Many are usually stretching only before running or swimming, but it is much better to devote a whole workout to this. The point of stretching is not that you can split. Read about the benefits of stretching in today’s article.



## Skin tightness

During stretching, the blood flow to the muscles increases significantly and supplies them with oxygen. An accelerated metabolism helps to burn fat deposits, and the skin becomes more toned.



## Posture

Regular training improves the balance of the body, relieves tightness in the muscles. Due to this, pain in the back and lower back disappears, accumulation of internal salts is prevented and postural irregularities are corrected.



## Stress relief

A rush of blood fights spasms and constrictions in the muscles that occur as a result of the release of stress hormones. Relaxation normalizes nerve conduction and helps to cope with negative emotions.



## Self-confidence

Sitting with a beautiful back and walking with one’s head held high is quite possible – stretching exercises are relaxing and have an effective psychological effect.

Chinese tea has always been famous for its healing properties. It is still used in alternative medicine not only for the treatment of specific diseases but also for general rejuvenating and health effects on the body. And by regularly consuming Chinese oolong tea, you can bring your body in perfect harmony.



## What is oolong

China produces many varieties of tea: from white and green to red and turquoise. Milk oolong tea for weight loss is considered the most popular and effective. What is this product?



It occupies an intermediate place between black and green tea, as the technology is close to both. Oolong tea, or turquoise tea, is semi-fermented. The degree of fermentation can reach 60-90%: for this reason in China, you can find milk oolong with very different tastes and aromas.



Oolong is produced in many factories, but its best varieties are in Fujian Province. 



There are varieties with a multifaceted aftertaste. The diversity is due to the peculiarities of production, which involves the following stages:

- collection of the mature leaves;
- pre-drying and wilting;
- twisting to extract the juice;
- oxidation at a certain level of humidity and temperature;
- drying, packing.

There are special time frames for each type of oolong tea. It applies especially to the time of crumpling and oxidation. In appearance, oolong tea can be different shades: from turquoise or dark green to brown.



## Oolong for weight loss

The compound of a special biologically active substance – polyphenols effectively breaks down fat and removes it from the body. So, this type of tea is great for weight loss. For overweight people, regular use will help to improve the figure.

 

Oriental scientists have long proven that Chinese tea for weight loss is much more effective than regular green tea. It helps to regulate metabolic processes in the human body. Just a couple of cups a day speed up metabolism and block the absorption of fat. 



The significant property of milk oolong tea is low caffeine amount. Therefore, regular use of oolong for weight loss by obese people allows you to normalize metabolic processes in the body. And it helps to burn extra calories.



## Tea preparation

To get the most out of using this product for weight loss, you need to learn how to properly brew this tea drink. Its preparation is quite a complex process that requires concentration. Brewing recommendations must be followed. 

1. For tea leaves to give off all their taste, aroma and nutrients, it is necessary to boil water and cool it to 90 degrees, as the temperature is ideal for brewing oolong.
2. The teapot should be heated by holding it over a candle or pouring boiling water over it a couple of times. When heating the kettle, make sure that it is evenly hot on all sides. If the kettle is heated with boiling water, it must be wiped dry before filling the tea leaves. 
3. At the last stage, a teaspoon of tea leaves is poured into the kettle, filled with water and infused for five minutes, after which the tea is poured into cups.

A drink that helps to lose weight even during sleep: milk oolong

Coaches and doctors talk about the amazing benefit of pilates and claim that it has no contraindications, suitable for everyone: women and men, adults and children. What is pilates and what are its main principles? GoBeauty Blog learned about this.



## Principles of pilates systems

The effectiveness of the system is based on principles that guarantee tangible and lasting results. There are 9 basic principles of pilates:



*The smoothness of movements*. Classes should be conducted at an average pace, without shakes and excessive effort.



*Breath*. A special breathing regimen must be observed while performing the exercises to achieve a more pronounced result. Breathing should be done before the start of the movement, and exhalation – in the process.



