Civilize Behavior of Healthy Living

Civilize Behavior of Healthy Living - Health is a human right everyone, including children. To avoid various diseases mainly affecting children, as parents should you have to instill healthy behavior since childhood.

Teach children to live a healthy life should be inculcated early on. These healthy habits will make the future generation to remain healthy.

Informing the importance of personal hygiene and taking care of themselves become part of parents to teach children in infancy. If taught early, children will be accustomed to keeping their environment clean and maintain their health.

Health experts dr. Handrawan Nadesul said that culture shaped the behavior of healthy living since childhood. Health education starts from how healthy habit is formed. ne of the culture of healthy lifestyle behaviors is an important early inculcated from childhood is washing hands with soap (CTPS).

"CPTS can prevent more than ten types of fecal-oral diseases (through hand to mouth) include diarrhea," said Handrawan in an opportunity in Jakarta.

Currently, diarrhea has become the second highest cause of death in children after respiratory illnesses or pnuemonia. In one of the most important effort to prevent diarrhea is CTPS action. Based on research studies by Curtis V. Cairncross, wash hands with soap can reduce the risk of diarrhea by 47%.

According to dr. Handrawan, activities - activities CTPS must be a people's culture and needs to be done each time after doing the activity using the hands. If HWWS a culture will have an impact on the level of public health.

In addition to the field of health, culture CTPS also have an impact on the field of education because of diarrhea causing children frequently do not attend school. Research abroad shows CTPS important to help reduce school attendance of about 42%.

In Indonesia, the results of research non-governmental organizations (NGOs) spectra of 550 students in 11 districts in East Java with the behavior of washing hands with soap, especially before eating to reduce the level of absenteeism due to sick child diarrhea up to 11%. [mor]

Oral Sex Causes Head Cancer and Neck?

Oral Sex Causes Head Cancer - The main drivers of cancer is human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus can be transmitted through certain types of sexual activity.

"There seems to be pretty good relationship with the increasing number of sexual activity, especially oral sex, is associated with increased HPV infection," said Dr. Greg Hartig, professor of ENT and head and neck surgeon at the Faculty of Medicine and Public Health University of Wisconsin, in Madison.

While Dr. William Lydiatt, professor and chief of head and neck surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, said that the overall incidence of head and neck cancer will come down, mainly because fewer people smoking. Tobacco and alcohol are the major traditional risk factors.

But the incidence of tonsil and base of tongue cancer has increased over the last decade, he said. And they are the ones who are more likely tested positive for HPV.

"Until now, 60-70% of all cases of thyroid cancer in the U.S., associated with HPV," said Lydiatt.

Although the relationship between HPV and these cancers can not be denied, but the relation with oral sex is still a speculation among experts.

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine (2007) found that young people head and neck cancer are positive for oral HPV infection, more likely to have multiple sex partners vaginal and oral sex in their lives.

In the study revealed that a person who has six or more oral sex partners during lifetime associated with a 3.4 times higher risk of oropharyngeal cancer - base of tongue cancer, throat or back of the tonsil.

The researchers also reported that the tonsils and base of the tongue cancer has increased every year since 1973. And all the researchers wrote that the widespread practice of oral sex among teenagers may be a contributing factor in the increasing case.

The researchers conclude that in their study, oral sex is 'strongly associated' with oropharyngeal cancer. But they noted that can not 'rule out transmission through direct mouth' as the French habit of kissing.

In 90% cases of HPV infection in the body, the immune system naturally clear HPV within two years. However, in some cases, several types of HPV can cause cervical cancer or oropharyngeal cancer.

"HPV tends to be in specific locations," explained Dr Amesh A. Adalja, additional instructors in the spread of infectious diseases at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

In other words, HPV tend to stay anywhere else when you first enter the human body, both in the vagina (which in some cases can cause cervical cancer), or the mouth and throat.

So is increasing the incidence of this means that a new generation of more sex than their grandparents.

"Baby Boomers - generation of the 1970s and early 1960s - may have more freedom in sexual relations in general, including oral sex," added Dr. Bert W. O'Malley, Jr., chairman of Otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 2002, about 90% of men and 88% of women aged 25-44 years reported having oral sex with opposite sex couples.

This figure is comparable with the data in 1992 showing that about three-quarters of men aged 20-39 and approaching 70% of women aged 18-59, never giving and receiving oral sex. [Mor]Inilah.com

BackBone Care, Keep your body position

BackBone Care - Spinal pain is often ignored. In fact, once the main supporting bone of the body was disturbed, pain attacks and impaired productivity. Not surprising considering the spine is a dynamic object that holds the load of each of our activity.

Later, Andi often disturbed pain in his left. The result of the scan at the hospital turned out to have bearing prominent in the neck so that pinch nerves. "The pain disappeared arise," he said.

