Floods in Australia Make Coal Price Rise

2011-01-14T09:26:00.000-08:00

JAKARTA - One of the causes of soaring coal prices rose in the international market was flooding that struck the area some time ago in Australia. Known, Australia is one of the largest coal exporter to Indonesia. "The problem now, the price of coal. There was flooding in Australia. To recover within two years alone can not. So that soaring coal prices can not be predicted," said Senior Advisor Communications Minister Ilyas Saad, during a press conference at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, in Jakarta on Friday (14/01/2011). Furthermore, associated with the implementation of Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) is a step taken in the supply of coal. This is already done, so that distribution is also clear where it came from. So we can be sure if the price of coal going up is not included within the scope of the DMO. Coal prices continue to soar into their own fears for the red plate company PLN. Because PLN as a user of coal as a power supply. In fact in mind, Indonesia is also one producer of coal. Thus, the government, especially Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources is expected if the coal producer or a businessman in Indonesia could be dedicated to domestic interests in an effort to ward off the price of coal continued to soar. "Employers of our coal should be dedicated to domestic interests," he said. (ade) Yuni Astutik - Okezone

Overtime, False One Triggers Heart Disease

2011-01-06T10:39:00.000-08:00

LONDON - Overtime may already be a culture among the workers a big city. But, be careful. Because the habit of working overtime can increase the risk of heart disease. A study from the European Heart Journal claiming that the people who work at least three hours longer each day have an increased risk of heart disease 60 percent higher than those who work in normal time. These findings obtained through exhaustive research on the 6014 British civil servants, aged 39-61, of which two thirds are male, who has a heart-healthy conditions in the early 1990s. Entering the 11th year study, 369 subjects known to have died due to heart failure or had experienced non-fatal heart attack, according to the Straits Times reported on Thursday (01/06/2011). After accounting for factors such as smoking, being overweight and high cholesterol levels, doctors found that working three and four hours longer has a 60 percent higher risk than those who do not work overtime. Those who work overtime is usually a little younger than the group that did not work overtime. The group also dominated by male workers overtime and have a higher position. According to the researchers, the relationship between heart disease and working overtime it seems pretty clear. However, not so with the cause, considering the complexity of heart disease as well as relations in the workplace. For example, working overtime can affect metabolism or cover the condition of depression, anxiety, and lack of sleep. There is also a phenomenon in which the overtime employees may ignore symptoms of the disease and continue working. However, it should be noted, employees who love their jobs and have more freedom in making decisions in the workplace, usually work longer due to personal pleasure. For this group, the risk of heart failure was lower. "It needs more research before we can declare with certainty that the overtime can lead to heart disease," said Marianna Virtanen, an epidemiologist at the University of Finland and University College London.

The estimate is based on the high demand for energy will still be sourced from China. Chinese economy is predicted to grow nine percent in 2011. China's economic growth was three times higher than expected U.S. economic growth, six times higher than expected economic growth in the European Union. Bernstein analyst also predicted OPEC will increase production in line with expectations of rising prices and will reduce the spare capacity (unused capacity) so that the increase somewhat restrained. Moreover, this price hike could backfire global economy that is undergoing restoration, so the increase will be captured. (WDI) Widi Agustian - Okezone

Smokers, Please Enjoy your last Moments

2011-01-02T06:54:00.000-08:00

MADRID - The Spanish will menghabisakan smokers in the final moments for a few hours ahead. These are the moments where they could still smoke cigarettes in public spaces legally. After that, there will be new legislation on banning smoking in public places starting today. The law was established thanks to the encouragement of anti-smoking activists in Spain. Starting January 2 this, in accordance with this new law, smoking will be considered illegal and unlawful acts, if done in a bar or tavern, restaurant and cafe. This policy is actually not the first in Spain. State matador has also previously have laws that prohibit smoking in workplaces, public transport and shops. Even so, the application of the law in Spain is still less optimal than applying the same rules in a number of other European countries. Application of the previous law still depends on the owners of bars, restaurants and cafes. The decision whether to ban smoking or not in these places entirely left to the manager of a place of business. As a result, on the basis of business considerations, most managers will still allow customers to smoke at will. But with the implementation of this new law, means Spain will be one of the hardest countries in Europe in enforcing the smoking ban. As is known, previously known to have a culture of this country gathered at the cafe for a drink as he smoked a cigar. It has been regarded as a human right for them. This new law established seven years after Ireland became the first European country which issued a law banning smoking in public spaces. Irish courage to apply this rule creates a domino effect throughout the continent, where the smoking ban applies in many bars and cafes. For Calderon Esteban Torres (59) which has long been a connoisseur of cigarettes and drinks at the bar, the new rule was meresahkannya. "This is really stupid. The true solution should be sufficient to prohibit the children came into the cafe or bar," he said as reported by AFP on Sunday (02/01/2011). (FMH) Baskoro Pramadani - Okezone

2010-12-30T07:36:00.000-08:00

JAKARTA - Kejaksaan Agung pernah menolak permintaan Yusril Ihza Mahendra untuk menghadirkan empat mantan dan pejabat negara sebagai saksi terkait kasus sistem administrasi badan hukum (Sisminbakum). Namun, kemarin, Kejagung mengamini permintaan mantan Menteri Kehakiman dan HAM itu.

Nanny, Au Pair, Daycare and Family Childcare Choices

2010-12-26T11:26:00.000-08:00

Obtaining affordable childcare that is of high quality is a growing concern for parents nationwide. Childcare options are a major concern for single parents – men and women alike, combined with escalating costs affords parents fewer and fewer options. There are nearly 25 million children under six in the US of which approximately 15 million are in need of childcare due to working parents. Also, due to an increase in homes in which both parents work, the child care industry is one of the fastest growing in the US. This article takes a look at the more popular forms of daycare in the US including daycare, family childcare, nannies and au pairs. Daycare (center based) Daycare centers are typically the first thing that goes through a parent’s mind that are in need of childcare. For single child households, this can be a good choice. For families with two or more children or families with special needs, there are generally more cost effective options available. A good friend that is a single parent dad with a single child states he utilized daycare for several years. But admittedly, was not educated as to the other forms of childcare that were available at the time. He would have given serious consideration to other forms had he known they were available. Daycare cost can vary wildly depending upon where you are located. The costs can range from $154 per month in Seattle to $2,200 per month in Acton, MA. The median cost for daycare per month tends to be in the $610 range per month. This means a family with three children will pay an average cost of over $1,800 per month in childcare alone. (Despite the number of cons listed, do not let this stop you from placing your child in a good daycare.) Pros * Generally cost effective option for single child families. * More socialization opportunities for your children. * Reliable care – even if your child’s primary worker is sick, a daycare center typically has someone that can fill in. * Most daycare centers are open from 10 – 12 hours per day, which is sufficient for many, but not all parents. Cons * Nutritious meals are a challenge for most daycare centers. * Children tend to get sick much more often at a daycare due to exposure to many more children that may be sick. * Having a sick child means that you must have an alternate form of childcare. * Learning inappropriate things from other kids is a typical problem at daycare. * Lack of individualized care for your child. * Lack of flexible hours. Day care facilities have rigid hours for opening and closing which may be problematic for many parents (especially single parents). * Infant childcare tends to be expensive and often have a long waiting list – several that we know of have waiting list as long as three or more years – talk about planning ahead!) * Most States do not regulate childcare providers between the ages of 2 – 5, while minimal training is required in a few States. * The turnover of childcare workers is extremely high due to job stress, low pay and lack of benefits. * The educational background of many daycare workers tends to be quite low with 45 percent of all childcare workers have a high school degree or less. Home Provider (Family childcare providers) Home providers of daycares are almost twice as large in the US compared to daycare centers. There are 119,174 center based day care centers in the US compared to 238,103 family childcare homes in the US. A family provider is a caregiver that provides child care options in their home or in a home like setting, but it is not in your home. They typically care for small groups of children where the children can be of mixed ages. There is no set rule, but a family childcare provider typically cares for between 6 – 10 children of varying ages. A family childcare provider follow most of the same pro’s and con’s as a daycare center, with some exceptions. Pros * Setting is less formal than a center-based daycare with there being in general fewer children than in a formal daycare. * Tends to be more affordable than center-based daycare * Generally more flexible pickup times * Can be easier to arrange for infant childcare than in center-based daycare. Cons * Less regulated than center-based daycare (and daycare regulation tends to be minimal in most States). * Most states do not regulate home-based care. * Most family providers don’t have any formal training in childcare (though many are parents). * Lack of backup childcare for times when the primary provider is sick or unavailable. * Home safety enforcement among family childcare providers tends to be quite lax. Nanny A nanny is an in-home provider that is either live-in or live-out. A nanny tends to be on the more expensive side of in-home childcare. A nanny’s salary can range from $350 - $1,200 per week depending on experience. They can also receive room and board, health insurance, and paid time off of 5 to 15 days consisting of some combination of vacation and sick time off. Additional perks may include cell phone, gym fees and mileage reimbursement for transporting the kids. A live-in nanny may seem to become part of an extended family, but from a tax liability standpoint – this is far from being the case. A nanny is considered a domestic employee and therefore must have taxes withheld (State and Federal) as well as Social Security, Federal unemployment tax and Medicare. Hiring a nanny is not just “similar to hiring an employee” – you are hiring an employee and with that comes the obligation to withhold taxes. Pros * A nanny’s hours tends to be flexible – especially if they are live-in. * A nanny provides much more personalized care for your children compared to daycare. * A nanny can remain with a family for many years thus providing for consistent care as opposed to the high turnover that is likely to be experience in a day care or the two-year restriction that comes with the au pair profession. * A nanny is typically dedicated to one family. * Very convenient for parents that work long or unpredictable hours (such as a nurse, fire fighter or policeman) Cons * Having a nanny is among the most expensive childcare options. * Having a nanny affords limited socialization opportunities with other children. * Background checks are not mandatory for being a nanny. * A nanny does not have to complete any verified training such as CPR or first aid. This may be critical when it comes to dealing with children with special needs. * Having a nanny requires you to calculate and pay payroll taxes. * Live out nannies receive overtime after 40 hours worked per week. In some states the overtime requirement applies to live-in nannies as well. * A nanny works in an un-supervised manner with no manager to advise or guide her with issues that she may encounter throughout her employment. * Having a nanny means that you must find alternate childcare when the nanny is sick or out on paid time off. * A nanny may charge per child, therefore the rates for more than one child are usually higher than the rates for one child. Part-time Nanny A part time nanny is generally the same as having a full-time nanny. The differences are: * Part-time nannies command a greater rate ($12 - $25 per hour) * A part-time nanny typically has a minimum number of hours guaranteed per week, whether they are worked or not. * A part-time nanny is almost always live-out. Au Pair The US Au pair program is regulated by the US State Department. There are twelve agencies currently legally authorized to place an au pair in homes in the US – the firm that you are dealing with must either be one of these firms or affiliated with one of these firms. Because the weekly stipend paid to the au pair is regulated by the State Department, there really shouldn’t be much variance in cost on a weekly basis in this regards. There may, however, be a big difference when you factor in the program costs that the respective agencies charge. Typically, there will be up front program fees that will have to be paid regardless of which agency you go with. This program fee may be part of the overall weekly fee that is paid to the agency. These fees cover things such as administrative costs, health insurance, travel insurance and other miscellaneous fees. After these fees are considered, the typical au pair agency does not make that much of a profit. The US au pair program places typically young women between the ages of 18 – 26 that are from foreign countries, in US homes to care for children for between one and two years. (The second year is an extension year that is usually approved by the State Department.) The au pair provides up to 45 hours per week of childcare for $195.75 per week. The au pair must be given 1 ½ days off per week and one full weekend per month. They also must be provided with two weeks paid vacation and $500 toward the cost of 6 educational credits for their first year of service. Having an au pair really makes sense under the following scenarios: * More than one child (or twins). * Pre-school age children * Children under six * Single working parent * Households with two working parents. Pros * Au pairs are not considered as employees, but as an extension to the family. There is no employer/employee relationship so there is no need to worry about payroll taxes. * Many au pairs are skilled in taking care of children with special needs. (Be sure to verify that your potential au pair is aware of the special needs.) * An au pair can assist with light housekeeping chores. * Having an au pair can be a very cost effective option compared to a nanny. Cons * Due to US State Department regulations an au pair can only be with a family a maximum of two years. This can be quite disruptive for families seeking to establish continuity in care for their children. * Because au pairs tend to be quite young, many times they may have conflicts with their personal desires, for example not wanting to work weekends. * Au pairs tend to get homesick perhaps due to their young age.

