Battling Dengue, a terrible disease.
The reappearance and incidence of dengue in Venezuela is really worrying. That which begins with a fever, which is generally not given adequate attention, can lead to a more delicate situation and even death. Those who are most at risk with the presence of the disease are children and the elderly; however, dengue has no age preferences when attacking.
Both children, adults and the elderly, it can attack us all equally, do we really know what to do if symptoms appear?
The disease transmitted by the bite of the well-known "white-legged" mosquito (Aedes aegypti, with white rings on its legs) is of viral origin and usually manifests itself in two forms: classic dengue and hemorrhagic dengue, its most lethal form. To avoid complications, it is advisable to seek medical assistance when the first symptoms are detected, this reduces the chances of hemorrhages and fatal shocks.
The only way to prevent it is to avoid being bitten by one of these mosquitoes since there are no vaccines against the virus. We suggest you then, that you fumigate your home; use insecticides around you; spray your skin with repellants and baby oil; ingest vitamin B and use a mosquito net.
You should also avoid any accumulation of garbage and water at home or in the surroundings; If you have stored water, keep it covered to prevent mosquito breeding.
Check if the rain pools in your garden or if that water plant that adorns your room is not full of larvae (as far as possible, substitute water for soil).
****Check it out!****
*The most dangerous thing about dengue is that it can be confused with the flu or with a febrile and infectious disease such as measles. The presence of a high fever for more than two days, severe headaches, swollen glands in the neck, pain in the eyes and muscles, diarrhea, loss of appetite, red rashes on the chest and legs, and nausea and vomiting probably indicate that you have dengue.*
*If, in addition, these symptoms are accompanied by persistent stomach pain, pale and cold skin, swollen face, nose and mouth bleeds, bloody vomiting, insomnia, crying, uncontrollable thirst, rapid pulse, depression, fainting and difficult breathing, then It is a dangerous dengue hemorrhagic fever.*
**If you have symptoms ...**
*Run to the doctor! The important thing is to make a diagnosis on time, although we know that a medical consultation does not cost less than $ 20 is the only way to fight the disease, applying the appropriate treatment. He will tell you what to do, never self-medicate. Be careful with aspirin, as they are counterproductive in this case, they can cause bleeding or worsen existing ones.*
*From my own experience I can recommend you not to self-medicate, this can further harm our health, our life.*
*It is also recommended absolute rest, and a large consumption of fluids, preferably water and serum to avoid dehydration. Likewise, it is advisable to keep the patient isolated, with mosquito nets or metal meshes, so that the mosquito does not bite him again, since the patient could spread this disease to those close to him.*
*Despite not being in optimal conditions, going from disease to disease, here I am standing, to continue fighting, for me and all of us. Giving my best, and continuing to adopt our BitcoinCash currency. Who, day by day, continues to show us how successful and powerful he is.*
Thank you for reading!!! Remember dengue can be avoided!!!
After a long time without being able to dedicate myself to something that I am as passionate about as Read.cash I have returned. I have returned with the batteries charged. After thanking God so many times for allowing me to overcome this terrible disease. This allowed me to value my family, friends, acquaintances much more. Even though I had to spend all my savings from BitcoinCash, here I am hitting it again hard to achieve one of my goals to reach 1 BCH this year.
Children are also good warriors amid this Covid19 pandemic.
I lost a year with my son fighting for school but today, I have decided to end it.
My nine year old son and I were in the middle of our usual daytime battle of asynchronous classes. He had his writing assignment in hand, he had written several well thought out complete sentences. But he wouldn't have done it right the first time, at least not without a fight.
Suddenly I told him that he didn't have to write about his best day as requested by his teacher, he could write about his worst day. What's more, he could write about whatever he wanted as long as he wrote a few sentences.
He said that he would get in trouble if he did that and he started saying that he was doing everything wrong, that nothing was going right for him. He was on the verge of tears, but he didn't know why.
And then I realized.
And instead of getting frustrated and pushing him and forcing him to do his homework, I sat down with him at his desk.
I told him “you won't get in trouble and you won't fail third grade. In fact, I told him, you are a kind of superhero. "
He settled slightly in his chair and looked at me incredulously.
I said, “Do you know that no child in the history of children has had to do what you are doing now?
“No child in the history of children has had to do school at home, sitting on their bed, at the dining room table or at any desk, watching their teacher and his classmates through a computer. You and your friends are making history.
It was evident that I took a weight off his nine-year-old's shoulders off of him.
"What does that mean?"
I told him it meant that he hadn't given her enough credit for putting up with Mom's inexperience. I told him how proud I am of him and his friends. That the children this year are doing the impossible and doing a really great job.
I apologized to him for not telling him earlier and more often.
A small tear fell down his cheek.
We have thanked everyone from healthcare workers to store clerks, but we have not thanked the children enough for carrying the burden of what we have put on his shoulders this year.
We have said that children are resilient, and they are. But they are the real superheroes in this whole scenario for not being able to decide, to do, to go out and yet they are doing their best to adapt every day.
This was supposed to be temporary and here we are a year later still trying to keep our heads above water.
This is our home and I will no longer make it a battlefield for something we cannot control. Something that no longer makes sense.
A year later I understood.
That is why I say to you from the heart, hug your little superheroes today and do not forget to give them the love, courage and recognition that we have given to all the others.
Great myths about chocolate.
