Danger of Too Tight Bra

Bra that has a wire underneath it to support breast appearance better. Breasts so go up and look fuller. However, it later emerged the notion that wired bras can cause breast cancer.
Horrendous news that emerged around 1995, the results of research Sidney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer in the United States, of 4700 women. In the book Dressed to Kill, the two scientists had stated, the use of a bra associated with the incidence of breast cancer.
Head of the epidemiology of reproductive and hormonal National Cancer Institute, Louise Brinton, stating that the opinion does not make sense. Over the past 30 years doing research in the field of cancer, he still found that the most common cancer associated with endogenous hormone levels.
"I have found no scientific studies about the connection wired or sleeping habits bra bra, with the incidence of breast cancer, so do not worry," said Dr. Adityawati Ganggaiswari, MBiomed, from the Cancer Foundation of Indonesia, when contacted GHS.
Too Binding
Although later many other experts declared the results of research that is not true, until now there are many women who are concerned about wearing wired bra. In addition to risks associated with breast cancer that has not been proven false, wired bra can also cause another complaint if the use does not fit in the body or too tight binding the chest.
Bra is too tight according to a study by the British School of Osteopathy can suppress the bone and muscle, making it difficult to breathe. Special bra for sports can also cause breathing difficulties if used excessively or when not on exercise. That's because the sports bras are specially designed bras tighter than usual, to support the breasts remain in place when processing the body.
Impaired bowel movements and constipation can also occur, if we are too tight to wear a bra so that pressing the ribs.
If the bra is too tight binding of the body, can also lead to skin wounded, mainly due to the hooks on the rope in the back.
For those with large breasts, use a tight bra can cause problems in the area of pectoral muscles in the chest. The user also can feel like a punctured or pinched in the area, and circulatory disorders can occur until the destruction of tissue in the breast.
Not a few women who deliberately wear a bra so tight, so that her breasts lifted and looked more toned and beautiful. This habit makes trapezius muscles connecting the neck and shoulders will be strong pressure, so that it can produce pain in the shoulder, neck, and back.
Studies conducted by Dr.. Edward Ryan, as noted in the Medical Journal of Australia found a link between back pain and the use of a bra that is too tight. In experiment two weeks, the women who complained of back pain is not advisable to wear a bra with it or replace it without a rope bra (strapless). As a result, 79 percent of patients felt the pain was gone.
Not only wired bra, for those flat-chested and happy to choose a bra cup containing thick foam to show the illusion of "big boobs" also must be careful. Thick foam that makes the breast skin can not breathe, so it is more easily irritated or have other disorders.
So, actually wired bra stay safe when fit and comfortable in the body. Do not be too mengetatkannya because the breast and the muscles in our body will actually tortured.

Research: Diligent's Twitter Same with Diligent Masturbation

Jakarta, masturbation habits can be seen from someone on social networking activities, especially Twitter. Surveys show, someone who diligently nge-tweet generally 2 times more hooked to vent his sexual desires with his own hands.

The survey was conducted on 21,315 users matchmaking site OK Cupid with an age range between 18-24 years. Researchers studied how often the respondents active in Twitter, then compare with the tendency to masturbate.

The result is quite surprising, a majority of respondents from groups who diligently nge-tweet every day confessed frequent masturbation. 2:1 ratio when compared with the tendency to masturbate in groups of respondents who only nge-tweet a few days.

A sexual psychology expert from the United States, Dr. Kat Van Kirk suspected cause is the ease of access to 'visual stimulation'. Twitter users are always connected to the internet, so the closer to the pictures or videos that can stimulate desire.

"Level of communication on the user's Twitter higher than others. If they had plenty of time to nge-tweet, they must also have time to masturbate," he said as quoted by MensHealth.com, Monday (04/25/2011).

Still, not all experts agree with the results of the survey. Reproductive health experts from Indiana University, Debby Herbenick, PhD assess such an informal survey was too weak to draw the conclusion that can be generally accepted.

Moreover, Twitter users tend to be more extroverted or open to expression. Without a valid method, the survey could be interpreted that the users of Twitter is just more honest to admit his habit to masturbate.

Heart Attacks More Often Happens After Warm Water Bath

Kyoto, in many cases, heart attacks occur after heavy activity such as sports or sex. However, based on research, heart attacks are more common after a hot shower, especially in cold weather.
Chika Nishiyama, researchers from Kyoto Prefectural University revealed that after observing some 11,000 cases of cardiac arrest in Osaka. The observation was done in 2005-2007, so the past few seasons.
At the heart attacks that occur after a warm bath, the rate of incidence 10 times higher during the winter compared to a warm seasons. It means a heart attack after a hot shower more often the case when the cold weather, when many people want to stay warm.
In addition to a warm bath, the other activities most people do before the heart attack is sleeping. Sports actually ranks third with only 0.5 percent, less than a shower or bath with warm water.
Read more, here are some activities undertaken ranking person before experiencing heart attacks according to the study, as quoted from Dailymail, Tuesday (26/04/2011).

