How your brain is wired to learn a language in 10 days
(ARA) - If you've ever watched TV or a movie and seen an American actor rapidly speak a foreign language like they've been doing it their whole lives, you've probably wished you could do it too. Whether you believe it or not, you can: Your brain is already wired to learn a language in 10 days. You just need to activate it.
The National Security Agency and other important government organizations have purchased this rapid language learning method: the Pimsleur Approach, which has proved to one of the fastest ways to learn a new language.
Your brain is already wired to learn a language in 10 days. You just need to activate it.
In today's global society, learning a foreign language is crucial, whether you need it for work or pleasure. With the right tools and training, you'll be able to connect with new friends and business acquaintances more effectively thanks to your new ability to speak, listen, learn and improvise in another language. And it is much simpler than people think.
Numerous studies have revealed that in every country, native-speakers use only about 2,500 distinct words and phrases on a daily basis. Dr. Paul Pimsleur, creator of the Pimsleur Approach, spent his lifetime studying these language building blocks. By aiming each lesson at teaching you to use those 2,500 words, the Pimsleur Approach teaches you to speak the most in the least amount of time. It's not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use.
The Pimsleur Approach effortlessly locks new language material into your brain after only one listen. And it only takes one 30-minute lesson a day.
The Pimsleur Approach
The entire Pimsleur Approach is what language learning should be: quick, fun, and easy! You'll absorb your new language effortlessly without any reading, writing, or computer use. The Pimsleur Approach has a 100-percent guarantee: Speak in 10 days or you don't pay.
Who is Dr. Pimsleur?
Dr. Pimsleur was a language educator for more than 20 years. He noticed that children have an amazing ability to learn new languages quickly. He spent his life developing this course to let you, as an adult, learn a new language as easily as a child would. You might not realize it, but you've already learned one language using the Pimsleur Approach. Your first language.

Os benefícios da atividade física vão além de manter o corpo em dia. De acordo com uma pesquisa da Universidade de Tel Aviv, em Israel, exercícios físicos ajudam a melhorar o humor no trabalho e diminuir a probabilidade de desenvolver depressão e Síndrome de Burnout (também chamada de síndrome do desgaste profissional, que é a exaustão física, mental e emocional). Os dados são do jornal Daily Mail.
Os cientistas avaliaram os estados pessoais, profissionais e psicológicos de 1.632 trabalhadores israelenses saudáveis dos setores público e privado. Os participantes foram divididos em quatro grupos: um que não se exercita, o segundo que coloca o corpo em ação de 75 a 150 minutos por semana, o terceiro que pratica atividade física de 150 a 240 minutos e, o último, que sua a camisa por mais de 240 minutos. Todos foram acompanhados ao longo de nove anos.
As taxas de depressão e Síndrome de Burnout eram claramente mais elevadas entre os sedentários. Quanto mais ativa era a pessoa, menor a chance de ter algum dos problemas. Constatou-se que a equipe que se envolveu com pelo menos 240 minutos semanais de atividade exibiu praticamente nenhum sintoma e, a que optou por 150 minutos, apresentou melhora na autoestima e capacidade de trabalho.
Las proteínas, la clave para la Universidad de Copenhague.
¿Cómo estáis? Quiero dedicar este post a dar un poquito más de información sobre las proteínas. Aunque la gente hable y piense que en mi Método sólo se comen proteínas, la realidad es que esto ocurre sólo en la primera fase que dura un máximo de 7 días. No obstante, como he visto que las dudas son cada vez mayores, quiero hablar un poquito sobre este nutriente y sobre un estudio que se ha hecho en la Universidad de Copenhague.
Las proteínas son el único de los tres nutrientes que no son un combustible natural del organismo. Sus propiedades favorecen el crecimiento, la renovación de la piel, de las uñas, del cabello, el tejido muscular, la memoria, las células de la sangre… Además, tienen una acción muy especial en el funcionamiento del organismo y el control de la inmunidad. Se componen de 20 aminoácidos diferentes y, como sabéis, existen proteínas de origen animal y de origen vegetal.
Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis Linked to Fertility Woes, Miscarriage.
