It seems incredible, but with just one simple exercise, you can get rid of wrinkles and gray hair, and even rejuvenate in general.

Do the exercise "Birch" and see what happens!

It seems incredible, but with just one simple exercise, you can get rid of wrinkles and gray hair, and even rejuvenate in general. We know it under the name "birch".

RULES FOR PERFORMING THE EXERCISE

You can do the exercise every day in the morning. Breakfast before this should not be, but you can drink a glass of juice. Besides, this exercise is incompatible with the use of alcohol - the effect of such a practice can only be negative. For the same reason as alcohol, it is desirable to remove from the diet all unhealthy heavy foods, in particular meat. Women should not do this exercise during pregnancy or menstruation. You also need to be careful for those who have high blood pressure.

While doing the exercise, relax and close your eyes.. If you are unable to relax in this position, then you are doing something wrong. Perform the exercise only until discomfort appears and after a while you will notice that you can stay in this position longer without discomfort.

It is important that if you are doing a "birch", be sure to do the opposite pose - "snake".

To do this, you need to lie on your stomach and rise on arms wide apart, as when pushing up from the floor, but bend your upper back, while the pelvis should be on the floor. To avoid health problems, make sure that the time spent in the "birch" is necessarily equal to the time spent in the "snake" position.

Regarding the length of stay in the inverted position to achieve the desired effect, here different sources diverge. Some sources say that you need to stay in this position for at least 30 minutes, while others say that 8 minutes a day is enough.

But all sources agree on one thing: you need to start with 1-2 minutes, gradually increasing the duration of the exercise (you can add 30 seconds daily).

WHAT THEY SAY MODERN RESEARCH

Modern medicine has found many advantages in this exercise. According to doctors, the inverted position of the body removes part of the load from the circulatory system, creates the need to overcome the force of attraction when blood passes through the lower body.

Blood rushes to the organs of the abdomen and upper body, especially to the neck and head. The blood vessels of the legs rest, the brain receives additional blood supply, the thyroid gland is abundantly washed with fresh blood.

In addition, this exercise eliminates constipation, poor digestion, anemia, increases appetite and general vitality of the body, helps to neutralize and destroy toxins.

Well, it's worth doing focus on improving upper body muscle condition and spinal flexibility, on the state of which the normal functioning of almost all organs of the body depends..published

Traditional Chinese medicine has over a hundred wonderful therapeutic exercises in its arsenal. Many of them simply work wonders with regular practice...

But there is one simple exercise that stands out even against the background of these most precious pearls of Chinese preventive medicine. Because it will help youkeep your brain healthy until very old age.
“God forbid I go crazy, it’s better to have a staff and a scrip” - the great Russian poet wrote back in the 19th century ...

When a disease develops, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the balance between the elements of Yin and Yang is disturbed.

But it is quite difficult for us to understand this, just as it is not much easier to imagine that the connections between the internal organs have been broken or unbalanced. When there are problems with the limbs or with the spine, doctors believe that the harmony between the internal organs and the musculoskeletal structure is lost.

And it's not easy to comprehend, especially if you don't understand much about Chinese medicine. Not everyone has the desire to go into theory, but they really want to just know if there is some simple way to restore balance and harmony? I will answer yes.

Exercise

In the arsenal of Chinese medicine, there is a simple and extremely effective method called the Golden Rooster standing on one leg exercise. I suggest you master it right now.

Golden rooster stands on one leg

Take off your shoes and socks (feet should be bare, because the channels of the main internal organs pass through the foot). Stand up straight, close your eyes, freely lower your arms along the body, lift one leg and stand in this position for several minutes. Stay as long as you can. It probably won't be more than a few seconds at first. Your task is to gradually bring this time up to 3 minutes on each leg. To make it easier to maintain balance, focus all your attention on the foot of the supporting leg. Distribute body weight throughout the foot, and not just on the heel or just on the toe.

An indispensable condition is not to open your eyes. In this case, vision will not help you maintain balance, which mobilizes the brain to restore balance and balance in the internal organs in order to maintain the overall balance of the body.

Channels of the six most important internal organs pass through the soles of our feet, when you try to balance on one leg, weakened channels may even start to hurt, but at the same time they will train, which in turn will have a beneficial effect on the organ to which the channel belongs, and on that part of the body in which this organ manifests itself.

Performing an exercise "The golden rooster stands on one leg" helps to focus and get rid of absent-mindedness.

