Causes and Tips to Prevent Premature Aging


The skin has a function to protect the body from various kinds of interference and outside stimuli. The function of this protection occurs through a number of biological mechanisms, such as the formation of a layer of horn continuously (keratinization and the release of the epidermis cells are already dead), respiration and body temperature regulation, the production of sebum or skin ointment and sweat as well as the formation of melanin pigment to protect the skin from the dangers of ultra violet rays of the sun.
Sebum is the oil content that moisturizes and protects skin against pollution. Sebum or skin ointment ointment is formed by the gland. Insolvent glands located on top of the skin adjacent to the bladder hair hides consist of small bubbles which empties into the bladder hairs (follicles). Removing hair follicles which lubricate the skin and fat to maintain hair softness.
Sebum serves as a defense against the main enemy of female beauty that is aging. Premature aging of the skin often occurs in the dry type, because the levels of sebum in the skin is slightly dry. Usually the condition is characterized by premature aging skin look tired, dry, scaly, rough and accompanied by the appearance of wrinkles and dark stains or spots.

Prevention of free radicals can be done by adjusting the diet, a diet containing high protein and eating foods that contain lots of vitamins such as fruits and vegetables. With good nutrition, cell structure will be improved through the process of aging can be slowed.

Danger Behind the Fruit Juice



Many people consider starting the day with a glass of fruit juice and vegetables is a healthy thing. However, for the health benefits of fruit juice is not as positive as you think. In certain circumstances, a healthful fruit juices also save the danger.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the scientists claim that fruit juices contain too much sugar can actually increase the risk of cancer. Even when processed and packaged, many substances in the fruit that actually serves to protect the body from the tumor but just disappear.
Australian researchers have tried to reveal how effectively the benefits of various fruits, vegetables, and juices to prevent the development of colon cancer.
They examined questionnaires from 2,200 adults related foods they eat everyday. The research team then tracked respondents over 2 years to see the pattern of disease progression.
The result, those who eat fruits and vegetables like apples, sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli will reduce the risk of colon cancer. But surprisingly, those who consumed fruit juice has a higher risk of getting cancer.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that those who drank fruit juice more than three glasses a day are more likely to develop rectal cancer, one form of colon cancer.
The researchers believe that a high sugar content in juice can trigger the development of cancer cells. They also said that many substances are lost when the juice is processed such as fiber, vitamin C, and anti-oxidants. In fact, such substances can prevent the emergence of cancer.
For years, we are advised to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables, including a glass of juice. However, British researchers have claimed that the juice contains too much sugar. Scientists from the University of Bangor, Wales, says that it's better than eating dried fruit juice. In fact, fresh squeezed fruit juice contains five teaspoons of sugar in each glass.
However, other dieticians say that one can not avoid fruit juice entirely because the juice is much healthier than other beverages.
Nell Barrie of Cancer Research UK said, "This is not a major research and do not give us a definitive answer about what fruits and vegetables provide the impact of increased risk of colon cancer."
But certainly from the results of this study is the high-fiber foods may help reduce cancer risk. Perhaps it would be nice if you choose fresh fruit without having squeezed the juice to be consumed so that the fibers contained therein is not lost. (Source: Vivanews.com)

