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. If the shoe does not aerated, especially when wet with rain water, causing the shoe becomes odor.

Not only socks, but also to consider the use of shoes. The same shoes should not be used in 2 consecutive days. Do not forget, each time after the move, wash your feet with warm water and soap. Clean up all the dirt on the sidelines of the toes because it could be a source of pleasant aroma.

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.

Radiation Cell Phone: Trigger Brain Cancer

Besides the issue of E-coli epidemic in mainland Europe, the world is also shocked by an unpleasant news. Recently the World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement that cell phone can result in brain cancer. Radiation emitted by mobile phones contain carcinogenic elements. As known, a carcinogen is a substance that can trigger cancer.

Indeed, various studies have said that cell phones have adverse effects for health. Research on the phone has actually done a few years ago. A study from Sweden (European Journal of Cancer Prevention), published in 2002, suggested that the use of analog cell phones can cause brain cancer. The longer the time of cell phone use, the greater the risk of brain cancer.

Still from the same country, the research conducted at a university in Sweden resulted in the discovery about the effect of mobile phone radiation on the function of enzymes and proteins. In this study, visible there is a degeneration in the protein albumin are tested on animals. It is also occur in Finland. A study resulting from this country showed the radiation emitted by mobile phones affects the protein in brain cells.

Devra Lee Davis, an epidemiologist and author of Disconnect: The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, said that the waves emitted by mobile phones penetrate to the brain protector lines, triggering a reduction in the cells of DNA, and increase opportunities for the creation of cancer.

Other researchers, Leif Salford, said that the micro wave is out of the phone can cause Alzheimer's disease. Meanwhile, another study of the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection) to prove that the phone is placed near the head for several minutes, can raise the temperature of the cells near the brain about 0.10 degrees Celsius.

Recognized or not, when we call or receive calls for several minutes, ears feel hot. This circumstances occurred when the phone is sticked to the ear. Not only the ear, but also the phone get a similar situation. However, if we use the tools of hands-free, hot in the ear is reduced. Sometimes radiation emitted by mobile phones also interfere with electronic equipment such as radio and television.

To minimize the possibility of brain cancer, there is need for preventive efforts. That effort could begin by changing habits in the use of the phone. Changing habits toward better bring positive effects for health. These efforts include:
1. Maximizing the distance from the radiation source. It means head avoiding the phone as much as possible.
2. Minimizing the time the conversation. If the conversation for a long time, use the loudspeaker or handsfree facility.
3. Utilize the facility SMS (Short Message Services)
4. If the SMS and the loudspeaker is less effective, arrange a time to meet with people who want to be invited to talk.
5. Installing anti-radiation equipment on a mobile phone to reduce radiation levels.
6. Avoiding the phone when the signal is weak due to radiation is stronger.
7. Keep children away from cell phones because the skull and scalp in children is thinner so that the radiation is easy to enter.
8. Drinking milk because milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid which can reduce complaints due to cell phone radiation.

In fact, cell phones can disturb health. Mobile phones have a strong wave. In addition to radiation, cell phone noise level can be a trigger ear damage. The impact noise is ear pain. Therefore, once again the right solution is to reduce the intensity of the use of mobile phones in the ear.

Green Campus: Evocative Awareness of Academics To the Environment

Today, the issue of environmental damage towards the climax. The crisis of the green area so much the evident in front of the eye. The number of skyscrapers in urban and changing of land for office buildings, shop, and the block of house reduces the quantity of green area. Parks and comfortable shelter increasingly difficult to find. Rice fields became narrower.

Awareness of the importance of the environment is still underestimated by some people. The phenomenon of the above should get serious attention from various parties, especially the university as a producer scholars, humans who are educated. Universities should interpret this discourse well. Real action and fast at least needs to be realized. The university should respond this issues through green action, conservation programs, or other program which give benefit to the environment.

