positive and successful execution of the next task .
Washing hands is believed to be "clean " disappointment incurred and replace it with a sense of optimism . The research results were published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science .
To
believe in the potential for psychological and performance effects of
hand washing , a team of researchers led by Dr. Kai Kaspar research
involving 98 respondents were divided into three groups . In the first experiment , the participants of the two groups should mengerjakankan task is not impossible to solve. In this section , the three groups did not participate .
Families are asked to apply clear rules about the use of television , cell phones and other media devices . This includes , limiting time spent watching the kids at least one - two hours per day .
This
is expressed by the Board of American Academy of Pediatrics ( AAP ) ,
in response to the number of hours that children watch no longer limited
. " We are not a mass media . But we liked the media , the question is how to use it well , " said Dr . Marjorie Hogan , a member of the AAP , as quoted by Reuters on Tuesday ( 29/10 ) .
According to Hogan , the media can affect children's lives in a positive way . For example , Sesame Street . These impressions help children pre - school to learn to develop empathy , for example . "
For teens , connectedness , to connect with peers , have the
opportunity to develop themselves , can be a very positive thing , " he
said .
Currently , the average child spends about eight hours in front of a screen every day .It made the time in front of the screen to the main activity in young people , after sleeping ."

The study, published in the journal Neurology shows , they are too much sugar in the blood tend to have memory problems . In this study , researchers recruited 141 respondents with an average age of 63 years .
The respondent is not known to suffer from diabetes or pre - diabetes . Those
who are overweight , excessive alcohol consumption , and have memory
and thinking problems are not included in the research .
In this test respondents were asked to remember a list of 15 words after the 30 -minute hearing . Respondents tested memory skills along with an examination of blood sugar levels . Respondents also underwent brain scans to see how much network owned hippocampus .
Not only the quality of the food , how to cook also play a role determining one's health . Cooking
methods that do not require the addition of fat and not increase the
amount of oxidative stress , certainly more healthful .According to the latest research in the journal Diabetes Care , how to cook steamed and boiled is the healthiest method .

White and clean teeth naturally healthier than teeth covered with plaque . This condition avoids the risk of inflammation of the gums ( gingivitis ) . Clean and healthy teeth also facilitate mastication of food , which is a major nutritional intake for the body .
With this condition, there is no reason subordinated dental hygiene . Certainly can not be home teeth cleaned . There are several important points that must be considered . Here is an explanation of the Chairman of Indonesian Association of Periodontology ( serpent ) Commissariat Jakarta , drg . Sunarto day Sp.Perio ( K ) :
1 . Note toothbrush
" Brush your teeth often have to be replaced , especially if the fur was out arrangement . Should select a soft furry outer layer so as not to injure the teeth . Do not forget to select the toothpaste as needed , " said drg . Sunarto day Sp.Perio ( K ) .
Food intake into the body must be balanced . Not only is animal , vegetable intake must not be forgotten in the daily food consumption . Vegetable intake obtained from vegetables and fruits , whether treated or directly consumed .
Intake of fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber . In the body requires daily 25-40 grams of fiber for adults . Adequacy of the fiber allows healthy digestion and weight loss do not quickly grow .
Adequacy of fiber for the body it can also affect the health of gums . " Fibrous foods such as fruits and vegetables have a natural ability to self- cleansing in dental plaque . Clean
teeth prevent gums from inflammation , " said Chairman of the
Indonesian Association of Periodontology ( serpent ) Commissariat
Jakarta , drg . Sp.Perio

