Travelling to a different place is fun. But be careful, there are a number of countries that turned out to affect adversely the health of your waist. A
corporate travel agency in the UK, Fly Thomas Cook, last week released
results of a survey on the destinations that can make you fat.
»This
research was done because we want to know and explore the reasons for
increasing a person's weight after a vacation, especially when they are
on vacation to another country," said Bona Boraliu, representatives from
Fly Thomas Cook.
British respondents numbering 350 persons stated that the countries that make up their weight was Cyprus, Turkey, and Portugal. Amount of increase in weight between 1.3 kg-1, 5 kg after a vacation for 1.5 weeks. Vacation
to Australia can also significantly increase the weight enough so it
was ranked eighth as a tourist destination cause weight gain.
The reason is weight gain, including eating out, do not cook your own meals, consume more alcohol, and lack of exercise.
»In countries where you gain weight, the main factor is the good quality of food. It triggers you to try new foods because you know the deliciousness. The more you eat, but do not cook for themselves, "said Boraliu was quoted as saying in the Sydney Morning Herald.
»So
it's not only good quality foods that cause immediate, but there is
also an indirect cause of trying new foods and eat out more during the
holidays," he said. Other prominent factor is the high alcohol consumption.
On a cruise also cause weight gain. »All
types of holidays all-inclusive holidays, depending on the chosen
price, usually including hotel and breakfast and dinner buffets,
encouraging people to consume food indefinitely because they do not need
to add more costs."
The survey results also showed the most obvious differences between male and female tourists. Approximately
45.95 percent of all participants reported gaining weight, men 12
percent higher than the average increase of 2.53 kg or 75 percent more
than women.
Reasons for weight gain differences between men and women also occurs in Australia. During
this time Australia recognized the man with a bad reputation as
consuming alcohol, but found only 40 percent of those who say that
alcohol was a direct cause of their weight gain. On the other hand, 75 per cent of Australian women admitted drinking alcohol causes melarnya their waistlines.
The surprising finding is that most men reported being nervous only in shorts when they lose weight.
»Of
all the people who say that wearing revealing attire contributes to
their weight loss, it turns out they make a visit to Italy or the United
States," said Boraliu.
Here are the 10 countries that make you fat if on holiday there:
A. Cyprus (up 1.5 kg)
2. Turkey (up 1.4 kg)
3. Portugal (up 1.3 kg)
4. America (up 1.1 kg)
5. Greece (up 0.9 kg)
6. Netherlands (up 0.8 kg)
7. France (up 0.5 kg)
8. Australia (up 0.5 kg)
9. Italy (up 0.4 kg)
10. Belgium (up 0.3 kg)

9 Reasons to consume tomatoes
There are many reasons for you to stop by the local market and buy it. Here are nine reasons to love tomatoes:
1. Tomato enriched with vitamin C, a nutrient that keeps your immune system stay strong.
2. Tomatoes contain phytonutrients (nutrients derived from plants including fruit) called lycopene which has been shown in some studies to have anti-aging and anticancer properties. Lycopene is effective against prostate and colon cancer.
3. Lycopene contained in tomatoes also helps fight damage to genes that could potentially cause disease.
4. Tomatoes stimulate the formation of amino acids karnitina proven in research to accelerate the burning of fat in the body more than 30 percent.
5. Research shows that lycopene contained in tomatoes, if consumed regularly, can reduce the risk of heart attack by 29 percent.
6. Inadequate intake of lycopene in food consumed by postmenopausal women is associated with osteoporosis.
7. Fresh tomatoes and tomato extract proven in studies to lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides. Tomatoes are also shown to prevent blood clots (known as platelet aggregation), which is a risk factor for atherosclerosis
8. Tomatoes also contain other phytonutrients, including beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaksantin, which is good for the eyes and helps protect your eyes from degeneration.
9. Tomatoes are delicious and versatile. Tomatoes can be incorporated in pasta, salads, soups, curries, stews, and a variety of your favorite dishes.
Part of the said tomatoes should be eaten after cooking to get the maximum nutrition. That's not entirely true. Although lycopene is absorbed most of the tomatoes are cooked, vitamin C and other enzymes contained in the most plentiful tomatoes in tomatoes that are not cooked.
So, I suggest to combine the two. Enjoy tomatoes cooked in soups, stews, and curries. Eating raw tomatoes in salads, sandwiches, and salsa.
Research shows that lycopene contained in tomato yellow and orange are absorbed more leverage than the lycopene contained in tomato red. So do not forget to took time to eat both types of tomato.

