Sleep, most important: Quality!

2012-02-11T04:52:00.000-08:00

It was common knowledge that the experts recommend eight hours of sleep in one day. If not possible, then prioritize sleep quality, not quantity. It was delivered by Professor of Psychiatry Faculty of Medicine University Prof. Dr. Dadang Hawari, the seminar New Treatment Option of Insomnia in Jakarta, Saturday (11/10).

"According to experts, sleep a good 8 hours a day. But today's modern man rarely like that. But no matter, sleeping less than 8 hours as long as the quality. In other words, the important thing is not ever sleep but the quality," said Dada.

However, Dada suggested that sleep not less than 6 hours a day. According to him, not really a question of whether a bed made on the day or night. "For example, there is a work night shift so that hours sleep during the day. No problem, all the people were already familiar, hard-wired into his brain and he did not feel troubled by it, can still sleep well," said Dada.

Meanwhile, the doctors of the psychiatry faculty of medicine RSCM Nurmieti Dr. Amir SpKJ say, sleep is highly individual. The quality of one's sleep is characterized by fresh or not a person when awake.

"The size is easy, fresh or not when I wake up. If he is less than 8 hours but just wake up refreshed, not exactly insomnia," said Nurmieti.

About what is the difference between physiological sleep (sleep without medication, happen naturally) and physiological sleep with the aid of drugs, in view of Nurmieti will produce a different quality of sleep.

Sleep is the best, he argues, is a physiological sleep. Therefore, the body was brought to sleep naturally and not forced. To obtain physiological sleep quality, the key is self control.

Many Doctors Advise increasingly Meditation

2011-12-20T23:29:00.000-08:00

A growing number of physicians who not only rely on pharmaceutical drugs to cure his patients, but also complementary therapies like yoga or meditation. Data in the United States shows, 3 per cent of patients there doing the balance of body and soul therapy because her doctor recommendations.

Once surveyed, was more than 3 percent of people doing the therapy at the instigation of his doctor. The study was conducted by the National Health Interview Survey in 2007 to 23,000 households.

The survey showed 6.3 million people use the balance of body and soul therapy based on physician recommendation and 34.8 percent do so on their own initiative. The group that followed the doctor's advice in general have poorer health.

"The doctors recommend their patients to perform complementary therapies as a last resort when conventional therapies fail. Therefore, we suspect, if complementary therapy is done early on, perhaps a better outcome," said Dr.. Aditi Nerurkar from Harvard Medical School who did this research.

The same trend can also be seen in urban areas in Indonesia. Although not recommended doctors, complementary therapies such as yoga or meditation is now more easily found, even included in the program at fitness centers.

According to dr. Surjo Dharmono, Sp.KJ (K) of the Department of Psychiatry Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, a kind of meditation therapy is recommended to the patient not to treat the disease. "The goal is to reduce the stress of the illness. When stress is reduced, will increase the body's immune disease that is expected to recover faster," he said, who met some time ago.

2011-12-20T18:54:00.000-08:00

Appearance MD, burglary suspect in the bank, who was plump with large breast size led to speculation among the public about the possibility he was doing the breast enlargement surgery.

Regardless of whether the MD is to undergo cosmetic surgery to improve her appearance, breast enlargement procedures (breast augmentation) is included in the popular plastic surgery in Indonesia.

Greater community interest to make improvements on her body recognized by dr.Laurentius Ariawan, Sp.BP, a plastic surgeon from Clinique Suisse Jakarta. "Within a month I usually do breast implants in patients 3-4. But in a given month can be 10 patients a month," he said when contacted.

According dr.Ariawan, if done by a competent doctor in plastic surgery, breast implant surgery is safe. "The process should really be sterile and must be worn implants made of silicone gel, not liquid," he said.

Liquid silicone proficiency level is a dangerous substance because it is actually grease or engine oil and hazardous if entry into the body tissues.

"The first two years may shape is still good, but after that will be stretched and sagging. Just look at the person doing the beheading of the nose with liquid silicon," he said.

