High Tech Tool Called Plasma Brush

Labels: ,


More recently, scientists from the University of Missouri, United States, creating tartar cleaning tools without pain. High-tech tool called "Plasma Brush" it will be marketed next two years.

Plasma Brush can clean teeth that decay within 30 seconds. Even the patient will feel a slight sensation of cold. With that tool, cleaning cavities can be done to the fullest. So the fillings in your teeth will last longer, because when patch
done with the maximum.

Professor Hao Li representing the scientists along with medical technology companies Nanova confident that the new device is a major breakthrough in the practice of dentistry. "Our study shows that the patches are able to hold 60 percent more powerful with the plasma brush," he said.

The absence of evidence of adverse effects from use of these tools. But scientists are conducting further research on the matter. Overview of the pain of cleaning teeth tartar or patching will end with the help of Plasma Brush.

Mixed Omega-3

Labels: , ,

Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.

Freedom from pain and inflammation. The National Institute of Health’s website, Medline Plus says, “Omega-3 fatty acids reduce pain and swelling.” How? Omega 3 fish oil fatty acids, particularly EPA, are involved in your body’s inflammatory response and inflammation cycle. Relieving the inflammation
(swelling) will help reduce the pain. Nutritionally important n−3 fatty acids include α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), all of which are polyunsaturated. Common sources of n–3 fatty acids include fish oils and plant oils such as flaxseed oil, algal oil and hemp seed oil. Mammalian brains, a delicacy in some parts of the world, are also a rich source of n-3 fatty acids, and DHA in particular.

Just how do omega-3s perform so many health "miracles" in people? One way, experts say, is by encouraging the production of body chemicals that help control inflammation -- in the joints, the bloodstream, and the tissues. Evidence is showing that more Omega3 in the diet can help reduce high triglycerides which are also a risk factor for heart disease and death. But it doesn’t just stop with heart health.

With the increasing popularity of vegetarian diets and mounting fears about mercury and PCBs in seafood, people often ask about using flax oil (which contains alpha-linolenic acids - or ALA) instead of fish oil. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMM), omega-3’s may also Improve artery health by helping to reduce plaque buildup and blood clots in arteries that lead to the brain.

Benefits of Omega 3 in Children: Increasing the intake of Omega 3 can benefit those with dyslexia, ADHD and dyspraxia, Omega 3 is also thought to have a significant effect on reading skills too. "Patients with high triglyceride levels can benefit from treatment with 3 to 4 grams daily of DHA and EPA," says Dr. O'Keefe. "Research shows that this dosage lowers triglyceride levels by 20 to 50 percent."

Listen to Washing Hand Learned

Labels: ,

First of all, you have to choose the proper temperature of water. And to do that, the water should be warm but not hot and not cold. Second of all, you should be washing your hands for only about ten or fifteen seconds, not for a minute, not for five minutes. Then after 20 seconds, its more than enough to do it. Also, choose a soap thats not so costly.
Scrub vigorously with water and soap until lather appears, making sure to get between your fingers and fingernails. Use a nail brush if you have one. Briskly dry with a towel.
The use of a fingernail brush when hands are washed, which provides over 350 times greater removal of transient microorganisms from the hands than hand washing without a brush.
Some studies show that when children are carefully taught to wash their hands school absenteeism is reduced, perhaps especially when alcohol-based hand rubs are combined with handwashing.

The doctors initially thought that Alisha had appendicitis because the pain in her stomach, later diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome. She also must perform repeated blood tests and scans until doctors finally diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome Alisha.

"We've never heard such strange conditions, and it was increasingly difficult for us when the doctor said to date no cure for it," said Maggie.

Mouthwash against Tartar

Labels: ,

Researchers from the University of California, United States, found that mouthwash is effective against tartar. Wenyuan Shi, who led the research, it developed a mouthwash that kills bacteria that cause cavities.

Scientists are researching, how bacteria interact within their colony, to create a plaque on the teeth. Apparently, the bacteria convert food particles into acids, destroying tooth enamel and cause tooth decay. The accumulation of plaques that form in the long term lead to gum disease, and
even the risk of tooth loss.

