Here are some unique ways that are effective in overcoming various health problems, quoted from MensHealth, Sunday (11/07/2010).

Blow the didgeridoo to overcome Sleep Apnea
His name may be less familiar, because of this wind instrument derived from the Australian outback. However, traditional musical instruments Aboriginal heritage is actually often used in ethnic music and jazz compositions.

Benefits of the didgeridoo to overcome respiratory problems while sleeping (sleep apnea) proved in a study in the British Medical Journal. In 25 patients with sleep apnea are observed, the course blowing the didgeridoo during four months may reduce the frequency of daytime sleepiness in up to 3.5 times.

According to researchers, blew the didgeridoo makes the mouth and throat muscles stronger so decrease tendency to cover the airway. If the airway has been relieved, sleep more soundly tonight and not sleepy during the day.

Listen to music to cope with back pain
A study at the Cleveland Clinic revealed, regularly listening to music one hour / day for a week can reduce pain in the lower back (lumbar area) as much as 20 percent. Besides making muscles more relaxed, music allegedly played a role in releasing the stress hormone cortisol.

According to these studies, the effect would be more optimal if the music you listen to is your music. Any kind of music that is chosen will give the same effect, better than anyone else kind of song choices on the radio.

Fresh cherries to increase muscle strength and fitness
If you want to increase the strength to lift weights, try to consume fresh cherry. Research at the University of Vermont revealed, two big glasses of cherry juice a day can increase muscle strength as much as 18 percent and accelerate the recovery of sore muscles to about one day only.

Content that makes cherry is none other so potent antiinflammatory and antioxidant. According to researchers, these contents will prevent molecular damage during muscle contraction in full force.

Botox injections to relieve symptoms of prostate cancer
Not just for the face, Botox can also be injected was below the belt. For patients with prostate cancer, it can relieve up to symptoms such as frequent urination and pain accompanied by up to 30 percent.

According to research published in the British Journal of Urology International, botox injections in young men is more effective than the drugs and the risk-free as well surgery erectile dysfunction. In addition, the effect will last longer, so in a year only takes one time injection by an experienced physician.

Exchanging SMS for stop smoking
Attempts to quit smoking is easier if done in groups. In addition to regular meetings, members of the group can also provide motivation to each other via SMS.

Blue lights to overcome bad breath
Wavelength of light emitted by a particular color turned out to have implications for health. When researchers tried to put the saliva samples under multiple lights with different colors, it turns out there are at least the number of bacteria in the saliva which was illuminated in blue lights.

Until now there was not a blue medical lighting products specifically intended to overcome bad breath. But research published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology uses the same type of blue lights with lights that used in the trap mosquitoes or insects, so that the lights like that in the sink when brushing my teeth seem to be a good idea.

1. Meditate at least 10 minutes per day. Begin the habit of slowing the mind, impulsive urge, and enjoy your presence. This is similar to the mental aerobics exercises. You train your mind to stay away from distractions around and watched his breath, and listen to your mind is full of peace.

2. Make the connection between emotions and eating. Prepare a small journal whose contents notes about what things that trigger you to overeat. This way, you will be better able to notice what and how your habits concerning food. As you already know these things for anything that would trigger your desire to overeat, then you will be able to neutralize this impulsive desire better.

3. Reduce distractions. Watching television, struggling with the computer, read, or drive while eating will divert your attention from food. Thus, the brain is difficult to receive a signal that the stomach is already feeling full. Indeed, in a fast-paced life of today, a little hard to not do two activities at the same time. However, Pamela suggested that we begin to learn and realize that this kind of lifestyle can be bad for our bodies and can increase body weight.

4. Distinguish between hunger because they have to eat to survive and excessive appetite. Actual hunger is a biological necessity of survival for life. However, there is also a sense of appetite that comes from the desire to taste the food or as a fugitive. When both can work in harmony, you’re lucky. For example, when you wake up feeling good and hungry because the last food you are eating into the stomach the night before at 8 o’clock, when she woke up that morning, you get to taste the foods that are healthy and nutritious. You really feel hungry (the sign, your belly ring) and you know what I want to eat (eg, oatmeal with banana slices). When your appetite began to wander alone is when you start to pile up extra calories.

5. Before you feed something into your mouth, you focus on the abdomen. Realize what you think that’s true, you feel hungry because the stomach is empty. We started to bribe, pay attention to what is perceived by your stomach as she began filling with food.

6. Try to act like people of Okinawa who always say “Hara Hachi bu” or mumble “I will only eat up to 80 percent full”. When you have doubts, chew your food slowly and eat from two-thirds of the contents of your plate. Make sure you do not fill your plate with the mounting portion. Controlling portion sizes can help you reduce your calorie intake.

7. Enjoy every bite. Take time to be more alert to the sensation of smell, taste, texture, and visual presentation of food presented in front of you.

8. Chewing and paused. When you bite of food, gigitlah slowly and give pause before the next bite of food pieces. We stopped it, enjoy your food and notice the sensation in the stomach.

