Breathing- things you should think about when you breathe

Breathing-you should think about when you breathe

You must breathe through the nose. The nose has a cleaning function and releases the oxygen for the bacteria, dust particles, etc. But you have to breathe out through the mouth.

Expiratory phase must always be approximately twice as long as the breathing phase. It is important that you can get the used air completely out of the lungs. Many people often feel tired and exhausted, because they don't get breathed the air completely out. They certainly have the feeling that there is no more, but the body is still in the process of part with the used air. After this breathing pause requires the body completely automatic new air, and you are forced to breathe.

Avoid the mistakes that you try to force yourself to breath in and out as much as possible. If you breathe too intensively, it has the opposite effect: You, you become dizzy, muscles range and it can start to tingle and sting in the hands and feet.

Important! The breath comes of itself-so allow it to come up by themselves. That is the only way you can relax and do something good for yourself.

If not otherwise specified, you can perform the exercises in confined spaces. But make sure that there is enough fresh air in the room next to vent out about 10 minutes before you go in time (spent air contains no energy).

For all breathing exercises is that you first need to take a good breath (with the diaphragm). However, there is an exception by headaches. Breathe deep down into the stomach.

Organic red wine good for health

Organic red wine
Documented beneficial effect on health
It has long puzzled scientists in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: Among French men (Especially from southern France) there is a very low incidence of cardiovascular-in spite of the fact that the lifestyle at the edges should give rise to believe the opposite, since the diet is rich in saturated fatty acids, and a large part of the population are smokers. We are talking about actually "Mediterranean paradox".

After some wonder and debate came to forward to, that there might be a protective factor in the Mediterranean diet, and attention was rather quickly turned against the components of red wine.

It has been argued that the protection against cardiovascular, as red wine is believed to be able to give, derived from flavonoidernes antioxidant effect.

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) transports most of the cholesterol found in the blood. Oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, LDL is the first step towards atherosclerosis-the underlying cause of diseases of the coronary arteries, stroke and other cardiovascular-related diseases.

It has been shown that the phenols contained in red wine, are very effective in inhibiting LDL oxidation. Revels flavonoids increases the blood antioxidant effect by 15%.

An epidemiological trials in the Netherlands has examined the association between heart disease in the elderly and the intake of flavonoid-grants.

Anthocyanin is a group of flavonoids with antioxidant effect. The reason why fruit extract (of e.g. Blueberry, red grape, cherry and blackcurrant) has great antioxidant effect is precisely their anhocyanin content.

EYE SIGHT PROBLEMS

The development of new medications and surgical methods have led to great advances in the cure of diseases of the eye.

But in spite of these advances, doctors have often problems with chronic eye conditions who can't undergo surgery because the medication that works on the specific eye condition, may cause damage in the eyes, or even in the entire body. This gives the non-operative and drug free therapies even greater significance.

Almost all have astigmatism

According to a Swiss study has 75% of those suffering from astigmatism. 57% have problems with visual disturbances, which can be traced back to the astigmatism.

the astigmatism  the eyes see not parallel to each other.

The continuing strain on the eye muscles and fusion of images in the brain. 57% of the population has at least one of the following problems:

Headache
Migraine
Dry eyes
Chronic connective tissue inflammation
Sensitivity To Light
Blurred vision
Strained or troubled vision
Feeling of tightness in the eye
Burning and/or itchy eyes
Tension in the shoulder/neck region or back pain

In the majority of cases of astigmatism you can improve or eliminate the problems with acupuncture or by compensating with special glasses. To produce these lenses required special methods, which makes it possible to determine the nature of the building. The practitioner must also have a special instrument, which is far more advanced to learn how to use and use than the usual apparatus for glasses provision-as well as a great deal of experience.

Eye problems can cause back problems


With 56% of the population is Visual axis in the eyes away from each other in height. You cannot view by looking at the character-only with special measuring equipment. Without something to equalize the difference leads this altitude deviation for double vision, as the body tries to prevent by all means, but the eye muscles and the brain can only with difficulty in the long run offset height variance. Head tilts often to one side in order to counteract the difference.

The following picture is tilted his head slightly to the left. The left side of the shoulder and neck msucles pulls the head over in this crooked position, while the other side buckles in order to prevent a further against the crack in the head. It leads to a rather static load, which, in the end, often causing pain in one or both sides. Pelvis trying to equalize the imbalance from the slope-and thus burdened one leg. This leads in turn to a tilted pelvis and a curvature of the spinal column and consequent problems.

So the eyes can be the cause of all the troubles.

