Saber o destino
(Ramires Linhares)


        Um dia, Albert Einstein estava viajando de trem após sair da Universidade de Princeton, e o cobrador entrou no vagão para conferir as passagens. O jovem reconheceu imediatamente o famoso cientista, que começou a procurar o bilhete nos bolsos do paletó, da calça, na pequena mala, mas não encontrava.

        Percebendo a situação, o cobrador disse com tranquilidade:

      - Dr. Einstein, sei quem o senhor é. Todos aqui sabem. Tenho certeza de que o senhor comprou a passagem. Não se preocupe.

       Einstein agradeceu com um sorriso. O cobrador seguiu adiante, mas antes de sair do vagão, olhou para trás e viu Einstein ajoelhado, procurando o bilhete debaixo do assento.

         Intrigado, voltou e insistiu:

     - Como eu disse, não há problema algum. Sabemos quem o senhor é, fique tranquilo.

        Foi então que Einstein respondeu, com toda a sua genial simplicidade:

       - Meu jovem, eu também sei quem eu sou. O que eu não sei é para onde estou indo. Por isso preciso encontrar o meu bilhete.

       Não há comprovação de que tal história tenha realmente acontecido, no entanto há uma importante mensagem nela contida: identidade não substitui direção.

      Saber quem você é, seu nome, sua história, suas conquistas, nada disso garante que você vá ao lugar certo. Reconhecimento, inteligência, status ou talento não dizem nada sobre o rumo da sua vida se você não tiver clareza de propósito.

        Assim a historinha da viagem de Einstein ensina que não basta ser alguém importante; é preciso saber para onde se vai. Que a confiança dos outros em você não elimina a necessidade de autoconhecimento e escolha consciente. E que até os mais brilhantes precisam parar, se ajoelhar e conferir o próprio “bilhete”, que pode ser entendido como os seus valores, metas e decisões.

       Acho que, neste contexto, o verdadeiro risco não era nem o homem ter perdido o bilhete, era ter seguido uma viagem sem saber o destino.

Here’s One More Reason to Try to Exercise 


   Next time you’re feeling the burn during a workout, it might give you a boost to know that exercise can also be a balm: Research suggests it is one of the best tools for fighting chronic inflammation.

   Inflammation has emerged as a looming health concern in recent years — experts say it can be both a cause and a sign of disease. And while there’s still a lot we don’t know about its significance, most experts agree that the less chronically inflamed we are, the healthier we are.

  The scientific evidence is also clear that people who are sedentary tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared to people who exercise regularly. And when sedentary people start moving consistently, their inflammation levels generally decline. Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so effective at protecting us against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia and other chronic diseases.

   The growing understanding that exercise and inflammation are linked has been relatively recent, and this has spurred a boom of research into the connection, said Dr. Robert Shmerling, a rheumatologist and a medical editor at Harvard Health Publishing. Here’s what we know — and what it means for you.

   While inflammation may seem like a menace, it serves a vital function in keeping you healthy. For example, after a paper cut or an ankle sprain, immune cells flood the area, which causes the surrounding tissue to swell and turn red — this kind of acute inflammation usually resolves in a few days. A similar process happens when you get an infection, like a cold or the flu.

  But chronic inflammation is a low-grade condition that can simmer for years. It can begin with an infection or injury, but then morph into a lingering state, in which the immune system starts attacking healthy tissue, Dr. Shmerling said. Chronic inflammation can also be linked to diet, stress, smoking, obesity, sleep quality and your level of physical activity. And it increases as you age (a process that researchers call “inflammaging”). 

   Experts suspect this prolonged immune response may put you at greater risk for disease, and in some cases, make you feel fatigued, depressed or foggy. A doctor can usually detect chronic inflammation through blood tests that measure specific chemicals, or biomarkers, released by your immune system.

   Research suggests that consistent, moderate exercise can fight inflammation by tamping down on the release of inflammatory chemicals, and ramping up the release of chemicals that fight it. Exercise can also lower inflammation indirectly, for example, by improving sleep quality and lowering stress.

