Ini Dia 2 'Senjata' Perusak Asmara

KANDASNYA kisah asmara bisa disebabkan oleh banyak faktor. Bahkan, tanpa Anda sadari, ada beberapa tindakan kecil yang biasa Anda lakukan bisa menjadi ”senjata” perusak hubungan.

Ingin tahu apa saja 'senjata' tersebut? Simak penjelasan berikut yang dirangkum dari Askmen

Ngambek saat Anda tidak dibantu menghadapi kesulitan

Dalam hal ini, Anda tak perlu langsung ngambek (marah) jika si dia tak kunjung menawarkan bantuan. Misalnya, saat Anda begitu repot menenteng barang belanjaan yang jumlahnya cukup banyak, meski terkesan cuek bukan berarti dia tidak perduli pada Anda.

Perlu diingat, kaum adam berbeda dengan wanita yang secara naluriah cenderung menawarkan bantuan tanpa diminta. Wanita memiliki naluri keibuan, ini sebabnya pria jarang memiliki inisiatif serupa. Mereka cenderung berpikir untuk tidak meminta bantuan pasangannya karena ingin melakukannya sendiri.

Perbedaan inilah yang sering menimbulkan salah paham. Pasalnya, si dia terkesan tidak memiliki kesadaran untuk meringankan beban secara langsung. Jika ini yang terjadi, tidak ada salahnya untuk Anda kaum hawa, berbicara langsung pada pasangan jika membutuhkan bantuannya. Percayalah, si dia akan senang dan merasa Anda bisa diandalkan.

Mengungkit masa lalu

Senjata yang paling berpotensi membuat kaum pria gerah dengan sikap wanita adalah, saat mereka mengungkit-ungkit masa lalu. Dibandingkan pria, kaum hawa memiliki ingatan yang cukup kuat terhadap segala sesuatu. Sayangnya, kelebihan ini sering dimanfaatkan pada waktu tidak tepat. Misalnya, ketika bertengkar. Jika direnungkan kembali, berapa banyak kesalahan pasangan yang sering Anda ungkit saat suasana tengah memanas?

Sebenarnya, mungkin niat Anda baik, yaitu ingin mengingatkan pasangan bahwa dia telah melakukan kesalahan yang sama. Namun, sadarkah Anda bahwa tindakkan Anda bisa disalahartikan? Bukannya sadar, justru si dia merasa tengah dihakimi oleh Anda. Tentu saja hal ini memacu dirinya semakin tidak sadar dan tidak perduli pada perkataan Anda.

Jadi, daripada masalah semakin kusut, lebih baik Anda tidak mencampuradukkan masa lalu dan masa sekarang. Jika ingin marah, marahlah dengan kesalahan yang baru saja diperbuatnya. Tak perlu mengungkit kesalahan di masa lalu karena ini hanya bisa menambah deretan panjang masalah dalam hubungan Anda berdua

Penyakit & Gejala pada Mata yang harus diketahui

KONDISI mata yang tidak normal terjadi pada seseorang ternyata bisa jadi merupakan pertanda penyakit berat. Karena itu, terus mengontrol keadaan mata Anda secara rutin merupakan upaya pencegahan yang tepat.
 
Berikut penyakit dan gejala pada mata yang patut Anda ketahui:


Hipertensi/tekanan darah tinggi

Kondisi ini menempatkan beban tambahan pada jantung dan pembuluh darah yang meningkatkan resiko serangan jantung atau stroke. Tekanan darah tinggi menyebabkan kerusakan pada pembuluh darah di retina. Para ahli mata akan melihat semacam gigitan di pembuluh darah di mana mereka saling serang atau perdarahan di belakang retina mata.


