  3. "I'll get old later" ... So what's the magic formula for staying young despite biological aging? "Physical activity and the right diet are the most important ways of avoiding diseases typical of old age," says the doctor. And: "Staying mobile, both physically and mentally, is the key." ... Another decisive factor in healthy aging are social contacts that need to be maintained. "Loneliness is the worst disease of old age with bad consequences for body and soul," says Koch. “Lonely one is paralyzed.” Living with an animal helps, on the other hand – just as she herself has only shared her home with her dog since the death of her partner three years ago. And of course going for brisk walks with him every day – which keeps both of them fit. MORE from Dr. Marianne Koch here: https://newsrnd.com/news/2022-05-17-"i-ll-get-old-later".SJfH2Rlw9.html
  4. Staying fit in old age: Marianne Koch sets an example and gives tips - dr Marianne Koch's path to health and mental freshness in old age 1. Exercise: go for a half-hour walk every day to supply the body with sufficient oxygen. "Like me at home with my little, fat dog." If possible sport. "Muscle loss makes us age." Strength training with an expander or a rubber band in front of the chest. 2. Diet: Fresh fruits, vegetables. As regional as possible to avoid additives. "No salt, sugar, or bad fat." Meat in moderation; because the body needs protein. No red meat (pork, beef, lamb). Better: chicken, fish (white meat). Vegetarian is ok. Vegan not for children and seniors. "We need dairy products like cheese and eggs." 3. Lifelong Learning : Our 100 billion brain cells crave spiritual nourishment. “In my eyes, the 45-year-old who thinks he has learned enough is old. The 80-year-old, who is interested in a language course at the VHS, has remained young at heart.” By the way: If you can't remember your neighbor's first name, you don't immediately suffer from Alzheimer's. 4. Social contacts : Loneliness is the worst of all diseases of old age. The often ridiculed senior group in the church attracts with highly interesting projects, mutual help and weekend trips. “What have you got to lose?” Even the good old telephone can come in handy sometimes. "Dealing with the problems of aging takes a good deal of courage," says Dr. Marianne Koch. ...

  5. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid: A Life in the Dark Always lying down, hardly moving, only speaking for a few minutes at a time: Faraz Fallahi is seriously ill with ME/CFS. From his darkened room he fights for more research - and encourages other sufferers. Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome, ME/CFS for short, determines Faraz's life - he has to be cared for around the clock... ...We shoot the interview in almost complete darkness with a light-sensitive camera so that the visual stimuli are as minimal as possible. by Birgit Großekathöfer, DER SPIEGEL "How do you stand it?" Faraz Fallahi, ME/CFS patient: »Lying down? I couldn't do anything for the first few months. I could really only lie there from one break to the next. I couldn't even look at the phone. You can't stand it. That's not a choice you have. You go insane in your head. This is also something I have been told by others I speak to who are also affected. In fact, you wish you could fall asleep every night but not wake up.« So far it is known that ME/CFS is an often severe neuroimmunological multisystem disease. The brain can be affected, so some patients develop dementia-like conditions and suffer from speech and concentration disorders. However, ME/CFS can also affect the heart, for example by causing arrhythmias or heart palpitations. In addition, there may be shortness of breath or shortness of breath and extreme exhaustion. If an individual stress limit is exceeded, the symptoms can become permanently worse. In Berlin, Carmen Scheibenbogen manages one of only two outpatient clinics in Germany that specialize in the disease and have been completely overrun since the pandemic at the latest. Carmen disc arch, Charité Berlin "It's a catastrophe, because most of them don't have any proper care at all, and the bad thing is, because the disease is often wrongly classified, the general practitioners don't take it seriously either, they often just don't know any better. It is then often classified as a psychosomatic illness or somatic stress disorder or even depression, and the recommendation that physical activity is important applies, and then the severity of the illness is often misjudged.” So far there is no therapy that cures the disease – and therefore there is little hope of improvement. In their distress, those affected try to self-medicate, often with preparations that are actually intended for other diseases....

