Green vegetables with a distinctive shape and aroma add to the taste of the dish as the soup becomes more savory. But, who would have thought if the stem of celery had many health benefits for adults and children? See the narrative of Mommy Junis Kenshi from the Babyologist below.<br />
<br />
We must be familiar with celery. Celery is one of the herbs used in the leaves to give flavor to the soup, as well as other stir-fries. In addition, the leaves can also be consumed raw. During this time, we only know that the leaves we consume are used for cooking purposes. Apparently, besides the leaves, the stem from celery can also be consumed and has many benefits.<br />

<br />
There may be some people who don't like the aroma of celery leaves, but don't worry, because the celery sticks after cooking don't have the smell of leaves and the taste is good too!<br />
<br />
Celery can be cooked as an MPASI menu for the baby. The nutrients contained in stem celery are very good for the growth of the little one. The benefits of celery stems are:<br />
<br />
<h4>
1. Rich in Vitamins</h4>
<br />
Celery stems are rich in vitamin A which is needed to maintain healthy eyes, bones, teeth, and skin. Besides vitamin A, celery also contains vitamin C which is used by the body to produce collagen and prevent damage caused by free radicals. Celery Rod also contains high vitamin K, iron, potassium and minerals needed by the body.<br />
<br />
<h4>
2. Fiber</h4>
<br />
Celery stems also include vegetables that are high in fiber, which can help the digestive system function and reduce the risk of diseases such as constipation and hemorrhoids.<br />
<br />
<h4>
3. Vitamin content remains intact</h4>
<br />
Most vegetables that have been processed or cooked will lose their vitamins, while the celery stems are different. The vitamin content of celery will remain 80% intact even after cooking.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
MPASI menu</h3>
<br />
This celery stalk is also very suitable to be used as an MPASI menu in infants and used as finger food. As we know, vegetables that are used as finger food, in general, are carrots and broccoli. Well, celery stems can also be used as an alternative choice of finger food, Moms.<br />
<br />
In addition to the benefits that are important for the body, how to process it is also easy. This celery stalk can be steamed, or it can be cooked gravy. Usually, I process the soup with chicken bones, chopped chicken, carrots or red beans. Believe me, this vegetable has no sharp smell like celery leaves. If steamed, it may be steamed for a long time so that the soft textures are suitable for children. And for adults, celery stems can be juiced or made into smoothies.<br />
<br />
Well, aside from the important benefits of this celery stem, it turns out there is also a shortage of celery stems, which are hard to find on the market. As we know that celery is usually used is the leaves, so the stem is rarely found in the market. Usually, it must be bought in a supermarket that sells imported vegetables or organic vegetables. However, celery stems are still important and good for the health of children and adults.Bear Pinterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00118738122562983797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742945796226587841.post-33783552201209565962019-05-02T16:45:00.000+02:002019-05-02T16:45:54.140+02:00Tips for Training Children to be Disciplined and Independent when EatingTraining children for discipline and independence can be started from daily activities such as eating. The following tips are shared by Mommy Ratna Sari Nur Holik from the Babyologist.<br />
<br />
Infusing a habit with children since childhood will greatly affect their future.<br />
<br />

<img alt="Tips for Training Children to be Disciplined and Independent when Eating" border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="468" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUf62vl32F5wn5YdsVSi20XhNeauSZoaBgcAf-QsdyBRq94hLRIALLnUxJpyGHvGJpuN_NyCDVtbCF6qeHkwv9YWZmNuFnktX7l0JR-eQZPYlHl9-8ZxRwnjVhmbSZ-_dsh0YJeguYjPT/s640/Children+to+be+Disciplined.jpg" title="Tips for Training Children to be Disciplined and Independent when Eating" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<br />
One of them starts from a small thing, disciplined in terms of eating. I am the type of mother who is really NO if the child eats must be carried and carried and walking. Far from before Shanum MPASI, my husband and I really prepared everything related to MPASI. We often discuss how and how we "tell" Shanum that eating is not just the process of putting food into the mouth. More than that we want Shanum to know that eating is something to be grateful for. Eat it needs. Eating is not a game.<br />
<br />
And how do we teach children independently by eating alone? Easy? Of course, not, it all takes a long time and process.<br />
<br />
And this is the way I do so that children are disciplined and independent in terms of eating:<br />
<br />
1. Get used to children sitting when eating, not while carrying especially walking.<br />
<br />
2. Accompany the child. Children will always need support from their parents, the presence of their parents makes them feel safe and will be more optimistic and confident when learning and meeting new things.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Do not have other activities when eating</h3>
<br />
3. Do not have other activities when accompanying children to eat. For example, his parents even play gadgets or watch TV. Children too, do not have other activities while eating during the disciplined learning process in terms of eating.<br />
<br />
4. But don't be too focused so the child gets bored. For example, can while explaining and introducing any food that the child is eating.<br />
<br />
5. I believe in "children see, children do". Always invite your child to eat together. So he can see how his parents eat. So show how to eat well and right. Because with frequent involvement in a habit, children will be interested and quickly imitate.<br />
<br />
6. Position it as comfortable as possible when it's time to eat. Shanum myself has made it a habit to sit on a high chair/baby chair when I eat from the age of 6 months to be exact when I start MPASI.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Teach yourself to eat</h3>
<br />
7. Teach children to eat alone so that the child is independent. But slowly, see the child's ability. If the child is seen to be able to hold the spoon, you can immediately practice and teach the child to eat using a spoon. If not, give finger food to make it easier for children to eat their own food. So do not force it, slowly according to the child's ability.<br />
<br />
8. Patient and consistent. That's the key. Don't give up quickly Moms. Everything needs a process. Moreover, it is a new thing for children. Appreciate each process. Appreciate their abilities. Give full trust to the child so that he is also confident and confident that he can.<br />
<br />
9. Compact with your husband or with people at home. Do not let us as parents desperately instill good habits but instead break them with others. The child must be confused.<br />
<br />
10. Involve the child in every positive activity in the house. It's not just a matter of eating. So that children get used to without being forced.Bear Pinterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00118738122562983797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742945796226587841.post-57160307839551477922019-05-02T16:38:00.000+02:002019-05-02T16:38:05.050+02:00Often Considered Unhealthy, Quail Eggs Turns to Save 5 GoodnessQuail eggs are often avoided because they are considered to increase cholesterol levels, it turns out to be rich in vitamins B1, B2, and A.<br />
<br />