Kolesterol tinggi

Kolesterol merupakan zat lemak dalam darah yang dapat meningkatkan risiko serangan jantung. Gejala yang dilihat pada mata adalah potongan-potongan kolesterol dapat melepaskan diri dari deposit dalam tubuh dan menuju kedalam pembuluh darah retina. Para ahli mata akan melihat penyumbatan kecil berwarna kekuningan di pembuluh darah arteri. Terlihat juga garis putih tipis berwarna yang melingkari bagian dari mata yaitu di iris karena kolesterol terdeposit dalam mata.


Tumor otak

Tumor dalah pertumbuhan jaringan yang dapat menyebabkan kanker (ganas) atau non-kanker (jinak). Gejala yang dilihat pada mata yaitu pembengkakan saraf optik dapat menjadi tanda kemungkinan tumor otak.


Penyakit tiroid

Kelenjar tiroid di leher menghasilkan hormon yang mengatur metabolisme. Penyakit dapat diebabkan oleh sesuatu yang terlalu banyak atau terlalu sedikit, tergantung permasalahannya. Gejala pada mata biasanya bisa dilihat dari bola mata yang melotot atau menonjol.


Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis adalah kecacatan neurologis yang dapat menyebabkan berbagai gejala kelelahan untuk masalah memori. Gejala dilihat pada mata diantaranya terdapat pembengkakan pada saraf optik, penglihatan kabur dan kepekaan terhadap cahaya.


Diabetes

Diabetes disebabkan karena terlalu banyak gula dalam darah yang dapat meningkatkan risiko penyakit jantung, stroke, dan penyakit ginjal. Tinggi kadar gula darah merusak pembuluh darah kecil di retina, menyebabkan kebocoran darah dan lemak.


Stroke

Stroke disebabkan oleh penyumbatan atau pendarahan di otak. Pasien mungkin memiliki serangkaian stroke kecil tanpa menyadarinya sebelum penderitaan besar yang dapat mengakibatkan kelumpuhan atau kematian. Pengujian pada mata akan mengungkapkan gumpalan atau partikel kecil dari kolesterol bergerak melalui pembuluh darah di retina saat pemeriksaan mata, yang dapat menunjukkan bahwa seseorang mungkin telah mengalami stroke.

Sterilisasi UHT & Pengolahan Aseptik, Jaga Mutu Susu Segar

SELAIN manusia, susu juga disukai oleh mikroba. Untuk mencegah perusakan susu oleh bakteri ini, dilakukanlah sterilisasi UHT dengan pengolahan aseptik.
 
Dilihat dari jenis susu yang dikonsumsi, masyarakat Indonesia mengonsumsi susu cair dalam bentuk UHT 4,6 persen (118,5 ribu ton), susu steril 2,7 persen (69 ribu ton), susu pasteurisasi 1,2 persen (30 ribu ton) dan yang paling banyak dikonsumsi, yaitu dalam bentuk susu bubuk (43,3 persen). Alasannya karena susu bubuk lebih tahan lama sehingga lebih ekonomis. Pengolahan aseptik menjadi solusi atas masalah ketahanan susu.

Susu merupakan salah satu bahan pangan yang sangat penting dalam mencukupi kebutuhan gizi anak, terutama untuk pertumbuhan. Susu dikenal sebagai salah satu bahan pangan bergizi. Tak heran jika mikroba pun menyukainya. Dan kalau sudah dikuasai oleh mikroba, susu menjadi mudah rusak.

Begitu banyak “musuh” yang menyerang susu mulai dari peternakan hingga ke konsumen, sebut saja sel vegetatif, spora, pathogen (bakteri jahat), khamir (ragi), kapang, dan virus. Titik-titik kritis atau permasalahan yang muncul, di antaranya kebersihan peternakan (pakan/kesehatan sapi, mutu susu), kondisi transportasi, kondisi pengolahan, mutu pengemasan (proses, bahan, penanganan), kondisi penyimpanan, kondisi distribusi atau display, kondisi penyimpanan di rumah tangga, dan kondisi saat dikonsumsi.

