Marine algae is a rich intake of Nutrition

Marine algae is one of the most useful plants that provided natural. This plant is able to support yourself and fast growth. As food and fertilizer, he has minerals that are very high.

Marine algae is similar to terrestrial plants. He does not reproduce through seed or flower, each cell capable of reproducing themselves rapidly. He can grow until it reaches 90 meters and a forest of seaweed can be found in shallow waters throughout the oceans of the world.

This algae not only contain high mineral, but also have traces of chemical elements including gold, silver, iron, vanadium, titanium, as well as silicon, tin, and boron.
Small amounts of this mineral is present in the human body, especially in the glandular system. Although modern knowledge with a clear understanding of their role, by providing additional nutrients that the body is the same for a good step, if we want a healthy function.

One of the minerals which are popularly used as a treatment of iodine, usually used to prevent the development of thyroid goiter. The content of iodine in marine algae can be directly used in the thyroid, without the need to process it first.

Concentrated high of nearly all the vitamins and minerals that humans need not only make the sea algae are in the top list of super foods, but also very valuable to the herbalist to prescribe it for conditions related to blood, breath, muscles, bones, joints, digestive, nervous system and skin. He also utilized as a general tonic and gland tissue to conditions that are not clear and settled that often respond to one or more traces of chemical elements that are generally not available in modern food.

We also get the benefits of vitamins in marine algae. Vitamin B-12 are contained in amounts proportional to the hearts of animals made of seaweed is important for vegetarians. Other vitamins include: vitamin C, in amounts proportional to oranges, vitamin E and K, and vitamin D in the form of vegetables.

Seaweed granules can be found in the grocery store and a small amount sprinkled on food (usually seafood), is a good way to use seaweed in the menu.

Marine algae also contain sugar in the form of vegetables that do not raise blood sugar levels. Therefore, marine algae is a good dietary supplement for diabetics. Various types of marine algae known to produce large amounts of sugar, with the ability to grow rapidly, up to 50 cm per day, he also proved to be a source of alcohol for fuel.

For those who like gardening, marine algae, one of the most complete fertilizer. He can be distributed and planted not too deep, soaked in fresh water and used as fertilizer, liquid, or mixed with compost in the form of ready to be absorbed by plants. Adding seaweed to the soil not only complement the long-lost minerals and trace elements of chemicals that are released for thousands of years, he also increased the microorganisms is important for healthy soil.

Northern European traditional culture of seaweed harvesting in early to mid summer and use them in a diverse and varied ways: as fuel, fertilizer, layer to the house, added to the fire that bloat fish and bacon, as well as in the form of ash is used to close the cheese matured algae . She also used for glass and soap industries beginning in the 1800s.

As a vegetable algae to none, only requires drying process first.
Algae only organic foods are left in these modern times. Why? He has cells that are resistant to everything that is not natural, and after drying, there are no pollutants of any kind.
Will result in better health if we use more of these plants are perfect. (Huges Luke / The Epoch Times / feb)

Lack of sleep linked to early death: study

LONDON (AFP) – People who get less than six hours sleep per night have an increased risk of dying prematurely, researchers said on Wednesday.

Those who slumbered for less than that amount of time were 12 percent more likely to die early, though researchers also found a link between sleeping more than nine hours and premature death.

"If you sleep little, you can develop diabetes, obesity, hypertension and high cholesterol," Francesco Cappuccio, who led research on the subject at Britain's University of Warwick, told AFP.

The study, conducted with the Federico II University in Naples, Italy, aggregated decade-long studies from around the world involving more than 1.3 million people and found "unequivocal evidence of the direct link" between lack of sleep and premature death.

"We think that the relation between little sleep and illness is due to a series of hormonal and metabolical mechanisms," Cappuccio said.

The findings of the study were published in the Sleep journal.

Cappuccio believes the duration of sleep is a public health issue and should be considered as a behavioural risk factor by doctors.

"Society pushes us to sleep less and less," Cappuccio said, adding that about 20 percent of the population in the United States and Britain sleeps less than five hours.

Sleeping less than six hours is "more common amongst full-time workers, suggesting that it may be due to societal pressures for longer working hours and more shift work"

The study also found a link between sleeping more than nine hours per night and premature death, but Cappuccio said oversleeping is more likely to be an effect of illness, rather than a cause.

"Doctors never ask how much one sleeps, but that could be an indicator that something is wrong," said Cappuccio, who heads the Sleep, Health and Society Programme at the University of Warwick.