To combat these bacteria, the doctor uses an antibacterial ingredient called antimicrobial peptides (Stamps). Materials are successfully influencing the growth of bacteria that cause tooth decay and does not affect other bacteria.

The technology is different from the use of antibiotics, which kill all bacteria indiscriminately. The product was also tested on 12 patients for four consecutive days. The result, they can significantly reduce the development of destructive bacteria that tooth.

Wenyuan Shi himself is allowed to investigate further, to produce it for mouthwash products can be marketed. But experts stressed that if the product enters the market, so the results are more effective, permanent tooth brushing should not be abandoned. It had to be done before using mouthwash.

Slow And Easy Avoid Diabetes

Labels: ,

Research has shown, one of the best ways to avoid the risk of getting diabetes is to always control your weight. This can be achieved by engaging in regular physical activity and undergo a healthy diet focused on fruits and vegetables.

Many people are lazy to exercise by reason of the rush and there was no time to spare. In fact, physical activity is very important to prevent many serious diseases and disorders of
health conditions.

Several studies have proven the importance of exercising regularly, even though experts are still debating how long it an ideal exercise to prevent disease. As a result, recommendations were varied, ranging from 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 15 minutes.

Even a recent study claims, engaging in physical activity for 1 minute each day (eg jogging) can substantially reduce the risk of someone suffering from serious diseases such as diabetes type 2.

Moreover, researchers argue that doing physical activity with a short span of time can also help, and even help treat diabetes, although further research is needed on this.

In recent research, for example, experts from the Department of Health, University of Bath, involving several participants who were asked to do the sprint cycling two times (20 seconds) for three times a week. The experiment lasted for six weeks. After that, the scientists conducted a number of physical measurements and tests. The results showed that an increase in insulin function participants an average of 28 percent.

Researchers said the findings are not the first to demonstrate the positive effects of short-term physical activity on improving insulin function and blood sugar levels. Basically, regular physical exercise with the right amount proved to be the best way to prevent type 2 diabetes and keep blood sugar levels remain low.

However, factors such as lifestyle, bad habits, lack of motivation, and reason is often the bottleneck activity and contributed greatly to the lack of physical activity most of us.

abnormalities of the thyroid

Four months later, John, 20 years, often feel faint. Semantap no first hand, too often shaking his finger. Weight loss also dropped drastically. "And I do not change their diet and exercise as usual," he said. When coma and was hospitalized, doctors diagnosed that John had abnormalities of the thyroid gland.
house by the lake 2017 review 
According to endocrinologist, thyroid gland disorders occur because the thyroid hormone that consists of hormones T4 (thyroxine) and T3 produced by these glands can not work together with thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), produced by the gland of the brain. "Diseases that arise can vary, can hyperthyroidism or excess thyroid hormone, thyroid hormone deficiency atawa hypothyroidism, goiter, and impaired bone growth, until the tumor or cancer of the thyroid gland," he said.


One example of a disease that most often arises from disorders of this gland is mumps. According to doctors, many people the wrong perception, goiter due to iodine deficiency. Though mumps is also induced by the thyroid gland is disturbed, "Therefore, the performance of this gland is totally dependent on the reaction of the body when performing thyroid hormone secretion or disposal," he said.

Body of a person who has certain disorders of the thyroid gland can not be detected by outward symptoms. "There should be a test lab, and then consulted specifically to an endocrinologist or a specialist glands in order to get the right treatment," said the doctor.

During these actions most often performed to treat diseases arising from abnormalities of the thyroid gland is the surgery, administration of radioactive rays on the thyroid gland, and hormone replacement therapy. But all medical action can not be completed immediately. One time the disease could arise again, so treatment should be done regularly. Sometimes people who have gone many wondering why sent back to the doctor? "Because, this is a disease caused by abnormalities in the body," said another specialist in internal medicine.