  18. Paralysed girl... YouTube comments (5 only..): seeet sweet - 2 months ago This hit close to home for me. I was paralyzed as young as her, too. I woke up one day in excruciating pain in my legs and realized my legs weren't moving. After being confined to wheelchair for months, I learned how to walk all over again. It was like I was learning how to walk for the first time. Bless her, what a strong little girl. Anitha Vasudevan - 1 month ago A million kudos to her parents who did not believe the doctor's prognosis and went ahead to change the little girl's life.. Never ever ever ever ever give up on the people you love. ASISH KUMAR SATAPATHY - 1 month ago The human mind is such an amazing thing. Once someone is disciplined, determined and persistent, then almost anything is possible. Kudos to the baby girl and her amazing parents who helped her to achieve this. t74 guard - 1 month ago This is the news the world needs to hear about. The inner strength that little girl has is incredible. Got goose bumps and a warm feeling all over. Her parents are some amazing people as well. Loved every second of this video. So happy everything is working out for that amazing girl and her parents. John Liu - 2 months ago (edited) This is exactly why physical therapy needs to be advocated more in the US especially when it comes to spinal cord injuries. A lot of times people in this country will always resort to medications or invasive surgeries with high risk, not to say that it’s not necessary in certain situations, but in most cases physical rehabilitation is what people need to get better in the long run. Go to a PHYSICAL THERAPIST if you have a severe physical or neurological impairment that does not require surgery! It will be a game changer!!!

  20. Hawaiian Surfer Rides Tsunami All the Way to California Coast Huntington Beach, California - At 3:25 a.m. while still under cover of the darkness of predawn hours, Southern Californian authorities were alerted that a Tsunami was on its way. However, the news did not arrive by way media outlets or government officials, but by word of mouth. And in person by a man claming to have surfed on one of the many tide waves that hit Hawaii just hours earlier after Japan experienced an 8.9-magnatude earthquake. "Aloha," said Koa Palani, 24, walking out of the surf onto the shore of Huntington Beach up to a Lifeguard truck, while carrying his surfboard under one arm and holding a lei in the other. "I bring ill tidings. A Tsunami is on its way. You must evacuate the residents of low-lying areas." Koa Palani then collapsed on the beach unconscious from exhaustion. Later, during the ride to the hospital, Koa Palani regained consciousness. "You don’t understand," continued Koa Palani from under an oxygen mask. "I didn’t heed the Tsunami warning and went suffering off the North Shore anyway." Before he knew it, Koa Palani was swept into the shipping lanes, riding the crest of a Tsunami all the way to the shore of Southern California. Koa Palani then suddenly sat up in the back of the ambulance, a sense of urgency and concern flooded his eyes as he removed his oxygen mask to speak, "Did you warn the people?" After receiving assurances that the Tsunami advisory was sent out, Koa Palani collapsed back into the gurney. Then after a few moments he rose up again, resting on his elbows. "So is that like a Tsunami warning? Or what?" asked a somewhat confused Koa Palani. - by Robert W. Armijo, on Fun Fake News...
  21. Geronimo - the legendary Indian warrior by Dorte Rasmussen Geronimo Geronimo! Most people have heard the expression before - in a song, an American film or uttered just before a classmate enters for an oral exam. But who was Geronimo, and where did the expression come from? Geronimo was a Bedonkohe Apache leader of the Chiricahua Apache who led his people's defense of their land against the large and powerful American military. He continued the Apache tradition to oppose white man's colonization of the southwestern United States. But after a year-long war against American troops, Geronimo surrendered on September 4, 1886. He became a celebrity, but for the last 20 years of his life, he was a prisoner of war. Read the full story of the famous Indian here. Geronimo - the earlier years The legendary Apache leader was born in June, 1829 in what was then Mexico. He grew up in what we now know as Arizona and New Mexico. Goyathlay (The Yawner) was a natural hunter, and it is said that he swallowed the heart of the first animal he killed to ensure his eternal hunting success. He grew up to be a respected medicine man and warrior. Geronimo spent much of his life on the run. He belonged to the smallest branch of the Chiricahua tribe - the Bedonkohe. With only about 8,000 people, the Apache were completely surrounded by enemies: the Mexicans, as well as the Navajo and Comanche tribes. The Apache quickly learned to seek refuge, constantly. It was also part of the Indian tribe to plunder their neighbors. As a consequence, the Mexican government offered a bounty on the scalps of all Apache Indians. A child's scalp could fetch as much as $25. That didn't stop the tribe from continuing their activities, however, and by the age of 17, Geronimo had already spearheaded four successful raids. It was also during this time that young Geronimo fell in love with Alope, whom he married and had three children with. But then came the tragedy that would change Geronimo forever. One day, as Geronimo was on a trading trip away from the camp, Mexican soldiers attacked. Geronimo and