Drinking Coffee: Another Method to Treat Asthma?
Tuesday, August 13, 2013
Asthma is a respiratory condition that is narrowed because of hyperactivity to certain stimuli, which cause inflammation; constriction is temporary. In patients with asthma, airway constriction in response to stimuli that in normal lungs will not affect the respiratory tract. This narrowing can be triggered by various stimuli, such as pollen, dust, animal dander, smoke, cold air and exercise. But asthma can also occur in some people without specific allergies. The same reaction occurs when the person is exercising or being in cold weather. Stress and anxiety can also trigger the release of histamine and leukotrienes. The frequency and severity of asthma attacks varies. Some people more often free of symptoms and only experience shortness of breath attacks are short and mild, which happens from time to time. Other patients almost always have cough and wheezing (asthma) and had a great attack after suffering from a viral infection, exercise or after exposure to allergens or irritants. Crying or laughing hard can also cause the onset of symptoms. At the very severe attack, the patient became difficult to talk because of crowded very great. Confusion, lethargy (decreased consciousness state, where people like to sleep soundly, but can be aroused briefly and then promptly fell asleep again) and cyanosis (bluish skin looks) is a sign that the oxygen supply is limited and patients need immediate treatment. Although he has suffered severe attacks, the patient will usually recover completely.
In all types of asthma medication in the offer; beta-adrenergic receptor agonists (eg, albuterol, theophylline), we will see side effects that almost certainly we receive, walaubagaimanapun relative asthma can not be cured in the view of many doctors. This will result in patients using these drugs continuously. If you look at how these drugs work, all lead to a drug that works on all the beta-adrenergic receptors (eg adrenaline), or that it only works on beta2-adrenergic receptors (which are mainly found in the cells in the lungs) that widening of the airways by stimulating beta-adrenergic receptors.
This fact reminds me of coffee. Drinks which I think has the same behavior with asthma medications that I normally drink. I remember once when I wanted to sleep soundly like'm in to make coffee without cream / milk or energy drinks FitUp. Once in the second to remember this drink contains the same there is caffeine. Armed with that experience, last night I tried to stop my asthma medication that usually affects only 4-6 hours of it. Then I try to drink a cup of coffee, and the result is "HUP, DID IT!" shortness of breath that have been disturbing for days is gone! But it is still there as the air pressure in the chest cavity, and then I try to drink a cup of coffee again and tightness in the chest that is also missing! This experience shows that in fact the coffee is very effective to cure my breathlessness.
My experiment is certainly dangerous experiments are not so alone I recommend to people with other breathing difficulties. But it turns out opinions / experiment I also know that there is support and real doctor (not a doctor / researcher rich karbitan me hehehe). Dr. Menaldi Rasmin Sp P (K), and chairman pulmonologis continuing medical education-Faculty of medicine, the efficacy of caffeine can relax the muscle tone and strengthen the work of breathing which helps the lungs. Meanwhile, according to Marshall Plaut, MD, chair of the Division of Allergy at the Natonal Institute of Allergy and Infection Disease, the caffeine in a cup of coffee can act to defuse tensions in branching trachea (bronchi). However, despite having the benefit of breathing.

Back Pain During Pregnancy
Discomfort is usually experienced by pregnant women is back pain. One source states that back pain experienced by one of two pregnant women. The possibility of a pregnant women experience back pain greater if it had never had back pain before pregnancy, a history of low back pain in a previous pregnancy, old age and pregnant women often labor.
Complaints of back pain can be felt during pregnancy, but it is more common since the middle of pregnancy, often the complaints persist and interfere until the time of delivery. Back pain can occur due to a combination of several factors, such as mechanical factors, metabolic, circulatory, and psychosocial. Effect of mechanical factors such as the changing center of gravity of the body, changes in gait and pregnant women sleeping position.
In one third of pregnant women who started having back pain since the first trimester of pregnancy, pain arises due to changes in hormonal processes. Hormonal changes during pregnancy cause changes in the structure of the network supporting the uterus, triggering the onset of pain. In addition, pregnant women experience back pain found that relaxin hormone levels higher. This confirms the influence of a hormone associated with complaints of back pain.
