Sumatran rhinoceros is the smallest rhinoceros and most primitive type of the five types of rhinos left in the world - this is why frequently referred to the primitive rhinoceros. Length from the mouth up to the base of the tail around 240-270 cm, height 120-135 cm, and weight 909 kg.
Cula next biggest is in front, while the second cula on the eyes and smaller - sometimes only in the form clots.
While Java rhinoceros-sized larger than the Sumatran rhinoceros. 168-175 cm height and barely reach 4 meters long. Java rhino females do not have cula, and cula in male rhinoceros can reach 27 cm in length.

Water crisis threatens the economic growth of South Africa
Johannesburg (AFP) - Minister of Water Affairs and Environment of South Africa, Edna Molewa, said the country needs enough water to ensure economic development.
"Climate change makes water treatment more complicated due to uncertainty and can not be predicted weather patterns. Political and economic challenges it creates a very real," said Molewa.
Senior government ministers stressed the water crisis is a threat to economic growth in South Africa.
Molewa said that water shortages affecting power plants that are important for economic development, and installation of power plants in the country need assurance of water supply at the most.
"South Africa has been experiencing power shortages. When the power goes out, the country's stalled. Power plant requires water to guarantee supplies at the most," said Molewa, Xinhua reported.
According to department estimates, South Africa will require a capital investment as much as 69 billion dollars to acquire the water within the next 10 years for the sustainable economic development.
Meanwhile, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), water is the most natural resources not addressed in the world, but the effect on national security through their impact on economic growth, food supply and health care, the researchers said.
Various reports indicate that demand for water increases and the impact of climate change will make water become increasingly scarce in the future in many countries.

Batam (ANTARA News) - Five percent of the 2408 islands in the Riau Islands province is estimated to be lost by 2022 as climate change, according to marine scientist Eddywan Saturday.
"Estimates by experts, in the 10 years five percent of the 2408 islands in the Riau Islands will be lost," said the winner of the degree of Doctor of Science from Boston University Marine United States.
He said climate change-induced global warming causing polar ice to melt, thus increasing the volume of sea water and drown some islands in the Riau Islands.
He said to prevent the loss of the island, the government and society must work together to reduce ocean currents, such as by carrying out reforestation on the beach.
Communities also need to care for natural resources do not lead to over-exploitation of damaged ecosystems.
He also reminded the reclamation is done without considerations of environmental aspects will lead to abrasion. Reclamation can eliminate animal ecosystem functioning of coral reef supports to keep it sturdy.
If the animal dead coral, coral islands that form will be damaged and fragile. Conditions of weak rock holds the potential vanish. Islands are easily destroyed and strong ocean winds and strong tides, he said.

In 2010 there was an increase 21 percent by 1963 the number of IVF cycles.
"The women realize their biological clock is ticking. Biological clock men and women are different. These women are aware they can not wait to have children until they appear ideal man," said Prof.Geeta Nargund, head of reproductive medicine from St.George 's University Hospital in London.
According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in all types of in vitro fertilization increased 5.9 percent in 2010. Therapies include IVF and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed by injecting a single sperm into an egg cell.
Of all the IVF treatment, 74 percent use their own eggs and 17 percent used another woman's eggs are frozen. About three percent use a donor egg and donor insemination using a six percent.

Exercise Increase Sperm Production
Kompas.com - Prepare your sneakers. Men who regularly perform endurance exercise (endurance) tend to have better sperm production.
This was evidenced in research by researchers from Spain. They tested 31 healthy men who regularly exercise 2-4 times a week. When compared with men who rarely exercise, it turns out these guys sperm swim faster.
Why is that? Diana Vaamonde, Ph.D., who conducted this research explains that the exercise will stimulate the production of hormones such as testosterone are required to have seminal fluid and sperm cells healthy.
However, exercise should be done in moderation. Sports are too heavy with high intensity can actually cause a decrease in sperm quality in the age of 50 years. Sports are too esktrim mentioned spending will stimulate the stress hormones like cortisol that can actually interfere with the male sex hormone.
To keep the sperm count remained high, the recommended exercise duration is approximately 3-5 hours per week that are divided into several times.Kompas.com