For breast implants, the material used is silicone gel breast that will be palpable as the original. Nevertheless silicone gel are also various kinds.

"Want a cheap or expensive there. But the cheap-cheap it is usually easily breakable. Implants are basically good is dense but soft," said a doctor who took the specialization of plastic surgery in Belgium.

For women in Indonesia are on average small breasted, usually doctors use implants measuring 400-500 cc. Breast implants are usually of good quality can last up to 20 years. 'If the implants are cheap or made in China 3 years must be replaced, "he added.

Although the use of implants, but according to dr.Ariawan breast can still be sensitive to the stimulus, does not even interfere with the process of breastfeeding. 'If the implants size large enough at first was somewhat less sensitive but within 6 months is usually normal again, "he said.

Unfortunately, the procedure adds to the size of the breast is relatively expensive. For a pair of breasts that you desire, at least you have to spend about 40 million dollars.

What we asup, good food and drink will affect the quality of sperm produced. That's why leading a healthy lifestyle is an absolute requirement to prepare seeds and increase the chances of pregnancy.

A diet that is recommended for quality sperm cells are rich in fresh fruits, a little red meat, and grains. Stay away from all alcohol and coffee. So advice to researchers from Brazil in their study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility.

In their study, the men who followed the IVF program will have a good sperm cell if you follow these healthy eating. Sperm quality is an important requirement for a healthy pregnancy and baby are desirable reached.

"Guidelines for healthy living is not just for men but also women. Couples who want to become pregnant should avoid bad eating whenever possible," said Dr.Lynn Westphal, fertility expert from Stanford University Medical Center, California.

In a study in the Brazilian team of researchers involved 250 men and their partners who are following the fertility program ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) or injection of one sperm cell to the egg.

The men were interviewed about their diet, like eating vegetables, fruits, fish, and the habit of drinking alcohol or coffee.

Researchers are also taking their seminal fluid samples to analyze how healthy and concentration of their sperm. Each stage in the IVF process was also followed.

About three-quarters of the sperm cells to fertilize the egg successfully during the study and about 4 in 10 women successfully pregnant.

When observing the movement of sperm, the man who turned out bad diet and obesity tend to have lazy sperm cells to swim and low concentration. Smoking habits also have a negative impact on sperm motility, as well as alcohol and coffee drinking habits.

The success of embryo implantation and pregnancy is also lower if the hobby man eating red meat. On the other hand, the habit ... grains (like oats or wheat) related to the amount and movement of sperm is good. Consumption of fruit will also increase the agility of sperm.

The results of this study are consistent with studies that suggest some kind of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids help improve the quality of sperm. Meanwhile, consumption of alcohol and processed meat that damage sperm.

According to researchers, by adding a combination of various spices such as turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, and peppers to the diet significantly help to reduce levels of triglycerides and insulin.

"Antioxidants such as spices may be important in reducing oxidative stress and thereby reduce the risk of chronic disease," said Sheila West of Penn State University and colleagues.

In the experiments, researchers involved six men who have excess weight was 30 to 65 years. In the first part, regularly volunteers ate chicken coconut milk, white rice, cheese bread, and desserts such as biscuits. After about a week, the volunteers switched to consume foods with spice mixture. Then the menu was processed into chicken curry chicken, sandwiches and biscuits herbal concoction of cinnamon.

Furthermore, researchers took blood samples of participants before meal and every 30 minutes during the nearly four hours afterward. They found that the addition of spices to significantly reduce the insulin response (21 percent) and triglycerides (31 percent), although no effect on glucose.

2. less concentration

Notice if today you open three different sites in 5 minutes or alternate readings. Lack of sleep does make us difficult to focus.

3. forgetful

The brain needs sleep to refresh and renew itself. Without it, the short-term memory impairment would occur.

Eggs, Good or Bad for Your Health?

2011-07-20T21:38:00.000-07:00

Eggs are foods that are often dubbed superfoods. In eggs there are a variety of essential nutrients from proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and good fats. A single large egg contains only 70 to 80 calories, and sufficient 10 percent of daily protein needs, as well as in it there is iron, minerals and B vitamins (riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12).