Activity                       Percentage (%)
Sleep                               22
Warm water bath              9
Work                               3
Sports                            0.5
Other                            65.5

In addition to more incidence rates, are also more vulnerable to heart attacks occur after a warm bath than after exercise when viewed from the duration. With the same duration, 54 of the 10 million people suffered heart attacks after a warm bath, while only 10 out of 10 million people experience after exercising.
Although not yet determined the relationship and the mechanism, Nishiyama figured a hot shower in cold weather causes the blood pressure dropped dramatically. As a result a sudden decrease of cardiac function and has a disorder or a heart attack.
"It is better to do pendegahan to avoid soaking in warm water during cold weather, especially for those who do have a problem with the heart," he wrote in a report published in the journal Resuscitation.

Today Styrofoam Created More Environmentally Friendly

Jakarta, If during the use of Styrofoam is often avoided because it is considered environmentally unfriendly and it took 1000 years to terutai. But with new technology, can now be biodegradable styrofoam in just 4 years.
Oxodegradable Polystyrene is the first environmentally friendly food packaging in Indonesia, which has just introduced.
The use of polystyrene or better known as styrofoam, which has been used oxium updated with additional material that makes polystyrene will be oxodegradable and rapidly decomposed in less than 4 years.
In addition to certified green label, oxodegradable polystyrene is also shown to be safe as food packaging that meets the regulatory BPOM.
"Currently oxodegradable polystyrene boxes have been applied as an environmentally friendly food packaging on one fast food restaurant," said Lewis Tandio, CEO of PT Tirta Marta Indonesia, on Tuesday (26/04/2011).
According to him, it certainly shows the public awareness for environmental care is increasing.
"With the many innovations that we have, oxium as a pioneer of environmentally friendly technologies are proud to play an active role and contribute to the preservation of the environment as well as greening the earth," he continued.
Oxium is an additive that is added into the polystyrene so that it can accelerate the degradation process, which takes approximately 4 years to decompose polystyrene in nature.
With the addition oxium, polystyrene will be oxodegradable, namely degraded through oxidation mechanism that is triggered by the UV, heat, light, oxygen and mechanical stress.
"Previously we have applied the crackle bag or shopping bag in the mall, which can be broken down within 2 years. And now we adopt in styrofoam or polystyrene which can be broken down in 4 years," said Lewis.
Lewis explains, the process of degradation caused a decrease in tensile strength so that polystyrene becomes brittle (fragile), cracking (crack), fragmented into small sections until the powder or powder.
In the most recent phase of this degradation process will produce CO2, water and biomass which will return to nature.
"Polystyrene or Styrofoam is actually organic. It's made from oil that was originally derived from organic materials," explained Lewis.
According to him, the atoms polystyrene is also similar to rice or sugar, that is hydrocarbons. Only the eyes of the chain length so that microbes can not eat and take a long time to decompose and eventually be eaten by microbes.
"By using oxium, then we can shorten the chain and speed up the process of decomposition, making it much faster to be eaten by microbes," continued Lewis.
Launch of Styrofoam or polystyrene is also getting support from the Solid Waste Association of Indonesia (Indonesia Solid Waste Association or InSWA).
"With the oxodegradable polystyrene is expected not only to reduce the problem of plastic waste is not biodegradable, but more than that to be the first step for producers and communities to preserve the environment," said Ir Sri Bebassari, Msi, Chairman InSwa.
In addition to their support Solid Waste Association of Indonesia, ASEAN Polystyrene Association.
"We support 100 percent the use oxium so that our problem with plastic waste can be overcome," said Bonnie C. Blando, Chairman of the ASEAN Association of Polystyrene.

People Often Stuck on 'Healthy' Diet Food Label

South Carolina, people who are doing the diet would have chosen different types of foods that are otherwise healthy. But unfortunately many people are stuck with the diet foods labeled "healthy" this.
The new study shows that people who diet more easily fooled by the labels 'healthy' is misleading compared with people who are not obsessed with reducing the number of calories. For example, the diet believe that mozzarella and smoked meat will look healthy if it referred to as 'salad'.
"One of the reasons people eat too much food diet is healthy is the food label gives a better taste," said Dr. Irmak aglar from Darla Moore School of Business, University of South Carolina, as quoted from Latimes, Wednesday (27/4/2011 .)
Dr. Irmak said if someone feels the food is tasty then it will consume even more. This of course could be a boomerang and irony, as they try to be healthy, but instead of less healthy foods.
In addition, Dr. Irmak also have some other theories that explain why people who are dieting tend to get caught up in foods labeled "healthy" namely:

   1. People who diet thought to know more about nutrition than those who do not diet, so he will not spend much time to find out what content contained in these foods.
   2. People who diet tend to eat more in the first place (first place) and try to find excuses to spoil.
   3. Most people require a diet because it likes to eat or being overweight, so if there is a conflict in his mind to eat it will resolve it by choosing foods that are considered healthy.

"If they find an excuse to eat, so he can eat in greater numbers," he said.
Dr. Irmak said one way to prevent people who are on a diet so as not to get caught up in foods labeled "healthy" is to read the ingredients. For people who had long been on a diet try to pretend to be people who are just starting a diet, because these people will pay more attention to the material and content of a food.

For that couples should do 'foreplay' (heating) enough lubrication on the first night until that happens a lot and can prevent bleeding due to tearing of the hymen that does not cause pain or pain.
