Brazil: Everything From The Amazon to Carnaval

November 5th 2009 04:55
By: Jose Balagnio

Most people think of rainforests, tropical beauty and the Carnival when Brazil comes to mind. It's a fascinating and mysterious country, with a lot to offer visitors. Some of the best include warm people and luscious natural beauty. Brazil has many social problems in its urban environments. It's not the destination of choice for many, but for those who do visit, they never forget the experience.

Brazil is populated by approximately 175 million people, most of which speak Portuguese. This number often surprises tourists who assume that the majority of Brazil consists of remote rainforests. While much of the Brazilian rainforest is still untouched and remote, unfortunately much of it is being clear-cut. It's a sad fact, but much of the rain forest and its natural beauty disappear each day.

There has been a lot of bad press surrounding Brazil lately. Stories broadcast worldwide have emphasized the extreme poverty in some areas. Certainly there are places you should avoid, but they are mainly sections of the larger cities like Rio de Janeiro. Do some research before your trip so you'll know where it's safe to travel and which areas to avoid. As long as you know the prevailing social conditions, you should be safe.

Brazil is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and is a land of beautiful beaches and plenty of opportunities to take part in water sports. Ipanema Beach is the most famous beach in Brazil. Located in Rio de Janeiro, Ipanema Beach is covered with beautiful people, most wearing next to nothing. Perhaps not the best family destination, but if you enjoy people watching this is the place to be.

The city of Rio de Janeiro is well worth visiting. Part of its beauty comes from the skyline filled with both island and mountain views. It's a unique and stunning city. Two sites to be sure and take in are Sugar Loaf Mountain and the statue of Christ the Redeemer. The people are high energy and love to party all through the night. If you visit during Carnival, don't expect to sleep much, as it's one huge celebration.

Heading to the Amazon rainforest is a great day trip. You will get to experience many species of birds and plant life so different from anything else you have likely seen. You can also see many abandoned river villages that recently housed tribes of Indians. Unfortunately, "progress" has driven them further into the Amazon.

If you are looking for something a little less touristy and unique, head to Jericoacoara. Jericoacoara is a small fishing village, and it's slowly gaining in popularity with tourists, but mainly back packers. It's a beautiful little area where the wind surfing is great, and you can just relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities for a few days.

If you are flying into Brazil, Rio de Janeiro has the largest and most popular airport. However, you can certainly fly into the other major centers of Brazil depending on where you are flying from. If you intend to head to several different areas of Brazil you'll probably need to take flights within the country as it's quite large. Flights are rather expensive so try and organize your trip to reduce time spent in the air. Bus tours are another good choice and let you see much of the surrounding areas as well.

Even with its problems, Brazil is still a great destination. The people are warm and friendly and the climate is warm. You will definitely feel welcome there.

What Is Anorexia Nervosa And Who Might Be Affected?

October 17th 2009 01:41
By: Cherdkiat Taesookavat

•A distorted body image;
•Amenorrhea (absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles when they are otherwise expected to occur).

The classic pattern of restrictive eating is often accompanied by recurrent binge eating and purging episodes. Subsequent related medical complications are:

•Starvation;
•Weight loss;
•Related serious medical complications that can result in death.

If you are or someone know has an ongoing preoccupation with food and weight would benefit from exploring these thoughts and relationships with a professional therapist.

Anorexia literally means loss of appetite. People with anorexia nervosa ignore hunger to control their desire to eat. They may frequently cook for others or hide food that they will not eat in their personal space. Obsessive exercise may accompany the starving behavior.

Eating disorders tend to occur in pre- or post-puberty, but can develop at any major life change. Anorexia nervosa predominately affects adolescent girls and young adult women. The condition also occurs but is less common in men and older women. The reason behind most younger women develop anorexia nervosa is to achieve an “ideal” figure. Society pressures younger women to be thin in advertising and the media.

Others at risk for anorexia nervosa may include:

•Athletes;
•Actors;
•Dancers;
•Models;
•TV personalities.

For this latter group thinness becomes a professional requirement.

People with lives that are chaotic and emotionally painful may find great satisfaction in the control achieved over weight and food.
Common signs of anorexia nervosa:

•The main sing is a preoccupation with food and a refusal to maintain minimally normal body weight. People with anorexia nervosa think they look fat even when they are bone-thin. They look in the mirror and instead of seeing the frail thin person they are, they see a very “fat” image starring back at them from the mirror;
•Nails and hair become brittle;
•Skin may become dry and yellow;
•Depression is common;
•They often complain of feeling cold because the body temperature drops;
•They may develop lanugo (a term used to describe fine hair on a newborn) on their body;
•They may develop strange eating habits such as cutting their food in tiny pieces, refusing to eat in front of others, or fixing elaborate meals for others in which they do not eat;
•Food and weight become obsessions;

The causes of anorexia nervosa are inconclusive and varied. Scientists study the personalities, genetics, environments and biochemistry of people with these illnesses to try and understand and uncover the origins of eating disorders.

There are certain personality traits common in persons with anorexia nervosa which are:

•Low self-esteem;
•Social isolation (which usually occurs after the behavior associated with anorexia nervosa begins);
•Perfectionism.

Persons affected with anorexia nervosa tend to be good students and excellent athletes. It seems clear that these people ignore problems that are too painful or irresolvable by focusing on weight loss and food.

Eating disorders also tend to run in families. Female relatives are most often the ones affected. It has been found that a girl has a 10 to 20 times higher risk of developing anorexia nervous if she has a sibling with the disease. This finding suggests that genetic factors may cause some people to develop eating disorders. Stressful events are likely to increase the risk.

In general if a you or a person you know fear they have anorexia nervosa, a doctor knowledgeable about eating disorders should be consulted to make a definitive and accurate diagnosis. Other psychiatric disorders can occur together with anorexia nervosa such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Thanks for sharing. Up to this time, I just need a few cents to reach $40. I have several blogs and sites and it took me 1 year and 2 months to reach that amount. Good news is, the $10 in it, I earned just this month. At least, my monthly earnings are increasing. We just have to be patient.
