Physical Punishment in Childhood Leads to Health Problems as Adults

The use of physical punishment in childhood increases the risk of various chronic diseases in adult life. This is proved by the data from the study conducted by Canadian scientists.




The scientists from the University of Manitoba, led by Tracie Afifi, examined the information on 34 thousand people. They took into account the state of human health and the kind of punishment that had been applied to the people in their childhood. It was found that the people who had been beaten by parents for their childhood faults, had an increased risk of at least one chronic disease. Thus, the risk of arthritis was increased by 25%, and of cardiovascular diseases – by 28%. People with obesity and depression were also more common among them.

The authors explain this relationship as follows: corporal punishment affects the child’s sleep, the work of the immune system, and regulating of the stress hormones secretion. In turn, stress (single or chronic) increases the risk of disease.

Watermelon Alleviates Muscle Pain

Watermelon juice is becoming more popular with people who are into sport, its high reputation being due to its salubrious influence on muscle health.

A series of studies revealed antioxidant properties of watermelon juice and its possibilities for enlarging protein in muscles which results in better sport achievements. Natural watermelon juice also alleviates pains in muscles.

These benefits are due to citrulline, an amino acid that improves blood circulation in muscles, increases their efficiency and makes for their quicker restoration after trainings.

How To Get First Job - Experts Suggestion

How To Get First Job - Experts Suggestion

What are you worried about heading into your first job or internship? Following these suggestions will make for a more worthwhile experience for you, while balancing some of the stress and struggles of a brand-new work environment.




Recent statistics indicate that one in two new college graduates are unemployed or underemployed. And while many of you will have had part-time jobs, this new position can be an incredible learning experience and a stepping stone for your long-term career. So as you prepare for your new role and the challenges you'll face in that position.

1. Don't fake it until you make it. Many new workers try to appear more knowledgeable than they really are. They don’t ask questions. They think they need to have answers to be valuable to their organizations, and they can’t admit to a lack of experience or understanding. They compensate for their lack of confidence with overconfidence. But here’s the secret: They’re not fooling anyone! No one expects you to know everything in your first job, and you learn and grow faster when you seek real understanding, ask questions, and petition for help. Rather than faking it, make it by acknowledging the skills and experience of your colleagues at work and using your first job or internship as a learning experience.

2. Never eat lunch alone. One of the best things about a new job is the incredible learning experience it provides. Every single person you’ll work with in your new position — from the receptionist to the CEO — can teach you something valuable, and each of them can be a friend and mentor in your career. Many of the happiest and most successful people I know constantly ask questions and seek guidance from everyone around them, and research even shows that people with stronger social networks live longer. Your office is full of intelligent, thoughtful, and experienced people. Get to know them. Treat them with respect. Ask them questions. Learn from them. And have fun in the process.

3. Set boundaries to prevent burnout. Most jobs are never fully done. In school, your tests, homework assignments, and group projects have defined due dates. Parents and teachers will help you balance your life, and you have frequent, built-in breaks to help you recharge. But a job is different. It will be hard to do perfectly (or even well!). You’ll be anxious to over-perform, and many bosses are all too happy to have their new employees work long hours if they want to. There’s something to be said for putting in extra effort. But you also need to learn, early on, to set personal boundaries that allow you to maintain balance and avoid burnout. Burnout can make you less productive at work, and certainly makes you less happy. And in the absence of a caring community looking out for your well-being, you’ll need to take ownership of your boundaries. Map out your lifestyle goals ahead of time. Build short breaks from work into your schedule, and learn early to seek balance in your work and life.

4. Serve your colleagues and customers. A common view of Millennials is that they are entitled and narcissistic. And a common mistake young people make is to competitively climb their career ladders rather than humbly seeking to serve their colleagues and customers. But if you want to earn the respect of those around you and defy your generation’s stereotypes, the best thing you can do is bring an attitude of service to your job. Proactively seek out ways to help your colleagues. Think ahead for new ways to please customers. Jim Collins has written about how the greatest leaders often combine humility and fierce resolve. And humbly serving — staying focused on others — can be a great way to develop leadership and amass the support of your coworkers.

