8 How to Maintain Eye Health

Do your eyes feel tired and sore after working all day? Modern lifestyle causes stress on the body and our eyes among the most affected. But certainly do not have to like this. Learn easy ways you can do for the eyes and your eyes will feel and look better in just a few days.

1. Check your eyes every 12 months
untreated vision problems will grow worse and wearing contact lenses or glasses that are no longer suitable for you can cause vision problems and headaches.

2. In summer, wear glasses
UV rays can create serious damage to eyes. Good sunglasses can prevent this. When buying sunglasses, make sure that can reflect at least 98% of UV radiation.

3. Eat good nutrition for you and your eyes
recent studies show that vitamin and antioxidant group can prevent, or at least slow the growth of macular degeneration and cataracts. Good nutrition for the body is also good for the eyes.

4. If you read or work using a computer, make sure the light is right
Working with low light can cause eyestrain, but light is too bright nor good. The direction of light works best when using a computer is of a soft luminous table lamp from the side. Reduce levels of light (brightness) monitor. The color is so not too sharp, but the eye will be more comfortable. 

5. Rest your eyes
Almost all people feel their eyes are not so comfortable after sitting all day in front of a computer screen. This is due to eye blinks 25% less than normal, causing dry eye. One thing you can do is close your eyes and count to 5 before opening it again. Another was turned away from the screen and focus on a distant object, as often as possible.


6. Find a contact lens with good quality

Not all contact lenses the same. There are safe for your eyes, and there is also a risk of eye damage. Know what the modern contact lens industry has to offer will help to make wise choices, not simply follow what the doctor said.


7. If you wear contact lenses, treat well

Contact lenses are not so troublesome, but you also can not ignore it clean. Every time you use or release your contact lenses, rinse. You also have to replace the fluid, when you put in place when you sleep at night.

8. Wear contact lenses according to the recommended schedule

There are people who barbital save by wearing contact lenses longer than intended. It's not a good thing. Although the quality of the lens will not be reduced, the stack of protein can blur your vision. Another thing to consider is, the longer you wear your contact lenses, the higher your risk of eye infection.

Mineral water or drinking water which one is more stews itself

Mineral water or drinking water which one is more stews itself?
Regarding the mineral drink with own cooking water drawn from the tap at home is obviously better mineral water in containers where the amount of minerals needed usually is in conformity with the human body needs in a day. Regarding the water from the tap should be determined first what land or water from piped water.

Because if you tend to use ground water especially in and around rice fields, water usually contains very high in iron, so not good for use as drinking water. Regarding the piped water itself, the acronym also piped water (Water Company), logically it should be ready to drink water straight from the tap is not it? But the process is not guaranteed as well as most water distribution pipes that are old PAM and PAM may be rusty, so water is also sometimes is questionable for a drink.

Asthma Risk In Children

10:44 AM | Labels:

Asthma reliever medication used by millions of children around the world can increase the risk of asthma attacks in some patients with certain genetic constitution, according to British scientists.

The researchers found that salbutamol, which is popular as the blue inhaler drug also known as Ventolin, as well as salmeterol, an ingredient in GlaxoSmithKline's Advair, is less effective in children with specific gene variant and may in some cases make asthma worse.

The scientists say their findings indicate that genetic testing in children before treatment can be more effective in caring for their efforts.

"This is a global question that needs to be addressed," said Somnath Mukhopadhyay of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School.
Salbutamol is called albuterol in the United States and is very widely used, researchers said at a news conference.
U.S. drug regulators have warned in the past that asthma medicines such as Advair and Serevent, also made by Glaxo, may actually increase the risk of asthma in some patients. Glaxo said in a statement that it has conducted its own studies with Advair and Serevent and found no difference in response to genetic variation, although in this study 500 patients aged over 12 years.
"Albuterol is one of the most common drug throughout the world. The drug is used in the United States, in Africa, India . "Mukhopadhyay said." It's cheap, popular, and that's good - when it works. "
Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide and is the most common chronic disease of children. Halting symptoms include breathing, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness.
British study, which looked at patients between the ages of 3 to 22 years, showed that asthma patients use their inhaler daily carrying the gene variant, called Arg16 has a 30 percent greater risk of asthma attacks compared with those who have a form of gene more common.
Those with two copies of the gene showed a 70 percent increase in asthma attacks, but the scientists noted that children receiving daily doses are those who experience more severe asthma.
This research will be published by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, showed the same risk with salbutamol and salmeterol, which means more action.
The researchers first looked only at the salmeterol and the reported possible genetic link to its effectiveness in 2006. They then widened the research to include more patients using salbutamol.
About 1 million children in Britain suffer from asthma and more than 100,000 carry the gene variant, according to Mukhopadhyay and fellow researcher Colin Palmer from the University of Dundee.

