VIVA LA RESISTANCE
Praise out loud.
It is obvious to you that since you are there, your partner is the best for you. He - would not mind if you sometimes reminded him of this. Of course, actions are more important than words, but a good compliment, tender recognition or praise are not superfluous.

The man does not know how to admit his guilt.
He is always right. Fight to the last! Never apologizes. If the dispute has reached an impasse, he may be silent for a week, but does not admit that he is to blame. Familiar? Avoid men who do not know how to admit their guilt, because the one who is always right and not guilty of anything will make you a scapegoat. You will correct his mistakes and all responsibility will fall on you, because he is perfection! Roughly speaking, he would rather set you up than stand up to his full height and say: "I made a mistake, I'll fix it." Nobody is always right. And to allow yourself to make mistakes and apologize, in fact, means to gain the freedom to be yourself. Are you able to admit guilt? What about your partner?

Speak the other's language.
A simple truth: people are more likely to trust those who are similar to them, whom they can understand. So your task is to adapt to your interlocutor. She quotes the greats? Try to remember a couple of them too. He jokes? You also need to show your sense of humor. This rule applies to non-verbal communication as well. If the person is actively gesticulating, then you need to be lively and open-minded. If he/she chooses closed postures, you should be more restrained. This method also works in a group. You just need to find out the manner of communication appreciated by the particular audience.

Healthy selfishness is a prerequisite for inner comfort.
If we care too much about others, it turns into a problem. By constantly giving in and considering our inner self to be less valuable than others', we erase our personal boundaries and concentrate completely on the needs of others. Swallow resentment and give in, or say "no, that won't do!" and allow ourselves to be HAPPY. Always trying to be "good" is pointless. Sooner or later something can go wrong and you will be certainly blamed and criticized. Living only for someone, you have to ignore your own desires and needs. Remember: sacrificing yourself for others is your own decision.

Is anger physically addictive?
It happens quite often. During an outburst of rage, ADRENALIN is released into the bloodstream. This hormone energizes us and dulls our pain. The pleasure of such a release when you get angry is about the same as during a parachute jump. A person seeks this state to relieve stress or to overcome negative thoughts. Usually, having expressed his/her anger, he/she feels great, while his/her victims are completely destroyed.

How much garbage did people leave on Mars?
Chagri Kilic, a robotics researcher at West Virginia University, has calculated that over 50 years of exploring the surface of Mars, humans have left 7,119 kilograms of debris on the planet. Kilich calculated in kilograms the mass of all spacecraft ever sent to the Red Planet and subtracted the weight of the still working - 9979 - 2860 = 7119. In total, there are three main types of debris on Mars - discarded equipment (for example, containment shells of spacecraft), inactive or broken devices.

Climate warming has accelerated the decomposition of wood by termites.
Biologists have estimated the rate at which termites decompose dead wood in different climates and found that the insects became more active by more than 6.5 times for every 10 degrees Celsius increase in temperature. This means that as termites warm up, they will play an increasingly important role in the carbon cycle, and their populations will spread around the world.

Four-dimensional ultrasound has proven that people react to taste and smell even in the womb.
The study involved a hundred women at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy. On the day of the study, the women were not allowed to eat or drink flavored beverages before visiting the doctor. 20 minutes before the scan, they received a capsule of carrot or cabbage powder. After that, doctors took pictures of the facial expressions of as yet unborn children. Scientists believe that the mother's diet during pregnancy can affect the taste preferences of children. Also, the right diet of a woman is able to form healthy eating habits for a child.

iPhone 14 proved to be more repairable than five previous models.
iFixit dismantled the new Apple flagship and was pleasantly surprised - the design of the phone implies an easier repair. In particular, you can easily remove not only the front of the smartphone with a display, but also the rear glass. This has never happened in the modern history of Apple - now you can approach the replacement of the necessary parts from two sides.

