Admin November 08, 2017 Wow

Are you among those who avoid dinner, especially when you're on a diet? Upon seven o'clock, you've locked your mouth tight, you do not want to eat and even snack. Actually dinner is okay, but the most important is to pay attention to the portion and type of food consumed. If you eat a diet that is all-fat and sugary at night, certainly can increase the scales!

This milk contains the nutritional needs of the body, such as protein, fiber, and calcium and other mineral vitamins. Choose milk that is also low in fat and contains controlled calories of 200 calories per serving.

Salad

The vegetables found in salads are high in fiber and keep you full longer. However, avoid adding high-calorie salad dressing like mayonnaise. Alternatively, choose a more healthy and low-calorie salad dressing like olive oil.

Protein

Protein will keep you full longer when compared to foods high in carbohydrates and fats. Some of the proteins you can consume are fish, chicken, meat, tofu, and nuts. Note also the way of processing; better to eat baked goods than fried.

Tips

Try to eat a maximum of 3 hours before bedtime.
Avoid fast food, ice cream, dairy products.
Avoid foods high in carbohydrates and high in sugar. So also with food that is too spicy and spicy.
Limit salt intake or high-salt foods (such as in canned foods or frozen processed foods), because it can make stomachs bloated and bloated.

What are the Benefits of Fasting for Health?

Admin November 08, 2017 Wow

The month of Ramadan has arrived. All Muslims in the world are required to fast for a whole month. Fasting is not just to purify the mind, but it also has health benefits!

What happens inside the body when fasting?

When fasting, the body does not get food and drink intake from dawn to sunset. Under normal conditions, the body absorbs nutrients from food and is converted into glucose, which is then stored in the liver and muscles as a source of energy.

During fasting, these first glucose reserves are used for energy sources. Once the glucose reserves run out, the fat will be the next source of energy. If fasting continues for days to weeks, then the protein in the muscle to be used as a source of energy.

Can fasting detoxify toxins from the body?

This is often the pros and cons, because fasting is considered to remove toxins from the body. Basically, the body has its own way and system to remove substances that are not needed by the body. In this case, the liver becomes a detox center and works with the lungs, intestines, kidneys, lymph glands and skin to remove toxins.

However, other opinions say that everyday we eat lots of processed foods or unhealthy fast food. By fasting (and managing a healthy diet of course), the body is given "the opportunity" to remove harmful waste substances and does not need the body. Basically our body is "designed" fast. Like when we sleep at night, the body is not given food and drink intake for hours on end.

What are the benefits of fasting for health?

Fasting has long been applied in the medical world. For example, when you will undergo surgery, you will be asked to fast so as not to interfere with the smooth operation and anesthetic drugs. In addition, when you want to do blood tests such as cholesterol or blood sugar, you will also be asked to fast so that the results are more accurate.

Not only that, fasting is also considered to reduce the severity of certain diseases such as arthritis, depression to control blood sugar levels in diabetics. A study published in The Journal of Nutrition mentions that intermittent fasted mice have more controlled levels of insulin than mice on low-calorie diets.

In people with depression or stress, fasting also provides psychological benefits, because when fasting patients will learn to say 'no' to food. This is the first step to take full control of his life.

Seven Adverse Effects of Excessive Sports

Admin November 08, 2017 Wow

Currently, exercising is becoming a trend among urban people. Exercise is good for your health. However, if you exercise more than 5 hours / week, you run the risk of overtraining. What are the symptoms?

Excessive thirst

Have you ever felt thirsty despite drinking enough? If so, you may be overtraining. Overtraining can cause your body to be in a catabolic phase, which then makes you dehydrated. The key to overcoming it is to make sure you drink enough during exercise and when resting.

Muscle ache

It is normal to experience muscle pain 1-2 days after exercise. However, if you still experience muscle aches 3 days after exercise, try to take a break from sports activities. Muscle pain can be a sign your muscles have not fully recovered, and if the muscles are still forced to work instead it will interfere with the formation of your muscles.