   For people who are sedentary, exercise is especially effective at counteracting inflammation, experts said. Certain kinds of fat cells have been shown to release chemicals into the blood that cause low-grade inflammation. When someone who has been sedentary starts working out consistently, not only does their fat tissue often shrink, but studies also suggest that the physical activity might alter their fat cells so they produce fewer inflammatory substances, Dr. Shmerling said.

   Regardless, there’s no downside to someone taking up exercise, Dr. Shmerling added. “They may get healthier in a hurry, and it might have nothing to do with inflammation,” he said. “The outcome is still a positive one.”

   While research hasn’t yet given us a prescription for exactly what kind and how much exercise is most effective for fighting inflammation, experts share tips for making the most of exercise’s potential impact on it.

  Most moderate-intensity exercise seems to reduce inflammation in the short term, and the more consistently you work out, the more you keep chronic inflammation at bay, said Suzi Hong, a professor at the University of California San Diego’s School of Public Health. Dr. Hong and her team found that a single, moderate, 20-minute treadmill workout, such as a brisk walk or jog, sparked a temporary anti-inflammatory response. If you’re breathing harder than usual to keep up the pace, and you feel like you’re putting in moderate effort, she said, you’re probably fighting inflammation. For lasting benefits, though, you have to make it a habit.

  For starters, resistance training helps to reduce inflammation-causing fat cells, particularly when combined with regular aerobic exercise. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less inflammation, so strength training may be especially important for them to remain mobile and independent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that adults make time for at least two strength-training sessions per week.

   Chronic stress is another contributor to inflammation, so finding a workout you enjoy may offer greater anti-inflammatory benefits by helping to relieve stress. If you’re looking for a place to start, a large body of research suggests that yoga can help to calm the nervous system, lower inflammatory markers and lessen symptoms of diseases associated with chronic inflammation. Avoid overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken your immune system.

   As with many other aspects of health, moderation and consistency are keys to getting and staying fit — and to fighting inflammation for the long haul.

   While inflammation may seem like a menace, it serves a vital function in keeping you healthy. For example, after a paper cut or an ankle sprain, immune cells flood the area, which causes the surrounding tissue to swell and turn red — this kind of acute inflammation usually resolves in a few days. A similar process happens when you get an infection, like a cold or the flu.

  But chronic inflammation is a low-grade condition that can simmer for years. It can begin with an infection or injury, but then morph into a lingering state, in which the immune system starts attacking healthy tissue, Dr. Shmerling said. Chronic inflammation can also be linked to diet, stress, smoking, obesity, sleep quality and your level of physical activity. And it increases as you age (a process that researchers call “inflammaging”). 

   Experts suspect this prolonged immune response may put you at greater risk for disease, and in some cases, make you feel fatigued, depressed or foggy. A doctor can usually detect chronic inflammation through blood tests that measure specific chemicals, or biomarkers, released by your immune system.

   Research suggests that consistent, moderate exercise can fight inflammation by tamping down on the release of inflammatory chemicals, and ramping up the release of chemicals that fight it. Exercise can also lower inflammation indirectly, for example, by improving sleep quality and lowering stress.

   For people who are sedentary, exercise is especially effective at counteracting inflammation, experts said. Certain kinds of fat cells have been shown to release chemicals into the blood that cause low-grade inflammation. When someone who has been sedentary starts working out consistently, not only does their fat tissue often shrink, but studies also suggest that the physical activity might alter their fat cells so they produce fewer inflammatory substances, Dr. Shmerling said.

   Regardless, there’s no downside to someone taking up exercise, Dr. Shmerling added. “They may get healthier in a hurry, and it might have nothing to do with inflammation,” he said. “The outcome is still a positive one.”

   While research hasn’t yet given us a prescription for exactly what kind and how much exercise is most effective for fighting inflammation, experts share tips for making the most of exercise’s potential impact on it.