Mukhopadhyay said the risk may be worse in countries like India, where the genes are known to be common Arg16.

"It's probably a good time to ask the question whether cost effective to prescribe all children with the kinds of drugs of the same or very similar, or whether we should look at the genetic problem," he said.
The researchers say these tests can be simple and relatively inexpensive, using swabs or saliva tests cheek.

Insomnia

10:43 AM | Labels:

Must sleep so that tomorrow's fit and ready to face all challenges of the job, but the sleep did not come, the eye can not be closed all night, and sometimes frustrating to force myself to sleep. While lack of sleep can cause a variety of things that interfere with the activity the next day, as difficult to concentrate, loss of mood, less vibrant, and emotions are difficult to control.

Difficulty sleeping disorders are commonly referred to as insomnia. Insomnia is a symptom of sleep disorder, the form is difficult to feel like sleep (takes more than 30 minutes to feel like sleep), frequent awakening from sleep (total wake time over 30 minutes), and wake up at dawn and it's hard to go back to sleep ( total sleep time less than 6.5 hours).

Insomnia can be caused by many-things. Some diseases can cause insomnia, namely Parkinson's disease, shortness of breath, flu, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, cough, hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, heart failure, dementia, hypertension, and several other diseases. Chronic pain due to arthritis, menopausal, colic, neuralgia, cancer also can cause insomnia. The atmosphere that can disrupt sleep at night is nocturnal (urination at night), air temperature is too hot or too cold, noisy (lived near railroad tracks, factories). Drug dependence or alcohol or tobacco or caffeine (coffee) can also cause insomnia, several other drugs such as antidepressants, corticosteroids, reserving. Other causes of depression, prolonged stress, anxiety, schizophrenia (mental disorder), hippomania, and bad news or failure to gain something.
Insomnia there are 3 types, namely chronic insomnia, transient insomnia, and short-term insomnia. Transient insomnia occurs in a few days. Short-term insomnia occurs in a few weeks and can return as usual. Chronic insomnia occurs more than 3 weeks.
Healing insomnia would be more effective if the cause of insomnia is resolved first. There are 12 rules of healthy sleep (according to WHO):

1. Lying in bed when it really wanted to sleep. But try at the same time when going to bed.

2. Do not use the bed for activities other than to sleep. Other activities like reading, watching TV, eating, telephone. Habit of using the bed for other activities when making a habit of lying awake in bed.

3. Attach the alarm to wake up at the same time. Regardless long time night's sleep.

4. Try not to nap.

5. Do not drink alcohol a few hours before bedtime. Alcohol can make restless sleep.

6. Do not consume caffeine or medications containing caffeine several hours before bedtime. Because caffeine as a stimulant, can raise your heart rate so the body can be awake all night.

7. Do not smoke a few hours before bedtime. Cigarettes contain nicotine which can improve morale because it affects as neurostimulan.

8. Sports in the afternoon (6 hours before bedtime). Muscle stretching exercises or walking for 20 minutes to taste. This will increase metabolism and body temperature, and then will decline about 6 hours later the effect of a deep sleep.

9. Provide a transition time for sleep with reduce the level of activity prior to sleep, get rid of anxiety will work not yet completed, the next day and other thoughts. Doing activities with calm and relaxed.

10. Clean themselves before going to bed, make sure the doors were locked, and adjust the lighting, in order to feel safe and comfortable during sleep.

