Presentations for Health Day on April 7. Presentation: Ten days of April in human history

Description of the slides:

1. April 7 is World Health Day. 190 countries of the world take part in its celebration. This holiday has become traditional since 1950. On April 7, 1948, WHO - the World Health Organization - was created, and it was its appearance that served as the impetus for the annual celebration of Health Day. This holiday is designed to help people appreciate how much health means in a person’s life.

2. “The only beauty I know is health” Heinrich Heine

3. The main factors of health: regimen, nutrition, movement, hardening.

4. Nutrition is directly related to the intensity of life, human performance, the body’s resistance to the external environment and infectious diseases. Its connection with a person’s mood has been proven. Proper nutrition reduces fatigue, improves well-being, reduces irritability and agitation. To maintain good health, each person's diet should be limited in volume and complete in its range of products. Recommendations for a balanced diet are very individual, but there are principles that everyone should adhere to. Everything in a person is rhythmic: the work of internal organs, tissue cells, breathing rate, heart pulsation. It has been proven that normal gastric secretion can only be maintained if there are clearly defined intervals between meals. Maintaining a rhythm of meals is largely the key to a good appetite. Experts believe that the main meal should be taken during the day, and a smaller portion after 18 hours. You should not eat meat in the evening; spicy foods in the evening, as well as strong tea and coffee, are not healthy.

5. High physical activity and sufficient physical activity contribute to the preservation and strengthening of human health. Surveys have shown that those who engage in additional sports have more harmonious physical development. They have a higher lung capacity and greater muscle strength.

6. Hardening is one of the forms of strengthening human health. 1000 years ago, the great physician of the Ancient East, Avicenna, wrote: Be friends with gymnastics, Always be cheerful, And you will live 100 years, and maybe more. Potions, powders - the wrong path to health. Heal yourself with nature - in the garden and open field.

7. There are many ways of hardening. A very simple and effective way of hardening is walking barefoot. The fact is that the soles of our feet are a somewhat unusual part of the skin of our body. There are points there - projections of our internal organs. By pressing on them, you can relieve pain and have a healing effect on certain organs.

8. A significant role in maintaining health is played by the fight against bad habits: smoking and alcohol. There is such a joke. A tobacco seller praises his product at a fair: “Buy tobacco, wonderful tobacco! My tobacco is not simple, but with a secret. My tobacco won't make you an old man, a dog won't bite you, and a thief won't break into your house. One guy bought some tobacco and started asking the seller: “Why won’t I be an old man?” -Because you won’t live to old age. Why doesn't the dog bite? - So you will walk with a stick. - Why doesn’t the thief break into the house? “Because you’ll be coughing all night.” Remember: He who smokes tobacco is his own enemy. Tobacco is no friend to the mind. A smoker is his own gravedigger.

9. Drinking alcohol is also a bad habit of the body. No wonder they say: “If you reach for vodka, your life will be short.” Drunkenness leads to 6 evils: poverty, discord, illness, loss of reputation, shame and weakening of mental activity. Alcohol requires the sacrifice of not only adults, but also their future. For example, in the attic of the barn, where moonshine was secretly distilled, there were 160 chicken eggs for subsequent incubation. Imagine the surprise of the owners when only 78 chickens hatched from the eggs. 40 of them soon died, and 25 turned out to be monsters. The embryos were poisoned by vapors of alcohol and essential oils. All this applies to humans. In families that drink, 38% of children are underdeveloped and sick. Children are stillborn 2 times more often. Alcohol shortens life by an average of 17 years.

10. Rules for a healthy lifestyle.

11. Happy Health Day!!!

World Health Day is celebrated annually on April 7 since 1950. On this day in 1948, the Constitution of the World Health Organization came into force.

The theme for 2014 is “A small bite is a source of great danger.” Disease vectors are known to include small organisms such as mosquitoes, bedbugs, ticks and freshwater molluscs that can transmit disease from one person to another and from one place to another. Accordingly, they thereby pose a threat to our health both at home and during travel. Therefore, the World Health Day 2014 campaign aims to spread awareness about some of the major vectors, the diseases they cause, and how we can protect ourselves from them.

