Disease can indeed come from anywhere. But unwittingly made a habit of everyday can be a trigger illness. Any habit that?

Home is the place of someone doing all sorts of activity and rest. But things are done daily at home was able to trigger a person is sick.

To know that habits are done daily and can cause pain,  namely:

1. Rarely replace sponge (sponge) to wash the dishes
Sponge is a tool used for washing dishes, glasses or other equipment in the kitchen. Because it is used to scrub the dirty objects, then sponge a gathering place for microorganisms such as bacteria. If a person is rarely change it, then the sponge can be a cause of infection.

2. Rarely change the sheets and pillowcases
Every day the dead skin cells and sweat even when not doing anything, including when sleeping. Because of dead skin cells and bacteria from sweat can attach to and accumulate in mattresses and pillows so that trigger infection and respiratory distress. For that change the sheets, pillowcases and clean the mattress regularly.

3. Too often burning flesh
Burning or roasting meats typically use high temperatures that produce compounds polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that can trigger cancer.

4. Not cleaning the air conditioner
The inside of the air conditioner can be an optimal place for various types of fungi and microbes multiply. This is because the area is humid and warm environment. Sometimes when AC turned the spores can spread into the atmosphere, hence the AC should be cleaned regularly.

5. Not check the expiration date
Every time you buy goods, the first thing it should do is check the expiration date, but unfortunately many people do not care about that. Whereas food or beverages that have expired can cause poisoning with symptoms of nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.

6. Not bathing pets
Pets are just like other living things that need to be cleaned to be free of lice and other parasites. For that mandikanlah pets regularly to avoid any disease that can be transmitted to humans.

7. Watching television
Things are always done while watching television is snacking on salty foods, high caloric and fatty foods. This is a combination of unhealthy and can lead to obesity so it becomes a risk factor for many diseases.

componis who created the masterpiece the Sonata in A Minor, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died young because of ‘Vitamin D Minor’. That is, Mozart is believed to live longer if often in the sun so it is not deficient in vitamin D.

Allegations were based on the fact that the composer who died at the age of 35 years living in Austria, one of the darkest regions in Europe. In this region, the night lasted longer than during the day so that residents do not receive enough sunlight.

Not only that, the literature says that Mozart also prefer to stay up to create the work at night. By day, he spends most of his time to rest in the house so that hardly ever hit the sun.

In fact, sunlight, especially ultraviolet B (UVB) is a very important component in the formation of vitamin D in the body. Someone who rarely got the sun would be deficient in vitamin D so that the body resistance will decrease.

The consequence is experienced by Mozart, who in his lifetime have so many health problems. Almost all diseases have suffered from strep throat, tonsillitis, measles, typhoid fever to the severe impairment of kidney function.

Not only Mozart, supposedly there are plenty of other musicians who also died due to lack of vitamin D. Among British cellist Jacqueline du Pre Mary who died in 1987 at the age of 42 years and the Austrian composer, Gustav Mahler, who died in 1911 at the age of 51 years.

However, Dr. Grant’s allegations published in a paper entitled: Medical Problems of Performing Artists is only a speculation. Since the death until the burial in 1791, Mozart’s body was never autopsied to uncover the exact cause of his dea

Are you an extrovert personality, introvert or an impulsive? If so, you probably can predict weight.

The study, published by the American Psychological Association of over 50 studies since 1988 found that personal traits influence weight and body mass index (BMI). Researchers from the American Institute of Ageing is published online in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

The study found that body weight tends to increase with age. However, among all the personality, a character most likely mengelami impulsiflah obesity.

“To maintain a healthy weight, need to have a healthy diet and physical activity and both require sustained commitment. Hold it may be difficult for individuals who are very impulsive,” said researcher quoted by the Morning Herald Sun. They also noted that impulsive people are more likely to overeat.

The same study found that those who most highly valued impulsive action 10 kilograms heavier than those with less impulsive personality. However, personal ‘unfriendly’ also has a body mass index above the average. This is especially true in a cynical private, competitive or aggressive.

Human personality neurotic, more likely to experience cycles of increase and decrease in body weight throughout their lives. People who are introverts tend to be associated with stable body weight and physical leaner, while extroverts tend to have higher body mass index.

