Every woman must have noticed the eye is a window of beauty. Therefore, various efforts were made to keep the eyes look clear and beautiful.

That opinion is not wrong because the concept of aesthetic beauty is so easily caught the eye. Women are less fortunate if you do not look good in the eyes of others. The make up artist said, you do not need to dress up just to complete a fresh look. Instead, focus on eye cosmetics and voila!

Without having to use a whole set of makeup, you can look pretty and fresh. Unfortunately, there are still many women who do not realize the danger that threatens beauty eye. Gladly, they put eyeshadow to highlight the charm without subsequent treatment. The result, his eyes were red and skin around the eyes is easy menggelambir. Another problem has come to threaten beauty eye. For example, the relaxed eye bags and black, eyelids no longer tight, and wrinkles in the corner of the eye.

The condition of the skin around the eyelids is very sensitive. So keep in mind and well cared for. Using a clean cosmetic products so that the eyes are not irritated. If it’s the parents, the eye bags are a part of the aging process, in which degeneration occurs in the fat.

In addition to the use of cosmetics that are not appropriate. Problems that arise around the eyes caused due to aging, lifestyle, air pollution, is also due to ultraviolet radiation (UV). When was this, a variety of ways do to the eyes always looked beautiful and healthy. Not seldom use eyedrops constantly be one solution to the eyes glowing. But if it is safe when done regularly?

Urban area  is full of pollution, it entered into a mild irritation (dry eyes), so sometimes we give free drugs to reduce the red. But it should really pay attention, because the drugs actually do contain ingredients that can be pursed blood vessels. And that is not good. But it can be used if inflammation like the redness in the eye and watery.

Use of eye drops are not the only way to maintain beauty of the eyes. Constantly working at the computer and exposed to the air-conditioner can make eyes tired, resulting in lower visual function, and of course the freshness of the eye. One natural way is to rest the eye.

Ranging from body scrubs, massage, spa, full-blooded face and body to facials, and even treatment to restore skin firmness. If you think this is enough, then try to think again.

Various treatments, only touching the outside of the body only, whereas in skin care for the body tends to be forgotten. In fact, treatment of the body as essential to the maintenance of the outside.

Treatment of the body can be done by taking vitamin E. Vitamin E has a lots of benefits for skin beauty. Call it a powerful antioxidant that can prevent damage to skin cells from free radicals that can improve the regeneration of skin cells. The skin becomes thin and dry.

This is because the moisture is maintained so that water does not easily evaporate from the skin pores. In addition, vitamin E also works resist the onslaught of ultraviolet rays A and B and bacterial infections. Not only that, vitamin E may also prevent damage to collagen and elastic fibers of the free radicals thus increasing collagen for skin cells regeneration.  As a result, the skin elasticity was increased and prevent wrinkles. So, can avoid premature aging.

This vitamin to maintain general body health. If traced, there are eight forms of vitamin E. Yet, the most active in the body is alpha-tocophirol.

Keep in mind, the benefits of vitamin E may also be obtained by eating nuts, green vegetables, corn oil, almonds, sunflower seeds, broccoli, soybean oil, and kiwi.

Research carried out the Cancer Control Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington DC, United States show for those who drank soda at least two times a week, 87 per cent more at risk of experiencing a fatal pancreatic cancer than those who rarely consume sodas.

“People who drink two times or more soft drinks per week had an increased risk of 87 percent or almost twice the risk of pancreatic cancer compared with individuals who do not consume soft drinks,” said the study’s lead author, Noel T Mueller MPH, a researcher at The Cancer Control Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington DC, United States, as quoted by WebMD.

The study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a scientific journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. Soft drinks companies respond immediately about these results. They stated that research directly disclose defects and other research that found that there was no link between soda consumption and pancreatic cancer.

In this study, Mueller and his colleagues conduct ongoing evaluation for 14 years on 60,524 men and women enrolled in the Singapore Chinese Health Study. The study began in 1993 when researchers noted what they eat and whether it will suffer from cancer.
The researchers asked the participants to tell him what he ate, including soft drinks and fruit juices. However, Mueller said, researchers did not ask specifically about their dietary consumption, but most of them drank regular soda.

In Singapore at that time, Mueller explained, looking very little intake of soda in the community. “We followed the participants for 14 years. And each time a different record the cancer, “he said. The result, researchers recorded 140 cases occurred pancreatic cancer and began to look back to see if anything to do with the consumption of soda or fruit juice.

The researchers divided consumption of soda and juice into three categories, they are, do not drink at all, less than two times per week and two times or more a week. In conclusion, those who drank soda two times or more in a week the average number of five-year-old has a 87 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer.

