Toothbrush 3 times a day

Toothbrush 3 times a day

One of the common problems of Filipinos is tooth decay. Go to any barangay or school, most children have broken or rotten teeth. When this happens, the first thing a parent will think about is having a tooth extracted. How is the child's future?

The real culprits are the parents. They do not teach their child to brush. It has been proven that if you always have bad teeth, your life will be reduced by 3 years.

How to brush properly?
The proper use of a toothbrush is to tilt the tooth at an angle of 45 degrees. Just brush gently. Use an upward brushing action, from between the gums and teeth.

All you have to do is go up and down. Each tooth should be brushed 10 times per brush. This way, dirt that clogs the teeth can be removed.

Put the teeth below first, before the top. Brush left, middle and right. Also reach to the back of the teeth. Brush the tongue as well. Do not hurry. Brush for about 3 minutes.

Extra dental advice
1. If you can't brush after eating, just rinse well in the bathroom.

 2. Also use dental floss (the thread that is inserted between the teeth) daily. Floss at least once a day.

 3. Buy Tongue Cleaner. It has been proven to reduce bad breath and bacteria in the mouth.

 4. Do not eat hard objects and your teeth may break. Slowly bite pork, beef, watermelon seeds and more.

 5. Avoid eating sugary foods such as candy and chocolates. It damages the teeth. Rinse or drink water after eating it.

 6. Do not let the baby sleep with a bottle of milk in the mouth. Give him water to drink so he won't break his teeth.

 7. Do not drink colorful beverages such as soft drinks, iced tea and hot teas. Also avoid smoking. They make our teeth yellow.

 8. Consult your dentist every six months.

So I beg the parents there. Let's teach our child to brush every day. Preventing infections, preventing bad breath and preventing costs as well. Pity them when they grow up. Maybe no one will like them anymore.

Headache: Do I need to be checked by a doctor?

Headache: Do I need to be checked by a doctor?

The headache is what patients often complain to their doctor. Others fear that this might be the cause. But do not worry, most headaches are not dangerous.

First, if the headache is accompanied by reading the newspaper or working in front of the computer, your eyes are more likely to have depression. Make a mirror and see an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

Second, if you go outside into a cold and hot place, you may also have a headache. This is not bad. The nerves in our head just change because of the changing weather.

Third, if the headache is relieved by Misis massage, it is probably just stress or tension. Because the muscles of our head tighten when stressed. It means you have a lot of thinking, a lot of problems and lack of budget, so it really hurts.

The ones I mentioned that cause headaches, from eye to eye, weather changes and stress can be checked without a doctor. Paracetamol is milder in the stomach.

When should I consult a doctor? If the headache is severe, if there is a fever, vomiting or weakness, consult a doctor. Also take blood pressure. When high above 140/90, high blood pressure is also a possible cause of headaches.

The diseases the doctor monitors are stroke and brain tumors. Its symptoms are weakness or numbness of the body.

Migraine is also a common cause of headaches. You will know that it is a migraine because only half of the head hurts. Mefenamic acid or aspirin is also the cure for migraine.

Now that you know the causes of headaches, you can make the right decision if you need to check with a doctor. Good luck!

Difficulty Sleeping

Difficulty Sleeping

Sleep is a normal process of the body. You can teach yourself to sleep soundly. Here are some tips for sleeping:

1. Have regular bedtime. Sleep at the same time every night. For example, every 9 pm you lie down to train your body.

Tips For Pregnant And Unpregnant Women

Tips For Pregnant And Unpregnant Women

For Pregnant Women:
1. Pregnant women need 4 components in the body: calcium, iron, folic acid and protein. So drink 4 glasses of milk (low-fat milk) every day. Eat eggs, meat and liver to get protein. Also eat green vegetables high in folic acid such as spinach, petsay, horseradish and sweet potato talbos.

2. Avoid sugary foods and you may develop diabetes.

3. Maintain the right weight. Excessive fat is bad and thin is also a lack of nutrients.

4. No smoking or drinking alcohol. If you do not stop, your baby may become abnormal. Stop tasting wine.

5. Reduce stress and problems. Many pregnant women feel sad when they give birth. This is called post-partum depression. It takes the care and support of a man for a woman to overcome it.

6. Do not take the medicine lightly as it may harm the child. Ask first and check up with your OB doctor. Multivitamins are the only safe drink.

