10 Penyebab Gigi Menjadi Kuning

2011-12-08T11:27:00.002+07:00

Jangan salahkan pasta gigi jika gigi Anda masih saja kuning walaupun Anda tak pernah absen menggosok gigi secara rutin. Adalah 10 hal berikut yang menyebabkan gigi Anda kuning:

1. Teh Herbal
Menjaga kelangsingan tubuh serta kesehatan dengan teh herbal menjadi kebiasaan yang umum akhir-akhir ini. Tubuh terasa lebih bugar, dan lebih langsing. Namun, ternyata teh herbal ini membawa efek samping yang buruk bagi gigi. Mereka yang rutin mengonsumsi teh herbal cenderung memiliki gigi kuning. Menanggapi hal ini, para peneliti Jepang, seperti dilansir Dailymail, menyarankan agar para konsumen teh herbal lebih memilih teh hijau. Kandungan katekin di dalam teh hijau dipercaya dapat menekan bakteri pemroduksi asam di gigi, sehingga gigi kuning lebih mudah dicegah.

2. Obat Mata
Mungkin Anda bingung, apa hubungan obat tetes mata dengan kuningnya gigi. Namun, obat tetes mata ini memang menjadi salah satu penyebab gigi menjadi kuning. Kandungan kimia dalam obat tetes mata menekan produksi saliva. Di mana saliva akan menetralisir asam di dalam mulut. Karena jumlah saliva ini berkurang, secara otomatis asam di dalam mulut akan meningkat. Di sini bakteri akan berkembang biak lebih pesat, sehingga gigi menjadi kuning.

3. Berenang
Hasil studi yang dilakukan terhadap 500 orang perenang menyebutkan bahwa 66% dari perenang mengalami kerusakan pada gigi serta gigi kuning. Hal ini disebabkan karena kandungan klorin yang tinggi di dalam air kolam. Klorin tersebut mempengaruhi pH air yang menyebabkan kandungan asamnya lebih tinggi. Untuk itu, jangan lupa menyikat gigi setelah berenang.

4. Pemutih gigi
Bagaimana bisa pemutih gigi malah membuat gigi menjadi kuning? Well, ternyata cara kerja pemutih gigi ini tidak sesederhana yang kita pikirkan. Kebanyakan, pemutih gigi bekerja dengan mengerosi gigi. Dan seringkali, pemutih gigi yang dikenakan di rumah, tidak bekerja secara maksimal. Bukannya memutihkan, mereka malah mengikis gigi, membuatnya rapuh dan kuning.

5. White Wine
Anda mungkin berpikir bahwa anggur merah justru buruk untuk gigi, karena warna merahnya. Namun ternyata anggur putih justru memberikan efek lebih buruk bagi gigi. "Anggur putih lebih cepat mengikis gigi," ungkap Dr Paul Ashley, direktur institusi kesehatan gigi, di University College Hospitals.

6. Menyikat gigi setelah makan yang manis
Saking takutnya ada bakteri yang tinggal di gigi, maka Anda akan buru-buru menyikat gigi setelah makan yang manis-manis. Benarkah hal ini? Ternyata justru hal ini salah. Setelah proses pengunyahan, maka mulut cenderung bersifat asam. Saat ini akhirnya gigi menetralisir keadaan mulut dengan mengeluarkan enamel untuk melindungi gigi. Jika Anda terburu-buru menyikat gigi, maka enamel ini akan terbuang sia-sia dan bakteri justru bebas berkembang. Untuk itu sangat disarankan menyikat gigi setidaknya 1 jam setelah makan yang manis-manis.

7. Diabetes
Tak bisa dipungkiri bahwa penyakit yang satu ini memang menyumbangkan efek gigi kuning, rapuh bahkan keropos. Sayangnya, banyak penderita diabetes tidak menyadari bahwa penyakitnya ini juga mempengaruhi keadaan giginya.

8. Rokok
Selain penyakit diabetes, rokok juga membuat gigi menjadi kuning. Kandungan nikotin di dalam rokok menyebabkan ruang mulut menjadi asam, nikotin-nikotin terikat pada elemen gigi dan tinggal pada dinding-dinding gigi. Tak heran jika mereka yang merokok hampir sulit untuk punya gigi putih bersih.

9. Minuman berenergi
Karena dibuat untuk menggantikan energi dan garam yang hilang saat berolahraga, maka minuman berenergi dilengkapi dengan gula dan asam.

Berdasarkan studi yang dilakukan University of Birmingham, ditemukan bahwa minuman berenergi bersifat korosif ketimbang air mineral. Zat kimia yang terkandung dalam minuman berenergi cenderung merusak dan mengikis gigi.

10. Membuka kemasan dengan gigi
Saking kuatnya gigi dan tak ada gunting di sekitar Anda, maka Anda memutuskan membuka kemasan dengan gigi Anda. STOP kebiasaan ini! Tanpa Anda sadari, kebiasaan ini akan membuat gigi lebih mudah rapuh dan lemah. Ketika gigi rapuh, secara otomatis warnanya tidak akan sehat dan cenderung menguning.

Demikianlah 10 penyebab gigi menjadi kuning yang patut Anda perhatikan.

6 Gaya Hidup Sehat yang Menjadi Bumerang

2011-11-18T14:34:00.000+07:00

Kehidupan semakin maju, peradaban pun semakin berkembang. Sebagian orang memilih melakukan gaya hidup sehat dan higienis sebagai cara untuk menjauhkan diri dari penyakit. Tapi terkadang ada batas-batas tertentu yang justru malah menjadi bumerang bagi kesehatan. Apa sajakah itu?

Berikut ini adalah beberapa contoh kebiasaan sehat yang menjadi bumerang bila dilakukan secara berlebihan:

1. Menggunakan Sunblock (Tabir Surya)

Vitamin D berguna untuk menjaga kesehatan tulang dan meningkatkan sistem kekebalan tubuh. Satu-satunya cara untuk mendapatkan vitamin D adalah dengan membiarkan diri terkena paparan sinar matahari. Karena untuk mengaktifkan vitamin D dalam bentuk yang belum aktif dalam tubuh, kita perlu sinar matahari.

Namun, banyak orang yang menggunakan tabir surya secara berlebihan karena takut kulitnya hitam atau terkena kanker. Kurangi penggunaan tabir surya, biarkan kulit Anda menyerap cahaya matahari pagi yang bermanfaat. Gunakan tabir surya hanya jika Anda memerlukannya.

2. Menggunakan Sabun dan Gel Antibakteri

Sabun dan gel antibakteri sangat mudah dibawa karena kemasannya sangat kecil. Tetapi jangan sampai hal ini membuat Anda terobsesi menjadi orang yang super-higienis, karena kemampuan alami tubuh melawan bakteri akan berkurang. Sebaiknya Anda mencuci tangan dengan air hangat dan sabun selama 20 detik untuk membunuh kuman.

3. Tidur

Manusia membutuhkan tidur selama 8 jam penuh tanpa gangguan di malam hari. Jika waktu tidur Anda kurang dari 8 jam atau malah lebih, hal ini akan mengganggu metabolisme Anda. Waktu tidur yang terlalu sedikit atau terlalu banyak akan menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan seperti perut kembung, nafsu makan berlebihan, kebingungan, dan depresi.

4. Mengandalkan Pendingin Udara (Air Conditioner/AC)

Pendingin udara seperti AC memang sangat diperlukan untuk mendinginkan suhu ruangan di hari yang panas. Ketahuilah bahwa menghirup udara AC sepanjang hari ternyata kurang baik bagi kesehatan, karena mungkin mengandung bakteri dan kuman dari partikel debu. Cobalah berjalan keluar ruangan setiap beberapa jam, atau matikan AC selama beberapa menit dan membuka jendela untuk sirkulasi udara yang alami.

5. Mengandalkan Makanan Organik

Makanan organik seperti buah-buahan, sayuran, dan produk organik kemasan lainnya cenderung mahal. Ini terjadi karena proses budidayanya terbilang sulit. Anda tidak harus makan makanan organik saja untuk mendapatkan makanan sehat. Yang terpenting adalah membaca label nutrisi kemasan produk agar Anda tidak salah pilih makanan.