  Most moderate-intensity exercise seems to reduce inflammation in the short term, and the more consistently you work out, the more you keep chronic inflammation at bay, said Suzi Hong, a professor at the University of California San Diego’s School of Public Health. Dr. Hong and her team found that a single, moderate, 20-minute treadmill workout, such as a brisk walk or jog, sparked a temporary anti-inflammatory response. If you’re breathing harder than usual to keep up the pace, and you feel like you’re putting in moderate effort, she said, you’re probably fighting inflammation. For lasting benefits, though, you have to make it a habit.

  For starters, resistance training helps to reduce inflammation-causing fat cells, particularly when combined with regular aerobic exercise. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less inflammation, so strength training may be especially important for them to remain mobile and independent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that adults make time for at least two strength-training sessions per week.

   Chronic stress is another contributor to inflammation, so finding a workout you enjoy may offer greater anti-inflammatory benefits by helping to relieve stress. If you’re looking for a place to start, a large body of research suggests that yoga can help to calm the nervous system, lower inflammatory markers and lessen symptoms of diseases associated with chronic inflammation. Avoid overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken your immune system.

   As with many other aspects of health, moderation and consistency are keys to getting and staying fit — and to fighting inflammation for the long haul.

Here’s One More Reason to Try to Exercise 


   Next time you’re feeling the burn during a workout, it might give you a boost to know that exercise can also be a balm: Research suggests it is one of the best tools for fighting chronic inflammation.

   Inflammation has emerged as a looming health concern in recent years — experts say it can be both a cause and a sign of disease. And while there’s still a lot we don’t know about its significance, most experts agree that the less chronically inflamed we are, the healthier we are.

  The scientific evidence is also clear that people who are sedentary tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared to people who exercise regularly. And when sedentary people start moving consistently, their inflammation levels generally decline. Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so effective at protecting us against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia and other chronic diseases.

“Moradores de Juazeiro do Norte, no interior do Ceará, sofrem com transtornos das fortes chuvas ocorridas durante a madrugada desta terça-feira (21/1). Conforme a Fundação Cearense de Meteorologia e Recursos Hídricos (Funceme), houve chuva de 120 milímetros no município. No bairro Lagoa Seca, um dos mais afetados, a água subiu mais de um metro de altura, deixando carros submersos. A lagoa da região transbordou, alagando dezenas de casas e estabelecimentos comerciais da região. O trânsito foi interditado. População disse que, toda vez que chove, a lagoa transborda e invade a Avenida Plácido Aderaldo Castelo. Na Avenida Padre Cícero, em poucos minutos de chuva, a água transformou a via em um rio. Alguns carros apresentaram problemas mecânicos e, para seguir caminho, alguns motociclistas utilizam a ciclovia.

         A região da Capadócia, localizada no centro da Turquia, apresenta formações geológicas singulares originadas milhões de anos, através de atividade vulcânica e processos erosivos. Ao observar os vales e as “chaminés de fada”, os geólogos podem identificar depósitos de cinzas vulcânicas.
 
      Estudos científicos registram alterações na cobertura do solo, na vegetação e nos processos erosivos, atribuindo-lhes relevância para compreender os impactos ambientais. Esses registros permitem avaliar a resiliência do ecossistema; ao que tudo indica, havia adaptações naturais que possibilitavam à flora e fauna manterem-se em equilíbrio nas regiões de solo vulcânico e clima semiárido, demonstrando a capacidade de sobrevivência do ambiente frente a perturbações externas.

      Além disso, a análise da morfologia do terreno e da distribuição das formações rochosas permite observar padrões de erosão e sedimentação, o que contribui para estudos topográficos e geológicos detalhados. A Capadócia, assim, representa um modelo de estudo integrativo, no qual geologia, ecologia e processos naturais se entrelaçam, oferecendo informações valiosas para pesquisas científicas e à preservação da região.