7. For women, it is best for you to get pregnant before the age of 35. When you are over 35, the chances of your child developing Down’s syndrome (mongoloid) and other diseases increase. Take care.

For Men Who Can't Get Pregnant:
I have some tips to keep the sperm count and sperm count of men.

1. Do not heat your scrotum (egg or testicles). The testicles of the man are hidden in the testicles. When it is heated, the semen can die.

2. When you are a jeepney driver, put a thick mattress on your seat. Be careful with the heat of the machine and your semen may cook.

3. Also avoid long-term cycling. You can also become infertile because your testicles are always pinched.

4. Do not wear tight briefs. To always be fresh, just wear boxer shorts.

5. Eat cheese. Cheese contains the zinc that semen needs. It also strengthens the sex drive.

6. Wait three or more days before having sex. Because the body must first produce a lot of semen so that you have a good chance of getting pregnant. Good luck po.

Warning: "Light At Night" May Be Harmful To Your Health

Let us look at medical problems that have been linked to light at night:

1. Increase in prostate cancer. A research conducted by Professor Haim and Professor Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut studied the incidence of three types of cancer (specifically prostate, lung and colon cancer) in men in 164 countries. Data on cancer incidence were gathered from the records of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. On the other hand, light at night (LAN) data were collected from satellite images from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program. For the study analysis, the countries were divided into 3 categories: countries with high LAN exposure, countries with medium exposure, and countries with low LAN exposure. The results show that countries with high LAN exposure had the highest incidence of prostate cancer at 157 prostate cancer cases per 100,000 people. In comparison, countries with the lowest LAN exposure had only 67 prostate cancer cases per 100,000 people (50% less). Although this study is by no means definitive, it shows a curious link between light at night exposure and prostate cancer. This study supports the theory that suppression of melatonin increases cancer risk.

2. Increase in breast cancer. Several epidemiologic studies done in Denmark and the U.S. have shown an increase in the incidence of breast cancer among female night-shift workers. This correlation between LAN and breast cancer was tested in the laboratory in 2005, which showed that exposure to artificial light at night enhanced the growth of breast tumors.

3. Increase in obesity. Aside from getting cancer, a US-Israel study showed that exposure to bright lights at night may cause obesity. In laboratory studies, Ohio State neuroscientist Dr. Randy Nelson and Professor Haim showed that mice exposed to 24 hours of constant daylight gained more weight when compare to mice exposed to only 16 hours of daylight. After 8 weeks, the mice exposed to constant light had 50% weight gain compared to the other group. Dr. Nelson observes, “Something about light at night was making the mice in our study want to eat at the wrong times to properly metabolize their food.” The researchers also believe that disruption in one’s body clock and lack of sleep can make people eat more often and at the wrong times. Dr. Nelson adds, “Light at night is an environmental factor that may be contributing to the obesity epidemic in ways that people don’t expect.”

Here are some tips to get your body clock working perfectly. This can translate to more energy and better health.
1. Sleep at around the same time every night and wake up at the same hour. This technique will keep your body clock in harmony.

2. Limit your light exposure at night. It’s not scientifically proven yet but you can try to avoid very bright lights at night, especially within 3 hours of bedtime.

3. Limit computer time at night, maybe less than half an hour. When you sit in front of the strong glare of the computer screen, this could suppress your body’s melatonin production.

4. Although exposure from watching TV is only minimal, make sure you sit several feet away from your TV set.

5. In your bedroom, draw up the window curtains to limit glare from the streets.

6. Use yellow or red light instead of white light at night. According to George Brainard, a professor of neurology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, temporarily turning on a bright white light at night during your bathroom visit may disrupt the production of melatonin.

7. Melatonin supplements may be useful in certain cases. According to Professor Brainard, "Night shift workers might consider taking a supplement right before they go to sleep in the morning. Those who travel internationally can try it to reset their body's clock and avoid jet lag." Consult your doctor about this.

8. Be exposed to sunshine during the day. Early morning sunshine is best and it activates the body’s natural rhythm.

9. During the day, get exposed to indirect sunlight. Avoid staying in a dark room all day. The purpose of this “light at day” and “dark at night” routine is to make sure your body knows when it is day (time to work) and when it is night (time to sleep).

Lastly, what about people who sleep with the lights on, kids who play computer games at night, and people who gamble all night? Are these harmful habits or not?

