History of Alzheimer's disease

The disease was discovered by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1907, the name of the inventor named Alzheimer appropriate. Alzheimer found that the brains of Alzheimer's nerves not only the reduction, though full of clumps of proteins called amyloid plaques and fibers wrapped exceptional (neuro fibrillary). protein amyloid plaque forming cells of these proteins, is believed to cause changes in brain chemistry. The loss of nerve cells causes neurological brain that transmit messages from one neuron to another affected.

Although it was discovered almost a century ago, Alzheimer's disease is not as famous as others, such as hypertension, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or even heart disease. Perhaps because the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are not immediately visible, in contrast to hypertension that can be monitored through blood pressure checks. Alzheimer's disease is not detected by the assumption that is often forgotten is a natural thing experienced by older people because of their age. Although it could be "often forgotten" is an early sign of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease became better known after the former president of the United States that 40, Ronald Reagan, said his situation in his letter dated November 5, 1994. Recent clinical research shows that consumption of supplements of omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the rate of cognitive decline in patients with mild Alzheimer's.

The symptoms and severity of the disease:

In terms of mild symptoms may include: forgetting where the keys, forgot to take my hand, he forgot to buy anything in the store, forget the phone number or remember where the drug is commonly eaten all days.

At the secondary level: the patient, for example, forgetting to mix drinks sugar, salt in cooking or forgets how to remove the sugar in the glass.

In severe levels, the patient was not able to do basic things like take care of themselves, and not recognize the circumstances that surrounded his house, does not recognize your colleagues or close relatives.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease can become aggressive, irritable and lose interest or hobby that never interacted interest. Patients with moderate or severe may show strange behavior, like the scream, a shout or follow people anywhere, even though the person goes to the bathroom.

In addition, patients may also experience hallucinations such as hearing voices or soft whisper, or see the frightening shadow. Patients sometimes pace back and forth endlessly, and their sleep patterns also change. Patients are usually more sleep during the day and stays awake at night.
These circumstances are not directly provide mental distress of caregivers or family members who must be alert to keep the patient during the day the "36 hours".

Most Alzheimer patients died pneumonia or pneumonia because no physical activity.
The sad thing is that people who hurt themselves do not understand what was happening and need help from others. The bad news is Alzheimer's disease, can not be cured. However, the symptoms can still be controlled with medication. The drugs were given at an early stage can help people with memory as a function of cognitive activity and behavior sehari2.

Prevalence

About the 1950 some 2.5 million people worldwide suffer from this disease. In 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than one billion people aged 60 years or 10 percent of the world population suffers from Alzheimer's. A growing number of people with Alzheimer's disease is associated with a greater number of older people in the world, and the length of age or length of life of citizens of the world. Age of women living increases to the age of 80 years and men reaching the age of 75. In addition, factors that the best health care and the declining birth rate.

People suffering from Alzheimer's risk:
* Patients with hypertension with age over 40 years
* Diabetics
* Lack of exercise
* High cholesterol levels
* Factor of descent - have families who suffer from Alzheimer's disease in 50 years.

Red Onion Benefits

Onion Benefit
This I have from an email ...
Hopefully useful to all my friends ^ _ ^
I just want to buy a red onion. I hope tomorrow I can hehe ..
Maybe we should start putting the onions on our table.

ONION In 1919, when the flu killed 40 million people, there is a doctor who visited many farmers to see if he could help fight the flu. Many farmers and their families have been infected and killed many. This doctor was visiting a peasant family, and a surprise, it turns out that everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked the farmer what makes it different, the wife replied that she had red onion have been peeled in a dish in every room of the house, (maybe only two rooms at the time). The doctor did not believe it and asked if there could be a red onion to see them under a microscope. farmer's wife gave him one and when he did, discovered the flu virus in the red onion. Shallots are obviously the absorption of bacteria, so keep this family stay healthy. I heard this story from my stylist in AZ. He said that several years ago many of the employees who came to work with the flu and so did many of his clients. The following year he put a few cups of onions around his shop. Surprisingly, none of their staff sick. It worked .. (No, not in the business of the onion.) Moral of the story is, buy some red onion and place in bowls at home. If you work in the office, rather than one or two in the office or at your desk or even in one place. Try it and see what happens. What we did last year and never had the flu. This helps you and those you love from the sick, and all the better. If you have the flu, which could be a mild case .. There is a PS, when you send a friend in Oregon who regularly contribute material to my health problems. He responded with the most interesting experience of red onion: Weldon, thanks for reminding me. I do not know about the story of the farmer ... but I knew he was beaten by pneumonia and not have to say I was very sick ... I found an article that said to cut both ends of a red onion, then put one end of a fork and then place the end of the fork into an empty bottle ... put the bottle at the bedside overnight. It is said that the onion will become black in the morning because kuman2 ... of course it happened just like that ... onion was a mess and I started to feel better. Another thing I read in the article is that the onion and garlic are placed around the room to save many people from the black plague years ago. Onions and garlic is strong antibacterial, antiseptic computer. This is another record. 