However, eggs are also often have a bad reputation as a high-cholesterol foods. So, do we need to limit egg consumption or avoid it altogether?

The truth is that eating eggs is not bad for health. The fact that eating eggs can trigger the risk of cardiovascular disease is a common mistake.

According to research published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (2000), where the study was conducted to estimate the relationship between egg consumption and cholesterol levels, eggs contributes important nutrients to the diet and is not associated with high cholesterol.

This study showed that those who ate four or more eggs a week, actually have lower cholesterol levels than those who did not eat at all or only eating one egg per week.

Some researchers also believe that a substance called 'choline', which is found mainly in the egg yolks, capable against harmful effects of cholesterol contained in egg yolk. Choline may help lower cholesterol levels are associated with cardiovascular disease. One egg provides 30 percent of daily requirement per person, which plays an important role in brain health and reduction of inflammation.

In 2010, a Harvard research involving more than 21,000 male physicians over a period of 20 years, and at which time their average age 54 years. The study found that men who ate seven or more eggs per week, 23 percent more likely to die from any cause. But egg consumption was not associated with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke, even among men who consumed more than seven eggs per week.

Proponents say that the eggs, the study does not provide enough evidence to blame the egg. According to them, the studies were not told about the cause of death and no information was pretty clear about what they are eating.

For extra security, you must be careful not to eat too many fried eggs as you would also consume eggs fat from oil. The key here is, do not prepare an egg by including too much butter or oil.

If you are really worried about the cholesterol content in eggs, you can eat egg whites only. Egg white is the best choice, especially if you are trying to reduce calories. Egg white is a fantastic source of protein, but without the fat.

One more fear that might arise when we eat the eggs is the presence of bacterial contamination in eggs. As known, in foreign countries like the United States, one in 20,000 eggs is contaminated with the risk of Salmonella, bacteria that can cause extreme intestinal pain.

However, this can easily be avoided if the eggs are stored in the refrigerator, cooked and eaten immediately after cooking. Salmonella Bacteria multiply rapidly at room temperature. So make sure you buy eggs at the existing store refrigeration equipment and place the eggs in the refrigerator (the coldest part of refrigerator and not at the door) as soon as you get home.

How much you should consume in a day?

Large egg may contain about 213 milligrams of cholesterol, which is contained in the yolk. If you want to be healthy, follow dietary recommendations that suggested that cholesterol intake should not exceed 300 mg per day.

American Heart Association states, eggs a day is still within reasonable limits for health. However, you should not consume more foods high in cholesterol such as milk, meat and poultry. If you have such as heart disease or diabetes, are recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist regarding consumption limit

4-fighting foods Arthritis

2011-07-12T00:45:00.000-07:00

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or better known by the term arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that attacks the joints and surrounding structures. This disease attacks generally cause chronic inflammation, stiffness and pain.

A study revealed that the Mediterranean diet can help lower the risk of inflammation in the body. The Mediterranean diet is a diet program that consume lots of fruits, vegetables, wheat, grains, fish, and olive oil.

Here are four types of food that you can try, especially for those who suffer rhematoid:

1. Fish

People who suffer from arthritis will generally produce in excess of cytokines. Polyunsaturated fats, especially omega 3 will help in suppressing the inflammatory cytokines and other chemicals.

Almost all types of fish contain omega 3. Much omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, herring, sardines, and anchovies. The American Heart Association recommends eating it at least twice a week. Fish should be baked and not fried. It is intended to maintain a healthy fat content.

If you do not like fish, you can eat other foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids such as walnuts (walnuts), canola oil, and soybeans. Or ask your doctor about omega 3 supplements derived from plants.

2. Fruits and Vegetables Nutritionists often advise people to add color to their diet. Because, the substances that give color to fruits and vegetables, namely flavonoids and carotenoids are potent antioxidants. Antioxidants are important components of the diet in combating inflammation (inflammation). Vitamin C is an antioxidant found in many fruits and vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants including blueberries, blackberries, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, oranges, broccoli, and melons.

