If you decide to fly to the ocean on vacation, there is nothing better than to plan surfing on this trip. But you need to realize that this requires preliminary preparation, unless you are interested in a one-time lesson, where an instructor pushes your board on the shore and you manage to ride on one knee.
Although this is also a joy like a child. You will have to work hard so that the vacation does not pass by watching others surf, and at the same time there is energy left for the vacation itself :-)
It is better to start preparation in advance, at home.
This is necessary for:
Physical preparation of the body: the body must be strong, flexible and resilient. The arms, shoulders, back and abs must be strong in order to paddle a lot and effectively and quickly stand on the board. And flexibility, among other things, helps to more easily endure falls and sharp twists of the wave in different directions.
Increasing lung capacity. This is necessary to row without getting tired, and also to be prepared to hold your breath under the wave. Try to choose mat for better practice.
Ability to maintain balance on the board.
Concentration skills. Concentration helps you focus on the lineup (the place where the "green" waves rise) and be more focused while riding.
Proper breathing, which will help keep the mind under control and save energy.
Ability to relax and rest between skating sessions.
All this is helped by yoga methods that will make the first steps in surfing easier.
Yoga asanas can be performed as:
strengthening the entire body (there is a load on the arms, upper back and lower back, knees, ankles, respiratory system).
warm-ups immediately before skating
recovery after skiing.
You've probably seen girls with critical weight on various talk shows, whose appearance is usually described as "skin and bones." We have developed the idea that anorexia looks exactly like this. This disease seems simple to us: a person is too thin, and therefore has anorexia.
A real discovery for many is the fact that even a fat woman, and in rare cases a man, can suffer from anorexia. We perceive this disease as a consequence, when it should be considered as a cause. The cause of protruding bones, destruction of the body and rejection of food.
Causes and symptoms
"I enjoy self-restraint, hunger is my drug" - this is how anorexia sufferers describe their initial state. They subscribe to public pages on social networks that romanticize this disease. Self-flagellation, control, punishment for breakdowns - this becomes the norm for them. Already at the stage when a person begins to "get involved" in this lifestyle, we can talk about anorexia as an eating disorder.
The disease begins with the adoption of a special standard of beauty, not healthy and functional, but sick, hiding under the definitions of "fragility", "weightlessness". Or, on the contrary, the perception of one's body as ugly, incredibly fat.
After this, a person quite naturally begins to strive for the ideal, exhausting himself with diets and food restrictions. Experiencing a false sense of pride and satisfaction for limiting himself in food.
As soon as the feeling of hunger becomes akin to euphoria, a state that you don’t want to interrupt, anorexia has come into its own. Most likely, at this stage the disease will not yet be noticeable externally.
As a rule, severe symptoms such as hair loss, sometimes teeth loss, serious hormonal imbalances, and colossal exhaustion make you think twice. At this time, the disease has already passed the stage when it can be cured without the help of doctors. As a rule, such a condition is already life-threatening.
Causes and symptoms
"Got an A - get a candy! Got a D today? No treats!" - this is how those who suffer from compulsive overeating in adulthood describe some episodes from their childhood. From youth, they are taught that food is a holiday, a reward that must be earned. Later, they earn money and understand that they can afford a holiday every day.
This is the main reason that leads to eating disorders. Food becomes something more than a means of maintaining the body's vital functions.
The symptoms are similar to bulimia – uncontrollable bouts of food consumption, lack of a clear sense of satiety. If you feel a special need for food (especially high-calorie) under stress, and also strive to fix a good mood with something tasty, then you should be wary.