Compared to ordinary chicken eggs, quail eggs have six times more vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 fifteen times more.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Because there are so many vitamins from quail eggs, there are also more benefits. Quoted from the Organic Facts on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, some of the benefits of quail eggs are;<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
1. Sharpen vision</h3>
<br />
High vitamin A from quail eggs helps sharpen vision, according to one 2003 study from Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology.<br />
<br />
In addition to sharpening, this also helps prevent the development of cataracts from the eye.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Benefits of Quail Eggs</h3>
<br />
<h4>
2. Sweeping toxins or unhealthy substances from the body</h4>
<br />
The study entitled 'Hepatoprotective effect of Quail egg against carbon tetra chloride induced hepatic damage in Albino rats' explains that quail eggs help remove toxins from the bloodstream. This also helps prevent the size of the bladder and kidney stones from getting bigger.<br />
<br />
<h4>
3. Prevent chronic diseases</h4>
<br />
Because of the significant levels of vitamin C and vitamin A, quail eggs help neutralize and protect overall health. This was tested from a 2008 study entitled 'Lycopene-enriched quail egg as functional food for humans'<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Quail Eggs to Treat Allergies</h3>
<br />
<h4>
4. Treating allergies</h4>
<br />
Research from the 1994 Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology stated that quail eggs that are high in ovomucoid proteins act as natural allergy drugs in the body.<br />
<br />
<h4>
5. Increase body metabolism</h4>
<br />
A study entitled 'Quail egg yolk (Coturnix coturnix japonica) enriched with omega-3 fatty acids' in 2009, states that vitamin B from quail eggs results in an increase in body metabolism, including hormone function.Bear Pinterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00118738122562983797noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742945796226587841.post-87593725051492957912019-03-08T09:30:00.003+01:002019-03-08T09:31:11.398+01:00Is Honey Really Helpful?Experts have long claimed that consuming lots of sugar is very dangerous for health. Eating excessive sweets can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and poor brain function. Calorie content in high sugar can also cause obesity.<br />
<br />
However, many people believe honey is a "natural sugar" that is more nutritious and safe for health.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgedzcgeAopjmrfPUMFrBZrkYt3CkZmnLatSqVwBnVs6MtybIqApRNv4LX6TxN6iKlxJzb5bxlRHw3fXPLdxMohmJUu01aWs9W7DSqnybirKrXwlz_Ei5N45U8AVxpsBaVvDnE2grpFmd8x/s640/honey.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Consumption of honey is indeed better than artificial sugar such as corn syrup which contains high fructose.<br />
<br />
This is why those who do the paleo diet use honey as a sweetener for the food they consume.<br />
<br />
Honey is a sweet and thick liquid produced by working honey bees from flower nectar. The taste and color varies depending on the flowers visited by bees when collecting honey. Orange flower honey, for example, is made from bees that pollinate citrus plants. Then, the farmer extracts honeycomb containing honey to remove substances in wax. For those who have problems with teeth, sweetness in honey will not make the teeth hurt.<br />
<br />
Research published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research has proven the benefits of honey for performance in exercise. Research was conducted by recruiting nine bicycle racing athletes who were given a tablespoon of honey, dextrose (a form of glucose), or placebo gel.<br />
<br />
All three types of substances are given before and when participants exercise bicycle 10-mile intervals from the simulated 40-mile race. As a result, those who took placebo had worse performance. While those who consume honey and dextrose both increase speed and strength towards the end of the trial.<br />
<br />
This finding shows that natural sugars such as honey are as effective as helping endurance athletes, including runners.<br />
<br />
"In the end, any carbohydrate can be used to supply energy to athletes," said Lori Nedescu, a sports diet expert.<br />
<br />
According to Nedescu, the way is to make sure we can tolerate carbohydrate sources under high performance pressure. Meanwhile, honey can be well tolerated by most people because of the ratio of fructose and glucose. There is other evidence that shows the benefits of honey for body performance.<br />
<br />
One study showed that consuming honey after exercising can improve subsequent endurance performance compared to just drinking water. According to Nedescu, people need to immediately replenish their depleted glycogen muscles after long and heavy exercise. "Simple sources that can be digested quickly, such as honey, produce the best energy," said Nedescu. So, a spoonful of honey after exercise is an easy way to regain energy.<br />
<br />
Eating foods that contain low glycemic carbohydrates such as honey before exercise has also been shown to improve endurance performance, help maintain sugar levels and change fuel use during exercise. Nedescu said, filling energy with sugar sources such as honey before exercising is an easy way to ensure the body is able to work hard.<br />
<br />
German scientists also found that men who consumed about three tablespoons of honey 90 minutes before exercising a bicycle, experienced less oxidative stress and DNA damage due to the effects of exercise.<br />
<br />
Researchers suspect that the natural antioxidants contained in honey can play a role in helping to reduce some of the less desirable effects of intense exercise on the body such as inflammation. It could be that consuming other antioxidants such as blueberries before exercising also has the same benefits.Bear Pinterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00118738122562983797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742945796226587841.post-8591034126131428202018-10-15T10:18:00.002+02:002018-10-15T10:24:58.913+02:00How to treat stomach acid at home<div style="text-align: justify;">
The body uses stomach acid to digest food. There are times when the amount of stomach acid becomes excessive, so it is likely to cause interference with the digestive system. In addition to changing lifestyles, various natural ingredients may help relieve symptoms of your stomach acid.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="How to treat stomach acid at home" border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="650" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJxb5F-bZjutUMvLF01WXMV6JbslPmZElRjJGev9Ls2FesQuocb9WqbeDAdSx4SFWxFdB4bys6DQtsAmaHEPHd3-QxVhfxgHIU1REgPBbRNOUg8elm3K6ZSiTBzKUcQBa8Cf5uyikIeSZ/s640/cara-mengobati-asam-lambung-di-rumah.jpg" title="How to treat stomach acid at home" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<br />
Gastric acid can rise to the esophagus due to the valve between the esophagus and stomach not functioning properly. This condition is called GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Symptoms caused by GERD include chest pain or heartburn, difficulty swallowing, mouth feels sour / bitter because stomach acid rises to the esophagus, and the stomach feels uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
The exact cause of weakening the valve between the lower esophagus and the stomach is not clearly known, but there are some things that can increase a person's risk of developing GERD, including:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Certain medical conditions, such as esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus), gastritis (inflammation of the stomach wall), and gastroparesis (slowing down of the gastric movement).</li>
