Not surprisingly, olive oil has been a very valuable trading commodity for centuries. The benefits of olive oil will be even more pronounced if you know how to use it properly.<br /><br />to Fry<br />Some nutritionists claim that heated olive oil to temperatures above 320 degrees for extra virgin olive oil and 420 degrees for virgin olive oil will be harmful to the body. However, according to olive oil expert Luisito Cercaci, olive oil will not release harmful toxins even when heated. What will happen is, like all other oils, olive oil will break apart at a certain temperature. As a result, the nutrients contained in it such as Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants will be destroyed.<br /><br />to Bake<br />Many recipes recommend seasoning vegetables and meats to be roasted with olive oil and spices. Some even recommend that you coat the grill with olive oil so that the food does not stick. It won't hurt you, but it also doesn't add to the deliciousness of the food and can even make the food taste like gas if you use a gas grill, says chef Marc Vetri of Vetri and Alla Spina in Philadelphia. Food does not need oil when grilling, open stove which needs to be greased before grilling.<br /><br />It is recommended that you use an oil with a higher burning point, such as vegetable oil or grapeseed oil. After the food is cooked, that's when you just spread it with a good extra virgin olive oil.<br /><br />For certain cake needs<br />According to olive oil supplier to gourmet, Olivers & Co, for some types of baked goods, extra virgin olive oil can be substituted for butter or margarine. Just keep in mind, the strong olive oil taste can be a problem for some people. If a subtle flavor profile is your goal, stick with butter. The same is true for anything that requires a creamy taste and texture or cakes that require the fat to remain solid. For savory or nutty baked cookies such as biscotti or muffins, olive oil may be what you really need.<br /><br />to Get Rid of Acne<br />Olive oil is often used as a hair conditioner, skin moisturizer, massage oil, and a mixture of artificial soaps, lotions, scrubs and other care products. And for the most part, its claims and loyal followers are on the right. However, olive oil can wreak havoc on skin that is already prone to acne. That's because olive oil is comedogenic or clogs pores. It is better to use sunflower oil, evening primrose oil or argan oil instead, as they do not clog pores.</p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-9222114532498369562020-12-08T11:51:00.002+07:002020-12-08T11:51:16.743+07:00Mung Beans and its Benefits<p> A lot of research shows that eating lots of plant foods, one of which is mung beans (Vigna radiata), helps improve health and reduce the risk of chronic disease. Mung beans have a wealth of nutrients and vitamins. In fact, several studies have shown that consumption of mung beans has various health benefits, one of which is reducing the risk of chronic disease. <br /><br />the Benefits of Mung Beans<br />Source of vegetable protein<br />Mung beans are one of the best sources of vegetable protein that we can consume. Mung beans are rich in essential amino acids such as phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, arginine, and many more. Essential amino acids themselves are compounds that cannot be produced by the human body itself.<br /><br />Source of antioxidants <br />Apart from being a source of vegetable protein, mung beans are also a source of healthy antioxidants. Several types of antioxidants contained in mung beans include phenolic acids, flavonoids, caffeic acid, cinnamic acid, and others. Antioxidants have a function to neutralize free radicals or molecules that are potentially harmful to the body. In various studies, free radicals in high amounts can cause body damage such as chronic inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and various other types.<br /><br />Good source of B vitamins <br />Mung beans are also known to be an excellent source of B vitamins, especially their folate content. Folate is very important, especially during pregnancy. This content can help prevent several birth defects. No wonder some opinions often place mung beans as food that pregnant women need to consume.<br /><br />Reducing bad cholesterol levels.<br />High levels of bad cholesterol or LDL can increase the risk of heart disease. A review of 26 studies has shown that consuming 130 grams of mung beans helps reduce bad cholesterol levels in the blood significantly. These benefits occur due to the presence of high antioxidants in mung beans which help fight various chronic diseases, including heart disease.<br /><br />Reducing Blood Pressure <br />High blood pressure is a serious health problem because it puts us at risk for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide. The good news, this can be prevented by eating mung beans. Mung beans are a source of potassium, magnesium and fiber which can significantly lower blood pressure.