We’re not sure. There is still no clear data on how much light at night is harmful. For the present time, I suggest we watch out for this probable health hazard: bright lights at night.

Food for Asthma

Food for Asthma

Inflammation is the most common cause of asthma symptoms. That is why foods that fight inflammation are the natural remedy for colds or sputum. Getting a lot of nutrients from food is associated with lowering the risk of asthma.

1. Onion - Eating onion regularly can help with asthma attacks. Because onion contains the anti-oxidant quercetin, which fights inflammation.

2. Coffee - 1 or 2 cups of strong coffee, helps slightly because it is like theophylline, a drug that relaxes the airways.

3. Green Tea - Like apples and onions, green tea contains quercetin and other flavonoids. Try to drink 1 or 2 cups per day.

4. Fatty fish such as herring, tuna, sardines, anchovies, salmon and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids to fight inflammation in your body, including the airways.

5. Apples and strawberries - Eating enough apples can help prevent asthma attacks. Like onions, apples are rich in quercetin, but be sure to eat the skin, as this is where quercetin comes from. Strawberries are also rich in flavonoids.

6. Foods rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Selenium. Red bell pepper, orange or calamansi juice, cabbage and tomatoes are good all day long.

4 Effective Health Tips

4 Effective Health Tips

1. Eat less food.
Numerous studies have shown that reducing calorie consumption prolongs life. According to dietary theory, eating less food (20% less) can reduce the amount of inflammation in the blood vessels and can reduce the amount of toxins in the body. Even in biblical times, fasting and abstinence from certain foods were encouraged.

2. Try the Mediterranean Diet.
The Mediterranean diet consists of vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts and olive oil. Fish and poultry are also eaten in moderation. Studies show that people who consume the Mediterranean diet can prevent heart disease and Alzheimers Disease. In fact, some experts consider it to be the most nutritious diet.

3. Choose healthy fats.
There are 2 types of fats: nutritious and unhealthy fats. Unhealthy fats (saturated fats and trans-fatty acids) cause heart disease. Saturated fats are found in butter, creams, and lard and beef fat. Trans fats are found in margarines and cooking oils and processed foods such as biscuits. Look at the label and try to reduce its intake. On the other hand, healthy fats are found in peanuts, avocados and fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel and tilapia. If you are a consumer, choose low-fat milk and low fat fillings. Remove visible fats before cooking.

4. Maintain dental hygiene.
Having gum disease is associated with heart disease and can in fact shorten life. It is believed that inflammation of the gums is also associated with inflammation of the arteries or veins in the heart. Oral infections can lead to dangerous infections of the heart valve. Brush your teeth 3 times a day. Use a tongue cleaner to remove bacteria on the tongue. And also floss every day.

Body Swelling: Find Out If It Is Bad Or Not

Body Swelling: Find Out If It Is Bad Or Not

Do you have a lump in your body? Is it normal or bad?

Non-Dangerous “Tumors”:
1. “Belly bones” - You may be mistaken for normal bones in the body. A common case is the xiphoid process, which is the cartillage attached to the lower part of the rib. It is located in the upper abdomen. It is protruding but it is normal.

2. "Throat in the Throat" - For men, Adam's apple (throat area) is easy to feel because it is bigger than the man.

3. Lipoma or fat - Another common but harmless lump is lipoma. It is a movable, fatty and round flesh that can grow on different parts of the body. Lipoma is not cancer and does not need to be removed by surgery. Check with a surgeon to make sure.

Note:
Any lump should be examined by a surgeon. A lump in the neck may be a sign of a mouth infection, tuberculosis or other illness. If you feel any lump in the abdomen or other part of the body, see your doctor to be sure. Again, do not worry about it first because maybe it is benign.

Lastly, do not forget the regular check-up. Check-ups start at age 40. But if your family has a history of heart disease, diabetes or cancer, you can still have a check-up for at least 40 years. Stay fit and healthy.

Hoarseness: Is it bad?

Are you hoarse? Is it just natural? Or it may be a sign of a serious illness

Find out what the source of hoarseness is.

Answer:
Hoarseness or hoarseness is common among teachers, singers and broadcasters. If you speak too loudly, you may be straining your vocal cords and vocal cords. Rest for a day or two of the voice and it will heal.

But if your hoarseness is more than 2 weeks, you need to see a specialist Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor (ENT). In rare cases, hoarseness can be caused by cancer of the larynx, which is first on the minds of ENT doctors.