11. Ensure there are no bright light or sound that can disturb sleep and make sure the room temperature comfortable.

12. Hungry or after eating a lot can inhibit sleep. However if you feel hungry you should eat small meals or drinking a glass of warm milk is very appropriate to solve this problem.

In addition, magnesium and calcium requirements should be fulfilled, because both can cause lack of sleep is not restful. Magnesium can relax the muscles and mind calming effect as calcium. Both substances can be obtained one of them in milk. Complex carbohydrates found in bread may boost spending to stimulate serotonin drowsiness. Serotonin can also be triggered by amino acid tryptophan contained in milk, other than that tryptophan also trigger the hormone melatonin, which ordered the expenditure for the body to rest. This hormone will be issued when the sunlight began to dim.

With a quality sleep and enough, we can more readily and concentrate fully to perform the activity the next day.

cancer Shark cartilage

10:42 AM | Labels:

 One of the treatment "miraculous" that is popular for treating cancer is shark cartilage. By arguing that "sharks do not have cancer, and sharks have no bones, only cartilage, so obviously, shark cartilage can prevent cancer." There are three problems in simple sentence was misleading.
 Sharks cancer

First, the shark does not have a skeleton of bones. Their skeleton made of cartilage. But the Sharks also had cancer.

There are at least 43 cases are recorded shark exposed to a variety of tumors, including thyroid cancer, linfoma, metastatic adenocarcinoma, and nerve cancer, blood cancer, cancer of the reproductive tract, skin cancer, and gastrointestinal cancers. Some sharks have two tumors. There are even cases of cartilage tumors. The study was conducted by Dr. Gary Ostrander, Professor of Biology at Johns Hopkins University, who surveyed the network database at the National Cancer Institute's Registry Of Tumors In Lower Animals conducted at George Washington University. Figures 43 is not a huge amount compared to the number of sharks are there. But remember, most of the commercial fishing catch sharks did not examine them, whether the sharks have cancer. And, after all, in the ocean mostly eaten by animals who are sick or healthy animals drowned in the sea floor and die.
 Cartilage was not useful
Second, all studies conducted so far shows that eating a cup or two cups per day of shark cartilage are not harmful. However, none of which showed shark cartilage can prevent or treat cancer.

Avoiding regular treatment
A third problem in shark cartilage is very serious: cancer patients are convinced through advertising, to buy shark cartilage and stop anti-cancer treatment that has been clinically proven. The current anticancer treatment is not perfect, but it's the best we have.
 The history of shark cartilage

The whole saga is a sad shark cartilage that begins with I. William Lane in 1983. In the 1990s he wrote the book with Linda Comac which states that "sharks do not have cancer." in 1992 appeared his book, sharks do not get cancer: how shark cartilage Could save your life. Then, in 1996 there are also a book called sharks still do not get cancer. He got a lot of positive response in 60 minutes the U.S. version.
This is easier for her son, Andrew Lane, Lane Labs building in New Jersey to market and sell shark cartilage. One of the products they sold very well, until the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) U.S. quickly  freezing Lane Labs official letter for doing "a deceptive marketing" in 2004.
Sharks and anticancer

Nevertheless, there is an anticancer material somewhere in the shark.

First, Dr. Carl A. Luer, of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, has tried to cause cancer in sharks during the last decade, to learn more about human cancer. He found the shark is the most difficult animals affected by cancer. For example, carcinogenic chemicals Aflatoxin B1 (sometimes found in peanuts) quickly leads to cancer on bony fishes hard. However, chemicals that have never trigger cancer in sharks. Does the framework of cartilage is associated with this? Dr. Luer not know ..

Second, every cancer has the essential needs to grow new blood vessels to feed him. In laboratory tests, there is something fresh in shark cartilage that can slow the growth of new blood vessels. But none of the isolated chemicals can increase the life expectancy of cancer patients in the studies conducted so far.

And keep in mind, there is word the cartilage HIU FRESH FRESH above. Not like most sharks are marketed which have been stored as a dead carcass, without the refrigerator, and often for days or weeks.

Cough Types and Prevention

10:37 AM | Labels:

Cough Types and Prevention!

