2011-12-08T00:47:00.000-08:00

One of the problems often complain about the women who are pregnant is the appearance of spots of acne on the face. Although not always clear what causes acne to get worse during pregnancy, but the condition is probably caused by oil production (sebum) is excessive.

Lawrence E. Gibson, MD, staff dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic said, there are 2 (two) ways to treat acne during pregnancy that is through self-care and treatment (medical). He added, for treating acne problems during pregnancy, can be started with self-care:

* Wash your face twice a day. Use a mild facial cleanser (mild cleanser), gently rub your face with warm water and use to clean and rinse.

* If you use hair oil every day, protect your face so as not to continue to be exposed to oily hair.

* Do not touch, scratch or squeeze acne sores. This habit can spread the infection and potentially lead to scarring.

* If you use cosmetics, you should use oil free products. Look for cosmetics that are like water, noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic.

Drugs is a priority to-2

The use of drugs to treat acne during pregnancy should be a second priority. Any type of drug used by applied to the skin or in the drink can enter the bloodstream, so it's important to be careful in using drugs while pregnant.

Gibson suggests, if you are worried pimples will appear during pregnancy, should consult a dermatologist or specialist gynecologist who specializes in pregnancy. With the doctor's directions and instructions, you can weigh the benefits and risks of various treatment options.

3 Exercise Important Maintain Knee joints

2011-11-27T23:07:00.000-08:00

The age of 30 years, everyone will naturally experience what is called a hormone and a decrease in muscle mass. These conditions generally can indirectly affect the reduced stabilization of the knee joint.

Joint disorders are problems experienced by almost all susceptible people with age. Both men and women have similar risk to experience this.

According to a health practitioner who is also Corporate Health trainer dr. Phaidon Lumban Toruan, the decline of hormones especially growth hormone (growth hormone / GH) will impact on the disruption of the work function of the quadriceps muscles, back and calf.

"Because that keeps stabilization in the knee joint muscles. If the muscle is reduced, its stabilization is reduced. When the stabilization is reduced, the load on the knee joint becomes very much," said Phaidon in the workshop on Anti-Aging Lifestyle, Sunday, (11.27.2011), in Jakarta.

The decline of growth hormone also affects the ability of joints to recover (recovery). The reason, further Phaidon, whose job is to regenerate insulin-like growth factors (IGF's) - which is the result of GH stimulation.

Phaidon said, aging is something common and will be faced by all people. But the problem is, most people do not know that the joints must be maintained and the joints may also suffer from aging. Damage to the joints, although rarely fatal, but the sufferer will have uninterrupted freedom, health and fitness for life.

"The problem of the joint is more than just sports. Because exercise can actually overload the joint. If one sport is not in place and do not know how the rules of the game, will add even joint problems," he said.

So what to do? The first time is to change the mind set. To have a healthy body, it must be willing to run a healthy living. Healthy life starts from a healthy mind, after it learned to behave well and figuring out the right information and correct.

Phaidon add, correct and true information about the joint is how someone is able to train the muscles that support joints.

"How can training with squats and hamstring muscles in order to be maintained the same period when we were young. Thus preserved knee joint forces," he explained.

Here is a 3 (three) types of exercise is easy and simple to maintain and care for the knee joint in order to stay in good health:

1. Squat

Squat (squat-stand) is one type of strength training exercises that hone the muscles, especially on the thighs, hips and buttocks, hamstrings, and strengthening bones.

Squat movement, according to Phaidon, is a type of exercise that involves most of the muscle in its execution, and triggers the growth hormone than any other weight training. So it is recommended to do this exercise routine if you want to add muscle mass of the body.

2. Leg curl

Leg Curl Movement is an isolation exercise to train the hamstrings muscles (hamstring). This exercise can vary between positions or lying on your stomach or by standing.

3. Raise calves

This is a movement to train the calf muscles. To do this, you simply stand with your feet hip-width apart. If you need a balancer, use a chair or leaning on the wall. Slowly tiptoe on the foot while keeping the torso and legs remain straight. Hold and lower back. Do keep in recurrent

Natural supplements

The third addition to the above motion, Phaidon added, to help the formation of cells of healthy joints may also be supported with the consumption of supplements derived from Omega 3 and Vitamin C.