However, it was found that there was no relationship between fruit juice consumption and the risk of pancreatic cancer. So why soda can relate? He admitted it needs to be studied further. “However, what we believe is the sugar in soft drinks can increase insulin levels in the body, which we consider to contribute to the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. Increased insulin may lead to cancer development, “said Mueller.

Even so, the researchers believe the risk of pancreatic cancer increases if other factors, such as advanced age, smoking, diabetes, and body mass index is associated with obesity. Pancreatic cancer risk increases as your age.

With this result, the soft drinks industry immediately launched a protest. “This study has many weaknesses in it,” said Richard Adamson, PhD, scientific consultant of the American Beverage Association in Washington, DC, United States. For example, according to Adamson, his little case of pancreatic cancer experienced by participants. He showed the 140 cases, 110 of these people do not drink soda at all, while the other 12 people eat less than twice a week and another 18 two times or more servings a week.

“This means that only a small number of cases of pancreatic cancer compared with the population studied,” he said. Other studies also, he added, did not find the relationship between soda and pancreatic cancer. The American Beverage Association points to a study in 2008 which found no such relationship. The study also only focused on the consumption of soft drinks, but did not see the overall dietary pattern. “You can be a healthy person and enjoy soft drinks without feeling anxious,” Adamson added.

Susan Mayne, PhD, Director of Yale Cancer Center and professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, say, the results of the study is “interesting” because of small cases that found that does not prove direct causality. In fact, he included members of the editorial board of the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. This study itself was funded the National Cancer Institute.

Colonel Laurence N MD, PhD, a researcher at the Cancer Research Center and professor of public health at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, said although the new study has limitations, but these findings relate to previous research. He and his colleagues say there is a relationship between added sugars in foods and the risk of pancreatic cancer. The results of this study was published in 2007. “In our study, found a positive relationship between high intake of fructose and pancreatic cancer,” he said. “Since high fructose corn syrup is the main sweetener of non-diet soft drinks, our findings and the latest study is quite consistent,” he said.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the 11 types of cancer most common in the UK. In the United States, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2009 about 42,000 people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and 35,240 of them died. This cancer claimed claimed 7700 lives every year.

The life expectancy of people with only 19 per cent per year. Of 100 people, patients who lived only 19 people. Meanwhile, who has a life expectancy over 5 years is only 4 percent. Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze and tenor Luciano Pavarotti is famous patient who died of pancreatic cancer.

Stimulate the child’s intelligence is not difficult and always need a big cost. Simplest way to improve the intelligence of the child for an example, could be done with massage.

Children are smart, of course, be whoever desires. Intelligence should be stimulated earlier, even since the fetus is still in the womb. Further stimulation performed according to age. Way too diverse. Starting from fulfilling nutritional, educational games, up to a decent education.

One measure of one’s intelligence can be seen from the Intelligence quotient (IQ). IQ is an index of intelligence that is the result of an IQ test.

One study revealed that IQ can be changed as many as 20 points during a person’s life. Intelligence can be interpreted as a kind of intelligence needed by someone to do something, to act with clear purpose, to think in order to overcome or solve problems rationally in accordance with the demands of its environment .

Intelligence is something closely related to developments in the brain. The brain already has the capacity in it, but to get the high quality necessary to stimulate the brain to develop optimally. To develop the brain, one way to provide stimulation from the environment into the brain through the senses.

The development of intelligence also depends on the physical development of children in this case related to the intake of nutrients needed by the brain and other body members in order to grow and function properly. Just as breast milk is one of the babies the sense of taste stimuli.

In addition to giving nutritional intake in a way that exclusive breastfeeding can develop children’s cognitive, and contains a variety of fatty acids in breast milk so that it can improve the intelligence of children, providing stimulus to the child so smart could also be done by massaging the baby’s activities.

Massage is known as one form of therapy in the medical world, both for adults and infants or children. Massage can improve health and provide relaxing effect on babies or children, so the blood circulation.

Then, how the link between intelligence and child massage? With a massage, the brain could have a better develop and increase the ability of the brain work. And from there, baby or child feel more comfortable with the touch of a massage given moment, he felt accepted, was also noted. Massage can also improve the bonding or attachment between the infant or child and mother.

Proximity to the mother gives a sense of security in infants or children. Thus, infants or children become more confident in their environment. In addition, the baby will be better prepared to receive a stimulus so they can learn more quickly, and is closely related to developments in the brain.

Another benefit of massage is to make babies sleep better. This can increase the power of concentration that makes the future become more intelligent. Baby massage can be introduced  since early stage, which can be started from 0 to 12 months.  In the meantime, the best time for massaging is early morning in the evening so your baby can fall asleep with a deep sleep. Or also the night before the child’s bed.

With massage, babies or children can reduce stress hormones. Massage will enhance child growth and development. That way, your child will grow up to be a smart kid.

