Immunization

Immunization

 

Immunization

Let us take two terms that have been used interchangeably for the last few months or so and which are very important to understand. In other words, we are going to talk about immunization and vaccination.

What is Immunization?

In simple terms, immunization means something which helps our immune system to recognize the threat posed by invaders, like a disease (like measles, polio, and others) or a vaccine (like seasonal flu). With vaccines, we can say that they help make sure that our bodies stay free from diseases. So if you got polio, then immunizations help your body fight this disease, whereas if you got measles, then immunizations may not be enough and you will also need to get your family vaccinated as well. In fact, all viruses which pose a disease can be prevented through vaccines, but not with immunizations, and there exists a spectrum of pathogens like cancer that cannot be stopped only via vaccines. This distinction between vaccinations and immunizations should never confuse anyone. Also, please take note of this difference in the name of the two terms. Please keep them apart.

Immunizations

Immunizations are given to human beings (not animals and insects), while vaccines are given to animals and insects. Vaccines are things like insecticides, antibiotics, vaccines against some types of bacteria, etc. For example, vaccinations against seasonal Flu are not done using medicines. These medications are used only to stop the spread of certain microbes and not to prevent illness due to their side effects (e.g., fever and vomiting). You may recall my article on vaccinations, wherein I talked about how vaccines can only be used as a short-term solution rather than being effective for long-term protection.

So, what exactly does it mean that we talk about “vaccines” instead of “immunizations”? Well, let me explain. Some vaccines actually provide immunity but not protection. Others will do both, like vaccines against smallpox and HIV. When we say that we are talking about vaccines, what is a vaccine really? A placebo? No, I am not saying that we don't actually need drugs like chemotherapy or radiation therapy, which are necessary for curing these cancers. But vaccines are designed to give temporary protection. If such an intervention weren't used, diseases would continue to exist.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are given to people in order to build up immunity, and the benefits it brings are quite vast. When vaccines are administered to individuals, and the person receives them, there is evidence that there is stronger protection against diseases. As already mentioned above, vaccines are meant to offer greater protection than any drug, such as chemotherapy, but still provide immunity of some sort.

One can imagine that if we wanted a permanent cure for many ailments, we'd probably choose vaccination. It's possible that we wouldn't be cured for certain illnesses only, but this depends on more specific types of disease.

What kinds of vaccines are available?

The answer here depends largely upon your personal circumstances. Of course, if you are healthy, you can definitely choose to live with vaccines. However, you can also choose to get shots at different times of the year, such as during summer and autumn or winter and spring. Another way of choosing vaccination might be to ask doctors for advice. Again, this depends upon your situation. Here is a list of some things to consider before you decide how to choose whether to get a vaccination or not. Let's move on to what vaccines are required for vaccination.

Vaccines are sometimes needed for children

Children in the U.S. are usually exempt from getting vaccines, and they must be able to prove that he or she has specific health issues. Many children can contract measles and polio, among others, without knowing it, though most of them go to and recover from the issue. There are certain exemptions that apply to kids under three years old, depending on a number of factors, e.g., if the child lives with one of the following parents:

His parent or guardian.

His/her parent has legal guardianship of a child under the age of 18.

His/her parent has signed for a medical exemption, which requires that medical professionals should advise him/her that he does not qualify for vaccination because he/she suffers from a particular risk such as diabetes or heart disease.

If one has certain medical conditions, that parent must decide whether he/she is willing to get a vaccination or not.

There are multiple ways in which you can choose whether to receive a vaccine or not. Since you must decide between vaccination and no vaccination for yourself, we are going to discuss the main options that you can choose, including their pros and cons.

Vaccinations

All vaccines are made from harmless biological agents (bacteria, viruses, antibodies, proteins, etc.). All viruses and bacteria are non-pathogenic entities because they do not cause disease or death, and thus they are non-toxic to the host (for humans only). Smallpox, SARS, Ebola, polio, and Influenzae are some of the known types of viruses and bacteria which cannot cause disease, though, of course, large pot and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) pose a great hazard, and even now they are actively on the horizon of a future pandemic. Vaccines are made from these organisms, and therefore they protect the host and not harm it. That makes them one-of-a-kind systems.

How Long Do We Need To Stay Home After Getting A Vaccine?

We are talking about vaccines for preventing disease, but vaccines are also given to stimulate and promote immunity throughout the entire lifetime of an individual. And remember that vaccines are given after taking time to recover from a disease or injury, which means that vaccinations are often prescribed after recovery. Sometimes individuals require longer to recover from a disease or injury, and this may depend on a variety of factors, such as medical history, severity, or duration of recovery. Thus, we should always evaluate the situation of an individual in terms of his/her current condition, injury, or recovery.

Vaccines are generally given over several weeks or months between shots while recovering from the infection or disease. Sometimes people may require two shots, for instance when receiving a shot for measles and a second shot when undergoing treatment for cancer. People are encouraged to follow proper safety guidelines when receiving vaccines. Other people might require a single shot so that everyone can be protected against the disease.

Vaccines have been shown to be highly effective when they are given early on in life when someone was still developing protective antibodies. They are less likely to have undesirable side effects, including pain or discomfort, bleeding, swelling, redness, or diarrhoea. On the contrary, vaccines can often cause serious side effects when given late in childhood or after they are introduced for the first time.

Vaccines can also offer protection until a person has received a second shot. Thus, the process of acquiring a vaccine should be undertaken for the sake of protecting your health and the health of those around you.