Pada dasarnya, mikroba tidak dapat tumbuh jika lingkungan tidak mendukung. Mikroba juga bisa mati jika kondisi lingkungannya dibuat ekstrim.

“Kondisi lingkungan mikroba yang bisa dikendalikan, meliputi suhu, keasaman (pH), ketersediaan zat gizi, ketersediaan air, dan ketersediaan oksigen. Itu mengapa, misalnya, yogurt lebih tahan lama daripada susu segar karena tingkat keasamannya dikendalikan, seperti halnya susu bubuk yang lebih awet karena kandungan airnya dikurangi,” jelas Purwiyatno Hariyadi dari Southeast Asian Food & Agricultural Science & Technology (SEAFAST) Center pada Media Seminar Tetra Pak “Hanya Susu Segar Untukku” di Hotel Mulia, Senayan, Jakarta, belum lama ini.

Beberapa cara yang biasa digunakan untuk memperpanjang masa kesegaran produk pangan, seperti pendinginan, pembekuan, pemanasan, pengeringan, penambahan asam, penambahan pengawet, mengatur atmosfir, iradiasi, dan lain-lain.

Pemanasan (suhu tinggi) telah digunakan oleh manusia dalam kehidupannya sejak manusia menemukan api, termasuk untuk menambah usia produk susu. Susu diisikan pada wadah botol, kemudian disterilisasi (dipanaskan dalam susu tinggi) hingga akhirnya siap didistribusi. Namun sayang, proses pemanasan dalam suhu tinggi ini menyebabkan perubahan pada rasa, warna, tekstur, flavor, dan sebagainya.

“Pemanasan pada suhu lebih tinggi lebih efektif untuk membunuh mikroba, tetapi merusak mutu dan gizi. Sebaliknya, pemanasan pada suhu lebih rendah, tidak merusak mutu dan gizi, tetapi kurang efektif untuk membunuh mikroba,” imbuhnya.

Karenanya, ditegaskan Purwiyatno, diperlukan teknologi yang mencapai suhu tinggi dan juga turun secara cepat dibanding proses sterilisasi tradisional. Teknologi tersebut adalah sterilisasi UHT (Ultra High Temperature) dengan pengolahan aseptik. Pengolahan aseptik adalah pemanasan susu dan kemasan secara terpisah, setelah itu susu diisikan ke dalam kemasan. Pengisian produk steril ke dalam kemasan steril, dilakukan pada kondisi lingkungan steril, maka hasilnya, produk steril dalam kemasan.

Selain efektif membunuh mikroba, sterilisasi UHT dengan pengolahan aseptik juga menjamin nilai gizi produk pangan. Dan setelah dibandingkan, tingkat kerusakan setelah proses sterilisasi UHT lebih kecil dibandingkan sterilisasi biasa (pemanasan dalam botol).

Dan setelah sterilisasi dilakukan secara baik, dipaparkan Purwiyatno lebih lanjut, ada tiga syarat yang harus dipenuhi untuk mempertahankan kesegaran produk, yakni perlakuan pemanasan yang cukup, pengemasan dan pengkeliman (penyegelan) kemasan secara hermetis (kedap), dan penanganan kemasan dengan baik dengan memastikan integritas sambungan dan penutupan tetap terjaga sebelum, selama, dan setelah pemanasan.

“Sangat penting mengendalikan suhu dan waktu. Tapi tidak cukup karena kondisi setelahnya harus juga diperhatikan. Jika susu yang telah disterilisasi dibiarkan terbuka, maka mikroba datang lagi. Di sini pentingnya pengemasan. Pengemasan dengan wadah tertutup mencegah pencemaran kembali. Setelah itu, sepanjang kemasan tidak bocor, mikroba tidak akan tumbuh, susu akan tetap awet,” tukasnya.

ART Tingkatkan Bayi Lahir Cacat

MENURUT penelitian terbaru, bayi yang dikandung melalui bantuan teknologi reproduksi atau Assited Reproductive Technology (ART) akan meningkatkan risiko lahir cacat.

