"Ma, I Want baseball pee in Situ"

02.56

RUNY (5) is a child who jijikan. So much so that little girls can not pee in the toilet if not as clean a toilet in her own home. This is of course inconvenient Riri, the Mama. Once, when a walk to the mall, Runy want to pee.

Because there smelly toilets, dirty, Runy not want to pee and whine to go home. Riri finally bring home Runy, when they had arrived at the mall. Is your baby as well as Runy?

For you are experiencing the same thing like Riri, narrative Farah Farida Tantiani MPsi, Psychologist of Peach Blossoms preschool & Kindergarten the following can help you cope:

Habit and Imitation Factor

Disgust is the behavior of the reactive nature of the body to prevent. When he saw the filthy things that the body will feel disgusted as a nervous response from the brain that there was a potential threat of bacteria if not avoided. This feeling positive but if excessive, even troublesome both for themselves and others.

Actually, this behavior is learned from the environment. Humans learn something by looking at other people doing it. In children, they also learn about the cleanliness of the adults around them. For example, caregivers or adults in a nearby used if you want to pee (urinate) or defecate (BAB) must be in a place that is clean, then it will be studied and imitated by children. Only the adult threshold of tolerance has been more developed, so that if pressed adults can still urinate or defecate in the bathroom with dirty conditions. While the children can not.

Apart from adults, children also learn through television broadcasts are seen. This also could lead to an association process. Suppose the child saw his idol or figure he often watched did not want to use a dirty bathroom with a reluctant look on the face, then this could also studied and imitated by children. He also became disgusted or unhappy with the dirty-dirty.

Search Know Why

First, find out first what causes children to feel disgusted or uncomfortable to use a dirty toilet (use language that is not a mengintrogasi friends, also do not show the attitude of anger or force, but rather to persuade and show that parents understand the child's discomfort).

Then, give the sense in accordance with the language of children and examplize expected behavior. For example he was afraid of going to the bathroom dirty. As parents give the sense that there's nothing wrong entrance, dirty bathroom, take some tissues to wipe provided so that it can more thoroughly before use. Or pack enough water if the toilet is less water.

In addition to comfortable, parents can also teach how to prevent transmission of disease. Of course parents have to 'jump' directly to give an example with convincing facial expressions. Do not just tell without giving examples.

Modified Kok Still Can!

Human adaptation equipped with skills so they can "survive" in various situations. Thus, the nature of this jijikan still be changed. Obviously this is done with full understanding, patient, consistent and gradual.

Do not expect too quickly in changing the behavior of children who feel disgusted about something, that behavior will change gradually as long as parents want to be consistent to help the child.

Give a reward every time he does things that are expected, because of course this will be made to repeat these actions are expected. (

Time for Dental Health Care

02.54

RESEARCH by the Ministry of Health says more than 70 percent of the population of Indonesia is experiencing caries or cavities. This fact shows the awareness of society to pay attention to dental health is very low.

Cavities are still a problem for the Indonesian people. Health Research Association in 2007 found that dental caries or tooth decay attack or suffered by approximately 72.1 percent of the population of Indonesia. Furthermore, in the last 12 months was found to be 23.4 percent of Indonesian people complained about the problem on the teeth and mouth.

Of these, only 29.6 percent who seek help and get treatment from health workers. The figures outlined in the study indicate that there is still a very low level of community awareness and utilization rate of medical staff services dental health.

This is justified by Sony DR Swasonoprijo drg Sport. According to Sony, most patients who come to the clinic complaining about tooth cavities. "Many patients who come to the dentist only when sick. Especially if they have dental disease severe enough, "said Sony.

Meanwhile, Sony said, advised to check their teeth to the dentist at least once just six months into the discourse. "Indonesian people that if my teeth hurt baseball that baseball came. However, if the illness is severe, more troublesome. Better to prevent than cure, "Sony added.

Internal research conducted by Unilever in 2007 further strengthens Sony's statement. At least there are only 5.5 percent of Indonesia's dental health checked regularly to the dentist.

Still according to the Basic Health Research Report 2007, a total of 91.1 percent of Indonesian people aged over 10 years, despite already brushed my teeth every day, but only by 7.3 percent which had been brushing your teeth correctly, in the morning after breakfast and at night before sleep.

Indeed, so important for dental health. Nevertheless, very low attention given by the community towards dental health. As a result, many Indonesian people who ultimately vulnerable to dental disease, as demonstrated through the results of research conducted by the Public Health Service, where more than 70 percent of the population of Indonesia is experiencing caries or cavities. This fact is staggering, the results of this study indicate that public awareness of dental health remains low.