Insomnia

Excessive exercise can make you have trouble sleeping. Although it is true if exercising can be one solution for those who have trouble sleeping. However, our body needs time to regenerate cells while resting. Therefore, try to always sleep and do not do any activity from 22.00-02.00.

Depression

When exercising the body will release the hormone endorphins that can make us feel good. Conversely, if we exercise excessively or overtraining, you will be more at risk of getting depressed.

Easily hurt

Exercise is one way that we can do to avoid the disease. But if we exercise excessively, the body will experience a catabolic phase that can lower the immune system and make you more susceptible to illness.

Easy injury

Do you often get injured even though you have warmed up enough and stretched the muscles? If so, you may be overtraining. If you exercise excessively, your body has no time and opportunity to rest. As a result when you start exercising again, you become more vulnerable to injury.

Decreased self-esteem

When you exercise excessively, you tend to become "obsessed" to constantly exercise. This way of thinking will make you become obsessed and continue to feel less. This feeling will then make you become unconfident, irritable, and depressed.

In other words, there is no significant weight loss. Even some people who follow the research, stop using it before the research is done because they feel uncomfortable.

What are the dangers of using a corset?

As a result, the person will be more vulnerable to bulimia as well. Your weight can indeed go down but in an unhealthy way.

Why Warming Up Before Sports Is Important?

Admin November 08, 2017 Wow

Someone often skips warm-up session before the sport. Probably not knowing that warming is very useful, or even assuming it does not feel the need to warm up. In fact, warm-up sessions are an important stage in exercise, so that the heart, lungs, muscles, joints and brain are ready for real physical activity.

Heating sessions are generally a combination of light cardio exercises, stretching, and strength training. Cardio exercise aims to improve blood flow, body temperature, and heart rate. While stretching will prepare the muscles of the body to perform movements during real physical activity.

When the muscles begin to relax and warm after doing both exercises, then it can be exercises muscle strengthening. Exercise can be either jumping or sprinting, which aims to increase the intensity of activity slowly and prevent injury.

Why is warming important?

Properly structured heating improves blood flow, muscle temperature, and body temperature and core, resulting in faster muscle contraction and muscle relaxation. Not only that, the oxygen flow becomes better, the result of metabolic rate and body calorie burning increases. All of these processes have a positive effect on a person's performance in exercising.

In addition, the chance of injury due to exercise can also be reduced, because heating makes the muscles and joints become more flexible. The heating will relax the bonds of connective tissue on the muscles and joints, so that it is better prepared for sudden movements and able to 'survive' in the exercise with heavy intensity.

The right heating lock

Each warm-up session lasts 10-30 minutes, and should accommodate all three types of exercises: cardio, stretching and muscle strengthening.

Start warming up slowly, with light movements such as walking, jogging or cycling. This exercise will increase the temperature of the muscles and core of the body so you sweat. The muscles become more elastic and ready to stretch.

After 5-10 minutes, stretch the muscles. Focus the movement on the muscles that are widely used for real sports. Then, increase the intensity gradually.

You can choose to perform static stretching, ie by maintaining a certain position for 10-30 seconds. Or, you can also do dynamic stretching, by moving the muscles and body joints according to the range of motion (range of motion) optimal.

Keep in mind that to prevent injury, it takes a smooth shift from the movements during heating to the specific movement of the sport to be performed. For example, a basketball player may warm up in the form of passing or firing the ball into the net, or, an athlete weightlifter can lift a light load first, before lifting a heavier load.

From now on, never miss a warm-up session before exercising. This stage is very important so that you do not experience sore or excessive pain, to injury to muscles and joints due to exercise without heating.

Long-term complications of diabetes

For people with diabetes, consumption of foods rich in fiber content not only able to control blood sugar levels, but also can prevent diabetes complications in the long term. In someone who does not have diabetes, eating foods high in fiber can prevent this disease.

Levels of Fiber Needed Every Day

There is a difference in fiber requirement between women and men. In men, at least the fiber needs to be met ranged from 30-38 grams a day. While women whose age ranges between 18 - 50 years, the need for fiber per day is about 25 grams. Unfortunately, these fiber needs are often not met well. The average fiber consumption is only about 15 grams of fiber per day.

