The concept " healthy lifestyle" in the opinion of different people it turns out to be rather controversial, which is associated with two problems. First, in the healthiest way of life, each person sees not the entire set of components that form it, but only that aspect of it with which he is best familiar. This is the reason for the well-known thesis: a healthy lifestyle is not drinking, not smoking and exercising. There is nothing surprising in this view, because it itself is indisputable, obvious. But if you prove that you understand the issues of rational nutrition, psychoregulation, hardening ... - here you can already meet not only comrades-in-arms, but also opponents.

Secondly, the difficulties in objectively characterizing a healthy lifestyle are due to the fact that until now, as regrettable as it is, there are no scientifically substantiated recommendations for almost any component that forms vital activity. This is evidenced, for example, by the differences and inconsistency of the recommendations available on these issues in different countries (for example, on rational nutrition, determination of normal body weight, etc.) or periodically increasing praises, and then blasphemy against one or another means of life (for example, on childbirth in the water, on "Baby" UK Ivanov, for certain funds traditional medicine etc.). That is why a person becomes a hostage to the currently dominant representation, intrusive advertising, incompetent people (alas, sometimes including doctors whom we blindly trust), dubious quality of available literature, etc.

Man (as will be shown in the next section) is a contradictory unity of the evolutionary past and the social present. Based on this, it would be fair to say that this very circumstance should be poisonous in the search for a methodology for a healthy lifestyle. First of all, this means that it should be considered from the standpoint of the genotype and phenotype. this person... For example, green apples should find their place in the diet of a person with reduced level gastric secretion, but it is advisable to avoid them for a person with increased secretion; in choosing a sport, the choleric person is more suitable for single combats or games, and for phlegmatic people - endurance exercises; a person who belongs to the functional-metabolic classification “stayer” is hardly worth going on vacation abroad for several days, but it’s even desirable for a “sprinter” to do this ...

Consequently, in defining the concept of a healthy lifestyle, it is necessary to take into account two starting factors - the genetic nature of a given person and its compliance with specific conditions of life. From these positions healthy lifestyle there is a way of life that corresponds to the genetically determined typological characteristics of a given person, specific living conditions, and is aimed at the formation, preservation and strengthening of health and at the full performance of a person's socio-biological functions.

In the above definition of a healthy lifestyle, the emphasis is on the individualization of the concept itself, i.e. even if there are fundamental recommendations for building a healthy lifestyle, each person should have his own, with his own specific characteristics. So, in the development of a healthy lifestyle program for each person, it is necessary to take into account both his typological characteristics (type of temperament, morphofunctional type, the prevailing mechanism of autonomic nervous regulation, etc.), as well as age and sex, nationality and social environment in which he lives (marital status, profession, traditions, working conditions, material security, everyday life, etc.), etc. In addition, in the initial premises an important place should be occupied by the personal and motivational characteristics of a given person, his life guidelines.

There are a number of circumstances common to all people and built on the basic principles of organizing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which will be discussed below. So far, we will only note a number of key provisions that underlie a healthy lifestyle:

• An active carrier of a healthy lifestyle is a specific person as a subject and object of his life and social status.
• In the implementation of a healthy lifestyle, a person acts in the unity of his biological and social principles.
• The formation of a healthy lifestyle is based on the personal-motivational attitude of a person to the embodiment of his social, physical, intellectual and mental capabilities and abilities.
• Healthy way life is the most effective means and method of ensuring health, primary prevention disease and the satisfaction of a vital need for health.

So, each person should have his own health system as a set of lifestyle circumstances that he implements. It is clear that in order to develop "his" system, a person will try various means and systems, analyze their acceptability and effectiveness, and select the best.

What should you fill your lifestyle with in order to consider it healthy? This should be helped by the analysis of factors that help in our daily behavior and that harm our health (Table 4).

Healthy lifestyle principles

Taking into account all the above prerequisites, which must correspond to a healthy life activity of a person, it is possible to formulate the principles of organization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.

1. The principle of responsibility for your health: only a reasonable attitude to health allows a person to long years maintain vigor, high performance, social activity and achieve longevity. And, of course, each person should understand that his health is the peace of mind of people close to him, the vitality of his future children and the strength of the country. Sick children are born with sick children. A country of frail and sick people is a country without a future. A sick person is, to one degree or another, a burden for family and others. This means that a person's health reflects his degree of responsibility to his parents, children and to the Fatherland.

