Goo health - Recent research indicates, those who regularly eat red meat and processed meat products (processed meat) are at greater risk of developing type-2 diabetes.

This was the conclusion of experts at the Harvard School of Public Health after analyzing hundreds of thousands of data of respondents who participated in long-term study in the United States.

The researchers found, by consuming 100 grams of red Dagi non-processed every day, a person's risk of type 2 diabetes has increased by 19 percent. This figure comes after researchers accounted for age and body mass index.

Meanwhile, the habit of eating 50 grams of processed meat, like sausage or about two slices of bacon, can increase the risk of diabetes by 51 percent.

"Clearly, the results of this study provide a great influence on people's health showed improvement with type 2 diabetes epidemic and the increasing number of people who eat red meat all over the world," said Dr. Frank Hu, associate professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard.

"The good news is threatening risk factors can be offset by replacing red meat with healthy foods that contain protein," he added.

Numerous other studies also warned against the dangers of consumption of red meat and processed meat. Two of these foods is associated with increased risk of colon cancer.

Goo health - A lot of myths circulating about the use of mobile phones or mobile (HP), especially the radiation caused by the communication device. That said, using cell phones can cause tumors and cancer. Really?

"To be honest until now there has been no definitive proof," said Andrew Weil, MD, Director of the Integrative Medicine Program at the College of Medicine, University of Arizona. Mobile phones are often considered to cause brain tumors because it is believed could deliver an electromagnetic wave.

However, the tumor itself takes a long time to develop, can be annual, it could be decades. Thus, this allegation remains to be seen again through the long-term research.

On the one hand, two recent reports invites us not to worry too much. After comparing the habit of calling a mobile phone more than 300 brain cancer patients with healthy people, Japanese researchers claim there is no relationship between the length of time on the phone with the possibility of cancer.

In addition, a six-year study in England around the mobile telecommunications technology and health also found no association between short term mobile phone use (less than 10 years) with brain cancer.
However, other researchers found different results. In Sweden, it was reported in 2006 that we have 240 percent greater risk of brain cancer is dangerous, precisely in the head near the ear that is often used for phone calls.

Other studies even say that using a cell phone for more than 10 years can double the risk of a kind of benign tumors called acoustic neuromas, also a dangerous tumor in the brain and nervous system are called gliomas.

In addition to brain cancer, fertility factors are also often disputed. According to the study, the longer he spoke at HP every day, fewer and fewer healthy sperm. However, the greater the number of abnormal sperm.

Well, while waiting for certainty, better wear a cell phone wisely. Keep the phone from the body by maximizing the use of hands free or wireless headset.

Beware of Brain Cancer Pain in the Head If peaking

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 1 Dec 2011 04:20:00 -0800

Goo health - You often have a headache that recurs in the same head? If so, you need to suspect the pain. Therefore, it is not possible, the pain was an early symptom of brain cancer.

Brain cancer is not as popular other cancers, such as cervical cancer or breast cancer. However, like most common cancers, brain cancer is a disease is silent (silent killer) is dangerous.

Because of its nature, the brain cancer is often detected only after entering an advanced stage. If the pain in the head has peaked, there is a possibility, the cancer had spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). If it were so, the cancer treatment becomes more complicated and risky. "Therefore, people need to do early detection of brain cancer," advises Fielda Djuita, radiology specialist Hospital Mochtar Riady Comprehensive Cancer Centre Siloam Hospitals Semanggi, Jakarta.

Symptoms of brain cancer

Brain cancer, usually, will be accompanied by symptoms that can be seen or felt directly by the patient. For example body convulsions, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, headache and taste. By medical experts, this condition is referred to as symptoms of increased intracranial pressure or brain. "If you experience these symptoms, there is a possibility, you are suffering from brain cancer," said Suhanto Kasmali, Head of Medical Services Mediros Hospital, Jakarta.

The patients who experience these symptoms, must first conduct a thorough examination of the head and brain. "It should be diagnosed as a whole because the brain is an important part of the body, but soft," said Suhanto.

As an organ of the body that regulates all body activity (multitasking), the brain consists of three parts, namely a large brain (cerebrum), cerebellum (cerebellum), and brain stem (brain stem). The brain plays an important role in one's life.

The brain is a dangerous place if the location or site of tumor development. "I'll tame, but still must be removed. However, because the brain is the organ that soft, very risky in providing treatment," said Fielda.

More dangerous, medical experts have not been able to deduce the cause of development of malignant tumors or cancer in the brain. To be sure, said Fielda, if brain cancer cases occur in children under the age of 17 years, most likely, the cause is genetic factors. Meanwhile, the causes of brain cancer in adults is still in the research experts.