***Are you one of those who think that a food as rich as chocolate must necessarily be harmful to the body? Well don't believe it.***
***Many myths have been woven about chocolate, some better known than others, but with one detail in common: none has a solid basis in reality.***
***For your peace of mind, read the following information and you will see that you will not feel unhappy with yourself again the next time you feel like trying a chocolate, or savoring a bar, a caramel or a piece of chocolate cake.***
*****Myth:***** chocolate is one of the main causes of acne.
*****Fact:***** The most recent studies show that chocolate has absolutely nothing to do with acne (and it's good to note in passing that sugar and candy don't cause it either). Acne, it is now known, is basically a physiological disorder related to hormones and the bloodstream. When the sebaceous glands of the skin produce too much oil due to hormonal changes, the pores get clogged with it and can even become infected causing blackheads and other blemishes typical of acne. And by the way, contrary to general belief, there is no scientific basis to conclusively prove that fat consumed as part of the daily diet can be transmitted to the surface of the skin via the bloodstream.
*****Myth:***** chocolate causes tooth decay.
*****Fact:***** Although certain tooth diseases (such as cavities) can be related to food, they also have a lot to do with a person's genetic makeup and oral hygiene. The most harmful foods in this regard are those that tend to adhere to the teeth, unless they are carefully brushed immediately after eating. Actually, milk chocolate bars generally have a component that blocks plaque production, considered the first step in tooth decay. What's more, cocoa butter makes the mouth clean itself quickly after eating a chocolate bar, reducing the development of cavities and other dental disorders.
*****Myth:***** chocolate is high in caffeine.
*****Fact:***** Manufacturers generally don't add caffeine to chocolate candy. Caffeine is found naturally in the cocoa bean, but only in small amounts. For example, a 30g (approximately 1 ounce) bar of chocolate has about 6 mg of caffeine, a very small amount compared to that in a can of cola (Between 32 and 65 mg), or a 150 g (about 5 oz) cup of coffee, which contains 40 to 108 mg.
*****Myth:***** chocolate has a very high cholesterol level.
*****Reality:***** milk chocolate bars contain a small amount of cholesterol, precisely due to the presence of milk. This amount is about 10 mg, about a third of the amount found in a glass of whole milk. On the other hand, cocoa, or dark chocolate powder, has a very low fat content. It is precisely for this reason that it is recommended to use it in the preparation of chocolate-based desserts intended for people who follow a low-fat diet.
*****Myth:***** chocolate is high in sodium.
*****Fact:***** a milk chocolate bar contains only about 45 mg of sodium. This ingredient is found in much higher amounts in other foods that are consumed on a daily basis. For example, a cup of whole milk contains 122 mg of sodium; a slice of whole wheat bread, about 132 mg; 30 g (about 1 ounce) Swiss cheese, about 440 mg.
**I love chocolate and you? A good chocolate while I work with BCH how delicious ...!**
The effects of food on the mood.
***For some time it has been believed that certain foods produce certain effects on the mood of the human being. And some of them are simple myths that are worth trying to unravel.***
The fact that food influences behavior and mood is not new. Dr. Simon Young publishes a curious article in it explaining how these effects occur. It highlights that many ideas in this regard have no scientific basis and that, on the contrary, there are properties of micronutrients that have not been explored.
*****Tryptophan*****
It is used to relieve mild or moderate depression, as it is a precursor of serotonin (a neurotransmitter involved in mood). It cures insomnia and has been used successfully against pain.
Recently, it has been applied in aggressive behavior therapies (the lack of serotonin causes this effect) and dysphoric premenstrual disorder, characterized by irritability and mood swings in the days before the rule.
Tryptophan is found in animal products. However, to end depression it is better to take it in pills. The reason is that this amino acid shares the transport system to the brain with other larger ones, so it is usually relegated.
In addition, most of the foods that contain it are rich in proteins and these substances inhibit the increase of tryptophan in the brain. It should also be borne in mind that, to metabolize it, magnesium and vitamin B6 must be within normal limits (If not, their consumption does not make sense).
*****Folates*****
These compounds, which are difficult to obtain in the diet (since large amounts of foods that contain them have to be taken) have also been associated with depressive states due to their condition as precursors of
adenosylmethionine. 30% of depressed patients have deficiencies in this element.
Thus, recovering the level of folates (and, consequently, adenosylmethionine) favors the improvement of the patient. However, those affected who do not lack these nutrients will have to resort to other strategies. Folates are in spinach, legumes, orange juice, and fortified foods, such as pasta, cereals, and bread.
*****Carbohydrates*****
There is no scientific reason to believe that pasta, rice, potatoes or bread improve mood. Although some experiments with rats reveal that carbohydrates cause calm and sedation, the truth is that you cannot speak of good mood.
Young, states that rodents eat much more (in proportion to their weight) than humans and, therefore, the results are not applicable to our species. Furthermore, although carbohydrates raised serotonin and, consequently, humor, the fact is that they are usually taken with proteins, which cancels this effect. Only if the protein content is less than 4% do the amounts of serotonin rise in the brain, but normal meals do not have such a low proportion.
*****Glucose*****
Young debunks the theory, held for years, that excess glucose causes irritability and hyperactivity in children.
Reducing the amount of sugar that the little ones eat is good, although for nutritional reasons.
Interestingly, it is often the case of children who appease their behavior by taking less sugar but not because of this fact in itself, but because the mother is more aware of her diet (and of them in short) and then they behave better. On the other hand, according to several studies, sucrose (another type of sugar) has an analgesic and calming effect in babies.
*****Fats*****
Omega 3 fatty acids (present in fish) have a positive effect on pathologies such as bipolar disorder. Its possible role in schizophrenia is being investigated, but conclusive results have not yet been obtained
Everyday female annoyances.
*****It is believed that 75% of women have suffered from at least one episode of vaginal infection. Many even suffer it without even realizing it. Others, on the contrary, become obsessed with the issue and abuse mediation.*****
The figures are clear and allow us to say that most women have gone through the annoying and uncomfortable moments that intimate infections cause. Unfortunately, the percentage of women who are completely uninformed or who handle wrong data about this important topic is also very high.
As a consequence, many are totally neglected in terms of the care they must have with their external genitalia or, believing that they know them all, choose inappropriate drugs for the condition they present.