Choosing foods that are colorful, with red, orange, yellow, blue, green, and purple - will indirectly make you consume a variety of fruits and vegetables, thus helping you to get a balanced diet.

3. Grains A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who consume more whole grains such as oatmeal, brown rice, and barley decreased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) or markers of inflammation in the body.

Wheat pasta and bread are the hallmarks of the Mediterranean diet containing selenium. Some people who suffer from rhematoid generally have low levels of selenium levels in their blood.

Another advantage of food grains, not refined carbohydrates - like white bread and white rice - is that whole grains can help you manage your weight better.

4. Olive oil

A study that appeared in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who consume a little more olive oil rhematoid risk compared with those who consume them in large numbers. Studies show that compounds in olive oil to stop the production of chemicals that cause inflammation.

In addition to being an important component as an anti-inflammatory, olive oil also serves as a replacement for saturated and trans fats. Saturated fats found in foods such as milk, butter, ice cream, fat and red meat. Trans fats are found in many foods in the cooking process of roasting.

If the room is dark and a variety of relaxation techniques was nevertheless help to shut your eyes, start to cool off.

Dr.Daniel Buysse, psychiatrist from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine says people who suffer from insomnia usually have excessive activity in the frontal lobe of the brain. This lobe is the part that regulates activities such as speaking, abstract thinking, as well as motion controlled by the will.

People who suffer from insomnia said they had trouble sleeping because their brains continue to work and the process is difficult to stop. Buysse suspect excessive activity in the brain that will increase the temperature of the brain that disrupt the sleep process.

As is known the body's circadian system that regulates sleep and wakefulness, creating a warm body temperature during the day and continue to decrease the temperature at night so that helped come sleepiness. Experts found that people with insomnia have a brain temperature is too hot to sleep.

In fact, melatonin, a hormone that helps us sleep and is widely used to treat insomnia, newly released by the body when the body temperature low.

In his research, Buysse tried to give a head covering that contains bersikurkulasi cold water to the 12 insomniacs. The result, they are fast asleep as well as people who do not suffer from insomnia. When wearing a head covering is the insomniacs took 13 minutes to fall asleep compared with a normal person who takes 16 minutes.

Impact of Divorce on Children Toddlers

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

Many questions from parents regarding at what age parents' separation and divorce have minimal adverse effects for children? Really just the best age of the children, because children are not much exposed on the lives of her parents?

The answer generally is no best age. However, the real impact of divorce on children vary according to age and stage of their psychological development. Parents need to understand the impact and the different needs of their children.

Here are the descriptions to understand the more fundamental differences according to two stages of toddler age, based on writings Anthony E Wolf (1998) in his book Why Did You Have to Get a Divorce? And When Can I Get a Hamster?, As well as suggestions for parents who divorced.

Children ages 0-2 Years

At the earliest stages of life, perceptions of a child of divorce is clearly limited. Of course, babies do not have a real awareness about the divorce. The impact of divorce on the rest of their lives are primarily not raised in the same house with both their natural parents.

The main psychological issues of childhood development is the establishment of a special strong attachment to the primary caretaker or the people in the life of a child. Children need continuous contact with at least one caregiver to form the initial attachment of the fundamental love.

Stickiness is the basis for the achievement of well being (well-being)-a sense that I loved and special, as well as the capacity of the child will love in the future. Fortunately, in most divorce where minor children are involved, the presence of at least one parent who loves the most important of all, the requirements are not significantly disturbed.

However, the prospect of having two parents who are involved with each other for the children of this age become less likely. After the breakup, usually one parent is no longer at home on a regular basis or have daily contact with children. As a result, the parents are gone or have been married longer then would no longer have a bond that goes both ways, from children to parents and parents to the child.

The risk of losing daily contact with both parents at an early age is that these parents may be settled quickly and will fade in the life of the child's whereabouts. If both parents remain involved with children who are still very small, sometimes parents are the main worries about treatment / care provided.