6. Olahraga Berlebihan

Jangan hanya fokus pada satu jenis latihan. Latihan setiap hari memang sangat baik untuk tubuh, tetapi berikan tubuh Anda waktu istirahat 2 atau 3 hari dalam seminggu agar terhindar dari kelelahan dan overtraining.

Apakah Anda melakukan satu atau lebih dari 6 kebiasaan yang bisa menjadi bumerang bagi kesehatan ini? Kendalikan diri Anda. Jaga diri Anda tetap sehat dan sederhana dalam menjalani hidup.

Toilet Jongkok Lebih Sehat Bagi Ibu Hamil

2011-04-18T07:02:00.001+07:00

Toilet jongkok lebih sehat bagi ibu hamil?? Hmm... kayaknya perlu usul ke suami nih untuk ganti dari toilet duduk balik ke toilet jongkok lagi. Hehehe...

Berita yang fat dapet dari detikHealth ini tampaknya cukup bermanfaat buat ibu hamil kayak fat sekarang ini. Selain juga tidak membuat 'susah' seperti waktu awal-awal fat pakai toilet duduk ini (dasar ndeso yah? :p). Oh ya, keuntungan lain juga sepertinya membuat para suami sedikit 'lega' karena tidak perlu mengeluarkan tambahan biaya mengganti toilet jongkoknya yang ada sekarang ini. Hihihi... :D

Yuk, simak yuk artikel bermanfaat yang satu ini...

Jakarta, Bagi masyarakat moderen, toilet jongkok sudah banyak ditinggalkan karena dianggap ketinggalan zaman. Padahal bagi ibu hamil, buang air besar di toilet jongkok lebih banyak memberikan manfaat dibandingkan melakukannya di toilet duduk.

Sejumlah pakar kehamilan mengatakan buang air besar di toilet jongkok bukan hanya aman, tapi justru dianjurkan bagi ibu hamil. Menurut hasil penelitian, sering jongkok semasa hamil dapat mengurangi berbagai hambatan dan rasa sakit saat bersalin.

Jongkok diyakini sebagai posisi paling natural atau alamiah saat melahirkan, karena jalan lahir hanya akan terbuka dengan sempurna pada posisi tersebut. Latihan jongkok semasa hamil bisa meningkatkan elastisitas jalan lahir sehingga mampu membuka 20-30 persen lebih lebar.

Posisi jongkok juga bisa memperkuat otot paha dan perut agar siap digunakan untuk mendorong bayi saat lahir. Makin kuat dorongan dari dalam, bantuan dari bidan atau dokter kandungan misalnya dengan menggunakan forceps atau pencepit makin tidak diperlukan.

Meskipun demikian, penggunaan toilet jongkok juga punya risiko bagi ibu hamil. Oleh karena itu ibu hamil yang menggunakan toilet jongkok harus memperhatikan hal-hal berikut ini, seperti dikutip dari Babycenter, Minggu (27/3/2011).

1. Pastikan lantai dan pijakan kaki dalam kondisi kering atau minimal tidak licin agar tidak terpeleset. Jika perlu, gunakan alas kaki bari bahan karet yang antiselip.

2. Jika memungkinkan, pasang pegangan di dekat toilet jongkok untuk memudahkan saat hendak berdiri. Pegangan tersebut juga berfungsi untuk menjaga keseimbangan, karena perut yang membesar membuat titik berat pada ibu hamil berbeda dari orang-orang pada umumnya.

3. Hindari gerakan-gerakan yang berbahaya seperti mengambil gayung atau tissue toilet yang berada di luar jangkauan normal. Terlalu memaksakan diri tidak hanya berisiko jatuh, tapi juga memicu tekanan pada perut yang bisa membahayakan kehamilan.

4. Jika merasa tidak nyaman saat jongkok, misalnya pusing atau kesemutan maka jangan dipaksakan. Konsultasikan dengan dokter, sebab gejala tersebut bisa menandakan adanya gangguan pada saraf dan peredaran darah.

5. Jangan terlalu sering jongkok, atau hindari sama sekali jika memang ada komplikasi tertentu yang menyertai kehamilan.

Nah, gimana ibu-ibu hamil? Ternyata yang kuno dan murah itu gak selalu bikin minder kan? Buktinya toilet jongkok ini sudah terbukti lebih menyehatkan bagi ibu-ibu hamil macam kita. *membela diri* :D

Mengatasi Hidung Mampet

2011-03-28T15:27:00.001+07:00

Gara-gara keponakan nih, saya jadi ketularan flu dari kemarin. Tentu saja, yang paling gk enak itu saat hidung kita terasa begitu sempit, penuh dengan lendir (hiyy... :p) yang bikin susah nafas.

Meski banyak obat-obatan yang beredar di warung ataupun apotik, tapi saya sedang berusaha untuk meninggalkan obat-obatan kimia itu dan beralih ke pengobatan herbal atau tradisional. Untungnya, dapet info untuk mengatasi penyakit hidung mampet ini. Apakah itu??

Sebelum kita masuk ke cara pengobatannya, sebaiknya sobat perlu tahu dulu apa atau kenapa sih hidung mampet alias tersumbat itu?

HIDUNG buntu atau tersumbat dapat disebabkan beberapa hal, seperti pembengkakan konka atau bagian dari saluran hidung kita yang letaknya di bagian dalam batang hidung mengalami pembengkakan. Karena itu menyumbat aliran udara yang masuk melalui rongga yang kecil itu. Hal ini karena radang akibat infeksi (misalkan influenza) atau alergi. Bisa pula karena adanya polip yang menyumbat aliran udara yang masuk kedalam rongga hidung.

Ada beberapa cara untuk mengatasi hidung mampet, yakni:

Sebaiknya hirup udara di pagi hari. Hal ini bisa membuat kondisi hidung menjadi lebih baik. Tentu, membuat paru-paru bisa mendapatkan udara yang belum terpolusi. Selai itu, pemakaian inhaler (kayak yang di iklan-iklan itu lho...) yang terlalu sering pun tidak baik, karena akan akan membuat konka hidung menjadi mengecil terus-menerus dan merusak sel-sel di dalam rongga hidung. Akibatnya, akan mengganggu rongga penciuman.
Gunakan cara tradisional yakni menghirup uap air yang hangat serta menutup kepala dengan handuk supaya uap air bisa terhirup lebih banyak. Selain dapat melancarkan aliran darah di rongga hidung dengan menghirup uap air, ternyata juga bisa mengecilkan konka yang membengkak. Hasilnya, tentu saja hidung akan kembali lancar.

Gimana, mudah sekali kan mengatasi hidung mampet dengan cara tradisional ini? Jadi mulai sekarang teman-teman tidak perlu lagi deh bergantung dengan obat-obatan kimiawi yang bisa jadi akan menimbulkan beragam efek samping yang kurang baik bagi kesehatan tubuh kita.

Yuk, kita gelorakan semangat kembali ke obat-obatan tradisional / herbal seperti ini ;)

Alternatif Pengganti Imunisasi Pada Bayi

2011-03-25T17:19:00.001+07:00

Imunisasi bukanlah hal baru. Kita semua pasti mengenalnya, tapi sejak beberapa tahun terakhir muncul sebuah permasalahan yang cukup serius. Sebab di satu sisi, sebagai orangtua, apalagi ibu, kita tentu mengingkan anak-anak kita sehat. Dan salah satu cara kita menjaga kesehatan si kecil adalah dengan memberikan imunisasi. Tapi di sisi yang lain, sebagai seorang muslim, kita wajib menjaga segala sesuatu yang masuk ke dalam tubuh keluarga dari zat-zat yang dilarang oleh agama. Dari sisi yang terakhir inilah timbul polemik, perihal dipertanyakannya status kehalalan Imunisasi.