<li>Congenital abnormalities in the stomach, such as hiatus and gastroschisis hernias.</li>
<li>Overweight or obese.</li>
<li>Infection of H. pylori bacteria.</li>
<li>Smoke</li>
<li>Side effects of certain drugs, such as aspirin.</li>
<li>Consumption of certain foods and beverages, such as fatty foods, chocolate, coffee and alcohol in large quantities.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Change Lifestyle</h3>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Treating stomach acid cannot be separated from efforts to improve lifestyle, among others by:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Avoid trigger foods and regulate meal portions</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
GERD can be triggered by foods that contain lots of fat. Fatty foods are digested longer by the body so that the stomach produces more stomach acid and risks rising to the esophagus. In addition, avoid coffee, chocolate, alcohol, and spicy foods because it risks making the lower esophagus valve relax so as to facilitate stomach acid to rise into the esophagus. In addition, try to eat small portions but often and chew slowly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Avoid unhealthy habits</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Smoking and the direct habit of lying down after eating are some things that can cause stomach acid to rise into the esophagus. Therefore, it is important to avoid these habits in order to prevent the appearance of stomach acid disease. Give a gap of at least 3 hours to lie down after eating.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Don't wear tight clothes on the stomach</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Avoid wearing tight clothing on the abdomen, because it can suppress the stomach, causing stomach contents to rise into the esophagus and vomiting. To be safer, use loose clothing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Do not do movements that might suppress the stomach</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course you still have to exercise to always be healthy. However, avoid doing movements that might put pressure on the stomach, such as jumping or rocking. When you exercise you have to pay attention, don't do it when you finish eating. Give a gap of about 2-4 hours after eating.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Enough sleep</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Reflux of stomach acid can be triggered if your body produces stress hormones due to lack of sleep. Do not ignore this condition because it can cause complications, cause the disease to become chronic, and ultimately can reduce the quality and life expectancy. Improve your sleep pattern so that sleep can be fulfilled.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Sleep with a higher head and chest position</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All you have to do is increase your upper body position to be higher than the lower body. The upper body that needs to be elevated is the waist up. If you just add a pillow behind your head, it's usually not effective.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
Treating Gastric Acid with Natural Herbs</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At home, you can also try making your own natural concoctions. Here are some examples of natural herbs to treat stomach acid:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Ginger</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can naturally treat heartburn and other digestive problems. The use of ginger to overcome the symptoms of GERD or reflux of stomach acid is to process it as a warm drink. In addition to raw ginger, you can enjoy warm ginger drinks from ginger powder products sold on the market.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Licorice or sweet root</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Licorice or also called sweet root, is believed to overcome problems in the digestive system, such as heartburn or heartburn. The chemicals contained in this plant are called can reduce swelling, and cure inflammation or injury in the body.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Marshmallow</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marshmallow leaves and roots are commonly used to treat stomach ulcers, diarrhea, constipation, inflammation of the lining of the stomach, as well as pain and swelling of the mucous membranes lining the respiratory tract.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marshmallow contains chemicals that can relieve cough and help heal wounds, by reducing inflammation and fighting certain microbes. Marshmallow also forms a protective layer on the skin and lining of the digestive tract.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Chamomile tea</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chamomile tea has often been used to relieve abdominal pain and heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and is traditionally believed to overcome insomnia.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These herbal ingredients may be a natural and effective way to reduce the symptoms of GERD. However, you need to know that the efficacy and effectiveness of these herbal ingredients have not been supported by adequate research and clinical evidence. So, you are still advised to consult a doctor before using it.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
In addition to herbal ingredients, there are several foods that can help relieve symptoms of stomach acid. Among others are:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Vegetables, such as broccoli, asparagus, green vegetables, beans, cauliflower, potatoes, and cucumbers.</li>
<li>Oatmeal and whole wheat bread. This breakfast menu made from whole wheat is a source of fiber that can absorb stomach acid and relieve reflux symptoms.</li>
<li>Non-citrus fruits, such as melons, bananas, apples, and pears.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
Lean meat, such as chicken, turkey, fish, and low-fat seafood. Meat it by grilling, burning or boiling.</div>
<div>
Efforts to treat stomach acid can be done independently through lifestyle changes. Although there are no natural ingredients that can repair esophageal damage due to GERD, some types of natural herbs may help relieve symptoms. In addition, you can buy various medications to control stomach acid at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. However, if the symptoms do not improve, immediately see a doctor so that you can get the right treatment.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When a special diet and exercise does not work to lower cholesterol, you may need other intake that can help control cholesterol levels. However, the use of cholesterol drugs such as statins usually makes some people feel worried about the side effects it causes. If it were so, cholesterol-lowering supplements could be one of your alternatives in an effort to lower cholesterol levels in the body.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="745" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCX2eaAph5GkA8lc_j0nF1zTH8rOy-ClKrj2rR6RjzUOvPK03XWOUvNOAr3R3xR3jM9lVnQbXekvlpj6-PV938Pplrs8x5W82R1sa1kMTuHyTi_DMPpNxcPOZC47JMSOY1HZSwLlRsxLDy/s640/nutrition2.png" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The type of cholesterol-lowering supplement that doctors may recommend</h3>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
