Quienes creen en lo paranormal?
Siempre he sido escéptico a lo sobrenatural, sin embargo ese escepticismo se ha ido a pique con una situación que viví hace poco, por un momento dudé de si era real o producto de mi imaginación.
Les comento, hace poco viaje a mi país, a ver a mi familia. Soy de un pequeño pueblo de aproximadamente 4000 habitantes, allí radican la mayoría de mis familiares desde siempre, han sido muchas generaciones que han habitado aquel pequeño pueblo, incluso desde antes de ser fundado. Allí está la casa de mis abuelos, desde que fallecieron no ha vuelto a ser habitada. Durante la visita, mi madre me pidió que la acompañara a hacerle mantenimiento y limpieza, ella por lo general lo hace para que no se deteriore.
Estando allí, revivieron muchos recuerdos bonitos de mi infancia, cómo jugaba y corría junto a mis primos por aquellos amplios pasillos, descalzos y sin camisa, haciendo algarabía y con estruendosas carcajadas de felicidad 😂. Estaba absorto en mis pensamientos, mirando por una de las ventanas hacia el patio de la casa, en ese momento veo la presencia de una anciana de pie cerca a unas flores, que me miraba sonriente, tenía una pequeña hendidura a un lado del labio superior (labio leporino). Agudicé la mirada creyendo que era una visión producto de mi imaginación, pero aquella anciana seguía allí inmóvil, esto sucedió al cabo de 30 segundos aproximadamente hasta que se desvaneció. Sabía que no era mi abuela, a aquella mujer nunca la había visto, quedé meditativo todo aquel día, pensando si aquello que ví era real o mi cerebro me hizo una mala jugada. Transcurrió el día, ya por la tarde no pude seguir callado ante lo que ví y le comenté a mi madre sobre aquella visión, ella se consternó un poco al punto de las lágrimas, y se preguntó que como era posible. En mi asombro por su reacción, le pregunté que sucedía, a lo que me respondió; que aquella anciana era mi bisabuela, que lo sabía por la hendidura en su labio.
Cabe destacar que a mí bisabuela no la conocí, murió hace muchos años antes de que yo naciera. Tampoco nunca había visto fotos de ella, sin embargo al siguiente día; volvimos a la casa y busco en un baúl de madera que era de mi abuela un álbum de fotos antiguas. Oh sorpresa allí en blanco y negro y un poco deteriorada había una foto de aquella mujer, un poco más joven pero con la misma marca en el labio y las mismas facciones de aquella anciana, y si, era mi bisabuela que desde el más allá quiso venir a saludarme.
Desde ese momento, no creo pero tampoco dudo que hay algo más y que el mundo sobrenatural posiblemente si existe.
A mis abuelos y a mi bisabuela a quien conocí después de muerta, les envío muchos abrazos y deseo que donde estén, sean inmensamente felices.

Voices from beyond: the mule woman of San Pedro del Río
One of the main characteristics that define the people who live in small rural towns, besides their nobility and humanity, are their beliefs in curses, ghosts and apparitions.
Today I come to tell you a true story, from which a myth arose. The facts that I am going to narrate are true. What I will tell you happened in San Pedro del Rio, a small town located in the Venezuelan Andes.
In the mid-1970s, in the town of San pedro del Rio, there lived a family that was the object of public scorn. The reason why this family was denigrate was because the mother committed incest with one of her sons for a long time and from that relationship a baby was born.
At the time of the pregnancy, the woman was approximately 4o years old and her son was a teenager of 16. It is speculated that te woman´s marital relationship with the boy began when he was a child, and the woman was even accused of being a pederast.
The suspicion of incest arose when the woman became pregnant, having been a widow for many years, and because she had never been known to have an affair with another man. Some people in the community claimed that on several occasions the woman and her teenage son were seen in a strange attitude, as if they were husband and wife. When questioned about the father of the child she was carrying in her womb, the woman did not know how to answer. The townspeople, appealing to morals and good customs, pressured her to the point that she had to admit that the father of her child was her other son.
For the community it was an aberration and an unacceptable immorality that a mother would give birth to a child of her own child (the baby would be the son of her grandmother and the son and brother of her brother and brother and nephew of her uncles). A total confusion, enraged they attacked the family to the point that the police authority had to intervene to prevent a lynching.
After a few months the waters calmed down, the child was born as result of the incest. A few days after the baby was born, the woman´s eldest daughter, then 18 years old, took the baby in her arms and dropped him, claiming it was an accident. Unfortunately the baby died from the shock of the fall. The town gossips claimed that the girl dropped the child on purpose so that he would die, because she rejected him and because she was ashamed of the immorality her mother had committed by getting involved with her brother. There was no cause for homicide, the authorities assessed the situation as an accident.
As result of these events, it was commented among the inhabitants of the village that the woman was cursed for her sin, and from that moment on, when she was still alive, she began to wander the streets of the village and the surrounding area at dawn, transformed into a mule. Many claim to have seen her, even today, when many years have passed since the events took place and even though this woman is already dead. Now they say that her cursed soul wanders aimlessly.
Those who claim to have seen her describe her as a black mule with te face f a woman. Some early mornings a heard is heard passing through the streets of the town, many have looked out from their homes to see her pass and say that fire sprouts from her hooves.
The curse for sin, condemned the mule woman to wander aimlessly and without peace, for all eternity.
This is how a myth was born from a real fact. My mother is a native of the town of San Pedro del Rio and since I was a child I heard that story. I know the woman daughter of the mule who dropped the baby a few days old, today she is an elderly lady, I am a friend of one of her sons, once she showed me a picture of her mother and I could not help but feel chills.
During the years I lived in San Pedro del Rio, I experienced paranormal moments that I will tell you about in other articles, but they were never related to the mule woman.
It is inconceivable that a mother would have intimate relations with her underage son and it is even more inconceivable that a child would be born from this unnatural union.
This kind of behavior should not be justified, however the baby was not to blame for the mistakes of his parents and deserved to live. But I can´t imagine the cruel life that would have befallen him, to be branded as the child of the mule woman and judged as the product of an immoral and reprehensible act, of an incestuous act. The best thing is what happens. I wish that the pure soul of the innocent is resting in peace, while the mule woman continues to wander the Venezuelan Andes.
It is likely that this specter wants to visit your tonight, to watch over your sleep from a corner of your room when you are resting peacefully in your soft bed.
The end...

Until when?
The last few days I have been thoughtful and distressed by everything that is happening in the world. Where is humanity headed? What awaits us in the future if we continue to behave in an unconscious and selfish way? It is unfortunate that there are events like the massacre in Texas where innocent children were killed and robbed of their right to life, to grow and to dream. I do not understand what goes through the mind of an individual who without any scruples violently attacks and murders a group of people in a supermarket, in a movie theater, in a school, anywhere. We are not and do not feel safe anywhere and we live in anxiety every time we take our children to school.
I do not understand how it is possible that war exists, where thousands of people are killed and mutilated, innocent victims (men, women and children), and many others have to flee leaving their properties that cost them effort and hard work to get, leaving behind their dreams, their country to be strangers in another place. I do not understand the unjust decisions of politicians, who do not love their people and subject them to the scourge and torture of war. The lust for power, for territorial hegemony, for natural resources and for controlling everything is leading the governments of the world to take wrong steps that will probably lead us to self-destruction. I call for world peace!
I do not understand how there are men who savagely rape, outrage and murder defenseless women, with the absurd excuse that it was for love. Many children have been orphaned by insane murderers who took the lives of their mothers because they did not submit to their whims. I understand even less when I read on social networks how some people justify violent acts against women by saying that they did it because of the way they dressed, the way they walked, their makeup, or because they went to a party at night to have fun.
I don't understand how an individual can murder another to steal a cell phone or a pair of shoes. How is it possible that life has no value and is taken away so coldly? Is the life of another so undervalued that it is taken away for a pair of shoes, for a phone or for a few bills?
I do not understand how there are parents who mistreat, abuse, torture and murder their children (defenseless boys and girls), when their duty is to educate them, care for them, love them and protect them even at the cost of their own lives. So much for social decomposition and the lack of values in the family!
I do not understand how in the 21st century there is discrimination based on race, creed, sexual orientation and physical appearance and I even less understand individuals who make fun of and kill others for being different. It is time to understand that we live in a diverse world, tolerance is essential for a healthy coexistence. We are children of God and we all fit on this planet, it is time to accept ourselves with our differences, ideas, opinions and ways of thinking.
I don't understand! Why do poverty and hunger continue to exist? Why do thousands of children and the elderly die of malnutrition every year? And why in some countries is access to health and education so expensive and limited? Why does the exploitation of man by man continue to exist? Why are the fundamental human rights of the most defenseless in the system (the poor) violated?
How long are we going to allow ourselves to be carried away by base instincts and irrationality? How long will we be selfish and individualistic?
It is time to leave selfishness and individualism, we must learn to put ourselves in the shoes of others, we must learn to love and accept others. Life is short and cruelty makes it even shorter. Remember that the vanities of life end in the grave. Let's help whoever needs it. Out there are many people eager for a smile, a word of encouragement, a hug, clothes, a plate of food, a couple of coins, let's run to their aid and offer the best of us.
There are many things that happen in this world that I don't understand; but I still believe and I still have faith in humanity and in the conscience of the rulers. I'm sure there are more good people than evil (good will reign over evil). If we want a better world, let's start by improving ourselves and with small actions we promote change.
*Happiness and being a better person is a choice, therefore choose to be happy by being a better person and doing good.*
Thank you for reading. Until a next opportunity!
The value of friendship
Hello dear readers! Today I want to share with you an interesting topic, which moves our emotional fibers and allows us to be better people. I will write about friendship and how important it is for each of us to have friends.
