"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.

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.

Aligning Herbal Body Function

02.40

HERBAL not only be used as a traditional herb that can be consumed for good health. Herb also worked to align the body functions.

Today, people rarely take advantage of the properties of herbs. In fact, if we know, is a storehouse for herbal health. It said an expert who is also a naturopathic physician, Dr. Siregar H dr Amarullah FBIHom, DIHom, DNMed, Msc, MA, PhD, that the average person prefers to treat the pain without having to remove the tip of the root causes of illness.

Amarullah said many people still have the wrong paradigm of treatment. Generally, each event of a complaint, they immediately treated, but the root of the problem is not searchable. If only a cure, it does not eradicate the roots of disease. Thus, the source of the illness should be sought so that they can look for a solution.

High blood pressure, for example. This disease generally only be appeased or stabilized with medication. In fact, the roots are in kidney disease and organ that is supposed to be restored vitality. "The paradigm we should be modified, not medication but have healed," said the heart specialist is currently attending a seminar themed "Healthy with Herbs" held PT Deltomed Laboratories, in Jakarta, some time ago.

Amarullah explained, that our body actually awakened by the unity which all systems are interconnected. So if there is one part of the sick, the healthy side should be empowered.

In this case, the concept is balance. "Precisely in times of pain, any part of a healthy body should be empowered to help the sick," said the doctor was born 19 September 1960.

In the uncertain weather conditions that occur now due to the impact of global warming, are we supposed to guard against escape from disease, from mild to severe illness, such as a disease frequently encountered daily, such as flu or colds.

"The condition of excellence required to survive at any time and prevents the entry of disease," said the doctor who earned a lot of the health of Americans. Data from research American Health Coaches Association (AHCA) stated that the human body in tiptop condition or health is said in just two days a week. The rest upon a variety of ailments such as colds, headaches, sore.

Doctors who pursue herbal medicine (naturopathic) believed that this herb to harmonize the system of human body, should be consumed is something natural, such as herbs. Herbs have the ability to improve the overall system and work up to a range of cell and molecular.

In fact, Hippocrates (Father of Medicine) has ever claimed that it is only natural ability to repair and in accordance with the conditions of the human body. That is why, the role of natural medicine using herbs believed to be the most appropriate treatment. Because, herballah can align functions with the ill body to restore its vitality.

"Work is analogous to the philosophy of herbal postman. Efficacy of herbal plants will be sent to the organs that need it, while the organs that are not needed will not enter, "he said.

Amarullah still say, that modern medicine aims to treat more symptoms of the disease, but does not cure the source. Unlike the case with herbal medicine has a holistic approach between body, mind and soul. Although traditional medicine should be consumed in the long term and does not give immediate effects such as modern medicine, the healing effect remains the same.

"Treatment with herbs is not hostile to modern medicine. However, conventional medicine can still be used for acute conditions, but thereafter can be treated with herbs to restore vitality diseased organs, "he explained.

However, it does not mean all plants in nature are safe to eat. To note is how the treatment. In addition, consumers also should pay attention to how cooking up ways to consume.

For comparison, the consumption of milk in India reached 42.8 liters per capita per year, Malaysia and the Philippines reached 22.1 liters per capita per year, Thailand reach 31.7 liters per capita per year, even Vietnam was still higher than Indonesia, which 12.1 liters per capita per year. In addition, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, milk production in Indonesia is also a new can supply no more than 26.5 percent of domestic demand, the remaining 73.5 percent comes from imports. This means, Indonesian dairy farmers can only contribute 26.5 percent of national needs.

Based on the fact that, Tetra Pak Indonesia encouraged to promote the program "Just For My Fresh Milk." For the success of the program, Tetra Pak Indonesia in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Indonesia Ministry of Health, National dairy Council (DPN), Indonesian Healthy Bone Residents Association (Perwatusi), and the producers of fresh milk.

Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia Indonesia also invites people to drink fresh milk every day to help the Indonesian dairy industry to grow to be better.

"To improve the nutritional quality of Indonesian society, first we need to increase public awareness of balanced nutrition. Much needed awareness of the Indonesian people to drink fresh milk every day. 'Fresh Milk Just For Me', "added Dr Minarto MPS, Director of Community Nutrition Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.