*Isolation and relaxation*. Exercise should be performed in such a way that you do not create unnecessary stress in areas outside of which you are working.



*Concentration*. During pilates training, it is important to concentrate on doing the right exercises without distracting yourself from outside thoughts.



*Centring*. Exercises should be performed with an active “force belt”, ie with the abdominal muscles involved.



*Levelling*. In the process of performing the exercises, you need to follow the correct position of the body. Otherwise, the exercises will be less effective.



*Coordination of movements*. It is important to concentrate on the feelings that arise during the exercise. This will help to protect the body from possible injuries and achieve a more significant effect.



*Gradation*. Exercise should be increased progressively as you exercise.



*Regularity*. In order to achieve a tangible result, one must exercise regularly, at least 5 times a week.



## Benefit for the body

Pilates classes really help restore any person’s health (after all, the program was designed specifically for this).


<a href="https://gobeauty.space/en/kyiv/all/">

So, the longer and more persistent you engage, the more benefit you can get. After 2-3 weeks of regular training there will be a positive effect:

- the flexibility and mobility of the joints will increase;
- posture will improve, slouching will decrease;
- the pain in the back and neck will disappear;
- the muscular corset of the whole body will strengthen;
- normal functioning of the cardiovascular system;
- efficiency will increase;
- increase the body’s resistance to infections;
- the body will become more plastic;
- everyday movements will become smooth, graceful.

Pilates will help change the body, restore harmony and balance. It will move as nature has laid it.



## Can I lose weight with the help of pilates?

Getting rid of excess weight with the help of pilates is not fast. Those who want to lose weight in the shortest time should engage in more active types of fitness. Pilates affects the body more gently and gradually.



With regular classes, the body becomes denser and more supple, with volumes. The lines of the body become clear, the external looseness and vagueness of the figure gradually turn into beautiful shapes.



If to say specifically about weight loss, then yes, you can lose weight. But you must adhere to two conditions: limit yourself in eating and in no hurry. However, it is also impossible to starve, as training is carried out with sufficient stress.

In the cool autumn evenings, our body needs even more beneficial foods that contain vitamins. It is in them the secret of our beauty and vivacity. GoBeauty Blog has learned what foods to use in the fall to be healthy and in good humour in the winter.

## Vitamin A

Vitamins of group A protect the body from infections and viruses, are responsible for the functioning of the immune and respiratory systems, normalize the work of the human visual system. For men who work with complex mechanisms, doctors often recommend the use of vitamins belonging to group A. They prevent the ageing of the body and are responsible for its durability. Vitamins of this group are contained in egg yolks, liver, fish oil, butter.

## Vitamin B

Lack of B vitamins in the body can lead to impaired digestive and central nervous systems. These vitamins maintain the necessary level of leukocytes in the blood and are responsible for its structural composition. The healthy appearance of the skin and hair also depends on the presence of vitamin B in the body. Fresh vegetables, herbs, cereals in the human diet in the fall should be a must.

## Vitamin C

In the fall it is extremely necessary to refill it. Lack of vitamin C in the body causes the inability to fight viral respiratory diseases. Vitamins belonging to this group help to excrete copper and mercury, in particular, their toxins. Vitamin C can be replenished by eating fresh cabbage, cranberries, citrus fruits and bell peppers. Vitamin C is not accumulated or synthesized in the body. That is why it is necessary to fill it regularly.

## Vitamin D

Even during the summer season, in bright sunshine and long daylight, it is difficult for us to get the right dosage of Vitamin D. The situation is complicated with age when our skin’s resources are exhausted. In the autumn, vitamin D ceases to be produced almost completely. As a result, there is a tendency to depression and boredom, rapid fatigue and poor immunity, hormonal disorders and hair loss. Recover your vitamin D deficiency and take it in the right dosage, following your doctor’s recommendation. Better yet, buy a plane ticket to a sunny country.