Why should be done by the university? First, the university as a pillar of the implementation of an education. Level of high education at university level. Second, education is still regarded as a strategic agency that teaches the concepts and sciences, including environmental. On the shoulders of education, the concepts/ideas about the environment can be learned and plunged so that the issue of environmental damage can be conquered immediately. Third, as mentioned in advance that the output of higher education in the form of educated people/scholars who participate in the worldwide development and contribute in policymaking one day.

Unfortunately, the university seemed oblivious. Most universities compete to pursue the reputation of the institution. Even some university intends to go international, pursue the title of world class university, become an excellent university that able to compete with foreign universities. Indeed, it is not wrong. On the other side, there are many universities that attract as many as possible students. Together with increasing of students quantity, the needs of students also increase while capacity has exceeded quota limits. That is, reluctantly the university must provide additional facilities in the form of building classes, practices places, and laboratories. This is certainly an impact on the construction of buildings that would destroy the environment later.

Campus as a place to produce candidates for intellectuals should also promote green programs, programs oriented environment. Proper awareness of the environment is built to cope with environmental degradation. Construction of campus facilities should be accompanied by the construction of a park or planting shade trees. Thus, the issue of environmental damage can be conquered properly by academics.

Epidemic of E-Coli in Mainland Europe

Recently the world shocked by the health issues that come from European mainland. Tens of people died because infected epidemic of E-coli (Escherichia coli). Most victims come from Germany. Several other countries in Europe are also infected with E-coli epidemic such as England, Spain, Denmark, France, Sweden and Netherlands. Even the epidemic has spread to the United States.

Initially cucumber, tomato, and lettuce from Spain suspected as the source of the spread of E-coli. However, now there are new findings that mentions German’s local vegetables as the main medium for spreading E-coli epidemic. This allegation is aimed at bean sprouts.

Really, E-coli is a bacteria inside the human body. The nature of these bacteria are not harmful. In fact, these bacteria have a number of benefits. Together with other bacteria in the colon, E. coli produces amino acids that are beneficial to the body. In addition, E-coli can protect humans intestinal from infectious of bacterial pathogens and produce antibiotic materials.

At other times, E-coli can not friendly with humans. E-coli began to attack humans. This is due to excessive in use of antibiotics by humans. In this phase, the immune system began to fail in the gut. The germs enter through the gut easily. Therefore, the use of antibiotics must be precise. Besides in the intestine, E-coli live in the surrounding environment such as shallow groundwater that has been contaminated.

However, variants of E-coli on the blue continent (the nickname for the continent of Europe) is different from E-coli in general. The bacteria is believed to be dangerous and deadly because can kill humans. The new variant is resistant to antibiotics. There are two cases in E-coli epidemic that is Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia Coli (EHEC) and Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS). EHEC cases is milder than HUS. While HUS is the development of EHEC, the next phase after EHEC.

The symptoms arising from EHEC attacks, among others, have indigestion in the stomach like diarrhoea. Sometimes abdominal gets cramp. These symptoms are accompanied by fever and vomiting. In some cases, the feces mixed with blood. EHEC incubation period ranges from 3 to 8 days, with the average 4 days. Most people with EHEC can be recovered after the eighth day with intensive care. In special circumstances, EHEC can be increased to HUS.

Signs of HUS include anemia, thrombocytopenia, acute renal failure, blindness, paralysis, and coma. To ascertain patients infected HUS (positive) so required the laboratory tests. To be aware of E-coli epidemic, need to be kept clean of food, beverages, vegetables, and fruits. However that may be, maintaining food hygiene is anticipative step to E-coli bacteria.

The Uniqueness and Beauty of Bonsai

An ancient Chinese proverb says "If you want happy all night, drink wine. If you want happy during a few weeks or months, marry. If you want to love forever, keep bonsai ".

In an ancient mythology in mainland China, there is a magician that is able to conjure any magic into a small, including large trees and panorama around it. The tree is stored and displayed in a condition of life as a miniature. Then miniature is known as bonsai.

Planting bonsai done in shallow pots, called the bon. The term bonsai also used for traditional Japanese art in the maintenance of plants or trees in shallow pots and appreciation of the beauty of form branches, leaves, stems, and roots of trees. This plant is very popular in cherry country, Japan.

