Food Contamination


Rarely fresh food or raw food microorganisms obtained in a free state, since the beginning of food containing various kinds of bacteria; type of bacteria is influenced by the nature of food, acidity, liquid water content, ambient temperature, penggarapannya procedures and so on. Damage to food depends on microbial activity and the activity of enzymes contained in food itself. Damage to food can be seen from the changes in color, texture, smell and taste.
Ways to cope with the rottenness of food include careful handling, sanitation and personnel place, avoid temperatures that are too high and rapid transport of food from the source when taking up the time consumed. Handling, temperature and time are critical factors for the two types of food that is fresh fish and products from milk.
Fresh foods are:
1. FishFish is a good source of protein but easy stale and foul smells, is due to fish contain a powerful enzyme, a procedure which resulted in the arrest of the cell opening, the entry of organisms mosofisik and tearing of the fish's stomach. The characteristics of fresh fish is a bit of mucus, brightly colored skin, clear eyes with black pupil and the cornea is opaque, bright red gills, strong texture and the like hollow-cavity.
2. ShellfishEg crab, prawn, shrimp, oyster, clam, mussels and other large, clean shells depends on the control of pollution in coastal areas where farm and also at the processing plant.


    
* Shrimp

    
Shrimp caught a lot of warm water in coastal areas, shrimp must be captured and processed quickly to prevent decay caused by bacteria and outolisis. The best method to avoid fraud is to cut the head of the shrimp immediately after capture and freezing with ice.

    
* Oysters - Oyster

    
Because oysters tend to bacterial infestation, oysters soaked in liquid chlorine, are removed from their shells, washed, sorted according to size, packed in a metal container and then iced. Oyster processing house must be clean and pollution free.

    
* Big Mussels

    
To prevent contamination should be washed clean of sand and mud and soaked in liquid chlorine.

    
* Mussels

    
Mussels are found on the edge of the Atlantic ocean, just the meat is eaten.

    
* Sea Shells

    
Sea shells is captured by divers and are eaten is meat only.

    
* Crab

    
Types of crabs, among others: k. soft skin, k. blue and k. black. There are also certain types of crabs are immersed in liquid sodium sitrik bensoat or dilute acid so durable and stored at a temperature of 32-40 ° F there is also canned.

    
* Shrimp large

    
Large shrimp sold alive, rarely canned shrimp.

3. Milk
Milk is always processed prior to pasteurization, but perishable milk, milk contamination usually comes from the environment, the smell of milk easily changed due to bacterial activity. Milk can be a source of pathogenic organisms and therefore need to be heated milk to reduce bacterial populations. Milk can be borne diseases such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Brucella can be prevented by pasteurization also hoof and mouth disease.
Milk can also be a vector-borne diseases such as fever typoid man himself, paratyphoid fever, dysentery, diarrhea, diphtheria. Steps to prevent such health checks of workers, destroy the organism carrying tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhoid and paratyphus.

 
Microbial contamination in food that is cooked and preserved
Microbial contamination can be caused by storage temperatures that do not comply, security failed to prevent contamination of the environment or processing less than perfect by the manufacturer.
1. Hydrated food, usually free of disease contracted through the liquid. If there could be worse packaging of moisture that allows mold growth.
2. Foods that are smoked, salted or preservedUsually only the surface is contaminated. The process can be affected by the less well viridescen Lactobacillus and L. Leuconostoc species, can cause the green color of the meat. Pork can be overgrown Streptococus faecium.
3. Canned foodContaminated canned foods may produce gas in the cans due to microbial metabolism and cans will look puffy. Micro-organisms can grow in canned without cause gas is usually a heat-resistant organisms: Bacillus thermoacidurans (damaging tomato cans so the taste, odor, color, and texture is so damaged) and clostridium botulinum. Prevention: good warm and strong seal.
4. Chilled and frozen foodsChilled and frozen foods can be contaminated if proper temperature settings are not retained.
5. Freeze dried foodLow moisture content reduces the growth of bacteria and other micro-organisms. But these foods can be contaminated mainly by bacteria that can survive in spore form. These bacteria can survive on the surface of the food. If this type of drying were repeated so easy even iron due to the emergence of the inner cavity may be filled with bacteria in the surface. Then re-drying (rehydration) should be quick and very low (below 40 ° F) or very high (above 140 ° F)
6. Fermented foodsPH levels of salt content in the fermented foods prevents the growth of micro-organisms, but if not careful fungus can grow.
Contamination Worms
Ribbon worms and worm milling often contaminate food. Tapeworms can be eradicated by the cooking of food. Heat-resistant Trichinella roundworm, Trichinella is transmitted by pigs fed garbage. Because of that pork should be cooked to 137 ° F or cooled 5 ° F for 30 days.
Effective control is to supervise the meat in the process of cutting and processing.

