PRINCIPLES OF RESPONSIBLE COSMETOLOGY

• Law and order are the guarantors of quality and safety. The state makes serious demands on aesthetic medicine clinics. Why is it important to know and follow them. How associations help aesthetic medicine.

• Doctor and patient – partnership and trust. Only a qualified specialist can provide a safe procedure. How to check the reliability of the drug. Why is it important to follow your doctor’s instructions?

• The patient has a right to know. Social networks disseminate implausible and unverifiable information – how a patient can understand the vast sea of ​​offers and choose the right and honest clinic. How not to fall for a scammer. What documents the patient can ask in the clinic. Why do you need to carefully read the contracts and informed consents?

• Beauty as the basis of health. Healthy people come to the clinic who want to improve their appearance and become a little happier. Responsibility for one’s health should be at the heart of the choice.

About the benefits of yoga

 

Yoga is a system of physical and spiritual practices that has come to us from time immemorial. The first mentions of yoga are contained in treatises that are more than 5000 years old. In ancient times, yoga was practiced in order to achieve a state of spiritual awakening – samadhi. Nowadays, yoga is considered as a universal system that helps to develop flexibility, strengthen bones and muscles, and also solve some health problems. Why are more and more people choosing yoga and not some other health system? One sentence can answer this question like this: 

Unlike game and competitive sports, yoga is aimed solely at improving the body and spirit. A yogi (this is the name of a person who practices yoga) does not compare his achievements with the successes of other people, does not seek to set a record, does not set standards and limits for himself. He has his own path, and he follows this path at his own pace. Keep this in mind when you do the exercises. Focus solely on your feelings and do not look at others. In yoga, the main thing is regularity and the right state of mind. Everything comes with practice. Do not chase records, especially if you are just starting out. Over time, your body will improve, and complex asanas will become available to you. 

Yoga is the path to a perfect mind

In addition to physical exercises, yoga includes work with consciousness. Many people believe that philosophy and mental training have nothing to do with physiology. 

In fact, when the mind becomes harmonious and orderly, all body systems begin to work correctly and in harmony. Moreover, the external life of a person also changes, he becomes healthy in all respects. After all, what is health? Here is the definition of this word given by WHO – World Health Organization: 

Yoga gives not only bodily harmony, flexibility, and freedom of movement. In the yoga system, there are a huge number of methods that allow you to gain complete control over your mental and spiritual state. In addition, yoga helps to solve problems related to the social life of a person. Work, personal life, relationships with friends and colleagues – all this comes into harmony as a person acquires a healthy outlook on things. 

Yoga for a better quality of life

Many people who start practicing yoga seriously and thoughtfully soon notice that all aspects of their lives are changing for the better. Work begins to bring satisfaction, money and free time appear, relationships with people improve. And it is no coincidence. 

Yoga not only solves health problems but also relieves pain and gives energy. It helps clear the mind of all negative thoughts, anxieties, and fears. A person begins to feel good not only physically, but also mentally. He is calm, always positive, and friendly. He understands the causes and consequences of his own and other people’s actions, and therefore always makes the most rational and healthy choice. He is aware of the nature of his desires and sets himself the goals that he really needs for personal growth and fulfilling life. He refuses the delusions and stereotypes that control people and makes his own choice. As you know, like attracts like – and the social circle of such a person includes people who are just as well aware of themselves. Thus, yoga helps a person to create his own world, in which everything is positive, prosperous, and harmonious. 

Of course, this does not happen immediately. But you can take the first step on this path today by starting yoga. 

How yoga helps you achieve your goals

In life, people face a lot of difficulties. Sometimes even the simplest things require a lot of time and effort. Only a few are able to set the right goals and achieve them in the most effective and economical way. And it’s not about special intellectual abilities or a happy coincidence. The secret is in the full concentration of attention on the task at hand. This is something that is inaccessible to most people due to the fact that they have never been taught this. 

Yoga can help solve this problem. Yogic practices were originally aimed at ensuring that a person striving for spiritual perfection could concentrate his attention. For centuries, special postures and exercises have been perfected, which helped to purify the mind, helped to gather thoughts together. All asanas are designed to ensure that a person focuses his attention exclusively on what his body is doing. A person is removed from life’s problems and stresses. Anxious thoughts about the future go away, and a person begins to live in the current moment, is here and now. 

Any yogic practice not only energizes the body, but also “refreshes” feelings and thoughts. A person with a clear mind finds new ways to solve problems, it is easier for him to focus on what he is doing. When you start practicing yoga, you will soon notice that not only your body, but also your current affairs are returning to normal. All this is the result of the practice of concentration.

How to start building a healthy lifestyle?

