A good breath

Optimizing your breathing is essential for your health. Who of us thinks to optimize each day's breathing ?

At first, the ideal is to learn abdominal breathing. Then, the ideal would be to breathe, deeply and consciously, 100 to 200 times / day on the 20,000 daily automatic breaths.

This allows better oxygenation. Respiratory controls and cardiac coherence are very helpful as well.

Breathing is the major tool to relax, meditate, relax, regenerate, energize ... and be in the performance.

Breath is the link between the body and the mind, it is the mirror of your inner state by the orthosympathetic and parasympatic nervous systems. So the efforts or the rest of our body produces the heart rate and that of our breathing.

When you get up in the morning, remember how precious it is to live, to breathe, to be happy.

Sauna and its benefits on our health

The sauna is a well-being ritual, its origin comes from Finland. It consists of staying for a moment in a room heated to high temperature, then to leave to enjoy the warm-cold alternation.

The benefits of the sauna :

The action of the heat in the sauna and the different hot-cold passages provide extraordinary benefits that relax your body, and recreate your well-being.

Relaxation : The sauna session is very good to fight against stress and tension and get rid of any negative energy. Thanks to the heat, your body releases endorphins that promote relaxation and sleep. This is why it is often advisable to practice the sauna just before going to bed, because it helps to sleep better.

Purifying action : Thanks to the dry heat of the sauna you will have a strong perspiration as well as the dilation of the pores of the skin. It helps flush toxins accumulated by your body. The sauna also relaxes the skin and improves its elasticity. The cold shower then helps to tighten the pores of the skin improving its appearance.

Muscle and Cardiovascular Action : The sauna helps the cardiovascular system function properly because it helps to dilate the blood vessels. It also helps keep blood pressure low. Increasing the speed of blood circulation helps to quickly relieve muscle aches and other body aches.
- The improvement of the immune defenses : The heat of the sauna puts the body in a state of artificial fever. This artificial fever stimulates the immune system and leads to increased production of white blood cells and antibodies and therefore to fight against diseases. For example The sauna allows you to protect yourself from influenza epidemics.
Our environment

The protection of the environment is the business of everyone. Indeed, it is our problem to all of us if the environment in which we evolve is deteriorating day by day. Thus, each of us must act as a good citizen and therefore adopt certain gestures to begin. I suggest you these tips to help you protect the environment too !

The first three things you can do

I start with food. Today, I advise to adopt an ecoresponsible diet. How? It's very simple, you can for example avoid feeding on certain varieties of fish or seafood in the process of extinction, eat more local products, seasonal vegetables.
Second thing you can do, reduce your consumption of toxic products. I'm mainly talking about household products, so do not throw them anywhere else. There are today ecological products, I advise you to get some.

It is also important to reduce the water consumption of the house. To do this, water your own garden for example and control the flow of water you run. You can also settle for a shower instead of a bath, close the taps well so that it does not drip.

At work and at home

You can also act to protect the environment of your workplace. Recycling is an idea that I propose to you today. For example, you can print the documents you need on both sides or use fewer papers.
At home, you can do a lot of things to respect the environment, including the best maintenance of your car that pollutes a lot when the engine is sick. If possible, use your car as little as possible, walk or use a bike that is much less polluting.

Addiction to the phone

According to statistics, nearly 75% of the world's population own at least one mobile phone.
Talking, taking pictures, exchanging text messages, consulting social networks, internet (...) all these actions that make us addicted to the smartphone.
- What is nomophobia ?
- What are her symptoms and can she be treated ?
The word "nomophobia" comes from the contraction of the phrase "no mobile-phone phobia", which means an excessive fear of being separated from your mobile phone. This is both classic phobia and addiction.

How is nomophobia manifested ?

Every nomophobic person is addicted to his smart phone, this feeling grows up to the phobia of being deprived of his mobile phone.
Below I give you some clues that can help to know if you are nomophobic or not :
- Your first instinct when you wake up is to look at your phone and use it.
- You always check your phone, regardless of time and place.
- You are afraid of losing your phone, breaking it, or having it stolen.
- When the battery of your phone is discharged, you feel idle.
- You prefer to communicate via phone than to actually meet people !
Nomophobia symbolizes rather the fear of being "cut off from the world" or the fear of being bored. Michael Stora, founder of the Observatory of Digital Worlds in Human Sciences even says "It goes beyond boredom, it is an avoidance of his own thinking. ".

Be careful, this new phobia is not to be taken lightly, because it can sometimes endanger the lives of individuals. Some people absolutely want to quit their lack quickly, and therefore consult their phone driving, for example, which is unconscious.

What is the care and solution of this neurosis ?

If you suffer from this new psychological illness and you do not want to be dependent on your mobile phone, you can wean yourself by closing your cell phone a little longer or forcing yourself out the house from time to time for example ... However, a more severe nomophobia may require psychological care, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.
