It deal with the use of shrimp feed for eel feed. Constraints also make the cultivation of his eel processing plant is still shortage of raw materials. "The capacity of the factory around 2000 tonnes, but production of this plant has not been optimal, only reached 300 tons / year," he explained.

Discharge is known to have high nutritional value. Eel fish liver has 15,000 IU/100 gram of vitamin A. Higher than the vitamin A content of butter at only 1900 grams IU/100. Even the DHA content of 1337 mg/100 g of fish eel salmon beat that only listed 820 mg/100 g or 748 mg/100 grams of mackerel.

Foods that contain saturated fat include meat, butter, or fried foods. Meanwhile, high cholesterol foods such as eggs, shrimp, chicken breast, organ meats, sirloin steak, and much more.

He explained, cholesterol is naturally produced by the liver. "80 percent of cholesterol in the body is produced by our bodies, the rest comes from foods that diasup," he told a media education event titled Bad Cholesterol Can Kill Anytime held by Pfizer in Jakarta (1/7).

Improper food processing are also thought to be the cause of high cholesterol. "Frying food, what kind of oil in the body is converted into cholesterol," he said.

The recommended treatment process is boiled or steamed. Dr.Endang also suggest the importance of eating enough fiber to lower cholesterol. "Choose fiber from vegetables rather than fruits because fruits are also high in calories because if physical activity is low calorie eventually will be stacked in the body," he said.

We all know brushing is one of the very good habit to keep our teeth to stay healthy. But did you know that it has a habit of brushing after sipping drinks "acid" will only give bad impact to the health of our teeth.

The reason is, the combination of acidic soft drinks, juices, and isotonic drinks, and the movement of "rough" scrubbing will erode the enamel. This is what eventually lead to cavities. Acid content will soften the enamel making it more susceptible to damage when brushed.

So, rather than take a toothbrush and toothpaste every time you finish drinking acidic beverages such as juices, soft drinks or isotonic drinks, better get used to rinse with water only. This will help us clean up the acid content of our teeth. Or, we can also chew sugarless gum to increase saliva production or saliva to neutralize acids in the mouth.

If you want to keep brushing your teeth, wait about an hour after consuming beverages or foods that contain acid. Due to an hour were considered sufficient for the acid to the tooth enamel is lost and we are to return to the original condition.

Apparently when the study participants were instructed to count sheep or were not given any orders, they are even more time to sleep. Conversely, when they were asked to imagine something soothing, like the beach, they just fall asleep 20 minutes faster.

The researchers speculate that counting sheep may be very very boring, while imagining a calm atmosphere makes the body more relaxed so that more fast asleep.

In another study, researchers compared people who sleep easy with the insomnia. It results in no significant difference. People who insomnia usually imagine or think of something unpleasant, making anxious, noisy environment, or activities they've done in the daytime.

That's why the researchers conclude, if you want fast asleep, do not count sheep. But imagine a tranquil atmosphere and creates a feeling of comfort. Eye also easily be closed.

2011-12-21T00:13:00.001-08:00

A recent recommendation suggests that, those at risk or who have been sentenced to suffer heart disease should get the influenza vaccination to prevent the severity of the disease.

This was revealed by dr. Erwinanto Sp.JP, specialist heart and blood vessels of Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) Bandung, during the workshop titled Healthy Life, Healthy Me, Saturday (12/17/2011).

Erwin said, the existence of the flu vaccine is already available in Indonesia, but has not been a government program because the price is relatively expensive. Though further Erwin, in addition to providing benefits in people with heart problems, giving the flu vaccine can also prevent the worsening of other chronic medical conditions, like asthma or diabetes.

"It's especially for those with heart failure, in which the heart is easy to become infected. People with heart failure when she was hit by an infection, the condition will get worse," he explained.

Heart failure (heart failure) is generally defined as the inability of the heart to supply adequate blood flow to meet the needs of the body. Heart failure can cause a number of symptoms including shortness of breath, coughing, chronic venous congestion, swollen ankles and tired quickly.

Erwin said, the flu virus can cause inflammation (inflammation) in the body, especially the lungs. In this case, the patient's heart is the most vulnerable during a pandemic flu.

