Tattoo is a body design art. Different figures and colors are shaped and tattoo is formed on the skin. It is an old way of marking body. The first tattoo is thought to be done in 2 BC. Ancient Egyptian people made tattoo to the mummies.</p>
<p><strong>Applying Process of Tattoo</strong><br />
Tattoo is made with different methods. To apply ink to the skin, sharp bone, horn or needle were used. With these materials points were formed on the skin and ink was injected through these points. This was the basic method of applying tattoo. However, tattoo methods showed improvement. Nowadays, modern ways are used for tattoo. There are tattoo machines. This method gives less pain compared with the first applying methods. The machine applies the figure with needles on the skin. The ink is injected through needles. The skin is colorful. It is easy and it gives less pain.</p>

<p><strong>Tips for Tattoo</strong><br />

Then be careful about the originality of tattoo machine, needles and tattoo dyes. Some people use other materials than tattoo machines.

<p>When is it called obesity? Are you obesity or are you overweight? Keep that in mind obesity occurs when your body can not consume the energy that you take from foods. If a great amount of energy accumulates in the body, problems begin. It is related with metabolism and physical activities.</p>

<p><strong>Causes of Obesity</strong><br />
Excessive calorie consumption and not consuming these calories are said to be the major reason of obesity. Diet is an important factor. Human being needs energy to live. However, if s/he takes more than s/he needs and does not spend it, the energy accumulates and problems begin. There are three main food sources. These are protein, carbohydrate and fat. If you take more from these sources, they are conserved in the body. The fat is accumulated more and it leads to obesity.</p>
<p>The energy is spent via metabolic activities and physical activities. Metabolic activities are the ones that our body does without any effort. For instance, our heart beats, digestion system works, all these are metabolic activities. Physical activities are different from metabolic ones. Physical activities are the ones that we do through all the day. Walking, running, sitting, biking, all of them are classified as physical activities. All these ones make our body spend energy. If you do not move much, you do not spend much energy. How much metabolic and physical activity there is, more energy is spent. If there is imbalance between your energy income and the one you spent, obesity shows itself.</p>
<p>Genetics is another cause of obesity. If your family experience obesity problem, you are bound to experience it, too. In addition to this, environmental factors also cause obesity. Social circumstances, life style, eating habits and personal habits cause obesity problem.<br />

<p><strong>Treatment Ways of Obesity</strong><br />
There are four main obesity treatment ways. These are surgical treatment, diet, medicine treatment and exercise. According to the severeness of the problem, treatment way changes.

With surgical way, a long lasting solution of obesity is provided. You can lose %50-80 of total weight after surgical treatment. However it is a very serious operation and it is not suitable for everyone.</p>
<p>Medicine treatment is a common obesity treatment way. There are many medicine types claiming to make you lose weight. But these generally have side effects. So the medicine should be taken under the control of a doctor. Balanced diet and regular exercise should be a part of our daily lives. These are obesity treatment ways. For diet treatment way, the total calorie intake and the calorie you take are calculated. Generally a diet list consisting healthy food is given to the patient. If the patient leads the diet and suggestions of the doctor, obesity problem can be solved. Exercise is a way of life. It helps you to spend calorie and it is one of the way preventing obesity.</p>

In fact, all the people would probably experience many different types of stress throughout the life. The events that cause stress are called stressors.</p>
<p> Stress can affect the person’s both body and mind and the effects of the stress are different for different people. It is important to know what the main sources of the stress are in your daily life and then you should learn how to manage stress. So you can keep stress under control. There are six main types of stress that are experienced by people.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span id="more-373"></span><script type="text/javascript"><!--

</script></p>
<p>Here are some common types of stress.</p>
<p><strong>Hypo-stress<br />
</strong>This type of stress is experienced by people who are bored. Sufferers of hypo-stress generally work in an unchallenging job and perform the same task everyday. So they feel constantly unmotivated and unhappy. This condition decreases the productivity of the people after a while they begin to gain weight. It causes lack of motivation and feelings of loneliness. If it is not diagnosed, it can lead to turn depression or other physical illnesses in a short time.</p>
<p><strong>Hyper-stress<br />
</strong>It is the opposite of hypo stress and a type of negative stress. Overloaded or overwork cause this type of stress. If a person is working beyond your limit, she/he can experience hyper-stress. So employees should take some precautions to reduce hyper-stress in working environment.</p>
<p><strong>Distress</strong><br />
It is the negative type of stress. It results from some events such as death of a loved one, family problems, chronic illnesses, heavy work responsibility, financial problems. If it is not treated early enough, it can lead to chronic stress. The symptoms of this type of stress are high blood pressure, loss interest in their appearance, eating disorders, serious heart problems and the like.<br />

<script type="text/javascript"

</script></p>
<p><strong>Eustress (Good Stress)</strong><br />
Eustress is the positive type of stress that increases creativity, physical performance, enthusiasm and energy. Some events and experiences motivate people and increase their productivity. We can say that it is a healthy type of stress and the opposite of distress. For instance when an athlete is just about to run, this type of stress occurs.</p>
<p><strong>Acute Stress</strong><br />
It is one of the intense types of stress. Acute stress is a reaction of the body to threat and this reaction is a sudden response to the threat. This condition changes hormone levels. After the acute threat has passed, the hormone levels turn to the normal level. Stressors are short term.<br />
Some common stressors include: Danger, noise, infection and the like.</p>
<p><strong>Chronic Stress</strong><br />
This is the worst type of stress that a person experience and so difficult to treat. It increases blood pressure and heart rate. Family problems, marriage difficulties, job stress, loneliness can cause chronic stress. If stressors affect the person for a long time, stress becomes chronic and if this type of stress is not treated, it can cause serious complications.</p>
<p><strong>Other Types of Stress:</strong><br />
- Teen Stress<br />
- Work stress<br />
- Oxidative Stress<br />
- Job Stress<br />
- Post Traumatic Stress<br />
- Emotional Stress<br />