In order to campaign for the movement of fresh milk this year, Tetra Pak Indonesia together dairy producers, among others Ultrajaya Milk Industry (Milk Ultra), Indomilk (Milk Indomilk), Greenfields Indonesia (Real Good), PKIS Sekartanjung Champion Milk, and Diamond has been and will conducted a series of campaign activities to drink milk. Activities include support of Peak Milk Memorial Day 2010 Nusantara held in Lembang, Bandung, held a talk show on television and radio, media workshops, photo competitions and writing features for journalists, and seminars in cooperation with the Indonesian Doctors Association.

Fresh Milk Consumption Indonesia Still Low

02.38

Currently, Indonesia is still facing problems of poor nutrition and over nutrition which is closely linked with the consumption patterns of society. Ideally, the consumption of animal derived food enough.

Data The World Bank in 2006 suggests, as many as 54 percent of infant mortality and infant nutrition backed by an ugly situation. Further, the nutritional status of children in 2007 showed there are still lots of short children (34.8 percent) as a reflection of chronic malnutrition.

"Mother is a short and a variety of micronutrient deficiency is a serious nutritional problem," said DR Minarto MPS from the Directorate of Community Nutrition Ministry of Health in the Media Seminar on Tetra Pak "Fresh Milk Just Me" at Hotel Mulia, Senayan, Jakarta, recently.

DR Minarto added, the cause could be due to consumption of animal derived food of Indonesian people is low. In fact, according to DR Minarto, the quality of grain consumption alone is not enough; whether it was because there was not enough material, can not afford to buy, or not recommended to eat, let alone other nutritional needs.

Yet according to the "law of nutrition", to ensure growth, development, health, humans need different nutrients, each with specific functions and are not interchangeable. Law of other nutrients, says that the function of nutrients linked (interact) and should be available at the same time and no one type of food that contains all the nutrients the body needs.

"Getting good drinking milk, especially in children who are still in the process of growth. Because cow's milk as a protein source contain some essential amino acids larger than other sources of protein "specifically.

After getting enough golden standard on infant feeding, including Caring for Early Initiation (IMD) and rooming-in, exclusive breast feeding up to six months, continued breastfeeding up to two years, and given MPASI after the age of six months, the child's nutritional needs according to growth age. For example, children aged 4-6 years requiring 1550 kcals of energy, 39 g protein, 450 ug RE of vitamin A, calcium 500 mg, and 9 mg of iron.

"To improve the nutritional quality of Indonesian society, first we need to increase public awareness of balanced nutrition. Fresh milk is a liquid diet which is very beneficial for health because they contain calcium, protein, vitamins and minerals needed by the body and build a balanced nutrition, especially for children who are still growing. To that end, much needed public awareness to drink fresh milk every day, "he said.

Save the Small of the Allergy

02.36

POWER immunity in its infancy the child shall be the parents' attention. Because, his endurance of children prone to bad allergies.

In the last five decades in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, there has been a trend decline in the number of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and measles. But on the contrary, there was a significant increase in the number of disease immune system disorder, such as allergies.

Similar revealed by Profeseor Sibylle Koletzko, head of the division "Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology" Ludwig Maximilians University of Munic, Germany.

"Allergic disease is closely related to the immune system of children. Allergies are the immune system response to excess on a normally harmless substance, which can cause adverse symptoms of the body, ranging from respiratory disorders, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and skin. At an early age , the signs of an allergic reaction usually is a skin infection (such as a red rash) and gastrointestinal disorders (vomiting, etc.). With increasing age, major allergic reaction is the respiratory system, such as asthma and rhinitis, "he said when being met at the Hotel Mandarin Oriental , Central Jakarta, Tuesday (06/07/2010).

Explaining the causes of allergies, Koletzko states there are five food allergy triggers.

"For Indonesia, the originator of the five major food allergies in children are a group of crustaceans (crabs, shrimp), nuts, seafood, eggs, and dairy cows. It is very important to know the types of food that could spark food allergies because it avoids the occurrence of allergic triggers (elimination) is the best way to prevent allergies, "he continued.