Lantas, bagaimana kita harus bersikap? Daripada berada dalam situasi yang bimbang, dimana seperti yang Rasulullah SAW ingatkan bahwa keragu-raguan itu lebih dekat kepada syaithan, lebih baik saya share disini saja beberapa hal yang dapat menjadi alternatif pengganti imunisasi pada bayi.

Apa itu imunisasi?

Imunisasi diberikan untuk memberikan perlindungan kepada bayi dari resiko terserang beberapa penyakit dengan cara memberikan vaksin (beberapa mikroorganisme yang telah dilemahkan dicampur dengan bahan kimia tertentu) ke dalam tubuh bayi.

Akan tetapi, Allah SWT sesugguhnya telah membekalkan kesempurnaan sistem imun kepada semua bayi untuk menangkal serangan pathogen (virus, bakteri, jamur) dari luar. Namun, bila bayi mengalami penurunan sistem imun baik karena warisan genetika maupun karena kerusakan akibat ketidak seimbangan unsure dalam tubuh, maka untuk memperbaikinya adalah dengan memperbaiki kualitas makananya (ASI). ASI sudah dikenal sebagai makanan dan antibiotic yang paling baik bagi bayi.

Memperbaiki kualitas ASI

Untuk memperbaiki kualitas ASI dan mempercepat penyembuhan luka operasi, istri anda dapat minum Omega 3 2x2 kapsul tiap hari. Spirulina 2x2, Kopi Radix 2x1 bungkus tiap hari, Madu Asli 2x2 sendok teh sehari. Semua herbal tersebut diminum 30 menit sebelum makan kecuali Spirulina yang diminum 1 jam setelah makan.

Manfaat

Omega 3 merupakan protein tinggi yang mengandung Asam Amino Essensial yang sangat berguna untuk perkembangan sel saraf dan otak bayi. Spirulina memiliki kandungan gizi yang sangat tinggi terutama provitamin A.

Spirulina juga berfungsi mempercepat penyembuhan luka. Kopi radix memiliki kandungan kalsium yang sangat tinggi yang tidak mudah rusak oleh panas sebagaimana kalsium hewan. Kalsium ini berguna untuk kesehatan tulang ibu yang menyususi juga untuk perkembangan tulang dan gigi bayi. Kopi radix yang mengandung herba Vitex dan halban juga sangat berguna untuk penyembuhan luka (untuk hasil maksimal, olesi luka dengan minyak but-but). Sedangkan Madu Asli selain merupakan makanan padat gizi juga bisa berguna sebagai anti biotic bagi ibu dan bayi.

Kini Anda tidak perlu lagi berada dalam kebimbangan, ketika harus memilih ingin tetap meneruskan atau beralih kepada alternatif lain sebagai pengganti imunisasi pada bayi tercinta. Semoga bermanfaat ;)

Tips Mengatasi Telapak Kaki Pecah Dan Kasar

2011-02-13T15:00:00.000+07:00

Telapak kaki pecah dan kasar tampaknya sudah menjadi penyakit yang dialami oleh banyak orang, tidak peduli apapun aktivitasnya.

Telapak kaki yang pecah-pecah bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa hal. Apakah disertai dengan rasa gatal atau nyeri, karena jika demikian bisa disebabkan karena jamur. Kondisi kaki yang selalu tertutup sepatu (misalnya sepatu berbahan kulit sintetis) juga menyebabkan kaki menjadi panas dan akibatnya mudah pecah-pecah atau kasar. Kaki yang selalu tertutup juga bisa memancing jamur tumbuh subur sehingga kondisinya akan lebih susah untuk diobati.

Untuk membantu mengurangi kasar-kasar pada kaki, cobalah beberapa tips berikut ini:

Kurangi menggunakan sepatu tertutup.
Gunakan kaus kaki untuk menyerap lembab keringat jika harus memakai sepatu.
Sering-sering lepas sepatu untuk memberi udara segar pada kaki Anda, atau gunakan sepatu sandal yang lebih terbuka.
Kalau kantor Anda memungkinkan Anda menggunakan sandal biasa selama di kantor, gantilah sepatu Anda dengan sandal sesekali.
Hak sepatu yang tinggi juga bisa memberi kontribusi pada telapak kaki yang pecah-pecah karena dengan hak tinggi Anda memberi tekanan lebih pada telapak kaki. Jadi sebaiknya untuk sementara hindari pemakaian hak sepatu tinggi.

Sementara untuk perawatan di rumah, cobalah tips berikut ini:

Rendam kaki Anda dengan air hangat yang diberi sabun cair, setidaknya sepuluh sampai lima belas menit.
Jika telapak kaki sudah agak lunak, gunakan batu apung khusus untuk telapak kaki (jangan terlalu kasar karena bisa menyebabkan iritasi) atau sikat khusus telapak kaki, dan gosok-gosokkan dengan lembut dengan gerakan memutar, kira-kira lima menit untuk masing-masing kaki.
Setelah itu keringkan kaki, pijat-pijatlah dengan lembut dengan menggunakan minyak esensial atau boleh juga dengan body lotion agar peredaran darah di telapak kaki lancar. Anda juga bisa menggunakan body butter karena kadar emolientnya (pelembut) lebih tinggi dari body lotion biasa. Lakukan perawatan ini seminggu sekali. Perawatan ini bisa Anda lakukan sendiri di rumah atau di salon.

Untuk perawatan hari-hari, jangan lupa menggunakan body butter di telapak kaki pada malam hari sebelum tidur. Atau boleh juga menggunakan krim khusus telapak kaki seperti Gehwol. Lakukan pada kaki yang bersih (jadi bersihkan dulu dengan sabun secara seksama sebelum tidur). Penggunaan krim pada telapak kaki di malam hari bisa membantu kulit telapak lebih lembut di keesokan harinya, sehingga tidak mudah teriritasi saat Anda harus berlalu-lalang dengan sepatu.

Lakukan semuanya dengan sabar, insya Allah perlahan-lahan kondisi kulit telapak Anda akan semakin membaik.

Selamat mencoba! ;)

Awareness of Colitis

2010-08-05T21:43:00.000+07:00

The effects of being diagnosed with then having to endure living with colitis should never be underestimated. Yet there are a large number of people who are also affected by colitis, namely family or friends that care for the sufferer. It can be challenging, both emotionally and physically caring for someone with colitis and having an understanding of what happens can be invaluable.

Colitis is a chronic illness of the large colon where inflammation can develop and create symptoms of severe abdominal pain, bleeding, diarrhoea, fatigue, weight loss, depression plus the side effects of the various medications that can be prescribed. Thankfully the symptoms are not always present, giving respite to the sufferer and their carer, yet even during these periods of remission there still has to be a watchful eye on how life is lived in order not to unintentionally provoke the disease from its benign slumber.

One of the key factors that can be forgotten for getting through a flare up is the necessity to have as much rest as can be possible. This means the sufferer has to take time off work, they have to in effect withdraw from the activities of daily life and that means they require assistance. On days that the sufferer may be feeling slightly better, there could be the temptation to undertake small jobs around the house or go outside though this should be avoided. Yes, there will always be things that require to be done, but it is for someone else to ensure that they are, in fact, done. Rest means rest by trying to eliminate as much physical movement as possible. Things like preparing food, running errands should be undertaken by a carer.

Everyday activities such as driving should be avoided and thus assistance will be required when getting to the doctor or hospital. Actually, when the symptoms grow in strength, all travel should be avoided. When symptoms are at their strongest, the sufferer will need to stay in bed for longer periods than usual but getting out of bed for a short while is worthwhile. This may require assistance as will perhaps dressing, bathing and walking. For the carer, it can be helpful to imagine that those living with colitis, and who have strong symptoms, are experiencing many of the challenges that old age also brings and to give assistance in the same way that you would an old person. This is particularly true in relation to the physical challenges faced when enduring a colitis flare up.

In addition, there has to be consideration to any side effects that may arise as a result of medication taken, such with the use of steriods. They can create psychological changes in the form of mood swings and depression and therefore the personality of the person that you know so well may subtlety change during the course of the flare up.

