Immersion in virtual reality relieves pain After encouraging first results on burn victims, virtual and augmented realities are currently being tested on other pains. The more we think we are hurting, the more we suffer. This is precisely the interest of augmented reality, and perhaps even more, of virtual reality. Both techniques are significantly different. The first superimposes virtual elements to the real world, hence an augmented reality. Both have already proven effective. A few years ago, American scientists reduced the pain experienced by burn victims with virtual reality by 35 to 50%.

Meat wings vs. vegetarians - on which side was Suprun



The vegetarian diet is healthy, balanced and useful for the prevention of many diseases.
This was written by Facebook Acting Acting Minister of Health Ulyana Suprun.

"Vegetarianism has become a way of life for many people. Its basis - an exception to the diet of animal meat. There are even more severe types of vegetarian diets, such as veganism, whose supporters refuse a large number of animal products in the diet and in everyday life. Many are wondering if such a diet is complete, balanced and in general more beneficial for health. After all, discussions between meat ciders and vegetarians are ongoing. In addition, there are many myths around vegetarianism. For example, vegetarians receive less nutrients from food, they do not want to do sports, or even that vegetarianism is a disease. About 7 years ago, false information began to spread across the Internet, ostensibly WHO recognized vegetarianism as a disease, namely, a mental disorder. Over time, this false information began to spread across the media. Even after the official refutation of the WHO, for many people, this news has missed the perception of such a lifestyle, "Suprun wrote.

She emphasized that a well-planned vegetarian diet is healthy, balanced and useful for the prevention of many diseases. "The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics confirms that this diet is suitable for people at all stages of the life cycle, including women during pregnancy and lactation, infants, children, adolescents, elderly people, as well as athletes. Today, vegetable food is recognized not only as a good food, but also as a way of preventing and reducing the risk of many diseases. Studies have shown that vegetarians are at lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, overweight and obesity, and some cancers, "the official said.
She emphasized that a healthy herbal diet contributes to reducing the risk of many diseases.

"If you do not eat meat, however, you compensate for this low-fat food - expect some useful health benefits in vain. If you want to start such a diet - come up with this wisely and carefully. Start slowly and gradually to remove meat or other animal products from your diet. In addition, it is necessary to understand in advance how you plan your updated diet in order to get enough nutrients. If you do not really like fruits or vegetables, this can be a problem. Be sure to consult your doctor. He will help choose the best strategy for moving to a new lifestyle, "