Peneliti menganalisis semua kelahiran ART (15.000) di 33 klinik terdaftar di Prancis antara 2003 dan 2007, menemukan tingkat bayi lahir cacat sebesar 4,24 persen. Berbanding dengan dua hingga tiga persen dari populasi umum. Demikian berita yang dilansir oleh kantor berita Agence France Presse (AFP).

"Angka yang cukup tinggi ini menunjukkan adanya ekses dari penyakit jantung dan kelainan dari sistem uro-genital. Biasanya ditemukan pada anak laki-laki," ujar Geraldine Viot seorang ahli genetika klinis yang mengepalai penelitian tersebut dalam siaran persnya di RS bersalin Port Royal, Paris.

"Kami memperkirakan bahwa di Prancis, berkisar 200.000 anak telah lahir melalui ART. Tingkat malformasi sebesar ini merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat. Fakta ini sangat penting untuk diketahui oleh para dokter dan pemerintah,” kata Viot.

Hati-Hati Beri Suplemen Vitamin D untuk Bayi

FOOD dan Drug Administration (FDA) sebuah badan pengawas obat dan makanan di Amerika mengeluarkan peringatan kepada produsen produk suplemen vitamin D untuk bayi dalam bentuk cair. Vitamin D cair yang diberikan dengan cara tetes ini disinyalir membuat orangtua meneteskannya secara berlebihan pada bayi mereka.

Padahal, suplemen vitamin D yang berlebih dapat merusak dan menyebabkan masalah seperti mual dan muntah, kehilangan nafsu makan, haus yang berlebihan, sembelit, sering buang air kecil, nyeri perut, lemah otot, sakit sendi dan otot, kelelahan, serta masalah yang lebih serius seperti kerusakan ginjal.

FDA telah menekankan pada para produsen suplemen vitamin D cair ini agar menyertai produknya dengan informasi produk yang jelas dan akurat yakni diberi batas ukuran 400 IU dan yang diteteskan pada bayi dan tidak boleh melebihi dari batas ukuran yang tertera.

Peraturan Program Diet 2010: Lawan Obesitas



DIETARY Guidelines for Americans 2010 mengajak semua orang untuk melakukan diet dan memperbanyak nutrisi nabati dengan cara mengurangi penumpukan gula dan lemak padat (mentega dan daging).

Laporan ini didasarkan pada bukti ilmiah terbaru dan disusun oleh sebuah panel yang beranggotakan sebanyak 13 ahli gizi dan kesehatan Amerika. Peraturan program diet tahun 2010 akan dirilis akhir tahun ini oleh Departemen Pertanian AS bersama Departemen Kesehatan dan Pelayanan.


Berkisar dua pertiga dari orang dewasa dan sepertiga dari anak-anak di Amerika Serikat kelebihan berat badan atau obesitas. Komite tersebut menyorot empat langkah utama, yaitu pertama mengurangi kelebihan berat badan dan obesitas dengan memotong asupan kalori dan meningkatkan aktivitas fisik.

Kedua, memperbanyak makan makanan nabati yaitu sayuran, buah-buahan, biji-bijian, serta kacang-kacangan. Meningkatkan konsumsi makanan laut yang bebas lemak dan susu rendah lemak, serta makan secukupnya daging unggas dan telur. Ketiga, secara signifikan mengurangi asupan makanan yang mengandung gula dan lemak padat, yang memberikan kontribusi sekitar 35 persen kalori. Mengurangi asupan natrium secara bertahap sampai dengan 1.500 miligram per hari.

Keempat, mematuhi Pedoman Kegiatan Fisik untuk Amerika tahun 2008. Mereka merekomendasikan, orang dewasa mendapatkan minimal 2,5 jam intensitas aktivitas fisik sedang setiap minggu, seperti jalan cepat, atau 1 jam 15 menit aktivitas lebih berat, seperti jogging atau berenang. Anak-anak dan remaja harus melakukan satu jam atau lebih untuk intensitas aktivitas fisik yang kuat setiap harinya.