So, ensuring a healthy lifestyle is possible only on condition that a person himself wants to be healthy. The opinion of L.N. Tolstoy, who paid much attention to health himself: "The demands of people who smoke, drink, overeat, do not work and turn night into day are ridiculous, that the doctor makes them healthy, despite their unhealthy lifestyle." But, as the second law of thermodynamics says, the system, left to itself, moves in the direction from order to disorder. Therefore, in order to ensure health, it is necessary that a person constantly remember in his behavior: strong and reliable health is the main condition for the implementation of the richest physical, mental, mental capabilities that nature has laid in us from birth, and a person's life expectancy can reach 120-150 years ! To be healthy or regain health requires significant efforts of your own, which cannot be replaced by anything (for example, pills). A person is so perfect that he can be restored to health from almost any state; but with the progression of the disease and with age, this will require more and more effort. As a rule, a person resorts to these efforts if he has a vital goal, motivation, which each person has his own. However, the set of such vital goals is not so great: social success, love, family, fear of death, and some others. To achieve them, a person must be able to subordinate his whims to ensuring the most expensive natural gift - health - and remember that what is missed now then it will not be possible to make up completely. Only from day to day, maintaining and strengthening his health, refusing temptations that are harmful to health, a person can maintain up to deep old age feeling of happiness and high efficiency.

2. The principle of complexity: you cannot keep health in parts. Health means the coordinated action of all systems of the body and personality, so that a change in any of them will certainly affect health in general. Therefore, you should not neglect any of the "parts" of a single health. To ensure their harmonious interaction, it is necessary to pay attention to the whole complex of circumstances that form the lifestyle of a given person. At the same time, practically all functional systems should be trained: cardiovascular, immunity, digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, etc. Influencing any of them, we through the so-called "cross-effect" achieve a positive (or negative) impact on all the others.

3. The principle of individualization due to the premise that each person is unique both in terms of biological (genotypic) and psychological and social. Therefore, each of us should have our own healthy lifestyle program, which should take into account the appropriate features.

Consideration of genotypic factors involves making adjustments to the healthy lifestyle program related to body type, metabolic features, the predominant nature of autonomic regulation, biorhythmological indicators, etc. Consequently, the construction of a healthy lifestyle should correspond to the specified circumstances in such a way as to correspond to the genetic specificity of a given person, and not to contradict it.

Accounting psychological factors is focused on such criteria as the type of temperament, extra- or introversion, etc. In this case, already in the program of a healthy lifestyle, appropriate features of the alternation of wakefulness and sleep, choice of profession, friends and future spouse, self-psychoregulation, and in general everything what no- can this person use their strengths and train their weaknesses.

Accounting social factors assumes that this person, being a member of society, belongs to a given social group, which makes certain demands on him, but, on the other hand, the person himself has certain social claims. In this case, the program of a healthy lifestyle should find a place for measures that optimize a person's relationship with others, help prevent unhealthy conflicts and equip him with methods of getting out of conflicts, etc.

Accounting for family and household status a person is determined by the fact that a given person has certain rights and obligations in his family, conditioned by the mutual relations, traditions and customs that have developed here, including the regime of the day and nutrition, raising children, distributing responsibilities, etc. Therefore, the task of rational life should be, on the one hand, as much as possible full provision functions of a person in the family as a child, spouse and parent, and on the other hand, creating conditions in the family itself that allow a person to maintain a high level of health.

Taking into account the level of culture a person assumes that the organization of his life should be determined by his life priorities, among which one of the main ones is the attitude to health. In this regard, the education of a culture of health, healthy needs and the cultivation of healthy lifestyle habits is of particular importance.

4. The principle of moderation means that moderate loads should be used to train functional systems. By "moderate" we mean those that cause an average degree of fatigue, the consequences of which, if the lifestyle is properly organized, should not last more than 24 - 36 hours. Less stress (mental, intellectual, physical), as a rule, does not contribute to the growth of the body's reserves, and more significant can lead to overwork. It should be borne in mind that the load of any system, to one degree or another, causes corresponding shifts in others, therefore bad dream, visit to the bathhouse, feeling unwell etc. should already be taken into account in the organization, for example, physical activity. Consequently, it is necessary to speak about the moderation of loads from the point of view of the organism as a whole, and not only the most loaded system.

