VIVA LA RESISTANCE
Leela game.
In general, Lila came to us from India. This game is over 2000 years old. Initially, it was an amusement of the Maharajas, with the help of which the rulers could look into themselves and find answers to questions. There is a lot of demand for this game right now. This is understandable - people want stability and understanding. It is believed that Lila appears in your life exactly when you need it. In the game, the guide, the leader, is very important. To get into the game, you need a request. Not any, namely the one that the game will accept, that is, the true one. I need to realize why I play, what I want to get answers to. And here lies the main trick of our mind. It seems to us that we are asking exactly the question that is really important to us, and then it turns out that these are all machinations of consciousness, and our soul and heart want something completely different.

October 10 was World Mental Health Day. Continuation.
2. Make a list of what you have ALREADY done and praise yourself for it. I'm sure we always have something to praise ourselves and pat on the head for. 3. Morning routine is extremely important. It is not necessary to immediately run out of bed to meditate or do “downward-facing dog”. If you're not ready for this yet, you can just make your bed, do a short exercise, apply your favorite face mask, and drink warm water. And just smile at the new day. 4. Take care of those around you: family, friends, work colleagues, or even just random people who need help. Self-giving and love work wonders.

October 10 was World Mental Health Day.
In general, stable mental health is what we all urgently need now. I am sharing with you absolutely simple, but useful life hacks that can do absolutely anything and that really work, despite their apparent simplicity. 1. Get up early. Who gets up early, you know what. Of course, it all depends on what time you go to bed. Ideally, you should fall asleep before 11 pm. And then there will be a quality sleep, and early rises invigorating, and not as if the skating rink has run over you. I noticed on my own: it’s worth sleeping off on the weekend - that’s it, the energy is at zero and the mood too.

Why is MCT oil unique and useful?
- Unlike other fats, MCT goes directly to the liver, and is not deposited in adipose tissue, - It activates the brain - Increases the feeling of satiety. MCT fats have been shown to increase the release of satiety hormones leptin and peptide YY more effectively than conventional long chain oils. This helps keep you feeling full longer and avoid unnecessary snacking. - It is not deposited in the form of fat deposits. Usually the body uses it immediately for energy production, - Normalizes bowel function, - Increases performance - Increases energy potential and improves mood. This makes it possible to avoid overeating on a nervous basis or simply out of boredom. But it's important to understand that MCTs are not a magic weight loss pill. It works only in conjunction with proper keto nutrition and active sports.

What is MCT oil and how does it help you lose weight?
So, if it’s difficult to say, then MCT oil or MCFA (medium-chain fatty acids) are medium-chain triglycerides, which, unlike long-chain fats, are absorbed more easily, since the body needs less effort to break carbon bonds. MCTs are quickly transported to the liver, where they are broken down into ketones and distributed in the bloodstream, providing the body with an almost instant energy boost. Simply put, it is the quintessence of traditional coconut oil, as MCTs are extracted from coconuts.

Causes and nature of headaches.
6. Neuralgia. This is the name of a condition when a headache is not associated with a violation of the outflow and inflow of blood, but with an overstrain of nerve endings. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for the sensitivity of the face and, first of all, pain. When there is an attack of pain associated with the trigeminal nerve, it seems that an electric current is passed through half of the face or all the teeth are removed at once “on the live”. Attacks last from a few seconds to 1-2 minutes, they can be either 1-2 per day, or several dozen. Any little thing can provoke pain - touching the face, chewing, brushing your teeth.

Causes and nature of headaches.
5. Migraine. Unfortunately, migraine in 60-70% of patients is hereditary. It manifests itself more often as unilateral seizures. In this case, during attacks, the sides of pain may alternate. Often this is a pain of a throbbing nature, which is combined with neurological signs (fear of light and loud sounds), nausea, vomiting, sweating. Migraines are typically triggered by triggers such as emotional stress and weather changes.

Causes and nature of headaches.
4. Low or high blood pressure. I want to note right away that a headache does not always mean a change in blood pressure. Very often, patients only find out they are living with high blood pressure when they visit a doctor. A drop in blood pressure "hypotonics" can feel like a general weakness, loss of strength, drowsiness. However, vasospasm with a drop in pressure or their expansion with an increase in pressure can lead to a headache, since any vessel is entwined with a nerve. Headache with a decrease in blood pressure is felt as squeezing in the temples, in the eyes, in the forehead, accompanied by cold hands and feet and a desire to sleep. With an increase in blood pressure, it is a sharp, throbbing pain.

Causes and nature of headaches.
3. Sinusitis or chronic sinusitis. Pain in sinusitis or exacerbation of chronic sinusitis has a slightly different character. It is more like a "dull" pain in the face and skull, increasing sharply when the head is tilted forward or backward, as well as when lying down.

Causes and nature of headaches.
2. Bruxism. Often the headache is accompanied by bruxism - the tension of the masticatory muscles. Constantly (more often at night) clenched jaws cause tension in all the muscles of the neck and upper thoracic region, which also leads to a decrease in blood flow to the head. A “vicious circle” mechanism is formed: emotional stress leads to repetitive muscle tension, as a result, the muscles go into chronic spasm, signaling the brain about their tension.

Causes and nature of headaches.
1. Chronic stress. Actual problem, agree? One of the manifestations of stress is osteochondrosis or spasm. The pain is often localized in the back of the head, where the neck meets the skull. It is characterized by a feeling of squeezing or tightening of the head, as if with a "hoop". Attention, working capacity decreases, memory worsens. Such a headache occurs after emotional stress or physical exertion, lasts all day and intensifies in the evening.
