This page is dedicated to Sangeeta of Sangeeta Ayurveda. Her new website was created out of her passion for Ayurveda for good health and healthy living.
For those of you like me that have never heard of Ayurveda, join the crowd. I hadn’t either and of the dozen or so I asked they hadn’t either. Ayurveda is finally catching on, more so in other countries, but slowly here in the USA. It’s a very interesting science of healthy living and is one that has been refined over centuries of use in India.
Sangeeta has spent many long years studying about Ayurveda, then practicing the science herself and for many friends and clients she has helped over the years. Ayurveda followed a natural progression from her scholarly studies of the Vedas which was her first passion and continuing passion.
Visit her site to learn about Ayurveda and how it can help you personally improve your health. If you are interested in the origins of Ayurveda and much more science from ancient India visit her companion site Ved Gyan at http://VedaGyan.com to learn about the Vedas. If you’ve never heard about the Vedas you need to visit her site. If you already know about the Vedas her site will help explain it in easy to understand English although the original documents were written in Sanskrit.

A Lovebird is one of nine species of the genus Agapornis. Lovebirds are social and affectionate small parrots. Eight species are native to the African continent, while the Grey-headed Lovebird is native to Madagascar. Their name stems from the parrots’ strong, monogamous pair bonding and the long periods in which paired birds will spend sitting together.
Lovebirds live in small flocks and eat fruit, vegetables, grasses and seed. There are Black-winged Lovebirds that also eat insects and figs, and Black-collared Lovebirds that have a special dietary requirement for native figs.
Some species of lovebirds are kept as pets. Some species are selectively bred in aviculture for their color mutations. The average lifespan of lovebirds are 10 to 15 years.

Albatross Quotes
Albatross
|
|
Albatrosses, of the biological family Diomedeidae, are large seabirds allied to the procellariids, storm-petrels and diving-petrels in the order Procellariiformes. They range widely in the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific. They are absent from the North Atlantic.
Food: They feed on fish, squid, and krill by scavenging, surface seizing or diving.
Nesting: Albatrosses are colonial, nesting for the most part on remote oceanic islands, often with several species nesting together.
Breeding: A breeding season can take over a year from laying to fledgling, with only a single egg laid in each breeding attempt.
Taking off is one of the main times albatrosses use flapping in order to fly, and is the most energetically demanding part of a journey.
Albatross Quotes