SKIN PROBLEM during pregnancy


No need to worry, Mom. After all, skin problems during pregnancy only mild in nature. Can often disappear on their own even after giving birth
Certainly almost all pregnant women experience skin disorders, whether just itching to brown stripes extending around the abdomen.
According to dr. Hasnah Siregar, Sp.OG skin disorder that occurs during pregnancy can be caused by various factors. "Could be due to hormonal, the stretching of skin due to increased body fat and enlarged, or increased body metabolism," explained the expert in obstetrics and gynecology from RSIA Hermina Jatinegara.
Similar disclosed dr. Erni Bachtiar, Sp.KK from the same hospital, all skin disorders during pregnancy are essentially due to hormonal changes. "Especially the problem of balancing the hormones estrogen and progesterone." Precisely because of these hormonal changes then it may arise pruritus.
(Hives), hyperpigmentation (dark color spots), and sometimes arise fungus in the folds of the body due to enlargement of the body, as in the crease under the breast, stomach, and body folds such as groin and so forth.
Because the cause is more to hormonal problems, then there are women who have problems with her skin and some are not problematic. "So it is highly individualized," said Hasnah.
However, it is clear Hasnah and Erni matching, skin disorders during pregnancy usually occurs in the superficial layer or the epidermis layer of skin. Generally also not too dangerous, both for mother and fetus, it just looks ugly in the skin.
Only drug use should remain cautious. Never could have an impact on the fetus, such as premature birth, miscarriage, stunted growth, or the baby was born dead. Well, whatever the skin complaints that often appear during pregnancy? We follow the following topics:
* Sense of Itching
The most frequently experienced and quite disturbing because the mother became pregnant could not sleep soundly, or can not do the activity well. Moreover, the itching can occur at any gestational age. "It usually begins in the first trimester and often arise in body areas, such as the stomach. But sometimes also spread to the whole body, "said Erni.
Itching during pregnancy is also often appear in women who are talented allergy called urticaria pruritus. "The skin will look like biduran, reddish bump-bump, both small and great," said Hasnah.
Well, itching is more pronounced when carded. "The skin will arise such as watery or pus and smelly. Also when a scratch mark on the entrance wound, the bacteria can cause secondary infections. "That is why, when the itching, you should not have to be scratched because it can arise small wounds. "To overcome this, anti-itch cream basting it," advises Hasnah.
When itching is caused by allergic factors, pregnant women should keep the allergen (trigger factors), for example, shrimp, crab, or other fish species. "You do not have to worry about not going to get their protein intake. After all, food that contains protein not only the foods that trigger the allergy. "Well, can not be consumed protein can be replaced with other foods, such as beef, chicken, or eggs.
* Slight-blackish spots
Hormonal influences also make the skin appear darker or darker than the surrounding color is called hyperpigmentation, which is also known as cholasma gravidarum. The emergence of indeterminate, there is in the early trimester, there is also emerging in the next trimester. "This skin disorder is not too dangerous, really. It's just that the skin looks so ugly. Some disappear by itself after birth. There is also a scar, "said Erni.
Blackish spots most often found in the abdomen in the form of striae nigra (brown lines). After giving birth turns into striae alba (white). "The sign is what can be a trait that the woman had given birth," said Hasnah.
If hyperpigmentation occurs in first pregnancies, while continuing Erni added, "could be the next pregnancy will reappear."
Unfortunately, until now there has been no attempt to prevent hyperpigmentation most efficacious. Well, the hyperpigmentation that persisted, it needs special care after birth; to retain moisture and elasticity so as not to cause severe skin.
* Mushrooms
Weight gain during pregnancy is one factor the onset of candidiasis cutis (skin fungus), it appears reddish, odorless, and discharge, and cause intense itching. This could lead to secondary infections. "Moreover, when conditions are not good mothers, less well nourished, have a great talent allergies, and do not pay attention to hygiene factors, for example, indiscriminate scratching in state hands dirty," said Hasnah.
Hormonal influences also cause skin fungus can flourish. If not treated, then at the time of birth in the birth canal may have mushrooms and baby can become infected.
A fungal skin disorders also arise due to metabolic problems, for example, pregnant women with diabetes. Therefore, the light Hasnah, weight gain should not be too excessive. Thus, the folds on his body did not grow much.
Fungi can grow because of vaginal discharge. Indeed, as long as no smell and cause itching, fair when a woman has vaginal discharge. But, when this liquid discharge pregnant often more so that cause itching. "Well, can result in infection in the outer genital area when scratched," said Erni.