However, it should be kept in mind that both parents will learn. The same concerns will arise when parents, divorced or not, entrust their child's care to others who are not close family members. In fact, the former is a member of the immediate family, even parents of the child's full, so if your ex is skilled at making the baby burp or change her diaper, is not really a problem for the child.

The issue is whether he is a loving parent to child. It would be nice if you maintain contact with the former, pushing, and helping to make it more comfortable for the child's best interests.

Children ages 2-5 Years

With divorce, preschool children are very aware that great changes have occurred. One parent will no longer live at home or attend on-site or at the expected time. Children this age are looking to lose it. For example with the question: "Why did my father go, I miss, pengin father back." When a parent goes, the greater the terror lurking behind their minds. For example: "If the father is gone, maybe the mother will also go."

The main issue is the change of divorce and loss. Children do not like these two things as frightening. Their confidence, confidence that what they want will always exist, has been disrupted. A blow has opened their basic sense of security. The main reaction to the loss of their confidence is to withdraw.

They are more reluctant to take risks. They hold on to a sense of security that is still there, trying to ensure that will not happen again for the remaining loss. They need time to rebuild confidence that has been damaged. Meanwhile, they also need reassurance that you still exist and will not abandon them. Children may seem too small to understand all the changes that occur, but you still have to give a simple explanation that is honest enough to understand them.

If the parents tell what was going on, will make a difference in the lives of preschool children a little easier. However, be prepared if, even after the provision of support and explanation, children are still confused and kept asking why the father did not live together anymore. The real thing they want is for everything back to its original state.

A final word

If the divorce the couple can no longer be avoided, so this does not try to harm the child. Husband-wife had indeed split, but whether as a parent should also take a divorce? The children desperately need love from both parents and still want the two to become part of their lives. For children, the development of confidence and well-being of themselves are also dependent on the expression of affection of his parents.

This gene called DRD4 affect dopamine levels in the brain. One in four people who have this gene tend to be loyal to the couple up to two times more than those without it. When a man or woman with the gene "traitor love" is having an affair, they received a boost with the same chemical that won stakes gambler or an alcoholic who received the drink.

After testing 180 young men and women regarding their behavior towards the relationship, the researchers concluded that those who had certain variants of the DRD4 gene is more likely to have a history of infidelity, including one night stand.

"In the case of sex that is not bound, the risk is high, then there is the element of reward and motivation so that it ensures the existence of a boost dopamine," explained Justin Garcia, one of the researchers from the State University of New York.

According to research published by the journal PLoS ONE this, remains faithful to a partner is a very effective tool. However, volunteers also want to cheat. Even so, you do not necessarily make a justification for cheating because of this gene. According to Garcia, this study will not let the perpetrators get away. "Not all people with this genotype will do a date night or not loyal," said Garcia.

Last month, researchers found that the DRD4 gene also makes people have more liberal views. Because these genetic variants to encourage people to look for something new, they may be more likely to seek political views are not so conventional. Those who have these genes also tend to seek others' viewpoints, and influenced by them.

Compassion for People with Schizophrenia

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

After 10 years, Bagus Utomo (37) realized that his brother, Bayu, suffering from schizophrenia or severe mental disorders. Why so long? In 1995, Bayu began to show strange behavior. Bayu that when it was 30 years old often intense rampage. "We took him to the doctor and the doctor (people) only give medicine without ever explaining the illness my sister," said Good.

After taking medicine, Bayu situation improves. However, whenever, strangely behavior could recur. He's no longer just a tantrum, but also cursed his father, hostile to all men, and shouted hysterically all night. The behavior was repeated for 10 years. "Along the way we could not sleep and always tense. Our family is like in hell, "Good story, on Thursday (08/26/2010).

When the family began to despair, Good to find any information about such weird behavior that indicated his brother. In 1998, he found a site on the internet about schizophrenia. From there, Good to know her sister to meet the characteristics of schizophrenia, which is experiencing hallucinations, delusions, and bizarre behavior.