During pregnancy, spine changed, as if into more lordosis (butt bone tends to stand). This factor along with the muscles and ligaments as well as changes in blood flow in the pelvic area have a role in causing back pain. Complaints of back pain can be reduced by avoiding excessive weight, exercises to strengthen the back muscles, improve posture and wearing shoes or footwear that is comfortable (do not use high heels). Treatment options for reducing pain, ranging from the use of the belt for pelvic support, specific exercises, rest, medication, to massage.
To obtain good posture, note the following:

To obtain good posture, note the following:
- Use a booster cushion in the lower back area when sitting
- Pull shoulders back slightly
- The position of the head slightly back so that the ear is a field with a shoulder
Break by lying and doing exercises appear to provide benefits that are very fast, 65% of pregnant women feel an improvement just by doing bed rest and specific exercises. 40% of pregnant women even feel an improvement simply by resting bed rest. Half of pregnant women reduced the complaint states disappear even after using a belt to support the pelvis. Surely you should see a doctor if you experience back pain to find the cause, the doctor will also help choose a form of therapy that suits your condition.

Tempe Reduce Risk of Heart Disease
Menopause is a natural process in women is characterized by decreased ovarian function resulting in decreased production of estrogen. Reduced estrogen leads to various problems, one of which increase the risk of heart disease. The decline in estrogen production causes disruption of blood fat metabolism so it will aggravate the blood lipid profile and oxidation in the body so vulnerable women suffering from coronary heart disease. The linkage is what encourages Diah Mulyawati Utari research doctoral studies in Human Nutrition Program, Graduate School (SPs), Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) and brought the benefits of tempeh for menopausal women.
Easily oxidized lipids in the body, resulting in the formation of lipid peroxidation characterized by increased malondialdehyde (MDA). High levels of MDA can be used as an indicator of free radicals in the body. Excess free radicals are risk factors for degenerative diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Lipid particularly in LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), known as the bad cholesterol is the primary target of oxidation.
The occurrence of the K-LDL oxidation is one of the main factors of blood vessel blockage. To prevent this required the presence of antioxidants, one of which is the endogenous antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) which is the first defense against the oxidation process in the body. He said, in the last 10-12 years, research on the benefits of soy protein and isoflavones increased and depth, and proved that soy consumption not only improve some aspects of health in postmenopausal women, but also improve heart health.
The process of fermentation, so the levels of amino acids, fatty acids, and isoflavones in soybean is much higher than soybeans. Research has been conducted in the city of Bogor (Indonesia) with a total sample of 53 postmenopausal women. The menopausal women are given 160 grams of tempeh every day for four weeks. The amount is equivalent to four slices of tempeh size. Tempe is steamed for 10 minutes and then mixed with certain herbs so be ready to eat foods.
The criteria for the sample in this study were women who experienced menopause, menopause span of 1-5 years, one of the abnormal lipid profiles, not being sick or had a history of degenerative disease, not taking drugs and supplements, do not use estrogen therapy, instead of vegetarianism , and willing to comply with the study. Samples were captured via integrated active coaching post in the city of Bogor.
Analysis shows that food tempe highest amino acid content in tempeh is the highest fatty acid arginine and is linoleic acid. Tempe is also rich in isoflavones and relative levels can be maintained if the tempeh mixed with steaming (not frying).
Statistical test results showed that administration of 160 grams tempeh every day for four weeks can improve lipid profiles in decreased levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides. tempeh may also increase the activity of the antioxidant enzymes SOD and MDA and decrease LDL oxidation. The results of this study indicate that significantly tempeh has the ability to reduce risk factors for coronary heart disease.
Public advised to increase consumption of tempeh every day on an ongoing basis, particularly in menopausal women as well as other groups who have a high risk of coronary heart disease. And to get the maximum effect for health, tempeh should be processed by steaming and frying by avoiding processing.