In addition to those aforementioned reasons, we should mention that vaccines are less likely to weaken our immune system due to the nature of immunizations for which they are given. Though vaccinations have been associated with milder side effects in adults compared to younger children, studies show that children who received vaccines early on in life are more susceptible to severe adverse effects. Therefore, it is essential to use both, vaccine and antibody-based interventions as part of our arsenal to reduce adverse effects.

What Are the Adverse Effects of Taking Vaccines?

Despite the lack of information concerning adverse effects, it is clear that vaccines have little if anything to do with adverse effects. Vaccines are also safe for children (who receive them), adults, and pregnant women. There were some cases where vaccines were unsafe for children. More common cases than adverse health effects, however, were those involving allergic reactions to vaccines. Still, the key point is that vaccines don't lead to diseases. However, they do make our immune system much stronger and that, in turn, leads to an improvement in our overall health.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Human Immunodeficiency Virus

https://www.mentalhealthbrains.com/2022/03/human-immunodeficiency-virus.html

HIV/AIDS

Hiv (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is an infectious disease that is fatal or debilitating to patients with HIV infection. It is a viral brain-related illness that is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. This deadly disease develops in the body and affects blood cells, lymphoid, and nerves. There is no cure yet for the mental health effects of the disease; however, treatment to treat symptoms and other side effects are available. The name HIV has been given because it is named after a type of cell in our body that makes it infects our own cells. In my experience, I have experienced physical, psychological, and emotional changes that have helped me cope with my diagnosis. However, there is always room for improvement in how I cope and I am constantly changing and learning. In order to better understand mental health issues related to the Hiv pandemic, I will explain several mental health things you should know about Hiv. You can find details via a variety of websites and newspapers.


Hiv is called the “human immunodeficiency virus” as it affects many types of immune cells. To identify the kind of disease you have, it would be helpful to know what your T cells look like. T cells are white cells responsible for taking care of your body. Your lymphoid system is very important when dealing with HIV-infected people because they also make antibodies that help fight the sickness. Any sort of disease that causes problems with the immune system does not affect other systems in your body. When someone has a normal immune system, it prevents the illness from causing any issues on any other parts of their body. Some diseases like diabetes, pneumonia, heart disease, etc. cause serious and long term issues. Therefore, it is crucial to learn more about the kinds of lymphoid cells, the type of cell they produce (T cells), and how long it takes your immune system time to heal from the illness.


HIV causes many issues. These issues are not only limited to those associated with the illness but are also related to the way we live. For example, it is impossible to go back to a normal quality of life if you had HIV. If your immune system is weak and not strong enough to fight off infections then it becomes impossible to stay healthy. Many studies have suggested that it is vital for the survival of all viruses to become strong and robust on multiple levels. When your immune body fails to function properly, that is when something else becomes affected – your mental health. Hiv symptoms have been shown to include fatigue, short term memory loss, altered energy, impaired muscle strength, depression, stress, anxiety, fatigue, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, hallucinations, night sweats, high fevers, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, insomnia, abdominal cramps, trouble concentrating, confusion, and fatigue. People suffering from these symptoms are often depressed and anxious. A good and supportive doctor can address some of the issues related to the Hiv illness, including medication, lifestyle modifications, coping skills, and understanding of the stigma.


HIV is a dangerous illness that we all must learn to cope with. The world should take some sort of action to stop the spread of AIDS. We are not going to do that through medicine. Medicine is made especially for people with HIV, so it isn’t going to prevent us from being diagnosed with HIV. We need to learn how to fight it from getting infected and it seems no one needs another vaccine against it. Instead, we should make sure we educate ourselves and others on how to care for ourselves well. That is why becoming educated is going to be such a huge part of helping us get past the Hiv disease.

The Hairfall reasons and treatment

[Read] Hair fall definition, Causes, Effects and Solution The following hair fall guide will help you understand the causes and possible remedies of hair loss. It provides an overview of various types of hair loss and how to overcome them. There are several different factors that contribute to the loss of your locks’ weight. Every aspect of our lives has some level of hair loss. You may find yourself losing your wavy locks, thinning hair, or both. As important as it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, no amount of scientific research will always identify all the things that could be responsible for why your hair feels so thin. While there have been many cases where one kind of medication helped in shedding the few strands of a person’s hair, others might not receive such assistance from any medicine. Regardless of what type of hair loss we are dealing with, there are several potential treatment options available. Let’s now look at some of the most common hair loss types and possible ways to treat them. In this article, you will learn about the basic causes of hair fall, the symptoms of hair loss, and the methods or treatments that are being used across the world today. After reading the information contained in this short article, if you have any questions regarding hair loss then ask your specialist for further guidance.