"Junk Food" Make Sperm Drag
KOMPAS.com - A lot of research showing the negative effects of the consumption of junk food on health. In fact, says the latest study, the consumption of junk food is also related to the amount of sperm production in men.
In a small study reported in the journal Human Reproduction, researchers studied a group of 99 men attending a fertility clinic in the United States. The results showed that men who consume high amounts of fat tend to have fewer sperm.
The study also found that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish and vegetable oils, can help improve the quality of sperm.
Lead researcher Professor Jill Attaman, of Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, said, "The relationship between the two is quite big. This finding is both a reason to encourage everyone to limit their consumption of saturated fat is associated with cardiovascular disease perkembagan."
In the study, researchers divided the participants into three groups of men to see how much of their fat consumption. The results show, than those who ate less fat, fat man with the highest intake had 43 percent of the amount of sperm and lower sperm concentrations of 38 per cent lower. Sperm concentration is defined as the number of sperm per unit volume of cement.
Researchers emphasized that high-fat diet does not seem to interfere with the fertility of the male respondents in this research. In fact, no male sperm count below the WHO threshold set that is at least 39 million to 15 million per milliliter concentrations. Even in men who consumed the highest fat content (37 percent calories exceed normal limits), the number of sperm concentration reached 125 million with an average of 51 million per milliliter.
However, researchers still account for the fact that 71 percent of male respondents are overweight or obese, in which case it will certainly have a negative impact on sperm quality.
Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, assess the research is still limited and needs to be studied further. "It's a relatively small study that showed no association between intake of saturated fat diet with semen quality," he said
Pacey pleaded not surprised by these findings and the future he hopes there will be further research to clarify the relationship between the two. "There are several ways to improve the quality of sperm for infertile men with eating include eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking and if you are overweight should try to lose weight in the normal range," he added.Kompas.com

One is the rising price of ginger. "Usually we buy ginger a price of Rp 20,000, but ever since the harvest season changed the price soared to Rp 100,000," he explained.
Other than price, according Mulyo also worrying is the availability of raw materials. Currently the starting rare earth are plants wedge (Eurycoma longifolia), which comes from Borneo.
"In recent years the supply of these plants continue to decline as many forests are cut down and replaced with palm oil," he added.
To get around this, PT.Deltomed which also produces brands Antangin or herbal remedies Herbal Cough, is now actively working with farmers for breeding and planting herbs.
One way is to plant cashew cashew farmers in Wonogiri. "We encourage farmers to grow herbs in the plant cashew cashews. Instead of idle land and planted the other can not," he explained.

Habit drinking or swallowing large amounts of beer or wine was found to eliminate the power. In fact, often heard, alcoholic beverages used as an arousal before sex. Many advertisements in various print media advertising of liquor products may create the impression of a warm, loving, and sexy.
According to Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld of San Francisco and author of the column Dr. Hippocrates in various American newspapers, alcohol is an example of a drug that is so widely used, but should not be regarded merely as a drug. "In larger doses, there was depression and slowing of reflexes. Stimulation due to alcohol actually caused the release of the barriers that exist, "he wrote, as quoted from the book Sexual Nutrition (Sexual Nutirition) written by Dr. Morton Walker.
Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld said, drinking habits beralkhohol cause liver produces large amounts of enzymes that can destroy testosterone, male libido hormone. A study from universities in California showed that most men do not get an erection after drinking alcohol three times, each dose is 1 ounce. Because alcohol reduces testosterone production, heavy drinking can lead to permanent impotence, even barren tendency in men.
However, some people with strong personal character still get an erection while drunk heavily. Sexual researcher, Dr. CW Sheppard and Dr. GR Gay, concluded, taking into account the benefit of the doubt in excessive use, does not make sense to use a stimulant of materials that contain alcohol.
"Someone who can not react to normal psychosexual stimulation should seek professional help. In general, drinking only disappointment, not on sexual improvement, "Sheppard and Gray wrote in a report published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology.
Still in a written report Shepperd and Gray, said that people who drink alcohol, spirits can rise, but his penis is only up temporarily, then only half-hard erection. The true impact of alcohol in all its forms, whiskey, wine, and beer, aka flaccid penis can make lackluster. Getting drunk, getting soft. "
What about women? Some women say, the effects of alcohol can make the passion to ride. According to research psychologist dr dr GT Wilson and DM Lawson, the women get drunk faster and sober longer than men. Women absorb alcohol faster and keep him first in the blood than men. As a result, it can harm the fetus.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ari Fahrial DR, SpPD, digestive health experts from Cipto Mangungkusumo, say, run fast process that is ideally not a "revenge", which it wants to avenge or eating out at fast. Because, in the process of fasting, basically there should be weight loss.
According to Ari, fasting can be termed as the concept of alternate day fasting, where in one day and a half meal, half-fast. The purpose there is a reduction in calorie intake. "Usually the weight loss of about 5 percent," he said.
Ari asserted, if a person experience weight loss, will be followed by a decrease in calories, cholesterol, fats, free radicals, and improvement of antioxidants. When fasting, it is better to consume vegetables and fruits that contain lots of antioxidants.
Because, with lots of vegetables and fruits, in fact in the intestinal absorption of cholesterol and there has been a reduction of sugar by the fibers.
"In principle, if we fast, the body still produces sugar and fat destroyed. With fat is destroyed, the automatic piles that do not need to be reduced. The effect of weight loss," he said.

