Only 2 Exercises to Become Slim

I like to stumble different sites in internet but had not much time for it. That is why I liked to pass some time in Facebook where there are many persons but  they normally only forward photos from one to other. Now I discovered Pinterest and like to visit it: my "friends" are those who likes animals and I can to relax there looking on the nice muzzles of puppies etc.

One of my Facebook friends found me in Pinterest, too. Yesterday she added some photos about the weight loss exercises. I decided that these photos are interesting for you, too because they explain really easy to do things. Here are the photos. I think, they do not need explanations. We have only do them at least one time a day for 20 minutes, as said in the last photo.

Looking for Affordable Health Insurance

Many persons look for affordable health insurance today. It's not only for the costs of health care that grow faster than many other expenses. The problem is that there are many options and proposals and the choice is always harder to make. Internet offers different solutions for those who needs a health insurance but  here is one site that collects all of them and gives us the possibility to take a conscious decision.

AffordableHealthInsurance.org contains tools for the choice of a health insurance, exactly. But the main task of it is to explain it's visitors the difficult concepts essential to understand the situation. For example, if you do not know what is "Obamacare" about, you have to read a special article where all the advantages and disadvantages of this project are clearly explained. Very useful and easy to comprehend content of the site is really it's power point.

Very important is the information about the affordable health insurance programs divided by every single state. These pages contain short explanations of the health care system of the state you are reading about and  advises to consider in every case. Than, you find the links to the official sites and can study their offers. Then, you will surely turn back to use the tool "compare and save free quotes" because this search possibility make your hard task to find your health insurance simple and easy.

Natural Diet for Irritated Intestine

Irritated Intestine is a sad reality for many thousands of persons. If not most of us. Colitis, gastritis accompany our stressed, worried and always-in-hurry life. One day we have to pass to the "next step" - rigorous diet. Nothing to do. It's impossible to live with all those medicines. Everybody understands it today.

So, what to eat?
Every non-irritating food boiled or backed.
Nothing cold.
And drinks. Fortunately, both tea and coffee are allowed. But the very best is the dog rose. Chamomile  is good, too. Nothing carbonated.
Potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, squash and beet. No cabbages -even boiled.
Boiled beef and soups with beef tea. No veal (for hormones).

"Natural medicine". Because other remedies do not work... even for short periods.

Apples - among the fruits. Those -boiled or backed. Nothing fresh.

What a terrible life!!!!!

I wanted to share my recipe of backed apples. Very easy and sweet.


Take a deep oven dish. Put there apples without their central part. You can do it with the simple knife. Cut from one and than from the other part.


Put inside what you like to eat. Quark, or marmalade or what you want.
I like raisins, little grains of hazelnuts. Just to give some more taste.

By the way. This is the knife for squashes. It's good for apples, too.


some sugar if you use acid apples


cover the oven dish...


and put it in the oven. 240°C and 10 minutes are perfect. More than 10 are good, too. The apples will open.  The rind will crack.

My Difficult Relationship With Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils (different balms etc) for healing purposes. The molecules enter in our nose, then pass directly in our brain. Our immune system responds on this "provocation" creating complicated chemical processes. That is how it works. And that is why it works much more fast than any other therapy.

It's clear that this kind of therapy was one of the first branches of medicine. Not only. From the first years of his existence, homo sapience uses balsamic substances for spiritual rituals and conservation - from foods to bodies.

Did you know that the Antic Romans were very able to create perfumes? And they made them from roses and lilies. This production was so large that it's possible to call it industry. In such excavation sites like Pompei and nearby villas were found entire plantations of flowers.