Basic Hair Loss Causes Hair loss (hair thinner than normal) can be caused by several different causes. Some of these causes include; chronic illness, the stress of life, hormone problems, smoking, pollution, improper usage of medications, hormonal contraceptives, excess use of antibiotics, hormonal imbalances, genetic mutations, hormonal disorders and other medical conditions (such as HIV). Chronic illness may lead to hair loss and thinning, while excessive stress causes it due to increased tension on the scalp and hair follicles. Symptoms of Hair Loss On average, the number of people who experience hair loss or thinning each year is around five million. Although not all of them go through a similar situation, they have more-or-less every single day. These hair losses usually start slowly. They can last for a couple of weeks or even months. However, many of the time it starts in the middle of December or January. This means that you can expect to see lots of people lose their hair when the winter weather is colder. If you notice that your hair started falling off gradually, it is probably because of the fact that you have suffered from some form of hair problem for a long period of time. A little break-down may not be enough to cause your hair to fall out, but you should know that just like we explained earlier is that your body changes its growth patterns over time, the same goes for your locks’ physical development. So if your locks started growing very fast, your main suspect should be your doctor. Your doctor will have something to do with the condition and can make an appropriate diagnosis. When that happens, your doctor will probably recommend that you start seeing a holistic hair care expert. If you have already started considering a comprehensive hair solution, here are some of the top considerations to take into account when looking for a holistic approach. Check Out Here for Top Tips For Staying Healthy From Headaches One thing to keep in mind is that headache is not only caused by headaches but also by inflammation. Any kind of brain injury, brain tumour, epilepsy, and stress can trigger migraines. But migraines are not only caused by migraines, they are also caused because of migraine therapy, which helps you manage your sleep cycles. Migraine therapy gives you an easy way of getting relief from migraines without causing any harm to your health. Sleep disorders can cause migraine-related nerve pain. Such patients are most likely to suffer from insomnia, a disorder in the brain, and sleeping disorders. Because of sleep disorders, people face problems sleeping, staying awake throughout the night, and waking up in the middle of the night. Sleep disorders, especially insomnia are dangerous and cause migraines. An insomnia disorder is when someone experiences persistent sleepiness after waking up or during the night. The trouble getting asleep leads them to think about something harmful, which makes them wake up later in the morning. Insomnia usually happens when you’re stressed. People who suffer from anxiety, depression, or stress often get depressed before they sleep and stay asleep until the morning hours. Sleep disorders and sleep disorders are very real and very serious issues. You need to consult a healthcare professional if you have any of these issues. You can make sure that you’re getting medically prescribed or medically recommended therapy for your sleep problem. Also, get professional help if you suffer from migraines and sleep disorders. Talk to an Expert Nowadays, there are thousands of people coming forward seeking help. With professional help, people with different kinds of hair loss can regain their full strength. Sometimes it really takes a lot of time for you to recover, especially if you are still experiencing headaches.

Many people have been suffering from hearing and speaking impairments. Most of them suffer from partial deafness. Generally, the inability to hear in general is caused by damage to one or more parts of the ear. That’s why many people think that they have a hearing problem. Others also think that they have a language disorder so that they speak less. Well, even though those are two different things, they can be both true. Both of them can be happening together. It’s important to keep in mind that both of them can affect you negatively. Even though hearing and speaking impaired individuals aren’t able to do certain things, they certainly cannot perform the majority of their daily activities. If you live alone, the chances are high that you will need to rely on another type of support system, like friends. Friends will give you a sense of security, and there are people that can understand your difficulties and help you. Just make sure that they support and protect you. Never let fear prevent you from trying out something new! If you have any further questions regarding hair loss and hearing impairment, please talk to an experienced hair loss specialist or click the button below to schedule your appointment.

Hair Fall Types Hair loss can be categorized into three different types. Let us discuss each of these types to learn how it affects human beings’ hair. According to Wikipedia, “type 1 is characterized by a slower rate of loss and longer duration of loss. Type 2, is characterized by faster loss of cells in response to stresses and a shorter duration of loss. Type 3, characterized by longer duration of loss and a lower rate of loss.” As mentioned above, type 1 is generally associated with the slow loss of locks’ weight. Therefore, it is very important to consider this type before you decide on treating your locks’ loss and its consequences. Now that we have discussed basic hair loss causes and the symptoms of hair loss, let us move on to the next topic to learn about its prevention method and treatment. Prevention Methods Before moving on to discussing treatment methods, the first idea is to make sure, that you are taking preventive measures to avoid hair loss. Preventive measures such as getting a proper diet, avoiding obesity, managing stress, and reducing risk factors such as diabetes, heart problems, and thyroid problems can help you in preventing hair loss. Prolonged exposure to sunlight also prevents hair loss. Excessive smoking also reduces the likelihood of hair loss as it contributes to an increase in hormonal levels in the blood (a hormone called estrogen). By lowering the levels of hormones such as estrogen in the blood, smoking reduces the chances of developing any other types of cancer and heart problems. Exercise also prevents hair loss. Fatty people have higher chances of hair loss, but that doesn’t mean that they have to stop smoking for that. Not all of us exercise when we have to prevent this possibility. Studies have shown that exercising does not necessarily mean that we will start losing weight. What it does, however, is help us retain some of our muscle mass, which protects our hair follicles. Exercise helps our bodies lose calories that they burn by burning the fat from the muscles and improving our metabolic status. Yoga, dance, gardening, and stretching also reduce the chances of hair loss. Another way that helps in combating hair loss is through rest. Resting our bodies allows us to allow our skin to relax and renew its elasticity. Taking regular rest helps our hair follicles to heal their structure and stimulate hair growth. How to Reduce Risk Factors for Hair Loss Over a lifetime, approximately 40% of Americans experience some type of hair problem and most of the time, it is related to ageing, hormonal balance, stress, smoking, lack of sleep, and high blood pressure. Of course, not all of the risk factors for hair loss are related directly to each other. Still, there‘s no denying that hair loss age is one of the reasons for hair fall.

What Are Overweight and Obesity?

What Are Overweight and Obesity?



What Are Overweight and Obesity?

We all experience different levels of body fat. Some have obesity, while others are overweight or simply overweight. These two terms are often confused with “overweight” or “obesity.”