“We are examining the personalities associated with fluctuations in weight over time. Interestingly, all the characteristics of the match,” said Dr. Angelina Sutin, a leader in the study.

Nevertheless, researchers found no correlation between body weight and personality changes from time to time. “The influence of personality on body weight is complex and may include physiological mechanisms, in addition to behavior,” said Sutin.

“We hope, identify the relationship between personality and obesity, easy maintenance. For example, lifestyle interventions and exercise performed in the group is more effective for extroverts than introverts.”

Behind the red color and beautiful shape and the sour taste of fresh, has the benefit strawberries can prevent aging and cancer. A study showed that consumption of strawberries helps increase levels of antioxidants in the blood.

As quoted by the Daily Mail website, the high levels of antioxidants in strawberries has been found to be useful to combat the effects of oxidative stress, reducing the effects of aging and even the possibility of contracting diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Spanish and Italian researchers in a study involving 12 volunteers in good health. They were asked to consume a pound of strawberries for two weeks.

After four, eight, 12 and 16 days ago next month, the volunteers’ blood samples were taken for examination. Having studied and the results published in the journal Chemistry, scientists concluded, eating strawberries regularly can increase antioxidant levels in the blood and also helps prevent red blood cells have hemolysis or red blood cell breakdown process.

Scientists from the University of Marche in Italy and the University of Granada in Spain said, strawberries strength lies in the high content of phenolic compounds, which have antioxidant properties.

According to the researchers, the high content of phenolic compounds is able to alleviate oxidative stress that may occur with increasing age, while exercising or even after childbirth.

Study author Dr. Maurizio Battino, from the Polytechnic University of Marche said: “We have shown that some varieties of strawberries to make erythrocytes more resistant to oxidative stress.

“It could be very important when you consider that this phenomenon can cause serious illness. But most important is the strawberries should be part of a healthy and balanced diet, as one of five servings of fruits and vegetables must be consumed every day.

They also plan to investigate whether similar benefits can be gained after eating more strawberries, such as 150g or 200g, and also want to look at the varieties of strawberries that contain the highest antioxidant.

Dr. Jose Luis Quiles, University of Granada added: “Different varieties of strawberries are also being analyzed in the laboratory, because they each contain antioxidants in amounts and different proportions. For the body has a mechanism to process a very wide range of antioxidants, which work at a level different in each individual.

“It can be a tool that repair oxidized genetic material, or both molecules produced by the body itself or consumed through the diet, which neutralize free radicals,” the researchers said.

Strawberries contain large amounts of phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, which have antioxidant properties.

If you want to have long-term memory, and then go to sleep quite soundly. Intermittent sleep soundly alias could not affect the brain’s ability to remember and build memory.

A new study finds that people who wake up in the middle of the night because sleep is not restful or just having a baby would be hard to remember what had happened.

During the day, the human brain will collect memories to all events. At some point, the brain must sort out what happened during the day and some things will be ‘locked’ as a permanent memory.

“There are some things we need to ‘lock’ as a permanent memory that hard,” Dr. Neil Stanley, sleep expert and former chairman of the British Sleep Society.

According to Drs. Stanley, a process that occurs when people fast asleep. So anything that affects sleep will have an effect on memory storage processes.

Sleep is intermittent usually common in women who have babies, people who are addicted to alcohol and sleep apnea, a condition in which the throat narrows and repeatedly closes during sleep, thereby limiting the oxygen and cause the patient to wake up.

The study, led by Dr. Lecea is using mice, but it is also relevant in humans are not sleeping soundly.

In the study researchers send pulses of light directly into the brains of mice when they were asleep. This means it can interfere with sleep mice without affecting total sleep time or sleep composition.

It uses a technique called optogenetics, where specific cells are genetically engineered so that it can be controlled by light.

Researchers are targeting the type of brain cell that plays an important role in the turn between the level of sleep and wakefulness.

The mice were then placed in a box with two objects, one of which they have encountered. Keep in mind, the mice will naturally spend more time examining the new object.

But when his sleep disturbed, the mice showed an interest in both objects, but one they’ve encountered. This suggests that the rats had impaired memory due to disrupted sleep.

“We conclude that regardless of the amount of total sleep or sleep intensity, a minimum unit of disrupted sleep is very important for memory consolidation,” explains Dr. Lecea.