Coughing is the body's defense mechanism in the respiratory tract and is a symptom of a disease or the body's reaction to irritation in the throat caused by mucus, food, dust, smoke and so forth.
Cough can be divided into two types: acute and chronic coughs, both are grouped according to time.
Acute cough is a cough that lasts less than 14 days, and in 1 episode. If the cough is more than 14 days or occurred in 3 episodes during 3 months in a row, called a chronic cough or chronic cough repeatedly.
Recurrent chronic cough that often affects children is because of asthma, tuberculosis (TB), and pertussis (whooping cough / cough 100 days). Pertussis is a chronic cough caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. Pertussis can be prevented by immunization DPT.
Cough Causes
There are several kinds of causes of cough:
1. Generally caused by infection in the upper respiratory tract which is a flu-like symptoms.
2. Upper respiratory infection (ARI).
3. Allergy
4. Asthma or tuberculosis
5. Foreign object into the airway
6. Choking from drinking milk
7. Inhaling cigarette smoke from people around
8. Psychogenic cough. Coughing is mostly caused by emotional and psychological problems.
Some cough medicines that can be bought without a prescription, including those containing:
* Guaifenesin (expectorant Cohistan, Probat, Bisolvon Extra, Actifed expectorant, etc.). To remember is that if you drink medicines containing Guaifenesin is a need to drink plenty of water. 
* Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine (Actifed, Actifed expectorant, Disudrin, Clarinase, Rhinos SR, Triaminic, etc.). Medicines containing pseudoephedrine can be used to stop a runny nose watery (runny) and postnasal drip. Should not be used if there is high blood pressure or for children under 6 years of age except on your doctor's prescription.
To avoid coughing, which you can do
Reduce drinking iced and sweet or spicy foods, as well as fried. Try to drink plenty of water (at least 10 glasses a day).
Handful of sage leaves (Abrus precatorius L.) washed fresh and brewed with a glass / cup of hot water and drunk like tea. Or, it could also be eaten fresh.
Lemon roasted over a fire, then split and whiting dab on it. Squeeze the water and then drunk. You can add a little water.
Star fruit flower handful wuluh / 5 wuluh ripe star fruit boiled with 1 cup water and add 1 piece of rock candy. After boiling and water to live 1 / 2 cup, lift, strain and chill. Drink morning and evening until the cough subsides.
For children fewer than five affected by coughing, can soften the red onion 2 cloves that have been washed clean. Apply to the chest at the top, also the neck front. Next, let it dry itself. This will help relieve cough. 
Expert Comments
Shallots can indeed be used as a laxative cough and phlegm, as well as a febrifuge. But only for a cough that is caused by "cold". When the cause strep throat, red onions alone will not cure. hopefully useful.

Brain disease

10:34 AM | Labels:

Brain diseases have many different forms. Infection, trauma, stroke, seizures and tumors are some major categories of brain disease. Here's an overview of various brain diseases.

Brain disease: Infection / Inflammation.

Brain disease in the category of infection / inflammation, among others:
- Meningitis: An inflammation of the membranes around the brain or spinal cord, usually due to infection. Neck pain, headaches and confusion are symptoms commonly.
- Encephalitis: An inflammation of the brain tissue, usually due to infection. Meningitis and encephalitis often occur simultaneously, which is called meningoencephalitis
- Brain abscess / abscess of the brain: An infection in the brain, usually caused by bacteria. Antibiotics and surgical drainage (a pipe used to remove pus, blood or other fluids from the wound) in the area is often required.
Brain disease: Seizures.

Included in this category of diseases of the brain are epileptic seizures. Head injury and stroke can cause epilepsy, but usually no cause is identified.

Brain disease: Trauma

Trauma included in these conditions:
- Concussion: A brain injury that causes temporary disturbance in brain function, unconsciousness and sometimes experienced dizziness. Traumatic head injury caused a concussion.
- Traumatic head injury: permanent brain damage due to traumatic head injury. Real mental disorders or personality changes are more subtle and mood changes can occur.
- Intracerebral hemorrhage: Any bleeding in the brain, which can occur after a traumatic injury or because of high blood pressure.