Body mass index (BMI) is a term introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) that measures your body mass. It’s calculated using your height and weight. BMI (BMI) is used for determining whether you are in the obese or underweight range or not. Your BMI is calculated against a scale of 0 to 24, with values between 20 and 24 being considered normal. The typical BMI of an American citizen is 21, but many people will have a higher BMI due to lifestyle choices, such as smoking or excess calories from food.

The purpose of BMR is to determine if you’ve been overweight or underweight for some time, which is essential when deciding on treatment. To learn more about BMR and what can help you decide whether your goal is overweight or normal, I received some valuable insights into both my own experience and the research, resources and information from thousands of others. If you’re interested in learning more for yourself, it’s worth checking out these articles that provide additional insight into the topic

What are overweight and obesity and why do we have them?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple way to calculate body composition (based on height and weight). With BMI, it becomes much easier to tell whether you’re suffering from either excess or adequate body fat. This helps to make your decision much clearer. Because it does not involve any invasive testing, only taking blood and other bodily assessments; it can be done at home. Body habits and habits can be easily identified from BMI. This means if you were to use BMI to monitor your weight, there’s a high chance that it can help establish what type of exercise and nutrition may be most beneficial to you.

There are certain things that I did not go over in detail regarding how to look at BMI or its benefits. I want to share just a few ways to consider BMI while looking at it.

First of all, make sure to understand the concept of body fat percentage or BMI. BMI is not limited to BMI alone; BMI as a whole is made up of two components: total body fat percentage (BTP) and lean body mass percentage (LBPM). A combination of these factors allows you to figure out your overall BMI, which gives you a better idea of your general body composition. In addition to that, BMI takes into consideration age, sex, physical activity level, type of food consumed, medication and current medications (such as birth control pills), the season of the year, pregnancy status, maternal history, and other risks factors for heart disease.

The first thing you should take note of when measuring BMI is the equation of weight (lb): height (cm) x body fat percentage (%). You then get a number that represents your body fat percentage, or BMI. For example, you would start off with 15% of your body fat percentage; after adding a little bit of water to that formula, you would get 20%. Then, add 15% more sugar and milk fat. So, if you measured your weight in pounds and BMI in percentages, you can interpret the numbers: Underweight = 15, Overweight = 25, Oveterate = 40, Excess = 60.

You may have noticed that I mentioned that BMI includes height alone. As opposed to BMI alone, BMI with both height and body fat percentage is called Body Mass Index, or BMI. Another important factor to remember is that BMI includes both male and female measurements. This way, men and women are weighed differently. Boys are usually weighed more than girls, and girls weigh less because of their larger bodies than boys. However, the average BMI for both genders is still fairly average, although men typically weigh more than women.

For men, the BMI is always between 25 and 30. Women have a BMI between 18 and 24. Although women are generally slightly heavier (which they weigh more at) than men, this doesn’t mean that women are more likely to end up underweight. Also, men are typically more likely to lose weight than women are; however, women are also more susceptible to losing body fat and gaining muscle. Thus, BMI needs to be taken with caution.

Another component of BMI is gender and age. Men and women both have unique BMI formulas. They have different percentages of body fat when they take their BMI. For young children, a child who weighs more can usually be more aware of his/her BMI than a person with lower BMI due to a smaller area burned by body fat. Older adults tend to have lower BMI because they can burn too much body fat than younger adults. Age can definitely play a role in how BMI is affected BMI. A common misconception is that older people have higher BMIs (with BMI in older adults actually hovering around 25-27 because of age). However, BMI tends to fluctuate for everyone. Younger girls, who are relatively unaffected by the effects of ageing may actually gain extra weight through their natural ageing process that causes metabolic changes.

Finally, the third part of BMI is your current fitness level and daily nutritional habits. People with healthy eating habits are much healthier than those who eat poorly. Healthy eating habits can include following a ketogenic diet (which reduces caloric intake), going vegan, engaging in Yoga or running, staying active outside of the gym, and controlling portion sizes. Of course, fitness level has nothing to do with your BMI. However, staying fit could help your BMI in the long run and encourage you to maintain your ideal BMI.

How does BMI affect weight changes?

The amount of fat on the front side of your body doesn’t directly impact your weight. Most people don’t care about what happens inside your belly (your waist size) so long as they’re happy with their appearance and their health. But if your waist size was reduced to a point where it makes you feel uncomfortable or not comfortable, that will likely become part of your weight and will contribute to excess weight. Losing fat through diet is the best strategy to gain a leaner physique because it leads to weight loss. In fact, studies show that even when people think they have lost weight, they still have significant amounts of excess body fat just sitting there in their bellies.

Your BMI has no effect on what happens to your weight when you eat too many carbohydrates and alcohol, especially if your BMI is below 20. When carbs are plentiful, your system tries to break down carbohydrate energy into glucose and fats. This is a complex process that requires some training and willpower to overcome. Fatty processes like fasting and ketosis can help with this. Studies indicate that intermittent fasting produces results similar to fasted fasting. Fasted fasting is fasting for short periods, while fasting without carbs or alcohol reduces appetite and increases insulin production, leading to increased metabolism, making your body retain water, reducing food craving, and eventually increasing your BMI.

Does BMI affect fertility and how we should manage it?