According to Dr. Siti Setiati, SpPD, specialist in diseases of the Division of Geriatric Medicine Department of Medicine Faculty of Universitas Indonesia is relatively (medicine), with fasting, the amount of calories of food will be reduced.
"Restrictions on the number of calories of food is one way that has been shown to slow aging and prevent diseases that commonly occur in the elderly and cancer," he said, Wednesday (27/07/2011) in Jakarta.
When fasting, will generally be a reduction in the number of calories diasup up to 10-40 percent of daily needs. The results of research on animals has shown, by reducing the amount of calories, it can extend life expectancy, reduce the risk of cancer, and prevent progression of the disease, such as diabetes and kidney.
"Studies in humans also exist. As a result, reduced body fat composition, blood pressure improved, decreased cholesterol, decreased risk of diabetes, and can slow the aging process," he said.
Siti said the various studies and the literature it has proven health benefits of fasting. However, one certainly will not feel its effect immediately if it is only a month of fasting. "It's certainly not the fast that only one month only, but must be constantly made in the following months," he said.

About the Ageing Phase Yourself
KOMPAS.com - When hearing the word of aging, which crossed our minds are usually anything that has to do with the condition that starts sagging skin and wrinkles. But the real meaning of aging is the decrease of some function of organs.
As we get older, the aging process will continue to happen, but we often do not realize it. Phases of aging in human life is actually divided into three phases, namely the subclinical phase (which occurs when a man aged 25-35 years), the phase transition (ages 35-45), and the clinical phase (above 45 years).
In the subclinical phase, the human body is experiencing the aging process, but often not recognized because there are no accompanying symptoms.
Meanwhile, the phase transition, the symptoms of aging begin to appear. In this phase, the hormone the body will have declined by 25 percent, blood sugar began to increase, muscle mass becomes smaller, and began to have problems in heart and obesity.
When someone enters the clinical phase, further signs of the aging process more visible. The signs of the most obvious of which are impaired absorption of nutrients and minerals, decreased bone density, from the appearance of symptoms of chronic disease, and decreased sexual function.
In this phase, it is usually the person is already starting to feel old, especially when the children are married and have grandchildren.
Inhibition of Aging
Every human being that can not be separated from the process of aging, but aging can be prevented or inhibited. One way is to use antioxidants that prevent free radicals and prevent damage to cells or tissues.
Basically, every human being has a natural antioxidant found in every cell in the body tissues, such as Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD), catalase, gluthatione peroxidase, and so forth. The natural antioxidants will directly deal with free radicals and form a protective shield for your body.
However, the older the person, the amount of natural antioxidants produced by the body starts to decrease, whereas the number of free radicals continue to rise, partly due to exposure to pollution and preservatives found in food. Therefore, it takes an additional intake of antioxidants, either from food, beverages and supplements.
Antioxidant supplements are still necessary, especially if you can not eat vegetables or fresh fruit every day and tend to eat high-fat foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, physical activity is too heavy, has a psychological burden, and live in a polluted environment.
Another way to slow the aging process is to do a detoxification (neutralizing toxins in the body), diet (reducing fat intake), physical exercise, reducing stress, and the harmonization of the hormone.Kompas.com

