Routine Blood Pressure Measurement and Lifestyle Change

2012-05-10T11:06:00.000+07:00

Hypertension can be controlled with medication and lifestyle changes. If left untreated, hypertension can damage vital organs.

Similarly, exposure of red yarn Karo-karo Santoso, a specialist heart and blood vessels of the Heart Hospital We hope, as well as Suhardjono, Professor of Medicine School of Medicine and the kidney and hypertension specialist, in a meeting with reporters on Wednesday (9/5) in Jakarta.

Hypertension is characterized by blood pressure over 140/90 mmHg. Detection of hypertension can be done with a routine blood pressure measurement. "Most good start measuring blood pressure as a teenager," Santoso said.

Santoso said that the blood pressure can only be measured by the measuring device. Therefore, he straightened the myth that the increase in blood pressure can be felt through the tense neck and headache. According to him, it is clinically not symptomatic indicators of hypertension. Headaches can be caused by a fever or a sore tooth.

Hypertension often occurs without symptoms. "As many as 90-95 percent of hypertension has no known cause," he said.

People with high blood pressure are advised to consult immediately get the right treatment. If allowed, even without a complaint, hypertension can damage vital organs such as kidneys, brain, heart and blood vessels that cause disability and even death. Otherwise it can lead to erectile dysfunction.

Santoso said, with diabetes and hypertension, smoking increases the risk of death from coronary heart disease and stroke. To reduce the risk factors, Santoso suggest the application of a healthy lifestyle, such as losing weight, eating vegetables, fruits, and white meat, reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity / exercise and reduce alcohol.

According to Santoso, 2 mmHg reduction in blood pressure could reduce the 7 percent risk of death from heart attack and a 10 percent risk of death from stroke.

To stay healthy, normal people have to keep blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg. As for those who already have risk factors such as heart problems, diabetes, or kidney failure should keep blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg.

Data says the American Heart Association, one of three people in the country suffer from hypertension. In Indonesia, the figure is the same. Citing the Health Research Association, 2007, the prevalence of hypertension reached 31.7 percent. Hypertension is common among rich or poor. Of that total, only 7.2 percent knew he got only 0.4 percent of hypertension and taking medications.

Suhardjono stated, hypertension is a syndrome, which is a collection of diseases. The existence of people with hypertension have shown health problems, such as hardening of the arteries, endothelial dysfunction, impaired glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism disorders. People with hypertension controlled with medication should continue taking the medication.

"If the drug is stopped, the blood pressure will rise again, even strokes. Hypertension can not be cured, only controlled, "he said.

He stressed the need to discipline the patient to take medication, change to a healthy lifestyle, avoid smoking, and eating healthy foods. In addition, the control routine.

According Suhardjono, there are a lot of hypertension drugs. Its use must be compatible with each patient. Because of this, people need to see a doctor to check his condition so that appropriate treatment can be given.

Rounded body shape and tend to have big feet. Have narrow shoulders and large chest. In this form this form of body fat endomorp accumulate in the hips and abdomen.

Choose the type of exercise that focuses on the formation of the abdomen and hip strength. Such as kick boxing and sit ups.

2. Mesomorph (meso):

Muscular and stocky body shape. Chest is wider than the waist. Form was also quite wide shoulders. For those who have a mesomorph body shape is recommended for muscle toning exercises to scrape the fat. It remains proportional to the muscle shape.

3. Ectomorph (ecto):

Have long hands and feet with broad shoulders. Fat tends to accumulate in the thighs. According to Sheldon, ectomorph body type tend to be difficult to build muscle without training hard and intense.

Bilingual Master Reduce Risk of senile

2012-04-07T11:12:00.000+07:00

Are you fluent in foreign languages? Not only useful in communication and cognitive skills in youth, bilingual ability makes the brain more resilient and as protection from dementia.

Researchers from the University of York believes speaks two languages could strengthen key pathways in the brain and improve mental flexibility.

