Researchers found that those elderly people who intentionally lose weight by additional physical activity and (or) diet reduced the risk of mortality by half over the next eight years of weight loss. Were analyzed results of the study late 90s, aimed at assessing the impact of weight loss and exercise on the physical condition of 318 people aged over 60 with arthritis of knee joints. All volunteers – elderly people living normal daily life – were overweight at baseline. The first stage of weight loss, which was held for 18 months from 1996 to 1998, resulted in an average loss of 4.7 kg in 159 elderly volunteers. People in the control group, no efforts to lose weight, lose weight, too, naturally, on average – by 1.4 kg. After 8 years, researchers have found out which of the participants in the experiment has left this world. Mortality among the weight loss was two times lower than those who did not undertake efforts to reduce weight. In the oldest age group (75 years and over), the correlation between weight loss and reduced mortality was the same as that of those who were 60 to 75. This discovery interpretation of data: most likely, weight loss in older subjects in the research of other scientists were not intentional, but due to some diseases. While the people who participated in the experiment, tested only typical for their age group with health problems and no more. Thus, if the weight is reduced in old age as a result of diet or exercise, it helps to help deal with such age problems like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and blood sugar, which helps to increase life expectancy.

Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine – a concept known for almost everyone. At the same time this kind of medicine is still mysterious and unexplored fully. This, in turn, is attracting special attention, as followers of this direction of promoting the special treatments that are radically different from today.

Top of the disease is preceded by some "subtle" symptoms, which we usually do not pay attention. Modern medicine is immediately taken for treatment of the body which is prone to disease or treatment of emerging disease. At the same time on the causes of disease few people think the main thing – it's the end result, in other words, a full recovery. It is known that treatment implies the acceptance of pharmaceutical products and certain procedures. But how are ordinary pills? If you have a headache, then people take painkillers. The pain goes away, but returned later. We get used as to live, thinking that this is a common reaction to stress, weather and other factors. Chinese medicine refers to this issue is more progressive. Since the body – a unified whole, with the disease of any organ, should be treated not the disease but the man himself. Chinese philosophy says that the body found channels and points, when exposed to that can cure even the most hopeless patient. When the overlap energy flow on a particular channel is blocked, it violates the functioning of the whole organism, which is why he gets sick. The task of the expert to open these channels, acting on them and on point man. But here it is necessary to excellent knowledge of the anatomy of the human body, to know the location of points that have an impact on some of the functions main methods of Chinese medicine are acupuncture, massage, pharmacological intervention, breathing and movement exercises, moxibustion, and others.
O Friendship !
Write about friendship can be a lot. Just as you write about it, if each person has his own concept of friendship. And how do people can be friends if they have different concepts of friendship? After all, we rarely find true friends who are similar to us on the opinions, judgments, on the philosophy of life. But it happens and friendship among such a betrayal. And as this be explained? For example, a promised and done, though he was for some reason it is difficult to make, and the other would have waved his hand and found many reasons to justify it. And at that and the other would have been the supporters and opponents.
Among the supporters of the first will be some who will arrive in the situation described above in the same way as the second. That’s interesting to me, and friendship can bored? If everything smoothly and well, maybe one of your friends want to add a fly, because there is no guarantee that another such experiment would react to a quarrel and a complete rupture. Tembolee can we consider this friendship, if one Friends of the accused and blamed the other that is not peculiar to that person. I think it just threw popolzovalsya and, if not the right thing. Can not tolerate this, this is not a need to respect, if forgiving like that. But if insulted the intimate side of the family, it is no longer a friend, you bastard, which is never a friend and did not respect! And sometimes, friends want to be praised and not hide it, and then his sin is passing you by!

We are not novices – go to the baths on a regular basis, we love her and respect, so we were really confident that surprise us with something in the sauna actually impossible. Well, lie on the hot marble Turkish bath, sit in a Russian steam bath, take a steam with each other broom, delve into the cold baptismal font – that's great day was not wasted. But sometimes you want something more – caring, affection, new sensations, of total relaxation – a kind of oriental bliss in the style of "Thousand and One Nights." And what would bath was only for you and all the attention only to you – a normal human desire – to become the center of the universe. We had only just crossed the threshold sauna suite, sauna and dreams of happiness began to come true. We have not yet entered the steam room, and already was warm and cozy from the sincere smiles and warm hospitality … All of us wait, give a little look around – we slowed down our bath attendants, who cheerfully waving brooms actively touted us in a steam room. Looked around and … you get bored.
What a pity that we do not our friends. It would be good to come here a friendly company, relax, take a steam bath, a cup of tea or something a little stronger, play billiards, to torment each other performance of your favorite songs at karaoke. And then we both somehow got lost in the size and diversity of the sauna suite. But on the other hand is nice – here only we and all for us.
