Massage Stimulates the Immune System

Research shows that massage produces measurable changes in the immune system. Massage session relaxes the body, relieve anxiety, and even help you sleep better at night.

A recent study funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, found that massage can also help to the extent of the disease.

In the study published in the latest issue of the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine is the empirically recruited 53 healthy adults aged 18-45 years and is divided into two groups. The first group received the traditional Swedish massage session by a certified massage therapist and a second group received a session of soft touch, no actual massage techniques.

Each participant received intravenous therapy (IV), which is inserted in the arm for the duration of the massage and a couple of hours later, then blood is drawn from various intervals to measure levels of hormones and the immune system.

Researchers have been working under the theory that massage increases oxytocin in the body, or the "hormone of love", which in itself helps regulate levels of hormones associated with stress. However, they found that this did not happen. Because the person who receives the "light touch" (second group) actually experienced an increase of oxytocin was greater than getting a massage (first group). However, unlike the light touch, massage recipients experienced a significant reduction in stress hormones and increasing production of various cells of the body that enhance the immune response.

Benefits of Massage

Massage can help boost your immune system and help you cope with stress, even if they get sick or stress.

"I am very interested in our results," said Mark Hyman Rapaport, MD, professor and chairman of the department of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

"I've always wondered what massage functions for many people report feeling better after doing it? We found that biological changes occur as a result of even a massage, and that this change is also beneficial for healthy individuals. "

Massage routine for body and mind. Here's a tip for a massage health benefits:

Find a certified therapist

Recipients of massage in this study received treatment from a certified therapist to ensure consistency and high quality. To get the same, should license massage therapist.

own hand massage

Yet the body is massaged to produce biological changes as seen in this study, other studies have found that a simple hand massage for five minutes was also able to reduce stress levels.

Feel the love in other ways

Dr. Rapaport notes that there are significant increases in levels of oxytocin receptor full body massage, but people in the group receiving a gentle massage.

There are many simple ways that can increase levels of oxytocin in the body, but not a massage, such as holding hands, caressing the animal, and listen to relaxing music.

Air pollution can Stimulating Emphysema

Recent research showed that people who live near roads and air pollution are often exposed to greater risk of health problems suffered emphysema and others.

Air pollution from motor vehicles in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta and is at the stage of worrying. In fact, the so-called air quality in Jakarta is currently ranked third worst in the world, after Mexico and Bangkok.

Low levels of air pollution in Jakarta, causing many social problems of their residents. The main problem, of course, a health problem.

According to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), 46% of the disease in Jakarta are caused by air pollution, where the diseases are generally respiratory infections, asthma and lung cancer.

In addition to these diseases, pollution is also potentially lead to physiological changes in humans, as the weakening of the function of lungs and affect blood pressure. A new study reinforces that fact.

Air pollution is shown to aggravate symptoms in people with lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a group of lung diseases that severely damaged the disease, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

However, if long-term exposure to air pollution affects the likelihood that someone has COPD? So far, the answer remains uncertain.

In the latter study, the researchers found evidence that among nearly 53,000 people of Danish adults followed for 35 years is estimated that exposure to polluted air route, the risk of developing COPD was higher than those with little exposure.

The findings appear in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, that shows the relationship between air pollution on the road and the risk of COPD.

The researchers, however, does not prove causation in this matter. Smoking is the main cause of COPD, estimated to be behind more than 95% of cases. Other environmental factors such as heavy exposure to coal dust, grain or wood, can also cause COPD.

The new findings raise the possibility that long-term exposure to air pollution on the road contributes to the risk of COPD in some people, especially vulnerable to certain health conditions such as asthma.

"If that happens, a person's risk for COPD due to exposure to contamination will be very small compared to smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke," said study leader Zorana J Andersen, Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen, Denmark, according to Reuters Health.

However, he said, the population level, even small risks associated with air pollution from vehicle exhaust "can not be ignored," given the millions of people living in urban areas levels high pollution.

These findings are based on 52,799 adults aged 50 to 64 who filled out a questionnaire containing questions about health and lifestyle, including smoking history, in the mid 1990's.

Andersen's team used data from participants in the Danish hospital patients who enroll in treating COPD first attacked between 1971 and 2006. Also, estimating individual long-term exposure to the highway pollutants home of his residence during the study period.

In total, more than 3% of study participants had been admitted to the hospital for the first time for the treatment of COPD in the study.

When the researchers analyzed the long-term average exposure to nitrogen dioxide participants

"Pollutants caused by automobile exhaust, the researchers found that exposure levels above 25% more likely to be hospitalized because of COPD than those with less than 25%.