"If one must use natural supplements are recommended to consume supplements (made by nature) instead of synthetic," he advised.

Until now, there is no cure or action that can heal the inflammation in the knee joint. Treatment of arthritis is currently only intended to reduce pain, restore joint function and prevent or delay the occurrence of degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis (OA).

5 Foods that Make Addiction

2011-08-26T20:17:00.000-07:00

So far, we know the dangers of alcohol consumption, drugs, and cigarettes for health because it can cause addiction or dependence effects are difficult to stop. However, have you realized that some kind of food we consume daily can also cause effects addictive?

Here are five types of food are considered the most addictive and can influence you to eat constantly.

1. Chocolate

Many people claim to be lovers of chocolate, but know that you are actually addicted to chocolate? One reason many people feel "addicted" to eat chocolate is because these foods mengadung chemical compounds (theobromine, phenyethylamine, anandamide, and tryptophan) that provides comfort and can mimic the effects of the drug to affect the brain. Chocolate also contains alkaloids (tetrahydro-beta-carbolines) are present in alcoholic beverages.

2. Cheese

Various studies have found the content of opiates (morphine is highly addictive) in processed cheese products. Research has shown that the amount of morphine in the cheese is very small and may not be enough to cause addiction. However, some researchers have expressed their concern about the level of casein (the main protein in cheese), which produces compounds such as morphine or opiates called casomorphins. In addition, the cheese also contains phenylethylamine (a stimulant effect) and is known to have addictive qualities.

3. Sugar

We all know that sugar is bad for health, but, according to many studies, the sugar also can include addictive substances. Studies have suggested, when we consume sugar, chemicals called opioids released by the brain, which cause pleasure. This feeling makes people crave sugar.

A study at Princeton University investigated the effects of sugar addiction in rats. They found, after being given a high-sugar diet, the mice develop symptoms such as shaking and there is a change of chemical compounds in the brain after being given sugar. This study concludes, it is possible for us to rely on sugar.

4. Burgers and processed meat

Many studies have shown, the fat in junk food, like burgers, can actually be addictive. According to Professor David Kessler, former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug, a combination of fat, salt, and sugar in junk food can trigger the brain to the "point of happiness" and make us wanting more.

Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute Florida supports this theory by doing a study that suggests that the addictive response in rat brains when eating junk food just like in people who take cocaine or heroin.

5. Coffee

Not a few among us who claim to hard start the day without a cup of coffee. People often joked that they were "addicted" caffeine. The debate over the effects of caffeine is addictive has been going on for years. However, for whatever reason, caffeine is still nicknamed the "cure" the most popular in the world and becomes a staple in the daily routine began.

Why Pregnant Women No Smoking

2011-08-15T23:36:00.000-07:00

Smoking is one threat to the fetus in the womb. However, it turns out quite a lot of pregnant women who remained stubborn and unwilling to quit smoking. At least in the United States found 12-24 percent of pregnant mothers continue to smoke.

In a recent study conducted by scientists from Loma Linda University School of Medicine found one of the dangers of smoking to the fetus. Mentioned that the fetus is exposed to nicotine will suffer high blood pressure when he was an adult. As a result, their risk of suffering a heart attack at a young age.

The study was conducted by measuring the effects of nicotine in fetal rats. However, if the same effect also occurs in humans, of course, the heart health of newborns need to be a concern.

Another study conducted in humans showed that children born to women smokers were damaged in the growth of the vascular system.

Since it is impossible to try nicotine exposure on the fetus, DaLiao Xiao and colleagues conducted a study in mice.

In the experiment, Xiao provides exposure to nicotine in 12 pregnant mice and placebo in 13 other tikut. Then the mice were born their health monitored until the age of five months to determine whether there is a sign of heart damage or impaired blood circulation.