1. Fish oil</h4>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Omega-3 levels in fish oil, EPA and DHA, have been shown to reduce triglyceride levels by 30 percent, minimize swelling and blood clotting, and increase good cholesterol (HDL). Studies show that eating simple fish oil about 250 mg per day can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, high levels of mercury and pollutants in some types of fish oil also need attention. Choose clinically tested supplements free of heavy metals such as mercury and lead and other environmental toxins, including polychlorinated biphenyl or PCBs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Side effects: Can cause the tongue to feel an unpleasant sensation, bad breath, vomiting, or diarrhea. In addition, these supplements can also interact negatively with blood-thinning drugs such as warfarin (coumadin, jantoven, and others).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Psyllium</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Psyllium or better known as Plantago ovata is a plant that only grows in India. However, this herb has long been consumed as a supplement derived from natural dietary fiber sources. This plant is a type of water soluble fiber that can dissolve cholesterol and lower triglycerides and total cholesterol, especially for people with type 2 diabetes. Supplements containing psyllium can be an alternative option to help you lower cholesterol levels in the blood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Side effects: May cause abdominal bloating due to excess gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, or nausea. In addition, this supplement can also reduce the ability of the intestines to absorb some nutrients such as calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Niacin</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Niacin is a B vitamin supplement that can increase good cholesterol (HDL) and lower bad cholesterol (LDL) by up to 30 percent. This supplement needs to be drunk in large doses for the effect can be felt, ie as much as 1 to 3 grams a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Side effects: May cause headache, nausea, vomiting, itching, and redness. In rare cases it can also cause liver damage if consumed in the long run.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Sterols and stanols</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both of these compounds are shown to lower bad cholesterol by 9 to 20 percent. The Food and Drug Administration also states that both of these compounds can reduce the risk of heart disease if consumed by 400 mg per dose per day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Side effects: May cause diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and react negatively on other cholesterol treatments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
5. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These compounds belong to a group of powerful antioxidants that are beneficial to heart health by lowering bad cholesterol levels in the body. In addition, CoQ10 can also help lower blood pressure. However, this new study was conducted on mice and still needs further research on whether it works effectively in humans.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you decide to take cholesterol-lowering supplements as an adjunct treatment, consult your doctor first. Because not all supplements are safe for your body and have the possibility to react negatively to the drugs you are taking.</div>

What are the Dangers?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bottled mineral water is a quick and compact solution to relieve thirst. However, a large study found that some bottled mineral water products sold on the market have been contaminated with microscopic plastic particles that allegedly seep in during the packing process. So, what harm if these plastic particles are ingested into the body?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="312" data-original-width="415" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQj8oMucpId6ATPDKhi2z9P5l5KqsPuOZWaiBlvb4uLrV8yVlGqErakRPAQDRjWk_zO5o-zEHe6oSrM30rIwoPbOA6x0yh1dHhesBeXXt3wzOH2HHG-2YqbhAG5mKnoofbGhiJ1yQUKaop/s1600/plastic.png" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Many branded bottled mineral water containing microscopic plastic particles</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A team of scientists at New York State University studied water samples from 259 bottled mineral water purchased from nine different countries <b>Indonesia, Brazil, China, India, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Thailand and the United States</b>. All of the mineral water samples are known to be produced by 11 different major mineral water producers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They revealed that microplastic particles were contained in 93% of the sample. The study also found that there are at least about 325 plastic particles per liter of water. However, some bottles have a concentration of more than 10,000 micro-plastic particles per liter, with several pieces as wide as a strand of human hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The research team later also found that there are various types of plastic particles found in the bottled water samples. Among them are polypropylene, nylon, polystyrene, and polyethylene. Up to about 65 percent of the plastic particles found are fractions, not fibers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only 17 out of 259 bottles are completely free from plastic contamination.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Is it dangerous if swallowed?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Microplastic is a very small plastic particles and not visible. That is why, these micro plastic particles can escape or avoid the filtering process. There is even much research showing that microplastic exists in almost every environment on Earth and can be found in the hulls of many types of seabirds and other marine animals, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a recent report, microplastics are also widely distributed in bottled water. However, health experts from different parts of the world have not been able to fully assure the health risks of microplastic consumption on health.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A small study in lab animals found that microplastic contamination can cause cancer, hormonal disorders, and other health problems. Sherri Mason, a professor of chemistry at the University of East Angalia, said that microplastic consumption is associated with an increased risk of cancer, ADHD, autism, and decreased sperm count, quoted from DW.com.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The concern of some experts is that plastic is a material that can not be recycled and can not be decomposed. They argue that it is not impossible that eventually the microplastic component can penetrate the body's cells and be absorbed into the organs of the body.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, there is not enough solid evidence of microplastic effects on human health. The risk will depend a lot on how much amount is digested and how long the particles are lodged in the human digestive system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Bring your own drinking bottles safer and better</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The existence of reports on microplastic particles in bottled mineral water does not necessarily serve as a reason for you to stop drinking water. Many benefits that you can get from diligent drinking water, not just against dehydration alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a precaution, it would be better if you bring your own drink bottle. In addition to preventing any possibility of unwanted risk, bringing your own drink bottle can also be a step to love the earth by reducing the amount of plastic waste.</div>

<img border="0" data-original-height="489" data-original-width="751" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU5ouLRnOB1N1fqsv-Y_iANDvNOTEsDDP531dYZY9xUWqCUs3-FcJ_GnzNYmTAJn-MwGuj8diIh3pItzxPGK5RinRPvRy2RsykGj4MatOK2i8F6DfZ6wrOzLtQFzkAW8lsKh8TMdfag6SO/s640/Appetite.png" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Nutrition is important to increase appetite, so that the scales rise</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Launched from Healthline page, some of the nutrients that can increase your appetite are:</div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
