In addition to other diets, there are other ways to get rid of excess fat, such as cooling and hot yoga, but it is still controversial among doctors and nutritionists. German professor Sebastian Schmid said that some fitness centers promote the concept of weight loss by cooling. One enters a room that is less than freezing to remove excess fat due to the effect of extreme cold. "Hot yoga is the opposite concept of cooling," he said. Yoga is practiced in a room with a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius with a 40 percent moisture content to remove excess fat from heat. The effects of these concepts have not yet been scientifically proven, so be careful of them and consult your doctor before exercising, especially for people with cardiovascular disease, skin diseases, open wounds, and mental illnesses such as indoor phobia. For her part, warned German nutritionist Antje Gal of the so-called diet Crash Diet, which is the loss of many kilograms within a short period of time, for fear of the impact of the «Uio», as the body weight increases again after reference to the old eating habits . The best way to lose weight in a healthy way is to adjust the diet in the long term, that is, to increase the amount of vegetables and fruits, to reduce sweets, white flour products, fast food and ready foods, as well as exercise and motor activities for 30 to 60 minutes a day.

"The US and allied forces have nothing to do with what was seen as leaflets circulating on news sites and it was said that the international coalition was in Anbar to help capture al-Baghdadi," CNN quoted a coalition official as saying. In turn, Iraqi field leaders denied responsibility for the publications that were said to have been thrown in Anbar. According to a senior military source, "the security forces did not record any information about the actual delivery in the province." The sources said that "the figures received and asked to communicate with them to report information about Baghdadi proved to be the first in the Republic of Ghana in Africa, which starts with the key to +233, while the second, which begins with the key +229 in the Republic of Benin, Africa also and the two countries do not cooperate with International Alliance ". The Arab and local media have circulated information confirming that the aircraft of the International Coalition, dropped leaflets on the city of Ramadi, Iraq, in which it called to report on Baghdadi, in exchange for a reward of up to 25 million dollars. It added that the message dropped by the aircraft drew the attention of the people of the city of Ramadi that the only way to retaliate against Baghdadi and what caused him, is the information that can be provided to reach him by communication or send a message on the two numbers contained in the letter. "A commander and his fighters stole your land and killed your family, and now he is hiding safely away from the death and destruction he planted, and with your information you can avenge him and his destruction," the publications said. *************** ARTICLE 5-B Deputy: Two letters behind US publications on al-Baghdadi in Anbar 12:24 - 04/04/2019 Information / Baghdad ..

"No one doubts that al-Qaeda and the US intelligence industry are very active and that their leaders, from Bin Laden and Zarqawi to Baghdadi, are the only ones to play the CIA as they wish and in any part of the Middle East," al-Baladawi said in a statement. "What the US military has recently been distributing leaflets in Anbar is a great financial reward for those who provide information about the presence of al-Baghdadi in the Anbar desert," he said. Al-Baldawi said that "distributing these leaflets is the first way to send a message to the citizens of the liberated governorates of Mosul, Salah al-Din and Anbar that a threatening threat still threatens you, but we are there and we are protecting you and our exit will bring back injustice to you again. The second is to send a message to the Iraqi government that they are still supportive of you. Our presence is necessary to provide support because Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi exists and leads thousands of people in the desert as well as their appearance before the world that the United States of America is against terrorism.
