Baby Born Caesar Need Probiotic

cesarbabyMikroflora or   microorganism (bacteria and fungi) plays an important role in the formation of resistance the body of the baby. However, the baby who was born in Caesar , the establishment of colonization digested delayed so that the channel  increase the risk of allergic disease and infection to the age of five years. Therefore, the probiotic  needed to help improve the baby’s body resistance.
“Probiotic such as Bifidobacterium  lactis proven safe for the baby so that it can help increase the body resistance,” said Head Gastrohepatologi Division of the Department of Child Health Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia Firmansyah Agus, in a seminar for the media.

According to some studies, the existence of a baby born on bifidobacteria  caesar  will be delayed and may take up to six months compared to infants of normal birth. Or beneficial bacteria such as bifidobakteria  obtained at the beginning of the birth is necessary to recognize and form the oxygen-tolerance of foreign substances into the body.

Bifidobakteria dominance in the channel associated with indigestion health of both babies. The importance of good bacteria peranana this explains why the baby was born in Caesar   figures  have been reported incidents of infection and allergy is higher than the normal baby is born.

Prof. Bengt Bjorksten from Karolinska Institutet Sweden explain, conditions such as early birth is the birth and the use of antibiotic, have very large effects on the pattern of digested microflora channel. Digested Microflora channel is very important to stimulate the body resistance system in normal conditions.

Research conducted by Prof. Bengt Bjorksten in 2001 proved, babies terukti allergic patients have fewer bifidobacteria  on  feces or their feces. This is still visible until they are five years old. Several studies in the last 10 years also proved, striking differences in the composition healthy microbiotic  and allergic infants in countries with low prevalence of allergy and high.

Probiotik the use or non-pathogenic microorganisms that are useful for positive health, including the baby who was born in caesar. Probiotik in children focused on the prevention of diarrhea and then a new allergy. P is 1994, pirateque and colleagues reported a decrease in the number of events number of diarrhea in children treated at the hospital who were given probiotik comparison group who did not get probiotik.

“The probiotik useful to increase the number of bifidobakteria dissolved in the channel, reducing the risk of diarrhea and allergy. Probiotik The fact that it is safe to be given to infants and children indicates that the probiotik be useful for children with channel interference mikroflora dissolved, including those caesar born, “said Agus affirm.

So far, probiotic  best source for baby is breast milk. Probiotic also contained in several products, including milk drinks formula.

“Even given every day, not a bad probiotic  have side effects or negative for children who consumption  prebiotic  it will be removed from the body,” said Agus added.

Caution, Hot Water Make Fast Skin wrinkles!

cautionhotwatersDo NOT use the bathroom too often hot water if you do not want the skin to become dry and wrinkled. Hot water according to Dr. Tina Wardhani Wisesa, Sp.KK will eliminate a layer of oil so that the evaporation of water from the skin will be more. As a result, the skin will feel dry and more easily cause wrinkles on the hands and feet. If they take place within a fairly long time, probably will not happen early aging.
In addition to the use of hot water, said Dr. Tina, the influence of sunlight, air humidity, the formation of free radicals, systemic disease, malnutrition, stress, a decrease in body weight too fast and the wrong skin care are also factors outside the network that can damage the skin.

In fact, skin care itself is not too difficult. The problem is, many people still do the wrong treatment, for example, such as the use of cosmetics that are used not in accordance with the type of skin. A person with dry skin, for example, using solvents with a high alcohol content, so add dry skin.

Skin care area, according to Dr. Tina should be performed since the early, orderly and properly done to slow the aging process. How to start with clean, damp skin and protect the face and body. “The use of moisturizer in the air-conditioned rooms are intended to maintain the water level in the skin that does not exit. Especially when the skin dry. While for the protection is to use sun block to filter out ultraviolet rays that come to the skin, “explained Dr. Tina. In addition, nutritious food, exercise, rest and stress also does not become part of a skin treatment to stay healthy.

Back at the secret kiss

kissIn valentine day yesterday, a panel discussion held scientists. Self-interest issues discussed, not far from the problems of love, that is, the mystery at the heart terpaut embedded in the mouth and lips (kiss).

Experts said that, action will be followed by a smack release chemical substances-substances that can be muted stress hormones. “Chemical compound in the saliva could be a way to assess the pair,” said Wendy Hill, professor of Neuroscience expert Lafayette College during the event titled the American Association for the Advancement of Science held.

In an experiment, Hill explained, the pair heterosexual college students who are experiencing changes in the chemical compound Oxitocin degree cortisolnya and when they do kiss scenes for 15 minutes while listening to music.

Oxitocin, Hill said, affect the closeness relationship pair, while cortisol associated with stress. Chemical compound in the blood and salivary gland ago be examined before and after the kiss lasted.

Both men and women decreased after osculation cortisol degree, indicate degree stress also decreased.

For men, while osculation, increased of oksitosin level  mark up for a strong partner, while the women okcitosinnya thus decreased. “Of this staggering,” said Hill.

In a pilot group that examine the effects hold hands, chemical changes also occur in this action, but not many that can be disclosed or results not far different. This experiment, Hill said, is done in the student health center at the college. He repeated the plan will be designed “in a more romantic atmosphere.”

Together with Helen Fisher of Rutgers University and Donald Lateiner from Ohio University, Hill spoke at a session entitled “The Science of Kissing.”

Fisher own records, more than 90 percent of the world do people kiss.  This action belived has three components, among others, encouraged sex, romantic love, and bound with someone.

Encouragement sex encourage someone to assess and determine the pair each, while romantic love cause they focus on an individual, and being bound to someone, he said, to make someone leave this in the private long time raising a child together.

Men, he said, tend to think that smell is the initial of the sex activities or ovulation. He mentioned that men tend to prefer any smell. However, men testosterone consist chemical compound can be mixed in the saliva of women. Testosteron increase sexual encouragement for men and women.

“When you smell, in particular the brain active,” he added. Romantic love can take a long time, “If you kiss the right person.”

Lateiner, classical scientist, observation smell that sometimes appear in the Greek and Roman art, although it is widely done in addition to the smell of someone skin. Therefore, it is potentially dangerous for the life of someone if the kiss is done on the wrong people and less time doing it.

In general, the science of smell-philematology-still running. Likewise knot Hill.