Study leader Dr. Ellen Bialystok, said, "previous studies have established that bilingualism has a beneficial effect on cognitive development in children," he said as quoted from Dailymail.

Recent studies using behavioral and neuroimaging methods to examine the effects of bilingualism on cognition adults. They found, when one uses different languages, regions of the brain that affect the public's attention and cognitive control is active.

This will strengthen the control network is used to process the two languages, can improve mental flexibility or the ability to adapt to the changes that took place.

Studies also show that bilingualism increases cognitive reserve, which protects and stimulates mental or physical activity at healthy brain function. This reserve also delay the onset of symptoms of senility or dementia.

Dr. Bialystok says a lifetime of experience in managing pay attention to two specific brain networks reorganize language, creating a more effective basis for a better cognitive performance throughout the lifespan.

"The experience is intense and sustained left his mark on the mind and brain, and it is now clear that bilingual brains have been shaped by a unique experience."

This research has been published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences.

Young Coconut Restore Stamina

2012-04-03T09:29:00.000+07:00

CHEAP festive and easy to obtain. In addition to releasing delicious refreshments, young coconut water contains a natural isotonic, which is essential to restore stamina and lost body fluids.

Coconut water, coconut water in particular, has long been recognized as a healthful beverage. The location is protected by a hard shell and a thick coconut husk, coconut water is the drink causes a sterile, free from all forms of contamination (physical, chemical, and microbiological).

Today coconut ice is sold in various places, from the tent on the roadside stalls to restaurants and hotels. Usually served with syrup and ice cubes, making it fresher.

Because it is already sweet, young coconut is also nice to be served immediately without the addition of sugar or syrup. In the restaurant Sunda, served complete with coconut shell, known as coconut shells.

Tree of Life
Of some mass media (print and electronic) gives another news that coconuts have managed to save some of the victims of the tsunami disaster in Aceh. Refugees who fled to the hills, save yourself the victim of a palm tree, and which floated on shore, all survived thanks to the coconut fruit, especially from the flesh of the fruit and water.

There are lots of coconut plantations in the tropics and is expected to be found in more than 80 countries. Indonesia is an agricultural country which occupies the third position after the Philippines and India as the world's largest oil producer.

The number of palm trees that grow in Indonesia, especially in areas near the coast, causing Indonesia as a country dubbed the waving palm trees. Traditionally, our ancestors have been very friendly with coconut trees.

In fact, in some ceremonies, the presence of oil is absolutely necessary as a symbol of hope and goodwill. Perhaps because of the very many benefits, coconut shoots Praja Muda Karana made logo (Scouts) in Indonesia.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a versatile crop, both for food and nonfood. Each part of the coconut plant, from root to leaf, can be utilized for the benefit of man. Coconut trees are often given the nickname of The Tree of Life (the tree of life) or A Heavenly Tree (tree of heaven).

Palm trunks can be used as building materials, woven leaves for the roof, young leaf to leaf, leaves the bones to a broom stick, leaf midrib for firewood and sap for sugar, as well as the fruit for various purposes.

Coconut fruit
A palm tree can bear fruit ranging from 10 to 13 times a year. Coconuts grow in clumps, could reach 12 units per cluster. Coconut meat is the most important part of the commodity from coconut trees.

The pulp is thick layer of white. This section contains various nutrients. The nutrient content varied according to the level of maturity of fruit.
During development, the coconut fruit weight increased continuously. The size of the maximum weight is reached in the seventh month. At that moment reached the maximum amount of coconut milk.

After that period, reduced the amount of coconut water and coconut meat thickened. Thickening of the meat reaches a peak at month 9. In the month-10, the oil can be said to be old. In that period, the water content decreases. That's what causes the old coconut would sound if the whipped-whipped.

Old coconut fruit consists of four main components: 35 percent fiber, 12 percent of shell, 28 per cent meat and 25 percent coconut water. Old fruit pulp is the material source of vegetable oil (oil content 30 percent).