In the fifth month, the baby mice from the group given nicotine had two classic symptoms of increasing the risk of heart disease, namely increased oxidative stress and hypertension.

Actually quite a lot of research showing negative effects of cigarette smoke to the fetus, for example, reducing the production of milk, a baby born with low weight, until the baby's growth is not optimal.

Therefore, do not let the baby go to secondhand smoke. Creating a healthy environment for the development of the child should start since he was in the womb.

Many People Not Aware, He Sick Soul

2011-07-12T20:37:00.000-07:00

Expert psychiatric North Sumatra University (USU) dr. Camellia SpKJ Vita, Friday (6/8/2010) said many people do not realize is having a personality disorder / mental or so-called obsessive compulsive disorder (Compulsif Obsessive Disorder).

This he said in a symposium and workshop Disorder and Obsessive Compulsif Using For Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) in Clinical Practice in Medan.

He pointed out that people who suffer from Obsessive Compulsif Disorder (OCD) in his hand there is fear of germs.

In fact, after washing with a very clean, will continue to feel in his hands there are germs that cause he continued to wash his hands repeatedly.

Periodically, this will cause the depression to psychiatric disorders. This disorder is characterized by thoughts, impulses, images, and ideas that rumination repeatedly called obsession.

The disorder usually occurs at age 22. Obsessive compulsive disorder is expected to operate two to three percent of the population in one area.

"However, until now to Sumatra can not dipersentasekan. Because so many people still are not aware of having the disorder," he said.

According to him, if the disorder is hidden or does one not know clinically, the effect will have an impact on depression to a mental disorder.

However, slowly the disorder can infect an individual, depending on the educational, social and economic background to the offspring.

For this reason, the Department of Life Sciences Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with USU Medicine Specialist Doctors Association of North Sumatra Indonesia Life held a symposium and workshop for the health, both general practitioners, specialists, psychiatrist to the student.

Symposium and workshop was intended for a general practitioner as the front line in the primary service that also requires some knowledge of this obsessive compulsive disorder.

"So as to provide first aid on his patients. Because although many studies and books have been written about this disorder, many psychiatrists still are asking what to do about the patient," he said.

Runway ASI Children's Intelligence

2011-07-06T00:46:00.000-07:00

Fulfillment adequate nutrition is a major requirement in the development of the child, including brain development. Malnutrition will decrease the quality of a human brain. Therefore, babies need a good food quality and quantity.

Forming the main component of the brain is fat and raw materials to form new nerve cells in the brain is protein. Milk (milk) as a major baby food rich in long chain fatty acids polyunsaturated fats that an important effect on the brain and intelligence. No wonder that babies who are breastfed are more intelligent.

In a study done by researchers from the University of Colorado, USA to 126 siblings from 59 families known to children who are breastfed tend to have better academic performance than those not breastfed.

"Children who are breastfed tend to his childhood smarter and healthier, so that their academic performance in school better," said the researcher, Daniel Rees, Ph.D.

This is the first study that uses data with respondents sisters to the exclusion of other factors, such as socioeconomic, family environment, and intellectual parents.

The sting of a Healthy Chili

2011-07-04T00:38:00.000-07:00

Taste spicy sting on the tongue when eating chili often make people give up even more that actually addicted. No wonder if there is a term kapok chili, which means that even if cured, but still looking for more.

Later known hot and spicy flavor of chili has many health benefits. Capcaisin, the chemical behind the spicy chili, in recent years attracted the attention of scientists to specifically studied.

Scientists discovered the link between the hot and spicy chili flavors with an antidote to the pain. Dr. Michael Caterina of the United States in his research group says capcaisin partially activate the nerves in the tongue, lips, and skin.

In this condition capcaisin responsible in detecting the stimulus of pain. In the future it is not likely to be created with the pain-reducing medication capcaisin main content.

In addition to the painkillers, according to the explanation of Dr. Ari F Sham, SpPD, capcaisin also have anti-inflammatory effects, improve appetite, and overcome constipation. "Chili can indeed increase the intestinal peristalsis thus stimulating a person to defecate," he said.