<br /><br />Maintain Digestive Health <br />Mung beans are rich in fiber, which is about 15.4 grams per serving. In particular, mung beans contain a type of soluble fiber called pectin. This type of fiber can help maintain intestinal health and speed up the movement of food through the intestines.<br />Mung beans also contain resistant starch which is similar to soluble fiber. This resistant starch functions to maintain the balance of good bacteria in the digestive tract that nourish the cells in our large intestine. In this way, we can also avoid the risk of colon cancer.<br /><br />For more details, this is the nutrition in 100 grams of boiled mung beans.<br /> Water: 71 percent Calories: 109 Protein: 8.7 g Fat: 0.5 g Carbs: 18.3 g<br /> Fiber: 1.5 g Calcium: 95 mg Phosphorus: 149 mg Iron: 1.5 mg Sodium: 447 mg Potassium: 657.8 mg Copper: 1.40 mg Zinc: 2.8 mg Beta-Carotene: 18 mcg Thiamin ( Vit. B1): 0.12 mg Riboflavin (Vit. B2): 0.04 mg Niacin (Niacin): 0.4 mg Vitamin C: 3 mg<br /> <br />Side effects of consumption of mung beans<br />Too much consumption of mung beans can cause gas buildup in the stomach that triggers bloating. Research conducted by scientists from Arizona State University in Phoenix has proven this. According to researchers, gas buildup occurs due to an increase in dietary fiber. </p><p>Mung beans can also react with certain drugs so that the drug cannot function optimally. In fact, the reaction of mung beans with certain drugs can trigger physical reactions such as diarrhea.</p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-77830629223312862772020-12-01T11:03:00.004+07:002020-12-01T11:03:31.372+07:00Coronavirus Vaccine for Human<p>Is there a vaccine for coronavirus? There is no vaccine or specific treatment for coronavirus infection. However, the symptoms caused by corona virus can be treated. Treatment therefore must be based on the patient's clinical condition and supportive care can be very effective.<br /><br />World scientists are currently still trying to develop a vaccine for the Coronavirus. Of the hundreds of potential candidates, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that there are already several human corona virus vaccines that are in the stage III clinical trials. <br /><br />Claims of the effectiveness of the Coronavirus vaccine for human have started to emerge in various parts of the world. While vaccines normally take years of production, now these claims have emerged in just a few months since the pandemic began. One of them is the Pfizer vaccine, which clinical trials claim to reach 90% effectiveness. Pfizer's Coronavirus vaccine is the first to be declared successful in phase III clinical trials.<br /><br />Pfizer and BioNTech believe that their vaccine is effective in stopping the coronavirus pandemic. Two shots of the vaccine at an interval of three weeks are expected to make people immune to the coronavirus for up to one year.<br /><br />Apart from Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company Moderna has announced the results of its initial clinical trial analysis of its Corona vaccine. Just like Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna also claims effectiveness above 90 percent, namely 94.5%.<br /><br />Moderna Optimistic to Get Permit for Emergency Use of Corona Vaccines<br />Moderna will apply for an emergency use of the Corona vaccine to regulators in the US and Europe. CMO Moderna is also optimistic about obtaining the permit because clinical trial data shows that his vaccine can provide strong protection against COVID-19. Reporting from Reuters, Moderna has determined the selling price of the vaccine, which is worth US $ 25 and US $ 37 per dose.<br /><br />Meanwhile, US President-elect Joe Biden and US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, have met with state governors from both Democratic and Republican parties. This stance was taken to ensure the availability of a free Corona vaccine for Americans.<br /><br />So, when can the corona virus vaccine be used en masse? Some experts predict that a Corona virus vaccine could be available in 2021 if all goes well.<br /><br /></p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-38261332511582826842020-12-01T10:14:00.001+07:002020-12-01T10:14:15.172+07:00Simple Habits Can Increase Your Immunity Against CoronaVirus<p> Throughout 2020, people in the world are worried about the COVID-19. Until now, there are no signs of the end of the Corona virus pandemic. To prevent this transmission, a number of efforts are made such as maintaining cleanliness and living a healthy lifestyle.<br /><br />There are some simple things you can do to improve a formidable defense against coronavirus. Some simple habits that are done regularly can help strengthen the body's immune system. Starting from sunbathing, adequate rest, and exercise can help boost the body's immune system to prevent COVID-19.<br /><br />1. Sunbathing<br />Bask under the sun is a simple way to boost the body's immune system. This is because sunlight produces vitamin D which comes from ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays. Vitamin D is believed to have a good effect on the immune system.