Golfer ALL of us will have experienced back pain, especially at the waist. It is usually caused by sitting too long, incorrect sleeping position, lift the weights or doing outdoor activities.

Pain with discomfort for several days, probably not too serious. But the case continues to exceed six weeks followed by feeling pain and numbness in the legs, you should immediately consult a doctor. You may have a slipped disc in the spine.

Back pain, especially involving slipped disc occurs in 60 to 80 percent of the world’s population once in a lifetime. Back pain can be divided into two types, involving the back only if called spondylosis. But if feeling sick to the thighs and calves like feeling numb and sore, it is an indication you have a slipped disc.

How slipped disc occurs?

Slipped disc is the problem of injuries to the bones soft (disc), also known as intervertebral disc. In medical terms it is called spinal disc herniated / prolapsed. Intervertebral disc can be likened a soft bone between the vertebral bones. It consists of a hard tissue (annulus fibrosus) of which it is contained in a soft material (nucleus polposus).

Intervertebral disc injury causes damage to the annulus fibrosus. As a result, it becomes swollen and often also break the intervertebral disc.
Swelling that occurs will be pressing the nerve in his back. The situation becomes more serious when it breaks cause its content or polposus nucleus (containing inflammatory material) out and pressing the nerve. This caused a huge back pain will spread down the legs. Patients will also feel numb and weak leg.

Because the usual treatment given by most doctors for medication antiinflammatori against materials contained in the nucleus pulposus.
Try to imagine this disc like a car tire to help absorb the shock makes us not feel pain when to jump or hitting.

In general, bones are 26 disc from the neck to the waist, which is 12 at the reels, or chest, neck, and five of seven on the bone or lumbar spine at the waist. Slipped disc may also occur in other areas like the neck but the most common are hip. This disease belongs to the group degenaratif involving age. Increasing age, one by one layer will be moved and divorced last case occurred a slipped disc problem is not treated properly.

Depending on when it occurs, for example, at the age of 20 years and below, the healing process quickly because it is replaced with new ones.
The human body has a natural healing process without the help of any treatment. Simply relax and do outdoor activities, the body will heal itself slowly. However, the increasing age of a person, the lower the natural healing process occurs.

Among those aged 30 to 40 years, slipped disc is considered a common disorder. After age 40, more hard disc for the loss of water and less elastic (easily broken). However, tree base, it depends on how we take care of the physical movement by following the proper position to avoid sliding disc.
Please note slipped disc takes a long time to happen. Uncontrolled movements, especially when sitting, reclining, leaning, take and carry the goods to contribute to this problem for a long time.

Current treatment

Depending on the level of injury treatment for different patients.It starts with enough rest to relieve pressure and allow for minor injuries disc through the natural healing process. Usually takes about six weeks.
This can take three types of drugs for mild pain relief, antibiotics and a tranquilizer.

In one study that was conducted, over 70 percent of patients recovered after 12 weeks without surgery. Physiotherapy treatment is an effective way. However, if the treatment is not successful, patients must undergo the appropriate surgery to treat their problems.

Some may ask, why are patients still have pain even after the operation? This is due to improper treatment given to them. Most important is to treat the disc are torn so that the jelly substance that causes nerve pain does not flow out and pressing the nerve.

Among the most common surgical treatment:

- Intra minimal invasive surgery Discal Electro Thermal (IDET) with narrow bump in the disc area using heat energy.

- Nucleoplasty the injury was not serious. Using a material such as a long needle inserted into the spine (the problem), the doctor will remove the excess tissue at the disc radiofrekuensi energy. This method only takes about 60 minutes or less. But do not suppose Nucleoplasty disc is too narrow or unstable spine and is in proper position.

PercuDyn current treatment.

Clinically, this material is capable of treating slipped disc by reducing the extra movements and pressure of the disc in the area to be treated without causing long-term degenerative effects. It seems a rotating screw that can be installed on all levels, including lumbar bone L5-S1.

Advice from doctors:

- Problems arising from the disc slipped most of his own negligence is not concerned about the posture of the body and how movement.

- Problems arising from the accident can be resolved gradually with no further burden on the part of the movement.

- Member of sports such as golf and tennis players tend to have slipped disc case not using the correct movement. For example, during a hayunan, the need to rotate the hips not the waist.

- Stretching exercises should be done slowly. If done with the rough, little by little the disc will be damaged.

- Exercise and sports in the right way to help strengthen bones.

- Provide opportunities for the body to heal naturally.

