We often hear in the media advertisements that offer wild horse milk, but often ask how the heck it was, what could be the wild horse drawn milk? The answer, of course, horse milk can be squeezed as wild as any. It was also not inferior to milk from other animals.
Prof. DR. Made Astawan, food technology and nutrition experts from the IPB to mention, that the wild horse milk nutrient is not inferior to dairy cow nutrition. Popular in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, wild horses were also bred in Sukabumi, West Java. Even very popular in Southern France. Milk is also processed into cheese.
Protein content of milk Milk Quality Horse Approach
The content in milk protein content and higher-quality horses than cow's milk as an additional alternative to breast milk (breast milk) for infants in its infancy and for the intelligence of the brain.
"Unlike the mare's milk, cow's milk also contains proteins with high levels and it is not good for babies," said Ida Eva Roman, head of research student at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Padjadjaran (Padjadjaran University) in Bandung on the sidelines of the exhibition on the campus of Padjadjaran University Student Creativity Street Dipati Ukur Bandung.
Protein chains on Sumbawa horse milk is shorter compared to that of cow's milk so it is easy to digest baby. In general, the protein content in cow's milk as much as 17.35 percent and 17.52 percent on the mare's milk.
Rano Kurnia, members of the research group of students in the study entitled "Analysis of Protein Levels in Sumbawa horse milk as an alternative Milk Infant Formula" reveals how to manufacture powdered milk horse.
First, the test protein levels performed, followed by drying to be used as powder. The content of infant formula packaging on the market does not show a complete materials of manufacture.
"At least 150 ingredients, but may be a company secret," he said. Therefore, Rano and his team made a simple formula milk with a material that refers to a batch of milk packaging. The research team hopes the study that began in late April will be completed by mid June 2009.
Horse milk, Suitable For Babies
A high fat content makes horse milk was tasty and creamy. Yellowish-white color and are usually sold as fresh or processed. Wild horse milk contains proteins with low molecular weight so easily digested. Because of its nutritional composition is close to breast milk (milk), fits babies consumed.
Just like cow's milk, mare's milk is also a source of fat, vitamins, minerals. Short-chain fatty acids contained in horse milk are easily absorbed making body. According to FAO, in addition to its nutrient content is close to breast milk, milk suitable for infants because kaseinnya lower levels than cow's milk. Kandunga high casein according to Made, makes milk easier to agglomerate in the baby's stomach, making it more difficult to digest.
Although potentially contain Bacillus coagulans which causes the milk clots and Citrobacter freundii bacteria and yeast Saccharomyces sp, Aspergillus sp., And Mucor sp according to research conducted Sus Handayani of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta, real wild horse milk contains natural antibacterial components that make milk be durable.
However, if the external environment does not support such a dirty milking by hand, stored in a humid room, the milk still be easily damaged.
Anti-Bacteria and Less Risk of Stomach Pain
One hundred grams of mare's milk contains 44 kcal of energy are to be 100 grams of cow's milk mengandun 64 kcal and 70 kcal. Thus, energy is lower than the mare's milk to cow's milk. Moreover, according to research Yuniati Heru, the advantage is on the content of mare's milk that has antibacterial activity lisosimnya.
This enzyme functions in relation to lactoferrin and immunoglobulin A (IgA). Lysozyme is effective against Escherichia coli when working with Ig A which are also found in the milk so the risk of abdominal pain or diarrhea due to dairy consumption can be reduced.
Lysozyme is important for its role as an anti-inflammatory agent. Even granting lysozyme in newborns may reduce the indications of infection or salura gastriintestinal digestion.