Pedoman diet pertama kali diterbitkan pada tahun 1980 dan diperbaharui setiap lima tahun. Pedoman ini digunakan untuk program gizi dan pendidikan pemerintah, dan juga oleh ahli gizi serta ahli kesehatan untuk membantu mendidik orang tentang pola makan sehat.

Jangan Lakukan Ini pada Wanita ketika sedang Ngeseks...

BERCINTA memang menjadi kegiatan mengasyikkan yang bisa membuat pelakunya lepas kendali. Namun, ada beberapa hal yang membuat wanita merasa tak nyaman saat ngeseks. Apa saja?

Menurut Jane Magazine yang dikutip dari Seni Menikmati Seks, ada empat tingkah laku seksual pria yang membuat wanita tak nyaman. Di antaranya:

Meniup Miss V

Banyak wanita mengeluh tak menyukai pasangan yang meniupkan area genital mereka. Pria berpikir, meniup miss V saat ngeseks akan meningkatkan rangsangan, padahal itu frankly wrong!

Sebenarnya wanita tidak menyukai perilaku seperti itu, meniup area pribadi wanita bukanlah hal yang nyaman bagi mereka. Bahkan, beberapa wanita merasa jengah dengan perilaku yang satu ini.

Bayangkan jika seseorang meniup telinga Anda dalam keadaan basah, bukan hal yang enak bukan? Dan, Anda akan mengerti kenapa wanita tak menyukainya.

Mengapa pria melakukan hal ini? Karena mereka berpikir hal tersebut akan menggelitik wanita, membuatnya terangsang, bahkan pria mengaku meniup miss V agar area tersebut cepat kering.

Bertanya sesuatu yang tak nyaman

Hal lain yang sangat mengganggu wanita ialah saat pria bertanya, "Apakah kau sudah mencapai klimaks?". Seorang wanita mengetahui apakah pria telah meraih the big O atau menikmati dirinya sendiri, jadi mengapa pria tak mencoba melakukan hal yang sama?

Pengalaman meraih orgasme wanita sangat berbeda dibandingkan pria. Seorang wanita harus menyerahkan dirinya sepenuhnya untuk meraih orgasme penuh.

Pertanyaan "Kau sudah puas?", di saat berhubungan seks, sebuah hal yang sangat mengganggu dan tak nyaman untuk beberapa wanita.

Mendorong kepala ke bawah

Pria sangat menyukai oral seks, mereka menyukai submissive position (posisi patuh) di mana seorang wanita melakukan oral seks. Tapi, tak semua wanita menyukai aktivitas yang satu ini.

Meski banyak juga yang menyukainya, namun jangan sekali pun memaksa pasangan Anda melakukan seperti Joe Pesci pada Sharon Stone di "Casino", menyorongkan kepalanya ke area genital Anda bukan sebuah hal yang menyenangkan, bukan?

Hal paling memalukan yang dilakukan seorang pria. Hanya sekitar 0,5% dari populasi wanita yang menyukai hal tersebut.

Meninggalkan kondom bekas pakai
Kondom bukan harus segera dibuang setelah pakai, bukan hal yang berat bukan? Selain menunjukkan respek pada pasangan, ini juga berlaku pada diri Anda. Tunjukkan perilaku bijak dan sembunyikan aktivitas seksual buruk Anda dari orang lain.

Memakai kaus kaki saat bercinta
Wanita tak menyukai seorang pria yang mengenakan kaus kaki saat mereka beraksi ranjang, karena memberi kesan mereka tak peduli dengan apa yang dikenakan. Pasalnya, tentu tak enak bercinta dengan wanita yang masih mengenakan pakaian, kaus kaki, aksesori rambut, begitu juga dengan apa yang dirasakan wanita.

