Apples, For Healthy Colon

In addition to genetic disorders, food consumed affects the incidence of colorectal cancer (colon). One of the foods that are proven to prevent cancer is an apple.

Recent research suggests, apples or apple juice has a positive impact on the large intestine. The content of pectin and polyphenols are widely available in apple, known to increase the biological mechanism to produce anticarcinogenic compounds (anti-cancer) in the fermentation process.

"Apples are a source of fiber and antioxidants that are good. Apples are also rich in pectin which is effective as an anticancer agent in the colon," says the researcher.

In laboratory research done by researchers from Germany, Dr. Dieter Schrenk, known components in apples could increase the production of butyrate, to hinder the formation of HDAC (histone deacetlyases). Decreased production of HDAC would suppress the growth of precancerous cells and tumor cells.

Colon cancer is cancer that is often encountered in Indonesia. Cancer is not just about men but also women. The risk of colon cancer increases in consumption of high fat and low in fiber, body fat, smoking, and lack of exercise.

3 Steps to Treating Alzheimer by Ginkgo Biloba

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive mental condition in which brain cells gradually lose their ability to ultimately do not work anymore.

Alzheimer's causes severe memory loss and other cognitive disorders.

This disease mostly affects adults and have not found a drug that is truly effective.

The good news, in addition to modern treatments, patients with Alzheimer's can also try alternative treatments to alleviate the illness.

3 Steps to Treating Alzheimer by Ginkgo Biloba
One method is quite popular alternative is to use ginkgo biloba.

Ginkgo biloba is a plant that has long been used as an herbal remedy for various mental conditions.

Here's how to treat Alzheimer's disease with ginkgo biloba:

1. Take 120 mg of ginkgo biloba supplements every day.
Ginkgo biloba supplements are typically in the form of pills. One pill usually contains 120 mg of ginkgo biloba.

However, if the supplements are available only containing 60 mg of ginkgo biloba, the patient should take two pills at once.

2. Ginkgo biloba is also available in the form of dried leaves can be brewed as tea.

If you prefer ginkgo biloba tea, drink the infusion of this tea 3-4 times a day.

Drinking frequency higher is required because ginkgo biloba tea contains lower concentrations than supplements in pill form.

Is it true that fish oil had no effect on intelligence?

Dr. Cristina Campoy results from Spain which lasted for seven years to announce that No differences in levels of intelligence, among children who were given fish oil, and what not, when the child was six years old.

The results of this research evidence as well as strengthen the research of scientists from Norway recently that also found no difference in IQ level, among children aged seven years when his mother was pregnant consume fish oil, and which not.

Is it true that fish oil had no effect on intelligence?
Fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are found in oily fish and some other food sources, including milk, is necessary for fetal growth and development. The problem is, whether pregnant women who took supplements of this nutrient will affect the intelligence of the baby later?

In his research, Campoy asked the pregnant women who participated in this study consumed fish oil, fish oil and folic acid, folic acid alone, or pills that do not contain nutrients, in two trimesters of pregnancy.

Seven years later, Campoy and his team tested the intelligence of 154 children born to mothers who participated in the study. The result, the children have a comparable level of intelligence, no matter what eat supplement their mother.

Even so, Campoy affirmed that the results of his research is not to prove that fatty acids like DHA are not important. In fact, researchers found children who at birth have high enough levels of DHA in their blood, have the intelligence test scores slightly higher when they were seven years old.

What I want to emphasize from the results of this research is that pregnant women should not consume fish oil supplements. Adding food sources of omega-3 in the daily diet before and during pregnancy thats enough. In fact, diets rich in omega-3 in the long run far more beneficial than fish oil supplementation during pregnancy.

The researchers revealed that there are many factors that influence growth and development of infants, ie genetic, stimulation, and nutrition. In other words, if only relying on fish oil to get the smart kids, then the results are worth it.

Do not underestimate the Hand Hygiene!

Let's realize together that health is one of the essential foundations of a nation's progress! Do not just hope that science and technology that can make a big nation. Health, have a crucial stake there!

Infectious diseases can be prevented with simple and inexpensive steps such as washing hands with soap. A study conducted Katie Greendland from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK, found that washing hands with soap at critical time may prevent diarrhea by up to 47 percent.

Do not underestimate the Hand Hygiene
Conversely, do not wash hands with soap at critical moments can cause diarrhea, including cholera, pneumonia, influenza pandemic, the new-born infections, and infections among AIDS patients.

The bacteria that cause diarrhea are actually derived from human waste brought flies, water, soil, and fingers that pollute the food. Prevention is very simple, ie, good sanitation and hand washing with soap.

World Health Organization (WHO) also stated that both of our hands is the main route entry of germs into the body. That is why, in addition to running a healthy lifestyle, the habit of washing hands with soap will reduce and prevent the occurrence of disease.

Wash hands with soap should be done at critical times, namely before eating, before handling food, after cleaning up the baby, after using the toilet, and before feeding children.