Experts researchers at Colorado State University's Department of Health and Exercise found that foods containing sugar and high levels of carbo hydrates have considerable influence in causing acne.
It is scientifically proven that consuming too much sugar can increase insulin levels in the blood, where it triggers the production of androgen hormones which make skin oily. And high oil levels in the skin are the biggest triggers of acne.
d. Indigestion of foodDoes not irregular sewage can affect acne.
e. Allergies to foodThe nature of allergy to some substance protein, carbohydrate and fat can make acne worse.
f. MechanicalThe habit of holding or squeeze acne causes acne is more severe, because of injuries that occur allow the spread of infection and cause infection throughout the body.

New Cell Phone Application Helps Avoid Skin Cancer


Australians are enjoying the summer sunshine now, and know when to close the skin and avoid potential skin cancer caused by ultraviolet light.

Thank you for the new iPhone apps!

Australia is one country with the highest skin cancer rates in the world, with over 1850 people die from it each year, higher than the death rate due to road accidents, according to the Cancer Council of Australia.

Two out of three Australians didiaknosis skin cancer at the age of 70 years.

"What we found is that many people using the temperature and weather to predict when they need a protector (avoid) the sun, but it's ultraviolet (UV) problem - and you can not see it or feel it," said Sue Heward, manager of Sun Smart at the Cancer Council.

To overcome this, also to reach out to young people who tend to be less stringent in protection from the sun, the council developed a free application that provides daily weather forecasts, including the maximum UV level.

This application has the function alert (warning) and using the global positioning systems (GPS0 to automatically adjust to the user's location, indicating the time when sun protection is needed - as a warning (warning) Automatic UV - and UV level guidelines.

"The nice thing about these applications is a device in your pocket, you do not have to go to your computer or open the paper to check," Heward said, stressing that this makes it very useful especially for people who work outdoors for long periods and very risky.

SunSmart application is available free for download.

Council has also devised a web widget UV Alert is for organizations, such as sporting clubs, reported Reuters.

Know the 6 Kinds of Non Cancer Skin Disorders


Spots or abnormal growth of skin can appear on the surface of the skin, especially during old age, but most of it is harmless and does not require further treatment. The growth of non-cancerous skin including actinic keratoses, cherry angiomas, skin tags, age spots, moles, and warts.

Actinic keratoses are skin growths that have a rough surface and the skin can be red, or white. Actinic keratosis is also called solar keratosis because it is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. Actinic keratoses usually develop on the white-skinned people during middle age or old age. Usually, most often appear on the face, nose, ears, hands and upper chest.

But warts include the category of non-cancerous. This virus causes only the tough protein keratin in the epidermis (top layer of skin) that grows too fast.
Skin disorders differ with moles warts. If dark moles and warts is large enough such as skin color, while a prominent and likely to be small. Usually the hands and feet are most commonly encountered of warts.
Warts can spread to others in ways such as: scratching or biting warts that exist, thumb sucking, nail biting can cause warts to spread on the fingertips and around the nail and when shaving face or legs.
Warts are usually grown, rough, and dark. There are several types of warts, among others:
a. Common warts (verruca vulgaris) This type of wart has a rough surface and texture and form of the thickened bumps called papules or plaques. Can appear in any part of the body, but more often occur on the knuckles, fingers, elbows and knees. Most have small dark spots that originated from frozen blood vessels.
b. Verrucas (Plantar Warts) These types of warts usually appear on the soles of the feet, sometimes in the heel and toe. These types can be painful and usually grow into the skin because of pressure from the soles of the feet. His trademark is a black dot in the middle with the white area surrounding the hardened.
c. Plane warts (verruca Plana) This type of wart is round, flat, smooth and generally yellowish, brownish or skin color. More common in children and found on the hands, feet and face.