Besides capcaisin, peppers also contain vitamin C, A, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. "Chili can increase metabolism so calories are burned the better. This can be used for weight control," said the lecturer in the Department of Medicine Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia.

In patients with an ulcer, spicy and acidic foods are best avoided. "If it hurts magnya improved, still can eat chili though few in number," said the stomach and digestive health consultant is.

Given the many benefits of chili for the body, Dr. Ari says not agree if the consumption of chili should be reduced because of rising prices. "That someone would be more excited when eating chili," he concluded.

Worm Capsules Healer Typhus?

2011-06-27T00:44:00.000-07:00

Maybe you've heard or even tried the efficacy of the capsule of worms that he supposedly effective for curing diseases such as typhoid fever or typhoid.

Drugs that are packaged in capsule form was never included in the prescription medication given by doctors at the hospital. But these drugs can you get for free at places or herbal medicine shop. So, the question is, whether the drug actually been proven safe and what side effects?

According to Prof. Dr. Djoko Widodo, SpPD KPTI, until now he can not be sure what the contents of the capsules worms. But clearly says Djoko, from the medical team (doctor), never advise patients to use it.

"We do not recommend patients to use drugs that are not clear evidence basenya and there is no scientific evidence," he said during a seminar Handling Typhoid Fever In Everyday Practices, Hospitals Premier Jatinegara, Saturday (25/06/2011).

Although not yet know exactly what ingredients in these capsules worms, Djoko suspect capsule has a high protein content and good nutrition and vitamins. "So I thought, it's just like a worm capsule herbal extract during dengue fever," he added.

At the prompt response associated typhus there are some patients who recovered after taking it, Djoko said that he had little doubt that the healing solely from the worm capsule only. Djoko suspect there is another mixture in the capsule.

"We were scared there are also mixed anti-heat, antibiotics, penicillin, can not you? So on a mild infection can be cured.'s Hard when it bought a drug-free and already in the form of capsules, because it is not clear," he said.

Brain Drain Stress That

2011-06-23T21:39:00.000-07:00

There are times when stress is needed to spur achievement. But do not take lightly to repetitive stress, because it would be like a storm drain brain nutrients and led to various physical ailments.

Choose where, running from fire officials who used live ammunition during demonstrations demanding reform, or face the traffic is gridlocked for two hours because of the demonstration? Maybe you'll quickly say, "Not everything." But if you have to choose, usually people tend to choose the traffic jam.

Both situations would indeed cause the same reaction in our physical and psychic. Namely stress, and blood and adrenaline flowing. But when referring to the opinion of the endocrinologist in New York's Rockefeller University, Bruce McEwen, the authorities should select only shot. Even better than a hungry tiger chased facing traffic congestion. Kok, can?

McEwen had a reason. Running from the fire apparatus or from the pursuit of tigers will only bring stress that short even if it appears more daunting, while our bodies are designed to be able to deal with such situations. Another case of the old stress, repetitive, and chronic, our bodies are not prepared for it and consequently can damage the brain.

Stress or stressful situation physically and psychologically, is often regarded as a 'friend'. Called a friend, because there are times when the situation was actually able to generate pressure and productivity achievements. Therefore psychologists often counseled, stress does not need to be avoided or resisted, but manageable.

Unfortunately, not everyone is able to manage stress, resulting in many illnesses (physical) that arise. Starting from the ulcer, liver, heart, stroke, cancer and so on. Because of that slogan in a healthy body there is a healthy soul, no longer appropriate. The science shows, in the soul that there is a healthy body healthier.

Shaping Memory
"Feelings of disappointment and loss that occur in everyday life, stress is different every day, all make an impact," said Dra. Nilam Widyarini, MS., A graduate of the Graduate Program of Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta.

Lecturer at the University of Atmajaya Jakarta is then explained, the circumstances that cause stress, both physically and psychologically, will cause chemical reactions in the body's incredible. As soon as a person experiencing a stressful situation, the brain will send messages to the nerves to release adrenaline and other brain chemicals, to be sent as an energy to the muscles.

