The frogs' front legs are a bit shorter than their hind legs, but they compensate for this by stretching their front legs out when they walk while using a slight crouching posture on their back legs. ======================= *LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻 ======================= *प्राता रत्नं प्रातरित्वा दधाति ।*  prātā ratnaṃ prātaritvā dadhāti An early riser earns good health. प्रातःकाल उठने वाले अच्छा स्वास्थ्य प्राप्त करतें है ।  =======================  🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ ======================= *How a Hen hatch eggs* 🐣🐥🐓  A hen that is committed to hatching chicks is known as a broody.

It occurs in the Hindu calendar, in the month of Margashirsha (between December and January). When observed, it bestows liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

The Dhanurmaasa Sukla Paksha Ekadasi day is considered as the Vaikunta Ekadasi day. Ekadashi is considered to be an auspicious day in Hindu and Jain culture.

As a result, the body begins gluconeogenesis, a natural process of producing its own sugar. The liver helps by converting non-carbohydrate materials like lactate, amino acids, and fats into glucose energy. Because our bodies conserve energy during fasting, our basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy our bodies burn while resting) becomes more efficient, thereby lowering our heart rate and blood pressure. ======================= *Regards* *CH Nαʋҽҽɳ Kυɱαɾ..*.✒️ ÷÷÷÷÷÷ *Samapth*÷÷÷÷÷÷÷ ╭──────────────────╮ *🙏PLZ SHARE IT🌼* ╰──────────────────╯
