Wednesday, December 23, 2009


New York, the threat of more bone loss experienced by women when started in old age. Women aged 35 years and over had to be selective when it comes to eat, especially foods that can build healthy bones.

Dr. Maoshing Ni, author of the book describes the Second Spring 6 easy ways to build strong bones that can be applied to anyone else before the bone density lost due to osteoporosis, such as the debut of MSN, Tuesday (22/12/2009).

1. Get calcium from whole grains

Most people choose the product derived from milk and beef for calcium needs. But Dr. Maoshing said protein and calcium content in cow's milk which causes high high acid levels in the blood. The effect is more calcium lost from the body than that obtained when drinking milk.

Protein molecules in milk was also greater than the human digestive molecules that the immune system sometimes rejected and considered a foreign body or cause allergies. That's why many people who have kelelehan, decreased ability to concentrate and have excess mucus when drinking milk.

Some people who do not have the enzymes, like lactase, which is used to digest milk sugar, while consuming milk causes stomach pain, diarrhea, abdominal carbonated up.

The safest way to get calcium than from milk is the taking of seeds, nuts, or green leaves.

2. Consumption of orange

Calcium and Vitamin D is good for bone health. Calcium is used to build and maintain bone density, while vitamin D is needed because the body can not absorb calcium without vitamin D.

Cow's milk is often heralded as the best food for strong bones. But new research suggests that the body can absorb calcium and vitamin D from milk as easy as orange juice. Orange juice is rich in vitamin C contains antioxidants that help the absorption of calcium into the body.

But be reminded that orange juice contains acetic acid which can erode tooth enamel, you should not brush teeth immediately, wait for an hour after drinking orange juice.

3. Sunbathing at the right time

Sunbathing before 9 o'clock in the morning or after 4 pm so the body needs to produce vitamin D. But it is also important to avoid exposure to sunlight is too much as it can cause premature aging and even the threat of skin cancer, so it is important to pay attention when sunbathing.

4. Reduce soda

Drinking carbonated beverages satisfy thirst is especially when the sun was blazing. Sometimes people choose diet sodas to avoid high calories in the hope not to gain weight.

But you know, the problem of soft drinks including diet is not merely a problem of calories you safe? Carbonated beverages can deplete calcium in the bones because they contain phosphoric acid.

If you really feel thirsty better carbonated drink mineral water with a slice of orange added a more secure for the bones.

5. Supplements correctly

When you've entered the age of 35 years began taking the right calcium supplements. Make sure you are taking supplements that easily absorbed by the size of 600 mg magnesium and 1200 mg of calcium. Please note also the amount of boron, copper, zinc, and Vitamin B3. Liquid calcium citrate-containing base is the right choice because it can be added to the juice drinks.

6. Sorting of minerals which can make bones stronger

Besides calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, minerals are also important for bone formation. Unfortunately, the content of minerals such as boron, manganese, copper, zinc and vitamin K is often overlooked. And this mineral acts as a cofactor (essential element) in the process of bone development.

Boron reduces calcium loss in urine. Boron is found in fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Vitamin K is found in green leafy vegetables which proved essential for protein building blocks of bone.

Daily intake of good minerals is 10 mg boron, manganese 5 mg, 5 mg copper, 25 mg zinc and 150 mg of vitamin K. Make sure your daily multivitamin containing these minerals.



Dying Young Because Heart


Jakarta, cases of death from a heart attack at a young age becoming more frequent. Whereas previously more heart disease attacking elderly people. Why is now a lot of phenomena to die young because of heart?

Actually, this phenomenon not only in Indonesia but also other countries such as Japan and China, "said Dr. H. Aulia Sani, SpJP (K) FJCC FIHA when contacted detikHealth, Wednesday (23/12/2009).

Further, Dr. Aulia explain such foods that have cholesterol, fat and salt is very high, so that can make young people already affected by hypertension or cholesterol diseases. Plus the lack of activity or sport of young people this, because more sitting in front of the computer, working on the elevator or just watching television.

