If your body weight goes up, not just body fat increases, but also the risk of various diseases. That's because the conditions that can make a person old quickly, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and pain, closely related to the presence of excess fat.
In determining the normal weight, you can use body mass index (BMI), which divides weight by height squared. Value exceeding 25 is considered overweight (overweight) and obese if the value exceeds 30. In addition to calculating BMI, you can also measure the fatness of the abdominal circumference. For women, the maximum is 80 cm and 90 cm for men.
In addition to making the body so it is not agile, piles of fat in the body will invite the arrival of the disease. Similar to other body parts, fat tissue also requires oxygen and nutrients from the blood. With the increased need for oxygen and nutrients, then the amount of blood flow throughout the body would have to increase as well. Thus, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.
Excess fat is also associated with increased LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol and triglycerides. Over time, these blood fat changes had a role in the formation of fatty deposits (plaques) in arteries. This condition is called atherosclerosis which can make your risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.
Diabetes type 2 is also closely linked to being overweight. Excess fat will directly influence the body's ability to balance blood sugar.
In addition to cardiovascular disease, according to Dr. John Tjandrawinata, SpGK from Boromeus Hospital, Bandung, there are several types of cancer associated with being overweight. "In women, such as breast cancer and uterine cancer. While in obese men, a greater risk of pancreatic cancer and biliary stones," he said.

HIV Transmission from Mother to Infants always increase
HIV transmission from mother to infant tends to increase steadily over the increasing number of women with HIV in Indonesia. Although the prevalence data of HIV transmission from mother to baby is still limited, but the trend of transmission will continue to rise because the number of HIV positive pregnant women tend to increase.
Thus disclosed Deputy Assistant Regional Development of the National AIDS Commission Good Rahmat Prabowo in discussion "The Importance of Providing Access to HIV / AIDS Prevention of Mother to Child (Prevention-Mother-To-Child-Transmission/PMTCT-)" which was held in Bandung Frisian Flag Indonesia , on Wednesday (01/12/2010).
Good explains, from about 4.5 million pregnancies in Indonesia every year, an estimated 25 percent raises risk of HIV transmission from mother to baby. Estmasi This can be seen from the HIV screening data obtained from PMTCT services.
"Data in 2008 showed that the number of pregnant women who test for HIV as many as 5167 people, of which 1306 (25%) of them HIV positive," he said.
Good adds, until 2008, has been available PMTCT services to 30 services are integrated in the MCH services (antenatal care). PMTCT programs have also been adopted by several institutions of society, especially for outreach and expand access to PMTCT services.
Increased number of HIV positive pregnant women, continued Good, makes the need for PMTCT services will increase. Based on the results of projections and modeling of the HIV epidemic, the number of positive pregnant women who need PMTCT services will increase from 5730 persons in 2010 to 8170 people in 2014.

"Poor people's knowledge related to transmission and prevention of HIV / AIDS to make Indonesia as the fastest country in the spread of HIV / AIDS in Asia. The worse the condition of the mother, risk of transmission to infants will increase. The process of delivery by Caesarean section and do not give milk to babies from mothers with HIV / AIDS can reduce the risk of transmission to 35 percent, "he said.
Meanwhile, Corporate Communications Manager Frisian Flag Indonesia (FFI) Anton Susanto, confirms it is committed to improving nutrition and public health, especially children.
For this reason, the FFI has commenced involvement in the partnership program to provide access to HIV prevention from mother to child (PMTCT) in Bandung since March 2009. FFI has teamed up with the KPA, Bandung, West Java Commission for Health (KUJBS) and several nongovernmental organizations to help the PMTCT program through the provision of counseling and monitoring support to mothers with HIV / AIDS.
"We are aware that in several countries has shown that preventive action through PMTCT programs can reduce the risk of transmission rates significantly," he said.
For his support of the PMTCT program in Bandung since two years ago, FFI receives award from Bandung City Government. Award presented by Mayor Dada Rosada coincide with World AIDS Day.

Know the Risk of Prostate Cancer Through Finger
There is no simple formula to determine who will have problems in the prostate. Therefore, many doctors recommend that men over the age of 40 years of a medical examination the prostate.

"The results of this research may someday be used as a screening tool to be combined with other risk factors, such as genetic testing and history in the family," says Professor Ros Eeles, researchers from the University of Warwick and the Institute of Cancer Research, UK.
The study adds evidence of previous studies that mention the link between the influence of hormone balance in the fetus with the disease who may suffer in the future. It is not impossible if the will of the pregnant women can do in ways of prevention of cancer risk in prospective baby.
Even so, the men who have a shorter index finger does not need to worry because prostate cancer is more influenced by the age factor. The older the age of a man, the higher the risk of having prostate problems.