Based on the opinion of medical experts, the growth of cancer patients in developing countries, like Indonesia, will be massive. About 100 people of every 100,000 inhabitants at risk of cancer, including brain cancer. Currently, the spread of brain cancer in Indonesia arguably still minimal.

According Fielda, every day, there are about 100 patients who were lining up to get the handling of radiology for cancer cure. Indeed, cancers need time to switch become malignant. But, it would be optimal if the cancer is detected while still benign. "If the level is still in early stages, the cancer can be cured and controlled," said a doctor who also served in this Dharmais cancer hospital.

Circumcision Reduce the Risk of AIDS to 60 Percent

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 04:59:00 -0700

Goo health - HIV / AIDS transmission can occur through sexual intercourse. However, if male circumcision (circumcision), the risk of transmission can be reduced by more than 60 percent.

In the international AIDS forum held in Rome, Italy, this week, experts presented the latest scientific evidence are three benefits of circumcision to prevent HIV infection.

"Circumcision is the prevention of simple, inexpensive, takes only 20 minutes and is done once in a lifetime," said David Lewis of the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

In a trial in 2006 in Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa, the risk of HIV transmission can be reduced by half. Long-term studies show circumcision has even greater benefits than is known.

The experts said the benefits of circumcision as a "vaccine through the operation" because it has a preventive effect of an effective and inexpensive.

For that, experts continue to campaign the importance of circumcision in men from the countries of sub-Saharan Africa that became "home" for one third of the 33 million people living with HIV / AIDS in the world.

In mid 2010 an estimated 175,000 procedures performed circumcision in over 13 countries which is a priority country under the World Agency for AIDS Prevention.

Recent studies conducted between 2007 and 2010 in the provincial city of Orange Farm, which has done 20,000 procedures sirkumisisi especially in the age group 15-24 years which is the most sexually active group.

In a conference in Rome diprensentasikan benefits of circumcision as follows:

- Men who were circumcised claimed they were more sexually aroused. This was revealed in a study of 316 men, average age 22 years who underwent circumcision procedure between February and September 2009.

A year after surgery, 220 men said they were sexually active and a quarter use a condom during sex. Approximately 87.7 percent said there was no difficulty in achieving orgasm after circumcision and 92.3 percent claimed more passionate.

- Newly circumcised men feel they are no different from uncircumcised men in practicing safe sex. The conclusion was the result of interviews with 2207 men in Kenya, six months postoperatively.

It is to answer the fears of experts that circumcised men will refuse to protect themselves from HIV infection.

Novel winner in 2008, Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, who discovered HIV as the cause of AIDS, said, excessive self-confidence in men who are circumcised have been well founded.

"No one can guarantee protection to 100 percent, even though the vaccine. Stop thinking one is enough safeguards. The procedures of circumcision is part of efforts to protect themselves but also the use of condoms," he said.

Protective benefit of circumcision is not found in women who have sex with men infected with HIV. The same also applies to homosexual men who have sex with people with HIV AIDS.

Trends in Switch On Heterosexual Transmission of HIV

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 04:43:00 -0700

Goo health - Since 2008, the trend of HIV / AIDS transmission is switched from drug addicts to heterosexual behavior. Of heterosexual behavior, the number of positive men with HIV / AIDS is higher than women, with the dominant age of 20-29 years.

For factors of drug addicts, it's been many therapies that have been done, so a lot of addicts who had recovered. Meanwhile, from his own heterokseksual factors, there is no regulation of commercial sex workers (CSW).

"PSK can go anywhere without being limited rules, and could carry the virus. This is what triggers an increase in cases of HIV / AIDS," he said in a Press Conference at National AIDS Conference IV in Yogyakarta on Wednesday (09/21/2011)

He added that HIV / AIDS cases in Indonesia have increased. Even today, the number of children who had positive HIV / AIDS are also more and more. According to him, it can happen because the child's mother had first brought the virus.

In Yogyakarta alone, the number of people living with HIV / AIDS also has increased eight percent from a year ago. Based Riswanto statement, Secretary of DIY AIDS Commission, the number reached 1363 people. Approximately 120 people of them, actually comes from outside Yogyakarta.

"For in Yogyakarta alone, the case also became the highest common factor heterosexual transmission of the virus. In fact, this is already happening in the junior high kids," he added.

Increase in HIV cases in Indonesia, according to Pernas AIDS Media Center IV, Syaiful W. Harahap because Indonesia does not have an early detection test.

"In Malaysia, there is a surveillance test imposed on all pregnant women. That way, from the very beginning, the HIV virus was so predictable," he explained.