The term suggests an allergic reaction to a changing (allergic) to a certain substances (allergens) involving the body's immune system; only occur in certain people.
Skin irritation caused by a substance can happen to everyone, do not involve the immune system and there are some certain factors that play a role like the state of the skin surface, the length of the material in contact with the skin, the patient's age, presence of occlusion and the concentration of the material.
Sometimes a chemical material having both of these properties which can cause an allergic reaction and a response to irritation of the skin; for example: soap containing dyes or perfumes as an allergen if it is accompanied by repeated washing can cause skin irritation. To distinguish an allergic skin reaction and skin irritation patch test can be performed.
Allergies To Jewelry And Other Metals
In certain people skin disorders can occur after a certain wear jewelry such as earrings, necklaces, watches and so on. Possible causes are a lot of nickel contained in the metallic objects such as watches, jewelry, hair tongs, hair rollers, scissors, rings, currency, head belts, glass frames, eye and so on.
In the U.S. an estimated sensitivity to nickel covers ± 10% of the population and there is more in women than in men with a ratio of 2: 1. This is due to more women than men wear jewelry.
Sweat can be intensified by nickel dermatitis, the symptoms include itching and mencucuk can occur 15-20 minutes after contact with skin and skin symptoms may occur within one hour. If not sweat, the same patient can wear jewelry that contains nickel for several hours without any symptoms.
The diagnosis of nickel dermatitis by this very easily because it arises at the site of skin contact with metal. If the contact is removed the symptoms of the skin will heal within a few days. In addition to the diagnosis can be performed patch test. To detect whether a jewelry containing nickel can be tested with dimethyl-glioksim.
In addition, if a person is sensitive to nickel would still like to wear such jewelry, it is advisable to coat the jewelry with a neutral colored nail polish or spraying with materials containing corticosteroids and require patients to wear in the cool surroundings to avoid sweating.
Skin Reaction To Material Preservative
Skin reactions to preservatives contained in cosmetics and topical medications, can be either dermatitis (eczema) with signs of dry skin, scaly, red, wet or cracked berlepuh to-skin breakdown. The reaction can be mild or severe and is usually accompanied by a burning sensation and itching. The reaction may arise as Urtica or sometimes in the form of local swelling.
There is often a reaction to occur in the skin on the first use of topical drugs or cosmetics on the skin is injured or is experiencing irritation.
As for food preservative and medicine by mouth can cause skin reactions can be allergenic and cause sensitization. Some examples of preservatives in cosmetic or medicinal topical skin: metilparaben, propyl paraben, imidazolidinilurea, butyl-paraben, quaternium-15, formaldehyde, Katon-CG, sorbic acid, vitamin E and vitamin C.
The presence of preservatives in a wide range of products used everyday then it is certainly very difficult to avoid. One way to find the cause of skin disorders by the use of cosmetics or other skin medications is to experiment paste.
Skin Reactions To Soap And Detergent
Skin reaction to the use of soap and detergents on skin irritation may occur due to excessive consumption. The occurrence of skin irritation by the use of soap may be caused by the alkaline nature of soap along with the power to remove oil from the skin and irritation properties of fatty acids.
Skin disorders may also occur because of allergy to the ingredients contained in soaps such as fragrances, dyes, antimicrobial substances and so on.
Never reported the occurrence of depigmentation of skin by the use of soap containing phenol. Soap as the main irritants can be a factor that slows the healing of eczema on the hands. To avoid this irritation reactions, reduce the use of soap.
Reaction Against Skin Shoes
Akergi skin reactions to the shoe can be derived from the basic ingredients of animal skin that has been processed with certain materials such as paints, preservatives, antimicrobial agents and anti-fungal, chrome, rubber, adhesives, anti oksodan and other materials.
Skin reaction to the shoes most often occurs in those who sweat a lot and on the circumstances surrounding the hot and humid. Important note is that the shoes must be worn in a dry state.
Allergies to these shoes are often similar to the picture of eczema, fungal infections and skin disease called psoriasis. Appropriate treatment is obtained by knowing the cause of the skin patch test.
Skin Reaction To Clothing
Skin reactions to the clothes most often occurs in clothes made from basic materials easily stretchable. As the material cause of the presence of a rubber material in the fabric and chemicals lainnya'yang contained in the rubber, as well as synthetic fibers that are elastic. All these ingredients contain additional ingredients which are as a sensitizer and can cause allergic skin reactions.
Skin Reaction Against Cat Hair
Skin sensitivity to hair dye are mostly caused by chemicals paraphenilendiamin (PPD) of dyes in permanent hair dyes. If one becomes allergic to PPD, it is also sensitive to substances that are chemically the same time strengthens the bonds through a process of cross-sensitization.
So if allergies to PPD, it is also allergic to the dye made from aniline, Azo is widely used to give the dark color of the dress (black, blue, and gray cokklat). Can also occur sensitivity to pain-relieving drugs such as procaine, benzocaine.
Approximately one quarter of those who are sensitive to PPD also sensitive to procaine and benzocaine. So people who are sensitive to PPD do not forget to give your dentist taboos regarding the possibility of the use of anesthesia for tooth extraction. Instead of procaine and benzocaine can be used Xylocaine and mepivacaine.
Sunscreens containing PABS can also cross-react with PPD, people who are sensitive to PPD should use a PABA-free sunscreen.

