9 Symptoms of Hidden Stress

00:55 | Labels: Health

Almost everyone has experienced stress, either because of work, personal problems or other causes. There are some signs or symptoms of stress that is often not realized by many people.
Here is a 9 (nine) hidden signs that show that you actually are under stress and need more time to calm down:
1. Menstrual pain
Women who experience stress tends to two times more likely to experience an extremely painful menstruation. Studies suggest that stress contributed to affect the balance of hormones in the body.
2. Mouth feels stiff
Jaw pain condition that can be a sign that you are experiencing teeth chattering (bruxism), which usually occurs during sleep and can be exacerbated by stress, says Matthew Messina, DDS, consumer advisor for the American Dental Association.
Gritted his teeth during sleep, including the disruption in sleep, also called sleep bruxism. The habit is an unconscious habit culprit. Until now, the cause of sleep bruxism is not known with certainty.
But some researchers say, people who have a habit of grinding teeth during sleep is usually the person under stress and find a solution of the problem. Conclusions are generated on the terms of a study of 48 people who have sleep bruxism.
3. Weird dream
Effect dream will usually provide a positive atmosphere while you sleep, thus improving mood (mood) when you wake up, says Rosalind Cartwright, PhD, a professor emeritus of psychology at Rush University Medical Center. However, when a person is under stress, they will tend more often awakened during the night.
4. Bleeding gums
Based on the results of research conducted in Brazil from 14 previous studies note that those who are stressed have a higher risk of periodontal disease. Increased stress hormone (cortisol) which continues to interfere with the immune system and allows bacteria to invade the gums, the researchers said.
5. Acne
Stress can increase inflammation (inflammation) that causes acne, said Gil Yosipovitch, MD, clinical professor of dermatology at Wake Forest University.
6. Cravings for sweet foods
Chocolate snack habits in most women may be caused due to stress factors and not due to hormonal changes. Conclusions are based on the findings of experts from the University of Pennsylvania who conduct surveys of the pre-and postmenopausal women. The result is known that the researchers only found a slight decrease in the prevalence of post-menopausal chocolate snack. Researchers say that the condition is probably caused by stress, or other factors that trigger the urge to snack chocolate female.
7. Itchy Skin
A study in Japan recently involving more than 2,000 people have found evidence that those with chronic itch (known as pruritus) were twice as likely to experience stress. Even the experts said, feeling anxious or tense may also aggravate other skin peyakit conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. "Stress response activates the nerve fibers, causing the sensation of itch," said Yosipovitch.
8. Severe allergies than usual
In an experiment in 2008, researchers from Ohio State University College of Medicine found that allergy sufferers experience more severe symptoms after they underwent tests of anxiety. Stress hormones can stimulate the production of IgE - a blood protein that can cause allergic reactions, says researcher, Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, PhD.
9. Stomach ache
Anxiety and stress can cause abdominal pain, along with headaches, backaches, and insomnia. A study involving 1953 men and women found that individuals who experience stress are three times more likely to experience abdominal pain.
Even so, the researchers claimed that there is no relationship that can scientifically explain the link between stress and abdominal pain. But one theory suggests that the gut has a relationship with the nerve pathways in the brain. So, when the mind reacts to stress, intestinal take the same signal.

Destroyer Tobacco Oral Health

00:51 | Labels: Health

In addition to affecting overall health problems, smoking or using tobacco products are proven to cause a number of oral health problems, ranging from oral cancer to tooth discoloration.

"Smoking can make you turn yellow teeth and tongue," said Thomas Kilgore, DMD, oral health expert and dean of Boston University Henry M. Goldman School.
Smoking and tobacco can lead to the emergence of oral health complications such as a more serious gum disease and oral cancer. To find out more clearly how the tobacco memengaruh oral health, the following is an explanation Kilgore:
1. Smoking and oral cancer
According to Kilgore, oral cancer is the most serious condition caused by smoking. "It's hard to say how large the percentage of smokers cause mouth cancer. But they have a high mortality rate is between 40-50 percent of all cases, and these conditions have not changed for several decades," he said.
American Cancer Society estimates, 90 percent of patients with cancer of the mouth (lips, tongue, throat, and mouth) is a tobacco user in some form. The risk of mouth cancer terctat six times higher for smokers than those who never smoked. While the risk of each person suffering from oral cancer usually depends on how long people use tobacco or cigarettes.
2. Smoking and periodontal disease
"Smoking does not cause tooth decay, but periodontal disease. Bone loss is a part of periodontal disease. This condition starts from inflammation of the gums and bone supporting the roots of the teeth become inflamed," said Kilgore.
According to Kilgore, there are two methods that can be done to improve or slow the progression of periodontal disease with therapy that is non-surgical and surgical. A study found that smoking has been associated with periodontal disease progression by 50 percent.
Periodontal disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults are caused by bacterial infection and cause damage to the gums, adhesive fibers and bone around the teeth.
3. Healthy mouth without tobacco
Most people often think that there are several types of tobacco are safe to use. But Kilgore did not agree with that statement.
"Tobacco in any form has its risks. It's hard to know where the dangerous kind - whether tobacco is chewed, smoked, or inhaled," he said.
The point is, Kilgore continued, regular exposure to tobacco in any form can jeopardize health. Kilgore gave the example, "there is a myth that chewing tobacco has a lower risk of oral cancer, but it's wrong."
According to him, the people who use chewing tobacco with it are at risk 4-6 times greater risk of mouth cancer than those who did not use tobacco. People who use tobacco without burning (cigarettes) are also at higher risk of tooth decay and cavities due to several types of sugar-containing chewing tobacco, and sugar is the principal cause of tooth decay.