5. Work hard and show up on time. It’s been well-documented by Malcolm Gladwell and others that hard work can be at least as important as talent to professional success. The 10,000 hour rule, for example, maintains that to truly master a skill, a person must put in 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. And nothing signals seriousness to your employer like promptness, perseverance, and dedication. Over the long run, diligence will earn you the respect of your colleagues, and hard work will give you the mastery and self-discipline to succeed in the future. The basics are simple, but easy to forget: Work hard and show up on time.

Honesty Is the Secret of a Happy Marriage

American scientists at the University of Illinois conducted a meta-study, in which it was found that the key to a long and lasting relationship is honesty. In an open relationship, couples can overcome any difficulties at all stages.





The study involved about twelve thousand couples of different age. All of them managed to maintain a happy and strong relationship because of the sincerity and mutual trust.

The scientists asked the participants to write reports about their relationship with the partner. All men and women, who participated in the study, said that for many years already they have been kept together by the sincerity and willingness to overcome all the difficulties.

In addition, the couple noted sharing common goals, common friends, and a sensible distribution of responsibilities.

A mutual desire to support each other, seek common interests, and establish good relations with each other’s relatives also helps couples to maintain and strengthen the relationship.

Pineapple Health Benefits & Interesting Facts

Pineapple is called the king of tropical fruits. Fresh slices of this fruit are an easy and non-nutritive snack for those who are losing weight. A mask or scrub with organic acids of the pineapple is a great means to renew skin.




    If you apply pineapple paste on the dark spots and freckles, they will become less noticeable.

    A juicy slice of pineapple will relieve the itching and redness after insect bites. It would be enough to apply a small slice for 5 minutes.

    Fruit acids contained in pineapples often are a part of the tonic masks for oily skin and means for peeling face and body.

    A mixture of pineapple and fresh mint cools, refreshes and softens the rough skin of the heels. Leave the mask for 10 minutes, remove it with water and use a pumice stone.

    Natural pineapple oil soothes and nourishes the skin after hair removal. When combined with essential oils, it is also suitable for a relaxing massage.

    Having anti-inflammatory properties, pineapple helps in treating acne. Cosmetic products with an extract of the fruit fight infections and have a healing effect.

    Pineapple juice makes the skin more elastic, stimulating the production of collagen. Apply a small amount of freshly squeezed liquid on the face and leave it for 2-3 minutes, then rinse it with warm water. Be careful with pineapple juice if you tend to have allergies.

    Bromelain that is contained in the pineapple (a complex of unique enzymes) accelerates protein metabolism. This in turn leads to a reduction of excess weight at the expense of processed proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

    Due to its low calorie content (49 kcal/100g), pineapple is great for people who keep to a strict diet.

    A glass of freshly squeezed pineapple juice contains a daily dose of magnesium required to protect cells from the damaging effect of free radicals.

    Sliced ​​pineapple is a healthy snack. The tropical fruit contains fiber, which improves intestinal peristalsis.

    Pineapple juice contains enzymes that make the blood thinner and prevent blood clots.

    Pineapple extract helps with bronchial asthma. It reduces the number of eosinophils, or the cells that aggravate the disease, providing a pro-allergic action.

    Slices of fresh pineapple help cope with thirst and dehydration. This exotic fruit contains 85% of water.

But as with all other things, pineapples also have some “negative” sides:

    Candied pineapple is very high in calories (340-350 kcal/100g) and is not recommended to those who try to keep fit.

    The presence of beta-carotene in pineapple reduces the risk of age-related changes of the retina. This substance prevents macular degeneration in the zone, which is responsible for central vision.

    Pineapple contains a large number of organic acids, so people with sensitive teeth enamel, gastritis and gastric ulcer should use it with caution.

6 Important Ways To Get Toned Abs

Toned abs are not difficult to achieve, even for fitness novices. You don’t need any expertise, fancy equipment, an expensive gym membership, or a personal trainer. When it comes to our bodies, we think a bit of curve is best – it’s sexy, feminine and healthy. But what we’re not massive fans of are flabby stomachs, they just don’t make us feel good.

