Prevention Of Gastroenteritis

Monday, February 27, 2012

Gastroenteritis can be prevented through immunization. U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved in 2006 rotavirus vaccine called RotaTeq can be given to infants aged 6 to 32 weeks to prevent infection with viral gastroenteritis. The vaccine may yet have the same side effects with mild flu symptoms.

Various types of vaccination available for Salmonella typhi and Vibrio cholera, and which can be given to people who intend to travel in the area at risk. However, the currently available vaccine is only effective on rotavirual gastroenteritis.
Doctors recommend that food should be cooked and stored properly to prevent gastroenteritis. Avoid suspect foods or beverages. Thoroughly wash hands before eating and after using the bathroom or changing diapers. Viral gastroenteritis is highly infectious disease and thus avoid crowded spaces such as markets, theaters or shopping centers can also help in preventing infections for those who have a weak resistance. Bleaching dirty laundry and household surfaces can help prevent the spread of bacteria.

Management
Gastroenteritis is usually self-limited and acute illnesses that do not require pharmacologic therapy. The goal of treatment is to replace lost fluids and electrolytes. Oral rehydration is the preferred method to replace the loss in children with mild to moderate dehydration. Metoclopramide and ondansetron, but can help the children.

Rehydration
The main treatment of gastroenteritis in children and adults is rehydration, ie, the addition of water and electrolytes lost in the feces. This is best achieved by giving the person oral rehydration therapy (ORT), although intravenous delivery may be needed if the level of impairment of consciousness or ileus is present. Complex-carbohydrate-based oral rehydration therapy such as those made from wheat or rice can be superior to a simple sugar-based ORS.
sweetened beverages like soft drinks and fruit juices are not recommended for gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age because it can make diarrhea worse. Plain water may be used if specific ORS is not available or not suitable.
  

Diet
It is recommended that breastfed babies continue to be treated on demand and that formula-fed infants should continue their usual formula immediately after rehydration with oral rehydration solution. Lactose free or lactose-reduced formulas usually are not necessary. The children received semisolid foods or solid foods should continue to receive their usual during episodes of diarrhea. Foods high in simple sugars should be avoided because the osmotic load might worsen diarrhea, so a large number of soft drinks, juices, and foods high in simple sugars should be avoided. The practice of withholding food is not recommended, and direct normal feeding is recommended. The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast and tea) are no longer recommended, because they contain enough nutrients and does not have the benefits of eating more than normal.

Red Chili Can Lose Weight

Friday, October 14, 2011

Eating chili shown to decrease appetite, making it very useful for those who want to lose weight. But recent research shows, the effect would be optimal if the chili is not too often be eaten.

Red chili pepper or cayenne pepper is a type whose size is greater than cayenne pepper, red and mentioned most widely consumed throughout the world. Other names are Guinea spice, Pepper Cow Horn, aleva or bird pepper.

Like other types of chili at large, red peppers also contain capsaicin which is a compound that gives spicy taste. Various studies have shown, capsaicin is good for dieting because it can suppress appetite and increase calorie burning.

Postpartum capsaicin on some scientific study participants showed a satisfactory effect. Likewise, when testing is done by the original chili, capcaisin as effective benefits administration in the form of extracts which included capsules.

More recently, research at Purdue University in Indiana reveal more effective ways to get the benefits of capsaicin in red pepper. This study involved 25 participants, consisted of 13 men and 12 chili fans who are not fond of spicy.

Researchers did not determine how much original red peppers (not extract capsaicin) that must be consumed, participants may take their own will. Fans of sauce on average take 1.8 grams while those not fond of spicy averaged only 0.3 grams.

In general, all participants who were asked to consume red peppers are equally benefited. The body becomes warm, decreased appetite, especially for salty and fatty foods, as well as burning calories more efficiently.

But seen from the amount of chili consumed, participants who are not fond of red chili sauce to consume less. This means that in smaller doses, capsaicin effects are even more optimal in people who are not accustomed to eating chili.

"There is a difference in response to changes in appetite is different between the two groups. This shows, the effect is greater in people who are not accustomed to eating chili," said Prof. Richard Mattes in the report that was published in the journal Physiology & Behavior, as quoted from Dailymail.

4 Types of Foods That Can Shrink Waist

Thursday, October 13, 2011

Experts found that there are some foods that need extra energy to be digested. That means burning calories does not occur until after the food in the stomach, but has been since we chew. In studies conducted in Japan, experts found that women who ate the food of this kind have a smaller waist size than those who eat food that's easy to chew.

The secret lies in the types of foods that are high in fiber and protein. In addition, there are several types of herbs and other substances that could actually help boost metabolism and the nervous system of up to 12 percent.

In his book, The Active Calorie Diet, Leslie Bonci, RD, a nutritionist from the UPMC Center for Sports Medicine, Pittsburgh, divide the food into several groups, namely:

Chewy foods (lean meats, nuts, fruits, and vegetables)
These foods will make the agency work right away once we get chewing. So that maximum effort can munch, select foods in the form intact. For example, tuna fish, roast meat, meat instead of canned tuna.

Hearty foods (fruits, vegetables, brown rice, wheat, and cereals)In addition to making us chew more often, these foods are also rich in fiber. So, once we get into the stomach will feel full longer.

Energizing foods (coffee, black or green tea, dark chocolate)
These foods can increase metabolism. Only, we should not mix it with milk, cream, or sugar. Green tea does not contain much caffeine, but in it there is catechins. This type of antioxidants can increase the metabolism to 4 percent. Meanwhile, dark chocolate contains catechins and caffeine. We only need about 28 grams a day. That was enough.

Warming foods (peppers, chili, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, vinegar, mustard, cloves)
The content of capsaicin in chili peppers can make the body burn energy more than twice as fast around a few hours after eating. According to a new study from UCLA.

5 Natural Ways to Cut Belly Fat

Friday, October 7, 2011

Stomach distended often associated with multiple health problems. If you shrink the stomach sink instant way far from the truth because it's too expensive, there is a natural way.

Many people want to have a slender body, but rather a poor diet for digestion. Not only do diets make the body less fiber (25-35 grams recommendations/day), but we also stress, sleep deprivation, and lack of exercise.

Consider the five natural ways to cut fat from the abdomen.

Chew your food

Maybe we remember the message the mother to chew food slowly, between 20-30 times before finally swallowed food. According to David Grotto, a registered dietitian and author of 101 Optimal Life Foods, the more you chew, the less likely you are to swallow the gas. With the slow chew, you will give your body a chance to recognize when the stomach is already full.

Consume good bacteria

If you want to have fluent digestion, eat yogurt, kefir, or consumption of probiotic supplement every day. Keep in mind, not all yogurts and probiotics are the same and not all contain the bacteria alive and active. So, look for a good probiotic product and make sure you eat regularly (the experts recommend five times per week).

Eat frequent small meals

If you eat too much at one time, you will overload the digestive tract to process it. Instead, eat small meals but often, for example 4-6 times to eat, rather than three large meals. This pattern ensures the stomach remains full throughout the day while helping the work of digestion.

Eating fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables such as onion, garlic, and asparagus contain something called prebiotic. Consumption of prebiotic and probiotic enough will greatly help your digestive tract. These foods allow the growth of good bacteria in the gut, which in turn suppress the bad bacteria that can wreak havoc on your stomach. Also, do not forget whole grains with the same benefits.

Actively engaged

There are many reasons for exercising more, but who knows if it can repair the digestive tract? Logically, if you're exercising to lose weight or simply maintain it, then most likely you will also maintain the quality of indigestion such as abdominal bloating and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