5. The principle of rational alternation of load and rest... As noted by the Russian physiologist N.E. Vvedensky, "people get tired not because they work a lot, but because they do not work correctly."

In the living world, life is maintained by coordinating periods of activity and rest. This fully applies to almost all systems of the body and to the body as a whole. A periodic change in these states is characteristic of wakefulness and sleep, eating, performing professional duties, rest, etc. At the same time, it is important to build a way of life in such a way that the subsequent rest fully corresponds to the nature of the work performed before. Therefore, for example, after a large amount of completed intellectual work, a specially organized physical labor should follow (according to the effect of "active rest", it stimulates a more active restoration of intellectual potential) or sleep, after a hearty lunch - physical rest. Such a reasonable alternation allows the body not only to rationally spend, but also to restore its potential. Forgetting this principle gradually leads to the accumulation in the body of the consequences of underrecovery with the development of overwork. In humans, it most often manifests itself in different forms violations mental activity(neuroses).

6. The principle of rational organization of life... Since the principle of rational alternation of load and rest requires a conscious attitude of a person to the organization of his work and rest, therefore, it is necessary to learn how to work and rest correctly. If we proceed from the fact that work is understood as any load on the body, then it follows that each of its types must not only be taken into account, but also planned, then a person will be able to perform all the necessary things at the optimal time for himself and with the appropriate load intensity according to their actual priorities.

7. The principle of "today and for life"... Health is not given to a person for future use; it requires constant and persistent efforts. The examples of many athletes show that a significant part of them, after the end of active sports, which gave them a high level of functional reserves, rather quickly become "ordinary people", susceptible, like everyone else, to various ailments. It is known that the results achieved over the years in hardening almost completely disappear within a few months after the termination of hardening procedures.

8. The principle of valeological self-education... The formation of a healthy lifestyle has as its ultimate goal the improvement of living conditions and vital activity on the basis of valeological training and education, including the study of one's body and one's personality, mastering hygiene skills, knowledge of risk factors and the ability to put into practice the whole range of means and methods of ensuring a healthy lifestyle. Carrying out conscious and purposeful health-building activities, creating an environment and activity, influencing external conditions, a person acquires greater freedom and power over his own life and the circumstances of life, making life itself more fruitful, healthy and long-lasting. To achieve this, a person must first of all become a bearer of the idea of ​​health as the main life priority, this problem is the most important task of valeological education and self-education. It is on this basis of valeological education that a certain organization of human self-awareness is formed, focused on understanding the role and place various means, methods and forms of a healthy lifestyle and the ability to apply them in their life. At the same time, it is important that in each case valeological education becomes an element of the valeological culture of a particular person, and the approaches of mass medicine, which are characterized by universal, uniform norms and recommendations, are unacceptable here.

Thus, the program and organization of a healthy lifestyle for a given person should be determined by the following basic premises:

• individual typological hereditary factors;
• objective social and socio-economic conditions;
• specific circumstances of life in which family, household and professional activities are carried out;
• personal and motivational factors determined by the worldview and culture of a person and the degree of their orientation towards health and a healthy lifestyle.

Before that, she was a smoking girl who ate late in the evenings and drank a lot of coffee in the morning. At the age of 20 ...

2. More vitamins

We all need vitamin D, which is found in salmon, eggs and milk. Research has shown that many people are not getting enough vitamin C, ”says Elizabeth Politi, director of nutrition at Duke Diet & Fitness Center. Citrus fruits are a great source of vitamin C. “It's a myth that vitamin C prevents colds,” she says. “But getting the right amount of vitamin C from fruits and vegetables energizes immune system”.

Zinc is also very important for strengthening the immune system - it has antiviral and antitoxic effects. You can get it from seafood, from unrefined grains and brewer's yeast. Also, drink tomato juice - it contains a large number of vitamin A.

L-theanine is released from ordinary black tea, which is broken down by the liver to ethylamine - a substance that increases the activity of blood cells responsible for the body's immunity. It should be noted that all this applies only to high-quality varieties of tea.

6. Have fun!

Studies have shown that people with positive emotional styles are happy, calm, and enthusiastic, and less prone to colds. Fun and healthy living go hand in hand.

Cohen and researchers at Carnegie Mellon University surveyed 193 healthy person for two weeks every day and wrote down information about the positive and negative emotions they experienced. After that, they exposed the "experimental" to the viruses of the common cold and flu. Those who experienced positive emotions had fewer cold symptoms and greater resistance to disease.