Blessed are those who have true friends because they are more than brothers. Friendship is a value that is in decline, however we have in our hands the power to recover and promote this important value. Friendship among human beings is fundamental for a healthy mental, spiritual and emotional development.
The great thinker Aristotle said that human beings cannot live without friends because they are designed as social beings. Therefore we need others to be able to relate, to share, to achieve our goals and objectives, and to survive. There is a another beautiful phrase of Aristotle that is worth bringing up in this text, he said that friendship is a soul in two bodies and a heart in two souls, the thought of this famous philosopher describes very well what friendship is as a necessary feeling that adds value in the life of each of us.
It is important to keep in mind that in order to look for friends it is necessary for us to be friends and for this we must ask ourselves: Am I a good friend? The importance of answering this question lies in understanding that friendships are built and for this we must start with ourselves.
There are friendships that arise in an instant; just with a brief conversation, but usually the best friendships arise from a long process of communication. Friendship implies that each of the two people involved bring values and principles such as respect and the ability to put themselves in the other person's shoes and understand that they are not perfect. A person who is looking for flawless friends is doomed to be alone and friendship will not be part of his or her life.
We usually use the term friendship in a very generic and superficial way, we say friend to any person with whom were relate on a daily basis, many times we assume as a friend a simple companion and the reality is different, the term friendship has a much deeper conception because a friend is someone who knows well our defects and virtues and, therefore and in spite of it, loves us and accepts us as we are.
To make the above statement more understandable, I resort to a common example; in our facebook social network we have many followers (We refer to them as friends) but really how many of those followers are our real friends? if you have two (2) true facebook, instagram or any other social network friends, you are very lucky because true friend is not very common and not found in a social network.
to have true friends we have to be exception of today's society and stop being individualistic (first me, second me, and third me), and on the contrary we must learn to think about the other person. In this sense we must reflect on what I need to be a good friend and to have good friends.
Many people are born with the ability to relate and form friendships, others find it difficult to make friends, but the beauty of friendship is that it is an ability that can be developed. It is similar to a plant, both must be cultivated, to grow and develop we must water them with love, dedication, enthusiasm, consideration and compassion. In friendship we should not worry about what we are going to receive but about what we are going to give, we should occupy ourselves with serving, this being one of the foundations of friendship.
Friendship should not be self-serving and should be based on affection and truth. With a friend we can be totally sincere, express ourselves completely without fear and without reservations, in the friend we place our trust and expect understanding. In the same way we must open our arms and our hearts to receive our friend without reserve.
It is much easier to make friends than to keep them, since a friendly relationship requires time and dedication, as well as important doses of respect, affection, loyalty, sincerity, communication, empathy, alturism and a sense of humor.
When people are friends, each will not hesitate to experience with the other moments of joy and happiness, difficult situations, problems and failures. In friendship, each understands that he or she plays a very important role in the other's life. That is why friends trust each other with their plans, dreams, thoughts, ideas, and secrets, sometimes even life. The greater and deeper the trust and respect between people, the stronger their friendship will be. It can be measured neither by the amount of money nor by any merit. It is priceless and only a true friend lets you know that you are not alone and gives you strength in difficult times.
****Conclusion****
With a friend we can be totally sincere, we place our trust in him because we know that he will not judge us, but rather he will understand us and advise us when necessary.
A friend is willing to accept us as we are with our successes and failures, with our virtues and defects, even in sickness and in health.
The true value of friendship lies in serving and giving without expecting anything in return. A true friend supports you, understands you and strengthens you spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
Love your friends, open you heart, be understanding and make them feel that you will always be there for them, in the moments when they need you the most. Life without true friends is meaningless.
A true friend can neither be bought nornsold.

Bereavement for the death of a loved one
Hello! I have been absent from read.cash for a few days now, due to personal reasons and force majeure. It is a pleasure for me to be back, because this medium through writing, allows me to show my thoughts, feelings, ways of thinking and even vent my emotions. Since I have been part of this family I have been grateful, not only for the profit I can get for my publications (undoubtedly very important; because it recognizes the effort that each one of us makes to write), also because it is a means to expose points of view and situations of my personal experience, in order to inform, entertain and if necessary help in the growth, improvement and welfare for a better quality of life of the reader.
The last few days have been difficult for my family and me. We have had to face the sudden death of a loved one, which has been a hard blow for all of us and has demoralized us.
Through this article I want to express in a personal way how has been the process of mourning to which we are currently subjected. Although it has been a very painful and difficult process to endure, it is necessary to understand that there is hope and contrary to what many may think (I respect everyone's beliefs, points of view and way of thinking), I do believe that there is something beyond this life, when we die we transcend; that is why I have the hope that my loved one is currently in a better place and thinking about it makes me rejoice.
About 15 days ago, two (2) of my cousins, with whom I am very close were diagnosed with cancer. One of them with cervical cancer and the other with breast cancer. Together with my family we decided to support my cousins unconditionally and with a positive attitude we resorted to look for the economic means for them to start treatment, since it is very expensive. We were focused on the steps to get the money, when all of a sudden we received the news that my sister's husband (my brother-in-law) had suffered a fulminant heart attack.
My 34 year old brother-in-law has always been a healthy person, he never had problems due to health complications, but at the beginning of this year 2022 he was infected with Covid-19, he spent approximately 2 months in a medical center because the disease attacked him severely. By God's will and thanks to the performance of doctors and nurses he was able to overcome the disease, but there remained in his organism sequels of this terrible illness. In my family we celebrated his recovery, but from one moment to the next a fulminant heart attack blinded his life forever. The heart attack was a consequence of the Covid-19 that damaged his heart.
My two nephews, a 12 year old girl and a 6 year old boy lost their father, my sister lost her beloved husband, I lost a brother that life gave me and a great friend. Probably many people who are reading this text, have lost loved ones through death, which has caused them deep pain and they will understand my feelings of grief, however sooner or later we will also leave this world and others will feel pain and cry for our absence (The dreaded cycle of our existence). Although death is naturally a part of life, we will never be prepared to receive it and to face the pain of loss and even less so abruptly. The acceptance that our family member or friend has passed away is uphill and difficult to assimilate.
In times of grief for the irreparable loss of a loved one, we should take refuge in our family and friends, not lose faith and hope. Let us live the grief but without feeling guilty (it is a feeling that hurts a lot and leads to emotional depression). Death is a natural process and therefore we cannot avoid it or control it. Those of us who believe in a supreme force (GOD), let us take refuge in prayer, and ask the Creator of everything for strength to be able to fill the emptiness of our heart and overcome the feeling of desolation.
Let us remember the beautiful moments we shared with our family member. Let us not deny or complain, but rather be thankful for the time he/she spent with us. Lives is fleeting and death unpredictable, let’s take advantage of living each day as if it were the last, laugh, hug and help those who need it, when you feel the need to say "I love you" do it without hesitation, dream and fight for your dreams, give love to others, greet everyone with kindness. If you do not feel happy somewhere leave (work, city...), if you are with a partner who does not make you happy; then separate. Don't worry about tomorrow that already has its own worries; don’t be tormented by assumptions or situations that probably won't happen. There is only one chance to live; it is here and now. Don't wait until it's too late.
The greatest tragedy of life is not death; it is having a life without purpose. Find the purpose of your life and live.
In memory of my dear friend and brother in life, Luis Ernesto. You will be in the memories of those of us who will love you forever.
Thank you for allowing me to express my feelings, see you next time!
Meat or legumes? You decide!
Hello! Proper nutrition is necessary for good health and prolonging your years of life. My intention is to offer guidance for those people interested in preserving their health and having a natural way of life, within the limitations that today's civilization imposes on us.
I know that with the information provided in this and in the various articles published by me previously on this platform, many will enter into the dilemma of asking themselves: "So what do I eat? I am suggested not to eat meats, not to consume refined sugar, refined flour and its derivatives, refined and hydrogenated oils, margarines, canned products, those containing dyes or chemical additives: coffee, tea, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. But; is there anything left to eat or drink?
Dear friend, the answer is "yes": there are many things to eat, such as legumes, fruits, vegetables, brown rice, cereals, olive oil, cane juice, pure honey, among many other healthy options.
I remind you that the content of this article is merely informative, based on my personal experience in acquiring the habit of healthy eating. If you are interested in improving your diet, I recommend that you see a specialist, who will indicate the appropriate diet, according to your particular needs.
Below I place "meats" versus "legumes" on a scale, through a general definition of each one of them and the behavior they have in the body when ingested. You, my friend reader, will draw your own conclusions about what you should and should not eat.
**Meats**
This item includes all types of meat from any animal, the most common being: beef, pork, any type of poultry and fish.
For health reasons they should not be included in the diet. Some will say that they are the sources of proteins, but I say that they are rather the sources of toxins. Why? Because a few hours after the death of the animal, the putrefaction process begins and the proteins of its meat are transformed into a highly toxic substance called "Tomaine" (toxic product resulting from the putrefaction of organic matter). Carnivorous animals kill their prey and eat the meat immediately before the putrefaction process begins. Now tell me how many people eat meat from freshly killed animals? In most cases it does not happen. It takes days from the time the animal is slaughtered until the pieces of its carcass reach your table.
It is common to hear some people say "I don't eat meat, I make the soup and I only eat the broth and the vegetables. Dear friend, if you are one of those who think this way, I am sorry to disappoint you, the least of the evils would be for you to eat the meat and leave the broth, because when cooked, the meat releases a large part of the toxins (tomaine) it contains and they are concentrated in the broth.
The most common argument of the advocates of animal meat consumption is still the need for protein. But what about legumes? Soybeans contain more protein than any other food. Legumes are one of the best sources of iron and other minerals; they also contain riboflavin and thiamine (B-complex vitamins), and provide the necessary fiber to the body that allows the prompt elimination of digestive waste (feces).