Basically, the bonsai is a miniature plant or original tree in the real world that is moved to above the smaller medium. This plants or trees is dwarfed in shallow pots with the purpose of making a miniature of the original tree shape. The shape is strong and balanced between right and left branches, front and rear as one unified whole. Bonsai teaches philosophy of maturity of age. The age of bonsai is older, its value is higher.

If height of original trees in the earth reaches 2-5 meters, so the height of bonsai in a shallow pot becomes 15-100 cm. Based on plant height from the base of the stem to the top of plants, bonsai are grouped into six categories as follows:
1. Giants    : tree height more than 101 cm.
2. Very large    : tree height between 76-100 cm.
3. Large    : tree height between 46-75 cm
4. Medium    : tree height between 31-45 cm
5. Small    : tree height between 16-30 cm
6. Very small    : tree height is less than 15 cm. (Source: Wikipedia)

Commonly, the dwarf plant has trunk that is bend. However, this plant has power of attraction. Public interest in this plant for its unique and beautiful. In addition, the bonsai has a high art. Many people make bonsai as one of the collection to decorate the house. Bonsai are often used to decorate the living room, working room, or family room. Its existence also beautify the garden. Nothing wrong if this plant is favored by many people, not only women but also men. Besides as a home decorator, the plant is able to make fresh air. Although classified as special plants and high prices, these plants are not always synonymous with the rich people.

The lack of bonsai is making of plants require a long time. There are many things to be done related to the making of bonsai, including fertilization, pruning, crop establishment, watering, and replacement of pots and soil.

Global Warming: Earth's Main Threat

How might global warming threatens life on earth? When carbon dioxide from the earth's surface continues to be released into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels. When thousands of hectares of forests were damaged by fire or illegal logging, so the plants that died in it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. At the same time, a "time bomb" began working to destroy the planet.

Here are the facts that may be a threat to the planet earth where we stand:
1. Melting of ice in north poles and south poles
Global warming is a direct impact on the melting of ice in the polar north and south poles. Ice melting in Greenland has almost reached 19 million tons. Even a climate expert NASA (National Aeronautics and Space United States) made a startling prediction. Almost all the ice in north poles will disappear in late of summer 2012. Just imagine, if the earth is no longer covered with ice so the impact will be felt at all. Earth will become so hot to be occupied. 

2. The increase in sea surface level
Melting of ice at the north pole and south pole effect on sea levels. Sea level will rise. This can impact on the lowlands. Impact can be up to reduce the land area even drown.

3. Climate change or the weather gets extreme
NASA states that global warming resulting in climate change or the weather gets extreme. Over the past two years, rainfall is felt almost every day. There was hardly any dry season lately. In fact, in previous years the sun so stinging. The season seemed to have undergone a shift in time. Between rainy and dry season no longer can be predicted well. This resulted in losses for farmers, field farmers and salt farmers. Farmers' fields can not determine the planting season properly. Similarly, salt farmers are not able to determine the making time of salt due to the relentless rain shower.
The emergence of the storm is another phenomenon of global warming. Recently the United States hit by tornadoes hurricanes. Some time ago, China and Japan are also get the same phenomenon, that are the snow storms and hurricanes. Indonesia did not escape the phenomenon of strong winds.

Watch Out For Symptoms Of Cervical Cancer!

One of the biggest death caused by cervical cancer. In the world every two minutes in case of death caused by cervical cancer. What is cervical cancer? Cervical cancer is cancer that attacks the mouth of the uterus. Cervix is a cylindrical part of the uterus and is located in the pelvic cavity. Initially the cells in the cervix grow abnormally and uncontrollably and develop into cancer. This abnormal cell can disturb other cells.

As was said earlier that this is a cervical cancer then it is ascertained the sex of the sufferer. Indeed, this cancer attacks woman. No matter how the situation of sufferers. There are several factors that cause this disease. First, due to infection by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Second, due to sexually transmitted infections like syphilis. Third, the activity of smoking can be an trigger factor. Fourth, sexual intercourse and childbirth at an early age.