Research showed no adverse effects for those sleeping between six and eight hours per day.

That's incredible act of a Small Boy

A child in China on January 27, 2006 received high awards from the government because otherwise have done "EXTRAORDINARY DEEDS." Among the nine people winning the award, she is the only child chosen from China's 1.4 billion population. What makes it remarkable fact is the considered attention and devotion to his father, always working hard and never give up, and the behavior and words that create a sense of sympathy.

Since he was 10 years old (year 2001) this child abandoned by his mother who had had enough of living with her husband who was very ill and poor.

Sometimes he tries to eat a kind of fungus or the grass, so he knows which ones are acceptable and which are not his tongue. Home from school, he worked cutting large stones. Wages as a mason used to buy rice and medicine for his father.

Every day he carried his father to the bathroom, wiped and also bathe her father. She buys rice and made to eat his porridge.
All affairs of other father who did she do it alone. Drug treatment is expensive and distant places to make Zhang Da thinking to find the best way to treat his father. He also learned about drugs through a book that he bought secondhand. He studied how a nurse gave the injection. When she felt able, he himself injected his father.

Here there are many officials, businessmen, there are also hundreds of millions of national television broadcasting audience, they can help you! "But what is shocking Zhang Da anyone, he simply said," I just want my Mommy back!. "

The difficulty of forging the child's life has become a formidable figure of a child and never give up. Zhang Da arguably rare because it is very different from modern children. Currently many children that everything was always facilitated by their parents. For reasons unfortunately, parents are always helping his son, even though the child is able to do so. There are children who are in elementary school are still fed, and to wear and still be assisted.

MORAL:
Child's potential is often forged difficulties arise precisely when, if the step children are always facilitated the creativity and the power struggle will not grow. Therefore, there is a proverb that says, "Make it easy DO NOT CHILD ALIVE TODAY, FOR LATER IN THE DAY trouble."

Children aged between two to five years who consume 100 percent juice from fruits obtained significant intake of vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. Their bodies also have fewer sugars or sweeteners.
As quoted from the pages of The Daily Telegraph, the researchers who ran a survey called the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for three years to compare these diets, also find a link between fruit juice and eating, and food from the grain.

Researchers from Louisiana State University Agricultural Center and Baylor College of Medicine, United States (U.S.) says, children aged between six and 12 years with such a diet also showed higher intake of essential nutrients, like fiber.

Instead, researchers found that on average children aged two to 18 years who were given drinks instead of fruit juice does not meet the recommended intake levels for a number of essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C and folate.

"One hundred percent fruit juice plays an important role in the diet of children and adolescents, an important nutrient supply during growth and development," said Dr. Carol O'Neil. The survey was conducted after another study found that drinking juice instead could create cavities and cause obesity. (Umi)

Rare Human Blood Save Millions of Lives Baby!

Infant deaths due to rhesus blood disease often occurs because of the difficulty to find rare blood donors. One who has a rare blood was James Harrison. The old man had saved millions of lives because the blood that special baby.

James Harrison 74-year-old Australian man, has become a blood donor for 56 years. Blood is relatively rare species have saved the lives of two million more babies. Because of his kindness, he was dubbed 'the golden-armed man' or 'man in the two million people'.

Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years, and now has 948 total blood donations.
He has assisted many mothers gave birth to healthy babies, including also a donor for her own baby, Tracey. Now the baby can grow healthy thanks to Tracey blood grandfather.

Harrison has the antibodies in the plasma, which stopped the infant mortality due to Rh disease, which is one cause of hemolytic disease in newborns and is a severe form of anemia. Blood has led to the development of vaccines, called Anti-D.

"I'll never stop. Never," said Harrison who promised himself to be the donor since the age of 14 years, after he underwent major chest surgery that requires 13 liters of blood, as quoted from Dailymail.

According to him, he should be in the hospital for three months while undergoing surgery. The blood he received saved his life, and since then he promised to give his blood when he was 18 years old.
Right after he started donating blood, he knew that his blood is kind of rare and rescue antibodies were found in it.

At that time, thousands of babies dying each year in Australia because of Rhesus disease. Another newborn baby suffered permanent brain damage due to these conditions.

This disease creates a mismatch between the blood of the mother and the unborn baby. This is because one of them has Rh-positive (has the D antigen) and the other Rh-negative (no antigen D).
After her blood type was found, Harrison offered to undergo a series of tests to help develop anti-D vaccine. Harrison has Rh-negative and he was given an injection of Rh-positive blood.