Therefore, the suggestion Erni, mothers should open on the treating doctor to be treated early. "If it can not be more severe complications arise, for example, external genitalia will be broken or lead to malignancy," added Hasnah.
* Acne
Sometimes it disappears during pregnancy. But, it could be even worse. "In women who are gifted as hormonal acne, the acne can appear even worse." Nevertheless, we recommend that acne is not in the "who tinkers". "Just to be more diligent in cleaning the baby's face with soap or cleanser," advises Hasnah.
When to require treatment, medication should be enough from the outside only without oral medication. Let smeared, must be careful though, lo. "Creams containing corticosteroids should not be used in a long time. Although just a little, there remains an intense absorption, "said Erni.
* Herpes
There are different types of herpes that can arise during pregnancy; herpes zoster, herpes simplex I and II. Herpes zoster is a kind of chicken pox, but the attacking limb; only in parts of the body left or right of course. "Symptoms appear the pain and heat in the area of ​​skin that will arise spots of red and watery in large quantities, according to the innervation of the skin. Transmission through the skin of the patient or through the air for talking, for example, "said Erni.
Herpes simplex I attacked the waist up. While Simplex II attacked the waist down, most of the genital area. "Usually because of the sexual relationship. Symptoms are the same as type I, but more often a recurrence. "
* Andeng-andeng
Because of hormonal factors during pregnancy, then existing moles in pregnant women can be aroused and later enlarged.
The enlarged shape with a darker shade can lead to malignancies, such as tumors or melanoma (skin cancer). "Just this skin disorder rarely occurs," said Hasnah.
* Dermatoisitis
Is a skin inflammation that involves the muscle tissue so it is deeper than the outer skin layer. "All the bones and the members of the movement was going to hurt." Usually the manifestations of the skin, visible red, itchy, and there is secondary infection of pus.
Dedeh Kurniasih
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING HEALTH SKIN
During pregnancy the skin of health care should be carried out more than usual because of hormonal problems. The important note include:
* Factor hygienic
Bathing twice a day and lather your body properly. In addition, because the mother is often sweating, should not be lazy to change clothes. Mothers should also consume lots of water to replace perspiration and body moisture to stay awake.
* Recipes doctor
Immediately to the doctor when experiencing vaginal discharge smelly and itchy, so as not to spread or expand. Use the-counter skin cream is fine, as long as it does not contain cortisone.
Every now and then is okay to clean the vaginal area with warm water betel. "Because water betel leaves more to clean from germs, not to treat the disease," explains dr. Hasnah Siregar, Sp.OG.
* Provision of vitamin skin
No need, really. Vitamins will be beneficial when administered appropriately, for example, vitamin E given to mothers that are difficult to eat vegetables or fish.
* Eat vegetables and fruits
Vegetables and fruits are very good for skin elasticity. Expand also consume fruits that contain vitamins A and C.
* Clean the area folds
Do not be shy and lazy to always clean the pubic area, also in folds like the armpits, under breasts, and behind the ears. This area should be cleaned and scrubbed with a right.
* Do not go straight to bed
Get used to clean the vagina after having sex with their husbands.
* Get enough sleep
The skin also needs a break. Thus, preferably before bed, facial skin should be cleaned from the remnants of cosmetics. Avoid the use of cosmetics that contain ingredients of silver and lead. These substances can affect not good for the fetus.
BEST TREATMENT
If a skin disorder that arises until there is an infection or complications, then the treatment will be difficult. Should be handled by a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology as well as a dermatologist.
Use of drugs can be a skin disease tablets, compress liquid, cream, or ointment. What is clear, is not advised to use medicines that contain cortisone, prednisone, and steroid kortiko. "Because it can interfere with fetal development and cause birth defects in babies," explains dr. Hasnah Siregar, Sp.OG.
Handling skin disorders during pregnancy is the same as not pregnant, that is with topical or external medications and if necessary with oral medication. "Yet to be seen taking drugs, whether contrary to the age of her pregnancy or not? Therefore, there are certain drugs that should never be given in the first trimester or drugs should not be granted for a period of time. "When you continue to use drugs, then the mother should continue to be under the supervision of a dermatologist and gynecologist. "
The duration of treatment of skin, this depends on the type of illness. "If a new skin disorder arises, it is usually quite treatable with topical medication alone," said dr. Erni Bachtiar, Sp.KK