The doctor suggested that the defective part is replaced with implants. However, he was worried because many people who say the high risk in a series of spine surgery. Hesitate to risk the operation, pain was forced to hold-resistant.

As two-legged creature that stands upright, the human spine is an extremely vital organ as it works to sustain weight loss. Spine bone covering the neck (cervical), the middle back (thoracic), and lower back (lumbar/waist).


The series of spine divided into segments and between segments of the joints and bearings are composed of layers of structure. Serves to protect the bearings so that in between the bones do not clash.

The muscles that support the spine helpful.

Spine surgeons from the Spine Center Hospital Ramsay Premier Bintaro, Lutfi Gatam, say, the load on the spine while sitting, working, and carrying enormous loads. Lightest load spine only when we sleep.

Complaints most disorders of the spine is generally in the form of pain on the bottom (low back pain).

"Complaints are dominant because most of our body weight fall at the bottom so easily injured," Lutfi said, while giving exposure in the Kompas daily of "Spinal Problems", last week.

Causes of spinal disorders include muscle disorders, broken bones, bearing a damaged (broken/torn), interference with the joint or a mixture of several factors for tumors, cancer, and infections.

In people with normal spinal structures, spinal problems often caused by the activity of motion and posture.

Risk factors that, for example, repetitive heavy lifting, bending, and excessive movement. Static posture, such as sitting too long, is also a risk factor. Overworked muscle contraction and occurs continuously so there is a complaint.

10 TIPS HEALTHY WITHOUT DRUGS

10 TIPS HEALTHY WITHOUT DRUGS - Multicomplex life today so I can be knocked-down "disease" strange that difficult to overcome, either by itself or immune drugs. How tricks to keep us healthy without frequent treatment.

It is no secret that our bodies have immune systems that can protect the body from disease attack. That is if the system works! Sometimes like to crash. If it were so, so what can make! We are forced to seek treatment. However, it would also not hurt, trying various tricks to prevent disease to live without depending on drugs. Everywhere, which can be used to it: to prevent before it happens is better than cure that was already rife.

Here are 10 tips that can help you:

1. Know yourself, whether physical or psychological

This is somewhat philosophical, indeed, but in fact it is precisely here lies the key to everything. By knowing ourselves, we can know the physical weakness of our bodies, and then can decide what is good and don'ts for the body, and what is not. The person who has unwittingly eat foods that are salty delicacy unnecessarily, for example, over time felt his body change, as quickly felt dizzy, his balance is reduced, and often feel various symptoms of not feeling well.

After a doctor examined the body, known to his body began to develop a new "disease" of high blood pressure. If it ever since he tried earnestly to reduce salty foods and fatty foods, while doing moderate exercise regularly, then the "disease" it is not easy to recurrence, and he does not need frequent trips to the doctor again.

2. Not in a hurry to feel pain

Just because a sneeze, cough, or a slight fever, people have decided to take medicine. Though often after left three days, the symptoms of the disease go away. The body does have the ability to heal itself. Only with enough rest, pain symptoms were gone themselves. Dizziness symptoms can sometimes disappear simply by inhaling the fresh air in the park that are not contaminated exhaust air.

3. Eat a varied

Doing variation meal, start from the assumption that there are certain foods that are more useful than ordinary foods daily. If we use this as a distraction to the kind of daily food, then the two groups of materials that can complement each other.

4. Adjusting consumption by age level

The amount of nutrients the body needs varies depending on age, type of activity, and body condition (in sickness or health). In children and adolescents who are aggressive, grow jealous, the five elements in food (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, and water) is necessary, so it does not need to be restricted. Conversely, in adults and elderly, the restriction is absolutely necessary. Carbohydrate and fat as energy producers should be reduced in number, given their physical activity has decreased.

How to reduce carbohydrates and fat is to reduce the portion of rice and fried. In contrast, vitamins and minerals and should be eaten with just water enough. These substances are very necessary to facilitate the body's metabolism, and increase durability. Just keep in mind that the best is to use natural vitamins, such as that contained in fruits and vegetables fresh.

5. Exercise regularly according to ability

6. Always keep cleaning

Clean environment at home, page, and residential complexes to give fresh and comfortable atmosphere.

7. Taking the time to relax

Spending time ask for a break does not mean much more than working productively until beyond propriety. No! Taking the time to break it up a little while, and this is necessary, to set the kendo for a while in between the tension at rush hour to work everyday. This should be done routinely.

8. Back to nature

Trends in the early 1990s in Western countries is based on experience that lifestyle in modern times to encourage people to change their eating habits, such as more frequent eating canned food, bottled chili sauce, or fruit preserved. To return close to nature, we instead have to come into martial arts warriors, but at least avoid canned food, and even multiply eat fresh vegetables and fruit.

