Temperament and blood group.

1 blood causes you to be first in everything, to take the offensive and take risks. You are a born leader.
Need intensive physical activity that helps relieve stress, "acquired" in high office. Without a daily dose of "muscular joy" you start moping and typed excess weight.
! blood associated with tranquility and order, basic features of the holders of the group - the sensitivity, patience, kindness. Disadvantages - stubbornness, manifested from time to time, inability to relax, a tendency to inactivity. Take care of hatha yoga, swimming, brisk walking, stretching exercises.
111 blood has to individualism, the owners do as they please. Often the desire to be free and independent turns into a weakness.

1U blood. Its owners are endowed with a balanced character. To be in their company is nice. However, they have long range before an important decision, it is sometimes too conservative. Do not let fatigue - muscle load can be intense, but in a moderate mode. Ideal long walks, swimming.

Chronic pain in the legs.

Such an "incomprehensible" pain in the legs appears or after unusually long distance, violations of the power and rhythm, after trying to lose weight. Soon the pain begin to bother with the first steps and continue all day. When the feeling of the legs revealed soft tissue tenderness, especially at junctions muscle tendons and tendon to the bone. It is evident decrease of the shoulder girdle muscles, thighs, legs and feet, which is the consequence of reducing the load on the muscular frame. Stifle look unnaturally large, and ledges pelvis and shoulder girdle are clearly visible. In the ankles and feet is almost always possible to detect swelling, skin sometimes slightly bluish. Some restriction of movement are possible because of pain in the muscles.
Most often diagnosed with osteoarthritis arthralgia. The disease is accompanied by destruction of cartilage, capsule and ligaments of the joints. Joint pain in osteoarthritis are under medication, physical therapy, or after a spa treatment. At the "wanton" pain in the legs prescribed treatment does not help.
Chronic pain in the legs sometimes explained varicose veins, but it is the disease is different: the pain begins in the afternoon, after the fixed seating or long walk in the evening there is a heaviness in the feet and lower legs there is swelling by morning sickness symptoms are . Often extended subcutaneous veins, the skin in the area of ​​varicose veins change color.
And in gout disease is different, gout - a metabolic disorder with the formation of uric acid. The disease begins with acute pain, swelling and redness of the first toe. The condition of patients improved when they are reduced in the diet of meat, excludes alcoholic beverages, occasionally drinking alkaline mineral water shed excess weight.
Chronic pain in the legs when "unreasonable" myalgia is a consequence of damage to the mechanism of removal of waste products from the muscles.
Water scarcity is one of the factors that cause pain in the legs. Because it thickens the blood filtration in the kidneys decreases in violation of the urinary excretion of toxic products.
The second most important factor for violating a condition of muscles are broken in the blood and lymph circulation. Metabolism in the blood through the membrane capillaries, but is the condition - the substance must be in the form of electrolytes (salts solutions and simple sugars: glucose, fructose).
But not prevail in the body electrolytes and colloids - solutions of proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and the slag (the end products of metabolism). They do not penetrate through the membrane for removal of toxic products in the colloidal state is the lymphatic system.
Feature lymphatic vessels is that they begin in tissues and they have special pores through which the "suction" colloids. But the lymph flow is maintained by reducing the muscle of the foot, shin and thigh. If slowing venous and lymphatic flow, metabolic products accumulate in the muscles, increasing pain, stiffness and pain due to violating the flow of lymph from the soft tissues. The circle is closed.
When the pain in the legs or the appearance of numbness, "pins and needles Run Games", weakness, chilliness should accurately calculate water demand (for 1 kg of 30 ml of water, and in the summer - 40 ml). These include all liquids except tea, coffee, beer and other alcohol (they have diuretic and dehydrating). The volume of fresh vegetables, fruits and berries can be taken as 100%. We must get in the habit of drinking a glass of water before a meal.
If you have pain every day to carry out restoration of blood flow and lymphatic exercises "bicycle", "scissors", "birch".
The diet regime include drinking ginger tea, and juices (grapefruit, orange), decoction of dried fruits, increase the antioxidants: vitamins C and E. A trace mineral selenium.

Anti-stress diet.