The fundamental difference between the young coconut meat and the elderly are the oil content. Young coconut water content ratio and its vast oil. Coconut-called old if the ratio of water content and oil to produce the optimum amount of milk in the majority.
Conversely, if too old coconut, its water level will decrease. In these conditions, the results obtained to be a little coconut milk.

Restore stamina
In our society a growing belief that coconut water, green coconuts in particular, are very well taken by women who are pregnant to the birth process becomes easier and the children born have a white and smooth skin.

Young coconut water is also believed to have the effect of treatment on renal and hipretensi (high blood pressure). Regardless of whether or not these assumptions, we should examine the existing nutrients in the water and young coconut meat.

The amount of water per young coconuts vary greatly, depending on the size of the fruit. In general, the levels are not less than 250 ml per item. Nutrient composition of coconut water varies greatly, depending on the varieties of palm and fruit age.

In general, coconut water containing 4.7 percent total solids, 2.6 percent sugar, 0.55 percent protein, 0.74 per cent fat, and 0.46 percent of the mineral. Nutrient composition of such a good cause can be used coconut water as a medium for microbial growth, such as Acetobacter xylinum for the production of nata de coco. Coconut water can also be used as materials for various kinds of drinks, jelly, alcohol, dektran, vinegar, and soy sauce.

Types of sugars contained in coconut water are glucose, fructose, and sucrose. There are several types of palm sugar levels by 3 percent on an old coconut water and 5.1 percent in coconut water. That's what led young coconut water taste sweeter than an old coconut water.

Amino acids that are found in coconut water is glutamic acid, arginine, leucine, lysine, proline, aspartic acid, alanine, histidine, phenylalanine, serine, cystine, and tyrosine. Vitamins are a lot of coconut water is contained in vitamin C, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, riboflavin, and folic acid.

Most types of minerals found in coconut water is potassium (potash). Other minerals present in considerable amounts of calcium, magnesium, and chloride, whereas in very small amounts are sodium (sodium).

Composition of the beverages with potassium to sodium ratio is high, very beneficial for health, particularly on the prevention of high blood pressure, as believed by the general public during this time.

The composition of nutrients that exist on coconut water is very close to the composition of isotonic fluid, the fluid that is in accordance with body fluids. That is why today many of isotonic fluids sold as one type of drink for athletes (sports drinks).

Isotonic drinks are expected to replace minerals lost through sweating body, during sports activities or other hard work. At the industry level, isotonic drinks are generally made by mixing water, sugar, various minerals (electrolytes),flavors lovers and dyes.

Coconut water seems to have the potential to be developed as a natural isotonic beverage cheap, especially in times of fasting. The weather is sunny during the day and excessive physical activity in the month of fasting, will drain a lot of sweat. On the other hand, there is no fluid intake at all.

These conditions cause us to be very tired and sleepy. However, fasting should not be a reason for the reduced activity during the day. The selection of coconut water as a beverage break their fast reliable way to restore stamina.

When We Need Antibiotics?

But, in fact, of the common symptoms, a doctor based on the knowledge and experience to properly determine the antibiotic. For us, it is important also to know what are the considerations that make doctors prescribe antibiotics so that we can eat them right. Because this is a drug that if taken in inappropriate or improper allocation rules can cause side effects. So, we need to consider when getting a prescription of antibiotics are:

High heat: high body temperature, with a sense of shooting pain throughout the body, and accompanied by a shaking of the body such as chills could be a bacterial infection. Usually these symptoms will make doctors prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infection refers.

However, high body temperature will also be experienced by people exposed to infection from the virus, like flu. That is why, if the fever is still less than three days, you should not directly ask for antibiotics because it could be due to virus infection.

How long does the pain we feel. If more than three days during the heat of the body never successfully suppressed by lowering drugs, the doctor will ask you to do blood tests. From this it will be seen whether the elevated body temperature was caused by a bacteria or virus. From there it will also be determined what the appropriate antibiotic for us if the heat is caused by bacteria.

