Sore neck and back pain is often underestimated. The wrong position when sitting can not only cause pain, but also changes in posture.

Back pain, also known as dorsalgia is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.

Back pain may have a sudden onset or can become chronic pain, can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or spread to other areas.

The possibilities may include pain or sensation of sharp, stabbing or burning. The pain may radiate to the arms and hands and feet. May also include other symptoms besides pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling.

Neck pain or cervicalgia is a common problem, with two thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives. Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal problems.

Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or of the nerves coming from the cervical vertebra. Joint disorders in the neck creates pain, as well as disturbances in the upper back.

If this support system is negatively affected, then the muscles will tense in the area, causing neck pain. Neck pain may also arise from many other health problems, namely the physical and emotional.

Here’s how to setup the correct sitting position according to Dr. David Rempel, professor of medicine at UC San Francisco as quoted from Epharmapedia, Tuesday (02/07/2012), among others:

A. Make sure it has a comfortable back seat and with the support arm
Adjust the seat height so feet are flat on the floor, and the eyes can be aligned with the top of the monitor. For users of screen goggles should be slightly lower.

2. Position the monitor screen some distance away
Position the screen some distance away, the long sleeves to avoid glare from windows and lamps. The keyboard should be at elbow height and easy to push buttons. Use a table or chair arm to prop up the arm.

3. Keep the mouse close to keyboard
This is to avoid excessive movement, which can cause arm pain, for some, the mouse pad can help.

4. Check your posture
Relax the muscles in your arms, shoulders, and neck by sitting upright or leaning back in his chair. Stand up and stretch every 20 minutes.

By following the above methods, it can spend hours in front of computer comfortably and without pain.

But there are way more fun to solve, namely eating cheeseburgers and chocolate. Cheeseburger or a cup of hot chocolate is rich in vitamin B, namely vitamin B1 (thiamine) and B2 (riboflavin).

In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, vitamin B can overcome the symptoms of PMS women.

“Vitamin B affects the brain chemicals that trigger PMS. Consuming the right amount of vitamins will reduce the risk of premenstrual syndrome,” said the researcher, Patricia O. Chocano-Bedoya, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts.

In the long run peneltiian of 3,000 nurses, women who consumed vitamin B from foods have a risk of PMS symptoms 35% lower than it consumes little vitamin B.

“Women who consumed 1.9 mg and 2.5 mg riboflavin, thiamine least likely experience symptoms due to physical and emotional PMS,” said Chocano-Bedoya as reported lifescript.com, Wednesday (08/02/2012).

The recommended daily amount of thiamine is 1.1 mg and 1.2 mg of riboflavin. Thiamine is found in grains, legumes, nuts and red meat. While riboflavin contained in many foods such as milk, eggs, green vegetables and red meat.

Believed that the thiamine and riboflavin is necessary for the synthesis of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) such as serotonin and dopamine that affect the appearance of PMS.

Chocano-Bedoya also advised not to drink the vitamin through supplements because no significant effect. It is possible that your body better metabolize vitamin obtained from food.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, people who eat 2,000 calories per day should only consume 1.8 ounces of red meat and 3 cups of milk or milk products.

Some women sometimes have a point of different stimuli, but most women easily stimulate when administered to sexual stimulation and only a few difficult people aroused. There are two changes that occur in women when you’re aroused, that changes in genital organs as well as in his body.

Changes that occur in the genital organs:

1. Approximately two-thirds of the vagina elongated and broke
2. Lubrication of the vagina is automatically increased
3. The color of the vagina can turn into a rather dark like purple
4. Cervix and body of the womb (uterus) will be pulled back and pushed to the top to the pelvic cavity (pelvic)
5. In the vaginal lips (labia minora) and outer vaginal lips (labia majora) will rise up and open
6. Clitoris will swell and stiffen

Changes that occur in the body:

1. Pupils will be dilated
2. The sweat that comes out will increase
3. Nipple erection or tension
4. Respiratory rate increased
5. Heart rate becomes faster
6. Breasts will enlarge

Generally, the first response that comes when women receive sexual stimulation is the presence of warm perasangan spread throughout the body, which will be followed by changes in the body.

If the stimulation continues, it will be easier for women to achieve orgasm during intercourse. When a person reaches orgasm then some of the hormones in the body will actively participate as prolactin, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins, adrenaline and phenylethylamine.

But it was not yet ended, most women will get another benefit of feeling more relaxed and happier and also more receptive to stimulation.