Ten Good Food For Strong Bones

Calcium and Vitamin D
Foods that are good for bone health is basically composed of two things, namely calcium and vitamin D. Calcium is an essential mineral for the body to function properly, and calcium stored in bones. Vitamin D is needed by the body to absorb calcium. Not getting enough calcium in the diet can cause bones to become brittle, which makes you susceptible to fractures and bone-related diseases.
Here are some good foods to keep your bones healthy and strong:
1. Milk
Everyone would have understood that the milk is very good for the bones. One cup of milk has about 30 percent of the calcium you need each day. In addition, the milk sold in stores are usually fortified with vitamin D, so as to have two properties at once.

Yogurt is an ancient culinary products, has a long history began about 2,000 BC. Because the process of yogurt preparation, these foods also contain more calcium than milk.
In addition if you have problems with milk, for example, always diarrhea every time a drink of milk, can be replaced with yogurt. Incidence of diarrhea is caused due to lactoce intolerence. The cause is a deficiency / lack of digestive enzyme lactase. So every time a drink of milk, lactose granules will be left on the surface of the hole and the small intestine absorbs water from the surroundings which then led to diarrhea. In yogurt, milk lactose is broken down by "good" bacteria, Lactobacillus bulgaricus through the fermentation process, until absorbed.
8. Tuna Fish
Tuna is the other fatty fish are loaded with vitamin D. Fish is healthy also contain other nutrients beneficial in such high amounts of potassium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids. And because it comes canned, it's easy to find, easy on the wallet, and simple to add to your diet.

