Types of Cancer The Most Deadly and Difficult Healed

You know cancer? This disease is one of the world's number one killer. There are over 100 different types of cancer and a variety of causes, ranging from radiation, chemicals, until the virus. But from various causes, there is one thing that is always the same. Cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth. Cancer are the most deadly and difficult to cure what?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cancer is the number two cause of death in the United States after heart disease. Even when it was diagnosed early and dealt with cutting-edge treatments, the cancer still has the power to kill.

Indeed there have been many successful treatments today and not find some twenty years ago. But the treatment of cancer still remains elusive due to many factors.

Cancer cell growth remains unpredictable and still mysterious in some cases. In fact, after going through an apparently effective treatment, cancer cells are able to hide in some patients and reappears.

Approximately U.S. $ 200 billion (approximately USD 1800 billion) was spent in cancer research since the early 1970's. Survival for all cancer patients in the U.S. also has increased from about 50% in the 1970s to reach 65% at this time.

"We will not be able to achieve progress it is today if the health sciences are not funded. The basis of science teaches us about the mechanisms and effectiveness of drugs. We take that information and apply it to the clinic to find out whether the new ways it's successful in treating cancer, "said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society as reported myhealthnewsdaily.com, Thursday (01/26/2012).

Here are 10 types of cancer that claimed the lives of most of the year 2003 to 2007 according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI):

1. Lung cancer and bronchial
Lung cancer and bronchial cancer is the number one killer in the United States. Smoking and using tobacco products is the main cause. This cancer is most common in people aged 55-65 years.

There are two main types of cancer: cancer of the lung cells of the most common, and small lung cell cancer spreads faster. More than 157,000 people are estimated to die from lung cancer and bronchial in 2010.

2. Colon and rectum cancer
Colon cancer tissue grows in the colon, whereas rectal cancer grows in a few inches in the large intestine near the anus. Most cases start with a small blob of cells or the benign polyps and from time to time to grow into cancer.

Inspection is highly recommended to find polyps before they turn into cancer. Colorectal cancer is estimated to kill more than 51,000 people in 2010.

3. Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the second most popular in the United States after skin cancer. This cancer can also strike men. There are nearly 2,000 cases of breast cancer in men between 2003 and 2008.

Cancer cells usually form in the ducts that drain milk to the nipple or the glands that produce milk. Nearly 40,000 people are estimated to die from breast cancer in 2010.

4. Pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer appears in the pancreatic tissue that help digestion and regulate metabolism. Early detection and treatment are often difficult because secretly and quickly spread. Pancreatic cancer claimed an estimated 37,000 lives in 2010.

5. Prostate Cancer
This cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men after a second lung cancer and bronchial. Prostate cancer usually starts to grow slowly in the prostate gland, the gland that produces seminal fluid to transport sperm.

Some types of cancer is still confined to the prostate gland, and is more easily treated. But other types are more aggressive and spread more rapidly. Prostate cancer is estimated to kill about 32,000 people in 2010.

6. Leukemia
There are many types of leukemia or blood cancer, and all of them attacking the body's blood-forming tissue such as bone marrow and lymphatic system. Blood cancer resulting in the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells.

Types of leukemia are classified by how fast the cells spread and anything that is affected. This type of acute myelogenous leukemia is the most ferocious and killed 41,714 people in 2003 to 2007. Nearly 22,000 people are expected to die from leukemia in 2010.

7. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
This cancer attacks the lymphocytes, a type of white blood cells and is characterized by swollen lymph glands, fever and lost weight.

There are several types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and categorized based on the growth rate and type of lymphocytes affected. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more deadly than Hodgkin's lymphoma and is thought to have killed more than 20,000 people in 2010.

8. Liver cancer and intrahepatic bile ducts
Liver cancer is one of the most common form of cancer worldwide, but rare in the United States.

This cancer is closely related to intrahepatic bile duct cancer that attacks the ducts that carry bile from the liver into the small intestine. Nearly 19,000 Americans are estimated to die from Kaner liver and intrahepatic bile ducts in 2010.

9. Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women of four numbers between 2003 and 2007. The average age of women diagnosed with this cancer is 63 years old. This cancer is more easily treated but more difficult to detect at an early stage.

Symptoms include abdominal discomfort, urgency to urinate and pelvic pain. Nearly 14,000 women estimated to die from ovarian cancer in 2010.

10. Esophageal cancer
This cancer begins in cells lining the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach, and usually occurs at the bottom of the esophagus.