The growth of cervical cancer may be said to be very slow. The formation of this disease takes up to 10 years. In the early stages, the disease is not accompanied by symptoms. The initial symptoms of this disease is not perceived by patient. Therefore, patients often late know that he suffered from this disease.

Along with the development of abnormal cells, the symptoms begin to appear. Symptoms can be seen from abnormal vaginal bleeding. Bleeding occurred after the women perform a particular activity that is after sexual intercourse, cleanse the vagina, and pelvic examination. Levels of this bleeding can be a little bleeding and can also be a lot of bleeding. Other symptoms of cervical cancer is the presence of vaginal discharge that not soon heal and menstruation is long enough. Whitish formed liquid coming from vagina. If these fluids are too thick/thin, a lot, and stinking, it is suspect as a symptom of cervical cancer.

At an advanced stage, the symptoms are felt pain in the pelvic. The pain appears in the lower abdomen between the hip bone. In addition, pain when urinating or defecating, the presence of blood in urine or feces is another symptom of advanced-stage cervical cancer.

There are several ways that can do to prevent this disease is HPV immunization, avoiding stress, stop smoking, and loyal to the couple. In addition, checks reproductive health routinely. Besides to known reproductive health conditions, the formation of cancer cells can be avoided through the examination earlier

Eggs: The Nutrition And Its Benefit

Salted-Egg

 

Eggs

Eggs is an object-shelled which is produced by poultry (chicken, birds, and ducks). Aside from being a source of animal protein, eggs contain fats that are beneficial to the body. Each item consists of egg whites and egg yolk, each has a nutrient content that is not the same.

Inside the egg whites contained many proteins, including essential amino acids and albumin. While there are a lot of fat content (essential fatty acids and cholesterol) in egg yolk. The other nutrition like carbohydrate, vitamin A, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B complex, calcium, and antioxidants.

The nutrients contained in an egg is affected by the nutrient content of poultry feed. The variety of poultry feed can give influence, which is poultry have a better nutritional value. For example, poultry feed can be added to the fish. On the other side, the nutrients found in salted eggs slightly reduced when compared with the egg in general. This is because the addition of salt in salted eggs can damage the protein content of eggs.

How to cook a good egg needs attention. Eggs that are too ripe can cause damage to protein content. Maturity level can be ascertained from the color or layer of eggs. Eggs that are too ripe marked by the color is too brown, egg looks scorched if fried (omelette). Or look blue layer between egg white and yolk when eggs boiled.

In children and adolescents are encouraged to consume 2 to 3 eggs per week. This is very useful for the formation of cells so that help the process of growth. As for obese people who have a history of cardiovascular disease are advised to consume no more than 1 whole egg. This is because the cholesterol contained in egg yolk is high enough which is about 200-250 mg.

In addition to cooking, notice how consumption. For people who have weak immune system is not advisable to consume raw eggs because there is still a live bacteria and cause illness like thypus. Consumption of half-ripe eggs are not recommended because it is believed there are bacteria that have not died.

Really, consumption raw eggs is not prohibited, but select egg yolks. This is because egg whites contain avidin which can inhibit the absorption of vitamin B7. While vitamin B7 or commonly known as biotin serves to assist the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.

Besides the growth of body cells, eggs still have benefits such as bone growth, source of protein and fat in the formation of testosterone, health of the eye nerve, preventing cataract disease, improving the working of brain nerve, and reducing dementia.

Irony of A Stick of Cigarette

World Health Organization (WHO) had declared that every 6 seconds, one death due to tobacco. More than 80% of lung tumors occur due to smoking habits. Every year there are 1.3 million cases of lung cancer worldwide with 1.1 million deaths per year.

In essence, the existing material on tobacco is a poison that is not good to be consumed. When smoked, people suck so many toxins (chemicals) contained in cigarettes. The main toxins contained in cigarettes are tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide.

