Sleep style showing your personality

June 15th, 2010

I am happy single life because I can spend five to seven hours in bed in any style that I love to sleep, “said Aalia happy with the grace of God granted him sleep.

According to scientific fact, half of our lives is spent sleeping. Since the baby until bedtime adults vary in line with the demands and pressure around us.
But many may not know that the character and personality can be assessed by sleep style.

A sleep study in Britain, Assoc. Chris Idzikowski said that sleep position can give the true picture of who we are. He is also director of the Sleep Evaluation Services and Advisory Services, said a study conducted over 1.000 people of Britain have six sleeping position or style that reflects the true personality of the respondents.

Readers do not need to make a decision to believe the results of this study, but if true, and assuming that recognize knowledge as a body language that are translated in a report by Idzikowski.

“We are clear with the body style was aware but this study proves for the first time that the body was not aware of the movement (sleep) really tells us about our true character,” he said.

In addition, what is interesting is the interpretation of sleep position was in fact have a personal relationship with us. The study also focuses on relationship-style bed with the health problems faced by the individuals involved.

Among the problems associated with sleep style is the digestive system problems, snoring and sleep less or no sleep quality.
If you feel that your style of bed cover all styles above, may be your interpretation is incorrect.

This is because, Idzikowski said the study showed that most people sleep in the same position almost every night and only five percent of frequent exchange of sleeping position with various styles.

Idzikowski study also showed that only one of 10 participants who slept wrapped up, in fact, not all parts of the body is closed because there are parts that are exposed and often are the hands, feet or both legs from ankle to toe.

So, do not need a camera to record your sleep style, you know who your own and if you admit the truth Idzikowski study? think about it..

Sport Drinks, Secret of Athlete??

June 11th, 2010

WHAT secret an athlete is fit and not be tired? In addition to consistent exercise and training, athletes need enough food and drink appropriate to the sport itself.

However, whether by taking enough water, which is at least six to eight glasses, or one liter per day is enough? For an athlete, they are not only drinking water to relieve thirst, but to increase energy and reduce fatigue. Failure to replace lost fluids affect physiological functions such as the ability to exercise, difficulty in concentration and decreased level of vigilance and sensitivity.

When we feel thirsty, the body is actually experiencing water shortages. Thus, an individual, including athletes should drink enough water every day to improve and facilitate the movement of exercise. Coincidentally, the major sports in Asia is usually held in a hot and humid with temperatures around 29-31 ° Celsius and humidity level around 70 to 90 percent. It can remove the body fluids of a liter per hour.

Liquid

In this case, many athletes not understand that inadequate fluid intake during exercise or sports will result in a lack of water on a voluntary basis.
If this occurs, the athlete will be easy to achieve the level of fatigue despite not feeling thirsty and their performance deteriorated slowly without realizing it. Hydration is the process of healing the body, especially for athletes involved in sports that produce sweat.

This means that the body fluids lost through sweat must be replaced immediately, either during or after sports activities. Most of us do not realize the effects of dehydration can affect bodily functions and capabilities of our performance. That’s why sports drinks consumption should be encouraged during training several times to help adjust training.

Do we have to take a sports drinks?
• Sports drinks are designed to replace the fluids and increase the sugar content in the body immediately. Read the label before buying.
• Can also provide their own energy drinks. Fruit juice diluted with plain water can provide electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium are lost through sweat.
• Take plenty of fluid foods such as fruits that not only increase the water content in the body, but the supply of vitamins and minerals.
• Drinks containing carbohydrates (glucose, fructose and sucrose) of sugar that is easily absorbed.
• Do not buy a sports drink carbonated or gaseous as it will cause stomach feel uncomfortable.

The implication of inflammatory bowel

Cause IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease)

It is the common people thought that IBD caused by what we eat that cause inflammation in IBD in the digestive tract. However, there is no evidence to suggest that our eating habits cause IBD.

Although the causes of IBD are not fully known, doctors believe that IBD occurs because the immune system reacts to its own intestinal tissue. In addition, factors that result in IBD is a family history had suffered from IBD, infection, immunologic (the body’s immune system) as well as physiological health factors. What triggered the body’s immune system causes IBD has not been identified. Smoking habits were recorded as a cause of Crohn’s disease is severe.

Signs and symptoms

Common symptom is abdominal pain and diarrhea. Other signs include:
• Diarrhoea containing blood
• Loss of appetite
• weight loss
• Gross mucus from the anus
• Remove water with great pain or bleeding
• The desire of the urgent urination
• Bloated stomach
• Fistula or disease in the anus. This situation is common where there are mucus discharge around anus among people with Crohn’s disease
• Fever (occurring during the inflammatory event)
• Feeling tired (lack of red blood, generally feeling unwell)

Complications

IBD can cause bleeding from the ulcer (patients ulcerative colitis) and cause intestinal tight (or broken). People with Crohn’s disease may experience small bowel (intestine into the hole and narrow half-block) caused by inflammation.