Harrison has given his blood on hundreds of thousands of women. He also gives his blood to the baby after they were born to stop the disease developing. Predictably, he has saved 2.2 million babies until recently.
Harrison's blood is considered so special. Her life had been insured for one million Australian dollars.

"I am not afraid. I'm happy to help. I have to sign any form of donation and basically signed my life," said Harrison.

London (ANTARA News / Reuters) - Police in Scotland in the 1930s believed the existence of the Loch Ness monster "needless" and even tried to protect him from poachers.

One letter released by the National Archives of Scotland Inverness County Police Chief William Fraser in August 1938 showed the police believe the only step they can do to protect "nessie" of the hunters is to tell people that the preservation of the monster was "very necessary".

Fraser added that a particular partner Peter Kent and Miss Marion Stirling of London determined to capture the monster and Kent has notified the local police he would have a special harpoon gun to hunt down these monsters.

They even claim made it into the boat, taking photos and a few specimens to prove their claims.
According to the researchers, they took a specimen of carbon age of 4800 years, fits with what is portrayed in history.
If their claims are true, scientists have discovered that Evangelicals most famous ship in history.

The discovery of this great so ammunition to push the Turkish government to register this site to UNESCO - the UN agencies involved in order to preserve the boat of Noah.
Initially, the plan to the archaeologists will dig up the boat and separates it from the mountain. However, it is not possible, despite the historical value of this discovery is very high.

Believed, when the water receded, Noah's boat was on Mt. Although the three major religions preach the miracle of Prophet Noah, there's no explanation at all, where exactly the boat completed the mission.
Since the old local resident who lived in the mountains of Turkey and other cities believe that the boat was Noah on Mount Ararat.
Moreover, Turkish fighter pilot in a mapping mission of NATO, said she saw a large object like a boat in Dogubayazit, Turkey.

'Robots' Nanoparticles Overcome Cancer, Scientists Succeeded in Developing a Supermini Robot that can Detect

VIVAnews - The development of technology in the racing world health. Now, scientists have successfully developed a robot that can detect cancer supermini early. In fact, this robot is capable of lethal potential of cancer in the bloodstream.

Myfoxla.com reported yesterday, the findings were initiated by a team of medical researchers and actors from Caltech, Tuesday, March 23, 2010.

Robot superkecil these nanoparticles can be reported into the patient's bloodstream. Robots that carry 'messages' point of potential therapies to eradicate cancer in the body.

Even a doctorate from UCLA called this is a very new technique. Doctoral UCLA also acknowledged that this method can be used in other medical teams.

Later, a drug used to 'ride' robot nanoparticles to the target. Because until now, he admits the target size is very small and even very hidden and very risky.

Previously, genetic engineering therapies to include tumor cell growth by inhibiting the production of cancer-causing proteins. The results of research potentially prevent and treat cancer.

This was conveyed by chief researcher, Gregory Adams, of Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.

Bad Effects Cell Phone For Children

The effects of radiation from mobile phones dangerous to health.

VIVAnews - Leaving children under the age of 12 years using the same mobile phone to let in the danger zone. Cell phone use in children may trigger serious health problems.

Professor Lawrie Challis, who recently completed a research program Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR) warns that children under the age of 12 years should not be given mobile phones.

The effects of radiation from mobile phones dangerous to health. The use of mobile phones while a teenager should also take better advantage of messaging facilities, rather than a direct conversation facilities.

Although there is no evidence that children are more sensitive to mobile phone radiation exposure than adults, but the extra protection against children in the age of growth can not be ignored.
"I think it makes sense, because their immune systems are still developing. We know that children are more sensitive to many things, such as exposure to ultraviolet. Children are exposed to excessive sunlight, are prone to skin cancer than adults under similar circumstances," he said.

He did not deny that parents give their children mobile phones to make it easier to control. But he added, is far more important to their health. The use of mobile phones for long periods can trigger or exacerbate the growth of cancer cells, interfering with ear health, skin and brain.

Conclusions are obtained after MTHR phone usage tracking study in children and adolescents for 30 years. The study was conducted on 250 000 Europeans, including the 100 000 British society.
Other studies have also been able to detect whether mobile phone use increases the likelihood of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, stroke, heart disease, and less serious conditions such as headaches and sleep disorders.
However, need not overly worried. Almost all mobile phone manufacturers in the world has completed its products with headsets to reduce radiation to the brain. "In an ideal world, mobile devices are being developed. By using the handset, we feel safe cell phone use on children," said Graham Philips, a cellular telephone industry watchdog.