Got white skin is the desire of most women, so that not a few who always avoid the sun. Whereas dark-skinned woman sunbathing due to frequent more fortunate, because it has a greater chance of long-lived.
As you know, sunlight is the main source of energy to convert provitamin D contained in the skin tissues to vitamin D. In humans, nearly 90 percent of the formation of vitamin D was facilitated by the sun.
A professor of oncology at Lund University in Sweden, Hakan Olsson said the vitamin is not only good for bones but also can prevent many deadly diseases. Among blood clots in the legs or the so-called vein thromboses.
The disease is common in women and killed no fewer than 25,000 people each year. In a study by Prof. Olsson of 40,000 women, revealed that the vein thromboses appear more often in winter when the sun rarely appeared.
"Many believe frequent sunbathing could increase the risk of skin cancer. However, the increase was not greater than other benefits, so that in general women who frequently sunbathe have a chance to live longer," said Prof. Dailymail Olsson was quoted as saying on Sunday (5 / 12 / 2010).
Another benefit of the sun according to Prof. Olsson is to prevent diabetes. Still based on research he did, Prof. Olsson concluded the diagnosis of diabetes in women more frequently in winter than in summer.
However, other cancer experts to assess the results of research that has been presented in the Swedish Society of Medicine forum is too excessive. Ed Yong, a researcher from the Cancer Research UK warned that the threat of skin cancer should not be underestimated.
"Sunlight is good for humans and vitamin D are also good for bone health. However, no evidence was strong enough that the benefits of vitamin D could offset the risk of skin cancer. The most important thing is to prevent skin cancer, make sure the skin does not burn when the sun," said Yong .
7 Reasons Why It's Healthy Sunbathing
Bask proved very beneficial for health, with our body heat for 30 minutes every day then we will improve the condition of the body. It also helps detox, that is spending the body of toxins. In addition to the reduction of cholesterol the body, the sun can also reduce blood sugar levels. Sunlight also increases the blood capacity to carry oxygen. In addition to soaking the bone formation and repair are also helpful. There are many other benefits of sunlight for human health.
1. Sunlight lowers blood sugar
Sunlight is a kind of insulin that will provide ease the process of absorption of glucose into body cells. This will stimulate the body to convert blood sugar (glucose) to be stored sugar (glycogen), and stored in the liver and muscle, thereby lowering blood sugar.
2. As an antidote to infection and bacteria killer
Exposure to sunlight helps kill disease bacteria, viruses and fungi. It is useful for the treatment of tuberculosis, erysipelas, blood poisoning, peritonitis, pneumonia, mumps, asthma, respiratory tract. Some of the virus spreaders conquered cancer by ultraviolet (UV) is. Fungal infections, including candida, react to sunlight. Within 10 minutes of flying in the air of bacteria that can be disabled by the sun.
3. Of vitamin D
At the time filtered ultraviolet rays on the skin. He changed the deposits of cholesterol in the skin into vitamin D. Directing part of the body to sunlight for 5 minutes to give 400 units of vitamin D. Wow, if we try to count yourself sunbathing for 30 minutes.
4. Increasing respiratory fitness
Sunlight can increase the blood capacity to carry oxygen and distribute it to tissues. Another factor that could help improve respiratory fitness is that the increase in liver glycogen and muscle after soaking up the sun.
5. Reduce blood cholesterol levels
Because the process of conversion of cholesterol under the skin into vitamin D, causes the body to remove cholesterol in the blood to the skin, thus reducing the cholesterol in the blood.
6. Enhance immune system
Beam of sunlight on the body's white blood cell increase, especially lymphocytes, which are used to attack the disease. Antibodies (gamma globulins) increases. This influence lasted until 3 weeks. Nitrofil kills germs faster after breathing in the sunlight. Ten minutes under ultraviolet light once or twice per week can reduce 30-40% of the flu.
7. Sunlight helps in shaping and improving the bones
With increasing levels of vitamin D in the body because it is exposed to sunlight, can automatically help increase calcium absorption and is very helpful & repair of bone formation and prevent diseases such as rickets and osteomalacia (softening of bone is abnormal).