Chicken pox is currently endemic in European countries, according to experts due to sunlight at least a factor there. That's why chicken pox is more rarely found in areas of high exposure to sunlight.

Dr.Phil Rice from St.George 's University, London, analyzed data from 25 studies on the varicella-zoster virus in various countries and then compare them with climatic factors.

Nevertheless he found the data interesting that the peak incidence of chicken pox in India and Sri Lanka took place in summer and dry.

"It happened because of atmospheric pollution so that exposure to ultraviolet light in this season is lower compared with the rainy season," he said.

Factors that also contribute to UV rays is the temperature, humidity, and other social environmental conditions.

Eat a little Brain Stay Young

00:41 | Labels: Health

A recent research shows, some meals (low-calorie diet) was very useful to keep the brain young. Conversely, excessive eating it will cause the brain to get old.

Recent research was conducted by researchers from the Catholic University of Sacred Heart, Rome, led by Giovambattista Pani, and work closely with a number imuwan from the Institute of Human Physiology. Research results published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA (PNAS).
In his research, researchers conducted tests on rats given low-calorie foods. Caloric restriction turned out to have a positive effect on the brain and can enable molecules called CREB1. These molecules have important roles related to age and brain function.
"Our hope is to find a way to activate CREB1, for example through the new drug. Thus, we do not need a strict diet to keep the brain young," said Dr. Pani.
Researchers said that, in mice fed calorie restriction tended not fat and not get sick with diabetes. In fact, these mice also have cognitive and memory performance is much better.
This finding is in line with previous research showing that obesity can have adverse effect on the brain and cause premature aging of the brain so vulnerable to diseases, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. In contrast, calorie restriction would make the young brain.
From this research, the researchers concluded that the activity of CREB1 could be dramatically increased by simply reducing caloric intake. Thus, it is important to limit one's intake of calories in the brain.
"This discovery has important implications for developing therapies in the future, especially in keeping the brain stay young and prevent degeneration and aging brain. In addition, our study describes the correlation between metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity to the decline in cognitive function," he concluded.

How long exercise to do to burn calories than a can of soda? Turns out you need to do the exercise duration of 50 minutes if you do not want to be fat because of the soft drink habit mengasup.

Still associated with efforts to prevent childhood obesity epidemic, researchers from Johns Hopkins University concluded that the duration writing exercise that must be done in every food and beverage packaging is effective for reducing cravings.

They claim that includes physical activity equivalent to the amount of calories diasup far more effective than just write down the number of calories contained in food products or beverages.

To test the theory they put three different warning for a food product. The warning was posted in the glass of the shop so it is easy to read the teenage consumers they target.

The first written warning can of soda contains 250 calories. Both states are calories in a can of soda 10 per cent of daily calorie recommendation. Meanwhile a third warning states that we should go jogging 50 minutes to burn these calories from soda.

Apparently a third warning is much more effective. Perhaps because it is more easily understood and the consequences to be borne feel burdensome.

Previously, studies show that nutrition information contained in the packaging of soda has cut sales to 40 percent. With the addition of the warning of the consequences of exercise is expected to reduce sales by 50 percent.

Regulated Thin Women More Difficult Pregnancy

21:25 | Labels: Health

Kompas.com - ideal body weight is also a prerequisite for getting pregnant. But less known is too lean body weight is much more influential in fertility compared with people who are overweight.
Dr.Richard Sehrbahn, fertility expert from Chicago, USA, said the danger of the weight is too thin for this often overlooked. In fact, in a study done, people lean more difficult to become pregnant compared with those who are obese.
Over the past 8 years Sherbahn, who practiced at Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago, has handle 2500 sessions IVF. The women who become patients divided into three groups based on body weight, very thin, normal, and obesity. Women of normal weight group includes women who are grouped in obesity in the UK.
About 50 percent of women in the normal weight group had a baby. Similarly, 45 percent of the obese women, including women who entered in the very obese.
However, in women who are classified as very thin, the pregnancy success rate is only 34 percent. The woman who called too skinny in this group is the body mass index ranges from 14-18.
According Sherbahn, difficulty conceiving naturally skinny women occurs due to decreased estrogen. But the women who participated IVF will be given hormones so this should not be a cause of low success rate of pregnancy.
The women in this study three groups of eggs produced in the same amount, because it is in women who are too thin, the problem occurs in the next process. Chances are difficult embryo attaches to the uterus for women who are too skinny are usually malnourished.
"The failure of fertilization that occurs may be part of an evolutionary process.'s Body as if to say if it is too thin is not enough food available, so this is not the time to reproduce and the condition of the uterus is not at his best," he said.
He added that most women do not realize that the body is too thin can interfere with fertility. "The young girl seems to think super thin body is ideal. They do not understand the risk behind it," he added.
He therefore suggested that women who are trying to have children, either naturally or following the course of fertility and IVF, to raise the weight close to ideal weight.