Of the cases of increased HIV / AIDS in Indonesia, according to Yanri, not limited to just doing therapy for the prevention. He thinks there needs to be a health system that supports the involvement of various stakeholders.

One thing above all else, he added, there needs to educate the public on HIV / AIDS. Education can be done with the involvement of physicians in each clinic.

"The use of condoms in the community is still low. Since 2006, no more than 20 percent of men who use it."

The couple chose this style when they are in early stages of running a sex as a duty only, not to explore the pleasures of each pair. Standard position was also not "challenging", not like the style of woman on top, spooning, or reverse cowgirl.

However, you really should not give up the style of that standard. "Most people do not realize that the missionary allows many variations, and will let your nerves in a broader sense, as well as the ease of orgasm," said Lori Buckley, PsyD, sex therapist in Pasadena, California.

In fact, 33 percent of women say that the missionary is their favorite style, according to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. For men, at the top position also allows them to control the speed and prolong orgasms. Well, if you do not want the missionary position you become a real standard, first upgrade your movements.

When the he was on top, ask for it shifts to the top 5 cm so that the base of his penis directly aligned with your clitoris, says Ian Kerner, PhD, sex therapist who is also the author of She Comes First. Then, with your legs wrapped around her thighs, press your genital area together so you create the pressure, moving the rocking motion. When you are able to feel sensation in the clitoris, it means that your movements are correct.

Pull both knees to chestWhen couples are on top, pull your knees toward your chest (you can draw your hamstrings to help you do it), and put one or both of your feet flat on the chest. "Doing this can make the tip of his cock directly in contact with the cervix, and this sensation will be very exciting for women," said Sadie Allison, DHS, author of Ride 'Em Cowgirl.

Take controlAlthough your position at the bottom, does not mean you can not control the movement you want. Stick out one of your legs on his shoulders, while the other leg remains stretched out straight in bed (you can also bend your knees, with feet firmly on the bed dijejakkan). With the speed that you can set yourself, change the position of one leg so the foot is on his shoulders, and the other leg on the bed. Up and down movement of your feet will create a sensation of "sweep" the G-spot area with a vengeance, says Kerner.

Change the angle of penetrationWake your nerves by adjusting the angle of penetration. "Lie down, and asked the couple to put her knees as she sat between your legs, so her ass stuck in her ankle," says Lou Paget, sex expert and author of The Great Lover Playbook. "He can use his thigh strength to push forward, or ask him to hold your hips to control the speed."

This position will stimulate the bottom of the vaginal wall, which contains nerves that are often overlooked when you perform a standard missionary style.

Pressed his footContrary impression of movement at the top, but it also drew the feet can increase the pleasure you want. When penetration, bring your legs together in a state so that the legs are straight out of your feet. Then squeeze on you (like when you hold urination) to create friction between the lip Ms V with his penis.

"The entrance to the vagina-called inner and outer labia, filled with nerves that are activated with this type of shallow penetration," said Allison. You also can step back and hold on to the wall or the back of the bed to get more friction and resistance.

Prepare a "sex toy"Props greatest sex you can get straight in bed. "Put a pillow under your lower back to bring up your vagina," suggests Paget. "In this way, his penis will touch the front wall of the G-spot where you are."

To get a bigger thrill, try putting your palm on the buttocks, to control the speed and rhythm of movement.

The opportunity to have an orgasm together is also greater. To obtain this position he needs to lay himself on top of your body, but forward about 5-10 cm from the missionary position. Squeeze your legs straight, while the second leg pair is placed on either side of your foot. Thus, the penis will touch the clitoris directly. All you have to do is raising the hip down. This stimulation process is to be built slowly, but the result is a very intense clitoral orgasm for you.

5. Doggy styleArguably, this is the position favored by men. Touching The G-Spot from different angles allowing full stimulation of the penis, as well as if done from behind like doggy style. This position also gives the impression of wild, so it will encourage men and women. For you to easily enjoy this position, make sure you've done enough foreplay. To add to the sensation, he guided her hand to stimulate the clitoris.

6. Sideways position (side-by-side)This position will be beneficial for men who tend to experience premature ejaculation. By his side, space is limited, so the sex session would be longer and fun. Your role here is to move your pelvis constantly, so that the sensation has increased. The couple also will keep an erection. As in the missionary, sideways facing position also allows you to caress each other, staring, and praised the couple.

iPad Help Children with Impaired Vision

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 20:29:00 -0700

Goo health - iPad, a phenomenal output of Apple products, it could potentially become a tool to improve communication skills and eyesight of children who suffer from severe visual impairment. The experts even refer to a tablet computer creations of the late Steve Jobs could be a tool "modifier therapy of life".

