3 Surprising Ways to Fight Stress

We know stress can cause all sorts of health problems. But it’s not so much the stress that’s the cause; it’s our reaction to it. The stress is often beyond our control, whereas we can control our thoughts and reactions.

Focused Breathing.

                       Benefits:

Focused breathing helps to maximize your energy 
intake, while keeping the mind "in the body" and 
clear of distracting, self-limiting thoughts. This
is a natural relaxed state of peak performance.

        Here's how Focused-Breathing                 

The breathing cycle for this exercise is divided 
into three parts, each part getting a set number
of counts:

    Inhale (2 counts)
    Hold the breath (2 counts)
    Exhale (4 counts)

Once you're comfortable with this method, you can
attempt to apply it to your activity. As an example, 
for walking:

    Inhale for 2 steps
    Hold for 2 steps
    Exhale for 4 steps

Ultimately, you want to find a pace and count that 
you can maintain and that feels natural. As you 
become more adept with this technique, try and 
increase your counts while keeping the same ratio. 

For example, inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, 
exhale for 8 (or 6, 6 and 12). Experiment and find a 
combination that works well for you.

        When should you use this?

Try focused breathing during your next workout or
before your big presentation.

You'll feel more centered, grounded and calm to
better handle your task.

                        Why?

There's no way you can think about yesterday or
tomorrow when you're concentrating on your
next breath.

Oposiciones de Inglés

Dear Opositores,
So far I've been reluctant to start preparing the oposiciones exam, because I sensed some disappointment and reluctance on the part of some . Obviously these negative terms do not help me either since  I wouldn´t like to work with those who are unmotivated . Time flies and the preparation takes time if you want to have high chances of success. Therefore, at the insistence of certain emails from some concerned about their preparation , I decided to call a meeting for next Saturday night October 12 at 11 am in my home, San Leonardo 37, 7th -1 . In this meeting I will present my work project that will require the commitment of those who wish to prepare seriously from the start. I will form a small group by order of booking after this e-mail has reached you.. I will give preference to those candidates that I prepared for the oppositions of 2012.
Kind regards

A diet can throw your body out of balance

The UK survey found that one in three women starts dieting between the ages of 15 and 20. Most then routinely diet about three times a year, but over 10 percent diet five times a year. Trouble is, many schemes are too strict, which can bring metabolism to a screeching halt, and others are approaches that result in an imbalance. For example, cutting fat too low can lead to a surplus of carbs your body can’t burn, which then get socked away in your fat cells. And diets that permit eating unlimited amounts of “allowed” foods essentially sanction overeating, and unfortunately, any time you eat more than your body needs, even healthy stuff, the excess feeds body fat.

Don’t toss that peel–it may help you burn fat. When scientists added ursolic acid (found in apple skin) to the high-fat diets of mice, the mice gained less weight.

“Ursolic acid ups muscle and brown fat, which boosts calorie burning,” says lead researcher Christopher Adams, MD.

Other likely slimmers:

Bergamot oranges: Studies show that compounds in the fruit may decreasecholesterol and help with weight loss.

Blueberries: This superfruit may reduce belly fat by affecting fat-burning and storage genes, says a recent study.

Pears: They’re high in flavonoids and catechins, antioxidants that help women ward off weight gain. Health

ENGLISH HEALTH IDIOMS

1. Cold hands, warm heart.As someone who almost always has cold hands, I naturally thought that this English proverb was a nice one. It means that ❛people whose hands are usually cold have kind and loving personalities❜.

2. hoarse voiceWhen your ❛throat is sore and you cannot speak well due to illness❜, you have a hoarse voice. Hoarseness is a common symptom of a cold or flu, but can also be a warning sign for other conditions.
Example: I could hardly understand Luigi on the phone. He had a hoarse voice.

3. splitting headacheA splitting headache is ❛an extremely bad or severe headache❜.
Example: Could you please be quiet? I have a splitting headache.

4. to be coming down with somethingWhen someone ❛starts a cold or flu❜, he is coming down with it. What can you do when you feel that you are coming down with a cold or flu? Try drinking a hot drink.Example: I’m sorry. I can’t come to this month’s English Grammar Club meeting, because I fear that I am coming down with a cold.

5. to be fit as a horse / to be fit as a fiddleThe English idioms to be as fit as a horse or to be as fit as a fiddle are expressions that you can use to say that someone is ❛very healthy❜.Example: I am not sick. In fact, I am as fit as a fiddle!

6. to be knocked outWhen you are ❛extremely tired and/or unable to do anything❜, you are knocked out.Example: I expected that I could return to work after a week, but this flu has really knocked me out.

7. to have a frog in one’s throatWhen your voice is ❛hoarse and/or dry and you have difficulty speaking❜, you have a frog in your throat.
Example: Fred wanted to say something, but could not. He had a frog in his throat.