The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a bright Christian holiday, which the Orthodox Church celebrates on April 7 (new style), and in Orthodoxy it is one of the twelve holidays. In ancient times, the feast of the Annunciation was given different names: the Conception of Christ, the Annunciation of Christ, the Beginning of Redemption, the Annunciation of the Angel to Mary. Nothing is known about where and how the Feast of the Annunciation first appeared. It is only known that in 560 Emperor Justinian indicated the date for the celebration of the Annunciation - March 25 (April 7, new style). The name of the holiday - Annunciation - conveys the main meaning of the event associated with it: the announcement to the Virgin Mary of the good news about the conception and birth of the Divine Infant Christ. This holiday belongs to the twelve permanent holidays and is celebrated every year on the same April day. Source: http://www.calend.ru/holidays/0/0/173/ © Calend.ru

Vector-borne diseases

World Health Day 2014

A WHO report suggests that European children spend up to 90% of their time indoors. At the same time, they are exposed to indoor pollutants: tobacco smoke, biomass combustion products, humidity, house dust, epidermal allergens, as well as environmental pollutants that partially enter homes from outside.

Maternal smoking can increase the risk of developing respiratory tract diseases in the first three years of life by more than 50%, and in school-age children by 30-40%. In addition, exposure to tobacco smoke aggravates already developed diseases, causing their exacerbation.

In addition, the environmental situation in many countries around the world leaves much to be desired. There are many more factors that destroy human health than preserve it.

Ten days of April in human history

On April 1, 1938, the first wide presentation of instant coffee took place in Switzerland, which today is considered one of the most common drinks in the world. It is believed that it was from this day that the drink began to spread widely and quickly gained popularity. The method for producing aromatic coffee granules was the fruit of seven years of laboratory research by Max Morgenthaler, a chemist-technologist at the Swiss company Nestlé. To be fair, it is worth noting that instant coffee was born long before this presentation - in 1899 in Japan. The Japanese inventor of instant tea, Satori Kato, adapted the technology he invented for coffee.

On April 1, 1778, New Orleans businessman Oliver Pollock invented the dollar sign. Pollock took the Spanish peseta sign as a model. In the peseta sign, two lines on top of the letter S symbolized the Pillars of Hercules, on which the national coat of arms of Spain rests. Two columns entwined with a ribbon symbolized the edge of the earth, the end, a dead end. And the inscription on the tape read “nec plus ultra” - “nowhere further”... By the way, the word “dollar” itself comes from the German thaler, derived from the abbreviation Joachimsthaler münze (coin from the St. Joachim Valley).

April 2, 1833 The complete edition of Alexander Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” was published

Pushkin began working on the novel on May 9, 1823. The last point was set by him in September 1830 in Boldino. Having considered his work completed, Pushkin himself calculated the time spent on writing the novel - 7 years 4 months and 17 days. On April 2, 1833, the novel was published. In one week, the five-thousandth circulation of the first edition was sold out entirely. For that time it was a sensation.

The word “jazz” was mentioned in print for the first time It has long been believed that the word “jazz” was first mentioned in print on March 6, 1913, in a San Francisco newspaper. But in 2003, at New York University, librarian George A. Thompson Jr. found other information: the word “jazz” was mentioned in the Los Angeles Times from April 2 1912. Later, in 1917, the American magazine Literary Digest authoritatively explained that “ jazz is music that makes people shake, jump and writhe" There is reason to believe that the word “jazz” was used back in the mid-19th century as the name for an ecstatic, encouraging cry among blacks. But there are many other versions of the origin of the word “jazz”. For example: from French jaser- chat, speak quickly; from African jaiza- the name of a certain type of drum sound; from Arabic jazib- seducer...

For the first time in the world, a human-to-human kidney transplant was performed by the head of the surgical department of the Kherson City Hospital, Yuriy Voronoi. On April 3, he transplanted a kidney from a 60-year-old deceased man into a 26-year-old woman. This fact is confirmed by archival documents.

- Vitamin C Birthday

April 4, 1932 American biochemist Charles Glen King first isolated vitamin C (or ascorbic acid). This vitamin is very important for the functioning of the human body. It plays a major role in the formation of collagen, which is necessary for the growth and repair of tissue cells, gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth, and also promotes the absorption of iron by the body. It promotes wound healing, lowers cholesterol levels, protects against infections, and prevents blood clots. The need for vitamin C increases with illness, stress, and exposure to toxic influences. The vitamin is involved in the production of vital chemicals and helps cleanse the body of toxins. Scientists have also concluded that a lack of vitamin C accelerates the aging of the body.

RuNet's birthday

April 7th marks a significant date for all users of the Russian-language Internet - the Birthday of the Runet (RuNet). In 2009, the Russian segment of the World Wide Web turned 15 years old.