In cardiac patients, the influenza virus can cause swelling around the heart or arteries that cause clots. This is what causes heart attacks.

"It is evident that the flu vaccine can improve the quality of life of patients, because patients become more rare in the hospital. With vasksinasi patient can remain in the hospital but its frequency is reduced," he said.

Statins Reduce Risk of Death Patient Flu

2011-12-21T00:11:00.001-08:00

Statins have been known only to the extent of cholesterol-lowering drugs alone. But a new study released by the Journal of Infectious Diseases showed that statins can reduce the risk of death in patients hospitalized with influenza.

This is the first observational study that evaluated the association between statin use and mortality in hospitalized patients diagnosed with influenza virus infection, according to Vanderbilt William Schaffner, MD, professor and chairman of Preventive Medicine.

"We may be able to combine statins with antiviral drugs to provide better treatment for patients who experience severe illness due to influenza," Schaffner said.

In his research, the researchers looked at adult patients who were hospitalized with influenza illness in 2007-2008 to evaluate the relationship between patients who were prescribed statins and influenza-related deaths.

Among 3043 hospitalized patients who develop the flu, 33 percent of whom are given statin drugs before or during hospitalization. After adjusting for various factors, researchers found that patients who did not receive statins nearly two times more likely to die from influenza than patients getting the statin.

Even so, Schaffner stressed that influenza vaccination every year is still the best defense against influenza.

Coffee Can Prevent Hunger

2011-09-13T19:45:00.001-07:00

"According to some people, eating good coffee to support the diet program because it helps us withstand hunger. Is this correct?" (Fitria Suhardono, via e-mail)

Not really. According to Dr. Inge Permadhy, MS, SpGK, nutrition specialist from the department of Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta, caffeine in coffee functioning blood vessels dilate and increase the body's metabolism to burn fat. However, it does not mean coffee is able to lose weight. The first reason, we can not measure how many cups of coffee to be drunk to be an effective fat-burning process. Another reason, there are side effects if you drink too much coffee.

Caffeine increases the production of acid in the stomach, causing indigestion. In addition, we usually drink coffee with sugar added. This would negatively affect blood sugar levels.

The effect of coffee could actually starve does not apply to everyone. Relationship has not been proven scientifically. The most logical explanation is the sugar in a coffee substitute in the body's glucose needs. In some people, the impact does not arise hunger. However, it can also be caused by the habit and the feeling of drinking coffee if it's already been filled. Instead of drinking coffee, I advise you to exercise if you want to go on a diet.

This is the secret of "Masculinity" Men 94 Year

2011-07-20T21:15:00.000-07:00

Really secrets remain fertile into old age is having sex routine three times every night and eat butter every day? Ramjit Raghav, 94-year-old Indian man who became the oldest father in the world, revealing the secrets of his manhood!

Raghav just got incomparable happiness after giving his old wife of a 59-year-old healthy baby boy. The secret of fertility was apparently not separated from his past as a wrestler. He is also able to maintain his diet pattern for almost 100 years.

Raghav regular drinking 3 ½ quarts (nearly 3 liters of milk) and eat ghee (a type of special butter) is also mixed about 450 grams of almonds every day. In ayurvedic medicine, ghee is trusted for centuries to improve the quality and quantity of sperm. Unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence that supports that fact.

However, you need not worry. You also still be able to maintain and improve the quality plus quantity of sperm in any other way. Here are three ways in which:

Diet and exercise

It's very clear that these two things are most important for fertility. Urology expert Larry Lipshultz, MD, says there is something to be learned from the success of Raghav. By looking at the posture Raghav slender, elderly man has a low body fat portion.

"Fat tissue may interfere with testosterone production, slowing the production of sperm," Lipshultz said.

Raghav Even if the diet contains more fat than men generally standard, but it sounds kind of like a low-carb diet. According to research from the University of Connecticut and Duke University, it's not unusual when the calories from fat on low-carb diet could reach 70 percent so it can reduce weight and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Stop soaking in hot water

Lingering soak in hot water can interfere with the testes to produce sperm because the organs this one has a cooler temperature than the other guy's body parts. Lipshultz asserted, all the things that trigger the heat can cause problems, but bath in the hot tub became a special warning because it impacted directly on the testicular temperature.