It is important to give as much emotional support to them and reassure them that whilst the flare up has happened, it will slowly regress and a path to health will not be far away. It is invaluable to help the sufferer to focus on what requires to be done to get through the worst of the flare up and give them reassurance that they do have adequate support when it matters through their challenge of living with colitis.

Dangers Of Laser Teeth Whitening

2010-08-03T15:00:00.000+07:00

A lot of people believe that you need to go through a laser teeth whitening procedure, in order to have brighter smile. It is true that this must be one of the options when you consider any teeth whitening procedures. The laser treatment has its own benefits, but there are significant drawbacks that need to be highlighted as well.

Laser teeth whitening is carried out through two different techniques. First of it involves the use of a whitening gel and second is the use of the ultraviolet lights. It is one of the teeth whitening procedures which need to be conducted by the dentist. The procedure begins with the application of a whitening gel, followed by the use of the ultraviolet rays. The lights would activate the components of the gel and release the oxygen in the innermost parts of the teeth.

Laser teeth whitening process has become exceedingly popular since a lot of people are becoming conscious of their smiles. The process can whiten your teeth, regardless of how stubborn the stains are. However, just like the other processes, there are a few steps that you need to follow. Firstly, the dentist would remove all the debris from the teeth. Thereafter the gel is to be applied on the teeth and thereafter the lights are focussed on the teeth. The gel would be converted into crystals and then absorbed by the light. The gel penetrates deep into the enamel and then provides whiter teeth instantly.

Although the results are instantaneous, the teeth whitening process may perhaps not be recommended to all. Such a concentrated process is possible for only those people who have stubborn stains on their teeth or who have never undertaken any whitening procedures before. The laser treatments take about one hour per session. Off lately, in addition to the benefits available with this teeth whitening process, there are a lot of drawbacks which restrict people from going through this procedure.

To start with, one of the biggest drawbacks is the cost attached to laser teeth whitening procedures. Compared to the home teeth whitening kits, laser treatments can typically cost a few thousand dollars.

There are quite a few side effects attached to the laser treatments. Some of the side effects include sore gums and teeth which are caused by the bleach in the whitening gel. Some of the patients have also complained of extreme sensitivity while consuming hot or cold beverages.

Even if the bleaching is effective, it is not recommended for people who have chemical sensitivities. You are required to inform the dentist about any of the existing conditions.

Due to the instantaneous results offered by the treatment, it happens to be one of the most sought after treatments. About 78% of patients have reported effectiveness after the laser teeth whitening processes. If you cannot afford thousands of dollars for such a procedure, you may also consider some of the home teeth whitening kits which are pretty effective as well.

Hepatitis Vaccines

2010-07-28T13:46:00.000+07:00

With so much drama and horrible stories about sexually transmitted diseases, you rarely hear about how to defend yourself from certain possible infections. Luckily for many, they will get vaccinations for the Hepatitis viruses. There are three kinds of Hepatitis, simply A, B and C. Here are how the vaccinations work.

The Hepatitis A vaccine given in the U.S. is an inactivated form of the hepatitis A virus. So, you are actually being injected with a dormant version of the virus, it should be noted that is NOT possible to get the disease from the vaccine. It is administered in two doses, six months apart. After receiving both doses, most people will have lifetime protection from hepatitis A. There are some cases in which the vaccine is not effective but this is very rare. It should also be noted that the hepatitis A vaccine does not protect against hepatitis B or hepatitis C.

For the Hepatitis B virus, again, an inactivated form of the hepatitis B virus. It is not possible to get the disease from the vaccine. After a person gets all three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine, most have lifetime protection from hepatitis B. There are some cases in which the vaccine is not effective but this is very rare. As well as the Hep A vaccine, the Hep B vaccine does not shield you from Hep A or C. It should also be noted that you can be tested to see if you have previously been infected and built up immunity to hepatitis B. Also, it is not harmful to get the vaccine if you have already been infected with hepatitis B.

Unfortunately, there is no vaccination or cure for the Hepatitis C virus. It is one of the diseases that is permanent, and can do serious damage to your internal organs if it is not diagnosed properly. There is some medication that can be prescribed and people can go on to lead a normal lifestyle, but they will always carry this disease.

If you think you might be at risk of contracting one of the stands of the Hepatitis virus, or if you just want to take precautions to not get infected, then contact a medical professional about getting the vaccinations. They are quite easy to get, and you should be protected from Hepatitis A and B for the rest of your life.

Hepatitis Safety- little information is widespread amongst the public about the Hepatitis viruses. Learn more about them, and how you can protect yourself.

Eat Less, Get Healthy

2010-06-26T11:41:00.000+07:00

You know that you have to eat less in order to lose weight. But it is difficult to change your old habits, isn't it? Not anymore .... Here are tips which show you how to eat less and still enjoy your meals.

Slow, Mindful Eating:
We have become accustomed to do things mindlessly. We don't pay attention while doing thing. The same is true for eating. We are absorbed in our thoughts and mindlessly put food down our throats. This results in eating more while at the same time we don't derive much pleasure from it.

In order to eat less, you have to become mindful while eating. Concentrate on eating and don't think of other things. Don't discuss important business matters over meals. Set aside separate time just for meals. It should not be difficult to find 15-20 minutes for lunch or dinner, is it?

While eating, focus on the food in the plate. Notice the smells and the look of it. Chew the food slowly and keep it in your mouth for sometime before swallowing it. All this will make you enjoy the food more and you will eat less than you normally do. Try it out for a few days - however let me tell you that it is not so easy at first.

Eat Less, More Frequently:
Cut down on your meal size. Big meals will put a lot of burden on the stomach and digestive system. You will feel sleepy after having a big meal. It will make you feel lazy. It is not good for weight loss.

Try having smaller meals. Instead of 3 big meals, why not try 4-6 smaller meals per day. This can be good for your metabolism rate and digestion. Smaller meals can be digested easily and quickly. You will not feel lazy or sleepy after a small sized meal.

Having frequent, small meals will prevent you from feeling hungry. Thus you can avoid eating junk food or unhealthy snacks. Very soon, you may develop more control over your eating habits.

Eat Less Sugar:
Reduce sugar intake if you want to be healthy and lose weight. Sugar cravings might lead to overeating or binging on junk food.

To reduce sugar intake, keep a sugar diary for a few days. Note down anything sweet that you eat during the day in your diary. Do this for a few days and you can immediately realize how much sugar you have been eating and how you can cut down on it.

Another good tip is to replace the sugared soft drinks with plain water. This will also make a big difference. The soft drinks contain a lot of sugar which we are taking in without even realizing it.

Eat Salad Before Meals:
This is a great trick to eat less. Eating vegetables before the main meal will help in filling up your stomach fast. So you will not eat much. Vegetables are low in calories but high in nutrition.

The fiber contained in the vegetables will help in keeping the digestive tract working properly. Eating lots of fresh vegetables is very good for health and fitness.

Good To Stop Smoking Weed

2010-06-24T11:35:00.000+07:00

Many people are addicted to smoking weed. Well, this is no ordinary weed for it can become an addiction and it can bring harm to the body. So, what is this 'weed' that I am referring here? The weed that most people use in smoking, which is addictive, is known as 'Cannabis'. It is a specie of a plant that can make people high. Popularly, this is known as 'marijuana' or what others call 'Mary-j.

While it is true that marijuana have medical benefits but if it is used abusively, it can cause harm to the body. It must not be used without any medical guidance by a medical professional. Because of the thought that it has medical benefits, others have a misconception about it. These people think that it is just like a certain form of tobacco. Tobacco and marijuana have similarities, though. One example is that, both can be addictive. But there should be something else that we should know about the two.

Both can be harmful to the body. Smoking marijuana and tobacco can destroy the health of the smoker and the people who can smell its smoke. However, marijuana has more disastrous effect because it can destroy the cells in your brain. No wonder why some people will hallucinate because of it and will even think that they can fly or they are in heaven. Also, a person addicted to marijuana is always confused and will always have panic reactions. A person's self-esteem will be surely lowered because of this. Thus, it has more bad effects than the good ones.