Membrane disturbance of vision is severe neurological disorder caused by damage to the brain so that children are not able to interpret visual information.

Muriel Saunders, researchers from the University of Kansas Life Span Institute, doing research on how children respond to the buttons adaptive, a device used to teach children with special needs and abilities related to early language development, using the iPad.

"We gave 15 children aged three to four years who suffered damage to the lining of sight to play with the iPad. The result was astounding. They not only look directly at people and objects but also focus on the rays of the iPad and interact with objects on the screen," says Saunders .

Children with impaired vision membranes usually do vision therapy with parents and therapists wear shiny boxes, boxes that are often used as a doctor to see the results of x-rays, so they are easier to see the light and objects in high contrast.

"People who suffer from impaired vision bsia membrane spend much time looking at the light. They sometimes just sit and watch the light from inside the house or see the sunlight from the window. They can see something through, but they do not see faces and objects. So they are like the blind , "he explained.

iPad, which can be like a box bersiinar, has an application called Baby Finger, where children can knock pictures and colors that appear in the form of a white background.

"With the application child is able to interact with objects that previously had never seen the parents," added Saunders who is now being put forward a proposal to conduct national research on the benefits of IPAD as a therapeutic tool.

Parents of children with visual impairment were the first to realize that the iPad potential as a therapeutic tool. However, according to Saunders so far there has been no formal research conducted to assess the ability of the iPad in helping children with special needs.

Meanwhile iPad is also known to help children with autism to adapt to sensory overload. "IPad not only helps them interact with the screen but also help them how to control what he sees on the screen," said Saunders.

He added that early intervention in the lives of children with special needs are very important in its development, including improved visual function as adults. With proper technique, brain cells can be stimulated to begin to understand what the eye sees, so the ability to recognize images increases.

"IPAD can bring enormous benefits, especially in the ability to see the kids," he said.

Steve Jobs, Pancreatic Cancer, Smoking and Diabetes

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 7 Oct 2011 05:13:00 -0700

Goo health - Steve Jobs is pancreatic cancer, just like actor Patrick Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer in September 2009. Here is a little about pancreatic cancer who quoted from Sol Goldman, John Hopkins Medical Center and WebMD. This article is part of the book Fat Loss Weight Loss DIABETES notes which will be released shortly. Diabetes is associated with the pancreas.

Another thing that attracted me to share the coincidence is that I learned marketing, so it is quite familiar figure of Steve Jobs, though not a Apple user. Steve Jobs's health was observed to be interesting, because the stock price of Apple shares Steve's health is influenced by rumors.

For example, when Steve did not seem healthy at a MacWorld show in 2009, Steve said he "was in a hormonal imbalance". Then when he announced it will undergo maintenance, Apple's stock price fell. Every time a rumor circulated, whether genuine or fake about Steve's health, then the share price will fall.

Steve Jobs is known pancreatic cancer. And the following is a general idea of pancreatic cancer.

The pancreas is a gland that shaped tube, about 15 cm which is located at the back of the abdomen. The main task for the human body produces an enzyme that helps adalh intestines break down food, and produce the hormone insulin, which helps blood sugar regulation.

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death of both men and women and is one of the most deadly cancers, also known in medical circles as the "silent killer" America 38,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and 34,000 of them will die of it.

This cancer can be treated if in fact discovered in the early stages of cancer but the problem is difficult to diagnose early stage. In the early stages of cancer do not feel any symptoms. However, along with the magnitude of the growth of cancer, then it will feel pain in your upper abdomen that spreads to the back left.

The pain becomes when people affected by cancer eating or lying down. Another symptom that appears is the alias of yellow jaundice. Ability to survive for 5 years is 25 percent if the cancer surgery and was appointed as a child and has not spread.

Anyone who is at greatest risk for pancreatic cancer? The following are the factors that influence the incidence of pancreatic cancer:

1. Heredity. If there are 2 or more relatives who suffer from pancreatic cancer.
2. Ashkenazi Jewish descent
3. BRCA mutations
4. Age above 50 years
5. Heavy smokers.
6. Diabetes
7. Others, such as chronic liver disease, obesity, lack of exercise.

The first three factors mentioned above is that most can not be controlled. Yet a fourth factor that aging is not controllable, because the chronological age of the person continues to grow. However, the age of the body can be restored. One way is to conduct a comprehensive hormone therapy.

The fifth factor is smoking is a factor which I give special attention. According to John Hopkins, smoking is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, and as we know, cigarette consumption in this country is enormous. Requires attention to all the people in Indonesia, that due to smoking is more than just lung cancer.

