Mold can appear in almost any living space-new or old, in a house or an apartment. This is not necessarily related to flooding or obvious dampness. Most often, the process begins gradually, in inconspicuous areas where moisture lingers slightly longer than it should and air movement is minimal: behind furniture, near windowsills, in window seals, under household appliances. At first glance, these zones seem safe, but it is precisely here that conditions form in which fungi and actinomycetes maintain stable activity.

Plant-based diets are becoming increasingly common, and their selection is often associated with ethical, environmental, or individual preferences. Vegetarian and fully plant-based diets can be viable, but they differ in nutrient composition, absorption, and the need for correction.

Cortisol helps us wake up in the morning, think clearly, maintain blood sugar levels, regulate blood pressure, and respond to physical and emotional stressors. It is often called the stress hormone, but in reality it is more a hormone of rhythm and adaptation. Without normal cortisol levels, a person cannot function fully - neither physically nor mentally.

Those who have never experienced a migraine rarely understand what stands behind this word. It is not just a headache and not the fatigue after a hard day. A migraine seems to switch a person off from life: light becomes unbearably bright, sounds - deafening, and even slight movement intensifies the pain. In such moments you want only one thing - to hide in silence, darkness, and rest.

Today, food safety is defined not only by freshness but also by the purity of the environment in which food is stored. Modern technologies allow control over every factor - from the gas composition in packaging to the microclimate and container materials.

Humanity has always sought to extend the life of food - from the first farmers drying grain in the sun to modern laboratories with vacuum and freeze-drying systems. The reason is the same as it was thousands of years ago: food is seasonal. The ability to preserve it once meant surviving the winter, waiting for the next harvest, and remaining independent of chance supplies.

Many people believe that if their cholesterol level is normal, their heart is safe. However, statistics show the opposite: heart attacks and strokes often occur in people whose test results do not raise any concerns.

One of the reasons for such “unexplained” cases is lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) - a little-known but extremely important marker of cardiovascular risk.

The speed and pattern of aging differ for each person: in one, blood vessels are the first to be affected, in another — the joints, and in a third — the cognitive sphere. Therefore, an effective program must be based on objective data, not only on the clinical picture.

Aging is a natural biological process that affects every level of the body’s functioning. Over time, the ability of cells to repair themselves declines, damage accumulates, and adaptive mechanisms weaken. But the pace and manifestations of aging vary greatly from person to person: some remain active and mentally sharp well into old age, while others experience significant decline as early as middle age.

Imagine someone starts noticing strange, seemingly unrelated symptoms. After a glass of wine — a sudden hot flush, nasal congestion, and a feeling of an oncoming cold. A bit of aged cheese — itching, heaviness in the stomach, bloating. After eating strawberries — a rash that disappears without a trace in a couple of hours.

In the morning — a dull headache “out of nowhere.” Throughout the day — bouts of irritability and anxiety. In the evening — insomnia and restless sleep. Sometimes after eating — a wave of fatigue so strong it feels like the body is “shutting down.” During stress or certain phases of the hormonal cycle — abdominal pain intensifies, dark thoughts appear, only to be suddenly replaced by a burst of energy and hyperactivity.
