Karma is the Sanskrit word for "action" or "doing something." It comes from an earlier Indo-European word meaning "to make" or "to do". The idea of karma in the Indian religion of Hinduism was that whenever you did anything, it affected your future life, and especially your reincarnation.According to Hindu ideas of karma, if you did something good, especially something for other people, you got good karma and this would help you in the future. For instance, if you helped a friend to understand the assignment, you would pile up some good karma that might make sure the teacher asked you only questions to which you knew the answers. On the other hand, if you did something bad, like killing a spider, you would get bad karma, and maybe when you fell down you would scrape your knee. Americans sometimes say, "What goes around comes around."In Hinduism, people saw your karma as something given to you by the gods, who decided everything that happened. In Buddhism, though, the gods were left out of it, and karma just happened naturally: good deeds lead to good results, just as apple seeds lead to apple trees. In fact, the whole idea of karma - that it matters whether you are good or bad - may not go back much before the beginnings of Buddhism, maybe about 500 BC. Karma may be an idea that came to India from other cultures, maybe from Chinese Taoists or Buddhists, who were beginning to visit India at this time as the Silk Road got started.

<h3><u>What is Diabetes?</u></h3>

Diabetes mellitus, also referred to as diabetes, is a collection of metabolic illnesses characterised by persistently elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased appetite are common symptoms. Diabetes can lead to a wide range of health issues if neglected. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and even mortality are examples of acute complications. Cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, eye damage, nerve damage, and cognitive impairment are examples of serious long-term consequences. Diabetes results from either insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or improper insulin utilisation by the body's cells. A hormone called insulin is in charge of facilitating the entry of food-derived glucose into cells for cellular energy utilisation.

34kurt

Answer and explanation:

The <u>six</u> fundamental movements of major body segments are:

Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Adduction
Rotation
Circumduction

<u>Example excersises for each body segments are</u>:

Flexion: Considering the muscles involving this movement (those being shoulder, elbows, hip, knee joints), an example for flexion would be knees to the chest or pelvic presses (bridges with a little weight).
Extension: Considering the muscles invoving this movement (that being the knee), an example for extension would be any kind of leg extension excercise (can be perfomed with a machine at a gym or a resistance band at home)
Abduction: Considering the muscles involving this movement (that being the arm and shoulder), an example for abduction movement would be lateral raises.
Adduction: Considering the muscles involving this movement (that being the leg and hip), an example for adduction movement would be isometric side planks.
Rotation: Considering the muscles involving this movement (that being upper arm area), an example for rotation movement would be arm circles.
Circumduction: Considering the muscles involving this movement (that being the shoulder and arm), an example for circumduction movement would be moving our arms to the front and then to the back like hammocking them.

Having a broad knowledge about these movements, the anatomy involved in each one of them and how to correctly execute some basic exercises, will help me as a personal trainer to be able to understand the needs of my future clients and prepare exercise routines according to their physical capacity and their goals.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

delusion

Explanation:

Helen is suffering from delusion:_

In mental health, and psychology a person can suffer where beliefs make someone worry about imaginary things that are illogical, absurd or simply lack evidence.

These delusions can cause paranoid and when the behaviour becomes frequent or impairing it can lead to psychotic disorder.

The classical example is when people can't tell what is real from what is only inside their heads.

A person often having delusions is most exemplified by schizophrenia, and in some instances, psychotic disorders appear for less than a month, and most people can recover or seek mental health professionals.

The criteria when doctors may consider a possible diagnosis for mental illness depends on the span of the delusions.

<em> A possible diagnosis of schizophrenia if Helen constantly feels that she is being prosecuted, or that people do things that go against her.</em>

She would most be adviced to seek help immediately at the nearest center of health.