<br /><br />A randomized controlled trial published by the National Library of Medicine followed 340 Japanese schoolchildren for four months during flu season. Half of the participants received 1,200 IU of vitamin D supplements while the other half received placebo pills. The researchers found that flu levels in the vitamin D group were roughly 40 percent lower than in the placebo group.<br /><br />Although you can get vitamin D from food, experts still recommend that the best way to increase levels of this vitamin is to get direct sunlight.<br /><br />2. Drink water regularly<br />Drinking water every day has many health benefits for the body. Routinely drinking water is beneficial so that the body remains hydrated and increases the immune system.<br /><br />A hydrated body is very important for maintaining a healthy body. This is because water helps remove all the toxins in the body.<br /><br />3. Wash your hands diligently<br />Washing hands is one of the measures to prevent the transmission of the Corona virus. Washing your hands with soap and running water for at least 20 seconds is the best way to kill germs.<br /><br />Apart from washing hands, the use of hand sanitizers is also recommended after we touch objects. We touch many surfaces that contain different kinds of germs. One study found that people could touch their face with their hands about 23 times per hour. If we don't keep our hands clean, viruses and germs will easily enter the body.<br /><br />4. Exercise<br />The benefits of exercise are no doubt for the health of the body. Regular aerobic exercise is good for the heart, lungs, brain and immune system. In general, a healthier body is better equipped to fend off illness and infection, especially upper respiratory tract infections such as colds and flu.<br /><br />In one study published in the British Medical Journal, researchers followed 1000 men and women for 12 weeks during fall and winter while monitoring them for symptoms and severity of upper respiratory tract infections.<br /><br />Subjects who reported doing five or more days of aerobic activity per week had 43% fewer days of upper respiratory tract infections than subjects who did not do aerobics.<br /><br />5. Consume probiotic foods<br />Kefir, fermented milk drinks, and yogurt that contain probiotics, are known to reduce the body's inflammatory response. One study found that the good gut bacteria found in probiotic foods shortened the duration of a cold by 2 days and reduced the severity of symptoms by 34%.<br /><br />6. Avoid Stress<br />Psychological stress can trigger the production of the stress hormone cortisol. Chronic accumulation of cortisol causes the immune system to become "resistant", allowing increased production of inflammatory cytokines that further compromise the immune system.<br /><br />To reduce harmful stress, try to play with pets. A Washington State University study found that cuddling with a dog or cat for 10 minutes had a significant effect on decreasing cortisol levels.<br /><br />7. Sleep more than seven hours<br />Sleeping more than seven hours a night can boost the body's immune system. A study shows that lack of sleep can significantly reduce the strength of the immune system.<br /><br />A number of sleep researchers at the University of California-San Francisco, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center tested this theory by exposing 164 volunteers to the flu virus through nasal drops while monitoring their sleep and evaluating their health habits.<br /><br />The results of the study showed participants who slept less than five hours were more likely to catch the flu than those who regularly slept seven hours a night.</p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-59220174427828619352020-10-15T10:39:00.004+07:002020-10-15T10:39:44.537+07:00Mango Nutrition and its Benefits for Health<p> Mango is a tropical fruit with a variety of different flavors. Its aroma, texture and taste makes mango a popular fruit for various groups. The easy and varied way to consume it also makes this fruit a favorite of many people. How to eat a mango? you can peel the skin then cut it or make it into juice. Mango has many health benefits. Starting from the benefits for the skin, eye vision, digestion, immunity, to preventing the risk of cancer.<br /><br />Mango Nutrition<br />These various benefits cannot be separated from the nutritional content of mangoes. One of the unique features of mangoes is that they are low in calories but dense in vitamins and antioxidants. More fully, here are the nutritional content in a cup or 165 grams of mango slices quoted from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). <br />Calories: 99 <br />Protein: 1.4 grams <br />Carbohydrates: 24.7 grams <br />Fat: 0.6 grams <br />Dietary fiber: 2.6 grams <br />Vitamin C: 67 % of the recommended daily requirement needs<br />Copper: 20 % of the recommended daily requirement needs<br />Folate: 18 % of the recommended daily requirement needs <br />Vitamin B6: 11.6 % <br />Vitamin A: 10 %<br />Vitamin E: 9.7 %<br />Vitamin B5: 6.5 % <br />Vitamin K: 6 %<br />Niacin: 7 %<br />Potassium: 6 %<br />Riboflavin: 5 % <br />Manganese: 4.5 % <br />Thiamine: 4 %<br />Magnesium: 4 % <br /><br />Quoted from Verywell Fit, one cup of mango chunks has 99 calories, most of which come from carbohydrates. In this portion, the carbohydrate obtained is 25 grams. Of that, about 23 grams are natural sugars and nearly 3 grams are fiber.