Suami Lacur Saya

KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang terpaksa manakala seorang lagi rela, tetapi situasi dihadapi tetap sama — dijual suami yang malas kerja tetapi mahu hidup senang, walaupun terpaksa makan hasil ‘duit lendir’.

Begitulah nasib dua wanita yang menjadi pelacur dan pelayan pelanggan (GRO) selepas mendirikan rumah tangga dengan lelaki dicintai yang kononnya sanggup hidup susah senang bersama-sama hingga ke akhir hayat.

Red Bull gives you wings - and heart trouble?

(Nigel Morton)

Does Red Bull give you more than just wings?

Sophie Tedmanson in Sydney and David Rose

Red Bull may claim to “give you wings” but drinking too much of the popular energy drink may also lead to heart damage, a study suggests.

A study of 30 university students aged between 20 and 24 years old found that drinking just one 250ml sugar-free can of the caffeinated energy drink increased the “stickiness” of the blood and raised the risk of blood clots forming.

Using tests to measure blood pressure and the state of blood vessels around the body, the Australian researchers said that after drinking one can participants had shown a cardiovascular profile similar to that of someone with heart disease.

Red Bull today emphatically denied that the drink, which is distributed to 143 countries worldwide, was dangerous. In a statement, it said that Red Bull had been proved safe by “numerous scientific studies”, and that it had never been banned from anywhere it had been introduced.

Scott Willoughby, of the Cardiovascular Research Centre at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Adelaide University, said that he was alarmed at the results, and suggested that older adults who already have symptoms of heart disease should refrain from drinking too much of the energy drink.

“After one can it seemed to turn the young individual into one with more of the type of profile you would expect to see with someone with cardiovascular disease,” he said. “People who already have existing cardiovascular disease may want to talk to their physician before they drink Red Bull in future.”

Previous studies have examined the effects of consuming Red Bull, one can of which contains 80mg of caffeine — around the same as a cup of filter coffee — and taurine, an amino acid commonly used in energy drinks.

An estimated 330 million litres of energy drinks were consumed in Britain last year, a market worth £1 billion. However Red Bull is banned in countries such as Norway, Uruguay and Denmark because of health fears.

Last year a research team from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit presented a paper to the American Heart Association suggesting that energy drinks may boost heart rates and blood pressure levels. The results, from a small study, prompted them to warn against consumption by those with cardiovascular problems.

Earlier this year a teenager from Darlington was sent to hospital after drinking eight cans of Red Bull. Paramedics reported that the 15-year-old suffered heart palpitations.

Last year a large study of American college students found that those who drank energy drinks mixed with alcohol during a night out were twice as likely to be injured or otherwise come to harm than those who consumed alcoholic drinks on their own.

Dr Willoughby said that he was prompted to conduct the study after recent reports of deaths in young people who had consumed large amounts of the energy drink before they died.

The high levels of caffeine in Red Bull was suspected to be a contributing factor in the death of a 40-year-old man in Oxford who suffered a fatal heart attack in April after collapsing at an Asda store where he worked. In 2007 an 18-year-old British basketballer died after consuming three cans of the drink, and in July 2001 and 33-year-old Australian man died of a heart attack after drinking a pitcher of Red Bull and vodka.

“There was enough anecdotal evidence to catch my attention,” Dr Willoughby said. He added that previous studies had shown caffeine and taurine to have an effect on blood platelets and heart function, sometimes with beneficial results, such as boosting endurance while exercising.

But, he added, “maybe there’s something quirky about the effect of the combination of the two in the drink which is causing this reaction, this is what we need to look at next.”

The results shocked the 30 students, some of whom drank up to eight cans a night to help them stay awake to study, and many now refuse to consume the energy drink again. Dr Willoughby said he now aims to extend this preliminary study to a larger group of students to verify the results.

Linda Rychter, a spokeswoman for Red Bull in Australia, said that the report would be assessed by the company’s head office in Austria. “The study does not show effects which would go beyond that of drinking a cup of coffee. Therefore, the reported results were to be expected and lie within the normal physiological range,” she added.

Red Bull, which has the catchphrase “Red Bull gives you wings”, was created in Austria in the 1980s. The company last year sold 3.5 billion cans of the drink in 143 countries. Cans of Red Bull already carry health warnings advising customers not to drink more two cans a day. [source]

Got Burned yet? Dangers of Sunburn

Do you spend a lot of time in the sun? No one tries to deliberately get sunburned, but it’s all too easy to overdo it. Overexposure to the sun can cause more than just temporary discomfort. It can also cause permanent changes, including premature wrinkling and aging of the skin, DNA damage, cataracts, and even some types of skin cancer.