Toning your abs will take discipline and hard work, but the rewards will be a decreased risk of heart disease, hypertension and other diseases related to obesity. With time the skin on our stomach loses resilience and it makes it more difficult to have tight and toned abs. Here are the best ways to get toned abs.




The Most Amazing Tips to Get Toned Abs

    Forget fast food! It’s loaded with calories, many of them from fat. In fact, one value meal can contain all of the calories you’re supposed to eat in one day! Forget fast food. Prepare your own meals at home.

    Avoiding Overwork: One problem that a lot of people make when trying to get toned abs isn’t working too little, but rather working too much. Between workouts, your muscles need time to rebuild after the damage they receive during exercise.

    Cardio exercises like swimming, running, biking, hiking (or whatever else revs your heart rate) will help you to burn a substantial amount of calories and decrease your body fat, which will help you to tone your abs!

    Drink plenty of water while exercising to keep your body hydrated. Eat a well-balanced diet to ensure your muscles have proper nutrition.

    Did you know that making the simple switch from chemical-filled (and notoriously bland) white bread to fiber-rich, tasty whole grain bread can help you feel fuller, longer, thus giving you the extra push you need to work out, and get great abs? It’s true.

    Tighten your core when you are at home or at work and feel the muscles getting stronger. By just adding small sessions throughout the day of tightening your abs, this will help you to strengthen those muscles!

What Do Men Look at First in a Woman

Contrary to the popular belief, breasts are not the first thing men notice when meeting a woman. Scientists have discovered what men really appreciate at first sight.

The study involved more than 1,000 men. About 700 of these noted that the first thing they pay attention to is the eyes, and then – the smile.




Scientists disprove the stereotype that men primarily assess woman’s breast. Although the stereotype is not completely wrong – breasts took the third place.

The study was conducted among women, as well. As it turned out, both sexes have much in common. Women, like men, first pay attention to the eyes and smile. Nevertheless, their eyes then move not to the chest, but to the hair and height. After that, women evaluate style, weight, skin, face shape, and buttocks.

Men, having assessed the eyes, smile and breasts, begin to evaluate weight and hair. Next are legs and style. Buttocks took the eighth place, but the skin is what men pay attention in the last place.

Low Temperature Domestic Laundry Infects Your Linen

Washing linen at the temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 F) is dangerous to our health, as ascertained by experts. It turns out that such temperature does not prevent the bacteria from causing diseases: they do not die and retain their viability.




The researchers from the UK claim that even the “cleanest” panties contain an average of 0.1 g faeces after low temperature laundry, thus being a bustling center of the bacteria that cause a variety of diseases. When mixed with other laundry, the bacteria move to the new “habitat.” For example, many housewives often wash towels for the face and hands together with underwear.

British expert in the field of health Dr. Lisa Ackerley argues that this forms the so-called “soup of bacteria”. She encourages housewives to pay more attention to this fact. Dr. Ackerley calls this phenomenon “Sick Laundry Cycle.”

According to Dr. Ackerley, consumers believe that after normal washing they get absolutely clean clothes, but that does not mean that they are hygienically clean. Recently, we have seen a trend of lowering the temperature and the amount of wash water, as well as using softer detergents. This has a negative influence on the efficiency of the washing process. As a result, harmful bacteria are not destroyed. Dr. Ackerley says it is time we reevaluated our washing hygiene.

Dr. Ackerley gives some tips on how to break out of the “Sick Laundry Cycle.” It is necessary to wash clothes at 90C at least once a month; white sheets, underwear and socks should be washed separately from towels for the face and hands, especially during low temperature laundry. Do not close the door of the washing machine as soon as you pull out your laundry – let the air suppress the growth of the bacteria inside. Clean the machine itself, its door and detergent containers regularly. Wash your hands thoroughly after removing wet clothes.

Singing Prevents Snoring

Singing can help overcome snoring and sleep apnea, according to the International Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, which cited a study conducted in the UK.

It involved 127 patients suffering from sleep apnea. They were divided into 2 groups; the first was assigned 20 minutes’ singing classes under a special program each day. The second group was a control group not involved in singing.




Three months later, the singing volunteers snored less and more quietly, and slept much better. Thus, the benefits of singing for snorers have been proven.

