Physical exercises improve work of a brain

March 15th, 2007 by webmaster

Physical exercises raise working capacity of the brain and stimulate formation of new neurones in brain’s parts in which age changes are connected with age decrease in memory. Such conclusions have been recently represented by the American scientists after they have compared the results of experiments with mice and data of researches with volunteers’ participation.
During the experiments with mice employees of the Colombian University estimated the intensity of a blood-groove in a brain of rodents by means of a magnetic-resonant tomography, and they have also studied cellular structure of the certain departments of a brain of animals.
The results of the experiments have shown that the appreciable increase in a blood-groove observed in mice’s hippocampus, exposed to the raised physical activities.
At the second investigation phase the scientists have involved 11 volunteers into the experiments. The volunteers were offered to pass a 3-month’s course of trainings at the sports club. In view of not having an opportunity of to lead the analysis of fabrics of a brain of participants, the researchers leaned on results of magnetic-resonant tomography.
The data of the experiments, carried out before and after a rate of trainings, have shown substantial growth of a blood-groove in a gear crinkle of the hippocampus - a part of the brain in which functions of memory are concentrated. The gradual decrease in memory, which occurred at the majority of people after 30 years, is accepted to be connected with age reduction of number of nervous cells in a gear crinkle. As the researchers mark, the increase in volume of a blood-groove was in direct ratio to achievements in sport of participants of experiment.

SPA-wrapping

March 14th, 2007 by webmaster

SPA is a fashionable cosmetic procedure. There are a lot of different SPA-procedures, which are distinguished, by the prices, and as a matter of fact, that is quite explainable. SPA-procedures on cosmetic wrapping are the most popular and simultaneously are the most expensive procedure among SPA services. SPA-wrapping helps people to grow thin (the so-called “SPA for growing thin”), to look better and, as a whole, can to cheer up. Besides, wrapping is very effective in struggle against cellulites (anti-cellulites SPA-procedures) or against arthritis.
What is wrapping?
For answering this question, it is better to tell about the process, than to find capacious definition. So, any professional wrapping starts with deep clarification of the skin. Easy massage with scrub prepares our skin for the best assimilation of useful substances. After clarification many experts recommend to accept a hydro massage bathroom with seaweed (or as them still name, algal baths) or sea salt.
After the preparatory stage is ended, it is high time to pass directly to the wrapping. All body or its separate parts are covered with a wrapping mix (often - by means of paraffin; paraffin-wrapping) by disposable bed sheet. Then you are covered with thermal blanket in which the necessary temperature depending on type of warping (cold or hot wrapping) is established. This procedure can last from 30 till 40 minutes.
Hot wrapping is usually done for all body, and the optimum temperature thus considers 38 degrees of Celsius. Cold wrapping is, on the contrary, done on separate parts of the body. Besides there is one more type of wrapping (according to “thermal” criterion), which refers to contrast wrapping. Contrast wrapping is recommended for those people who wish to get rid of a cellulites or adiposity. During contrast wrapping (after the hot wrapping of the same part of the body) a special algal mask, which possesses cooling effect, is being made.

How to cope with baldness

March 13th, 2007 by webmaster

The experts name harmful hair dresses and bad feeding as the main reasons of baldness.
If to start taking care of your hair regularly, instead of doing this from time to time, it is possible to improve it considerably. There are a lot of simple ways of cosmetic hair care. For example, this can be massage. Strengthening blood circulation around of follicles, we improve their feed.
Here the recipe of dry (everyday) massage. Bend above a bath; vigorously pound a head with a dry warm terry towel. The effect can be strengthened by oil circular grindings. We would recommend you to use olive oil for these procedures. Alternate oil to onion, garlic and lemon juices- their active biological components will help with a lot of “hair” problems. Wrap up a head by the warm towel and wash your hair not earlier, than in half an hour.
By the way, the formula “two in one” is not for you. Hair, requiring treatment, demand use of balms and conditioners separately from shampoo. Water should be not too hot, washing - fast and drying - natural, without a hair drier.
Be not lazy to comb hair for a long time - skin fat in regular intervals is distributed on a surface of hair on all length, and this means elasticity and healthy shine. By the way, if you want your hair to shine, pass it through wooden jaggies of natural silk rag. Honey, salt, beer, whey, broth of bran - all these simple improvised means are not less effective then any other “natural” hair care cosmetics.
It is possible to make hair magnificent even without any special shifts, it is necessary to “feed” it with sulfur: our hair consists of keratin on 97 percent, the substance containing sulfur. It gives shine and a health to the hair, and the skin of the head becomes more elastic and viable. You may find sulfur in vegetable marrows, onions, apricots, cabbage, potato and raspberry.

