Aging - a strange process.So strange that it is often difficult for us to believe it.Only when we see what effect time has had on our peers, we have, as in a mirror, seeing what it did to us.After all, in their own eyes, we are still young.We have the same hopes and fears as a young man.Our mind is still the living, and our forces did not seem to have dried up.We conduct an experiment: "Will I be able to climb that hill as fast as I did as a young?Yes, I'm a little choked when he reached the top, but I have spent much time, and most of all, I was panting a little earlier.

Yulia board "AIF": Larisa, what is old age?Wrinkles or infirmity?
Larisa Marchenkova: In my opinion endocrinologist, old age begins with weight gain, and not uniform, and when fat deposits accumulate mainly in the abdomen and internal organs.This type of obesity - a risk of almost all the diseases that we associate with aging: hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and others.

- That is, the less you eat, the longer it will live?
- More precise - less caloric intake.In scientific studies have proved that life expectancy is inversely proportional to the number of calories consumed.In the US, the average caloric intake - 3700 calories daily.In Japan, it is below 27% and life expectancy greater for 4-5 years.How to reduce the calorie content?Limit simple carbohydrates - sugar, white flour products, sweets, cakes.Plus, reduce the consumption of animal fats - to eliminate the sour cream, mayonnaise, sausages and so on. D. And be sure to use low-fat dairy products (source of calcium, bone health).Try to include a diet of more local, seasonal fruits and vegetables, fish.

D. The programs rehabilitation and prevention of age-related diseases, the restoration of healthy sleep, physical therapy.As Coco Chanelsaid, nice to grow old - it is art.But he can learn!

Good or bad egg?If harmful, how?Is there a relationship between the intake of a large number of eggs and heart disease?What is cholesterol and how much of it is in the eggs?Finally, it often kills people today and how to avoid it?All these issues will be discussed in today's issue of extreme self-improvement blog fit4life.RU.My name is Denis Borisov.This means that after reviewing this material, you will become an expert in the "Egg crisis."So...
USE eggs NUTRITION
For the formation of a holistic understanding of the issue, let's start with the general and move to private.The most heated debate over eggs associated with the two opposites of views:
Eggs are useful (for protein)
eggs are harmful (because of the large quantity of the cholesterol)
Let us examine first the first opinion.What are the benefits of protein from chicken eggs?
First of all nutritive and price.The fact that the egg protein - the most profitable source of protein for us in terms of price and quality.
On the one hand, the egg white contains a very high-quality selection of amino acids necessary for muscle growth.It is generally characteristic of all products of animal origin.But the egg white stands out in the list of natural sources of animal protein because the egg protein is taken as a reference biological value for humans because of its optimal amino acid composition.Thus, the value of egg protein much as possible for natural products and is equal to 100 units.All other products, which will be able to throw in its utrobku will have less biological value protein (for example: meat 80-88 units. Milk and cheese - 85-86 units).
How would you like to end up like this man? Old, using a walker, eating junk at some fast food place instead of having a healthy meal prepared for him. He’ll die alone and afraid in some cold dark room while orderlies gamble with his pocket money. This is the reality for millions of older people around the country.
But, every so often, a person realizes what the end will be like for them and comes to terms with the concept of dying with dignity.
One such friend of mine decided to beat the grim reaper and recently sent me an email-
“I have already informed my family that I will not be able to afford an expensive nursing home, which would allow me to die with dignity. Therefore, I have moved to Central America, where the dollar still goes a long way and I can spend what little money I still have left during my final years enjoying life and dying with dignity!
It's not too late to reverse your worst habits (stopping smoking, drinking, over-eating, and more) and immediately start living a happier, healthier life.
1. Bad Habit: Snacking non-stop, even when not hungry.
Why It's Dangerous: Losing touch with your body's natural hunger and satisfaction signals can lead to chronic overeating and unhealthy extra pounds that can lead to diabetes, heart disease, and other serious conditions. If it's junk foods you snack on, you're also flooding your body with unhealthy ingredients.
Why You Should Stop: With determination, anyone can fix bad eating habits, and get to a healthier, more natural weight. By paying attention to your hunger signals and switching to healthy snacks, you can boost nutrition, control cravings, lose weight, and avoid energy slumps. Your weight will fall to a healthier level, and you'll replace unhealthy trans and saturated fat, sugar, refined carbohydrates, and extra sodium with more nutritious fare.
Reverse the Habit:
- Reacquaint yourself with hunger: Wait to eat until your body is physically craving food.
- Stop eating before you're stuffed: Finish when you feel just a little bit full, you'lleat less this way.
- Eat for the right reason: Because you're hungry—not because you're stressed, bored, angry, or sad.
- Stop mindless eating: If snacking is an old, bad habit, ban unhealthy food from your home.
- Replace junk food with real food: Once you've cleared your pantry, stock your kitchen with fruits, veggies, nuts, and low-fat, whole-grain products.