Lack of physical activity coupled with poor diet lead to obesity since childhood. If not immediately prevented the obesity may be a risk factor of various diseases.

If children are stuck in the habit of less activity, then there are some steps that can be done to bring the little physical activity, among others:

1. Controlling the time to watch television
Ensure that parents give children a time limit of daily television watching, which is about 1-2 hours a day is enough for entertainment. But avoid putting a television in the bedroom, but enough in the family room or living together alone.

2. Give your child a video game that requires moving
Do not give a video game that just told the kids sit in front of the television or computer, but give the game that requires them to move while playing like a Wii.

3. Walk to school
If a school closer to home, then do not need a ride by car or motorcycle so as to give children the opportunity to move.

4. Give an example as a parent who likes to exercise
The children always see parents as role models, if a parent is often sitting on the couch and rarely move then the child will follow. But if children see their parents happy and to enjoy physical activity, children will do the same.

5. Entering the sport as a family agenda
Exercise or physical activity together will make children more motivated to follow, with a scheduled start exercising once a week together.

6. Perform some household tasks together
Some household chores is a great way to make the body sweat, such as cleaning rooms, washing the car together or clean the house.

7. Giving birthday gifts sports-related
Many parents who provide gifts of toys or video games, but try to give gifts as diverse as sport shoes, football or basketball.

8. Finding activities that are preferred by children
The children will do something that she likes something or enjoy a more vibrant, choose activities that favor child such as swimming or other physical activity

Recent studies show that heart disease is one of the most significant causes of death worldwide, including Indonesia. Unhealthy eating habits play a very important role in causing heart disease.

Most people do not include fruits and vegetables in the daily diet, whereas fruits and vegetables is an innovative and effective ways to ward off heart disease. Some fruits and vegetables have outstanding nutritional value and beneficial for heart health.

Here are some fresh juice which can prevent heart disease:

1. Orange
Citrus fruits contain lots of hesperidin, vitamin C can lower diastolic blood pressure and improve endothelial function (blood vessel walls).

2. Wine
Wine, especially red and purple grapes contain many flavonoids and resveratrol can improve improve the health of cells lining the blood vessels.

3. Pomegranate
Pomegranate is rich in polyphenols which are very beneficial for the heart, among others, to prevent and reduce atherosclerosis (thickening of artery walls), controlling cholesterol by reducing LDL (bad cholesterol and raise HDL (good cholesterol).

4. Apple
Apples contain many phytonutrients (phytochemicals) and pectin which acts as an antioxidant and works to lower bad cholesterol (LDL).

5. Kiwi
Kiwi is very rich in vitamin C content is very good as an antioxidant and increases the elasticity and strength of blood vessels.

6. Avocado
The best content of avocados is potassium and sodium which can control the tension in the arteries and cholesterol.

7. Strawberries
Strawberries are rich in potassium, magnesium and vitamin C that can regulate blood pressure, acts as an antioxidant and helps in the relaxation of arterial muscle.

8. Cantaloupe
Cantaloupe contains beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin B complex that acts as an antioxidant and an anticoagulant (blood thinner), and prevent atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in artery walls) and high blood pressure.

9. Aloe vera
Aloe vera contains beta-sitosterol which can lower cholesterol, improve blood circulation and strengthens the veins and arteries.

10. Carrots
The content of carrots is beta-carotene, glutathione (GSH), which reduce cholesterol levels and reduce systolic blood pressure.

11. Tomatoes
Tomato contains lycopene, phytonutrients (glycoside-esculeoside A), flavonoids (chalconaringenin), 9-oxo-octadecadienoic acid, which inhibits platelet aggregation, lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and also acts as an antioxidant.

12. Cucumber
Cucumbers contain beta-carotene, manganese which act as antioxidants and help ward off free radicals.

Starting from the content of vitamin K, C, and D the body needs every day, until the content of folic acid is important during pregnancy in mature red blood cells and DNA synthesis as an intake support fetal growth and development. Moreover even this vegetable is a vegetable low in calories and high in fiber so it became a favorite of many people in performing the ritual diet.

But the benefits do not stop the asparagus nutritional richness alone. In fact, according to various studies, asparagus proved to be a vegetable that can improve male fertility, capable of binding to cancer-causing carcinogens, can improve blood circulation and helps release fatty deposits stick to the walls of blood vessels.

So it is not rare the doctors recommend the asparagus as one of the menu intake of people with diabetes, eczema sufferers, people with kidney disorders and also patients with prostate disorders.