Removes one height deviation with acupuncture or corrects eyesight with glasses, dishes the head itself rather quickly, so it again is just, and then going to the mentioned problems mostly also slowly abating or completely disappear.

The eye's retina can show a risk of heart failure

The eye's retina can show a risk of heart failure
Microaneurismas, retinal haemorrhages and cotton patches, along with other signs of retinopathy independent risk factors for heart failure-even in patients without diabetes or hypertension. This is the main conclusion of a population-based, prospective study published in January in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

According to Ten Wong from the University of Melbourne, Australia, is a known marker for systemic cardiovascular retinopathy disease. The author adds that "is growing evidence that coronary cardiovascular ysfunction can be an underlying mechanism among patients with symptoms and findings on myocardial ischemia, which can not detect Coronary lesions angiography".

In this study, nearly 12,000 people between 49 and 73 years followed for seven years. They got taken retinal photographs between 1993 and 1995. Retinal changes were assessed according to a standardized protocol. A total of the incidence of heart failure was 5% (492 hospitalizations or deaths). It was three times higher among patients with retinopathy (15 vs. 5%).

Even after adjusting for age, prior coronary disease, blood pressure, diabetes and Glycemic level and so on, had patients with retinopathy a relative risk of heart failure in two.

Essential oils-smells good, feels good and works good

Essential oils-smells good, feels good and works good
When it hits, you have you feel miserable: Cough, cold, sore throat and general fatigue with a head that feels thick, and pain in the joints and it must really not underestimate ...
Children are often harder than adults. From kindergarten and school drags the time and time again new disease-causing viruses and bacteria with home-10-12 infections per year is not something out of the ordinary, for the children's immune systems are not as well developed as an adult. The numerous infections is an important exercise of the immune system, so that later in life can work perfectly.

Respiratory infections are frequent and burdensome
Nature offers many fragrant assistive devices, the essential oils-plant ingredients from many different plants, formed for a variety of purposes. Thus Lavender flowers scent lures insects which ensures pollination. The bitter bark on camphor tree discourages animals from biting into it and the antimicrobial effect of the essential oils protect it against attacks from microscopic enemies like bacteria, viruses, and yeasts.

Precisely this principle makes man the use of when we use the essential oils. The oils are volatile and easily absorbed by the body in two different ways: Vaporized oil comes by inhalation to the inflamed Mucosa, and if the oil is applied to the skin, the body absorbs the active substances via hudo, verfladen and via the bloodstream comes it already a few minutes later into the respiratory tract, where it unfolds its healing effect.

There is, for example. not something much more wonderful than a relaxing bath for colds. After a cold day in humid autumn or winter weather dispels it on the very best way the cold of new looks, as so often, are reporting the arrival of a cold. The essential oils causes you to breathe freely again. And, last but not least, do the hot water you feel drowsy, so you can sleep yourself healthy and sane again.

Application is at the same time a practical and beneficent kind of application – ideal before bedtime, for the di it provides a scent of peace and tranquillity And it is really not only good for kids! Also inhalation of essential oil has his permanent place in the herbal art. The classic treatment with a towel over the hooves-it and hot water, where you have added peppermint oil, is very easy to implement.

Essential oils for children? Jada!
But it is only certain essential oil that is suitable for the treatment of children. Thus, products containing camphor and menthol, not suitable for children under 12 years of age to the intake. Take balm can b-res on the chest and back, but may not be used in the facial area. Here you should just be aware of who that the sick child should be washed, so cold funds not located in several layers on the skin. A not too hot bath (38.5 ° c) has a special effect on the sick child: it makes that child falls into a better sleep and the body thus has the opportunity to recuperate during the night.

Anger weakens the immune system

Most have probably had a clue that it is not healthy to yell and scream at each other. Discuss instead quietly. According to the scientific journal Geo so attacking a 20-minute altercation the immune system, and up to 300 mg vitamin C smoking in the bargain. It is five times more than what the authorities recommend as a daily injection.

Anger and early disease of the coronary arteries
Anger can trigger myocardie-ischemia and may be an independent risk factor for diseases of the brain-related coronary arteries. A study of EUR 1 055 men have shown that the adjusted 38-year average-risk for early disease of the coronary arteries among men under 55 years of age with a highest score 3 of a general anger at the medical school (expressed or suppressed anger, annoyance and irritability over the ability to cope with stress) was 3.1 (95% CI 11.1-8.6) incl. a recurrence rate of 3.5 premature ill-judgement in the coronary arteries (95% CI 1.1-11.8) and 6.4 for early myocardie-infarction (95% CI 1.8-22.3) compared to men who had a lower score. When you included cases of disease of the coronary arteries of men over 55 years of age, there were no significant context.