More importantly, there is a small part of the brain called the hippothalamus, will send a message to the pituitary hormone corticotrophin that drain into the blood. In turn, this hormone prompts the adrenal glands to release more stress hormones (glucocorticoids). This hormone will tell your body to flood the blood with sugar, to immediately have the energy to run away from danger.

Stress hormones appear particularly 'shocking' for the brain called the hippocampus. These sections play an important role in shaping memory.

In the guide book on stress entitled Why Zebras Do not Get Ulcers Robert Sapolsky explains that if successfully cope with stressful situations, we want to be able to remember other times in order to avoid it. In a very shocking event, usually memory will be sharpened. Perhaps this could explain, why it is hard to forget the tragedy of May Riot '65 or '98.

Repeated stress
Sometimes people experience stress repeatedly, and as a result of glucocorticoids will flood the brain. Over time, the benefits of stress hormones is lost, so the memory will get worse, the energy level down, and health problems arise. According to Sapolsky, within a few days of stress hormones increase, will weaken (even kill) hippocampal cells when oxygen supply is interrupted, as happens during a stroke or heart attack.

Traumatic stress as it occurs in children victims of sexual violence, veterans and victims of war, of course, are more likely to damage the brain. In the American Journal of Psychiatry explained that the average veteran right hippocampal brain is reduced by 8%. Child victims of sexual violence in the brains of left hippocampal size reduced 12%.

Another study carried out intensively for four years against a group of women known, they are often elevated stress hormones, on brain hippocampal decreases of 14%. From the examination of patients with depression are known, hippocampal size was reduced 19% compared to healthy people. Seeing the consequences are very bad, the only way to keep us healthy is as much as possible to manage stress.

How To Manage Stress
1. Take regular vacations.
2. Eat a healthful daily.
3. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco.
4. Do exercise regularly.
5. Practice some relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, breathing exercises.
6. Face the problems that occur in work or relationships (relationship), and solve.
7. Learn to recognize your own stress threshold, and do not push yourself to go beyond it.
8. Consider for a pet, because it can help you become relaxed.
9. Discuss your problem with an expert. Professional counselor can help to see the issue objectively, and put the problem in proper perspective.

When tonsil naughty

2011-06-12T22:44:00.000-07:00

Tonsils or tonsils actually serve as the body's defenses leading to conquer germs that come from the mouth. However, due to its function that tonsils can become inflamed or infected and should be removed.

There are several things that can interfere with thyroid problems, partly because of inflammation and bacterial infection. "If caused by infection would usually visible white patches on the tonsils. Sometimes tonsilnya swelling, but some are not," said dr.Agus Subagio, Sp.THT from RS.Puri Indah Jakarta.

Children who suffer from severe allergies also suffer from inflammation mostly tonsils (tonsillitis). "Children are often clogged nose, frequent colds usually from thyroid so easily exposed to the bacteria so inflamed. This can cause swelling tonsilnya," he said.

Condition characterized by inflammation of tonsils swollen tonsils, sometimes covered with a layer of white tonsils. Patients will experience a fever and difficulty in swallowing.

According dr.Agus, tonsillitis more experienced by the children because their immune systems lower making it easier to become infected germs and viruses. In addition, the child's throat was too small so more easily clogged.

"Because of the small throat, if tonsilnya swelling can certainly cause her airway closed," he said.

Enlarged tonsils can cause snoring which can cause the child Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSA), namely state of cessation of breathing during sleep. This causes the supply of oxygen to the brain will be reduced.

"As a result the child so often sleepy during the day, the concentration decreased learning, growth and even disturbed," he added.

Actions removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) is recommended to be done in a year if the child has experienced seven episodes of pain or inflammation of the tonsils lasted more than two weeks.

New Bacteria Strain Found in Milk Super

2011-06-06T15:22:00.000-07:00

Scientists in England find a new strain of "super bacteria" MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in cow milk samples. The new strains of germs have infected humans, although believed to be the experts would not be a serious threat. As published in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, clusters of new strains of MRSA bacteria are found in human and cow's milk that has not been pasteurized in England, Scotland and Denmark.