Brain
damage due to the influence of pornography in the Magnetic Resonance
Imaging machine ( MRI ) , the result is the same as the damage to the
car as hard collision . R explains Elly Risman , a psychologist from the Foundation and Fruit hearts We Jakarta .
According to Elly Risman , Pree Frontal Cortex ( PFC ) will be broken when the children see pornography . Whereas PFC is central values, morals , where planning for the future , a place to set self-management . Part of the brain above the right eyebrow is what determines what a child will become . That's why PFC is also called the director who directed us .
"
Well at the time and saw a small child pornography can not forbid the
directors as immature , the parents who should be the director for the
child , but now why parents even give kids gadgets , HP , and access the
internet freely ? " Said Elly Risman in
a parenting seminar entitled " Challenges of Educating Children in the
Digital Era " held SD Integal Luqman Al- Hakim Surabaya recently.
"
After looking at pornography , the pornographic visual images that will
be sent to the back of the brain , called the respondent . Because respondent was not functioning then the child will be surprised , "said Elly .
Ban on smoking in public or outdoors in the last five years have been increased two -fold . It is now more than 2600 places have used signs smoking ban .
To
avoid the dangers of secondhand smoke , the study did not detect that
smokers inhale smoke from a distance of 44 meters need .
Some
experts question the main reason for this ban because there is no
medical evidence that secondhand smoke outdoors can harm the health of
children and others through .
"
Or maybe the long -term health problems for many people " when smoking
outdoors, " said researchers from Stanford University , Neil Klepeis
quoted by Time , Wednesday ( 14/08/2013 ).
Data
National Cancer Center Hospital Cancer Dharmais ( RSKD ) mentions lung
cancer patients continues to increase , especially in smokers . Last five years are also emerging trends , so that female smokers increased risk of lung cancer is high . Adolescent smokers also increased . Patients with lung cancer in adolescents was rising tendency .
"
Lung cancer patients most at the age of 40 . But smokers aged SMP / SMA
tendency to rise. The younger the person is , the more malignant lung
cancer and small chance of his life , " said the lung and respiratory
specialist who is also the Chairman of the Working Team Lung RSKD , dr A
Mulawarman Jayusman , SPP ( K ) told Reuters Health in Jakarta .
Mulawarman said lung cancer at a young age tend to be aggressive because of the growth of the cancer cells to spread faster . Cancer can spread to the upper body is also lower . Not only in the lung , but also to the bones , glands , brain , liver , kidneys .
Who does not know that exercise is very beneficial ? My
patients who are too sick , and perhaps never exercised before , will
nod their heads in agreement that a useful exercise for him .
He knows that exercise can reduce the bloated stomach , which became the culprit of the disease . Well, if the patients are encouraged to exercise , what he wants ? My experience , only a minority they are finally going to do it .
Like the patient above , most of us , too. Not play sports especially difficult start to defend it . I do not know what percentage of the adult population of Indonesia is active in sports , but I think it is very small . Sports
activities are carried out in certain events , such as marathons , bike
, stroll and so only time the event was held crowded . After that , bikes , shoes , and more other sports aseoris hanged .
In
developed countries , like the United States , 60 percent of adult
population do not exercise regularly, 55 million is not even the same
sport at all . While for 4 hours on average they sit in front of the television .
Exercise for health benefits are undeniable. If done regularly , exercise can prevent the arrival denegeratif diseases . In addition, exercise also proved useful in improving your child 's academic achievement in school .
A new study from the UK found that moderate to vigorous exercise is done every day can improve academic achievement in school . The higher the exercise intensity , the greater the impact , especially for subjects of language, mathematics , and science . Nonetheless , researchers still have not been able to demonstrate the relationship between the two.
"
Many suspected that describes the relationship, such as physical
activity increased their time in the classroom or the impact on their
confidence , " said study researcher Josephine Booth , lecturer at the
University of Dundee , Skonlandia .
When
looking for an easy meal to come and eat at home as well as good , and
most people now possible directly to the refrigerator and take stock of
frozen food .
Some people see it as a convenience , although not all agree with the frozen food supplies . Only few people know that some of the best food in the supermarket can be found just behind the sliding glass cover .
Why is that ? This
is the most common myths related about frozen foods , and it turns out
the facts , as reported by culinary.net , away from the assumption that
there had been .
• All frozen foods contain preservatives . It is a common misunderstanding . Add preservatives are not required for frozen food . Precisely the freezing process that is used as a natural preservative . In fact , many frozen foods are sold without preservatives ,
Skin aging is inevitable with age . However, a new novel suggests , is the most sunlight responsible for skin aging are clearly visible .According to the study , ultraviolet rays contribute 80 percent of skin aging symptoms , including black spots . The
study, reported in the journal Clinical , Cosmetic , Investigational
Dermatology And it also found that two percent of the damage of aging
skin, making as many as three years .The
researchers said that exposure to UV light for long periods can lead to
pigmentation , reduced skin elasticity , skin texture and reduction .Sunlight
, they said , is not the only trigger for aging skin , but there is
also gravity , pollution , diet , tobacco , disease , stress , and the
natural aging skin itself. However, in this study , they wanted to for the first time , calculate the singular effect of sunlight on the skin .