TOXIC WASTE ONION

Red onion is a great magnet for bacteria, especially raw onions. Never plan to keep most of the red onion slices. It is not safe, even if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in the refrigerator. Shallots contaminated enough to just cut and left open for a while, so you can do damage (and the need to be more vigilant enough for the onions to put on your hot dog in a baseball park!) If it takes the rest onion and cook like crazy, which might be okay, but if you cut the remaining onions and put in your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onion and potatoes in potato salad wet, attract and grow bacteria faster than commercial mayonnaise begins to deteriorate. Also, dogs should not eat onions. the dog's stomach can not process the onion. 

Please remember, it's dangerous to cut the onion and try to use it to cook the next day, the red onion very toxic even for one night and created a toxic bacteria that can cause a bad stomach infection caused by excessive secretion bile and even food poisoning.

Portobello Mushroom Benefits

Champignon, mushroom compost or mushroom (Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus campestris) is the first species of mushrooms have been cultivated for hundreds of years. This fungus has a value of organoleptic (taste, aroma and appearance) is high, interesting, and I liked it, and the value of a profitable business because of the many fans. Button mushrooms, especially popular in the area that has four seasons and parts of Europe, USA, Asia and Africa. 

In fact, through the engineering technology of choice for the upper and maintaining indoor environmental control in parts of Indonesia such as Bandung, Dieng, Bumiayu and Brastagi, mushroom cultivation can be done well. Mushrooms, mushroom rice, prepare Supa (volvaceae Volvariella, Volvariella esculenta) is the second species of mushrooms that are grown for their value taste, a good business, and profitable, especially in the tropics. Champignon mushrooms rice, including non-timber group. 

Meanwhile, shiitake mushrooms and Donko hioko (Lentinus edodes) is a fungus that first timber of wildlife (for example, are found in the forests of East Kalimantan) with a stick of dry wood or rotten. wood fungus was cultivated for the first time also has a high value and taste effective drugs, so readily accepted by society. Shiitake, for example, can reduce cholesterol and blood sugar. 

In late 1990, the order type of fungus that are produced commercially on a large scale everywhere, has a big business billions of U.S. dollars, include: mushrooms, produced up to 1.25 million-Metrik ton / Tahuna. Shiitake, produced to metrik-ton/tahun 265,000, fungi (made metrik-ton/tahun 70,000), and there are new additional types, namely, winter mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes), with production up to 68,000 metric tons. ear fungus, or Hiratake Lember Supa (Auricularia polytricha) produced up to 65,000 metric tons. In Indonesia, by number, the highest rank held by the fungal rice, followed by ear mushrooms, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms and mushrooms. 

However, judging by the business value and extent of trafficking, the first row is in the hands of a shiitake mushroom, mushroom, mushroom rice, mushrooms, followed by new ones. You see, the fungus of rice in Indonesia associated with pesticide residues which brought together the rice straw (as a raw material culture), so that only eligible for local consumption. In the highlands of mushrooms produced originally in the Dieng plateau highlands are now moving to Bumiayu (Bradford-Navalcarnero border) and Pangalengan (Bandung).

This fungus appears to potential markets and generate higher revenues, both products and fresh (without processing) or as processed products in Indonesia is grown Agaricus bisporus. The seedlings came from the Netherlands, Taiwan and the United States. Agaricus bisporus white with a bell diameter of 3-5 cm size. Upper stem to 6 cm, while the size of the buds 3.2 cm in diameter. There are also types of Agaricus campestris in Australia and France, which has the size and color similar to the first.

The Indonesian market is particularly Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and the United States, although in limited numbers. United States appears as the largest producer in the first country in mushrooms (246,000 metric tons), followed by France (160,000 tonnes), China (140,000 metric tons), Netherlands (93,000 MT), English (84 000 tonnes metric), and Taiwan (59 000 metric tons). Other countries such as mushroom producer is Italy, Spain, Germany, South Korea, Canada, and so although the average is still below the 15,000 metric tons.

Even then, the population began to identify and cultivate local mushrooms, for example, in Indonesia, fungus / mushroom rice mushrooms care remains excellent. 

This fungus is found not to be displaced by other species of fungi. Agaricus with various kinds in fact part of the life of the population that can not be separated anymore. Therefore, do not be surprised if later emerged a new species which is not Agaricus Agaricus campestris, Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. Comes from the results of new developments such as Agaricus brunescens commonly known by the name of portobello mushrooms, portobello mushrooms or brown mushrooms, the hard work of American experts. 
 Mushroom cultivation is a great attention in the United States, especially the type of consumption. In fact, later became also have medicinal mushrooms in various related research and development body. The presence of portobello mushrooms, the common name in the United States, the company's competitors previously tight shiitake mushroom experts predicted would be a kind of prima donna in the United States, surpassing the fungus from Japan or China, which dominated earlier . Both the production side, and the value of your business, the benefits are not very different portobello mushrooms with mushrooms. The difference is the size of a fungus that is 3.2 times greater than the mushroom and color. When the custom of clean white mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) or grayish white (Agaricus campestris), Portabella mushroom Agaricus brunescens or brown fruit bodies size 2.3 times larger.
