What color does the thyroid gland like?
For the first half of my life, from the age of 5, I studied music professionally. My father is a member of the Association of Composers of the Czech Republic and the Russian Federation. I specialized more in individual vocals (I knew more than one opera aria by heart), although I really love choral singing. I have always known that music harmonizes and heals. During my studies at the music lyceum, I did not have the flu and very rarely acute respiratory infections. In cases of pneumonia and bronchitis, “it was not noticed at all.” By the way, the “wonderful properties” of sounds and melodies have always attracted oriental medicine. What is it I want to say? This post is about the benefits of singing. Singing is a simple, effective way to improve the functioning of the thyroid gland. Let me explain – the thyroid gland is the organ “responsible” for emotions, sensitivity, it has a powerful blood flow (comparable to the blood flow of the brain) and is located in the Vishuddha chakra zone – the zone of energy-information exchange and harmony (body and thoughts). Therefore, with any negative emotions, especially if a person does not know how to pronounce them, let them go, tends to withdraw them into himself, and become offended, thyroid diseases arise: nodes, cysts, diffuse toxic goiter, etc. Why do we need singing? Singing is a powerful source of joy, just look at how cheerful karaoke people usually are, even if they can’t sing at all – this is an expression of emotion through sound, if a person cannot let go of an emotion with words, let him “let go” with sound. Singing stimulates the production of dopamine and endorphins – “hormones of joy” (that’s what we’ll call them). A person is happy – he expresses himself. Physically (mechanically), singing causes the larynx to move, and since the thyroid gland is adjacent to the larynx, singing stimulates the thyroid gland well and improves its blood flow! Iron especially loves the notes – F, G, D; if you have thyroid diseases, you can sing them separately, stretch out the sound longer, and try to vibrate it. It’s better to sing loudly, but without straining yourself, and don’t sing in the cold. It is especially important to sing fear – it causes a strong spasm of the muscles of the larynx (deterioration of blood flow, including in the thyroid gland) and the common complaint of “a lump in the throat.” If the fear is so great that it is difficult to cope with it yourself, it is better to consult a neurologist or psychotherapist. Harmonizes the functioning of the thyroid gland and the singing of birds. You should listen, for example, to a nightingale or a swallow, you can put birdsong on a playlist and listen to it throughout the day, because we have become so far from nature, and winter in our region is “endless.” You may ask: does regular conversation harmonize the thyroid gland? Partially. There is no corresponding vibration and frequency of sound during pronunciation; professional singers, for example, are recommended to speak minimally, especially before a performance (but this is on a slightly different topic). The thyroid gland is a very positive organ – it “steers” all energy exchange in the body, so never dwell on bad emotions for a long time – pull yourself out of them, the longer you sit in depression or simply in a low mood – the worse the thyroid gland’s functioning can become. The thyroid gland “loves” bright colors – blue and orange. If you don’t want to wear such bright clothes, place at least sofa cushions of that color or curtains – any textiles or paintings – around the house. Some may think – what kind of nonsense did I write? But the rise in thyroid disease is spreading so quickly that it gives us pause. It is already becoming impossible to “attribute everything” to the environment, lack of iodine, etc. L-thyroxine, a drug for the treatment of the thyroid gland, is in 3rd place in the world ranking of drug sales! What is proposed – to “feed” every 3rd person with hormones? Do you like it? No to me. And yet, answering the main philosophical question, what comes first – consciousness or matter? I am sure – that consciousness (spirit). Therefore, we work on ourselves a little, on our positive thoughts, sing (in the car, in the bathroom, at karaoke, etc.) and we will be healthy. Later I will describe the thyroid gland syndrome a little for you. “Throat chakra”, thyroid area, blue-blue glow. Vibration of sound (human voice – predominance of yellow colors and shades). Author of the article: Murzaeva I.Yu., endocrinologist To form an opinion about a product, the user only needs 90 seconds. The chosen color scheme plays a decisive role in the opinion of users. Color controls the emotions of visitors and determines their attitude towards the site and the brand as a whole. When you look at a color, your eyes communicate with a specific area of the brain known as the hypothalamus. It sends a signal to the pituitary gland to the endocrine system, and then to the thyroid gland. And the thyroid gland gives a signal to produce special hormones that affect mood, emotions and behavior. Neil Patel of QuickSprout says color accounts for 85% of the decision to purchase a product. Therefore, many companies invest a lot of money in research and creating selling packaging for their products. The same rule works for selling sites: use the right colors and you will always win.
In what elements should color be used?
Since color is everywhere, you should decide at the very beginning what color scheme to use. If you are making a selling website with a children’s theme, then use green-yellow-red in the logo, phone number, menu, and headings. Your task is to evoke positive emotions in parents, which is why it is recommended to use more bright and saturated colors. In order to choose the right color scheme, you should follow the following principles:
- the right color for the theme;
- the right color for the target audience;
- correct color depending on time;
- the correct color for each target action.
1. Women don’t like grey, orange and brown. They love blue, purple and green.
There are big differences between the color preferences of women and men. Neet Patel revealed which colors are preferred for each gender.