How to Choose a Diabetes Doctor

2010-12-26T11:22:00.000-08:00

Diabetes is a disease that is exploding in the United States. There are now 26 million people who have the disease. In addition, about 1 out of 3 children alive today will develop diabetes during their lifetime. With this explosion of diabetes it is becoming more important to find a diabetic doctor who can provide the best care and help one avoid the many possible serious complications of the disease. Diabetes directly damages many different tissues in the body. The eyes are at risk of damage to the small blood vessels in the back of the eye. This can lead to blindness. The kidneys become damaged. Without proper kidney function, one can need to be on dialysis. Diabetic nerve damage can impair the ability to notice an open sore or infection. This can lead to a leg amputation. Heart disease is also a major killer among diabetics. We know that if you compare two people who are identical, except one of them has diabetes, the person who has diabetes is four times more likely to have a heart attack. Essentially all of these problems stemming from diabetes are preventable. However in order to prevent them, one must have early treatment and evaluation by a highly qualified diabetes doctor. In this article we will attempt to help you choose a great diabetes doctor. When anyone goes to the doctor these days, it seems like the doctor is in a rush. It isn?t that doctors don't care about your problems. The reason for this is the way Medicare pays doctors makes it extremely difficult for doctors to spend as much time as they might need in order for you to understand your condition. Some doctors today will see upwards of sixty patients in the office every day. When a doctor tries to see this many patients he simply cannot spend more than a couple of minutes with each patient. That leaves the bulk of the care and explanations with an assistant or nurse. This person may or may not fully understand the implications be able to describe them to you in such a way that will help you the most. So, how do you find a diabetic expert to serve as your doctor? The answer is simple. Look for a diabetes doctor who is an expert and who emphasizes patient education. The type of doctor who has the most specialized training about diabetes is an endocrinologist. They have the most expertise about the ways that organs work together. And the way your organs work together is critical when you have diabetes. Today most doctors that emphasize education have a website. Websites can give you clues about the experience you will have with the doctor. The doctor?s website should not look like a yellow-page ad. The website should function primarily to provide loads of helpful information geared toward patient education. If you don't seem to be able to find enough helpful information on the doctor's website, then you might not get a lot of helpful information when you speaking with the doctor in the office either. If you believ you have found a great diabetes doctor, don't rush to make an appointment. You should first call the office and ask a number of questions. First, ask how many patients the doctor sees. This should give you an idea of how much time the doctor will spend with you. If you have a lot of questions, or very little understanding of your diabetes, you must find a doctor that will spend time with explanations. Otherwise, you might wind up on dialysis or suffering from a below the knee amputation. Make sure that you see a doctor who limits his practice to 20 or 30 patient per day. Ask whether or not the doctor did any advanced traing after medical school such as a or fellowship or residency specific to diabetes. By asking this question, you will find out whether or not, he is a specialist. You don?t want to be treated for diabetes by someone who treats all kind of different illnesses. Get someone who truly enjoys managing diabetes. You want to an expert. You don't want a jack-of-all-trades. Ask if the doctor has done any research or published articles related to diabetes? A doctor who does clinical research is likely to stay on the leading edge of advances in diabetes treatments. Such a person typically enjoys writing articles and sharing what they find with others. In general doctors who write articles are likely to be willing to spend more time with you in explaining your condition. Knowledge is power. The more you learn, the better equipped you will be to manage your diabetes. Find out of the doctor will he perform a diabetic foot exam? This often separates the good docs from the great ones. Don?t expect your endocrinologist to be a foot expert. However, a diabetes expert will recognize the importance of making sure that you don't develop a foot problem that leads to a diabetic foot or leg amputation. If the office staff tells you that this doctor never examines feet, you should find another doctor. Finally, ask how quickly the doctor would see you if you had a true diabetic emergency. Even the busiest of doctors have to recognize diabetic emergencies and deal with them immediately. If the doctor does not see emergency patients immediately, find another doctor. By;articlesbase.com

Tinnitus: Taming The Beast Within

2010-12-26T11:15:00.000-08:00

Tinnitus: A persistant high pitched screaming only you can hear. You can hear it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Sometimes the noise is enough to make you feel you are loosing your sanity. In fact, on a lighter note one could call it "a big fat pain in the ear !" It may be of little comfort to Tinnitus victims, but experts estimate that approximately 17 % of the world´s population are currantly suffering from Tinnitus. If that isnt enough to worry about, almost 60 percent of those who have chronic tinnitus are dissatisfied with their current therapy. Learning to accept help from the right people is elementary in your crusade to escape the claws of tinnitus. It is essential that you find someone you trust and are not afraid of. It’s hard to find someone that will listen to your troubles and problems, especially when dealing with something as complex as Tinnitus. Most people will listen to you and feel sorry for you. This is only because they can’t begin to comprehend what you are going through. These people aren’t ignorant…they are just human beings, to them you are a probably an image of good health. This is because tinnitus can’t be seen from the outside, to the world you look perfectly healthy. I am sure that these people have their own worries too. Some people may appear to not be interested in your problems or they can’t grasp the severity of your situation. Please don’t forget, most people can’t even start to get a handle on what you are going through. Fighting Tinnitus often ends up in complete frustration. Tinnitus can only exist if it is fed appropriately and given enough room to breath. Stress and anxiety just adds more fuel to the fire. Fighting tinnitus can be futile procedure that will deplete your most of your energy. There is an alternative solution. This is the point I hope to make with my e-book “ My Best Friend Tinnitus”. If you are suffering from chronic tinnitus (with or without hearing loss) you have probably been down every one way road there is in your quest for a cure. That’s it though. There is no patent cure. It’s that simple and that complicated. YOU are the cure. This concept sounds too easy to be true. Not only can you learn to accept tinnitus as a part of your life but YOU can teach IT to be a part of YOUR life. You can take control by reducing its importancy. On this note there are a few sayings that spring to mind. “Don’t feed the trolls” or “tame the beast”. There is a lot of truth in these words. Tinnitus can be tamed and manipulated. Tinnitus has incredible power, if you give it authority. Think about what it has achieved by taking over your life. Why not turn the tables and learn from it. Get yourself in the driver’s seat and take it for a ride. My theory isn’t based on medical facts. My theory is based on 18 months of misery and depression. At it’s peak I was suicidal. Maybe one of the most important steps I took in learning to come to terms with tinnitus was using its power to help me instead of destroying me. Tinnitus is not physical. It can’t be seen under a microscope and it can’t be measured accurately. This may seem like simplified thinking, but tinnitus is a power and it can be used. I used its power to create a new person in myself. I am using its power to create this very article I am writing. I used it to loose weight, to stop smoking, to stop worrying, to run a small marathon and last but not least…..to help others overcome this dilema. Nothing has ever compelled me to sit down for hundreds of hours and write a book. Nothing has ever been worth the effort. Yes, there is an easier way out if you are willing to try. The best thing is that you have nothing to loose. I am not a doctor. I am not a therapist. I am Mr Average………..and a darn good coach ! By;za77.org

