Caring for and Maintaining Healthy Feet

Many people neglect the health of the feet. And many people are not careful to clean the feet. Whereas the feet including the organs that are also important, function to sustain the body, walking, and running. Remember the essential function, then it is appropriate that one limb is always kept clean. Legs that clean have a positive effect for health. Leg fatigue can interfere the comfort of activities. There are several things that can affect the comfort of the foot are:

Selection/Technical in Use of Shoes
Shoes is a footwear which must be used by school children and office workers. The shape and size of shoes can affect one's convenience in performing daily activities. However, comfort in using a shoes is not necessarily have an good impac for health.

Not a few women who wear high heels to support performance in office. For urban women, high heels made as a lifestyle. However, not many people are aware the role of shoes for healthy feet. High heels force a woman to tiptoe. Wearing high heels can put pressure on the bottom of the front legs, especially when walking. This causes an imbalance in the human body. The leg get blister, sprains and injuries easily. Even if not careful can cause ourself fell while walking. This is due to excessive sweat production that makes the soles become slippery.

In the short term, the perceived effect is a foot sprain, pain and stiffness in the joints of the bones. For the long term, muscle pain can be felt for many years in the calf. In addition, the foot lack oxygen and has opportunity to hoarding lactic acid because muscle get contraction continuously. Furthermore, the leg muscles become sore and tired easily.

To minimize it, the foot should still be given time to break. The trick is to reduce the intensity of usage high heels or can also vary the heel height (low, medium, and high). The use of low or medium heels can be done on the way to or home from work. This also helps the feet so as not tiptoe constantly.

As for the purchase of shoes should be done in the afternoon. The size of the feet tend to change more when the afternoon after invited to move so it will be easier to measure comfort when buying shoes.

Caring Hygiene
In addition to the technical use of shoes, the frequency of replacement of socks with a new one is also important to support the hygiene and health of the feet especially when the sweaty feet. Each time after wear, shoes should be aerated so that fungi and bacteria can not stick to shoes that are wet with sweat.

Global Warming: Earth's Main Threat Volume II

In the previous section, described three facts that become a major threat to the earth that is melting of ice in the north poles and south poles, rising of sea surface levels and climate change/the weather gets extreme. At this time there are three other facts that could also threaten the earth’s planet. These facts include:
1. Increasingly heat wave
Often the heat is felt on the earth so great. The sun seemed to sting harder. For some people who have been accustomed to living beneath burning hot of the sun or contact with the sun such as farmers, construction laborers, and marketing of company, burning hot not so minded.

However, for others such as students and office people are not familiar with direct sun exposure, often complain about the heat that is felt when outside. Indeed, now geothermal heat is different than several years ago. This is a fact shown by global warming.

In 2003, South Europe hit by a devastating heat wave that resulted in thousands of deaths. Most victims came from France. Other European countries such as Italy, Portugal, and Spain are also not discharged from the brunt of the heat wave. Besides thousands of soul have been lost, the effects of heat waves is drought and crop failure.

Meanwhile, in 2007 the United States also get heat wave’s awful. At that time, the average temperature that is felt in the United States reached above 40 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature of 53 degrees Celsius in the California’s region. The impact caused by heat waves, among others fall of victim dies, the death of hundreds of fish and livestock, forest burning, and destruction of agricultural produce.

2. The melting of glaciers
Currently the world's glaciers are melting. Just look at the glaciers of Whitechuck are melting up to 1.9 kilometers in 2006. The melting of glaciers gives influence on the earth. Besides to the availability of clean water threatened of being lost, the melting of glaciers contributed to an increase in sea surface levels. 

3. The melting of permafrost in Noyabrsk, Siberia
Siberia has a muddy pool area is frozen by permafrost. There are researchers who claim that 1 million kilometers persegi permafrost are thawing. This phenomenon occurred in 2005. Other studies have noted the speed of the process of methane that release into the air up to 5 times faster. This is due to melting of permafrost in Siberia. Keep in mind, Noyabrsk containing more than 70 billion tonnes of frozen methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas which 23 times worse than carbondioxide.

Cell Phone and Computer: Turns Bacteria Sources

In an era of technology, as now, humans difficult to separate from the two objects are familiar namely mobile phones and computers. The existence of both of them seemed to have become a primary need. Humans need a phone and a computer for ease of communicating and searching information. Offices, schools, universities, and corporations until individuals need cell phones and computers for daily activities. Unfortunately, not many people realize that actually the phone and computer stores a number of bacteria.

Bacteria On The Phone
People’s assumption about germs/bacteria more nest in the toilet turned out to be skimmed over by Jim Francis, an expert on German hygienic. Jim's research results prove that the bacteria that live on the phone 18 times more than the toilet door handle. The research was conducted on 30 different phones.

A cell phone can be packed with various bacteria such as faecal coliforms. Bacteria can multiply due to owners rarely clean mobile phone. Faecal coliforms bacteria can cause digestive disorders (abdominal pain). To prevent the proliferation of bacteria, cell phones should be cleaned with alcohol wipe is a kind of cleaners that contain less alcohol.

Bacteria On The Computer
The bacteria that thrive in a keyboard of computer or laptop known as superbug. There are some bacteria that are categorized in the superbug. One of these is MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) which were first discovered in Britain. At that time, MRSA infects the human body. These bacteria have more capabilities to the system of the human body so that causing infections. These bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. MRSA many dwell in the crevices of the keyboard. Keys of the keyboard does have a complexity in terms of design. The depth of crevices of keyboard makes it difficult to clean. The keyboard is likely to keep germs/bacteria. The bacteria commonly in internet cafes or computer rental.
Ironically, the behavior of computer users tend to neglect when using computers. While in front of the computer/laptop, people eating and drinking, and smoking carelessly. Unconsciously, human was piled up the waste in the crevices of the keyboard through the ashes of cigarettes, food, and beverages.

Maintain Body Health Through Hygiene
To suppress the proliferation of bacteria, the keyboard is cleaned as often as possible. Cleaning with water and alcohol was not enough, there are experts who recommend for the use of chemical liquid of hydrogen peroxide. However, please look out the frequency of its use so as not to damage the surface of the keyboard. In addition, computer users are suggested to wash hands with soap after using the computer. Not only that, bad habits in front of the computer began to be stopped.