Men are more likely to die than women due to esophageal cancer between 2003 and 2007. This cancer is estimated to kill 14,500 people in 2010.

Tips for Not Infected Flu

Who does not know the Flu? I'm sure almost everyone has experienced it. Many cases of flu that did not have to suffer just because of negligent or may not know how to prevent it. This should be prevented.

Do not joke about the flu. Especially for the elderly, the flu is generally more severe than if they happen to younger people. In addition because their immune system begins to decline due to old age, type of flu virus that enters the body is not necessarily the same.

There are three families of influenza virus types (types A, B, and C). Each type has so many members of his own family.
Temperament family members of each type of flu virus is also not the same degree of ferocity. Some are benign, others malignant extraordinary. Flu is common to attack the European population, for example, unlike in Indonesia, generally classified as a malignant type of flu virus, and often very deadly. Flu outbreak early twentieth century in Spain, swallowing hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Therefore, not all viruses, including influenza virus, no cure antinya, the ultimate key to preventing the flu virus is still there are only two ways, namely by enhancing the immune system and reduce the chances of the body invaded by a virus.

Below are some tips on how to flu threat in the rainy season is not until fall on us. What do I need done?

1. Use a flu vaccine.
For the elderly are encouraged to get flu shots during flu season to come. However, not all types of viruses can be resisted with the flu vaccine.

From time to time flu vaccine enhanced with the content of other types of vaccines by the type of flu virus that was causing the outbreak. However, in addition to different types of virus, not a rare occurrence emerging viral strains that escape the containment effort, so the various types and strains of flu viruses that exist. Not to mention the possibility of changing the nature of virus (mutations), so it becomes no longer a potent vaccine went.

2. Stay away from cold exposure.
Western people dub catch cold or flu as exposure to cold. Indeed, the longer and often the body which is too cold exposure (air, water bath, cooled space, drinks cold, wind), the weaker the resilience of the body, and increasingly vulnerable to easily attacked by a virus (anything).

We know, virus germs can only be countered by relying on endurance. If the resistance decreases, the body's defense will be breached, and flu or other viral diseases potentially going to infect. Only when the body's defenses are strong, the virus that has entered the body will be eliminated and people falling off the flu.

That's because for the body only be boarded by any flu virus, antibiotic drug, the most powerful ones, become redundant because the virus can not be suppressed by antibiotics and the generation of any kind. In addition futile to spend money on an unnecessary, the body already burdened by side effects antibiotikanya.

True influenza cases do not need to be given antibiotics. In Indonesia, the flu is generally considered a disease lightly. People still do the daily activities at work, school, and other outdoor activities.

Flu that had been inhabited only by the virus alone, due to the body in a state already weakened by a virus attack, other germs will easily come mendompleng enters the body, and new diseases emerge. That way, the flu in Indonesia are generally often prolonged, and can even be complicated.

Not infrequently the flu develop into another ENT infection (infection of the throat, esophagus, nose, or congekan), besides the possibility of riders who are infected by germs entering the lungs as well (bronchopneumonia, pneumonia).

It is also the reason why those who have the flu should stay home. In addition to potentially harm yourself, in a state outside the home flu will spread the virus into the air around the patient, especially if you are in the room (which is not designed well-ventilated enclosed) refrigerated.

3. Strengthen the body.
With rest and nutritious food is high during the rainy season, the body is strengthened resilience. In addition to warm the body (warm drinks, warm baths, ointments jerky), select the menu is also highly nutritious, particularly high berpotein (eggs, milk, meat), not enough vegetables mere menu (vegetable nodes).

Westerners are used to serve hot chicken soup for the body exposed in the cold. Avoid shower of rain, a gust of wind, was in the open air. Make us able to choose beverages body warmers (wedang ginger, bandrek, bajigur, or sekoteng), especially after a rain shower body, cold swim, beach tourism.

4. Avoid going to crowded places.
As the rainy season, and many people are sick with the flu, you should not go to crowded places if you do not need one. If you can wait should not visit the traditional markets, supermarkets, malls, movie theaters, terminals, stations, health center waiting rooms, hospitals, schools, party rooms. In crowded places, flu viruses, including other types of viruses, scattered in the air flying, and nasal air we breathe.

5. Reduce smoking and alcohol.
Both types of these substances has the potential to reduce endurance. Smoking "hurt" the mucous membranes of the airways, making the airways more prone to enter the virus. The room is smoky, weakening the condition of the airways of people who breathe it too (passive smoker).