Now, you are maybe curious, why I wrote that strange title? Was it only to attract your attention? No, it's truth. I really do not support most smells and am not a good object for aromatherapy. Since I prefer alternative medicines, as you know, I would like to use essential oils for the cures. But... Nothing to do. Why? I don't know. It's an error of the Creator, I think. Or maybe, better, it's His plan, since it's difficult to think that the Creator can to have errors. :-)))

Dzogchen Practice Meetings in Nocera Superiore

Buddhism is always popular in all the European countries and even Sud Italy that stands out of all others for it's traditionalism succumbs more and more on Buddhism's fashion. No, the persons do not look for other religions etc. They only look for the ways to survive on the difficulties of the crises. Well, what I can say you: it's always better -as for me- to change religion, for example, than to suicide, don't you think? There were really many persons who chose it from the beginning of the crisis in Italy.

This autumn I knew that there are different persons interested in Buddhism teachings in the region I live and they asked me to have courses of preparation for the spring teachings of our Master. I did not want to do it, first. I prefer to practice individually, and I did not want to be obliged to arrive at the same time every week. but than I accepted it to have a new group and the teachings in my zone.

We have to begin next week. And here is the brochure about the meditation together


There are many quotes about the Dzogchen meditation, I wrote about it in this blog, too. If you are interested to know more, you can read about it in Bonpedia, for example.

I will surely not teach anybody. I only want to have my personal meditation practice some more scheduled, not so casual as it is in the last period.

Wish me success with this courses!

Computer and Our Eyes

There is nothing new in this confirmation: if you sit all the day near your PC, your eyes become weak and your sight goes from bad to worse every day.

It's about me, too.

From my 7 years, I had always weak sight. But it stabilized at about 17 years and was -5 dioptre... till the arrival of the pc in our house. Since I have to work at pc all the day long -and you know how it is for those who works at home: we do not have breaks etc. We remain sticked to it all the day long forgetting about everything.

Now, as I just told you in my previous posts, I decided to begin my battle with the bad functioning of my body. Yes, you are right, it's normal at my age, but those persons which can control themselves have young bodies -and they are older then me. So, my dear friends, 50 years are not an excuse to be like a hippo. It's only our laziness. The body does not work so as we would like but we can help it!

So, we begin with the famous program-timer I mentioned in my previous post
Healty Eyes Timer

Now, there are simple settings that change time for work and time for exercises. I installed 25 minutes of work and 60 seconds of exercises. Now, a little window went out and said me I have to begin my break in 30 seconds. After that, a sound says me to begin the break. Honestly, 60 seconds are not enough for my exercises. I need 80 or 100 seconds. I do exercises for my belly, for eyes.

Who knows, maybe, I'll be able to show you that excellent young body, too, as my friends do this year...

By the way, if you want a program for your eyes, here (in russian) is a great system to follow: Exercises for Eyes

Some Healthy Exercises to Do Near Computer

This year I worked with many persons who come here, in Italy for business or in vacation. All of them were so thin that it seemed to me they would be able to hide themselves behind a rod. Since I continue to add kilos day by day and there is nothing what could stop this tendency, I could not understand how is it possible to arrive at this enviable result. Than, I noticed that they were able to walk with me without any break for hours and, listening to them, I understood, they do not eat any sweeties at all. "Now, -said one mother to her boys,- you can eat an ice-cream this evening!" Oh my dear, I thought, it's terrible!!!

Well, she, this mother, is surely right. There are so many fat children today! I agree with some researchers that our passion for sugar, this constant desire to eat something sweet, became a dependence. Specially, we, women, working at the computer (which -what an odd coincidence!- is situating not too far from the pc) can't renounce on some visits in the kitchen...

Aaaahhhhh... Yes, I hate my thighs and my hanging abdomen. So, I began a new life from yesterday. Now, I have a little but very useful program installed in my pc. This program is an alarm. I installed it for 25 minutes of work and 60 seconds of break. I have a carpet here, nearby, and have a list of exercises to do in one of my sites. Fitness exercises for slim belly

From the other side, I subscribed a special psychological newsletter to fight my sugar dependence. I still did not receive any mail from this program but, I hope, they will arrive and I'll be able to tell you about them sortly. And here is one more exercise I do not have on the page I mentioned earlier.
