Don't Misinterpret Symptoms of Liver Fatty as Stomach Disorders

When the stomach feels pain or nausea, stomach disorders are often considered to be the cause. Though there are various other disorders that can cause it, including fatty liver or fatty liver.

As the second largest organ in the body, the liver functions to process whatever is consumed and filter everything that can harm the body. The formation of fatty liver (steatosis) can interfere with this function. Fatty liver occurs when the liver is covered with fat more than 5% of the total weight of the liver.

Recognizing the Difference in Fatty Liver with Gastric Disorders

Fatty liver can be divided into several types, namely fatty liver in consuming alcohol (alcoholic fatty liver), non-alcoholic (nonalcoholic fatty liver / NAFL), and that occurs during pregnancy. All types of fatty liver are characterized by a number of symptoms, except for non-alcoholic fatty liver.

When fatty liver has been running for some time, it is possible for the sufferer to experience pain in the upper right abdomen, fatigue, and weight loss. There are also other symptoms such as nausea, confusion, or difficulty concentrating. The skin of the neck or armpit looks black.

At first glance, the symptoms of fatty liver are similar to gastric gastric disorders. The symptoms of gastritis are similar to fatty liver, which is nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. However, the pain of gastritis is usually felt in the upper abdomen. If it is severe, this pain is usually also accompanied by vomiting of blood or red stools.

In addition to gastric gastric disorders, gastric and intestinal infections or gastroenteritis also have symptoms similar to fatty liver, namely nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss. It's just that this disease is generally accompanied by fever, headaches, or muscle aches.

Conduct an examination to the doctor

To ensure the condition of the liver, the doctor will perform a physical examination, especially the abdomen. The liver organ will feel slightly enlarged when touched. Examination can be continued with a blood test. Possible tests will show liver enzymes higher than normal limits if true fatty liver occurs.

If inadequate, patients will be asked to undergo an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI examination, to clarify how much fat is in the liver. Further examination can be done with a liver biopsy. A biopsy will confirm the condition of the fatty liver as well as its cause.

The appearance of fatty liver can be affected by several types of diseases. Some conditions or diseases that can increase the risk of fatty liver include high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypothyroidism, sleep disorders, and others.

How to Overcome Fatty Liver

The condition of fatty liver cannot be treated or performed surgery. Generally, doctors will provide recommendations to reduce risk factors by improving lifestyle. For example limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining stability of cholesterol and blood sugar levels and losing weight.

In addition, doctors will also advise patients to choose healthier foods to improve fatty liver conditions, for example by replacing red meat with chicken or fish, and eating more vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

The doctor may also recommend fatty liver patients to get hepatitis A and B vaccinations. This is needed to help protect the body from viruses that can worsen liver damage.

Apply a healthy lifestyle to prevent liver disorders. Then, don't mistake the symptoms of fatty liver as another condition. Immediately consult a doctor to ascertain the cause of the symptoms you are experiencing and the right way to deal with them.

Some of the benefits of reflexology that you can get, including:

Give a relaxation effect

Reflexology performed in the hands and feet can reduce anxiety, help overcome fatigue, and increase relaxation that can help you sleep better. Research shows that this effect is also felt by pregnant women. Reflexology for pregnant women can be seen as having a good impact on overcoming fatigue in pregnancy.

Overcoming headaches

If you experience headaches caused by stress or anxiety, you can do a reflection massage to reduce the headaches. Based on the study, as many as 23 percent of patients said they no longer felt headaches or migraines, and 11 percent of headache sufferers stopped taking drugs, when doing regular reflexology.

Helps recovery after stroke

Stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted due to various reasons that can cause many complications. Usually, this disease occurs due to a blocked or ruptured brain blood vessel. Many stroke patients do reflexology as a therapeutic companion for medical treatment. Pressure given at certain points in the hand or foot is believed to have a positive effect and increase the physical ability of stroke patients.

Overcoming constipation

If you experience constipation or constipation, you are advised to do a reflexology massage. Research states that alternative treatment methods with massage can help overcome constipation. This benefit is thought to be related to the relaxation effect obtained from reflexology.

Relieve symptoms of multiple sclerosis and cancer treatment

Reflexology is also believed to relieve pain in patients with multiple sclerosis and cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The benefits of reflexology look good to help overcome nausea and pain after chemotherapy. However, reflexology cannot replace the role of medical drugs given by doctors.

Although it has various benefits, reflexology cannot be done by everyone. Reflexology is not recommended for those who have circulatory problems in the legs, hand and foot injuries, experience centengan, calloused feet, diarrhea, have open wounds, fever, have a low platelet count, or suffer from thyroid disorders.