Even a recent study found that asparagus contains tryptophan, an amino acid-producing hormone serotonin which is a helper in the brain that relax the central nervous provide soothing properties, comfort and sleep.

This is what then makes the asparagus as a natural remedy that is needed by insomniacs to help them sleep soundly. The expectation is no longer drinking habits or medication, sleeping pills are often more negative side effects to the dependence on the patient.

According to research studies from Boston University School of Medicine, involving 200 participants were male smokers, smokers had an average shortening of the penis by 1 cm. “This is the largest-ever study of smoking-related sexual sensitivity,” said Dr. Pedram Salimpour, one of the researchers of this study.

According to Dr. Salimpour, the negative effect of smoking on the penis as well as the influence of smoking on the heart. This is a blood vessel damage, which makes the blood flow is inhibited. All this influenced the effect of elastin, a protein of elastic connective tissue and allows the tissues in the body to return to its original shape after stretching or contraction. In this case, elastin affects the ability of penile erection. Dr. Salimpour re-explain, elastin can stretch like rubber. This is what happens to the penis as a result of increased blood flow.

Smoking can damage the body’s ability to stretch it, so it can affect the size of the penis and erectile capacity. But researchers could not determine how many cigarettes can damage the elastin and shorten the penis size.

“This still requires further study, but it seems the dangers of cigarettes are more susceptible to the penis rather than the heart,” explains Dr. Salimpour. According to him, this was due to existing blood vessels in the penis is much smaller than the vein in the liver. Existing blood vessels in the liver measuring 1.5 mm, while the penile blood vessels 1 mm or less precisely measuring 0.5 mm.

Worse, Dr.. Salimpour explained, there is a possibility that the same could occur in passive smokers. But this requires further study. To avoid this happening to you or people around you, then begin to lead a healthy life without cigarettes from now, before it becomes remorse.

“Dietary interventions for lowering blood cholesterol levels and blood lipoprotein levels modify the spearhead of the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease,” is the opening sentence in this article.

“Currently, the consumption of nuts to lower cholesterol is the focus of the researchers because of their potential to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and lower blood fat levels. Decrease in blood cholesterol levels in this case is unique because the nutrients contained in the beans. Nuts are rich in vegetable protein, fats (essential unsaturated acid), fiber, minerals, vitamins, and other components such as antioxidants and phytoesterols.

Joan Sabaté, MD, Dr.PH, of Loma Linda University of California et al, collect primary data from 25 studies involving consumption of nuts in seven cities and 583 participants were women and men with high or normal cholesterol levels. All of these studies compared between the control group and the group who ate nuts, participants were not taking cholesterol-lowering drug.

Participants in this study consumed about 67 grams of nuts a day. Consumption of peanuts in the amount of 67 g / day associated with a decrease in average total cholesterol concentration of 5.1%, 7.4% decrease in LDL or “bad” cholesterol, and 8.3% change in the ratio of LDL / HDL. In addition, consumption of peanuts can also lower triglyceride levels of about 10.2% for individuals with hipertrigliserida (minimum 150 mg / dl).

The effects of nut consumption is indeed highly dependent of the amount of nuts consumed. Different types of beans does not affect its effect on blood cholesterol levels. Nut consumption modifies the effect of LDL-C cholesterol levels and body mass index.

Hail This supports the conclusion that shows that nuts can be used as a therapeutic intervention to improve blood cholesterol levels. Increasing consumption of nuts is expected to lower blood cholesterol levels (at least in a short time) and has the potential to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

There are so many essential nutrients in an egg. Call it the choline, which is essential for brain function and health.
One egg yolk contains more than 25 percent of choline each day. Adults need 425 g of choline per day, while toddlers need 250 grams per day. A study revealed that adequate choline intake could lower breast cancer risk.
Eggs also contain anti-oxidants and lutein that help prevent visual impairment due to aging and cataract. Levels of lutein in eggs is more even than in green leafy vegetables.

People who have heart disease was not recommended for abstinence eggs. They are advised to reduce the consumption of egg yolks to two times a week. A recent study also found no link between eating six egg yolks per week with the incidence of heart attacks or strokes in healthy people.

To benefit more from the egg, currently on the market are eggs that have been enriched with omega-3. Eggs enriched eggs are included in the plus-plus. Because in addition to containing nutrients in eggs, also contain fatty acids that protect the heart.
The experts recommend the consumption of 1,000 mg of DHA and EPA per day, given that most people rarely eat fish. To get the same benefits, it is advisable to consume eggs that have been enriched and contains 300 mg of omega-3.
