Deodorant is widely used to prevent body odor and excessive sweating in the armpit. But there are some people who worry about the use of deodorant can be toxic to the body. Is it safe to use deodorant every day?

The use of deodorant body generally as a defense that is not wet or underarm sweat avoid the unpleasant result of bacteria in the body. The function of this deodorant sweat channel to inhibit the amount of sweat produced less in the armpit area.

One of the materials contained in deodorants to prevent excessive sweating is aluminum. These materials can also be found in drinking water or cooking utensils.

In recent years, was widely heard that aluminum in deodorants may be absorbed by the body and contribute to the development of breast cancer in women.

Aluminum compounds such as aluminum zirconium and aluminum chloride does contain estrogen can encourage the growth of breast cancer tissue. There are fears this aluminum has the same effect when absorbed through the skin.

A study ever conducted in the year 2007 by analyzing breast tissue from 17 breast cancer patients by measuring the content alumuniumnya.

Found levels of aluminum in the outer area near the breast used deodorant is higher. But according to the American Cancer Society, so far researchers have not found a clear relationship between the aluminum from deodorants to breast cancer.

Meanwhile, aluminum is also known to have a potential contribution to Alzheimer’s disease. Although aluminum is often associated with problems in Alzheimer’s brain, but there is no scientific evidence that shows the relation to aluminum in deodorants.

As quoted from HowStuffWorks, Monday (1/11/2010), the dangers of aluminum is very real, especially in people who have problems with kidney function. So for people who have problems with the kidneys, should consult with your doctor before using deodorant.

Because in aluminum absorbed from the digestive track and can cause bone disease or dialysis dementia. Aluminum is absorbed by the body, half will be absorbed by the bone in 2 hours, while the remainder will be excreted (expelled). In people who have problems with kidneys, the excretion process will be disrupted.

Another common problem when using a deodorant body too often are not able to remove the waste through the sweat glands inhibited by a deodorant effect, so it makes the kidneys and liver work hard to remove toxins.

Although there is no scientific evidence that deodorants may cause breast cancer or Alzheimer’s disease but should use it to cermatlah sweat from the body is not hampered too much. And it could not hurt to use deodorant free of aluminum.

not a few people who drink liquid medicine such as cough or cold medicines using tablespoon or teaspoon. Use the spoon to eat it increases the risk of drug dosing errors.

“As you know many people who find alternative means to take medication, one with a spoon to eat. This practice is very risky increasing dose errors can be dangerous,” said Koert van Ittersum, assistant professor at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, as quoted from HealthDay, Thursday (7/1/2010).

Van Ittersum explained that it is equal to the size of the plates that affect how many people are eating. This means the device used can have an effect on the drug dose given.

The results of research conducted by van Ittersum and colleagues have been published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Watchdog Food and Drug Administration United States (FDA) has given a warning not to use a spoon to measure any liquid medicine.

In this study, researchers involved 195 students who visited health clinics around the university. Each student was asked to pour 5 ml of cough medicine with gauges, then students were asked to repeat by pouring medicine into a spoon.

Students are asked to menungkan drug into a teaspoon and spoon the larger the spoon to eat. In this case also seen the level of confidence of the students in the pouring drugs. Apparently found in varying doses of each person and also depends on the size of the spoon.

Obtained when using a teaspoon dose error of more than 8 per cent and if you use a bigger spoon like a tablespoon dose errors almost 12 percent.

Consumed liquid medicine such as cough or cold medicines with an incorrect dose can affect health. If excessive doses are used and in the long term is likely to provide real consequences as a side effect of the drug itself. Risks will be greater if it occurs again in children.

“Situations like this make the biggest enemy is ourselves. We recommend using gauges that were supposed to be used in order to measure accurately, and avoid over-dose,” says van Ittersum.

Got body fat (obesity) but was in good health. Better not fall asleep because according to health experts no fat people really healthy, especially in the long run.

Research by experts in Sweden is not to scare or get people desperately dieting. Message was maintaining an ideal weight is not too skinny or fat so that organs in the body does not work too hard.

It could be a fat person feels right now he’s fine, but actually it save problems later on, especially that associated with stroke or a heart.

The conclusion was based on a study that followed more than 1,800 Swedish men between the ages of 30 to 50 years by looking at medical records or death associated with stroke or a heart.

“There’s no fat or obese people who do not will experience health problems. Although it looks fine but later will have difficulty. No fat people who have a healthy metabolism,” said Dr Johan Arnlof from Uppsala University as quoted Health24

Arnlov and colleagues not only study the fat and obesity, but also people with metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is a condition someone who had three or more cardiovascular risk factors like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high fat, low HDL cholesterol and both have a large waist size (men were more than 40 inches (98 cm) and women more than 35 inches (85.75 cm)).

These studies argue that previous studies showed no increased cardiovascular risk in obese men who did not have metabolic syndrome, in other words there are groups of healthy obese people.

But according to the report, it was after 15 years of the study was over, the participants proved to impaired metabolism and cardiovascular health.

“The results were not surprising because it is all the more weight than normal body mass index would be problematic. So there is no reason to say the body fat but healthy,” said Dr Richard A Stein from New York University.

Women sometimes not having a sexual attraction even in an exciting atmosphere. There are new reasons that might answer the question why some women have low sexual desire.

Researchers say, women with low libido had feelings of guilt and shame when aroused. The feeling was that decreases sexual desire of women.

Unlike the men who usually stimulated physically and mentally at the same time, lower a woman’s brain in response to physical stimulation.

Researchers also noted that some women do not realize when he was aroused. Apparently the reason is the feeling of guilt and shame that entered her mind.

“Many women feel guilty and ashamed when aroused. Sexual stimulation they can be responded to by the physical and mental state was at the same time, while the man opposite. That is what causes men to have a higher libido than women,” said Meredith Chivers of the Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada

In their study, researchers analyzed 132 studies on the effects of sexual stimulation of physical and mental response 4000 and wantia man who had done during 40 years back. Participants were given stimulant erotic and sexual fantasies such as pictures or pornographic movie.

Several questions were asked after the participants rated these stimuli. A machine that measures blood flow was connected to the participant’s body to determine the physical and brain response during sexual stimulation.

The study, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior Journal shows that the brain and the body of man is always directly proportional to respond to sexual stimulation. While women tend to be inconsistent because of the brain and the physical does not provide a synchronous reaction time of stimulation.

“Although physically she felt aroused, but the feelings of shame and guilt more dominating and limiting their brains. As a result, the resulting response to stimuli that were to be no maximum, and finally did not provide sexual satisfaction for his partner,” says Chivers.

These facts indicate that psychologically women have problems in responding to sexual stimulation. Specific treatment to improve sexual response in the brain seems that women need a low libido.