Brain disease: Tumor, mass and increased pressure

Categories of this brain disease, among others:
- Brain tumors: Any abnormal tissue that grows in the brain. What is malignant (cancerous) or benign, brain tumors usually cause problems due to the pressure that they give to normal brain.
- Glioblastoma multiform: an aggressive brain cancer and malignant. Glioblastomas brain develops very rapidly and is usually difficult to cure.
- Hydrocephalus: A number of abnormal increases of cerebrospinal fluid (brain) inside the skull. Usually this is because the fluid does not circulate properly.
- Normal pressure hydrocephalus: A form of hydrocephalus that often cause problems with walking, along with dementia and inability to hold urine. Pressures in the brain remained normal, although the fluid increases.
- Pseudo tumor cerebra: Increased pressure within the skull for no apparent reason. Changes in vision, headaches, dizziness and fatigue are symptoms generally.
Diseases of the brain: Conditions vascular (blood vessel)

Brain diseases associated with vascular conditions include:
- Stroke: Blood flow and oxygen is suddenly interrupted to the area of brain tissue, which then die. Parts of the body controlled by the damaged brain areas (such as arm or leg) can no longer function properly.
- Ischemic stroke: blood a group suddenly forming in arteries, inhibiting blood flow and cause a stroke.
- Hemorrhagic stroke: Bleeding in the brain that create congestion and pressure on brain tissue, damaging healthy blood flow and cause a stroke.
- Cerebrovascular accident (CVA): Name of stroke
- Transient ischemic attack (TIA): A temporary interruption in blood flow and oxygen to the brain. The symptoms are similar to stroke, but can recover fully without damaging brain tissue.
- Brain aneurysm (swelling of the brain blood vessels): An artery in the brain develops a weak area that swells like a balloon. Rupture of swollen blood vessels that lead to stroke, because of bleeding.
- Subdural hematoma: Bleeding on the brain surface. A subdural hematoma can put pressure on the brain, causing neurological problems.
- Epidural hematoma: Bleeding between the skull and the hard layer (durra) in the brain. Bleeding is usually derived from an artery, usually shortly after brain injury. Mild early symptoms can increase rapidly become unconscious and death, if not treated. This is also referred to as extramural hematoma.
- Intracerebral hemorrhage: Any bleeding in the brain.
- Cerebral edema: Swelling in the brain tissue that can occur due to different causes, such as the response to injury or electrolyte imbalance.

Brain disease: autoimmune conditions.

Brain diseases associated with autoimmune conditions, among others:
- Vacuities: Inflammation of the brain blood vessels. May cause dizziness, seizures, headaches and fainting
- Multiple sclerosis (MS): the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the body's own nerves. Muscle cramps, fatigue and weakness are symptoms. MS can occur in periodic attacks or growing.

Brain disease: neurodegenerative conditions.

Diseases of the brain associated with neurodegenerative conditions, among others:
- Parkinson's Disease: Nerve-nerve in the central area of the brain is slowly deteriorating, causing problems with movement and coordination. Shaking hands is a common early sign.
- Huntington's disease: Disorders that affect the brain derived nerve. Dementia and difficulty controlling movements (chorea) are the symptoms.
- Pick disease (front temporal dementia): For years, large areas of the nerves in the front and side of brain damage, caused by the accumulation of abnormal proteins. Personality changes, inappropriate behavior, and memory loss and intellectual ability are the symptoms. Pick disease is flourishing.
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): ALS also called Lou Gehrig's disease. In ALS, the nerves that control muscle function slowly destroyed. ALS continues to develop into paralysis and inability to breathe without the aid of a machine. Cognitive function is generally not affected.
- Dementia: A decline in cognitive function, because of death or damage to nerve cells in the brain. The conditions in which the nerves in the brain deteriorate, also abuse alcohol and stroke, can cause dementia.
- Alzheimer's Disease: For reasons that are unclear, the nerves in certain brain areas decline, causing the loss of the development of memory and mental function. Accumulation of abnormal tissues in the brain areas - often called tangles and plaques - believed to contribute to this disease. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia.
