A lot of tooth decay occurs in modern societies is associated with several diseases
such as heart disease and diabetes. The discovery is based on the research of nutrition and health experts in New York.
Dr. Philippe P. Hujoel of the University of Washington School of Dentistry in Seattle said the most damage to teeth caused by a lot of carbohydrates contained in the basic materials of food today. Carbohydrate here including foods containing sugar and starch to be broken down into sugar in the mouth, as well as from the dried fruits.
Hujoel in the journal Dental research reveals that gum disease and tooth decay is a sign of alarm signal can be a person more at risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health problems.
Research also shows that gum disease are caused by excessive sugar intake, which then increased in a few weeks when people avoid carbohydrates. If it continues then it might be associated with chronic illnesses will also continue.
"Clearly, the alarm bell of the tooth has a very low yangs limit for activation, responses that occurred a long time can require many months or even achieve an annual, as opposed to the decades it takes for the disease is clinically visible," Hujoel said, as quoted from Reuters, Tuesday (28/07/2009).
Hujoel said to follow-up study was to determine the diet that is good for dental health but also good for pushing your overall health. Because it could be dental disease will increase along with changes in lifestyle.
From now on take care of your teeth like other body part, because the teeth also play an important role in creating a healthy body overall.

Developing baby get glucose from the mother through the placenta. After birth, babies get glucose to produce in the heart and from food.
Glucose levels can be reduced if:
- Too many hormones, insulin (hyperinsulinism).
- Insulin glucose from the blood into cells to be used for energy.
- Not enough glycogen, the form of glucose stored in the body.
- Babies are not enough to produce glucose.
Symptom
Infants with hypoglycemia may not have symptoms sprsifik. But in general include:
- Bluish skin (cyanosis)
- Problems breathing
- Decrease the muscle tone (hypotonia)
- Snort
- Irritability
- Lethargy
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pale
- Pause in breathing (apnea)
- Lack of appetite
- Sweating
- Tremor
- Seizures
Treatment
Infants with hypoglycemia may have to accept:
Breast milk or formula feeding within the first few hours after birth, either by mouth or through a tube inserted through his nose into the stomach (nasogastric gavage). Eat with sugar solution through a vein (intravenous) or by mouth. Treatment is usually continued for a week.
If the low blood sugar continues, the baby may also receive medication to increase blood glucose (diazoxide) or to reduce the production of insulin (ocreotide).

In normal conditions when the male orgasm, the sperm is released from each testicle. From each testis, the sperm then travels through a tube called the vas deferens. The vas deferens leads to the prostate, where the sperm mixed with semen. Muscle at the opening of the bladder (bladder neck) tightened to prevent the semen into the bladder as it passes into the tube in the penis (urethra). This is the same muscle that apply urine in the bladder until urination. With retrograde ejaculation, bladder neck muscles are not tightened properly. As a result, the sperm can enter the bladder instead of pushed out of the body through the penis.
Some conditions that can cause problems with muscles that close the bladder during ejaculation, among others:
- Operations such as in bladder neck surgery or prostate surgery
- The side effects of certain medications used to treat high blood pressure, prostate enlargement and mood disorders
- Nerve damage caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury
Symptom
Retrograde ejaculation does not affect the ability for the erection or having an orgasm - but when reaching the climax, the sperm into the bladder instead of out of the penis. Symptoms and signs of retrograde ejaculation include:
- Orgasm dry, one type of orgasm where very little or no semen came out of the penis

Healthy tips to prevent diabetes disease
A team of scientists reported new evidence that drinking coffee may help prevent diabetes, which is expected largely because the caffeine content in coffee. This is the first findings that clearly link between caffeine and diabetes, which is shown in experiments on animals. The findings are published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, published by the American Chemical Society (ACS), Thursday (10/06/2010).
The researchers, Fumihiko Horio and colleagues, noted that recent research has shown that drinking coffee regularly can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. This disease affects millions of people in the United States and is increasing worldwide. However, little evidence from studies conducted on animals in laboratories, which used to do research that could not be done in humans.
The scientists fed the coffee to a group of rats in a laboratory which is used to study diabetes. Coffee consumption to prevent the development of high blood sugar and also improve insulin sensitivity in rats, thus reducing the risk of diabetes.
Coffee also provides other benefits such as favorable changes in the fatty liver and inflammation of adipocytokines associated with decreased risk of diabetes. This study also showed that caffeine might be "one of the anti-diabetic compounds are most effective in the coffee," the scientists said.