Self medication is the opposite, the main medical problem that health professionals currently deal with. The number of diseases that have become resistant to traditional treatments for this cause is alarming. And, in this sense, infectious diseases are the most uncontrollable, since there is a limited number of drugs to treat them. In the specific case of vaginal infections. One of the factors that has contributed to this problem is the ease of acquiring antifungal medications.
The patient believes that because once the specialist prescribed it for her, and it took effect, she can continue using it without being sure that she has the same pathology. There are also those who think that the slightest change in the flow is due to an infection and they rush to buy any egg or cream and do not realize that the flow tends to be different depending on the changes in the menstrual cycle. "
And while it is true that visiting the gynecologist is not what women enjoy the most, there is no other way to ensure responsible care of sexual and reproductive health. Even the doctor himself, no matter how experienced he may have, can venture to give a definitive diagnosis just by listening to the patient; In order to do this, he needs to perform certain tests and analyze them in the laboratory.
*****Not so candid*****
Of the different types of intimate infections, it can be said that candidiasis is the most common of all. It is caused by a fungus known as Candida albicans, which is normally found as normal vaginal flora in an inactive form without causing discharge. The beneficial bacteria, called Lactobacillus, present in the vagina, prevent candida from proliferating and causing problems; however, this ecosystem is very sensitive and can be modified for many reasons.
When this happens, this fungus begins to develop and causes symptoms such as lumpy white discharge (similar to cut milk), intense itching and inflammation of the internal and external areas of the vagina.
"At present we are observing that, although this was one of the easiest intimate infections to treat. There are many cases of recurrence (recurrence of the disease shortly after convalescence) and resistance to traditional treatments, which They are usually with fungicidal creams or ovules belonging to the group of
imidazoles and triazoles. Cases range from women who, after one, three or seven days of medication, return to present the yeast infection, to those who never completely improved. Added to this situation is the fact that we are finding the presence of more resistant strains such as Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis and Candida subtropicalis, which are very difficult to treat with the usual antifungals ".
*****Other annoyances*****
Apart from vaginal infections caused by fungi, there are those due to bacteria, parasites and viruses, which are also often recurrent. To determine the etiological agent responsible for the disease, it is necessary to carry out tests such as a culture, which consists of the extraction of a small sample of vaginal cells that, later, are sent to the laboratory to be analyzed under a microscope. With the result in hand, the specialist will be able to tell what the vaginitis is due to.
A bacterium called Gardnerella vaginalis is responsible for a discomfort that causes a moderate to heavy discharge, with a very unpleasant smell (like rotten fish) and white or grayish color.
The patient may also experience burning or itching in the vagina. The exact reasons for the growth of this bacteria are unknown, but contagion is believed to occur through sexual contact. Treatment usually consists of the prescription of oral drugs and locally placed ovules. Complications of this infection include interference with the normal development of pregnancy and an increased chance of getting a serious pelvic infection.
The Trichomonas vaginalis parasite generates an intectious picture very similar to of the Gardnerella. The symptoms are almost the same; however, some differences may be observed in vaginal discharge, which is usually frothy and yellow-green in color. Its contagion is also sexually and can proliferate after menstruation due to the change in the level of acidity in the vagina. If it is not cared for properly and promptly, it can cause acute vaginitis.
Additionally, there are two sexually transmitted diseases exclusively chlamydia and gonorrhea that, in the same way, cause vaginal discharge. These are conditions of the cervix that can present without symptoms. Both pathologies, as might be expected, require to be treated with specific antibiotics.
*****A new ally*****
Currently a group of specialists is conducting a clinical study in the main health centers of the metropolitan area to demonstrate the efficacy of a new drug that, in other countries, has reported very positive results.
It is a medicine whose active substance is sertaconazole nitrate.
Apparently, in addition to being effective in the treatment of infections caused by fungi such as candidiasis and its more resistant strains, it has also shown an important action as a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, characteristics that could favor the control of other vaginal conditions that can occur in parallel with the candidiasis
The gynecologist notes that in addition to having the endorsement of studies carried out in other countries, it is of great importance to be able to have own data where the subject of study has been the Venezuelan woman, sponsored by local laboratories, which serve as support to verify the benefits of this drug.
*****Natural help*****
There are always those who want to reinforce the action of drugs with natural substances that do not represent any danger to health. Suggested options include:
Boric acid ovules. These help to keep the ph of the vagina balanced, which should not be higher than four. According to a study of 100 in women with chronic yeast vaginitis, 98% responded successfully to 600 mg egg treatment for two weeks.
The yogurt. Other research has reported that women who consumed at least one yogurt a day had a considerable decrease in the incidence of vaginal yeast infections.
Echinacea. This natural antibiotic, as many call it, has also shown beneficial effects in the treatment of candidiasis.
*****Recommendations*****
Wear cotton underwear, avoid synthetic fibers that increase the temperature of the pelvic area. To prevent bacteria in the stool from colonizing the vagina, every time you go to the bathroom, wipe from front to back and not the other way around.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting pants, nylon stockings, or wet bathing suits for long hours. Intimate hygiene does not require the use of vaginal douches, on the contrary, they are counterproductive, as they sweep away beneficial bacteria and alter the natural pH. For cleaning, the use of a neutral soap on the external area of the vagina is enough.
If you require or are used to using daily wipes, prefer the simple ones that lack perfumes and other attachments such as talc. Try to have only one sexual partner and do not forget to take all the safety measures, such as the use of a condom.
Keep your stress levels under control, as prolonged stress tends to affect the immune system and, therefore, make it more vulnerable to infectious diseases.
*****Normal characteristics*****
A healthy woman can also have vaginal discharge. Small amounts of fluid are secreted from the vagina and uterus to sweep away the old cells that line their walls. In this way the area is kept clean and healthy.