Know at a glance Human Papilloma Virus


Human Papilloma Virus is one rather than the various types of venereal disease among adults. He may be characterized by spots like warts on the genitals (which looks like the content of the grapes). Most HPV infections can heal itself, so people never knew. Only a small proportion of HPV infections that became chronic infection, then progress to cancer.
You never see the warts do not you? Rash on the skin swell up like a cauliflower shape? That's one of the "footprint" attack human papilloma virus (papilloma = pimples / warts). Human papilloma virus type more than 100 kinds, which were each given a number to distinguish one species with another species. 60 types of which cause skin warts are harmless. The rest is a mucosal HPV types, which only attacks the mucous membranes as found in the mouth, throat, tip of the penis, vagina, cervix, and rectum. Mucosal type is also called genital HPV, because the most frequently attacked are the genital area. There is cause warts in the vagina or penis, commonly called the disease "cock's comb", the HPV types 6 and 11, but this will not become cancerous.
Human papilloma virus infection is something that is very easy going. An estimated three-fourths of the number of people who never have sex, men and women, experience it. Not unlike the flu, most HPV infections can heal itself, so people never knew. Only a small proportion of HPV infections that became chronic infection, then progress to cancer.
French Kisses HPV Can Cause Mouth
This is a warning for those who like oral sex or a French kiss. Watch out, two behaviors can enhance infection of human papilloma virus (HPV) in the mouth. This is expressed by Dr. Maura Gillison in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Gillison and colleagues from The Ohio State University, Columbus, investigating oral HPV infection is associated with sexual behavior. Investigations carried out on 332 adults and 210 male age-level students. They saw 4.8 percent of adults and 2.9 percent of men aged mahasisma have oral HPV infection.
In adults, oral HPV infection was significantly increased among smokers and in individuals who reported having more than 10 sexual partners more than 25 oral or vaginal sex partners over their lifetime. The same risk factors experienced by men aged students.
Male students aged at least six couples oral sex couples kissing or French-style kiss. In their behavior is independently associated with the development of oral HPV infection.
Meanwhile, 28 percent of men aged students who reported never having oral sex, has 10 or at least five French kiss your partner, also has a risk of significantly higher for the occurrence of oral HPV infection.
"Our data suggest that oral HPV infection that can become cancerous tendency can be transmitted through behaviors such as french kiss," said Gillison, told Reuters Health.
It is also associated with gonorrheal pharyngitis, an infection that is transmitted sexually tonsil and the back of the throat, and associated with oral HPV infections that can trigger cancer of the mouth the next 10-20 years.
Cause Cervical Cancer
Which can cause cancer is genital HPV types 16, 18, 31, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, and 58. More than 70% of cervical cancers caused by HPV types 16 and 18. In addition to causing cervical cancer, HPV can also cause cancer of the anus, vagina, vulva, penis, and even esophageal cancer.
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that most Papuan region in Indonesia. In fact, Indonesia is the second country in the world after China which has the highest cervical cancer sufferers.
Though cancer is often called cervical cancer, including cancers that are easily detected early and can be prevented / treated before it develops further.

Not Causing Symptoms
The virus is transmitted primarily through sexual intercourse, including anal sex, oral sex, sex and hand. Most of them are infected by the age of 15-30 years, ie within four years after first sexual intercourse. People infected with genital HPV usually does not know he was infected, because these infections cause no symptoms at all (except that caused "chicken's comb"), and immediately attacks the immune system so that the virus is dead or weak, so it is not active.
Until now the human papilloma virus infection can not be cured, but a healthy immune system can cure 90% of them within 2 years. The rest remain active, or present but inactive. Viruses are inactivated can still be infectious to others, is active again at any time (if decreased immune system), or alter cervical cells become pre-cancerous cells, which many years later can become cancerous.

HPV Vaccination
The best way to prevent infection with human papilloma virus (also to prevent attacks of all sorts of other viruses) is by taking care of your body to stay healthy and fit with the pattern of a balanced life: preventing stress, avoid pollution, consumption of nutritious and balanced diet, adequate exercise, adequate rest . Classical huh? But that's the best.
HPV infection can also be prevented by vaccination, and its consequences (warts, precancerous lesions, as well as early-stage cancer) can be easily detected and treated. The vaccine is injected three times in the arm is able to protect us from the four types of HPV cause cancer and "cock's comb", namely types 6, 11, 16, and 18, for four years. Vaccination should be given to the girls who had never been sexual activity. People who have never committed sexual activity likely to have been infected with HPV. If not a virus that infects types 6, 11, 16, and 18, then the vaccination is still no good.
Although it has undergone vaccination, women who have committed sexual activity should conduct periodic routine pap smears. This examination is simple, inexpensive, and effective way to detect the presence of abnormal cells caused by HPV, such as pre-cancerous lesions and early-stage cancer. Cervical cancer is discovered at an early stage is more easily cured.