Simple tips to recover faster from flu
Erratic weather can make anyone who got the flu or common cold. Initial symptoms such as sneezing and fever can disappear without treatment, only with a few simple steps such as rest and drink green tea.
Flu categorized as self limiting flu disease, which means to get rid of its own without treatment. The treatment is needed if symptoms are severe enough to disrupt the event. If mild symptoms, then the naturally immune system would give resistance to flu viruses.
Here are some tips to help improve the immune system when exposed to the flu, was quoted from MensHealth:
Breakfast antivirus
If you wake up in unhealthy conditions, do not ever skip breakfast. A study in the Netherlands proves, as much as 1200 calories for breakfast increased levels of gamma interferon in the blood up to 450 times more than no breakfast. Is a natural antiviral compounds in the body that serves to ward off the flu.
Fight with stress
If prolonged, stress can indeed weaken the immune system. But for the short term, busied himself with the hard work actually effective in reducing symptoms of the flu. According to a study at Ohio State University, the short-term stress can fight the flu if it lasted no more than half or one day.
Brewed coffee or green tea
Coffee or green tea in the afternoon not only make the body more relaxed, but help the immune system to fight viruses. Coffee or green tea drinks also contain epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has a property to turn off the virus. These tips have studied in Canada, by incorporating green tea into the colonies of adenovirus causes the flu. The result, the activity or replication of the virus multiplies at a stop.
Adequate rest
Ideally in a day to sleep not less than 7-8 hours. According to research at UCLA, decreased sleep time by 40 percent would lower the immune system up to 50 percent. But do not sleep with a way to force occasionally drink alcohol because it actually weakens the body immune system. We recommend using a loose-fitting clothing such as t-shirts and shorts to faster circulation, and can sleep more comfortably.
Still do light activity
Research conducted by the University of Massachusetts to prove, that a mild physical activity can reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections by 25 percent compared to just quiet during the day. Mild activity triggers the production of white blood cells, whose function is to fight the virus or bacterial infection. These activities should not be too heavy, because fatigue makes the body vulnerable to infection. Even though the marathon athletes, the risk of infection will increase after the race.

A study in the Netherlands proves, as much as 1200 calories for breakfast increased levels of gamma interferon in the blood up to 450 times more than no breakfast. Is a natural antiviral compounds in the body that serves to ward off the flu.
Fight with stress
If prolonged, stress can indeed weaken the immune system. But for the short term, busied himself with the hard work actually effective in reducing symptoms of the flu. According to a study at Ohio State University, the short-term stress can fight the flu if it lasted no more than half or one day.
Brewed coffee or green tea
Coffee or green tea in the afternoon not only make the body more relaxed, but help the immune system to fight viruses. Coffee or green tea drinks also contain epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has a property to turn off the virus. These tips have studied in Canada, by incorporating green tea into the colonies of adenovirus causes the flu. The result, the activity or replication of the virus multiplies at a stop.
Adequate rest
Ideally in a day to sleep not less than 7-8 hours. According to research at UCLA, decreased sleep time by 40 percent would lower the immune system up to 50 percent. But do not sleep with a way to force occasionally drink alcohol because it actually weakens the body immune system. We recommend using a loose-fitting clothing such as t-shirts and shorts to faster circulation, and can sleep more comfortably.
Still do light activity
Research conducted by the University of Massachusetts to prove, that a mild physical activity can reduce the risk of respiratory tract infections by 25 percent compared to just quiet during the day. Mild activity triggers the production of white blood cells, whose function is to fight the virus or bacterial infection. These activities should not be too heavy, because fatigue makes the body vulnerable to infection. Even though the marathon athletes, the risk of infection will increase after the race.
When the body caught flu?
The virus that causes avian influenza has an incubation period of time had gone into someone's body. When the body caught flu?
The experts agree that adults get the flu or a cold can be contagious one day before symptoms begin to emerge.
During this incubation period, the virus will get into healthy cells and interfere with the survival of healthy cells from the inside. When cells started to become infected, usually have not shown any symptoms.
When the virus has spread throughout the body so any saliva or sneezing issued will contain the flu virus. That's why the flu virus is easily spread through body fluids.
When the virus has spread throughout the body will rise to symptoms such as sore throat, the body feels uncomfortable and dizzy. But if the symptoms yet, very little possibility of transmitting to others.
If someone has the flu, the contagious period to another may take 5-7 days. As for the children, infectious period can last up to two weeks.
As quoted from HowStuffWorks, Wednesday (31/03/2010) in general incubation period of flu virus in a person will run for two days. However, in some cases there also lasted about 1-4 days. Therefore, the period of the incubation period is very short-flu virus.
When the flu, the most important thing to do is to consume plenty of fluids such as water, juice, soup or other liquids as well as adequate rest. This is very important to help the immune system fight infection and maintain so as not to worsen the condition.
The annual flu vaccination is one way to build protection against the flu virus attacks. Although this vaccination can not provide protection up to 100 percent, but can prevent the condition in order not to deteriorate.
Other measures that can be done is to maintain personal hygiene, cover nose and mouth when sneezing, eating healthy foods that contain lots of vitamins and adequate water consumption.

