your child often scratching your head or pulled her hair? Do not be used because it could be a sign of communion child’s hair. Check your child’s hair for lice thoroughly new look if her hair up in a review.

Although the child’s hair with diligent  shampoo but it’s no guarantee the child will not catch lice. Lice contagious and spread rapidly from person to person especially in a group such as schools, child care centers, sports activities and camps.

There was one child alliance, will be easy on other kids, especially when they do close contact such as playing together.

Fleas are not only spread through contact of the head to head but also from the alternate clothing, bedding, combs, brushes, and hats.

Children are most vulnerable to alliance because it tends to have close physical contact with each other and often share personal items.

The main symptom of head lice in the scalp itch is often caused by the flea bite. These bites can cause infection that looks red, crusty or can also cause swollen lymph nodes in the neck when it is severe. In addition to these symptoms these children also have a brownish red marks around his scalp.

Head lice are very small about the size of sesame seeds. Although not able to fly, lice can crawl very fast so difficult to catch. Another sign that indicated the discovery Nits are yellowish white and firmly attached to the hair shaft.

As quoted from Pediatrics, to destroy main treatment is to use anti-lice shampoo and patiently and diligently removing lice eggs is using a lice comb. We recommend that parents follow the rules of use of each product used. If in the long term not go away there is the possibility of lice have developed resistance or re-infected children.

To prevent the spread of lice parents should remind their children to take action such as:
1. Avoid contact between the head of the school, a playground or during sports with other children.
2. Tell children not to share combs, brushes, hats, scarves, bandannas, ribbons, hair clips, hair ties, towels, helmets or anything other personal care to others.
3. Tell the kids not to lie on mattresses, pillows, and carpets that have recently been used by people who alliance.

There are some things parents should know eradicate head lice in children, namely:

1. Nits hatch in 7-10 days and develop into adults in the next 7-10 days until the lice eggs can produce as many as 100 eggs. It is therefore important to eradicate the lice eggs thoroughly so that the treatment worked.

2. Sometimes often get the wrong diagnosis. Some children were found to have something similar to the lice eggs, but empty. Should see a doctor to be diagnosed correctly.

3. Recently approved medications by using ulesfia (Benzyl alcohol lotion 5 percent) for children over age 6 months. Because the anti-lice shampoo most of the pesticides, while ulesfia is water-soluble gel that can kill lice

expert nutrition claims as a super food antioxidants or Superfood can fight almost any disease, especially cancer. But be careful, an overdose of antioxidants consumed instead trigger a pro-oxidant compounds.

Antioxidants are compounds that can prevent or inhibit the oxidation processes that are harmful to the body because the cells triggers free radicals. Cells of free radicals and is uncontrolled causing specific diseases, usually cancer.

Because it can prevent and fight disease, antioxidants are claimed to extend life. Not only that, antioxidants are believed to increase sexual performance and many other benefits.

But now researchers from Kansas State University, United States proved that antioxidants in high doses could be a boomerang for the body.

Antioxidants only works when there is a pro-oxidant compounds (trigger the oxidation process) in the body. When the dose of antioxidants and pro-oxidant imbalance or high antioxidant levels of pro-oxidants while low, the body will form a pro-oxidant compounds to balance with antioxidant levels, and this will make cells free radicals are not beyond repair.

“Many people believe that by eating lots of antioxidants, the benefits to the body also will be many more. But it was wrong, very high doses of antioxidants to produce the opposite function, namely causing weakened muscles, shortness of breath, the oxygen in the blood flow blocked even accelerated aging, “said the researcher, as reported by Steven Copp Dailymail, Saturday (30/1/2010).

It should be noticed for more consumption of broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, blueberries, soy and other foods that do not berantioksidan excessive.

There are 100 trillion bacterial cells in your body and this number more than 10 times the number of human cells. Bacteria circulating throughout the body starting from the abdomen, genitals, skin and ears.

Good bacteria can improve the health or vice versa if a problem from outside the body of good bacteria will just disappear and turn into pain.

Like the good bacteria that live in the intestines useful to prevent obesity, diabetes, asthma, allergies and throat cancer. However, outside influences such as the use of antibiotics, foods that contain bad fats sometimes destabilizing in intestinal bacteria.

Radical theory Martin Blaser, chairman of the department of medicine at New York University Medical School and former president of Infectious Disease Society of America pointed to the causes of obesity likely culprit is bacteria.

In this case the excessive use of antibiotics can make the children become fat because it kills the healthy bacteria in the intestines, the bacteria is needed to make more efficient digestion.

“I do not think the cause is a high-calorie foods or lack of physical activity. But from healthy microbes in the gut that disappeared,” Blaser said, as quoted by Forbes, Friday (22/1/2010).

The theory expressed by Blaster may not sound crazy. In the last few years is a lot of scientific research showing that bacteria in the body have a profound impact on the health of these people.

There are 7 ways good bacteria in the gut that help protect the human body, namely:

1. Keep from being overweight.
Based on the research of Ruth Ley of Cornell, who have excess weight will have a different mix of bacteria in the gut. Good bacteria to help digest the complex carbohydrates to whole grains, namely Bacteroidetes bacteria. While people who are overweight will have more Firmicutes bacteria that produce a lot of calories from food.

2. Prevent diabetes.
According to a study conducted by Alexander Chervonosky from the University of Chicago and published in Nature through genetic engineering in mice, obtained good bacteria can prevent diabetes. But it is unclear what the role of bacteria.

3. Helping the medicine to work well.
In 2008 the researchers from Imperial College, London found that individuals who have certain bacteria in the intestines help mmetabolisme acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) more slowly. This can make a person more effective in taking the drug and prevent side effects.

4. Prevent infection.
Layer of bacteria that appears to protect someone from something bad. In clinical trials showed that male circumcision in high-risk in Africa can reduce the risk of contracting HIV. Researchers from Arizona TGEN get mixed bacterial changes in the penis.

5. As a healer in the skin.
Researchers from UC-Davis in Nature Medicine last November reported certain bacteria that live on the skin surface can produce chemicals that can prevent the skin become inflamed due to small cuts or bruises. If the skin swells like a case of eczema, researchers speculate that because the system is damaged.

6. Prevent throat cancer.
Bacterium Helicobacter pylori is the major cause of stomach ulcers, so doctors generally treat with antibiotics, but H. pylori may still have a positive impact. According to data from epidemiological and laboratory, these bacteria can fight some forms of throat cancer. In addition researchers from New York University found a mixture of different bacteria at a pre-cancerous condition in the esophagus.

7. Protect yourself from allergies.
Based on research conducted by a microbiological Gary Huffnagle of the University of Michigan reveals the theory that the immune system using bacteria in the intestine to help eliminate toxins. When the system is not functioning properly, it can cause allergies.