Wash hands before handling food aimed at preventing the spread of the bacteria that cause food poisoning. Handwashing with soap is also obliged to do before and after processing raw meat.

Meanwhile, after using the toilet or cleaning the baby's diapers, wash hands with soap will reduce the risk of infectious diseases such as hepatitis A and salmonella.

Cancer-causing substances, called food mutagens, occur at high temperatures when frying or grilling.

Why did this happen?

When women talk about problems, often they are rarely put in the position between the two sides. Not only that, they continued to dominate the talks without putting the interests of both sides. The result, they also tend to appear more negative.

Pathak Neeha media professionals agreed. "I usually choose for yourself yelling or talking alone with a friend. I noticed that after talking with them about a problem, I actually feel worse. So the intention to seek a solution to the problem was actually tails at the problem more complicated. "

Establish a community

This phenomenon many occur among women in which psychologists regard it as emotional contagion will conduct one's negative thoughts or anxieties they may affect the moods of others. Believe it or not, studies have shown that people are constantly in touch with other people over will suffer depression. This usually happens because the women continued to discuss their problems in the end actually makes the problem bigger and more intricate make up their mind.

So, while chatting with friends is one way to reduce the burden of the problem, but you need to selectively limit the duration of the conversation with that friend. Remember, no one wants to be around people a sad and talking all the time right?

Tool for Preventing Chronic Skin Cancer

Dermatologists will have a new breakthrough tool to prevent the occurrence of melanoma, which is one form of skin cancer that is most feared by many people.

Department of Food and Drugs recently approved a device called MelaFind. It displays digital images of skin growth that analyzed the computer to see any signs of cancer.

Expectations of this tool is to see where melamonas early. Almost all patients diagnosed with early-stage melanoma can be treated and cured, but 85 percent of patients with end-stage melanoma die within five years.

Process performed by the physician is to take an existing mole for biopsy, analysis of form and color. Many dermatologist can look for those who contract the disease has long been the spot vacated by mole have features irregular edges, uneven color, and width of more than 6 millimeters.

"Every day the patient comes with 20 moles on their backs, and which is always the dilemma is how to be biopsied?" said Dr.. David Pariser, a former president of the American Academy of Dermatology. "Diagnosis of melanoma is one of the most difficult diagnosis to be said by a dermatologist," said Pariser who is a consultant of the product.

This tool will be shaped like a hair dryer and can emit light that can penetrate the skin layers, taking pictures with a variety of skin colors that show growth. The data inside the computer will compare with 10,000 other pictures to claim that if such patients should perform a biopsy.

Until now, these tools help many patients to take their moles from the body. Please note that there is no absolute certainty in the health world.

Beware, Smoke Risk Accelerate Menopause

Women who have the habit of smoking may have to stop that habit now. A study revealed that smokers' risk of women experience menopause about a year earlier than those who do not smoke. Studies conducted by the journal "Menopause" states that early menopause can be at risk of developing bone and heart disease.

This study collected data from several previous studies that included about 6,000 women in the United States, Poland, Turkey, and Iran. This study says that for women non-smokers, the average will experience menopause between the ages of 46 to 51 years. But in all studies, except for two studies, women smokers will experience menopause at a younger age, ie between 43 and 50 years.

During menopause, a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs and the woman can not be pregnant anymore.

"Our results provide further evidence that cigarette smoking was significantly associated with early (age of menopause) and provide justification for women to avoid this habit," said study author, Volodymyr Dvornyk from the University of Hong Kong.

Dvornyk and his colleagues also analyzed five other studies that use women's old age about 50 or 51 years to be "early" and "late" through menopause. Of the approximately 43,000 women in the analysis, women who smoke 43 percent more likely to experience menopause earlier than nonsmokers.

Both early and late menopause have been associated with health risks. Women who experience delays menopause for example, are considered high risk for breast cancer because one of the risk factors for the disease is more exposed to estrogen.

"The general consensus says, early menopause may be associated with greater numbers and a higher risk of health problems during menopause, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, and others," he said in a Reuters Health Dvornyk .

Overall, he adds, early menopause is also thought to increase the risk of death of a woman in the next year. There are two theories why smoking may mean early menopause, says Jennie Kline, an epidemiologist at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health in New York.

Smoking has an effect on how women's bodies or in other words can get rid of estrogen. Some researchers believe that certain components of cigarette smoke can kill the eggs, said Kline, who was not involved in this study.

Dvornyk team does not have information about how long the woman smoked, whether old or not, or how many cigarettes they smoked each day. His team could not determine how one of these factors may influence the age of menopause.

For that reason and the lack of data on other health and lifestyle factors associated with menopause, the analysis may be insufficient to resolve the remaining questions between smoking and menopause. Alcohol, body weight, and whether the woman has given birth or not, may also play a role at the time they reach menopause. Even so, Kline stated that the evidence for anything other than smoking have been linked.

Malnutrition Causes Decreased intelligence

NUTRITION worse in children not only disrupt their physical development and health, also affected the decrease in the level of intelligence. If allowed to happen, whose name was lost generation could no longer inevitable.

