Role of Vitamin D is important for the Body
Health Care April 12th, 2010
VITAMIN D or vitamin that can be obtained from food or produced by human skin exposed to sunlight, play an important role in improving the body’s immune system.
The presence of vitamin D is very crucial for the body. Therefore, the weapon T cells of the body, the cells that attack and destroy bacteria and viruses that lodged in the body. Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have found that vitamin D was very important to activate the human immune system. Without vitamin D intake is sufficient, killer cells of the immune system (T cells) will not be able to react and fight serious infections in the body.
Well, that T cells can detect and kill foreign pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, the cells must be triggered first and then transformed from inactive cells and become dangerous killer cells are ready to find and destroy all the attackers.
The researchers found that T cells depend on vitamin D in the activation process. Thus, the body will be vulnerable if the deficiency of vitamin D in the blood. Researchers from the Department of International Health, Immunology and Microbiology Professor Carsten Geisler said, when dealing with T cells of foreign pathogens, these cells will be held device or antenna signal, known as the vitamin D receptor, which will search for vitamin D.
“This indicates the T cells must have a vitamin D or the activation of the cells will stop. If the T cells are unable to find enough vitamin D in the blood, they will not even begin to mobilize, “said Professor Carsten, as quoted reuters.com.
The results of these discoveries made scientists believe that providing much needed information on the immune system will help regulate the immune response.
This is important because not only fight the disease, but also in relation to the body’s immune antireaksi and organ transplant rejection. After an organ transplant, T cells can attack the donor organ as “foreign attackers”. In autoimmune diseases such as arthritis or Crohn’s disease, the fragments of T-cells (cells to attack foreign body) leads to the body to attack itself.
For the research team, identified the role of vitamin D in the activation of T cells has become a major breakthrough. Scientists have long known that vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium and vitamin has also been involved in diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis. But what was revealed is how the true role of vitamin D is essential to activate the human immune system.
Carsten further said, the findings could help overcome the illness and even disease outbreak. The study will also be very useful in developing a new vaccine, which works exactly as the basic formation of the human immune system. And responding well suppress the body’s natural defenses in critical situations (as in the case of organ transplants and autoimmune diseases). Benefits of vitamin D is also recognized by other researchers Chris Griffiths from Queen Mary. Chris said, vitamin D helps increase the body’s immune system’s ability to fight infection.
“We found that a single dose of vitamin D that is large enough to improve one’s immunity against the bacteria.”
Until now there has been no significant research on the optimal intake of vitamin D needed by the body in one day. However, experts recommend for men and healthy women aged 14-50 years, it is recommended to take vitamin D as much as 5 micrograms or 200 international units (IU) per day. Once the age of 51, the recommended intake increased to 10 micrograms or 400 IU per day. Furthermore, at the age of 71 increased to 15 micrograms (600 IU).
The problem, perhaps there is still much to trivialize the role of vitamin D is. Sometimes people only consider the intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates, but not much notice the little things like vitamins, particularly vitamin D. Macro nutrients are needed, but micro-nutrients are also very important in preventing disease, maintaining the immune system, ensure the body’s energy levels, and various roles of vitamins and other antioxidants.
Vitamin D include vitamin fat-soluble, and are required to maintain the body’s general health. But because these vitamins are fat soluble and stored in fat cells of the body, this vitamin can be toxic if consumed in excess amount. Vitamin D can be found in some foods, including milk, cod liver oil, salmon and mackerel, tuna and sardines, cereals fortified with vitamin D, eggs, and margarine.
Another way the easiest to get this vitamin is silent for a moment in the sun in the morning. Besides drinking milk, this is one of the easiest ways to ensure that you get vitamin D intake is sufficient.
Not necessarily every day if you’re busy. But every person is recommended to get exposure to sunlight for 15 minutes, 2-3 times per week. Make sure as many parts of the body exposed to sunlight. This is to enhance the absorption of vitamin D by the skin.
Sex Addiction Not Disease!
Disease April 12th, 2010
ADDICTION sex becomes part of deviant behavior that has many aspects, both in types and provocation. Recognizing the sex has become excessive ambition in life, avoid sex leads to aberrant behavior.
Tiger Woods affair with a teenage woman allegedly due to his addiction to sex. He is now undergoing rehabilitation of sex in some places.
Husband Swedish model Elin Nordegren was previously known sex rehab at The Meadows, Arizona, since December 2009, as reported okezone some time ago. Then he relocated to undergo rehabilitation at the center of sex addiction treatment Pine Grove / Gentle Pat in Hattiesburg, Missisipi.
So, what sex addiction really experienced international golfers is a disease? “Famous or not, people who have had a great sex addiction preoccupation with sex, despite the negative consequences they bring,” said Maureen Canning, a family therapist at the Meadows rehab center in Wickenburg, Arizona.
For many people, the definition of sex addiction is how the perpetrators to fill the emotional void that was filled with the activities of one-night stand, masturbation, and internet surfing in the world to enjoy sex. In essence, all activities that stimulate the brain domain center, providing euphoria, and sexual satisfaction.

The following reviews Women’s Health about sex addiction.
