Salt for feeding young how much is enough?

Parents do not need more salt or fish sauce on the food miles of the children, especially infants under one year by the amount of salt in enough natural food for your baby's needs.

Salt is chemically known as sodium chloride NaCl, when the body will be separated into sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). The calculation of salt daily needs of the body will be based on the needs of sodium. The role of Na and Cl are important. We keep the environment stable in the blood cells involved in the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane ...

In the absence of them, the body tired, maybe without severe coma (in the case diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, water intoxication). However, if excess salts, body fatigue, thirst, dry cells, the kidneys have to work to reduce salt waste. The long-term excess salt can lead to high blood pressure ...

Therefore, even though salt is important but not essential or redundant. Both cases are bad consequences for health. For example, the demand for Na recommended for children 6 to 12 months is 200 mg a day. The average diet of children this age is 600-800 ml of milk and 1-4 cups of flour (depending on age). In a quart of milk contains 240 mg sodium.

Plants and candles (candles):

Specialist ear - nose - throat told the magazine Shape , usually plant trees to absorb dust so when you put it in the bedroom, in the long run can cause rhinitis and pneumonia for human .

Approximately 70% of the water bowl in the production of mold spores and allergens impede sleep. Especially for patients with asthma or allergic rhinitis, it should not put more plants in the house.

You have a habit of using candles in the bedroom to create a relaxing atmosphere? The scientists said that it's really annoying at night and disrupt sleep.

In addition, page-for-profit private educational LEAD Action News warned, scented candles can produce aerosolised, causing toxic respiratory problems like asthma. In addition, when using candles, soot particles generated in the air when it comes to lung damage.

Artificial light:

The light generated from the laptop, TV, electric lighting, even bright spots emanating from any electrical equipment should also be removed from the bedroom space.

Studies show that light plays an important role in regulating human sleep cycle. The light effects on the body that inhibit the production of melatonin (the hormone plays an important role in regulating sleep), that you are always in a state of alertness and sleep difficulty.

Special note to the blue light (coming from the TV screen, laptop and some other electrical equipment. This type of color makes melatonin production becomes much more difficult.

Risk in the home from the volatiles

Earlier this year, Huong eager family moved to new home construction in District 7, HCMC. This is the result of her husband after nearly six months of construction. But excited about the initial decline partly because the new paint smell. Her family always feel claustrophobic discomfort during the first week.

Cleaning more harmful to health and / Watch out for the cleaners cause asthma in children

Quynh Huong and her two case studies involving a group of volatile organic compounds, commonly known with the name of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

We present in many products we use every day such as detergents, pesticides, cosmetics, air fresheners, building materials (paint, laminated wood, waterproof glue) ...

Not only are present in everyday products, but some habits such as cooking, cleaning, printing, tobacco, photo documentation ... can also generate VOCs. One point worth noting is that although these substances are quite common presence all around us, but not always be able to identify them. The reason, some of these VOCs have no odor and the smell is not the main factors reflect the degree of its impact on health and the environment.

Dr. Cu Thanh Son - Deputy Director Center for Devices and Analysis of Chemical Sciences of the Institute of Applied Materials Science, VOCs are a group of organic compounds volatile. The organic matter in this group can affect human health if regularly exposed to high concentrations, in a short time such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, nasal irritation.

More seriously, if regularly exposed to high concentrations of VOCs in the long run it will increase the chance of getting chronic diseases such as cancer, liver damage, kidney and central nervous system. It should be noted that indoor concentrations of VOCs are higher concentrations in the external environment is high (from 2 to 5 times).

Mr Son said, because the harmful effects of VOCs on human health and the environment, the developed countries like the U.S., and Europe has made strict regulations on the security level of this substance in the product group products.

In order to encourage manufacturers to make safe products, governments have implemented certification program label products have little or no VOCs easy for consumers to choose from. Want to import products into the country above must be tested by reputable assessment organization.

Do common VOCs exist in the environment can not completely eliminate them from your life. However, experts recommend reducing exposure to sources of VOCs produced, as well as perform some simple ways to limit their impact on health such as:

- Regularly cleaning the house, keep their homes clean and clear for increased air convection;

- Limit smoke and smell of cigarette smoke;

- To prioritize the use of products with little or no VOCs;

- Comply with manufacturer's instructions when using household products, building materials and promptly dispose of bottles of chemicals used.

The allergy or cancer can not

Allergy skin irritating, but it is good news, the scientists said. Bad itching can help prevent cancer.

The Danish scientists found that those who susceptible to conventional agents such as perfume, nickel ... 3, the risk of cancers less than.

This may be due to an allergic reaction contact (when the body mistakenly that it is under attack) also help the immune system fight off these threats.

They found that only 1 / 3 of them, about 6,000 people test positive for at least one cause of allergies. They then compared these results with data from the Danish Cancer Agency.

The team found that in the group who are allergic exposure, the incidence of breast cancer, skin cancer, pigmentation is not significantly lower in both sexes. Particularly in women, the incidence of brain cancer is also lower.

The previous study also found that those who are allergic to pollen and house dust may be resistant to these diseases.

This finding also supports "immune surveillance theory," in which people are allergic to a low risk of cancer, immune system activity so effective, the study authors said.

"There are probably several mechanisms of protection and therefore, the immune system seems able to resist many things, including cancer."

The survey also noted the group who are allergic to contact with the incidence of bladder cancer is higher, may be the result of the accumulation of metabolites in the blood, the authors argue.

However, the need for further research into account other factors such as social class, smoking.

The women prefer to disclose the conversation room for autism

The Cuban health authorities have introduced the first vaccine for the treatment of malignant lung cancer to all the hospitals in this country.

Pedro Pablo Guerra, researchers from the Center for Clinical Trials Partnership countries Cuba, confirmed vaccine called CIMAVAX EGF, is intended for people with malignant lung cancer stage 3 and 4 - News that patients no longer respond to conventional cancer therapy and pain medications have in place.

"Bringing these important drugs to patients who need them is one of the main objectives of the Community Health Cuba," he said.