5 "superfoods" to Delay Aging
KOMPAS.com - Having a body that is always healthy, look younger and energetic is the hope of every person. You can realize this hope through various efforts. One of the steps are simple enough to get used to implement a balanced healthy diet.
The selection of food was very important because it means the food can make a big change, especially in response to aging cells and keep the body from disease threats. In the following, we present some foods that have a vital role as an anti-aging. Entering one of these foods in your diet list is a wise move to keep the body young.
A. Spinach
Youthful sense is not always measured in terms of appearance, but also stamina and strength. And one of the problems faced by vulnerable older adults is osteoporosis. As is known, spinach is the best source of vitamin K. One cup of fresh spinach supply more than one-half times your daily requirement.
"The new study suggests that vitamin K can improve bone density and reduce the risk of hip fracture," says Katherine Tucker, PhD, director of nutritional epidemiology from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University in Boston.
In addition to maintaining strong posture, spinach is also good for keeping your eye health. Spinach is a major source of zeaxanthin and lutein - a necessary nutrient for the retina. Such compounds, to function in absorbing dangerous light before further damage occurs.
For maksmal results, add the strawberries on spinach salad. Both are rich in plant chemicals known, polyphenols - which makes you able to think quickly. "When people start to get older, the brain cells sepasangan lover is like an old married couple - a result they are not able to communicate more," says James Joseph, PhD, director of the Neuroscience Lab at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging.
"Polyphenols make the conversation flowing again by promoting signals between cells and helps them communicate and improve memory," he added.
2. Curry Powder (curry powder)
This is sort of a mixture of spices that are widely used in South Asian communities. Curry powder usually consists of a mixture of coriander, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek (fenugreek), and red pepper. In South Asian countries like India, curry powder is consumed almost every day and is believed to have huge benefits, especially in helping to maintain mental health. No wonder that in India, cases of Alzheimer's is fairly low at only a quarter of the number of cases in the United States.
Most of the main ingredient of turmeric curry made that contain curcumin, a type of antioxidant that has been shown to inhibit cancer cells. Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles believe, curcumin could prevent Alzheimer's by inhibiting the growth of amyloid plaques - a type of protein that is toxic to brain cells.
In addition, the curry can protect us from harmful free radicals, which attack healthy cells in the body and damage tissues and organs.
3. Tomatoes
According to German researchers, the tomato has a big hand in protecting the skin from ultraviolet light exposure. To prove it, researchers recruited volunteers who were given each day of tomato paste mixed with olive oil for 10 weeks. After receiving UV exposure, volunteers were given tomato paste has a lower risk of skin burns (40 percent) than those who consumed olive oil only. Compounds in tomatoes called lycopene trusted experts as the main actors who contribute in protecting the skin from sun oxidation.
4. Almonds
Almonds are the best sources of vitamin E. Why vitamin E is very important? Researchers from several leading medical schools look at the impact of vitamins and minerals that affect the speed, coordination, and balance in people over age 65, and the only one who can make a difference is vitamin E.
The participants with the physical performance of the weakest, are known to have the lowest levels of vitamin E, while the more agile participants have an adequate amount of vitamins in their bodies. The researchers speculate that vitamin has the ability to make the body are coordinated by neutralizing free radicals that interfere with the muscles and nervous system.
5. Brown
Brown is certainly not the usual chocolate you get in the market, but dark chocolate or dark chocolate. Dark chocolate can not only satisfy your cravings, but also to lower blood pressure. Blood pressure will generally increase with age, thus increasing a person's risk for heart attack and stroke.
German researchers recently found that eating just a quarter of an ounce of dark chocolate per day can lower blood pressure 2-3 points in hypertensive patients. By having a healthy heart, then your age will become longer and younger.

