If you are one of the 65 million players, you should know that there is a new event where you can find important offers and benefits. Sometimes, we see how we can earn double XP in Pokémon Go, get offers in the store, and find more Pokémon than normal. Thanks to the Easter event, Pokémon Go wants to recruit old players and give a'Plus' to those who are already there.

There is a new event that has been taken out of the game's description.

The famous colored eggs are the most common at Easter. Eggs are popular in Pokémon Go since we can find them and hatch them.

Every time we do this, we get a new Pokemon, as well as candy and experience points.

You can earn double XP in the game thanks to the Easter event. The Pokémon that will appear in the 2 kilometer eggs will be a lot more varied. We don't know what kind of creatures we can find in these eggs, but Niantic says there will be more available.

We will have offers of up to 50% on Lucky Eggs. If you are wondering about the lucky eggs, you can say that if you carry one of them, you can earn 4 times more experience points, so leveling up will be easier.

The Easter event where you can get double XP in Pokemon Go is already underway, and you can enjoy it until April 20 at 10:00 p.m. The time is in Spanish.

But exercise is probably more important now, not only because of its health benefits but because it counters boredom and fills the time productively. "The pluses of exercise are immense, including more strength and flexibility, better balance, improved sleep, less stress, cardiorespiratory boosts such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol, better endurance, less depression, and cognitive improvements like better memory due to better blood flow to the brain," says Carolee Winstein, PhD, professor of biokinesiology and physical therapy at the University of Southern California.

Regular exercise also helps with maintaining a healthy weight. And it's vital for people with certain neurologic conditions, including Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and stroke, because it can enhance functioning and sleep, relieve fatigue, and in some cases even improve mobility and balance. "Exercise leads to more neuroplasticity and therefore better brain repair for people with neurologic dysfunction," says Herb Karpatkin, DSc, a physical therapist who specializes in MS.

If you usually work out somewhere that's temporarily closed due to COVID-19, you'll want to incorporate more exercise into your activity at home. Before you begin any fitness regimen, talk to your doctor, physical therapist, or neurologist. If you previously were prescribed exercises by a physical or occupational therapist, review the instructions with the therapist. Consider these other tips regarding physical activity at home.

Establish a schedule and location for exercising. "Those who already exercise regularly should maintain a similar amount and time," says Eric M. McDade, DO, associate professor of neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "If you're just starting, begin with 15 to 20 minutes a day at a pace where you are breathing harder but can still maintain a conversation."

"Being sedentary shortens muscles, which can impair mobility because the muscles adapt to the shorter range," says Dr. Karpatkin, associate professor of physical therapy at Hunter College in New York City. He advises his patients to stretch the calves, hips, lower back, and neck. Stretch until you can feel a pull in the muscle without pain, and hold it for at least 30 seconds; repeat four or five times a day.

Dust off your stationary bike or treadmill, if you have one, or dig out any equipment you received for rehabilitation following a hospitalization. Stretch your arms and legs with a towel or belt. Improvise by using unopened soup cans as weights.

"Many day-to-day household chores, such as vacuuming, washing dishes, and doing laundry, can provide a low to moderate level of exercise," says Dr. McDade. Keep track of these activities and challenge yourself to do them faster or more often. As the weather improves, add yard work to the list.

"There is good evidence that exercise like tai chi, yoga, and walking is beneficial for those with neurologic conditions," says Dr. McDade. A 2017 review of studies in the journal Parkinsonism and Related Disorders showed that tai chi and qigong significantly improved motor function, mood, and quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease. Consistency is more important than intensity, says Dr. McDade. The MS Society in Great Britain has an assortment of yoga programs that can be accessed online for free. Even simply standing up and sitting down five or six times every hour is good.

Music therapy improves motor symptoms and quality of life, according to a 2018 review of 27 articles on its benefits, published in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. Dance for PD at Home has a library of classes on its website, or you can livestream them on Zoom. Other dance classes are available online too.

Strength training helps develop or maintain fitness and bone health. It's also good for your brain and can increase mobility and function. If you don't have weights, use cans of food, bottles of water, or even pocketbooks or backpacks filled with objects to make them challenging to lift.

Almost any activity—including stretching, yoga, strength training, and even dancing—can be adapted to be performed in a chair. "Many of my Parkinson's patients who are in wheelchairs think exercise is no longer possible," says Jori Fleisher, MD, MSCE, a movement disorders specialist at Rush University in Chicago. To convince them otherwise, she asks them how they used to exercise and offers ways to replicate it in a chair. "If they loved cycling, they can get on a recumbent bike or sit in a chair and use a pedal device. If they love to dance, I can recommend all kinds of chair-based dance exercises." She says her patients are surprised by how vigorous these workouts can be. "There's a stigma that chair exercise is only for people in the advanced stages of disease or who are immobile, but that's not true," says Dr. Fleisher. "Chair workouts can be customized to anyone's level of fitness and ability." And for people with poor balance, not worrying about falling can be liberating, she says. To sample a class or two, check out Power for Parkinson's, Chair Fit with Nancy, Sit and Be Fit, or any of the hundreds of exercise videos on YouTube.