Premature deaths resulting from smoking is to worry about. Premature death means the loss of valuable talent that needed a very expensive enterprise, institution, organization in this country to move forward.

The sixth factor is diabetes. Patients with pancreatic cancer, 10-20 percent are diabetic. Diabetes is a risk that can fakor in "managed" with a healthy lifestyle. Key words diabetes is heredity, and lifestyle. Heredity certainly can not be changed, but the lifestyle can always be modified.

Several risk factors for diabetes is the originator of an overdose of sugar which causes fatigue pancreas, and foods rich in fat, especially trans fats found in palm oil, and sold at various fast food. Consumption of both the "back up" by monosodium glutamate, aka MSG, which reinforces a sense.

However, if you want to trace a bit, we need to think critically, what motivates people to become like the food, which eventually lead to diabetes.

One is the stress (suitable for the condition of Steve Jobs), either in the form of job stress, stressful romantic relationships, financial stress. One solution is to actually find a solution to this stress, teaches new healthy lifestyle. That is, who needs to be changed is mindsetnya, demonstrated a new way, and given examples of how to do it.

All companies, organizations, ionstansi, should make healthy living training mindset changes. Because if negligent, could make an impact for the overall team strength, especially if the affected are executives in high positions such as Steve Jobs.

Either smoking or diabetes, to change lifestyle, it takes more than just an appeal. But the need of conditioning. Because it takes is a change in mindset. Changes in behavior, which has been heralded, will not give any results without a change in mindset. The change means changing the subconscious mindset that needs special techniques to do it. Not just an appeal. Should be standard procedure. Part of the obligation.

If the organization still wants changes to improve performance, it's time to corporate health strategy to be one competitive advantage that is applied in the company. Changing the mindset, change the behavior so change the results. Thus, we can reduce the risk of premature loss of talented people like Steve Jobs of Apple lost.

Often times you need a solution, but reluctant to keep taking painkillers head-counter. For that, you can try the following ways, in order to relieve pain and get back on the move.

The experts still have not discovered why this therapy can be effective, but suspected a cold compress can slow blood flow and reduce inflammation. Meanwhile, a hot compress to increase blood flow and relieve pain.

Drinking coffeeFor mild headache scale, sipping coffee with caffeine could be a "cure" that works. Caffeine inhibits adenosine, a neurotransmitter that can cause blood vessels to dilate and create pressure. Drinking beverages containing caffeine headache coming shortly after may help relieve pain. However, unfortunately this only applies to those who rarely drink coffee, or consumption is not more than 1 cup a day. If you are heavy coffee drinkers, could be a "cure" is less responsive.

"Peppermint is proven to relieve tension in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as relieve symptoms of headache," said Audrey L. Halpern, MD, director of the Manhattan Center for Headache and Neurology.

In addition, the neurochemical changes in the brain due to attacks of headache can also affect parts of the brain that creates a feeling of nausea, continued Halpern. Well, peppermint tea will also help relieve discomfort. Important: When you're pregnant, you should not take peppermint without consulting your doctor.

Number of People Fat People Hunger Exceeded

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 1 Oct 2011 04:03:00 -0700

Goo health - The number of people who are overweight globally excess has now exceeded the starving population. However, suffering from malnutrition due to food crisis continues to rise. Warned that the International Federation of Red Cross delivered.

In its annual report titled World Disaster Report that specifically talk about nutrition, they highlight the gap between rich and poor, as well as problems caused by rising food prices.

Regarding access to food, the Red Cross also pointed out that in 2010 there were 1.5 billion people who suffer from obesity, while there are 925 million people are still starving.

"If there is 15 percent of the population are starving while 20 percent are very overweight, surely there is something wrong here," said Bekele Geleta, secretary general of the International Federation of Red Cross said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the director of Asia Pacific Jagan Chapagain described the situation as scandalous a double-edged. Excess nutrients are now more kills than hunger.

The problem of hunger in the world happens not only because of the lack of food, said Chapagain, but also because of poor distribution, waste and high prices so that food is not affordable.

Globally in 2011 was a sharp increase in food prices, so it is feared would trigger a crisis like in 2008 which led to riots and political instability in many countries.

Increasing food prices, according to the agency dibabkan also because of climate change and trade in commodities speculation. "Inflation in food prices lead poor countries become poorer and this situation triggers hunger," he said.

The World Disaster Report is an annual report published by the agencies to highlight some global problems. In 2010 and their emphasis on issues of urbanization, in 2009 on HIV and health.