Bercinta akan semakin menggetarkan saat Anda dan pasangan sama-sama telanjang bulat, melepaskan diri secara total.
(

Aktivitas Wajib Sebelum Ngeseks



SAAT pagi hari, pernahkah Anda menggoda pasangan dengan kalimat-kalimat nakal? Menyambut hari dengan menjurus pada aksi ranjang, ternyata membuat imajinasi terangsang dengan sendirinya. Kok bisa?
 
Kata-kata seperti, “Apa yang akan kamu lakukan untuk saya nanti?" atau "Saya tidak sabar membawa kamu melepaskan pakaian kerjamu," konon bisa membuat gairah “adik kecil” suami penasaran.

“Aksi menulis merangsang imajinasi dengan cara yang tidak dilakukan media sensorik lainnya. Menulis memaksa Anda untuk mengisi bagian yang kosong. Menulis juga membuat (daya) visual Anda sendiri,” ujar Ian Kerner PhD, penulis dari She Comes First.

Menurut Kerner, kombinasi dari kata-kata penulis dan penafsiran si penerima sebenarnya merupakan bentuk seks di dalamnya dan dari dirinya sendiri.

"Ditambah, mengatakan kepadanya apa yang Anda rencanakan untuk menyambut malam. Yang akan membuat dia berpikiran sepanjang hari,” tambah Kerner.

Agar dia terangsang, Anda harus menonaktifkan amigdala Anda, bagian dari otak yang mengontrol ketakutan dan kecemasan. Sekitar satu jam sebelum berhubungan seks, Anda bisa meluangkan waktu untuk mandi dengan air hangat. Fungsinya untuk menenangkan jiwa dan merangsang saraf Anda. Pasalnya, air panas akan membawa darah ke permukaan kulit Anda. Di mana ini membuat seluruh tubuh Anda lebih peka terhadap sentuhan.

Menambah busa sabun dengan aroma mentimun juga bisa Anda coba. Penelitian sebelumnya telah melaporkan bahwa aroma mentimun dapat membuat diri menjadi lebih terangsang. Selain itu, mendengarkan musik favorit Anda bisa mengurangi kecemasan dan tekanan darah.

"Respons emosional orang-orang saat mendengarkan musik yang mereka hafal, memicu respons relaks secara fisiologis," tukas George Stefano, Direktur Neuroscience Research Institute di College Old Westbury State University of New York.

Make Positive Changes For Fat Loss Success

Why is it that merely saying the "D" word, you know "diet" brings immediate thoughts of failure to the minds of many men and women around the world? Could it be that we have all learned through trial and error that diets simply do not work? I know many of you are sitting back with jaws dropped at the moment. After all, this is an article about dieting, right? It is and it isn't. Dieting is the kiss of death for many while a new phase in your life or lifestyle adjustment may be just the thing that will mean success for you and your fitness and health goals.



Eating for some is an addiction. Unfortunately, you can't exactly give up eating all together as a smoker can give up cigarettes. I'm not applying by any means that giving up cigarettes is easy but how much more difficult would it be if you were forced to have three a day? At that point you may as well enjoy them every time the urge hits right? The same holds true for food. You must eat in order to survive. You cannot live without eating. This means that if food is a problem in your life, you must find a healthier way of viewing food.

Isn't this where diets generally come in handy? The short answer is no. This is where diets often fail. Diets do very little to change how we view food. In fact, most diets only serve to tell us which foods are good, which foods are bad, and which foods (typically most of the foods we enjoy most) are strictly taboo. Diets begin by forcing people to feel deprived or punished. And no one likes to feel either of these things.

Even worse however, is that we punish ourselves further when we slip along the straight and very narrow pathways upon which our diets place us. This means that we are going to wallow in guilt over every little misstep we make until we give up all together and decide to over indulge once again and ignore the guilt all together.