The relationship between pollution and the risk of COPD road appear stronger among people with asthma or diabetes than those who were in good health. This, according to Andersen's team, the likelihood that people in poor health who experienced systemic inflammation in the body are more susceptible to the effects of road pollution on lung function.

But researchers also cautioned that, in terms of statistics, the conclusion that the relationship is still weak or is still "within." They are also reminded to be careful in interpreting the strength of the causal relationship has been reported in this study and possible duplication of these results with other studies.

Another limitation of this research, including the fact that exposure to contamination of the participants provided on the basis of their residential address. But when a person is actually exposed to contamination may be from various sources, is unknown.

However, Andersen said that one should be aware that heavy exposure to highway pollution has long been associated with numerous health risks, including the development of asthma and deaths from heart disease and stroke.

The American Heart Association showed that people with heart disease risk and others, including parents and those with risk factors for heart disease such as diabetes and high blood pressure, immediately reduce your exposure to smoke from vehicles pollution on the road.

At a broader level, Andersen said, the relationship between air pollution and risks to human health is very important to support government policies that are used as pollution control in a country.

Rice including the most delicious source of carbohydrates than sweet potatoes, maize or cassava. So do not be surprised if the Indonesian people are very dependent on rice. But actually eat less rice more benefits.

If the government's plan to make the program "A Day Without Rice 'or' One Day, No Rice's' reap the pros and cons, health practitioners would see many benefits for people's health.

But it acknowledged not easy to change the mindset of people from Indonesia that has hundreds of years is highly dependent on rice. To the extent that there is the term 'do not eat if you do not eat rice'.

"I strongly support if there is such a policy. What we need is actually not a rice but not carbohydrates. Well, actually there is a good carbohydrate in cassava, yams, bananas, corn, potatoes, brown rice, green beans or wheat bread. Carbohydrates from here even greater benefits than rice, "explained Dr. L. Toruan Phaidon, MM, doctor of nutrition and healthy living expert from Jakarta Anti-aging & Executive Fitness Consultant, when contacted detikHealth, Wednesday (13/10/2010).

What are the benefits to eat less rice?

Dr Phaidon explains one of the benefits of changing eating habits is to prevent the rice from type 2 diabetes (diabetes due to lifestyle).

Just so you know rice has a high sugar content which increases the level of glucose in the blood that can trigger the risk of developing diabetes. And for people with diabetes must manage their plasma glucose, one of them to eat less rice with no recurrence for the disease.

White rice including simple carbohydrates that contain high sugar levels, when ingested, will directly into energy quickly and increase blood sugar levels. But the simple carbohydrates can not store glycogen reserves.

Instead of the carbohydrates, such as cassava, maize, cassava, oatmeal, wheat bread, brown rice is a complex carbohydrate low sugar content and full longer hold up to 6 hours.

These complex carbohydrates can be stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen (a substance prior to glucose). If the body lacks energy, glycogen reserves is to be broken down into glucose for energy.

Complex carbohydrates contain less sugar but more high-fiber, so it gives more benefits, both for women, men and children.

According to Dr Phaidon, the benefits of low-sugar complex carbohydrates better than rice among other things:

For women

• Make the skin smooth, beautiful and luminous
• Free toxin
• Ageless
• Remove wrinkles on the face

For men

• Enhance arousal and libido
• Increase energy, stamina and strength men
• Fitter and more vibrant

Children

• Improving intelligence
• Improve strength
• Not easily tired and sick

"If the government calls like that, it means that the Indonesian government would be beautiful, smooth skin, strong and smart," added Dr Phaidon, who is also the author of 'Fat Loss Not Weight Loss'.

Dr Phaidon also revealed that Indonesian people should learn to change the presumption 'is not eat if you do not eat rice'.

"Many Indonesian people would rather be in comfort zone, good food rather than healthy and quality food. So to be able to change that assumption, there must first desire, "explained Dr Phaidon.

To be able to change these assumptions, Dr. Phaidon insisted there must be desire. The desire must also be backed with confidence, thus the brain will react and find ways to make changes.

"The process of change it is not convenient, it takes about 25-30 days for adjustment. The adjustment is intended not about the body's response, but more on taste. If the body would react very well when the rice is replaced with other carbs that higher quality, "explained Dr Phaidon further.

So please select a still eat rice as well but lack a lot of benefits or starting slowly switching to sweet potatoes, maize, cassava, oatmeal, wheat bread, brown rice which are less palatable but more health benefits.

Biologics New hope for Patients With RA

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Indonesia is still relatively low, but this disease should be careful. Because AR plays an important role in the cause of disability and reduced quality of life of patients. However, existing drugs, the patient's activity will remain intact.