This discharge is clear or milky, but does not have a bad odor. The appearance of this flow usually varies with changes in the menstrual cycle. It becomes thicker and stickier, like a kind of mucus, during the ovulation phase. This is a mechanism to promote a pregnancy while the ovum is ready to be fertilized.
Orlistat Remedy for type 2 diabetes
***Patients with this type of diabetes, who are overweight in 80% of cases, have in this new therapeutic weapon a great help to reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and, incidentally, can maintain a stable weight.***
Patients with type 2 diabetes, who ingested this miracle drug, have managed to maintain weight loss and, at the same time, reduce the risk of cardiovascular accidents.
Medicine is advancing by leaps and bounds and in the framework of the Seventeenth Congress of the International Diabetes Federation, two studies were revealed that demonstrated that Orlistat is an effective agent in the management of overweight in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. The studies observed the effect of the combination of Orlistat with diet in patients who, in addition, were under regular treatment with insulin.
This therapeutic weapon, inhibitor of pancreatic lipase, significantly helps in weight loss in patients with this disease, who have great difficulty in reducing their weight. In addition, this drug has been shown to improve long-term control of sugar levels, this being the main goal of treatment for people with diabetes. Orlistat has also been found to lead to a reduction in the dose of antidiabetic medication and an improvement in blood lipid levels.
Diabetic patients with overweight.
Weight is the most important and modifiable risk factor in patients with diabetes. Some of the drugs used to control this disease can cause an increase in the weight of the patient, which is harmful. A weight loss between 5 and 10% improves glycemic control and other very common cardiovascular risk factors in people with this type of condition.
According to Dr. Romano Nosadini, professor of endocrinology and metabolic diseases at the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Sassari in Pádova (Italy), there is evidence showing that Orlistat is the panacea for patients with type 2 diabetes to manage their unwanted overweight.
In the study that was carried out in type 2 diabetic patients who are treated with insulin and who are overweight, it was shown that those who were treated with this therapeutic weapon presented a significant improvement in the control of glycemic levels, based on HbAlc levels. in the blood. Furthermore, patients given Orlistat had a greater reduction in their daily insulin dose, compared to people in the control group.
**Type 2 diabetes an expanding epidemic**
About 140 million people in the world (out of a total of six billion) suffer from diabetes in the world. 80% of them are overweight. If these numbers continue to rise, they could double to 300 million people by 2025, having a very important impact on increasing morbidity and mortality, as well as increasing the pressure on public health systems.
A healthy and balanced diet, as natural as possible, plus intake of Orlistat, will help diabetics lead a life without complications.
Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder, the result of the human body's inability to respond adequately to the action of insulin (insulin resistance) produced by the pancreas.
This occurs most commonly in adults and is the most common form of diabetes, with approximately 90-95% of the world's diabetes cases.
Diabetes is a lifelong condition that requires very special care. If not treated properly, it can cause heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, loss of vision, and upper or lower limb amputations, in the most extreme case.
People with type 2 diabetes are up to 25% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease, "experts say and believe that weight control with Orlistat may have the potential to reduce cardiovascular risks associated with excess weight and type 2 diabetes.
**Challenges in weight loss**
A balanced and healthy diet, along with an exercise plan, are generally the first interventions in overweight patients with diabetes.
However, very few overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes can achieve and maintain clinically beneficial weight loss through diet and exercise. These weight loss challenges are generally due to poor eating patterns and poor food choices, "as well as a sedentary lifestyle.
Consequently, you should eat healthier, more vegetables, salads, fruits, fish and grilled chicken, drink plenty of water, in addition to consuming Orlistat which, until now, has been proven to reduce overweight in people with type diabetes 2.
We wear those gray hair with pride, do we accept or hide?
***They are not necessarily a sign of aging, although many fear their appearance.***
Hair has always felt a great meaning for people, as indicated by the traditions of some cultures and the leading role it keeps in world fashion trends.
Formerly some civilizations attributed a special hierarchy to those who wore their gray heads as a symbol of experience, knowledge and wisdom. Today, especially in urban populations, this is not the case and there are those who suffer great anguish at the sudden appearance of white and gray hair. What is the responsible mechanism and what to do when this happens? We have consulted three experts in the field who will help dispel doubts and understand that when that happens, beauty is not lost.
***Where is the key?***
Gray hair appears as a consequence of the loss of melamine, a pigment that determines the color of our skin, hair, and eye choroids. Its absence is due to several factors, some of them are:
****Genetics:**** It is the most important factor in the appearance of gray hair. The genetic load determines our physical characteristics and that is why they all express themselves physically very similar to their parents.
****Aging******:** as time passes, capillary changes occur and the ethnic group also plays an important role. In this sense, Caucasians are those with gray hair at the earliest age near 30 years, followed by Asians at 40 and, finally, Afro-descendants, who advantageously retain their color until after 40 years.
****Stress:**** apparently those who are subjected to continuous stressful situations are more prone to gray hair and although the mechanism is not fully understood, it has been related to possible hormonal problems.
****Diet:**** the lack of certain nutrients such as iron, silica, zinc or copper and the deficiency of vitamins such as thiamine and riboflabin have also been related
****Diseases:**** There are several associated pathological conditions, including hypothyroidism, pernicious anemia and vitiligo.
****Aesthetics:**** frequent washing of the hair with hot water, excessive use of the electric dryer and / or irons, among other mechanisms, weaken the hair and, generally, accompany the appearance of gray hair.
*Strategies for living with gray hair*
The fact that some people are more or less distressed because their hair is dyed white or silver, often depends on paradigms imposed by society on the concept of beauty.
For a woman to show off her gray hair, especially when she is still young, challenges that model according to which men with gray hair look more interesting and women simply look older. Those paradigms have been changing little by little.