Also, smoking marijuana can cause the dreaded lung cancer. You may not feel the bad effects instantly but eventually, you will surely suffer. Your health will surely suffer. You can have difficulty remembering stuff. So, if you want a healthier life, then NOW is the best time to stop smoking weed.

A person addicted to marijuana will find it very hard to quit it. Considering the withdrawal symptoms will make it harder. For example a person may suffer from insomnia during the withdrawal process. But if you are very determined to have a better and healthier life, you will find it easy to quit smoking marijuana.

If you don't want to die at an early age, or suffer from any health difficulties then stop smoking marijuana. What you feel when you smoke is just temporary. But what you will feel when you stop will be permanent. You may feel high and happy temporarily but it will not end there.

Some things may be hard but nothing is impossible. Just be determined to stop. Find motivations to stop. Plan the actions that you must take in order to stop smoking weed. Learn from others who have successfully stopped smoking marijuana. This can be your strategy. Be humble enough to ask other people's health. Consult professionals who specialize in helping people to quit marijuana. Remember to put into action your plan and strategies. By these you will surely succeed and will have a cleansed healthy life.

Ask & Answer About Vasectomy Reversal

2010-06-20T11:24:00.000+07:00

If you are considering getting a vasectomy reversal, there are concerns that have already come your to mind about the procedure. You'll be surprised at some of the concerns your wife may have that you didn't expect. Here are some of the common questions wives have about their husband's upcoming vasectomy reversal which YOU can learn from, too!

1. Is This Painful?
She knows how you felt after your vasectomy, so her concerns about the reversal are of course warranted. What she doesn't know is that vasectomy reversal is often recommended for men who have discomfort chronically after a vasectomy. That fullness or pressure you may feel in your testicles could actually be relieved with a vasectomy reversal. Typically the recovery from a normal vasectomy reversal differs from a vasectomy because vigorous activity is limited to give the repair time to heal. Pain and swelling is often similar to the vasectomy, and many men say it was actually less painful than the original procedure.

2. Will he be able to get me pregnant?
Most men will have sperm present in the semen after a vasectomy reversal. Not everyone has enough sperm to get their wives pregnant, however. In addition, the sperm count will change with time - initially increasing and in some cases then decreasing as the point of joining of the ends of the vas can scar down.

3. Is this expensive?
For most families who want to have children after a vasectomy, a reversal is the least expensive option. It is typically cheaper than adoption and in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

4. Is it dangerous?
Any surgery carries some risk, and vasectomy reversal is no different. Bruising and swelling are very typical of this procedure. It is uncommon that the swelling is so dramatic that it needs to be drained. Infection is rare when proper surgical technique is followed. Some underlying health problems could increase these risks, however, so be sure to tell your reversal specialist!

5. Will this fix / cause erectile dysfunction?
There is some confusion about the effects of vasectomy on ability of the penis to function normally. There should be no effects impotence from either a vasectomy or vasectomy reversal. The testicles are making testosterone regardless of the status of the vas (the tube which is cut or blocked during a vasectomy). The only difference in sexual function may be an increase of semen (ejaculate) volume after a successful vasectomy reversal.

6. Is there another option?
Adoption or the use of another man's sperm by artificial insemination is always an option, but to have your child be biologically related to you there has to be sperm collected from you somehow. A small amount of sperm suitable for IVF can be obtained by aspiration from the scrotum with a needle, but this may need to be repeated if multiple cycles of IVF is required.

7. When will I get pregnant?

Even if you return to your pre-vasectomy fertility, your wife has to be fertile as well. The fertility of women decreases much more quickly than men with age, and this is often a factor in whether a pregnancy results from this procedure. Make sure before you submit to having a reversal done that your wife's physician has cleared her for pregnancy and isn't aware of a reason she might be infertile.

Your wife undoubtedly has more questions than just these. To help her become comfortable with the decision and the procedure, have her discuss his concerns with a vasectomy reversal physician. You should both attend the pre-procedure consulation. The physician should be able to give her the information needed to help both of you decide if a vasectomy reversal is the right thing for your family. If your wife is uncomfortable asking those questions, she may prefer for you to email or call the physician's office for answers.

Blood Alcohol Levels

2010-06-18T11:13:00.000+07:00

An excessive consumption of liquor content results in the increase in someone's blood alcohol level. For most persons who attend parties liquor is thought to be a needed element for having a good time. Blood alcohol content is a measurement used to detect how much liquor content is in someone's blood stream. It is measured in percentages starting from 0.01 up to 0.40 or greater. Most people exhibit some form of being drunk at 0.03 percent. Once blood content has reached 0.35 percent the possibility of casualty and unconsciousness heightens. First time users are also more susceptible to becoming unconscious with as little as 15 percent. This has lead to many of our current road accidents as well as criminal offenses.

Since the early 1900s there have been many alcohol exclusion laws put into practice to deject people from drinking. The limits under which you are able to drive while drunk may differ from state to state. Blood alcohol content below 0.08 percent in America is thought to be unlawful and individuals who are charged can face stern criminal charges. Women usually are more susceptible to become intoxicated, so a female's blood alcohol content will rise much quicker than that of males. Persons who are bigger in size, are less likely to get intoxicated, they will have half the blood alcohol content versus someone else half their size even if they drink the same quantity of liquor. An individual who is assumed to be under the influence of alcohol mainly when driving are tested with a mechanism known as a breathalyzer. Contents of saliva, urine or blood can also be taken to examine your blood alcohol level.

There are various ways to minimize your chances of getting drunk. The brand of liquor you consume as and the amount you drink at a time can increase your chances of becoming drunk. Alcohol containers provide the details on the amount of alcoholic content provided in each serving displayed as a percentage of the alcohol volume. Some alcoholic drinks have far more alcoholic levels than others, so you should lessen those that have a high content. For example wine on average has a alcohol content varying from 6 – 14 percent. Hard liquors such as whiskey, tequila, vodka and rum, usually have an alcohol content of approximately 40 percent.

The alcohol percentage is documentated as half of the proof. ‘Liqueurs' have an alcoholic level that ranges from 15 – 30 percent or even higher. Normal bottled beer usually has an alcohol content of about 5 percent by volume while light beer is approximately 4 percent alcohol. Other strong specialty beers and malt liquors may have alcohol levels up to 8 and 10 percent. When drinking mixed liquor try to limit your intake for each serving, as they have a variety of different liquors that have different alcoholic contents, that you might not be aware of that can get you under the influence quickly. Also watch out for cognacs work as a ‘creepers'. These beverages don't show the effects of the alcohol while drinking but instead much later on.

Over time there have been many DWI books written to educate individuals about the seriousness of becoming intoxicated as well as driving under the influence of liquor and ways to avoid this ordeal. These books aim to educate persons about the implications of drinking not only as it relates to a legal perspective but also in regards to their physical health.

Most DWI books also talks about what legal steps you should take if you are arrested with simplified terms that give information on certain procedures and ways of defending yourself in a possible DUI case including how to employ a certified DUI attorneys. It is made so that the every day persons is able to understand some of the court procedures relating to DWUI|DUI so they are more able to legally protect themselves. Sometimes there are even illustrations of persons who have previously been in DUI cases, who have evaded being locked up.

Health Benefits Of Teeth Whitening At Home

2010-06-16T11:07:00.000+07:00

We all want the best smile, since a good healthy smile is of prime importance to all. A smile speaks volumes about a person and therefore more and more people are becoming conscious of the teeth whitening procedures. The stains on your teeth can denote whether you smoke or whether you practise good dental hygiene. While making an impression, your smile can tell a lot about your qualities, which is why it is important to have whiter teeth.

Teeth whitening procedures are usually done at the dentist's office and often cost a lot of money, however there are online teeth whitening kits which make it possible for you to do the same procedures at home. Apart from getting a brighter smile, there are some other health benefits attached to these teeth whitening processes. We have listed down health related reasons which encourage you to consider teeth whitening.