Single (36) even realized that his brother, Dwi Putro, usually called Pak Wi, suffering from schizophrenia after 17 years. "We only know Mr. Wi old tantrums and wandering for days. It happened several times since 1983. We just know Sir Wi experience of schizophrenia in the 2000s, "said Singh.

Not knowing, continued Singh, his parents mistreat Dwi. "My parents forbade Mr. Wi go and take a bath while wasting water. As a result, Mr. Wi increasingly depressed. "

Sari (36) also recalled how his extended family to handle Wibi confusion (54), his cousin, when often raged since the age of 21 years. "The family thought Wibi got black magic, so we brought him to a boarding school or smart people. Since there is no result, then we take it to the doctor. From there, we just knew that if Wibi suffered from schizophrenia, "says Sari.

Carla R Marchira, psikater in the Faculty of Medicine Gadjah Mada University and Dr Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, said the understanding among the public about schizophrenia is relatively low. "If there are people who suddenly behaving strangely, definitely hit suspected witchcraft. In fact, it may be that symptoms of mental disorder, "he said.

In addition, families are generally denied if one of its members experiencing mental illness for fear of being subject to stigma. As a result, patients treated late doctor. In fact, continued Carla, the sooner treated, the more likely the patient can recover.

According to Indonesian standards, people suffering from schizophrenia are considered if a one-month experience psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions experienced. Hallucinations are sensory perception disorder sufferers. As a result, the patient's ear, for example, hears strange whispers that was not there. Suspicion is a state of mind when patients are not realistic. He, for instance, feel persecuted pocong or the CIA.

"We must understand that the hallucinations and delusions was heavy. Imagine if every time you feel chased pocong, you must shout of fear, "he said.

To cope with psychotic symptoms, doctors usually give antipsychotic medication. Treatment lasted a long time, even some patients must take medication throughout her life.

Reforming family Since knowing her sister suffered from schizophrenia, Good to know how to handle his brother. Good and his family continue treatment Bayu. "Thank God, his condition has now recovered 90 percent. He already knew what was happening to him and diligently take medication, "he said.

Along with that, go Good, tense situation in his family soon melt. "Our whole family can rebuild our lives. That's important because for 10 years we kept tense, "said the sixth child of eight siblings.

The same is done Sole. He tried to show affection and attention to Mr. Wi. "In 2007, we realized Mr. Wi likes to paint because he liked to scribble on the wall of a neighbor. We also provide painting tools, such as paper, canvas, board, markers, and oil paint. "

Mr. Wi was drowned in a fun painting. He could draw constantly from morning until night. Not surprisingly, in a year, he could produce 1000's paintings. "When he paints, I have always held up his thumb and said, 'good'," said Singh.

Since the painting, Mr. Wi was never a tantrum or wandering again. "I am pleased to see progress," said Singh.

Clara believes, the family is an unpopular activity should provide people with schizophrenia. That way, patients can tercurahkan emotion in these activities. Logically, these activities can also divert hallucinations and delusions that often attack people with schizophrenia.

"Do not let them alone, confined, even chained to them. It makes people depressed and stressed, "she said.

Make Sunshine Younger

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

A recent study states that women spend more time to feel the sun, the possibility of biologically look younger and slow the aging process in skin.

As reported by FoxNews, Sunday (10/11/2007) yesterday, a study conducted at King's College London has produced a new discovery that women who have a high content of vitamin D because it is obtained with the help of sunlight. From food and nutritional supplements obtained, the biological will help young women become more visible and more healthy than others.

The study, led by Brent Richards said that the study uses as many as 2160 female respondents aged between 18-79 years also have shown that people who are rarely exposed to the sun are most likely a heart attack.

"These results are very impressive because they (the respondents-ed) has shown people who have the highest content of vitamin D seen in aging slower than that to have low vitamin D levels," said Richards.

"This may help explain how the influence of vitamin D associated with various diseases such as heart disease and cancer," added Richards.

But co-author Tim Spector said, that people who feel the hot sun all day would be healthy.

"Although there was a faint, excessive sun exposure can also cause skin cancer." Spector said.