However, there are those who easily opt for white as a sign of identity and category, even bleaching their hair without any complex. For those who are not satisfied there are aesthetic alternatives that do not necessarily obey the complete dyeing of the hair.
The renowned stylist FernándezIt is important to connect with the person, their tastes and the characteristics of their hair to achieve the desired results. He got the inspiration to reflect in the hair, colors similar to certain stones such as the tiger's eye, citrine and infinity of agates, in which I observe various tones and shapes.
What it does is to emphasize in light color the sectors with a lot of gray hair and in dark those that have few gray hair. In this way, he has managed to create solutions using different techniques and dyes with state of the art technology, in addition to knowledge about how colors act on our mood.
And for gentlemen, he recommends not dyeing completely, at once, since the contrast would be very obvious and artificial on a gray haired person.
*"It is advisable to do a number of highlights if you want to hide the silver or white tone and then gradually increase them. To do this, he suggests mixing with the natural brown color is ideal, even in young people who have appeared early on. gray hair and do not want to show it off completely "*
Hair care is essential, since its weakening and gray hair go hand in hand, that is why it is important to choose quality and personalized products, perform hair massages that stimulate blood circulation, avoid sources of direct intense heat, such as constant use with improper drying and ironing techniques, avoid hot water for washing and not smoking, as smoking has been linked to the premature appearance of gray hair.
And as always, the main thing to be taken into account is to look natural and that the personality goes ahead with or without gray hair. has been using a personalized design technique for several decades, which combines her knowledge of the technique The color of your beauty and chromotherapy, feng shui and crystal therapy, as tools to achieve the ideal look for her clients, whether they are ladies or gentlemen.
Your confidant a man Why not?
***The prejudices towards friendship between a man and a woman are usually based on the traditional way of raising children, with strict separation of the sexes.***
The idea that the only possible relationship between a man and a woman is a loving one is not only outdated, but it doesn't match reality. On the contrary: as there is a "disinterest, declared or explicit, on both sides, men and women feel more comfortable; the role that society has assigned them passes for the moment to a secondary, distant plane, and both she and he can manifest as they really are, with complete freedom.
The prejudices towards friendship and only friendship between a man and a woman are usually based on the traditional way of raising children, often with strict separation between the sexes. This ignorance of the way men feel, act and react, gives women a distorted vision of reality. For the "old-fashioned" raised woman, men will fall into two extreme categories: the exemplary man, who deserves all their devotion and respect ... and the ordinary jerk who deserves only mockery and sarcasm. Whether you consider it a superior being, or if you consider it interior design, none of these forms suggest fairness and companionship in dealing.
Men are not all heroes and not all fools. Men are people, like us, and many of them as sensitive or more than our friends can be.
And this is the first great advantage of cultivating a man's friendship: women who still suffer from that distorted image, in one sense or another, will begin to understand through a friend that men are not some mysterious arcana.
They will lose their fear of male proximity! And the relationships with your boyfriend or her husband will become healthier and more natural ... But there are also other advantages.
This silent current of sympathy and attraction experienced by the person of one sex in front of another of the opposite sex, although it is not expressed in loving terms, is a source of energy and joy for both men and women.
That mysterious "electricity that flows from one to the other, confirms that we are attractive, vital ... and the same thing happens to men. When we go through an emotional crisis because a romantic relationship has disappointed us, men have the power to.
Men comfort, but in a different way than women do, and many psychologists consider this to be more effective. Instead of sitting in front of us hour after hour to listen to our problems, the men will encourage us to go out, to accompany them, to share activities with them, which may vary between the opera or a tennis match, according to their tastes and the our staff.
In a stage of life in which the woman for whatever reason is alone, the company of a friend is saving, so as not to have to appear alone at parties, at the theater, in a simple outing to the cinema. The man who accompanies a woman gives her security, and you can stay on the street until late if you wish, in the confidence that they will accompany you back to your home, safe and sound.
Since no romantic ties unite them, through a friend you can meet other equally interesting men, but who do potentially represent your future partner.
*****Friends or partner?*****
What we said before does not mean that the friend is a kind of "substitute for the man in your life in which the place is vacant. That is not healthy or sincere ... although unfortunately, many times it happens that way.
Many women think that a kind of taboo falls on other men from the moment they get married. Some fear falling into the language of their neighbors; others do not want to provoke the husband's jealousy; others are actually terrified of becoming too romantically involved with the friend ... and jeopardizing their marriage.
The reality is the opposite: a friend can help make the marriage go much better. For example, on the friend can fall functions that the husband detests. Let's suppose that the husband hates ballet, and that one of the reasons for conflicts between the couple is that she feels kidnapped, away from everything that interested her before and from the bears she used to enjoy ... here is the friend, to accompany her to that special performance by a famous dancer whose very mention turns her husband's stomach.
*****A friend*****
Because in fact, human beings have many needs, varied and complex. The husband represents love and security in a woman's life. But a friend can represent the intellectual stimulus necessary for our mind to continue cultivating.
Unless you are an incarnation of Othello, if you have given enough reasons and assurances, your husband will understand that there is nothing wrong with your being distracted. Anyway, look in these same pages for a few suggestions on how to behave towards a male friend, especially if you are married, so that no one is mocked or offended and you and everyone feel happy. These suggestions are endorsed by notable American psychologists.
*****Friends and the profession or the job*****
Having friends is the best "school" for a woman to get ahead in her job or profession. In a recent study among the 50 women who held the highest management positions in California, all declared that there had been a friend, a man, who opened the doors to success. All also, from childhood, were used to having friends of both sexes. And this knowledge of men, as people, made it easier to know how to relate to them and find them at the level of colleagues.
Indeed, even if we read all the books that have been published in the world about the performance of professions and business, we would not learn as much as having a friend in those fields. Simply because not everything that is known is written.