In short, we must change our diet to that of the rural inhabitants of some African and Asian countries, which essentially consists of ground corn, parboiled plantains, freshly harvested vegetables and potatoes, and large quantities of legumes.
I am convinced that with such simple advice as changing our diet and abandoning pernicious habits such as smoking, liquor, drugs and chemical substances, we would achieve a longer and more fruitful life.
**Legumes**
Legumes are a good food, and should preferably be consumed at the midday meal. To avoid the gases that they sometimes cause, especially beans. It is recommended to soak them and cover them with a wet cloth, leaving them until the next morning or until they are about to germinate, it is at this point when they can be cooked. They should be soaked for a period of 24 hours before cooking. This also applies to brown rice and other cereals.
As legumes are energetic foods, they contain carbohydrates and proteins, as well as vitamins and minerals.
- Soybeans provide more protein than meat.
- Peanuts are a source of vitamin B and calcium, in addition to their high protein content.
- Lentils provide iron, potassium and many other minerals.
-Peas are the most recommended for their high mineral content and their purifying properties. Among many other leguminous plants, these are the best known and most consumed.
As you have seen, there are many benefits that legumes bring to our body. They are potentially nutritious foods. Unlike meat; legumes do not contain toxins harmful to health, so it is recommended to eat them with confidence and make it part of the daily diet. Together with vegetables and fruits, they provide a complete and balanced diet.
Finally, I would like to share with you two delicious recipes, one based on peas and the other based on soy. I hope you prepare them and enjoy them with your family.
****Pea’s soup****
**Ingredients:**
1 cup split peas
1 cup of assorted vegetables
5 cups of water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper finely chopped
1 chili bell pepper chopped in small pieces
2 small spoonfuls of turmeric
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
**Preparation:**
Boil the peas with the turmeric and a teaspoon of salt. Chop the vegetables and add them. Simmer for half (1/2) hour or until tender, stirring occasionally. In a skillet heat the olive oil and fry the cumin seeds. Add the bell pepper and chili, cook for a few minutes and then pour them into the pot where the peas are, stir, cover and let stand before serving. Enjoy!
****Soybean meat****
**Ingredients:**
2 cups dehydrated soybeans or soybean meal
2 onions
4 sweet peppers
4 crushed garlic cloves
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro
1 small spoonful of ground turmeric
1 teaspoon whole oregano
1 teaspoon whole cumin
1 bay leaf
Pepper and salt to taste
**Preparation:**
If using dehydrated soybeans, place in a bowl and pour over two (2) cups of boiling water; cover and set aside until the soybeans have doubled in size and absorbed the water. Place 1/2 cup of olive oil in a pot or skillet and sauté the onion, garlic and chili peppers and add the rest of the ingredients, except the pepper and salt. Add to soy the sautéed seasonings, sprinkle with salt and pepper and let simmer for a few minutes, stirring from time to time. Turn off the heat and keep the pot covered for ten (10) more minutes. Serve with rice or whole wheat pasta, in which case you can add a little tomato paste, if desired.

Drinking water is useful and essential for our health
***May 11, 2022***
Water is everything: well-being, mood, strength, stamina, endurance, appearance. Every cell of the body, to some extent, needs clean drinking water. Without food, our body is able to maintain its vital activity for more than a month, but without water a person cannot live for more than ten (10) days.
In order for water to be really beneficial to health, it must meet several mandatory conditions: it must be really clean, without third-party chemical additives. That is, the liquid that enters the body in the form of sweet soda, coffee and even tea, does not count.
the following are some of the benefits of water for the human body:
Improves brain function: the brain consists of a large volume of water, and its lack causes a decrease in brain activity, as it worsents the delivery of the necessary elements to the brain cells.
promotes the production of fat-burning enzymes: fats are broken down with the help of lipase, and this enzyme does nor work whem there is a lack of water.
It helps to gret rid of the constant feeling of hunger: sometimes it is impossible to distinguish between the feeling of hunger and the feeling of thirst, and when you drink water in the right daily amount, the constant feeling of hunger disappears, as a result of which the extra kilos do not a appear with unnecessary snacks.
Helps eliminate toxics substances: many harmful toxins exit through the kidneys and their normal functioning is archieved through the daily intake of a sufficient amount of of water. It also facilitates the work of the liver.
Makes skin look younger: daily use of the required amount of water prevents skin dryness and favorable skin affects its condition.
It acts a lubricant for the joints: due to the lack of liquid, muscle spasms can occur, in addition, water is the main component of the "lubricants" for the joints, so it is recommended to drink water before and after sports.
Ensures the normal functioning of the digestive tract: thanks to water, constipation is prevented and "waste" is excreted properly.
Reduces the risk of developing infectious diseases: due to lack of water, the immune system suffers, as a result of which infectious diseases can befall a person.
It does not contain chlorine and therefore helps to strengthen tooth enamel.
Adequate water consumption is very useful to prevent stomach ulcers, gastritis, chronic liver diseases and helps to maintain a correct metabolism.
Water consumption reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. Staying hydrated is important for the cardiovascular systems.
**Recommendations for acquiring the habit of drinking water**
On many occasions and for different reasons we forget to drink water or avoid consuming it. Here I give you some recomendations to acquire the healthy habit of drinking water. Your body and your health will you for it:
A very common causes of insufficient water intake is that we forget to drink. To prevent this from happening, always keep a water bottle, pitcher... in sight. This works perfectly. You won't give thirst and dehydration a chance.
Do you find it hard to drink a full glass of water? Don't force yourself. Take it ones step at a time. Drink a little now, a few sips later, after 5-10 minutes a few more, and so on until you manage to drink it all.
Often a person mistakes a feeling of hunger for a feeling of thrist. That is, it may seem that you really want to eat, but in reality the body has a great need for drinking water. Are you hungry? Drink a glass of water. And only after 15 minutes, when hunger does not subside, eat something.
Don't like drinking pure water? Try adding little natural honey to your water. Water with honey is very beneficial for our organism. Add some sweet and aromatic berries, a slice of lemon... Such water will not be less valuable, but it will acquire new notes of taste and color, which, especially at first, will make drinking water easier and, at the same time, pleasant.
I hope these simple rules will help you quickly get used to a new and mega-useful regimen, because the benefits of water for the human body are undeniable. You will notice how your appearance and well-being will begin to improve.
Remember that happiness is a choice; therefore choose to be happy. See you son!
The importance of water in our lives
***May 10, 2022***
Greetings dear readers! With this article I want to continue promoting a healthy lifestyle through a proper diet. We are a reflection of what we eat and drink. If our diet is balanced and nutritious, we will have less risk of getting sick and we will be more energetic; on the contrary, if our diet does not provide our body with the necessary nutrients, we run the risk of getting sick more frequently. Today the main protagonist of this publication is "DRINKING WATER".
Introduction
We all learned in school that the human body is composed of 60% to 80% water (depending on age), and we also learned that this water must be renewed. For this reason, the renewal of our body and our health depend to a great extent on the adequate consumption of drinking water. In other words, water constitutes approximately 2/3 of our body weight. The amount of water in the body depends on age, in infants it is approximately 80%, in adolescents 70%, in adults 65% and in the elderly 60% of body weight.
There has long been talk that a person should drink 2 to 2.5 liters of water per day, but this statement is not entirely correct. Most healthy people meet their daily water needs based on the sensation of thirst. For healthy people, there are no exact recommendations for water intake, since water requirements vary considerably among individuals and are influenced by physical activity and climatic conditions (In hot weather, more water is consumed than in cold weather. A person who practices sports and is in constant movement consumes more water than one who has a sedentary lifestyle).
The regulation of water balance is closely related to electrolyte balance. If there is too much water in the body, more dilute urine is excreted, and if the concentration of electrolytes in the body fluids is too high, the thirst center in the brain is stimulated, which causes a sensation of thirst and the excretion of water by the kidneys decreases. Fluid loss occurs in urine and feces, and also evaporates through the skin and respiratory tract.
**Healing effects of water and its importance to health**
The healing properties of water have been known since ancient times. Our ancestors used water to cure many diseases; people visited a bathhouse, took several showers and simply drank water extracted from the bowels of the earth. Of course, the therapeutic effect can only be achieved when using pure water, which is not contaminated with impurities and harmful chemical microorganisms.
Among the most important elements of water for health we can mention:
**1.** It is the main element of the human body; therefore it is of vital importance for organ function and thermoregulation. More substances dissolve in water than in any other solvent. Most of the chemical reactions that take place in our cells require water.
**2.** It is necessary to transport nutrients and oxygen to all the cells of the body. Helps convert food into energy and absorb nutrients. Restores the functioning of blood vessels and joints.
**3.** It maintains the stability of body temperature in any climate, protects vital organs, and is important for the health of the skin. It participates in both the internal and external cleansing work of the body, helping the body to rid itself of wastes through the elimination of toxins through sweat and urine, and serves as a treatment for poisoning with caustic substances (dilutes them). Water also promotes respiration.
**4.** Only water can really quench your thirst: no juice, tea or coffee can achieve the desired satisfaction. All human organs and systems contain fluid and, therefore, a certain amount of water is important for maintaining health and prolonging life.
**Conclusion**
Water is life. All forms of life, from the smallest to the largest need water to live. Most of our planet is made up of water. These data show us how essential this element is for the survival of any living being, and human beings are not exempt from needing it. My intention, dear reader, is to invite you to reflect on the importance of this vital liquid in our organism. Consuming the necessary water every day helps us to be healthy and prolongs our life.
I encourage you to change your habits and to pursue a healthy lifestyle, omit the consumption of soft drinks, diet drinks, energy sodas and any other drinks that do not bring benefits to your health and replace them with pure and natural water.
Remember that happiness is a choice; therefore choose to be happy.