Before doing a reflection massage, you are advised to look for therapists who are experienced and have professional competence. If you are in doubt, consult your health condition with a doctor before doing a reflexology massage.

Quality backlinks are one-way links or one-way links that point to our site from quality sites too, the characteristics of quality sites are well-known sites with high page ranks usually with .org or .edu domains such as dmoz.org and so on. One link from a quality site is more meaningful in the eyes of search engines than dozens of links from fake sites. While free backlinks are links that we get for free, of course, but according to SEO experts blog, this type of backlink is more natural and preferred by search engines than the backlinks that we get by buying.

It is understandable that to get quality links from reputed sites is not an easy job, as easy as turning your hands, for that there is a powerful way to get lots of backlinks for free, namely by installing one link on the sponsor site that will be promoted by thousands of people, if you want to increase backlinks You just have to invite just two people to join the link, we call this stage level 1 and if these two people can also invite two other people (level 2) then the links that point to our site will be more and more, imagine if it reaches the level 20 then two million more one way backlinks will lead to our site. If you don't want to invite friends, your link will remain active and still stick to the sponsor site.

To get started, please register now, click the SIGN UP NOW FREE button, after that check your email because the login password will be sent through the email, follow the next instructions, the method is very easy and free of course, if successful, now you get thousands and even millions of one way quality links or free backlinks, good luck.

Ways and Tips to educate children in the family

Which parents do not want their children to be academically successful at school, we as parents will feel proud if our beloved child can be ranked first in his class, to the extent that we forget the limitations of children's abilities and force the child to study every day, press and even scolding if our children get bad grades, some parents do this because they are involved in competition between their parents and their success in educating their children to reach the first rank in school.
Continuing the previous article about newborn care, this time I will explore some tips for success in educating children in the family.

If we look at the reality that exists, not a few of the world's great people who actually have a record of mediocre academic achievement can even be said to be bad but they are successful in their fields, call it Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin or the owner of the world software giant Bill Gates, player world class golf Tiger Wood and many more. It turns out that academic achievement does not guarantee the success of a child in the future even though not infrequently academic achievement supports the child's career.

We all know that it is not IQ alone that can be used as a basis for supporting children's success but there are other intelligences that also have a great effect on a child's achievement, there is emotional intelligence (EQ: emotional quotient), social intelligence (social quotient) and more recently this is widely mentioned by people, namely spiritual quotient.

How to educate children in the family

Get to know your child's talents and interests
Give freedom for children to take part in extracurricular activities at school or at home, such as soccer, badminton, swimming, martial arts singing music, painting and so on. From this activity we can explore children's talents and interests.

Don't compare children
Each child has a different character, has advantages and disadvantages of each, there are children who are less in count but have advantages in language, we cannot compare with his brother who has good achievements in mathematics but is bad in art.

Teach children by example
We cannot force children to brush their teeth every bedtime if we ourselves as parents do not do that, invite children to pray five times a day by giving examples of praying, as well as honesty and good character.

Compact in educating children
If the mother tells her child to study, then the father does not allow his child to continue playing games. Mothers and mothers must have the same vision and mission in educating children.

Provide enough time with the child
Do not give time left for children, take the time to establish togetherness with children because it is the child's right to ask for time from their parents, do not allow children to choose another environment outside the family in expressing their luck because it is not impossible to get advice negative advice from the social environment.

Treat children positively
Never say anything negative to our child, for example: "Just like this stupid thing, you can't ...!" the words of parents are prayer, strive to respect children positively, praise and reward children if our children do good things because this will have a positive impact on the growth and development of children.

Children are gifts and deposits not a burden, treat children as individuals who have the same rights as other adults, do not force children to be something their parents want, do not pressure children to always get great academic value in mathematics when in fact our children have more skills in the arts of music and language. It is the obligation of parents to explore and optimize children's abilities according to their children's talents and interests.

Causes of yellow babies: Symptoms and treatment

Just sharing experiences about baby yellow. My second baby was born healthy but at the seventh day the baby was found to be yellow, after being checked through the laboratory the bilirubin level was 14.25 mg / dl whereas according to the doctor the normal limit was 0.10 mg / dl up to 12.00 mg / dl, doctors advised treated because if left unchecked will cause seizures in the baby or even cause death, but for some reason I finally decided to take care of my baby at home, after going through some final consideration with a heavy heart the doctor gave permission for outpatient treatment.

What exactly is the cause of a yellow baby, what are the symptoms and how are they treated?