Hair Replacement Types Reviews for Healthy Hair
Baldness is caused by hormonal imbalance, age and stress; but this does not mean that it is irreversible.
Advancements in technology have resulted to the use and practice of three of hair replacement options: the hair replacement systems, drugs and topical creams, as well as hair transplant surgeries.
Formerly called wigs, the hair replacement systems utilize synthetic or natural hair as instant solutions to common hair problems. These systems are further divided into two: custom and stock.
Custom is made specifically for a customer using the appropriate hair color and head size. Meanwhile, the stock has been mass produced based on the commonest head size and hair color. Considered as the cheapest replacement option, these cost anywhere between $200 and $2000, but generally lasts for only four weeks.
Drugs and topical creams can be orally taken or physically applied and cost $100 - $500 each. Most common brands available are Rogaine and Propecia because these are the only labels that have passed the US Food and Drug Administration's tests.
The rate of efficiency of these drugs depend on the dosage and how the user responds to them. Simply put, if the user stops using them, then hair would stop growing too.
These are popular in the market because they have little to no side effects and hair that grows back is naturally theirs.
This last type of hair replacement involves more money and scars. Hair transplant surgeries work by transplanting hair into the areas of the scalp that lack hair.
It involves an out-patient operation that normally lasts for 2 to 4 hours under anesthesia. The patient remains awake during the process, but couldn't feel the pain of the incisions and the stitching that would follow.
Since this is a permanent procedure, not everyone can go through it. Hair transplants are only recommended to people 25 years old and up, with mild cases of hair loss. Once the hair grows back, it becomes easier to hide the scars from the procedure.
It is recommended that one would look for certified doctors to decrease (or possibly) eliminate the possibility of infection. To make sure of this, visit the clinic and their resources. Look at their before and after pictures, so you can see their work.
All of these hair replacement options have pros and cons. Therefore, it is important to think really hard, before you make your final decision, which would be best suited for your situation.

How to Stop Snoring – Best Tips Home Remedies
You get up in the morning and your wife tells you that she could not sleep because you kept snoring all night.
Do you know this?
You probably experienced it yourself. But hopefully, there are some easy snoring solutions that help you to keep the family relation intact and solve your snoring problems.
I will just go over some of the easier solutions, but keep in mind that there are many ways to treat your snoring.
1) Get a new pillow
Many people do not believe that it is that easy, but getting a new pillow will often solve the problem. We often buy pillows without thinking about how their shapes and sizes relate to our own body. If you use a pillow that doesn't fit to your own head and neck, chances are that you will end up in a twisted sleeping position.
In such a posture, snoring is inevitable, your physiology won't make it possible to breath silently.
The obvious solution to this is to use a pillow that fits you well and lets you breath in a natural way.
2) Use earplugs
Probably not the best solution, but certainly the one that consumes the least amount of time. Buy earplugs and you (and your wife) won't hear your snoring anymore. However, this probably is not the most pleasing solution and you probably don't want to use earplugs for the rest of your life.
3) Improve your overall sleep quality
You can also take a holistic view and make an effort to improve your overall sleep quality. There are several methods you can use to make your sleep more energizing and thus more efficient.
You will feel great during the day and as your sleep quality goes up, your snoring problem may also disappear. I cannot guarantee you that this will happen, but improving your sleep quality will definitely improve your overall well-being.

Coronary Heart Disease Symptoms Signs
If you're like me, you might be aware that many people suffer from a few symptoms of coronary heart disease but do not notice them. Why is this? Because the real array of symptoms don't come until 70% or more of your artery is blocked.
This is a problem because it means when you notice the symptoms of coronary heart disease you are already in the later stages of the condition.
What causes coronary heart disease (CHD)?
Atherosclerosis (the hardening of the arteries) is the cause of the vein and artery heart blockage which leads to CHD. This occurs when fat, cholesterol and other materials gather on the walls of our arteries and restrict blood flow.
Due to this restriction, oxygenated blood finds it harder to get to the heart and this reduction eventually leads to CHD and its symptoms. A lack of oxygen travelling to the heart due to atherosclerosis is actually called "cardiac ischemia."
The symptoms of CHD aren't always the same and may vary. But there are some common points:
Angina - this is chest pains that come about when you exercise but alleviate when you rest or take a break. Most people feel the pain over their breast bone but it is non-specific so it could be anywhere.
Shortness of breath - this needs no explanation.
Irregular heartbeat - also called "cardiac arrhythmia. This might occur every so often.
Severe sweating - this needs no explanation.
You may also suffer from nausea, fatigue, weakness or breast pain if you are a woman. These are symptoms easily ignored until they come in groups.
If this happens you should definitely get it checked out by your physician.
Ways to defend yourself are exercising, eating less junk food and not smoking.
You could even invest in an omega 3 fish oil supplement which have been proven by scientific research to engender heart health.
You should definitely do these things if you experience any of the symptoms of coronary heart disease.