In fact, the main ARyang treatment is to achieve remission during and as soon as possible before the occurrence of structural damage to joints. When this condition is successful, the various symptoms of the disease was not seen again. You can also slow the progression of the disease.

There are two types of medication for patients with RA, ie only treat the symptoms only, and may slow the disease process. The latter is a drug that is in a class of DMARDs (rheumatoid arthritis drugs disease-modifying). With high levels of adherence, these drugs are effective in 60% of patients in RSCM.

Along with understanding the disease, have introduced new biological drugs for patients who can not be solved with conventional medications. In RA produced a variety of cytokines and cell surface which in turn plays a role in stimulating inflammation and joint damage. Biological agents are made by molecular biology to produce cytokines and antisel surface.

biological agent shown to stop the journey AR disease, prevent disability and disability. A sitokinyang have been identified as IL-6 (IL six). A new drug that could inhibit these adalahTocilizumab cytokines.

Several studies have shown, a single therapy or in combination with another DMARD is reduced significantly due to RA. Prof. Dr. Harry Isbagjo SPPD-KR said, biological agents used in case of failure with conventional treatment with DMARDs.

DMARD was able to show significant results in patients, but not all patients can be cured with these drugs. The rest still need the IL-6.

"But for patients who are able, could have appealed directly to the IL-6, without a conventional DMARD. Biologic agents work faster within 2-4 weeks has been free of symptoms, while the DMARD to wait three months new symptoms disappear, "said Harry.

Biological agents can be combined with one of the DMARD. However, only one DMARD drug because of side effects are quite large. Therefore, the IL-6 inhibitor is a novel biologic in the treatment of RA that meet unmet medical needs in the treatment of RA.

ACTEMRA is Roche's production pending in the United States, Europe and Indonesia. However, in Japan, this drug has been launched as a therapy for arthritis.

According to Inge S Kusuma, Head Pharma, Roche Indonesia in the near future will be Tocilizumab efficacy study in 40 patients in Indonesia.

Back pain can be an indication AR

AR is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic joint inflammation. Autoimmune disease is a condition where the immune system to recognize and even an attack normal body tissue.

In AR, there is inflammation in other organs. However, AR is actually different from rheumatic diseases. However, this inflammatory arthritis due to hitherto unknown cause.

"Great expectations due to genetic factors as well as infections and environmental factors that stimulate the immune system to attack normal body tissue," said Professor Harry Isbagjo SpPDKR on educating the media event to commemorate World Arthritis day at Hotel Borobudur (11/10).

Not only the parents who pay attention to this disease. In fact, AR attacks all ages, but increased at a young age to middle age. Age most people with this disease is between 5-60 tahun.Wanita require some more careful because they are at risk of 3-4 times. This is due to hormonal influences, but not quite.

In addition to swelling and redness, symptoms of this disease is pain in many joints. Most joints are attacked or left-right symmetric. Suppose the left shoulder and right or used parts.

Another distinctive feature is the presence of bumps (rheumatoid nodules), and a feeling of fatigue. In Indonesia the disease attacking any ethnic differences in incidence, ie between 0.3 to 5%. Meanwhile, 100,000 people from 20-300 people per year affected by AR.

So, one could say that about 360,000 patients with AR in Indonesia. Compare this with the prevalence of gout or arthritis suffering. Although the prevalence of AR patients have a low, but the disease is highly progressive.

Costs to be faced with patients with AR was very heavy. Approximately 70% of patients included AR attacked every day joint pain, stiff joints and a reduced quality of life, which is 88-98% sufferer AR prolonged fatigue and pain due to systemic diseases (Anema, depression).

What is worse, the disease can lead to disability, and disability disablitas. Joint damage is already happening in the first six months of this disease. Defects 2-3 years, if not treated.

Unfortunately, Harry said, many of the patients already in a state of disability so difficult to cure. It says a professor of Rheumatology Division, Faculty of Medicine / RSCM that, in addition to the burden that must be faced, there are a number of other challenges that the AR patients.

At the risk of cardiovascular disease 2X and 70% had a stroke, 70% of patients an infection, the risk of osteoporosis is higher, until the risk of lymphatic cancer to 25x fold.

"So, the patient could not because rematiknya are deceased, but because of the heart," said Dr. Bambang Setiyohadi SpPD KR.

There is no medicine that can menyembuhkanpenyakittersebut. So far the doctors working throughout the world. However, patients can be conditioned not need drugs long term.

This is to achieve remission by reducing pain, reducing inflammation or an inflammation, to stop damage to joints, improve joint function and the patient comfortable. Bambang also be presented to people with AR early and aggressive therapy.