9. Treat respiratory

Treat respiratory means regulate the manner and frequency of breathing to be more efficient. By inhaling air (oxygen) slowly in a matter of 15 then slowly release it also in a matter of 15, we can keep the oxygen in the body longer than usual. Oxygen will be used by the body's organs in an effective, albeit only slightly.

10. Fond of reading health

The phrase "Do not know it was love, not love then no love" is very fitting to satirize people who want a healthy body, but did not bother reading about health approach.

Masturbation Not Affect Penis Size

Masturbation Not Affect Penis Size
Masturbation Not Affect Penis Size - Normal or not penis size always been an alarming young men. There was also little affected by the myth that masturbation can make the size of Mr. P aka penis larger.

Masturbation as one of actual sexual behavior has nothing to do with raising the size of the penis. Masturbation will not cause sterility. Nevertheless, sexual urges that arise in their teens should be controlled so that masturbation does not become a habit.

Until now there is no scientific evidence that supports the penis enlargement ways, either as pills, creams, injections, or surgery. Indeed, most men expect the size of "combat tool" they can be changed despite the fact that their partner has never complained about the size of its short length.

Dr. Hernando Chaves, an expert in clinical sexology from Beverly Hills, California, said that penis size is not the answer to a woman's sexual satisfaction. "It is important to raise the size of the penis, which must be satisfactory to learn techniques and stimulation points of the body of the couple. Besides course also enhance emotional closeness and communication techniques," he explained.

He said the man who is always worried about the size of its combat equipment would be more likely to experience erectile barriers. "Love yourself, bear in yourself that you are sexy and exciting. Be positive and always confident," he said.

Understanding about Ovulation

Understanding about Ovulation
Understanding about Ovulation - When ovulation is one of the most important thing for a woman to understand about her body, because it is a determining factor in getting pregnant or prevent pregnancy. The process can be a bit confusing, hopefully the text below can help you to understand.

Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovaries, down into the fallopian tubes, and ready to be fertilized. Lining of the uterus has thickened to prepare for a fertilized egg. If no fertilization occurs, uterine lining and blood will be whole. Decay that has not been fertilized egg and uterine lining is called menstruation.

Ovulation facts about what you need to know:

• An egg lives 12-24 hours after leaving the ovary
• Usually only one egg is released each time of ovulation
• Ovulation can be affected by stress, illness or disruption of daily routines.
• Some women may experience some light blood spotting during ovulation
• Implantation/attachment of a fertilized egg usually occurs 6-12 days after ovulation
• Every woman is born with millions of eggs that mature to wait for the start of ovulation
• A menstrual period can occur even if ovulation does not occur
• Ovulation can occur even if menstruation does not occur
• Some women may feel a little pain or pain near the ovaries during ovulation called 'mittelschmerz', in German meaning "middle pain"
• If the egg is not fertilized, it split and absorbed into the lining of the uterus

Knowing When Ovulation:
A woman's monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of the next period. The average woman's monthly cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have shorter cycles or much longer.

Ovulation can be calculated from the first day of last menstrual period (HPHT) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anytime between day ke11 - 21 st day of their cycle, counting from the first day of last menstruation. This is what many people refer to as "fertile period"of the woman's cycle, because sexual intercourse during this period increases the possibility of pregnancy. Ovulation can occur at various times during the cycle, and may occur on different days each month.

Ovulation Cycle divided into two parts:
The first part of the ovulation cycle is called the follicular phase. This phase begins the first day of last menstrual period (HPHT) and continues until ovulation. This first half of the cycle, this can be very different for every woman that lasted approximately 7 days to 40 days.

The second part of this cycle is called luteal phase and lasts from ovulation until the next period begins. Luteal phase have a better time and usually only 12-16 days from ovulation. This shows that the day of ovulation will determine how long your cycle. It also means that outside factors like stress, illness, and the usual routine disruption, may cause the occurrence of ovulation which then effect changes in your menstrual period to come.

So the notion that stress can affect the menstrual cycle is only partially true. Stress can affect ovulation which ultimately determines when your period will come, but stress around the expected time period (luteal phase) will not make your cycle too late, because it was determined when it would come 12-16 days earlier!

From Menstruation to Ovulation (the details you may not know!)
When your menstrual cycle begins, your estrogen levels low. Your hypothalamus (which is responsible for maintaining your hormone levels) sends out a message to the pituitary gland which then sends the hormone FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). This FSH triggers some of your follicles to develop into mature eggs. One of these will develop into the dominant follicle, which will release a mature egg and the other will be destroyed. Once the follicles mature they send out another hormone, estrogen. High levels of estrogen will tell the hypothalamus and pituitary gland that there is a mature egg.

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is then released, referred to as the LH surge. Surge of LH causes the egg burst through the ovary wall within 24-36 hours and begin its journey down the fallopian tube for fertilization. Egg follicle is released is called the corpus luteum, and it will release progesterone that helps thicken and prepare the uterine lining for implantation. The corpus luteum will produce progesterone for about 12-16 days (the luteal phase of the cycle you are.) If the egg is fertilized, corpus luteum will continue to produce progesterone for the developing pregnancy until placenta takes over. You can begin looking for pregnancy symptoms as early as one week after conception. If no fertilization egg dissolves after 24 hours.