How Often Should Weight Loss Measured?
People who are want to fatten or thin body usually often measure their weight. This is done to know there are changes or not. How often does one measure the weight?
In 2005, researchers from the University of Minnesota conduct a joint study of more than 3000 people who want to lose or maintain weight. The results obtained about 40 percent of the participants to measure their weight every day, about 20 percent measured once a week and 40 percent more often to check your weight.
This study was conducted over two years and reported that people who are too obsessive to the weight of his body was able to lose weight is greatest. But this can also trigger increased stress and depression for the person.
As quoted from Thatsfit, Thursday (20/05/2010) best time to measure the weight loss is in the morning after going to toilet, since the results obtained is the most accurate readings. While a good frequency to measure the weight loss should not every day, but enough once in a week.
If someone measure their weight once a week, then this condition is quite normal to see fluctuations (the rising and falling) body weight than if you see it every day. In addition it can also be a motivator optimal for that person. Since it is very important to obtain an accurate figure in determining the pattern of increase or decrease in body weight.
But if someone measure their weight every day, then tended to quickly under stress because it is not too found differences or changes in the amount of weight.
"The biggest reason for not measuring body weight every day because it can make a person has an unhealthy obsession with her body, triggering a person has an eating disorder," said Joe Shrand, a mental health expert and instructor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
So if someone wants to lose or maintain weight, not necessarily to control every day. Because it can so it is not making you get your ideal weight, but instead trigger eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia or malnutrition.

Overcome Difficulties Fimosis Penis Circumcision in Children
One of the problems that can occur on the penis boys are experiencing fimosis (phimosis). Children who experience fimosis always feel pain when urinating. This condition is generally treated by circumcision or circumcision.
Fimosis is the condition of the foreskin (the skin that covers one end of the penis) can not be withdrawn so that the skin covering the hole or the urinary tract that cause children to feel pain when urinating. As quoted from Menshealth.about.com, Tuesday (18/05/2010) fimosis can be caused by:
1. The failure of foreskin to loose during the growth process
2. Infections such as balinitis
3. Defects caused by trauma
4. Diseases of the genitalia.
Infection occurred possibilities arising from the inability to do an effective cleanup so that causes swelling, redness and pain in the area.
In addition to pain and pain during urination, fimosis is also often accompanied by symptoms:
1. The front of the penis which inflates
2. Children cry when urinating because of pain arising
3. Urine not pass out
4. Sometimes accompanied by high fever or irritation of the penis.
Fimosis this can happen because of congenital (congenital since the baby was born) or can be caused by recurrent inflammation that occurs in the front skin of the penis (foreskin).
Children are often difficult to express what he experiences, so that the parent should be carefully watched and saw what happened with her son.
Some medical experts have different opinions regarding the treatment of this condition, including one prohibiting conduct a surgical treatment till the child reaches puberty. But if this was the cause of fimosis xeroticia obliterans Balanitis due to infection, then the only treatment is to perform a surgical circumcision.
Nevertheless there are some medications that can be done to overcome fimosis, namely:
1. Using tropical creams, steroids and non-steroid topical at the foreskin.
2. Stretching gradually to open the foreskin so it is more lax.
3. Surgery to reshape the foreskin and make it more broadly.
Generally if fimosis not go away after treatment is given in the form of creams and stretch, then the doctor will recommend circumcision performed to remove the foreskins.
Until now, circumcision or circumcision remains an effective treatment for fimosis, and the circumcision itself is not going to disrupt the reproductive function of these children later. After the circumcision, parents and children must keep clean to prevent infection of the urinary tract that can inhibit the return.
Also try to always clean the penis head slowly each time the child finished urination. It is important to maintain cleanliness and prevent urinary tract obstruction by dirt.