Well, for fiber needs can be met, you are advised to eat foods high in fiber. Like various types of nuts, peas, whole wheat flour, green leafy vegetables, carrots, pumpkin, potatoes, corn, and long beans.

Plaque can cause oral health disorders, also make smiles and less than maximum appearance. In addition to brushing your teeth, using mouthwash can help reduce the appearance of plaque.

Plaque or tartar is a layer of bacterial deposits that solidify and stick to the teeth. Plaque plays a major role in tooth decay.

Why Can Plaque Emerge?

Plaque appears and develops because there are food debris. Cakes, bread, milk, sweets, and other foods containing sugar and starch remaining on the teeth, will invite bacteria.

The bacteria will produce acids that will destroy the enamel or the outermost layer of the tooth. Furthermore, plaque can damage tooth roots and tooth support bones. So do not consider plaque as trivial, because it can cause decreased overall health of the oral cavity.

Create a circular motion when brushing your teeth to remove the plaque layer attached. No need to rush to get the most out of it. What you need to know, do not brush your teeth properly just the way you never brushed your teeth.

Use products containing fluoride

Fluoride plays a role in the fight against germs that have the potential to make teeth become rotten. It also protects the teeth from the threat of damage. Choose toothpaste containing fluoride to keep your teeth healthy. Consuming bottled water containing fluoride content can also help reduce the risk of plaque buildup.

Take advantage of the mouthwash

Mouthwash will clean out the hard-to-reach mouth area when brushing teeth, like gums and between teeth as toothbrushes clean only 25% of your mouth. In addition, mouthwash also reduces the acidity and the amount of germs in the oral cavity, even helping to remineralize the teeth. However, mouthwash should not be used by children under the age of six. Although for children over the age, mouthwash can help clean teeth optimally.

Check your teeth regularly

Regularly checking the dentist's teeth every 6 months can help prevent tooth decay. If it turns out that began to occur tooth decay, you will get treatment earlier, so the teeth problems are not to severe.

Above the age of 6 years, children may already learn how to rinse mouthwash adapted to the advice of the dentist. While still being watched and ensured not to be swallowed.

Mouthwash containing fluoride

A fluoride-containing mouthwash has two advantages. First, the nature of mouthwash that can reach the entire oral cavity following between the teeth and gums. Second, fluoride-containing mouthwashes strengthen enamel, the leading layer of the tooth, thus helping to prevent problems that can damage teeth.

Prevent Less Blood with Peach Fruit

Admin November 07, 2017 Wow

Are you a fan of candied fruit? Of course you are familiar with peaches. Yes, this one fruit is often processed into sweets. Apparently, peaches are not only delicious as sweets that seduce the tongue only. But this one fruit can also help prevent less blood. Shocking, is not it?

Keep in mind, lack of blood is a condition caused by decreased amount of red blood cell production in the body. Symptoms can be:

Lethargic or weak
Easily tired
Heart pounding for no apparent reason
Difficult to concentrate
Pale face
Dizzy
Headache

One of the most frequent conditions causing less blood is the lack of iron intake. Iron is an important component in the production of red blood cells in the body.

Well, one of the reasons why peaches can help prevent less blood is because the fruit is high in iron content. But before taking them, peaches should be dried first.

The reason, one fresh peach contains only less than 1 mg of iron. Meanwhile, ten dried peaches that have been split in two iron substances to about 5.3 mg.

Not only iron, peaches also have a high vitamin C content. As is known, vitamin C is a substance that is needed by the body to absorb iron optimally.

To be more effective in preventing less blood, peaches should be consumed along with red meat, chicken livers, and green vegetables. Do not forget also to apply a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly and regularly, and adequate rest

SPF Higher Sunscreen More Optimal Protects Skin?

Admin November 06, 2017 Wow

The scorching sun is getting stinging. No wonder, more and more are beginning to use cream with high SPF as a solution. However, is it true that high SPF creams are able to protect the skin more optimally?