In Britain, there are about 80,000 people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, or snoring. And this disease prevents healthy sleep and leads to chronic fatigue. Most often snoring occurs in middle-aged men.

The main reason for snoring is breath delay for 10 seconds on average 10 times per hour. If the breath delay is longer, the brain automatically wakes the snoring man to regain his breath.

5 Healhy Foods to Stop Sugar Cravings

That’s no surprise that sweet craving can lead to health problems. Excessive sugar consumption causes a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, and then its quick drop. Because of this, a person develops a strong sugar craving and as a result, there are metabolic disorders, diabetes, problems with the cardiovascular system, and obesity. You can break this dangerous vicious cycle, according to Dr. Deirdre Rawlings from Clayton College of Natural Health, USA, by means of a healthy diet.





The doctor recommends to eat 5 foods instead of sweets. They will help to eliminate sugar cravings:

1. Apples

Apples contain fructose and lots of useful fiber. Dietary fiber in apples gives a feeling of fullness, and the sweet taste helps to meet the need for sugar. They are also beneficial to your health.

2. Sweet Corn

Corn is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, which can also help fight sugar cravings. Cooked corn is sweet and satisfies hunger well.

3. Sweet Potato

This vegetable not only satisfies sugar craving but also provides the body with vitamins C, D, B6, and iron. Nutrients contained in sweet potatoes can help prevent heart disease as well as many other diseases.

4. Cinnamon

Cinnamon’s unusual properties also help fight sugar cravings. It normalizes blood glucose level and prevents insulin splashes. Ideally it should be included to a daily diet.

5. Tomatoes

They have a lot of serotonin, and studies show that a low level of this hormone is a major cause for sugar cravings. Serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter, which tells the human brain that its sugar craving was satisfied. Tomatoes are also rich in chromium – the mineral, which reduces food cravings, regulates cholesterol, fat and glucose levels in the blood.

Make sure you include these foods to your diet, and you’ll forget your sugar cravings!

Having Lunch Outside Office Reduces Job Efficiency

People who prefer having lunch at the office are more productive in the afternoon than the employees having their noon meal in the city, The Daily Mail writes.





After an hour’s break, the latter group of workers gets back into the office sleepy and with a reduced concentration. The brain activity is reduced, and there is a risk of making a mistake.

Dr. Werner Sommer from Humboldt University emphasizes that lunch in the restaurant gets you relaxed. As a result, the control of cognitive processes weakens for some time. If a person works at a factory, in the laboratory or is engaged in calculations, it is dangerous. However, with creative work, on the contrary, relaxation will help.

Lunches in the office and outside it are very different. The factors such as chatting with friends, a change of scenery, a lack of time restraints play their role. But the menu itself, apparently, does not have such a significant impact.

Corporate Income Tax

 Corporate Income Tax
Tax policy issues relating to corporate income tax are numerous and complex, but particularly relevant for developing countries are the issues of multiple rates based on sectoral differentiation and the incoherent design of the depreciation system. Developing countries are more prone to having multiple rates along sectoral lines (including the complete exemption from tax of certain sectors, especially the parastatal sector) than industrial countries, possibly as a legacy of past economic regimes that emphasized the state's role in resource allocation. Such practices, however, are clearly detrimental to the proper functioning of market forces (that is, the sectoral allocation of resources is distorted by differences in tax rates). They are indefensible if a government's commitment to a market economy is real. Unifying multiple corporate income tax rates should thus be a priority.
Allowable depreciation of physical assets for tax purposes is an important structural element in determining the cost of capital and the profitability of investment. The most common shortcomings found in the depreciation systems in developing countries include too many asset categories and depreciation rates, excessively low depreciation rates, and a structure of depreciation rates that is not in accordance with the relative obsolescence rates of different asset categories. Rectifying these shortcomings should also receive a high priority in tax policy deliberations in these countries.
In restructuring their depreciation systems, developing countries could well benefit from certain guidelines:

    Classifying assets into three or four categories should be more than sufficient—for example, grouping assets that last a long time, such as buildings, at one end, and fast-depreciating assets, such as computers, at the other with one or two categories of machinery and equipment in between.
    Only one depreciation rate should be assigned to each category.
    Depreciation rates should generally be set higher than the actual physical lives of the underlying assets to compensate for the lack of a comprehensive inflation-compensating mechanism in most tax systems.
    On administrative grounds, the declining-balance method should be preferred to the straight-line method. The declining-balance method allows the pooling of all assets in the same asset category and automatically accounts for capital gains and losses from asset disposals, thus substantially simplifying bookkeeping requirements.

