Why should you try aerial yoga?

Anti-gravity is also called aerial yoga. This is a detachment from the earth, which allows you to disconnect from the outside world, put yourself in unusual conditions and get out of your comfort zone. Aerial yoga was founded by choreographer Christopher Harrison in 1991, he created hammocks for performances and training of aerial gymnasts, and then he realized that such tricks in the air can be useful for everyone.

Examples of adaptogens.

For example, licorice root helps our adrenal glands deal with the onslaught of stress by supporting the release of cortisol and making our body more receptive to it. Ashwagandha, a well-known Ayurvedic herb commonly prescribed to help the body cope with mental stress, has the side effect of balancing thyroid hormones. Schisandra berries not only help build stamina, but also support and protect our liver from toxins that inevitably enter the body (for example, pesticides). Mushrooms. They are in trend now. For example, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Chaga, which are more commonly found in supplement form due to their woody taste, are also considered powerful adaptogens to help us fight stress and balance hormones.

Let's talk about adaptogens today.

Do you know what it is? The concept of adaptogens has been on the market since the days of spirulina. Remember, at one time everyone was obsessed with it? The word adaptogen (Adaptogen) comes from the Latin word Adaptare, which means to adapt or adapt. The name accurately explains their action: they help our body adapt to the various physical, chemical and environmental stressors that we inevitably encounter on a daily basis. And any stress, even the smallest one, provokes the release of hormones. Adaptogens have the ability to regulate the stress hormones produced by our adrenal glands and the functioning of the immune system.

Summer is a season of increased risk of infectious diseases, “diseases of dirty hands”

But, fortunately, there are wet wipes in the world. However, you need to be careful with antibacterial wipes. • Antiseptics based on triclosan and benzalkonium chloride tend to accumulate in the skin and, accordingly, become addictive to bacteria. • Antiseptics based on oil and alcohol do not absorb into the skin and do not accumulate in it, but evaporate quickly and have a short-term effect. In addition, alcohol dries out the skin. • Gel-based wipes last longer than alcohol wipes, retain a long-lasting effect, but are sticky. • Chlorhexidine can be considered a good antibacterial substance in wipes, although its antibacterial effect against fungi and mycobacteria is much weaker than alcohol. Read the ingredients on the packages and be healthy!

Good news for those who do not have enough time for sports.

Housework is also a sport! And even there is such a term - NEAT (indicator of non-training activity). It includes everything that we do during the day (except training) - we move around the house, wash dishes, go to work, communicate, gesticulate, warm our body, and so on. This indicator is difficult to measure, but for sure you have met people who have an "awl" in some place. They are constantly moving, making a bunch of “extra” movements, walking back and forth, actively gesticulating, violently experiencing any event, constantly finding work around the house, and so on. These are the people with high NEAT.

Who is Yoga 23 suitable for?

What are the pros and cons of this direction? The undoubted advantage is that the emphasis is on an individual approach in the selection of exercises, you can start exercising with any level of training, there are therapeutic programs for recovering from illness, injuries and operations. And also there are very difficult levels for lovers of advanced practices. The downside, perhaps, is that if you are looking for a deep religious and philosophical content set forth in the ancient treatises on yoga, then, alas, this is not here. It has its own philosophical concept, consisting of various theories of physics, linguistic genetics, knowledge about the energy-information space and torsion fields.

Is it effective to treat a wound with peroxide?

In short: NO. Only a 30% peroxide solution will have a real disinfecting effect, and not the 3% that is sold in a pharmacy. However, a chemical burn does not last long from a 30% peroxide solution. Which we absolutely do not need. Peroxide is useful only for the mechanical treatment of wounds from dirt and dust, but with the same success it can be treated with ordinary running water. And if the wound is deep, then it can be harmful: oxygen, which is released by peroxide, can enter the vessels and close the bloodstream.