If movement is too difficult, do deep-breathing exercises. "Take as many deep breaths as you can, and let them out slowly," Dr. Karpatkin says. "Do that three or four times in a row." If you have trouble getting out of bed, try to tighten and relax your muscles while lying down, he suggests. Pump your ankles and roll from side to side. "If you move, you will feel better," says Dr. Karpatkin.

Many therapists are using telemedicine to meet with patients during COVID-19 shutdowns. Once you have familiarized yourself with the platform you and your therapist will be using (videoconferences like Zoom or a smartphone app such as FaceTime), prepare for your virtual visit as you would for an in-person session. Wear appropriate workout clothes and shoes, and gather the equipment you need or your therapist suggests such as a chair, mat, resistance bands, towels, physioball, or weights.

Situate your computer or phone so you can easily view the therapist (and vice versa) and have enough room to perform the exercises. Be sure the room is sufficiently lit (a light source in front of you is optimal) so your therapist can see what you're doing and make any necessary corrections. If you're unfamiliar with the technology or have trouble setting up your computer, ask a family member to help.

If you were already in physical therapy (PT), your therapist will take you through your usual routine. If you are starting PT with a telehealth session, expect the therapist to take a medical and family history, as well as ask about your current concerns and symptoms. "Regardless of the disease, everyone's going to present differently," says Herb Karpatkin, DSc, a physical therapist who specializes in multiple sclerosis. "So a full evaluation needs to be done."

From there, the therapist will tailor exercises for your particular concern. For instance, if you have foot drop—weakness of the muscles that pull the foot up and tightness in the muscles that pull the foot down—you might do a standing calf stretch. If you have poor balance, you might do a series of balance poses or exercises, perhaps with your eyes closed or your feet as close together as possible.

Therapists may send you links to videos demonstrating exercises or do the exercises themselves. "I've sent videos from my smartphone to several patients showing them how I want them to do a particular exercise," Dr. Karpatkin says. Patients can watch the videos and practice the exercises in anticipation of a virtual session.

MUMBAI, April 21 (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has allowed HDFC Bank Ltd (HDBK.NS) and Housing Development Finance Corp Ltd (HDFC) (HDFC.NS) selective regulatory relief to smooth out the merger between the two organisations, set to conclude by July this year.

The central bank has permitted the bank to meet priority sector lending requirements in a staggered fashion over three years, HDFC Bank said in an exchange notification on Friday.

These requirements, which include lending to weaker segments of the economy, are linked to an organisation's loan book.

At the end of the first year after the merger, the combined entity will need to include one-third of HDFC's loan book to calculate the amount of priority sector lending required.

Priority sector lending on the remaining part of the loan book would need to be met over the next two years, HDFC Bank said in the statement.

However, immediately after the merger, the combined entity, which will be called HDFC Bank, will need to comply with requirements to hold a certain level of cash reserve ratio, statutory liquidity ratio and liquidity coverage ratio on the entire merged balance sheet.

Earlier this week, Reuters reported that the bank and the housing financier had raised adequate liquidity to meet these requirements from the start.

Investments and associates of HDFC will be allowed to continue as investments of the combined HDFC Bank although the bank will need to exit a few select ventures over time.

However, the RBI said that before the merger closes, HDFC Bank or HDFC can increase their shareholding to more than 50% in HDFC Life Insurance Co Ltd (HDFL.NS) and HDFC ERGO General Insurance.

But HDFC Bank has two years to both exit HDFC's investment in HDFC Education and Development Services and reduce its stake in HDFC Credila Financial Services to 10%.

As per norms applicable to the banks, HDFC Bank will have to transition all HDFC's retail and small business borrowers to an external benchmark, like the repo rate, within six months of the merger.

Housing finance companies have greater flexibility than banks in providing loans against shares. The RBI has allowed HDFC Bank to allow existing loans against shares within the HDFC portfolio to continue until maturity, the notification said.

A few key issues still await clarity from the RBI, the bank's management said at an analyst call on Friday.

The merged entity will be seeking clarity on whether HDFC's borrowings, including those from banks, will be allowed to continue till maturity, said the bank's CFO Srinivasan Vaidyanathan on the call.

HDFC, as a non-bank lender, is allowed to borrow from banks but HDFC Bank is not allowed to borrow from other banks.

Clarity is also needed on loans given by HDFC for land and to core investment companies, he said.
