Why Pregnant Women Navel Looks Stand out?

Stomach of pregnant women who continue to grow along with the gestational age would make the navel that the stomach should be flat with even prominent. Although somewhat disturbing appearance, in fact this is normal in pregnancy.

Fetal growth, enlargement of uterine size and increasing the amount of amniotic fluid will cause the stomach enlarges rapidly during pregnancy. These pressures can make the skin tissue widened so that the navel look outstanding.

Health Risks Behind Nonsticky Pan

Research in the United States indicate a health threat behind the exposure to chemicals found around the kitchen. Exposure to similar chemicals that are often used in packaging food and non-stick pans cases allegedly related to the acceleration of menopause in women.

Research shows that women whose bodies were contaminated with chemicals or perfluorocarbon PFC high levels experienced more rapid change than women who PFCnya lower levels.

PFC is more commonly found around the house. These substances can enter the body through the dust, steam or through food. Other studies have also been linking the PFC with thyroid cancer cases, immune system disorders and heart disease. Many researchers also believe that the PFC can also interfere with hormone production in the body.

PFC has a water-repellent properties and fat, so that the substance is often used in the manufacture of nonstick cooking equipment, food packaging and sprey antipanas antinoda for clothing and carpets.

Known companies such as 3M has discontinued the use of these substances in its products since 2002 for reasons of health risks. While Teflon cookware company, DuPont, also agreed to no longer use it even if done in stages until 2015.

Recent research experts at the University of West Virginia to link high levels of PFCs in the case of menopause among women. They analyze PFCs in blood samples from 26,000 women sekitat U.S..

Analysis shows, the highest PFC levels found in women over age 42 who have entered menopause. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism also showed that women at high PFC group also proved to have significantly lower estrogen levels.

"No doubt there is a relationship between exposure to PFC with the case of menopause," said Dr. Sarah Knox, one of the researchers.

However, she stressed that the research does not prove that high levels of PFC can really speed up menopause in women.

"Part of the explanation is a woman in her age group have higher PFC because they no longer release the PFC because it was not menstruating. However, clinically this is still confusing because it means that the increased exposure to PFCs is a natural effect of the menopause," he added.

Dr Stuart Harrad of indoor air pollution expert from Birmingham University, said most British people who are exposed to PFCs are not sick when they worked in offices with high levels of pollutants within safe limits.

While the UK Food Standards Agency said it will analyze this further research. So far, they have done research about potential contaminants from cooking utensils and kitchen perlenngkapan found that generally the levels are still low and within safe limits.

Sperm Can Be A Masks for Acne Problem

High nutrient content in semen and sperm to make its benefits is always interesting to study, one for beauty, such as treating acne and make young women. True?

The results Johnson and Everitt in his book Essential Reproduction (2000) revealed that semen contains a high nutrient content.

In a typical ejaculation (about one teaspoon) of semen already contains 150 mg of protein, 11 mg carbohydrates, 6 mg of fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 7 percent of U.S. RDA potassium, copper and zinc.

In addition, semen also contains sugars, proteins and amino acids, minerals, vitamins, hormones, lactic acid, urea, uric acid and nitrogen.

The high nutrient content makes a lot of semen and sperm used to treat various diseases, such as diabetes and depression. The use of sperm has also been applied to treat acne, although no studies that prove its effectiveness.

Vitamin C encourages the growth of protein chains in collagen, which is the main ingredient in all fibrous tissue. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant that can detoxify or get rid of toxins and impurities that exist on the surface of the skin.

The presence of vitamin C in semen is to ensure that the sperm are protected from free radicals and increases the lifespan of sperm cells.