13 Swimming Facts

Not all of us like to swim, but it is so useful! That is why we would like to share with you the most interesting swimming facts, which might make you start going to the pool.





    Holding on the surface of the water (not necessarily swimming!), you can burn up to 200-300 calories an hour.

    +23 … +25 C is the most comfortable bathing temperature of the water in the sea. Warmer sea water loses a lot of useful properties.

    Swimming contributes to the 20-time increase in the levels of growth hormone somatotropin in children’s blood.

    There are 2 times less hypertensive people among the swimmers if to compare with other sports.

    Crawl swimming helps make the waist thinner.

    Swimming is beneficial for the cardiovascular system. The people, who are regularly engaged in swimming, demonstrate a reduction in heart rate from 60 to 55 beats per minute. Those who do not like water sports usually have the heart rate of about 65-57 bpm.

    Australian researchers have tested 180 children from three to five years for ingenuity. The study found that the children, who were engaged in swimming during the early years of life, were far more intelligent than their peers who were afraid of water.

    Only 3 weeks after the birth, a baby can be taught to swim. After the third month of life, this innate capacity is lost.

    A group of researchers from the University of Extremadura in Spain and the Portuguese University of Evora had been observing 33 women, suffering from fibromyalgia for 8 months. The scientists found that the participants of the project, who trained in the pool 3 times a week for at least one hour, decreased pain in joints and muscles during the experiment, as opposed to those who did not go to the pool.

    The best time for swimming is from 7.00 to 9.00 and from 18.00 to 20.00. At the beginning of the day, the body is relaxed and most susceptible to such load; whereas an evening training will help you burn the maximum calories.

    The mass of the human body in water gets reduced up to 10 times. Even those who have never gone in for sports can train in the pool. Swimming is the best way out if power sports are contraindicated or if you have problems with your joints, back, overweight, and pregnancy.

    Even if you spend a minute in the water with the temperature of +20 ° C, the level of hemoglobin in the blood will increase.

    The most useful style for swimming is breaststroke. 30 minutes of active swimming burns 360 calories and involves up to 70% of all muscles.

5 Reasons Men Fear Marriage

The word “marriage” often horrifies even the strongest and most confident men. What are men afraid of, and what doesn’t let them tie the knot with the woman of their dream?





1. Men Are Afraid of Losing Their Freedom & Independence

First goes the fear of losing freedom and independence. For a man, it is important to feel self-sufficient and independent. If your beloved notices that you are encroaching on his bachelor lifestyle, think about it: either intoxicating freedom and revels with friends, or your permanent control and his long reports to you.

2. Men Don’t Want to Change Their Mode of Life

Enemy number two is everyday life. Men, like you, have their own principles, habits and ways of housekeeping. So remember, “When in Rome do as the Romans do”.

3. Most Men Hate Their Mother-in-Law

As ridiculous as it may sound, but yes – men are afraid of the future mother-in-laws. Of course, if you do not have to share an apartment with your mother after marriage, there should be no problem. But even in this case do not go too far. Comments like “mother said” will only irritate your beloved. This may also include the advice of your numerous girl friends who always “know better”.

4. Men Fear Responsibilities

Being responsible only for himself and his life, a man can do as he pleases, spend as much money as he chooses, and drive with the speed he thinks is necessary. But feeling a “trailer” –his wife and child – behind, he will not be able to breathe.

5. Men Are Unsure about the Partner

If every woman doubts her choice this or that way, needless to say that men are the same: “Is this the right person?”, “Do I want to live my whole life with her?” and the like. Men are even more sceptical. Having made a mistake, a man will suffer for the rest of his life, so if you see doubt in his eyes, do not push – give him time.