<br /><br />The glycemic index of mango is estimated to be around 51. Foods with a glycemic index of 55 or lower are generally considered low glycemic foods. The glycemic load of one cup serving of mango is estimated to be 8. The glycemic load considers serving size when estimating the effect of food on blood sugar.<br /><br />Mango is a fruit that is rich in fiber. This makes mangoes a suitable food if you are dieting. This content also makes mango consumption keep you from feeling hungry. Unfortunately, mango is not a good source of protein. In a cup of mango, you get only 1.4 grams of protein.<br /><br />Water<br />Mango is a fruit that contains a lot of water. Quoted from Food NDTV, in 100 grams of mango there are 83.46 grams of water. This makes mangoes the right choice to stay hydrated.<br /><br />Fat<br />Mango is an almost fat free food. One cup serving provides only about 0.6 grams of fat. Most of the fat is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, both of which are considered healthy fats.<br /><br />Vitamins and minerals<br />Mangoes are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C. One cup serving provides 66 percent of your daily vitamin C requirement. Mangoes are also rich in vitamin A, vitamin B6, and small amounts of vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, niacin and pantothenic acid. Minerals in mangoes include copper, potassium, and magnesium.<br /><br />Antioxidants <br />Mangoes are known to contain antioxidants that are good for the body. Quoted from Healthline, mangoes are rich in polyphenols or plant compounds that function as antioxidants. There are many types of polyphenols in mangoes, including mangiferin, catechin, anthocyanin, quercetin, kaempferol, rhamnetin, benzoic acid and many others. Antioxidants are important because they protect cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are highly reactive compounds that can bind to and damage cells. Research has linked free radical damage to signs of aging and chronic disease. Among the polyphenols in mangoes, mangiferin is the most interesting and is sometimes called the "super antioxidant" because it is so powerful.<br /><br /></p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-69653141590828874932020-10-12T11:30:00.004+07:002020-10-12T11:30:58.700+07:00Banana Nutrition<p> Various health benefits are associated with the banana fruit. Starting from protection from type 2 diabetes, losing weight, and strengthening the nervous system. Bananas are believed to treat insomnia because of their high carbohydrate content. The carbohydrates in bananas will increase tryptophan in the brain. Tryptophan is what will make the hormone serotonin increase and ultimately make us sleepy.<br />These benefits cannot be separated from the nutritional content in this curved fruit. Yes, banana is rich in various kinds of nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, fiber, vitamin C, and various antioxidants.<br /><br />More fully, here are the nutrition facts in 100 grams of bananas quoted from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). <br />Banana Calories: 89 <br />Water: 75 percent <br />Protein: 1.1 grams <br />Carbohydrates: 22.8 grams <br />Sugar: 12.2 grams <br />Fiber: 2.6 grams <br />Fat: 0.3 grams<br /><br />Bananas are a great source of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates in this fruit change with the level of maturity. The main carbohydrate component of raw banana is starch. Unripe bananas contain 80 percent starch. During the ripening process, starch is converted into sugar. Thus, the starch component is only 1 percent ripe.<br /><br />When a banana is ripe, some of the resistant starch (fiber) is converted to sugar which means a yellow banana with brown spots has more sugar and less fiber than a green banana of the same size. The carbohydrates in ripe bananas are sugar and fiber. The most common types of sugar found in ripe bananas are sucrose, fructose, and glucose. Bananas have a relatively low glycemic index (GI), which is 42-58.<br /><br />Fiber<br />The high proportion of starch in unripe bananas is resistant starch, which passes through the intestines without being digested. In the large intestine, this starch is fermented by bacteria to form butyrate, a short chain fatty acid that has good effects on the intestines. Bananas are also a good source of other types of fiber, such as pectin. Some of the pectins in bananas are water soluble. As bananas ripen, the proportion of pectin that is soluble in water increases. This is why bananas become soft as they ripen. Both pectin and resistant starch can cause an increase in blood sugar after eating.