Sex Can Relieve Headaches

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 06:15:00 -0700

Goo health - If the headache is attacked, it would do anything to be uncomfortable. Head-senut senut, tense neck muscles, sometimes the eyes are also sore. Some people apply a different treatment. There is a direct swallowing headache medicine, installing patches on his neck, sleep, and so forth. But if the headache is often the case, medications such as what to do?

Acupuncture Perhaps, this is the most popular treatments that you already know. "Acupuncture is running a mind-body connection and to help patients cope with pain," said Dr. Traci Purath, MD, Medical Director at the Comprehensive Headache Care, Wheaton Franciscan Medical Group in Franklin, Wisconsin. Some needles will be inserted at specific points in the neck, forehead, and cheeks, to divert the pain. The needles are very thin and flexible so you will not feel it penetrating the skin. After diakupunktur, he said, patients will usually feel the relaxation in the whole body. The body feels light, and you are so nice to sleep.

Sex You never say no to sex of the husband by reason of dizziness? Maybe you need to change the strategy because sex can actually eliminate the headache! "Natural endorphins, hormones and painkillers are released when you have an orgasm, which will help you to relax and calm," said Dr. Purath. However, this effect will quickly pass. So you should still prepare a painkiller that your usual consumption.

Sport If your headaches occur regularly, perhaps this time you should make exercise part of your lifestyle. "When you move around, you increase your stamina, reduce stress, and sleep more soundly," said Jan Brandes, MD, assistant clinical professor in neurology, Vanderbilt University. "The harder the training, jogging, brisk walking, or swimming-growing reduced pain, "he added. But if you suffer from migraines, exercise routine can actually make it worse.

Water This is the actual recipe you already know all along. Drink 8 glasses of water every day because dehydration is a major cause of headaches. "When the body does not have enough water, your body will begin to retain fluid that has been stored, and find different ways to tell that the body is dehydrated (with a headache that)," said Dr. Purath. As soon feel a headache, get to drinking lots of water. However, not to excess; excess fluid can reduce the levels of electrolytes and sodium in your body.

Snacking Hunger also often cause you a headache. Unfortunately, you often do not realize that your stomach is empty because it was too busy working. When the body does not get food intake, blood sugar levels will drop, causing you to experience hypoglycemic headaches. That is, the body starts demanding food intake. Eat snacks that are crunchy, like apples, will soon relieve pain, and helps blood sugar levels back to normal. Avoid snacks such as candy bars, to replace the blood sugar because it will only make you demand more, according to Dr. Purath. Food that is not recommended is because bananas bananas actually trigger headaches.

Caffeine Besides being able to drive sleep, a cup of coffee in the morning also has other benefits. A number of caffeine may help control headaches. It was explained Dr. Brandes. In addition, caffeine can also help the body to absorb the treatment of migraine with better through the stomach lining. Caffeine can also control the pain of headache attacks by narrowing the blood vessels. Nevertheless, for some people caffeine actually cause headaches. So, consume with caution.

Sleep Not all people have the luxury to be able to sleep 8 hours a day. Sleeping less than 8 hours is what often causes headaches. Our bodies need sleep (uninterrupted) at least 7 hours a day to refresh and replenish itself so that the pain disappeared. Dr. Purath advised to stick to a regular sleep schedule and wake up at the same hour every day. Sleeping too much or less, even if only 1 or 2 hours, can trigger a migraine.

Biofeedback Biofeedback is done by monitoring the body's response to pain, and examine the ability to control feelings so that pain can be arranged. The electrodes are attached to the forehead, forearm, and neck (areas that are most strained during the headache occurs), then linked to a monitor so you can see the muscles are stretched. Soon, the brain will remember how the muscles contract, and tried to relax. This session should be done 6-8 times in order to obtain results.

6 Organic Food Myths

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:23:00 -0700

Goo health - TREND eating organic foods are starting to increase along with awareness of the importance of dietary factors on health. Some people even willing to spend a larger budget to get a fruit or organic vegetables in the country is relatively still somewhat more expensive than the ordinary kind.
Eating organic food is consistently believed to be an attempt to defend themselves from the threat of various diseases. Organic foods are considered healthy because during the process of planting until harvest did not undergo a process of chemical or synthetic materials, such as pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers with chemical content, hormone injections or antibiotics, as well as the process without ionizing radiation or genetic modification. Therefore, the natural processes that are safe for consumption by the body.

Although healthful, organic food is actually not all favorable. There are several myths surrounding organic food to be straightened. By understanding it, you can use organic foods properly.

1. Organic is always safe and good for the environment?Organic is grown on uncontaminated soil or sprayed with chemical pesticides and other chemical species as well as ordinary farmland. However, since organic farms produce only half of the production of conventional farming, organic cultivation of waste land into the cultivation of fruits and vegetables.