Nine. Practice in a challenging situation. Quite amazing how a person, place, and other things we eat can affect speed. Conversation at meals, fast music, alcohol, large plate, and eat with friends at a restaurant can affect the speed at which we eat. Beware’ll like these challenges and proactively prepare to neutralize challenges to eat faster by increasing awareness and self keawasan.

10. Watch your weight. Try to do the tricks for a month earlier. If you do it correctly, then you will see that the weight you lose several pounds in a month.

It is said that the minerals, which also added to processed meats, cakes, and breads, can make the skin and muscles dry out, and can damage the heart and kidneys. The study, published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal (FASEB), this indicates that the balance of phosphorus affects the aging process.

Previously, researchers have examined the effects of high phosphate content in the three groups of rats. Groups who consume foods with high phosphate content can live 8-15 weeks. While the group who ate a lower phosphate could reach 20 weeks of age.

“People need a healthy diet, and maintaining the balance of phosphate in their food intake is important for a healthy life and longevity,” said Mohammed Razzaque, from the Department of Medicine, Infection and Immunity, Harvard School of Medicine. Therefore, avoid poison phosphate to enjoy a healthy life, he said.

According to Dr. Samuel Oetoro, MS, SpGK, clinical nutrition specialist, because the sport basically requires energy, so food is needed that contains carbohydrates. “But carbohydrates are not the simplex, which is absorbed rapidly and falling rapidly. Choose complex carbohydrates,” said a doctor who practiced medicine in this Semanggi Specialist Clinic.

Besides rice, other examples of complex carbohydrates are potatoes (eaten with skin), and corn. The principle of balanced nutrition should still be applied, with the added protein (10-20 percent), fat (20-25 percent), as well as vitamins and minerals (can be obtained from vegetables and fruits).

When you choose a heavy foods such as rice, do not eat too much. Because if the digestive tract is too heavy or interrupted, we could stomach pain, nausea and even vomiting. Foods like this should also be consumed two hours before starting exercise. For a light snack such as a stack of bread wheat or baked potato, can be consumed one hour before exercise.

Types of snacks like energy bars can also be a choice, but you need to consider the composition of nutrients. Do not choose a high fat content, because fat difficult to digest. Carbohydrate absorption process became less effective.

On the sidelines of sports, you will feel thirsty. You need to drink more water. But water alone is not enough, because when you exercise your body out of electrolytes and minerals, so that should be satisfied again.

“Drink the juice that is not too cold and not too sweet. What is needed is just the juice, so do not be mixed with water, and do not take the fiber,” suggests Samuel.

After the exercise, energy needs to be restored with the correct nutrition to maintain muscle tissue, muscles prepare for your next exercise, helps reduce muscle pain, and prevent injuries. But do not immediately come to the house to eat plain, although you feel hungry.

Because the source of glucose during exercise we drop, we need to replace it with a sweet drink. One hour after exercise, drinking juice with a combination of three fruits, like oranges, watermelons, and melons. After that you can eat chicken porridge, for example, which is easily digested.

Sports drinks can also be an alternative, yet-another-note the composition of nutrients. Choose beverages containing carbohydrates, electrolytes, sodium, potassium, and chlorine. In contrast, type of energy drinks should not be an option because it was added to the stimulant of caffeine and taurine.

Two hours after practice, you can just eat more severe. The principle is returned to the food with balanced nutrition.

If you’re just doing weight training or endurance training, muscle tissue damage should be restored by eating protein. But, still be careful not to be excessive. The food generally contains a natural protein, so you do not need to overdo the protein or a protein bar high protein.

Tamara Lior, dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic Florida, claimed to have asked a patient to check the condition of his lungs after seeing the blue color in the nails of his hands. And indeed, the patient was having problems with the lungs. Blue hue on the nail that indicates lack of oxygen.

White lines on the nails indicate horizontal owner’s lack of protein in the blood. While horizontal striped color changes can mengeindikasikan arsenic poisoning, malaria, the effects of chemotherapy, or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Start the day with exercise. Denseness of activity during the day and various other activities in the afternoons often makes you forget about fitness. Because of that, it’s good to do in the morning.

To remind you, try to put the bag and your workout clothes on the bed. That way, you will immediately remember seeing him in the morning.

Eat regularly. Avoid eating is not the right choice to lose weight. Let yourself starving will make you eat an excess when the next meal. This will only lead to weight gain. Because of that, try to create and follow a regular eating schedule.

Find a suitable diet. Dietary patterns that help your friends lose weight does not necessarily suit you. The key is to recognize yourself. Do not give up if one failed diet.

The amount of water required

Every day you lose water during breathing, the sweat, urine and feces. To ensure that the body function properly, you need to replace fluids lost by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.

Here are some approaches you can use to determine your water needs:

Replacement approach. Adults spend an average of 1.5 urine liters (6.3 cups) a day. In addition, you lose almost a liter of fluid a day through breathing, sweat and defecation (feces). Food usually accounts for roughly 20 percent of fluid intake. So, if you consume two liters of water from beverages (about 8 cups less) along with your normal diet, is usually sufficient to replace lost fluids.

