Relaxation Exercises for Pregnant Relaxation is a key element in the domain of the body, one of the first steps to be overcome to achieve the discovery of yoga.

To Read, physical tranquility is the first objective, while a prerequisite for achieving mental peace.

We see that there is an identity in approach between Indian thought and ideas Read: “The dominion of the senses and the psyche goes through the mastery of the body. This identity justifies approach, in my opinion, the introduction of certain yogic exercises in preparation for painless childbirth.

Soviet doctors complain that the relaxation their passive nature, which leads, according to them, psycho-regression. Saying that women should be active, alert, be a participant.

I see this as a blatant contradiction, because the Russian doctors are deceiving their scientistic materialism. Indeed, it is clear that a relaxation is actually well made an active phenomenon that requires the participation of the will and can lead to higher levels of consciousness. Far from being a regression, to pave the way for the domain of the senses leads to relaxation, meditation and transcendence.

First, you should be aware of the existence of the various muscle groups, for which you have to get those muscles and then proceed to relax the voluntary effort.

For example, you start with the muscles of the toes, those of the calves, which control the movement of the feet, and thighs.

Then you move to the upper limbs, also controlling the contraction-and after-relaxation of the fingers, the muscles of the wrist and arm.

The relaxation of the body is more difficult to achieve, because it is less conscious of the same muscle groups. The exercise is muscle contraction and relaxation of the buttocks, perineum (effort to retain the deposition, and then relaxation), the abdominal wall and the spine (muscles of back and neck.)

HealthySedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits and hormonal problems that are not detected in time influence the overall increase in the population overweight. Fortunately, there are no voices or hands or heads who remain silent or inactive in this regard. Many institutions such as independent people have managed to reflect this problem. Additional aid was, therefore, both by government statutes and population.

In Colombia, it is commendable the activity pursued by a foundation called ‘Heart Chubs. ” Based in Medellin, the nonprofit organization was created and is run by a man who suffered the ravages of overweight and is now a normal Quilaja. The institution provides medical and psychological help for people of any age with weight problems. Currently, they pursued a campaign of solidarity that aims to collect funds to fight childhood obesity problem in that country has increased significantly in recent years. This foundation has important recognition of medical institutions.

Health campaigns against obesity from the Roche pharmaceuticals are known. Constantly have ads in various media whose main theme is clear: “Less kilos, more life.” They even call toll free to users who want to commit to this cause, either directly experience the problem because they know someone close to him or simply as a philanthropic intent. Within these ads, who are encouraged to see them develop a healthy lifestyle based on the adoption of a commitment to improving the quality of existence. It’s something striking.

Although not of direct campaigns against obesity, many food products are proof that its content is free of trans fats or bad cholesterol. Even endorse the appropriateness of its proposals by saying they are accepted by recognized medical associations. Such notices are a double-edged sword. On the one hand there is a duty to provide users with the best food for the health certificate. On the other hand, many of these deals should be banned within a black list of options for not drinking. The struggle between selling and protecting it is sometimes hard.

Impact of infectious diseases?Buy school supplies; check the status of uniforms, rescheduling timetables. Without doubt, go back to school creates anxiety and expectation in the family at the same time brings joy and relief to return to the means by which the kids to socialize par excellence: the school.

However, this return may raise concerns about the health of children, as both the garden as overcrowded schools represent spaces where children are at risk of contracting various diseases such as flu, bronchitis, pharyngitis, and other serious but less frequent as in the case of meningococcal disease.

Besides being a highly communicable disease, meningococcal disease requires immediate attention, because it can cause death within 24 hours. Usually appears in sporadic cases, apparently unrelated, endemic or in small outbreaks. According to statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), the condition causes some 500,000 cases and about 50,000 deaths a year worldwide. Particularly in Latin America, are reported annually around 5,000 affected, of which 14% ends in premature death.

What is meningococcal disease?

Commonly associated with meningitis as the only pathogen that causes meningitis. However, it is important to note that the Neustria meningitides-meningococcal scientific name – is the cause of the disease menigocóccica including meningitis and septicemia (multiplication of the microorganism in the blood that is evidenced by large areas of bleeding under the skin) among other diseases.

Meningitis is characterized by inflammation of tissues covering the brain and spinal cord. It is also caused by other pathogens including bacteria and viruses.

Generally, viral meningitis is reversible because it almost never life threatening and has fewer squeal. In contrast, bacterial meningitis is a major meningococcal pathogens, as well as other bacteria such as pneumococcal and Homophiles influenza b, among others. In Argentina, are reported annually around 100 cases of meningitis caused by meningococcal.

Why a fat body at risk of heart disease?

Why a fat body at risk of heart disease?New research is challenging the previous medical theory that people with “apple shape” who carry more fat around the waist are at greater risk of heart attack and stroke than those with “pear shaped”, with more fat in the hip.

A study of 220,000 people confirmed to be obese, i.e. have a body mass index or BMI of 30 or more, is the major cardiac risk factor, but found that the distribution of body fat has no impact on the risk.

“Regardless of how you measure it, obesity is bad for your heart. This study suggests that waist measurement is no better than calculate BMI,” said Mike Knap ton, associate medical director of the charity British Heart Foundation (British heart), which partially funded the study.

BMI is widely used by researchers and clinicians to assess the risks of a person’s health. Is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. A person who is qualified measured 1.65 inches with 68 kilos overweight when their BMI reaches 25 points and comes to obesity at 82 kilos.

According to the researchers, who published their findings in the medical journal The Lancet, previous studies have suggested that people with “central obesity”-described as “apple shape” – are at three times the risk of heart attack than those with general obesity as BMI measurement. However, other experts questioned those findings, so a large group of international scientists sought to clarify the issue.

The results of this international consortium of scientists suggest that while controlling weight and fat levels would be important to try to make people change their lifestyle, the best predictors of future cardiac risk are measurements of blood pressure cholesterol and a history of diabetes.

This new study included data on weight, hips, waist, blood pressure, cholesterol and other key points of more than 220,000 adults, which had no previous history of heart disease. They were followed for a decade.

During that period, about 14,000 suffered heart attacks or strokes (CVA).
John Danish, Cambridge University in Britain, which was one of nearly 200 scientists from 17 countries worked on the study, said the findings showed “essentially all types of obesity are equally bad” when it comes heart health.

Danish said the results should help guide medical practice worldwide, as currently the national and international guidelines offer different recommendations on the value of assessing levels of overweight in predicting future heart risk.

Obesity has become a global epidemic. Over 500 million people, or one in 10 adults worldwide, are currently considered obese, more than double than in 1980.
