Going back to work after holidays is very stressful for many people. And there are those who were on duty and did not rest at all. Or they have not taken a vacation yet. Vacation at our resort in February is quite attractive – for many reasons. The cleanest air of Borovoe, walks in a pine forest and medical procedures…

Peace and quiet

Winter vacation is all about peaceful surroundings. Many people prefer to flee from the cold of winter season to the countries with hot climate. What a pity! In winter the resorts are not as crowded as in summer. Besides, during warmer months there are more children having treatment – they are on a school break. In winter, children study, and this means that adults can relax without noise and commotion.

Enjoying nature

We do not criticize those who choose to go to hot countries in winter. But we believe that they lose a lot. In Burabay, winters are so beautiful! Lakes and mountains take on a gorgeous view. Familiar shapes of rocks and stones become transformed. It is the time for terrenkur walks, and the local landscape is great for active sports. You will never see anything like this in the city!

Fighting winter blues

Staying in the city in winter often makes us grumpy: we get sick and tired of the darkness during the day, of the cold and lack of sunlight. Many people develop a so-called winter depression. The Russian salad and holidays aren’t helpful either. Going to the resort is a way to defeat the blues and return to cold work days completely recharged.

Recreation without skiing or snow tubing? Not in “Okzhetpes” health and wellness complex! Here you can do it all.

Severe frost of winter without sickness

Vacation at the resort keeps people in a good mood and they stop fearing drafts, colds and viruses. Take a course of treatment, strengthen your body and you can forget about common colds and flu.

Sitting at a desk for eight hours is what millions of us do every day.

Despite inevitability of such a lifestyle, within 5-9 years it will backfire causing serious, and, sometimes, irreversible health problems.

Therefore, today I will tell you how to minimize health risks if you have a sedentary job.

• Avoid eating sweets. Confectionery consumption increases the risk of obesity and causes dental problems. The best thing to do is to bring slices of apples and carrots to work – it is a healthy snack that contains natural sugars.
• Bring your own food to work. Home-cooked food will help you to control the portion sizes and the amount of calories you consume. Not only will it save your money, but also provide your body with all the necessary nutrients.
• Remember about vitamin D. 10-15 minutes spent in the sun during the day is a great way to replenish vitamin D deficiency in your body, which directly affects your mood. But, if outside there is everything but the sun every day, start adding fatty fish to your diet.
• Drink more water. I will never get tired of repeating it: water is important not only for excellent metabolic function, but for brain function too. Dehydration can cause headaches and fatigue, so it is better if you stay hydrated.
• Add a few more steps. Do you use public transport to get to work? If it’s warm outside, you can get off one stop early. This way you can breathe some fresh air, get over sleepiness and throughout the day you will feel cheerful and even inspired!
• Avoid stress-caused overeating. Going out for dinner after a stressful meeting is not the best idea. A glass of cold water taken in small sips helps to relieve stress almost immediately.
• Unleash your emotions. Do you use headphones at work and sometimes you can’t help stomping your foot or moving your head to the beat of the music? Do not restrain yourself! It will help you to burn a few calories, and who would give up such an opportunity?

With care for your health,

Drink one glass of freshly squeezed apple or grape juice with 1 teaspoon of White or May honey every day. Drink juices only after breakfast!

Prepare a calming cocktail for a good night sleep: pour 1 glass of milk over 1 tbsp. of chopped chamomile flowers and bring it to a boil. Let it chill, strain it and add 1.5 teaspoon of honey to the cup.

Grind ½ cup of shelled pumpkin seeds, add 2 tbsp. of cognac, ½ minced lemon with the skin. Pour natural liquid honey over the mixture and stir it well. Store the mixture in a glass container in a cool place. Take 1 tbsp. in the morning on an empty stomach for one month. This recipe is recommended for boosting potency.

Many people wonder: the new Coronavirus – what is it? Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common both in animals and humans. The 2019 Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is the virus that causes the outbreak of the respiratory disease, and it was first discovered in Wuhan, China.

According to some reports, in the early stages of virus spreading, some people connected to the outbreak in Wuhan, China, visited a large seafood and animal market, which suggests that the virus spreads from person to person. The Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization are working to prevent occurrence and spread of this virus in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Symptoms and signs of the disease:

• fever;
• vomiting;
• diarrhea;
• cough;
• pneumonia;
• dyspnea.

In case of progression, the patient may develop very serious complications that can lead to death:

• pulmonary failure,
• renal failure.

How does Coronavirus get transmitted from person to person?

2019-nCoV is thought to be transmitted the same way as previous Coronaviruses and influenza:

• through a direct contact with a sick person;
• during sneezing or coughing;
• through a contact with personal items and food utensils of a sick person.