Binatang Lalat Bagi Kehidupan Manusia
Monday, February 18, 2013
Binatang Lalat bermanfaat bagi dunia kesehatan, yaitu untuk terapi penyakit menggunakan larva dari lalat yang biasa disebut dengan "Maggot Therapy". Maggot Therapy atau yang biasa disebut dengan larva therapy adalah salah satu cara pengobatan alternatif untuk mengobati luka borok atau korengan yang menahun. Bagaimana cara kerja sehingga larva lalat ini bisa dijadikan bahan untuk therapy? Ketika larva tersebut sibuk menggerogoti luka ia juga sekaligus beraksi untuk membersihkan kulit mati dan daerah-daerah yang terinfeksi, membunuh bakteri yang ada dan merangsang penyembuhan atau penutupan luka.
Sekelompok peneliti dari Universitas Alicante Spanyol, mengadakan penelitian yang membuktikan larva lalat dapat mengurai tinja atau kotoran dari hewan dan Manusia. Artinya larva dari lalat ini dapat dimanfaatkan mengurangi jumlah limbah biologis dimuka bumi ini. Lalat juga dapat mengurai jasad yang telah mati sehingga mudah menyatu dengan tanah.
Larva lalat dapat dijadikan sumber pangan alternatif. Jenis larva lalat yang bisa dijadikan sumber pangan alternatif adalah dari jenis lalat tentara yang besar. Larva dari lalat tentara ini mengandung protein mencapai 50 % dan lemak sebesar 25 % dari keseluruhan tubuhnya. Larva dari lalat tentara ini sering dijadikan sebagai pakan untuk ikan.
Lalat memiliki gen yang bernama gen "refilin" yang memiliki dua fungsi yaitu:
- Fungsi untuk Industri: Gen refilin ini dapat dimanfaatkan oleh industri sebagai pengganti karet yang biasa didapatkan dari getah karet atau yang lain. Gen ini lebih kuat dan memiliki daya elastisitas yang lebih tinggi dari semua jenis karet yang ada didunia, gen ini memiliki daya dorong dan daya tekan yang sangat kuat. Fungsi yang luar biasa ini ada pada seekor lalat yang dapat menggetarkan sayapnya sampai 1000 kali dalam setiap detiknya.
- Fungsi Untuk Kesehatan: Gen refilin adalah salah satu gen yang dapat dimanfaatkan pada dunia kesehatan karena dapat mengobati penyakit-penyakit yang pada syaraf-syaraf Arteri dan syaraf-syaraf Meina. Pada syaraf arteri yang banyak terjadi penyumbatan, gen-gen refilin yang ada pada sayap seekor lalat dapat mengobati penyumbatan tersebut.
Manfaat Cacing Tanah Untuk Kesehatan
Diantara lebih dari 1800 jenis cacing tanah yang ada didunia dan telah dikenal oleh para ilmuan, diantaranya ada dua jenis cacing tanah yang biasa dipakai dalam budidaya cacing tanah dan proses pembuatan pupuk organik, yaitu jenis cacing Lumbricus Rubellus dan Eisenia Fetida (cacing tiger). Cacing tanah jenis Lumbricus Rubellus adalah hewan yang tergolong dalam hewan avetebrata (tidak bertulang belakang) yang hidup ditanah yang gembur dan lembab. cacing ini masuk dalam gologan cacing epigeic. kedua jenis cacing ini sangat mudah untuk dikembangbiakkan diantara jenis cacing lainnya.
Beberapa penelitian telah membuktikan adanya khasiat anti bakteri dari protein yang dihasilkan dari ekstraksi cacing tanah yang dapat menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri gram negatif Escherichia Coli, Shigella Dysenterica, Staphilococcus Aureus, dan Salmonella Thyp. Dari berbagai sumber para ahli dan pakar peneliti cacing tanah berkomentar bahwa ada banyak sekali manfaat dan khasiat dari cacing tanah ini, diantara untuk menyembuhkan beberapa penyakit diantaranya adalah:
