“Drinking water just let the fat orange destroyed,” perhaps you have heard these suggestions to reduce the guilt after eating good food, but full of fat. In fact, destroyer of the natural fat is best green tea.

Phaidon Toruan, in his book Fat Loss Not Weight-Loss, there are two benefits of green tea consumption, as a fat burner that is optimal and rich in antioxidants.

Green tea will help increase fat burning, in the sense of helping improve the metabolism of triglycerides (eg thick fat under the skin) to be turned into fatty acids.”But remember, the fat beneath the skin can only be burned when the form is converted into fatty acids. The process of combustion is to sports,” said Phaidon.

In order to function as a green tea fat burner is more optimal, Phaidon suggested that drinking green tea before exercise. Antioxidant capacity of green tea is very strong so that it can provide protection against the effects of muscle cell walls. In addition, continued Phaidon, if taken before eating a meal, green tea will help keep fat intake.

Thousands of studies have revealed that green tea is healthy and natural beverages rich in antioxidant content. Usefulness was so diverse, ranging from cardiovascular health maintenance to reduce the risk of cancer.

Based on the findings of experts in Egypt, green tea has also proved a positive influence for antibiotics. The researchers concluded from the University of Alexandria, green tea can increase the efficacy of antibiotics in killing bacteria resistant to 3-fold, even though super germs.

Green tea is one of the favorite drinks for the people of Egypt. Even unmitigated, they often drink it with drugs such as antibiotics. Researchers are interested to see whether green tea may reduce, increase, or did not affect the performance of antibiotics.

Surprising result, according to study results presented at the meeting of the Society for General Microbiology in Edinburgh, Scotland, the end of March 2008, green tea can enhance the ability of antibiotics against resistant bacteria, even though super germs.

In any particular case, green tea proven to increase the activity of antibiotics to kill bacteria. For example, the effect of killing bacteria chloramphenicol 99.99 percent better than green tea as compared with no use it.

Kaseem and colleagues also found green tea are able to make 20 percent of bacteria resistant to antibiotics are susceptible to sefalosporin, similar antibiotic is important to overcome the strains of bacteria that had become resistant or immune.

Researchers added, almost in every case and all types of antibiotics they tested, giving antibiotics with green tea increased the antibiotics work, and reduce drug resitensi in bacteria. And for certain cases, green tea with a low concentration is still effective even.

“In the future we will seek and investigate other natural materials such as majoram and thyme. It is necessary to test whether they also have an active substance that helps fight against bacteria resistant to drugs,” he said.

If a baby can be born naturally, why should fault? Apparently, the baby is born are at risk of more faults variety of health problems than babies born to normal. What are the distractions that?

1. Respiratory

TTNB (Transient Tachypnea of the New Born) is a respiratory disorder that most often occurs in infants feared fault. This interference is due to fluid filled fetal lungs in the womb during uncompressed fault considering baby live “thank so”. In fact, a vaginal delivery through the birth canal is what allows the fluid that filled the lungs during the fetus in the womb is pumped up out.

In addition, the compression process also occurs because of maternal uterine contractions on a regular basis. Contractions gradually stronger it will push the baby’s body, so the automatic fluid in his lungs come out. Well, the baby’s fault, the second compression process did not happen perfectly.

2. The low immune system

Evidance based data base was not there. But in the normal birth process, infants move from an almost sterile womb to the outside through a long process and involves a contraction for hours. Even at birth, the baby’s mouth is not closed so many germs that enter the mouth, even to the digestion. Receive the effects, the baby is in contact with the microbes floral experience in the birth mother who then colonize the gut. This is very influential in the development and maturation of the immune system.

3. Vulnerable allergies

Both of the conditions of “dirty” in the birth canal that does not pass the baby born in a fault, or delays in breastfeeding as soon as possible, making the risk of allergies in infants higher. Not to mention the exposure to antibiotics which are usually given to infants as a step fault in case of possible infection, also increase the risk of allergies.