In fact, hoarseness can also be caused by serious diseases such as aortic aneurysm, enlarged heart, and lung tumor. This is because the left laryngeal nerve (which controls the vocal cord) originates in the chest and rotates under the aorta (most artery). When the laryngeal nerve is pinched as the heart grows or if there is a tumor, the person becomes hoarse.

Therefore, problems with the chest and heart can be pinched by the left laryngeal nerve which causes hoarseness.

There is nothing wrong with watching your emotions to avoid and anticipate any simple illness so that it does not lead to chronic pain.

Mole: Is It Dangerous?

What does a typical mole look like?
We all have a mole, but a sudden presence or change in appearance may be a sign of a cancer.

To determine if a mole may be dangerous or not, doctors use the following guide.

1. The place and boundaries of the place.

2. The mole should be circular and even. If it is irregular and pointed, it can be a sign of skin cancer.

3. The color of the mole should be equal, as in all black or all brown. If the mole has mixed colors, it should be checked for cancer.

4. The diameter or size of the mole should be less than the diameter of a pencil eraser, which is 6 millimeters.

5. And if the mole expands in size, it is best to see a dermatologist.

Do not worry. These are just warnings and uncertain. But we must also be careful because skin cancer like melanoma spreads quickly.

Consult your doctor first.

Warning: Lose weight even without dieting

Warning: Lose weight even without dieting

It is okay to lose weight if you are on a diet. But if you lose weight without dieting, be careful.

There are many reasons to lose weight. If you have problems at work or family, you can lose weight.

The other two conditions that can cause weight loss are diabetes and hyperthyroid. If a person is unable to control diabetes, excess sugar is not absorbed by the body and excreted in the urine.

Hyperthyroidism causes rapid metabolism, thus causing weight loss. Both conditions can be treated.

However, if a person loses 10 pounds without dieting, this is an important sign. Even if the person does not complain of any disease, the patient should be screened for possible cancer or other diseases.

Many cancers are asymptomatic. For example, cancers of the stomach, colon, liver and lungs usually show no signs. In addition, cancer can affect children and the elderly, but it is more common in older people.

Therefore, if you lose weight, see your doctor and have a lab test. Do not worry. If you follow a healthy lifestyle these tests will probably just be normal.

Blurred Vision: Is It Serious?

The causes of eye problems vary. Can be simple blur. But it can also be a symptom of stressful illness.

Everyone can have eye problems. The vision may blur. Usually, this is only because the lens of the eye changes. Its treatment may be the use of glasses.

But blurred vision, along with eye pain can be a sign of glaucoma, a serious condition in which pressure rises within the eye. If you experience a dark vision in an area where you cannot see certain things, you should see an eye doctor.

There are other serious eye diseases such as retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and even stroke or brain tumor.

Vision disorders can be caused by brain problems. Visual acuity is controlled not only by the structures of the eyeball (cornea, lens, retina and optic nerve) but also by the areas of the brain where the eye centers of the brain are located (at the back of the head).

So from the eye to the brain, can cause vision problems. That is why it is best to consult an eye specialist first.

Painful Fingering of the Finger

Trigger finger calls for pain when the finger you try to straighten out, swallows and often hurts. In some cases, the finger remains and the other hand is required to straighten your finger.

Usually, when flexing the finger, there is a long tendon that pulls the finger together and helps it slide smoothly through a protective sheath around it.

The finger may become swollen due to repeated use such as typing, texting and laundry. With swelling of the protective sheaths, the tendon cannot slide properly, which is why it will swallow.

During repeated puncture, the tendon may also become inflamed causing a nodule (such as a scar). As a result, the finger will ache and swallow.

Who are those affected:
1. Usually, people between 40 and 60 years old.

2. Repeated use of hands. People who often handle things like this for work are more prone to trigger finger. Excessive typing, texting, or exercise of heavy dumbbells can cause this. Players of long-time musical instruments are also at risk.

3. Diabetes and arthritis can worsen the trigger finger.

The diagnosis of trigger finger is simple. Your doctor will examine your hand and see the lock. The doctor feels if the nodule is painful (as if it is swollen) at the base of the affected finger, which is a sign of finger trigger.

The condition is usually worse in the morning, and usually affects the thumb, middle finger or fingertip.

Rest your hand and do not crack too much. You can put a finger splint on it so it won't bend. See an Orthopedic surgeon for other treatments.