Antibiotics and Children's Immune System
Kompas.com - Review of the importance of rational use of antibiotics to children has been frequently discussed. But the only known side effect was limited to the effects of germ resistance. In fact, overuse of antibiotics can lead to chronic disease.
"Rational use of antibiotics that are not thought to be the trigger many cases of obesity, type 1 diabetes, allergies and asthma, which now number more than doubled," says Martin Blaser, professor of microbiology from New York University Langone Medical Center, USA.
Humans are also often called meta-organism, because of the large number and volume of microbes that live in our bodies. They live in the intestines, skin, and even the navel.
Research shows that these microbes provide many health benefits, such as helping the body get the vitamin K, energy, and prevent autoimmune disease.
Meanwhile, an antibiotic that is derived from the anti and bios (life, life), means a substance that can kill and weaken a living thing, namely micro-organisms such as bacteria, parasites, or fungi. But he did not kill the virus.
Antibiotics are wonder drug and it has contributed to improving human life expectancy. Unfortunately, doctors often prescribe antibiotics easily, including for diseases caused by viruses.
Blasser decades researching the bacteria found, the irrational use of antibiotics to give a greater impact, but less recognized, ie change the microbial community in the body.
Allegation is substantiated by research in 2010 that found antiotik cause changes in gut microbial populations drastically and will never be back to normal. Other research shows super antibiotics cause bacteria in the body that can last up to 3 years.
According Blesser, in the 21st century, the bacteria that had been living in the intestines of humans thousands of years ago now the number is less than 6 percent. The study was conducted in children in developed countries like the U.S., Sweden and Germany.
Research shows the use of amoxilin, can eliminate 20-50 percent of the bacteria H. pylori. The effect, colon cancer is now rarely found. But diseases such as cancer of the esophagus and reflux improved dramatically.
"It's nothing to do with the actual reduction in the bacteria H. pylori protects the esophagus. Disruption of this balance of bacteria also cause a person more susceptible to asthma and allergies," he said.
Women born in the 1940s, populations of bacteria in the body is still normal because at that time only known two kinds of antibiotics. If they had a daughter, chances are good number of bacteria decreased slightly, but the grandchildren and great-grandson, diminishing in number again.
"Every generation has fewer number of bacteria. I am not suggesting that being anti to the antibiotics but physicians should be wise to look at the benefits and disadvantages of prescribing antibiotics," he said."Rational use of antibiotics that are not thought to be the trigger many cases of obesity, type 1 diabetes, allergies and asthma, which now number more than doubled," says Martin Blaser, professor of microbiology from New York University Langone Medical Center, USA.

Kompas.com - The use of plants to treat illnesses for thousands of years has been implemented by the community. Including onions. According to records, garlic has been used since 3,500 years ago in the culinary world and treatment.
Although the smell is too sharp, but when compared to other super foods like pomegranate, red wine or green tea, onions were far more superior in the prevention and treatment of disease.
Some chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cataracts, or heart disease are just a few examples of health problems can be overcome onions. Besides herbs this one also has a strong antibiotic and helps reduce diseases caused by bacterial contamination.
Hundreds of studies published mentions garlic naturally has a component that is protecting the nervous and cardiovascular system, improve immune function, fighting the growth of Tuor, and helping the healthy hormone function.
One of the benefits of garlic in preventing heart disease is due to its ability to lower cholesterol, prevent hardening of the arteries, improving blood vessel elasticity, as well as keeping the blood pressure remained normal.
Surprisingly onions also have anticancer activity and keep blood sugar levels remain normal. It is not a single onion prevent diabetes, you still have to compensate by limiting foods high in sugar and fat.
Take advantage of the power of garlic to eat them every day. Although the actual raw onion contains many nutritious components, but the onions are processed quickly abortion was much reduced.
The thing to remember is to avoid the process onion peel too deeply because it contains its outer shell containing a cancer preventive flavonoid or more.