1. Tar is a hydrocarbon substance which is sticky and sticks to the lungs. This substance is a carcinogen that can lead to lung cancer.

2. Nicotine is the addictive substance which affects the nerves and blood circulation. Because of its addictive then nicotine causes dependence.

3. Carbon monoxide is a very strong affinity for hemoglobin so that oxygen levels in blood (especially for second-hand smoke) is reduced.

Dangers of tobacco products can not be underestimated. When these substances are accumulated, the effects include lung cancer, esophageal cancer, bladder cancer and cardiac attacks. Cigarettes also increase the risk of fatality for patients with pneumonia, high blood pressure, impotence, affects the foetus (womb). It is clear that these cigarettes damage health and dangerous for the salvation of the soul.

Most people (including active smokers) agreed that smoking is a health-damaging products. Cigarette is harmful and deadly. It is an ironic, active smokers can not break away from cigarettes. Indeed cliched, but that's the facts that occurred. Not a few people who makes the poison as a "basic needs". Once we know the basic needs of human are food, clothing, and shelter. Now the smokers add to the list of basic needs with something that should not staple, something that is essentially a poison. Cigarette seems to be a part of the culture. Imagine! Currently, smoking has become the property of all circles, not only adults, the children were more frequently found was busy smoking cigarettes. Not only the men, women also do not hesitate anymore to smoke in public area.

Slightest level of nicotine that is contained in a cigarette, cigarette remains toxic. The smoker was piling up toxins in the body that can damage the body, fast or slow. Own lungs were damaged when many people struggle to treat the lungs, while so many people willing to use a pump organ of cardiac to sustain its life. Ruin is much easier than cure.

The Cause of Global Warming

Global warming is a global issue which is still interesting to be discussed today. Consciously or not, lately the weather becomes erratic, sometimes very hot and sometimes very heavy rain. Now the season is not clear. Not only that, natural disaster become uncontrollable. And natural phenomena also becoming emerging. The issue of environmental degradation, air pollution, flooding, wind putting pickaxe, storms tornadoes, earthquakes, gas blast to erratic rainfall that has the world community aware that nature is no longer friendly with humans. These signs of nature that shows that earth's getting old, increasingly problematic, and result in damage.

Research conducted by experts showed that the heat of the earth is related with greenhouse gases generated by human activity. Several types of greenhouse gases directly responsible for warming the planet. How do greenhouse gases affect the earth? Most of the greenhouse gases produced by motor vehicles, factories, farms, and power generation. Withdrawn if the red yarn, then the man who to be the cause of all this. Human give largest contributions to the creation of greenhouse gases. Human activity has caused the earth to heat.

Earth's atmosphere consists of various gases with different functions. Gas group which keeps the temperature of earth's surface to keep warm is known by the term "greenhouse gases". So called because these gases in earth's atmosphere is similar to the workings of the greenhouse that serves to hold the hot sun in order to the temperature inside the greenhouse to keep warm. This resulted the plants can grow well because obtaining sufficient radiation from the sun.

Basically, the greenhouse gas is needed to maintain life on earth. Without greenhouse gases, the earth was too cold for human life. This is due to the absence of layers that isolate of the sun's heat. Know! Mars has no greenhouse gases, air temperature is -320 C.

The gases that cause global warming today is carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) which comes from agriculture and animal husbandry, nitrogen oxide (NO) derived from fertilizer and gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners (Chlorofluorocarbons/CFC). The destruction of forests also contributed. Now many forests that have been damaged by illegal logging and fires. Forest are no longer performs its function well as a store of CO2. In these circumstances, the forest is consist of dead plant releases CO2 into the atmosphere.

Minimize The Risk of Cardiac Attack

Cardiac is one of the vital organs. The cardiac is an organ that formed the earliest and most recent death. Cardiac function as the central of blood circulation. Normally, the cardiac is able to work for 80 continuous years. Every day the heart pumps 8064 liters of blood throughout the body.

Some factors that cause cardiac disease is a less healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle is like smoking and lack of movement or sports. In addition, weight gain and excess abdominal circumference can be a trigger of cardiac disease. A number of other diseases such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes give adverse impact on cardiac health.