As quoted from the pages of the Times of India, iced tea contains high concentrations of oxalate, one of the key chemicals that trigger the formation of kidney stones. "For those who have a tendency to kidney stones pain, iced tea drinks obviously be the worst," said Dr. John Milner, an assistant professor of the Department of Urology, incorporated in the study.
Milner said, hot tea is actually also keeps the same bad effects. Only the dose of the presentation of hot tea usually smaller. Logically, people drink hot tea would not be as much iced tea. Rarely people who eat hot tea when thirsty. In contrast to ice tea, where many people could drink more than a glass when thirsty and hot air.
Men, women posmenopause with low estrogen levels, and women who had undergone surgical removal of the ovaries are exposed to the most vulnerable to adverse impacts of iced tea. Therefore, Milner suggests, replace the consumption of the drink with water, or mix it with lemon. "Lemon is rich in citrates, which can inhibit the growth of kidney stones," Milner said.
Kidney stones are small crystals that form from minerals and salts that are commonly found in urine, kidney or urinary tract. Unused mineral that generally get out of the body with urine, but in certain conditions can precipitate and petrified in the urinary tract.
Researchers also uncovered a number of other foods that could potentially save a bad effect. They call include: spinach, chocolate, nuts, salt, and meat.
Instead, the consumption of iced tea and foods that are moderate for the health of kidneys. Combine well with foods high in calcium can reduce oxalate. And, of course, multiply drinking water.

Breastfeeding Is Not Always the Best




Mother's Milk turned tida always the best for your baby, be careful nursing, especially when you're not healthy condition.

A number of drugs can go freely from the plasma into the breast milk, so it will harm the baby drank.

Acebutolol a ß-adrenergic blocking agent with an indication for severe hypertension, moderate and mild, angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia and its active metabolite diacetolol can get into breast milk.

A study of seven mothers with hypertension who drink acebutolol
200. to 1200 mg per day showed that the concentrations of acebutolol and diacetolol inside. tingngi milk more than the concentration in plasma, even up to 3 days after not taking the drug (European Journal of Clinical Phamacology 30 737, 1986).

One of the baby showed symptoms / 3 - blockade. (hypotension, bradycardia, transient tachypnoe). It is therefore not recommended for mothers who rninum acebutolol 400 mg per day, particularly with impaired renal function to breastfeed their babies.

