In addition to hot flashes and dull skin, some of the symptoms that often accompany the arrival of menopause is flatulence and decreased memory. As with many aging effects, this phenomenon is hard to avoid but still can be reduced. Menopause is the cessation of regular menstrual cycles experienced by women every month. Menopausal women also can not get pregnant again. Menopausal women will experience a shortage of the hormone estrogen.

Quoted from MSN Health, on Monday (10/18/2010), the following is the recommended selection of food for women who begin menopause. With consumption of pain-pain during menopause can be reduced.

Expand nuts and seeds
Recent studies indicate soy intake at least 3 times a day is very beneficial for bones and heart, maintain healthy hair, skin and nails. Soybeans also effective to relieve symptoms of hot flashes in menopausal women.

CPR

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or CPR is the most recognized person sigh relief from mouth to mouth. Now with new guidelines for CPR, relief from mouth to mouth breathing is not needed anymore.

First aid with CPR manner has existed since 50 years ago. But now with the new CPR guidelines, the preferred technique is associated with the lungs (pulmonary) and not breathing from mouth to mouth.

American Heart Association tells us to give hard and fast pumping to the chest is more effective and can save lives rather than artificial breathing mouth to mouth. This will create oxygen-rich blood flow to the brain while waiting for paramedics to come.

“The emphasis on the chest is the most important part of CPR. The main changes are the switch from open airway and provide rescue breathing becomes compressing or pumping on the chest,” said Dr. Michael Sayre, a spokesman for the American Heart Association, as quoted by Reuters on Tuesday ( 19/10/2010).

Recent studies have shown that CPR without rescue breathing will work better than the full version of CPR is mostly done in people who suffer heart.

With the emphasis on chest pumping claimed would make more people willing to perform CPR and provide help to people who have a heart attack.

The average number of pumping a minimum is 100 compression per minute. What happened to the same kecepatnnya Bee Gees disco song ‘Staying Alive’ popular in 1977.

Each compression (giving a high pressure) has a depth of about 5 cm in adults and children, and 3 cm in infants. Another very important thing is to let chest return to its original position and not rested his hand on his chest.

“If you see a person suddenly falls, for example, one minute they walk and talk and then in the next minute fell to the ground then most likely it was a heart attack. If the victim is not breathing or not breathing normally, then tap or shake his shoulders to wake up. If notalso wake up, we recommend starting chest compressions and called 911, “said Sayre.

Sayre added if a person performing CPR on the victim who suddenly fall but not because of a heart attack victim will then usually awaken.

Five years after health officials began to promote this technique, a possible rescue of a heart attack is doubled and reached 10 percent.

For people who trained with conventional CPR, the new guidelines recommend also to give two breaths made after 30 suppression and then repeat the cycle again.

Such aid is very useful for most children and the people who drowned, because the pumping done will make the flow of oxygen in the blood.

But for people who suffered heart attacks due to clogged blood vessels, it is important for the person to keep the blood keep flowing without interruption simply by pumping the chest.

Gum Disease

According to a press release the American Academy of Periodontology, stress can cause gum disease.
The researchers found that 57% of the current study findings show a positive relationship between gum disease and stress and related psychological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Experts suspect daristres negative effects caused by rising levels of stress hormones, cortisol. Study results published in the Journal of Periodontology-edition August 2007.
In addition, people with high stress levels. tends to increasebad habits that can destroy periodontal
They also tend not to pay attention to oral hygiene.stress also increases the use of nicotine

The researchers reviewing 14 studies published between 1990 and 2006
about the relationship between stress and the factors fsikologis and gum disease
according to the researchers need more research to determine the definite relationship between stress and periodontal disease. But patients who minimize stress may decreaserisk of periodontal disease.
If left untreated gum disease can cause tooth loss, including bone in the jaw Symptom of gum disease include: gum pain, bleeding, bad breath, and tooth loss.

cold-virus

Ghent, Belgium, in alternative medicine, silver particles are often used for healing practices. Now the scientists are also using silver to coat the good bacteria, which is inserted into the body to fight germs that cause colds and flu.

Good bacteria used were Lactobacillus fermentum, type of bacteria that are also used in probiotic drinks such as yoghurt. With certain technologies, the bacteria were given a silver lining before it enters the body through the nose spray.

In the body, the bacteria would be involved in contact with norovirus, the most common type of virus that cause colds and flu. The virus will lose the ability to infect cells when in contact with a layer of silver on good bacteria.

This technology was developed by Prof. Willy Verstraete, microbiologists from the University of Ghent in Belgium. He presented his work in meetings of the Society for Applied Microbiology held in London last week.

“Entering the silver directly into the body can be harmful to health. Therefore we use our good bacteria as carriers of these particles into the body,” he said as quoted by Montrealgazette, Monday (10/18/2010).

In a number of stout, silver particles can cause damage to the liver, kidneys and lungs.However, when attached to the bacteria, said silver particles is safe because it is impossible to reach these organs.

Moreover, according to Prof. Verstraete, particle size of bacteria that coats each no thicker than a strand of human hair 1/10.000. Size is not dangerous to be used through a spray in the nose as well as water filters.