The world of work has only recently opened up to women, and there are, as in all fields, things that are taken for granted, procedures dictated by practice, etc., with which men have long been familiar. centuries. Falling into that world, without the guidance of one of the "insiders" would make progress very difficult, if not impossible. Involuntarily, the woman may be violating one of those "unwritten laws" and earning the enmity of her partners.
Men, accustomed to tough competition, have a very direct way of advancing towards their goals, and can transmit to women that impulse to never stop in intermediate positions, even if they are "pleasant", but to continually strive to reach the highest . They can communicate part of their confident, bold and aggressive attitude to us.
When arriving at a new job, the support of a friend can be decisive. In all companies there is a secret structure with which you will have to deal, in ignorance, while you get to unravel it: who are allies, who are enemies, who is really in charge, who is responsible for getting things done, who is the troublemaker of the group, who is the boss's favorite, who has his position in danger ... A sincere friend can help you unravel these little intrigues, saving you time and stumbles.
But, the real and main reason we should have male friends is ... because they need us! In the same type of study mentioned, carried out this time among businessmen, it turned out that men trust women more, because they see less spirit of competition in them, and prefer to consult all their problems with a friend, a colleague, and not with friends or partners of your gender.
***What more could one wish for?*** Appreciating and esteeming each other, women and men, as friends, have at their disposal the security, affection, and all the emotional and practical advantages of someone who shares a solid human relationship. Which on a large scale translates into a world with less loneliness and greater happiness for all, men and women.
*****How to make Friendship*****
Frequent places where people who have the same tastes meet. The strongest and most lasting friendships are based on a common interest.
From the beginning, mention your husband to your boyfriend with affection, so that it is clear that what interests you about her is only her friendship. Avoid, of course, anything that may seem flirtatious. At the beginning of the friendship, focus only on the interest or interests that you have in common, and save the conversations of personal matters for later, if they become intimate.
Do not always start from the assumption that she may have ulterior motives. Many women fall into the error of thinking that men only address them for romantic purposes. There are all kinds of men, just as there are all kinds of women.
*****How to dissipate your partner`s zeals*****
If your boyfriend or husband thinks there is no room for other men in your life, try to convince her, in these simple ways:
Do not keep it secret that you have one or more friends who are men. Talk about this with your partner so that the anxiety you may feel can lessen. Only limited information is what produces mistrust.
Make sure you don't give your friend energy and attention that you deprive your husband of. Your partner has to be the central focus of your attention, interest, and passion at all times, of course.
Pass on any positive comments your friend makes about her to your husband.
If your husband arrives, and you are talking to your friend, don't cut the thread of the conversation right away. Carry on for a bit and then tell your husband what you were talking about so she can join the conversation.
*****How to maintain friendship*****
Do not completely reject the friendship of a man who has shown you a love interest, if you do not feel the same way. That friendship can be saved if you discuss the matter openly with him. Explain your position to him and let him know that you deeply appreciate him as a friend, but nothing more. It may be that he agrees to continue the friendship, because what would actually make it impossible is for each of you to secretly have a different idea of how those relationships are going to develop in the future.
Don't forget that with men, as with women, there are various levels of friendship. There are friends of the same profession or those who work with you; acquaintances with whom activities are shared; and close, faithful friends with whom you can vent your heart. Only time tells where each one will be placed.
Treat your friends with the same attention and affection that you show your friends. Men are just as emotional, sentimental, and romantic as women. So send him flowers for his birthday, call him if you suspect he is depressed and make him feel that you care for him and think that he is a wonderful person.
The studious, the naughty, the sexy, is wearing the label of her childhood?
**You can say that we were all put our labels or stereotypes as we grew up. Now that we are adults, we refer a little to those memories, but the truth is that we cannot deny their perpetual influence on our self esteem, on our love life, on our work life and, perhaps most painful, on our lives. as mothers.**
All these labels reflect, in a way, both our innate talents and our quirks. But they are generally determined by external factors. They are almost always born from the expectations of our parents, their desires, their anxieties.
Good or bad, they reflect family experiences and attitudes, projected onto children. Parents who place great emphasis on intelligence, can describe their children as: the little genius, while those who value muscles above all, consider the first jump that their child takes as an unequivocal sign that he will be "the athlete of the year.
**The studious:** Since she was a child, she has earned this nickname for her thick glasses and for always carrying study books under her arm.
**The naughty:** has always been playful, loud, outgoing. It has passed from childhood to adulthood without making any changes to it .
**The sexy:** her languid and dreamy look marked her since she was a child with this sensual nickname.
From the moment that Maria came home with the first cartoon at the age of four, her mother began calling her "my little artist. Actually, her mother had chosen the name Maria in honor of the mother's maternal grandmother. I was a little girl, who had been a well known painter. I always liked art, but in my high school years I also excelled in history. And I dreamed of doing something in that field, remembers María, who is now 34 years old and a sculptor. Yes mother I wouldn't have been pushed towards art with such force, I don't think I would have opted for that activity.
Despite these words, Maria does not regret what has happened in her life. She may not be a world famous artist, but she sells her work without problems and she thoroughly enjoys the flexibility of her artistic career.
Also, she was at art school where she met who is now her husband. Anyway, when it comes to educating her son, who is now eight years old, she Maria tries to be attentive to all his manifestations. "For now he is totally devoted to animals. He says he wants to be a vet ... So we talked about it. He also likes to draw, but I will not be the one who will incline him to decide whether he wants to be a vet or an artist."
A family affair:
Positive or negative, labels always tilt us in a certain direction, sometimes even before we are able to walk. It is common in families that each of the children receives a particular label, so that they play a different role. "I'm the extrovert," says Luisa, 39. "When I was a child, my mother always tried to make me a very sociable and popular girl.