7. Take up meditation

Santa Monica, a yoga therapist, believes in her meditation to improve her physical and emotional health... “Practicing meditation helps calm my nervous system and allows my immune system to function with less interference,” she says. "A calm mind is a calm body." “The biggest change is peace of mind and a sense of relief,” says Santa. - “I was very often sick when I was young. My sleep got better and it became easier for me to deal with constant stress”.

Go to the sauna once a week. What for? Because according to a study in Austria in 1990, volunteers who often went to the sauna had half the time of colds compared to those who did not go to the sauna at all.

I often walk around the house with him, but when there is no mood, walks are not canceled. Hammy will always come up with something with a trick. One day, when I didn't want to go out with him, he decided to pretend he was ill. Hammy lay in a corner, hoping that I would get him out of the cage. He did it this way several times. He also loves to bully. I put it on the table where I do my homework, and there is always candy or something sweet. He will gnaw the candy, try it. If you don’t like it, he will carefully put the piece back and cover the hole in the wrapper with something so that I don’t notice. Here is my special hamster.

NO FANS, BUT MEMORY REMAIN

My name is Dasha, I graduated from the second grade. I'll tell you one story about our dog Fan.

She was very smart and did our commands well. Once, grandmother put a piece of meat in Fanya's bowl. The dog was in the hall at that time. Grandmother approached her and, without giving any commands, simply asked Funku to come into the kitchen. Fana looked closely at her grandmother and understood everything! She also asked for a drink in a very funny way. Come and ka-a-ak will crack the bowl with his paw! Such a roar rose!

Unfortunately, we no longer have fans. Instead, now Lord. Making progress too!

GRANDFATHER DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF "HLS"

My grandmother introduced me to "healthy lifestyle". I came to her in the summer in the village, and she says: "Here I am writing out" Healthy lifestyle "-" Healthy lifestyle. " us as a friend, as a family member.

Grandfather did not believe in strength before folk recipes and laughed at us. But one day his eyes hurt. There was a burning sensation and tears flowed. My grandmother found a recipe for honey drops and lotions from calendula in “HLS”. Our grandfather was healthy the next morning! He used drops for another week. Since then, he stopped laughing at us and often leafs through the messenger.

I'm 10 years old. This year I graduated from the 4th grade, I am moving to the fifth. Every year for the whole summer I go to my grandparents in the village. There I have my own farm: rabbits, chickens. Every day I get up at 6.30 in the morning

- I feed the animals. And then I ride my bike

- this is both a walk and exercise.

I will share an incident that happened in the village. We had a goat, Zina, who lived in a shed. I often went to her, stroked. Once, about to go home, she badly closed the gate of her corral, Zina ran out of the barn. I tried to approach the goat, but she ran away from me. I began to call my grandmother, but she did not hear. And then I began to cry ... And Zina took pity on me and came up. I was delighted, said thank you to the goat, closed the gate behind her and ran home.

I WOULD BE A PIG ...

My mom loves to read the "HLS" newspaper! Even in her free time, she reads various recipes and stories! And I really like the headings "Miscellaneous" and "Creative Club". And for the last heading "Creative Club" I decided to write my own poem. I would be a pig

with a pink back, Piglet nose and ponytail

crochet, I would roll in a puddle

in the cold cold, I would have waited for the summer,

and grunt loudly!

BEER WITHOUT ALCOHOL

Non-alcoholic beer is becoming more and more popular in Germany. In 2007, its consumption increased by 7.3%.

According to the Institute for Market Problems, every third woman (36.2%) and every fifth man (20.8%) speaks unequivocally positively about it, calling this beer an ideal drink to quench your thirst.

THE LIVER DOESN'T FEEL.

Anyone who eats hamburgers, pizzas and, moreover, does not move a lot, will soon receive a “notification” from the liver. This is evidenced by the results of a study at Linköping University (Sweden).

Participants in the experiment, volunteers, ate "fast food" twice a day (sometimes more) and moved little (less than 5000 steps a day) twice a day (sometimes more) for a month. With such a diet and lifestyle, they increased their weight - in a month! - an average of 6.5 kg.

In addition, the presence of the enzyme (enzyme) alanine-aminotransferase (Alanin-Aminotransferase) increased more than 4 times in their bodies!