6. Diligent wash hands with soap.
Our hands and fingers can be the source of the attached virus removal from the environment where we do activities, such as offices, schools, and toilets in public places. Studies of this have been done during the SARS outbreak first.

Our hands would touch the bathroom door handles, car doors, elevator buttons, the receiver, sheets or pieces of money, the surface of tables, chairs, and all who touched many people. From there the virus that has been contaminating everything you touch (by people with the flu) can move into our fingers.

People with flu should know better than to go around sneezing and coughing on the tendency of many people, other than duly diligent hand washing as well (because it would have held the nostril and mouth bervirus).

Another person close to the flu patient, speak, and threatened contamination of virus, need more frequent hand washing, and not just hold your nose (nose, clean nostril), or mouth. Get used to using a handkerchief or tissue, to clean the nostril or mouth. Through the second hole that's going cold virus enters the body, including the bird flu virus (avian influenzae).

7. Cleaning nostril every home traveling.
Yes, for travel outside the home, especially during an outbreak of flu season, there is almost no air is not contaminated flu virus, especially in environments that are flu patients. Almost certainly the air we breathe for outside the home, there is her flu virus. Included in the house when someone was sick with the flu.

Any case, much better if cleaned immediately with soap nostril, every time she came to travel, as he repeatedly with a vengeance to-breathe air blew his nose during cleaning. That way at least horde viruses that may already be there mengendon bounced out of the nostril before it nesting, and breeding.

8. Rinse his mouth and not lack of sleep.
The flu virus enters the body through the nostril and oral cavity. In addition to the nasal passages must be maintained clean, your mouth will need a solid defense. For more frequently it's good rinsing.

In addition to selecting steeping betel leaf (no power antisepsisnya), can also use a mouthwash that bought from the pharmacist. In this way we seek to get rid of germs that may have started to settle in the oral cavity, including where the incoming influenza virus.

In addition to gargling, brushing of teeth, especially before going to bed at night. Oral cavity is dirty also weaken resistance. Especially in those who already do not have tonsils (glands tonsilnya been removed), so the guards do not have the oral cavity from the threat of germs. Including those with his teeth are rotten, infected, and root rot his teeth. They are more vulnerable to infection oral cavity.

9. Do it as if breathing.
Yes, the durability of the body also needs more oxygen and more full. If breathing effort, namely by way of a sigh (in the open air) how deeply we can afford, and how long we can hold, will be more membugarkan lungs. The lungs are fit, the more rapid blood flow, and increased local immune system, will be more empowered to be able to get rid of germs.

To refine the result of a breath, accompanied also with adequate exercise and do physical exercises like walking. Physical stress factors, in addition to mental stress, also increase a person's body vulnerable to the flu virus. Excessive fatigue (due to work or physical exercise) is not recommended during flu season.

10. Enough sleep and not stay up.
The challenge now people are often tempted by the lure of so many television spectacle, entertainment, and activities together outside the home at the time interval.

One of the many threats that diseases happen because people now often lack the time lag. Already tired of the bustle during the day, often less time sleeping at night. Instead of nap time (like the first), nighttime sleep is often inadequate.

Conditions less lag, lack of sleep, and sleep soundly not (because of stress, too tired), which adds to the body vulnerable to attack viruses in general, flu viruses in particular.

When you begin to feel the body began to ache, dizzy head, the eyes feel hot, started sneezing and coughing is small, the possibility of early symptoms of flu. That's when the direct taking any brand of cold medicine, and sleep after eating soup or hot drinks. Usually the way it came off the flu.

However, the drug store did not put a halt to power trip when the flu was already heavy. Useless to continue to consume flu drugs only when the flu was more than a week, and the symptoms worse. Mucus which was originally clear viscous liquid has changed color, it means the flu has been ridden by other germs. This is the time for cold medicines need to be accompanied by antibiotics.

In an age of more and more entertainment midnight, try to not always follow your heart, even after the heart of the heart. Those who were suffering from chronic diseases (diabetes, kidney failure, heart disease, cancer) of "weaker" than normal people.

1. Bit

Bulbs that this one has a very sweet taste than other vegetables. The dark red fruit contains a lot of sugar in layers of rough skin. Why bit healthy? Like spinach, beets rich in folate and betaine. Two types of these nutrients can reduce levels of homocysteine ​​in your blood vessels.

Homocysteine ​​is a compound in the blood that can damage arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. The content of natural pigments - called betacyanins - in bits is a natural cancer prevention.