## Vitamin E

It is considered to be the strongest natural antioxidant. It supports immunity, participates in the synthesis of hormones, protects cells from damage, slowing the formation of free radicals.

Feet for human – one of the foundations of life. On the feet we make the greatest load, with all the weight lies mainly on the feet. In addition, the feet often suffer from uncomfortable footwear and excess weight (if any). But do not panic – according to statistics, only 30% of the population have healthy feet, and the rest of people have deformities. Foot diseases can not only ruin the walking habit but also cause systemic problems in the body. In general, they should be treated as soon as possible. And yes, they will not pass.

## The calcaneal spur 

It is the thickening of the calcaneus (increased mass) in its lower part. Usually, such outgrowths are painless, but in some cases, they can cause pain, especially while walking, jumping or running. Spurs are formed in the event of an overload of ligaments, muscles and fibres of the foot, for example, if many run or jump. The disease is characterized by pain in the morning when a person loads a leg after sleeping. Pain also appears when walking after a long sitting.



For the treatment of spurs, traumatologists orthopedists usually prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and prescribe a course of physiotherapy. Heel pain can be reduced by injecting steroids. During the treatment, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and use special orthopaedic inserts that relieve the load from the connective tissue of the heel. If the effect of treatment has not been within 9-12 months, surgery is recommended.

## Osteoarthritis of the joint of the foot

It is a degenerative disease that is associated with the general ageing of the body and is commonly seen in people after 50 years. Osteoarthritis can be caused by a previously fractured foot joint or other injuries. When the cartilage is worn, their ability to effectively protect the bones of the joints from directly colliding with each other decreases. The result is pain and inflammation. Signs that may indicate osteoarthritis – oedema, stiffness, pain. Gradually, these symptoms are joined by deformation of the joint of the foot, decreased the mobility of the joint and difficulties in walking. The intensity of the symptoms can vary, sometimes there is a feeling of persistent remission, and over time – clearly expressed disorders. 



Osteoarthritis is surgically treated. The range of options includes arthroscopic surgery (to remove parts of the cartilage of the joints, inflammation of tissues and spurs (osteophytes)), as well as endoprosthesis of the joint of the foot.

## Bursitis

It is a bone deformity, also called a “Hollywood visit card”. It was the stars of the “dream factory” in the early 1930s who introduced shoes with very narrow noses fashion. In combination with a high heel (more than 5 cm), this pad provokes a specific curvature of the toes. The first phalanges seem to be turned away from the other fingers, and the second is deflected exactly in the opposite direction. The joint between them moves and forms a “bump” at the base of the toe. The articular bag becomes inflamed and begins to swell. Stagnation of the fluid disrupts blood circulation and squeezes the nerve endings.



If not treated, the deformation will grasp the second and third fingers, and as a result, will develop into the so-called “hammer-toe”. The toes will bend and lock in such a position (“tighten”). The cause of this happens – myasthenia gravis, or, in other words, muscle weakening. 



You can get rid of light discomfort by wearing shoes with wide noses or made of elastic material. If this is not enough, special pads should be used to reduce the pain. Orthopaedic insoles also help to redistribute and reduce pressure on the affected joint. 

## Fasciitis

If you continue to wear “harmful” shoes, you can earn fasciitis – an inflammation of the solid fibrous tissue (fascia) located along the lower surface of the foot. It connects the bone of the heel with the mould and as if supporting the entire longitudinal part. In addition to the pain and discomfort of walking, fasciitis threatens the formation of bone growth – heel spurs. Later they may be joined by lower back pain, and then by spinal deformities.

Do not forget that it is important to pay attention to any symptoms – pain, stiffness, swelling, the appearance of rashes or crunching heard during the movements. The vast majority of joint diseases are successfully treated in the initial stages. But the neglected state of the disease can disrupt life and professional plans, requiring expensive surgery and complex rehabilitation measures.

Symptoms of breast disease are very common and cause 15 million doctor visits annually. Fortunately, 90% of the symptoms have benign causes, but they also pose a risk to a woman’s health as they are capable of leading to cancer. Read our new article about breast pathology and fear symptoms.