Professor Koletzko also submitted that the factors causing allergic to date can not be explained with certainty. However, in some studies show that genetic factors, diet, lifestyle, environment, exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy and the period of the first year of age is a factor that can increase the risk of allergies in children.

Based on his explanation, from genetic factors, children born of parents who also have allergies at risk of allergy with the frequency of risk to reach 40-80 percent.

Child's allergy-immunology consultant, Dr. Munasir Zakiudin also an important reminder for parents, especially mothers to perform preventive actions during pregnancy, birth, or in childhood.

"Sharp rise in cases of allergies in children, in Indonesia, not only caused by genetic factors, also influenced by environmental factors and lifestyle of their parents. It is very important for mothers to do the preventive measures during pregnancy, birth or in childhood, because if we have allergies in childhood, so when we get older the risk of allergies was also going great, "he asserted.

In young infants, the increasing trend begun in the provision of allergy to cow's milk. Preventing allergies occur in your baby, Dr. Zakiudin mention the parents can try other alternatives to milk hydrolysis.

"If the mother can not give milk, it could be due to hydrolysis of milk protein has been fragmented and can reduce allergies. But if the mother is allergic to have the talent, then it should have consulted a doctor," he said.

Causes of Longevity Genes Discovered

02.35

PEOPLE who proved to have longevity of certain genes are inherited. Still, can not be medically determined who those people will live long or not.

Human age is the biggest secret of the Lord. However, there is no harm in us as humans try to "extend" because God Himself is still giving the opportunity to change the destiny of mankind. Medical science has long been know the various tricks and methods to slow aging.

It turns out that because of daily habits that affect health. Breakfast habits and climbing stairs for example, without your awareness contributing to improved health. This custom seems trivial, but over time, the benefits of small habits like this will be collected. Thus, by maintaining healthy habits, you can extend life expectancy.

However, a number of scientists from the United States who conduct research related to family genealogy and lifestyles has found a gene that "responsible" in human longevity. They get people who live to 100 years or more turned out to have similar genes. Accuracy of this invention achieve 77 per cent.

In research published in the online edition of the journal "Science" on Thursday (1 / 7), researchers trying to understand how people survive to old age. In its report, the same number of genetic variation found within themselves.

Although genetically related, do not immediately stop your efforts to diet and exercise. Not that this research can determine who those who can live long or not. Because, according to T Paola Sebastiani and Thomas Perls of Boston University, the United States that included in the research team, a healthy lifestyle and other factors are also significant in affecting longevity.

Perls said the possible results of this study can detect anyone who would be more susceptible to certain diseases. Or, it could be helpful to guide therapy for those processes. In this study, researchers looked at 1055 genes from people of Caucasian race who were born between 1890 and 1910, and compared with 1267 other people who were born later.

By studying the genetic signals, the researchers finally able to predict the same groups of genes derived from persons aged 100 years or more, with an accuracy up to 77 percent. "A sum of 77 percent accuracy is very high for the same genetic model," said Sebastiani. "But there's 23 percent error rate and show that there are many things remain to be discovered," he said as quoted by the Associated Press.

Apart from the environmental conditions and a person's health history, this gene proved to be capable of working in a complex to provide longevity. Researchers named the unique model includes 150 genetic variants called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

In the study, participants were divided into 19 groups with different genetic mark that is found in their bodies. Several genes have a correlation with longer survival, while other genes that function delaying the emergence of age-related diseases such as dementia.

"We find the fact that what affects longevity is not lack of regard for many diseases, but the presence of a protective variant," he said. In addition, 40 percent of seniors over the age of 110 years it has three specific genetic variants the same. Perls reminded that this matter is that the genetic puzzle is very complex.

"We're still, medium, and kept going to find out what patterns of new genes regulated by this," he said. "I see the complexity of this puzzle and felt that (the research) will not lead to treatments that will make people live long," he said.

But, he added, this research can assist in developing strategies and tracking that will help you find what treatment will be needed to prevent the threat of disease. The study, which began in 1995 it was only focused on people with Caucasians.

"So, the cause of longevity has been revealed. It turned out that genes also play a role, "said Dr. Kenneth S. Kendler of the Department of Human and Molecular Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA.

