Healthy Life is Priceless

Being healthy are everyone's dream. But most people have some problems about their eating habits. Eating habits for healthy foods are considered to be difficulties of some people. The way of life that some people do are the most important thing, whether we want to be healthy or not.

You must devide the term of "what you need" and "what you want". Think about it everyday in your life. No pain no gain, that's the fact. When your are sick or suffering from any diseases, you must have felt a lot of pain (from medicine) before you heal.

Here are several tips to gain a healty life :

• Many people believe, drinking while eating can interfere with digestion and trigger obesity. The fact is not always the case, because eating is interspersed with drinking. Water can actually help you lose weight.
• Avoid drinking tea after meal, because it can make a protein that is contained in the food becomes difficult to digest. Substances that are difficult to digest could reach 80%.
• If you are the kind of a pessimistic person, you must change that attitude. Harvard scientists found that people whose attitude is optimistic and satisfied with their life will have a healthier heart.
• You should reduce the hours of sleep, because the researchers found that one cause of dementia, especially in old age was due mostly to sleep.
• Vegetables that contain the lowest amount of choline such as spinach, carrots, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, radishes, lettuce and cabbage can eliminate body odor. High levels of choline which triggers the body produces a chemical compound that causes the trimethylamine someone has severe body odor like the smell fishy.
• As the summer with high temperatures usually easy endurance will drop. Keep the intake of drinking water but avoid very cold drinks because when the weather is too hot can cause stomach cramps when the body temperature is high.
• If you forget what to do or want to take something, try to give time for the brain to rest for 20 minutes. 20 minutes is enough for the brain to refresh, so they can think more clearly and recall.

Let us not waste our health to look for treasure and then squandered our treasure to seek health.

Living with The Deadly Disease of Diabetes

People with diabetes are rarely to live long, because of experiencing complications of other diseases. But a diabetic patient can survive well up to the age of 90 years. What is the secret of longevity ?

Bob Krause from San Diego, a grandfather who almost entered the age of 90 years was crowned the oldest in diabetic patients with the longest life in America. He has 85 years of living with the deadly disease of diabetes. Long live the old man's secret was that he remained a regular insulin therapy without getting bored or discouraged and so keep the food.

The old man's knowledge about Diabetes made no other diseases affected by complications that usually experienced by people with diabetes. The temptation of food or live carelessly can be withheld by applying the discipline of a good life. For Grandpa Krause, eating is for life not for pleasure or just lust.

Bob Krause was type 1 diabetes since the age of 5 years. Diabetes Type 1 diabetes is a disease due to heredity or pancreas damage. Now he was already nearly stepped on 90 years, meaning that Krause had 85 years of living with diabetes.

"Krause has lived longer than the life expectancy of healthy people who were born normal in 1921. He knew that he had to deal with this disease and that he sees as part of his life, he does not let diabetes him to despair," Dr. Patricia Wu, doctors who deal with Bob Krause.

About 3 million Americans living with type 1 diabetes, a chronic disease in which the body does not make enough insulin needed to convert blood sugar into energy, so it must rely to a lifetime of insulin injections. The exact cause is unknown, although genetic and autoimmune problems play a role.

In general, the life expectancy of diabetics is reduced a lot because they have to face a high risk of serious health complications, including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney damage and amputations. Before the discovery of insulin, a diagnosis of diabetes was a death sentence with an expected survival of only a few years.

Krause was lucky to be diagnosed with diabetes not long after the commercial production of insulin made it widely available. It was 1926, and he was 5 years old. Krause's younger brother Jackie also died because of diabetes.His life could not be saved after being diagnosed with diabetes since insulin at that time not yet available. He was diagnosed with diabetes 1 year earlier than Krause.

"I watched Jackie die by starving to death," Krause said. "Before insulin, diabetics would just die because eating doesn't make any difference. Anything that you ate couldn't be converted and you literally starved to death because your body couldn't absorb anything."

When Krause began taking insulin, he had to boil glass syringes with long needles, sharpening the point when it would go blunt with wear. Krause remembers how his mother, having lost one child to diabetes, weighed every piece of food Krause ate and kept him on a strict diet. By the time he was 6, he was giving himself injections in the arms or legs at every meal.

Since 1978, Krause has relied on his insulin pump to administer his dosages into his stomach, though he enters the amount of the dose himself rather than relying on automated doses of insulin that pumps can give throughout the day.

"I was surprised when they told me I was the oldest, because I knew there were others out there. I certainly didn't think I was a loner," Krause said after being presented the medal from The Joslin Diabetes Center.

Eyes are The Windows of Soul

One of the five senses God has given to us. Unfortunately not all of us can see perfectly. Blind, vision problems like cataracts, nearsightedness, eye minus and so on. Sometimes if one of the senses we have not which function as it should, then all four of our senses will react with more leverage to work beyond the five senses possessed by normal people. It will also trigger the emergence of a sixth sense without us knowing it. Way to bring the sixth sense can also be learned by a person with normal senses, such as a magician.

If we have five senses are normal, so keep & take care. Here are tips to keep our eyes :

1. If you work or activity using the screen on a PC or laptop. The eyes will get tired if we keep staring at the screen. To fix this, rest your eyes by looking the other direction. With frequent flashes also to avoid your eyes become dry. Adjust the monitor tilt so easily adapted to the position of the eye. Keep the distance between the eyes with a screen about 25-30 cm. Adjust the height of the monitor screen is also slightly below the eye. I recommend you to use the LCD instead of CRT monitors due to the radiation produced is lower. You can also use the screen protector to reduce radiation.
2. Avoid dust and pollution. Use goggles to protect your eyes from dust and pollution. If you are driving on a motorcycle, wear a helmet mirror. Because dust and pollution can cause eye infection that can cause cataracts.
3. Change your bad habits when reading a book. Reading with less lighting and read while sleeping is one of them. Reading habits like these make the eyes work harder and can result in minus eye. Reading books preferably with adequate lighting and keep reading distance between 25-30 cm. If too close, can result in nearsightedness in the long run.

Hope these tips can help keeping our eyes. Live a healthy life with a good habit.