Dennis Avery of Hudson Institute's Center for Global Food Issues estimates that modern farming system saves up to 15 million square meters of forest clearing and habitat of wild animals. If the whole world had to choose organic cultivation, we have to sacrifice the forest for up to 10 million square miles of forest.

2. Organic more nutritious?Various studies on organic foods are not always consistent. Some call the content of vitamin C in organic tomatoes more than ordinary tomatoes; another found levels of anti-cancer flavonoids in organic corn and strawberries. But other studies that organic food has no more advantages in terms of nutritional content. What makes the biggest difference in nutrients is how long grown and stored on the shelves of food. Spinach, for example, could lose half of foliatnya levels in the intervening week.

3. IT TASTES BETTER?Nothing can express it except in a study of apples, where organics are more superior. To get a taste more natural raspberries or sour-sweet, you have to buy produce that's locally grown, in season and are not stored in the long term. In fact, fruit or vegetable will no longer be at its best when it passed a long flight or passing through the coating process. Not to mention having to remain for a week in the markets or shops.

4. No need to be washed very clean like normal food.The whole organic products, whether purchased from a grocery store or local farmers near your home, is susceptible to contamination with bacteria such as E. coli. Soil and water sources contaminated with E. coli can attach to and enter the fruit or vegetable. Melons, lettuce, bean sprouts, tomatoes, spinach, green onions, can be contaminated with type they grow close to the ground. The best way to deal with is: Wash all products with running water.

5. 'RE SUPPORTING small farmers or environmentally friendly company?Giant corporations in the U.S. actually do business in the organic sector. General Mills has Cascadian Farms, Kraft is behind the Back to Nature and Boca Burger. Kellogg's owns Morningstar Farms. The high demand makes these companies importing organic ingredients as cheaply as possible from other countries. Although the value of sales of organic food products in the U.S. jumped by billions of U.S. dollars, ironically, only about 16 percent of it is grown on local lands. With the CO2 generated from transportation, organic products for the environmental friendliness becomes questionable.

6. Organic is healthier for you?Organic food is no longer healthy if the shape has become an organic chips, organic or baking soda organic. Sugar from cane sugar organic remains, from potato chips fried in organic remains.

Why Organic Food More Expensive?

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:15:00 -0700

Goo health - We will start eating organic food, we might be worried about cost overruns. Not surprisingly, many people associate the concept of organic with higher prices. When observed, agriculture and organic farming was to cost around 50-100 per cent larger than the ordinary type.

There are many things that became the reason. For example, most organic farming and ranching business has a smaller scale than the ordinary farm or ranch. In addition, more work needs to grow crops and raise livestock without the aid of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and drugs. Plus, spending on organic feed for livestock also costs twice as much as usual.

Actually, we do not need to replace all food ingredients be organic. If worried about the content of pesticides, buy organics for food most often consumed every day (read the Organic Foods More Nutritious Not Always). In order for monthly expenditure does not necessarily swollen, apply these steps:

* Buy in bulk when we can spend it, or save it before it breaks.
* Customize your menu plan with foods that are special promo price.
* Compare prices of fresh organic material, frozen, canned, or dried. Whatever the form of packaging, organic ingredients can still feel pleasure during processed appropriately.
* Shop at the supermarket that has organic food business.
* Grow your own organic fruits and vegetables in the yard.

If the situation does not allow for shopping too often organic ingredients, we can reduce the levels of pesticides in food by washing vegetables and fruits with liquid dishwashing soap. Use a brush if possible, then rinse with water flowing through the remnants of soap is lost completely. For fruits such as musty, pears, and peaches, peeled before being given to children. However, do not forget that eating fruits and vegetables contain non-organic pesticides, although still better than not eating vegetables and fruit at all.

What also needs to be observed, switch to organic food does not guarantee it would feel more comfortable. There is no real evidence to warrant this. However, organic food is usually fresher because it does not contain preservatives, and must be consumed immediately. The more fresh food, the more delicious flavor.

More Healthy with Organic Foods

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:12:00 -0700

Goo health - To keep the body healthy, we need the intake of foods that have good nutritional value and proven safety. One way that can be considered to fulfill it is to choose organic foods.

Organic food is all kinds of food derived from living organisms (animals and plants) that have no additional chemical content, (pesticides, insecticides, and hormones).

According to naturopathy experts DR. dr. Siregar Amarullah Ph.D long ago, the benefits of organic foods have been examined to improve the ability of the body against degenerative process, prevent exposure to free radicals, cell regeneration and optimization of antibodies.