 

Are you on your way to a healthy lifestyle but don’t know where to start? Then you are right to us! In our blog we will tell you how to create a healthy lifestyle. We will definitely analyze how to eat right, when and how much to exercise, what determines the success of losing weight, and what other principles underlie a healthy lifestyle.

Including healthy foods in your diet

One of the main factors in the formation of a healthy lifestyle is the choice of healthy products. Knowing a little more about foods than just the name on the label, looking at their composition, energy value and macronutrient content, we can understand what benefits they bring to our body.

We recommend adding fish to your diet. There is no doubt that it is very healthy, loaded with important nutrients such as protein, vitamin D, and may even help promote brain health! 

3 reasons why you should add fish to your diet:

  1. Eating oily fish may reduce your risk of heart disease , help fight inflammation, and improve brain function because it’s high in “good” fats like omega-3s.
  2. Fish is an excellent source of protein, essential for building and repairing body tissues, including skin, hair, nails, and muscles.
  3. Whitefish and shellfish, in particular, are lower in fat than other animal protein sources, making them an ideal choice if you’re on a weight loss diet. And besides, fish is digested 1.5 – 2 times faster than meat.
  4. Which fish to choose and how to cook?

    Salmon, silver carp, whitefish, halibut, sturgeon, and others are considered the fattest, and therefore one of the most useful and delicious varieties of fish.
    There are so many options that by changing the variety and method of preparation, you can significantly diversify your diet, which is important for the body. 

    Many refuse to eat fish, believing that it is very difficult to cook. But this is a common myth! There are many recipes, not only tasty and healthy but also quick to prepare. For example, with our recipes from the nutrition section, you can cook flounder or salmon in a honey and soy marinade in just 15 minutes. 

  5. We hope that we convinced you, and today for dinner you will cook fish according to one of our recipes. And this will be your first step in the formation of a healthy lifestyle.

Ten quick and healthy breakfasts that will not get better

 

What do you do when you don’t have time to cook breakfast in the morning? Or you don’t feel like eating at all, and even the common truth that you have to eat breakfast yourself and give dinner to the enemy doesn’t inspire you?!
There are many reasons to skip your morning meal. But the result is the same – instead of preparing and eating a quick and tasty breakfast from simple products, you again leave the house with an empty stomach. Meanwhile, nutritionists-nutritionists categorically declare that breakfast is a must.

 

Why breakfast is so important

Breakfast prepares your body for the day ahead. What you ate in the morning, such will be the return.
From a cup of coffee with a croissant, you will get an instant boost of energy. But after an hour you will feel hungry – simple carbohydrates quickly saturate with energy, but just as quickly and end their action.

Do not eat anything – even sadder. In the stomach, discomfort and even cramps may occur due to hydrochloric acid, which contains gastric juice.
Acid breaks down food, and if there is nothing to break down, it can damage the walls of the stomach. Lack of food disrupts intestinal motility – this provokes such troubles as bloating, dysbacteriosis and constipation.

The best option is a healthy, proper breakfast according to simple and tasty recipes. Your body will receive proteins, slow carbohydrates, healthy fats – in a word, everything it needs for normal life.

Proper breakfast – what is it

  • The morning meal should be nutritious so that the body receives the energy necessary for activity, at least 20-25% of the daily calorie intake.

  • Breakfast should be hearty, but not too dense, otherwise, instead of cheerfulness, you can get weakness and lethargy. The recommended amount of food is 300 ml of the main dish and 200 ml of a drink.

  • In different versions of quick breakfasts for every day, the following must be present:

    • proteins are the main builders of our cells;

    • slow carbohydrates – energy providers;

    • healthy fats – fuel for the brain, sources of energy, synthesizers of essential acids in the body.

    We’ve put together ten easy and delicious breakfast recipe ideas for you. Their preparation will take no more than 10-15 minutes, and you can prepare some dishes in the evening.

Why is it important to eat a variety of foods?

 

Food should be varied.

  1. Comfortable doesn’t mean correct.
    Eating the same thing day after day is very convenient. However, it is important to know that for a long active and healthy life, our body needs a wide variety of nutrients and trace elements.
  2. Physiological need for a varied diet.
    The main recommendation of the World Health Organization: “Eat a variety of foods.” A wide variety of foods increases the likelihood that you will get enough of all the nutrients you need. According to a recent study conducted in Finland, children from a monotonous diet increase the risk of developing allergies and asthma.
  3. Psychological need for a varied diet.
    In addition to the physiological need for a variety of foods, there is a psychological need. Firstly, with a varied diet, a person does not get tired of eating the same thing. Secondly, the reduction of dietary restrictions leads to a reduction in episodes of uncontrollable overeating.
  4. Five main food groups.
    It is important to eat foods from all five major food groups.

    • Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts;
    • Fruit;
    • Vegetables and legumes;
    • Bread, cereals, rice, pasta;
    • Dairy and sour-milk products, cheeses.