Prohibited sex addiction in contact with sexual stimulation
Sex addiction is treated like any other addiction. There is no “substance” involved, which explains why the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) does not recognize sex addiction as a disease. But a lot of rehab to treat sex addiction as a chemical dependency and behavior.
Patients follow the “12-step” ideology, which forbade them related to sexual stimuli (eg pornography) for 90 days, the amount of time normally required for the chemicals the brain to stop addiction.

One Tool Train All Muscles
Fitness April 12th, 2010
GYMSTICK including light equipment. However, its function is very common. In fact, claimed to replace all the heavy equipment at a fitness center. Interested?
Gymstick-sticks, made of fiberglass, and features rubber on the edges. This tool is the result of a combination of the two fitness equipment at once, the exercise stick and exercise bands.
Developed in Finland since 1997 by Gymstick International Inc. Viremestarit., Gymstick released to the market beginning in 2003. Petite shape. Consists of a long stick with a 130 cm, and a flexible latex rubber 75 cm long. Because of the small, clear easy to carry anywhere to do the exercise routine. Small form also makes this tool can be used anywhere. In the classroom, home, or workplace.
“With just one tool, we can get a variety of benefits. Namely improve cardiovascular (heart), endurance, and muscle strength, balance, improves posture, flexibility, muscle formation, to reduce fat (fat loss) up to 700 calories,” light Nancy Lim, Gymstick instructor at Life Spa Pondok Indah, South Jakarta.
Instructors who obtained a license from Power and Entertainment Projects Gymstick Challenge Finladia revealed, gymstick exercises done enough for three times a week, one hour per practice. Because designed for individuals and classes, such as training in other fitness centers, programs were conducted gymstick standing, sitting, and lying on the floor.
Training was tailored to the individual abilities of each (according to his fitness level). Organizations World Gymstick Team (WGT) which overshadow special gymstick personal trainer based on dividing the levels of resistance. This can be distinguished by the color of latex rubber that must be inserted into both legs. Namely green (light) with resistance 1? 10 kg for rehabilitation.
Then the blue (medium) with resistance 1? 15 kg for the rehabilitation and women and junior athletes. And black (strong) with resistance 1? 20 kg for junior athletes, women and men. The highest extra strong, divided into two, namely silver with resistance 1? 25 kg and 1 color golddengan resistance? 30 kg for men and professional athletes.
How to use a very simple one as your fitness activities using heavy equipment. The difference is only done with a tool like a stick. We live gymstick holding the receiver with both hands, and exercise bands tied to the feet. It would be better to use shoes as jagged as a drag exercises.
To add to the burden, we live gymstick turned the handle clockwise (forward), automatically be rolled rubber latex in the stem. The more coils, the heavier the burden. We can use these tools Like heavy equipment at the gym. Simple is not it?
Author of the study and professor of Clinical Exercise Science at Ithaca, Gary Sforzo PhD, expressing gymstick as a tool to combine resistance bands and weights simultaneously. When both are done in one motion, it will multiply the results obtained.
This study tested athletes who do Squat and chest press with resistance bands and combining weights. The exercise provides strength upper and lower body twice compared with those who practice it lift weights.
“When doing weights, resistance bands increase the burden. When lowered, the voltage generated is also increasing,” explained Gary Sforzo in an article published in the United States of Shape magazine.
Exercise Without Risk
The lack of knowledge of the use of heavy equipment in the gym or kebukaran center will increase the risk of injury. Moreover, without an instructor or personal trainer.
Different gymstick, this device safely used by anyone, even elderly ones. Exercise using gymstick divided into two. Gymstick power aerobic movements combined with a more agile and faster. While the challenge is more gymstick used for muscle formation. His movements were also more in place.
Gymstick challenge performed in a trio format, the three movements in one song. The pattern is a movement carried out for 30 seconds, rest 10 seconds, the second movement (same time), rest 10 seconds, the third movement (same time). Then rest for 20 seconds to switch tracks (in the second song) by the same method.
“The challenge is gymstick trio of 10 movements (10 songs) in 50 minutes. For the one-time exercise for an hour to do 10 to 15 movements. However, it all depends on the ability of fitness participants, only 10 movements which may have given up a lot,” said Nancy Lim, gymstick instructors who have studios in Malaysia and the new 3-month stay in Jakarta.
This class focused challenge to the formation of muscle either specifically or overall. Gymstick challenge always begins with a relaxed focus on stretching the muscle groups around the neck, shoulders, and pelvic area (pelvic).
Gymstick power while focusing on balance training that leads to increased muscle strength and peripheral heart action (PHA). His movements include the upper body, torso, and lower body that focuses on coordination, balance, and overall body control.
Among other such parts of the lower back, upper back, abdominal (stomach), chest, shoulders, and arms. Since the method uses only picked up the stick either by hand or foot, the risk of exercise is also very thin. If not load anything, we stayed turned the handle (stick) in a clockwise direction or the next body. Or adjust the color of the rope exercise his band.
However, we are not allowed to roll four times the length of the string because it would damage the contour of exercise band. Gymstick was also suitable for rehabilitation centers such as physiotherapy.
In fact, for mothers who have thighs, big hips, and arms menggelambir, could do with the method gymstick activities very easily. If you get bored with the choreographer from the instructors, we had to load mengkreasi own. Certainly the knowledge of the instructors to get more leverage.