What color is the mucus from the nose. If mucus from the nose or nasal us clear, it is caused by a virus that usually causes flu. However, if colored green or yellow, it's a sign of bacteria in our respiratory tract. Actually, the color a little snot could not serve as a guide for the specific types of respiratory infections can also be a greenish color. It's just the color of snot this could be one of the reasons doctors to prescribe antibiotics or not.

Sore throat. Although the throat look bright red, actually that's not what doctors look for when they want to prescribe antibiotics. Is a white spot which is a sign of bacteria invade our bodies. If it exists, the doctor will consider the administration of antibiotics.

In addition to the throat, usually the color of our tongue will become a reference doctor. White, pale tongue usually would indicate there is an infection caused by bacteria.

Basically, the doctor will prescribe an antibiotic when I saw the lab results. Able from blood samples, mucus on the tongue, saliva, and snot. These samples will then be examined to what exactly makes our body pain. So, if your doctor prescribes an antibiotic, do not hesitate to ask the laboratory results which indicate the presence of bacterial attack. And, remember to take antibiotics as prescribed until finished. For if not, when a type of bacteria came back, the immune system is not fully formed.

2012-03-23T19:18:00.000+07:00

The phenomenon of saliva that turns one year old baby into the crystal continues to attract many people. This time the Department of Biology Faculty of Mathematics, UB (UB) Malang, East Java interested to investigate them.

Rafa, infant son of Leni Marlinda Hariadi and living in the Mixed Housing, Malang regency, still drooling that turned into a crystal. Until now the release of 104 seed crystal.

"There is already a team of UB's Department of Biological Science who came to the house of the parents the baby. To investigate the behavior of the children and how the discharge process. Team also examined the boy's gestures," said Chairman of the UB Department of Biological Science, Widodo SSI, MSI, PhD, Wednesday (21/03/2012).

From the research results gestures Widodo said Rafa, Rafa is a smart kid, good motor function and he is healthy and normal. "Only when the home team at Rafa on Tuesday (3/20/2012), Rafa was drooling so hardened crystal," he said.

Widodo added, the team also has a crystalline sample of mothers Rafa. "We were given his mother a crystal to be investigated. It does not matter if the current team to his house did not look directly Rafa slobber and so hardened crystal," he said.

Crystal clear that is currently being studied in the laboratory to know its contents, so that we can not conclude what the existing content in the crystal.

"But from the day with Rafa's observations, I estimate that there are saliva-forming content of teeth and bone with a large enough dose of Rafa's saliva. In the future we are waiting on lab results," said Widodo who claimed he could not tell when the completion .

Hooked do ankupuntur? Fortunately for you because this treatment is further proven therapy has many benefits. Recently, American scientists found that acupuncture, or acupuncture, it can reduce stress levels. In a study published in the journal Biology and Medicine, a Chinese traditional medicine is believed to reduce the hormones that cause stress.

Although the research conducted on mice, scientists say that research results can be applied to humans. Research in the United States tested the effects of acupuncture on stress hormone levels, 'neuropeptide Y (NPY). This hormone is produced by the sympathetic nervous system in humans.

The research was conducted on four groups of rats. Experiments conducted during the 14 days was conducted on four groups of mice.

The first group of mice that were not stressed and did not get acupuncture treatment (as control). The second group of rats stressed groups for an hour and did not receive acupuncture. Three groups of mice that were stressed and getting acupuncture 'fake' in the near tail. The fourth group, mice that stress and get acupuncture near the tail.

Researchers used electroacupuncture tools that can ensure every mouse get the same treatment dose.

Lead investigator, Ladan Eshkevari found mice who received acupuncture treatment have lower levels of NPY, almost the same as the control group. Meanwhile, the stressed rats treated with acupuncture and did not have the hormone NPY is still high.