But beware, the therapy can not repair the damage that has occurred or cure the disease. However, early treatment rendered to the success of the therapy to be determined. While aggressive treatment can improve joint function, prevent disability and disability.

"The treatment is more successful when there is cooperation between doctors, patients and relatives," said Bambang.

There are two types of pharmacological treatment of AR and nonfarmakologik. Pharmacological agents such as inflammation and pain relievers or medicines, travel modifiers. These drugs are symptomatic or simply reduce the symptoms. Such as preventing damage to the joints, but with a big side effect.

For example, damage to the stomach or vomiting blood. But since rheumatoid arthritis disease-modifying drugs (DMARD) of conventional, these effects may be resolved. The nonfarmakologik is a joint protection therapy, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, until the operation involves.

With a big ass is not only sexy impression. A recent study shows fat in the buttocks and thighs can increase life expectancy of the owner.

Based on studies of a number of health experts from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who accumulate fat in the buttocks and thigh instead reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Unlike abdominal fat that increases the risk of these three diseases.

The research team led by Dr. Michael Jensen in which 28 men and women as participants. During the eight weeks, giving them the treatment and the same diet to all participants. They want to grow in the body fat of the participants to see.

The majority of participants have about 2.45 kg of fat in the upper body, including stomach and chest. While on the lower body like the buttocks, hips and thighs approximately 1.5 kg. This measurement is performed before and after the "quarantine".

The research has shown there are differences in fat cells around the upper and lower body. Fat cells in the body section includes a natural anti-inflammatory agent that can stop blocking the arteries.

As quoted by the Daily Mail, Jensen said the findings challenged to find ways to produce fat in the abdomen without increasing fat deposits in the upper body is found. "It is important to protect the body and help prevent the disease."

The findings are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences would be to explain the benefits of having a pear-shaped body.

Not only benefit the vitality and stamina, regular vitamin intake can prevent certain diseases to maintain. One of them heart disease.

Vitamins are essential nutrients without the calories and necessary for human metabolism. Vitamins can not be produced by the human body, but food is obtained from daily activities. The specific function of vitamin is a cofactor (helper component) for enzymatic reactions.

Vitamins also play a role in various other body functions, including regeneration of the skin, eyes, nervous, immune and blood clotting. The body has a different amount for each vitamin. Every person has different vitamin requirements.

Recent research shows that eating regular multivitamin may help women without heart disease to heart attacks. However, the effectiveness of vitamin pills does not appear to be influential in women who had suffered from heart disease. The study was conducted by Dr. Susanne Rautiainen and colleagues at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.

These findings do not answer the question of whether vitamin useful as prevention of disease. "It is important to remember that multivitamin users tend to be healthier in general. They usually will reduce smoking, more physically active and have a healthy diet," says Rautiainen.

"Even if we are audited by a number of factors associated with healthy behaviors, we can not exclude that our healthy lifestyle through multivitamins pengonsumsian measure," he said as quoted by Reuters. Known, about half of American adults reported that a multivitamin regularly.

Rautiainen and colleagues mention in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in industrialized countries, widespread use of multivitamins. While the conventional wisdom in these countries is that taking vitamins can help prevent heart disease. The researchers found that in fact there is little evidence to support this claim.

Determining the relationship between the use of vitamins and cardiovascular disease in women, Rautiainen's team 31 671 women without a history of heart disease and 2262 women who have heart disease for 10 years. The women were aged 49 to 83 years in the early days of the investigation, and about 60 percent in each group using different species of the same food.

During the observed period, 932 heart attacks occurred in the group of women with no history of cardiovascular disease, while 269 women with heart disease also had a heart attack. Among the women who initially did not have heart disease and do not include food, 3.4 percent of them had a heart attack, compared with 2.6 percent of women who have multivitamins plus other supplements.

This translates into the risk of a heart attack about 27 percent lower for women vitamins. Meanwhile, in women with heart disease, 13 percent of those not using the vitamins had a heart attack, compared with 14 percent of the women who took multivitamins. This result is not significantly different (means could be due to chance).

For women without cardiovascular disease at baseline, taking a multivitamin is less than five years may reduce risk of heart attack by 18 percent compared with non-users of supplements. While users of vitamins for 10 years or more will reduce the risk by 41 percent.

Previously, other studies produced similar findings that the consumption of vitamins to prevent cardiovascular disease. Heart health, as you often hear, depending on the decrease in bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). But now, the recommendations are not that simple.

Recent findings indicate that cholesterol is part of a double action. And vitamin tablets, according to the findings of this study can be used as a new treatment for heart disease. The researchers found that a twin brother known as LDL lipoprotein has (a) the risk of cardiovascular disease may increase. Having LDL and Lp (a) would double the risk and the risk of clogged arteries.