- Expensive mattress brand is said to relieve back pain will not necessarily effective. Basically, the mattress is in good condition and not sufficient cause our bodies when to lie down on it.

- Calcium intake through supplements and food does not guarantee prevention slipped disc. It helps prevent osteoporosis (decreased bone density).

- Alternative treatment like acupuncture only help to alleviate pain because it prevents the nerve activity. However, patients can try, especially if the light hurt grades.

WHAT you eat today? If at home, you may be able to control the family food. Outside of whether your child’s school or your partner in the office, they may eat the food you provide or purchase food sold in cafes, restaurants or canteens.

For example, when the bell sounded at the end of the school session, a different story. Children may fill the stomach with a snack or a light meal especially if you have money in pocket expenses. Snacks are becoming big issues, particularly among the younger generation that can lead to various health issues if left to spread.

The pregnant women were not separated by orange. They said, it is a favorite to get rid of nausea. True or not, people also need to review the salt content in orange. It may affect the mother and the baby is born.

Another story of the citizens prefer processed foods such as canned sardines and others. The demands of work or a place to buy fresh food is limited to encourage this scenario. Perhaps no one but try to read food labels because they may contain excessive salt. Many are not aware of salt also affects health. If popular with sugar diabetes, salt is often associated with hypertension. In fact, the salt is also the mother of all diseases due to high blood pressure can affect the heart, kidneys, obesity and so on. Apart from reducing the intake of sugar, people are recommended to reduce the intake of salt or sodium and sodium in food.

Salt reduction does not exceed the recommendations of a spoon or five grams is the result of a study in Hong Kong who found that some food products such as canned meats and sardines luncheon contains sodium or high sodium. The study of international news agencies reported on 15 April, found that sodium content in excess of recommended daily intake of food by the World Health Organization (WHO).

As pointed out, luncheon meat and sardines in a can of processed foods containing salt, water and preservatives such as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite.Sodium can be used as food ingredients or preservatives.

Consequently, people advised to reduce the use of salt and sauces in addition to reduced food intake of canned food, in orange or salty foods like salted egg. Prefer fresh food such as fresh meat than canned meat. Soak salted foods first (such as salted fish / anchovies) to remove salt before cooking. If buying processed foods, read nutrition information panel on food labels to know the salt content and choose products with less sodium content.

Awareness
Sodium is actually necessary to facilitate the fluid in the body. However, sodium content should be no limitation as if excessive, it can not be removed. It thus gives effect to health.

Normal salt intake is 2400 milligrams of sodium or one teaspoon of salt. According to research in the United States, more than 3,000 milligrams of salt intake will increase how fast food intake. In contrast, in processed foods are 75 per cent of salt is hidden. If taken in excessive salt intake, it causes high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, stomach cancer, gastric and kidney.

We have done research on sea salt, mineral content greater than normal and it is more salty. However, there is such an artificial salt pan salt. It may be more bitter and more bitter in the long run than ordinary salt. Commenting on community awareness about this issue, it is still low, despite a campaign to reduce salt and spices or replace it with orange peel, salt remains the main flavor.

Among the preventive measures that can be done is to order food less salt and MSG when eating in restaurants.
In fact, the salt not only causes high blood pressure, it is also a major cause of obesity. When we eat foods that contain salt, we would be quickly worn. Thus, a person would not feel happy to drink more plain water and he liked to drink juice or sweetened water. Then, he will feel like eating more. Finally, he could not control the diet and body weight reached the level of obesity.

For pregnant women, in the second and third trimester, they are not encouraged to take excessive salt, such as citrus fruits because it can cause swelling of the legs.

The solution to this problem, people are encouraged to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Myopia in children

April 28th, 2010

AROUND 20 years ago, the phenomenon of children wearing glasses is not something ordinary. Especially to those living in rural areas.
Only two major reasons attributed to this group was a result of hereditary factors and the other children may have ‘book worm. ”
But now, the situation changed. No matter everywhere, more and more children have to wear glasses. Some even as young as six or seven years began to complain of blurred vision, especially for distant views.
This condition is called myopia (nearsighted). Usually it is noticed by teachers who teach children that they seem just as narrow and rubbed the eye every time looking to the blackboard.
Assoc. Holden audition from Carl Zeiss Vision Institute said, myopia occurs to the 1.6 billion people around the world and the figure increased rapidly every year, especially involving children.
“In 2020, the expected amount will increase to 2.5 billion. So what is the solution?” His question was found at the launch in Kuala Lumpur Myovision lens recently.
In Malaysia he said, from a total of 12.5 million people suffering from myopia, 7 million people aged under 16 years old.
“Children under the age of 12 years amounted to 2.1 million people. This is a high figure and concern,” he said.
According to him, the eyes of children growing up from birth and reached a stable size at one time. From a narrow view at birth, the eye will grow and grow the first year or two to produce a normal view.
When the eye is growing, it depends on several factors such as genetics and environment.
We parents should be vigilant and ensure that the child through a balanced visual experience. myopia_big