An ambulance with a patient's heart Do not be too tight
Seoul - Ambulance usually full speed in order to quickly arrive at the hospital and could save lives of patients. But an ambulance carrying a heart patient should reduce the speed, because high speeds it dangerous for the patient.
This was conveyed by the doctors in Korea. Ambulance carrying heart patient who received lung or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Resuscitation (CPR), which is a medical emergency procedures are intended for a heart attack, should reduce the speed.
Using a computer model called Resusci Anne, the researchers monitor the performance of emergency medical technicians, lighting, sound and speed of ambulance sirens.
It was found that there was an increase in depth and emphasis on chest. But what makes researchers more worried is the emergency medical technicians are less likely to use CPR when the ambulance drove at full speed, and this would be dangerous for heart attack patients.
Reasons for emergency medical technicians hands-off is not clear. But so far there is no blood that is pumped into the body at the time the patient suffered a heart attack and transported by ambulance, so the brain and other vital organs 'starved' of oxygen.
"At the speed of 60 kilometers per hour or faster, then no additional blood flow within a few seconds, compared with the speed of 30 kilometers per hour, or slower again," said Dr. Chung Tae Nyoung, an emergency physician at the Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea, who led the study, as quoted from Reuters, Tuesday (18/05/2010).
Dr Chung also said that he gave was when the ambulance drove on a straight road without lights or impeded traffic.
But, in fact, sharp turns, bumpy roads and traffic congestion will probably increase the effect on patients.
Based on the findings published in the journal Resuscitation, maybe there are speed limits of 30 km per hour and 60 km per hour, which does not raise his hand off the portion of emergency medical technicians while maintaining the speed of the ambulance.
Rate this velocity can be recommended as a transportation speed limit for ambulances with ongoing CPR.
But Dr. Dana Edelson, Chairman of the Association CPR Committee at the University of Chicago, gave a warning before the ambulance started to reduce speed. According to him, CPR is still important for survival, and he noted that the effects found in this study 'very small'.
"The disadvantage of slowing down an ambulance is needed more time to get to the hospital. We must find other ways to improve the quality of CPR," added Dr. Edelson.
One way to enhance the quality recommended by the American Heart Association is so that emergency medical technicians can perform no matter where the patient requires resuscitation, including at the time had to run to the hospital patients in the high-speed ambulance.
Experts say it is common practice in Korea and the United States. For example, some patients having a heart attack during transportation, and others may not respond to CPR at the beginning.
"While some emergency services running at medium speed for an ambulance when an emergency medical technician doing chest presses, there is currently no formal guidelines," said Jerry Johnston, a paramedic and former president of National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians.
Johnston added a comprehensive recommendation now is that people who drive an ambulance must be really conscious effort to make the journey smoother for quality CPR can be performed by emergency medical technicians.

When Dirt Ears Need Cleaned?
Have earwax protects the ear from damage and infection and should be less frequent cleaning. But ear wax is also sometimes interfere with hearing. When should earwax cleaned?
The skin on the outer ear canal has special glands that produce earwax, known as cerumen. Usually, a small amount of ear wax accumulates and then dries up and out of the ear canal, bringing the unwanted particles of dust or sand.
Cerumen or earwax forms differ between people with one another. Maybe almost a liquid, solid and firm or in the form of dry skin. The color also varies depending on the composition. Most of the ear canal can clean itself, by way of ear canal skin lining the ear drum to migrate from the outer ear opening. Old earwax will continue to be transported from the deeper regions of the ear canal toward the exit, usually dry, flakes and falls.
When should be cleaned?
In ideal circumstances, a person should not need to clean his ears. But sometimes people are too often even cleaning ears ears up any liquid dry lubricant.
As quoted from MedicineNet, Tuesday (05/18/2010), excessive ear wax can form inside the ear canal for various reasons, among others:
1. Narrowing of the ear canal caused by infection or skin disease, bone, or connective tissue
2. Production of liquid cerumen less (more common in older people because aging of the glands that produce earwax)
3. Excessive Cerumen in response to trauma or blockage in the ear canal
When ear wax accumulates so much so as to form a block and disrupt the auditory ear canal, ear wax is then that needs to be cleaned. People might try to use a cotton bud (ear cleaning with cotton) or ear drops if the dirt telingan too hard.
Use a cotton bud best done when the state of liquid and a little ear wax is not hard. Because if the hard ear wax, then use a cotton bud can make even the dirt is getting into the ear. And to use ear drops, it is very important to know that your ears are not perforated (leaking) the ear drum before using the product.
Using ear drops with the state of perforated eardrum can cause infections of the middle ear. And also if accompanied by pain, local pain or skin rash drug use drops should be stopped. At a time like this, the doctor may need to clean out earwax (also known as lavage), with a vacuum, or even to clean with special instruments.