Fair-skinned people are the most susceptible, but that doesn’t mean that darker-skinned people are safe from the sun, especially in tropical or subtropical climates.

You may experience a higher risk of sunburn when you indulge in your favorite outdoor activity, too—high altitude activities like mountain climbing or skiing, or sports that don’t involve a lot of protective clothing like surfing or boardsailing increase your exposure to ultraviolet light and thus increase your chances of burning. Time of exposure also matters. The mid-day sun is far more intense than later in the day or early in the morning. Also, spring and summer sun is more intense than fall and winter sun.

There are some less obvious things that will increase your risk of sunburn, too. Certain foods, such as limes, parsnips, celery and figs contain psoralens—chemicals that sensitize the skin to sunlight. If you eat psoralen-containing foods before spending a day in the sun, you are much more likely to get a severe sunburn.
Some drugs sensitize the skin to the sun also. The most common is the antibiotic tetracycline, and its close relatives like doxycycline. Certain diuretics, acne medicines and oral contraceptives may also increase your susceptibility to sunburn.

The best thing you can do about a sunburn is prevent it from happening. When possible, avoid mid-day sun exposure, especially in the spring and summer. Protective clothing, including wide-brimmed hats, can help minimize exposure. If you can’t avoid spending time in the sun, use a good sunscreen.

Sunscreens with a protective factor of 15 or greater (SPF 15) are best. Ultraviolet B rays (UVB) cause most sunburn, and PABA-containing sunscreens protect well against UVB. Some people cannot tolerate PABA. PABA-free sunscreens containing benzophenones and cinnamates work well also. PABA doesn’t block ultraviolet-A (UVA) radiation. UVA rays cause skin reactions from drugs or psoralens. TO protect against the sun when eating a psoralen-rich diet or taking sun-sensitizing medication, use a sunscreen with benzophenones.

Sunscreen is most effective when you apply it at least half an hour before you go out in the sun. This gives the active ingredients time to bind to the stratum corneum (a layer of your skin). After swimming, or just sweating a lot, you should reapply the sunscreen.

Common as it is, there really aren’t many ways to effectively treat sunburn. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like aspirin can reduce redness if taken within the first 24 hours. Cool water compresses may help, and feel soothing. Topical medications with ‘caine in the name should be avoided as they may cause allergic sensitization. In fact, if you’ve managed to get sunburn, there is one proven treatment… time. [source]

Teenagers Involved In Random Sex Prone To Fertility Problems

Teenagers Involved In Random Sex Prone To Fertility Problems

KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) -- The younger generation, especially teenagers active in random sex, are more likely to face fertility problems after marriage, said andrologist Prof Dr Ismail Thambi.

He said pressure put on the reproductive system when engaging in the activity could damage the reproductive system.

He said failure of the reproductive organs were usually caused by bacterial infection, fungus and virus obtained through unhygienic sexual activities with multiple partners.

Dr Ismail reminded teenagers and the younger generation to stay away from the unhealthy activities and to think about their future.

"Many couples who fail to conceive came to me. I found that one of them was infected with bacteria and virus from frequent random sexual activities before marriage," he said.

Some couples were also disappointed when they found out that their partner had been involved in the unhealthy activity, he said.

4. Alcoholics have rate of carcinoma (spread of cancer) 10 times higher than expected in general population.

5. Alcohol generates a large amount of energy in the form of heat on oxidation. This heat is lost through skin casing flushing of the face and other body parts. The heat so released is of no use to body rather the body consumes its own energy for getting rid of this heat.

6. It acts as sedative as it reduces the efficiency of body organs by reducing blood supply.

7. In males, it includes reduction of size of testes, decreased sperm production, acne, and potential for kidney and liver dysfunction, premature baldness.

Kesan Kata-Kata Negatif & Positif

Setelah mendengarkan info tentang pengaruh Kata-Kata Negatif terhadap Air

yang ditulis dalam buku " The Hidden Messages in Water " karya Masaru

Emoto dan pada halaman 31 buku tersebut disebutkan tentang banyaknya orang

yg melakukan percobaan, sayapun tertarik untuk melakukannya sbb:

1. Tempatkan Nasi sisa yg sdh didiamkan semalaman kedalam 2 toples dgn

jumlah yg sama, kemudian ditutup rapat.

2. Masing-masing toples di tempelin label yg berisi kata2 sbb:

3. Toples A : " Kamu Pintar, Cerdas, Cantik, Baik, Rajin, Sabar, Aku

Sayang Padamu, Aku Senang Sekali Melihatmu, Aku Ingin Selalu di dekatmu, I

LOVE YOU, Terima Kasih.