What is myopia?
While small, we may often told to eat carrots for good vision.
But do you know how many carrots you have to eat do not help prevent the person suffering from myopia.
“Myopia is a condition that occurs in the eye, not a disease,” says Assoc. Holden.
Basically, it occurs when the eye ball is too long or the lens system of the eye is too strong. In both cases, the image object bounced in front of the retina, where visual sensitive areas located on the back of the eye causing the image appears unclear.
Individuals with myopia can see close objects clearly but distant blur the view.
There are various forms of myopia depends on the age where it occurs.
- The percentage of small (one to two percent) of children born with myopia, known as Congenital Myopia.
- Youth Myopia onset, most common among children aged between six and 16 years. It is different in each country between 10 percent to 80 percent.
- Adult onset Myopia l, divided into two, namely the early and late. Occur in small amounts in a particular country, five to eight percent.

Source
One study showed that myopia caused by a combination of nature and the environment.
“Hereditary factors play a major role. If the mother and the father of myopia patients, the possibility of children getting high myopia is approximately 30 to 40 percent,” says Assoc. Holden.
Decentralization, he said, the myopia among Japan, China and Korea, higher than among the European, American or African.
For a parent who experienced this problem, the likelihood of myopia about 20 to 25 percent.
Myopia but also occur not because the descendants of about 10 percent.
Environmental conditions also affect the situation. Lack of outdoor activities most exposed individual to myopia.
“Watching television on a regular basis does not necessarily result in myopia. Make sure you know a safe distance, but the most important outdoor activities to help you avoid health problems,” he said.
He said, the increase in myopia problem among Asians, especially in areas heavily influenced by visual exposure to the work at hand.
For example, research shows that there is a high statistical problem of myopia in children in Shanghai, Seoul and Osaka than in rural areas.

Among the contributing factors myopia:
• learning
• the level of visual work near (reading)
• close working distance (computer)
• time watching television
• the use of computer
• lighting
• home environment and a place to study / work
• the time involved in activities inside and outside the home

Conventional treatment
The method is widely used to improve myopia is the use of traditional lens glasses.
The use of negative lenses to improve sight by placing the right image on the retina, allowing the individual to be able to see the problem clearly.
However, it does not slow down the myopia in children.
Contact lenses were used by individuals suffering from myopia, mostly in the age group 15 to 40 years.

Increase myopia
“You can not change genetics have myopia. But there are steps that can minimize the development,” he said.
With the Vision CRC positive lens technology, the image will be reflected accurately (or almost exactly) on the retina.
Compared to the old method of using a negative lens, the image will be reflected in the peripheral nerves behind the retina.

How to reduce the myopia in children:
• Check points as early as age six or seven years. Use the correct lens can prevent the development of this situation from becoming worse.
• Encourage your children involved in outdoor activities.
• Like dental examinations, take the child to see a specialist optometry every six months to check the health of their eyes (in case a problem of points).
• Do not let the child is too close when doing visual concentration. They should read no less than 30 centimeters, and if watching television, a minimum distance of three meters. Suppose doing close visual attention, rest for two minutes every half hour. Take time to see the foresight (or the view out the window green).
• Lighting should be good for all activities.
• Do activities outside the home for at least an hour each day. Good activities including soccer, tennis, athletics, etc.

Alternative methods to improve myopia:
• progressive lenses children
May reduce the development of myopia but small and inconsistent effects.
• orthokeratology
Use of hard contact lenses for leveling of the cornea during sleep. It requires a careful treatment in terms of cleanliness.
• pharmaceutical drops
Several studies showed that the use of Atropine drops and Perenzipine could help reduce the development of myopia. Long-term effects of drug use has not been identified.
• Lasik refractive surgery
Lasik is a surgical procedure that changed the shape of the cornea to improve myopia. It only applied to adults after a steady state of myopia.

The user to choose and take care of eyeglasses:
• The ability to choose a frame in accordance with current fashion, but must be backed wearer comfort.
• plastic frames suitable for children because it is durable.
• Clean the lens with a special cleaner or regular soap and wipe until dry.