<br /><br />Fat<br />Banana is a low fat fruit. The fat content in bananas is less than half a gram per medium banana.<br /><br />Protein<br />Banana is also quite low in protein. The protein content is only 1.5 grams per medium banana.<br /><br />Vitamins and minerals </p><p>Bananas are a source of several vitamins and minerals that are good for the body. Bananas are known for their potassium content. One medium banana offers 422 mg of potassium, or about 9 percent of the daily requirement. According to research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, a diet high in potassium can lower blood pressure in people with high levels and is beneficial for heart health. <br /><br />other nutrients<br />Apart from potassium, bananas contain some vitamin C, folate (vitamin B6), magnesium, and choline. Bananas also contain other bio-active compounds. Some of them: The dopamine in bananas does not act as a neurotransmitter in the brain. This is because the dopamine in bananas does not cross the blood-brain barrier which can affect mood. In contrast, the dopamine in bananas acts as an antioxidant. Catechins are one of the flavonoid antioxidants found in bananas. This content is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.</p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-63131441183706227562020-10-06T11:14:00.001+07:002020-10-06T11:14:13.817+07:004 Keys to Maintaining Body Fitness<p> Body fitness is one of the shields to ward off the Corona virus (COVID-19). A fit body will form a strong immune system so that it is not easily infected by the corona virus. There are 4 keys to maintaining physical and mental fitness. The four are as follows:<br /><br />1. Get enough rest<br />Ideally a person sleeps 6-8 hours a day. Fatigue from lack of sleep can make the body easily drop.<br /><br />2.

However, some experts say there are warning signs that may appear before common symptoms are detected.<br />Scientists from King's College London have found that people infected with virus often complain of headaches and fatigue even before the main corona virus symptoms appear.<br /><br />Using data from the corona virus Symptoms Tracking app, they found 82 percent of the patients experienced headaches and 72 percent experienced excessive fatigue before classic symptoms appeared. They also found that only 9 percent of adults between the ages of 18 and 65 said that they did not experience headaches or fatigue within the first seven days after being infected by corona virus. But, It's just that these two conditions can also be signs of other illnesses, which is why many patients don't test for corona virus after they experience headaches or fatigue. Having one or both of these symptoms cannot be an indication of corona virus.<br /><br />Additionally, their study shows that 40 percent of all age groups report having a fever within the first seven days. The loss of smell and the persistent cough are still the main symptoms to watch out for and someone who has it should undergo a corona virus test.<br /><br />Experts also noted some variation in symptoms across different age groups. Headaches, anosmia, persistent cough, and sore throat are reported more frequently by adults between the ages of 18 and 65, than by the elderly or children.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the loss of smell was more common in the adult age group - 55 percent, compared to 21 percent for children and 26 percent for the elderly. Those over the age of 65 reported confusion, disorientation and severe shortness of breath more frequently than other groups, while overall these symptoms were less common in those aged 18-65 years.</p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-80063233758328808842020-09-17T10:27:00.004+07:002020-09-17T10:27:48.656+07:00Benefits of the Keto Diet<p>In addition to losing weight, the keto diet is also beneficial for diabetes. Diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar and impaired insulin function. The keto diet can help you get rid of excess bad fats which are closely related to type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Increased insulin sensitivity due to the keto diet can also make some diabetics stop using diabetes drugs. <br /><br />Other various health benefits of the keto diet include:<br />Heart disease. The keto diet can reduce risk factors for heart disease, such as body fat, HDL cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar.<br />The keto diet is used in the treatment of many types of cancer and to slow tumor growth.<br />Alzheimer's disease. The keto diet can reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and slow its progress.<br />The keto diet can reduce seizures in epileptic children.<br />Parkinson's disease. The keto diet can improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease.<br />Although this is useful, more research is still needed to prove the various benefits of the keto diet.</p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-48958184344580605742020-09-17T10:16:00.001+07:002020-09-17T10:16:08.524+07:00Keto Diet for Beginners<p> Having an ideal body would be everyone's dream.