Acupuncture may be reported even 'fight' against acute stress. Acupuncture can cause constriction of blood vessels to all except the heart to the lungs, and brain. "We have suspected that acupuncture can relieve stress. However, this is the first study to show evidence of these benefits," said Eshkevari, researchers from Georgetown University.

Forced abortion as "Morning Sickness"

2011-12-21T14:12:00.000+07:00

Morning sickness or nausea and vomiting symptoms are often considered as a small sacrifice that must be received prior to the prospective mother rocking a baby someday. Still, a few pregnant women who suffer from severe vomiting (hyperemesis gravidarum) that endanger his life.

Hyperemesis gravidarum usually occurs in the first trimester as a result of pregnancy hormones. In the UK, the condition affects 1 in 50 pregnant women. The situation is quite disturbing because pregnant women until I can not eat and drink at all, dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, weakness, and even he could not even do any activity.

These conditions experienced by Amie Diston (20), a British woman. Hipermesis make the conditions were so severe that she had an abortion at age 10 weeks.

"All day I suffered nausea and vomiting. In fact, there is no strength to raise his head from the pillow. Drinking water was making me gag so I often dehydrated," he said.

During two months of her pregnancy, she was treated a month in the hospital because his condition is very weak. The drugs that doctors have given nothing could overcome his condition until he decided to terminate her pregnancy.

"Since positive pregnant I could not far from the bed because it was too weak. All that is eaten will definitely come out through the gag," said the woman who was forced to terminate her pregnancy at the age of five weeks.

Abortion is certainly not an easy decision. Both women were also admitted feeling overwhelmed with sad and depressed. Currently they are actively providing support to other women with hyperemesis and share experiences.

Experts hormonal factors not yet know with certainty the cause of hyperemesis is. However, HCG and estrogen hormone levels were significantly enhanced in early pregnancy is thought to trigger the occurrence of nausea and vomiting.

Hyperemesis untreated can cause miscarriage and preeclampsia. In severe cases, this condition can be life threatening because it causes blood clots and increase levels of toxins in the body.

Although in most pregnant women with hyperemesis will be lost in the second trimester, this condition can continue to occur throughout pregnancy.

Germany's Federal Environment Agency (UBA), the German environmental agency, last week issued a recommendation to the parents who had babies with a history of allergy to swim in the pool is not enclosed (indoor) because it can trigger asthma.

Office stated that environment from the potential for nitrogen trikrolida asthma, known as trikloramin, which will be released when water containing chlorine reacts with urine, sweat or other organic compounds derived from the swimmers.

"It is not possible if the damage to lung tissue at an early age can lead to asthma. Trikloramin Moreover, data on the effect of this is lacking," they wrote in a statement.

They also suggested that parents with babies aged less than two years and have a family history of severe allergies to not bring her baby to swim. It is considered as a precaution until proven safe.

UBA President, Jochen Flabrth also asked the swimmers to pay more attention to cleanliness and the pool owners are advised to reduce the risk by using the latest water treatment technology.

"Swimming is a healthy sport for children and adults. Therefore, to prevent side effects trikloramin, each person should rinse his body with water before swimming," said Flasbarth.

A European study published in 2006 found a high incidence of asthma and wheezing cough in children aged 13-14 years when they use the indoor pool.

Research carried out at the pool England in 2003 also found a high protein in the blood triggers trikloramin young swimmers and parents who just sit in the pool area and not plunge into the pool.

Antipsychotics for disorders Soul More Effective

2011-12-15T14:58:00.000+07:00

The use of atypical antipsychotic drugs for mental patients of productive age (18-24 years) can accelerate the mental patients are cured.

Chairman of the Committee of Medical Mental Hospital Bandung Lelly SpKJ Dr. on Thursday, said the use of atypical antipsychotic drugs is much faster in helping the healing process of mental patients of childbearing age, compared to using conventional drugs or typical antipsychotics.

"Atypical psychotic drugs is much more effective than typical psychotic drugs," he said.

