This must be taken into account when organizing long walks with children.

Influenza is one of the most common infectious diseases. Due to the fact that the influenza virus has the ability to often change its appearance, the final victory over it has not yet been won.

But this is not the main thing. Smoking harms not only the health and appearance of a woman, it is detrimental to her unborn child.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases. There are about 11 million diabetics in our country alone. Unfortunately, there is still no way to cure this disease in the world.

Water, according to scientists, is the cradle of all life on our planet. Neither man, nor animal, nor plant can exist without water.

But the question is: without what water? Perhaps only Dr. Bombar managed to hold out at sea for about a month and a half. And as the experiments of scientists and the sad statistics of shipwrecks show, although there is plenty of water in the seas and oceans, a person still dies in the sea even if there is food on the 5-7th day.

Unfortunately, depression, a serious psychological disorder, affects most of the world's population over the years. People who suffer from latent depression tend to fight their inner demons, and it is rarely seen from the outside. Since we live in an era of superficiality towards ourselves and others, we do not always reveal our problems to others, but we tend to suppress them.

One of the most common cardiovascular ailments is, as you know, ischemic heart disease. Her serious conditions, known as acute coronary insufficiency and myocardial infarction, are by far the leading cause of death in men. And this is at the most able-bodied and fruitful age. It must be said that the disease is often very insidious: it proceeds in secret and sometimes leads to sudden death.

This, of course, is not accidental: all human experiences in our minds are associated with the heart. The heart is different: both kind and gentle, loving and sensitive. It is fiery, indomitable, easy-going. The heart can “bleed” from grief, “skip” from an unexpected meeting, “freeze” from happiness or love, “jump” from joy. And when we are angry, we can utter a bunch of unpleasant words "in our hearts" or commit rash acts.

There is almost always not enough time: to go to the cinema, to properly prepare for the exam, to visit relatives ... And we try to save it. Most often - at the expense of sleep, considering the hours given to him as an unproductive waste of time. But nature cannot be deceived: sleep either overcomes us, or leaves us. So is it worth fighting sleep? How harmful are attempts to break his laws to health? How much and how should a person sleep?

"Sleepless" was the name of our ancestors one of the twelve feverish sisters who can cause many diseases. “The sisters, evil, thin, ugly and simple-haired, walk at night in bast shoes with sticks, knock on the window with a stick, whoever responds to their knock, they will stick to that. Each has its own taste, each of them endures forever this or that suffering. One shivers from the cold, the other tosses about in the heat, the third writhes with aching bones. Attacking a person, they make him suffer with them. One beats off food, the other drives sleep, the third sucks blood, the fourth pulls the veins ... Their names are: Lomikha, Ognikha, Tryasovikha, Zheltyanitsa, Gorchikha, Bessonikha. "

How often do we use expressions such as “heart snapped” - about a sudden feeling of fright, or “relieved from the heart” - when relief from anxiety comes.

Indigestion can be associated with infection, micronutrient deficiencies, and impaired gastric juice production.

Healthy foods help restore digestion, relieve irritation of the mucous membranes and prevent diarrhea.

Gastritis (from Greek "Gastir" - stomach) is an acute or chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa. But the teachings of I.P.