Malnutrition is associated with the level of intelligence or so-called intelligence quotient (IQ). Lack of certain nutrients affect the level of intelligence of children. Child malnutrition will usually decrease IQ by 11-13 points.

Worse, these conditions can not be fixed anytime soon because the most rapid brain development takes place only up to a two year old.

Malnutrition can obviously inhibit physical growth and brain optimally. Entering the age when children start school, usually he will look lethargic, cranky, lazy school, difficult to understand and remember the lessons, and often absent from school due to illness. In addition, children of poor nutrition will be left behind the development and intelligence than other children. The child also has the potential to be thin and very short. If you have this and no steps to fix it, would create a generation of low-quality unproductive and unable to compete in the future. Even this generation could have been social and economic burden for the family or society.

Malnutrition can be caused by two things. First, the lack of intake of foods of high nutritional value. Second, the occurrence of diseases that lead to infection causing damage to several organ function. This resulted in organ damage can not absorb nutrients properly. Only, for the case in Indonesia, general malnutrition caused by lack of nutritious food intake. The reason could be because of poverty and lack of parental knowledge about nutrition.

Drinking coffee hobby, Beware of Osteoporosis!

Coffee shops are mushrooming in various points of the capital. When drinking coffee has become a hobby and trend in various circles, the concern that arises is porous bone.

In addition to support the body, bones also store minerals essential for the functioning of the body. It is important to maintain bone density by watching food intake.

Formalin Fish Dangerous to the Body

Healthy food can be unhealthy for the body because the wrong treatment. Marine products, for example, can cause various diseases caused by "hand nosy".

The content of omega-3 fatty acids in fish makes it good for the heart and intelligence.

Unfortunately, the behavior of the community itself that causes the fish can be a trigger various diseases.

Formalin was also used in the process of salting fish. Likewise, when dried salted fish. In order not flies, they spray formalin. I guess that's the danger of fish ..

Formalin is a chemical used as a preservative. Formalin is actually functioning as a disinfectant, but misused by some people to preserve fish in order to prevent losses. Formalin is useful as a disinfectant because it kills most bacteria and fungi.

Here are the characteristics of fish that contain formaldehyde:
1. Not broken until three days at room temperature (25 degrees Celsius).
2. Color dark red gills and not brilliant, not fresh red.
3. The color of pure white fish meat.
4. Smell, the smell of formalin, the skin looks bright and shiny.

Delicious wake up in a fresh condition in the morning is an attempt to sleep 7 to 8 hours a night. Unfortunately, at times more serbamodern who have trouble sleeping, especially for those who live in big cities.

To help you sleep more soundly, Prof. Dr. Ir Khomsan Ali, Professor of the Department of Community Nutrition, Faculty of Human Ecology, Bogor Institute of Agriculture advise you to drink a glass of milk before going up to bed.

Melatonin is a hormone that signals the brain that this is the time for the body to rest all night. However, these hormones will only come out after 18.00 pm.

Diet for Longevity like an Englishman

How to eat like an Englishman could save 4000 lives per year in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (three of the four regions included in the United Kingdom) said a study. People who live in the UK eat more fruits and vegetables and eating less salt and fat, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease and cancer, say researchers from the University of Oxford.

According to the British Heart Foundation, this study shows eating style inequalities in different areas of England that should be the concern authorities. The death rate from heart disease and cancer are higher in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland than in England, said local health official statistics.

Foodstuffs play an important role in this regard. Last year researchers estimate more than 30,000 people a year would be saved if only everyone in the United Kingdom want to follow the British way of eating style and follow the recommended dosage to eat salt, fat, fiber, and intake of fruit and vegetables.

Now, the same researchers, from the Department of Public Health at the University of Oxford, his attention to the differences in diets in the United Kingdom. They examine the association of death from heart disease, stroke, and 10 types of cancer linked to allegations of poor diet that should be avoided in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, if the citizens of these three areas to follow the British way of eating style.

Experts say this study was not designed to favor the privilege of eating the English, nor because the English diet is considered very healthy. The end goal is very simple, the researchers claim, that the English diet was chosen because it is easy to follow everywhere. The British diet is not perfect but can be applied in other UK regions.

The main Priset Dr Peter Scarborough to Health Promotion Research Group said: "The main dietary factor that differentiates (high-low) mortality rates are the elements of fruit and vegetables. Consumption of vegetables and fruits in Scotland about 12% lower than in England, as well as consumption of fruits and vegetables in Northern Ireland are about 20% lower. The level of consumption in Wales is similar to these numbers. "

"Another important factor is the consumption of salt and saturated fats, lower in the UK but higher in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland." The researchers believe one surefire efforts to reduce the death rate due to the types of food hazards is to implement the food tax.

Denmark has recently introduced the taxation of materials for foods high in saturated fat, while other countries consider new ideas for products similar to tax soft drinks or high-calorie foods