According drg Anggraeni Zaura MDS, as Chairman PDGI, poor quality of dental health among the Indonesian people worry a lot. From the Basic Health Research Report 2007 found cases of oral and dental disease in 72.1 percent of the population of Indonesia with an average 4.85 percent damaged teeth per person.

From an average of nearly 5 percent of tooth decay, only one percent are successfully treated or filled, the remaining approximately 25 percent ih in a state with holes, "And more than 75 percent of teeth that hole is allowed or not receive care or be revoked so that the decay because it was too severe, "said Unilever Zaura in the event the Partnership, Indonesian Dentists Association (PDGI) and the Association of Faculty of Dentistry, Indonesia (AFDOKGI) for Dental and Oral Health, recently.

Zaura added, this situation is still the lack of reflection on dental health services that can be accessed by the public. Zaura also agreed on the importance of directing efforts to prevent damage and maintain healthy teeth stay healthy. Obviously this is far more effective and efficient in reducing the number kepenyakitan and burdens arising from the teeth and mouth disease is not treated.

One way to reduce the number of dental disease, it can be done with the socialization of the correct way of brushing your teeth. This was agreed by the Chairman of the Commission on Dental Public Health at Asia Pacific Dental Federation (APDF) for the period 2010-2012, drg Rini. Unfortunately, the community still do not know exactly that the correct way of brushing teeth is important because it increases the body's resistance to dental disease.

Reflecting the fact that there is in society, through Unilever's Pepsodent brand, along with PDGI and AFDOKGI, signed a cooperation in order to educate and introduce the dental services to the public through the National Dental Health Month activities in 2010. Namely with the recently launched initiatives to raise public awareness of dental health during this July at the 13 faculty of dentistry at a university in Indonesia.

Beware of degenerative diseases in old age!

02.53

Enjoy old age with good health physically, mentally, and socially would be every man's dream. However, whether we can successfully pass through youth and adults to then prepare for old age like that picture? The answer, certainly not an easy thing.

Based on Household Health Survey (SKRT year 2000), life expectancy is 72 years of Indonesian society. This means that many of Indonesian man who is able to reach the age of 72 years. Still, that does not mean at that age free of disease.

"Old age is not necessarily separated from the aspects of physical, mental and psychological or social," said a specialist Andrology, Faculty of Medicine Gadjah Mada University, Dr. Dicky Moch Rizal, Sp.And., AIFM, M. Kes, in Creating a Healthy Lifestyle Seminar At Dusk Age In the degenerative process which was held GMC Health Center in the space R Margono Suradji Faculty of Dentistry, Saturday (07/03/2010).

Physical aspects in the elderly, continued Dickky, marked by the emergence of a degenerative process or a decrease in function or changes in the structure of the whole organ.

If this degenerative process heavier, it is not impossible that old age will be filled with various activities of medical complaints or illnesses that arise such as diabetes, hypertension or heart and blood vessel disease, auto immune, infection or dilipidemia.

"The emergence of various diseases that will affect all aspects of life, including sexuality and ended with the decline kulitas life," he explained.

On that occasion, Dicky suggested several steps that can be done to prevent and overcome a number of complaints from degenerative problems in old age, that is through simple efforts independently and medical efforts.

Independent simple efforts exemplified through healthy nutrition rich in antioxidants, exercise, no stress and no smoking. While the medical efforts could be through the provision of insulin and hormone replacement therapy.

"Preventive step we can do better with simple self-effort and medical efforts," added Dicky.

Dr Probosuseno Meanwhile, SpPD, KGer, FINASIM, from Sub Bag Geriatric Medicine Science Section FK UGM / SMF Geriatric Sardjito Hospital in Yogyakarta, said the appearance of disease in older age is often unclear, chronic, many endogenous, hidden, multiple, progressive, does not provide immunity, in fact even more susceptible to disease, and can lead to defects long before the occurrence of death.

Agreed with Dicky, Probosuseno also mentioned, some degenerative disease that often appear in elderly patients such as high blood pressure, constriction of blood vessels, cancer, diabetes (diabetes mellitus / DM), porous bone, and gall stones.

"Sometimes it's from the diseases in the elderly is often not clear, could result in disability before the occurrence of death," said Probosuseno.

Especially with regard to diabetes or diabetes mellitus, Probosuseno say could be prevented in order not to arise with the alert all the factors that affect it, such as heredity, obesity, until the excess nutrients. In addition, treatment can be done best, in order to avoid preventable complications despite being sick. If it is so preventable complications occur in order to avoid further disability.