Thank you for existing. See you soon!

Mother! Mommy! Angel!
***May 08, 2022***
Hello dear readers! Today May 8, 2022 is a special day, in many countries we celebrate the day of mothers, warrior women, and givers of life, unconditional love, and enterprising women and sacrificed for the welfare and happiness of their children. For me it is an honor to pay tribute through this article, to our beautiful angels here on earth.
**Some customs and traditions for this day**
Mother's Day is an international holiday in honor of mothers. On this day, it is customary to congratulate mothers and pregnant women. Mother's Day corresponds to the best traditions in the ideas of kindness and honoring a woman-mother. A mother is the main person whose selfless love saves us in the most difficult moments and whose kindness, care and patience help us throughout our life.
In countries such as the United States and Australia, there is a tradition of wearing a carnation flower on clothing on this day. Also, color matters, as a colored carnation indicates that a person's mother is alive, and white flowers are placed on clothes in memory of deceased mothers. In other places they simply congratulate their mothers, either by phone, postcard, giving gifts, everyone decides for himself.
**What to give mom as a gift?**
Generally, in Latin American and Caribbean countries it is customary to celebrate this day in family gatherings, where Mom is the honoree; she receives all the attention of the day and is showered with any number of gifts. Here you will find some recommendations on what to give Mom on this special day. Remember that our mothers can be given gifts any day of the year, so these ideas can be used for any special occasion.
**- Flowers:** Every woman loves flowers, so surprise your mother with a wonderful bouquet. Choose her favorite flowers, they will definitely be appreciated. You can also gift flowers in a pot, mothers love to take care of them and water them. If your mom is allergic to flowers, then you can give her a bouquet of chocolates. If money is tight (the reader can be a boy or girl), you can make flowers out of paper. Look for video tutorials through the internet with a description on how to make paper flowers, and surprise mom. I'm sure she will greatly appreciate the detail made with your own hands.
**- Perfumes and skin care products:** If your mom pays special attention to her beauty, or if you think she should do it more often, then perfumes are a good choice because they are practically every woman's most striking accessory, which can be chosen according to her personality. Fragrances for mature women exude sophistication and elegance. Think about what scent your mother would like best.
Skin care creams, cosmetics, lotions are sure to please you. Even women of a more mature age do not refuse mascara, lipstick and other makeup products. Mother's Day is a great opportunity to add these items to your collection.
Essential oils will delight not only a pleasant aroma, but also a healing effect. Choosing the right option, you can help your mother to cope with skin problems, bad mood or simply take care of her well-being.
- **Jewelry:** All women love jewelry and this gift will be appreciated by all mothers. It all depends on how much money you have. Diamonds, gold, silver or just cheap but beautiful jewelry. Your mother will like it; the main thing is to give it with love in the heart. And if there is no money, you can make something yourself. Handmade work is now highly valued, you can make beautiful jewelry that will look expensive only because of its originality.
**- Invitation to the theater, cinema, spa or restaurant:** A ticket to the theater, a certificate to a spa, a beauty salon, a trip to the sea, invitations to an art exhibition, today you can give a lot of interesting things. A good option would be a joint trip to a restaurant or even a walk in the park.
-**A market (food):** With a limited budget, it's okay to give gifts without luxuries. A grocery basket will be an excellent alternative to make mom happy and save her from the hassle of spending money at the supermarket.
You may not be able to give expensive gifts. However, everyone can afford to give a pleasant conversation. Chat, rejoice together, and exchange positive emotions. To do this, it is not necessary to spend money, even a home-cooked meal and a cake already means a lot. After all, the most important thing is the attention and love that you can give your mom.
**What does it mean to be a mother?**
A mother is the main person in our life, whose selfless love saves us in the most difficult moments and whose kindness, care and patience help us throughout our life. Being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, because mothers have a great responsibility: in most cases, it depends on them how the child will grow up, the future of the country and the world. Being a mother means giving life to a new person, caring for and protecting the child, teaching it how to live in this world and helping it to become a full-fledged member of human society. To be a mother is to harbor life in your womb for nine (9) months and to spend long sleepless nights when the little child is sick. Being a mother also means giving up eating and dressing so that your child will be fed and have clothes to wear.
**Mom!**
Mom - is the word that in the life of every person is associated with the most warm, bright and intimate feelings. Probably, all of us at least once thought about where the word "mom" comes from. It is believed that the word MOM refers to the group of words that appeared even before the appearance of articulate speech in people. It is almost impossible to trace the history of this word, as there are similar sound combinations with the same meaning in almost all languages of the world. It is probably the oldest and most beautiful word on earth.
**Reflection**
Mother's Day is not only a celebration of the woman who brought you into the world. It is also a celebration of the mother of your children. So let's not forget to congratulate and surprise our wives, as well as grandmothers, great-grandmothers, sisters, mother-in-law, and all those who have already become mothers. They deserve it and will be delighted to receive your attention.
Never forget about gifts for mom. They don't have to be material things, a simple phone call or a visit will brighten her soul. Mom will be immensely happy just to have you around so she can hug you. The more she pays attention, the more happiness you will give your Angel here on earth.
I would like to appeal to all children, no matter if they are 20 or 50 years old, remember their mothers more often. Love them, communicate with them, give them gifts and go visit them constantly, they miss you so much. It's great that there is a Mother's Day holiday, but remembers that you don't need a reason to love your mother, and it's better to say warm words every day.
I wish every mother as many smiles and reasons as possible to be proud of her children! Happy Mother's Day!
**Remark:** This article was written with help from my sister Angela.
Hello. Greetings to all. Today May 8, 2022; in my country Venezuela and in many other countries in Latin America and the world, we celebrate the day of the angels that God gave us here on planet earth. Today is the day of our beautiful mothers. Mine was my angel on earth for 20 years; now from heaven she continues to protect me. Let me congratulate you women mothers who with unconditional love educate and protect your children. During the day I will be publishing an article in honor of the warriors and beautiful women who shelter and give life.
Digital Transformation in the Business Sector Facing the New Reality Post Covid-19
***May 07, 2022***
Hello dear readers. I am happy to share a new publication with you. I would like to make an aside to tell you the following: ***I have a degree in education and I am currently pursuing my second professional career "Public Accounting" This article is a summary on a much broader research, which I have done as homework for a college subject and I decide to share it with you.***
Now if I go to what interests us, I wish with all my heart that the content here exposed will be of great utility to expand your knowledge in general culture.
****Article****
The current circumstances with the spread of Covid-19 has driven accelerated economic and social change in many countries and one of the most striking consequences of the pandemic, is the hasty introduction of digitization through the use of technologies in different areas, such as the health sector, education and especially in the business sector, by increasing online transactions, e-commerce sales and acceptance of new payment methods, as is the case of cryptocurrencies through the use of digital wallets or wallets (example; Bitcoin Cash), among others. These changes have led to the emergence of new challenges and opportunities, so it is essential for all sectors to adapt to this new reality, especially the business sector so that they can offer improvements in the different processes and productivity.
In the present conditions, it is necessary to understand the importance of digital technologies (digitization) in companies, for the continuous improvement of their productivity and their permanence in the market in times of post Covid-19 pandemic.
**Digital transformation as a factor for growth and opportunities**
In the transition to the new digital era, it should be noted that the progress of Information and Communication Technologies is creating new challenges for companies and the professionals who work in them, so it is very important to train in this area for the formation of capable professionals with sufficient knowledge, so that they have the necessary tools to enable them to cope with these transformations.
Digitalization represents one more step towards the advancement and growth of a society where digital consumption has been massive, so this trend is not only an urgent need for organizations to remain in competition and ensure their permanence in the market, but it is also the material basis created for the widespread use of these technologies. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the importance of digitization in the business system and how it is relevant to start this process of transformation from traditional to digital economy, as soon as possible, emphasizing that it is a process of adaptation and continuous training.
Thus, the growth of e-commerce and other online economic and financial operations are helping to accelerate the digital metamorphosis of companies, especially small and medium-sized ones, forcing them to expand their presence on the web, in order to survive in the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic and evolve along with the current changes and thus consolidate themselves in the future as a mechanism for innovation and progress that allows part of the technological development.
In this context, digital transformation becomes a useful tool that provides convenience, a form of exchange and effective, clear and agile communication, creating new opportunities that benefit this sector.
I know that observes that digital transformation in a high percentage can be part of the strategies that entrepreneurs would implement, as a measure of optimization and growth of their companies, recognizing that the use of digital platforms provides more opportunities to overcome development challenges, through rapid technological absorption.
**Post Covid-19 situation in the business environment**
Since the appearance of the covid-19 and up to the present time, there have been advances in the studies on the behavior of this virus and due to this it is observed how in many countries the restrictions have been gradually relaxing, going from a radical quarantine at the beginning of the pandemic to a practically total relaxation at present, which generates that the organizations return to their normal functioning and operation; but with certain changes and restrictions, due to the fact that the virus is still present in our day to day life.
The business sector due to the pandemic issue faces the problem of having to make strategic decisions to develop new lines of business, optimize existing models and find ways to reduce costs. Therefore the Covid-19 pandemic has allowed companies to lay the foundations for the development of new markets, adapted to the current reality. Primarily it should encourage the digital market.
Most entrepreneurs consider that digital transformation is an important factor of growth and generator of opportunities in the post Covid-19 reality, which is why digitization is more than a measure to take into consideration; it is a necessity that could be inevitable and transcendental, therefore many companies see the opportunity to grow and advance based on new technologies, accepting this new reality as part of the necessary innovation to create digital capabilities, which help to optimize their functions, resources and activities, allowing better control of these.