In order to have real success you must make a lifestyle change. This is the only way that you will be able to shed those unwanted pounds without experiencing the horrible guilt that so many dieters go through each and every step of the way with their diets. Set goals for yourself. Keep them aggressive but realistic for fitness, dropping pounds, and eating new healthy foods. Even if your goal is as simple as eating 5 vegetable servings a day it is a great place to start.

Change your way of eating. Then change your way of seeing food and you will experience amazing changes in your attitudes toward your health, your body, and even your fitness level. As the first pounds begin to drop you will begin to experience more energy and less pain when exercising. This should help keep you motivated to do even more as time goes by.

Do not think that long term weight loss goals will be as easy to achieve as the first five or ten pounds. Consistency is vitally important when making these lifestyle changes. Take each day as it comes and begin again the very next day. This means that even if you fall completely "off the wagon" today, you can start over tomorrow. The trick is in staying the course more days than not and learning moderation and balance when it comes to straying from the straight and narrow.

There are many ways to fail when it comes to dieting and I know people who have failed in almost every one I can possibly imagine. There is no way to fail, however, when you are making positive changes in your life that are getting positive results. It may take weeks, months, or even years to reach your goal. As long as you are making steady and continuous efforts and progress, you are doing many great things for your health and well being.

We live in a world where there are so many anti-smoking agencies and institutions working against smoking. For this reason, smokers are generally not seen in a respective angle. So why not start to think about the quit smoking benefits and get away from the addiction instead of losing all these for a cigarette?

Health is wealth. If someone suffers from ill health, what use would it be to earn millions? There are many quit smoking benefits, but the most important can be stated as good health. It does not matter if you've smoked for a few years or have been a chain smoker all your life; what matters is the decision to quit. Starting from that point, a person will be able to live a richer life with lesser infections causing him or her to suffer in a hospital.


Quit smoking benefits not only help a person improve their health and increase their duration on earth, it also can have a positive spill-over on their social life. Quitting smoking would mean that a person will have a lower risk of developing cancer or heart diseases. It would mean that the person will breathe in fresher air instead of the cigarette smoke. There will be lesser instances of coughing and panting.

Quit smoking benefits are endless. Smoking can effect adversely on an individuals sexual health. If you are a female smoker, then your chances of getting pregnant would be very low. Unlike in the past, you'd have whiter teeth, fresher breath and also a higher energy level. It would also mean that your family and friends will be able to breathe in fresh air. Another benefit is the savings on your purse. Cigarette packs are costly. Quitting smoking would mean that the money that was spent on cigarettes could be used for other causes, such as pampering yourself with luxuries.

The Emergence Of Bamboo Fiber Raw Materials Eased The Pressure

Bamboo fiber viscose fiber products is a relatively successful case. In the early days of bamboo fiber, the industry has occurred in Southern pulp (Shanghai pulp plant) and the North pulp (Hebei Ji Wara fiber), two bamboo fiber pulp pulp enterprises for patent cases. This patent dispute, sparked widespread concern on the bamboo fiber. In November 2005, "bamboo" Fiber Industry Alliance, whose purpose is the joint development alliance business manager of the "bamboo" fiber and its downstream products. The emergence
of this industry alliance, is an innovation in traditional industries. From 2005 to the present, "bamboo" Industrial Union continues to grow, bamboo fiber gradually deepening the hearts of consumers.
From the industry perspective, the industry, the emergence of alliances, making bamboo fiber to break the traditional new product development from the shackles of the downstream. Bamboo fiber, as a branch of viscose fibers in the spinnability Cengzaoyuguo also some bottlenecks, such as static electricity generated when spinning larger, knotted rate, high rate of breakage. After the emergence of these problems, it is a large unit in the industrial union, the Kyrgyz Wara fiber and downstream production enterprises collaborate to make bamboo fiber spinning, etc. can be a greater level of performance improved. In the continuous improvement process, the consumers will ultimately endorsed the bamboo fiber products.
Second half of 2008, when the financial crisis has created the industry's enterprises with heavy losses, the Kyrgyz Wara fiber seize the historic opportunity to phase out the traditional 1.5D viscose staple fiber market, and energy into bamboo fiber production. This makes Kyrgyzstan Wara fiber in the financial crisis continued to maintain a good profitability.