"In fact, some research suggests, organic milk has more nutritional content of 60-80 percent compared to conventional milk. Whereas, such as tomatoes, potatoes, onions, cabbage has a 20-40 percent more antioxidants than conventional fruit and vegetables," he said.

Amarullah also said that, for healthy living organically is not always expensive. This can be tricked by the plants begin menananam home.

"Kan do not have to buy at the supermarket. Now the problem, that we can organically grow your own. For example, like planting spinach, mustard greens, kale, is not it stay planted in pots," said Amarullah.

According Amarullah, had actually been there from the government program that encourages every household to plant all sorts of plants that are to be consumed alone, called the Family or Toga Medicinal Plants. But unfortunately, the program can not teralisasikan well.

In fact, with the toga is expected in the future people are not easy to get sick. How, by eating a healthy diet-cultured itself and is guaranteed free of chemicals.

"Like the farmers in Bantul after eating, organic food, so the less the pain level. So for example once a month illness, with perhaps only once a year it's sick, "he explained.

Amarullah also emphasized, Toga basically not for treatment, but rather to plant vegetables are healthy, thus preventing illness. "Toga is not a cure concept, the concept is to make people healthy with the food. That's exactly the mission of family medicine plants," he said.

Jakarta environmental conditions that are no longer green, the concept of Toga is very likely to be applied. But the problem is that so, how much awareness of healthy people to want to live organically, which it can be started from each environment first.

Organic Food Extend Life Expectancy

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:10:00 -0700

Goo health - Switching to organic food seems to be considered as an alternative to a more healthy life. Because the use of chemicals in food products on the market today could potentially pose a threat and the alleged originator of the onset of various diseases.

A recent study published the journal Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences shows that eating organic food products (fruits and vegetables) every day in moderation may extend life, keep your body healthy and maintaining ideal body weight remained.
Organic foods can be defined as all foods produced with as little as possible or entirely free of chemical elements (fertilizer, peptisida, hormones, and drugs).

According to a study by experts from Britain, France and Poland, fruits and vegetables that are grown without artificial fertilizers generally contain more nutrients, including vitamin C. Thus, consumption of organic food can extend the average lifespan of a man 25 days, and the woman 17 days.

"They're a bit lucky to be alive even longer a few months and even up to five years," said the researchers.

Dr Kirsten Brandt, the lead researcher from Newcastle University, as well as observers about the quality of food and health said, organic food can increase the quality of a person's health in general. In addition, plays an important role in helping the body burn fat and maintain ideal body weight remained.

"The numbers are quite relevant, based on all information available. Most people probably will not live long, but you can get some luck to extend the life of several months, and even up to five years, by eating organic foods," he concluded.

Found, Virus Busters Cancer Cells

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 20:29:00 -0700

Goo health - Research to discover a cure for cancer continues to be completed by specialists from all over the world. Now present a speck of hope for cancer patients following the discovery of a matchless kind of virus by scientists in Europe.

In the latest study, researchers from LIFE - Faculty of Life Sciences, the University of Copenhagen Denmark found that the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) has a great potential that was not historicallyin the past known. The virus has great abilities that is, kill the cancer cells as well as cease the expression of definite molecules of the type of hidden cancer cells in the immune technique.

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a rhabdovirus. This virus originated from the same relatives with the rabies virus, & causes a disease similar to foot & mouth disease in cattle.

According to researchers, some types of cancer cells known to express immunostimulatory molecules are a lot liquid, thereby blocking the ability of the immune technique to recognize them, & permit these cells evolve toward cancer

"Excessive expression seen in cancers such as melanoma, testicular cancer, ovarian cancer & definite types of leukemia that significantly destroy the immune technique, thus reducing the chance of recovery of patients," Soren Skov, associate professor of immunology of LIFE.

Skov was the leader of a research team that recently launched a major project in the European Union to study the potential to improve cancer treatment by strengthening the immune technique. In part of his research are also published in the Journal of Virology, the researchers infected human cancer cells with VSV.

"We could show that the virus (VSV) can kill cancer cells. The results also showed that the VSV is highly effective in inhibiting the production of immunostimulatory molecules - which act to destroy the immune system-and thus would permit someone to survive," says Skov.

Important breakthrough

"The next step will be clinical trials in humans. The check has been conducted in the United States," said Helle Jensen, a researcher who has conducted research in the LIFE project in collaboration with the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Copenhagen and the National Veterinary Institute at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

Skov evaluate these findings as a breakthrough that is clear as well as a giant leap towards better cancer treatment, where the immune process will be able to more effectively cease the progression of cancer. Skov hope in the future these findings can be an alternative to chemotherapy, and tailored to each patient's illness.