5 Things Important When Learning to Walk Infants


1. CREATE SECURE ENVIRONMENT
When the baby starts learning to walk hobbled usually in addition to feeling happy, the parents started "gymnastics heart". How not? Now the baby starts to recognize the wider world with a "crawl" to every corner of the house. Maybe when added up every day knows how twelve yards distance.
These new skills can make the baby move from one place to another. Although limited in the house, "exploration" is inviting an accident-prone situation. For example, what if all of a sudden with a pace that is still giddy child wandering into the bathroom, the floor was slippery, or suddenly crashed into a large jar in the corner that could injure himself or if the floor of the house there are stairs, can-can baby falling due to uneven floors.
In the event of an accident due to his exploration of course babies can not be blamed. He did not know what objects are and where places are dangerous or not.

Thus, it is a quasi-parental duty to minimize risk by not putting all the items that invites danger in the path that will pass the baby. Also, make sure all the security area "sterile" for babies, especially kitchen and bathroom because in both places there are many things that can cause accidents in infants.
Furthermore, the upstairs area, kitchen, and into the bathroom, the door should be equipped with a safety railing. The power cord is not neat too often the culprit tersandungnya child who was "fun" run. Not to mention the possibility of electric shock if the cable is already peeling. Therefore, set the tangle of wires well so do not tick the swimmer.
Usually babies who are able to stand and walk attracted to whatever is on the table. No wonder that in a moment and then he will pull anything that caught his attention earlier. To minimize the risk of hazard, temporarily remove the tablecloth. If want to use a tablecloth, choose a size smaller than the leaf to the table so no menjumbai on the side of the table.
Furniture, especially the sharp angular table, should also be removed for a while or get around by installing a safety angle. You see, babies are learning to walk very risky hit a sharp corner of the table.
Keep in mind, creating a safe environment by limiting the space exploration is not a baby. Required parental supervision once the baby is an area that can make it freely walk over there and here.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHOES
Shoes serve to protect the baby's feet from the particles and objects that could hurt him. Outside the home environment, you should put the shoe that can support the baby's ability to walk.
Choose a flat-soled shoes and walk softly to ease the child while still getting enough stimulation from below. Avoid shoes with a booster at the curve of the foot because it would interfere with the growth of bones. Also avoid the pointy toe / narrow which makes the space stunted fingers.Make sure the baby shoes size fitting, not tight and not too loose. Its standards, exaggerating slightly (about one segment of an adult thumb) at the end of the shoe. Choose a model with straps / buttons / adhesive that can be set appropriately toned shoes. Socks to be used is also not advisable too tight because it can interfere with blood circulation. Choose a cotton material that easily absorbs perspiration and helps keep the air circulation inside the shoe.
When walking in the house, babies do not need to be barefoot. Without shoes, the baby's feet will receive the stimuli from the outside. His legs will also be under pressure from below as an exercise for the muscles. This can hone their coordination skills to be better. Thanks to the pressures on the surface of the sole of the foot, leg bone growth for the better. Furthermore, will form a good foot with muscles stronger. Barefoot exercises like this is needed at home considering bone growth will continue until the child is aged 17-18 years.
To ensure the health and comfort of his feet, check your shoe size periodically given the very rapid growth of the baby's feet, especially when supported by good nutrition. Shoes that are too small will surely make him comfortable. Shoes too small will leave redness at the edge of the baby's fingers or toes due to pressure and can cause irritation.
3. Grow CONFIDENCE
In principle, as long as there is certainly no neurological or muscle disorders, the child must be able to walk. Indeed, hell, life goes on every child can vary, but generally normal time range is 11-18 months of age.
Anxiety generally arise if, after the age of 1 year, your child still can not walk. Or usually was able to walk for a while, but after that strike. To ensure there is least disturbance, would be sent to the doctor. If there is no interference, perhaps he needs stimulation in order to run on time.
Children who learn to strike the road may be lulled by the comforting familiarity of a parent or caregiver. For example, too often carried so that the child did not receive active stimulation to move. Such indulgence can indeed inhibit the development of the ability of the passage.
Unfortunately, parents often do not realize that they bestow indulgence. For example, because too dear, worried parents see their children bewildered. Children have not had time to go, parents are directly helping hand. If all the needs and conveniences already in sight, do not blame if your child so reluctant to learn to walk.The reluctance of walking exercise can also be due to a lack of confidence. Perhaps when first learning to walk, he fell hard enough. Both children and parents are usually so wary to try and try again. Though fear of excess like this should be erased. Gradually parents must reassure them that everything will be fine. Indicate with concrete evidence, such as by continuing with her practice and provide a secure environment.
So the children would walk again, it takes a stimulus that can foster a sense of confidence. Fishing line with the spirit of a child without having to force the happy attitude. Use a pull toy that children will come to him. Put slightly upward so that he need to stand up to reach them. That way, little by little, the child was moved to dare try to walk alone, without ditatih or holding. Even if not drop, do not show the attitude of panic in front of him. Note whether he should be helped right away or be allowed to pick ourselves up. The attitude of panicky parents / caregivers will only make her confidence faded.
4. Strengthen Muscles Foot Massage
During learning to walk, children rely on his leg muscles to maintain balance. With the recommendation pediatricians, parents can do baby massage aimed at strengthening the muscles of his legs. For example, with my back the way he holds the baby and then ask her feet as she pushed a little. Reflexively children will perform movements such as kicking. Intense exercise and proper proved able to strengthen his leg muscles.
Ask your doctor, what massage techniques that can strengthen your leg muscles. Bringing a child into a traditional masseuse is okay as long as it done with caution. It would be better if you are armed with a doctor's recommendation and then bring the baby to a physiotherapist. Learn the techniques correctly. To be sure, massage is done physiotherapist usually based science that can be accounted for.
5. WATCH THE BODY WEIGHT
Often too lazy to learn the way children occur due to obesity. For babies with excess body weight, body balance is clearly more difficult. Strive to balance food intake, not excessive and no less. In addition, the physiotherapist can help the baby with the right program. For example, by pushing a huge ball of techniques commonly used for motor exercises.
ROAD LEARNING TOOL
Several tools were created to help children learn road. The principle that should not be absent from these tools is the baby still needs ditatih and menatih. That way, every time the baby kicked to the ground, the leg muscles will be more active and increasingly honed capability goes.
Our ancestors used to use the cloth that wrapped around the baby's chest to the armpit. The remaining cloth that hung to the back of the parents used to help control the balance of the baby's body while menatihnya. How to stay safe is imitated to this day.
There is also a tool that relies on a single rotating shaft. By holding on to the transverse bar, indirectly, a child is required to run when pushing the tool. Or it could also provide hangbar like the one in therapy centers. In essence, there is a solid object which is used to hold when equilibrium is still unstable.
A walker can also be used as a toy, including a stroller. Make sure the toy holder is pretty stable so that when children are resting him, these tools are not easily overturned. Principally because the baby was like menatih "forced" to step to the stroller can move.
Which is not recommended because the use of this tool babywalker can actually slow down the ability to walk the little guy. The sitting position in babywalker make babies almost always propped up so he is not trained enough to sustain itself. In addition, the use of excessive babywalker can also result in child road tiptoe / tiptoe due to get used to moving forward in a way paddling.