The camping chair is a wonderful addition to your camping gear when you are fishing, when you are lazing on the beach, or when you are just trying to drink in the beauty of the nature in a picturesque picnic spot. The camping chair is the icing on cake – which though not compulsory or a necessity, makes a great addition to the comfort scale of any outdoor camp. You Have Many Types of Camping Chairs to Choose From As a camping chair enthusiast, I have found that there are a great deal of variations to what we think a camping chair should look like. In my opinion (and generally that of the market), the camping chair is something that is light, extremely strong, and foldable. It is usually made out of aluminum pipes (the body) and covered with very thick (bag material) nylon cloth. Hence, it can be folded and carried along with the sleeping bag and other such camping gears weightlessly and unobtrusively. You will find, besides the standard foldable camping chair, that there are a number of other types of chairs, such as the inflatable ones which can also double as exceptional pillows, foldable chair-cum-table which can function as both chair and table as per your requirement, molded seat chairs, and even rockers. There is something for everybody out there. However, to get what you really need, you will need to run a proper survey or do research, and see what is available where, and what would be the most comfortable. The Best Deals Will Come From the Most Unusual Places When my girls one day came running through the main gate, they were carrying a miniature garden chair with them. This was a splendidly designed camping chair. On finding out from where they got it, I went to check the area out personally. There was a bedroom-sized garage full of clothes and sweaters and camping chairs. I was stunned at their exquisite beauty, and the throw-away price at which they were being sold. I bought them all for the sheer joy of having them. Similarly, all you have to do is search. You must look in all paces to find whereabouts of these types of chairs. There is of course the internet; just running a geography-specific search will get you the details of all the dealers in the area. When you decide on a type of camping chair, you should keep in mind the exact purpose for which you will use it. You may like to go fishing and use the chair to be able to stay/sit in running water – for this purpose you will need the waterproof camping chair, maybe modified with longer legs. If you need the chair to be simply your camping companion, then it does not mater about the water proofing – it should rather be small smooth and total foldable. Make sure that the people whom you gift these chairs to love outdoor camping, otherwise the gift would be a puzzle; a singly tiny chair received in gift will be a riddle for them. The camping chair makes for some great gift choices, though a bit unusual. By;za77.org

Smart Technology: Predictable, Planned, Proactive

2010-12-25T23:37:00.000-08:00

As news of a weakened economy continues to saturate the media and bombard business owners with negative messages, one company has found a creative way of adapting its services to fit within the current economic conditions and help businesses succeed. Miles Technologies, a provider of business technology solutions, has created Monthly Budget Plans that allow customers to budget their technology-related expenses without having to commit to a long term contractual agreement. According to Chris Miles, Chief Executive Officer of Miles Technologies, the company’s Monthly Budget Plans integrate separate services into one managed services package. In a single plan a customer can select business services that include IT Help Desk & Support, Business Software Support, Website Updates, and Online Marketing and Public Relations, as well as strategic consulting for all services. Miles says that the Monthly Budget Plans were developed as a way to help customers continue productive business operations within the unsteady economic conditions by making managed services more cost effective. “The Monthly Budget Plans were specifically designed with flexibility in mind,” explains Miles. “Most managed services providers require that customers sign a contract committing them to a certain monthly fee with a two to three year contract term. They lock in the customer which lowers the need to provide exceptional service in order to retain the customer. We’re different in that we do not require any specified length to the contract and they can cancel at any time. This way, the customer is using our services because we add value and not because of a contract term. We also allow for month-to-month flexibility in the plans in terms of both the level of services provided and the costs for those services.” To further ensure the practicality of its monthly budget plans, Miles Technologies offers a one hour guaranteed response time for all budget plan customers 24 hours a day and seven days a week. In addition, customers may roll over any unused monthly budget time from month to month. “We customize each budget plan in order to empower our customers with the best technology available for their businesses,” says Miles. “These plans are meant to provide a complete realm of services, from supporting a custom software application to identifying and resolving network issues before they result in downtime.” According to Miles, the costs of outsourced IT services are easily justified when compared with the costs of a full time IT staff or the costs of unnecessary system downtime. He emphasizes that the predictability of the newly developed Monthly Budget Plans make the services especially realistic in the current economy. Miles reports that the Monthly Budget Plans have been met with significant enthusiasm from customers. “Our main goal is to exhaust all possible options for helping our customers thrive in these conditions,” Miles says. “We are looking out for their businesses and trying to help them understand technology’s full potential so that they can make the best business decisions possible. In short, if our customers succeed, then we have succeeded.” By ; articlesbase.com

Paypal Fraud, Paypal Email Scams and Avoiding Paypal Phishing

2010-12-25T23:24:00.000-08:00

To access a Paypal account you need to have the username and password of the account. The username of a Paypal account is the main email address (primary email address) used to register the account. The owner of the account would also set up a password to be used along with the username to access the account. The security system is quite secure as long as the username and password of the Paypal account are known only to the actual owner of the account. If these details are available to anyone else it would mean that the security of that Paypal account has been compromised. Anyone acquiring the username and password of any Paypal account can access and perform all functions that the actual owner of the account could do. In this article we will try to explain in simple terms how confidential login information of an actual Paypal account owner can be robbed and misused. We will then provide important and simple suggestions that would reduce the chances of such a fraud being committed on your Paypal account. (a) Being careless with your information: This type of Paypal fraud can be committed very easily and does not require too much effort on the part of the fraudster. Users very often write down their login details for various websites with the fear of forgetting them. Anyone having access to these written details can login to the Paypal account and treat the account as if it was his own. Another possibility that could easily open a Paypal account to fraud is when the user selects a very simple or easy password that can be easily guessed. People with bad intentions need to make a few guesses before they arrive at the correct password to enter the Paypal account. These are the simplest ways in which a Paypal fraud can be committed and they do not require any email scam to be done. (b) Identity theft through a Paypal email scam: Paypal phishing or identity theft as it is commonly known, involves an attempt by a fraudster to extract the login details of a Paypal account from the actual owner of the account. Armed with these detais, the fraudster can be very dangerous as full control of the Paypal account can be excercised. In this case, emails will be randomly sent to many email addresses informing the receiver of a certain activity in their Paypal account. For these Paypal email scams to work, the receiver of the email will need to login to his Paypal account by clicking a link on the email. The exact contents of each Paypal email scam might differ but the objective remains the same. Once the user clicks the link in the email, he is taken to a web page that closely resembles a regular Paypal login page. This page is infact a fake and is hosted by the fraudster (not Paypal) with the sole purpose of collecting confidential login details from the actual owner of the Paypal account. If the owner of the Paypal account falls for this trick, his account will soon be operated by the fraudster and this could lead to heavy losses. Attempts to phish Paypal accounts have become quite common and each time a fraudster unleashes his cruel trick a number of innocent Paypal accounts become victims. The above two methods account for a major share of Paypal frauds and Paypal email scams being committed in recent times. It is not very difficult to stay clear from these frauds and we provide some useful suggestions to help you. You really do not have to give up using your Paypal account with the fear of it being misused or phished by someone else. The internet provides numerous advantages when it comes to selling and buying online and to surrender these benefits to a pack of fradusters would be sad. Avoiding Paypal fraud and Paypal email scams. (1) About your Paypal password: Choose a password that is not very easy to guess. Using your first or last name for your Paypal password is not a very good idea. Paypal frauds can be committed easily if you note your pass word in places that are accessible to others. Change your password periodically and whenever you suspect that you have become a victim of a Paypal email scam or other type of Paypal fraud. (2) Clicking links to login: Never click links on emails to access your Paypal account. Always use your web browser and type in the complete name of the Paypal website to login. Paypal email scams urge you to click a link on the email and access your website. The login information is then saved to a website that is not a Paypal website. This allows fraudsters to login to your Paypal account and make transactions on your account. (3) Periodic account check: Login to your account periodically and look for any strange or unexpected transactions. The transactions could relate to a receipt or payment of money. If you notice any abnormal movement in your Paypal account, consider it to be a Paypal fraud and inform Paypal immediately. Also change the password immediately to reduce the chances of further damage. (4) Logging out of your account: If you are in the habit of logging into your Paypal account and then leaving the active account minimized on your browser, you could be helping someone commit frauds on your Paypal account very easily. Such security lapses do not require email scams or other methods. Always logout of your Paypal account once you have finished working on it or when you will not be using it for a couple of minutes. Follow the above suggestions and you will be pleased with the results. Your Paypal account will be a lot safer and you will at the same time, reap the benefits of transacting online. The contents of this article have been compiled by the network team at Kaisilver. We request you to forward this link to all your friends and acquaintences, they will be grateful that you let them know about a safe way to work with their Paypal account. By ; articlesbase.com

