1) Is your television killing you? Did you know that every hour you spend watching it can take 22 minutes off of your life? This means that viewing for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years!
2) The above information is based on a study done by a group of researchers at the University of Queensland, Australia. The inactivity associated with TV viewing is dangerous and gives greater opportunities for unhealthy overeating. The researchers also showed that a sedentary lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking cigarettes. The scientists calculated that half an hour of watching TV‟ is equivalent to smoking one cigarette, with both cutting 11 minutes off a lifespan. Australians watch TV for an average of six hours per day and health effects are likely to be similar in other industrialized countries: the average amount of time spent watching TV daily is four hours in the UK and live hours in the United States.
3) An earlier study associated television viewing with the risk of developing type-2 diabetes and heart disease, as well as with the risk of early death. That research showed that these risks rose by 20% for people who spend just two hours a day in front of the TV.
4) The good news is that exercising for just 15 minutes a day can increase your lifespan by up to three years. It can also reduce the risk of premature death by 14%. Each extra 15 minutes of exercise added to that can decrease this risk by another 4%.

14. What activity can increase the health risks of diabetes and heart disease by 20%?

When Hijama is performed, small cuts are made at specific body sites, and impure blood is taken out. This blood is collected in small glass “cups”. Afterwards, the body feels refreshed and energized, having been cleansed of impurities and toxins or poisons.
2) Hijama can sometimes offer relief where other forms of treatment or medications have failed. It is highly recommended in cases of lethargy and dullness, and for people with headaches.indigestion or sleeping problems. These complaints can be signs that the body is suffering fromsome form of toxicity.
3) A qualified Hijama practitioner must use clean instruments and utensils and perform the therapy carefully and with great sensitivity. Treatment is often performed on the 17th, the 19th, or the 21st of the lunar month. When done in coordination with a healthy diet and exercise, Hijama can give long-lasting, satisfactory results.

10-الحَمَام

1) When I see pigeons all around outside, a part of in admires them while another part is disgusted by them, admire them for their ability to adapt to and flourish in their environment, no matter where they are and I am disgusted by how dirty they can be!
2) In all the places I have travelled, whether it is North America. Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or East Asia, pigeons are always a natural part of the scenery. They build nests wherever there is a suitable space in the urban or country environment. In the city, you’ll find them on window ledges or any other relatively safe nook or cranny. On the countryside, they build nests in trees, bushes, or on the ground.
3) In addition to living in many different locations, pigeons also come in numerous sizes and colors. The smallest pigeons are the size of sparrows, whereas the largest can grow up to the size of a turkey! Some fruit-eating pigeons are very brightly colored, with red. pink, or orange feathers. Some pigeons even have crests or other distinctive ornamentation. Most pigeons I see in the city, however, are a dull-colored gray, with occasional splash of subtle dark green or purple plumage around the neck.
4) While perhaps pigeons mind their own business in their natural green environment. in the city they are often considered pests. I myself have often thought of them as “rats with wings.” Like rats, they show up wherever there are scraps of food to be eaten, but unlike nocturnal rats, they do it during all times of the day. Many pigeons are also not afraid of humans, but will walk very close to them to peck up any crumbs.
5) The worst aspect of pigeons living alongside us in the city is that they produce a lot of smelly waste! I hate having to walk over sidewalks that are coated in pigeon droppings, and have more than once had to hold my breath to avoid the stench. Often, urban pigeons also look very dirty. because their feathers are coated with particulate matter from the city’s polluted air
6) Despite their negative characteristics, though. I respect pigeons because they are useful to people in several ways. They have served as a cheap form of protein and have also been successfully trained to carry important messages. Furthermore, they are a form of entertainment for young children at the park who love watching them walk around with their characteristic head bobbing. Pigeons also help clean up dropped food that would otherwise go to waste. If only they didn’t also leave their own waste everywhere as a result.

11-النمل

1) Like all insects, ants have six legs. Each leg has three joints. The legs of the ant arc very strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. An ant brain has about 250.000 brain cells. A human brain has 10 billion brain cells, so a colony of 40.000 ants has collectively the same number of brain cells as one human brain.
2) The average life expectancy of an ant is 45-60 days. Ants use their antennae not only for touch, but also for smell the head of the ant has a pair of large, strong jaws. The jaws open and shut sideways like a pair of scissors. Even adult ants cannot chew and swallow solid food. Instead, they swallow the juice which they squeeze from pieces of food and throw away the dry part that is left.
3) The ant has two eyes, each of which is made of many smaller eyes, so they are called compound eyes. The abdomen of the ant contains two stomachs. One stomach holds the food for itself and the second stomach is for food to be shared with other ants. Like all insects the outside of their body is covered with a hard armor called the exoskeleton . Ants have four distinct growing stages, the egg. larva, pupa and the adult are classified as a special group of wasps.
4) There are over 10.000 known species of ants. They all live in social groups usually called colonies. A colony has one or more queens. The sole duty of a queen is to lay eggs. The worker ants, all of whom are female, cannot produce eggs; they take care of the queen and the eggs she produces. Since the worker ants are sterile, their roles within the colony might be looking after the young, providing food, or defending the nest from unwanted visitors. Ants are clean and tidy insects, so some worker ants are given the job of taking the rubbish from the nest and putting it outside in a special rubbish dump. Each colony of ants has its own smell. In this way, intruders can be recognized immediately. Many ants, such as the red species, have stingers which they use to defend their nest. However, some ants – like black ants and wood ants – have no stingers, but can squirt acid to defend themselves and the colony.
5) Ants are interesting creatures. They have very tiny bodies but live in a complex social community. They are not simply pests, as many people think; in point of fact, they represent a positive example of how planning and teamwork should work in our societies.
