What does she have that I do not have? Why does she have it, but I do not? It is this question that awakens a very insidious and vicious feeling, which sometimes brings a lot of problems to those who are not haunted by similar thoughts. The moments that evoke the envy of competitors, the mass, but most of them relate to the appearance (we are talking about beauty and figure) and sex.
beauty
Men and women are beautiful when they like the opposite sex. Perceiving a woman / man as its possible partner, we never make a mistake as to what kind of half is needed.
If we talk about the standards of physical beauty in different cultures, history shows that the samples, the standards of beauty are very much changing in different countries and cultures. In addition to the obvious preference for people without a pronounced physical asymmetry of the body, and also "average" in appearance, there are other, changing cultural preferences.
In ancient Greece and Rome, the standards of male and female beauty were virtually indistinguishable from the standards of the early twentieth century, the age of development of the Olympic movement. In the Middle Ages, you can note the fashion for fullness (for example, in the paintings of Rubens), and on the potential fertility (pictures of Dutch masters, for example, ever-pregnant ladies).
By the middle of the twentieth century, the standards of beauty of the body looked quite healthy and proportionate. Currently, "high fashion" continues to advertise the standard of female beauty, as an extremely thin, very high figure.
In addition to physical beauty, a concept of moral, spiritual beauty was formed in human culture. This category is applicable to people, regardless of their age and gender, and determines the attitude towards the wisdom, honesty, poise, decency of man.
Excellent figure
For a long time it has been assumed that the presence of a good figure is not just a whim, but a necessity. Many philosophers of antiquity held this view of the figure. At that time, the presence of a beautiful figure was not an individual desire of man. A beautiful figure was simply necessary.
As for the modern world, we can say that now there is a certain fashion for a beautiful body, but the figure no longer plays such a role as in Aristotle's time. But interest in a good figure still does not disappear. How can this be explained?
Sigmund Freud said that a person all his life works for two things: food and sexual satisfaction. How does the figure relate to this? Yes the most direct! In order to have a good figure, it is necessary to eat properly and qualitatively, it is necessary to eat, for example, a sufficient amount of fruits, vegetables and other products, since only a varied diet can provide the body with the necessary amount of various nutrients, for example, vitamins.
When a shortage of any of the above substances are resorted to using various food additives. The most balanced in terms of the availability of various components is sports nutrition. It takes into account the presence of all the chemical compounds necessary for the proper development. Note that athletes can boast of their figure, and this is due not only to the fact that they are constantly training.
Sexual life
As for sexual gratification, it is foolish to deny the need for a beautiful figure to achieve this goal. An important role in assessing the sexuality of an unfamiliar person is played by a figure. For example, a girl in a young person when evaluating physical data (figure) attracts the presence of a classical male triangle, which is pronounced in broad-shouldered men with narrow buttocks. Pay attention to the figure of many models, but this is at the same time an extreme manifestation of concern for the figure. It should also be avoided, otherwise it will not lead to anything good.
You can often see beautiful bodies on TV. Especially in advertising and cinema. It is hard to imagine any action movie without the participation of the protagonist with a stunning figure.
As a rule, caring for his figure is more typical for girls, as for men, now it's not so easy to find a man with a good figure. It's hard to say whether it's good or not. For example, at the time of the above-mentioned Aristotle, it was difficult to find a man who did not care about his appearance, figure and other things. It is connected in the first place with the fact that the culture of that time was of a homosexual nature. Marriages between a man and a woman were of a formal nature and were necessary only for the continuation of the family. Times change! Nowadays, homosexuality has lost the relevance of Aristotle's time and the need for a beautiful figure in society (among men) has dropped dramatically. The relationship between a man and a woman is traditional, and here it should be noted that a woman in a man is attracted not only by a figure. This also reduces the need for a beautiful body.
At present, there are a lot of tips for improving the physique, there are tons of techniques that allow you to adjust the figure. These techniques are predominantly complex, i.e. are a "mixture" of various procedures, exercises and diets.
It is often enough to correct the figure to reduce weight. In 90% of cases, local fat deposits and excess weight are associated with a violation of carbohydrate metabolism. It is proved that the hormone released by the pancreas - insulin plays the main role in the process of deposition of subcutaneous fat. Eating leads to an increased release of insulin in response to the rapid intake of large amounts of glucose into the blood. Insulin promotes the synthesis of fats and blocks their cleavage in fat cells. Therefore in most cases it is impossible to lose weight without removing the insulin block. And only when the level of insulin decreases, the processes of fat splitting and the release of fatty acids from the cells start. Excess weight is indeed a serious problem, as it can be a prerequisite for various diseases. And the hanging sides seem to be somehow not very beautiful.
A fairly common phenomenon in recent times, is the general fascination with the population of such sports as bodybuilding. This English-speaking word is very easily adopted in the Russian language, if you try to translate it into ours, then it will sound like building a body (figure). Pretty positive for the development of the figure is affected by swimming, for this reason, we should not forget about the existence of swimming pools. Now there are all the necessary conditions for weight loss and other procedures that ultimately lead to the improvement of the figure, the main thing is that the desire to improve this figure does not disappear!
As you can see, everything is in our hands. And can improve each, so why envy, if you can act?