BMI is a key way that we can measure body composition and it helps us identify who should focus on managing weight and how we work for optimal results. In terms of fertility, BMI does not affect whether or not you need to adjust your diet. BMI is mostly based on overall health and being able to meet your weight goals. BMI is primarily used by healthcare providers to know what your BMI is and whether you need to increase or decrease some level of weight loss. When BMI drops below 24, you’re less likely to have kids. That being said, it can affect women’s fertility if they are above 24. Although infertility treatments can sometimes be effective at helping offset fertility issues caused by stress, anxiety, depression and stress (or just being unable to conceive), BMI is not a great way to calculate fertility.

The Gesture of Gratitude

The Gesture of Gratitude
https://www.mentalhealthbrains.com/2022/02/the-gesture-of-gratitude.html

The Gesture of Gratitude

A Gesture Of Gratitude

What is The Gesture of Gratitude? And the definition of it and why it affects our habits and lives and how do we repay the all world with it and other meanings of gratitude?

What is The Gesture of Gratitude?

Gratitude is defined as the expression of feeling good; gratitude is expressed through words, expressions of thanks and acts that conveyor display feelings of gratitude. It can also be explained in layman’s language as being grateful for what you have in life. A simple example is to say “I am grateful for this, for my new job”. Not only is that not just saying something to yourself but is actually expressing gratitude to the universe for providing you with that opportunity to get your dream job.

“Grateful” is the most common word used to describe the gratitude and can mean anything from being grateful to receiving gratitude. In both these instances, gratitude can mean appreciating something or someone. Whatever your meaning may be, it is important to remember that gratitude is about appreciating things.

How does The Gesture of Gratitude Affect Our Habits?

Gratitude influences the habit of gratitude by creating awareness around us. Through gratitude, we receive permission to experience gratitude and to express it freely. By exercising gratitude in our lives, we find ourselves using more gratitude. We feel grateful, and we appreciate all that we have and all that we are grateful for.

In the United Kingdom alone they were able to reduce stress levels by 11% since 2004 through a practice of gratitude! This effect was realized by simply walking around each day on our doorstep where an image had appeared to mark gratitude points. When this was done, walkers saw people start to give each other appreciation notes, such as hugs or handshakes. In addition to walking, participants also received information about their daily health and exercise routines.

Gratitude is a powerful gesture because of its ability to bring to the forefront our mindset of gratitude. If we want to start experiencing gratitude more often, we can start by changing the way we think about gratitude. For example, there is evidence that gratitude training improves mindfulness, optimism, self-control, and quality of life (McKenzie & Stewart, 2002). Although there is no specific research into gratitude techniques, we know that gratitude training improves mindfulness, optimism, physical strength, improved sleep quality and decreased anxiety levels. These outcomes are the direct results of improving gratitude within our personalities and lives.

Gratitude is another form of the gesture of gratitude, which includes activities to increase gratitude. Research shows that gratitude meditation increases gratitude behaviours (Emmons et al., 2009). Studies by Emmons et al. (2009) show results of gratitude meditators showed they experienced lower levels of stress, depression and unhappiness than the control groups. The authors concluded that gratitude practice is a powerful technique for promoting health and wellbeing. One way is by reducing depression and helping us develop gratitude skills.

How does The Gesture Of Gratitude Impact Everyone?

When we express gratitude to others we are giving them the gift of experiencing gratitude in return. People appreciate grateful people. Additionally, when we practice gratitude towards others, they reciprocate gratitude to us. They express gratitude toward those who practice gratitude to them. Such as in soccer, when a player makes certain passes they see their opponents make, they offer gratitude back to the opponents. All of this benefits everyone. To see how gratitude helps in increasing personal happiness, here is an interesting article by Michael Hollis in Scientific American. He says this

“I don’t think happiness is limited to physical aspects of wellbeing. I believe that all of us contribute to the mind, emotion, body, and soul, and so far as I can tell, gratitude is one of the biggest contributors to well-being.” –Michael Hollis

Gratitude has a tremendous impact on our personality and overall life. Many studies carried out on human psychology showed that if we were positive most of the time we would always be grateful and that gratefulness is related to healthy psychological and emotional aspects (Emmons et al., 2009). Also, gratitude affects our cognitive abilities and attention span.

Gratitude is a great tool for individuals of all types to use in enhancing their own mindfulness and gratitude. As a matter of fact, gratitude can help us become better at learning new skills like patience, compassion, resilience, gratitude and forgiveness. Moreover, gratitude helps us learn empathy, compassion and forgiveness. The concept of gratitude is now becoming increasingly popular in society, as a result of its power and ability to improve our mood and our general wellbeing. More importantly, gratitude is gaining traction in business. Businesses are beginning to take advantage of the benefits it offers and invest heavily in programs to teach and inspire gratitude.

How does The Gesture Of Gratitude Help You Improve Your Life and Relationships?

Since gratitude brings so much energy to our lives if our minds and hearts can change their attitudes then by learning gratitude we can improve relationships in our daily interactions.

For an individual to enjoy a relationship with another, gratitude will need to be part of his/her lifestyle. However, there is no right or wrong answer on how gratitude should go with our relationships. Every relationship is unique, however, some advice is that one should never stop gratitude after having a difficult relationship, but rather continue practising gratitude consistently. Learning gratitude creates a sense of acceptance in our partners and allows them to forgive us. While forgiving forgiveness is an important aspect of a loving relationship, it can’t create one without knowing gratitude beforehand. There are times throughout our lives we can come up with reasons why we should forgive someone, but the key to establishing forgiveness is understanding before forgiving another. Some people stop forgiveness after they have been forgiven and resent the person they have already forgiven. Others stop forgiving after they have spent weeks making mistakes because they were punished for it. Either way, continuous practice of gratitude can give our partners the best possible outcome and build our relationships in ways we never have seen before.