SPF or Sun Protection Factor is an indicator of how well sunscreen can reflect ultraviolet light. That is, SPF is not a composition, but an indicator.

There are two types of ultraviolet rays that can harm the skin, namely ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). UVA rays can accelerate the signs of aging on the skin, such as wrinkles and black spots.

While UVB rays can make your skin burn. But overall, the high exposure of the skin to these two rays could potentially cause skin cancer.

SPF Skin Protector

Based on research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Dermatology in 2015, more than 50% of study participants have the wrong perception of sunscreen. They thought that SPF 30 sunscreen had twice the protection function compared to SPF 15 sunscreen.

In fact, the protection between SPF 30 and 15 does not vary much. This is because the SPF 15 sunscreen can withstand UVB rays as much as 94%, SPF 30 by 97%, and SPF 45 by 98%.

When using sunscreen, you also need to reapply every 2 hours, after sweating, exposure to water or swimming.

In other words, it's useless to use an SPF 50 sunscreen at a high price if you do not reapply after some time.

Actually, using SPF 15 sunscreen alone is enough. However, if you tend to move outdoors, do not hesitate to use sunscreen with SPF 30.

Thus, the high SPF level is not a complete skin protection guarantee. The most important thing is how to use, as well as the activities you do.

6 Benefits of Sleep Not Wearing Underwear For Health

Admin November 02, 2017 Wow

Before going to sleep, each person must have different habits in order to get quality sleep, such as washing your face, toothbrush, or change clothes with pajamas. But, do you have a habit of sleeping not wearing underwear?

For some people, sleeping not wearing underwear or even sleeping naked is still considered taboo. But it turns out there are many benefits of sleep not wearing underwear for health. Consider the following benefits

1. Make the vagina breathing

Dr. Alyssa Dweck, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Mount Kisxo, New York, said that in general the genital area should not always be closed while sleeping. However, there are still many people choose to sleep using underwear because they are reluctant to take risks.

The reason Dweck suggests to sleep is not wearing underwear at night because the bacteria and fungi love to breed in the dark, damp, and warm. Most of the day the genital area is covered with clothing and underwear - especially if the clothing worn does not absorb sweat. This allows vaginal irritation and makes the vagina moist.

Therefore, removing the underwear when sleeping can be one way of making the vagina breathing. In addition as well as an effort to maintain genital hygiene.

2. Maintain sperm quality

Likewise with women, some researchers say if using tight panties makes the testis not free to breathe, consequently can increase the temperature on the testes. Especially when you sleep with a pair of pants that cause inhibition of blood flow to the testes. In the end, this can decrease the amount of sperm produced. This indirectly leads to poor sperm quality.

3. Smooth blood circulation

When you decide to sleep without your underwear, you've reduced the risk of distress, rubbing, even the tights of a tight pants - especially in the crotch. This certainly affects the blood circulation, making the blood circulation becomes more smoothly.

4. Reduce the risk of infection

Maybe you think when deciding not to wear underwear while sleeping, will eventually create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. But the idea has long been ignored.

Dr Gillian Dean, New York City's Planned Parenthood medical director, said there was no scientific research showing a direct link between nudity and contracting infections such as vaginosis or vaginal yeast infections. Sleeping not wearing pants will actually reduce the risk of infection in the genital area because the vagina or genitals are not moist.

Do not forget, you must ensure the cleanliness of the mattress and bed first before deciding not to wear underwear while sleeping.

5. Sleep more soundly

Sleeping not wearing panties or even naked can also be one therapy to cope with stress. The reason, with your naked sleep so much more freely in the move without having to feel hot, crowded because of clothes, or anything else. This is what makes sleep more relaxed and sound.

6. Make the relationship more harmonious

For you and a married couple, sleeping not wearing panties or naked even if it will make life more harmonious household. The reason, you and your partner will feel more intimate by making skin contact. This will also stimulate the production of hormones oxytocin in the body that affect the mood that makes you and your partner more relaxed in sexual intercourse.
