According to physiotherapist and health expert Carlos Olivos, weakness in the leg muscles can negatively affect the cognitive functions of the human brain. His research has revealed a deep connection between human physical activity and mental capacity. The connection between the brain and leg muscles Leg muscles are considered the main "engine" of physical activity. They play a significant role not only in movement but also in facilitating blood circulation and nervous system function. Olivos emphasizes that the more active the leg muscles are, the more blood and oxygen reach the brain. This ensures the effective functioning of neurons. Research findings Research conducted over several years has shown a correlation between weak leg muscles and a decline in cognitive functions. For example: 1. Decreased blood circulation. Leg muscles assist in blood circulation, but their weakening results in a reduced volume of blood reaching the brain. This diminishes memory, attention, and thinking abilities. 2. Weakened neural connections. When leg muscles support physical activity, signals are continuously exchanged with the brain. Sedentary behavior weakens this connection and lowers neuronal activity. Strong muscles are important for the brain Physical activity, especially exercising the leg muscles, not only improves overall health but also boosts mental activity. Olivos's recommendations: 1. Daily walking. Walking briskly for at least 30 minutes each day increases oxygen flow to the brain. 2. Leg exercises. Exercises like squats, running, and Zumba strengthen the leg muscles. 3. Active lifestyle. Sedentary behavior can diminish brain function. Therefore, it is important to move more in the office or avoid sitting for long periods. Physiotherapist Carlos Olivos's research has revealed a deep connection between leg muscles and brain cognitive functions. Weak leg muscles can negatively impact not only physical health but also mental capacity. Therefore, increasing physical activity is crucial not only for a good lifestyle but also for keeping the brain healthy

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a vital substance that participates in many important functions of the body. It plays a significant role in the formation of blood cells, DNA synthesis, maintaining nervous system health, and energy production. B12 vitamin is often not given enough attention, which can lead to serious and irreversible consequences over time. Why is B12 vitamin necessary? This water-soluble vitamin is primarily found in animal products (meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products). In the body, it is absorbed in the small intestine, a process facilitated by an intrinsic factor produced in the stomach. Main functions of B12 vitamin: It forms blood cells and protects against anemia. It supports the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, ensuring proper signal transmission. It participates in DNA synthesis and energy metabolism processes. Risks of B12 deficiency: If vitamin deficiency is not treated, it can lead to the following serious consequences: Nerve damage: pain, loss of balance, weakness, and in severe cases, paralysis. Dementia and brain atrophy: increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Anemia: large and insufficient blood cells (megaloblasts). Increased homocysteine levels: risk of cardiovascular diseases. Mental disorders: depression, anxiety, and psychosis. What to do? If you notice symptoms, consult a doctor. Proper nutrition, taking vitamin supplements, or B12 injections can help eliminate the deficiency.

Psychosomatics is a field that studies the organic connection between a person's mental state and physical health. Today's scientific research shows that many diseases can arise not only from external factors but also from internal psychological problems and stress. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of diseases caused by stress and their prevention. How does stress lead to diseases? Stress is the physiological and psychological reaction of the organism to external or internal factors. Short-term stress can be beneficial to some extent as it activates the body's defense mechanisms. However, long-term and constant stress creates a foundation for the emergence of various diseases. Main causes: Excessive production of adrenaline and cortisol hormones. This can lead to increased blood pressure, weakening of blood vessels, and heart diseases. Weakening of the immune system. Stress negatively affects immunity, making the body susceptible to infections and chronic diseases. Psychological pressure causes muscles to tense frequently, leading to pain and musculoskeletal problems. Main diseases caused by stress 1. Cardiovascular diseases Stress can lead to hypertension (high blood pressure), heart rhythm disturbances, and even heart attacks. Intense nervousness and anxiety can cause the heart muscle to tire quickly. 2. Gastroenterological diseases The digestive system is very sensitive to stress. For example: Stomach ulcers and gastritis. Stress increases acidity levels, which damages the stomach walls. Diarrhea or constipation. Nervous conditions disrupt the functioning of the intestines. 3. Skin problems Hormonal changes resulting from stress can trigger diseases such as acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. 4. Neurological diseases Headaches. Prolonged stress can lead to migraines and headaches. Insomnia. Due to decreased production of calming hormones, the body cannot adjust to normal sleep. 5. Respiratory diseases Stress weakens the immune system, making a person's respiratory tract susceptible to infections. Bronchial asthma can also be related to stress. 6. Musculoskeletal diseases Nervous tension causes pain in muscles and joints. Prolonged stress contributes to the development of arthritis and osteochondrosis. Recommendations for preventing stress 1. Exercise and physical activity Physical exercise reduces stress hormones and increases serotonin levels, which ensures good mood and mental stability. 2. Proper nutrition A diet rich in vitamins and minerals strengthens immunity and helps combat stress. 3. Adhering to a sleep schedule Insufficient sleep leads to increased stress. Daily sleep of 7–8 hours is essential for mental health. 4. Meditation and breathing exercises These methods help to overcome stress and restore inner peace. 5. Communication and emotional support Talking with family members or friends reduces stress levels. Conclusion Understanding the connection between stress and physical illnesses through psychosomatics is crucial for improving the quality of human life. Proper preventive measures and stress management techniques reduce the risk of diseases and help maintain health. Therefore, taking measures against stress is important not only for mental but also for physical health