"Like with the eye check every 6-12 months, chest photograph every 1-2 years, each one year ECG, routine urine check and check feet regularly," he added.

It would be more efficient and effective achievement of these expectations are also reflected a kind of community people with DM (diabetisi) called PERSADIA (Association Diabetisi Indonesian) whose organization already exists to the national level. Similarly, the need for each health care institution has educators Diabetes or if it could all Diabetes Center

Cellulite-Fighting Foods

02.52

Cellulite and stretch marks is the specter of beauty for women. Moreover, the research states that there is no beauty treatment that can eliminate cellulite and stretch marks 100%, but only a disguise.

Beauty experts say that regular exercise and diet is the best solution to overcoming cellulite white lines, besides taking care to use topical products such as lotions and creams antiselulit.

Nevertheless, the results of a recent study conducted the American Dietetic Association suggests that there are three types of foods that can help prevent the occurrence of cellulite.

"Including certain foods that moisturize the skin, build collagen, and prevent the buildup of fat into your healthy diet, can help prevent the formation of cellulite," said Christine Gerbstadt MD, spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, Florida.

Here are the three types of foods and beverages that can make the skin healthy, fresh, and of course avoid the appearance of cellulite.

1. Serelia high fiber / whole grains

Complex carbohydrates such as sugary cereals, white bread, white rice and even more quickly converted into glucose, causing insulin jumped dramatically. Substantial increases are sending signals to the body to store fat instead of burning it.

As a result, all the new fat and excess fat cells make full so encouraging connective tissue is stronger than usual and look lumpy.

Therefore, avoid eating refined carbohydrates. Sebalinya, choose wholegrain products such as brown rice, oatmeal, and corn meal that will not make your blood sugar up and down quickly. For starters, replace half of the six servings of carbohydrate per day with wholegrain products.

2. Colorful vegetables

Lona Sandon RD, Dietic Association of American researchers say, colorful vegetables rich in vitamin C which is important to prevent damage to collagen. The supporting structure of skin collagen is a form of network strands that penetrate the skin layer of fat on the underlying muscle.

If the string is weakened, the skin loses its elasticity and fat can be prominent on the skin, creating a wavy layer beneath more obvious or better known as orange peel phenomenon. In addition, excessive sun exposure can also damage collagen.

Research in Arazona State University shows, vitamin C can help burn up more than 30% fat during exercise. Therefore, make sure you get vitamin C intake of at least 75 milligrams per day, mainly of colorful vegetables.

3. White water

As has been widely known, white water good for health. The reason, well-hydrated skin will look more supple and healthy. In areas prone to cellulite, such as the thighs and buttocks, supple skin that could cover up the fat cells beneath it better.

For that, make sure you eat 8 / 12 glasses of water per day. If it is not too fond drink, aids adequate fluid intake by eating water-rich fruits like apples, grapes, and cucumbers.

As a plus, eating fruit as a snack also helps to reduce waist circumference and weight loss

When Eyes "Talking"

02.51

CONDITIONS abnormal eye happens to someone turned out may be a sign of severe disease. Therefore, continued to control the state of your eyes on a regular basis is appropriate prevention efforts.

Proverbial eyes as "windows to the soul" sounds like it has been obsoleted. However, until now it has been proven true. The situation turned out the eyes can be a reference if someone is suffering from health problems. Not only related to eye disorders like cataracts or glaucoma, but also other systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and heart.

Sometimes, the signs of the disease is visible on the inside, outside, or around the eye, long before the disease symptoms appear. "Eyes really like a real property is unique," said Andrew Iwach, MD, clinical professor of ophthalmology at the University of California at San Francisco, United States.

"The eye is the only place in the human body where you can see the nerves, arteries, and veins, directly without making any incision surgery process. And symptoms of disease that we see through the eyes may occur throughout the body, "says Iwach who also served as Executive Director of the Glaucoma Center in San Francisco, United States, as quoted page webmd.com.

List of systemic diseases that can be seen from the eye condition was quite long. In addition to diabetes and cardiovascular disease, including aneurysm, HIV / AIDS, cancer and hereditary disease that rarely happens. Therefore, the eye doctor to recommend someone to check his eyes periodically.

"Everyone has to run comprehensive tests on the eye before the age of 40 years," said Ruth D Williams, MD, an ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist at the Wheaton, Illinois, United States. He also like Iwach, served as spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

"People who have had a family history of eye disease can usually be easily detected as soon as possible. And anyone who experience eye problems should immediately see a doctor. No need to wait until we experience the symptoms to the doctor because many eye diseases are not known, which means without symptoms, "he continued.