Is there a treatment for 2019-nCoV?

To date, there is no specific treatment. In the countries where Coronavirus cases have been reported, only symptomatic treatment is provided. The vaccine has not yet been found.

How can you protect yourself from new Coronavirus 2019-NCOV?

• Avoid contact with sick people and their personal things as much as possible. If close contact is inevitable, wear a mask.
• Maintain proper hand hygiene. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water and use hand sanitizers (antiseptics), especially after coughing, sneezing, or using a bathroom, before handling or preparing food, and after contact with sick people or their personal belongings.
• During coughing or sneezing, use paper napkins to cover your mouth and nose, and then dispose of them and wash your hands thoroughly. If you don’t have napkins, avoid touching or using the palm of your hand: use your elbow to cover your nose and mouth while sneezing.
• Wear a mask in crowded places.
• Stick to good personal hygiene habits in general.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and face as much as possible.

Despite the fact that people have been using the beneficial properties of radon water for a very long time, it was only in the middle of the last century that they learned to enrich water and other therapeutic environments with radon. And at the same time they began to study the effect of radon on the human body.

Radon affects human body in various ways and benefits almost every cell and organ. Radon water can be used in treatment of many diseases. The main beneficial properties of radon water are the following:

• calming;
• pain relief;
• normalization of blood pressure;
• activation of metabolism;
• restoration of muscles, nerve and bone tissues;
• stress relief;
• sleep improvement;
• pronounced analgesic effect;
• treatment of allergic reactions and certain skin diseases;
• speeds up progression of anti-inflammatory processes;
• accelerates regeneration of nerve fibers.

Radon baths are very popular among the guests of our resort. In 2017, after a lot of researches, a pump room with radon drinking water was opened. Today, it is the only certified source of radon drinking water in Shchuchinsko-Burabay resort area.

To achieve various therapeutic effects, the water is heated to different temperatures. They distinguish the following regimes:

1. Cold mineral water – the temperature up to 18⁰С
2. Warm mineral water – the temperature between 18⁰С and 35⁰С
3. Hot mineral water – the temperature above 35⁰С

Apart from quality composition, it is very important to adhere to proper eating habits which are, basically, driven by hunger, but sometimes a person tends to overeat. It has become a real curse for the modern society. But today people get to learn the importance of a balanced diet: aside from being guided by appetite, we also need to follow some rules:

It is necessary to be consistent when it comes to eating habits: eat at the same time every day. If you do so, the body produces a conditioned reflex and by the time you are ready to eat, saliva and gastric acid are produced, which ensures better food digestion;

Splitting meals. Scientists have proven that having just two meals a day is dangerous for health. It is best to eat 3-4 times a day, but in smaller portions. Sometimes it’s useful to add a few more meals without increasing the total daily intake of food; breakfast, lunch, and dinner should be balanced in terms of their nutritional value. It is critical that for every meal you select the products that provide the body with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins in a balanced proportion;

It is necessary to choose the right time for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and distribute the amount of food properly. They recommend waiting 4 to 6 hours between main meals, and have dinner at least 2 to 3 hours before going to bed. The largest amount of food should be eaten at lunch time; the second big meal is breakfast, while dinner should be the lightest meal of the day.

We hope that our tips will help you to eat right!

Everyone knows that food is indispensable to sustain life and health.

What are the functions of food?

It provides human body with energy and, therefore, the principles of balanced nutrition should be based on person’s energy expenditure. The consumed food is supposed to restore the energy, pure and simple. Otherwise the excess will be deposited in the body in the form of fat.

With food, our body receives substances that it later uses to build cells. The most essential ones are the proteins. And then there are minerals, fats and carbohydrates that are important too.

Another nutritional function of food is to supply the body with vitamins that are essential for production of certain enzymes and hormones.

The scientists also came to the conclusion that the immune system depends on nutrition as well. What a person eats, directly affects the body’s defenses and its ability to fight illnesses.

The principles of balanced nutrition must also include knowledge about the quality of food composition. To ensure life-sustaining activity, it is necessary that all the nutrients enter the body in certain proportions. On average, for a healthy person engaged in mental work, the following ratio is recommended: one part proteins, one part fats and four parts of carbohydrates. It is also recommended that a person takes vitamins and minerals with food.

The main purpose of food is to promote growth and proper development of a person, improve health and contribute to prevention of diseases. It should match our energy expenditure and have gender- and age-specific nutrient content. That’s the basics of a balanced nutrition. Every person – if he wants to enjoy his health – should adhere to such nutrition!