1. Zinc</h4>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the symptoms caused by zinc deficiency in the body is loss of appetite. Therefore, the content of zinc at food sources is believed to provide an increased appetite effect. Many people who have certain health problems will lose their appetite so lazy to eat that in the end the nutritional needs in the body is not fulfilled properly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Dialysis and Transplantation study says that people who underwent dialysis due to kidney failure and were given zinc supplements for 60 days increased appetite compared to those who were not given zinc supplements every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Food sources of zinc</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Men aged 19 to 29 years need at least 13 milligrams (mg) of zinc per day, while women ages 19 to 21 require about 10 mg per day to avoid the body from zinc deficiency. If zinc levels in the body are not sufficient, it will arise various symptoms such as loss of appetite, the immune system worsens, diarrhea, lethargy, and weight loss without cause.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Take it easy, you can get a source of zinc by eating foods such as broccoli, oysters, potatoes, corn, wheat, beef, and so forth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Vitamin B1</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you feel a loss of appetite lately, maybe one of the causes that you lack of vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 or often called thiamine is one of several vitamins that are allegedly able to revive your appetite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reporting from Calories Secret, vitamin B1 deficiency in the body can cause you lack of appetite. Not only that, weight loss and increased energy expenditure are also the effects of this vitamin deficiency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Food sources of vitamin B1</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to enrich the adequacy of vitamin B1 in the body, you can eat foods such as cereals, grains, eggs, milk, green vegetables, and so on. However, although these vitamins are beneficial in increasing appetite, most vitamin B1 intake can also interfere with your appetite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It eventually results in symptoms such as diarrhea, loss of appetite, and nausea and vomiting. Thus, it is important to maintain normal levels of vitamin B1 in the body that for men aged 19 to 29 years around 1.4 milligrams and 1.1 mg for women of the same age.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Omega-3</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
High sources of omega-3 are contained in fish oil supplements. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that you need to get from food sources because your body can not produce it yourself. Omega-3 is touted also beneficial to increase one's appetite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quoted from Healthy Eating, cancer patients who consume omega-3 regularly in the form of fish oil supplements every day showed a faster weight gain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the average fish oil supplement contains about 40 calories per teaspoon. Therefore, do not consume fish oil in too many doses because it could potentially increase total calorie intake. Do not let this lead to unwanted weight gain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Food sources of omega-3</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only from fish oil alone, other sources of omega-3 also you get by eating fish, seafood such as shrimp, eggs, grains, nuts, oysters, and dark green vegetables such as spinach, kale, and bok choy.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overcoming bad breath from certain foods is usually enough to brush your teeth or rinse with mouthwash. However, it is not so if the cause of your bad breath is onion, especially onion, onion, or raw garlic. Often, brushing your teeth will not repel the onion scent from your breath.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="525" data-original-width="700" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYSkdxTyGkPjlF4d2oAIsvT_1b7hTgdzZ-HpMQ9NRgDIEqHlZ3M1852pDMFtCCGLNIlPeloLJNXQqep-okWA6Lle5ydQ0ZcXFU8vI8a7mX2iGffzWlszWNuZjwqe896w5APpYc4knS6dnH/s640/garlic.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Why is the onion odor difficult to remove from the mouth?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Garlic and other members of the allium family of plants (onions, onions, onions) produce cysteine sulfoxides which give different flavors and smells. The sulfate compound is very similar to a compound produced by anaerobic bacteria that causes bad breath. The compound that causes onion-smelling breath is allyl methyl sulfide (AMS). AMS is a gas that is absorbed into the blood during the processing of onions in the body. From the blood, the gas is then transferred to the lungs where it is then exhaled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of these AMSs are even removed from the pores of the skin. This is why garlic breath is very difficult to get rid of. No matter how much you clean and brush your mouth, the smell of onions will still be in the air as you exhale from the lungs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
How to remove onion odor</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To eliminate bad breath while eating onions, you can eat some of the following foods:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
1. Apple</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fresh apples contain enzymes that have ingredients like natural deodorants. Therefore, it can act against the onion odor produced by cysteine sulfoxide in onions. The presence of this enzyme is visible from the change in the color of apples that become brown when peeled. You are advised to eat apples directly after eating onions or onion-based foods, in order to prevent or neutralize the smell of onions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Milk</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drinking a glass of milk after or while eating a food containing onions can repel garlic smells. A study from Ohio State University in 2010 found, that drinks containing high levels of fat, such as milk, can help reduce the smell of garlic and also cover the smell of garlic during meals. Both regular milk and low-fat milk can reduce sulfur in garlic which is the cause of a strong odor. But in between, milk that has high fat levels will get the best results, because fat is effective in neutralizing odors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Parsley and mint</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some fresh herbs like parsley and mint contain a strong oil, which can help to beat the smell of smell in the mouth. According to Sally Cram, DDS, a spokesman for the American Dental Association, said that the plant can act as a gargle to mask the odor. Plus, they leave a pleasant smell. Although the results will only be seen a few minutes after taking them, but this is better than nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Spinach</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spinach contains the same polyphenols as apples, which can break down the sulfate compounds present in the onions. The best part is that the garlic and spinach if cooked together has a delicious flavor, so you can not say no to this food.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