## Breasts are an indicator of the hormonal situation

The condition of women’s breasts depends on the balance of 16-30 hormones. If these hormones are balanced, then there are no problems with the breast. If the balance is disturbed, there are changes. Initially, they are pitiful, for example, pain before menstruation (premenstrual syndrome). This syndrome usually goes away after the onset of menstruation. If the pathological process goes on, then there are various changes. Such as the formation of cysts, enlargement of the ducts. And so to tumours – both benign (fibroadenomas) and cancer.



![alphabets-background-balloons-1415553-1024x682.webp](https://gobeauty-prod.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/strapi/alphabets_background_balloons_1415553_1024x682_4233337314.webp)



## Factors that cause breast disease

There are many causes for the development of pathologies, and at the same time, there is no one that could 100% of cases lead to the development of malignant neoplasms. The combination of many factors leads to the emergence of a tumour. Among them are the following:

### Age

Particularly attentive to themselves should be women over the age of forty, as breast cancer is more commonly found between the ages of 40 and 60 (about 50% of all cases).

### Heredity

In the presence of breast cancer in close relatives (especially at a young age), the woman should monitor herself especially carefully, since the risk of detecting a tumour in her 2.5 – 5 times higher.

### Physical breast injuries

### Mental injury (stress)

### Nutrition

Excessive consumption of animal fats, high-calorie foods, lack of vitamins (especially A, E, C), obesity also increases the risk of developing cancer.

### Fault in the childbearing function of the woman

These include early, up to 12 years, the onset of menstruation and late menopause (after 53 – 55 years), late first births (26 years and older) and general births after 40 years, low number of births, short breastfeeding, frequent abortions. Also, inflammation uterine appendages, frigidity, primary infertility, irregularity and late-onset of sexual life, postponed lubrication.

### Disorders of the liver, thyroid gland, ovaries

### Poor water and air quality

### Increased ionizing radiation

### Bright light

There has been little research on this factor. However, it has been shown that women who work with bright light have an increased risk of breast cancer (increases in the production of melatonin hormones, followed by estrogens and prolactin).

### Vitamin D deficiency

In a comparative study of women from the north and south, it was found that vitamin D may reduce the risk of breast cancer. However, research is ongoing.

### Hypodynamia

It has been noted that a lack of physical activity increases the risk of breast cancer.

The combination of several negative factors increases the risk of the disease.

## Hormone-dependent diseases

Breast pathologies caused by hormone imbalances are called mastopathies or dyshormonal hyperplasia. In total there are 16-18 of them. Of these, 4 are surgically treated: fibroadenoma, a nodal form of the fibrocystic disease, cyst with internal growths and “bleeding” nipple (intra-ductal papillomatosis). The need for operations is explained by two reasons. First, there are no drugs that absorb such benign formations. Second, more importantly, a small percentage of these neoplasms develop into cancer over time.



If mastopathy is not treated, the risk of breast cancer increases by 2-3 times. In the case of overt hormonal disorders, the mammalian often recommends treatment with a gynaecologist-endocrinologist.

## Malignant tumours

Breast cancer is an epithelial breast tumour that originates from lobules or ducts. Breast tumour is the most common cancer in women. 



There are hereditary and sporadic types of breast cancer. What does it mean? If the patient has close relatives with breast or ovarian cancer, she is advised to be tested for the so-called BRCA-1, BRCA-2 gene. Women with positive test results are at risk and should have a more frequent and thorough examination of the mammary glands and ovaries. 



Regular visits to a gynaecologist and mammologist, mammary ultrasound will help prevent misery. Modern equipment allows to detect pathological changes in the early stages, and qualified doctors to choose the most effective treatment tactics.