He said, using the drug, expected to reduce the loss rate Productive Day in Indonesia.

It stated, as a result of the many mental patients in their productive age, 12.3 percent Productive Day in Indonesia in 2002 will be lost.

He said another advantage of the use of atypical antipsychotic drugs for mental patients is to eliminate hallucinations in patients.

However, according to him, one of the constraints of the use of atypical antipsychotic medications is the price is quite expensive, so not all people can use it.

During this time, he said, the price of conventional medicine for mental patients ranged from Rp 50,000 to Rp 100,000. "The price of atypical antipsychotic drugs doubled from typical antipsychotic drugs," he said.

Traditional Chinese medicine Accelerate Pregnancy?

2011-11-26T14:50:00.000+07:00

Affairs of China since thousands of years ago was famous for his medical treatment advances are made from herbs. One of the benefits of Chinese medicine is quite popular is difficult to increase the fertility of couples who have offspring.

Statistically, it couples with fertility problems who follow traditional Chinese medicine chances for successful pregnancy four times greater. This is most apparent in couples who perform acupuncture.

A recent study conducted by researchers from Australia to the 1851 women who do not conceive also showed similar results.

In another study of 616 women showed that 50 percent had become pregnant while performing traditional Chinese medicine compared with 30 percent who do modern Western medicine.

In general, the results of the analysis showed an increase in successful pregnancy were twice as high during the period of 4 months of treatment compared to the modern treatment.

Dr.Karin Ried who conducted the research, said infertility affects about 1 of 6 partners and 20 percent of infertility cases of unknown cause (Unexplained).

Research seems to show different levels of success due to careful analysis of the menstrual cycle - the period in which a woman is likely to get pregnant.

He said, "a separate assessment of the quality of the menstrual cycle on TCM diagnosis, seems to be the basis for the successful treatment of female infertility."

Because it is not impossible that fertility treatment can be integrated between the conventional treatment with TCM.

Even so Geeta Nargund, medical director of the infertility clinic in London said patients should be careful in choosing the therapy that will be undertaken.

"The main thing done is a non-invasive method, when no new successful switch to other drugs and invasive approach," he said.

Responding to the results of such research say it should be explained in detail the alternative approach of TCM in monitoring that occurs in the body such as the hormone system and the uterus so that it can detect what differentiates.

"Chinese Herbs can be a potential drug, but herbs also have a risk of side effects that patients should be careful," he said.

pregnant women who "Moody's" Impact Bad For Babies

2011-11-25T15:14:00.000+07:00

Not only the nutritional aspects should be considered for pregnant women. During pregnancy, expectant mothers should keep away from stress as it can create impaired fetal growth and development.

Babies born to mothers who emotionally stable tend to have mental and motor skills better. But if women experience fluctuations in emotions, such as depression, then the baby's ability was impaired.

It happened because the brain baby in the womb have been able to detect the mood of the mother and this influenced its development. Yet nine months in the womb is a time of preparation for the baby to life after birth.

The experts argue, is not depressed mother who makes the baby's growth impaired but the sudden change of mood as it is commonly experienced by depressed people who inhibit the optimal development of infants.

Similar phenomena encountered in the field of nutrition. Studies in 2005 showed that babies are hungry when in the womb but after birth tend to get enough nutrients even more susceptible to metabolic diseases like diabetes in adulthood.

Depression during pregnancy is far less attention. Because it could not hurt a candidate's mother also underwent depression screening so that doctors can help them.

Men who have sexual attraction to the opposite sex and same-sex or bisexual men have often been regarded as being confused on his sexual orientation and more regarded as a male homosexual.

Recent research by a team from Northwestern University revealed otherwise. According to the study bisexual men did have sexual stimulation for each other or opposite sex.

The study was conducted on 100 men in the Chicago area, whether identified as heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual, the same amount. In contrast to other studies of bisexual men, in this study using more stringent criteria for identifying bisexuality.