Teeth Whitening Can Prevent Teeth Erosion

People consume a lot of harmful beverages such as coffee, soda or wine and therefore, with time, the teeth enamel is eroded. The enamel is the outer protective layer on the teeth and is responsible for protecting it from harmful things. At the time when the enamel starts eroding, you would experience extreme sensitivity in your mouth when you drink hot or cold drinks. The sensation keeps getting worse with further erosion. When you get teeth whitening done, it would eliminate all the bacteria that cause erosion. With frequent teeth whitening sessions, the enamel would be strengthened as well.

Save On the Dentist Fees

Formerly, teeth whitening procedures could only be done in the doctor's office. It would typically cost a few hundred dollars to get the teeth whitening done, however you can now buy teeth whitening products and perform the treatment yourself. Teeth whitening products are very easy to use and can be done anywhere, in accordance to your preference. As opposed to the dentist fees, these products are highly cost effective and you can get them from any of the major pharmacies.

You Won't Have To Wear Dental Bonds

General Information On Stds

2010-06-14T11:01:00.000+07:00

STDs is one of the biggest medical scares that have reached a pandemonium level around the world today. The earliest records show that STDs first occurred in America during the First World War when there was a Syphilis outbreak among the soldiers. Back then it was believed that Penicillin was the cure all to the disease. Limited medical knowledge lacked the proper treatment and preventive measures in dealing with this new disease. Today, millions are afflicted with various types of STDs. Some of the victims are not even sexually active!

STDs is an enigma that medical practitioners are continually trying to solve. It is a disease that can attack anyone. It doesn't matter if you are single or married; it doesn't even matter if you are straight or gay. As long as you are sexually active and do not use preventive measures of safe sex, you are a high profile candidate. Exposure to infected sores and discharges will also give you a high risk for infection. Having multiple partners, sexual intercourse with infected partners, sharing or using unsanitary IV needles are also factors for STD infection. No matter how much information is disseminated to the public about the risks of having STDs, the cases of patients afflicted with this disease just doesn't stop growing in number! When you think about it, the best way not to get STD is just not to have sex at all!

With today's sexual liberation, abstaining from sexual relations may be a near impossibility. The next best step is to undergo physical check-ups from STD clinics frequently before and after having sex with a new partner. Preventive measures should be taken because that is definitely better than having to deal with the long-term devastating effects of STDs.

Aside from prevention, there must be medical awareness. In the constant battle against this disease, one should know everything about the enemy that is STDs. STDs in its many forms is basically just viral and bacterial in nature. Bacterial STDs are treatable but will take a long time and great expense. Viral STDs are more damaging - physically, emotionally and financially. Some STDs do not even show symptoms so it is very difficult to detect if you are exposed to this disease. That is why it is important for you to get tested regularly if you are sexually active because you may never know if you have an STD that just shows no symptoms.

Being a victim of STD can cause a great deal of emotional, mental and physical stress both to the patient and the people he interacts with. Patients often experience great embarrassment and are ostracized in society. People with STDs lose their jobs, their place in society and even love from their family and friends. On top of all these emotional issues, they suffer physically for STDs often cause other medical complications leading to other damaging diseases.

Chlamydia, Genital Herpes (HSV-2), Genital Warts, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B (HBV), HIV, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Pubic Lice (Crabs or HPV), Syphilis, Trichomoniasis and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) are the specific types of STDs. If you suspect that you may have the symptoms of the diseases mentioned above, immediately consult an STD testing center to know what STD it is.

How To Cure Bad Breath

2010-06-12T10:40:00.000+07:00

Bad breath is both an embarrassment and a horrible condition to be suffering from. Whether it be in a casual conversation or in a business situation like a meeting or seminar, there is no way of describing that feeling of dread when you realise during a conversation that there is something wrong with your breath. For some people that suffer from bad breath, this fear can stop them from going out into public situations. For some people the thought or fear that they have bad breath when in reality you don't is a real one. Called Delusional halitosis, it affects approximately 1% of the population.

The Correct Cure For Bad Breath

Bad breath has several distinct causes and the treatment will vary depending on the cause. If there is an underlying problem, eating mints will not resolve it long-term. Commonly, one in four people suffer from bad breath and there is a cure for more bad breath sufferers.

The main causes of bad breath include some foods, dentures, oral bacteria, smoking and dry mouth. There are both long-term and short-term bad breath depending on the cause, however there is a cure for each of them.

Bad Breath From Food

It is common knowledge that food such as onions and garlic can cause bad breath after being consumed. The smell of bad breath that originates from food comes from the intestinal tract, and while chewing on parsley or peppermint to mask to odour. You can use mint but it may become an even more unpleasant smell. It is best to wait till the food leave your body naturally.

Bad Breath and Dentures

Wearers of dentures should clean them regularly as food particles can be caught in them, and this is a great source of bacteria build-up. It is the bacteria that causes the bad breath. Regular cleaning will stop this from occurring.

Speaking of bacteria...

Oral Bacteria

This is the number one cause of bad breath in the mouth, teeth and gums. Regular brushing and cleaning, as well as flossing of the teeth can completely remove this problem. The tongue is another great place that bacteria love to live so ensure that you brush or scrape your tongue. Scraping is more effective as it removes the dead cells as well.

Smoking Causes Bad Breath

One of the strongest smells is from tobacco and cigarette smoke and it is very hard to shift from your mouth, and your clothes. Nothing can mask this strong, offensive smell. Some mouthwashes mask the smell for a short time. Stopping smoking is the best solution here.

Bad Breath Caused by Dry Mouth

Moisture in the mouth in the form of saliva cleans it of excess food particles and ensures that there is a balance that bacteria can exist in peacefully. If the mouth becomes dry, food particles build up and bacteria start to lose control. Suddenly the whole ecosystem in your mouth has gone awry. Make sure that you drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday. This will reduce the chances of dry mouth. You may notice when you first wake up that your breath is quite strong. This is because the mouth has dried out while you were asleep. Drink a glass of water and that short-term problem disappears.

The mos effective solution for bad breath is to match the problem with the cause. Once the cure has been found, the suffer will feel less embarrassed and can get back to a socially normal life. At last you can attend those meeting with a new feeling of confidence.

Make Positive Changes For Fat Loss Success

2010-06-10T10:35:00.000+07:00

Why is it that merely saying the "D" word, you know "diet" brings immediate thoughts of failure to the minds of many men and women around the world? Could it be that we have all learned through trial and error that diets simply do not work? I know many of you are sitting back with jaws dropped at the moment. After all, this is an article about dieting, right? It is and it isn't. Dieting is the kiss of death for many while a new phase in your life or lifestyle adjustment may be just the thing that will mean success for you and your fitness and health goals.

Eating for some is an addiction. Unfortunately, you can't exactly give up eating all together as a smoker can give up cigarettes. I'm not applying by any means that giving up cigarettes is easy but how much more difficult would it be if you were forced to have three a day? At that point you may as well enjoy them every time the urge hits right? The same holds true for food. You must eat in order to survive. You cannot live without eating. This means that if food is a problem in your life, you must find a healthier way of viewing food.

Isn't this where diets generally come in handy? The short answer is no. This is where diets often fail. Diets do very little to change how we view food. In fact, most diets only serve to tell us which foods are good, which foods are bad, and which foods (typically most of the foods we enjoy most) are strictly taboo. Diets begin by forcing people to feel deprived or punished. And no one likes to feel either of these things.

Even worse however, is that we punish ourselves further when we slip along the straight and very narrow pathways upon which our diets place us. This means that we are going to wallow in guilt over every little misstep we make until we give up all together and decide to over indulge once again and ignore the guilt all together.

In order to have real success you must make a lifestyle change. This is the only way that you will be able to shed those unwanted pounds without experiencing the horrible guilt that so many dieters go through each and every step of the way with their diets. Set goals for yourself. Keep them aggressive but realistic for fitness, dropping pounds, and eating new healthy foods. Even if your goal is as simple as eating 5 vegetable servings a day it is a great place to start.