This potent enzyme is evidence of liver damage. Only alcoholics have it in this concentration. Scientists attribute the damage to the liver "fast food" primarily to excessive consumption of carbohydrates and saturated fatty acids. That's what Fast Food is.

NOT FOR THE MIND

It is usually believed that the loss of interest in the environment, the state of inner emptiness, exhaustion, indifference are the consequences of stress at work: they say, a person is overworked, burned out. He rests - and everything will pass.

Dr. Elisabeth Yerich from the University of Graz (Austria) in her doctoral dissertation, after many meetings with people, claims something else: the person did not burn out, but did not catch fire, he does not like this work.

Unfortunately, many do not like their work, it does not correspond to their inclinations and interests. But work doesn't like such people. LOSE WEIGHT!

If not everything is in order with hormones - lose weight! There is no other way out. From 5 to 10% of women of childbearing age suffer from the so-called polycystic ovary syndrome: there are too many male hormones in their bodies, and their ovaries are teeming with cysts.

Often such women do not have children, suffer from acne and severe body hairiness. Many of them also have excess insulin in their bodies, which often leads to obesity.

In this case, you need to lose weight! - say experts from the German Society of Endocrinology.

GREEN TEA WITH ANTIBIOTICS

Antibiotics work more effectively if the person taking them drinks regularly and green tea.

Dr. Mervat Kassem and his colleagues from the University of Alexandria (Egypt) tested the effectiveness of a combination of antibiotics and green tea against 28 infectious diseases.

As Dr. M. Ks recently stated in Edinburgh, Scotland, “at the Society for General Microbiology's annual meeting of microbiologists, green tea boosted the bactericidal (bacteria-killing) qualities of antibiotics in all 28 cases.

Even 20% of resistant, drug-resistant microbes became vulnerable again and were destroyed by broad-spectrum antibiotics from the cephaposporin group - in combination with green tea.

“How infinitely rich is he who has an image of some wormwood blade in the best corner of his soul. - said one of the writers. It is the image of the wormwood bush that has been stored in my soul since early childhood.

Our family had a cult of the forest. Father

loved and knew the forest and

often arranged for us, four children, trips to the Don forests. We walked across the steppe, made breaks, laid out lunch on the grass, and my father put aromatic seasoning on the pieces of bacon - thin ash-green leaves of wormwood ... Arriving home, we had evening tea. Everyone brewed their favorite herb: mom - oregano, sisters - thyme and mint, and I, in love with the smell of wormwood, once decided to make wormwood tea. I thought it would be very tasty, and I remember how everyone laughed merrily when I, without suspecting anything, took the first sip of the wormwood drink ...

Wormwood for me is not just grass. I feel her character, her spirit - refreshing and cleansing ...

This plant has helped me and my loved ones more than once.

One day I was scratched by a cat. Sits under the couch and looks at me with a guilty eye. The next day, the scratch near the elbow turned red, inflamed and began to hurt. What to do? I went out into the city courtyard in search of a saving sprig of wormwood, but, alas, it is nowhere to be found. Under a stone fence, a cheerful burdock is crumpled in the sun, an emerald knotweed rug is spreading under my feet, and suddenly I see a single wormwood bush glittering in the sun between two high-rise buildings, as if it is waiting for me. I apologized to him, plucked a twig, welded it and dipped my sore elbow into the hot infusion. The next day, the inflammation was gone.

After reading about Ivanchenko's troika in "HLS", I collected three components - wormwood, tansy and cloves. I rubbed dry herbs through a sieve, thus making a very fine powder, added clove powder bought in a store, weighed everything on a pharmaceutical scale strictly according to the recipe and drank this mixture for a month, washed down with water. The result was surprising: for several years I have not been sick with influenza and acute respiratory infections, herpes disappeared, which used to appear with a cold, the blood cleared, and immunity increased.

Once I fell and badly broke my knee. The wound healed slowly, the scar at the bend was hard and made it impossible to bend the leg. On the advice of my mother, I brewed wormwood and soared my leg, applying hot branches to the bruised place. The scar became soft and the next day I could walk easily and freely.

Once I come to my son and find him in a gloomy mood. The day before he stepped on a rusty nail, the foot was swollen and inflamed. I'm going to look for wormwood. Found it at the school stadium - it shines in the sun, so dear, ripped it off, brewed it. He dipped his foot into the infusion and kept it until it cooled down. I repeated it at night, and in the morning I calmly stepped on my foot ...