The results of this study also linked higher serum concentrations of vitamin D correlated with leukocyte telomere in a woman's arm. In this study, researchers measured telomere women associated with biological age. Scientifically speaking women who have a high content of vitamin D is characterized by having a longer telomere.

The results of this study have been published in the latest edition of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Although not 100% evident, but these findings are believed will help answer the secret of vitamin D for this.

Green Tea Help the Heart Health

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

IF you will be offered a choice between Earl Grey or green tea, you may want to choose the green.

A recent study showed that green tea, which is more popular in Eastern cultures, can protect arteries by keeping them balanced and relaxed, and therefore can withstand fluctuating changes in blood pressure.

Led by Dr. Nikolaos Alexopoulos of Athens Medical School in Greece, the researchers found that among 14 people, those who drank green tea showed enlargement of arteries in their hearts for 30 minutes longer than those who drank coffee or hot water. This is because, experts speculate, green tea works on the lining of blood vessels, helping cells to excrete t-za needed to relax the vessels and allow blood to flow more smoothly.

The part that helps is the flavonoids, which work as antioxidants, and helps prevent inflammation in body tissues. These substances also prevent the formation of blood clots, which is a major cause of heart attacks. "We found that after drinking green tea, have a protective effect on the endothelium, to a cardiologist," said Dr. Charalambos Vlachopoulos, who is also the author of the study.

This is all due to the six grams of the green. To ensure that the effects of enlargement is not caused by caffeine is also found in tea, the researchers compared the major arteries in people who drink green tea with those who drank caffeinated beverages. It turned out that the experts did not find changes in enlargement of blood vessels in people who drank caffeinated beverages.

More surprisingly, these beneficial effects can last long and is accumulative. When the researchers measured the arteries of people who drink green tea every day for two weeks, they found the larger arteries. "This should be investigated further, but we think that people who drink green tea for one to two months, the beneficial effect will be even greater," Vlachopoulos said.

However, experts caution that one study alone is not enough. Dr. Robert Eckel, a professor at the University of Colorado, Denver, and former president of the American Heart Association, that endothelial function is influenced by several factors, including the dose of vitamin E and C in large quantities. "Consumption of green tea may be beneficial effects on the arteries, but we must stop thinking that this is a recommendation that everyone should drink green tea because it has been shown to reduce heart attacks and strokes," he said.

However, he acknowledges that early studies hint that green tea may be good for heart-healthy diet. Until recently, the American Heart Association have not entered the beverage in its dietary recommendations, but such research may change that. At least, if you're drinking green tea, you know that it is not a bad idea

Tea is also good for brain cells

2011-05-17T08:49:00.000-07:00

A cup of tea was not only good in maintaining the health of your blood vessels. The experts from Singapore recently reported that the beverage of natural leaf is also very beneficial for the brain which can slow down the degeneration of cells and keep your mind stay sharp ahead of old age.

Professor Ng Tze Pin from the Department of Psychological Medicine, National University of Singapore, reported The Sunday Times has completed a study for four years to uncover the benefits and goodness of tea for the brain.

· Any type of tea can provide benefits. Tea is cheap, non-toxic and widely consumed, "said Ng.

Together with his team, Ng found that natural compounds in tea called catechins, may protect brain cells from damage caused by the accumulation of proteins that lasted for years. Impact protection resulting from kebisaaan tea is believed to be able to maintain cognitive ability of the brain.

The researchers added, the content of caffeine in tea, unlike coffee, contains a natural protein called theanine. Substance in can reduce the normal side effects of caffeine such as increased blood tension, headaches and fatigue.

Degeneration of brain cells, caused by a combination of loss of nerve cells, predisposing genes, a mild stroke and rising levels of harmful proteins, often resulting in disease onset senility or dementia.

To come to the conclusion, the researchers conducted research by way of monitoring the habit of drinking tea around 2501 Chinese participants aged 55 years. Research was held from September 2003 to December 2005.

In this research, participants' health, attention span, language use, visual and spatial abilities and monitored. Their tea consumption also continues to be monitored.