Symptoms of thyroid gland disorders must be recognized from the beginning. The doctor pointed out the symptoms of excess thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism), which often affects women. "Excessive Sweating, insomnia, heart beats faster, and frequent bowel movements," he said. "When getting worse, will affect the outer physical, such as the eyes tend to stare, hair loss, skin thin and smooth, and weight loss."

Hyperthyroidism often occurs in new mothers. Again, not a lack of iodine causes, but the body's autoimmune reaction that changes during pregnancy. "During pregnancy, maternal autoimmunity autoimmunity follow his son, although they are different individuals,"

Thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism) had symptoms and physical appearance otherwise. "For example, tiredness, drowsiness, chills, and body weight tended to increase despite a reasonable diet and exercise regularly," said the doctor. If both diseases are allowed to get worse, can cause cancer and tumors of the thyroid gland which leads to death.

According to doctors, not all people who live in areas rich in salt can be freed from this gland disorder. Therefore, this disease is not necessarily due to lack of iodized salt. "The salt is a salt containing iodine through fortification or chemical process to convert salt or pure NaCl to iodine," he said.

doctors cite one case the distribution of the thyroid gland disorders in Japan coast, whose inhabitants actually diligent eating salty foods. "Once again, diseases such as mumps and other diseases due to abnormalities of the gland in some areas was not caused by a shortage of salt. If most eating salt can also be affected by hypertension," he said.

Prevent Aortic Aneurysms

Labels: ,


There is no drug that can prevent aortic aneurysms. Scientists think statin drugs and some antibiotics can slow the growth of small aortic aneurysms. And there is some evidence that the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan (Cozaar) may prevent the aneurysm.

For now the best approach to prevent aortic aneurysms is to keep blood vessels healthy. This means taking the following steps:

• Keep your blood pressure under control.
• Do not smoke.
• Exercise regularly.
• Reduce cholesterol and fat in foods.

It is important to stop using tobacco for smoking or chewing tobacco can increase the chances of the onset of aortic aneurysms.

If you have risk factors for aortic aneurysms, talk to your doctor. If you have a risk, your doctor may recommend additional measures, including drugs to lower blood pressure and relieve pressure on the weakened artery.

Fortune Hunter With Coffee

Some of the types of foods and beverages can be efficacious as dampening the illness. One way is to reduce excess blood sugar levels before eating or drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Of course, for those of you who do not have any problems with the stomach. According to research and research results from Alan L Rubin, MD, assistant clinical professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, author of Diabetes for Dummies.

According to USDA studies and other studies, drinking a cup of coffee before a meal, or when the stomach is empty may be useful to reduce levels of blood sugar dropped to 50%. Savor it could have lasted up to all day. These researchers suspect, coffee-rich phenols and other antioxidants that can increase production of insulin, a hormone that helps the body maintain blood sugar levels.
In addition, the mixture of these nutrients can improve the response of cells to insulin, a hormone that can function at peak efficiency. As a bonus, drink a cup of coffee before your breakfast, this can also help you lose excess weight, a risk factor for diabetes that has been proven to suppress appetite for up to 35%. You could have chosen another strategy, if you are not a fan of coffee or if you have problems with the stomach.

Why We Often Fart?

Labels: ,

Actually, gas is always present in our stomach and intestines, as in the oral cavity we always have our air suction (without us knowing it) routinely as long as we are able to breathe. This part will swallow air when we swallow the saliva that also regularly without us knowing well that we do.



In addition, the stomach will produce gastric acid production when the gas is high, because the food that will be smoothed so that there is no stomach acid will experience an enzymatic reaction that will produce gas.

Another thing that can cause the gas we get is foods we eat such as turnips, cabbage and sweet potatoes.

Last is the process of fermentation that is not going well and it is mainly when eating unfamiliar foods, canned foods such as corned beef or sardens, which will also be produced gas that often smells bad.

If this just happened, it may be related to the food consumed and usually goes away by itself if the type of food we eat is no longer.

But if this continues, although the types of gas-producing foods we subtract, then you should immediately seek medical treatment for the cause.