In a survey he conducted, 35% of women said blue was their favorite color, followed by purple (23%) and green (14%). 33% of women admitted that orange and brown are their least favorite colors; in addition, women also ranked gray as their least favorite (17%).
The results of this survey are very clearly confirmed by the WomansDay website; they use blue and purple on their home page.
There is a paradigm that women love the color pink. But that’s not true. Only a small percentage of women chose pink as their favorite color. Therefore, it is recommended to use inserts of blue, purple and green colors in e-commerce sites. This will improve your site’s appeal to women and increase conversions.
2. Men don’t like purple, orange and brown. They prefer blue, green and black.
If you sell products for men, then do not use purple, orange and brown as the main colors of your site. This may turn off a potential buyer. Traditional colors for the male audience are blue and black. These are the colors that are associated with masculinity.
3. Use blue if you want to inspire trust among users.
Blue is the most common color. Not surprising, because it is the most preferred one for both men and women. Here are some other associations the color blue evokes:
- It is the color of trust, peace and order;
- Blue is the main corporate color in the USA (Intel, Dell, HP, IBM, etc.);
- It evokes feelings of calm and serenity.
PayPal also prefers this color. This color scheme helps to inspire trust among users. If PayPal used red or orange as their main color, they would probably be less popular in the world.
Blue color is very often used by banks and credit organizations. For example, VTB24 uses it as the main color.
Despite the fact that blue is a very common color, it is under no circumstances recommended to use it when designing websites that relate to nutrition and food. Evolutionary theory suggests that the color blue is associated with poison. So never use blue if you are selling gourmet products.
4. Yellow is the color of warning.
The color yellow is used in warning signs, traffic lights and road markings.
It seems strange, because it is known that yellow is the color of happiness. Business Insider reports that “brands use yellow to show that they are interesting and friendly.” According to this hypothesis, yellow evokes a feeling of playfulness. However, it is more likely that yellow stimulates arousal in the central part of the brain, and playfulness is simply a consequence of a state of heightened emotionality rather than pure joy.
The psychology of color is closely related to memory and experience. So, if you constantly wore a yellow shirt, lived in a house with yellow walls and ate at fast food centers with yellow arches, then the color yellow may cause joy in you due to its association with memorable events in your life.
Yellow can cause feelings of anxiety, so try to use yellow in small quantities as it can cause you to lose your clients.
5. Green is perfect for decoration.
Green is associated with nature, clean ecology and the environment. If the theme of your site is related to nature (construction, air conditioning, etc.), then it is recommended to use green color to evoke in users an association with cleanliness and lightness.
Green is the most common color to use in buttons. Thus, SpringSled, known for its strategy of attracting customers, uses green color in its design. Therefore, green is the ideal color for a call to action.
Using green will have a positive effect on the site and improve its reputation among those who are concerned about environmental issues.
6. Orange is fun.
The positive side of the color orange is that it can be used to evoke a cheerful mood. According to some reports, orange helps stimulate physical activity, competition and self-confidence. Maybe that’s why orange is actively used by sports teams (for example, the Dutch national team) and in children’s products.
Amazon uses orange for its Kindle page. Orange signifies relevance, making the message more noticeable and impactful.
Orange means pleasure and togetherness. Sometimes, orange is interpreted as “cheap”. It is enough to compare orange with the color of luxury – black. Therefore, if you sell goods in a low price segment, it is recommended to use this color when designing website elements.
7. Black adds a sense of luxury.
The darker the background, the greater the lux. An article from Lifescript describes black as “elegant, sophisticated, strong.” That’s why most high-end designers use black for e-commerce websites. Black is also described as “timeless, classic.” This helps explain the use of black in value-added products.
Black can also be considered a luxury color. Black is also glamor, sophistication, exclusivity.
Just open the D&G website and everything will fall into place.
Black color is actively used by automakers. Here’s an example of Lamborghini’s website.
If you sell expensive luxury consumer goods, then be sure to use black in your website design to add special elegance and exclusivity.
8. Use bright colors for calls to action.
The most common colors for calls to action are: red, green, orange, yellow. Darker colors like black, brown, or purple have low transition rates, unlike bright colors.
Russian ebay uses red for pop-ups.
Aliexpress uses orange on the main buttons.
Orange is associated with “cheap”, but if you want to grab the attention of users, then use this color.
9. Don’t neglect white.
Abundant use of white space is a powerful design element. Take, for example, the most popular website in the world.
Most well-designed websites today use white to create a feeling of freedom and lightness.
Conclusion.
- Test colors. You don’t need to settle on one specific color. Test different color combinations to find out which color your target audience likes best.
- Don’t force your designer into a “color box”. When working with a designer, do not set strict conditions for him to use one color.
- Keep an eye on the colors. Don’t forget that your goal is not to create a design that looks cool on the dribble. Beauty is of course good, but the main task of the site is to sell. Don’t forget this.
- Avoid color overload. Don’t try to use all colors at once in one design. This can lead to dire consequences. Too many colors can create a feeling of clutter.