How Much We Use Brain?
Basis, have brains just 1 ounce! Such nagging sometimes asked someone who annoyed face stupidity of others. In fact, according to the results of research conducted at Virginia Commonwealth University; as quoted by the journal Intelligence, brain size has nothing to do with intelligence. And probably no one really has an ounce of brains. Normal human brain size in the range 1.15 to 1.42 kg, roughly the size of an orange (grapefruit).
Large brain is generally owned by people in the Antarctic region as required to support visual function. Understandably, in the northern hemisphere end of a visit there just a little sun, so the weather tends to dim. That's why they need more visibility than we are at the equator, so I could look around.
While the inhabitants of Micronesia region have relatively smaller brains, but certainly not up to 1 ounce. Women have smaller brains than men, 11-12 percent, but that does not mean men are more intelligent.
"Only the brains of different buildings. Areas of the brain associated with intelligence in men with different areas of the brain associated with intelligence in women. There are at least two different brain architectures that lead to the same level of intelligence between men and women," said Prof.. Richard Haier, a consultant neuroscience at the University of California, Irvine.
Need Lots of Energy
Another misperception that had circulated for decades is the opinion that most of us just use your brain about 10 percent. Another major part remains idle assumption was later disputed by some experts, among others, by Barry Gordon, a neurologist from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in Baltimore, USA.
"The evidence shows, all day we use the brains of 100 percent," added John Henley, brain specialists from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
In fact, when we sleep, he explained, frontal cortex areas that control high-level thinking and self-awareness, or somato sensory area which helps us to feel around, stay active.
He stated that at one time is no more than 10 percent of the brain that we use, but every day all parts of our brain functioned. So no one was allowed to remain unemployed.
Reminded that every part of the brain have their respective functions, such as the frontal lobe related to motor, memory, cognition, and language, then in charge of studying the cerebral cortex of new information, make decisions, etc..
If every time we use every part of the brain simultaneously, it will require a lot of body energy. Most of our body's energy, about 20 percent, is allocated for normal brain function. That means we will lack the energy to walk, breathe, eat, digest food, and other vital activities.
Thousand Tera
Physically, our brain is a soft organ, mostly composed of water (78 percent), fat (10 percent), and protein (8 percent). Beyond the physical aspects, in fact many scientists are only able to uncover a bit of mystery that surrounds the brain. Up to now not clearly known about the dreams, the link between the conscious and the subconscious, the relationship between brain and mind, soul and brain, and many other things, including how much brain capacity.
In this era of computing our brain is often compared with the "brain" that in fact the computer was a human creation. In our brains there are about 100 billion nerve cells (neurons). Between nerve cells that have a connection. Experts suspect, in many connections that the data (memory) is stored. It is estimated that our brain's capacity to store terabytes of data between 1000-1000.
Whatever the size of our brains, most importantly we love him by giving him a healthy diet, exercise regularly, use it only for the positive and beneficial for others, also mengistirahatkannya when tired. Like muscles, the brain can also be achieved and the need to relax, especially if the need to concentrate on the same task in the long term.
To reinvigorate a tired brain, Dr.. Marc Berman suggested for a moment the streets in a city park between the trees big or small, looking at the beautiful green garden, instead of going to a busy shopping center.
"Enjoying the natural beauty of memory will improve performance by up to 20 percent. Instead, go to crowded places instead will add to the anxiety," said researchers from the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, Canada.
Well, if the brain is cloudy, a fresh look natural, so fresh anymore and can work effectively and productively. (GHS / E.Saptorini)

Large brain is generally owned by people in the Antarctic region as required to support visual function. Understandably, in the northern hemisphere end of a visit there just a little sun, so the weather tends to dim. That's why they need more visibility than we are at the equator, so I could look around.
While the inhabitants of Micronesia region have relatively smaller brains, but certainly not up to 1 ounce. Women have smaller brains than men, 11-12 percent, but that does not mean men are more intelligent.
"Only the brains of different buildings. Areas of the brain associated with intelligence in men with different areas of the brain associated with intelligence in women. There are at least two different brain architectures that lead to the same level of intelligence between men and women," said Prof.. Richard Haier, a consultant neuroscience at the University of California, Irvine.
Need Lots of Energy
Another misperception that had circulated for decades is the opinion that most of us just use your brain about 10 percent. Another major part remains idle assumption was later disputed by some experts, among others, by Barry Gordon, a neurologist from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in Baltimore, USA.
"The evidence shows, all day we use the brains of 100 percent," added John Henley, brain specialists from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