2. Chewing ice
Many people habitually chew on ice cubes, especially ice remaining after completion of an ice cold beverage. Hard and cold temperatures of ice cubes can actually cause teeth to fracture. It could even be made part of the tooth enamel is damaged. Dentists recommend to let the ice melt in the mouth such as eating candy, rather than destroy it with my teeth instead.

3. Chewing hard objects
Not a few people who have a habit of chewing hard objects such as pencils, nails and other hard objects. The main function should return the teeth to chew food.

4. Sucking on lemons
If done on a continuous basis, the citric acid in lemons can leach important minerals in the tooth and scrape the outer tooth surfaces, thus making the teeth become sensitive to cold foods or beverages. However, this situation does not mean that you should give up on all citrus fruits. You just need to make sure that you do not continue to suck in the mouth for a long time.

The world's worst Sanitation Country

Labels: ,


According to the UN, from 7 billion inhabitants of the world there are still about 2.6 billion people without access to sanitary toilet and sewage facilities. World Health Organization (WHO) ranks the countries with the worst sanitation in the world.

In many cases, people in some countries still defecate in the open or go into the bushes nearby. This practice can be deadly due to the many bacteria from human feces that can be returned to the public again, pollute water supplies and spread disease.


In developing countries, 90 percent of human waste is dumped directly into lakes, rivers and oceans. Even some of the exhaust system already look old so it could be destroyed if hit by heavy rains.

Here are the countries with the worst sanitation problems in the world with the raw number of people who do not have access to good sanitation, as reported by LiveScience:

1. India (818 million)
2. China (607 million)
3. Indonesia (109 million)
4. Nigeria (103 million)
5. Pakistan (98 million)
6. Bangladesh (75 million)
7. Ethiopia (71 million)
8. Congo (50 million)
9. Brazil (39 million)
10. Tanzania (32 million)
11. Sudan (27 million)
12. Kenya (27 million)
13. Philippines (22 million)
14. Vietnam (22 million)
15. Ghana (20 million)
16. Nepal (20 million)

These countries have monitoring of WHO and UNICEF. WHO said that if all this waste is not handled properly, it will increase the public health crisis that is estimated to kill 1.4 million children each year, namely a child every 20 seconds. This amount is greater than the incorporation of cases of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

Currently sanitation still not getting serious attention compared to other health problems. The UN was therefore set a goal to reduce the number of people who do not get basic sanitation.

The biggest benefit of vitamin C

Labels: ,

Vitamin C is one vitamin that is needed by the body and serves to enhance the immune system. When the body needs vitamins and minerals sufficient, then all kinds of diseases can be prevented. Consuming vitamin C which also function as an antioxidant shown to ward off viruses such as influenza virus, so if we just meet this need, then we will more often have flu.

This vitamin is easily soluble in water so that when the vitamin is consumed than is needed, the excess is discarded in the urine. Because it is not stored in the body, vitamin C should be consumed every day. Average dose for adults is needed 60-90 mg / day. But it could be more depending on the condition of the body and endurance of each person is different. Maximum permissible limit for vitamin C is 1000 mg / day.


This vitamin deficiency can cause bleeding gums, canker sores, muscle pain or neurological disorders. Further deficiencies cause anemia, frequent infections and rough skin. While the excess vitamin C can cause diarrhea. When excess vitamin C due to the use of supplements in a long time can cause kidney stones, whereas when excess vitamin C derived from fruits generally do not cause side effects.

Foods that contain vitamin C typically are fruits and vegetables. Fruits that contain vitamin C are not always yellow, for example on a guava fruit with the highest vitamin C content that we consume. In fact, in some fruit, the skin contains vitamin C higher than the fruit. For example in the skin of apples and oranges, although not all of the fruit skin is edible.

To determine the amount of vitamin C in fruit, the following is a table of contents in common fruits we find in 100 grams.

Interview With Robyn Chuter

Labels: ,

Healthy Living will feature medical experts from Australia and a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society: Robyn Chuter who will discuss why we all have to follow a healthy vegan diet.


Since starting the practice of treatment in 1995, Ms. Chuter has helped many people recover from chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and pain to migraines.

