Participação em Inglês no blogue sobre o uso da Internet

Hello everyone!

I will try to briefly give my opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of internet usage.

When it comes to the internet I cannot help but thinking of the great advantages but also disadvantages in its use. In my opinion one of the great advantages is the fast connection for example a video call which brings visual and audible contact to people being in different continents and at low cost. It's also amazing how much information we have access to any day, any time. But of course there are not only benefits, there are also disadvantages in particular easier access to little instructional content and unreliable, as well as abusive contacts , leading many young people, and not only hooked on its use, spending hours and hours without stopping in front of computers, so they isolate themselves from the real world! Like everything in life you need to have moderation in its use, not leaving us addicted by its " charms", because if we neglect spending hours in front of the computer bleaching direct and personal contact with our friends and family and simple conversations and laughs we fulfil the soul and warm the heart!

A great Easter to all

Tendo encontrado um a informação interessante sobre a Asma, junto o texto original e a tradução sobre o que é a Asma

Asthma - Adventist HealthCare

Asthma is a chronic disease that involves inflammation of the lungs. Airways swell and restrict airflow in and out of the lungs, making it hard to breathe. The
word asthma comes from the Greek word for "panting." People with asthma pant and wheeze because of the restricted flow of air.
Normally, when you breathe in an irritant or are you experience a stressful activity such as exercise, your airways relax and open. This allows the lungs to get
rid of irritants or take in more air. But with asthma, muscles in the airways tighten, and the lining of the air passages swells.
About 20 million Americans have asthma, including 9 million children. In fact, asthma is the most common chronic childhood illness. About half of all cases
develop before the age of 10, and many children with asthma also have allergies.
Asthma can either be allergic or non-allergic. In allergic asthma, an allergic reaction to an inhaled irritant -- pet dander, pollen, dust mites -- triggers an attack.
The immune system springs into action, but instead of helping, it causes inflammation. This is the most common form of asthma.
Non-allergic asthma does not involve the immune system. Attacks can be triggered by stress, anxiety, cold air, smoke, or a virus. Some people have symptoms
only when they exercise, a condition known as exercise-induced asthma.
While there is no cure for asthma, it can be controlled.

Tradução

A asma.

 A asma é uma doença crónica que provoca a inflamação dos pulmões. Os canais de circulação do ar incham dificultando a entrada e saída do ar dificultando a respiração

A palavra “Asma” deriva de um termo grego que significa sibilar - os asmáticos chamam a este efeito pieira ou chieira - , ruído que os asmáticos produzem quando têm ataques de asma devido às restrições que o ar encontra ao passar de e para os pulmões.

 Normalmente, sempre que se inala odores ou pós irritantes ou se faz exercício físico activo os canais de passagem de ar alargam-se permitindo que liberte o agente irritante ou permitindo a circulação de maior quantidade de ar. Nestas circunstâncias, nas pessoas com asma, os músculos em vez de se relaxarem contraem-se  e o interior dos canais incha dificultando a passagem do ar.

 Existem cerca de 20 milhões de americanos com asma, dos quais 9 milhões são crianças. De facto a asma é a doença crónica mais comum nas crianças. Cerca de metade dos casos nas crianças desenvolve-se até aos 10 anos de idade, e muitas crianças com asma também desenvolvem alergias que afectam doença.

A asma pode ser alérgica ou não alérgica. Os animais domésticos, os cheiros activos, o pólen das plantas, os pós velhos, etc. podem desenvolver um ataque de asma.

Nestes casos, o sistema imunitário ao entrar em acção, em vez de ajudar, provoca inflamação.  Este é o caso mais comum de asma.

 A asma não alérgica não activa o sistema imunitário, podendo os ataques de asma serem desenvolvidos por stress, ansiedade, frio, fumo,  ou de origem viral.

 Algumas pessoas só sentem sintomas de asma quando fazem exercício físico e assim ficam a conhecer os sintomas.

 Conquanto não haja cura para a asma é uma doença que pode ser controlada.

 

Resolvi fazer a minha participação neste blogue em língua estrangeira neste caso o Inglês com a tradução dos textos que já tinha publicado em Outubro, mais precisamente com os títulos de portugal no seu melhor, e Portugal no seu melhor parte 2 .Aqui fica em inglês .

Portugal at It´s best

Following up the subject of opinion started by Ângelo Teodoro about the Portuguese people depreciate their own country, I do think that in reality we should not have that feeling as have done and still do things that contribute worldwide and have left marks until nowadays as we can see:
1- Portuguese is the sixth most spoken language in the world , the third most spoken in the western languages , after English and after Castellan, being the official language in nine countries and one administrative region distributed by four continents (american,african,asian and European),it´s used as the second language for 20 million persons .It´s the official language of 190 million and 235 million persons distributed by the following countries:
Angola (16,9 millions of inhabitants),Brazil (191 million),Cape Verde (500 mil),Guinea Bissau (1,4 million),Mozambique (20 million),Portugal (10,5 million),São Tomé e Príncipe (182 thousand),East Timor (1,1 millions) Equatorial Guinea (616 thousand) and in the special administrative region of Macau (538 thousands).
We should not forget as well the 4 million Galician and more than 3 million Galician emigrated in countries as Argentina, Uruguay, and Cuba, because the Galician is no more no less than a evolution of the Galician-Portuguese.

2- The Portuguese culture besides the language is present as well worldwide in countries as far as Iran or Brazil. Here is a comprehensive list of edifications built by Portugal in the world, 22 of them are world heritage, and as you can read we have twenty seven good reasons to elevate our ego for being Portuguese.

Swasthya Yôga

Olá boa noite,
publico um artigo sobre Swasthya Yôga (Health/Therapeutic Yoga):


The term 'Swasthya' is a samskrita word, which is made of two elements 'swa' and 'stha'. Swa means the Self and stha means established. So, Swasthya means The Establishment in the Self. That person only will be called Swastha or healthy, who is Established in the Self. The English meaning of Swasthya is Health, which is made of two elements one 'heal' and another 'th'. Health means 'Establishment in the Healing Element'. Nothing has the greatest power to heal, but the SELF.

Yoga's constituents move you with a force in the Self which is the greatest healer, so it is considered also as a therapy and called Yoga Therapy. The word "therapy" comes from the Greek word therapeuein, meaning to heal, to take care of. Yoga Therapy heals and take care of the molecules of your body. All of you know that therapy is required only for a disease.

Disease is made of two segments - 'dis' and 'ease', thus dis-ease. The molecules, wherever and in whatever part of your body, mind and vital, lack ease, understand, there is disease or pain or grief. In another meaning, there Self lacks. If you are undergoing any physical, mental or vital dis-ease, let that part plunge into the Self, or let the Self move into those diseased molecules of your body, mind and vital part. Self can be moved and utilized only when see and handle the Self. First you require seeing then handling.

YOGA is a Science and Art, discovered by India, which has been used since ancient time to modern era, for Realization of SELF, so that you can obviously see and utilize your Self for wellness of body, mind, vitals and environment.