4. Emotions tend to be fragile

Although not proven through scientific research, the psychological condition of the baby allegedly faults tend to be more fragile than babies born normally. In fact, babies born to normal was exposed to uncomfortable conditions in which he must pass through the birth canal is narrow and winding with great pressure due to uterine contractions. This struggle is believed to be mentally train your child early on. Perhaps these factors contribute separately to the personality of the child later.

However, given the pattern of parental care and how the environment influences come prove more color if a person is more resilient or not when faced with life stress.

5. Influenced anesthesia

This condition may occur. Therefore, a team consisting of doctors of obstetrics and gynecology physician, a pediatrician, and anesthesiologist must calculate carefully as possible so that anesthesia in infants minimum effect. For that, in general anesthesia spinal anesthesia used is a low dose. The use of general anesthesia to make the baby looked a little sleepy because it was issued while still under the influence of anesthesia.

6. Minimal chance of IMD

Babies fault not get a chance to live the IMD early breastfeeding initiation alias. This is due to fault the baby’s condition is different from the normal birth conditions that could directly attached to its mother’s breast with a reflex powerful enough to reach the breast. While in labor fault, it can not be made considering the baby is usually directly attached to an IV and oxygen tube to help breathing. The mother, were generally still in a state of “high” due to the influence of anesthetic drugs.

No one denies that diet in determining health. Habits and eating patterns of various countries could be attractive options to try. Not just to be healthy, but also a culinary taste of another country.

Asia
One of the diet of Asians are quite beneficial to health is not put meat as the main menu. Most people use a more Asian vegetables with a little meat as a garnish. Replacement of meat protein source can be obtained from fish and beans, especially soybeans. Rice as the main carbohydrate source also makes people not so fat Asian.

South America
Although the people of Latin America consume more meat than the United States, but rates of heart disease suffered by people tend to be low. The secret, they eat beef, farmed conventionally, ie, left free to eat grass in the field. Thus, the resulting meat has lower fat levels than cows that were locked up and the feed so.

Mediterranean
Instead of choosing saturated fats, the Mediterranean replace it with healthy fats from olive oil. Besides used for cooking, most people consume too direct Mediterranean olive oil. Another secret is to eat healthy grapes for dessert.

Africa
Add more nuts in your plate. In many African countries, nuts are often the main dish plus their tomatoes or a delicious salad. The result, in addition to not have a problem with weight, the international statistical Africans have the lowest levels in cancer incidence.

In an airplane with a baby’s need a special preparation, but still can be done. Before flying, know what needs to be addressed.

- Infancy

Basically every three-month-old baby to be able to travel on an airplane. When babies younger than six weeks is usually the doctor will ask you to postpone the trip because at this age babies are still vulnerable to the bacteria that may be circulating in a closed cabin.

- Condition of the baby’s ear

Changes in air pressure due to sudden changes in altitude can cause pressure in the middle ear and cause pain. To reduce pain, feed or give a bottle or pacifier to the baby during take off and landing aircraft.

If your baby is suffering from ear or respiratory infections, travel by plane will cause discomfort. Before leaving, talk to your doctor about appropriate medications to treat your child’s ear infections.

- Breathing

Some studies say that shortness of breath are more common in environments with low oxygen levels, such as the aircraft cabin. Although this condition will not endanger the health of babies, but there’s nothing wrong if you equip your baby with oxygen reserves.

- The seat baby

If the baby is big enough or can sit alone, should reserve one extra seat for her. It is advisable to assume the baby on the plane. We recommend that you use a car seat or a seat special security for infants and small children. Note the flight crew’s instructions, such as when to wear a seat belt, for child safety.

If the flight takes a long time, bring toys, books or snacks for baby sitting quietly in a pew. If possible, you should take the baby for a walk in the cabin aisle to ward off boredom and circulation.

According to the rules of the national airline, airplane passengers may bring medical drugs, food, beverage or infant formula with a maximum capacity of one liter of fluid and sealed. Mothers who flew with the baby also allowed to bring liquids, ie milk, formula milk, or juice in the amount of not more than 90 milliliters.