Eight glasses of water (glass containing 8 ounces) a day. This is another approach in meeting the water intake. Drink eight glasses of water (equivalent to 1.9 liters). Although this approach is not supported by scientific evidence, many people use it as a basic guide to determine the amount of water intake.

Recommendations diet (dietary recommendations). The Institute of Medicine recommends men eat about three liters of water (equivalent to 13 cups) per day and women drink 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) drinks a day.

Apart from the above approach you can examine the adequacy of water by drinking enough water (so you rarely thirsty) and produce 1.5 liters (6.3 cups) or more colored urine clear or slightly yellowish.

Determinants

You can modify total fluid intake by looking at the activity level, climate residence, as well as your health condition.

Sports. You need to increase the intake of water when doing activities that make you sweat. For a short exercise, you need to add around 400-600 (about 1.5-2.5 cups) water. But to exercise harder, you need to reproduce the extra water intake.

Environment. Hot and humid weather makes you sweat and requires additional water.

Disease or health condition. Symptoms of the disease, such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea will make the body lose more fluids. Therefore, you need to increase fluid intake. On the other hand, some conditions such as heart failure and some types of kidney and liver disorders can disrupt discharge system so you just have to restrict fluid intake.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Women who breastfeed need extra fluids. The Institute of Medicine recommends that pregnant women drink 2.3 liters (about 10 cups) of fluid a day and breastfeeding women about 3.1 liters (13 cups) of fluid a day.

The explanation is simple. The high intake of sugar causes blood sugar levels soaring. Yet the risk of excess calories. A glass of sweet tea contains approximately 250-300 calories (depending on concentration). Caloric needs of adult women the average is 1900 calories per day (depending on activity). Of course our sweet tea was able to 1000-1200 calories. Currently plus 3 meals of rice and side dishes. Reasonably suspected that the excess of our daily calories. End: obesity and diabetes.

Avoid the risk of the above by replacing drinking sweet tea with water that zero calories. Or, enjoy tea without sugar, or limit the amount of sugar consumption is not more than 2 teaspoons a day.

What is the process? This is caused by a natural process known as glycation. In this process, sugar in the bloodstream attached to proteins to form harmful new molecules. This new product known as advanced glycation end products (AGES). The more sugar you consume, the more AGES are formed.

“Once AGES buried, they will damage adjacent proteins, such as the domino effect,” explains Fredric Brandt, MD, a dermatologist in Miami and New York City and author of 10 Minutes 10 Years.

According to Brandt, the most vulnerable components are damaged collagen and elastin, protein fibers that keep skin tight and elastic. In fact, collagen is the most widely proteins in the body.

Once damaged, collagen and elastin are flexible and strong before will become dry and brittle, leading to wrinkles and skin loosening. According to a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology, this aging effect will begin at age 35 and increase rapidly thereafter.

Besides damaging collagen, high-sugar diet also affects the type of collagen you have. Most collagen in the skin, light Brandt, is a type I, II, and III, with type III is typical of the most stable and durable. Glycation process will change the type III collagen into type I, type the most vulnerable.

“As happens, the skin will look and feels less supple,” Brandt said, as quoted prevention site. What’s worse, AGES will disable the body’s natural antioxidant enzymes, making the skin more prone to sun damage.

Diabetics

Diabetics, who often have high blood sugar levels are not detected for years, most feel the negative effects of sugar. They often show symptoms of premature skin aging.

“Depending on the level of good in controlling the disease, diabetics often have levels AGES 50 times more than those who do not suffer from diabetes,” explains Karyn Grossman, MD, a dermatologist in New York City and Santa Monica, as well as chairman of dermatology at St. division. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica.

The good news, you still can improve sugar-damaged skin. One way is to build new collagen with products that contain retinoids. To keep this new collagen remain flexible, you can prevent the formation of AGES by minimizing sugar intake. Make sure your sugar intake no more than 10 percent of total calorie intake.

People who are overweight or obese tend to have high cholesterol levels because of insulin resistance causes fat metabolism changed. But that does not mean that thin people may not have high cholesterol.

What symptoms of high cholesterol?

High cholesterol in the body did not show any symptoms or complaints in person. Usually people have realized the high complications such as heart disease and stroke if the blood vessels and interfere with hypertension. If someone has hypertension, so that high cholesterol will cause pain in the back of the head neck.

Clinically there are several things that can be used as initial guidelines one having high cholesterol, namely the existence of fat deposits on the eyelids. These deposits usually contain levels of triglycerides (fatty acid molecules) high. But this happens only a small part of it.

Better for who was aged over 40 years to do cholesterol tests every year. But for those who already have disorders such as high blood cholesterol, there’s no harm to do a cholesterol since the age of 25 years.

Someone said to have high cholesterol levels if the value of total cholesterol of more than 240 mg / dl blood. If someone can detect high cholesterol before complications occur, it is expected that these complications do not occur.

To reduce high cholesterol levels of patients are required to make low-fat diet, exercise diligently, for those who try to quit smoking and if necessary the patient should be taking drugs.

High cholesterol do not cause any symptoms until the occurrence of complications, for it does not hurt to apply healthy living with proper diet and exercise diligent.