A robust immune system is essential for maintaining optimal health and defending our bodies against infections and diseases. While proper nutrition, exercise, and sleep play vital roles in supporting our immune health, massage therapy has also been shown to contribute significantly to a stronger immune system. In this article, we will delve into the science behind the connection between massage and immune function and provide practical tips for incorporating massage into your wellness routine for immune support.

### The Science Behind Massage and Immune Function

Massage therapy works by manipulating the body's soft tissues, stimulating various physiological responses that can benefit our immune system.

1. *Increased lymphatic circulation*: The lymphatic system is an essential component of the immune system, responsible for transporting immune cells and removing toxins and waste products from the body. Massage can help to improve lymphatic circulation, thereby supporting the immune system in its function.
2. *Enhanced natural killer cell activity*: Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the body's defense against viral infections and cancer cells. Studies have shown that massage can increase NK cell activity, contributing to a more effective immune response.
3. *Reduced cortisol levels*: As mentioned earlier, cortisol is a stress hormone that can suppress the immune system when present in high levels. Massage has been proven to lower cortisol levels, which in turn can help to strengthen the immune system.
4. *Improved sleep quality*: Sleep is essential for immune function, as it is during this time that the body repairs and regenerates itself. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, massage can contribute to better sleep quality, which in turn supports a healthier immune system.

### Incorporating Massage into Your Immune-Boosting Routine

To maximize the immune-boosting benefits of massage therapy, consider the following tips:

1. *Find a qualified massage therapist*: Locate a professional massage therapist who has the necessary training and experience to address your specific needs. Ensure that they are licensed and have a good understanding of the immune system.
2. *Choose the right massage technique*: Different massage techniques can have varying effects on the immune system. Discuss your goals with your massage therapist to determine the most appropriate approach. Lymphatic drainage massage, for example, is specifically designed to support the lymphatic system and may be especially beneficial for immune health.
3. *Schedule regular massage sessions*: Aim to schedule massage sessions regularly, as consistency is key to achieving long-term immune support. You might consider weekly or monthly sessions, depending on your individual needs and preferences.
4. *Combine massage with a healthy lifestyle*: Massage therapy is just one component of a comprehensive immune-boosting routine. Ensure that you maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get adequate sleep to further support your immune system.
5. *Manage stress levels*: Since stress can negatively impact immune function, it's essential to find effective ways to manage it. In addition to massage therapy, consider incorporating mindfulness practices, such as meditation or yoga, to help reduce stress.

When it comes to achieving healthy, youthful-looking skin, apples might just be your new best friend. Not only are they a tasty and nutritious snack, but they also contain several skin-friendly vitamins and minerals that can help keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Let's take a closer look at how apples can benefit your skin:


Rich in antioxidants

Apples are packed with antioxidants, including vitamin C and quercetin, that help protect your skin from damaging free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage your skin cells and contribute to premature aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. By including apples in your diet, you can help neutralize these harmful molecules and keep your skin looking youthful and radiant.


Hydrating

Apples are also an excellent source of water, which is essential for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. Proper hydration helps to plump up your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Eating apples, as well as drinking plenty of water throughout the day, can help ensure your skin stays hydrated and healthy-looking.


Promotes collagen production

Collagen is a protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to sagging and wrinkles. However, apples are rich in vitamin C, which is essential for the production of collagen. By eating apples regularly, you can help promote collagen production in your skin and keep it looking firm and youthful.


Helps reduce inflammation

Inflammation is a natural response by your body's immune system to injury or infection. However, chronic inflammation can contribute to a range of skin problems, including acne, eczema, and premature aging. Apples contain anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation in your skin and prevent damage from occurring.


So, how can you incorporate more apples into your diet and skincare routine? Here are a few ideas:

- Snack on fresh apples throughout the day as a healthy alternative to sugary snacks.
- Use apple cider vinegar as a toner to help balance your skin's pH and reduce inflammation.
- Mix mashed apples with honey or yogurt for a hydrating and exfoliating face mask.
- Look for skincare products that contain apple extract or apple stem cells, which can help promote collagen production and protect your skin from environmental stressors.