At this time your hormone levels will decrease and your uterine lining will begin to shed about 12-16 days from ovulation. This is menstruation (menstrual cycle) and bring us back to day 1 of your cycle. The journey then begins again. ayahbunda.net

First Week Pregnancy

First Week Pregnancy - Here is a description of the development process as well as a pregnancy that your baby's growth every week. Please remember that every pregnancy is different and growth rate varied, so you can talk to your doctor.

First Week Pregnancy

Actually a bit strange too, if we count the weeks of gestation from last menstrual period. But because most women almost can not be sure exactly when they started to contain (and that's fair), so it's better doctors calculate from your last menstrual period even though you are not pregnant at least until 2 weeks later. For example, if your physician says that you are pregnant 12 weeks (based on your last menstrual period), then you begin to contain 10 weeks ago.

This is a very early weeks, if you are planning a pregnancy, you should start by thinking that you are pregnant. This means eating healthy foods, take vitamins for pregnancy that contain folic acid quit drinking and drugs, smoking, alcohol and other unhealthy foods.

What is your speciality?

"What is your speciality?"

I was attending a Party in a relative's house in a City far away from my workplace. I had to face this question more than once that night. I was speechless for a moment.

I am asked that question whenever I am among strangers not connected to Medical profession and always find it difficult to make people understand my area of work.

Should I say I am a General Physician?

Then they will say 'Oh you are a General Practitioner" which is not quite correct though many consider us as glorified General Practitioners.

Should I say I am an Internist?

Then they will ask what that is and I will have to explain that an internist is a doctor who specializes in identifying and treating diseases which do not need surgery. Many will still not understand.

Sometimes I say I am a Diabetologist. I have trained myself to be one and most of my patients are Diabetics thanks to high incidence of Diabetes in Kerala.

But am I just a Diabetologist?

No I do not want to be considered only as a Diabetologist. I also had some training in Rheumatology and also in HIV/AIDS.

Many well wishers have asked me why you are not concentrating on one sub-speciality/super-speciality.

"Why don't you take a DM in Cardiology or Neurology? You can earn double for the same amount of work"


But I never wanted to confine myself to one organ or organ system. Also after spending almost 10 yrs in training in Medicine I did not want another 3 years in Medical College. Being an MD in Internal Medicine I believed I am competent enough to tackle most of the cases that come to me. I could also work in smaller towns without much infrastructure unlike a sub-specialist. I also felt that work of an Internist is more exciting, dealing with a large variety of disease conditions.

So I never tried for a DM.

We the Internists always used to say jokingly that a Sub-specialist [we never call them super-specialist] is a doctor who knows more and more about less and less. Sub-specialists will say we are just jealous.

Now after 14 years of practice as an Internist, when I look back I do not have any regrets.

But I am still speechless when that question is asked.

"Perceptions of parents that their children prefer picky food can make parents do not offer their children healthy food," said Mildred Horodynski, researchers from Michigan State University's College of Nuring.
Children Eating Pattern Following Parental
One way to encourage children to eat healthier, according to Horodynski, is changing the eating behavior of parents. That is, if the father-mother used to eat healthy foods, children will usually follow.

"What children eat a diet reflects his mother, and unfortunately most women are also rarely eat vegetables or fruit," he said.

In order for children to love healthy foods, the mother or the father should not only serve, but also to eat together. "When you try something food, children will be interested to try it too," he said.

He suggested, if the child refused to taste the vegetables are served, parents should not immediately branded her vegetable hater. "Research shows that children need to try 15 times before going to eat a type of food," he explained.

The key for children like fruit and vegetables were introduced as early as possible, ie at 7-8 months of age when children begin to recognize solid food. "At age 24 months children already know what she likes. If the mother does not give vegetable, he would not like it," he explained. KOMPAS.COM

Doctor Don't Distinguish Patients - A doctor at work, in addition to professional expected, also must not discriminate patients, both in terms of religion, ethnicity, class, or rich and poor, said the rector of Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta Dasron Hamid. "Suppose the patient is your own. Treat them regardless of religion, tribe, rich or poor," he said at the inauguration and oath doctors XXIX period of Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK) Yogyakarta Muhammadiyah University (in St. Louis) in Yogyakarta, Saturday (8/1/2011).

According to him, a doctor should treat patients in a professional, because basically what is done solely for the welfare and health of society as a whole. Representatives of the Central Executive Council Diktilitbang (PP) Muhammadiyah Murdiyanto Joko said the medical profession can not be separated from two things, namely professionalism and humanism.