2. Cabbage / cabbage

Who does not know this vegetable. One cup of chopped cabbage contains 22 calories and a number of other important nutrients. Call it sulforaphane, a chemical that can increase the production of enzymes in the body that inhibit the cell damage caused by free radicals and reduce the risk of cancer. The experts at Stanford University stated, sulforaphane can increase the production of an enzyme inhibitor of cancer is more effective than other chemical compounds contained in vegetables.

3. Guava

Guava or Guava is a tropical fruit that has a complicated structure of acid. The sweet taste of this fruit will taste when you bite the middle. Guava rich in lycopene, a type of antioxidant that can cope with prostate cancer. A cup of Guava juice contains 688 milligrams of potassium, or 63 percent more than that found in bananas. Guava is also known as high-fiber foods. There are about 9 grams of fiber in a glass of Guava.

4. Swiss chard

A half cup of cooked Swiss chard contains 10 mg each of lutein and zeaxanthin. According to Harvard scientists, these two compounds - also known as carotenoids - may protect the retina from damage due to aging. Two of these nutrients, which is actually a pigment, will accumulate in the retina, which used to absorb various types of short-wave rays that could potentially damage the eye. Therefore, the more lutein and zeaxanthin are consumed, the better protection of your eyes.

5. Cinnamon

Cinnamon can help you control your blood pressure, which would affect the risk of heart disease. In fact, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states, people with type 2 diabetes who consumed 1 gram of cinnamon daily for six weeks (about 1 / 4 teaspoon daily) significantly decreased blood sugar levels, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. Cinnamon contains methylhydroxychalcone polymers, which can increase the body's cells ability to metabolize sugar by up to 20 times.

6. Purslane

Purslane or purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is one of the weeds that grow in plantations chili. Weeds are known as nutritious crops in several countries such as China, Mexico and Greece. In Indonesia purslane is also known to have utility as a refresher, a tonic on the state of fatigue or a substitute for ginseng

According to experts at the University of Texas at San Antonio, purslane contained in omega-3 is very good for heart health. The scientists also reported, purslane contain melatonin - a type of antioxidants can prevent cancer growth - 10 to 20 times more than any other fruit or vegetable.

7. Pomegranate juice

For years known as the pomegranate juice drink, especially popular in the Middle East region. Israeli scientists reveal that men who drank 2 ounces (about 60 ml) of pomegranate juice every day for a year decreased systolic pressure by 21 percent. These habits also improve the blood circulation system. Get used to drink 4 ounces of pomegranate juice because it can meet 50 percent of vitamin C your body eraser day.

8. Gojiberri or wolfberry fruit

Because it tastes sweet, herbal red lights since long been used as a nutritious ingredient that can be added to the dishes of boiled meat, chicken or seafood.

Wolfberry fruits contain beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B1 and B2, beta-sitosterol (an anti-inflammatory), linoneat acid, and other useful materials. Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, wolfberry efficacious strengthen blood circulation, strengthen the kidneys and liver and provide moisture to the lungs. Wolfberry is often used to treat diseases "consumptive" marked by a sense of thirst (as in diabetes and tuberculosis), mengarasi dizziness, blurred vision, lack of clear vision and chronic cough.

9 Fruit Plums

This fruit contains neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acid, a type of antioxidant that is effective against "superoxide anion radical." Types of free radicals can cause damage to cells, especially that caused cancer.

10. Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds may be the most bernutirisi part in the flask. By eating pumpkin seeds, your body needs magnesium to be fulfilled. This is important because French scientists recently found men with high levels of magnesium in their blood have a tendency to 40 percent lower risk of early death, than men with low levels of magnesium. Men should consume an average of 353 mg of this mineral every day, while the USDA recommends at least 420 mg.

Female Hormones turmoil by Age

Hormones have a tremendous effect on the libido. Scintillating sex life is something we all want to have, regardless of age. When intercourse is less satisfying, will affect the physical and mental health.

The relationship between libido and female hormones are always fluctuating. So it's important to figure out how to control the hormonal balance.

How to balance female hormones at different ages?

Here's how to balance the female hormones on the basis of age, as quoted from MSNHealth, Monday (1/23/2012), among others:

1. Age over 20 years

"At the age above 20 years, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are at the highest level. So in this age range is ideal for planning a baby," says Laura Berman, PhD.

Women who are in this age range is usually less know well about their sexual needs. Although women at this age are less familiar with sexual needs, but has a high sex drive.

When it is difficult to control sexual urges, then it can conduct activities that may distract. Activity is one of them is exercise.