My friend's husband decided to quit drinking. But when he sat down at the table and his wife served him salad and various dishes for lunch, a problem arose: his reflex to a glass of vodka was activated. Says: "Well, I can't just eat such goodies!"

We poured him a glass of bitter wormwood infusion. The hand habitually took a glass, the reflex was carried out, and the sagebrush water so increased the appetite that the dinner was eaten with pleasure. So gradually this man parted with drunkenness. Consciously and painlessly. By the way, it is known that a mixture of wormwood and thyme in combination of one to three (drink 30 ml of infusion before meals) relieves alcoholism.

Once in my life there was severe stress... I could hardly endure this gloomy streak, I became weak, I did not feel well.

Together with a friend (she is a doctor), we made a wormwood cigarette with a diameter of 1 cm and a length of about 15 cm, and she warmed up the point of longevity with it (if you put your palm on your knee, this point will be approximately under the middle finger), holding the cigarette at a distance of 2 cm from points. A few days of warming up, and I felt my strength increased. It was so tangible that I was surprised. Ancient doctors used to say that when burned, wormwood releases something that “burns the disease”.

Ancient and medieval poets loved to sing healing properties herbs. Many poems were dedicated to wormwood, its beneficial effects on human health. I myself have noticed more than once that wormwood brings a refreshing and healing power into the body ... In the dictionary V. Dahl gives such popular names for wormwood as "holy tree", "divine tree", "sickness" (do not get sick!), "Vigor" , "Little man" ...

Gone is my childhood, my parents have gone to another world, and the image of a silvery wormwood bush lives in my memory and revives distant shots of my childhood: a sunny steppe, dinner on the grass, the smile of my father, who for some reason so touchingly loved wormwood.

Both the homeland and the medicine are in one stalk ...

SPURS, CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENT, SLEEP REGULATION

I walk at home along the "seashore"

I am a pensioner, 71 years old. I have lived in Siberia for 57 years and have been living on the Black Sea coast for 14 years. From the age of 40 she became interested in health-improving literature. I applied many recommendations, because I was sure that 1 g of prophylaxis is more valuable than 1 kg of treatment. After retirement, I continue to work - my health still allows. Regularly for 8 years I subscribe to the bulletin "healthy lifestyle". I read very carefully with a pencil in my hand. Sometimes I use the necessary advice, recommend it to my relatives, and give them to read this newspaper. We all wait and love her. I have never written about anything in the newspaper in 8 years, although I have a lot of useful information for my health.

She pushed me to write to the newspaper Ivacheva T.A. from Sverdlovsk with the article "The hayloft in the bedroom" in "HLS" (N 11 for 2008). I made myself a "seaside" at home and am also very pleased. Although I live on the seashore, there is not always time to walk along it. And 5-10 minutes of classes on this "bank" at home give a good effect: blood circulation in the soles of the feet improves, got rid of spurs, if done before going to bed - a good sleep. A very simple and effective invention.

She took a bag of thick soft linen fabric 60x70, filled it halfway with small pebbles from the seashore. The thickness of the rug is about 5-7 centimeters. The size of the pebbles is slightly larger than the beans, multifaceted, but so that the edges are not sharp, but blunt and rounded.

There I also added bones from dates, cherries, cherries ... and tied them. If she still recruited, she replenished it. She pushed this bag under the chair so that it would not interfere with anyone. When there is time, I take it out and begin to stomp: with my whole foot, and on the heels, and on toes, and I move between my feet, and I stand inside and outside parties Feet. At first it seems painful, but then it's so nice, and the longer you do, the more you want to stomp. Well, just fine! And most importantly - it's free! There are pebbles on any river, cherries, cherries in many gardens. Sometimes we buy dates, but for some reason we take the bones into the trash. However, other bones are also suitable. From the same olives. I gave good idea... And the desire and imagination must be shown.

In the same issue A. Marchenko (Ukraine) in the article “About mumiyo and acupressure”Worries that she does not have a horizontal bar to hang, but hangs on a horizontal plum branch in the garden. But I have the opportunity to hang on the horizontal bar in the apartment. all year round... Son attached to the walls of the doorway above human height fastening and inserted the pipe from the curtain, i.e. made a real horizontal bar, past which no one can walk, so as not to pull up or hang.