The ancient Chinese sages warned: "Avoid excessive joy and excessive anger." Later, when we introduced the concept of "stress", the wisdom of this advice received scientific confirmation.
With occasional weak body handles stress itself, defeating his or adapting to it. Such stress, even useful, since trains the body's defenses. But of heavy episodic or chronic prolonged stress, the body suffers greatly, depleting their defenses.
The therapist will remove the psychological and emotional stress, prescribe sedatives course, will suggest the necessary exercise, but all of these activities will have a small positive effect if a person does not change the nature of the food.
There are products that contribute to the fact that the human nervous system proved to be more resistant to stress factors. And there are those that will provoke nervous excitability, even aggression.
Anti-stress products: bananas, plums, kiwis, tomatoes, walnuts because of their content of specific hormones - serotonin. When little hormone, a person falls into a depression. Serotonin that came with the food from depression do not deliver - it will collapse long before they arrive in the brain. But there is the matter from which the cells of the brain serotonin is produced. It is an essential amino acid tryptophan. But for protein meal, is insufficient.
To facilitate access to the brain tryptophan, it is necessary folic acid, and carbohydrates. Folic acid is a B vitamin group contain her dark green salads, vegetables, different greens (there they are desirable as possible and fresh). Folic acid helps the absorption of tryptophan from eating meat, which confirms the combination of meats with herbs and vegetables.
Access tryptophan into the brain facilitates the hormone insulin produced by the pancreas, when we consume carbohydrates. Their source is the bread, pasta, rice, sweet berries and fruits, honey.
Of tryptophan in the brain produces two hormones are similar in structure, but opposite in action. The morning of certain areas of the brain are set on the production of serotonin - the hormone of happiness. In the evening of tryptophan produced melatonin - the sleep hormone. It is equally necessary and smooth good mood and sound sleep. Therefore, rational classic European breakfast of bacon and eggs and a piece of bread out of the rough flour. And that dream was a strong, preferably at night to drink a glass of milk or yogurt with honey or with bread from wheat germ.
Chocolate lovers know that after its use there is a feeling of joy. A sense of pleasure from the chocolate is associated with substance anadamid, so that a cup of cocoa in the morning, or a few slices of dark chocolate can help to normalize the nervous system to calm stress.
Even more important products that will make our nervous system does not susceptible to psychological stress. Will help reduce the effects of stress relaxation, deep breathing and meditation.
All of our organs and cells work on the principle of excitement, tension - sedation, relaxation. Responsible for the excitation of calcium ions, and for braking - magnesium ions.
Rich sources of magnesium - any seeds, all nuts, all beans, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, whole grains, whole-grain bread or wheat germ. Important food sources of magnesium include green vegetables and herbs, because it is a component of chlorophyll of plants. A good source of magnesium - seaweed, squid and fish. Less magnesium in meat, liver, eggs, milk.
Try to get your daily bread was whole-grain, eat a handful of nuts or seeds all, two teaspoons of flax seed and sesame seeds, a teaspoon of seaweed. Prepare meals twice a week from legumes, do not forget about the porridge made from buckwheat and oatmeal and tea and coffee. Alternate between them.

     * 2 tablespoons of rose hips,
     * 2 tablespoons of St. John's wort,

Fiber for Weight Loss and Health

What is fiber? Fiber - a "skeleton" of plants. This fiber to the sustainability and strength of the plants and shells of their cells - that is, the anhydrous part of the plant. There are two basic types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. By soluble fiber include pectin and hemicellulose. The source of soluble fiber are fruits, vegetables, seeds, brown rice, barley and oats.
Soluble fiber promotes the formation of a soft stool. It also has a chemical effect that prevents or limits the absorption of the blood of a number of insalubrious substances.
Insoluble fiber - this cellulose, some hemicelluloses and lignin. The main source of insoluble fiber are unrefined grains, peel seeds, fruits, pulses and other food items. Insoluble fiber acts as a sponge, absorbs large amounts of water and fills the intestine, thereby intestinal dialysis.
When funding is necessary to increase fiber intake and the amount of liquid. If you do not, it fails to provide adequate beneficial impact, moreover, it can slow down or block the intestines out of waste products. Home "acquaintance" with the fiber with small doses, a gradual increase in fiber intake is recommended for people who are not accustomed to a high fiber diet. Before starting a new diet, rich in fiber, you should plan a gradual increase in the most servings of fiber.
And why, exactly, I have to eat this same tissue - may ask our contemporary - in fact it is not even the calories! Indeed, before fiber contemptuously called "bulking agents" because of the lack of calories and were deemed to lack of nutritional value. Now looks at the nutritional value of kletchatok radically changed. Kletchatok value is not measured in calories, and a powerful and preventive health-improving effect. Due to the lack of calories, and the swelling capacity, fiber used successfully to reduce body weight, removal of toxic substances.
Fiber promotes normal digestion, providing timely promotion of waste matter along the colon. To remove some of the toxins in the water it would take several times longer than the fiber, coping with this task. Fiber provides the regularity of bowel function and reduces the residence time in the body of various toxins and pollutants while neutralizing them. Substances such as secondary bile acids, excess fat, nitrosamines, harmful cholesterol, nitrites, toxins, radionuclides - can play a very negative role, they are all in their own dangerous to our health, toxic or carcinogenic. These substances bind cellulose and excreted when Received dietary fiber. Deficiency of fiber in the diet is dangerous not only constipation, but also the risk of many diseases.
During the excessive accumulation of toxins and gases in the human body is subjected to a much higher risk of getting sick - colds, allergies, nervous breakdown, insomnia, blurred vision, inflammation of the joints, osteoarthritis, cancer, - more than 200 terrible diseases of all organs of the body the enrichment of our preventable dietary substances with protective properties (including - of course, fiber!).