Efficacy Apples


END-end we will find a lot of apples everywhere. Not only apples from Malang, but also will be found apple imports. Apparently, the fruit is more popular in the community is a lot of usefulness.
If the East (Eastern) as the durian fruit has a seed, then the Western society (Western) have apples. Westerners often use apples as a paradigm for an interesting fruit.
It is estimated that there are seven thousand kinds of apples growing in the world, but there are only a few kinds on the market in Indonesia, such as apples Village, Australian apples, apple Manalagi, American apple.
The shape, size, color, flavor and texture of each type of apples are diverse. But in terms of nutrition is not much different. The presence of potassium / high potassium and pectin in apples, making the fruit is very useful for preventing stroke and reducing sugar levels and blood cholesterol. One thing that is beneficial for patients with diabetes and coronary heart disease.
Taste
Apples are generally round, with hollows at the base of the bud. Apple flesh is white, crunchy and juicy with a sweet or sour. The flesh of this fruit is protected by a thin skin that is generally shiny. When the meat was cut off out its fragrant and fresh. But there are several varieties of apples, the smell of it was very sharp.
Flavor, aroma, and texture, is actually generated from approximately 230 chemical components. It also includes a variety of acids such as acetic acid, the format as well as 20 other types of acid. Additionally there is alcohol content ranges from 30-40 species, esters such as ethyl acetate approximately 100 species, such as formaldehyde and asetaldehid carbonyl, and much more.
Potassium and stroke
The content of nutrients that stand out on the apple is potassium, especially in red apples, as well as pectin and cellulose. Potassium is a mineral that works to increase the regularity of the heartbeat, activating muscle contractions, regulating the delivery of nutrients to the cells, control the fluid balance in the body's tissues and cells, and helps regulate blood pressure.
Research conducted by experts from the University of California at San Diego, United States, shows, one serving of fruits that contain lots of potassium a day, can reduce the risk of stroke (brain attack) up to 40%.
The research was applied to approximately 800 men and women aged 50 or over, namely the high risk age for the exposed brain attack. Apparently, high concentrations of potassium intake through diet can reduce blood pressure, thereby decreasing the chances of stroke.
Apples, especially the red, has a relatively high potassium content of potassium. Every 100 grams of red edible apples contained approximately 203 mg of potassium content.
It is still lower when compared to potassium is in bananas (435 mg), avocado (278 mg), duku (232 mg) and papaya (221 mg). But still higher than the potassium content in brown manila (181 mg), orange (162 mg), leatherback (130 mg), pineapple (125 mg) and wine (111 mg). Thus, apple fruit is considered one of the potential in lowering the risk of brain attack.
Dietary fiber
Apples contain fiber in large quantities. Cellulose is an insoluble fiber (in water) which is in apple skin. Meanwhile, the type of pectin is a soluble fiber that are often found on apple fruit flesh.
Insoluble fiber, particularly cellulose hemicellulose and lignin in addition to some, can speed the trip across the channel percerna leftovers. While soluble fibers can cause the opposite effect, slowing the 'traffic' leftovers.
Both forms of fiber is actually equally memunyai strength laxative. Both types of fiber can absorb water and makes stools larger. So, do not be surprised if people with constipation (difficult bowel movements), the consumption of whole apples with the skin is highly recommended aliases.
Controlling cholesterol
Soluble fiber, namely pectin and gums, forming a gel in the intestine. As a result, the time required to move the remaining food from the mouth of the anus so much longer. This makes the person will feel full longer. That is why, for those who are on a slimming program, apples can be used as penggati energy food, such as fatty or sweet cakes.
In addition, soluble fiber is able to bind various substances, including cholesterol, and reduce its absorption from the intestinal tract. The shape of this fiber can lower blood cholesterol levels.
The results show, pectin content of apples can reduce LDL cholesterol by 10%. LDL cholesterol is a cause of heart disease and stroke. In addition to lowering LDL, the apple does not reduce HDL cholesterol or good cholesterol. So the apples is expected to minimize the risk of heart disease by 20%.
Insoluble fiber also was able to slow the entry of glucose from the digestion of carbohydrates into the bloodstream. This is very useful for controlling diabetes.
Freshness of apples
To obtain maximum benefit from the apple then the dosage form must be considered. Fresh apples are generally better than processed into juice or syrup.
Research conducted by several experts pointed out, giving an apple with a variety of dosage forms in normal people, produces a different response to the concentration of blood sugar and insulin. While consumption of fresh apples intact only slightly raised serum insulin, compared to applesauce. The structure of the fiber in the apple pulp is damaged.
So, fresh apples, especially in patients with diabetes, more beneficial than the processed apples. High soluble fiber content and low energy, as well as a variety of sweet and sour taste makes apples suitable as a selection of snacks in addition to being a good dessert.
Crisp apple flavor can help remove the sticky material on the teeth, such as sugar, as well as stimulate salivation, so as to clean the teeth.
High content of flavonoids
There have been many studies reveal that the apples, like other fruits, are rich in fiber, phytochemicals, and flavonoids. However, according to the National Cancer Institute of the United States, most apples contain flavonoids compared with other fruits.
This substance, according to the report, can reduce the risk of a disease and lung cancer by 50 percent. In addition there is good news for men. Mayo Clinic research in the United States in 2001 proved that quacertin, a type of flavonoids contained in apples, helps prevent the growth of prostate cancer cells.