I constantly use ready-made herbal preparations companies, sometimes I reinforce them with self-harvested herbs. And I feel good. I am convinced that only nature can heal a person.

Remember: life is given to a person once. And only you are able to make yourself healthy. Therefore, arm yourself with knowledge, information. Study the unshakable laws of nature. Show perseverance, will, ruthlessness to your laziness and you will see how your life will change. Be healthy!

Always keep potato starch handy

Immediately, as soon as scalded or burnt, take potato starch, slightly moisten it with water and apply the mass to the burnt place. Starch removes temperature, prevents bubbles from appearing. There will be no trace of the burn.

The recipe is good because it is quick to prepare. I have tested it twice: once I burned my back with boiling water as a child, and another time with the sun's rays. I advise you to always have potato starch in stock, especially for young mothers.

HERPES

and then the peroxide helped out

On the pages of the newsletter, a lot is written about hydrogen peroxide. On my upper lip, in the same place, a huge blister often appears - herpes. I treat him for a long time and persistently - the result is scanty.

Once I read the next issue of "healthy lifestyle" and think: I'll try hydrogen peroxide. At small intervals throughout the day, she cauterized herpes three times with a cotton swab dipped in peroxide, held it for 10 minutes, and that's it, the herpes disappeared. Remained a shriveled crust, which I smeared a couple of times to soften with baby cream. Here is such a simple and effective treatment.

I don’t know how long the herpes disappeared. They say that the causative agent of herpes is introduced into the human body for life, periodically reminding of itself. But what if ingestion of hydrogen peroxide destroys its pathogens? Please respond if anyone has any observations on this topic. I haven’t taken peroxide inside yet.

Help

and correct

She fell ill with eczema in 1989. Was registered in the dermatovenerologic dispensary. She “turned over” the mountains of literature, experienced a lot, applied expensive ointments, drank calcium chloride. The result was, alas, insignificant. Finally I turned to a phytotherapist. She advised a recipe for collecting herbs and said which foods should be excluded from the diet.

I took her advice, the treatment went much more successful. So I decided to write about it in "healthy lifestyle".

So, what foods are bad for eczema: eggs, fatty food, meat, spicy (with pepper, seasonings), sweet (candy, chocolate), flour, salty, smoked, sour. The best food is rolled oats. Exclude from drinks: coffee, tea with various aromatic additives in bags, carbonated drinks, Coca-Cola. Give up alcohol and cigarettes.

Well, now the composition of the collection.

Violet tricolor (pansies), succession, motherwort - 3 tbsp each. spoons; yarrow, oregano - 2 tbsp. spoons; celandine, dill seeds - 1 tbsp. spoon.

Mix it all. Then 2 tbsp. pour spoons of the mixture into 1.5 cups of boiling water, leave in a thermos for 1 hour, strain. Drink half a glass 3 times a day 20 minutes before meals for 30 days. In the middle of this period - after 15 days - a 10-day break is required.

HERPES, BARLEY, BLUES, INSECT BITES

And again about the tincture of the golden mustache

I have been reading "HLS" since his birth. I use a tincture of a golden mustache. I prepare it like this: I grind 17 rings of a golden mustache and pour 0.5 liters of vodka. I insist on 21 days, shaking daily. I use this tincture from everything:

Often worried about herpes on the lips, I tried to apply a cotton swab dipped in tincture - it helped.

One day a neighbor complained about barley. I advised her to wet a cloth (20 by 5 cm) with tincture of a golden mustache for the night, squeeze it out so that it was wet, put it on closed eyelids and gave a jar of tincture. It's all gone.

Golden mustache is also good for mosquito bites. Several times (more) break the leaf across, the juice will stand out. Apply the leaf to the bites, to the wounds, everything heals well and does not itch.

Bruises quickly disappear if a tincture of a golden mustache is rubbed into the site of the injury.

I am 81 years old. In the morning I do exercises for 1-1.5 hours, in the evening I walk around the apartment - 1250 steps. Not a minute is free, except for 5-6 hours of sleep. And the mood: life is good and life is good.

The definition of what a healthy lifestyle is is quite broad. It includes a lot of interconnected moments, which together help a person to feel active, strong and happy.