Six Foods That Make You Happy
Index carbohydrates with low sugar
Carbohydrates are very important for the absorption of serotonin, a chemical in the brain that cause feelings of pleasure, calm and relaxed. Research has shown that carbohydrates with low sugar index and the slow release of energy such as whole wheat bread, cereal, oatmeal, rice and wheat are very useful because they not only stimulate serotonin, but also a feeling that often prevents changes to keep energy levels constant throughout the day.Turkey or chicken
Turkey and chicken along with other foods rich in protein such as fish, beans, nuts and all kinds of grain, contains tryptophan, which is an essential amino acid to produce a hormone associated with feelings of pleasure or serotonin.Fish oil
Low levels of omega three fatty acids in the body can trigger a decline in mood and increased vulnerability to depression, therefore multiply the consumption of fresh tuna (not canned), salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines, avocados, nuts, seeds and oils such as flax and linseed. These foods are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and by taking them on a regular basis will prove to increase our happiness significantly.Water
Dehydration can be a major cause of fatigue and tiredness is because we tend to irritability and mood for the worse. So make sure you drink at least two liters of water a day. If the water does not affect your fatigue, then try to make fresh fruit juice or add a little flavor in the form of fresh mint or lemon with a lot of ice.Fruit and vegetables
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies even in small quantities can significantly affect your feelings, it is not surprising in a survey of more than 200 people, more than 78 percent of people find that when they enter the fruit and vegetables into their diet, so their mood tended to improve.Whole wheat
Research shows that people who eat a high fiber intake, especially those containing whole grains such as wheat breads, cereals, wheat, barley, brown rice and oatmeal will reduce their bad feelings, reduce insomnia and reduce their levels of depression than people who eat foods low in fiber.Experts believe that the role of fiber is very important to keep the blood sugar to remain stable and energy levels remain high plus the addition of vitamins (especially vitamin B that is able to reduce stress).

Green Tea and Oral Health
Regular consumption of green tea? Good! Green tea is already proven to provide a myriad of benefits for the body.
One of the benefits of this tea is for oral dental health. Well, here are some benefits you can feel, which was launched by Bestdentistnews (7/8).
Reduce periodontal inflammation
A study by the American Academy of Periodontology in 2009 revealed that people drink at least one cup of green tea per day had a periodontal health (tissue supporting the teeth) are better than those who did not drink green tea.
Kill oral cancer cells
Polyphenols, antioxidants found in green tea, is believed to neutralize the risk of cancer caused by free radicals and can actually kill mouth cancer cells.
Inhibit the formation of dental plaque
Consuming this tea can prevent tooth decay. A new study shows drinking green tea or gargle use may inhibit the formation of dental plaque and prevent dental caries.
Preventing bad 'dragon'
A study from the University of Illinois found that components in green tea can inhibit the growth of oral bacteria and disrupt the production of hydrogen sulfide (the cause of bad breath). Thus, green tea helps maintain the freshness of the mouth.

