Diabetes is on the rise. Today, about 16 million people have the disease. But just 10 years ago, approximately 11 million people had it. Why is diabetes a growing problem? Among the reasons: People who weigh too much and do not get enough exercise have a higher risk for type 2 diabetes. And now there are more overweight people. In the past 10 years, the number of obese people has
jumped more than 50%. About a third of those with diabetes don’t know they have it. That is a troubling fact. Why? All people with diabetes have a higher risk for heart disease. A man’s risk is doubled. And for women with diabetes, it is worse. They are four times more likely to have heart disease. People with diabetes tend to be overweight. They often have high blood pressure
and high cholesterol.
WATCH OUT FOR THESE SYMPTOMS
If you have any of the warning signs of diabetes listed below, see your doctor as soon as possible. Remember: You can have diabetes without symptoms, too.
Keeping tabs on all risk factors for heart disease is important. With their doctor’s help, people with diabetes should set goals for controlling blood sugar. They also need goals for managing other risk factors for heart disease. Meeting those goals
will help protect their hearts and their health.

Diabetul este în crestere. În ziua de azi, peste 16 milioane de oameni sufera de aceasta boală. Însă, doar cu 10 ani în urma, aproximativ 11 milioane de oameni au fost afectati de diabet. De ce este diabetul o problema în creştere? Printre motive: persoanele supraponderale şi care nu fac suficientă mişcare au un grad de risc mai ridicat pentru diabetul de tip 2. În ziua de azi, numărul de persoane supraponderale este mai mare. În ultimii 10 ani, numărul persoanelor care suferă de obezitate a crescut vertiginos cu mai mult de 50%. O treime dintre cei care sufera de diabet nu sunt în cunoştinţă de cauză. Aceasta este o problema îngrijorătoare. De ce? Toate persoanele cu diabet au un grad de risc mai ridicat de a contacta boli de inimă. Riscul în cazul bărbaţilor este dublu. Pentru femeile cu diabet situaţia este mai gravă. Ele sunt de patru ori mai susceptibile să sufere de boli cardiace. Persoanele cu diabet au tendinţa să fie supraponderale. De cele mai multe ori au tensiunea şi colesterolul ridicate.
FIŢI ATENŢI LA URMĂTOARELE SIMPTOME
Daca aveţi vreun indiciu citat mai jos, mergeţi la o vizita medicala cât mai repede posibil. Nu uitaţi: puteţi sa aveţi diabet şi fără simptome.
Este important să acordaţi atenţie la toţi factorii de risc ai bolilor de inimă. Împreună cu medicul, persoanele cu diabet trebuie să îşi propună nişte obiective pentru a putea controla gradul de glicemie. De asemenea, au nevoie de obiective pentru a ţine sub control alţi factori de risc pentru bolile cardiace. Atingerea acestor scopuri îi va ajuta să îşi protejeze inima şi sănătatea.

Iubirea e o apă ce curge dintr-un ocean nevăzut, iar robineţii sunt la noi, în piept. Cum ? Nu aţi văzut că aveţi la voi un robinet pentru a da iubire? Păi… la ce credeaţi că foloseşte buricul? Singuri putem să ne deschidem porţile pentru a oferi si primi iubire aşa cum intră şi iese aerul. Iar Iubirea e chiar cadoul pe care îl primesc cei ce iubesc!
Câte feluri de iubiri există ?
Priveşte-ţi mâna: are 5 degete. Şi iubirea este de 5 feluri: degetul mare este îndreptat spre noi, e iubirea pe care ne-o purtăm noua înşine. Arătătorul este îndreptat în sus dar aproape de noi: e iubirea faţă de părinţi. Mijlociul este drept în sus, ca să nu-l uităm pe Dumnezeu. Inelarul e iubirea romantica, pentru perechea ta. Iar degetul mic e iubirea pentru prietenii din viaţa noastră. Priveste-ţi mâna: vezi ce de iubiri porţi în tine?

Si acum salutul de noapte bună (de mână):

Noapte bună norilor, noapte bună cerule, noapte bună Lună,
În privire să ne ai, vise bune să ne dai, şi mâine în cana cu lapte un pai!
Translation - English
Love is a river that flows from an unseen ocean, but the faucets are in us, in our chest. What? You did not see that you have within you a faucet to give love? Well…what do you think the bellybutton is for? We alone can open the gates to offer and receive love as the air comes in and out. Love is the gift received by the ones who love!
How many types of love are there?
Look at your hand: it has 5 fingers. There are five kinds of love: the thumb points toward us, it is the love we have for ourselves. The forefinger points upward but close to us: it is the love for our parents. The middle finger points upward so we don’t forget about God. The ring finger is the romantic love for your mate, and the pinky is the love for the friends in our life. Look at your hand: see how many types of love you carry in yourself?
And now the goodnight wish (holding hands):
Good Night Clouds,
Good Night Sky,
Good Night Moon,
Keep us in your sight,
Sweet dreams give us tonight,
And tomorrow a straw in our milk cup we’ll find!

Bio

I am an experienced translator and interpreter, with an insight into the fields in which I received formal training. I strive for quality in my work.

My translation experience ranges from chemistry articles, financial, business and management documents, public relations videos (subtitling), wellness product guides and labels, official documents, Christian books and articles, children’s books, booklets to materials in other disciplines.

I am a native Romanian speaker, married to a native English speaker.

Regarding my education, I studied Chemistry in a Romanian University and business at Metro State University, MN, USA. I attended cross-cultural module courses in USA and UK. I have an English Proficiency Certificate from the Faculty of Letters, Cluj, Romania. While living in Bolivia I learned Spanish through a training course from English to Spanish.

If you consider my experience valuable to you, please contact me. I look forward to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Alina Weidell
