Of course that’s not enough. It is also necessary to move the body. The ideal course on foot in haste (Brisk walking) there watching for a spicy complaints arise. Complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath, and other discomfort should be the instructions to immediately stop any activity. Including if emerged when he was sitting. It could be that the form of a heart attack as well.

How To Prevent The Teeth Damage to the Child

December 19th, 2009 -- Posted in Dental Care | No Comments »

The maintenance of teeth as early as possible  must be done by parents. This is to prevent teeth damage that often happened to children. Introduced the dentist to kid since early could help overcame the problem that often emerged around teeth. And when the childrens teeth has been treated well, will make teeth be seen healthy and free the problem in the future.

Teeth damage happened resulting from the inexact maintenance. Teeth that were not cleaned, very old will be covered by the layer that was acknowledged as the plaque. This condition could be aggravated if the child often consumed food that contained sugar and flour. Because, the bacteria that was gotten to the plaque will react with sugar and flour, afterwards will produce acid that could damage the teeth protective coating, and the condition that continually will make teeth broken.

To prevent damage to teeth, the teeth must be treated as early as possible. Like that first teeth the child has grown, then we must immediately carry out the maintenance so that teeth could grow well and healthy. Along with this was matters that must be paid attention to so that teeth was avoided from damage:

Pay attention to the cleanliness of teeth and the mouth
The mouth was the place for first time the entry of food. So, if the cleanliness of teeth and the mouth were not maintained, then germs found it easy very much to grow. And germs that lived in the mouth will cause the illness. So the cleanliness of teeth and the mouth were absolute was guarded

  • For the baby, we could clean his teeth with used soft clean cloth, that was wetted warm water. Afterwards we wipe off all the teeth that have begun to emerge.
  • For the child in the first year, we began introduced them with the toothbrush. We can brushed teeth in 2X/day, in the morning and tonight. Choose the special toothbrush for children or also could use the soft toothbrush that could put on the finger. In this age the use of toothpaste was not yet like that recommended, because of the toothbrush friction has been enough to clean their teeth.
  • In the second years, we could have introduced the small with toothpaste for the child. This toothpaste could make their teeth cleaner.
  • We hope the children in the second years could brushed their teeth by using this special toothpaste. Give toothpaste of the corn seed to the hand the small, and ordered so that this paste is not swallowed, although this toothpaste was still safe when being swallowed, but when too many were swallowed will cause the surplus flour, namely the mineral that was contained in toothpaste. To safer him, we could choose toothpaste that did not contain flour to the child

Might not give medicine for the rinse the mouth, but also taught the children to always rinse their mouth with the pure water every time after eating

Avoided very sweet food
Not make accustomed gave very sweet food was the wise action that was carried out by us as parents. Because sweet food could make teeth became fast broken Indeed was not easy banned to not consume sweet food, like sugar, peppermints, chocolate, ice-cream, etc… That was most exact was to control their habit to consume food like that and immediately cleansed teeth of these leftovers. However, if they already liked sweet food, taught them to always gargle with the pure water every time consumed this sweet food, and asked them to reduce consumption of this sweet food.

Pay attention to nutrient intake
Nutrients intake that could help the growth of teeth to be also very useful, that is including being calsium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and protein. Calsium was one of the important minerals that was useful for the growth of teeth. The main source of calsium  is milk. Calsium in milk more easy was absorbed by the body when compared with the supplement.
However, when the children did not like milk, then the other source of calcium are green vegetables (like the spinach, broccoli), youghurt, teri fish, seafood, and cheese

When Introduce With Doctor?
As long as early as possible.  Until now, the dentist it was considered “frightening” for the children. Necessarily they has been introduced with the dentist just as his first teeth emerged, that is at 6th month. This was meant so that the children closer and was not frightened of the dentist. With introduced them to the dentist as early as possible, will be useful to detect earlier of teeth damage that happened to his teeth. The visit was furthermore minimal 6 months, and could more often when they have the disturbance to their teeth.

Because the world of the child was the playing world, then introduced food as the child’s toy.

Iron & The Concentration Study

December 2nd, 2009 -- Posted in Nutrition | No Comments »

Iron was needed by anyone, children or mature. The lack of iron will result in fatal for children, because iron was very important for the growth and the development.

Iron really influenced the studying capacity of the child. At the time of in the side, iron that was gotten from food will be processed into the nutrient and will enter blood. Blood in the form of red blood cells or hemoglobin (Hb) will circulate oxygen,  that was needed in each kind of body metabolism. So, when iron is not enough, then oxygen that circulated in blood will decrease, so as to influence body metabolism, and this will be influential in the capacity worked for the adult and the studying capacity and thought for children. So we can said that iron was very important to support the intellectually of the child.

The Adequacy

Three quarters of iron in the body was in red blood cells or hemoglobin. The iron rest was kept on the muscle, the heart, the spleen, the cell and bones marrow. This iron reserve will be used by the body when intake our food is not enough. The lack of iron will cause anemia.

In beginning of anemia, possibly the child was still being seen healthy. However, iron that decreased will cause red blood cells that circulated oxygen to decreased, so as cells in the body would the lack of oxygen, and will cause complaints like: tired, weak, quick tired, was not passionate, the child became emotional, body immunity decreased so the child to was easy to be sick, and that was worst was to influence the process of thinking and studying the child who was connected with their intellectuality.

In beginning of anemia, that was not yet accompanied in a pale face, could be checked the level of ferritin from the blood, so could be prevented of anemia that will have an impact on body immunity, the capacity

The Source

Source food of iron was 2, that are

  • From the animal: meat, the egg yolk, milk
  • From the plants: green vegetables, the legume

The absorption of iron really was influenced by other nutrients. Nutrients that could help the absorption of iron in part to be protein and vitamin C. These nutrients could be filled if we gave food that was balanced to the children. Give food that suitable with food pyramid.

Apart from nutrients that could help the absorption of iron, there was also those who could hinder the absorption of iron, among them t e h, coffee, alcohol, and soda. So, if after eating high food iron, we drank t e h or the liquid that this earlier, then this iron will not be absorbed well.

The source of iron that came from the animal more was easy to be absorbed the body compared with that came from plants, because the source of iron that came from plants needed protein that was enough, vitamin C to help the absorption of iron.

One of the drinks that could be consumed by the child beside water is milk. Milk was the source of iron that was easy to be absorbed well by the body, because of containing protein, vitamin C, and lactose that could help the absorption of iron.

Moreover, the process of cooking will eliminate 10% iron in food. So, food that repeatedly was heated will make iron increasingly decreased. Especially the source of iron that came from plants. Iron that came from meat tended more heat-resistant.