In contrast to the symptoms of colic in infants, yellow babies or the medical term jaundice is a natural (physiological) symptom that can occur in infants aged two days to two weeks, according to the results of nearly sixty percent of babies born healthy experiencing these symptoms. Marked by a yellowish color on the baby's skin if pressed, the eyeball is also yellowish in color, or even on the palms and feet, the color of the baby's stool is pale. Jaundice in infants is caused by elevated bilirubin levels due to red blood cell breakdown, usually occurs in premature babies or babies born by caecar surgery because of the lack of breast milk in the mother.

Parents should be aware of symptoms in yellow babies even though they are actually not dangerous if they are within reasonable limits. If this lasts more than two weeks, you should immediately take it to the doctor to be treated seriously with the help of phototherapy because in addition to natural symptoms can be a (pathological) disease.

Some things that need to be considered if our baby shows yellow baby symptoms:

1. Give ASI as often as possible at least two hours so that the baby will often pee and defecate which can help reduce bilirubin levels. Wake up the baby if you fall asleep because babies who are less active and often fall asleep and do not fuss instead are signs that your baby has yellow.

2. Dry in the morning sun between 7.30 to 8.30 without clothes for approximately half to one hour. Avoid baby's eyes exposed to direct sunlight.

3. Check your baby regularly according to the doctor's examination schedule, this allows the doctor to immediately take medical action if the bilirubin level in the baby continues to increase.

Learning from the knowledge I obtained from various sources, finally my child can recover from the symptoms of a yellow baby and now grows into a healthy, cute baby. Another thing that needs special attention from us parents in understanding how to care for newborns is to complete a series of immunizations for our babies so that our babies are immune from various diseases.

SEO blog to increase Adsense revenue

Of course we have all heard of Google Adsense, the program offered by Google for blog or website owners. At first I thought it was so simple and so easy to get money from Google Adsense, we just had to make a blog and we put on the Adsense script and also the money would flow to our Adsense account and after reaching 100 dollars, Google would send us a check.
It turns out it's not as easy and simple as that, we also have to try to display our blog in the top 10 search result pages - Google so that it can bring visitors and click on our Adsense ads, so we don't want to learn and understand the ins and outs of search engines , science is commonly called Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Is it true that Social Networking is as popular as Facebook is not free anymore

Lately a lot of rumors have developed that Facebook will collect payments of $ 14.99 or around Rp.140 thousand to its users. He said this will be implemented starting in July 2010.

Is it true that Facebook isn't free anymore?
If we Flashback while still in high school, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was once offered to work by Giant Software Microsoft and AOL but Zuckerberg decided to go to Harvard. Then the King of Google Serach Engine was also rejected by Mark Zuckerberg.
From the fact that clearly shows that Zuckerber as a Top decision maker on Facebook is not a fool who will release 350 milliard more of his active users (like us) only to get $ 14.99 from each user every month. The assumption is that half of Facebook users who are now active will close their accounts if they have to pay around 140 thousand rupiah every month just to hang out on Facebook. It is not like that ? then...
Where does Facebook earn?
If we are more engrossed in pesbukan we often see ads appearing in the right hand column of our Facebook page. That's the main income of Facebook, not to mention from developer programs like applications that we use every day, Mavia War, Zinga Poker and hundreds of other applications. So actually it's a disadvantage for Facebook to have to collect payments from each user. Because if you have to pay the users will run away, if the users run away, the Advertiser (advertiser) runs away.

Now a lot of new Social Networking that actually pays the user for each who registers. like PeopleString who will pay $ 1.50 for each new registrar and even GeoString who dares to pay $ 10.00 for each new member. So instead of paying instead the user is paid.



What is the response of the Facebook official staff

Many groups on Facebook have an invitation to refuse to pay Charges to active members. But not a few groups deny it. Like one of them I quoted from the homepage:

Facebook will never charge to use their site, but if they do we're all GONE
This is simply not true, they have said so themselves, this is purely SPAM; They make millions through advertising. However, any site that has millions of active users clearly has a lot of attention from companies wanting to take over, so I'm creating this group for 2 reasons;

1. To advertise that FB really isn't going to charge
2. To send out a clear message to any potentially interested company that wants to buy out Facebook. If you try and charge our future to re-coup your losses, WE'RE ALL GONE !!!!

Let's try and get every active Facebook user to be a member, then it will be clear to any external company, we mean business

From its headquarters in Palo Alto California Firmly, Facebook denies the rumor through its spokesperson, which I quoted from www.telegraph.co.uk:


spokesman for the company said: "We have no plans to charge users for Facebook's basic services. Facebook is a free service for its 350 million users. "

It is clear that in fact it is all just a rumor and even if there are articles or posts like that it is clear that it is a SCAM, at least that is what they say.

So keep on Facebook, without having to fear receiving bills.