Diseases Due to Stress
Stress is not just a psychological problem, because its impact is also large enough to physical health. Easily recognizable symptoms, but rarely seen as a sign that stress was struck. There are at least 10 illnesses caused by stress.
The reality is often stress is not considered necessary to treat, especially if the result only minor complaints such as migraines and stomach pains. People still expect the disease will be cured after the stress is gone so it does not need to be treated. Here are some health concerns that are often experienced when the stress hit, cited in Prevention, Thursday (05/20/2010).
Headache and migraine
Endurance may decline because of stress and trigger migraines by Todd Schwedt, MD, director of the headache center at Washington University. To avoid this, make sure to eat and sleep patterns in a week is always awake.
Cramps are very painful
When the stress hormone imbalance can cause a very painful cramps, especially in women. Under stress, the risk of experiencing cramps two times greater because of higher sympathetic nerve activity. Regular exercise can prevent it.
Pain around the mouth
Jaw pain is a sign that stress was struck. Unwittingly, the upper and lower teeth menggeretak each other during times of stress and trigger excessive pressure at the temples. These symptoms can be prevented by installing a protector between the teeth during sleep at night.
Rarely had a dream while sleeping
Dreams are formed gradually, so take a deep sleep state. It's difficult to occur when under stress, because sleep becomes badly. If you lie awake at midnight, so the process of dream formation would be disturbed.
Bleeding gums
Various studies indicate that stress increases the risk of periodontal disease (tooth and mouth) on someone. Increased stress hormone cortisol when the immune system weakens, making it easier to bacterial infection in the gums.
Acne everywhere
Dermatology professors from Wake Forest University, Gil Yosipovitch, MD revealed that stress increases the risk of inflammation, including in the face. To prevent the appearance of acne, apply moisturizers and lotions that contain salicylic acid during stress.
Want to eat sweet things
If a woman becomes like eating chocolate when will menstruate, this is not caused by the hormone progesterone. Research at the University of Pennsylvania to prove, as though women continue to experience menopausal symptoms. The study reveals, the real cause of want to eat sweet things are stressful.
Itchy skin
A Japanese study revealed, people suffering from pruritis (skin disease characterized by chronic itching) two times tebih susceptible to stress. But the study also reveals the opposite, that stress itself can also activate a number of nerve fibers that trigger the sensation of itch.
Allergies worse than normal
According to a study at Ohio State University in 2008, the mind restless and can aggravate the condition in people with allergies. Stress hormones are believed to trigger the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE), a protein in blood that cause allergic reactions.
Sudden abdominal pain

Body Fat and Disease Risk
If your body weight goes up, not just body fat increases, but also the risk of various diseases. That's because the conditions that can make a person old quickly, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and pain, closely related to the presence of excess fat.
In determining the normal weight, you can use body mass index (BMI), which divides weight by height squared. Value exceeding 25 is considered overweight (overweight) and obese if the value exceeds 30. In addition to calculating BMI, you can also measure the fatness of the abdominal circumference. For women, the maximum is 80 cm and 90 cm for men.
In addition to making the body so it is not agile, piles of fat in the body will invite the arrival of the disease. Similar to other body parts, fat tissue also requires oxygen and nutrients from the blood. With the increased need for oxygen and nutrients, then the amount of blood flow throughout the body would have to increase as well. Thus, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.
Excess fat is also associated with increased LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol and triglycerides. Over time, these blood fat changes had a role in the formation of fatty deposits (plaques) in arteries. This condition is called atherosclerosis which can make your risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.
Diabetes type 2 is also closely linked to being overweight. Excess fat will directly influence the body's ability to balance blood sugar.
In addition to cardiovascular disease, according to Dr. John Tjandrawinata, SpGK from Boromeus Hospital, Bandung, there are several types of cancer associated with being overweight. "In women, such as breast cancer and uterine cancer. While in obese men, a greater risk of pancreatic cancer and biliary stones," he said.
What should be known is weight loss no matter how small would be useful. If you are obese, then lower the weight as much as 10 percent of it will give a positive effect on health.