5. Orange</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Orange works as a natural deodorant for the smell of onions in your mouth, because oranges have antibacterial ingredients. After consuming garlic, you can squeeze the orange into your mouth and even you can use it to wash your hands to remove the onion odor on the hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
6. Coffee beans</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coffee has a strong taste made by coffee beans. This coffee bean powder has a slightly stronger taste and odor reflex to ward off the smell of onions. You can mengunyak coffee beans for a while to smell the onion go from your mouth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
7. Green tea</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Green tea is not only good for health, but the enzymes and antioxidants present in it can help remove strong garlic odors on the mouth. You can consume green tea immediately after consuming onions or even be able to drink it when you eat foods containing onions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please note that the various foods above can eliminate the odor only for a while. Actually, the best way to get rid of the onion smell is to stop eating it, this is the only way to really get rid of the smell on the mouth. If keeping the onions off your food is not a good choice for you, then the various ways above you can do. However, please note that, although you may have neutralized the onion compound in the mouth, but the sulphate compound is still exhaled from the lungs, so that your breath will come back again.</div>

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The benefits of eating raw garlic</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The process of cooking and processing garlic causes the loss of various nutrients and essential ingredients. So, eating raw garlic like eating this fruit will ensure all the essential nutrients are not lost. If you regularly eat raw garlic, at least twice a week, you can get the following benefits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
1. Lowering the risk of cancer</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raw garlic is rich in bioactive sulfur compounds. According to the National Cancer Institute in the United States, these compounds can prevent the formation of cancer cells in the body. This is because bioactive sulfur serves to repair or kill damaged body cells, protect the body from carcinogenic substances, and inhibit the spread of unhealthy cells.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Various scientific studies around the world have proven the efficacy of eating raw garlic to kill or reduce various types of cancer cells such as breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
2. Lowering cholesterol levels</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another study conducted by experts at Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences also revealed that eating raw garlic can increase good cholesterol levels while lowering bad cholesterol levels in the body. To get the conclusion, the study participants published in the Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences was asked to consume 10 grams of raw garlic for 42 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
3. Prevent high blood pressure and control hypertension</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Polysulfide content in raw garlic proved able to control blood pressure for people with hypertension. According to a scientific journal Maturitas, polysulfide will help relieve and open blood vessels so as not to get too much pressure. No wonder if eating raw garlic for three months was able to lower blood pressure up to 10 mmHg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
4. Prevent heart disease</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The good news comes from a study published in The Journal of Nutrition. In the study, it was revealed that raw garlic can help reduce the buildup of plaque on the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that pump blood to the heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eating raw garlic regularly also works to prevent the formation and buildup of plaque on coronary arteries. This is certainly very beneficial for those of you who have different types of disorders of the heart and metabolic system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sharing a fairly common disease can be eased with the help of raw garlic rich in allicin. Active allicin compounds found in garlic have antiviral, antimicrobial, and antifungal functions that kill potent organisms that can cause disease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A study in the journal Advances in Therapy proves that eating raw garlic in flu season can increase endurance while preventing the disease.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
6. Overcoming hair loss</h4>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mesothelioma is one of the rare lung cancer, but the most dangerous and deadly that usually occurs in the membrane around the lungs, called pleura. The main cause of cancer that attacks lung cells called mesothelium is exposure to asbestos dust.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Asbestos can take the form of roof boards, minerals, fibers and various preparations asbestos products can cause dust and inhaled along with air. Usually this happens in industrial environments, construction sites, carpentry and building materials stores. When asbestos fibers and dust are inhaled into the lungs, then the dust will stop inside the lungs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you continue to inhale asbestos dust, then dust will gather and settle in the lungs. This is the cause of cancer and the risk will increase if you are an active smoker or have a family history of cancer patients.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cancer will be very lethal because the average survival time for malignant mesothelioma or mesothelioma cancer ranges from 4 to 18 months, and about 10 percent of patients live at least five years after being diagnosed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Clinical symptoms that occur in mesothelioma are:</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dyspnea and nonpleuritic chest wall pain are the most common symptoms of malignant mesothelioma, (Approximately 60-90% of patients experience symptoms of chest pain or dyspnea.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In patients with malignant mesothelioma, physical findings of pleural effusion are usually known by percussion and auscultation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In rare cases, malignant mesothelioma manifests as cord compression, brachial plexopathy, Horner syndrome, or superior vena cava syndrome. Death is usually caused by infection or respiratory failure from the development of mesothelioma.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main areas that often occur in the pleura (87%), peritoneum (5.1%), and pericardium (0.4%).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mesothelioma is a cancer that attacks the mesothelium, which is a thin layer of tissue that envelopes most of the internal organs. Some organs have mesothelium, including the lungs (pleura), abdomen (abdomen), heart (pericardial), and testicles (tunica vaginalis). This cancer is classified as aggressive and many sufferers are not successfully treated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="650" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50Cd2FxwUjfhSF9N5j5HwtVvVQTRs4mjKThxYWwd4LzPrsbs4JEhANkEtMm6otWtIJAVw9Jix_dyn5XDXCR_-06wR6UQ0O-0yG8y2TWM2meVBIhjGEdaAEJMpRCp64vHYIUe60SrPXCih/s400/mesothelioma.