Acupuncture is one of the many alternative treatments to treat various diseases. But remember, there is something you need to watch out for when having acupuncture.

Beware of any equipments that are used if you do not want to become infected. Use disposable needles, experts warned that the use of contaminated needles can lead to bacterial infections, hepatitis B and C, might even get HIV.

In an editorial published in the British Medical Journal, microbiologists from the University of Hong Kong said the number of reporting infections associated with acupuncture in the world is like the tip of an iceberg, and requires infection control measures.

“To prevent infections that are transmitted through acupuncture, then the infection control measures must be implemented such as the use of disposable needles, skin disinfectants and procedures using septic technique,” said research leader Patrick Woo, a professor of microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, as quoted from Reuters, Saturday (20/3/2010).

Woo also added that the strict regulations and accreditation for places that provide acupuncture services are also absolutely necessary.

Woo and his colleagues reveal acupuncture needles can be risky as you enter a few inches beneath the skin and warn a new syndrome which is acupuncture mycobacteriosis.

The syndrome is caused by microbacteries which quickly grew around the acupuncture needle insertion point as a result of contamination of cotton swabs, towels or other hot equipment.

“For the ones with long incubation period, it can cause abscesses and big pimples,” says Woo.

Acupuncture is an alternative treatment based on the theory of soft needle insert at certain points of the body to help increase the flow of ‘Qi’ or energy.

Globally so far have reported more than 50 cases due to acupuncture mycobacteriosis. In some cases, the bacteria that are transmitted from the patient’s skin flora or the environment is not given due to skin disinfectant prior to acupuncture.

Most patients recover from these bacterial infections, but 5-10 percent of reported infections end up with serious problems such as joint damage, multi-organ failure, other diseases and paralysis. There was also a 5 outbreaks of hepatitis B virus infection associated with acupuncture.

Therefore the public should choose the right place to get acupuncture. We must see the cleanliness and sterilization of all equipment used. It is important that acupuncture treatment does not cause new problems in our life.

Flu or commonly called the common cold, can affect your daily activities. Immune system becomes weaker and make us easily get sick. But do not worry! You can use some simple ways to stay fit. One of them is using vacation time effectively.

Influenza virus can attack all age groups. The highest infection rates occur among children age. The number and severity of disease deaths occur in people aged more than 65 years of age or patients with certain diseases due to be vulnerable to any infection.

Factors Causes and Symptoms

Frequent colds or influenza is known as an acute viral infection in the respiratory tract. Occurs in epidemics or pandemics. The infection is caused by several strains of influenza viruses, namely influenza virus A, B, and C. Virus incubation period lasts for 3-10 days. It is characterized by inflammation in the nasal mucosa, pharynx, and conjunctiva. Then, influenza accompanied by headache, muscle pain, sore throat, cough, fever, chills and weakness.

Flu is a disease caused by viruses and usually attack when the conditions of our endurance was not good. Especially during the rainy season. Normally this virus is transmitted through saliva, which had been infected. And ways of transmission can be from coughing or sneezing of patients suffering from the flu.

The incubation period of the disease is approximately one to four days (an average of two days). In adults, the infection attacked since the days before the onset of influenza symptoms until five days after the onset of this disease. While the children can spread the virus to more than ten days. Characteristics that appear from this disease of the incidence of respiratory disorders such as sudden fever and nasal congestion. For some people who previously had lung and heart problems, influenza can cause disease pneumonia secondary.

Flu is a disease that has symptoms that stage throat, head and chest. But it is not sequential stages. You might first hit on the head or throat. In some cases of influenza marked by cold and accompanied by high fever. The patient usually will also feel the pain in the throat. All of these symptoms are also accompanied by headache, abdominal pain and a husky voice. In some cases, influenza is also accompanied by nausea, coughing and vomiting. Even for severe cases patients usually also have diarrhea.

Influenza viruses are constantly changing, the fox, then you can do is treat the symptoms and prevent complications did not occur. Giving vitamin C is proven to accelerate the healing process. If fever accompanies the additional needed energy supplies unutuk food and vitamin B for the metabolism of calories. Improvements needed terhdap infection vitamins A and C and iron for the formation of antibodies that the body needs to strengthen durability.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis is done by recognizing the symptoms of the patient. Usually the symptoms that arise from the patient will we know. In addition, there are also checks droplets from the nose to the lab. The main treatment by improving the general condition of the patient.  For patients who complained of headaches will usually be given paracetamol.  Rest is the most appropriate way to treat this disease. Because the general condition of the patient’s rest can be much improved. Especially for you who like to work, it is recommended to temporarily stop your activity.

In addition, multiply water consumption. If under normal conditions you eat 6 to 8 glasses a day then when the cold then you should increase water consumption up to 10 cups. Water can wash away the virus from your body in various forms such as sweat and urine. To overcome a sore throat can also take tablets for throat antiseptic.