Change your way of eating. Then change your way of seeing food and you will experience amazing changes in your attitudes toward your health, your body, and even your fitness level. As the first pounds begin to drop you will begin to experience more energy and less pain when exercising. This should help keep you motivated to do even more as time goes by.

Do not think that long term weight loss goals will be as easy to achieve as the first five or ten pounds. Consistency is vitally important when making these lifestyle changes. Take each day as it comes and begin again the very next day. This means that even if you fall completely "off the wagon" today, you can start over tomorrow. The trick is in staying the course more days than not and learning moderation and balance when it comes to straying from the straight and narrow.

There are many ways to fail when it comes to dieting and I know people who have failed in almost every one I can possibly imagine. There is no way to fail, however, when you are making positive changes in your life that are getting positive results. It may take weeks, months, or even years to reach your goal. As long as you are making steady and continuous efforts and progress, you are doing many great things for your health and well being.

Health And Fitness Diets

2010-06-06T10:11:00.000+07:00

As you might have guessed, the most popular New Year's resolution made is "lose weight," followed closely by "getting into shape." There's no age limit on wanting to look good and feel good. Diet and exercise certainly don't discriminate in any way. Men and women of all ethnicities and those who are young, old, or somewhere in between are all welcome to join millions of others in eating less and exercising more in search of that beach-ready body and perfect sense of health.

The first step in a diet and exercise program is usually determining what kind of diet to use. There are probably more diets than you can count. You can choose a diet that requires you to count calories, carbohydrates, or fat grams. You can choose one that includes a number system that makes counting calories, carbohydrates, or fat grams easier or simpler. There are also diet systems that actually send your presized meals right to you every month. Regardless of your preference, the diet possibilities are almost limitless.

The structures of these various diets are pretty disparate, but the one thing you should do before embarking toward your quest of looking and feeling great should be consulting a physician. A physician can tell if your body can tolerate the diet structure that you've made. Look for other diet recommendations from him, too, as he can suggest other plans that may better suit you.

The pattern in what and when you eat will no doubt be changing once you start your diet. Note that your digestive system may require time to adjust, after you've begun your diet shift. As you might upset your system, please make sure that you are pretty healthy, overall. System upset may be seen if you're not in good health. Note that system upset can come from any form of diet change, even simply moving toward a more balanced diet.

In order to work correctly, your body needs varying amounts of nutrients like minerals and vitamins. A lack of nutrients in the body will result if you eat less food without supplementing your bidy with vitamins. Taking a multi-vitamin can help keep your nutrient levels up, if you feel like your diet doesn't supply you properly. The idea of any good diet pattern is to eat better, but eating a well-balanced diet that provides you with all of the elements that it requires to work correctly is of the utmost importance.

Natural Detox Cleanse

2010-06-04T10:02:00.000+07:00

So you want to naturally detox, huh? Well you will be pleased to know that there are a number of ways to do this. I am going to give you a couple of things to think about in terms of how to facilitate this.

The thing that has the most effect on our gene expressions and the health of our body is the food that you eat or do not eat for that matter. In terms of doing a full body detox that is very often that is the focus. It is more important what you are not eating than what you are eating.

I know that is a little bit of a different way of looking at things, but it is important. People can get very stuck on these different diets that are very extreme in nature and may not realize that the success is not from the diet itself, but it is what you have stopped putting in the body.

So if you want to do a total detox, I recommend focusing on the foods that mother nature intended for us to eat. When you are choosing foods make sure they exist in nature. Could you theoretically go out in nature and hunt pick, gather or milk a particular food. It is a simple as that.

Where did the food come from, did it come from the ground or did it come from a tree? Is it from an animal that is living as nature intended. Those are the things you should think about in terms of the foods you put in your body.

When you do that you get a full detoxification process going on, because you are empowering the body to do what it knows how to do and you are not plugging up the system with an unnecessary amount of toxic burden.

Most people are eating foods that evolutionarily the body does not recognize as food and with that the detoxification pathways in the body become clogged up.

Vitamin K: Balancing Body Nutritions

2010-06-02T09:54:00.000+07:00

Vitamin K plays an important role in blood clotting, it maintains blood vessels flexible and it stimulates correct bone development. Deficiencies of nutrition element K will lead to improper coagulation of the blood and hemorrhaging from wounds, easy bruising, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, easy bone fractures and even congenital malformations. Too high an intake of nutrition element K on the other hand is health threatening too by the risk of heart attacks and stroke due to blood thickening. The following suggestions on some foods high in vitamin K can help you stay away from imbalances.

Leafy greens such as spinach, lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprout and kale are foods high in vitamin K. Since livestock usually feed on leafy green, their liver contains rich sources of K element. Nevertheless, beef and pork liver are not consumed in very many cultures.

Fruits as foods high in vitamin K represent the most common source for a balanced nutrition. Kiwis, avocados, cantaloupe melons, grapes, apples, bananas, peaches, apricots and blueberries contain a moderate amount of K nutrition element. The same holds true for vegetables like red cabbage, tomatoes, leeks, artichokes, peas and cucumbers.

The best way to consume foods high in vitamin K is in a raw state, because cooking destroys the nutrients. Make salads of leafy greens, and if you still need to cook them, make sure that they preserve some of their vitamin K content. Soggy or mushy vegetables hardly have any vitamins left. Cook them light so that the veggies still remain crisp. The nutrients usually leech into the water where you boil the vegetables. Use that for a broth so that you can take advantage of the nutritional value.

Foods high in vitamin K should be part of a balanced nutrition. The body cannot store this nutrition element for long periods of time; therefore you need to take it from your meals. Moreover, you can add variation without looking for K element in particular. When you add some fresh berries or a banana to the morning cereal or you have a slice of fresh cantaloupe, you simply enjoy diversity. Eat some celery sticks and a nice leafy green salad at dinner, and your menu will include enough vitamins and minerals.

In case you suffer from some health problem, it is best to ask the doctor's recommendation related to your diet. For example, foods high in vitamin K as well as vitamin supplements could be a problem for patients who use drugs like warfarin and other blood thinners.

Struktur Daun

2009-03-22T11:24:00.000+07:00

Bukan hanya manusia saja yang memiliki struktur tubuh atau anatomi, tapi pada tumbuhan juga

terdapat anatominya salah satunya pada daun. Daun merupakan bagian tumbuhan yang yang paling banyak mengandung klorofil struktur daun atau anatomi daun sering di pakai sebagai inspirasi para arsitek, tidak hanya memiliki ruas namun daun juga memiliki bagaian - bagian yang tidak bisa di lihat dengan mata telanjang, untuk melihat anatomi daun di butuhkan bantuan mikroskop

Apa saja struktur daun itu dan apa fungsinya ?

1. Epidermis
Epidermis merupakan lapisan terluar daun, ada epidermis atas dan epidermis bawah, untuk mencegah penguapan yang terlalu besar, lapisan epidermis dilapisi oleh lapisan kutikula. Pada epidermis terdapat
stoma/mulut daun, stoma berguna untuk tempat berlangsungnya pertukaran gas dari dan ke luar tubuh tumbuhan.
2. Parenkim/Mesofil
Parenkim daun terdiri dari 2 lapisan sel, yakni palisade (jaringan pagar) dan spons (jaringan bunga karang), keduanya mengandung kloroplast. Jaringan pagar sel-selnya rapat sedang jaringan bunga karang sel-selnya agak renggang, sehingga masih terdapat ruang-ruang antar sel. Kegiatan fotosintesis lebih aktif pada jaringan pagar karena kloroplastnya lebih banyak daripada jaringan bunga karang.
3. Jaringan Pembuluh
Jaringan pembuluh daun merupakan lanjutan dari jaringan batang, terdapat di dalam tulang daun dan urat-urat daun.

Jamur Sebagai Agen Biokontrol Hama Serangga

2009-02-20T10:45:00.000+07:00

Serangga Merupakan salah satu hama tanaman pangan yang banyak menimbulkan kerugian, apa lagi bagi petani jika mereka sudah meyerang tanaman jadi masalah besar yang bisa berakibat gagalnya panen, biasanya para petani menggunakan insektisida untuk membasmi hama tersebut, namun ternyata pemakaian insektisida malah menimbulkan masalah baru, karena insektisida tidak bersifat spesifik terhadap target. Pemakaian insektisida yang tidak bijak justru menimbulkan populasi serangga bukan hama dan meningkatnya resistensi serangga hama.

