Exercise regularly
Researchers have found that exercise can improve gut health in various ways, from bolstering the microbiome to reducing the risks of colorectal cancer and constipation. Even just 15 minutes of mild to moderate exercise — like going for a walk or raking the leaves — can cause blood flow and hormone changes in the gut that can stimulate your bowels to propel contents forward.
Love elapses like the river
Love goes by
Poor life is indolent
And expectation always violent

Protests, sometimes violent have pricked the conscience of King Muhammad VI
Why has a world of glorious, cosmopolitan Islamic empires becomes so abject?

'Why Priests?: A Failed Tradition'
By GARRY WILLS
Reviewed by RANDALL BALMER
Garry Wills maintains that the Roman Catholic priesthood has arrogated to itself powers unimagined by Jesus and his disciples.ASIA’S economies have long wowed the world with their dynamism. Thanks to years of spectacular growth, more people have been pulled from abject poverty in modern Asia than at any other time in history. But as they become more affluent, the region’s citizens want more from their governments. Across the continent pressure is growing for public pensions, national health insurance, unemployment benefits and other hallmarks of social protection. As a result, the world’s most vibrant economies are shifting gear, away from simply building wealth towards building a welfare state.
China’s restive Tibetan regions
Iran Expanding Effort to Stifle the Opposition
By ROBERT F. WORTH
The government appears to be launching an ambitious effort to discredit its opponents and re-educate the country’s young and restive population.
Both authors contrast Johnson’s abject youth with his adult fame, his physical awkwardness with his conversational fluency, his self-diagnosed “indolence” with his superhuman literary output.

Alcatel-Lucent executives tried to reassure restive shareholders that the telecom-gear maker's long-term growth prospects were strong, despite mounting competitive pressures.
These, then, are the global challenges that the G8’s leaders will attempt to address (while also finding time to condemn Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe and gauge progress on North Korea’s denuclearisation). If only electorates were behind them. President Nicolas Sarkozy of France has yet to regain the popularity and authority that propelled him to office. Mr Bush, unpopular at home, is nearing the end of his term. Mr Fukuda will possibly not be around in a year’s time, with Mr Brown’s future only a little less assured. Popular restiveness against national leaders, even if it is not allowed to show itself in Toyako, puts the G8’s goals in even greater question.

The Uighurs, an ethnic minority in China
Although it's the world's fourth largest economy, China is still a place where extreme affluence and abject poverty exist side by side. The province of Xinjiang in China's Northwest, one of the poorest regions in the Middle Kingdom, is a world apart from cities like Shanghai or Beijing, with their hustle and bustle.
Covered by inhospitable deserts and high mountain ranges, the vast province is home to the minority called Uighurs, who are mainly Muslim. Their culture, language and religion set them apart from the Han Chinese, the dominant ethnic group in China.
For several years the central government has been trying to develop the region - to narrow the wide income gap between the poor West and the booming coastal provinces in the East. But the campaign also aims to bring stability to this restive region where the Uighurs resent the continuing influx of Han Chinese. Ruth Kirchner sent this report from Xinjiang.