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mesothelioma most commonly attacks the mesothelium of the lungs (called pleural mesothelioma) and the chest wall. Another type of mesothelioma less commonly encountered is peritoneal mesothelioma, which attacks the mesothelium of the abdominal cavity. Mesothelioma is different from benign mesothelioma in the chest which is also called solitary fibrous tumor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Causes of Mesothelioma</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cancer diseases that attack organs start from a cell mutation that causes its growth to become uncontrolled until then doubled. Experts still can not confirm the cause of these cell mutations. However, the interaction between lifestyle, derivative and environmental conditions is alleged to be a factor that triggers cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the exact cause of mesothelioma is unknown, the major risk factor of mesothelioma is asbestos. This disease is rarely encountered before the commercial use of asbestos begins. Asbestos is a mineral used as a material for making brakes, floors, roofs, and insulation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Asbestos dust is inhaled or swallowed will accumulate in the lungs and abdomen for a long time, usually about 20-50 years, before it eventually develops into mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is also more commonly diagnosed in men than in women, and in people over the age of 65 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Some other factors that can trigger this disease, namely:</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">An environment where the soil contains asbestos.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Living in an area or living with someone who has work related to exposure to Asbestos can stick also in skin and clothing so as to bring asbestos into the home or other environment.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Ever exposed to asbestos or have family members suffering from mesothelioma.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Symptoms of Mesothelioma</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Symptoms of mesothelioma may vary based on where the cancer cells are located. Pericardial mesothelioma may cause chest pain and difficulty breathing, while mesothelioma tunica vaginalis will show symptoms of swelling of the testicles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pleural mesothelioma has the following symptoms:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cough accompanied by unbearable pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Shortness of breath due to the buildup of fluid in the chest.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">An unhealthy lump on the tissue behind the breast skin.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Weight loss for no apparent reason.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Often overwhelmed by excessive fatigue.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Fever accompanied by sweat especially at night.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Swollen fingertips.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Chest pain that feels under the ribs.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peritoneal mesothelioma has the following symptoms:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Pain in the abdominal area.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">There is a lump on the abdominal tissue.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Swelling in the abdominal area.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Weight loss without cause.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Diarrhea or constipation.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Given the symptoms of mesothelioma are not specific and can be associated with other conditions, then you should see a doctor immediately feel the symptoms above, especially if there is a history of exposure to asbestos.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Diagnosis of Mesothelioma</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The examination will begin with anamnesa about the symptoms suffered, personal and family medical history. Anamnesa is a conversation performed by the doctor to the patient directly as a way to get data about the condition and medical problems that are being experienced by the patient. In addition to anamnesa, the doctor will perform a physical examination to check for lumps or other abnormal signs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, the doctor may instruct the investigation to be performed as part of the effort to diagnose the disease. Common checks are performed to diagnose mesothelioma, among other X-rays to check if there are chest disorders and CT scan to check the chest and abdominal area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Biopsies or other tests may also be performed to determine which illness causes the symptoms to appear. A biopsy is a laboratory examination of a small amount of tissue that can be taken from different parts of the body, depending on the location of the illness. The tissue is then examined in the laboratory to determine what cell types cause abnormalities, as well as to know the type of cancer they have. As for some types of biopsy that may be recommended for the diagnosis of mesothelioma, namely:</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Biopsy uses a small fine needle to pull tissue or fluid from the chest or abdomen.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Laparoscopy - Biopsy by making small wedges in the abdominal area to take tissue. This procedure is aided by very small operation and camera devices.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Laparotomy - Biopsy by dissecting open the abdomen to take tissue to be examined for the presence of disease or other abnormalities.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Torakoskopi or VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) - Biopsy by making a small wedge between the ribs to insert a camera and a small operation device into the chest cavity and take a small sample of the tissue to be examined.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Torakotomy - Biopsy by dissecting an area between the ribs to examine the area, whether there are signs of illness and taking tissue samples if necessary.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the diagnosis is obtained, the doctor will conduct further tests on the patient's body, such as MRI imaging tests and PET mapping, to determine the stage of the disease and treatment steps that can be taken. There are four stages (stage) in pleural mesothelioma, while the spreading stage in mesothelioma of the more rare species is still not known with certainty. Four stages of pleural mesothelioma consist of:</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Stage I - The condition of cancer is still local, which is only in one area on one chest layer.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Stage II - The cancer has spread beyond the chest to the area of the lung or diaphragm.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Stage III - Cancer has spread to other areas of the chest or has attacked the nearest lymph nodes. Some of the locations of the lymph nodes in humans are in the neck, underarms, and around the groin,</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Stage IV - Advanced stage cancer that has spread throughout the chest or other body areas, such as the brain and liver.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Mesothelioma Treatment</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are several steps of mesothelioma treatment that may be recommended by a doctor. The selected treatment plan will depend on the condition of the disease, the stage of the cancer, and the general health of the patient. However, considering mesothelioma is a cancer that can not be cured and generally new can be detected at an advanced stage, then the treatment step is more aimed at reducing the symptoms felt by the patient.