Lalu bagaimana untuk mengatasi itu?

Yaitu dengan agen biokontrol, apa itu biokontrol ? agen biokontrol dalam konteks ini ialah suatu mikroorganisme yang digunakan untuk menekan populasi serangga hama serendah mungkin hingga dapat mencegah kerugian yang di timbulkan tanpa mengganggu keseimbangan ekologis yang ada. Biokontrol dapat bersifat antagonis atau bahkan sebagai parasit.

Kapang Beauveria bassina, Metarhizium anisopliae, dan Verticillium lecanii merupakan kapang patogen yang menyerang berbagai jenis serangga. Spora yang dihasilkan kapang tersebut akan menyebar dengan bantuan angin dan dapat menempel pada permukaan kutikula serangga. Pada saatnya, spora akan berkecambah dengan bentuk hifa yang akhirnya akan menembus permukaan kutikula. Pada stadium lanjut, hifa tumbuh dan menembus masuk ke dalam tubuh serangga yang meyebabkan kematian.

Kelebiahan biokontrol dibandingkan senyawa kimia ialah bersifat biokontrol yang lebih spesifik terhadap target. Selain itu, dampak biologis yang mungkin ada tidaklah sebesar dapak negatif yang timbul akibat dari sisa - sisa senyawa pestida yang dapat mencemari lingkungan karena susah terurai. Potensi agen biokontrol juga bertahan lama sehingga tetap dapat mengendalikan hama serangga di lingkungan sekitar

Gusi Bengkak mengundang stroke

2009-02-16T19:18:00.000+07:00

Pernah kah kalian mengalami pembengkakan pada gusi apa lagi berdarah? Awas hati – hati cepat periksa ke dokter gigi,apa lagi jika terjadi terus menerus akan bahaya , kenapa memangnya dengan gusi yang bengkak? Gusi yang bengkak, merah dan berdarah bisa meradang – dalam bahasa medis dikenal periodontitis – dan mengundang datangnya penyakit stroke, nah loh?bahaya kan, biasanya sering terjadi oleh orang tua dan anak – anak yang di bawah usia 10 tahun.

Menurut penelitian yang mengenai hubungan penyakit gusi dan meningkatnya resiko stroke di sebabkan oleh gangguan fungsi otak karena suplai darah ke otak terganggu, menurut Dr.Tiejian Wu dari Universitas New York bersama koleganya dalam penelitiannya pada tahun 1970-an hingga 1922, yang melibatkan hamper 10 ribu partisipan warga dewasa AS, yang hasilnya di laporkan dalam Archives Of Internal Medicine 2000 terbaru, periodontitis punya kaitan dengan meningkatnya resiko serangan otak bagi berusia 21 tahun ke atas.

Menurut Tiejian, gusi yang mula – mula bengkak dan mudah berdarah, bila tidak cepat di obati, lama – kelamaan akan merontokan tulang atau jaringan gigi, ini semua ulah bakteri dan juga ulah kita sendiri yang malas untuk gosok gigi, dan efek lain dari bakteri juga dapat merusak lapisan pembuluh darah, hal itu lah yang dapat meningkatkan resiko terserang stroke.

Mengapa kita mengedip??

2008-12-28T18:09:00.001+07:00

Kita mengedip untuk mengeluarkan air mata yang dihasilakan oleh kelenjar air mata. Air mata dapat melembabkan permukaan mata dan membantu membunuh bakteri.
Subtansi dari luar yang masuk kemata, misalnya debu dapat meningkatkan pengeluaran air mata. frekuensi mengedip pun akan meningkat sampai subtansi asing tersebut keluar dari mata. Kelebihan air mata akan mengalir kerongga hidung melalui saluran air mata.

Kultur In Vitro

2008-12-28T18:05:00.000+07:00

Kultur In Vitro memiliki arti pembudidayaan suatu tanaman didalam wadah - wadah gelas (botol) yang mengandung nutrein yang mencukupi. Teknik ini memiliki arti yang lebih luas dan umum dibandingkan teknik kultur jaringan sebab teknik kultur in vitro tidak hanya melibatkan jaringan tetapi juga sel atau organ tanaman yang di tumbuhkan dalam lingkungan yang aseptik, bebas mikroorganisme dan terkendali (pH, temperatur, pencahayaan dan nutrein).

Awal perkembangan dari kultur jaringan dimulai ketika ahli Botani George Morel yang berasal dari Perancis tanpa sengaja mendapatkan fenomena bahwa dari batang anggrek yang sangat pendek dapat tumbuh tanaman anggrek yang baru. Kultur in vitro sangat baik diterapkan untuk hal - hal berikut ini, antara lain :

Tanaman - tanaman yang sulit mengalamiregenerasi,
Tanaman - tamanan yang memiliki nilai ekonom yang tinggi, dan
Mendapatkan bibit tanaman yang bersifat seragam secara banyak dan cepat

Secara sederhana, bagian - bagian tanaman yang ingin dibudidayakan harus di cuci bersih dan disucihamakan. Secara aseptik, bagian dari tanaman tersebut di pindahkan ke dalam suatu wadah (gelas) berisi agar bernutrisi dengan kondisi lingkungan yang terjaga. Nutrisi didalam media mencakup gula, garam - garam mineral, vitamin dan asam amino. Bila kondisi sesuai maka dari bagian tanaman tersebut akan muncul tunas - tunas bru yang kelak dapat tumbuh menjadi tanaman baru yang utuh.

Pada musim hujan, masyarakat pedesaan yang tinggal dekat hutan maupun areal persawahan sering berburu cendawan. Cendawan yang tumbuh subur dipetik, dimasak dan dikonsumsi sebagai lauk yang menggugah selera dan menyehatkan.

Cendawan merupakan bahan makanan yang mengandung gizi tinggi. kandungan protein pada cendawan dapat mencapai 19-35%, dengan 9 jenis asam amino essensial. Cendawan juga mengandung vitamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (B2), niasin dan biotin. Kandungan asam lemak tidak jenuh sangat tinggi serta mengandung mineral K, P, Ca, Na dan Mg. Cendawan juga kaya akan serat (7,4% - 27,6%) sehingga baik bagi pencernaan. Kalorinya yang rendah sangat baik untuk pelaku diet.

Orang yunani kuno, raja - raja mesir, serta kaisar Tiongkok gemar mengkonsumsi cendawan karena dipercaya akan memberikan kekuatan dan kesehatan sehingga meningkatkan vitalitas hidup. Konsumsi cendawan shiitake (Lentinus edodes) dipercaya menurunkan kolestrol dan kadar gula darah. Laporan lembaga penelitian Inggris, Belanda, Jerman, Swedia dan China menyebutkan bahwa maitake (Grifola frondolosa) dapat berpotensi "mengobati" kanker dan HIV. Serbuk dari mannetake tau reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) digunakan sebagai campuran dalam racikan obat dan direkomendasikan oleh National Institute of Cancer USA untuk menghambat pertumbuhan virus HIV.

Namun, perlu diingat untuk tidak sembarangan mengonsumsi cendawan liar. Beberapa cendawan, terutama yang berwarna cerah menghasilakan racun yang dapat berakibat fatal. Cendawan yang populer karena racunnya ialah Amanita muscaria - muscaria yang berwarna merah cerah berbintik - bintik putih. Ada 6 dari 16 jenis Amanita yang beracun. Amanita virosa, A. verna dan A. phalloides yang merupakan kelompok cendawan yang sangat beracun dan disebut "malaikat pembunuh" (destroying angel). Beberapa cendawan lainnya yang beracun ialah Lepiota cristata (putih kecokelatan), Trichaloma pardinium (coklat), T. virgatum (merah bintik putih) dan clytocibe phillophilla (merah bata)
