BEAUTY AND HEALTH

August 7

Five minutes? What can be talked about? Well, who will be able to wrest from his busy biography so much time and spend it on such a boring occupation, as a healthy lifestyle? However, in fact, it's all the charm that you will need less than 5 minutes for any of the following recreational activities!

1. Do not get up, but go downstairs!

In magazines some optimists-athletes recommend readers to refuse elevators and on the required floor to climb on foot. However, no prizes in the form of a healthy heart and piecework figure will not force a normal person to crawl up the stairs every day. Because it's at least boring, long and tedious. But, very few people know that running down the stairs is almost as useful: in this case there is quite a decent load on the muscles-vessels. Well, most importantly, it's much more fun and easier.One more thing: if you sometimes allow yourself to go down the stairs with your back, you risk not only to cut your neck and deserve the neighbors' reputation as a citizen with weirdness, but also give a pretty good load to those muscles that are usually half inactive - the muscles of the hamstrings and waist.

2. Write the alphabet in your teeth with a pencil!

The neck of a man, when he entered into a symbiosis with a computer, began to drag on quite a pity existence. And from time to time she begins to show her discontent with the pain in her shoulder muscles, then with a mournful crunch when she turns her head. And all this oh, how to prevent graphomania in blogs, the high-quality shooting of Azeroth monsters and other your work duties. To make your neck pleasant, do it at least once daily: pinch your teeth and write to them in the air in front of you the whole alphabet from A to Z. I can assure you, the cervical spine will be delighted with this. I note that Russian-speaking citizens receive a bonus of 9 additional letters in the Russian alphabet, which can not be said about many Europeans. True, for example, the Chinese with their minimum compulsory education of 10,000 hieroglyphs, will have to sweat nobly.

3. Rinse your mouth with sea water made from salt!

Buy sea salt in powder or granules. Daily, in the morning or evening, pour out a tablespoon into a glass of warm water and rinse with the resulting throat solution.Teeth, tonsils and mucous nasopharynx will be in ecstasy: caries, angina and acute respiratory infections are now much more difficult to attack them. But rinse seawater at the same time and nose according to the example of the Hindus, whose hygienic practices have now been adopted in Europe - not worth it. Drawing water with a nose without due, from childhood, habits, it's even easy to drive it to the ears, where it will live to live, until it leads to otitis, especially as the climate is not Indian.

4. Stop breathing until you get bored!

Many people think that breathing exercises are to inhale more oxygen. In fact, the opposite is true: during these exercises it is better to almost not breathe. Cardiac surgeon Academician Amosov, who lived 90 years and daily did respiratory gymnastics, wrote: "Any cell, above all, needs loads and limitations." According to Amosov, breathing exercises are a way to block the cell's access to oxygen and see how it will get out. Inhale, then exhale all the air from the lungs and try not to breathe. When you are completely bored with it, catch your breath and repeat the procedure. Try to hold your breath for at least three minutes - with regular practice it will be easy for you. And remember: the world record set by the dancer Gianluca Jenoni is 18 minutes 3 seconds. So you have much to grow.

5. Eat raw carrots, turnips, apples or cabbage cobs!

You can not imagine how many people by the age of 30 are proud owners of a beginning hemorrhoids - enlarged veins in the rectum or anus. And we represent: in the developed countries of the world their 40%! And with each birthday you will grow the risk that you have to pay with blood for neglecting fiber in the form of vegetables, fruits, cereals and rye bread.

6. Stand on all fours, bend your back as much as possible!

This is an incredibly useful exercise to be performed in a room with curtained windows and a barricaded door (make sure also that there is no mirror in the room and, accordingly, there is no risk that you will see yourself behind this occupation).So, get on all fours, bend your back as much as possible and make smooth circular movements with a pelvis up and down and left and right for two minutes. (Maniacs from the National Health Institute of the United States, who recommend this exercise in their popularized sports pamphlets, are advised at this point to imagine themselves a cat.) Pay attention, this does not insist - from our point of view, the platypus will come down). As a reward for this humiliation, you will soon be sent a healthy loin, which does not even peep when you next try to get something interesting from the top or bottom shelf of the closet.

7. Before going to bed, pour your feet to your knees with cold water using a shower!

One minute is enough for the event. So you, first, will fall asleep more quickly and more tightly; secondly, you will pay proper attention to the veins of the lower extremities, and thirdly, you will be tempered no worse than that fanatic who daily pours cold water completely, and then he wondered where in the nose so much snot takes.

8. Hook and twist everything!

Glad your fellow workers or household members. So, take the most uncomfortable position for you, crouching, straining and distorting everything that is possible: back, legs, hands, neck, lips, fingers. And you need to try so hard that every muscle in your body becomes indignant and ask: "What are you doing ?!". And the stranger now your feelings, the more "lazy" muscle fibers you used, and yet they quietly live in your body, almost nothing yourself burdening. In this form, you need to hold out for one minute. Try next time not to repeat the already worked posture, since such a truncated version of Pilates encourages static loads on the maximally different muscles, joints and ligaments.

9. Lean against the wall with your back, trying to press against it and both shoulders!

Now, keeping this straightened out, step away from the wall, take a medium weight book, put it on your head and try to sit down ten times so that the source of knowledge does not flop to the floor. Strangely enough, even such a simple exercise will have a small but beneficial effect on your posture, which is so important for the serene existence of the spine.

10. Eat with the skin!

You, probably, have got used to think, that the nature has entrusted to you to eat exclusively by means of a mouth. Meanwhile, your skin is also capable of bursting anything for a sweet soul. Strictly speaking, it is a myriad of small, toothless, but greedy mouths, actively drawing in themselves surrounding reality. And if you put on your face and forearms before a shower, for example, with honey and 3-4 minutes you will let this economy be soaked, then your dear skin will absorb a very decent dose of forty-odd kinds of vitamins and trace elements, which usually do not reach them. Especially as digestion is a traditional, witty process, but not always the most effective in terms of assimilating many useful but easily disintegrating compounds, which because of the abundance of hydrochloric acid in the stomach are almost always a scarce commodity for your body.

11. Close your eyes!

The most ideal holiday for our eyes is to give them the opportunity to see nothing.Nothing! Alas, but our eyelids are too thin and can not serve as dark curtains for the eyes. They miss quite a lot of light and images. Worse still, the brain does not let the eyes of rest - it even makes you look at the dots, strips, spirals, naked depraved women that live on the back of your eyelids even in total darkness (I'm not talking about what the eyes are doing at the time sleep and what pictures they have to watch). Nevertheless, you can still try to give the eyes a few minutes of real rest in a fraudulent way. It is necessary to close your eyes and put your hand to your forehead in such a way that it covers your eyes without touching the eyelids. Wait until all kinds of violent patterns stop blazing and now try to imagine that you're looking at black velvet. This velvet is very, very black, it does not shine anywhere and without bright glowing hair, which now and then prevents you from concentrating on contemplating the ideal darkness. However, in a couple of minutes you will finally be convinced that you have not got anything and it does not work, but now you can again bury your eyes on the computer: they have more or less rested.

12. Drink lemon juice!

A microbicide is a crime against germs that have settled in your body. But do not worry especially: many of them are still pathogenic and do not deserve better fate.To commit this massacre, it is enough to squeeze the juice of one lemon into a glass of cool water and drink. We will not say anything about how much vitamin C you will get with this - you know this without us. More important is the ability of fresh lemon juice to maintain weakening immunity with its microbicidal power. The only "but": if just now you decided to become a father, abstain before conception from this drink.