So by spending time practising gratitude in your relationships, you can begin to get the most from it and achieve everything you could ever think you could or wish to.

The Gesture Of Gratitude Is Related To Meditation Practice

Through mindfulness training and gratitude practices, both men and women reported improvements in their physical health. Women who did mindfulness training saw improvements in heart rhythm and blood pressure. Men who practised gratitude showed improvements in their sleep and reduced fatigue. Another study found there is a link between mindfulness practices and improved attention span and a new sense of gratitude.

Mental Practices That Can Cause Appreciation

There are various mental processes that cause gratitude if practised properly. First off, gratitude requires effort. Therefore, it takes conscious effort and attention, sometimes even patience. Next, gratitude requires self-awareness. Being aware of ourselves and all that we do is a very basic understanding of gratitude as described above. Finally, gratitude requires honesty in our communication. Honesty is something we can improve over time through regular practice.

Exercise Tips For Developing Gratitude Skills Within Us

Here are some tips we think might help us master gratitude skills:

-Keep track of our gratitude progress -Keeping a journal about how much gratitude we have given back to the Universe will help us keep track of our progress. Keeping a gratitude journal, as mentioned above, also helps us stay mindful of how we feel and what we may need to do in order to maintain gratitude. Keeping our gratitude journals will help us avoid the tendency for negativity in our gratitude journal, something else we can train ourselves to prevent (Hollis, 2012).

-Practice gratitude in everyday interactions -As mentioned previously, gratitude can affect our relationships with others. Whether we are interacting with friends, family members or strangers, we can practice gratitude consistently throughout our everyday interactions. Taking gratitude, like exercising gratitude in our relationships, helps us improve our relationships even more. As discussed earlier in the article, this can be accomplished through taking gratitude when facing difficult situations and continuing gratitude when things go well. Here are some suggestions for engaging with gratitude in everyday interactions:

-Practicing gratitude in conversations -First and foremost, I would suggest learning gratitude by learning gratitude in conversation. Rather than waiting for things to change, we may ask for advice on how to talk with others about gratitude and encourage wisdom when practising gratitude (Wang et al., 2005).

-Practices gratitude in gratitude writing -To continue developing gratitude skills, we should write gratitude as a method for developing gratitude skills. Doing gratitude writing will enable us to understand gratitude more clearly and gain valuable insight into gratitude concepts. Writing gratitude cards and letters to loved ones, especially children, helps in building our gratitude skills by putting together gratitude concepts and experiences into a single piece. Furthermore, writing gratitude letters gives us the chance to revisit memories of gratitude, a process called flashback therapy. Sometimes we forget things in life or end up forgetting things by doing things in reverse. Remind yourself to look back at lessons from past and future experiences. Start the next time you write gratitude letters to loved ones and remind the reader how the lesson relates to gratefulness, gratitude and your future.

Conclusion

There are numerous aspects that influence our lifestyles, but the gesture of gratitude is definitely one of them. We can’t expect gratitude to remain constant throughout all of humanity. Humans tend to constantly focus on gratitude, whether consciously or subconsciously, whether positive or negative. Regardless of our upbringing or circumstances, gratitude remains an extremely powerful force to nurture. The list of reasons why we should embrace gratitude and gratefulness in our lives may never exhaust itself.

How to make other lives beautiful with colours

I had recently read a book that changed the way I see myself in colour (by which I mean the way my brain sees it). I was so enthralled by this fascinating and inspiring story, but what struck me most about reading the story was the number of times it re-emerged itself again in my thinking and day to day life. Now, this is a completely subjective story, as its subject is not just one person who says it, but many different people who experienced similar things. It made me realise something important in my life — everything that happens now or before, and that no matter what is happening today, there is always something else that is happening around us that we cannot control. So this post may be limited to sharing why colour helps bring beauty into everyday life and experience, rather than all of the aspects of each of these stories. It is only a small part, but it shows how it can have an almost magical impact on our personal lives. And maybe there are some things that we would never have thought possible just hearing someone say it and experiencing it first-hand. But I'm here today to share why colour adds so much value for us in life and may offer hope for others who hear the same message.

Colour is used for hundreds of years in art and architecture. Paintings by artists like Michelangelo, James McNeill and Damien Hirst are masterpieces of colouring and colour choices. The story of colour is told in countless books by people all across the world who have experienced it for themselves. Many use colour to communicate and express their feelings on topics such as love, relationships and religion. Colour has been used since ancient times for art purposes, including drawings with animals, plants, objects and figures. People who want to grow old, lose weight and even paint their fingernails all use colouring to help them achieve their goals. And I suppose I could put together a list of thousands of ways that colour has a powerful impact on human experiences, especially in childhood. Let's explore some of colour's power to impact your own life and experiences, and discover how you can apply that to others within your daily life.