Anger and hostility can give heart attacks

Master your anger if you want to avoid heart attacks. 12.986 peoples were followed in a six-year period. Each participant was classified into one of three groups, depending on how "angry they were." High-anger (8%), mean angry (55%) or a little anger (37%). 1 over the 6 years got 256 people heart attacks. The people there were classified in group ' high anger ' was 2.7 times greater chance of heart attack compared to people in the group ' a little angry '.

In a second study has shown that people who are often angry, have a higher concentration of homocysteine in the blood than more laid-back people. An elevated level of homocysteine is associated with increased risk of heart attacks.

What is the role of acids and bases in our nutrition

A healthy and well balanced diet has too many people very great importance-and yet we eat predominantly bad foods. We may go often eat fast-food, lunches and a dinners with a high protein and low mineral content, and our body thus exposed all the time that are bad for us and that we cannot digest. In order to maintain the natural acid balance in our sotmach that will help us digest food better in the long run we need a higher intake of alkaline mineral and only trace elements of salts.

Since we are constantly subjected to a varying amount of acids and bases, the body has developed a mechanism which can keep acid-/base balance in a natural balance. This equilibrium with healthy people on is ideally situated on 20% acid and 80% base. But our diets are often complex, so the ratio is counter-productive. Therefore, the body is constantly working to counter this displacement in the natural equilibrium.

Lavender the fungi killer

Fragrant kills
Lavender can be anything other than just smells good. In laboratory experiments have distilled lavender oil: proved to be an effective fungi killer.

Professor Lígia Salgueiro from the University of Coimbra in Portugal used for his experiments of lavender oil from Lavandula viridis L'Hér, which grows in southern Portugal. Lavender oil was poured into petri dishes with cultures of mushrooms among other Candida-species, which grows naturally in and on our bodies, as well as dermatophytes, there is a kind of mold, which can cause, among other things, foot and nail fungus. And here showed lavender oil as an effective fungi killer.

Now that's good news for people with fungal infections, for other effective antifungal drugs can have unwanted side effects including abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea. These might be avoided if we can develop a treatment for fungus based on lavender oil.

Lavender oil makes the cabbage on the mushrooms by breaking down cell walls, and thus die the fungus. But there is a long way from the successful experiment in a petri dish, for that one can begin to use lavender oil to combat fungal infections in humans. The next step is to test on animals, how lavender oil works on living organisms with a fungal infection.

Walnuts are a good source of melatonin

Walnuts are a good source of melatonin
There has been much research into the health-promoting properties of Walnut's, but new studies have shown that the nuts also are a source of it antioxi-dante hormone melatonin. The results suggest that Walnut-who can give blood levels of melatonin and antioxidants a push.

Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally in the pineal gland in humans. It is most often associated with sleep regulation, since it is produced in the course of the hour, where it's dark. In the United States, melatonin supplements often use by individuals with an irregular sleep pattern, shift work or jet-lag. The new tests were conducted at the University of Texas Health Science Center and published in the september issue of Nutrition.

The researchers wanted to see whether there is melatonin in walnuts, and on intake of walnuts have a impact on the levels of melatonin and antioxidants in the blood.

First turned to melatonin from walnuts and amount of specific substance by a method called liquid chromatography (HPLC, high-performance liquid chromatography). It was thus that there were between 2.5 and 4.5 nanograms per gram of melatonin walnut. Then the researchers gave either val-nuts or regular food for rats after having regulated their feed prior to the study. We also measured rotternes blood levels of melatonin and their "total antioxidant strength".

Three walnuts seemed to increase blood concentration of melatonin to the triple with the rats that got the walnuts in the diet, compared with the group that was commonly used as animal feed. Blood anti-oxidant content also increased.

Research Director Russel Reiter says: "Our research shows that walnuts contain melato-nin, that it is absorbed into the body by ingestion, and it improves the ability to withstand oxidation caused by harmful molecules called free radicals".

Although it is not yet clear how many walnuts a human must eat in order to achieve the beneficial effect.

The body's production of melatonin decreases with age. The study raises the question whether there may be a link between declining production of melatonin and the development of diseases related to free radical damage later in life.

Walnuts content of Omega 3 fatty acids have already been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease. Reiter claims that the synergistic effect of Omega 3, melatonin and other nutrients do walnuts more efficient than the supplements that contains only one of these factors. "I believe that the wlanuts nutritional value lies in their combination of ingredients," he says. He is planning further research activities on the interaction between melatonin and Omega 3.

Reiter's research received financial support from the California Walnut Industry.