Definition of the concepts of "health", "healthy lifestyle"

Health is the state of the body, all functional systems of which fully perform their functions. This phenomenon can also be described as the absence of diseases and physical defects.

It is also worth paying attention to the definition of what a healthy lifestyle is. This is human behavior aimed at strengthening the immune system, preventing diseases and forming a satisfactory state of health.

If we consider this concept from the point of view of philosophy, then this is not just the way of life of a particular person. This is a social problem. If you look at it from the perspective of psychology, then healthy lifestyle is seen as a motivation, and from a medical point of view, it is a way to improve health.

Prerequisites for the development of a healthy lifestyle concept

Among other things, it is necessary to find out exactly what prerequisites helped to define the named phenomenon. The healthy began to be especially interested in society in the 70s of the last century. This was due to the fact that the development of STP radically changed a person's life, due to which the issue of strengthening immunity and increasing life expectancy arose.

As for the present, the doctors have sounded the alarm. Given the improvement in working conditions (compared to previous centuries), the expansion of opportunities for obtaining quality food and availability enough free time, life expectancy is nevertheless constantly decreasing. This is due to the fact that people have become more passive and susceptible to harmful influences. The number of diseases is growing rapidly.

Based on the foregoing, a healthy lifestyle is important not only for a specific person, but also for society as a whole. Only those who feel good can be active and do their job well. Following helps a person become a valuable member of society.

and its components

A healthy lifestyle is a systemic phenomenon that consists of many components. These include several components:

1. Education and from early childhood (in the family and educational institutions).
2. Create safe environment, which contributes to the all-round development of the body and does not harm health.
3. Refusal of bad habits and the formation of a negative attitude towards them.
4. Fostering a food culture that involves eating healthy foods in moderation.
5. The need for regular physical activity, the intensity of which corresponds to age and general condition organism.
6. Knowledge and observance of the rules of hygiene (both personal and public).

Key aspects

It is worth noting that a healthy lifestyle has enough versatile definition... What is a healthy lifestyle can be formulated with confidence, taking into account the combination of several aspects:

1. Physical involves maintaining well-being and strengthening the body's defense mechanisms.
2. Emotional - the ability to control emotions, to adequately respond to problems.
3. Intellectual - the ability to find the information you need and use it rationally.
4. Spiritual - the ability to set life guidelines and follow them.

How a healthy lifestyle is formed

The definition of a "healthy lifestyle" is not limited to physical condition and good health. This is a multifaceted phenomenon, the formation of which occurs on several levels.

So, on the social, propaganda is carried out, which is carried out educational institutions, by means mass media and public organizations... The infrastructural level implies changes in living conditions, material and physical capabilities, carrying out preventive measures, as well as monitoring the ecological situation. And personal - a person's own motives, his life values and the organization of everyday life.

The human desire for self-improvement in the physical plane has a specific definition. What is a healthy lifestyle can be answered by listing the whole range of targeted actions that are aimed at improving the functional state of the body. If you want to follow this philosophy, start following these guidelines:

• Start exercising every morning. Physical activity allows you to activate the work of the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins from the body.
• Plan your meals to consume as many nutrients as possible. In winter and spring, when there are no seasonal fruits and vegetables, drink a complex of vitamins.
• Practice hardening that will keep you from colds and strengthens the nervous system. Start by washing your face with cool water, gradually moving on to rubbing and dousing.
• Be sure to eat protein, which is found in meat, fish, dairy and cereals. It is this substance that is responsible for the formation of the immune system.
• Nutritionists recommend consuming 5 cups of quality black tea daily. It saturates the body with theanine, which strengthens the body's protective barriers.
• Keep track of your emotional state... Protect yourself from negativity and stress. Listen to calm music, watch funny movies, admire nature.
• Take time to meditate. Even if you are not familiar with this practice, just relax for a few minutes, immerse yourself and try not to think about anything.
• Give up bad habits. Smoking and alcohol destroy the immune system. Nevertheless moderate amount high-quality alcohol, for example, on a holiday, will not harm you.
• Every day 7-8 hours should be allocated to sleep in order to fully restore the body's strength for further fruitful work. But sleeping too long is also not worth it.
• Don't forget about hygiene. Washing your hands before every meal and after visiting public places is a must.

Compliance with the daily routine

As you can already judge, a healthy lifestyle consists of many elements. Its basic concepts and definitions represent numerous components that make up the complex structure of a healthy lifestyle.