2010-12-25T12:21:00.000-08:00

ANDA sering bermimpi? Jika iya, Anda beruntung. Pasalnya, mimpi bisa bantu daya ingat Anda lebih oke. Demikian hasil penelitian terbaru yang dilakukan Universitas California. Penelitian tersebut menjelaskan bahwa bermimpi membantu orang untuk menyimpan ingatan seseorang lebih baik. Pada kenyataannya, pergerakan mata saat tertidur, di mana salah satu tingkatan tidur saat seseorang bermimpi, merupakan salah satu bagian penyimpanan ingatan. Demikian laporan Daily Express yang dikutip Times of India, Senin (20/12/2010). Pada penelitian tersebut, Dr Sara Mednick selaku pemimpin penelitian dan peneliti tidur Universitas California memberikan sekelompok orang ujian mengingat sederhana. Mereka kemudian diuji kembali setelah tidur siang dengan mengalami dan tidak mengalami pergerakan mata saat tertidur. Ternyata pada tidur siang tanpa pergerakan mata saat tertidur, terbukti tidak adanya kemajuan pada ujian ingatan tersebut. Tapi pada mereka yang tidur siang dengan pergerakan mata saat tertidur, kemajuannya hampir 40 persen. “Pergerakan mata saat tertidur, cukup vital untuk menggabungkan seluruh informasi yang kita lalui setiap hari, dan membuatnya menjadi ingatan untuk digunakan di lain waktu. Hal ini membantu kita mengerti lebih baik keuntungan dari tidur,” jelas Dr Sara. Sementara itu, profesor psikologi Daniel Schacter dari Harvard mengklaim bahwa ingatan yang bagus membantu manusia melihat masa depannya lebih baik. “Ingatan membantu informasi dalam pikiran kita untuk kegiatan di masa mendatang,” facebook.com/CegahKankerMulutRahim?v=wall#!/notes/kanker-otak/mimpi-bantu-daya-ingat-anda-lebih-oke/471789767226

Pernahkah Anda mabuk? Seberapa sering Anda mengalaminya? Apa Anda yakin bahwa setiap minuman yang Anda minum tidak akan menimbulkan masalah? Perlu untuk diketahui, sekitar 14 juta orang di Amerika Serikat memiliki masalah dengan minuman keras, seperti diwartakan AskMen, baru-baru ini. Kebiasaan meminum digolongkan dalam empat kelompok, yaitu kelompok sosial, berat, bermasalah dan ketergantungan. Seorang pemabuk berat biasanya secara teratur mengkonsumsi lebih dari empat gelas, dan secara potensial sangat berbahaya bagi kesehatan serta dapat menimbulkan masalah sosial. Penyakit sirosis hati, rusaknya pankreas, masalah jantung, dan pelecehan seksual biasanya terkait dengan konsumsi alkohol yang terlalu banyak. Faktor penting lain yang perlu diingat adalah, jika Anda khawatir bahwa minum terlalu banyak, selalu ada sumber daya yang dapat membantu mengatur konsumsi, apa pun tingkat minum Anda. Anda cukup pergi ke dokter atau psikiater yang nantinya dapat mendukung dan akan menawarkan nasihat ketika Anda ingin mengurangi konsumsi minuman keras

2010-12-04T12:21:00.000-08:00

Jika anda termasuk orang yang sering mengeluh bosan, berhati-hatilah. Karena sebuah penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa orang yang sering mengeluh bosan memiliki resiko dua kali lipat besar terserang penyakit jantung atau stroke, dibanding dengan mereka yang suka menghibur. Para penelity di University College London melakukan penelitian selama 25 tahun terhadap 7.000 pegawai negeri di negara itu. Hasilnya, sekitar 40 persen dari para pegawai yang mengeluh bosan, meninggal dalam usia yang masih muda. Mereka yang merasa hidupnya membosankan, mengalami kesulitan untuk mengubah kebiasaan yang tidak sehat seperti minum minuman beralkohol dan merokok, sehingga mengurangi harapan hidup mereka. Dalam penelitian itu juga ditemukan bahwa wanita dua kali lebih menderita daripada laki-laki. Karyawan usia muda yang lebih banyak berkutat denganpekerjaan kasar juga lebih rentan terhadap kebosanan. Martin Shipley yang ikut menulis laporan yang akan diterbitkan dalam International Journal of Epidemiology minggu ini, mengatakan, "Temuan pada penyakit jantung menunjukkan cukup bukti untuk mengatakan ada kaitan dengan kebosanan." Jadi, jangan pernah merasa bosan. Tetaplah hidup bersemangat supaya umur anda lebih panjang.

ARTHRITIS VS DIABETES

2010-11-04T12:17:00.000-07:00

Menurut penelitian baru, sebuah obat obat generik yang diresepkan secara luas untuk Arthritis menepati janji dalam mengobati diabetes tipe 2. Para peneliti di Amerika Serikat ini menemukan bahwa salsalate, sebuah atipikal non-steroid anti-inflamasi,kimiawi serupa dengan aspirin, dapat membantu mengontrol kadar glukosa..... Temuan berasal dari uji klinis selama tiga bulan yang dilakukan pada 108 orang, dengan usia 18-75 tahun, yang mengidap diabetes tipe 2. Mereka yang mengambil salsalate, ditemukan, memiliki 0,5 persen penurunan kadar hemoglobin A1C, ukuran kadar glukosa darah. Temuan ini dipublikasikan secara online 16 Maret di Annals of Internal Medicine, seperti dilansir Healthday, Senin (15/3). "Hasil ini menarik," ujar Dr Allison Goldfine, direktur penelitian klinis di Joslin dan assosiasi professor di Harvard Medical School, mengatakan dalam sebuah rilis berita dari pusat. "Mereka menunjukkan bahwa salsalate dapat memberikan yang efektif, aman dan murah sebagai jalan baru untuk pengobatan diabetes." Dia menekankan, "pada saat ini kami tidak menganjurkan pasien menggunakan obat ini untuk pengobatan diabetes mereka sampai selesai studi lebih lanjut," kata Goldfine. Goldfine menambahkan bahwa salsalate juga bisa membantu memerangi aterosklerosis (penyempitan pembuluh darah). Studi ini menemukan bahwa orang-orang yang mengambil obat telah menurunkan trigliserida dan kadar adiponektin yang lebih tinggi, protein dipercaya dapat membantu melindungi terhadap masalah jantung.

SUSU VS DIABETES

2010-11-04T12:13:00.000-07:00

Apakah Anda salah satu penderita diabetes? Jika benar, sebuah penelitian baru menyarankan agar penderita mengonsumsi produk olahan susu dengan kadar lemak rendah. Seperti yang sering dijumpai pada smoothie yang dibuat dari yoghurt rendah lemak. Namun, bukan berarti hanya dengan mengonsumsi susu, Anda akan terbebas dari diabetes. Ada baiknya dilengkapi dengan rutin berolahraga. Penelitian dilakukan selama sepuluh tahun terhadap 3.000 responden. Para responden dibagi dalam dua kelompok. Kelompok pertama yang mengonsumsi berbagai jenis produk susu, sedangkan kelompok kedua tidak mengonsumsi olahan susu sama sekali. Dan hasilnya, kelompok pertama memiliki resistensi insulin 70 persen lebih rendah. Resistensi insulin adalah kondisi di mana kepekaan hormon insulin mengalami penurunan dan membuat kadar darah tidak seimbang atau kelebihan gula darah. Pada umumnya obesitas atau kegemukan ditandai dengan meningkatnya resistensi insulin. Menurut Mark A. Pereira, salah satu peneliti dari Harvard Medical School, semua kandungan dalam susu, seperti laktosa, protein dan lemak berpotensi meningkatkan kadar gula. Namun, laktosa atau gula susu yang diubah menjadi kadar gula diproses lebih lambat, sehingga baik untuk mengontrol kadar gula darah dan menurunkan tingkat insulin. Nantinya, protein dalam susu akan membantu menjaga kekebalan tubuh manusia. Sedangkan kandungan lemaknya juga akan membuat Anda merasa terpuaskan. Anda juga harus menikmati nutrisi lain dari produk-produk olahan susu yang juga bermanfaat, seperti kalsium, magnesium, dan potasium..... Untuk lebih jelasnya, berikut langkah ampuh memerangi diabetes: Pertama, rajin mengonsumsi dua porsi susu rendah lemak tiap harinya. Setiap porsi akan memotong resistensi insulin yang berlebihan hingga 20 persen. Kedua, lakukan penukaran. Pilihlah produk-produk olahan susu, ketimbang camilan berkarbohidrat tinggi dan rendah serat, seperti minuman bersoda, permen, atau makanan cepat saji. Ketiga, dampingi susu dengan buah, sayur dan gandum utuh. Anda bisa menambahkan potongan buah segar di dalam yoghurt saat sarapan. Atau bisa juga dengan melelehkan keju rendah lemak di atas roti gandum utuh.

Tumor is one wild cells residing in the body and continue to expand at a fixed location or not spread to other parts of the body. Due to this enlargement will appear lumps on a particular body part. Therefore, the appearance of a bump on a particular body part, whether or not accompanied by pain should watch as a tumor. If not properly treated tumor cells can turn into cancer. In contrast to tumors that do not grow, even in the cancer cells continue to divide rapidly and uncontrollably. Because of this nature, the cancer cells very easily spread to several parts of the body. If not promptly treated, cancer cells will continue to grow infiltrate into surrounding tissue, then make the child to a more spread far through the veins and lymph vessels. Cancer cells have spread to many places is very difficult to treat. In fact, medically quite slim hope of recovery. Until now, scientists around the world no one can give an assurance of the causes of cancer in a person. Indeed, until recently has done various kinds of research with animal experiments to determine the cause of the growth of cancer, but still it can not be the exact size. The factors that cause the growth of cancer: 1. Heredity, both of the parents directly or from his ancestors. 2. Ultraviolet light and radioactive rays (bask in the sun). 3.

However, for the cyst, myoma, or cancer of the hidden body part is difficult to know because sometimes it does not provide any physical symptoms. Therefore, the diagnosis is medically necessary. Early-stage cancer treatment easily followed up, both with modern and traditional therapies. Some medical examination can be taken for some cases as follows: 1. Pap-smear to detect cervical cancer. 2. Radiological examination to determine the lung and bone cancer. 3. Mammography for breast cancer cases. 4. Ultrasonography to diagnose the cyst and myoma in the interior of the body. 5. Endoscopic observation for the inner organs. 6. Colposcopy for the observation of the cervix. 7. Laparoscopy for observation of the abdominal cavity. 8. Snapshots layers of the body with CT scans and MRIs. 9. Biopsies (taking tissue samples of cancer cells) to determine whether or not malignant cells. 10. Laboratory examination to determine the sign of tumor, peripheral blood, urine analysis, liver function work, the work function of the kidneys, and other blood chemistry. Care and Treatment Overcoming cancer is not something easy, but it does not mean can not be overcome. Sometimes the same number of cases and complaints of patients given the same ingredients, it speeds the healing of each patient is different. This often occurs because of dietary and lifestyle of each person is different. Therefore, to care and treatment needs to be done a few things as follows: 1.