Burn Fat Faster While Walking

Burn Fat Faster While Walking - Although exercise often walk considered "less challenging", but you can burn more fat if you know how. You do not even need to make an effort too hard.

Avoid steep climb
Do not assume that walking in the streets and steep uphill better at burning calories. "Better to keep your speed on the climb that was rather than slowing down at a steeper incline," says Mark Fenton, author of The Complete Guide to Walking.

Swing your arm
When walking, we arm automatically swings to the rhythm of our steps. Swing your arms are bent with gusto. Besides can make you run faster, also burn more calories, according to Lee Scott, coach of the road and the director of WoW Power Walking in Toronto.

Take small steps
The best way to increase calorie burning pace and is taking steps shorter and faster, clearly Scott. Walk the 100 steps, and then restore themselves for one minute. Stepping back 100 steps, and then try to reduce the time break of five seconds of your time. Repeat 12 times.

Set the destination point
Therese Iknoian, author of Fitness jogging Walking, advise you to select the bookmark (eg stop sign, park benches, etc.) and speed up your steps until you reach the goal. Then walk more slowly for the same distance.

Involve the calf muscle
When you set foot foot front, put out your legs as if she were to clean chewing gum from the soles of your shoes, says Iknoian. This will make the calf, hamstring (muscles along the back of the thigh to the back of the knee), and buttocks muscles go to work. The more muscle you use, the more calories you burn.

Choose the right shoes
To obtain the greatest strength of the repulsion of your feet, choose footwear with a little cushion, but with the front of the shoe that is flexible or pliable, said Fenton.

Standing tall
When your body in a straight position, back and buttocks muscles are able to work more powerful, so you can run faster and burn more calories. Stand up straight, stretch your back muscles with the spine straight. Make sure your ears and shoulders are also aligned with the hips.

Increase heart rate
When you wear a heart rate monitor, you can act as a personal trainer who keeps you to step into the optimal fat burning speed. "That gives you a boost when you step too slow, but also slow you down if you push too hard," said Iknoian.

Add your strengths
Simple movements such as push-ups and lunge cause more muscle work for the main combustion, it is clear Harley Pasternak, personal trainer of celebrities (including Hilary Duff). When you walk, stop every five minutes and do the push-up or lunge for one minute. This additional strength will help you launch your metabolism in the long term. Quoted from [KOMPAS.com]

"It's early works are interesting, but far from anything that happens in a test tube to know exactly what happens in humans," said Dr. Durado Brooks, director of prostate and colorectal cancers at the American Cancer Society.

More fruits and vegetables, less risk of prostate cancer
The incidence of prostate cancer has increased in the last 10-20 years in Asian countries. A number of treatments available, but side effects generally include incontinence (urine output unconscious) and impotence.

"The rate of prostate cancer is lower in countries whose inhabitants eat lots of fruits and vegetables, although the link between diet and certain diseases is not clear," said Brooks, as quoted by Health24.

How to Get Male Baby or Female

How to Get Male Baby or Female - Male or female alike. The words we often hear from couples who are waiting for the arrival of baby. But sometimes in their hearts, there is a desire that can not be denied that they have no hope for children born to women or men. Can we design a child born as a male or female? Can!

The first attempt to do, of course pray and ask him directly on the Creator of Life. Alternatively, of course with the lawful efforts can and should do.

Every time ejaculation, normal male sperm release 2 to 5 sprays. In that duration, the sperm produced about 2 to 5 cc. Normal sperm per cc contains 60-200 million sperm. So every man ejaculates, 120 to 1 billion sperm has been removed from his body.

As we know, there are two genes in the sperm. Androsperma are also called gen Y and Gynosperma which we might call a gene X. Gen Y is the gene that allows us a mother pregnant with girls, whereas the gene X is the opposite. If husband and wife are equally dominant X gene was then the most likely, both will have a daughter. But if the father dominant gene Y and X genes of the mother then the chances of the children born are male. Nevertheless, it is counting logic that never beat the wonders of nature and power of God.

How to calculate the time of ovulation or peak fertility of a woman:

Known date of the beginning of the net of a woman every month, for example, every December 05.

Known date of the end of the net of a woman every month, for example, every December 27.

The formula: ((date each month) - (date of each month))/2 = n;

then n + date of the beginning of the net from a woman = time of ovulation or peak fertile period of a woman.

(27-05)/2 = 11; 05 + 11 = 16 - Every day to 16, from the net early on a woman is the culmination of a woman's fertile period or ovulation

Characteristics of spermatozoa:

Androsperma, carrying the Y gene:

- Moving more slowly.

- More able to survive much longer (the average age of approximately 2 to 3 days).

- More resistant in the 'atmosphere' of acid.

- No resistance in the 'atmosphere' bases.

- Having a Specific Gravity (BJ) lighter.

Gynosperma, carries a gene X:

- Moving more nimbly.

- Life is shorter (average age approximately only 1 day only)

- No resistance in the 'atmosphere' of acid.

- More resistant in the 'atmosphere' bases.

- Having a Specific Gravity (BJ) is more severe.

If Men Want Children. If you are the spouse who wants a baby boy, there are tips from the results of a study that you can do. First, you should have intercourse at the time or the day before ovulation. Ovulation is when the release of eggs from the ovaries in a woman's womb.

The next way is to moisten the vagina by a liter of water is first mixed with 2 (two) tablespoons of baking soda. Besides eating seafood and meat is also very helpful in this process. And most important of the above series of business is, the husband must remove sperm as close to the mouth of the uterus. This is expected to accelerate Gynosperma made their way to fertilize the egg.

If you want girl. If you are the couples who wanted girls, there are a few tips you can do. First look at the schedule of your intimate relationships. Perform an intimate relationship 2 days to 3 days before ovulation. The next step, prior to intercourse, the wife could wash the vagina with one liter of water mixed with one tablespoon of vinegar.

This solution was not harmful. Acid in the vinegar water solution is useful for disabling Androsperma who played a major role to form male genes. In addition, the candidate should spend sperm dad does not like the way the above, but rather take the distance to the mouth of the uterus. This method allows to get a baby girl. Consuming acid foods such as yogurt, fruit with a sour taste, fresh vegetables and nuts also help the process.

But once again do not forget, the human effort. Likewise Allah who have a plan.

The survey, conducted Lambrini Light beverage company in the UK states, female dieters who succeed are those who started the slimming program at the age of 28 years.
Women in age 20s believed to be able to quickly erode the fat from her body, because they have more time and a strong willingness to woman in other age. Women in their age:20s, are also relatively more concerned about weight and stay focused on the goal to reduce the number of scales.

Meanwhile, women who started in the 30s, are often too busy and had no time considering her weight. While at the age of 40 and 50's, the women have lost the passion to create beautiful body.

Research was also noted, the women who perform two types of diet or health habits last year, to pocket an average of Rp 1.9 million for the program slimming and fitness club. However, nearly three-quarters admit one diet in which they live ended without result.

Advanced Therapy Against Baldness

Advanced Therapy Against Baldness - The threat of baldness in men is greater than with women. Reduced hair piece by piece, which ends with baldness, certainly disturbing. Though now there has been no solution to overcome baldness, at least, there are some therapies being developed by experts.
Therapy Against Baldness
Here are some therapies that can provide hope for men in the future:

1. Hair Cloning
Therapy is to double the amount of wear hair healthy hair follicles, and the results disseminated in the head which is usually faster bald or already bald. In this way the new hair may appear thicker and healthier.

Hair multiplication method is still in test phase and continue to be developed. However, a company in the UK, Intercytex, which develops cell therapies for baldness, last year announced that the 'second phase' of the test has been successfully implanted. They predict this method can be used widely within the next five years.

2. Genetic Tests
About two of three men go bald as they enter their 60s. Still, a few men whose hair has begun to decrease since youth. According to experts, this is because basically everyone already has a certain genetic pattern. In the case of baldness, there are gene variants that have been identified will lead to baldness. Therefore, experts assess preventive measures can be done earlier if the identification of these genes has been performed.

deCODE Genetics, genetic research-based company, currently has developed a method of gene introduction. Through this method will each person can find out if he was bald or not inherited the gene. If proven there is a risk of baldness, preventive measures can be done immediately.

3. Natural regeneration
In a study of cell regeneration in rats, by accident by scientists from the University of Pennsylvania found that hair follicles can participate regenerate. This opens an opportunity for scientists to create a type of artificial proteins to stimulate hair follicle growth.

Unfortunately the process of research to be done is still very long before we can really get the hair that grows naturally in the skin of a bald head.

Main Cause Male Baldness | Hair health

Main Cause Male Baldness
Male pattern baldness is often associated with reduced testosterone. In the latest study, revealed that the main cause of baldness is a disturbance in the function of stem cells (stem cells) that make new hair.

The team of American researchers in the Journal of Clinical Investigation said the new hair is produced is very small, not visible to the naked eye. As a result, the scalp will be visible point of baldness or hair-line retreat.

Although the bald area has the same number of stem cells with the no bald scalp, a few mature cell. These cells called progenitor cells. This means that hair follicles in the bald area is hidden. The new hair growth was just visible under a microscope, they are much smaller.

"This indicates there is a problem in the activation of stem cells to alter the cells in the progenitor of a bald scalp. The fact that the number of stem cells normally give her hope that the cells can be activated so that hair can grow," says Dr.George Cotsarelis.

He and his team now plans to create a hair cream that can be used to induce stem cells to grow normal hair. We just wait the next discovery.

Do not Mix Energy Drinks and Alcohol

Do not Mix Energy Drinks and Alcohol
Do not Mix Energy Drinks and Alcohol - You are a fan of energy drinks? Do not mix energy drinks with high caffeine alcohol, because the mixture of the two is dangerous and makes people more drunk.

Approximately 6.5 percent of respondents who admitted drinking alcohol mixed with energy drinks are three times more drunk than those who only drank alcoholic beverages only.

Mixing energy drinks with alcohol young children do in America. This they do because caffeine can reduce the drowsiness caused by alcohol. This condition is often termed as "drunk but conscious."

Bruce Goldberger, Director of Toxicology at the University of Florida College of Medicine, said many people mistake the stimulant effects of caffeine will eliminate the depressant effect of alcohol. "That is a false perception. The result is dangerous because it makes people more drunk," he said.

High Caffeine Drinks Disturb Intelligence

High Caffeine Drinks Disturb Intelligence
High Caffeine Drinks Disturb Intelligence - In moderation, caffeine can indeed increase the concentration, making us more alert and able to run through difficult challenges. However, these benefits continue to decrease along with the large number of caffeine consumption.

Energy drinks, which typically contain high concentrations of caffeine, the drink excessively will make the body become sleepy as the effects of alcoholic beverages.
In one study, students who were given low doses of caffeinated drinks (equivalent to half a can of energy drink), has a high response on test results that require rapid response on a computer screen.

But when the dose of caffeine-enhanced, they would respond slowly. The participants in the study also said that mentally feel over-stimulation and sleepy after drinking.

"Not a few energy drinks that also contain alcohol. Therefore, if consumed in excessive amounts can adversely effect cognitive function and reduced vigilance," said Cecile A. Marczinski, researchers from Northern Kentucky University.

Research conducted on 80 students aged 18-40 years. To determine the effects of caffeine, the participants were given energy drinks and the rest were given non-caffeine drinks.

Urine Color Yellow Like Tea


Urine Color Yellow Like Tea - The color of normal urine is bright yellow, the color is caused by the substance called bilirubin, if dark yellow urine, such as water tea, have suspected there was interference with the metabolism of bilirubin. This condition is called jaundice is a state in which the levels of bilirubin in the blood rises above normal levels.

This condition is characterized by a yellowing of skin color, white eye (sclera) yellow, and brown urine earlier. Can also like the tea-colored urine while drinking lots of water, this situation usually occurs due to excessive carotene consumed substances (most of these substances contained in tomatoes and carrots), the skin can also be yellowing but to distinguish it with jaundice can see the whites of her eyes (sclera ), because the whites of her eyes remain white. The yellow color can also be due to somewhat older taking vitamin B complex, but rather bright yellow and younger than the jaundice.

Increased levels of bilirubin can be caused by increased production (in cases where the solution of red blood cells or erytrocite excessive), the presence of liver dysfunction, and impaired bilirubin expenditure. The cause of most of the liver function disorders such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, fatty liver, liver cancer, and other disorders. Another cause is a blockage in the bile duct (either by stone or tumor), so that the bilirubin can not go out and lead to increased levels of bilirubin.

Hepatitis is the most common cause jaundice. Hepatitis itself is a state of inflammation of the liver that can be caused by many things. For example, viral infection, drug intoxication, and alcohol. This inflammation makes the liver function decreases, and one result is jaundice.

Symptoms of hepatitis include:

Nausea, vomiting, weakness, lethargy, and sometimes there is fever, decreased appetite, pain in the pit of the stomach right above, also of symptoms that have been mentioned above was the color of urine, such as tea, yellowish skin and whites of the eyes.

But in certain circumstances is not accompanied by jaundice or hepatitis symptoms earlier, this is more dangerous because it is difficult to know the symptoms.

To ensure that can be sent bilirubin levels, liver function tests (SGOT/SGPT), and in certain circumstances required an ultrasound examination. Treatment of hepatitis intended to restore impaired heart function. So patients should maintain body condition for not too tired, eat regular, adequate rest for the immune system strong enough to prevent infection by the virus. Some drugs commonly used are Hepasil, Curcuma, Mobile Pro, Methicol, Lesichol, etc..

But if the pain is slightly middle and the pain to penetrate the canopy, might Kidney organ that is failing.

Meanwhile, when pain arises in the lower right, the most common cause is inflammation of the appendix or Appendicitis, then other causes which quite often is a urinary tract infection, or the female suspect an inflammation of the ovaries channel.

To distinguish between appendicitis with urinary tract infections, namely:
In the appendix accompanying symptoms are fever, could also be accompanied by nausea to vomiting and sometimes can also be accompanied by diarrhea, usually arising from very strong pain until the patient is always leaned forward with suppressed pain in the lower right abdomen.

While on urinary tract infections usually are frequent urination, pain when urinating, as well as the pain at the time of urine, can also be accompanied by high fever and nausea also vomited. The picture above to help identify if there are problems around the area, to make sure they still require a more thorough examination and should consult with your doctor.