Inflammatory bowel disease may affect other organs outside the digestive tract, such as the joints, eyes, skin and liver. Many patients who use steroid drugs to reduce inflammation may have diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. In the long term can lead to IBD patients at high risk for colon cancer. People need monitoring to identify early signs of colon cancer.

IBD Treatment

Because IBD is a chronic disease, it requires long term medication. The main objective of IBD treatment are to reduce inflammation-response is not normal. Some medications used to treat acute inflammation and the disease under control. Other medicines work to reduce inflammation and make the frequency of IBD stable.

Steroids – Steroid be given to patients for active disease and steroid can be used in a short time. Steroids help reduce the symptoms of IBD but can not prevent the active IBD. Steroid side effects if taken in high doses and in a long time, including acne, cataracts, osteoporosis (bone decay) and “moon face” (face swelling into a round).

Mesalazine – this drug is useful for control of IBD. Patients need to take it in the long run. Mesalazinine also useful during active inflammation.

Immunosippression Group – This medication is used to push the immune system (due to IBD is a disease of the body’s own immune response). Unfortunately, these drugs slow action, but useful for helping patients with the disease is not fully controlled with medication use masalazine. It also reduces the frequency of intake of steroids and these drugs have fewer side effects long term. However, patients at high risk for infection and blood test monitoring should be done.

Anti-TNF agents – “tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is derived from white blood cells and it acts to improve the damaged tissue. Inflixamab is anti-TNF antibodies have been approved to treat Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis of moderate to severe levels. But the drug is relatively expensive.

Antibiotics – Metronidazole and ciprofloxacin are the two antibiotics used to treat IBD. These drugs useful for treating mild and acute IBD. But these drugs are not effective to stabilize the disease IBD.

Surgery – Surgery colitis potential healing ulcer disease but is not effective for Crohn’s disease. Surgery often is recommended for patients who can not stand the side effects of drugs and medications do not cause the effect. The doctor will perform surgery on people with ulcers colitis if there are initial signs of cancer or a cancer. For Crohn’s disease, surgery is recommended for patients suffering with complications of disease and illness do not act, responding to medication

Probiotic – All views expressed that the use of probiotics as therapy adjuvant to stabilize the disease and reduce inflammation of ulcers colitis mild to moderate inflammation. It can stabilize remission occurring in pouchitis (usually occurs after brain surgery colitis ulcers).

Tips for patients living with IBD

Gastroenterology World Organization recommends these tips for people with IBD:
1. Learn more about IBD symptoms and signs.
2. Remember that all people with IBD are different.
3. Find someone who can share and listen to your problems and also sympathetic to the disease that you incur.
4. Eat a balanced diet.
5. Do not make excessive activity that you can not do.
6. Ask your health care provider about medications you are eating, what are the side effects and long-term use.

Cholesterol threat

May 23rd, 2010

ahix

Cholesterol is a soft mass, such as fat and greasy like a candle, and found in the bloodstream and in all body cells. Cholesterol is an essential part of a healthy body because it is used for producing cell membranes and some hormones, and other body functions to help facilitate that need. However, too much cholesterol in the blood will invite major risk for coronary heart diseases (in turn will lead to a heart attack) and stroke.

Where does cholesterol come of this?
Cholesterol comes from two sources, from food and your body. Liver and other cells in your body to produce about 75 percent of blood cholesterol. The remaining 25 percent comes from the foods you eat. Range for the intake of cholesterol is between 200-400 milligrams per day.

LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol)
When there are too many types of lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) low-density circulating in the blood, it gradually will stick and accumulate on the internal walls of the arteries that deliver blood to the heart and brain. Together with the mass, it eventually will form plaque, which is a bundle that will be hard to narrow arteries and make them less flexible. Such situation is known as atherosclerosis. If a lump is formed and clog arteries already narrowed, this would lead to a heart attack or stroke.

HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol)
Approximately one-fourth to one third of blood cholesterol carried by high density lipoprotein (HDL). Cholesterol HDL cholesterol is known as “good”, because a high HDL level is said to protect against heart attacks. Low HDL level (less than 1.0 mmol / L) also increases the risk of heart disease.

Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat made in the body. High triglycerides may be caused by excess weight, inactivity, smoking, drinking alcohol excessively and take foods high in carbohydrates (60 percent or more of total calories). Those with high triglycerides often have high cholesterol levels as well, including high levels of LDL and HDL levels are low.

Cholesterol Lp (a)
Lp (a) is a genetic variation of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol). Levels of Lp (a) levels are major risk factors for premature development of fatty deposit in artery.

What is indicated by the level of your cholesterol?
Your test report will show cholesterol levels to measure “millimoles per liter (mmol / L). To determine how cholesterol affects your risk of heart disease, doctors will take into account other risk factors such as age, family history, smoking or high blood pressure.

Note: The range of safe intake of cholesterol is 200-400 milligrams per day.