Mobile Operators Association Executive Director, John Cooke, adding, "If parents worry, they can encourage their children to continue to receive short calls, sms, or using a hands-free device. It will be safer," he said. (Pet)

Crying Babies Really Affect Brain Health ?

The crying baby into the media throughout the world to communicate.

However, be aware of the crying baby that is too long. Conditions like this have a negative impact on brain development. Dr Penelope Leach argues, infants crying for too long without a response will be difficult to develop the ability to learn while growing up.

He stated, crying a long period of time can damage the brain. According to Dr Leach, continued to cry, causing increased production of 'stress hormone' that is cortisol. The longer the period of a baby crying, the more cortisol, which destroys the function of controlling the infant's brain.

"That does not mean that babies should not be crying, Crying is not good, but do not let the crying does not get a response," says author of 'Your Baby And Child: From Birth To Age Five' is.
Dr. Leah comment published in The Independent contrary to the opinions of experts and other studies. Specialist child and author of "Queen of Routine 'Gina Ford suggests, in order to let a newborn cry until 20 minutes. This is to form their sleep patterns.

Studies and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute of Australia split two 225 children aged six years as an infant. One group with a period of controlled crying and one group allowed to cry. Study concludes, both groups of babies who cry not affect the development of emotions and their behavior during childhood.

The same study found that 50 percent of parents who have problems with their child's sleep patterns experienced marital problems. Whatever the results of the study, should respond immediately when the baby cries. (Jon)

Tuberculosis Immune Drug

Jakarta, Kompas - the more severe tuberculosis prevention expense with the emergence of drug resistant cases of tuberculosis (TB-resistant multidrugs). The biggest immune cause of tuberculosis germs to anti tuberculosis drugs because the man-made factors.
Pulmonary specialists at the same time President General Hospital Center (Dr) Friendship, Priyanti Z Soepandi, said that the talk show themed "Prevent TB Drug Invulnerability", held Dr Friendship, Tuesday (20 / 4).
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease is transmitted by air through a spray of sputum of TB patients. Most of these bacteria attack the lungs, but can also be related to other organs.
In the world, most tuberculosis sufferers in India, China and Indonesia. In Indonesia, there are about 500,000 new cases of TB per year.
Priyanti said, TB is drug resistant TB is caused by TB germs are resistant to at least two anti-TB drugs, namely isonicotinylhydrazine (INH) and rifampicin together or with resistance to other first-line TB drugs, such as Ethambutol, streptomycin, and pirazinamide. Isoniazid and rifampicin are the backbone of TB treatment.
Based on the report of World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health which is spread on Tuberculosis Day, March 24, the estimated incidence of 2-3 per cent of drug resistant TB among new cases. Estimated number of drug resistant TB patients among the overall cases of TB in Indonesia in the year 2007 about 12,209 inhabitants. Approximate incident-multidrugs resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) reached 6395 cases per year. Until mid-March
2010 found 69 patients with drug resistant TB has been confirmed and partially treated.
Drug resistant TB is also the world's attention. In the year 2008, there are 440,000 reported cases of drug resistant TB which causes 150,000 deaths. Approximately 28 percent of drug resistant TB cases in Southeast Asia.
Human activities
According Priyanti, increased resistance to multiple TB germs to anti-TB drugs caused the greatest human activities alone. Natural resistance or mutation is very small. The cause of the occurrence of drug resistant TB from the health service, among others
improper treatment, improper dosages, drug supply uncertainty, and poor storage of drugs. The resistance to first-line drugs can also be caused by the patients themselves, such as disobedience to consume drugs, not taking the drugs as required, and end treatment.
He said the treatment of drug resistant TB is much more difficult, long, and expensive. Treatment takes at least two years and six months of taking injections in the buttocks left and right. Drug prices are also many times more expensive. Enforcement is also more difficult to diagnose. "Currently, the government was having a trial project management of drug resistant TB in the department of Friendship and dr Soetomo, Surabaya," he said.
Drug resistant TB is different from the usual TB treatment should only take six months and the price of cheaper drugs. TB drugs are available in government health services for free.
If not treated properly, patients can get into the condition of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis, or XDR, ie MDR-TB with resistance to second-line TB drugs, namely fluoroquinolon groups and at least one anti-TB second-line injections, such as kanamycin, amikacin, and capreomycin.
Another speaker, clinical pathology specialists, Endang Woro, say, the control and prevention of TB infection can be done by implementing clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Behaviors include getting used to wash hands before and after working on something. Other prevention by closing the mouth during coughing, phlegm not carelessly discard, and ventilation is good.