At present, in addition to Kyrgyzstan Wara fiber bamboo fiber can be produced, the Tangshan three friends also have their own bamboo fiber production processes. Other companies, such as in Shandong Hai, Zhejiang Wealthy up, also capable of producing bamboo fiber conditions. The emergence of bamboo fiber, on the one hand to ease the raw materials (cotton, wood pulp) shortage of pressure on the solution of the capacity expansion brought by the downstream market competition. At present, Hebei Ji Wara fiber bamboo fiber has a capacity of 30,000 tons / year, the source of its pulp plant in Hunan TOP has 4 million ton / year bamboo pulp production capacity. In December 2009, Jilin Chemical Fiber Group and Sichuan jiangan county signed an "investment agreement", Jilin, Sichuan, and bamboo fiber-owned subsidiaries will be wholly relocated to Yangchun jiangan county industrial park, the new 100,000 tons / year bamboo pulp and 60,000 tons / year of viscose staple fiber project, with a total investment of about 1.5 billion. In which an investment of about 5 million, the proposed 50 thousand tons / year bamboo pulp fiber is scheduled to start construction in April 2010

Acupuncture In The Mission District : Helps In Chemo - Radiation Side Effects

Acupuncture in the Mission District



During recent years when there has been so much interesting in turning over to substitute medicine for some other typecasts of treatments in particular for extended ailments acupuncture has been earning some interest. Acupuncture in the Mission District of San Francisco is growing quite common.





This is something that has been close to for numerous centuries but has not been widely received by the Western world although concern has magnified here as well in the last a couple of years.



One region where acupuncture is truly getting an area of interest is as ornamental acupuncture. Redundant to enunciate, that anything that is proceeding to amend an individual's visual aspect most individuals will essay after it. This is most actual when it takes place to Hollywood and your movie stars and famous people for illustration. The central matter that decorative acupuncture is being practiced for is to edit thin lines and crinkles that begin to form as aging comes about. This process is likewise experienced as an acupuncture cosmetic surgery or some will call it a facial rejuvenation. Persons existing in the Mission district could contact acupuncture mission clinics to witness if they provide these functions.



This is not a new procedure either as it's been one that has been practiced for many years. The deviation now is revolutionary techniques are being presented and there are editions in the panache. When one recollects of acupuncture from a medical point of construe most of the thinking there is on its exercise to trim trouble and assist with anesthetics during surgery and then for curative aims as well



When it fares to a ornamental function, the needles are entered in contrasting particular regions. It is expended with the Chinese conception of them being tucked across the meridian line. These are believed by the Chinese to be lines of vitality and this is where the aging procedure will commence from hence this is where the treatments should happen. The occupying item about this is that the treatment is not precisely secluded to the face.

At the same time as these creams can be really helpful with resistant scabies, it is certainly not safe to use them since they contain harmful chemicals or poisons that generate alarming diseases such as cancer. It is therefore suggestive to use natural treatments with no side effects.
How to use the prescription cream?

Of the nearly 47 million Americans who know they have this condition, fully one third are not doing anything
to control it. No medication, no changes in life style. It would appear that these people are taking a wait and see approach because other than the elevated blood pressure reading, they probably feel fine.

HBP is known as the silent killer because it has no outward symptoms. HBP builds up in your blood vessels over a period of time, usually years. But when it does announce itself it's usually with a catastrophic health event like stroke, blindness, kidney failure or congestive heart failure. You simply can't ignore this condition just because you feel fine right now.

HBP can kill you just as dead as cancer so why aren't you doing something about it?

The American Heart Association recommends natural lowering of blood pressure and states that drugs are useful only when changes in diet and exercise don't work.