These findings assessed the researchers as "worrying". However, germs are resistant to several antibiotics is estimated will not cause infection by entry into the food chain through milk. This new strain of MRSA germs found by Mark Holmes and his team from Cambridge University in England, while researching the bacteria S. aureus, causes the disease bovine mastitis in cattle.

MRSA bacteria are estimated to kill 19,000 people each year in the United States, and the same number in Europe. Irrational use of antibiotics in recent decades has sparked increased drug-resistant bacterial infections such as MRSA and C-difficile. Last year, scientists warned of the presence of super bacteria from India named New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) which quickly spread throughout the world.

Meanwhile on Thursday (02/06/2011) yesterday, the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that E. coli bacteria that caused outbreaks in Germany is a highly toxic new strain.

Although it is not certain how to spread and nature of ferocity, the experts in Britain and the United States believe that the strain of MRSA is not a serious threat.

"This is not something that should make anyone nervous, unless you are a breeder in England. There is nothing that indicates that the germ is very dangerous and will be spread wide and took over an existing MRSA," said Dr. Gregory Moran, a professor of clinical medicine from the UCLA School of Medicine

"From a food safety standpoint, we believe the findings of MRSA in this dairy did not indicate a risk of any disease," Holmes said in the statement about the findings.

Laura Garcia-Alvarez, a member of the research team, also confirmed that heating the milk cows to prevent the risk of transmission through the food chain thing that interests these researchers are finding raises the question whether the cow barn can be a new strain of MRSA germs. "Although there is clear evidence that dairy cows can be shed infection, is still not known for certain whether the cattle transmit the disease to humans, or humans who transmit the disease to cattle. This is one of the many conditions that will further our study," he said. Scientists at the Health Protection Agency (HPA), England, who was also involved in the study said, although a new strain of MRSA was not detected by standard screening, the bacteria is not a serious threat. Recent investigations currently undertaken in the UK and Europe have proven able to detect it. "It's important to remember that MRSA is still treatable with some antibiotics and the risk of infection by new strains was very low," said Angela Kearns, head of the HPA laboratory Staphyloccocus

Broccoli, Plaintiff Friends of Women's Cancer

2011-06-04T18:47:00.000-07:00

Some types of vegetables and fruit has been proven to prevent the spread of cancer cells, the invincible one is broccoli. This dense green vegetables contain antioxidant compounds that help neutralize carcinogens.

Broccoli contains substances that stimulate the detoxification enzymes that help the body naturally eliminate toxins that cause cancer and dangerous.

Indole-3-carbinol, a substance found in broccoli, even very good for maintaining women's health. Research shows, this substance reduces the risk of breast cancer and cervical cancer, and help suppress the activity of cancer cells that already exist. The green is also loaded kemprefol flavonoids, which protect the body against ovarian cancer.

Excess broccoli not only because he was also a source of folic acid, vitamin B is needed to establish and protect DNA, producing blood cells, forming new cells, and synthesize proteins. Folic acid is also associated with reduced risk of cancer in adults.

There are several reasons why broccoli is a vegetable that is important for women's health. First, folic acid is a substance that is important for pregnant women to the development of the nervous system and prevent fetal brain defects and spinal cord.

Second, research shows, women are more prone to depression than men and depression associated with folic acid deficiency. The good news, increasing intake of folic acid effective to increase serotonin levels and reduce symptoms of depression.

Additional other bonuses, broccoli is a source of fiber, vitamin C, K, E, and A, and various important minerals. In addition, as a natural diuretic, broccoli helps reduce the symptoms of bloating and fluid retention before menstruation.

2011-05-20T08:30:00.000-07:00

It turned out that not only adults who perceive beauty through the form of a person's body. Children under four years old also thinks it is identical with slender-bodied beauty.

According to study experts, this is evidence of increasingly younger age children consume media.

Research in 2010 that was published in the Journal of Peditrics found 70 percent of preschool-age children watch television and play video games more than the time recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is no more than two hours each day.

