Health: Meredakan Keluhan Heartburn Saat Hamil

Pernah merasakan naiknya aliran asam lambung ke kerongkongan yang menimbulkan efek seperti sensasi ingin muntah? Ini yang disebut heartburn. Heartburn kerap ditandai nyeri pada lambung, panas seperti ditusuk-tusuk, kadang mual dan muntah. Kita lazim menyebutnya nyeri ulu hati atau sakit maag.

Heartburn merupakan penyakit ringan yang biasa muncul saat kehamilan. Kondisi ini membuat ibu hamil merasa tidak nyaman, karena apapun yang ditelannya terasa mau naik lagi ke kerongkongan, dan tak jarang diakhiri dengan muntah.

Berikut sejumlah cara untuk meredakan derita heartburn:
  1. Makan dalam porsi kecil namun sering. Hindari banyak makan atau makan berlebihan.
  2. Usahakan ngemil di sela-sela jam makan. Lakukan secara perlahan, jangan terburu-buru
  3. Coba untuk tak minum berbarengan dengan makan. Sebaliknya minum yang banyak antara waktu makan.
  4. Usahakan mengidentifikasi makanan mana yang menimbulkan gangguan heartburn hebat, kemudian kurangi porsinya dalam daftar makanan Anda. waspadai makanan berbumbu tajam dan berminyak
  5. Sementara menjauhlah dari kopi dan rokok
  6. Jangan berbaring setelah makan
  7. Makan buah pepapa setelah makan. Anda bisa mengonsumisnya langsung atau dibuat jus, atau dalam bentuk tablet.
  8. Konsumsi yogurt, krim atau susu
  9. Kunyahlah buah almond
  10. Jika keluhan nyeri lambung begitu mengganggu, konsumsilah obat maag untuk meredakan keluhan.

Jika kurang yakin, hubungi dokter Anda untuk meminta petunjuk.

Nursing Bras

By Elizabeth Morgan

Maternity is nature’s gift to women. The experience of nursing your baby can be increased if you ensure your own comfort level. Your breasts start changing shape from the fourth month of pregnancy. As a result, most women find their previous bra too small.

Purchase a nursing bras close to your due date or shortly after your baby arrives, because your breasts will grow larger toward the end of your pregnancy and when milk comes in.

You can purchase nursing bras in the maternity section of any department store. When purchasing a nursing bra, keep in mind that it is best to shop for one that has wide, comfortable shoulder straps to give adequate support to the breasts. Consider buying a bra that has flaps and can be opened and refastened easily. Since milk leakage is inevitable, it also makes sense to buy nursing pads to protect both your bra and clothes.

Make sure you get the right size. Though good looks are an added bonus, your primary consideration should be access and comfort. Even though you may find bras with underwires tempting, they can constrict the ducts and obstruct the flow of milk. This, in turn, can cause infections.

It is always better to buy 100% cotton bras, as cotton is a breathable fabric. Synthetic fabrics trap moisture and encourage bacterial growth and soreness.
Along with quality, pay attention to the quantity also. You should buy more than one nursing bras to avoid washing the same pieces again and again. As the breast size keeps changing, you should replace your nursing bras regularly to be sure you're getting the support you need while breast- feeding.

Awas! Walet Tularkan Flu Burung

Sumber: PdPersi

Kendati penelitian menyebutkan burung wallet tidak menularkan flu burung, namun masyarakat harus senantiasa waspada. Sebab suatu saat bukan tak mungkin burung ini juga bisa menjadi pembawa virus tersebut.

Kepala Dinas Peternakan Riau Marzuki Husin mengungkapkan berdasarkan sampel, tidak ditemukan sedikit pun virus flu burung pada burung walet. Enam fakultas yang melakukan penelitian itu di antaranya Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), Universitas Sriwijaya, Hasanuddin serta Udayana.

Ia memperkirakan burung ini bebas virus karena tidak bersentuhan langsung dengan daratan. "Pekiraannya begitu, namun sekali lagi saya katakan, kita harus senantiasa waspada," ujarnya lagi.

Di Riau dengan 11 kabupaten dan kota, terdapat sejumlah penangkaran walet tidak resmi. Penangkaran itu dibuat dari bangunan tinggi. Di kawasan pinggir sungai atau pantai, seperti Dumai, Bengkalis, dan Inhu, ruko yang sengaja dilobangi untuk keluar masuk dan bersarangnya burung sangat mudah ditemui.

Sejak flu burung mulai menginfeksi unggas di Kota Dumai, masyarakat di beberapa kota sentra budidaya burung walet mulai khawatir. Sebab daya jelalah burung walet ini sehari mencapai 300 km.

Masyarakat juga meminta agar pemda mengkaji ulang keberadaan budidaya sarang burung walet di tengah perkotaan ini. Ia juga meminta agar merelokasinya ke daerah yang tidak berada dalam pemukiman penduduk.