2. Bad Habit: Spending too much time on the couch watching TV.
Why It's Dangerous: The more TV you watch, the less physical activity you're getting, increasing your odds of being overweight and developing type 2 diabetes. A large-scale study of over 9000 people found that those who watched more than two hours of TV a day ate more, while downing more sugary soft drinks and high-fat, high-calorie, processed snack foods than those who watched less. If television is replacing time you'd spend on an old hobby, visiting friends, or exercising your mind, it can also speed up memory loss.

Holiday Overeating: how much damage you can inflict her figure in a single day
Any woman taking care of her figure, feared the consequences of a celebratory binge or "casual" violation of the diet.

Becoming a pilot for the US Air Force was a childhood dream of Larry Walters. While he never achieved that goal due to poor eyesight, Larry never gave up his dream of flying. When he was 13, some weather balloons he saw hanging in a military surplus store gave him an idea: “What if I could fly with balloons?” 20 years later, he finally decided togive it a go.
In July of 1982, Larry bought 45 eight-foot weather balloons and ahandful of helium tanks. In the backyard of his home in Los Angeles, he then tied the balloons to an aluminum lawn chair fitted with water jugs for ballast. He filled the balloons with helium, put on a parachute and strapped himself in. He also grabbed his pellet gun, a CB radio, and a few sandwiches. His idea was to reach an altitude of 300 feet, fly east toward the Rocky Mountains and then shoot the balloons with his pellet gun to control his descent.
As soon as Larry cut loose his makeshift craft – which he namedInspiration I – he ascended far more rapidly than he had anticipated. He shot up to an altitude of 15,000 feet and drifted into the main airspace for Long Beach Airport. He was afraid that if he shot the balloons he’d lose his balance and fall out of the chair. He used his CB to make a mayday call to the authorities. Larry tried to remain calm, knowing that he’d either fall to his death, be hit and killed by a commercial jet, or be arrested upon landing.

As a result the majority of heart disease in the absence of treatment becomes chronic heart failure (CHF).This is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood in sufficient amounts, whereby the organs and tissues lack of oxygen and nutrients.
The most obvious symptoms of heart failure are shortness of breath and swelling.Shortness of breath occurs due to the stagnation of blood in the pulmonary vessels and increased demand for oxygen.Swelling emerge from the stagnation of blood in the venous line.
CHF develops gradually, so there are several stages of the disease.There are different principles of division at the stage of heart failure, one of the most convenient and intuitive classifications developed by the New York Heart Association.It is divided into four functional classes of patients with chronic heart failure:
FC I - the patient does not experience limitations in physical activity.Conventional load does not provoke weakness (nausea),palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.
FC II - moderate limitation of physical activity.The patient feels comfortable at rest, but the implementation of the common physical activities causes weakness (lightheadedness), palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.
FC III - marked limitation of physical activity.The patient feels comfortable only at rest, but less than usual, exercise leads to the development of weakness (nausea), palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain.
FC IV - failure to comply with any load without causing discomfort.Symptoms of heart failure syndrome or angina can occur at rest.When the minimum load is growing discomfort.
What is chronic heart failure?
Condition of chronic heart failure occurs when the heart ceases to adequately supply the tissues and organs with blood, and hence of oxygen and nutrients.
Why it happens?
In chronic disease the heart muscle (myocardium) is not able to develop a proper effort to expel blood from the left ventricle.The reasons for such violations can be associated with lesions of the myocardium, the aorta (the main artery that goes directly to the heart) and the heart valves.
Heart failure is a condition referred to as the organism in which the heart for some reason loses the ability to provide all organs and tissues of the necessary amount of blood.Today, heart failure is common and most often seen in women.
The classification of heart failure
The speed of development identified two forms:
Acute heart failure - is developing very rapidly (from a few minutes to several hours).It manifested in the form of pulmonary edema, cardiac asthma, and cardiogenic shock.The main causes of acute heart failure is myocardial infarction, left ventricular wall rupture, acute aortic and mitral valves.
Chronic heart failure - the formation of pathology is gradually growing for weeks, months or even years).The causes of chronic heart failure can serve as diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, chronic respiratory failure, prolonged anemia.Today, there are two classifications of chronic heart failure.The first classification was proposed in 1935.According to this classification, chronic heart failure is divided into three stages.The first stage is characterized by virtually asymptomatic, and patients with third stage will be serious disruptions to the cardiovascular system.The most popular today has got the classification proposed by American cardiologist.
There are four classes: 1 class. The patient appears short of breath when climbing the stairs to the third floor level and above.Physical activity is normal. Class 2. Dyspnea is manifested in the rise to the first floor and when walking fast.There has been a slight decrease in physical activity.When the load is usually begin to appear symptoms of heart failure. 3 class. The manifestation of congestive heart failure evident occurs at small loads and even while walking.At rest the symptoms of heart failure are lost. Grade 4. Symptoms of heart failure are identified in the rest, and a slight increase in load leads to serious violations of the cardiovascular system.
Chronic heart failure is by far one of the most frequent complications associated with problems in the cardiovascular system.