Foods that should be avoided by cancer patients, among others: 1. * Bean sprouts vegetables contain substances that stimulate the growth of cancer cells. * White mustard and kangkong reduce the effectiveness of the drug. * Chili stimulates the activity of the subconscious and thus reducing the amount of oxygen in the body. 2. * Longan fruit and jackfruit grow to contain cancer cells. * Durian, duku, pineapples, and grapes that produce alcohol stimulates the growth of cancer cells. * A soft drink or soft drink carcinogen. * Ice or cold drinks disrupt the smooth circulation of blood. * Alcohol stimulates the activity of the subconscious so that the amount of oxygen in the body decreases. 3. Salted Meat and Fish * Meat (beef, buffalo, goats, pigs) to facilitate the growth of abnormal cells. * Fish sauce prepared from fresh ingredients are not experiencing the decomposition so that the allergen ingredients are inviting the immune reaction. As a result, the body will feel feverish, gatalgatal, and swelling. Meanwhile, for people with cancer will occur and the reaction throbbing pain arising in parts of the body affected by cancer. Furthermore, because there is disruption of permeability (water absorption) of tissue, the wound surface will look wet, mushy, and sometimes bleeding. Even more alarming, some fish processor manufacturers often add preservatives formalin or body, not a food preservative. Formalin is hepatotoxic or toxic to the liver, so the longer interfere with the working system of cells and tissues, which eventually lead to cancer. 4.

Intensive maintenance can increase the productive age of 5-7 years to 11-12 years. The first harvest ranges from 3-4 tons / ha, then increased to 21-40 tons depending on the fertility of the soil. In the village of West Cilebut, Semplak District, Bogor Regency katuk traditionally planted, harvested after 2 to 2.5 months of age, further pruning is done every 40-60 days. Yields ranging from 3-7 tons / ha, with a price of Rp500, 00/kg. Plant interrupted include maize, cassava, and papaya. It turned out that intercropping with cassava result is better than monocultures. 25% shade levels provide tebaik influence on the number of shoots, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, root dry weight and root length. Cuttings 20 cm long and 5 g of nitrogen / tree best effect on the weight of wet leaves and roots. Substance content of GCMS analysis of hexane extract showed the existence of some aliphatic compounds. In the ether extract are the main components which include: monometil succinic acid, benzoic acid and 2-fenilmalonat; as well as minor components include: terbutol, 2-propagiloksan, 4H-Pyran-4-on, 2-methoxy-6-methyl, 3-incompetent -2-on, 3 - (2-furanil), and palmitic acid. In ethyl acetate extracts are the main components which include: sis-2-methyl-siklopentanol acetate. The content of the leaves katuk include protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins A, B and C. pirolidinon, and methyl p-dodesilfenol piroglutamat as well as a minor component. In katuk leaves contained 100 g: energy 59 cal, 6.4 g protein, 1.0 g fat, 9.9 g carbohydrate, 1.5 g fiber, 1.7 g ash, 233 mg calcium, phosphorus 98 mg, 3.5 mg iron, 10 020 mcg carotene (vitamin A), B, and C 164 mg, and 81 g. water Katuk plants can increase milk production predicted by the hormonal effects of the chemical content of plant sterols is estrogenic. In previous research katuk leaves contain ephedrine. Leaf Farmakologis effects multiply katuk nutritious milk, for fever, boils, ulcers and blood dirty. Three researchers said katuk leaf infusion can increase milk production in mice. Katuk leaf infusion can increase the amount of each lobule asini mice mammary glands.

Katuk raw leaf juice is used as slimming in Taiwan. Side effects In Taiwan, 44 people consume raw katuk leaf juice (150 g) for 2 weeks - 7 months, a side effect with symptoms of difficulty sleeping, bad eating and breathing difficulty. Symptoms disappeared after 40-44 days stop katuk leaf juice consumption. Biopsy results from 12 patients showed bronkiolitis obliteration. (9) A number of 178 patients consume raw katuk leaf juice with a dose of 150 g / day (60.7%), fried (16.9%), mixed (20.8%), and boiled ( 1.7%), during seven months - 24 months. There are side effects after the use during the seven months of bronkiolitis symptoms of moderate to severe obstruction, whereas the consumption during the 22 months or more causes symptoms bronkiolitis permanent obliteration. In America, since 1995 leaves katuk fries, salad leaves katuk, and drinks are consumed by society as drug antiobesitas (body slimming). Research carried out on 115 cases of obliteration bronkiolitis (110 women and 5 men), aged between 22-66 years earlier consumption katuk leaf. On the test of lung function seen in moderate to severe obstruction. Treatment with a mixture of corticosteroids, bronkodilatasi, erythromycin, and immunosuppression is almost no nutritious substances. After two years bronkiolitis develop into severe obliteration and death occurred in six patients (6.1%). The boiling process can eliminate the leaf katuk anti-protozoal properties. So we can conclude heating can reduce the toxicity of leaves to negate katuk. Type of preparation leaves katuk Of 213 types of herbs that originated from nine medicinal plant, only found six types of herbal medicine (2.8%) containing katuk leaf. Of these six species, four species of which have an indication as facilitator of breast milk. Data in 2000 showed 10 types of stocks as a facilitator phytopharmaca katuk leaf ASI has circulated in Indonesia. Conclusion The use of leaves as an herbal medicine or dosage katuk phytopharmaca is as facilitator of breast milk. The main side effect is the constriction bronkiolitis katuk leaves permanent. Research facilitator breastfeeding side effects of mother and child had never done in Indonesia. This research needs to be done, and if it has proven its safety, the dosage form leaves phytopharmaca katuk advisable to have the opportunity to use.

In the matter of smells, probably only petai can beat jengkol, although the smell jengkol relatively more 'soft', not odor petai. There are jokes about the smell, if you want to remove the smell of petai jengkol eat, or vice versa. so the question is, why jengkol could cause a bad odor? cause of the odor is actually a contained omino acid in seed jengkol. amino acids is dominated by amino acids containing sulfur (S) or a general sulfur. to better facilitate a clearer and the smell jengkol in connection with the element sulfur is the smell generated when we visit to crater a high sulfur content. when degraded or fragmented - broken into smaller components, amino acids it will produce a variety of flavor components is very smelly because of the effect of sulfur. one of the gas that is formed by elements that are very famous H2S odor. because of the smell factor is also making jengkol always placed as a lower-class food and people who like jengkol often feel ashamed if known to others. for some circles, it is probably impossible to avoid eating jengkol just for the sake of prestige watch, when they were actually a big fan of jengkol. jengkol actually smell can be reduced, although not be eliminated altogether. can be done many ways, one of them through the process of soaking and boiling. thus, both processes besides jengkol useful to soften the seed, also serves to reduce odor. other than that, so the smell is not too overpowering, urination should also use the right techniques, eg by rinsing before and after waste water, plus adding the floor fragrances. with carbolic or fragrances, floor, although the smell does not disappear altogether jengkol, smell the smell of carbolic acid could compete with the aroma of orange, apple or lavender. nutrient-rich if for the smell and the fear factor against the possibility jengkolat acid poisoning, people should just avoid eating jengkol. but, if refused jengkol as junk food, those views should be corrected. why? matters beyond the smell and cause poisoning jengkolat acid content, the real jengkol including nutrient-rich food. research results show, jengkol rich in carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A, B and C, phosphorus, calcium, alkaloids, essential oils, steroids, glycosides, tannins, and saponins. even, protein content was still higher than jengkol tempeh (18.3 grams per 100 grams of material) which is called - referred to as a source of high protein vegetable food. jengkol although very smelly but jengkol can cure diseases such as diabetes.

Bahaya Rokok

2010-06-03T11:59:00.000-07:00

Apa saja akibat buruk dari gaya hidup yang merusak kesehatan ini? Apa saja penyakit yang disebabkan karena merokok? Berikut ini beberapa penyakit dan dampak negatif yang disebabkan karena merokok:

*Penyakit Jantung Rokok juga merupakan salah satu penyebab utama serangan jantung. Kematian seorang perokok akibat penyakit jantung lebih banyak dibanding kematian akibat kanker paru-paru. Bahkan rokok rendah tar atau rendah nikotin tidak akan mengurangi risiko penyakit jantung. Karena beberapa dari rokok-rokok yang menggunakan filter meningkatkan jumlah karbon monoksida yang dihirup, yang membuat rokok tersebut bahkan lebih buruk untuk jantung daripada rokok yang tidak menggunakan filter.

Nikotin yang dikandung dalam sebatang rokok bisa membuat jantung Anda berdebar lebih cepat dan meningkatkan kebutuhan tubuh Anda akan oksigen. Asap rokok juga mengandung karbon monoksida yang beracun. Zat beracun ini berjalan menuju aliran darah dan sebenarnya menghalangi aliran oksigen ke jantung dan ke organ-organ penting lainnya. Nikotin dapat mempersempit pembuluh darah sehingga lebih memperlambat lagi aliran oksigen. Itu sebabnya para perokok memiliki risiko terkena penyakit jantung yang sangat tinggi.