More and more companies are joining the digital era, adopting technological tools of this nature with the intention of withstanding the existing crisis; therefore the use of digital technologies is the new model to implement in companies, in response to the pandemic and adjusted to the new reality, as it is a mechanism that has allowed during the situation of turmoil, continue working remotely, accelerating the process of transformation to digitization, becoming a tool of great help for the survival of the business structure. The Post Covid-19 situation is quite encouraging, although it is true that this virus has not been eradicated and for now there is no mechanism to do so despite the creation of vaccines, we have learned to live with it, being a process of changes, challenges and evolution.
****Conclusion****
Digitalization is here to stay, in this new reality where digital is part of our daily lives, it is impossible not to see the benefits it generates in all areas, but especially in the business environment. There are so many advantages that they offer that it became a tool that cannot be left aside if you want to be up to date in a changing and competitive market.
Citizens are significantly forced to go online to purchase goods and services, so consumption patterns are changing drastically, and these changes will make human life much more convenient from now on.

Products not recommended for human consumption. part II
***May 06, 2022***
In the following text I give continuity to the writing **"Products not recommended for human consumption. Part I"** This refers to products that I do not consider food because they are not nutritious for our organism and in the long term can trigger health problems. The information presented in this article is merely informative. Acquiring healthy habits is a free and personal decision. the purpose is to provide information that may be useful for you to have a healthy lifestyle, but it is your choice to take advantage of it or not.
**Milk and cheese (Dairy products)**
This is a controversial topic. There are fanatics for and against it. I agree with doctors, physiologists and nutritionists who consider milk an indispensable product for the normal development of mammals in the first stage of their lives. Milk contains a lot of calcium, essential for the formation of teeth and bones, lactose protein, vitamins, fats and lecithin. It is a complete food for the development of the body; but once the body, bones and teeth are developed, what will we do with the excess calcium if we continue ingesting the same amount of milk? We should not continue consuming it unless we have a decalcification problem, the body must get rid of substances that it does not need once its reserves are covered, and as the elimination capacity is limited and the consumption of the excessive substance, the body distributes the excess through the arteries, through the joints, part remains in the kidney, which later gives rise to arteriosclerosis, arthritis or kidney stones, respectively.
Keep in mind that we are not children of cows, and if we were, then calves are weaned in due time and do not drink milk again. The consumption of milk in adulthood can cause serious health problems.
It is recommended to drink some sour milk from time to time, preferably after the main meal (breakfast). Sour milk is prepared by mixing one part unsweetened yogurt (plain yogurt) with two parts water. If you consume yogurt, you should not drink sour milk at the same meal. Yogurt should also not be drunk alone, but mixed with fruits such as bananas, mangoes, dried or dehydrated fruits and not every day.
We cannot be fanatics, so it is important to point out that sour milk serves to eliminate toxins, control cholesterol and increase digestive enzymes, among other favorable actions.
There are recipes in naturopathic medicine whose composition includes milk. That is fine, since one thing is medication (for a certain period of time) and another thing is regular consumption. I must also emphasize that milk acts as a palliative in some cases of intoxication and in others as an adjuvant or vehicle for other substances.
It is recommended to use fresh milk (freshly milked) to prepare yogurt, sour milk, use in medication or consume, if you do not get it, prefer powdered milk, as it is more free of foreign ingredients than pasteurized milk. A good substitute for regular milk is soybean milk, nutritious and healthy. Milk consumption should be moderate, remember that everything in excess is harmful to health.
**canned and frozen products**
Any food that has been cooked six (6) hours before consumption is more difficult to digest. Now think about the months or maybe years that the products you buy in a can have. Also think that most of them have chemical preservatives added to them and the container (can) can suffer deterioration or alterations that affect the product contained therein.
In short, the canned food that you put in your mouth will cause little or no nutrition to your body, perhaps depositing in your body toxins that you do not need and that are harmful to you. If for circumstances beyond your control you have to consume some canned food, try to keep the portion small.
The same can be said for frozen foods. Most do not contain additional chemicals, but due to the length of time they have been frozen, it is likely that they have very few nutrients left that can provide you with benefits.
When for some reason you can't eat at home, the best thing to do is to take your own food with you (of course it doesn't have to be the same as what you would usually prepare), something that is easy to carry and doesn't spoil. Example; whole wheat bread, soft corn tortillas, oatmeal cookies with a little honey. If it is not feasible, you can drink water and eat fruits, there is no danger of intoxication. Bananas, for example, are very nutritious and have a high caloric content that provides energy. Another option is guavas, apples and pears.
**Soft drinks and carbonated beverages**
I do not consider it necessary to warn, after all that has been said about sugar and chemical additives. The consumption of these beverages is an absurd attemp against healtth.
Soft drinks and carbonated beverages contain nothing more than water, white sugar, artificial coloring and chemical additives and in some cases active stimulants such as caffeine.
When you are thirsty drink **WATER**. Not carbonated or mixed water. When your body rediscovers the pleasure of drinking pure water, it will thank you. Water has no substitute, drink it cool, not too cold, extremes of temperature, both hot and cold, are harmful.
Drink fruit juices, but without sugar, do not drink pasteurized juices because they contain chemical preservatives and sugar in significant quantities.
**Stimulants**
One of the most used stimulants is liquor; the alcohol it contains corrodes the liver and destroys the human body, not without first attacking the nervous system, annulling the will and clouding the mind. That is to say, before killing you, it turns you into a decadent person.
Although it is very delicious and hard to believe, coffee and tea are harmful (caffeine and theine respectively) because they produce "shocks" in the nervous system altering its functioning. They also cause disorders in the gonads, in some cases leading to sterility. Tea contains tannic acid that causes constipation and digestive disorders. Both tea and coffee should be replaced by aromatic herbal teas (lemon grass, mint, peppermint and chamomile are good alternatives) or by roasted and ground barley or wheat coffee.
Remember, an organism that is not intoxicated and properly nourished is immune to disease, since its defense mechanisms work perfectly. An individual with a healthy diet will only die by accident or old age.
Another very common stimulant is tobacco. Whoever is addicted and cannot stop smoking it is bent on destroying himself through this highly noxious poison. If it is very difficult to stop smoking tobacco, at least change your consumption habits, chew it if you want, but stop smoking it. By what right do you poison the air that we all breathe? By what right do you dare to pollute the air that your own children breathe in your house or car? That the air is already polluted enough? "That's right". But is the solution to pollute it more and more every day? "No." We need some sense, gentlemen!
**Conclusion**
I remind you that having good eating habits guarantees a healthy lifestyle. When we are healthy we have more energy and can better develop our daily activities and enjoy life to the fullest. Happiness is a choice, so choose to be happy.

products not recommended for human consumption. Part I
May 05, 2022
Dear reader, in this article I am going to comment on some foods that are widely used for food, but do not provide the necessary nurients to the human body and, on the contrary, are harmful to health, reducing the quality of life of those who consume them.
The content presented in this text is purely informative. if you want to improve your eating habits, consult a nutritionist for appropiate recommendations adapted to your specific needs.
I do not use the term "food"because most of the products I am going to mention are not food. Despite this, we happily consume them to the sound of all kinds of advertising paid for by their producers.
**Refined flour**
All the vitamins, minerals, proteins and fibers contained in the grains used for its production have been extracted. What you buy is starch; although vitamins are added (ironically, natural vitamins are extracted first and then artificial ones are added), they are not absorbed by the body in the same way as in a natural product.
In the process of metabolism, the body converts refined flours into sugar; therefore, they are very caloric, fatty (with the disadvantage that they are not nourishing due to the denaturation they have undergone) and, to top it off, they cause constipation, since they are also deprived of their natural fiber.
You can eat bread and pasta, but from wholemeal flour. Of course, flour is incompatible with protein, so sandwiches with ham, cheese, sausages, ... represent a huge nutritional mistake. Also, almost all cakes contain flour and eggs (protein). Avoid them if possible and make your own cakes without eggs and with whole wheat flour.
**White sugar**
This product is highly caloric and has no nutritional value. All the vitamin B complexes, calcium, iron and minerals in the sugar cane have been extracted through a refining process that uses chemicals such as phosphoric acid, calcium sulfite, sodium carbonate and others. In the end, what you buy with that beautiful white appearance is: **WASTE**. Waste that deprives the body of large amounts of vitamin B and calcium to assimilate; making it responsible for tooth decay, bone problems, avitaminosis and a whole series of side effects.
the road we are on if we do not realize it in time and improve, listening to the voice of doctors and nutritionists who say that we are completely degenerate if we compare ourselves with people of tha past who have not had cancer or arteriosclerosis, who still read without glasses, have their heads covered with hair and eat with their teeth. The threat is extinction. Gradual degeneration that ends in extinction. A good scenario for a species that boasts so much of its progress in terms of civilization. After so many scandals and alarms worldwide about nuclear weapons, wouldn`t it be tragically comical to be "sweetly" annihilated by their own stupidity in terms of production and consumption of poisons? I agree that refined sugar packets should carry the same warning printed on cigarette packets: **"*****Caution, the use of this product has been determined to be harmful to health*****"** and whoever wants to continue consuming it should do so; at their own risk.
The consumption of natural sweets is recommended, as they are very energetic and nutritious. Use cane molasses, you can also use pure honey instead of the adulterated molasses sold out there, and eat all kinds of sweet fruit with high natural sugar content without worrying.
**Refined oils and fats**
These are products that have undergone hydrogenation processes, which prevents the oil from becoming slightly rancid so that it can be sold without storage problems to the benefit of producers and retailers, eliminates taste and odor, clarifies and provides and almost transparent final product.
Hydrogenation destroys the essential fatty acids, the oil cannot be absorbed by the body´s cells and, after ingestion, ends up coating the inside of the blood vessels, causing heart disease. Vegetable margarines and shortenings are made from hydrogenated fats and contain chemical additives.