Menstrual Pain in a long time

Menstrual Pain in a long time - For every woman who is growing up will definitely experience menstruation which is characterized by discharge of blood due entirely mucous membrane of the uterus, this is a natural process that is always repeated by the cycle. Menstruation is often followed by symptoms of lower abdominal pain, sore waist, aching throughout the body, lethargy, nausea, sometimes vomiting. Usually these symptoms appear on the first or second day of menstruation. These symptoms often interfere although this naturally occurs in every woman.

There are things that need to be observed when there are additional other symptoms that could indicate a particular disease or disorder. Usually additional other symptoms to watch is when your period was long and accompanied by bleeding a lot. If any of these symptoms will usually be accompanied by an unusual pain.

Normal menstruation is between 10-12 days, when menstruation is longer than usually called Hypermenorrhea, contrary menstrual bit (just a drop-drop) and the time was less than normal is called hypomenorrhea, this condition is often associated with fertility, because there may be infertile (can not have kids), then the amount of blood that came out normal day between 15-50 cc. If blood comes out beyond usual, will be felt by the woman, especially when up to 80 cc or more.

Severe pain during menstruation or called dysmenorrhea is pain felt in the lower abdomen at the time before, during and after menstruation. Many times a woman experiencing these symptoms at the time of menstruation and making should rest for a few hours or even can not work.

Is dysmenorrhea normal?

Actually dysmenorrhea is still reasonable if infrequent or only occasionally, so it is important to note here is the intensity.
To relieve it can usually be overcome by taking an analgesic (pain reliever).

To note or to watch out for is if the dysmenorrhea was also accompanied by blood came out very much, and going beyond the normal time and place repeatedly. There may be abnormalities in the organ abortion.

Abnormalities of the content of these organs can vary due to chronic infection, endometriosis, myoma, cervical polyp, erosion, sarcomas, or can no malignancy in the cervix (cervical ca.) For women who use family planning type of injection, usually will experience irregular menstruation as well, blood can come out a lot and can exceed the normal time, even a month continuous period, is caused by unstable hormone injections before the influence of family planning. So when experiencing abnormal symptoms as described above should be checked by a gynecologist.

Beware of Formalin Food

Beware of Formalin Food
Beware of Formalin Food - There are many frequently asked questions about the formaldehyde. Especially food what is often preserved with formalin, and then what is the danger of formalin.

Formalin is actually a name of a chemical substance consisting of a mixture of formaldehyde, methanol and water. Because it is widely used as a preservative of dead bodies. But lately often misused as a food preservative. For example, if we combine this formalin into a material such as fish meat, the formalin will be absorbed by the meat of fish with ease, then formalin will remove cells from the fish meat and replace it with a more rigid formaldehyde.

The result will be preserved meat or fish did survive for a long time, besides that the fish meat will not rot, because formaldehyde was capable of killing microbes or germs which are usually small role in the process of decay. Let us imagine if the meat was preserved with formalin before we eat, sad, of course very dangerous.

Meanwhile, when used to preserve corpses, obviously very helpful, because it was fast decaying corpse, using formalin, then the body can survive long enough. preserved corpse so what? In some cases the bodies are required to be tested like anatomy lab that uses the body as lab materials.

Because the durable power was incredible then misused as a food preservative, but the government has issued laws that prohibit the use of formalin in food. But in fact there are still many foods market using formalin circulating freely.

The effects of formalin

If you frequently eat foods that are preserved with formalin, it will over time can cause irritation to the stomach so the blood can cause vomiting, or diarrhea mixed with blood, urine or blood and could also potentially cause death. But this rarely happens, because it required a large dose of formalin.

The most common is chronic poisoning due to eating foods that are often preserved with formalin, is usually damaged kidneys or can cause cancer in the future. So be careful buying food and eating food. Should be wary of foods that use formaldehyde as a preservative.

Constipation, Difficult to Toilet

Constipation, Difficult to Toilet
Constipation, Difficult to Toilet - Why difficult bowel movements, especially during fasting, this question often posed to me.

Difficult bowel movements or constipation is referred to the circumstances in which dirt or faeces have hardened so hard to be discarded. Can also during bowel movements painful.

There are several causes that lead to constipation include dietary changes, due to side effects of medicines, hormonal or due to anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract.

At the time of fasting constipation tends to increase due to several factors:

1. When fasting, there is the tendency lack of movement, this will make the movement of poor digestion. The solution needs to be done light exercise such as walking.

2. Often there is less drinking water. Lack of water in the body can cause constipation. Normally, our bodies need to drink six to eight glasses, or about 1.5 liters a day. The solution is drink plenty of water at the time of breaking fast until dawn.

3. Expand to eat cake instead of veggies, so there is less fiber in the digestive tract. The solution is in addition to eating cake, multiply eating from a class of fiber, especially whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts.