the other men rushed home when they heard of the attack. But, when he got home, he found his mother, Alope and his three children killed. War leader Geronimo The murders of his family, devastated the 28-year-old Indian. As Apache tradition dictated, he set fire to his family's belongings and left camp to seek the wilderness. All as a symbol of his grief. There, alone and in deep sorrow, he heard a voice promise him that, "No gun will ever kill you. I will take the bullets from the Mexicans' guns ... and I will guide your arrows." With that knowledge, he gathered 200 men and found the soldiers who had killed his family. This vendetta against the soldiers and the Mexican government continued for 10 years. It was the Mexicans who gave him the name Geronimo. They were so frightened when they saw the Indian attacking them with a knife - despite the bullets flying around his ears - that they cried out for help from St Jerome - "Jerónimo" in Spanish. In the early 1850s, however, his enemy changed face. After the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, the Americans had taken over large areas from Mexico - including those belonging to the Apache Indians. When gold was found in the area, settlers and miners flocked to the Indians' land. Tensions grew, and Apache attacks on the white man became more violent. Revenge continues Geronimo's father-in-law, Cochise, the leader of Chiricahua, could see where things were going. The chief made a peace treaty - much to Geronimo's disappointment. The war was to end, and Cochise agreed to the creation of a reserve for his people, on a valued and important part of their land. When Cochise dies, a few years later, and the US government has moved the agreed reserve north, Geronimo has had enough. He starts a new round of fighting. The authorities captured the Apache leader in 1877 and sent him to the San Carlos Apache Reservation. There, he struggled for four long years to settle in. In 1881, he fled the reservation. Together with a small group of men, Geronimo fought a five-year war against the Americans. Many believe this was the last war the Indians fought against the mighty United States. He was captured several times and taken to Indian reservations. Each time, he managed to escape. Some saw Geronimo as the last true warrior and defender of native rights. Others saw him as stubborn and warlike. Geronimo was not a chief, but a great and feared leader who led many raids and campaigns for his people But he became mythical, and eventually there was a troop of 5,000 American soldiers hunting Geronimo alone. On September 4, 1886, he surrendered as the very last Chiricahua. With Geronimo's surrender, the Indians' war against the Americans was finally over. Geronimo's last years Even while imprisoned, Geronimo saw what a celebrity he had become. Everyone wanted a glimpse of the Indian warrior. In true American style, Geronimo made big bucks during this period selling merchandise, including bows and arrows, pictures of himself and even his hat. In 1905 he published his autobiography, and in the same year he took part in the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt as president. Later he met the president in person, but he failed to persuade him to give the Apache their land back. Nevertheless, Geronimo made a form of peace with the Americans and converted to Christianity. His enormous hatred for the Mexicans never disappeared, however. Four years later, Geronimo died after contracting pneumonia from a riding accident in February 1909. Geronimo was thrown from his horse and had to spend the night outside in the cold. He died six years later. At this time he was still a prisoner of war. On his deathbed, Geronimo would have said: "I should never have surrendered. I should have fought until I was the last man alive!" Much of Geronimo's life and achievements are probably based more on myth and legend than on real historical fact. Either way, he left a lasting legacy, and he is forever a legendary and mythical figure in the indigenous storytelling. Geronimo's legacy Today Geronimo is used as an exclamation when you are about to plunge into something scary, but want to show that you are not afraid. For example, American parachutists began using "Geronimo" as a slogan and motto during World War II. The Danish singer Aura wrote the song 'Geronimo', and there are several films about the legendary Indian. Geronimo is also a ghost town in Graham Country, Arizona (there is also a town in Oklahoma and Texas named after the Indian warrior). It used to be a railroad station. Today, only a large building remains. In 2011, the White House received a coded message from US soldiers in Pakistan. The code was "Geronimo EKIA". EKIA stood for Enemy Killed In Action, and the message was meant to confirm that Osama bin Laden had been killed. The operation itself had been called 'Geronimo'. The choice of the name Geronimo naturally caused a stir. The warrior had been brutal and he was a native American. Critics thought his name had no place in a military operation. For others, the name was perfect. For the Indian was not only notorious for his many revenge attacks, but also for his formidable ability to evade his enemies. At the same time, it was arguably a true Geronimo! - situation, where the soldiers had to go on a frightening journey, but together they wanted to show that they were not afraid. Geronimo managed to fight 30 years against Mexicans and Americans, marry nine times, have 54 children, and leave remarkable, if mainly violent, traces in history.