It is advisable to use unrefined oils, although they are difficult to obtain and a little more expensive than refined ones (logically they should be cheaper because they do not undergo so much processing, but this is not the case). Nevertheless, any effort that results in health benefits is worthwhile. Although health is not the only important thing, we must keep in mind that when it fails, everything else falls by the wayside, so spare no effort or money to preserve it.
*****Reflection*****
Once formed, habits are difficult to break. Although few people have managed to break them, it is not impossible. Change our bad eating habits and, as a reward, we will gain better health and quality of life.
I invite you to read the second part of this important article in my profile. And let´s dedicate part of our time to be healthy with a healthy and adequate diet and exercise.
Thanks for reading, see you soon!
Benefits of fruits for a healthy diet
***May, 04, 2022***
Hello dear readers! It is a pleasure to be back with you. Today I start with a compendium of articles on how to have a healthy diet to improve our quality of life and provide us with the nutrients and energy needed to met our daily activities.
We will start with fruits, which are a healthy food that provide the body with the necessary energy to perform different activities, they are the primary aid of man who strives to prolong and improve his physical and mental health.
In order to obtain really effective results, the elements ot each of the treatments listed above should not be altered, as some chemical incompatibilities form toxins that impair digestion and others slow down the digestive pocess.
**Classification of fruits**
There are four (4) large groups of fruits and they are classified as:
**Neutral:** They are characterized mainly by their tastelessness, rich in proteins, minerals, trace elements and vitamins; among them we can mention some such as coconut, hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts and almonds.
**Sweet:** They are characterized by a pleasant taste, are rich in B12 and B15 complex, vitamins A,C and E. All except watermelon are compatible with each oter. They do not contain acids. Some of them are: papaya, pear, apple, banana, watermelon, pomegranate and grapefruit.
**Acids:** They are characterized by their high acid and complex and their excellent capacity to lower cholesterol and uric acid. Among them we can mention pineapple, passion fruit, and tamarind, orange and all citrus fruits, except lime.
**Semi-acid:** these fruits are simpler than acid fruits, because ther contain less strong acids. They contain elements in small quantities such as cyanide and are rich in proteins. In this group are tomato, passion fruit, peach and strawberry.
The largest group of fruits is the sweet ones the smallest is the neutral ones.
**Fruits that should not be mixed for consumption**
Some fruits produce different reactions when mixed, this is due to fact that many of them form chemical substances that affect the organism. Sweet fruits are the only ones that do not produce such effects, so they are recommended for salads and diets.
It is necessary to know the classification of fruits, so as not to make mistakes in the mixtures and cause damage to the organism.
Fruits classified in the acid and semi-acid groups do not allow any type of mixture. The oils of dry fruits such as nuts, hazelnuts, coconut, almonds, peanuts, among others, mixed with the sugars of sweet fruits; produce a serious indigestion when consumed in the same meal, since they produce toxic ferments for the cells, causing hepatic disorders.
The mixture of carrot and orange produces harmful effects on the renal system, deteriorates the ureters, elevates the level of acidity, stimulates the excess of bile and destabilizes the functioning of the liver. The bromelain contained in pineapple mixed any dairy product intoxicates the organism.
Lemon mixed with papaya desestanilizes hemoglobin levels in the blood and produces anemia. Hyperacidity or acidosis is caused by the mixture of guava and banana.
The incompatibility between orange (acidic) and melon (Sweet) produces toxic fermentations that delay the transformation of glucose, irritating the walls of the intestines.
**Fruits that be mixed for consumption**
Except for watermelon, all fruits can be mixed together. Watermelon is a fruit that half (1/2) hour after opening produces an arsenic concentration of 0.5%, affecting the digestive system. Neutral fruits can be mixed together.
**Dried fruit**
They should not be missing in the daily diet. Due to their high content of potassium, phosphorus, sulfur and proteins, they help to strengthen muscles, reinforce and support the immune system**.**
**Indispensable fruits to have in our homes**
Apples because they have a large amount of therapeutic and nutritional substances.
The passion fruit because it is very digestive.
The banana for being the ideal fruit to control the nerves.
Guava because it is rich in vitamin C.
lemon for its bactericidal and antiseptic action.
Citrus fruits in general, such as oranges and tangerines are recomended to avoid flu and contamination of the body.
Grapes control high blood pressure and help with colds and colds, as well as cleanse the liver and kidneys.
Walnuts have properties that help in pregnancy.
Coconut and almonds are fruits with high protein content and should not be missing in our daily diet.

Depression: My personal experience. Part II
I started suffering from depression when I was 20 years old. When my mother passed away I was in another city 12 hours away, attending college. My mother never presented serious illness or clinical complications, she was always a healthy woman, from one moment to another she began to present respiratory problems and in a matter of hours she died a respiratory arrest, her departure was unexpected and I did not have time to say goodbye.
My mother's physical departure was a hard blow that plunged me for two (2) years in the hell of depression; I was tormented by the guilt for not having been able to be by her side. At the wake I learned that at the moment she went into crisis and when the doctors were trying to stabilize her, she began to cry out my name in desperation. That is, my mother passed away calling my name, we had four (4) months without seeing each other or hugging. For two (2) years I was tormented by the guilt of not being able to be with her when she called me on her deathbed, I was tormented by the idea of knowing what she wanted to tell me so urgently; this led me into an abyss of darkness from which I struggled to get out.
On several occasions I attempted against my life, I reached a state of emotional instability difficult to describe with words, the nights were eternal, my brain did not rest in its thoughts (it was in constant activity), I had five (5) days without sleep and I decompensate. For two (2) years my life was suspended, I was hospitalized in a mental clinic for 8 months under strict medical treatment with antidepressant medication. I also started having constant panic attacks.
After 8 months of being hospitalized I began to show improvement, and then the doctors considered it convenient to discharge me from the hospital but with strict compliance of the medication. Gradually I abandoned the feeling of guilt that tormented me, however I still felt emotional instability, and I could only sleep with medication. I decided with all my strength to recover my life, so I began to investigate about depression, looking for methods that I could apply to overcome the difficult process I was living, , I started to play sports, to socialize, to write and to help children in a situation of abandonment through a charitable foundation and so little by little I was recovering my life, panic attacks also began to decrease and I resumed my university studies.
After a little more than two (2) years, they suspended my medication, although I had been told that it was for life; the doctors considered that it was not necessary to continue with the medication. Today I am a happy and fulfilled man. With confidence and courage I say that I am a survivor of major depressive illness. I believe in God and I know that He gave me the strength to overcome and move forward, for this I thank Him infinitely.
This article has been written inspired by my personal experience and I hope it will be of great use in your life only as a complement. Under no circumstances should the information presented here replace medical assistance. If you are going through a depression do not hesitate to seek professional help, do not allow the disease to progress, it is better to treat you in time, as well as it is better to prevent.

Depression: What is it and how does it manifest itself? Part I
Hello my dears readers! Today I come with a new article about a disease that in recent years has gained more strength, because more and people suffer from it. I will talk about depression. It is important to emphasize that I am not a psychologist or psychotherapist, so the content of this article is strictly informative. At no time should what is written here is a substitute for medical and psychological help.
I write according to my experience as a person who for many years struggled with depression as a consequence of the physical loss of a loved one, but with psychological help and a lot of willpower I was able to move forward. Being a patient with depression I had to investigate and research in depth about this matter for a long time, so I acquired knowledge that allowed me to understand my condition and be able to help myself, thus complementing the medical-psychological assistance. I reiterate that I am not a specialist in this area and my content is purely informative.
I will now proceed to write in a broader and more generalized way about depression and what we must do to overcome it.
***Introduction***
Depression is currently considered one of the most common ailments, together with cardiovascular diseases, because it affects millions of people around the world. According to the results of several investigations that have been carried out, up to 20% of the population in developed countries suffers from depression, making it a situation that concerns and occupies medical science in the search for solutions to reduce and prevent the risks of this disease or mental disorder.
Throughout our lives we experience a great variety of feelings and emotions, our mood is changeable and we feel depressed at some point. Sometimes we are sad, overwhelmed by failures, we feel loneliness, exhaustion and fatigue, all this is normal and it could be said that depresiion is temporary; but when depression darkens the whole world of the person and lasts for more than two (2) weeks it becomes a problem that must be attacked in time. In this case, a greater awareness of the characteristics of this disorder and professional help to overcome it is required.
***What kind of illness is depression?***
Depression is a mental disorder characterized by a decrease in mood with a pessimistic evaluation of oneself, drastically reduces the ability to work, impairs thinking, and brings suffering to both the sufferer and their loved ones. The cause of its appearence and development can be traumatic situations, somatic diseases, abuse of psychotropic substances (drugs), seasonal depression ( lack of bright light in places with very cold weather), among other causes. The disorder is accompanied by decreased self-esteem, social maladjustment or inability to sustain interpersonal relationships (social isolation), loss of interest in usual activities, one's own life and environmental events.
Unfortunately, people are largely unaware of the typical manifestations and consequences of depression, so many patients receive help when the condition becomes prolonged and severe, and sometimes nothing is provided. In almost all developed countries, health services are concerned about the current situation and are making efforts to promote information about depression and how to treat it.
***Risk factors***
Depression is a disease that can occur due to stressful situations or without any predisposition, so it has not been possible to determine why it often occurs in apparently healthy people in an environment of complete well-being. But this does not prevent experienced psychotherapists from fighting the disorder and winning.
Some risk factors are:
Neurological diseases such as cancer, AIDS, diabetes mellitus among other somatic diseases. Also addiction to drugs and alcoholic beverages.
Stressful and traumatic situations such as the loss of a loved one, overwork, family conficts, conflicts in the work area and internally in the same person, negative environment.
Genetic predisposition, i.e. the presence of depression and other mental disorders in family members that are genetically inherited to descendants, significantly increasing the risk of developing the disease. Among other risk factors.
