People have been trying to stock up on food for a long time, so to speak "for a rainy day." But due to the lack of refrigerators and other technologies to store food, our ancestors smoked and dried fish and meat, and made jam from berries. Canned food allows you to keep food ready for a long time. The method of canning in cans was patented back in 1825. Since then, industrial canned food has been produced. But are they dangerous to health or not?

Now there are many ways to prevent pregnancy: contraception, pills, spirals and coitus interruptus. If you remove the penis from the bosom of a girl before ejaculation, then the onset of pregnancy is reduced to zero?

Cleanliness is the key to health. Each of us has heard this phrase many times, and we walk through life with this motto: shower in the morning to wake up, in the evening to relieve stress during the day and it was easier to fall asleep. Is it so good to take a shower every day?

According to the conclusion of doctors, during the shower, the body loses some particles that make up the hydrolipid film on our body. Its main function is to protect our body from various viruses, fungi, infections.

Taking a shower every day, or even several times a day, we violate the integrity of this hydrolipid film, which takes about a day to regenerate. This film is formed from the secretion of the sebaceous glands, and if its integrity is constantly violated, then the entire regeneration process can be disrupted. Making such a conclusion, doctors do not convince to stop swimming, but, nevertheless, it is necessary to realize that people who daily wash off the hydrolipid film are more defenseless against the attack of viruses and bacteria.

How often should you shower?

Experts in the field of hygiene and epidemiology advise to shower 3-4 times a week, that is, every other day. Such periodicity will help preserve the hydrolipid film and thereby reduce the risk of various viral and other diseases. Taking a shower every other day does not mean giving up hygiene on the other days, washing hands, feet, armpits and genitals has not yet been canceled.

For those who cannot refuse daily bathing, there are some simple recommendations: do not use very hot water, as there is a risk of drying out the skin, refuse antibacterial soap, choosing a regular toilet with neutral acidity. Once every 7 to 10 days, you need to use a body scrub, which will remove dead cells and stimulate regeneration. It is better to give preference to organic or fine scrubs, which will not damage the skin. After water treatments, it is recommended to apply a cream or body oil to the skin.

Today all of us are smart, advanced. Will see enough professional athletes and do it every day! Especially if the goal is weight loss. Here, what has not been invented - losing weight races for money on Instagram, social competitions in clubs for those who are rich in the number of visits, banal forum races for the number of kilometers on a treadmill. Personally, I think that all this is not very necessary, rather useless and sometimes dangerous. And you can practice every day only if you are a professional athlete or coach, or just a person who, after a hard workout, is able to eat and sleep during the day, and not rush to the next presentation of a very important product in order to promote your company. And even then, if there is periodization, varying the load and you train not "the ass, biceps, back, press", but different physical qualities. Let's take a look at popular approaches to training every day.

Why is it needed

Let's say you are an accountant. All your job is to sit at the computer for 8 or sometimes 12 hours a day. You love your kind of activity and do not strive for phyto-babies. But from your favorite kind of activity, in addition to an impressive salary, your neck also gets numb, your arms and head hurt, and you just get tired of sitting morally all day. You should heed the WHO recommendations and include 30 minutes of physical activity in your day.

It is worth considering that a respected organization recommends these half an hour a day not so that we do CrossFit in them or throw weights. And in order to walk, jog, or just walk. In general, this story is not even about cardio, but simply about moving the body in space.

Will it help you lose weight? A big question, the answer to which depends on how we eat right. But often “just walks” and so on are not attractive for obvious reasons. We spend the day in uncomfortable clothes and shoes that we don't want to walk in. And after work we just want to be where there are no strangers and quietly, at home, that is. Then the idea of \u200b\u200btraining every day arises.

Newbie

My opinion is quite simple. Beginners shouldn't do strength training every day, and shouldn't use split. This can lead to serious consequences. When do you stop being a beginner? At least a year of regular classes. How to be a beginner with a sedentary job? For example, like this:

    we choose any 3 days, not in a row, but every other day, and work in them strength exercises with a trainer. The task for the trainer is how to “learn how to do basic exercises,” and not how to “lose weight with exercise,” otherwise the specialist will drive you in a predominantly aerobic mode so that you simply burn more calories. And this is precisely what is not needed now;

    4 days remain. We devote a couple of them to simple aerobic exercise. Think of something like half an hour of walking on the “start” of the aerobic zone, or doing the same workout in an elliptical trainer or stationary bike. The remaining two days are any gymnastics with stretching elements of your choice. Whether it's fitness yoga or stretching. Moreover, it is better if you go to the trainer for stretch, at least for group classes. Choose not the workouts in which the pilon dancers stretch, they practice a rather tough stretch like in artistic gymnastics. Go for a couple of months like a mind body or some other group club lesson to get the necessary mobility.