Blood and qi descend into the limbs, which has a positive effect on hypertension, diabetes, osteochondrosis, sciatica and other diseases.

It is effective for signs of cerebellar atrophy, Meniere's disease (the disease is manifested by bouts of dizziness, noise in one ear, hearing loss, imbalance), gout. Increases concentration.
This exercise, when performed regularly, is extremely effective for those people whose limbs are cold ... This method treats the root of the disease, and also perfectly strengthens the body's immunity.

The effect of exercise on health

Imagine a picture: a narrow bridge is thrown over a mountain gorge. You walk on it, it starts to sway and sag, but you need to keep your balance and calmness in order to get to the other side. Fear throws you into a fever and you get your portion of adrenaline, which worsens the situation even more.

Why is this happening?

When you are completely healthy, then all systems and internal organs are firmly connected with each other by energy channels through which the energy of YIN and YANG flows in continuous streams. As soon as you get into a dangerous situation for just a minute, all systems immediately start working, activating all the processes of the body to solve this problem.

But if there is a stagnation in the energy channels in the body, there is a violation of the connections between organs and systems, which leads to imbalance. If you have problems with your spine, arms or legs, this is the result of a loss of harmony between the internal organs and the musculoskeletal system.

This exercise is the golden key that will help you restore harmony and balance in the body.

I wish you health and longevity!

Facial gymnastics (Facebuilding) was developed by the German plastic surgeon Reinhold Benz. This is a training method with which you can restore facial muscle tone and reduce wrinkles.

We have compiled a selection of the 13 most effective exercises, thanks to which the skin becomes smooth and elastic, wrinkles are smoothed out, the oval and complexion are improved.

• Before exercising, wash your hands thoroughly and clean your face of decorative cosmetics.
• Pay close attention to changes in the face, the appearance (or aggravation) of wrinkles and folds during exercise. Places where wrinkles and folds form, press with your fingers to prevent the formation of wrinkles in this place.
• During the exercise, only the muscle group to which it is directed should be involved. If other muscles are included - this is a mistake.
• At the end of the set of exercises, wash your face with cool water and apply serum or cream.
• Do gymnastics regularly. At the stage of intensive rejuvenating effect, it is worth exercising for 10-15 minutes a day, 5 days a week. To maintain the effect, it is enough to perform gymnastics 2-3 times a week.

Today, injections of Botox, hyaluronic acid and mesotherapy have, oddly enough, a serious competitor, clearly winning against their background with their absolute accessibility for every woman. It does not require investments and is not tied to a specific author. But the effect of it is just as amazing: the contour of the face is tightened, the cheeks and puffiness are smoothed out, the nasolabial and nasolacrimal folds completely disappear, even deep wrinkles are leveled, and mimic and small ones disappear after a week or two. The main and, perhaps, the only requirement of this method is consistency and regularity.

How is rejuvenation

The essence of this miraculous method is that it does not act on the skin, but on the facial muscles, which, with the onset of skin aging processes, i.e. from 23-25-27 years old (everyone is different), they begin to weaken and lose their former tone. As a result, in places where there used to be a dense muscular frame that stretched the skin, wrinkles form, and in the presence of a dense layer of subcutaneous fat, swelling appears and deformation of the facial contours occurs.

The same method acts and “pumps” the facial muscles, forming the former facial relief and tightening the age-related deformations that have arisen. In addition, in the process of performing exercises from facial aging, blood circulation is accelerated, the skin is saturated with oxygen and useful substances, which helps to restore the previous rate of skin cell regeneration and the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers. The latter, as you know, cease to be produced in our body in the process of skin aging, which leads to a decrease in skin elasticity and thinning of the natural barrier layer of the skin that protected it from free radicals.

What results to expect

Examples of women who have chosen facial gymnastics as their main method of combating the signs of sluggishness show that amazing results can be achieved after 4-5 weeks of daily training, provided that you perform the exercises twice a day (morning and evening) for 15-20 minutes, each time increasing the number of repetitions of exercises.

After a week, you will begin to notice that light mimic wrinkles are smoothed out, after two deeper ones, the nasolabial folds and cheeks will begin to tighten, after a month you will see a change in facial contours and a significant decrease in the number of wrinkles and deformities.