Colour has tremendous power to change. When you feel happy, you feel better and more attractive to others. You become less concerned about being liked, accepted and appreciated, and are more likely to keep your partner, friends and family close. Life becomes happier for you, you become more open and expressive, and you become more content and self-aware. Being able to understand what is going on with other people changes your outlook and makes you more connected to that person, and therefore feel more special. Your eyes are bright with hope and your hearing clear and clear. For some couples, the ability to talk openly and effectively are two huge benefits of having children together. Friends become closer and more supportive, love grows stronger and you learn more about yourself as a couple — and this all starts when you experience these amazing benefits, too! In addition to relationships, I’m sure you know a few kids who just started college who use coloured pencils for assignments. They just got through classes, have big dreams, get good grades and are really enjoying the process of learning. These kids will change the way your whole family looks because they are clearly feeling confident and happy, not worrying about “how do they ever meet?” They will have great relationships with a new teacher because their teachers have also noticed how much they enjoy and excel at the classwork. Those kids will feel content and grateful for their future choices in life because they learn how to take care of themselves as well as their loved ones. And if you’re thinking, “What about those kids whose parents don’t support them? What if they don’t know how to do anything right, or simply aren’t meeting enough? Why does my parent not support them and do my sister’s parents just stand by and watch them suffer?” Well, I’ll tell you why: If I were the only child left in my family, then I don’t know what I would do for myself. No one in my family wants to take on the burden of taking care of me when I am so emotionally fragile and unable to support myself financially. My grandmother, who raised me as her son, loves me dearly, but she doesn't think that she is doing all the hard work on me and raising me, so she leaves me with some very bad decisions. Even though this doesn't seem fair to children because they are watching that mother and father suffer from lack of support and not knowing how to support themselves, my daughter goes in without any sort of guidance, and it causes conflict between her brother and me. She blames me for making poor decisions after a difficult decision and feels lonely and unhappy. As children, I’ve come to realise how much trouble these types of situations cause for young women who don’t know how to overcome financial barriers to care for themselves.

I went through difficult things in my own life where I was unsure of what to do and how long it might take to get better. Instead of staying depressed or alone, I decided to try out what I knew. After months of practice and research, I began to draw and paint again. I found I wasn’t worried anymore about my mental health or finances, and it all started when I bought the first painting kit. Over these past years, I’ve drawn all kinds of animals and birds, flowers and landscapes, shapes and patterns. There’s nothing quite so rewarding as drawing, but I did not expect to draw animals or landscapes in particular until I purchased my second painting kit a year ago. That year I kept writing my hopes to another page of my mind. Each of those pages was asking every day what kind of animal and landscape I would want to draw next…and then drawing exactly what I wanted to draw the next day! I know what you’re probably thinking. I didn't buy any artwork supplies, nor did I do any research (or any type of artistic work) to create the painting kit that I loved using, but that didn’t stop me from creating colourful and realistic paintings, drawings and drawings! I chose to draw my wishes for each day for several reasons. First, I could draw whatever I wanted. Second, I felt grateful for the opportunity to express my emotions and feelings, and finally, I felt empowered.

The key to buying a painting kit is to find a good artist. Not every artist can do a wonderful job with the brush, but those with real creativity and passion for colour draw inspiration from other artists. We are all full of colour, but when done properly, it takes us to places we wouldn’t normally go. Some of the best examples I've seen in my travels have been with talented artists. From painters to photographers who work with oil paints and watercolours, to designers who employ the latest techniques and computerized artistry. Whatever it is, there is an expert painter who understands colour, and who makes it look beautiful and powerful. My favourite artist for colour in my life is J. Marion Sims, who works with oil and acrylic colour brushes and with large numbers of watercolour brushes. His work includes both figurative and abstract artworks that convey images from nature and figures. He has become extremely popular on Instagram and Etsy, and I often search his name on google. If you already have a strong passion for colours, and you want to mix shades of different tones or hues, he is the perfect artist. If you wondering if his work is actually considered “art”? Yes, his work is truly an art. Nothing can hide from him, the raw power of colour is something you never experience unless you spend time immersed in his art. Every day he shares behind the scenes of his works, and we never know where we will hit upon them as our minds wander from sketch to paper or canvas to fabric. I don't know if that sounds ridiculous, but it does sound crazy, right? All throughout his career, he produces incredibly impressive pieces of work. On top of that, his pieces aren't just meant to be beautiful, but they can speak loud and clear to millions of adults. Most of the time, his work appears on national monuments, government buildings and buildings, and museums. His work with large numbers of brushes, and oils over a while seems to produce stunning, moving art. His work with multiple brushes looks great, too, and I highly recommend his piece entitled "Three Days." This series of paintings depicts three days in nature in different locations and stages of growth, along with the unique growth of each animal on display. I won't give your heart a skip and I promise you the largest piece of art you ever see. Also, I’d like to add that if you’re interested in studying this technique, visit VocalArt here on Medium. Their site is filled to the brim with tutorials covering the topic of colour theory and artistic expression. In general, I would encourage anyone to invest the time in understanding and mastering this form of art and sculpture to unlock its limitless potential. Colour in art, even just one small detail, speaks far more than it may seem at glance.

Colours are a very powerful language. Learning how to interpret colour is important in life and in society. Understanding colour in a combination of various shades, hues, saturation, warm and cool, and how well we use colour and shape its influence in different forms of art and design is the starting point to appreciating art. When I started drawing animals and other shapes, the lessons I learned in the initial stages of drawing came back into effect. Before drawing animals, I would not draw a real animal, instead, I would use a picture of the animal.

The Humen greeds

The Humen Greeds

What are The Humen Greeds?

The Humen Greed refers to a type of anxiety disorder called Panic Disorder, which is caused by extreme fear or dread that can affect you in almost any way (for example the person may find it difficult to breathe because they can’t take enough air).