Prevent Alzheimers
A study conducted on mice at Cornell University found that the quercetin in apples protect brain cells from free radical damage types that can cause Alzheimers disease.
Eating apples can increase production of acetylcholine, a chemical that transmits messages between nerve cells, so that the content of apples is able to maintain the sharpness of brain as you age, increase memory, and potentially reduce the likelihood of getting Alzheimer's disease.
Lowers cholesterol
Research suggests that apples have high enough levels of quercetin. High levels of quercetin mentioned may increase antioxidant activity in blood. This can reduce levels of LDL cholesterol that can damage the blood stream.
Pectin in apples lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol. Two people who eat apples per day can lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.
Preventing lung cancer
According to a study of 10,000 people, those who ate the most apples had a 50 percent lower risk of lung cancer. Researchers believe this is due to the high levels of the flavonoids, quercetin and naringin in apples.
Preventing breast cancer
A Cornell University study found that rats who ate one apple per day reduced their risk of breast cancer by 17 percent. Rats fed three apples per day reduced their risk by 39 percent and those fed six apples per day reduced their risk by 44 percent.
Preventing colon cancer
One study found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 43 percent lower risk of colon cancer. Other studies have shown that the pectin in apples reduces the risk of colon cancer and helps maintain a healthy digestive system.
Preventing liver cancer
The study found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 57 percent lower risk of liver cancer.
Mengontol diabetes
Water-soluble fiber called pectin in apples can lower cholesterol levels. Pectin can bind bile acids and brought out through the feces. Pectin in apples are also useful in controlling blood sugar.
Lose weight

Preventing heart disease
University of California Davis Medical Center, based on his research results have, antioxidants in apple juice is able to overcome the disease bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein / LDL) and protects the health of body heart disease. Publication of research in Finland (1996) showed that people ate flavonoid-rich have a lower incidence of heart disease.
Reduce interference when menopause
According to the study of U.S. Apple Association in 1992, it was reported that apples contain boron which helps the body maintain a woman's estrogen levels at menopause. Maintaining estrogen means to reduce interference caused by hormonal imbalance dikala menopause such as hot flashes, pain, depression, heart disease, osteoporosis.

Therefore, every surgery vaginoplsti should wherever possible to improve the three main functions of the vagina that has been mentioned above.
Abnormalities of the vagina may be a congenital or acquired abnormalities. Type of congenital abnormality that is widely available is not the formation of the vagina (agenesis), a delimiter (septa) in the burrow pubic or vaginal opening is too small. While acquired abnormalities occur because of trauma, infection, radiation and chemicals that damage tissue.
As a result of various circumstances above, women who experience vaginal kelaihan will not be able to complain menstrual bleeding, difficulty having sex, urine or feces out of the vagina, the vagina is too wide, it is difficult to have children and other complaints.
To overcome this disorder, an obstetrician will perform a series of checks that can be proved, whether there are abnormalities. If there is abnormality, it will be operative action to correct these abnormalities.
But sometimes Vaginoplasti misused to alter male gender to be female. Although it is not possible to alter a genuine man to be a woman because women are not as easy as the organ in it imitated. Vaginoplasti also used for urine inkonstinensia therapy in women, namely the difficulty to hold pee so that the muscles are tightened her vagina and bladder can hold.


Risk of Injury and Pain
A growing trend in America is vaginoplasti for cosmetic purposes and sexual satisfaction. But this is still a controversy among plastic surgeons and gynecologists. For cosmetic or aesthetic purposes, vaginoplasti change the shape of the vulva (the external female genitalia), labia minora, labia majora and mons pubis. Indeed there were no women are created equal, so does the form of the female organs every woman will be very different. Often women with large labia minora are too uncomfortable with the shape or because it is easily irritated when wearing tight clothing or during sex. With Vaginoplasti, it can discard the excess labia had it so that its size in balance.
Dr. David Matlock of Beverly Hills claims that are made to vaginoplasti inkonstinensia urine therapy can improve sexual satisfaction, tighten the vagina. In fact he clearly promote vaginoplasti to enhance sexual satisfaction. It is still a controversy, such as the disputed dr.Linda Brubaker, of Rush Medical College in Chicago, there is no medical proof of this. Some other experts also warn of risk such as wound and pain during intercourse.
Regardless of the controversy, many women who are interested in doing vaginoplasti, whether for reasons of aesthetics and form of sexual gratification.