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While there are several treatment options for pleural and abdominal mesothelioma, another case with pericardial and tunica vaginalis mesothelioma has not been treated because it is considered more rare. However, the cancer that is still at an early stage can be removed through surgery or the patient can still through other treatments to reduce the symptoms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some common mesothelioma treatment steps:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Chemotherapy</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chemotherapy is a drug used to shrink or inhibit cancer growth. This drug can spread to all parts of the body and can be used before surgery or after surgery. In the case of peritoneal mesothelioma, the drug can be heated and given directly into the abdominal cavity in order not to injure healthy tissue in other body parts. This allows the doses of chemotherapy drugs to be given in high doses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chemotherapy given before undergoing surgical procedures can facilitate surgery because cancer cells have been minimized before they are removed. Chemotherapy given after surgery will reduce the risk of cancer reappearing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Radiotherapy</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Radiotherapy may be performed after surgical procedures to eradicate leftover cancer cells or reduce symptoms of advanced cancer when surgery is not possible. In its application, this therapy uses high-energy jets, such as X-rays and proton light, which are focused on specific body areas.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Surgery</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surgery is done to remove the cancer that is generally still in the early stages of disease progression, although in some cases still can not successfully remove cancer cells completely. Surgery can also be done to reduce the symptoms of advanced cancer that has spread to other body parts in order to reduce symptoms suffered. Here are some commonly performed surgery options and their use for mesothelioma sufferers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Operating procedure to remove as much as possible cancer cells that can be removed from the patient's body. This procedure allows doctors to continue treatment with radiotherapy to reduce pain and prevent excessive fluid accumulation due to mesothelioma.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Operating procedures to reduce fluid buildup in the chest area that may interfere with breathing. The surgery is done by inserting a catheter tube into the chest to suck fluid. Doctors can also inject drugs to prevent recurrence of fluid buildup, also known as pleurodesis procedures.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Surgical removal of tissue around the abdominal cavity, ribs, or lungs that have been exposed to cancer cells to help reduce the symptoms and signs of mesothelioma.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Surgical removal of affected lung portions following adjacent tissues to relieve symptoms in pleural mesothelioma patients. This procedure is usually followed by high-dose radiotherapy.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Multimodality therapy</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">This therapy is a combination of three or more treatment steps, such as surgery, postoperative chemotherapy (adjuvant chemotherapy), and radiation therapy to enlarge the success rate of treatment.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Alternative medicine</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alternative treatment has not been clinically proven to treat mesothelioma, but some of these treatments have shown good development in mesothelioma patients. Here are related healing techniques.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Respiratory exercises to control breathing when the patient begins to feel breathless.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Relaxation exercises of the body, especially the respiratory muscles, can also make it easier for people to breathe lightly.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Sitting close to the fan facing the face can reduce the sensation of difficulty breathing felt by the sufferer.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
Acupuncture.</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Discuss alternative treatment steps that you choose with your doctor before you start using it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Complementary or other supplementary treatment may be recommended by a physician to reduce mesothelioma symptoms. Additional treatments, such as oxygen or certain medications, may help the patient breathe more comfortably considering mesothelioma can cause pressure in the chest that may interfere with breathing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Clinical trials</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some clinical trials are generally available and informed to cancer survivors, but the possibility of cure remains uncertain so it is important to consider carefully. Talk to your doctor about existing clinical trials and if appropriate for the condition of the patient. On the other hand, following a clinical trial will increase the chance for doctors to find treatment against mesothelioma.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some of the clinical trials that are being studied for mesothelioma conditions:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Biological therapy - using the patient's immune system to fight cancer, also called immunotherapy.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Gene therapy - alters the genes present in cancer cells to stop the disease.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Therapy uses drugs to attack abnormalities / abnormalities that occur in cancer cells.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Complications of Mesothelioma</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are the complications of pleural mesothelioma that have spread to the chest and caused structural stress on the infected area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Pain in the chest area.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Pain caused by pressure on the nerves and spinal cord.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Hard to breathe.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Hard to swallow</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The accumulation of fluid in the chest that suppresses the lungs and complicate the process of breathing</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Mesothelioma Prevention</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main precaution of mesothelioma is by reducing contact with everything related to asbestos, a major cause of the development of mesothelioma. People who work or are often exposed to asbestos are high-risk groups, such as miners, factory workers, manufacturers / makers of insulation devices, construction workers, and mechanics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are part of any of the above risk groups then you are required to comply with the safety rules set by the company. Sometimes it is better to leave asbestos in place than to attempt to remove it without the help of experts, although both of these are at risk of health hazards. Find out, learn, and follow instructions on safe asbestos handling in your neighborhood.</div>