Also present generation prefers soft drink consumption compared to drinking water or tea, and sugar content in soft drinks can trigger the high incidence of diabetes is a risk factor of heart disease.

"The risk factors of heart disease there were four of hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes and smoking. The four things that can trigger heart disease," said a doctor who practiced at the Hospital Heart Center Harapan Kita, Jakarta.

Have a parent or family with a history of heart disease can indeed contribute, but this genetic factor could have been prevented if these generations have a healthy lifestyle and right.

"But if the younger generation often snacking, sports lazy, sleeping late, so a break and smoke less, then the phenomenon of a heart attack at a young age can happen even faster. Moreover, coupled with school children who are smoking, so the earlier the more risks they smoked big, "said 64-year-old doctor.

Dr Aulia added to avoid the increasingly widespread phenomenon of a heart attack at a young age, the most important thing to do is change the pattern of life (life style modification) with the diligent exercise, consumption of healthy foods rather than fast food, multiply drinking water and not smoking.

In a study in Japan, the experts found the fact that eating 70 grams of fresh broccoli every day for two months to protect the human body from bacteria-related stomach ulcer disease, gastric infections, and even stomach cancer.

Ingredients sulforaphane in broccoli that may trigger enzymes in the stomach, thus providing protection against radical compounds that can damage DNA and cause inflammation.

Sulforaphane in broccoli are also known to increase the production of phase II enzymes in the liver. These enzymes act took carcinogen substances produced from compounds prokarsinogen and out of cells. Keep in mind, the content of sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts fresh higher than the already boiled broccoli overcooked.

Breast, 20 times More Great



Breastfeeding exclusively and optimally will make the baby grow up healthy, strong, and intelligent. How not? 200 Breast milk contains nutrients and provides immunity for the baby 20 times.

According to Drs. Utami Rusli, Sp.A. MBA IBCLC, child specialist at the Hospital of St..Carolus Jakarta, in the milk contained more than 200 elements of matter which is very beneficial for infant growth. That substances such as egg whites, fat, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, growth hormones, various enzymes, immune substances, and others.

Too bad there are still many people who do not understand very well that breast milk has an unparalleled value compared with formula or other food supplements. This fact must be socialized in a more vigorous and ongoing.

Excess milk is located primarily in the specialties. Horse milk is suitable for a baby horse, a giraffe milk for the baby giraffe. Human babies also will be much better if given the most suitable milk, ie milk, not dairy animals.

Therefore, we know breast milk is often called exclusively breastfed (exclusive breast feeding).Special addition because it comes from the same species, namely humans, can adjust the content of breast milk your baby needs with the development of his age.

Breast milk out at birth until the day of the 4th or the 7th is called colostrum. Breast milk out on the day of the 7th until the 10th or the 14th after birth is called transition milk. Milk that came out after the 14th day of birth is mature breast milk. Nutritional composition of the three types of milk are each different.

"In fact there are differences in the composition of milk from minute to minute," said Chairman of Penitentiary Hospital Exclusive Breastfeeding St. Carolus Jakarta this. For example, the fat content in milk during 3-5 days-old infant was 1.85 g / dl. At 15-18 days of age infants, the fat content became 3.06 g / dl.

30 Minutes After Birth 
On the first day after birth, breast milk nutrient content is very high. Dr. Utami also always recommend that AT LEAST 30 minutes or half an hour after birth, the baby must be nursed her mother. At that time the mother's milk to produce colostrum, milk jolong, or early milk and watery yellowish color.

Colostrum is rich in nutrients and antibodies that serve to protect the baby from infection.Colostrum will appear again 30 hours later. That means if the baby does not immediately get the first colostrum, he lost his high nutritive substances from the mother.

Although the baby still had a chance to get it, then colostrum production is only 30 milliliters per day. That means, the colostrum produced only one milliliter in one hour.

Of course this is very less. In fact, colostrum contains proteins, minerals, and vitamins A, E, and B12. Colostrum contains even less fat and sugar than the milk produced in the following days.