" Stress is a negative impact on the body such as increased muscle weight , blood pressure , and heart rate . Someone
needs to find a certain activity to reduce the impact of stress , "
said researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of
Education , Jane Roy .
One of the activities recommended Roy is a simple aerobic exercise . This exercise can affect certain neurotransmitters which have antidepressant effects . These effects affect the workings of the brain and increase blood flow to the muscle. Increase the flow of oxygen will reduce the pressure on the muscles .
Roy , who enjoys tennis , recognizing the benefits of physical activity to reduce the effects of stress . When exercising the concentration and attention shifted to the game , strategies , and skills . Sports can do damage as well as a focus on things that cause stress .

A study proves that women can live longer than men because their immune systems are aging more slowly . With endurance continued to weaken , kerentaranan men to disease shortens their life span .
Japanese scientists perform tests of immune function to see indications of biological age . The immune system protects the body from infection and cancer but cause disease if not well managed . Study
in Japan investigated the controversial question of whether the
relationship of age to the immune system responsible for the differences
in average life expectancy between men and women .
Hirokawa
Katsuiku Professor of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Tokyo
mengalisis blood samples from 356 healthy men and women aged between 20
and 90 years . They
measured levels of white blood cells and molecules called cytokines ,
which interact with cells of the immune system to regulate the body's
response to disease .
When exposed to pollutants make eye irritation , such as redness and itching , not a few people who try to treat it yourself .
One treatment efforts using eye drops that are sold freely .
However,
according to eye health expert from Jakarta Eye Center Dr. Johan A
Hatauruk , SPM , and treatment itself has a risk of eye problems are not
small . Especially if those efforts involve eye drops containing plant sterols .
"
When exposed to pollutants , the body actually has its own mechanism to
fight infection , so as to reduce irritation occurs . No need to use
eye drops sterols , artificial eye drops of water is enough , " he said
in a media seminar SOHO # BetterU titled " World Sight Day " , Wednesday ( 09/10/2013 ) in Jakarta .
Flowering
vegetables such as cabbage , cauliflower , and broccoli can protect
cancer patients from the side effects of radiation therapy for cancer
treatment . Similarly, reported a new study published in PNAS or the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .
Radiation therapy aims to destroy the DNA of cancer cells . The process of making such cells can not multiply and eventually die . It's just that , in addition to damaging radiation therapy of cancer cells are also potentially damaging normal cells . This then lead to side effects such as memory loss , wounds , and infertility .
In
fact , ironically , the effects of DNA damage experienced by normal
cells due to radiation therapy can also trigger new cancers . According
to the National Cancer Institute , the girl who was given radiation to
the chest for Hodgkin lymphoma has a high risk of developing breast
cancer later in life .
Wear it is a sign of lack of body fluids so that it can be a reminder to drink . But in fact , drinking should be done even before the body feels worn out.

Mild dehydration can result in lower concentrations already . So do not
wait until the body is dehydrated to drink , " said him in Inagurasi
and Hydration Indonesian Press Conference Working Group ( IHWG ) ,
Thursday ( 10/10/2013 ) in Jakarta .
Water, he said , is a macro nutritional needs required in large amounts . For healthy adults , the needs can reach 2000-2500 mL of water per day.
Eating vegetables and frozen fruit is more healthy than fresh look . According to scientists , frozen vegetables contain vitamins and antioxidants higher than products that look fresh .
As is known , the supermarket sometimes squirting a fine mist , so fruits and vegetables appear fresher . When in fact , some vegetables and fruits have long been in a storage shed . During storage , a process of decay that can reduce levels of nutrients in vegetables and fruits .
The two teams that conducted this research from Leatherhead Food Research and the University of Chester . Researcher uses 40 tests to measure the levels of nutrients in the fruit and vegetable research . Foods tested have been stored in the refrigerator and freezer for 3 days .
