The good experiences are too many participants and patients are reason enough to buy a mat for a course or a training program with Dr. Marincic, so they can use it at home. A good investment, according to the doctor: "there are few medical products which are so simple to use and works so effectively".

Experiments show that movement on goFit-mat improves the quality of life in the elderly
People are getting older and older. But over the course of millennia, we have developed ourselves, so that our body no longer automatically continues to be movable, in shape and live after the 60 years of age and older. This gap between the biological evolution and the life expectancy, is at a point where we should actively try to fill it. An important key is regular exercise-a fact, as doctors and physiotherapists repeatedly stresses.

Results show that blood pressure is lowered, the balance problem's disappears, and the older are sleeping more harmonious and better. Overall, is may slow down the aging process and increase the physical capability. Even the beginnings of osteoporosis can be prevented. From Dr. John Fisher, Oregon, says: "with all trial participants were health improved dramatically". He therefore believes that the mats should be used for therapeutic purposes.

The experiment in Bugene was made at the behest of the American company for age research. It was implemented within the framework of the American project "Global Acting on Aging", which is specifically about older people's health and systematically looking for opportunities create a better standard and quality of life.

Gallstones: how to avoid gallstones

More than 20 million. Americans suffer from gallstones, and more than 2/3 of them are women. Until recently, doctors had no idea how to prevent gall stones, but now four studies have shown that in women increased amounts of vitamin C-intake can diminish risk of biliary diseases (vitamin C cannot, however, remove gallstones that have already been formed).

Most gallstones are composed of cholesterol, says Joel Simon, M.D., Assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of California at San Francisco. Vitamin C may be a contributing factor in the breakdown of cholesterol.

Dr. Simon estimates that a daily dose of between 200 and 250 mg of vitamin C is enough. It is easy to get this dose, if you eat the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables every day – otherwise you have the opportunity to take vitamin C as a dietary supplement.

Vitamin C also has offer benefits, such as vitamin C can help improve the immune system


Fruit and vegetables help the bones?


British scientists have found more evidence that there is a positive correlation between the consumption of fruit and vegetables and bone health.

They have noticed that the impact on the bones, by and large, are fairly unheeded, because most studies have focused on calcium supplements. They have therefore implemented a cross-cutting examination of 62 healthy women between the ages of 45-55 years, where we measured bone density, bone the resumption and dietary composition.

Took the subjects more magnesium, potassium and alcohol, one could observe an increase of the total bone mass. Bone density in the femoral neck was greater in women who had eaten large amounts of fruit in their childhood, than in women who had only eaten moderate or almost no fruit.

Twins growing up separately share the same characteristics

Innate characteristics means more to personality than growing up. That's the surprising conclusion of the first major study of twins who have grown up in different families.

The research is carried out at the University of Minnesota since 1979, and more than 350 pairs of twins have been through extensive tests that have included blood analyses and intelligence and psychological tests.

The researchers studied 1 l personal characteristics and found that most of them were particularly influenced by inherit properties. Parents, the environment and other life experiences for most traits played a minor role. The results stand in sharp contrast to the view that has prevailed since Freud's days. Almost all theories have walked out that environment had a greater influence on the personality than heritage.

The study points out, however, that inherit characteristic dominance does not put the parents out of the game. They can shape the rough outline in personality.

Of the 350 twins that were examined, 44 were identical couples and 21 double-edged couple brought up separately.

By comparing the twins who grew up separated, with those who lived together, could show the relative importance of the heritage and the environment, because the twins have many common features.

If the surroundings had the greatest impact, the twins, who grew up in the same home have more in common than twins who lived separately. But the study of the eleven personal character traits showed that the difference between the two types of twins were far less than expected.

The personal properties were measured using a large questionnaire stated many aspects of personality, eg. aggressiveness, striving for success and the need for confidential relationship.

Linking tradition and authoritarianism was the properties that was mostly determined by innate facility. Heritage also had the greatest influence on properties such as sense of well-being and joy, weakness or resistance to stress and nervousness or desire to take chances.

Social scientists have criticized the Minnesota Group's work. They accept the idea of using twins, but do not believe that the questionnaire method is reliable compared to observe how people actually behave.

Other psychologists believe that the results are misleading because comparing people from a relatively narrow cultural framework. If for example. Pygmies or Eskimos had been involved in the study, the environment would have been shown to play a major role.

"The study does not show that it doesn't matter how to treat children, but that it is a great mistake to educate them alike. In order to guide and shape a child must respect its individuality and cultivate the qualities that will help them in life, "says psychologist David Lykken of the project.