Do not let the abdominal circumference greater than the circumference of the buttocks, "said Dr. Sutandar SpJP Antono FACC FSCAI FIHA to okezone FAMS in the event a media forum held at Le Seminyak Siloam Hospitals, Pacific Place, Jakarta, some time ago.

Belly fat can also affect breathing. Excessive accumulation of fat below the diaphragm and in the chest, can suppress lung. This has led to respiratory distress and shortness of breath, although patients with only mild activity. Because fat makes the muscles become weak, this is where the importance of proper exercise. Moreover, belly fat is also closely related to heart disease risk.

"For the heart, it's best cardio exercise, bicycle, and brisk walking at least 30 minutes for three times a week. Lift the load is also important for muscle toning.

Islamic Banking Grows going twice

02.19

SINGAPORE - Islamic financial sector is predicted to grow two-fold compared to conventional banks. Total assets of Islamic banks this year is expected to reach $ 1 trillion. Total assets than liabilities in 2009 grew 4.2 percent to USD410 billion.

"(Bank Syariah) The more widely accepted and has appeal as a more ethical investment makes this inudstri kalil grow two fold compared to conventional," Singapore Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang as he opened the World Islamic Banking Conference Asia Summit, as quoted from Channel News Asia, Wednesday (06/16/2010).

Like conventional banks, said Lim, who also serves as Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS, Islamic banks also declined due to the global financial crisis. "However, the popularity of sharia banks continued to rise. In general, Islamic financial outlook remains positive," he said.

Lim added, as a world financial hub, Singapore is ready to help promote Islamic finance. Middle East (Timtem) and Asia can work together to develop and explore all the Islamic finance for mutual benefit. He considered that Singapore could follow the steps the United Arab Emirates (UAE) working on the Islamic finance market.

UAE Central Bank Governor Sultan Bin Nasser Al Suwaidi UAE Islamic banking presents targeted to grow four percent in 2010 and 2011. Total deposits from the UAE grew 6.4 percent to USD266, 8 billion and total loans increased 4.1 percent to USD275 billion.

Asset growth also occurred in Islamic banking in Bahrain, a $ 26 billion in 2009. Year 2000, assets of Islamic banking in Bahrain, only $ 2 billion. Islamic bank's market share also rose from 1.8 percent in 2000 to 11 percent in 2009.

Bahrain Central Bank Governor Rasheed Mohammed Al Maraj believes the Islamic finance industry is more resistant than conventional in the face of the global financial crisis, the first phase (2007-2009). Therefore, Islamic banks do not invest in financial products toxic.

"Nevertheless, the Islamic finance industry still has to learn from global financial crisis," said Al Maraj.

Al Maraj rate, Islamic banking still has to anticipate the second phase of the global financial crisis. Therefore, this second crisis will give big impact to the Islamic financial sector.

(Second phase of crisis) would reduce liquidity in all markets in large numbers and a global economic slowdown would lower the eligibility of all creditors, including Islamic financial institutional clients.

"Principles of finance, which do not concentrate on risks and not rely on collateral that has no realistic valuations applied to the Islamic and conventional institutions," said Al Maraj.

According to Al Maraj, practitioners must work to ensure that the foundations of the Islamic finance industry is strong enough to support business growth. So it is more resistant in the face of the second phase of crisis.

Expert opinion, the financial attractiveness of sharia on the non-Muslim customers continue to rise. Islamic Finance Asia is predicted to grow 10 percent over the next 12 months. Practitioners perbakan sure, the Islamic finance industry will continue to attract new customers.

These developments have consequences for central banks and experts to anticipate future risks. They need to fix the regulatory and supervisory framework that Islamic financial institutions more resilient in the face of risk in the future.

On the appeal of coffee, tea, especially green tea, which contains less caffeine. Based on USDA data, containing only 32 mg of caffeine per cup compared with 212 mg of caffeine in a cup of espresso. With reduced intake of caffeine, the blood pressure may be more stable.

Although tea is familiar in our society, until recently, still little public knowledge about the benefits of the tea itself. Therefore, the function is not much tea as a beverage in general, as relieving hunger in times of stinging sun.

In fact, tea is a nutritious beverage with health benefits. According to the report of tea experts, the content of two cups of tea, especially the types of black tea, equivalent to 20 glasses of apple juice or seven glasses of orange juice.