Some eye conditions associated systemic diseases, can only be seen by a specialist trained in eye during test execution. Other diseases commonly found on all people. Here are mentioned a number of eye signs of the most common and what they want to "tell" about your health.

First, the eyes are red. Parts of the outer layer of transparent eye, commonly called the conjunctiva, are fed by many small blood vessels. If the broken blood vessels, blood can pool in a white wet the eye (sclera). A subconjunctival hemorrhage is-as it is known in medical circles, can be caused by a hard blow to the eye. But in many cases, have no obvious cause.

"However, in rare cases, subconjunctival hemorrhage may be a sign of severe disease of high blood pressure or platelet disorders, which can interfere with blood clotting," explained Williams.

Then, the eyes that looked wide-eyed. Although this may be the prominent eyes of the influence of family descent, eye conditions like this may be evidence of thyroid disease. Abnormal levels of thyroid hormone causes tissue around the eyes to swell, creating the impression that such glaring eyes. Eyelid drop (droopy Eyelid) is also one of the signs of this penyakit.Keadaan known among doctors as ptosis, which could be due to the aging process. But in rare cases, this is evidence of a brain tumor terserangnya or neuromuscular disease known as myasthenia gravis (MG).

Iwach words, MG is an autoimmune disorder that weakens the muscles throughout the body. Other eye conditions become symptoms of the disease is an unusual location of the pupil. Healthy people usually have a symmetrical layout pupils, but did not always. They are usually the same size and showed the same reaction when exposed to light.

If one pupil looks bigger than the other or if one is slower to react when terpijar light, there may be underlying medical problems. According to Peter Kastl MD, PhD, a professor at Tulane University School eyes of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, the possibility that signs of a stroke, brain, or optic nerve tumors, brain aneurysms, syphilis, and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Finally, he explained, many drugs, including drugs, which could make the pupils become smaller or larger. Black spots like the ring on the cornea can also be the sign of the disease. A disorder that often occurs due to genetics is known as Wilson's disease that can cause copper substances accumulate in various tissues, including brain and liver.

Sometimes the pile of copper in the eyes of these substances are located on the inner surface of the cornea (although some experts claimed could occur in the iris, iris surrounding the pupil). Syndrome, also known as "Kayser-Fleischer rings" itself is not dangerous. But without proper treatment, Wilson's disease can be fatal.

One other condition that is thick eyelids. In very rare cases, a thickening or deformation of the eyelid is a sign of neurofibromatosis, which is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by the growth of tumors along nerve fibers (tumor itself is called plexiform neurofibromas).

Joseph Merrick, the UK figures from the 19th century known as the Elephant Man, has long been suspected of having neurofibromatosis. However, experts now believe that he was suffering from another disease that rarely affects known as the proteus syndrome.

Yellow eyes are also known to be a sign of disease. Liver disease, including hepatitis and cirrhosis, can be known from scleras, namely the white membrane that turned into a yellow eye. This color is caused by a buildup of bilirubin, a compound created by the splitting of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in red blood cells. The medical term for a yellow eye is scleral icterus, although not scleras the yellow, but the conjunctiva.

Eye Diseases & Symptoms

02.49

CONDITIONS abnormal eye happens to someone turned out may be a sign of severe disease. Therefore, continued to control the state of your eyes on a regular basis is appropriate prevention efforts.

The following diseases and symptoms in the eye you should know:


Hypertension / High blood pressure

This condition puts an additional burden on the heart and blood vessels that increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure causes damage to blood vessels in the retina. The ophthalmologist will look at such a bite in the blood vessels in which they attack each other or bleeding behind the retina of the eye.


High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a fatty substance in blood that can increase the risk of heart attack. Symptoms are seen in the eyes of the pieces can detach from cholesterol deposits in the body and into the blood vessels into the retina. The ophthalmologist will look yellowish small blockage in the arteries. Looks too thin white line that circles the colored part of the eye that is because the cholesterol deposited in the iris of the eye.


Brain tumor

Dalah tumor tissue growth that can cause cancer (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). Symptoms are seen in the eyes of the swelling of the optic nerve can be a sign of possible brain tumor.


Thyroid disease

Thyroid gland in the neck produces hormones that regulate metabolism. The disease can diebabkan by something too much or too little, depending on the problem. Ocular symptoms can usually be seen from the eyeball is bulging or protruding.


Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disability that can cause various symptoms of fatigue to memory problems. Symptoms seen in the eyes of them have swelling of the optic nerve, blurred vision and sensitivity to light.