Some women with these autoimmune disorders avoided pregnancy, study found
- Share10
THURSDAY, Feb. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Women with rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus often have fewer children than they'd hoped for, according to a new study.
These autoimmune diseases, which typically develop during women's reproductive years, cause fertility problems and miscarriage, researchers said.
Lupus causes the body's immune system to attack healthy tissues and organs. Rheumatoid arthritis leads to painful joint inflammation.
For the study, researchers asked 578 women with rheumatoid arthritis and 114 women with lupus about their reproductive health, and divided them into three groups according to how their condition affected their desire and ability to have children.
Group A included women who had fewer children than planned. Group B was comprised of women who had number of children they had planned for, and women in Group C were no longer interested in having children due to their concerns about how their illness would affect their children.
More than 60 percent of the women surveyed fell into Group C and no longer wanted to have children, according to the study appearing Feb. 16 in Arthritis Care & Research.
"Our study highlights important reproductive health concerns for women with [rheumatoid arthritis and lupus]," study author Dr. Megan Clowse said in a journal news release.
Of the remaining women, 55 percent with rheumatoid arthritis and 64 percent of those of those with lupus had fewer children than originally planned.
Among these women, those with rheumatoid arthritis had an infertility rate of 42 percent, or 1.5 times higher than those in group B. Both groups had similar rates of miscarriage.
Women with lupus who had fewer children than planned had the same number of pregnancies as those in Group B, but their miscarriage rate was three times higher.
The authors concluded that informing women with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis about their medical options during pregnancy and how to control their disease will help them achieve their family planning goals.
"Further study of the underlying causes of infertility and pregnancy loss in women with [rheumatoid arthritis and lupus] is needed to help fulfill their desire for children," Clowse said.

Shocking discovery for joint relief
Start living healthier by taking care of your joints. No matter what your age, proper joint care is critical. Do your joints ever feel like the brakes in your car? Slowing you down, jerking from side to side, and even stopping you dead in your tracks?
Millions of Americans feel the effects of aging. Every movement puts pressure on your joints. Over time this wear and tear can lead to discomfort and sometimes more serious joint issues. Your joints age over time. Like the brakes in your car, they need regular maintenance to function best.
Your joints make an active life possible. That freedom should never be taken away. Researchers have been working for years to discover the right ingredients and compounds to create a single solution that can help people regain their mobility. There have been numerous failed products over the year. Cheap glucosamine and Chondroitin products. A variety of gimmicky supplements and hodge podge ingredients.
But after years of waiting, a new compound by researchers in Cambridge, MA is offering stunning results. The new proprietary compound is trademarked as "Instaflex Joint Support" and is literally changing lives. Conventional joint products normally include just a single ingredient, such as Glucosamine, and work haphazardly. Instaflex is the first compound that combines ingredients carefully selected based on clinical research, into a single once-daily dosage.
- Relieve and comfort your joints
- Improve mobility and increase flexibility
- Lubricate for healthy fluid movement
- Protect and enhance your mobility
- Sponsor of Arthritis Foundation
Many joint supplements offer a mix of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, powerful joint relievers in their own right, but not effective for everyone. Instaflex Joint Supportcombines those proven joint relievers with several new fast-acting compounds including Hyaluronic Acid, Turmeric Root Extract, and Boswellia Serrata Extract, to help relieve joints, increase mobility, and protect joints for many more individuals.
GNC stores have locked down the nationwide exclusive to Instaflex Joint Support, butsamples are available online to try. The samples arrive just a few days after ordering and unlike most joint relievers, the results are almost immediate. Instaflex not only relieved joints, but resulted in fewer painful flare-ups by week's end for some. By the second week of the trial, results can be even more impressive with increased flexibility, mobility, and even those with severe joint discomfort feel impressive relief.
While many supplements can't provide relief and comfort for everyone, Instaflex's interesting combination of effective joint relievers and new compounds scientifically designed by researchers works great.
Instaflex is an impressive product and a great choice for anyone looking to relieve their joints and support long lasting joint health. Instaflex is available in GNC stores butsamples are available here. You can try Instaflex now to feel the benefits in person.
