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.

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.