He also became an experienced advisor and practitioner of Emotional Freedom Technique therapy (EFT), which is said by Ms. Chuter is a practical and effective way to help clients cope with emotional distress. We begin with Ms. Chuter research on the myth that humans are omnivores.

Mother Chuter: Human beings are usually classified as omnivores, but actually there are interesting differences between us and true omnivores.

So true carnivores and true omnivores produce an enzyme called urikase. And uric acid urikase break. Well uric acid is a byproduct of protein digestion. Humans do not produce urikase, which is why people suffering from gout. Men more susceptible to gout, especially if they eat too much protein and it's just simply because we are not designed to handle a large number of uric acid. We can not mengurainya. He piled up; cause much harm. We should not eat food that is not for us.

HOST: What is the myth of others who wish to be removed by Ms. Chuter?

Chuter's mother: It was shocking! The medical and health professionals continue to deploy the same misconception has long proven true, it is written in the medical and scientific journals, but they still continue to say, "You will lack a protein with a vegan diet" to people.

Plants can make proteins. But animals can not make proteins. Animals must eat plants to get their protein. All plants contain protein. Especially green leafy vegetables that have high protein. Legumes, nuts, seeds, grains, all of these foods contain protein.

However, the interesting thing is that we actually only get 25% of protein needs of our food every day. 75% of our protein needs of other recycling proteins are filled with our own bodies.

How economical what happens inside our bodies! We recycle our digestive juices are high in protein, and we actually recycle the intestinal cells flake off. We describe them and use amino acids to build new cells and other things with the use of protein.

So, we do not need that much protein. And plant-based diet with a good variety of healthy foods can successfully meet your protein needs, it is impossible not work.

HOST: It is no exaggeration to say, "Food is medicine." Scientific studies countless have shown that a vegan diet can protect us or even reverse many chronic diseases.

Mother Chuter: There is strong evidence that shook the scientific literature where plant-based diet that is not ripe to help prevent heart disease and can actually reverse heart disease, even in people who have an acute arterial occlusion conditions.

He helped to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes, many conditions such as auto-immune colitis, lupus, and arthritis. Plant-based diet that is not cooked well help protect many common cancers, the most common cancer in Australia such as breast, prostate, and colon.

Another important thing is if someone already has cancer and then apply the plant-based diet that is not cooked so it can maximize their opportunities for healing and to protect the onset of their cancer returning.

HOST: What other health conditions that could be prevented by following a diet free of animal products?

Mother Chuter: On a more mundane level, or perhaps every day, has been proven that vegans far fewer overweight or obese when eating it by itself may help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. And plant-based diet that is not cooked also help overcome the problem of menstruation and PMS.

And that's good for anyone who ever suffered from constipation. If you apply a vegan diet, it will not be a problem for you. Indeed, it is just the tip of the iceberg, but they are the main ones I can think of at this time.

HOST: Scientific research also revealed that eating meat causes excess iron in the human body.

Chuter Mother: As with iron, there are plenty of iron in plant foods. Your doctor will tell you that the iron from red meat is better because it is the absorption of heme iron. In other words it is the iron from the blood. The problem is heme iron inhibits the normal controls that are used by our intestines to absorb iron. So your intestines can not filter the excess heme iron. And people who eat meat, especially red meat, often end up with too much iron. And iron overload is a very dangerous condition. It increases your risk of heart attacks and many different types of cancer.

But if you live a vegetarian diet then it will be sufficient, quite perfect, abundant iron in these foods. And of course plants contain many substances that actually improves iron absorption, such as vitamin C and citric acid.

HOST: Ms. Chuter next convey the hazards associated with eating dairy products.

Mother Chuter: For calcium, there is irrefutable evidence that the country whose inhabitants ate the most dairy products have the highest hip fracture rates. So among the population of greedy Americans who drink such milk products, hip fracture rate was 98 per 100,000 population.

Among black people in Africa, the Bantu tribes in South Africa they basically do not eat dairy products and their calcium intake is low, it's about 300 milligrams per day, and their hip fracture rate 9 per 100,000 in the population.

