Lincoln memorial

WOC, Taipei

11. Lincoln memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is an American memorial built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and was dedicated on May 30, 1922.

The exterior of the Memorial echos a classic Greek temple and features Yule marble. The structure measures 189.7 by 118.5 feet (57.8 by 36.1 m) and is 99 feet (30 m) tall. It is surrounded by a peristyle of 36 fluted Doric columns, one for each of the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln's death, and two columns in-antis at the entrance behind the colonnade. The columns stand 44 feet (13 m) tall with a base diameter of 7.5 feet (2.3 m). Each column is built from 12 drums including the capital. The columns, like the exterior walls and façades, are inclined slightly toward the building's interior. This is to compensate for perspective distortions which would otherwise make the Memorial appear asymmetrical.

Restorate

Fitline - Restorate

R for Restorate

Many diseases of civilization (such as obesity, which withstands all attempts to diet) are related to over-acidity in the body. FitLine® Restorate, with its balanced combination of minerals acts to combat acidity, so contributing to a neutral acid-base ratio.

Minerals and trace elements are, however, not just important for our health and well-being due to their acid-base ratio; every movement of a muscle, every beat of the heart only functions with the aid of calcium and magnesium. Minerals are the building blocks for solid bones and strong muscles, they are responsible for good skin and hair, deep, healthy sleep as well as physical and mental fitness, they ensure an optimal provision with energy and a strong immune system and, above all, for sufficient detoxification and removal of acid from the body. FitLine® Restorate contains many vital minerals and trace elements as well as the "bone vitamin" D in a balanced combination. As long as the slight metallic taste does not bother you and there are no medical objections, we generally recommend taking the version with vitamin D and iron.

• Vitamin D supports the absorption of calcium by the intestines and its integration into the bones.
• Magnesium and calcium combat stress.
• Iron is essential for hemoglobin and therefore for oxygen transport and supports detoxification and the removal of acidity.
• Zinc and selenium combat oxidative stress and support the immune system.
• Potassium ensures the important flow of energy throughout the body.