Research now suggests, a hot bath of 1 to 5 hours a week can lower the sperm count. But the good news: this reduction was not permanent. But obviously, if you want to make the wife pregnant, hot tubs should be avoided.

Reduce Soybean

Many studies claim soy is a superfood, but in recent years, the statement is doubtful at least for the Adam. In 2008, research experts at Harvard University shows a correlation between intake of soy with reduced sperm counts. There are about 32 percent less decline in sperm per milliliter in men who eat soy every day than those who did not eat it. In addition, soybeans are also thought to trigger early cases of erectile dysfunction.

Wash Guts, Body Toxins Cleanser

2011-03-28T16:56:00.000-07:00

Allergies often relapse, insomnia, fatigue or skin problems could be an indication that the amount of toxins that accumulate in the body exceeds the ability of the exhaust system. Under these conditions, required additional treatment or detox program.

The objective of detox is to clean up hazardous substances that enter the body through food, drinks, pollution, while improving the body's disposal system. Organs play a key role in the process of detoxification is the liver and intestinal tract.

"The body does have its own cleaning mechanism ie through defecation (BAB). But how much do routine CHAPTER every day? After all not all the dirt out of the body, some will stick on the colon wall and become toxic over time," said Dr. . Catherine Tjahjadi, detoxification expert.

Therefore, he argues, the process is not smooth CHAPTER (constipation), as well as tertimbunnya "garbage" in the gut. The danger is these toxins can contact with the intestinal wall and cause inflammation.

In the large intestine absorption process is also still occur. "Which is absorbed not only water but also vitamins and minerals that are needed by the body. Do not miss toxins. So we will have autointoksikasi or poisoned by our own bodies," added the doctor of the clinic Suisse Jakarta.

Through the process of detox, which survive and crusty feces in the colon can be removed. Detox can be done in a way from the outside in, like only eating fruits and fiber alone.

Other types of local detox and effective is hidrokolon or washing the colon. The process is simple, very sterile water flowed through a small tube through the anus into the colon directly. Water used was drinking water standards that have been sterilized with UV light and temperature 37 degrees.

This water flow so that the stool softening mebesar intestine and stimulate peristalsis in the colon. "Then will arise a sense of heartburn and we are now pushing to remove dirt," said dr.Catherine.

Water used in hidrokolon therapy accounted for 36 liters and added gradually. "This therapy is not using the pump, water flow only rely on gravity alone for a gallon of water is rather high and the patient was placed in a position of half-sleep," he explained.

He added that a third of the first gallon aims to soften the stool at the end of the colon or new dirt that comes out is the feces. After that 2 / 3 next gallon that comes out of the anus is just water alone, which means cleansing the bowel wall has occurred.

"There are also patients from start to finish just out of the water course no feces. That's usually when a patient's dehydration so that feces are too loud. Hidrokolon usually must be repeated again to remove the stool," he added.

Hidrokolon process carried out for 40 minutes and conducted in a closed room for privacy and comfort of patients. For this therapy, patients are charged Rp. 500.000

Hidrokolon therapy is actually not new. According dr.Cathrine, this therapy has been known for thousands of years ago and is popular in many countries. However, this therapy was not included in conventional medicine. "Hidrokolon included in complementary medicine, but has been declared safe," he said.

Drinking alone is not enough

Although hidrokolon use water media to remove feces, but according to dr.Catherine results will differ if we do a detox yourself by drinking lots of water.

"If we drink water, first water will enter the stomach. In part it will be no absorption process so that the water entering the large intestine to live the rest. After all we are only capable of a maximum of as much as two liters of drinking water," he explained.

Similarly, laxative drugs that are only issued new dirt. "Dirt mengerak old and already can not come out. In addition, the workings of laxatives is to make the brain to send signals to the body to send large amounts of water into the colon. The effect of the body can be dehydrated," he said.

Although relatively safe, but hidrokolon therapy is not recommended for patients with colorectal cancer and patients with hypertension. "The flow of water and straining process continued for 40 minutes can make blood pressure adds up," explained dr.Catherine.