From the research data revealed, about 38 percent of participants did not drink tea. Approximately 29 percent drank only tea while the rest ate a type of tea with a variety of types.

In the research results revealed that two thirds of the tea drinkers maintained their scores or values in memory tests twice within lapse of two years. Among participants who did not drink tea, 35 percent showed impairment or with an average score sekitat two points. This decrease according to the researchers is a significant sign of deterioration in cognitive kemampua.

According to the researchers, tea is one of the distinguishing factors that make brain cells remain active and playful. Drinking tea, without the support of other healthy habits, will not actually bring benefit.

"This means you must have a lifetime of healthy habits and a balanced diet,"

Reduce the Effects of Salt by Sport

2011-05-16T18:53:00.000-07:00

A diet that contains sodium or salt that is too high can lead to hypertension or high blood pressure. However, in fact, adverse effects of sodium could be inhibited by regular exercise.

Those who exercise regularly are generally more rarely experience sensitivity in high-salt diet. The risk is 38 percent lower than people who do not exercise at all.

Research by a team from Tulane School of Medicine, Louisiana, USA, defines someone as sensitive to salt if blood pressure levels sistoliknya up 5 percent or more after changing his diet than 3,000 mg per day to a high salt (about 18,000 mg of sodium per day).

American Heart Association (AHA) recommends U.S. citizens not to consume more sodium than 1,500 mg per day.

The data used in this study originated from the 1906 health data of Chinese people who average 38 years old.

During the 7-day diet of the respondents regulated by salt intake 3000 mg per day, then the next 7 days sodium levels increased to 18,000 mg. The researchers measured blood pressure monitor them 9 times during the study period to determine the level of their sensitivity to salt.

The people who never exercise blood pressure increased 5.27 ml of Hg. However, people who diligently exercising tensinya increased by about 3.88 mm Hg.

A person is suffering from hypertension if their blood pressure over 120 mm Hg/80 mm Hg, according to AHA standards.

Efficacy of Milk Protein and Fat

2011-04-23T05:01:00.000-07:00

So far, the public's understanding of milk is a source of protein. In fact, the milk contained so many other important substances that are beneficial to health.

As explained Prof. Dr. Ir. Made Astawan, MS, from the Department of Food Science and Technology Faculty of Agricultural Technology IPB, milk is a food with enough nutrients to complete.

In general, milk consists of water content as much as 87 percent and the remainder or about 13 percent is solid. Solids in milk can be subdivided into fats, carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and vitamins.

Protein content in milk is divided into two factions, namely whey (20 percent) and casein (80 percent). According to Made, both kinds of proteins are different and have an important role for our body.

Whey protein was dissolved in the milk serum on the level of acidity (pH) 4.6 and a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. The content of whey include beta-lactoglobulin, alpha lactalbumin, immunoglobullin, Lactoferrin, and others.

"Whey are so many benefits. For example, beta-lactoglobulin which is the largest component of whey, is useful to stimulate free fatty acid that does not cause obesity," said Made in gathering Nutritionist Scientific Association of Indonesia (Persagi) in Jakarta on Thursday (21 / 4 / 2011).

While casein, Made-up, a source of amino acids of a protein. The benefit of casein of which is to prevent hypertension, stimulate the formation of energy, defense against bacteria and viruses, as well as manage the growth in the points grow.

In addition to being a good source of protein, milk also has a fat content that are important to health. The function of fat in milk, Made said, has diverse functions, it can even play a role in preventing a disease.

In children, milk consumption is also important because it helps the growth of the brain that are growing and growing. "One of the important raw materials for the intelligence of the brain is the cholesterol contained in milk fat," he said. In milk fat, continued Made, contained some fraction of them fosfatidil choline phospholipids and that serves to enhance learning and memory abilities of children.

In addition to helping brain development, milk fat also acts as an anti-colon cancer, which can increase cell apoptosis kolonik mutants. Milk fat also supports the growth of good bacteria (prebiotic nature, as antihypertensive, antidiabetic and immunomodulatory.