Reasons Why Sharia late for Publishing Items

02.16

JAKARTA - The issuance of Islamic products are often just too late. Capital Market Supervisory Agency of Financial Institutions (Bapepam-LK) explains there are several reasons, including the risks large enough so that the issuance of Islamic products have to be careful.

"Because the skeleton should really study, because the risk of sharia is big enough. When you have applied the community or in the marketplace," said the Chairman of Bapepam-LK Fuad Rahmany, as a keynote speech seminar Shariah Capital Markets, Corporate Sukuk Development Potential in Indonesia, in Hotel Borobudur, Jakarta, Tuesday (07/06/2010).

Unlike the non-Islamic products, clearly Fuad, whose value only and not directly down to zero. "Can you imagine the disaster that would be caused if we were careful not to publish it. For that we really do make sure, that it truly Islamic products. That's why we like to be late to publish it," he said

In addition, capital market authorities are also calling for underwriters and issuers to introduce and develop Islamic products.

According to Fuad, corporations rarely publishes Islamic products such as sukuk. In fact, policies and regulations are quite lax. In addition, the G-20 meeting mentioned sharia products should be developed.

Fuad expect the development of Islamic products not only from regulators, the Bapepam-LK and the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), but also market participants of the initiative. "Underwriter come forward to introduce a business entity to help develop products sharia because sharia great potential," added Fuad.

No Sugar & Salt for Infants Under 1 Year

02.14

LOT mother admits, feeding more easily if the baby is one year old. Because, the type of food consumed was the same as family food. But there are other things to note Moms.

Increasing age and growth rate, the required child nutrition will be more complete. In addition to food quality, fulfillment of child nutrition should also be noted variations and ways of processing food.

"No one food is perfect, so the more varied the better the food will. Notice also where the nutritional quality of food must be complete, and use fresh ingredients. Processing should also be good, such as cooking to avoid overcooking, not warmed, and with no flavor, "explains Dr. Witjaksono SpGK Fiastuti to okezone after talkshow" Best Parenting for Busy Parents "held by Philips Avent at the Hotel Gran Melia, Jakarta, recently this.

As a guide, dr Fiastuti presents a balanced composition of nutrients in one serving of baby food, namely carbohydrates (complex carbohydrates priority) 50-60 percent, 10-25 percent protein (animal: vegetable = 2: 1), fat (Safa, MUFA, PUFA ) 25-40 percent, as well as vitamins and minerals (A, D, E, K, B, C, Ca, etc.). However, Dr. Fiastuti asserted, there are some foods that should be avoided in babies under one year.

"Some foods are best avoided in children aged under one year, namely sugar, salt, honey, nuts, and dairy cows. Even the food may be delayed until children aged two years, "added nutrition specialist Cipto Mangunkusumo this.

Instinctively, prefixed dr Fiastuti, kids basically do not know about the food taste so tend not to choose food. If accustomed to eating food that was given to taste, they will be familiar with the taste. As a result, the child would only eat if the food tasteless.

"No need to add taste salty or sweet. Nevertheless, the natural foods already contain sugar, rice or pumpkin, for example. The more parents teach correct eating habits, the more easily the child receives food because they are easy to adjust with diet adopted parents, "he said.

Honey should not be given because they contain because the risk of Clostridium bacteria that can cause botulism. Also beans and cow's milk allergy in infants at risk of causing.

"Introduce foods one by one in the baby, do not mix. Then, wait four days to introduce other new foods, to be seen whether the baby has an allergic reaction to food or not, "he explained.

Insurance Culture in Underdeveloped Countries OKI

02.12

One of the unintended consequences of the global financial crisis is the increasing awareness of the risks and how to manage risk in business, trade and investment.

One option is through export credit risk management and political risk insurance, as well as exporters, importers, and bankbank who finance them. Now in many developing countries found in this product. However, export credit and investment insurance culture in the 56 member countries of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), is still lagging.

Despite the fact there are signs that this is beginning to change. Main drivers behind this industry in these countries Jeddah-based OIC is the Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC), an independent member of the IDB Group.

Here's an interview with the CEO of Jeddah-based Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC) Abdel Rahman Taha learned from arabnews.com.