Diabetes

Diabetes is caused by too much sugar in the blood that can increase your risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. High blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina, causing leakage of blood and fat.

Processing & Aseptic UHT sterilization, Keep the Quality of Fresh Milk

02.47

NON humans, milk is also preferred by microbes. To prevent this destruction by the bacteria of milk, UHT sterilization was undertaken with aseptic processing.

Viewed from the type of milk consumed, the Indonesian people consume UHT milk liquid in the form of 4.6 percent (118.5 thousand tons), milk sterile 2.7 per cent (69 thousand tons), pasteurized milk 1.2 per cent (30 thousand tons) and the most widely consumed, namely in the form of powdered milk (43.3 percent). The reason for powdered milk is more durable so it is more economical. Aseptic Processing of a solution to the problem of resistance to milk.

Milk is one of the most important food in adequate nutritional needs of children, especially for growth. Milk is known as one of nutritious food. No wonder if the microbes were like him. And when it's controlled by microbes, milk becomes easily damaged.

So many "enemy" that attacked the milk from the farm to the consumer, namely vegetative cells, spores, pathogens (bad bacteria), yeast (yeast), molds, and viruses. Critical points or issues that arise, including the cleanliness of livestock (feed / cow health, milk quality), transport conditions, processing conditions, quality of packaging (process, material handling), storage conditions, the condition of the distribution or display, at storage conditions households, and conditions when consumed.

In essence, microbes can not grow if the environment is not supportive. Microbes can also die if the environmental conditions created extreme.

"Environmental conditions of microbes that can be controlled, including temperature, acidity (pH), nutrient availability, water availability, and availability of oxygen. That's why, for example, yogurt is more durable than fresh milk because the acidity levels are controlled, such as milk powder, which is more durable because of its water content is reduced, "explained Purwiyatno Hariyadi of Southeast Asian Food & Agricultural Science & Technology (SEAFAST) Center on Media Seminar on Tetra Pak "Fresh Milk Just Me" at Hotel Mulia, Senayan, Jakarta, recently.

Some of the ways commonly used to prolong the freshness of food products, such as refrigeration, freezing, heating, drying, addition of acid, the addition of preservatives, set the atmosphere, irradiation, and others.

Heating (high temperature) has been used by humans in his life since man discovered fire, including to increase the age of dairy products. Milk bottles are contained in the container, and then sterilized (heated in a high milk) until it is ready distributed. Unfortunately, the heating process in this high temperature causes a change in taste, color, texture, flavor, and so forth.

"Heating at higher temperatures more effectively to kill microbes, but it can damage the quality and nutrition. In contrast, heating at lower temperatures, does not damage the quality and nutrition, but less effective for killing microbes, "he added.

Therefore, affirmed Purwiyatno, the technology required to reach high temperatures and also declined faster than traditional sterilization processes. UHT sterilization technology is (Ultra High Temperature) with aseptic processing. Aseptic processing and packaging is heating the milk separately, then filled into packs of milk. Filling of sterile products in sterile packaging, made in a sterile environment, then the result, in the packaging of sterile products.

In addition to effectively kill microbes, UHT sterilization by aseptic processing also ensures the nutritional value of food products. And after than, the level of damage after UHT sterilization process is smaller than usual sterilization (heating in the bottle).

And after sterilization is done well, were exposed Purwiyatno further, there are three conditions that must be met in order to maintain product freshness, ie sufficient heat treatment, packaging and pengkeliman (sealing) packaging in hermetic (sealed), and with good packaging handling with ensuring the integrity and closing the connection is maintained before, during, and after heating.

"It is important to control the temperature and time. But not enough because the conditions must also be considered thereafter. If that had been sterilized milk was left open, then the microbes come again. Here the importance of packaging. Packaging with a sealed container to prevent re-contamination. After that, all the packaging does not leak, the microbes will not grow, the milk will still be preserved, "he said.

Second, multiplying eat plant foods are vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes. Increasing the consumption of seafood that is free of fat and low-fat milk, and eating poultry meat and eggs to taste. Third, significantly reducing the intake of foods containing sugars and solid fats, which contribute about 35 percent of calories. Reduce sodium intake gradually to 1500 milligrams per day.

Fourth, to comply with the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans 2008. They recommended that adults get at least 2.5 hours of medium intensity physical activity each week, such as brisk walking, or 1 hour 15 minutes more heavy activity, like jogging or swimming. Children and adolescents should do an hour or more to the strong intensity of physical activity every day.