On April 7, 1994, the domain - .Ru - was registered for Russia and included to the international database of country code top-level domains. Before this, on December 4, 1993, at a meeting of the largest Russian providers of that time (Demos Plus, Techno, GlasNet, SovAm Teleport, EUnet/Relcom, X-Atom, FREEnet), the Agreement “On the procedure for administering the zone.RU” was signed.

Thus, Russia was officially recognized as a state represented on the Internet. According to the agreement, responsibilities for the administration and technical support of the national domain .RU were transferred to the Russian Research Institute for the Development of Public Networks (RosNIIROS), which until 2000 registered all domains in the RU zone.

Prior to this, all domestic Internet resources, starting from 1991, were located in international domains and in the .SU zone. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, work began on creating domains for the newly independent states, and over time, 15 domains for the former Soviet republics appeared.

As REN TV reported:

“...only a few know that the first Internet bridge in the Soviet Union was carried out back in 1976. Details of the domestic development are still kept strictly secret.

On the birthday of the Runet, its developers gather at the museum of the Mars military enterprise. ... Thirty years ago, the first electronic message in the Union arrived from Ulyanovsk to Moscow. Valentin Tipikin at that time was a simple engineer. He recalls that they didn’t even think about weekends and holidays on Mars - they were in a hurry with the secret development. The first test took place on December 31st. Two hours before the New Year, an email was sent to Moscow with a picture of a bottle of champagne. And within a few seconds we received an answer..."

1899

The first electric tram was launched in Moscow.

By the beginning of the last decade of the 19th century, horse-drawn railways could not cope with the flow of passengers. In addition, the condition of the equipment - rail tracks and rolling stock - was so deplorable that the need to replace it was obvious to everyone.

In 1898, the re-equipment of the Dolgorukovskaya line of the horse-drawn railway began from Strastnaya Square along Malaya Dmitrovka Street and further to Butyrskaya Zastava, as well as two experimental suburban lines: Petrovskaya - from Tverskaya Zastava to the Petrovsky Palace, and Butyrskaya - from Butyrskaya Zastava along Verkhnyaya and Nizhnaya Maslovka to Petrovsky Park.

By the end of January 1899, on the first section from Petrovsky Park along Verkhnyaya and Nizhnyaya Maslovka to Butyrskaya Zastava, all major construction work was completed. A trial run of the electric tram line has begun, as well as training of operating personnel.

And regular tram service began on March 26, old style, or April 7, new style.

Tram cars ran at intervals of 14 minutes. The operating hours were set from 8 am to 8 pm. A ticket along the entire line cost 6 kopecks.

In 1907, tram service appeared in St. Petersburg.

At the general meeting of the Union of Artists in Petrograd, At the Academy of Arts, under the slogan “Everyone is in defense of art,” a resolution was adopted, which states that art should exist regardless of one or another political system of the country.

1925

TIKHON /Vasily Ivanovich BELLAVIN/
(31.1.1865 - 1925),
11th Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus'.

The patriarchate, as fate would have it, was restored to the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in the early days of Soviet power. The Church then had to not only restore its lost authority, but also endure unprecedented trials. The patriarch himself fully felt them. In 1922, when Tikhon spoke out against the forced confiscation of church valuables, he was arrested and interrogated. The reprisal that was being prepared against him had to be postponed due to the very likely international isolation and major internal problems.

One of the last acts of the patriarch was the preservation of the church (old) calendar. Few people know that in October 1923 the Russian Orthodox Church announced the transition to a new style of chronology, but a month later canceled it. The transition to a new style was one of the demands of the authorities on the patriarch upon his release. In return, more favorable treatment of the church and its institutions was promised. The patriarch politely explained the reason for his refusal to implement the reform of the church calendar in his statement to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee for two reasons: firstly, the Russian people value traditional immutability.

Departure from it has already given rise to an Old Believer schism.. Secondly, the church year is so closely intertwined with the life of the people and the life of the peasant, who determines the beginning of all field work by it, that its abolition could cause chaos and great unrest.

But Patriarch Tikhon concluded his message with words that became a direct accusation of the new government:“The Church is currently experiencing an unprecedented external shock. She is deprived of material means of subsistence, surrounded by an atmosphere of suspicion and hostility, dozens of bishops and hundreds of priests and laity without trial, often without even explanation, thrown into prison, exiled, dragged from place to place... Churches are closed, they turn to clubs and cinemas ... The clergy is subject to unbearable taxes, suffers all kinds of restrictions in their homes, and their children are expelled from the service and from educational institutions simply because their fathers serve the Church.”