***How do I know if I have depression?***
The following are some of the most common symptoms that I particulary presented when my depression process began and during the development of the same. It is important to keep in mind that the symptoms are diverse and each patient may experience them in different ways depending on the level of the illness.
Depression is caused by a combination of factors that influence each other. Let us look at the different possible causes of depression and its most typical signs:
Feeling of depression and longing, which is present for a long time, anguish, suffering and oppression due to the loss of loved ones.
Loss of life goals, abandonment of favorite activities, social isolation.
Decreased energy, increased fatigue, lack of motivation, loss of strength.
Anxiety, feeling of inner tension, expectation of problems, irritability.
Dissatisfaction with oneself, decreased self-confidence, low self-esteem, anxiety and fear.
Sleep disturbance such as presence of insomnia, hasty awakening, and restless sleep, sleeping few hours or sleeping excessively.
Loss or excessive increase of appetite.
Decreased sexual desire.
General malaise with pain in various areas of the body.
Difficulty concentraing and making decisions.
Predominance of gloomy and negative thoughts about yourself, about your life.
Suicidal thoughts.
Frustration at the inability to meet very high demands of oneself.
***How to get out of depression?***
In the case of mild depression due to a stressful situation, it is not necessary to consult a doctor, it will help if you distract yourself at work or in a hobby, such as walking outdoors, listening to music, playing sports. In situations of moderate or severe depression it is advisable to seek medical help, through a combination of psychotherapy and medical treatment. A good psychotherapist can cope with pharmacological treatment. But in most cases, it is worth starting with psychological work; it will certainly be effective and give a good result!
A necessary condition for the effectiveness of treatment is cooperation with the doctor through strict adherence to the prescribed therapy regimen (adequate therapy allows in most cases to completely get rid of the symptoms of depression), regular visits to the doctor, and a detailed and honest description of the condition and the difficulties of life that affects you.
***How can you help yourself out of depression?***
In addition to the medical methods that are effective for the treatment of severe types of depression, such as depression with suicidal desires (obsession with suicide) or bipolar depression (severe changes in mood), there are other ways to complement the professional help that will allow you to get out of this difficult situation, among these techniques we can mention some:
- Healthy eating that allows you to feel good physically and be in a good mood. Chocolate is a good option but you should avoid excessive consumption as it can cause weight gain that could negatively affect self-esteem and increase depression. The diet should be rich in fruits and vegetables. Fast foods should be avoided as they tend to intoxicate the body.
- Go to bed at a certain time every night so that you can sleep at least 8 hours a day so that the body can rest fully. It is not recommended that before going to bed you watch movies or news with a negative charge; because it can cause nightmares and disturb your sleep.
- Do some physical activity as this is an excellent way to help get out of depression; therefore we must exercise daily to release endorphins, improve metabolism and oxygenate the body.
- Think positive thoughts at all times, do good deeds that help others, smile and focus only on the qualities of other people. If someone close to you is completely negative and toxic, walk away. Sometimes it is better to be alone than in bad company.
- Always do what you love, this will help you to be happy, recharge you with good energy and keep worries and negative thoughts away.
- Always be happy no matter the circumstances.
The Ghost woman of the High School
Hello my dear readers. It is a pleasure to be able to share once again with each of you another paranormal experience. The story I am about share with you happened to me when I was a 16-year-old teenager, a student in my last year of high school or junior high school as it Known in some countries. I was in the stage of adolescence, so I was curious, adventurous, very rebellious and did not listen to advice, I trougth I was the owner of the truth and the master of the world, but life had something in store for me that I would never forget. I assure you that what I am about to tell you, although it may seem unbelievable, is a 100% true story.
****The story****
I remember that in the high school where I studied there was a man whose name was Peter, who worked as night security, Peter and I had a good friendship, so on one occasion this man for personal reasons had to be absent from his work duties , so with the authorization of the director of the campus he asked me to relieve him of his work for the time he was going to be absent and in exchange he would pay me for the days worked, before this juicy offer to earn money I did not hesitate and without consulting with my mother accepted. That same night I had to start my eventual working day.
I should be noted that I studied from 8 in de morning until 5 in the afternoon, so that day after finishing classes Peter gave me the keys an gave me a small induction of the functions that I had to fulfill, then I returned home to rest a few hours and prepare to go meet my first working day.
When I got home, I told my mother that I would go to take care of the school, she was upset and reprimanded me for making decisions without her consent since I was a minor and was not responsible for my decisions, she responded with a resounding "**NO**", refusing to give me permission to go to fulfill my responsibilities as caretaker. Faced with my mother's refusal, I chose to use my manipulative skills by telling her that I couldn't be irresponsible, that I had already committed myself and had to comply, besides, Peter had already gone on a trip and the school shouldn't be left without a guard.
With my insistence and convincing arguments my mother had no other alternative but to let me go, bu she sentenced me with a **"I hope they scare you for being disibedient"** and sahe said it with such certainty and from the depths of her being, that the spirits listened to her and obeyed. From that night on, my life would never be the same again.
To contextualize the story I must say that I was born and raised in small town, and the high school is three blocks from my mother`s house, so from my house you can see the entrance of the school. Because of the small distance that exists from home to school that night I walked at about 10:30 at night to fulfill my part of the deal; the street was alone, illuminated only by two lanterns and the dim light of the moon, I arrived at the school door, I opened it and I entered what would be a night of fear and strange sensations that would be stored in my memory forever and every time I remember I feel Shivers and my skin crawls.
Once inside the educational institution I went to the room where the guard was staying, there was a single bed, a fan, a water dispenser, a small TV and bathroom. From the room you could see all the corridors of the school since it was in a central location, it also had four (4) windows, one on each side of the room It was 11:30 at night when I decided to lie down, I proceeded to undress, I took off my shoes, belt, watch and shirt, I see the alarm clock to ring at 5:00 in the morning, because the next day I had to accompany my aunt to do some business at the bank in the nearest town, located two (2) hours from town, I went to bed and slept soundly.
At approximately 12:30 a.m. I was awakened by noises that simulated people running and talking, I got out of bed in a hurry and looked out of the four (4) windows and saw no one, the noises stopped, so I did not give more importance because I assumed that the noise came from people walking down the street that is in front of the school. At the precise moment when everyting was calm I realized that I was perfectly dressed, with my shoes, belt and watch on, as if I was ready to go out. Beacuse I was a sleepwalker in my childhood I did not worry believing that I woke up in my sleep to get dressed. For the second time I undressed following the same process as the previous time, went back to bed and fell asleep.
After a few hours I heard noises again, I got up I looked through the windows and there was nobody there, I was perfectly dressed again, at that moment I felt very scared, panic took over me, but as a brave man I calmed down and for the second time I preferred to think that I got dressed while sleepwalking. I undressed for the third time, I lay down on the bed, I was in suspense and expectation for several minutes, but exhaustion overcame me and I fell asleep.
At five (5) in the morning the alarm clock worke me up, what a surprise! I was again with my shirt, shoes and watch on, at that moment I felt an terror, my legs were shaking and I felt suffocated with fear. It was not possible that for the third time the same thing happened, I managed to control my fear for a moment and with hands trembling I managed to open the door of the watchaman`s room and ran to the main exit, as I could opened the door and walked home a hurry.
I got home, my mother was still asleep, I took a shower, got dressed and went out to meet my aunt at the bus stop, whom I was going to accompany to the bank, during the morning and part of that day I didn´t want to think about what had happened. At 4 o`clock in the afternoon I returned home exhausted by the hustle and bustle, I sat down on the sofa to rest a litle, when my mother appeared annoyed and said to me: Scoundrel! Is that why you wanted to go babysit the school last night? I asked her, what do you want to tell me, mother? I don't know what you're talking about? He told me: last night I watched from the door of the house until I saw you enter the school and I saw when a barefoot woman, dressed in white, with long hair, came out of one of the corners and began to walk next to you on your right side. , and entered the school with you. Who was that woman?.
Before my mother's confession I was stunned, terror took hold of me and I suffered a drop in blood pressure, my worried mother told me what's wrong son? When I caught my breath I told her: Mother, no woman was going with me and I told her what happened that morning, she replied that you thought you were disobedient, surely it was the specter of the savannah that wanted to take you.
That night I did not go to carry out my work as a security guard. The next morning very early I went and returned the keys to the principal of the secondary school, I told her that my mother did not allow me to stay one more night. When Peter came back, I told him the same thing. However, the reality is that I did not want to repeat that chilling experience. From that moment I attended high school with fear and avoided at all costs being alone in the halls, that same year I finished my high school studies and never went back or visited that school.
After many years I still remember that episode of my life, I feel fear and my skin crawls. Today there is talk of the ghost of the high school, many have seen it and say that it is a woman who possibly studied there many years ago and her banshee continues to wander in that place without finding peace. Although it is inevitable to feel fear, I think that perhaps the ghost did not want to hurt me, he was protecting me and that is why he dressed me so insistently that night.
****Reflection**** **:** Rebellion and disobedience towards parents is not correct, we must listen to the advice of mom and dad to avoid going through difficult situations. Our parents have lived longer than us children, they have more experience about life, they seek our good and take care of us with love. Let's be obedient, honor your father and your mother and you will enjoy a long and abundant life. Be careful! a specter may be stalking you.

I send you greetings and a big hug! Remember that happiness is a choice, so always choose to be happy above all else. Bye!
I traveled to an enchanted place. Supernatural experience
Hello my dear readers! This story that I bring below happened to me many moons ago, when I was a child of only 9 (nine) years old, it has been an incredible experience, many doubt its veracity and comment that it was a product of my imagination; but I know it is not so, I really lived it and I treasure it in my heart and in my mind as an extraordinary memory.