In more detail, then gymnastics from facial aging will help you after a month and a half:

• smooth wrinkles on the forehead;
• get rid of wrinkles and puffiness under the eyes;
• tighten the skin of the eyelids;
• restore the contour of the face;
• smooth out nasolabial folds,
• lift the corners of the lips;
• get rid of the line of the second chin and sagging in this area.

• exercises should be performed twice a day: in the morning and in the evening;
• first, do the exercises for at least 10 minutes, each time increasing the number of repetitions and the duration of the session;
• Be sure to moisturize your skin. To do this, pre-cleanse the skin and apply a moisturizer. In addition, be sure to drink at least 2-2.5 liters of water per day. The skin needs to be nourished not only from the outside, but also from the inside. This is a prerequisite for the exercise. Otherwise, you may get the opposite of what you want;
• At first, try to do anti-wrinkle facial exercises in front of a mirror. So you can control your facial expressions. Later, exercises can be performed without a mirror;
• after affecting the muscles in a certain area, relax them with a light massage.

From wrinkles around the eyes

• close your eyes so that you feel the tension of the muscles under the eyes, while you do not need to close your eyes too much, then sharply open your eyes and look up, then relax the muscles. Repeat the exercise 5-7 times;

• place your ring fingers on the edge of the hollow in the eye area, so that they are just above the corners of the eyes. Close your eyes. At the same time, you will feel the displacement of the eye muscles - do not interfere with them, but keep your fingers in place;
• squint at first sharply to the left, then to the right. Repeat at least 15 times, gradually increasing the speed.

• mentally put 2 points: the first - in the center of the upper lip, the second - in the middle of the lower. Place your index fingers on the top of your cheeks, but do not press. Try to form an oval with your mouth, while stretching both points. Then smile with the corners of your mouth, keeping the oval. Relax. Repeat 10 times, increasing both the speed and the number of repetitions;
• pull in your cheeks first and then puff them up. After that, alternately smile with the corners of your mouth;

• tilt your head back, and stretch the lower lips to the upper, as if trying to cover it. Hold for 5 seconds. Relax. Repeat 5-7 times.

Hello dear readers! My news today is from the world of scientific experiments.

During one of them, it was found that leading an active life can be the secret of being young, both for humans and for mice.

Yes, for mice! Researchers at McMaster University of Canada found that endurance exercise could reverse the aging process in a group of mice, even if they were genetically engineered to age quickly.

For several months, these furry creatures continued to show stunning results. After exercise on the treadmill, they had indicators, like young mice. In addition, the training program prevented premature aging in almost every organ of mice tested.

Test results show that not only can it help prevent premature death, but it can also delay the aging process. The researchers note that exercise provided almost 100 percent protection against graying fur, brain and muscle atrophy, hair loss, and a host of other problems.

Study lead author Mark Tarnopolsky, a professor of medicine and pediatrics, said: “What really shocked us was the appearance of the spleen and liver – all the tissues we observed improved with exercise. The classes had a systemic effect and even prevented a slight shrinkage of the brain.”

In the study, mice were genetically engineered to have an age-inducing defect in their cells known as mitochondria. This group had to run at a brisk pace on a treadmill for 45 minutes three times a week.

While these active mice remained energetic and looked as young as ever, the sessile mice were inactive, socially isolated and less fertile, as well as bald and gray. Whereas the muscle tissue of the active mice appeared to be completely normal, the tissue of the inactive mice showed signs of damage.

But the biggest discovery was seen in mouse mitochondria. Experts have long suspected that the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations over a lifetime leads to progressive tissue decline, leading to aging.

Tarnopolsky noted that the results of the study are applicable to humans, and he hopes that the results of the experiment with mice will motivate people to exercise. He believes that when people watch videos of barely moving mice and their healthy moving counterparts, it will encourage them to get off the couch and exercise.

Previous studies of genetically engineered, prematurely aging mice have included calorie restriction and a variety of drugs, with far less results. However, there are, and their constant use will also certainly affect your well-being and life expectancy.

Regarding the health benefits of exercise, Tarnopolsky noted: “Most people mistakenly think that exercise can be replaced with pills or other means. We have made it clear that nothing can replace exercise when it comes to protection against aging».

The good news is that it's never too late to practice on the treadmill. Research has shown that even those with a sedentary lifestyle can still reap the benefits of exercise, which provides an opportunity for energy and mobility.

In a word, scientists advise to move more, play sports and teach your children to it from childhood. Remember: exercise can lead to the fountain of youth. Go in for sports, and you will be young, healthy and active for a long time!