10 Foods Brain intelligent
KOMPAS.com-Want your child very well at school? Try to pay attention to the nutritional needs of your jelly them every day. In addition, there is also a good idea to enter the following 10 types of foods are best. Foods that are dubbed "Brain Food" is believed to stimulate the growth of brain cells, improve function, improve memory and concentration of children's thinking.
1. Salmon
Fatty fish like salmon is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids - DHA and EPA - both essential for the growth and development of brain function. Recent research also suggests that people who earn more fatty acid intake has a sharper mind and recorded satisfactory results in testing capabilities. According to experts, although tuna contain omega-3 acids, but fish is not as rich as salmon.
2. Eggs
Egg protein is known as an important source of relatively cheap and the price is quite affordable. Sections were solid yolk will contain choline, a substance that can help the development of memory or memory.
3. Peanut butter
"Groundnut (peanut) and peanut butter is one source of vitamin E. This vitamin is an antioxidant that may protect nerve cell membranes. Together with thiamin, vitamin E helps the brain and nervous system in use glucose for energy needs.
4. Whole grains
The brain requires glucose supply or preparation of the body that are constant. Whole grains have the ability to support those needs. Fiber contained in whole grains may help regulate the release of glucose in the body. Wheat also contains B vitamins to maintain healthy functioning nervous system.
5. Oats / Oatmeal
Oats is one of the most popular types of cereals among children and rich in essential nutrients for the brain. Oats can provide the energy or fuel for the brain a much needed children's activities started in the morning. Rich in fiber content, oats will keep your child's brain needs are met throughout the morning. Oats are also a source of vitamin E, vitamin B, potassium and zinc - which makes the body and brain function to function at full capacity.
6. Berry
Strawberry, cherry, and blackberry blueberriy. In general, the stronger the color, the more nutritisi that at birth. Berries contain high levels of antioxidants, especially vitamin C, which is useful to prevent cancer.
Some research suggests those who get the blueberry and strawberry extracts have perbaikian in memory function. Seeds from fruit berries also was rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
7. Nuts
Beans are special foods because these foods have the energy derived from protein and complex carbohydrates. In addition, nuts are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Nuts are also good food for the brain because they can sustain the energy and ability to think of children at its peak in the afternoon if consumed at lunch.
According to the research, red beans and pinto beans contain more omega 3 fatty origin than other nuts - especially ALA - omega-3 type of origin is essential for growth and brain function.
8. Colorful vegetables
Tomatoes, red sweet potato, pumpkin, carrots, spinach is a rich vegetable source of nutrients and antioxidants that will keep brain cells strong and healthy.
9. Milk and Yogurt
Foods derived from dairy products contain high protein and B vitamins. Two types of nutrients essential for growth of brain tissue, neurotransmitters and enzymes. Milk and yogurt are also able to make a full stomach because the content of protein and carbohydrate as well as a source of energy for the brain.
Recent research indicates that children and teenagers need more vitamin D even 10 times the recommended dose. Vitamin D is also important for muscle and nervous system life cycle of human cells as a whole.
10. Lean beef
Iron is an essential mineral that helps kids stay energized and concentrate at sekolag. Lean beef is one atu food sources that contain plenty of iron. By simply taking 1 ounce per day, then your body will help in the absorption of iron darai other sources. Beef also contains zinc to help maintain memory.
Khsusus for a vegetarian, you can use black beans and soy burgers as an option. Nuts are is an important source of nonheme iron - a type of iron that requires vitamin C for absorption by the body. Eating tomatoes, orange juice, strawberries and nuts can also be selected as an effort to meet the need of iron.

Sperm into the urinary bladder
Diabetes is one disease that often leads to sexual dysfunction, in the form of erectile dysfunction and retrograde ejaculation. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to have or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction occurs due to disruption of blood vessels called angiopathy.
Retrograde ejaculation means the ejaculate backwards, sperm are not expelled through the penis, but entry into the bladder. Usually men who have retrograde ejaculation do not see any sperm that comes out when orgasm.
You have two things that penile erection is not optimal and there is no sperm comes out when orgasm. Sperm did not come out because it goes into the bladder kecing, not because of running out. Fluid and sperm cells are produced spermatozoanya fixed, but when you ejaculate, sperm enter the bladder because the muscles around the bladder bottom hole does not close tightly. This situation is caused by nerve disorders caused by diabetes.
Retrograde ejaculation, from the point of sexual satisfaction, is actually not a problem even if no sperm comes out. Unless you and your wife still wants to have children. To overcome this, diabetes must be addressed. In addition, you must receive treatment erektogenik, which helps the erection.
Also there are treatments to help muscle contraction around the pit bottom of the bladder. Thus, the sperm no longer get into the bladder. I suggest you get the right treatment and examination, including laboratory tests.