What happened in 2009 then?

Last year investors have enough problems peli. Whether caused by the credit and political risk. We also have to pay the claims of some companies. But of course compared with the funds we have, and payment of the claim amount, less impact on our revenue or about 15 percent of the loss ratio (percentage of premium revenue used to pay claims).

In 2009 the volume of business was also reduced substantially by 29 percent. However, new approvals increased from USD1, 7 billion to $ 2, 1 billion for the same period. It shows our customers have the intention to conduct new business and applied for a credit line that we approved.

Did it happen because of the design or the strength of market conditions?

Usually short-term business accounts for 75 percent of our business. But in 2009, business increased substantially over the medium term to account until 40 percent of the total underwriting business. It is a demand-driven business. The biggest demand for insurance business and long-term investment projects in countries, like Sudan.

We also support new types of companies from our member countries. ICIEC Suweidi contribute to the company that transformed itself into a multinational company. By using political risk insurance and investment, they can go to countries and markets that otherwise they would not be able to do business in certain counterparts.

Is there a greater awareness of the need for export credit insurance and investment in member countries are you?

Yes it has improved, but the awareness and use of this produkproduk still very low. One of the unintended benefits from the financial crisis is to raise awareness of the risks and how to manage risk. A good way to manage risk is through export credit insurance.

So this is reflected in the first quarter of 2010?

New commitments for the first quarter of 2010 compared with same period in 2009 has increased by 50 percent from USD474 million to USD710 million, the actual insured business increased 77 percent from USD228 million to USD403 million. Previously, we have many problems in convincing the banks in our member countries to accept our policies as security and collateral for their loans.

Now the banks started to come because they realize, and this allows them to expand their business. This process is also aided by the fact that ICIEC rated AA three years ago by Moody's, which was reaffirmed in November after a crisis.

With the increased volume of business, whether you are planning an increase in capital to support underwriting new?

That is a very good question, because if the business continues to grow, we predict the end of 2010 we will spend our capabilities. With a capital of USD250 million, we also use an average of reinsurance that we deliver around 40 percent for the international reinsurance industry, especially for Lloyd and others.

There should be a balance between the money that is divided and the risk of getting sharing. Until now we feel that 40 percent of income is the right balance and we did not want to add this because if we do, just be an agent for the reinsurance market

Watch for the Fetus Pregnancy

02.09

Baby during birth defects can be prevented at an early stage proved when the pregnancy lasts. Healthy lifestyle and following doctor's advice is the key.

None of the most frightening thing for a pregnant woman if the fetus is likely to know who was in her womb have a disability which of course would threaten the health and future life. But medical experts assured, many ways that women can do before and during pregnancy to reduce the risk of children born with disabilities.

Most of the related measures of prevention measures of this child was born handicapped and could easily run by anyone who wants to get healthy life.

"Women in childbearing age should be aware of the fact that they must be healthy," said Dr. Michael Katz, Deputy Chief for Research and Global Programs at the March of Dimes, a nonprofit organization related to pregnancy and baby health issues.

"They (the women) have of course a healthy lifestyle. This is certainly not the burden of additional work. This is a good lifestyle, "said Katz, who was a professor of child health from Columbia University and a consultant in New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York City, United States, as quoted healthday.com pages.

Known, about 1 of every 33 children born in the United States has several types of birth defects. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most birth defects occur during the first three months of pregnancy and involves some structural abnormalities, functional, or biochemical, producing children with disabilities or even death.

Cardiac abnormalities are the types of birth defects most often occur. In addition, an estimated one of 100 or 200 infants born to bring the disorder. Incidence of heart defects is more common because of the development of the fetal heart the most complicated because there are many opportunities for things that went wrong.

"The heart is a very complex organism, and comes in harmony with the forces that develop in the embryo," said Katz.

Often newborns with heart defects have what is called atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect. They are born with a hole in their hearts.
"The heart has four rooms, two of the above mentioned Atria, two below called ventricles. They are separated by a muscular wall called the septum, "said Dr. Adolfo Correa, a medical supervisor for the CDC's National Center on Birth defects and Developmental Disabilities.