In a study conducted in Australia by interviewing 160 children and young adults to assess the level of interest in women's bodies, the majority of respondents rated the most beautiful body is a normal weight. In fact, children age four slender woman was appointed as the most beautiful.

Previous studies published journal Body Image in 2010 indicated the perception of the beauty of the body shape has been started since the age of the children. In fact, in the journal Sex Roles found that children aged 3-5 years rather slim body.

Felicity Brown of the University of Queensland, Australia, said the media exposure on children greatly affects their assessment of body shape during adolescence. "Like adults, children also prefer slender women. In fact, they've caught the media messages about beauty slim body before they reach school age," he said.

Calcium, Bone Strength Lock

2011-05-19T15:49:00.000-07:00

Calcium is a mineral that has a very important role in the body. Once the importance of calcium, so if not consumed in sufficient doses, the body functions can be disrupted.

In addition to its main function to build and maintain strong bones and teeth, calcium is also useful to help regulate heartbeat, muscle growth, helps the transmission of impulses, as well as maintain the absorption of nutrients to the bones and teeth.

According to Ilyas dr.Elida, Sp.RM, calcium requirement of adults at least 1,000 milligrams per day. Needs kaslium increased in pregnant and lactating women and elderly people, which is equal to 1200 mg / day.

Based on the results of research in Indonesia, from various kinds of food consumed by a new calcium adequacy are met as much as 250 mg. To cover up his shortcomings, are advised to consume milk.

Calcium can also be obtained from foods that are consumed daily. For example in fish, cheese, and green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. In addition, cultivated get enough direct sunlight to enable the provitamin D under the skin into vitamin D which is essential for bone health.

But Elida stressed the importance of attention to the need to avoid excessive calcium.

2011-05-17T08:46:00.000-07:00

Anyone would agree that food or beverages such as fish, dairy products, soy and wine contain nutrients that are good for health. Many research and studies which are always linked these types of foods with beneficial especially with the risk of suffering a particular disease such as heart disease, cancer or any other health problems.

But not always research-from four types of food has always had positive results. There are times when a study showed positive results, and not infrequently revealed negative results or less significant. Here are four types of food that often invite experts in this debate menfaatnya for your body. One day this could be a healthful food for health, but on other days there is a claim to influence is not too big for your medical condition.

FISH
Old news: According to a large study, the habit of eating fish several times a week can help lower the risk of heart disease - ie more than about 30 persent

New news: It has been widely reported that not a fish that makes sense, but rather the fish-eating diets that promote overall heart health. A research published in the American Journal of Cardiology, stating this.

The reality: The latest research does not refute other research that supports that omega-3 fatty acids in fish may reduce risk of heart disease, said Nieca Goldberg, MD, author of The Women's Healthy Heart Program. Omega-3 also can enhance your mood and improve brain development in infants. Goldberg himself recommends eating two to three servings of fish each week (but not more than twice a week if you are pregnant) in order to obtain benefits.

SUSU
Old news: Consuming dairy products can help you lose weight. Differentiation of dairy products is small, but significant - you can reduce levels of body fat to 5 percent through a diet of milk products, according to a study conducted by experts from the University of Tennessee.

New news: Dairy products do not cause any impact on weight loss at all, according to latest research results. This discovery has made the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) - a nonprofit organization that promotes ethical and effective research - asking the Federal Trade Commission to stop the two ads promoting the benefits of milk for weight-loss program.

The reality: This debate has been stuck in political interest: A study conducted at the University of Tennessee funded by indsutri dairy products, and PCRM has fairly extreme views about nutrition and recommend a vegan diet (which of course does not include milk). However, experts have found that calcium can raise levels of kalsitrol, like hormones that cause your body to store fat in small amounts, and the impact will be more pronounced when the calcium obtained from foods rather than supplements. "You have to keep watching your calorie intake," says Jill Fullerton-Smith, author of The Truth About Food. "But I need the calcium, and if the product susus may also help reduce the extra fat, I will continue to eat low-fat yogurt while we test it through science."