First I to tell you that I was boorn and grew up in a small village in the plains region of Venezuela in 1989; I had a very happy childhood although with many material shortages but with a lot of love. My childhood was spent running around barefoot and in shorts around my house with bobby my faithful canine friend, missu my cat, among chickens and ducks, eating mangos and guavas with a big smile and a dirty face. I have gone off topic for a moment, but remembering my childhood excites me and transports me to those happy years.
Now I wil proceed to tell you about my supernatural experience. As I told you before, at the time of what happened I was nine years old, my beloved grandmother, may she rest in peace, sent me to do some shopping at a small store approximately 15 blocks from home, in those days the roads were land wrapped in a lot of vegetation, I don't remember exactly the time but it was very early in the morning before breakfast.
After doing the shopping and on the way home I had to pass in front of a lagoon, at that point I see a man standing on the shore of the small lake, he was impeccably dressed in traditional indigenous clothing, he smiled kindly at me and invited me to come closer to him, in my innocence and without hesitation I approached, he took me by the hand and submerged me in the lake, at that moment I observed that I was entering through a portal to another world, perhaps to an unknown dimension.
I remember that I arrived at a very well organized and beautiful indigenous community with a lot of gold everywhere, there was joy and many smiles on the faces of the people who were there, there was a party, dance and hubbub, and from children to the elderly everyone they looked very happy. A river of crystal clear water circulated through the town, I could see the fish swimming, there was food in abundance, any number of appetizing delicacies. I wanted to drink water from that river and delight in the delight of those dishes, when I decided to give free rein to my greedy desires, my aboriginal companion told me: **If you eat any food or drink water from that river you will stay here forever.**
From one moment to another everyone there began to seduce me with those delicacies and sweets of all kinds, doubt entered my brain, I was fighting against the fervent desire to wildly taste what was presented to me and stay there forever or reject everything and back home. As you can see, I am here sharing this experience with you, so it goes without saying that although the fight was difficult, I did not give in to the gluttonous instinct and preferred to return to my family. Will and love for my loved ones were stronger than desire. It was the most difficult decision at my young age but also the best one.
Rejecting all that with determination, the man returned me to the shores of the lagoon, I remember how I entered but not how I left, I was self-absorbed and absorbed in my thoughts about that magical adventure; I lasted like that for a long time. I thought I spent only a few minutes there but in reality it was many hours, I entered that unknown town in the morning and returned at sunset, my family had been looking for me for hours throughout the town and its surroundings but they found me standing there near the small lake.
When I came to, my grandmother and my mother strongly questioned me about my behavior and insistently asked me where I had been. Upon hearing the answer telling them what had happened, they told me don't be a liar, child, lies are from the devil and God doesn't care. liars like it, but I was reiterative with my answer to the point they told me; Forget it all that was a product of your imagination, but I never forgot it and I don't want to and I can't forget it; because it was a real experience.
As an adult I have commented on what happened but very few believe, most see it as fantasy and fiction because they find it hard to believe in magic, but I do believe.
**Reflection:** Never let yourself be seduced by desire or instincts, superficially they are sweet and appetizing but deep down they bring bitterness, always use reason but never stop believing in the magic of life. If you want to have prosperity in your life, think with your head and not with your stomach; because the stomach is usually the ruin of many.
Thanks for reading me, share with me in the comments what you think about what I am telling you, will it be real or the product of a great imagination.
I send you greetings and a big hug! Remember that happiness is a choice, so always choose to be happy above all else. Bye!
I dreamed that I had died
Hello my dear readers. Today I come to tell you about my experience about a strange dream I had a few moons ago, it was so lucid and real that it led me to reflect on what things I am doing wrong, what I have stopped doing and what I must change in my life. Life is short, the years pass quickly, in the blink of an eye old age arrives and the energy of our body is depleted, we lose strength. I invite you to live without reservations, being good people, doing extraordinary things, being respectful and tolerant, helping those who need it, fighting for our goals and dreams without giving up, so that in this way our existence has a purpose and we can leave a beautiful legacy in our families, in our environment and in the lives of those to whom we bring joy and happiness.
I proceed to tell you what I dreamed, it might seem like a nightmare but it is not like that, rather it is a reality that we have to keep in mind so that it motivates us to be better every day and to live intensely knowing that we are not immortal.
****The dream****
I dreamed that I had died and the worms ate me, there were some skinny ones, others fat and lush and I was a skeleton, I saw myself in so much trouble that I pressed them with my hands, I understood that it has to happen at any moment and that is how they will eat me, they are waiting for me since before birth and although it is difficult to believe that it happens, it will happen.
They ate my body and their leftovers became earth and there was not a strand left over time, I understood that there is no individual in the world who defends himself and is saved from this fateful end. There is not in the human race a powerful man who avoids being the favorite succulent bread of the worm and still remains a tyrant instead of being generous. The wicked man pretends to be innocent as if nothing had happened, without believing that death awaits him patiently, cadaverous, and no matter how wealthy he may be, he will arrive at the grave.
I also understood that millions will be worth nothing, neither weapons nor power if his body goes like a river rising in gushes between gluttonous worms that make a mess for him. The poor suffer for money and the rich have a bad life, because they want to be richer even if the poor are poorer, because they want to be doubly rich, even if the poor are a dregs.
After a long time of dreaming, I woke up agitated and very scared wondering if it was a simple dream or a sad reality.
****Reflection****
Now is the time to analyze whether it is worth mortifying ourselves and worrying about things that rob us of peace of mind and about events that may not happen. Let's not waste our lives looking for great treasures, I do not invite you to limit yourself in your purposes, but do not stop enjoying the present and the important things in life chasing utopias . Remember that with health and a few accommodations there is also happiness and we all live in peace.
Why greed if here we are just strangers walking paths without control or direction and money is an illusion that dulls the senses. Rather we must be understanding so that we are human and not become greedy and aggressive worms eating the most alive of the poor Christians. We must think that one day when we die we take nothing with us and we leave the wealth and the hubbub to others.
This is an anecdotal writing that helps us reflect on the meaning of our lives, for a moment ask yourself: **what is the purpose of my life? Because I am here? Does what I am currently doing make me happy? I am going on the right way? Do I feel good about myself and my surroundings? Do I spend quality time with my family and friends?** If you can honestly answer each of these questions, it is because you are doing the right thing, keep working on it and be happy yourself and make those who share with you and seek your happiness happy.
With this I do not intend to lead you to conformism, always fight for your goals and projects, seek financial freedom, never give up on your purposes, but enjoy every moment that life gives you, do not be in such a hurry, take small breaks, contemplate and enjoy the environment, do not lose the ability to surprise yourself, provide help to those who need it, be a child for a moment every day, play jump and laugh as if there were no time, share with your family, friends and partner, give and receive hugs that feed the soul and try every day to be a better person and a better human being. I send you greetings and a big hug!
Happiness is a choice, so always choose to be happy above all else.

How to overcome anxiety and fear in times of uncertainty?
For a long time I have suffered from anxiety and I write the following article based on my personal experience. Today I know how to control it and I share with you the techniques that help me overcome it. I hope that this content and my experience will be of great use to you.
Anxiety usually appears in moments of uncertainty and crisis, fear overwhelms us and we begin to somatize, manifesting physical discomfort such as dizziness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, a feeling of internal emptiness, sweating, trembling in the body and oppression in the chest. These symptoms could be perceived as a heart attack, but they are not! the symptoms are not real, it is a brain response to a situation of anguish and hopelessness.
Thus, there may also be other manifestations such as tingling in the upper and lower extremities, cramps, abdominal pain and nausea. Panic or anxiety attacks arrive at the least expected moment and usually without the influence of external factors, the duration time can be extended between 5 and 15 minutes. Terrifying thoughts appear like the following: I'm going to have a heart attack, I'm dying of suffocation from the sensation of suffocation or I'm going crazy; but do not worry, you are not dying or going crazy, panic attacks are not a real threat to life or health, you just have to know how to take care of yourself at that moment and what you can do to overcome the anguish.
To overcome anxiety and fear, it is important to know what is the cause of its appearance, it is usually a type of threat. First you have to verify that it is not a real threat and second you have to get rid of the fears that are exaggerated, feeding positive thoughts that refute the negative ones.
Among some of the techniques or methods that can help you are the following:
Sit comfortably, close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax your body, and stay that way for at least 2 minutes or until you are calm again. Try to inhale and exhale with intervals of 10 seconds, if it is not possible to maintain that rhythm, reduce the inhalations and exhalations according to your capacity, but the ideal is to maintain the indicated rhythm.
Eliminate negative thoughts with distraction, to do this do gestural exercises by opening and closing your eyes, inflating and deflating your cheeks, gently pinching and tapping on some areas of the body.
Play soft or instrumental music, lie down on the floor in a star or cross position, relax and concentrate on the melody you hear, this will help you calm down.
If you are accompanied by someone, sit next to him, hug him or take him by the hand. If you are alone, do not hesitate to ask for help, call someone on the phone and try to maintain and concentrate on a conversation.
Seek help from specialists if panic episodes recur constantly or if they last for a long time. Contact a professional who will give you guidance and give you the necessary recommendations to learn how to help yourself immediately when attacks occur.
To conclude, I recommend that you learn to vaccinate your mind with positive words, read self-help books, meditate, practice some physical or sports activity, interact with people who have similar ideas to yours, talk about what worries you to relieve internal tension. Do not be afraid of censorship or ridicule, help others who are in the same situation as you, write the story of your life in a diary or on any other topic that allows you to drain or vent your emotions.
Always decide to be happy regardless of the circumstances because nothing lasts forever, after the torrential rain the sun is reborn and remember that like you there are many people who are going through difficult situations of fear, anguish and uncertainty. Be brave and you will be victorious or victorious.