In some babies born with congenital heart defects, heart wall has not been fully closed. There is a hole between the right and the left side. "It (the hole) closed the road into oxygen in the blood to the lungs and then circulated to the organs to provide oxygen. Blood that comes into the network does not contain oxygen as usual. Sometimes things like that can make those minor defects, but can be very severe and severe, and affect child growth and development, "said Correa.

Correa calls, environmental exposure may play an important role to determine whether a child is born disabled or not. For example, two major factors in the occurrence of cardiac abnormalities namely obesity and diabetes. Controlling weight and blood sugar levels is key to protecting the health of children in the womb.

"Women of childbearing age can go to doctor to find ways to achieve ideal body weight to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Besides, if well controlled diabetes, the risk of birth defects can be reduced by an average risk in a population of women with diabetes, "he said.

The women also can prevent the occurrence of birth defects with dietary adjustments and attention to nutrition and nutritional intake. Ensure that folic acid levels are met, whether from food or supplements daily folic acid. Medical experts recommend consuming at least 400 micrograms of folic acid every day.

Other fetal defects at birth are common, according to CDC records, including neural tube defects are birth defects because of incomplete growth and development of the system during fetal neural tube. Kind of like spina bifida and anencephaly. This defect occurs in 1 in 1000 pregnancies. In addition, cleft lip also includes frequently, about 1 from 700 to 1,000 babies born.

Both Correa and Katz are both of the opinion that needs to be changed is the way of life before a woman is pregnant. This is important, given the disparity in fetal growth and development often occurs in early pregnancy, even before a woman realizes she is pregnant. To bear healthy babies without complications, all women are advised to maintain fitness and good nutrition to meet, even before the conception.

Other precautions can be done during pregnancy. The first thing is to analyze the return of all drugs, both prescription and OTC drugs, which are consumed. Ask your doctor what medications should be avoided as dangerous to the fetus.

"Every time a woman is pregnant and taking prescription drugs for himself, he must ask whether the drug is safe for consumption during pregnancy. If doctors do not know the answer, it should be investigated further, "said Katz.

The pregnant women also should protect themselves from the possibility of disease transmission. Avoid traveling far away to prevent disease transmission. Or, if unavoidable, take precautions, such as taking antimalarial drugs or get certain vaccines before traveling.

Effective Ads

06.13


HAVE you ever seen a campaign about antinarkoba? Both the print media advertisements, brochures, television ads, billboards and so forth?

What is usually written in the ads? We often encounter may typically written "Stay away from DRUGS", "Do not Use DRUGS" and so forth (usually written with letters written drug bigger and clearer).

Antinarkoba ad challenges in Indonesia, often reminding people to want to know: What are drugs? Seems to be also. However, the more writing''forbidden "or''antinarkoba", this drug-free as advertised.

Then, how ads are more effective? When I went to Singapore, and walked down the hall toward the MRT underground (subway) I saw a picture is very distasteful, where there is an emaciated man, naked. The body lay near the closet toilet with human waste scattered around, some even on his body.

Underneath is written "Drugs make your anus open." You will not be able to hold back a bowel movement. Your dirt everywhere. Hiii ...... really disgusting. How did your impression or feeling, if you see these pictures? (At least you can already imagine the picture I mentioned).

Until now, if I remember the drugs, which directly out of disgust. This is a successful antinarkoba ad. Simple, shocking, concrete, emotional, directly associated with narkoba.Selesai disgusting!

Now how to use this knowledge to design your ads to remind? (Actually not just advertising, but you can use the 12 pillars of marketing to touch your target market, in the same way). For example companies such as automobile, motorcycle, or whatever. How to use a wrench Pavlov / "hook"?

The key is to make an ad that simple story, shocking, concrete, emotional, trustworthy, to cause a certain feeling that we want. For example: "Safe", "Beneficial", "Ultimate Driving Pleasure", "Healthy & Fresh", "Strong", "White Beauty", "Eternal Love", "Steady State", etc.. After that, just remove your products / services.

Which sometimes has nothing to do with this feeling. Repeat until the "hook" habit. Thus you can successfully colonize the minds of unwitting. This is why there are people who listen to certain music at the time of sudden crying because she was listening to the music he has a hook on one particular emotion.