*Kanker Paru-Paru Asap rokok dari tembakau mengandung banyak zat kimia penyebab kanker. Asap yang diisap mengandung berbagai zat kimia yang dapat merusak paru-paru. Zat ini dapat memicu terjadinya kanker khususnya pada paru-paru. Kanker paru-paru merupakan kanker yang paling umum yang diakibatkan oleh merokok. Penyebaran kanker paru-paru dalam tubuh terjadi secara senyap hingga menjadi stadium yang lebih tinggi. Dalam banyak kasus, kanker paru-paru membunuh dengan cepat.

*Emfisema Perokok berat yang sudah bertahun-tahun akan mengalami emfisema. Emfisema merupakan penyakit yang secara bertahap akan membuat paru-paru kehilangan elastisitasnya. Jika paru-paru kehilangan keelastikannya, maka akan sulit untuk mengeluarkan udara kotor. Tanda-tandanya adalah mulai mengalami kesulitan bernapas pada pagi dan malam hari. Lalu mudah terengah-engah. Tanda lainnya adalah sering mengalami flu berat, disertai dengan batuk yang berat, dan mungkin dengan bronkhitis kronis. Batuknya sering kali tidak berhenti dan menjadi kronis.

*Lebih Cepat Tua Hasil penelitian terhadap para perokok menunjukkan bahwa wajah para perokok pria maupun wanita lebih cepat keriput dibandingkan mereka yang tidak merokok. Proses penuaan dini tersebut meningkat sesuai dengan kebiasaan dan jumlah batang rokok yang dihisap. Penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa para perokok berat memiliki keriput pada kulit hampir lima kali lipat dibandingkan orang yang tidak merokok. Bahkan proses penuaan dini sudah dimulai bagi para remaja yang merokok seperti kulit keriput, gigi menguning, dan nafas tak sedap.

*Kerusakan Tubuh Dampak negatif merokok tidak hanya membahayakan paru-paru, jantung, dan saluran pernapasan. Kebiasaan merokok menurut penelitian bisa merusak jaringan tubuh lainnya. Belasan penyakit yang berkaitan dengan penggunaan tembakau bahkan mencakup pneumonia (radang paru-paru), penyakit gusi, leukemia, katarak, kanker ginjal, kanker serviks, dan sakit pada pankreas. Penyebabnya karena racun dari asap rokok menyebar ke mana-mana melalui aliran darah. Merokok dapat mengakibatkan penyakit di hampir setiap organ tubuh.

Kandungan Sebatang Rokok

2010-06-03T11:57:00.000-07:00

Zat apa saja yang terdapat dalam sebatang rokok? Nikotin merupakan zat utama yang terdapat pada rokok. Namun, lebih dari 700 jenis bahan kimia tambahan kemungkinan digunakan oleh perusahaan rokok untuk menambah kenikmatan merokok. Beberapa bahan bahkan begitu beracun sehingga beberapa pabrik rokok besar biasanya akan memiliki standar yang tinggi untuk membuang bahan-bahan beracun yang sangat berbahaya tersebut.

Perokok pasif bisa mendapat dampak negatif yang lebih mengerikan jika asap rokok dihirup mereka.

Selain itu, asap rokok mengandung 4.000 zat kimia, termasuk arsenik, aseton, butan, karbon monoksida, dan sianida. Asap rokok yang dihirup oleh perokok maupun perokok pasif akan menganduk 43 zat yang diketahui menyebabkan kanker. Itu sebabnya bagi perokok pasif bisa mendapat dampak negatif yang lebih mengerikan jika asap rokok dihirup mereka.

JANGAN ANGGAP REMEH PENYAKIT BATUK

2010-06-03T11:43:00.000-07:00

Batuk merupakan penyakit yang sering kita jumpai pada orang-orang di sekeliling kita atau kita sendiri yang menderita batuk. Karena sering terjadi dan biasanya tidak berakibat buruk, maka batuk sering diabaikan atau dianggap tidak berbahaya. Batuk bukanlah penyakit, tetapi merupakan petunjuk bahwa ada yang tidak beres pada tubuh kita baik karena penyebab yang ringan sampai merupakan gejala dari penyakit yang berat yang dapat mematikan. Walaupun jenis batuk kelihatannya hampir sama, tetapi penyebabnya dapat berbeda. Apa saja penyakit yang ditunjukkan jika terjadi batuk? Penyebab Batuk Batuk sebenarnya merupakan bentuk reaksi tubuh untuk mengeluarkan benda asing yang masuk ke dalam saluran pernapasan. Benda asing yang dimaksud bisa berupa debu, lendir, atau benda asing lainnya. Ini sebenarnya merupakan reaksi normal dan berfungsi untuk melindungi diri kita. Batuk merupakan pengusiran udara secara kasar untuk membersihkan paru-paru dari zat yang berbahaya ketika saluran pernapasan mulai terganggu. Batuk dapat pula menjadi upaya yang disengaja untuk membersihkan tenggorokan. Namun, yang perlu diingat, batuk dapat menyebarkan kuman yang menyebabkan penyakit. Batuk ringan yang umum menimpa kita adalah batuk karena masuk angin atau batuk gejala influenza yang biasanya terjadinya saat perubahan musim. Batuk seperti ini biasanya tidak lama, setelah cukup beristirahat atau minum obat bebas di pasaran, gejalanya akan mereda dan hilang. Penyakit Penyebab Batuk Tetapi, bila batuk tidak sembuh-sembuh dalam jangka waktu yang lama, mungkin penyebab batuk tersebut merupakan penyakit yang perlu diwaspadai. Seperti bersin, batuk juga bisa menyebarkan penyakit. Berikut ini beberapa penyakit yang sering dicirikan oleh batuk. *TBC (Tuberkolosis / TB) Penyakit ini menyerang paru-paru dan menular. Merupakan penyakit yang mematikan bila tidak segera diobati atau tidak rutin mengobatinya. Penderitanya akan mengalami batuk yang cukup sering baik pada waktu siang maupun malam. Ciri lain adalah tubuh penderita yang semakin kurus. TB tidak hanya menyerang orang dewasa, karena banyak ditemukan anak-anak yang terjangkit penyakit ini. *Asma Asma merupakan penyakit karena adanya penyempitan pada saluran pernapasan. Pemicunya bisa bermacam-macam dan berbeda antara satu orang dengan orang lainnya. Beberapa pemicu asma adalah debu, udara dingin, dan asap. Kenali pemicunya agar sebisa mungkin bisa dicegah serangan asma pada penderita. Gejala yang biasa timbul adalah batuk atau sesak nafas akan meningkat pada malam hari. Penyakit ini merupakan penyakit kambuhan, maka untuk penderita asma sebaiknya selalu disiapkan pelega pernafasan mirip inhaler yang dapat dihisap setiap saat. * Pneumonia Bagian yang diserang pada penyakit ini adalah paru-paru. Biasa dikenal dengan istilah paru-paru basah, karena bila terserang penyakit ini, paru-paru menjadi radang dan terinfeksi dan mengakibatkan pada paru-paru terdapat air atau lendir. Selain batuk-batuk, gejala lainnya adalah demam tinggi dan menggigil. Segera konsultasikan ke dokter atau rumah sakit agar segera ditangani. *Pertusis Pertusis dikenal juga sebagai batuk rejan. Batuk ini disebabkan bakteri jahat yang menyebabkan infeksi paru-paru. Ciri pada batuk terus menerus selama beberapa kali dan diakhiri dengan nafas terengah-engah. Batuk ini berbahaya bila menimpa anak kecil atau bayi, karena batuk yang terus menerus dan panjang dapat menyebabkan mereka kekurangan oksigen. Batuk yang dikenal juga dengan batuk rejan atau batuk 100 hari ini menular ketika percikan cairan hidung atau mulut orang yang terinfeksi penyakit ini mengenai orang lain yang selanjutnya dapat terinfeksi pula. *Bronkitis Penyakit ini disebabkan karena adanya infeksi virus pada saluran udara kecil paru-paru. Bila terkena penyakit ini, penderita akan batuk disertai suara seperti bersiul saat bernafas. Jangan sepelekan bila batuk dialami terus-menerus. Segera konsultasikan ke dokter atau rumah sakit untuk mengetahui lebih jelas penyebab batuk tersebut. Membiarkan terlalu lama tanpa mendapat pengobatan yang tepat akan memperparah keadaan penderita. Selain itu, kebanyakan penyakit yang menyebabkan batuk bersifat menular sehingga dapat membuat anggota keluarga atau orang-orang yang ada di dekatnya terkena penyakit juga.