Fat women become due after Childbirth Parenting Stress in Children First


Excess weight after pregnancy is probably caused by a new parenting stress on physical activity, the researchers said Georgia Health Sciences University.


In a study on 60 mothers who first gave birth, the researchers connect the body mass index (BMI) after pregnancy - the ratio between weight and height - with the combination of BMI before pregnancy, excess weight during pregnancy, parenting stress, and sedentary lifestyle, according to a study published in the journal Women & Health. The study measured parenting stress by asking participants to give ratings on statements like "I feel short of time with myself" and "I enjoy being a parent." They were also asked to recall their physical activity in 24 hours earlier, categorizing activities from mild to severe .
"Sedentary lifestyle, or low physical activity, most influenced by the type of parenting stress reported by mothers," said Dr.. Deborah Young-Hyman, behavioral psychologist from Georgia Prevention Institute. "More parenting stress, particularly depression, are associated with physical inactivity and high BMI postpartum."
Interestingly, social interaction, generally regarded as a measure of welfare, is correlated with body mass index is higher, he said. "We think the women to socialize with friends, do not isolate themselves, but they are doing sedentary things like talking on the telephone, watching television or assembled at home, instead of carrying her baby to walk together."
"The bottom line is the stress does affect the style of postpartum care for new mothers," he said. Based on tracking how new mothers adjust to caregiving, the researchers develop interventions to help new moms create a healthy lifestyle for herself and her baby - prevent excess weight in the mother and child