Bisexual men in this study are those who have sexual relations with at least two people in each gender and have a romantic relationship for three months or more with a pair of two gender.

The study participants were then fitted with sensors on their genitals to gauge their level of erection while watching the videos intimate male or female.

The result is known bisexual men admitted to feeling aroused by the second video. This was reinforced by the results of genital sensors. Meanwhile, homosexual and heterosexual men do not feel the same response.

Even so, Dr.Lisa Diamond, a psychologist who was not involved in the study, argues that measuring the level of erection can not reveal significantly on a person's sexual orientation. The parameters in this study may be more appropriate to find out the real experience of bisexual men.

The experts who commented on the study said it is too narrow if the size of bisexual men was based on sexual stimulation received.

"A person can express his sexual tendencies in many ways. Not that if we turned to see a man and a woman then you are bisexual," said Ellyn Ruthstrom, chairman of the Bisexual Resource Center in Boston.

Sexual orientation is more heavily influenced by the environment, although each person has a gene feminine and masculine in him. In other words, greater environmental influence than genes, including the tendency of their sexual orientation. Heterosexual can turn into a homosexual, or vice versa. And everyone has the potential for same-sex love, lesbian or gay.

"Although parenting and the environment encourages heterosexual, but the changes that continue into adulthood can alter a person's sexual orientation. Moreover, they are not equipped with self-formation, character, religious education, and morality from their parents," said clinical psychologist told Compass Female Lita Ivory.

According to Lita, sexual orientation process influenced by many factors. Very small portion of genes, he said. Internal and external environment is more dominant, including parenting, trauma, the search for a father or mother figure during childhood to adolescence, and parental attention to the growth phase of the child through adolescence. Ability and attention of parents in providing direction and guidance of functional sex differences also be other factors that influence.

"When teens are latent phase. Children already know the sex but not to deliver biologically. If the latent period is not accompanied by either parent, the child can change the orientation. Children get confused if not redirected. Moreover, the age of 15 years for example, have appeared in interest in the opposite sex, "he explained.

More effective preventive
As a teenager lost direction, in the absence of parental figures as a place to share and ask, sexual orientation can be changed. Teens are very sensitive. After all teenagers can still unstable and the environment influenced to choose to be heterosexual or homosexual.

"Therefore, adolescents should be constantly accompanied by her parents. Give freedom, but still accompanied. Parents should position itself as a friend, should know the developments of today and do not feel most correctly," advises Lita.

Proper parenting will help teenagers identify themselves. While parenting is wrong to make teens seek recognition of themselves outside the home, in an environment that makes it comfortable. Trauma in childhood, including for sexual or physical violence can also affect the formation of teenage characters.

Junior high school student lesbian relationship in Depok, West Java, Mr. initials (15) with Sj (26) is none other taekwondonya teacher, is one of the social reality that shows the high influence of environment.

"The environment greatly affects nearby. Moreover, if adolescents have feelings, perceptions, and desires the same with people she likes. This similarity could be awakened because of the proximity, often meet, or make the teacher as a place to vent. Additionally it was also because of the chemistry," said Lita , analyze this social reality.

Sports taekwondo has a strong tendency of people and protect, and adrenaline rush. Such figures can be obtained from Mr. Sj.

If you're comfortable, your child choose homosexuality as a sexual orientation. If it's like this, it is likely to change very little, said Lita.

It's hard to change sexual orientation
Still according to Lita, American Psychiatric Association research shows that therapy do for sexual orientation is still minimal. Even there, a small success rate.

"Most sexual orientation (the homosexual) is a lesbian. The reason for the nature of his heart sank, sympathy, and empathy, is more biased toward women," said Lita.

Therapy is only a little help for someone to change their sexual orientation. Everything should be back to consciousness, or desires of the individual. As well as how to handle parents who should not be forced.

"If it happens parents should receive in addition to trying to restore to heterosexuals. However, parents should be aware that this is due to an error pattern of his foster," said Lita.