Kanker Leher Rahim Pembunuh Perempuan Nomor Satu

2010-05-16T11:49:00.000-07:00

Penyakit kanker serviks (leher rahim) merupakan pembunuh perempuan nomor satu di Indonesia dengan jumlah kasus baru sebanyak 40 hingga 45 orang per hari dan kematian 20 hingga 25 nyawa manusia. "Berdasarkan data yang kami peroleh dari berbagai sumber bahwa setiap dua menit seorang perempuan di dunia meninggal akibat kanker serviks," kata dr Erik Kasmara SpOG. Menurut dia, kanker serviks di Indonesia termasuk kanker terbanyak mencapai 34,4% menyerang wanita. Sedangkan kanker tersebut hampir 70% datang dalam keadaan stadium lanjut dengan laju ketahanan hidup yang rendah. Dia menyebutkan bahwa di Jakarta dan sekitarnya, seorang perempuan meninggal sebanyak satu hingga dua orang setiap hari karena mengidap kanker serviks. Kanker serviks di Indonesia mencapai sebanyak 15.000 kasus baru dengan 8.000 kematian, kata dosen Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH), Karawaci, Tangerang itu. Walau begitu, dampak terhadap penderita kanker serviks yakni pada puncak usia reproduktif 30 hingga 50 tahun dan adanya gangguan terhadap kualitas hidup terutama menyangkut psikis, fisik, dan kesehatan seksual. Demikian pula dampaknya bagi penderita kanker itu terhadap ekonomi keluarga dan sosial serta berpengaruh pada perawatan tubuh, pendidikan anak dan suasana kehidupan keluarga. Menurut mantan dokter jaga di RSU Tangerang, Banten itu bahwa upaya pencegahan bagi penderita kanker serviks berupa primer dengan cara promosi, edukasi dan vaksinasi, serta pencegahan sekunder berupa screening atau deteksi dini. Bahkan pencegahan lain yakni tersier dengan cara pap smear (pemeriksaan vagina) menggunakan peralatan di berbagai rumah sakit di Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Dia menambahkan perempuan usia di atas 30 tahun sebaiknya melakukan pemeriksaan minim (ant/cax)

Kebanyakan orang mengonsumsi almon karena rasanya yang gurih, namun dan tak menyadari khasiatnya. Kandungan polifenol pada almon baik untuk kesehatan jantung manusia. Mengonsumsi 30 gram kacang almon setara dengan secangkir teh hijau atau setengah cangkir brokoli kukus. 2.Hazelnut Kacang ini sarat akan vitamin E yang dikenal sangat bermanfaat untuk sistem reproduksi. Tak hanya itu, vitamin E dalam kacang jenis ini juga penting untuk kesehatan otot jantung dan otot-otot lain di seluruh tubuh kita, juga dapat mencegah terjadinya disintegrasi sel darah merah. Ini baik untuk mencegah anemia dan mencegah faktor-faktor pemicu kanker. Tak hanya itu, kandungan asam amino arginine dalam kacang jenis ini bisa membantu melemaskan pembuluh darah dan menurunkan tekanan darah. Untuk mencegah penyakit jantung dan kanker, bisa dengan mengonsumsi 25 gram hazelnut setiap harinya. 3.Pistachio Selain rasanya yang gurih, garing dan renyah, kacang pistachio bisa menurunkan kadar kolesterol LDL dalam darah hingga 12 persen, ini terbukti dari penelitian Pennsylvania State University di Amerika Serikat, belum lama berselang.

KERUSAKAN UTAMA GIGI ANAK DISEBABKAN OLEH SUKROSA

2010-04-19T16:23:00.000-07:00

Makanan yang mengandung sukrosa atau gula tebu merupakan penyebab utama gigi anak mudah keropos maka dianjurkan untuk selalu menjaga kebersihan gigi dari sisa-sisa makanan. Asisten Manajer Pengabdian Masyarakat Fakultas Kedokteran Gigi (FKG) Universitas Indonesia, Drg. Peter Andreas, M.Kes mengatakan kandungan sukrosa mudah menjadi asam sebagai tempat pertumbuhan kuman. Menurut dia, agar gigi anak tetap sehat dan tidak mudah keropos minimal melakukan gosok gigi dua kali sehari, yakni setelah sarapan pagi dan menjelang tidur. Peter berharap, jangan sampai anak balita minum susu botol sambil tidur, karena mulut akan menjadi asam dan sebagai sarang kuman yang menyebabkan gigi mudah keropos. Boleh saja anak makan permen tetapi kebersihan gigi tetap harus dijaga. Sebagai pengganti sukrosa pada permen atau makanan lain, katanya, dapat diberikan pemanis alami pengganti gula tebu yang biasa terdapat pada sayuran dan buah. Ia mengatakan, merawat kesehatan mulut gigi, dan gusi sejak usia dini sangat penting. Mulut merupakan salah satu sumber awal masuknya bakteri dan kuman yang dapat mengganggu kesehatan seluruh tubuh. "Untuk menjaga kesehatan seluruh tubuh, harus diawali dengan menjaga kesehatan mulut, termasuk di dalamnya gigi dan gusi," katanya. Selama ini, katanya, masyarakat kurang memperhatikan kesehatan gigi susu anak, karena beranggapan nanti akan berganti gigi. Menurut dia, merawat gigi susu sangat penting karena jika gigi susu rusak maka akan mengganggu aktivitas anak.

MIGRAN SEBABKAN SERANGAN JANTUNG

2010-04-18T15:59:00.000-07:00

angan sepelekan sakit kepala sebelah atau yang biasa kita sebut migrain. Sebuah penelitian baru menunjukkan, orang yang menderita migrain cenderung terkena serangan jantung. Demikian dilansir HealthDay, Rabu (10/2). Serangan jantung pada orang yang menderita migrain hampir dua kali lipat jumlahnya ddibanding orang yang tidak menderita sakit itu, seperti dilaporkan Dr. Richard B. Lipton, seorang profesor neurologi di Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York City. Studi dilakukan dengan membandingkan antara 6.102 orang penderita migrain dengan 5.243 orang yang tidak menderita migrain. Hasilnya menunjukkan 4,1 persen penderita migrain terkena serangan jantung dan hanya 1,9 persen orang yang tidak menderita migrain yang terkena serangan jantung. Penelitian sebelumnya juga telah menemukan hubungan langsung antara migrain dan masalah kardiovaskular termasuk masalah jantung dan stroke, terutama pada pasien perempuan. Salah satu penelitian yang dilakukan pada pasien perempuan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan jumlah penderita stroke pada mereka yang menderita migrain dengan gangguan pengelihatan yang disebut aura. Pada kasus ini, jumlah penderita perempuan empat kali lebih besar daripada laki-laki. "Sangat jelas bahwa penderita migrain mayoritas adalah perempuan, dan biasanya perempuan muda. Ini bisa menjadi tanda untuk menghindari serangan jantung. Penggunaan alat kontrasepsi oral juga harus diwaspadai karena bisa menyebabkan pengentalan darah, khususnya jika wanita itu merokok," kata Dr. Holly Andersen, Direktur Institut Jantung Ronald O. Perelman di kota New York. Penderita migrain cenderung memiliki risiko klasik serangan jantung, stroke dan masalah kardiovaskular lain, seperti diabetes, tekanan darah tinggi dan kolesterol tinggi

BAU MULUT

2010-04-04T12:01:00.000-07:00

Bau mulut yang menyerang ketika Anda bagun tidur di pagi hari sangatlah memgganggu. Untuk itu diperlukan jurus-jurus untuk dapat mengenyahkan bau mulut di pagi hari. Jangan sekali-kali tidur dengan mulut terbuka. Tidur dalam keadaan mulut terbuka akan membuat rongga mulut kering. Celakanya, kondisi mulut yang kering merupakan tempat yang asik bagi bakteri untuk menumpuk serta membusuk di lidah, gusi, gigi, dan kerongkongan. Jurus selanjutnya adalah hindari minum alkohol sebelum tidur. Alkohol hanya akan memperburuk dengkuran dan membuat kondisi mulut menjadi kering. Pada pagi harinya, lakukan flosssing dan menyikat gigi serta lidah dengan benar dan menyeluruh usai Anda sarapan. Langkah selanjutnya, berkumurlah dengan sebuah cangkir jus lemon guna melenyapkan bakteri. Jangan sampai ketinggalan menyantap plain yogurt atau yogurt tanpa rasa. Kandungan bakteri lactobacillus dalam yogurt akan melawan dan menggantikan posisi bakteri bau dalam mulut kita. Mark Moyad, MD, MPH, direktur pencegahan dan pengobatan alternatif dari University of Michigan Medical Center, menyatakan yogurt lemon mampu secara instan menetralkan bau selama 12-24 jam. Bebas dari bau mulut dapat menambah rasa percaya diri dan mulut terasa segar setiap saat. written by : liputan6.com rewritten by : oxi-reload-stop.blogspot.com

KANKER PARU-PARU

2009-11-26T22:42:00.000-08:00

Tentang Kanker

Anak-anak yang lahir tahun 1985, diperkirakan sepertiganya akan pernah menderita kanker, dan kira-kira seperempatnya akan meninggal karena kanker.

Kita semua memiliki keluarga atau teman yang mengidap kanker. Tabel berikut memaparkan jumlah pengidap kanker di US tahun 1993.

	Jumlah Penderita	Jumlah Kematian	Persen Kematian dari Seluruh Kanker
Paru-Paru	170 000	149 000	28%
Usus Besar	152 000	57 000	11%
Payudara	183 000	46 300	9%
Leukemia	93 000	50 000	9%
Prostat	165 000	35 000	7%

Kanker pembunuh terbesar,yaitu kanker paru-paru, membunuh hampir 90% penderitanya, atau hampir 30% dari seluruh kematian akibat kanker.

Namun sesungguhnya justru kanker paru-parulah yang paling mudah dicegah.

Surver dalam beberapa dekade menunjukkan bahwa satu-satunya penyebab mayoritas kanker paru-paru adalah asap rokok.

Karsinogen

Zat-zat karsinogen (pemicu kanker) yang terkandung pada rokok adalah:

vinyl chloride

benzo (a) pyrenes

nitroso-nor-nicotine

Satu-satunya zat yang lebih berbahaya daripada asap rokok dalam memicu kanker paru-paru adalah zat-zat radioaktif. Itu pun jika dimakan atau dihidap dalam kadar yang cukup.

Efek Kanker Paru-Paru

Kematian umumnya bukan terjadi karena kesulitan bernafas yang diakibatkan oleh membesarnya kanker, tetapi karena posisi paru-paru dalam sistem peredaran darah menjadikan kanker mudah menyebar ke seluruh tubuh. Penyebaran metastase ke arah otak dan bagian kritis lainnya lah yang mengakibatkan kematian itu. 90% penderita meninggal dalam 3 tahun setelah diagnosis.

Korelasi Dengan Rokok

Industri rokok menganggap bahwa kaitan antara jumlah penderita kanker paru-paru dengan tingginya konsumsi rokok hanay merupakan kebetulan.