4. Toples B : " Kamu Bodoh, Goblok, Jelek, Jahat, Malas, Pemarah, Aku

Benci Melihatmu, Aku Sebel Tidak mau dekat dekat kamu "

5. Botol 2 ini saya letakkan terpisah dan pada tempat yg sering dilihat,

saya pesan pada istri, anak, dan pembantu untuk membaca label pada botol

tersebut setiap kali melihat botol2 tersebut.

6. Dan inilah yang terjadi pada nasi tersebut setelah 1 minggu kemudian :

Nasi dalam botol yg di bacakan kata-kata Negatif ternyata cepat sekali

berubah menjadi busuk dan berwarna hitam dgn bau yg tidak sedap.

Sedangkan Nasi dalam botol yg di bacakan kata-kata Positif masih berwarna

putih kekuningan dan baunya harum seperti ragi.

Nah Silahkan teman-teman mencobanya sendiri.

Kalau di buku di katakan ada yg mencoba dgn tiga botol dimana botol ketiga

tidak di beri label apa2 alias diabaikan / tidak diperdulikan, dan ternyat

beras dlm botol yg diabaikan membusuk jauh lebih cepat dibandingkan botol

yg dipapar kata " Kamu Bodoh".

Bayangkan apa yang akan terjadi dengan anak-anak kita, pasangan hidup

kita, rekan-rekan kerja kita, dan orang-orang disekeliling kita, bahkan

binatang dan tumbuhan disekeliling kita pun akan merasakan efek yang

ditimbulkan dari getaran-getaran yg berasal dari pikiran, dan ucapan yang

kita lontarkan setiap saat kepada mereka.

Maka sebaiknya selalulah sadar dan bijaksana dalam memillih kata-kata yg

akan keluar dari mulut kita, demikian juga kendalikanlah pikiran-pikiran

yg timbul dalam batin kita.

Semoga tulisan ini bermanfaat untuk kita semua.

Alkohol boleh meningkatkan risiko kanser payudara

Walaupun hanya sekali atau dua kali minum dalam sehari, alkohol tetap memberi risiko kepada kebanyakan jenis biasa ketumbuhan dalam payudara yang diaktifkan dengan hormon estrogen dan progesteron, menurut satu kajian terbesar mengenainya. Kajian kedua pula menunjukkan yang beberapa perubahan tertentu dalam 2 gen terlibat dalam memetabolismakan alkohol adalah berkaitan dengan bertambahnya risiko untuk kanser payudara dalam wanita post menopause.

Kajian ini telah dilaporkan oleh WebMD. "Cantiknya kajian ini adalah ia memberitahu kita sesuatu tentang mekanisma ini, yang mana alkohol boleh meningkatkan risiko kanser payudara", kata Elizabeth Platz, ScD , seorang pakar dalam pencegahan kanser di Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Sesetengah kanser payudara dijanakan oleh hormon, manakala setengah yang lain tidak. Pengkaji-pengkaji telah membuat review sejumlah 184,418 data dari wanita-wanita postmenopause, yang telah menjawab soalan-soalan tentang berapa banyak dan apa jenis alkohol yang mereka ambil setiap hari.


Olahan dari berita CBSNews


Begitulah sejak kedatangan Islam, AlQuran telah melarang meminum arak dan minuman-minuman yang memabukkan termasuk minuman beralkohol. Larangan-larangan itu ada hikmahnya kerana Islam tidak melarang dengan sia-sia, tetapi untuk kebaikan manusia juga. Kerana pencipta kita iaitu Allah S.w.t Maha Tahu mana yang sesuai dan mana yang tidak untuk kita. Larangan-larangan dari Allah adalah untuk kebaikan manusia tetapi manusia sendiri yang ego dan engkar tidak mahu mentaatinya.

Larangan meminum minuman keras bukan sahaja memberi mudharat pada kesihatan kita, tetapi jua memberi mudharat pada akal dan hati kita. Apabila kita mabuk, maka segala kejadian tidak diingini bila-bila masa boleh berlaku. Dengan mabuk ini akan membawa kita melakukan kejahatan-kejahatan lain di luar sedar kita.

Arak bukan penyelesai kepada masalah malah ia dapat menimbulkan lagi banyak masalah. Arak bukannya suatu bahan terbaik untuk kita dapat bertenang.

"Ketahuilah, hanya dengan mengingati Allah hati akan menjadi tenang", Surah Ar Ra'd : Ayat 28.
"Berteguh hatilah kamu dan sebutlah (nama) Allah sebanyak-banyaknya agar kamu beruntung.", Surah Al Anfal : Ayat 45.

Semoga kita dapat mengambil pelajaran bersama. Wallahu a'lam - TEKNOSAINS