Luisa was always the homebody, and her younger brother the idealist.
For all these reasons, no one was surprised that Luisa was the first to leave the house. At present, she is the one who has achieved the most achievements in her professional career. She is a medical administrator for a large company. Meanwhile, "the idealist" still does not have a steady job, despite having turned 42. "My brother lives close to my parents and uses them a lot, both financially and emotionally. He has been divorced twice and continues to search for the perfect partner: a woman who is the ideal prototype of romance and passion. In reality, he lives like if I were still a teenager. " And, faithfully following the script that was written since she was a child, the homebody has found "the perfect husband. She has three children and lives in a nice house in the suburbs of the city, close to her parents." I think my father he pushed me out into the world too easily, "says Luisa." He even put me in kindergarten a year earlier. "
Luisa remembers a summer day in which practically the whole family had gathered: uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins, "I was eight years old then. They hired a photographer that day, but they had invited me to spend the weekend week at a friend's house. My mother told me that I should go, now, whenever someone in the family sees that photo, the joke arises about how they took me out of the photo in the studio and later they had to make a montage to put me in the group". That photo symbolizes Luisa's relationships with her family: warm enough, but a bit distant. Now that she has her own daughter, she is determined to do everything possible so that she is always very close to her family, without restricting her freedom.
There is no shortage of people who rebel against these stereotypes, such as the woman who for many years was described as Susie, the housewife, and is now running for a seat in the United States Congress. But in most cases, labels last for a long time, "says Joel Marcus, a psychiatrist who practices in Berkeley, California.
My friend Zini, a 50-year-old garden designer, struggled for years to overcome the consequences of the stereotype her mother imposed on her.
Her father had left the family when both she and Jane, her younger sister, had not turned five. Consequently, the mother, who had to find a new job in order to get ahead, trusted Zini, hoping that she would get good grades in school and be an attentive companion at home.
When little Zini proved that she couldn't always meet those expectations, her mother accused her of being a loner. I've always been very shy, recalls Zini. "And that annoyed my mother a lot. When I invited friends over to my house, I introduced myself as' the sad one '. Jane was always' the happy one. All that, of course, the only thing that did was to further increase my terror of sharing. At first I decided to be an artist, because I had imagined that that way I did not have to be with many people. I always tried to make my mother happy. And, not succeeding, I felt sad and down.
If she broke a plate, she would only criticize me for how useless she was. Only when Zini became a grown woman, went to live a thousand miles away and underwent several therapy sessions, did she realize that no child in the world has enough power to "fix the damaged life of her parents.
And, yes, Zini became an artist. Who was going to tell me that succeeding in this career would force me to meet totally strange people? But I am also improving in that field, although sometimes I would prefer to be in my room, away from everyone. "
Zini now maintains a fairly balanced relationship with her mother, but she hardly ever talks to her sister. Those labels really divided us. Jane and I have lived like strangers. "
Rebeca and Rosa, on the other hand, are two sisters who have become good friends only now, when they are in their thirties. "When we were growing up, I was the smart one and Rosa the athletic one, says Rebeca." At school I was always the last to be selected by a sports team.
My mother told me not to worry about her, that everything was fine. She even used to say that athletic girls weren't as interesting as smart ones. So while her sister collected sports trophies, Rebecca refused to learn to swim or ride a bike. Unfortunately, Rosa also got the message from her mother. And, although she fully trusted her physical powers, she always felt diminished by the intelligence of her sister. "She was the genius and I was the stupid one. That was the message that, in a clear way, reached my life."
Over the years, Rebeca became an executive at an advertising agency in New York, while Rosa founded a glass cutting company.
It was only two years ago, when the two sisters got together to discuss their lives, that they realized that they had many points in common. "I think that up to that point, what we had done was increase our differences in order not to compete," says Rebeca.
Labeling children as opposites can be a means of reducing fights. But the end result is almost always to make children insecure. "We all like to be seen by others as intelligent people and in perfect control of our bodies," says Vicky Meyer, a social worker from New York. "Being excluded from any of these categories can be very painful.
Harmful labels
Many children who have received negative labels grow up honoring these stereotypes: the lazy person often becomes a person who does not reach the goals that he sets; the troublemaker usually ends up in jail.
When parents put these labels on, they are often expressing their own frustrations and fears. Sometimes, therapists say, a troubled child is the symptom of a troubled marriage. And this case may be one of the few issues that parents agree on. Unconsciously, the child thinks that her misbehavior is the cause of her parents fighting continuously.
Luckily, negative labels can be overcome. Margaret, for example, has a good, intelligent and understanding husband. Her children are not a problem and she lives in an elegant house. She professionally she is the vice president of a cosmetics company. It's hard to imagine that she, in her day, was called "the dummy.
At school, her older brother, "the boy-genius, was treated as such. And her sister," the precocious girl, always got an A. Her parents were always enthusiastic about Mattya Erica, but Margaret belonged to a second level.
"Every time they received my school grades, my parents made fun of me, So I thought they had been brilliant students, says Margaret. Only when I was an adult did I know that my mother had been a bad student, that she dropped out of pre-university studies. Once Margaret's mother felt out of place in her own family and projected her anxieties onto her daughter. Glancing back in the comfort of her office, Margaret laughs at the thought that she's not smart. especially well when you analyze the personalities of your two children, that we all learn differently and that good grades often reward only one way of learning.
In spite of everything, she is not bitter. She believes her sister and brother suffered more than she did. "Maybe they told me I was a failure, but I was able to prove to everyone that it was not true, says Margaret." When you are constantly reminded of how smart you are, the secret message is that if you do not confirm that intelligence to everything the world, you are a failed person.
My brother Matt is a prestigious lawyer, but deep down, I think his secret illusion was to be an actor. And my sister Erica dropped out of college, to which she returned after ten years to study psychology.