Have you ever responded to your cat with a "meow"? Perhaps it was just a joke or a desire to communicate with it. But how does the cat perceive this? Let's answer this question from the perspective of animal behavior science. The language of cats: more than just a simple "meow" Cats communicate through various sounds, but "meowing" is typically directed at humans. According to scientists, cats have learned to use this sound to express their needs and attract attention. The pitch, duration, and tone of the sound vary depending on the context: low sounds may indicate anxiety, while high sounds signify a demand for food or attention. The human "meow" often sounds overly harsh or unreliable to cats. In the cat's view, it resembles a "language accent" and makes you seem like a stranger. What does the cat think? Cats do not perceive human "meowing" as genuine communication. Often, it is just a strange sound to them. However, cats may respond to such sounds in various ways: Curiosity: The cat may raise its head, twitch its ears, or approach to investigate the source of the sound. Surprise: If the sound seems unreliable, the cat may consider it pointless and ignore it. Trying to understand: Sometimes, a cat may interpret a human's "meow" as a demand for attention and respond or approach. Do cats understand human imitation? Cats closely observe their owners' actions and may understand that you are trying to communicate with them. However, they do not comprehend that you are imitating their sounds. To them, it simply seems like an unusual behavior. The interesting thing is that cats can "teach" their owners how to communicate. For example, if a cat realizes that a certain type of "meow" can lead to food or affection, it will learn to use that sound more frequently. Why do humans "meow"? Humans tend to imitate animal behaviors to establish an emotional connection. By accepting the cat's "meow" as a communication signal, a desire to respond arises. Psychologists emphasize that such mutual imitation strengthens the bond between owners and cats. Conclusion: Are you a friend to your cat or a strange human? Cats often do not pay much attention to human "meowing" or perceive it as a funny behavior. However, this communication helps strengthen your relationship with your cat. For cats, your love and attention are the most important aspects. So, you can continue to "meow" to make your cat happy!

The head coach of “Lans” club, Will Still, shared warm thoughts about the Uzbek central defender Abduqodir Husanov. Husanov's interest from “Manchester City” is not without reason: the “citizens” offered 40 million euros plus additional bonuses for the defender. “Abduqodir is a central defender with strong physical preparation. He can move at high speed. A video of him catching up with Reims player Junya Ito at a speed of 37 km/h caught everyone's attention. He is not very talkative, but he is a very strong player. When I arrived at “Lans,” Danso was on the verge of leaving. At that time, the sports coordinator Jan-Lui Leka told me: ‘Don't worry, Abduqodir is here.’ He was right. We later realized that Husanov has immense potential,” said Still. Abduqodir Husanov's aggressive playing style in defense has led to comparisons with Manchester City defender Ruben Dias. This style is particularly important for Pep Guardiola. The new transfer is expected to make an impact in the City squad as well.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted research on the impact of negative text, photos, and videos on human mental health. The results showed that such content worsens the condition of individuals with mental health issues. To analyze what types of information internet users focus on, over a thousand individuals were studied. Their usage of various web pages and the emotions evoked during this process—such as anger, fear, sadness, or joy—were assessed through specialized algorithms. Participants in the study initially spent 20 minutes a day on the internet for 5 days, and then increased this to 30 minutes. During this time, the scientists evaluated the texts on the web pages used. Additionally, participants recorded the emotions they felt online in questionnaires. It was found that users in a good mood tended to choose positive and non-harmful content, while those in a bad mood showed more interest in negative materials that evoked feelings of fear. Based on these findings, researchers developed a special plugin called "Digital Diet." This program allows filtering search results on the internet based on three criteria: emotions (positive or negative), knowledge (level of understanding of the information), and usefulness. This tool helps users limit negative content and direct them towards positive information. "People with mental health issues often seek negative information, which exacerbates their condition. We hope that Digital Diet will help them refrain from negative content," say the researchers.