Common medicine to lower cholesterol.
Now firmly established that statins (also known as Cécile-COA Reductase inhibitor) is a type of drug that is effective and efficient because it not only dramatically lowers cholesterol, but also can reduce the risk of heart attack Statins block cholesterol by blocking enzymes Cécile-COA Reductase. This effect is not selective, because it prevents the production of CoQ10. The study found that there was a significant reduction in CoQ10 levels in heart, skeletal muscle and liver tissue after treatment with statin drugs, especially if the drug is taken with higher doses.

Some people who take statin drugs have reported numerous side effects including muscle aches, weakness, fatigue, memory problems and impotence (erectile dysfunction).

The problem is, these symptoms are common complaints heard in connection with increasing age, so many people consider this matter should be reported to their doctor. According to Dr. Julian M. Whitaker MD, these side effects may be caused by corrosion CoQ10 by statin drugs.

Taking CoQ10 supplements Hydro soluble (water soluble CoQ10)
The only way to overcome the lack of CoQ10 (including a lack of CoQ10 is stimulated by statin) is to take hydro soluble CoQ10 supplement, because it can increase levels of CoQ10 in the body. However, CoQ10 supplements are not just for those taking statin drugs alone. Dr. Peter Langsjoen, a cardiologist that CoQ10 supplements to thousands of patients we think it would be inappropriate to wait until then to attack the heart failure take CoQ10. He believes that taking CoQ10 as we reach middle age and beyond (the decline of CoQ10 begins) will give a good protective effect on mitochondria in the heart, thereby maintaining a good cardiac function.

Do you have sufficient CoQ10?
CoQ10 production by the body will deteriorate as we get older. Although CoQ10 exists naturally in many foods such as meat and vegetables, CoQ10 content in foods is very limited. It is difficult to get enough CoQ10 from food each day. Therefore, only one way only to get a sufficient, that is by taking CoQ10 supplements.

Traditional form of CoQ10 supplements are not easily absorbed by the body (such as the diampai CoQ10 powder in soy oil and inserted into the soft gel capsule and powder-based tablet, hard gelatin filled with powder). The problem is that the particle size of CoQ10 is great, besides it is not soluble in water and difficult to dissolve in lipids, thus making it difficult to be absorbed by the body.

An American company has developed a patented process Biosolv where this process can reduce the particle size of CoQ10 from 25-70 microns to only 0.3 microns – even smaller than bacteria! Using this process, CoQ10 molecules become so small that it becomes “hydro soluble (water soluble).

In general, the smaller the particle size of the better absorption. Therefore, the hydro soluble CoQ10, the more CoQ10 to be absorbed into the bloo

Lack of iodine would affect the child’s health

May 15th, 2010

ALL parents want the best for their children, but at the same time, many are not aware of nutrition that provides optimum health.
Many studies have shown that the lack of basic nutrients before and during pregnancy can affect brain development during the infant and child. Proper nutrition before and during pregnancy is the first step in helping the brain development of the child.

Iodine is especially important for normal development of brain and nervous system of infants, especially during pregnancy and the first two to three year life of the baby. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and the growth of children may cause delays in development that lead to a decline in mental performance. This damage case before two to three years is irreversible.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence of iodine deficiency is most widespread in the world, but easily preventable brain damage.

Why do we need iodine

Iodine is important for our thyroid hormones. These hormones support the normal growth and development of children and help keep the body metabolism. Tyrosine low (which can occur due to lack of iodine) in children may be retarded mental and physical growth.

Many studies have shown that iodine deficiency is one of the main reasons for the lack of motor skills, muscle weakness, lack of coordination and manual skills are affected. Because iodine is needed for brain development, it is important to ensure that the fetus (unborn baby), baby and children get enough iodine.

Many of the recommended iodine?

The amount of iodine needed by a person during his lifetime is less than a teaspoon. Because iodine is not stored in the body, it should be taken every day. Iodine requirements are higher for pregnant women and breastfeeding, and less for children, infants and toddler. Pregnant women and breastfeeding need more iodine than the general population.

However, research suggests that most women do not get adequate amounts of iodine in their diet during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
World Health Organization recommendations on iodine intake is:

l 220-250 mcg / d for pregnant women
l 250-290 mcg / d for breastfeeding mothers
l 50-90 mcg / d for children less than one year
mcg 90-120 l / d in children 1-11 years
l 150 mcg / d for adults and adolescents

Effects of iodine deficiency

Prolonged iodine deficiency can cause swelling, goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland is prominent at the front of the neck), hypothyroidism (thyroid hormone in the production down to levels lower than normal) and impaired mental function.

However, most damage is the result of fetal and infant development. Maternal iodine deficiency (mother) resulted in miscarriage, pregnancy complications, and infertility.

Natural resources

Our bodies need iodine in small quantities for growth and life (survival). Iodine occurs naturally in many foods, and usually in small quantities. Because iodine can not be produced in the body, we need to get from the food we eat or by taking iodine supplements.

As with most minerals, the two main sources of our food and iodine supplementation of iodine. Other good sources include fish, eggs, meat, seaweed, milk and poultry.

It is important to note that contrary to popular belief, sea salt contains no iodine. Therefore, do not use sea salt as an alternative because it only contains two micrograms of iodine per gram.