2. Age over 30 years

"A woman in their 30s may be at the peak of sexual emotional. Women in this age range clearly knowing their sexual needs, even though estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone began to fluctuate. The key, is still thinking as a woman, sexy attractive, regardless of fluctuations in hormone , "said Dr.. Berman.

After giving birth, testosterone levels will go down very low, and in nursing mothers, the hormone prolactin can suppress ovulation, as well as the production of estrogen and progesterone. Regardless of age, masturbation using certain equipment, in turn, will improve circulation and help balance hormones.

3. Age over 40 years

Women in the age range over 40 years, usually already on the decline of sex hormones. Some experts argue that women's sex drive can actually increase sexual hormones.

Women with decreased fertility if thinking more about sex, or having sexual fantasies more frequent and intense, and sexually active will have a sexual hormone levels are higher.

4. Age above 50 years

"The years of the middle, between 50-65 years is the peak of adult life. National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior found that 71 percent of the 50 people surveyed said the recent experience of sexual orgasm they generate.

Because testosterone and estrogen has decreased drastically, then decreased sex drive after menopause. Nevertheless, it can be done many efforts to help get a satisfying sexual relationship.

Doctors often prescribe very small doses of testosterone along with menopausal hormonal therapy, or MHT. Many women try MHT, which is also referred to as hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

The procedure involves taking estrogen and progestin to relieve vaginal dryness and hot flashes and decrease bone loss.

Opportunity Living Up to 100 Years Could Viewed from DNA tests

Secrets of longevity is still the obsession of the investigators. Life reaches the age of 100 years is considered as an extraordinary achievement. In his effort, the researchers managed to find a way to predict whether someone will reach the age of 100 years or not.

Researchers were able to predict those who reach the age of 100 years with a DNA test or study the genetic signs. Prediction accuracy by DNA testing to achieve 77 percent accuracy.

"The figure of 77 percent is a very high accuracy for a genetic model. But 23% also showed an error rate is still much to be discovered," said the researcher, Paola Sebastiani from Boston University in Massachusetts as reported by FoxNews on Monday (1/23/2012).

This study could also show who is more susceptible to certain diseases and can guide appropriate therapy for patients.

The accuracy of the test increases with age. That is, the older the person undergoing the test, the results of the calculation to see how long until the age will be more reliable. Because people who reach 100 years of age generally do not have a disease associated with old age until reaching the mid 90s.

Scientists hope to isolate this genetic trait may help find new treatments to tackle diseases such as dementia and heart failure.

"Further study of these genetic characteristics may produce a better understanding of the genetic and biological mechanisms associated with aging and disease survival is longer," said co-researcher, Dr.Thomas Perls.

For the moment, research that began in 1995 is focused on Caucasians. But the researchers also plan to extend it to other groups, like the Japanese, who have a large number of elderly.

Previous research in the United States has found that about 85% of people who live to reach age 100 years were women and 15% were male.

"Men tend to be more susceptible to age-related diseases" says Perls.

The findings, published in the journal PLoS ONE this for a while shows that genetics plays a greater role in determining longevity, more than previously estimated.

For the study, researchers analyzed the genes of 1055 Caucasian man who was born in 1890 to 1910 and compares with 1267 people who were born later.

But researchers also saw a healthy aging was still influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise habits.

DNA or Nucleic Acid Deoxyribo a nucleic acid that stores all information about genetics. DNA is what determines the type of hair, skin color and specific qualities of the man.

The method used in DNA testing is to identify fragments of DNA itself. Or is simply the method to identify, collect and inventory the files of characters typical of the body.

Inside the cell nucleus, the DNA strands to form a unity called chromosomes. Each normal human cell has 46 chromosomes consisting of 22 pairs of somatic chromosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY).

6 Terrible Effects of Sugar

Sugar is always present in various foods and beverages daily. But too much sugar can increase the risk of a number of diseases that affect health. Eating lots of sugar turned out to be an effect that is quite horrible.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the average adult in the United States consume 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day, while teenagers consume 34 teaspoons a day.

Here are 6 horrific effects of sugar as quoted from Fitbie, Sunday (1/22/2012), among others:

1. Increase the risk of diabetes

Consuming sugary drinks, such as soft drinks, fruit drinks and sports drinks may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. The results of new studies involving more than 310,000 patients stated people who drink 1-2 servings a day of sweet foods had an increased risk of type 2 diabetes by 26 percent.

Consuming sugary drinks tend to cause weight gain, which is a risk factor for diabetes.

2. High-glycemic diet can cause acne

According to a study published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, food intake can affect the skin.