Consumption of Salmon (Not Sure) Good for Pregnant Women
One study revealed that pregnant women who eat salmon to risk reduction antibodies contained in breast milk. The decline of these antibodies means increased risk of infant exposure to infection.The study, published in The Journal of Nutrition conducted on 123 pregnant women who rarely consume fish oil.The
respondents were asked to eat a normal menu or consume two servings of
salmon per week since the 20th week of pregnancy until delivery.Scientists
from the United Kingdom from the University of Reading and the
University of Southampton, found that pregnant women who consume salmon
ahead of the delivery process, will prove to have increased long-chain
omega3 fatty acids in breast milk than those in the first month after
birth.The researchers also found levels of secretory immunoglobulin-A is lower. Imunoglobin A is an important antibody that enhances immunity in infants against infection and help fight the newborns.These
scientists say that the main reason health experts strongly encourage
breastfeeding in the first month after birth the baby is, because breast
milk can enhance the immune system and help the newborn to avoid
infection.Of the research team noted, that some time in recent years, pregnant women are motivated to consume fish oil rich in omega3.This
is because some previous studies stated Omega3 fatty acids may increase
the nutrients essential for growth of the infant brain, eye, and
cardiac growth.However,
few pregnant women know that fish oil is consumed during the last week
of pregnancy, can affect omega-3 fatty acid content in milk, as reported
by the MedicalDaily."Pregnant
women in the United Kingdom, is currently recommended to consume one or
two servings of foods containing fish oil in one week. Goal is to
balance the need for Omega3. Meanwhile, many food sources of omega3 that
contain mercury," said the professor who led the research The faculty of Nutritional Physiology at the University of Reading, Parveen Yaqoob."From
this research, I believe that pregnant women can lead in consuming fish
oil, so they get the benefit of the nutrients that are very useful
during the initial growth of the baby," says Yaqoob.Yaqqob adds, breast milk contains an influence on immunity. "From
the research I did showed that the reduction of one type of antibody,
not necessarily affect the health of babies," she said.

Do not underestimate stomach acid, may trigger cancer !
Many people who see eye pain because of increased gastric acid. Although gastric acid the body needs but if the levels are high can cause ulcers.
According to doctors at the RSCM, Syam Ari Fachrial ignored if the stomach acid will eventually lead to cancer.
"If the bitter mouth, chest pain, discomfort around the pit of the stomach, the symptoms of stomach acid is high," said Ari at the RSCM, Jakarta, Monday (09/07/2012).
According to Ari, if this is allowed acid contained in the stomach to rise into the esophagus. Esophageal acid exposure can be injured and damaged.
"The cells in the body is always changing, if anything could be exposed to cancer, including esophageal acid exposure of the stomach," said Ari.
To that end, Ari said the importance of a healthy lifestyle. But if we have experienced a rise of stomach acid, your doctor should be addressed, and must take medication. In addition, we need to control your weight, and do not underestimate the symptoms.

Reduce Sugar Make 20 Years Younger
Reduce food and sweet drinks that completely takes you away from not only the risk of diabetes. However, reducing consumption of sugar or sweeteners can make you look 20 years younger.
For the first time conducted the study between the amount of sugar in the blood to stay young. Scientists from Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands and Unilever in the UK to measure blood sugar levels of 600 men and women aged 50-70 years.
Then, the researchers showed participants pictures of the 60 independent assessor and found that participants with higher blood sugar were older than those with blood sugar levels lower. In fact, the findings are written in the British Journal of Dermatology 1mm/liter find any increase in blood sugar, five months of age a person look older.
"We also look at other factors that trigger, such as whether the person is smoking. Effect is unclear. The higher the blood glucose, then the person is getting to look old," explains Dr. Davud Gunn, senior scientist at Unilever UK, was launched by Dailymail, Monday (9/4).
Dr. Gunn of adding that those who look old are the people with diabetes. "Dermatologists agree. Foods high in sugar is a disaster for the face. There is no point in spending lots of money on expensive skin creams if you still eat foods high in sugar," he added.
If you want to look younger, you are advised to reduce (if necessary) to avoid refined carbohydrate foods such as cakes, biscuits and white bread.
"Basically, the sugar attached to each protein in the body and produce harmful molecules called 'advanced glycation end products', which reduces the effectiveness of elastin and collagen (protein in the skin that helps maintain a youthful appearance)," added Dr Ross Perry, a physician Cosmedics cosmetic clinic in London.