When she was growing up, my little sister was Mom's favorite, maybe because she was sickly and she needed maternal care more than I did. Although maybe it was all due to the fact that my mother was also the youngest daughter in her family, so her affectionate manifestations were more focused on the baby. "The truth is that all this is nothing more than speculation.
The only thing I remember from my childhood is that my world was unfair ... Always in second place, I became the most terrible older sister in the whole neighborhood and, when I went to college, I was not saddened by leaving my little sister in House. Later, when both she and I moved away from the family home, we became great friends.
For all of us who grew up far from the family spotlight, it can be reassuring to know that being Daddy's "Little Princess" or Mommy's King can be a curse rather than a blessing. Erica, Margaret's younger sister , says she was her parents' favorite basically because she was a quick minded girl.
But now I have understood that she does win love when you show your true worth. The stress was intense. Also, I didn't like the way my parents acted either, as it affected my relationships with Matt and Margaret. Sometimes they resented it.
***Perhaps the moral of all this is that each label has its price. "Labels are a lack of imagination." "A failure to perceive what is perhaps hidden in the depths of a child. It is easy to see if it is a being with the ability to speak, bright and intelligent. But, why not try to see if it has endless possibilities that await the moment of being discovered? Something that I now try to do as an adult is to look for new images of myself.***
The Child God arrives and we used to give gifts for infants.
**Christmas is coming, a time when children look forward to their new toys. Here we offer you a practical guide so that you can find the ideal one for your child according to their age**
Look at the almanac, what month are we in? In November. Incredible, the year is already leaving and we must begin the preparations for the Christmas season. We all want to share the tradition with our loved ones, but there is something that for nothing in the world should be missing, because the smallest of the house eagerly await the gifts of the Child Jesus.
This reception is a moment in life that cannot be compared with anything else and that without a doubt is part of the most pleasant memories that the boy can have. Keeping the illusion of a child alive every December 25, through a gift under the tree, is undoubtedly an act of incalculable value.
**Major reasons**
Sometimes we think that our children already have enough toys. Many of these objects are forgotten and end up stored and full of dust; at that point we wonder if it is worth buying new ones. But playing is not a waste of time, on the contrary, it is a necessary activity for children because it helps them develop intellectually, emotionally and socially. It encourages creativity and allows the little ones to assimilate, understand and adapt to external quality. Therefore, it is an essential activity.
**For every age**
Christmas is generally a time of "run-run", at which time we are in a battle against the clock, because we have to take care of many things. The shops are crowded with people, the supply of toys is very wide and we do not know which is the most suitable for our children.
First of all, we recommend that you make purchases at an early date to avoid the toys running out or the shops being overcrowded by the last minute rush.
**0 to 2 years**. The child needs toys that develop their senses and help them with motor coordination. Those with different texture colors and sounds are recommended.
Those that can suck, bite, crush and drag are convenient. Toys such as rattles, teethers and pendants for the crib will be very useful for the little ones. When they are learning to walk they need walkers or other implements that allow them to travel the spaces. Drag objects such as tricycles without pedals are also necessary.
**2 to 6 years.** At this stage, toys that allow them to carry out outdoor activities, such as tricycles, balls and construction games, are suitable. Those that imitate adult activities or familiar scenes, such as the doctor's kit or the kitchen, are quite useful.
Reading children's stories that instill values such as solidarity, equality and respect is another option. Simple puzzles are also ideal at these ages.
**6 to 9 years**. Slightly more complex toys such as bicycles, skates, puzzles, question-and-answer table games, and those that encourage healthy competition, where they can measure their abilities and strength, are ideal for this group.
**9 to 12 years.** Those that represent professional adult situations such as chemistry and electricity, and those that involve teamwork and some sporting activity are essential.
**Over 12.** At this age children lose interest in toys. The objects that are most valuable to them and become perfect gifts are books, clothes and video games, which correspond to the tastes and personality that the boy begins to look for.
Devices for listening to music are also his favorites; however, the use of hearing aids should be limited to avoid hearing damage.
**General advice**
**Take into account their personality:**
If a child is withdrawn, it may be effective to purchase a socializing game that involves several people; if he is very restless, attention games or artistic games will keep him focused.
Do not forget about simple toys because, through them, the child will be forced to let her imagination fly.
**To be ordered has said:**
A correct organization of toys is becoming more and more necessary because every year new objects arrive at home. Children must be instilled in the habit of being tidy, so a corner of the home should be predetermined for toys. Objects can be classified by color or by category, such as keeping books in one place and puzzles in another place.
It's also fun to go for creative names for each drawer; for example, "box of Surprises", so the child will be more motivated when putting away their toys. There are cabinets with children's designs that are appropriate to protect these objects. They must be clean and free of moisture or other agents that contribute to deterioration.
**Video game**
They have become one of the favorite toys of children and adolescents. There is a wide range of them. Today technology is part of our lives, we just have to think of computers that are of great importance both professionally and student and are present in many homes. This is a reality from which we cannot escape, however, some digital games have earned the criticism of people, because many incite the practice of violent activities. There is a tendency that these games can be addictive or induce behavioral changes such as isolation.
Due to the importance that technology has acquired in our lives, it is not a bad thing for children to become familiar with these digital devices, however, parents should monitor the amount of time that children allocate for the use of these games.
**Gift time:**
Christmas is the perfect time to teach the small values that allow you to grow as people. In this season you can do kind activities that benefit others, such as donating toys to the neediest children.
Encourage your child to do these kinds of tasks. It is also essential to teach the child the importance of friendship and family, and to promote values such as honesty, respect and understanding.
Toys are ideal allies to promote teamwork and the habit of sharing, so do not be scared when your child takes a friend home to play, as this is a great step for socialization.
***Pay attention to the toy your child wants.***