High-glycemic foods, such as refined carbohydrates, sugary drinks, and even certain fruits can cause a big spike in blood sugar when eaten.

While the low-glycemic foods, such as whole grains will be broken down into sugar more slowly. So that these foods do not cause blood sugar spikes. The researchers found that those low-glycemic diet experienced a 50 percent reduction in acne.

While the high-glycemic diet experienced a 14 percent increase. The researchers speculate that insulin resistance, commonly associated with eating high-glycemic diet may cause inflammation and production of oil causes acne.

3. Increases the risk of heart disease

Eating excessive amounts of fat are not the only one that increases the risk of heart disease. Sugar also plays a direct role in health. A study found people who consumed more than 17.5 percent of calories from sugar about 20-30 percent more likely to have high triglyceride levels.

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in blood. When you consume more sugar than required, then the excess sugar in the form of triglycerides stored in fat cells. High levels of triglycerides and low HDL levels contribute to atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis is a condition of hardening of the arteries that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and heart attack.

4. Increase the likelihood of depression

"Eating sugars and carbohydrates can improve mood, but it triggers the body releases the hormone serotonin," says Teitelbaum.

Excess sugar can affect mood. Some experts believe that insulin resistance may force the release of stress hormones cortisol and GLP-1.

"Behavioral disorders, in general, influenced by the amount of sugar consumed. Fluctuations in blood sugar levels encourage metabolism and mood," said Teitelbaum.

5. Increase the risk of fungal infections

"Increasing the body's sugar levels can help fermentation fungus," says Teitelbaum.

Fungal infections in the mouth are usually caused by an overgrowth of Candida fungus. When blood sugar is very high, the excess sugar in the saliva and urine provides a perfect breeding ground for fungus.

6. Increase the risk of cancer

"The relationship between sugar and cancer is quite scary. Although not proven that sugar causes cancer growth in the body directly, but obesity may increase the risk of developing some cancers," said Bennett.

Numerous studies have shown a strong association between consumption of sugar and increased cancer risk. Women with very high blood sugar levels are much more likely to suffer from breast cancer.

The ideal daily intake of sugar

Upon the recommendation of the British Nutrition Foundation, a limit on daily sugar intake for a normal adult is 90 grams or not more than half a cup.

Number of 90 grams of sugar has included all types of sugar, either refined sugar or artificial sweetener, also derived from food or drinks that contain sugar.

When people eat sugar exceeding the recommended daily intake, the body will increase the release of calcium through the urine, causing dental caries and some serious diseases such as diabetes and its complications such as heart.

If someone is eating more than 100 grams of sugar, it can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill the bad bacteria or viruses in the body by 40 percent. The immune system will begin to decrease 30 minutes after food is consumed and will continue to decrease until for 5 hours.

Due to allergies Emergent Kissing

A kiss is done by the couple involving the exchange of fluids. These conditions trigger allergies, especially in people who do not have antibodies to specific allergens. To be aware that the occurrence of allergies due to a kiss.

The allergist said that brushing your teeth or waiting for a while after a meal can not prevent the occurrence of allergies in some people with known food allergies or medications.

"In some couples, it has sometimes saliva contains allergens despite still brush your teeth or waiting a few hours after eating," said Dr. Sami Bahna, an allergist, as quoted from MedIndia, Saturday (21/01/2012).

Dr. Bahna said allergic reactions that occur after the kiss is rare, usually caused by ignorance of the couple. When symptoms are present, including lips and throat swelling, rash, itching and wheezing.

The experts recommend to mutually open to each other, as well as for couples who have no allergies you should brush your teeth, rinse your mouth and avoid foods or allergens during the 16-24 hours before a kiss.

"However, in some cases these measures sometimes can not help. The important thing is to immediately consult a hospital if symptoms develop and give an explanation that he has an allergy to the treating doctor," said Dr. Bahna.

Dr. Bahna told such cases occur in men 30 years old who has peanut allergy experience anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) which can be life-threatening recurrent. He suffered a swollen lip and itching in the mouth when her boyfriend kissed her and know she ate nuts two hours earlier, although he had to brush my teeth, rinse and chewing gum.

Besides allergy experts also see cases of people who are allergic to chemicals in semen, lubricants, latex or even a pair of semen. Some people develop hives or wheezing due to chemicals released by the body while doing sexual interaction.

"For people who are allergic to the semen of a partner, I recommend using a condom or desensitization immunotherapy or allergy shots. But it can be overcome if known allergy triggers, so there is no suffering," said Dr. Bahna.