  22. Your MEME of The Day As far as I'm concerned You're all illegal aliens.
  23. Hi Mina, I react finally: To change the ideas, you make a big line on the past, and start to live only in kindness and love, period. "Kindness is easier than hate" - this must lead you now. Don't worry about bad memories of the past - live in the present kindness and love, live a spiritual lifestyle and take care of living, Now! " "We live a spiritual lifestyle when we treat all life with care, kindness, and love." - Anthony Douglas Williams " - writing on the "meme" in the Pretty Detox Posts topic, page 16. To me, "meme" is an image with writing. "A meme is a virally transmitted image embellished with text, usually sharing pointed commentary on cultural symbols, social ideas, or current events. A meme is typically a photo or video, although sometimes it can be a block of text." "Memes are usually funny, but often that humor is injected with wry political or social commentary. Sometimes memes exist for shock value or to teach a life lesson." - here: https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-meme-2483702
  24. Scientists blasted plastic with lasers and turned it into tiny diamonds and a new type of water Plastics shocked with a high-energy laser generate nanodiamonds with a range of technological applications.(Image credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) By Robert Lea published 6 days ago New research inspired by ice giants like Neptune and Uranus shows lasers can transform a common plastic into tiny diamonds. Using ultrapowerful lasers, scientists have blasted cheap plastic and transformed it into tiny "nanodiamonds" — and, in doing so, confirmed the existence of an exotic new type of water. . The findings could potentially reveal the existence of diamond rain on ice giants in our solar system and explain why these frigid worlds have such strange magnetic fields. The laser-blasting technique could also lead to more Earthly applications. Nanodiamonds are diamonds that measure just a few nanometers, or billionths of a meter. They have both existing and potential applications, such as turning carbon dioxide into other gases and delivering drugs into the body, study co-author Dominik Kraus, a physicist at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf in Germany, told Live Science. "Nanodiamonds could also be used as ultrasmall and very precise quantum sensors for temperature and magnetic fields, which may result in a plethora of applications," Kraus said. The technique could also reduce plastic pollution by creating a financial incentive to clear and transform plastics from the ocean, he said. An experiment with cool implications for ice giant planets For many years, planetary scientists have suspected that diamonds form within the frigid interiors of ice giants such as Neptune and Uranus. If these diamonds do form, they would then "rain" through the interiors of these frozen worlds. To see whether this process was feasible, the researchers took a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic — the type found in plastic bottles — and used a high-powered optical laser found at the Matter in Extreme Conditions instrument in the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's Linac Coherent Light Source to heat the plastic to around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius). This created pressures millions of times greater than that of Earth's atmosphere for just billionths of a second. This bone-crushing pressure shocked the plastic, causing the carbon atoms in the plastic to reconfigure into a crystalline structure, with hydrogen and oxygen drifting through this lattice. "Using a powerful X-ray laser, we could look inside the sample and create movies of the chemical reactions happening there," Kraus said. "We saw very efficient formation of nanodiamonds inside the compressed plastics within the timescale of our experiments  —  just a few nanoseconds." Everyday plastic that makes up common plastic bottles could be shocked with lasers to create valuable nanodiamonds. (Image credit: Robert Lea/Mario Sarto) The new research shows that this type of diamond formation may be more common than scientists previously believed, raising the chances that ice giants may sport thick layers of diamonds around their solid cores. The experiment also strongly suggests that at the high temperatures and pressures found in the interiors of such icy worlds, an exotic state of water, called  superionic water ice, emerges....
