Chapter 1. The Charm of Health
I have been working as a psychologist for seventeen years and I can say with full responsibility that no matter how hard a woman tries to put on the most skillful makeup, powder her problems, splatter them with varnish or glued nails, a five-minute look at her is enough for me to determine the complex of diseases, which she suffers.
The fact is that powder is powder, but you won’t be able to hide the hollows and dark circles under your eyes with it. Just like the downturned corners of the lips. Just like split hair or pale, tired skin. It’s a pity to observe and see that Russian women, most often smart and beautiful by nature, pay so little attention to their health.
Apparently, they don’t yet understand that the best appearance is a healthy appearance. How can a person not familiar with medicine know that if your nails are broken and dull hair is split, it means that you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and your calcium and magnesium reserves in your body are depleted. How would an uninitiated person know that these yellowish spots on your face are a sign of improper bowel function, or more precisely, constipation. And brown shades around the upper lip are signs of urolithiasis. Perhaps you yourself don’t know.
You wonder where these skin irregularities come from, why neither French cream nor chamomile infusions help? Yes, everything is very simple, my dear, the reasons are inside you and even with the most expensive cosmetics you will not be able to get rid of many external shortcomings. No matter how hard you try...
I know a wonderful hairdresser, a true master of his craft. To my complaint that I somehow didn’t like the fact that my hair began to fall out, she answered simply and bluntly: “Take Piracetam!” Oh, how surprised I was! In my heart I was expecting advice about some miraculous hair balm or something like that. Marina smiled and said, “Yes, but piracetam improves blood circulation in the scalp and hair stops falling out.”
“But that’s absolutely true,” I later thought to myself. Piracetam - to improve blood circulation in the head. Moreover, the remedy is always useful and has virtually no contraindications. I followed her advice and it really helped.
There is no need to understand this chapter as a call to immediately run to the district clinic and begin a full examination of the body. No, nothing like that! A person is designed in such a way that any minor problem in his body immediately signals it. The trouble is different - we simply brush aside these signals. We say - shut up my body, I have no time for you, I have no time! And everything turns out stupid and quite irrational. Instead of taking the time to improve the functioning of the stomach and intestines, we fight bad breath by spending money (and a lot of money, mind you) on purchasing the most effective, refreshing products, deodorants, rinses, chewing gum, etc. Although in fact, it would be more correct, first of all, to take something sedative and begin to thoroughly improve the stomach-intestinal system.
We will spend money on appointments with a cosmetologist, fight the bags under our eyes until our lower back hurts, and we find out that sand is found in our kidneys. Only then will we remember that - “Yes!”, it’s true, there was always no time to run to the toilet on time! As a result, the body simply learned to live in this mode. However, neither for us, nor for the kidneys, such loads were beyond our strength.
It should be remembered that a lot of “external” problems can be caused by a neglectful attitude towards one’s health and one’s body. Therefore, it is completely natural that healthy women have stunningly impressive appearance. They have really thick and shiny hair, they have shining and expressive eyes, they have fresh, elastic skin and naturally bright lips. They have a flexible spine and a light, elastic gait. And such a woman has to use cosmetics