Caution, Do not Eat Shellfish Most
Shellfish is one of the main sea food commodities that are familiar in the community. However, people who like sea food this one should be cautious, given the nature of the shells during his life, called for Oceanography LIPI, like a vacuum cleaner.
Oceanography LIPI said, unlike the active fish swimming, shellfish tend to be static. "The shells are like a vacuum cleaner. He will suck anything nearby, including heavy metals. In the body shell, the metal shells manipulated," said the head of Oceanography LIPI, Zainal Arifin.
Zainal added, "The shells do not have any effect, but not so with man. Accumulation of heavy metals will harm the health."
In addition, continued Zainal, shellfish also be bio-indicators for water quality. The number of shells indicate water quality is questionable. This is because the nutrients to live shells include abundant nitrogen and phosphate. Both substances are derived from household waste water.
Shellfish have been back living of the fishermen. Pollution causes the low catches and switch on the cultivation of shellfish. In 2003 there were 3410 bamboo cages (chart). The production capacity per day is 120 to 175 tons.

WWF: Singapore, Asia Pacific's largest Pollutants
Singapore is a country that has the highest per capita carbon footprint in Asia Pacific in 2010, according to the environmental conservation group WWF on Monday (5/3).
Furthermore, they say, Singapore's gross domestic product in 2010 reached $ 40 thousand per capita - among the highest in the Asia Pacific region - but a high income also triggers excessive consumption habits.
The corporate sector and the construction industry also contributed to the city as the largest carbon dioxide producer in the Asia Pacific region.
Detailed figures from various countries in the Asia Pacific region will appear in the WWF report, Asia Footprint Report, which came out in June. Even so, President Yolanda Kakabadse WWF reveals that Singapore occupies the number one on the list.
What is a carbon footprint? The carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases generated by human activities, usually calculated in a matter of tons of carbon dioxide.
"Every member of the community there, if associated with the size of their country, eating very much food and energy," he said.
"Singapore ... maybe is one example of our society need not emulate his lifestyle."
According to official statistics, Singapore 43.454 kilotons of carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels in 2010. But, according to Kakabadse, Singapore can eliminate excessive carbon footprint by sharing energy-saving technologies that they have on the world.
"Singapore has a tremendous ability to help in the field of technology. Technology for energy efficient technologies for water management, the technology for anything, even for food production that is more environmentally friendly," says Kakabadse.
WWF spokesman Chris Chaplin told AFP that the business sector and industry are responsible for the high carbon footprint.
"The building sector in Singapore accounted for 15 per cent for the country's carbon footprint ... If you look at the amount of construction in progress, very much," he said.
Singapore's Environment Agency said, Singapore is dependent to a fossil fuel because of the size of a very small country limit their ability to switch to alternative energy sources.
China, which is often accused of being a major pollutant in industrial activity, are in the average pollution Asia Pacific, and far below Singapore. But, according to WWF, this result is due to the huge Chinese population than their efforts to reduce the causes of pollution.

Smoking is danger for Fetal Health
Smoking affects the health of his wife and the fetus even though he did not direct smoke (passive smoking).
Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialists who is also Vice Dean of the Faculty of Medicine III Indonesia Muslim University (UMI) Makassar, Dr. AM SpOG said Nasrudin, active and passive smoking is a direct effect on the growth and development conditions
mother of the fetus, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy until the age of
quite a month.
"We know that the quality of air (oxygen) we breathe also be forwarded directly to the fetus through the placenta," he said on the campus of UMI II Jl Urip Sumohardjo, Makassar.
Among other conditions may occur as a result of cigarette smoke (toxic substances from smoking) is abortion, prematurity, fetal growth is retarded, birth defects, even the worst is the death of the fetus in the womb.
"I commend explicitly forbids the mother to the father for
smoking in the room, because in addition to an effect on the fetus, this condition is also dangerous for the mother and father himself, "he said.
If you can not stop smoking, make it a habit to smoke outdoors where there are no other people especially in public places, also avoid around pregnant women and children.
The impact of smoking to pregnancy among premature infants, infants born with too little weight, infants who die before they can be born, these are consequences that come with every cigarette you smoke when you're pregnant.
Studies show that cigarette smoke has more than 4,000 chemicals, including nicotine, carbon monoxide, cyanide, lead, and at least 60 cancer-causing compounds. And this goes into not only the circulating blood throughout the body, but also enter the circulation of oxygen and nutrients a baby in a pregnant woman.
