When loneliness creeps up and rears its ugly head you can either decide to hang with it or you can decide that you would like to beat it. Most people would prefer to beat loneliness but have no idea how. It’s not that hard if you have a phone, a few bucks, or a destination. Sometimes our friends are far away. We move. We start over. We get divorced, and loneliness floods us because we are more than merely alone. Just because the circumstances of your loneliness are not perfect, this doesn’t mean that you can’t beat it rather than hang with it.
Some people use the internet as a cure for loneliness. I don’t think this is the most effective cure for loneliness as this can lead to much more heart break than it solves. But there are times when the only connection you have to the outside world late at night is through technology. What matters is that you reach beyond the loneliness and that you enable yourself to become a competent social person once again. We all have periods of loneliness and some of them are absolutely heart wrenching. But we all have a choice when the chips are down. We can either get up and start moving or we can stay where we are. When you are grappling with loneliness, which option is more likely to release you from your current dilemma? Most of us have a way out of our loneliness even if it is only for a short time. Those reprieves can mean more than finding a new partner when you are in the boughs of loniliness.

We have no time
Everyday we have no time to cook or no place to cook but we are hungry and we move to the nearest cafe or McDonald’s. There we can buy almost everything we want and we try to do it as quickly as possible. We eat quickly and move to our jobs, universities etc. Fast food restaurants help us to save our time, but do they help to save our health? Many people consider this question to be childish and silly, but there is still a food for thought.
It is not a secret that there is a great amount of calories in fast food. But there is also a trans fat in fast food. Trans fat is a common name for a type of unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acid. Trans fats which are commonly found in fast food have been shown in many tests to have a negative health effect on the body. A 2006 study fed monkeys a diet consisting of a similar level of trans fats a person who ate fast food regularly would consume. Both diets contained the same overall number of calories. It was found out that monkeys who consumed higher level of trans fat developed more abdominal fat than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats. They also developed signs of insulin resistance, which is an early indicator of diabetes. After six years on the diet, the trans fat fed monkeys had gained 7.2% of their body weight, compared to just 1.8% in the unsaturated fat group.
To sum up we would like to add that people should think what they eat.

What is TV for you?
Television is one of the most used words in contemporary language. However, it's not a very old thing. It's a way of delivering information, a mass-media tool. It's the second place after the Internet to know news quickly and the weather, to listen to the experts' comments on political situation, to watch an interesting or a useful films (they are rare to be both at once), to see the wild life or some countries you will have never been to. It creates dreams, it makes you think like other people, dream of and buy the things they want you to dream of and buy. So, there are many opinions about the television.
Nearly everyone nowadays has a TV-set in his house, but does he watch it? Elderly people, usually pensioners who have a lot of free time; they watch TV for some hours a day. They most enjoy the soap operas, and some specialists even call it a sort of narcotics. Adults who still work watch not much, but they relax watching films. And the young people, that some years ago were constantly watching TV, now gave it up for another greatest tool of entertainment - the Internet.