Beauty Tips Advice – Let’s Prevent Loose Skin Condition Smartly
A loose skin condition is a part and parcel of the skin aging process. As time passes by, our skin slowly degenerates in functions. It will no longer abundantly produce collagen.
Collagen is a vital skin component. This is the complex protein that makes the dermis strong and elastic. Without a hefty supply of this complex protein, skin loses its resilient and elastic structure.
Before this happens, you should know how to prevent a loose skin condition. It is easier to prevent this from happening that treating it when it is already there. In order to prolong youthful dermis functions, here are some of the tips you should try:
Try using skin masks
Regularly using skin masks can improve core dermis functions. Lemon juice is a good ingredient. It makes skin lighter but it can also help tighten pores and dermis tissues. It makes your skin softer too. You can also try using honey.
Honey contains restorative properties that can correct damaged skin tissues and prolong youthful dermis functions. You can mix honey and lemon juice for a more effective treatment.
Many people also apply olive oil. It contains antioxidants that can ward of harmful free radicals. This can also hydrate the dermis to prevent the early loss of collagen.
Use a more potent anti aging product
Start using a more potent anti aging product. This product should contain effective ingredients such as CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Manuka Honey. CynergyTK is an ingredient extracted from sheep wool. Sheep wool is one of the best sources of functional keratin. This is a kind of protein responsible for the regeneration of collagen and elastin in the body. Phytessence Wakame is a type of Japanese sea kelp that wards off harmful enzymes. These enzymes tend to attack hyaluronic acid, the acid that supplies moisture to collagen proteins. Manuka Honey is what you need to retain dermis moisture. It is a type of honey loaded with more vitamins and minerals. This can help spruce up the core functions of the skin.
protect your skin from the sun
The sun easily strips essential moisture from the skin. It can also hamper the continuous regeneration of collagen and elastin. UVA rays speed up the aging process.
You should choose skin care products incorporated with sun protection. Also use umbrella when you are going outdoors especially during midday. The sun is at its harshest during midday.
Do not rub or scrub your skin vigorously
This damages the skin tissues. Pat your skin dry after taking a shower. Apply your moisturizer using your lightest fingers so you will not disturb weak dermis tissues.

Acute Low Back Pain Relief Tips
1.) The Truth and Treatment for Acute Low Back Pain
Acute low back strain is not as uncommon as it seems to be. In fact, acute lower back pain is one of the most common complaints of patients when going to the doctor.
Acute low back pain accounts for over $20 billion of health care expenditures every year, and that sum does not include the indirect costs that the country is spending due to the ailment. According to recent study in the United States, fifty percent of the over-all workforce suffers from back pain every year.
In addition, ninety percent of adults in America experience back pain at least once in their lifetime. Acute back problems can make you miss work for at least three months, and even if you've recovered, the symptoms come back and your daily routines can be affected.
2.) How to Manage Acute Low Back Discomfort?
In dealing with acute low back pain, it is always advisable to consult a physician. You will be assessed based on your age and symptoms such as bone pain, morning stiffness and night pain.

This includes administering nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or acetaminophen. If a patient reaction to treatment is positive, it will be continued for two to four weeks unless assessed otherwise. (Always speak with your physician about pain medications prior to using them.)
A seven-day bed rest is perceived as an important treatment for acute lower back pain, but recent study shows that it does more harm than good.
The adverse effect is that it encourages a sick role on the patient. A clinical study attempts to prove this by sorting two groups of recuperating patients. One group was given two days of bed rest and the other was given a full week of bed rest.
It turned out that a two-day bed rest has the same effect as seven-day bed rest. More and more doctors are prescribing two to three days of bed rest to the person suffering from acute back pain. Rest includes having the patient lying on his or her back.