Improvement of risk of cardiac disease occurs in more than 45 years of age for men and more than 55 years for women. Risk factors that can not be changed are the descendants of cardiac patients from the family line of men at age less than 55 years and the family line of women at age below 65 years.

The symptoms of a cardiac attack is characterized by pain in the chest, head feel empty, appears cold sweat, and stomach feels uncomfortable. When to see these signs need to be wary of.

Preventive efforts can be done by balancing the health of body and soul. If the gain problems or get stress that no need too worry. When confront the problems, do not think a protracted! Assume the problems as the small pebble that slightly disturbing journey of life. Confront the problem proportionally. Meanwhile, the health body can be maintained through regular physical activity and measured (sports) and good nutrition.

To minimize the risk of cardiac attack, need to be kept the rules of consumption. Good eating should be on schedule, type, and amount of food. Good schedule follow eating habits that exist in society and of course, adheres to the rules prevailing in the world of health that is 3 times a day. Good eating also should be on time, each has a different time (morning, afternoon, and evening). Do not let late to eat despite how busy! And do not combine a meal in the morning with lunch or lunch with the afternoon!

For this type of food need to be considered the fulfillment of elements 55-65% carbohydrate, 10-15% protein, and 5% fat. Carbohydrates are recommended to be consumed is a complex carbohydrates that is rice in and derived from cereals (herbaceous plants that seeds can be eaten like rice and wheat), the starchy, vegetables, fruits, and tubers. Complex carbohydrates that contain fiber such as pectin can not only lower cholesterol but also the risk of cardiac disease.

Finally, regarding the amount of food. For the amount of food must be adapted to the needs. The energy that comes in must equal to energy out.

Averrhoa Carambola And Its Benefit

Averrhoa Carambola is a form of tree fruit originating from the region of Malaysia, then spread to many other tropical countries in the world, including Indonesia. In general, this tree grows as a shade plant in the yard of home or garden. It has compound leaves whose length can reach 50 cm, pink flowers that usually appear at the end of the limb, branches and can grow up to 5 metres.

Unlike other tropical plants, this tree does not need much sunlight. Spread very broad, because the seeds spread by bees. Fruit is coloured greenish yellow. When growth, fruit is coloured green. If cut, this fruit has section shaped a star, small seeds and brown. This fruit contains a lot of vitamin A & C. Indeed, this fruit is sweet taste and slightly sour. Generally the fruit is not only used as a mixed salad, juice or eaten directly, but also useful in maintain health.

Carambola has a high nutrient content that are beneficial to the body. In 100 grams of cooked contains energy 35 cal, protein 50 grams, fat 70 grams, carbohydrates 7.70 grams, calcium 8 mg, fiber 0.90 grams, vitamin A 18 RE, vitamin C 33 mg, and niacin 0.40 grams.

Carambola that exist in society there are two main types.
1. Averrhoa Carambola with great shape, approximately fistful hands of adults. It has a wavy shape like star and greenish yellow colored. People call as star fruits. Its taste various, when fully ripe, it will be sweet with a slightly sour taste.
Averrhoa carambola is full of nutrition, contains antioxidant can against free radicals and increase endurance of body. This fruit is also rich in pectin. Its pectin able to ensnare cholesterol and prevent hepatitis. In addition, it is efficacious to relieve a variety of diseases, like diabetes, cholesterol, cough, throat sore and fever. Vitamin C content is high enough also believed to be the cure for cancer. The flowers are purple believed efficacious to treat malaria. The leaves are lush efficacious for treating stomachache, hypertension, ulcer diseas, and paved the urine. The roots of plants to treat rheumatic diseases. And fiber is beneficial facilitate the digestive process.

2. The second type commonly called as vegetables averrhoa. This kind often found in vegetable dishes, used for seasoning dishes, especially to give a sour taste in cooked food. The shape is much smaller than averrhoa carambola, no more than the fingers of adults. It coloured light green.