Research: Multivitamins Raise Cancer Risk

VIVAnews - Women who take multivitamins every day has the potential of breast cancer. According to a study conducted more than ten years to 35 thousand women by the research team Karolinska Institute, Sweden, published in the journal The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The discovery shook the Australian health industry continues to insist that a multivitamin consumers not to panic. In that study, the researchers found that those who regularly consumed a multivitamin pill increases the risk of tumor growth up to 19 percent.

Biologically, these opinions can be explained thus. Vitamin and mineral supplements significantly increase the density or the density of breast tissue which is a high risk factor for breast cancer triggers. Folic acid, which is often contained in multivitamins in solid form, is also able to enhance tumor growth.
The discovery of these Swedish researchers welcomed the Australian health experts with interest and alertness. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Australian women which is suffered by women. More than 12 thousand women in Australia diagnosed malignant tumor that killed more than 2,700 women each year. One in nine women in the "State Kangaroos' will be diagnosed with this deadly disease at the age of 85 years.

Snapdragon flower is known as one of the plants, which are rich in anthocyanins, substances that are also found in various types of dark berries such as blackberry, cranberry and chokeberry.

In recent research, tomato genetically engineered and tested in mice in the laboratory. The result, groups of mice with cancer who are given a purple tomato survived significantly longer than mice with the standard diet group, whether given or not given a regular tomato.

"The effect was larger than we expected," said lead researcher Cathie Martin, who also plant biologists.

Martin added, although fruits such as blackberries or blackcurrants nutritious prevent cancer, heart disease or neurological disorders, but not many people who eat them.

With that fact, the experts tried to create tomatoes that contain a lot of anthocyanins with the help of Snapdragon flower genes. In the process, experts said the red tomato that is usually changed to purple.

The experts also said the trial was against human tomatoes still can not be done in the near future. The next target is to examine how the content of antioxidants in purple tomatoes can actually affect the growth of tumor cells in order to improve the quality of healthcare.

9 Osteoporosis Risk group

Osteoporosis is a condition significantly reduced bone mass that leads to low bone density. Osteoporosis is a disease that comes secretly.
Anyone who is at risk at high risk for osteoporosis? Here are nine categories that include a higher risk of bone loss.

1. Patients Hyperparathyroid
Despite of the low percentage of occurrence, a parathyroid hormone which is located in front of our neck adjacent to the thyroid gland, may be susceptible to malignancy or tumor. In this situation, the amount of circulating hormones in the body will increase. Though, as we know, this hormone is closely related to osteoclast cells in the bone. As a result, the cells will have increased activity of osteoclast.
Will be more calcium compounds derived from the bone, causing a rapid increase in blood calcium levels. Such conditions cause patients decreased appetite, decline in muscle strength, abdominal pain, and bone loss when there is continued.

2. Hyperthyroid patients
Another name for hyperthyroidism is basedow. Symptoms of people with quite diverse, not at one another. However, it is generally characterized by easy sweating, weakness, nervousness, irritability, anxiety, agitation, unable to sleep, hungry and hold (oddly enough, even though it was eating, weight even decreased), constipation or even diarrhea, trembling hands, irregular menstrual , blood pressure rises, easy hair loss, and bone loss.
The cause of hyperthyroidism is excessive levels of the hormone thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. As a result, the exchange of substances in the body rise far above normal. Governing body's metabolism becomes less active, including the metabolism of calcium. In these conditions occur dumping massive calcium through urine or feces. To counterbalance this, there was a bone demineralization process is more active.

3. Patients with anorexia nervosa
Patients with anorexia nervosa (eating disorders) will conduct food consumption restrictions are not fair. They will be desperately trying to maintain weight and body shape, as well as strict control eating habits. Often they do excessive sports activities in an effort to achieve ideal body weight according to his imagination.
At first decline in body weight has done looks pretty realistic. However, after reaching the target, they set a lower ideal weight. Psychologically, they are very sensitive to criticism about weight. Diet is done as if a pattern of life. They actually have a normal hunger, but hunger is strictly controlled.
Fatty food barely touched, whereas the high energy content. Patients with anorexia are individuals who have a high awareness of nutritional aspects. Unfortunately distortion of knowledge of nutrition, so they are not able to practice the concepts of nutrition information it receives. That's why osteoporosis is easy to attack them.

4. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
During pregnancy, intestinal absorption of calcium in the mother will increase to meet the needs of calcium for the baby. When daily calcium intake low in women, forced to baby's needs will be met from reserves of calcium are calcium on bone his mother. The same thing can occur during breastfeeding. ASI is needed by infants to healthy living, and one important component in human milk is calcium. The average milk contains 300 mg of calcium per liter. Therefore, calcium intake should be increased during lactation. Consume the recommended amount during pregnancy and lactation respectively 1200 mg per day.
Teenagers who are growing (11-24 years) are encouraged to consume 1200 mg of calcium per day. Pregnancies that are too close distance will certainly accelerate the loss of bone calcium, especially for those who lack adequate daily intake. With pregnancy prescribed distance (eg 2-3 years), calcium status of mothers expected to be back to normal before the next pregnancy and lactation.

5. Eating Inappropriate
Eating should not be interpreted as a routine. From the health aspect, the wrong diet can be dangerous. A diet that is very supportive of osteoporosis is very low dietary calcium and vitamins A, D, and K. Adequacy of the vitamin should be met from natural sources, such as vegetables, dark green leafy vegetables.
High consumption of caffeine can lead to exile massive calcium in the urine. Avoid eating too much protein can also prevent osteoporosis. This is due to soluble proteins that the body, releasing the acid in the bloodstream. Acid will be neutralized by the body break down calcium from bone.
Dietary fiber is consumed to excess is also less good for the body. Dietary fiber will bind the majority of food compounds in the gut and also inhibit absorption. Compounds that most easily bind to dietary fiber are minerals, including calcium.

6. Corticosteroid Drug Users
Differences in medicines and poisons are very thin, which distinguishes only the doses used. Several types of medications can interfere with bone density. Patterns generated can be tangible interference in the absorption of calcium or disruption to the working mechanism of regulating hormones such as those found in the corticosteroid drug classes.
Corticosteroid drugs classified as special, many kinds of diseases can be cured. This medicine is used to treat asthma, Bronchial, food allergy, drug allergy, biduran, allergic rhinitis (nasal disorder), arthritis (joint disorders), and other diseases because of an allergic process. Unfortunately, when used in a long time would be bad for users.
Drug, the addition can cause peptic ulcers, can also disrupt blood sugar levels, deterioration of skin elasticity, cataracts, growth of additional hairs out of proportion, making it easier someone contracted the infection, swelling of the face and feet, hypertension, and fragility of bones (osteoporosis) .

7. Smoker
At least 25 types of diseases caused by smoking, including bladder cancer, lung cancer, a narrowing of blood vessels, which can cause heart disease and stroke, osteoporosis and disorders. Adverse effects on bone density is directly proportional to the usage and the number of cigarettes. Habit of smoking one cigarette a day in one month can lead to decreased bone mass at 0.004 percent.
Not yet known exactly how smoking can lead to osteoporosis. Presumably, the substances in cigarette sparked the hormone estrogen in women solving and testosterone in men excessively. As a result, the amount of hormones in the body decreases. By decreasing both types of hormone, bone maintenance will clearly be affected.

8. Excessive coffee drinkers
Many argue that the appeal of drinking coffee on the taste, sense of ritual, and the warmth it generated. However, actually the main attraction of coffee lies in the high caffeine content. As a refresher materials, caffeine can eliminate sleepiness, reaction is faster motion, increased alertness and concentration.
Unfortunately, these drinks also bring a bad impact on our health, will be an increase in cholesterol levels by 36 percent, decreased levels of vitamin B6 by 21 percent, and decreased bone density of 0.0023 percent. That would happen if someone drank three cups of coffee every day for two weeks.
Decrease in bone density is not clearly known, but scientists suspect the increase of calcium occurs through sewage disposal urine diuretic effects of caffeine.

9. Alcohol drinkers
By convincing a lot of alcohol can cause damage to organs. In the brain damage nerve cells so that the resulting interference function of thinking, feeling, and behavior. On the wall of the stomach occurred small wounds.
The threat that also shadowing is bone fragility. This condition can occur because of systematic failures in the maintenance of its mineral content of calcium which is an important element in bone density.
The presence of small wounds in the stomach will lead to chronic bleeding in the stomach. Despite the small form of the wound, because it lasts a long time, the amount of blood that comes out into lots.
We already know that the amount of calcium in the blood quite a lot. If a lot of blood from the body, will be much the amount of calcium that comes out of the body, thereby reducing or absorption of calcium from bone and indicates that the greater the bone more fragile by the loss of calcium.
