What is Health, Irina Marchenkova, CHIC Irina, Fit at Forty

What is Health? What is Health? In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." WHO, 1948. In 1986, the WHO added "A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities." So it has expanded to include social and personal resources. But health has been defined beyond this definition. Researchers claim that health is related to resilience and defined it as the ability to adapt to new

Make Exercise Enjoyable | Walking

Irina Marchenkova, Make Exercise Enjoyable, Walking, Fit at Forty

It is important to make exercise enjoyable and entertaining. Exercise does not have to be exhaustive, it can be as simple as talking a walk on a Saturday afternoon along the waterfront. Today, I spent a couple of hours walking along the Toronto Waterfront at an easy pace. I had a wonderful time, just enjoying the lake and the park. I thought to myself, but am I really getting any exercise without working up a sweat, or was this just for fun? To get the aerobic exercise, walking should be brisk. But even walking at an easy pace works your

A couple of months ago a friend of mine had an accident water skiing. he pulled the muscle in his leg right off the bone. he had to have the surgery and he may never walk again the same way.

We don't know what the alternative to the bad things that

irina marchenkova, Law of Attraction, Fit at Forty Club, Fit at Forty Plus Club

Many people just don't really understand the Law of Attraction. Many think that you just imagine what you want and all of a sudden... it’s there. That is not how it works. Because people don't understand it, people think that it doesn’t work, and only because it didn’t produce the instant desired results.This law always works, since it is how the Universe works. It's like the Law of Gravity; you can’t see it and you often aren’t consciously aware of it. However, if you observe closely you can very easily see the law in action. The article below by Irina