Keep in mind, the patient is not supposed to touch the sugar-containing foods such as cakes, ice cream and other sweet foods. Content of sugar in the blood will lower your body resistance against infection, it is advisable to consume fruits, juice or juice. Since the beverage contains vitamins will speed up the recovery process of the body. Most people recover within a week.

Last but not least, the community needs to consider the composition of a drunk cold medicines for drug component in accordance with flu-like symptoms experienced. The selection must be appropriate medication and should not be wrong. General flu drug is a combination of several active substances. For example, combinations of analgesic / antipyretic plus a nasal decongestant, analgesic / antipyretic plus nasal decongestants and anthistamin. The use of flu drugs not intended for long-term. If the flu symptoms are not reduced, or increasingly heavy after taking cold medication for three days should immediately consult a doctor or health care units.

Pancreatic enzymes help digest food in the small intestine, whereas insulin to control blood sugar levels. Both enzymes and hormones necessary to maintain the body in order to work properly. The most frightening disorders that occur in this organ is a cancer of the pancreas.

Pancreatic cancer occurs when malignant cells (malignant) grow, develop, and spread in pancreatic tissue. Pancreatic cancer is known as the silent disease because in the early stages of this disease have almost no symptoms. However, if cancer cells have flourished and spread, the pain usually will occur in the upper abdomen and sometimes spreads to the back. Other symptoms include sudden weight loss, depression, and decreased appetite.

Although the exact causes of pancreatic cancer is unknown, but smoking is a major risk factor. Smokers have 2-3 times the risk of higher pancreatic cancer than nonsmokers. Age also affects the existence of this disease, pancreatic cancer usually tend to occur at the age above 45 years.
Other risk factors include diabetes, pancreatitis, and cirrhosis of the liver. There was also missed a family history of the disease also has a role. Pancreatic cancer can be very fierce indeed. Many sufferers die within a year after diagnosis. Only a few, less than 4 percent that will survive five years after diagnosis.

No wonder when the National Cancer Institute says pancreatic cancer is rarely curable. If the cancer is still in the pancreas (localized), the level of recovery would be greater. Even so, this is usually a good hope in all cases only slightly, less than 20 percent.

For patients with cancer who are still measuring less than 2 cm, with no spread to lymph nodes, surgical removal of cancer patients could save at least five years. This possibility could reach 18-24 percent.

Cancer treatment, depending on a number of factors, such as cancer type, size and spread of cancer is also the overall condition of the patient and his age. Therefore, each patient can not be treated the same. Although somewhat difficult to cure, doctors still will try as hard as possible to care for patients in order to increase the quality of life, such as by surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Usually treatment for pancreatic cancer is very unusual that the body affects the cancer cells die. Therefore, the doctor will give another drug as a combination. Treatment will give the effect of nausea, flushed skin, hair loss, loss of appetite, weakness, and decreased weight.

Intake of nutritious food is needed at the time of healing. Treatment that serves to replace the insulin the pancreas is also necessary because as the plant is disturbed insulin function. Then, how to prevent this deadly cancer? Of course the only way is to avoid factors that cause and factors of this disease.

Cases of hypertension and stress a lot happening, and potentially life threatening. Although no direct connection, they put you at risk of health problems, such as heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke.

According to the American Heart Association, approximately 1 in 3 adults has hypertension. Mayo Clinic health site notes, the researchers found no evidence that long-term stress causes hypertension. The cause of hypertension could actually other factors associated with stress, such as drinking alcohol or overeating. As the quotation from the Modern Mom.

Sports proven to reduce stress and improve self-confidence and endhorpins-chemicals in the brain to reduce anxiety and depression. All make an impact on lowering blood pressure. Exercise can lower systolic blood pressure of 5-10 mm Hg.

Aerobic

Aerobic or physical activity that increases breathing and heart rate can be controlled hypertension, including walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling. Even mowing the lawn or washing the floors were considered aerobic exercise during the activity can improve breathing and heartbeat. To control blood pressure, do 30-60 minutes of aerobics four times or more a week.

Heart

Exercise helps your heart in several ways. First, strengthen the heart muscle so it can pump more blood with less effort. Second, increase blood flow to the heart and makes the heart work more efficiently, thus reducing the force on the arteries and reduce blood pressure. And third, helping to reduce levels of insulin, a hormone that contributes to high blood pressure.

Weight Loss

Fatty tissue needs oxygen and nutrients just like every tissue in your body. Increasing the amount of fat in the body means the heart must pump more blood in the larger volume. As a result, more pressure on your artery walls.

Sports help you keep your weight down to healthy levels, also reduces blood pressure. In fact, the Mayo Clinic noted that weight loss is only approximately 10 pounds can lower blood pressure significantly.