Want to brains? Be Active People
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Develop intelligence or intelligence not only to read, count, or remember. All activities, including socializing, sports, play, able to increase the brain works. Increasingly active in many ways, the more dilute our brains.
We often associate with old age forgetfulness. In fact, the fact is not always the case. In a small company can have two friends who are often forgotten. If you do not miss the vehicle keys, watches, sunglasses, cell phones usually yes. Which one are older than half a century, so many people understand. The other one? Not yet 30 years!
Yes indeed. As people age, will also decrease the body functions, such as decreased reflex reactions, skin no longer tight, so thinning gray hair pigment, deflating muscles and no longer chewy.
The same thing happens in the brain. Especially from the age of 45 years, will lose about 50,000 brain cells every day of the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain most clever. The ability of the hippocampus, a brain region where the memory process, also began to decline.
At the age of 70, brain volume decreased 10 percent every 10 years. At the age of 80 years, the decline in brain volume reached 20 percent.
Like an orange peel
Form of the human brain is not attractive. The outer layer of the skin looks wrinkled like a withered orange and looks like a small street that was spinning. That is an intricate labyrinth of nerves with blood vessels and billions of cells called neurons supermini.
Neurons or brain cells is similar to an octopus with a nucleus and a large number of tentacles that spread in all directions. Each tentacle has thousands of bulge-like suction pads, which is also headed in all directions.
Neurons work in such a way with different functions. There are three special sections of neurons that regulate how it works. First, the action associated with the outside world like seeing the sights, listen to music, feel the heat of the sun, touching the book, or tasting the food.
Secondly, matters relating to the muscles, movements, and so on. Third, related to the ability to think, remember, imagine, and imagination.
An expert neurons and Director of The Royal Institution, London, Prof. Susan Greenfild mention that one neuron can transmit the transmission of chemical 500 times in one second. While each transmission has a different function.
Most important is the need for auto-dialing information a regular or fixed to form the nervous system. Communication network is the nervous system that marks a person's intellectual abilities. The more bumps tentacles and increasingly tight, the sooner the transmission of messages between cells of the brain.
If there is no problem or obstacle in the formation of neural tissue (eg due to drugs, viral infections, and malnutrition), but because of age, of course, we need to realize that brain volume shrinkage process is not something that should be feared.
Unlike computer
Just like other organs, such as muscle, if not trained in its use, the ability of the brain will decrease drastically. In contrast, the brain is often used will be stronger. Unlike a computer that has limitations, increasingly sharp when the brain precisely honed and added data constantly.
Such as data banks, the top layer of the brain (neocortex), where bersemayamnya intelligentsia, made up of 15 million brain cells interact with each other in a fast-moving flow of electricity. Any information stored in the top layer of the brain will soon be covered by the fluid of the brain called myelin. Myelin plays an important role in the recall data.
Just like neural networks, the more often the process of remembering and thinking repeated, increasingly thick layer of myelin is formed. As a result, the higher the ability to remember. If not repeated or used, a layer of myelin can be lost.
Left and right brain
The brain has two hemispheres, left and right. Both parts are biologically identical in structure and working harmoniously. However, very different functions and regulate different body parts as well.
The left brain controls the right side of the body and the right brain controls the left side of the body. Injuries to the brain can cause paralysis on the left side of the body to the right, and vice versa.
The left brain care about numbers, logic, organization, and anything else that requires rational thought, the reasons for the deductive and analytical considerations. This section is used to thinking about things that are mathematically and scientifically.
While taking care of the right brain abstract thinking is full of imagination, such as color, rhythm, music, and other thought processes that require creativity, originality, creativity, and artistic talent. Right brain thinking is more relaxed, less bound by the parameters of scientific and mathematical.
Originally associated only with the control intelligence in the academic field, which is limited to reading, writing, and arithmetic. In fact, third ability is just the left brain work.
While the ability of painting, music, sports, and others are not regarded as intelligence. No wonder that many experts declared brain, most people do not optimize their brainpower.
Synergies between the two hemispheres of the brain will produce brain sejenius those sorts of Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Beethoven, and others.
No wonder if the author of The Unschooled Mind: How Children Think and How Schools Should Teach (Basic Books, 1991) and Multiple Intelligences: The Theory in Practice (Basic Books, 1993), Prof. Howard Gardner of Harvard University, said that human intelligence is include linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical, visual spatial, kinesthetic, musical, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal.
Eighth intelligence can and should be trained so that our brains can work optimally. Been given a good should be used, is not it? @ Abdi Susanto
