Dr. Dov Jay Berkowitz | After five thousand years of written documentation, Yoga may well be the oldest self-improvement system that ever existed. We don’t know what Yoga knowledge may have been lost before man started to record it. In the time period beyond 5,000 years a fair amount of knowledge would have been passed on by word of mouth, and as a result, some of it would be missing. Dr. Dov Jay Berkowitz There are many different types of Yoga, but all of them contribute to mankind’s self-improvement. So, mankind has been a work in progress for thousands of years and has organized systems to constantly improve. Let’s look at some Yogic principles that are often recognized as “modern” self-improvements. Activate your mind and body together through daily Yoga practice. The mind is more powerful than the sum of its thoughts and it must be controlled. The mind that is allowed to wander usually produces random and unproductive thought.

Dr. Dov J Berkowitz | Hello everyone out there on the World Wide Web. This is Joshua Goodlow and in this post I want to share something with you that is near and dear to my heart. In this article, I wish to share with you why I personally believe that your body is your temple. Dr. Dov J Berkowitz Before we get started, let me just make this one clear distinction. I believe that 90 percent of who you are, is invisible. I believe that who we see on the inside and who we see when we look in the mirror is just the tip of the iceberg. We are more than who and what we see on the outside. We are more that the physical body that we see on a daily basis.

I also believe that our bodies are here to take care of us and to help us navigate through this physical reality. Therefore, we are here to take care of it. Without further adieu, I want to share with you as to why I believe that your ...

One topic of discussion is eating habits; what to feed your baby, when to feed your baby and how to feed your baby. There is no top 10 list of “must’ have foods out there for moms to reference. But there are many options to choose from. Don’t be a parent that falls into the trap of offering the same repetitive meals to your baby in the first year. The first year is when your baby’s palate is trained to try different things. your baby can become bored or tired of the same food, just like you would. Dr. Dov Jay Berkowitz Three great rules to stick by are (1) Use fresh foods (It is easier and more cost effective to use a food processor to mush fresh foods for your baby). This will also preserve the nutrients, minerals and vitamins that can be lost in jar foods. (2) Try brightly colored food. Baby’s are visually stimulated at that age. So if you offer...

Dr. Dov Jay Berkowitz – While there are many pieces to the COVID 19 puzzle, and I certainly cannot address them all, I would like to give you first some practical advice, then explain the science behind it, and lastly, relate it to a somewhat more philosophical argument. Dr. Dov Jay Berkowitz Dr. Dov Jay Berkowitz : So, what to do in the context of the coronavirus to protect our health (apart from washing hands and self-isolating)? I suggest we go back to basics, namely: water, air, sun, and earth. These are basic resources, available freely from nature. As an aside: notice that even where these basic natural energy resources were not available until recently due to environmental pollution, the drastic measures we have been taking to minimize the spread of the coronavirus have actually allowed us to enjoy clearer waters, blue skies and fresher air (which Europeans can breathe from their balconies). Dr. Dov Jay Berkowitz : Now, let us look at how water, air, sun, and earth might i...