    So you can fit 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity into your day and you can beat hypodynamia.

When you can't do this: And now a dose of reality. How long do you sleep? And what is the calorie content of your diet? If the answers are something like 5-6 hours and "the need minus 1000 kcal per day", tie it to daily workouts. Chances are you are not a Wolverine to regenerate from nothing. Well, or you don't need to lose weight at all if you are a Wolverine.

Intermediate and daily training

Typical classes for the intermediate level of training, we solve the following tasks:

    power generation. That is, you learn one of the following: plyometrics, kettlebell lifting, snatch and clean and jerk weightlifting or sprints with near maximum load;

    training one of the basic strength exercises. Bench press, squat or deadlift. For those "who need additional classes" - also pull-ups and one of the available options for the army press. Moreover, all this is not "laid down" in one training day, as in the case of gentlemen of bodybuilders, but "spread out" throughout the week so that our sports hero has time to recover;

    assistive exercises. Light duty with medium weight, with rest, and calm, please. There can be "isolation" for those who are more oriented towards aesthetic goals. Or variants of basic exercises that work out certain "weak points" of the basic movements, for those who are more important about strength. Or some hybrid of the first and the second;

    offp or endurance training. If a comrade with us strives for quick weight loss, the temptation is great to "shove" a treadmill into his training plan as well. But right, as everyone guessed, not so. What is the right way then? Individually select the number of GPP exercises (it can be a circular training, a set with a barbell, kettlebells, dumbbells) or the notorious cardio, which will not "kill" the client, but will simply serve as a bridge between work and rest;

    stretching

So, typical tasks for an intermediate level involve a maximum of 4 workouts per week. On rest days, you can go for a stretch or yoga, and do some kind of non-shock cardio, like a pool. An exception can only be people who do not exercise power for one reason or another (physical limitations, posture disorders, injuries). They can do slightly more intense cardio on their free days, such as pushing the same sleds in a sprint style or, if health allows, working with kettlebells or running in an interval style.

In terms of accessible, it would be better if you do not practice every day if you have already reached this level of fitness. The weights here, as a rule, already tend to the weight of their own body. And it is quite easy to get injured, having overly tired the central nervous system with your "jumping". How are nerves and injuries related? It’s very simple, comrades, who “sweat” every day from afar, can be seen from a specific “inhibition” and impaired coordination of movements. Want physical activity? Learn to walk, or as some fans do, read books on the treadmill. But just don't train in the gym.

The laws of the bodybuilding world

But those who train not physical qualities, but "muscles" have a significant plus. He's also a minus. Having reached a certain level, they are forced to conduct about 5 workouts a week in the gym. Yes, and do cardio. But completely different schemes already work there - you have to "go through" one muscle group a maximum of 2 times a week, and carefully build in cardio in the volume that personally does not cause "degradation" in you, that is, a decrease in the level of muscle.

But what about advanced fitness professionals, can they be every day? Long-time practitioners should, in my humble opinion, choose a side or cycle work on physical qualities. Endurance training can be set up to 6 per week. Strength training - no, just like power at speed, it becomes incompatible with life on average over 4 sessions per week. So maybe it's worth thinking about quality as a measure of training effectiveness?

After conducting research, scientists have found that daily hygiene procedures can indeed do some harm. But not in all cases. A negative effect occurs when often harsh antibacterial soap, which completely destroys the top layer on the skin - this is the thinnest fatty film that protects it from external influences and bacteria. It is this film that provides elasticity and a fresh look to the skin.

In order to negate the negative effect of bath procedures, but not to become dirty, you can advise a few things. For starters, don't use harsh cleansers. In general, do not wash with a washcloth daily: if you have not had heavy physical activity, then it is enough just to rinse your body. Next, adjust the water temperature to your usual temperature. It shouldn't be too hot.

Daily shampooing

Whether to wash your hair every day: such a question for many is not even worth it. If the hair is short and needs to be styled, it is often almost impossible to do this without washing your hair. Nevertheless, this can cause the same problems, but one more is added: from frequent washing, the hair begins to fall out.

How can you minimize negative consequences? Almost the same. Choose the shampoo that's right for you. If you wash your hair every day, then the shampoo should be appropriate. Usually, in this case, they write on the bottle: "Suitable for daily use."

Do not wash your hair with hot water. At the end of the bath procedures, rinse the scalp with cool water. This will narrow the hair follicles on your scalp, so you won't lose more hair than usual when brushing.

Don't forget about the various balms and conditioners that allow your hair and scalp to "recover" from the shock of washing. Do not blow dry your hair immediately after turning off the water. Give them 10-15 minutes to dry, at which time you can blot them with an additional towel. Also, be careful when choosing a comb so that it does not pull out your hair. Since the hair follicles are always somewhat relaxed after washing, it is better not to comb wet hair at all.