Physicians' Health Study is in progress against the men in the United States and other so-called epidemiological studies, population-based studies have found a definite relationship between consumption of dairy products with prostate cancer risk. So the more you eat dairy products a person, the higher the risk of getting prostate cancer, and also the higher risk of prostate cancer becomes a malignant cancer.

And there is also a fairly strong epidemiological evidence that consumption of dairy products associated with risk of breast cancer in women.

There are many other conditions, for example, type 1 diabetes rates are highest in Scandinavian countries where consumption of dairy products is very high.

There are several studies that associated with the early introduction of cow's milk into the diet of children with increased risk of type 1 diabetes. Once you have type 1 diabetes you will menyuntuik insulin every day during your lifetime. And even if your condition properly maintained, it may simply be cut off 10 years of your healthy life expectancy. So it's actually a serious condition.

For Crohn's disease and colitis, there is considerable evidence to connect them with the consumption of dairy products. So John McDougall, American physician who has long supported against plant-based diet for health said that the milk is liquid meat! Do not think you can stop the meat and instead stick to dairy products and assume you'll make healthy changes in your diet. This is not true.

HOST: People are also putting their health at risk when eating fish because fish absorb pollutants dumped countless people into the sea.

Mother Chuter: Due to human activities, the oceans now become full of contaminants. And because the ocean currents, these contaminants to flow deep into the ocean, so anything that lives in the sea polluted by various substances such as methyl mercury, PCBs, and dioxins.

Now, mercury is a non-radioactive metal of the most toxic on the planet. He is a really powerful neurotoxin. So it damages the nervous system, and infants and children particularly great risk of this. He also affect reproductive health. He can cause miscarriage in women and low sperm counts in men. It causes dementia in old age: extraordinary danger.

Women who ate fish more than twice a week had a number of mercury in the blood seven times more than women who rarely ate fish.

It's even worse for the children. Children who frequently eat fish have 40 times the average national mercury contamination in their blood. The reason why there is a greater effect on children because their kidneys are very inefficient in removing mercury, so it accumulates in their bodies.

Nowadays people are encouraged to eat fish and eat fish for omega 3 oils. But in the process they absorb the mercury, which is one of the most harmful substances for your nervous system.

In addition to mercury, PCBs exist. Today there are polychlorinated biphenyls. They cause cancer. PCB also magnify the effects of the neurotoxin mercury, and dioxins which cause disruption to the endocrine system, hormonal system, nervous system, reproductive system.

Once again the children in particular have a greater risk of dioxin. And dioxins are at very high levels in many fish species. So if you managed to avoid high mercury-contaminated fish, you probably still dealing with a number of dioxins and PCBs.

HOST: What is the recommended Ms. Chuter as a source of omega-3 fatty acids that are non-animal?

Chuter Mother: Because there is variation among people's ability to convert short chain omega-3 fats from plants to long-chain DHA and EPA that we need. I actually recommend the vegans and vegetarians to eat EPA and DHA derived from algae. In other words, it is in fact marine algae that produce EPA and DHA that you get at the fish and seafood in general. So the algae is the source. And algae can be grown in controlled conditions, so no contamination whatsoever.

Ulcers.... Ulcers... Ulcers

Who would have thought was a refrigerator in our house that had been considered can store food to be more durable than decay, is dangerous to health.


Research conducted by one of the European companies find if refrigerated foods and drinks that contain lots of harmful bacteria. The result, some refrigerator compartment is believed to contain a large number of pathogens. The biggest problem it causes a lot of bacteria due to equipment connected to the boxes for fruits and vegetables.

Research conducted on the refrigerator with a way to check the refrigerator's 30 residents. Apparently refrigerators contain an average of 7850 colony-forming units of bacteria persentyimenter square. In rare cases, their number until it reaches gigantic proportions, 129 thousand to 1 cm square. The boxes were found to have harmful bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and listeria.

Although the bacteria can not immediately disappear, but the most powerful way to stop its development is keeping the refrigerator clean by washing. That way, the bacteria in the refrigerator will not be able to breed. Remember to wash your refrigerator. It is very important for your health.