Although this condition is not new or recent, there’s an increase in people who use drugs and alcohol for their anxiety and other mental health issues

Because of The Humen Greeds, we all have our own unique ways of dealing with anxiety, but sometimes some of us can cause too much stress in this situation. If you are afraid about something so serious or uncomfortable, then it will be better if you go get help immediately.

What is The Humen Greeds?

According to Mayo Clinic Staff, “The term panic disorder is often used interchangeably with stress disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, somatoform disorders, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders. The word panic disorder was first introduced in 1894 in Germany.

In my personal experience, I experienced panic disorder as if every single thing around me were going crazy. To clarify, it means just being scared in everyday situations. When there is nothing else going on inside or outside of us, we will be put in control and we also can have all types of things happen when we don’t care for what would happen if the circumstances change.

In panic disorder, we have no problem taking care of ourselves and we will always think of ourselves as being responsible and responsible, but we cannot take care of others. For instance, if we do nothing about something, or we do nothing out of concern, we feel bad because there is nothing for them to worry about. We also tend to blame others that are causing the problems in their life for making us scared because the most important thing for us is thinking we can make them happy and healthy. These are all examples. There are also more dangerous issues. In panic disorder, we are terrified to go to work, we feel worried about the future and we might even do everything we can to stop what is happening. It may make your heart beat fast and you can feel shaky and weak all day long. So, if this sounds like that situation, then don’t stay thinking it’s normal, it is something very different and has its own definition.

The Most Common Reasons the Humen Greeds

There are many different factors that are causing us to become anxious. Some of these factors may be due to your own family history, you may be suffering from an illness that affects the brain, you may suffer from high blood pressure or another mental issue such as depression. Whatever the reason may be, you want to know about those, if any of them, that may be causing it to affect you and to do what you can to help you out of the Humen Greeds.

The Humen Greeds Symptoms

First, let’s look at one common symptom of Humen Greeds. Sometimes, we have our stress or another emotional issue that can cause us to worry so much more than other times when we are having panic and find it difficult to breathe. Let’s take a moment and reflect on what causes this. People who suffer from panic disorder are usually someone with a severe history of anxiety or if they were diagnosed with it a significant amount of time ago. This type of behaviour is known as PTSD

When they were diagnosed with PTSD, they had to deal with PTSD flashbacks and nightmares. They are not able to function normally and the pain that comes along with PTSD is that they get irritable and angry out of nowhere. Another symptom of the Humen Greeds is that they have trouble concentrating and working on tasks that are important to their lives. After getting involved with emotions, they may have difficulty performing tasks that are important to their life such as jobs and socializing. Many of them may also be unable to eat food that might trigger them. Not only could they have PTSD episodes, but as well, the other symptoms are quite similar to PTSD except for the ones below. PTSD is the main disorder that makes them lose control of their other emotions.

Stress, Family History

Another common factor at risk for developing human greed is that we might be suffering from some kind of disease that affects our brain, brain stem, adrenal glands or nervous system. I have talked a lot about my experiences with panic disorder on this page. The last factor is that in general, humans have been feeling stressed a certain number of times over the years (sometimes a lot). As explained before, there are reasons why we are so anxious. Sometimes the reason why we are concerned is that we have a strong history of anxiety, if we are experiencing an ongoing illness that will affect our brain or one of our hormone organs or if we have problems with stress for a large period of time. All these factors are also part of the Humen Greeds.

The Humen Greeds Causes

Other factors causing Humen Greeds are that we suffer from chronic illnesses, physical illnesses, or trauma to the brain. Depression, stress from physical Illness, and PTSD are a few others. All of these factors do not directly cause the Humen Greeds but they definitely play an increasing role in making our lives harder. The Humen Greeds make it hard for us to communicate or handle emotion appropriately or effectively. But the good news is that they might not lead to suicide. There is a possibility that the Humen Greeds can cause us to talk up emotionally and not stop there, as well. We might be depressed and we can have rage attacks that lead to violence and revenge on people. You never know. But we all can learn and we should learn how to overcome Humen Greeds.

Who Is Affected By The Humen Greeds and How Does It Start?

The Humen Greeds can be treated at home through various programs, it is not necessary to visit a mental hospital for treatment. With these programs, we can educate ourselves on how to handle Humen Greeds.

For example, You can see A&R and behavioural therapy programs. Once we understand how to manage Humen Greeds and how to cope with it, we can decide if the program to see is right for us. One other great option you can try is medication. Medication is a very helpful part of building coping skills so that we can learn how to combat Humen Greeds. Mental Health Treatment:

If you are looking for mental health treatment options to deal with Humen Greeds, you might want to know who you can reach out to get help. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has a list of major medical centres that offer treatment for mental illnesses including Substance Abuse (NAMI), Family Planning Services Programs (FPSP) and Mental Healthcare Network (MHN), among others. According to APA Staff, “Mental Health Treatment encompasses various therapies focusing on helping individuals to heal both physically and mentally. Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness meditation, relaxation training, Yoga, relaxation training, mindfulness-based stress management, behavioural individual skills training, positive psychology, cognitive development training, and evidence-based rehabilitation.”

I wish you would see it because one of my friends has personally seen all these mental healthcare services available and it is something to consider in terms of fighting Humen Greeds. It takes time to understand Humen Greeds and then a professional counsellor could provide us with programs and help us to understand how to deal with the Humen Greeds. I hope this article helps you as much as possible.