Namun grafik-grafik di bawah, dari berbagai penelitian menunjukkan korelasi yang sangat positif dan sangat konsisten bahwa satu-satunya penyebab kanker paru-paru secara umum adalah konsumsi rokok.

BAHAYA ROKOK!!

2009-11-25T10:57:00.000-08:00

Apakah ada cara aman untuk merokok?

Tidak.

Semua rokok dapat merusak tubuh manusia, dan dapat menyebabkan kanker.

Penelitian menemukan merokok 1-4 batang sehari dapat mengakibatkan gangguan kesehatan termasuk meningkatkan risiko penyakit jantung dan kemungkinan untuk meninggal di usia muda.

Beberapa orang berpikir pindah dari rokok dengan kadar tar dan nikotin yang tinggi ke kadar rendah menjadi lebih aman, hal ini tidak benar. Saat orang beralih ke rokok dengan kadar tar dan nikotin lebih rendah mereka seringkali merokok lebih banyak untuk mendapat kadar nikotin seperti sebelumnya.

Apakah merokok betul-betul membuat kecanduan?

Ya..nikotin di rokok yang menyebabkan kecanduan. Nikotin adalah zat adiktif seperti heroin dan kokain.

Saat dikonsumsi dalam jumlah sedikit, nikotin memberikan perasaan nyaman yang membuat perokok ingin merokok lagi. Bekerja pada zat kimia di otak dan sistem saraf pusat yang mempengaruhi mood perokok.
Nikotin bekerja mirip sekali dengan obat yang menimbulkan ketergantungan lainnya, dengan meningkatkan dopamine di otak (senyawa kimia).
Nikotin juga memberikan sedikit adrenalin, cukup untuk meningkatkan denyut jantung dan meningkatkan tekanan darah.
Nikotin samapai ke otak beberapa detik setelah diihisap dan memberikan efek dalam beberapa menit.
Hal ini membuat perokok mengambil rokok lainnya. Jika perokok tidak merokok gejala putus zat muncul dan bertambah berat.
Perokok biasanya mengambil 10 hisapan setiap rokok.
Seseorang yang merokok satu pak per hari mendapat 200 asupan nikotin setiap hari.
Perokok biasanya menjadi tergantung terhadap nikotin dan menderita gejala fisik dan emosional putus obat saat berhenti merokok.
Gejala seperti gelisah, cemas, sakit kepala dan sulit untuk tidur.
Tanda utama ketergantungan adalah orang tetap merokok walaupun tahu rokok berakibat buruk terhadap kesehatan mereka, mempengaruhi hidup dan keluarga mereka

Environment in which we live today is very bad for our health. Cigarette smoke and pollution are some things we can not control when we are in open space. In addition, there are several other factors that we do not realize can give a bad influence for ourselves. Imagine if every day we must accept the conditions or exposure to toxic substances because it is part of our work. CarePages.com define some kind of work that may increase the chance of cancer development, caused by chemicals or drugs used in the work, or any other causes. Maybe your job is not included in it, but there's nothing wrong if this becomes your knowledge. 1. Flight attendants, nurses, and other women's work shift settings. A study conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reported that women working on shifts have a greater chance of breast cancer. Further studies were performed to examine how changes in the natural sleep patterns can affect melatonin production and promote tumor growth. 2. Hair stylists, colorists, and salon workers. Do you realize that every time enjoy nyalon, there are smells that you had to breathe from hair care products around you? For example, spray hairspray or hair dye. These smells come from chemicals that would have an impact on people who have to work every day use. But whether the dye, or other chemicals in the salon to seriously cause cancer? IARC says that the chemicals used are probably carcinogenic to humans. The good news, wearing gloves will reduce his presentation, and many products that are no longer using raw materials that can provide a risk for salon workers. 3. Body builder and athletes who use drugs to improve performance. It is sad and shocking to see the fact that some athletes use anabolic steroids, artificial hormones in humans, to build muscle mass. In fact, steroid proved to give a stronger influence on the physical athlete. Long-term usage can cause liver cancer. 4. Painters and artists are exposed to chemicals and pigments. The researchers do not yet know what triggers mediator cancer growth. But they know for sure that the painters have increased the possibility of lung cancer and bladder. Exposure to silica, asbestos, and other carcinogenic substances can also provide a higher risk for the artists. education

five Minutes to Know Lung Cancer Risk

2009-11-16T10:41:00.000-08:00

Series of simple questions can in fact identify people who have a high risk of lung cancer. So stated a study. Studies conducted since 2001 with 1000 participants in Colorado initially to find out the primary health care in general. Participants are given the questions can be answered in five minutes consisting of lung cancer risk factors including smoking habits, family history, exposure to chemicals and work environment. Based on the answers obtained, as many as 430 votes pastisipan high risk of lung cancer. Approximately 126 participants were then asked to undergo tests of non-respiratory infasif called spirometry. Among the patients was found in respiratory interference, then 88 participants are required to undergo screening for lung cancer as a whole. Five years later, reportedly from lung cancer was confirmed in eight patients with respiratory disorders and 10 patients without respiratory problems. "Made with simple, our initiative of getting a response from the wider community including health professionals, patients and hospitals," said lead investigator, Dr. Thomas Petty in a release from the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. "By providing guidance in the form of the right questions from doctors to patients directly, we can begin to identify these risks," he said. HealthDay / rin

Type of lung cancer is different

2009-11-15T10:39:00.000-08:00

Type of lung cancer is different The fact of a number of studies in the past 20 years has revealed that women smokers are more susceptible to lung cancer than male smokers. Soerheim and his colleague, Dr. Dawn L DeMeo, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, found that by 2000, female mortality rate for COPD than men, although the researchers do not know why. However, Dr. Michael Thun, a former Director of Epidemiology Research at the American Cancer Society, did not receive rapid tesebut theory. "The evidence actually shows that women and men are equally at risk of lung cancer, with or without smoking," he said. However, Thun added, the type of lung cancer they are different, referring to the lung regions that have the possibility that cancer occurs in women and men. New research related to COPD, which declared women are more vulnerable, Thun argues, there are other factors that trigger, such as female life expectancy is longer. In addition, focus on possible gender differences may be forgotten. Instead, he emphasized that health professionals and the general public needs to focus if smoking is the biggest contribution to lung cancer and COPD. "If they stop smoking before the age of 50 years, most of these risks can be avoided," he said, citing studies that have been published. Then when they stopped, women and men can find other ways to reduce the risk of lung cancer, such as avoiding cigarette smoke. According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer became the highest cause of death of men and women in the United States. More people who died of lung cancer compared with colon cancer, and the combination of breast and prostate cancer. The institute estimates, more than 219,000 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed this year, and 159,390 people will die from the disease.

Analisis Kebiasaan

Lakukan analisis atas kebiasaan-kebiasaan merokok yang telah dilakukan selama ini.

Misalnya:

Kapan waktu tersering Anda untuk merokok

Kapan Anda secara otomatis ingin merokok

Hasil analisis ini akan membantu dalam mengerem keinginan merokok.

Susun Daftar Alasan

Lakukan segala hal yang membuat Anda tidak kembali merokok. Selalu ingat alasan-alasan yang mendasari Anda untuk tidak merokok. Jika perlu susun daftar alasan itu.

Menghindari kanker, gagal jantung, gangguan pencernaan

Kehidupan sosial yang lebih baik

Ingat kesehatan dan kepentingan anak / keluarga

Makan lebih enak

Langsung Berhenti

Pilihlah sebuah hari di mana Anda akan berhenti.

Dan pada hari itu, langsung berhenti total tanpa melakukan tahapan-tahapan.

Umumkan rencana Anda kepada orang-orang dekat Anda agar mereka bisa membantu.

Waspada Pada Hari-Hari Awal

Hari-hari awal akan terasa sangat berat.

Cobalah mengalihkan perhatian dengan mengkonsumsi permen atau permen karet tanpa gula.

Sementara waktu, kurangilah kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan rokok, seperti pergi ke bar.

Nikmati Hidup

Uang yang seharusnya dipakai untuk membeli rokok dapat dipakai untuk membeli hadiah bagi diri sendiri, seperti membeli buku, membeli kaset, nonton bioskop, dan hal-hal menyenangkan lainnya.

RACUN PADA ROKOK

Rokok mengandung kurang lebih 4000 elemen-elemen, dan setidaknya 200 diantaranya dinyatakan berbahaya bagi kesehatan. Racun utama pada rokok adalah tar, nikotin, dan karbon monoksida.

Tar adalah substansi hidrokarbon yang bersifat lengket dan menempel pada paru-paru.

Nikotin adalah zat adiktif yang mempengaruhi syaraf dan peredaran darah. Zat ini bersifat karsinogen, dan mampu memicu kanker paru-paru yang mematikan.

Karbon monoksida adalah zat yang mengikat hemoglobin dalam darah, membuat darah tidak mampu mengikat oksigen.

Efek Racun

Efek racun pada rokok ini membuat pengisap asap rokok mengalami resiko (dibanding yang tidak mengisap asap rokok):

14x menderita kanker paru-paru, mulut, dan tenggorokan

4x menderita kanker esophagus

2x kanker kandung kemih

2x serangan jantung

Rokok juga meningkatkan resiko kefatalan bagi penderita pneumonia dan gagal jantung, serta tekanan darah tinggi.

Batas Aman

Menggunakan rokok dengan kadar nikotin rendah tidak akan membantu, karena untuk mengikuti kebutuhan akan zat adiktif itu, perokok cenderung menyedot asap rokok secara lebih keras, lebih dalam, dan lebih lama.

TIDAK ADA BATAS AMAN BAGI ORANG YANG TERPAPAR ASAP ROKOK.