Setengah Cangkir Anggur Per Hari Tingkatkan Gairah Seksual

Sumber:detikhealth.com

Kandungan gula alami yang sangat tinggi dalam buah anggur dapat mengatasi kelelahan dan hipoglikemia. Namun, dalam sebuah riset terungkap anggur juga dapat digunakan sebagai aprodisiak atau makanan pembangkit gairah seksual.

Selain itu, ternyata buah anggur berkhasiat membantu menyembuhkan berbagai jenis kanker, mencegah serangan jantung dengan cara mempelancar darah, dan menyingkirkan plak lemak pada dinding pembuluh darah.

Secangkir jus anggur mengandungi 28 mg kalsium, 30 mg fostor, 0,8 mg zat besi, 5 mg sodium, 293 mg potasium, serta sejumlah vitamin A dan B kompleks. Komponen ini sangat dibutuhkan agar organ seks dapat berfungsi.

Hasil riset lain yang dilakukan oleh dua orang mikrobiologis dari Kanada menyimpulkan selain meningkatkan gairah seksual jus anggur dapat pula membantu penyembuhan berapa penyakit infeksi virus, seperti influeza, polio, dan herpes simpleks tipe 1. Sebab, konsentrasi tanin dalam anggur dinilai potensial membunuh dan menonaktifkan virus penyebab penyakit. Riset ini dipublikasikan di jurnal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.

Mengingat hampir semua anggur yang dijual pasar swalayan saat ini sudah terkontaminasi pestisida, riset tersebut menyarankan sedapat mungkin menggunakan anggur yang ditanam secara organik. Mencuci bersih anggur ternyata tidak mampu menghilangkan kadar zat kimia bila buah tersebut sudah tercemar.

Sebaiknya, mengkonsumsi anggur hanya setengah cangkir per hari. Resepnya dengan menambahkan akar bunga dandelion dan ekstrak cuka untuk mengurangi risiko bahaya pestisida.

What to Drink on the Zone Diet?

By Martin Beans

The Zone Diet is founded on the idea of eating a balanced ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat. By eating in the ratio of 40/30/30, meaning 40 percent carbohydrate and 30 percent each of protein and fat, the idea is that your metabolism is impacted to run at its most efficient level. The diet also emphasizes getting the right amounts of fruit, vegetables and lean sources of protein. The right combination of foods results in an increased metabolism and weight loss. Designing meals that meet these requirements can be tricky, but the program offers a range of ideas. You can also purchase cookbooks with recipes intended for the followers of the diet as well. But some people still wonder what they are allowed to drink when following the diet.

You can still drink juice and either low fat or skim milk, as long as you count the calories and grams of protein, fat and carbohydrates. But since our bodies are made mostly of water, water is the recommended drink. The health benefits of drinking enough water cannot be underestimated. Water helps to flush toxins out of the body, it keeps the cells and metabolism supplies with the water needed to work properly and it quenches thirst better than any other fluid you can ingest. The Zone Diet guidelines require that followers drink at least sixty-four ounces (or eight cups) of fluid every day. If you are one of the many people who simply don't like the taste of water, there are other options for you.

You can add a squeeze of lemon, lime or orange to your water to give it a little bit of extra flavor. Or, you can purchase bottled waters that have a slightly fruity flavoring to them so that they taste more like a seltzer than plain water. Pour them in a glass full of ice for a refreshing beverage. It's important, however, to read the labels, even for water. Since the Zone Diet guidelines require you to limit sugar and carbohydrates, you don't want to take in sugar unknowingly. Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go and refill it whenever it gets empty. Soon enough you can change your habit of drinking soda, tea or juice, especially when you see the good results in your weight loss efforts.

If you are a coffee or tea drinker, you will need to make some changes as well. The Zone Diet guidelines instruct you to eliminate caffeine from your diet. This change can be difficult and cause withdrawal symptoms like headaches. It might be a good idea to gradually start eliminating caffeine from your diet in the weeks before you begin following the Zone Diet guidelines. Decaffeinated coffee or tea will let you still enjoy the taste of coffee or tea without the caffeine. The same is true of sodas. Regular sodas should be completely eliminated. They simply have too much sugar. Diet sodas come in enough different flavors that you should be able to find one that you like. However, you do need to switch to decaffeinated versions in order to improve your chances of success on the program.

Alcohol is one other beverage that will have to be limited or eliminated. There have been some studies that have shown that moderate alcohol consumption can actually have some positive effects on your health, particularly your heart. If you are currently drinking alcohol as part of a program to protect your cardiovascular health, you shouldn't stop without discussing it with a health professional first. However, the Zone Diet doesn't require that you totally eliminate all alcohol from your routine, just that you limit it to occasional use. There's no reason that you can't continue to enjoy an alcoholic beverage from time to time. Just keep in mind that the more beverages that you replace with water, the more good you are doing for your body and the faster you are likely to see weight loss success.
