Not only well-known in Asia, Japanese food was very in enjoy doing in Europe and America and into consumer sizable Japanese food. There is one thing to watch out for, especially when buying sushi, which contains the mercury when eating sushi.

Mercury is a common sight of marine animals such as fish, shrimp, crab or shellfish. Some parts of the ocean in Indonesia also contains a lot of waste, which are likely to cause pollution of mercury. This then causes the mercury content when eating sushi or other seafood that is consumed raw.

Not Necessarily Free Marine Fish Contaminants

Although much research done says that fish is one of the foods like proteins, thus providing a high nutrient to the body, but still must be underlined, choose fish with minimal contaminants. Unfortunately, almost all of the restaurants do not tell how the content of contaminants in fish dishes he made, especially the use of raw fish such as sushi.

In 2007, the Organization of the marine Washington DC, has been testing samples of sushi from 23 cities in the United States. From the research, it was found that three samples of whole tuna samples had mercury levels higher than the FDA set.

Not long after that, the New York Times also tells the same thing, that of approximately 20 restaurant in Manhattan sushi sample taken, it turns out 25% of sushi have high mercury levels. And, nearly half had mercury levels that almost reached the threshold.

Mercury Content vigilant When Eating Sushi For Pregnant Women

One of the people who should be aware of the content of this sushi is pregnant women, and also children. Consuming meat sushi is raw fish prone to wear causing an influx of mercury into the pregnant woman's body, which is harmful to the fetus.

Not just sushi, pregnant women should also not consume seafood with high levels of mercury which is feared as shellfish or tuna. If the mother wants to consume these foods, then cook it the right way, although it should also be avoided.

Smart People Problem

Smart People Problem
Before you begin, please note the smart people here means that smart is education, not the magic. Surely we all have a friend or colleague is not all that smart? and often, he's fronted the group you all. But do you know, every smart person is arguably had some sort of "disease"?

The disease in this case is not a disease like influenza, dengue fever etc, but more to that person mentally. A few days ago, I was browsing the Internet, ranging from news, game reviews, to open up until finally Wikipedia. On the Wiki itself, I see an article, Dunning-Kruger Effect. What is the Dunning-Kruger Effect (for this article abbreviated DK) this? DK is a psychological theory developed by David Dunning and Justin Kruger at Cornell University. In this article there are two principles but I am more inclined to explain one principle.

DK Effect is the conclusion which most people fail to realize the limits of their own expertise so that he feels that he is able, not its reality. Often this is what happened to some smart people, they felt that he was able to do some things but they forget the limits of their ability so that they tend to underestimate. Examples in real life like this:

The "A" is good at playing basketball. Could dunk, three-point shoot from the middle of the field, etc.. He considered all the same sports, essentially just the same print run scores. Once he tried to play football, let alone steal the ball, kicking the ball just out of the field often.

This is the case whether the life of the school, college and even work. Smart tend to forget boundaries and usually, things like this that eventually brings havoc to all the fellow or his friends. Why could this be? I think the way they think is causing it. They, talented, talents may be quickly absorbed form of science. They think everything can be learned if you want. But they forget, the learning that took your clever-clever, could not understand the language Mandarin in 1 week.

But they are not entirely to blame, sometimes this happens because of the encouragement from those of us own aka his friends. So smart, we often impose duties to them so they think, "all is not going smoothly if there is no me." It is certainly often the case in the world where the most clever lectures were always the most difficult to ration since the others do not want to and he himself could feel (in the sense of "to be learned was the time between 3 months").

To end this opinion, I want to Convey advices to the reader, especially the smart. You should be aware, science has its limits you and every person has their respective advantages. Take advantage of it for the people you help. Those who say less smart, not smart charged everything into this. You also have to come to help lighten the load and also to Realize the smart. Maybe you can not programming, but maybe you know who can and can persuade people programming this to help your team.

That's all from me, thank you.

Various risk factors can increase the chance you are infected with the virus known as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is. A person infected with the virus in the next few years may experience AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), to make the condition of the patient is getting weak and difficult to fight infections and complications of various diseases.

The number of risk factors may not be able to be avoided completely one by one, but at least we can strive to reduce that risk by performing self-protection in order not to be infected with the deadly virus. Here are some of the risk factors of HIV/AIDS is most common in the community:
  1. Sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal and oral) without a condom, with someone who is infected with HIV or those whose status is infected with HIV but do not you know.

Your Sleep Determining Your Life

Sleep

"Sleep...?
Who does not ever sleep?"

Rhetorical questions expressed by the author are nothing but a brief prologue of articles that will discuss the sundries that can be considered as the sleep quality sleep. According to western culture, people who like to sleep at judge with the term "lazy bone", that's been shouted by my English teacher when one of my friends who caught sleeping in class. Just look at the city of New York! Discipline Time is a top priority.

Precise Time Your Sleep?