Tea Tulsi sleep.
What is this tea and what is special about it? Tulasi is a sacred basil that grows in India. Why sacred? Because of its religious significance in Indian culture. In Ayurveda, this plant is called the "queen of herbs". Tulsi tea is actively used in traditional Indian medicine as an adaptogen. It is known that the natural substances contained in the composition of the herb help the body adapt to various stress factors. Namely, in Tulsi sleep tea, basil is combined with brahmi, ashwagandha and shankhapushpi (known for their healing effect on the nervous system), mint, chamomile (relaxing and calming effect) and cardamom. For me, this tea many years ago became a real discovery and a lifeline in the fight against insomnia. Very, very, very recommend.

How to work the inside of the forearms.
Sometimes, shaking our hands, we fail to work out the inside. But she just betrays us with giblets when she begins to sag, a dull sight. I found a cool and easy triceps exercise (you can do it at home) from trainer and nutritionist Bebe Arrington. You will need: a rug, one dumbbell or any other weighted object and your attitude (perhaps this is the main thing). 1. Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor. 2. Take a dumbbell in two hands and stretch your arms towards the ceiling. 3. Bend your elbows, lowering the weight to your forehead. 4. Stretch your arm back up towards the ceiling. 5. Do 3 sets of 8-10 reps. The main thing is that the weight of the dumbbell should not be too light, but not too heavy either.

About meditation.
3. Reduces the intensity of pain (and the frequency of migraines). Of course, meditation can hardly replace traditional medicine, but it is well established that people who meditate are less likely to get sick in principle - and almost never suffer from migraines. 4. Meditation slows down the rate of aging. Yes, no more, no less. Stress reduces the length of telomeres (these are protective regions on chromosomes). And meditation prolongs their lives—and ours, too. People who constantly meditate look smiling, benevolent and young 5. Meditation allows you to accept your own and others' imperfections. Oh, how much criticism could have been avoided, how many conflicts would not have even started if people had the ability to accept themselves and reality without distortion. Meditation helps to get closer to this state.

About meditation.
Here is what was found out in the course of scientific experiments. The results were presented by Emma Seppala, who observed thousands of people, measuring their condition before and after meditation. 1. Meditation increases the overall positivity of character and reduces the number of negative traits of nature. Of course, this affects the general outlook and quality of human life. 2. Meditation increases empathy and enhances the sense of social connection. That is, it seems as if a person withdraws into himself for a while, but in fact he begins to understand other people better.

Myth 5. The dosage of collagen is the same for everyone.
Many people believe that it doesn’t really matter how much collagen you drink per day, the main thing is to continue taking them constantly. But before you buy dietary supplements, it is important to understand what your goal is. For example, if you only want to maintain skin elasticity, you will need a little collagen, and if you plan to smooth wrinkles, you need to increase the dosage. A person may need 2.5 to 15 grams of collagen per day. The lower value is the prophylactic dose. It is increased if a person is injured or injured. Scientists conducted a study to find out if taking collagen helps improve skin condition. For this, women aged 35–55 years old took 2.5–5 g of collagen once a day. After four weeks, experts noted a significant increase in skin firmness compared to the placebo group.

Myth 4. Collagen should be selected according to your needs.
Inside the body, there are several types of collagen, and each is responsible for different things: one maintains the elasticity of the skin, another - the health of cartilage, the third - the strength of muscles and ligaments. Because of this, confusion arises: it seems that only a certain type of collagen will help strengthen joints, and another will not work. In fact, this is not the case: the supplements contain processed hydrolyzed collagen, which has the basic properties of all types. This means that when taking a supplement with hydrolyzed - split into peptides - collagen, the body will receive an ideal building material. And he will direct you where you need to: to restore the skin, joints or ligaments.

Myth 3. Liquid collagen is better absorbed.
Some have heard that if collagen is taken, it is better that it be liquid. It is believed that this form is easier to digest and absorb, unlike tablets, which must first dissolve. And liquid collagen is much easier to add to smoothies than a pill. It really doesn't matter what kind of collagen you drink: in tablets, powder or liquid form. The main thing is what composition it has. Pay attention to the packaging: if it says “peptides” or “hydrolyzed”, then the collagen has already been split into an easily digestible form. Collagen peptides are absorbed quickly - after six hours they can be found in human blood and tissues of the whole body.