How the ideals of female beauty changed

March 10th, 2007 by webmaster

Different epochs dictated different standards of female beauty. How they did they eventually vary?
Antique times brought the first cult of beauty. A concept of ideal beauty was in harmoniously combined body, smooth lines of the breast, the expressed waist and wide hips. Sculptors of that time modeled only such figures. For example, the proportions of the well-known Venus are 86-69-93 at 164 cm. growth.
In X-XII a century Europe the new ideal of beauty was generated. Troubadours glorified fragile, pale ladies, defenseless and helpless on a kind. Everything, beginning from high growth and finishing a high forehead, came into fashion. Ladies shaved off a part of the hair framed the face in order to open their forehead. To make the neck seem longer and thin, the nape was shaved. Thin hands, long fingers and long legs were appreciated.
The only paradoxical thing was the fact that the standard of beauty meant noticeable, big stomach. Those ladies, whom the nature has awarded with a flat stomach, have also found a way out. They put the special platen simulating the increased stomach under the dress.
In the Medieval Europe reined the rigid orders established by Catholic Church. The physical beauty was considered sinful. Therefore women put on the dresses, almost completely hiding a figure.
But even during those uneasy times there was a standard of beauty. It was a harmonious woman, neither thin, nor plum. Diminutiveness was highly appreciated. Everything should be small - growth, hands, foot, breast.
After strict times the era of the Revival time has come. Magnificent bodies have started to be appreciated. Plum hands, wide hips and magnificent breast were considered as special advantages. Smooth bends of a body were emphasized as much as possible - by means of special breed of a dress, deep décolleté and short sleeves.
In the end of XVI century in Italy style of a baroque which in XVII century has grasped practically all Europe has appeared. The fashion included luxury, pretentiousness and airs and graces. Time of so-called doll beauty has come.
Women should remind fragile figurines. The standard of appeal meant the unreal thin waist, small head on a long “swan” neck, sloping shoulders and a small breast.
Some ladies starved themselves because of constant under eating.
Finally the XX century has come - it is time of emancipation. Women began to go in for sports and give a maximum of attention to the physical activity. There was an absolutely other standard of female beauty - the sunburn, well developed muscular system, self-confidence and self-sufficiency.

Respect your legs! (Part 1)

March 8th, 2007 by webmaster

In vain many people think that a pedicure is a haughty manners and waste of money and time. Knowingly this word has ancient Latin roots (pedis - a leg, cure - leaving).
First of all, the pedicure removes weariness of legs. We mean the weariness, which has been accumulated for long cold and not solar months. It is not pathos exaggeration. Everyone knows - the majority of women save on a pedicure in winter months. We are always having either a lack of money, or a lack of time. And it is necessary to look for other clause of economy if, certainly, you would not like that legs have given out the truth about you - about your hygiene, health, taste and habits, and greed in the summer when the closed footwear is replaced by the easy open sexy barefoot.
What will be, if you, for example, do not clean teeth for a week? Of course, you don’t even want to think about this horror. And, meanwhile, stockings, socks, stockings and the other synthetics, incorrectly picked up footwear by the “beautifully and fashionably” principle, bring many uncomfortable sensations to our legs.
Beauty salons usually offer on a choice some variants: classical, European, hardware and SPA-pedicure. In a cold season our legs suffer from sweating, in the summer - from dryness. As the result we receive the coarsened skin, cracks, and calluses. Do not think that washing of legs by gel, on which the inscription “Thalassotherapy” is written, will save the situation. The pedicure is more, than washing of legs and a covering of nails with nail polish; it is also a high-grade care of stops, fingers and the skin of your legs.

Romantic girls prefer the refine fragrance of exotic colors. “KenzoAmour” with its unique Asian smack of vanilla and dairy rice, but without vulgar sweet will help you to create  you the “pink glasses” image. Gentle flower notes are audible in new “Forever and Ever” aroma by Dior.

The most important vitamin

March 5th, 2007 by webmaster

All vitamins are necessary for our beauty. But which of them is the most important?
Perhaps, vitamin A or Retinolum is a basic vitamin for the skin. It carries out a set of the major functions in an organism. Retinolum is necessary for formation, development of skin cells and mucous membranes of our organism. This vitamin provides normal moisture and updating of cells, accelerates processes of healing, stimulates formation of own substances in the skin, for example, it provides collagen formation. Such vitamin’s A feature is successfully used in structure of medical products at treatment of various skin diseases and for maintenance of nutritious and updating effect in cosmetic means.
Vitamin A is always added into cosmetic means in the form of various derivatives that provides best “penetration” into the skin for maintenance of necessary effect. For example, pure Retinolum in a complex with collagen Retinol oils are widely used for preparing of ani-age cosmetic creams.
Widely advertised rejuvenating effect of creams with vitamin A has already been proved. First of all, vitamin A in structure of a cream accelerates cellular updating and young sections take the place on the skin surface. Therefore the first effect which is observed at application of similar creams is the improvement of complexion.
Our skin consists of several “floors”. Three basic skin layers are: epidermis (the top layer), mesoderm (an average layer) and hypoderma (the deepest layer). New skin cells are formed in deep layers and in process of maturing move ahead to the top skin layer - to the epidermis. Such process normally lasts for about 28 days. Under the Retinolum and other substances with similar action influence the process of new cells formation is considerably accelerated, that is why cells have no time to grow old.
In cosmetology peeling on the basis of the Retinolum effect is done. The other vitamin’s A effect is increase in development of own collagen which so is necessary in struggle against skin ageing. Collagenic fibres is skin internal “skeleton”, it provides precise contours of the face which are, unfortunately, lost with the age. Collagenic fibres form a network located almost on all surface of the skin. Elasticity and a youth of the skin depend on these structures condition. At constant application of creams to vitamin A in structure of there is a gradual updating collagenic structures and fastening of this effect.
The ceams, containing vitamin A, are recommended for improvement of a complexion, disposal of any skin problem or wrinkles’ correction.