Normally, the ideal bedtime vulnerable to the proportion of adults is 8 hours. But scientists at the University of California, shows the relationship between sleep duration and mortality rates are high. In his study has given result when sleeping for 8 hours in every day or almost every day, it can shorten life. Similarly, sleep 4 hours per day can also lead to the emergence of the disease and even hasten death. But those who sleep six hours a day, according to research may live longer. This means that every hour that humans use to sleep will have implications at the time of his death. However, only the god of death will determine, and death that had been destined by the Almighty.

Professor Jim Horne of the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Loughborough, said that  "those who argue long sleep, it's not true. We can confirm that sleep six or seven hours in one day is long enough. The lapse of time or hours of sleep needed by the body is if you are in a waking state and feel like to sleep in the daytime."

The scientists explain a very important role in the functioning of the mind active through research on cats. Function of the mind is active because it will sleep more have huge implications for humans who want to improve their learning and memory recall. Experiments on cats showed an increase in performance of his brain if he slept well, where they become stronger and more active and engaged. Tests conducted on the changes that occur in the cat brain. A cat eyes closed for six hours, and the other cats in the viewing conditions. The results showed that the cats mind sleeping (eyes closed) for six hours of brain activity changes drastically and more adaptable than in cats that have not been sleeping. Not that humans than cats, but cats position here as a sample that describes normal living creatures, including humans.

However it is much better sleep at night, and replace it in the daylight. It also confirms what has been discovered by researchers at present. A number of studies suggest that heart attacks generally come after the morning until the sun rises. We can underline that it is not advisable to sleep when when morning.

There are other studies that explain again that wake up in the middle of the night it is beneficial to health, especially for the heart. Long sleep will undermine and harm the heart. The heart is sometimes a lack of oxygen due to sleep too long, and therefore the scientists say: "Wake up at night, even just one time, it is beneficial for the heart as an adequate supply of oxygen and to avoid sudden death.

Napping, Sleeping Night, The More Urgent Which?

The researchers say that a short nap during the day is very useful, just like sleeping at night. They say, that from the perspective of improved attitudes and behavior, nap useful, same as night sleep, is associated with cognitive function. A team of researchers from the University of Lübeck, Germany, perform diagnostic tests on 52 volunteers. The volunteers were asked to sleep in a certain time period, regardless of time of day or night. And the result, their condition and no different .

When was The Lowest Percentage Brain Memory?

Harvard University scientists doing research related to the relationship between sleep and memory retention. They use the tools of functional MRI magnetic resonance scan, until they found the brain activity in a specific region. Activity then it moves to the second area and so forth that the brain performs information structuring, coordinating, and storing information so easily taken back after a person wakes up from sleep. However, subsequent studies showed that the focus is on a person's brain to a minimum when he had just woken up. It takes between 15-30 minutes to be able to restore the ability of the mind. Therefore, the researchers suggested that someone soon after waking do some light exercises to restore brain activity. If we examine the views of scientists today, they assert that the human memory is at the lowest position after just waking up from sleep.

So therefore, the researchers warn doctors night guard, also firefighters and workers who work at night requires important decision after getting up. Advised them not to take a decision or take any action until after a quarter of an hour after waking.

Blood Type O "Beware !! Do Origin Eating"

Blood Type

Dr. James D'Adamo and Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, author of "Eat Right For Your Type" never conducted a study on patients over the years. They concluded that each blood type has a different treatment, both in terms of diet, healthy, sport, etc.

Blood type O patients improve the situation have been given a high-protein foods and will be more refreshed and energetic after a fairly strenuous exercise, such as, running, martial arts, and jogging.

Those with blood type O have to be careful with dairy products, especially cow's milk contains a lot of fat, because blood type O is difficult to change fat into energy. Instead, they can consume soy milk. Blood type O can respond with a good oil and grease. Oils and fats are an important source of nutrients for the body and helps the process of defecation. Examples of oils that are consumed olive oil and flaxseed oil contain omega fatty acids of this type. These oils have a positive impact on the heart and blood vessels, and can help lower blood cholesterol.

Vegetables and legumes such as beans and peas should be avoided by those with blood type O because both contain lectins that are stored under the muscle tissue that makes it not so sour. If this lectins unused will cause the onset of pain is identical with rheumatism. Instead, try to obtain most of the protein from meat.

In addition to beans, other vegetables that cause major problems for those with blood type O is the cabbage. These vegetables inhibit thyroid function, which is weaker in their bodies with blood type O than those with other blood group. Green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin K, such as broccoli and asparagus is very good for those with blood type this.

Various types of fruit can be consumed by those with blood type O. Aside from being a source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, fruits can also be a substitute for bread. However, there are also pieces that should be avoided such as sweet oranges and tangerines because of the high acid content and will increase intestinal poisoning. Fruits can be presented in the form of juice. Those with blood type O have to be careful because drinking coffee can increase stomach acid levels.