The keto diet is a low-carb and high-fat diet. This diet is done by reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbohydrates makes the body enter a natural metabolic state called ketosis, where the body produces fat to be processed into energy. There are several types of keto diets that can be lived, namely:<br /><br />the Standard keto diet: This is a low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat diet. This diet is done by consuming 75% fat, 20% protein, and only 5% carbohydrates. This type of keto diet is the most researched and recommended.<br /><br />the Cycle keto diet: This diet is done with 5 days of standard keto, and 2 days of high carbohydrates. This diet is mostly done by athletes.<br /><br />the Targeted keto diet: This diet allows you to add carbohydrates to your diet around the time of physical exercise. Usually this diet is carried out by athletes.</p><p>the High protein keto diet: This diet is similar to the standard keto diet, but higher in protein. This is done by consuming 60% fat, 35% protein, and 5% carbohydrates.<br /><br />Usually, the recommended keto diet options for beginners are the standard keto diet and the high protein keto diet. <br /><br />Usually, the recommended keto diet options for beginners are the standard keto diet and the high protein keto diet. The keto diet is an effective way to lose weight and risk factors for disease. Based on research, the fact is that the keto diet is superior to the low-fat diet that is often recommended. In addition, this diet also keeps you full. People on the keto diet lost more weight than people on a low-fat diet. <br /></p>ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-89080716188992678902020-09-15T10:58:00.004+07:002020-09-15T10:58:24.702+07:00Easy Weight LossWeight loss is a life-style; isn't a one-time activity.

Piceatannol actually change the timing of gene expression, gene function and insulin action during <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipogenesis" target="_blank">adipogenesis</a>, the process by which fat cells entered the early stages of mature fat cells.<br /><br />Piceatannol could bind to insulin receptors than fat cells in the first stage of adipogenesis, and hinder the ability of insulin to control the cell cycle and activating genes that perform more advanced stages of the formation of fat cells.ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-76105207125641328542012-04-24T09:15:00.000+07:002012-04-24T09:16:23.983+07:00Massage for Pregnant WomenMassage as a treatment media has been used for centuries to improve overall health, relieve stress, and relieve stiffness and muscle tension. Investigation and modern research proves that therapy with a prenatal massage can be a very good way to treatment before the mother having a baby, if it is given in the right way.<br /><br />Prenatal massage is recommended during pregnancy because many pregnant women showed that the general anxiety associated with the skeletal system and circulatory system changes due to hormonal changes during pregnancy.<br /><br />Research conducted 10 years ago showed that hormone levels associated with relaxation and stress, which promotes improved cardiovascular health, when massage therapy was introduced for prenatal care. Hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol ("stress hormone") is reduced, and increased levels of dopamine and serotonin in women who do massage every two weeks for only five weeks. Changes in hormone levels reduce the difficulties during the birth and minimize the difficulties of the newborn, such as weight / low birth weight.<br /><br />benefits of pregnancy massage<br />The study showed that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pain, and improve the health of newborns. Massage therapy show different needs through varying techniques, one of which is a traditional massage, which is useful for relaxing muscle tension and improve circulation of lymph and blood circulation through a softly pressure to the muscle group in the body.<br /><br />There are several requirements regarding the massage of pregnant women :<br />1. pregnancy is not problematic -talk to your doctor about this.<br />2. to keep unwanted things, it is better done at womb by the age of 5 months, where the body was starting to feel more tired as the starting heavy loads.