Functionally, colostrum play clean water and mucus bile (meconium) in the baby's digestive tract. This is very important because at the time after birth, babies are very susceptible to infection and a very new environment for him. Colostrum also will eliminate hunger in newborns without being accompanied by intake of sugar or milk formula.

According to Drs. Utami, breast milk out on the first five minutes is called foremilk. Different composition of milk is out then or hindmilk. Foremilk is more dilute, high protein and low carbohydrates.

While hindmilk high carbohydrates, low protein, and fat content 4-5 times more than the foremilk. This is a glut hindmilk baby.

Immune Substances Heritage
In addition to filling, colostrum contains immunoglobulins or immune substances. Kinds of proteins in charge of fighting infection in the body is not owned by the dairy animals. Content of these substances in the colostrum hingga17 about 10 times more than in mature breast milk.That caused breastfed babies have optimal immune 15 to 20 times better.

Actually, the baby's body had begun to make their own antibodies immediately after birth.However, the new antibodies that will reach the peak of its strength at the age of nine infants to 12 months.

Therefore, ASI is an antibody of the strongest support for the early growth of the baby. Moreover because breast milk contain millions of white blood cells are useful for killing germs in the intestines evil baby.

Content of these immune substances truly amazing. Immune mothers against various diseases will be passed to the baby through breast milk. If a mother has no immunity to the five agents of disease, the baby will also get the same inheritance.

The effectiveness of the use of breast milk will feel it when the baby was nursing her own mother. When the two mothers gave birth and her baby got mixed up, milk given by the two will not match even though no side effects in infants.

First Six Months
Given that breast milk is the most suitable food for babies, WHO recommends that for ages 0 to six months of breast-fed babies as the main menu and the only one. This suggestion is reasonable because in addition to having setipe and immune substances, content of milk can also educate the baby.

In Taurine in breast milk are very important in the formation of brain cells, nerve cells, and retina.Taurine is an amino acid that is used to help absorb fats and vitamins are fat soluble. Taurine also helps regulate heartbeat, stabilize the cell membrane, and maintain continuity of brain cells.

In addition, Taurine also contains long-chain fat. This fat-forming precursor arachidonic acid (ARA) or linoleic acid (omega-6) and Docosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) or alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). Both materials are known to very useful in the development of the nervous system of the brain and the sense of sight. Dr. Utami asserts that DHA and ARA is not found in cow's milk or other animal's milk.

While in formula (cow's milk made with the addition of other materials) has said DHA and ARA, intestinal absorption baby will not be optimal, only about 20 percent. In fact, DHA and ARA are found in breast milk can be absorbed by the baby's gut as much as 100 percent with the help of the enzyme lipase.

Optimal absorption of DHA and ARA that make baby's brain development of the maximum.Intelligence will continue to increase, especially when up to 12 months of age she was still breast-fed, in addition to other extra food bemanfaat.

Healthy Soul Raga
Benefits of breast milk is not only related to physical health. Effects on mental health also. Dr.Utami states that exclusive breastfeeding is part of the education of children. ASI not only educate the child in terms of the brain, but also the heart and spirituality.
Although it still needs further research to conclude that, while this description may help to explain the concept. While in the womb, babies are in heaven as a very soothing and reassuring.

Amniotic fluid are due to alternating cycles have always been like a gentle caress, the womb where the baby is sleeping protect them from danger, like a mother's heartbeat that melodious singing lulled him, and mother's breath as a rocking swing. The atmosphere is really comfortable and both the baby dead.

When born, the baby really was surprised with the other world at all with what he felt before.Many strange things must be faced. The only thing that can be trusted is the mother. Therefore, feeding is a very appropriate therapy to restore an atmosphere that is felt during a baby in the womb.

Hugs and gentle caress of the mother during breast-feeding makes babies feel safe and secure.The serenity that come to support the growth of the baby better.

"Especially if the mother read the words of wisdom like the Bible. Babies will growing expectations of the mother, to be good and pious, "said Dr. Utami. @ Abd