WINE
Old news: Keep eating habits of red wine because it can help prevent heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's. The content of his magic in the form of anthocyanins - antioxidants found in grape skins used in making red wine - may prevent cell damage cause heart problems.

New news: White wine may be as healthy for the heart as red wine. Meat wine - which is used in the manufacture of red and white wine - contain antioxidants that are as strong as in the skin of grapes, according to new research

Fact: Further research on this matter needs to be done because according to Goldberg this study appear to still be assumed. Interestingly, other studies have revealed that beer and liquor also have the same benefits for health. This indicates that alcohol may be the one who makes the body more healthy. However, do not make it as an excuse to eat excessively. One or two drinks of alcohol each day may be healthful, but more than that can cause dapak bad for your body.

SOYBEAN
Old news: Soy is a great food or superfood. These foods can help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and others. Soy was first under the spotlight when researchers linked with lower heart disease cases among Asians who likes a diet rich in soy. Increasingly known in the U.S. Soybean pada1999 when the FDA allowed food labels contain the claim that 25 grams of soy protein may reduce the risk of developing heart disease.

New news: Soy is only a small impact for heart health, cancer, or reproductive health, according to results of a review of 200 types of research

Fact: Soy foods are rich in calcium and protein and unsaturated fats containing compound (polyunsaturated) are good for the heart. But experts say that eating more soy will not significantly reduce your risk of disease - unless you choose soy than other foods rich in saturated fat are not healthy.

The longer the ring finger of a man, the more likely she drew in her eyes. This is not just any myth. Scientists prove scientifically.

For this study, Camille Ferdenzi from the University of Geneva, asked 80 women aged 18 to 34 to see 49 photos of men. Each woman then asked for an assessment relating to the nature of masculinity and handsomeness. Ferdenzi also invited a group of smaller numbers of women to hear his voice and body smell (which has already been placed on cotton).

"We want to know what makes a man so attractive," said Ferdenzi. "Is there any relation with the environmental condition of the fetus?"

The result? The longer the ring finger when compared with the index finger, especially in the right hand, the greater the likelihood the man is considered attractive by the women involved in the study.

Comparison between ring finger and index finger is associated with the exposure of (Expose) the fetus to testosterone. The bigger the difference, the more the fetus exposed to testosterone. "We also found good looks associated with the symmetry of the face," said Ferdenzi.

The scientists found that the women can be different choices when asked to assess on the basis of body odor and sound. "Relationships body odor, sound, and ring finger length is not related directly. Possibly, because of body odor and noise caused by testosterone in adulthood, not before birth," Ferdenzi explained.

The study investigated the long finger is not just this time. The length of the fingers associated with the possibility of a person exposed to the disease, including prostate cancer. The disease is also known as associated with testosterone. The number of hormone exposure before birth also determine the likelihood that a person exposed to various diseases, such as breast cancer and osteoarthritis.

However, Les Stroud, Survivorman show star, said different things. He put the urine into the list of "do not drink" it. Eating urine to survive when in fact be exacerbating the vehicle.

When a person is less fluid, electrolyte content becomes excessive and acid concentration also increased. Drink it will only aggravate the condition.

Types of abnormalities that may be suffered by infants include heart is not fully developed, neural tube defects (spina bifida), or gastroschisis (bowel is outside the body).

Conclusions are derived from research by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States, which is one of the largest studies on the effects of opioids in pregnancy. The results of this research published in the American Journal of Obstretic & Gynecology. The study was conducted based on data the National Birth Defect Prevention Study involving pregnant women from 10 states who gave birth between the years 1997 to 2005.

Of the 17 thousand pregnant women who delivered babies birth defects, 454 or 2.6 percent reported using opioid analgesics type a month before pregnancy or in the first tri-semester of pregnancy. As a comparison of the control group, the use of opioids accounted for two percent.

"Opioids and their receptors act as growth regulators during embryonic development. This may lead to defects in the fetus," said Cheryl S. Broussard, chief researcher