<br />3. performed by a trained therapist (professional) to massage pregnant women because there are certain body parts which, when massaged would cause early uterine contractions. Massage for pregnant women should only be done on certain parts like hands, feet, back, and neck. Hips, stomach and waist should not be massaged.ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-32713704781841805902012-03-29T09:31:00.001+07:002012-03-29T09:31:58.831+07:00Complications of Influenza Can be SeriousFor the majority of people, flu is considered normal and included only light illness. Stay of rest and take medicine and then cured. Many others are still doing business as usual when suffering from flu.<br /><br />In fact, according to World Health Organization (WHO), every year there are five million people are hospitalized because of severe flu, aka influenza. In fact 500,000 people worldwide die from flu and its complications!<br /><br />Although both are caused by viruses, influenza is very different from the common cold with cough illnesses. If cough and cold disease with fever can heal itself by getting enough rest, influenza can cause serious complications such as pneumonia.<br /><br />Many diseases are caused by a virus called flu but it is really not influenza. This of course caused great confusion. Influenza disease caused by three types of virus, ie virus A, B, and C. It all spread from one person to another through saliva splashes or direct contact such as shaking hands with someone who has just sneezed.<br /><br />Influenza usually strikes along with fever, chills, muscle aches and fatigue, weakness, malaise and sore throat. All the signs and symptoms are almost the same as regular cough and cold but tend to be more severe. If symptoms occur more than three days, it is usually influenza.<br /><br />Influenza epidemics that occur every year can affect anyone, but there are certain groups that have a high risk of influenza complications. Groups include children aged less than two years, people aged over 65 years, pregnant women, people with chronic diseases, and medical service officers.<br /><br />More than 90 percent of deaths from influenza occurred in the age group over 65 years old. they have low body immunity so that it can lead to complications of pneumonia, some even cause infections of the heart.<br /><br />Patients with chronic diseases like heart disease, lung or asthma are also potentially more likely to suffer complications from influenza. Meanwhile, the medical services personnel such as doctors, nurses, or midwives are also vulnerable to exposure to influenza virus and spread it to other patients.<br /><br />Primary way to prevent against flu is to keep the immune system and clean life. Eating a nutritious food and do not forget the fruit. Frequent hand washing with soap is also recommended because the virus can spread through direct contact.<br /><br />Patients with influenza are also advised to rest at home until the disease is cured. In addition to accelerating healing, rest at home also can prevent transmission of disease to others -very bad if the service at the office is disrupted because many employees have the flu!ariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14532388114615798567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804331681829429974.post-54204837999476919762012-03-26T09:48:00.000+07:002012-03-26T09:49:29.756+07:00Food to Prevent MigrainesSome foods are often touted as an alternative treatment of certain diseases, including migraine headache.

Nuts<br />a number of studies have linked between magnesium deficiency and migraine. From the results showed that half of migraine sufferers have a number of ionized magnesium in the blood in small quantities. Try to frequent consumption of nuts. Magnesium in nuts protects the body from headaches by relaxing the blood vessels. Other things, magnesium believed effective for calming the mind in a state of tension during migraine headache.<br /><br />5. Skim milk<br />riboflavin or commonly known as vitamin B2 has an important role in forming red blood cells, antibodies in the body, and also plays a role in releasing energy from carbohydrates. Closely associated with migraines, riboflavin in skim milk has an important role in producing energy for the lack of energy -could be expected to trigger a migraine.<br /><br />6. Spinach <br />Spinach is one of the most famous of green vegetables. Spinach is loaded with magnesium, a powerful block of migraine. Magnesium and minerals contained in spinach not only as a contributor to health, but also able to reduce stress that is often disturbing.
