Hot weather often makes us want to continue languishing in the house while installing air conditioning (AC). Your bedroom window is rarely even open because the AC stays on all day. You are less likely use the fan because when I wake to sleep often so your stomach bloating or heads so dizzy.
Because always in the closed state, so the bedroom was stuffy when the AC was not turned on. And as always use air cooling, so we also forget the fan. In fact, fans proved better than the air conditioner, and more healthy for us. Want to know why? Are there any tips so you can maximize its use?
1. Improve air circulation. Fan, whether it is placed on the walls, ceiling, table, or floor, causing cold wind effects that make you more comfortable in the house. The fan that is placed on the ceiling is also considered a type of fan that is most effective in improving air circulation. In the morning or afternoon, open the bedroom window and let the fan lights up a few hours. Fans do not cool the air, but only move the dirty air in the room out, replace it with clean air from outside.
2. Healthier. The fan did not function as a coolant, only the cold wind effect. Instead, the AC did not have air circulation function. Because the room completely closed, the air in the room will spin in that area throughout the day. You remember, the in breath, we’ll breathe O2, and CO2 will be released when you exhale. That means, when we sleep with someone else, we will also inhale CO2 released by friends of our sleep.
Now do not be surprised if you are easily infected with the flu if you sleep with a brother or a husband who was caught colds in air-conditioned room. Not that we should not use the AC at all. However, minimizing the use of this air conditioner. For example, use only at night, while during the day is replaced by a fan. To avoid stomach bloating or sense of common colds, do not direct the wind directly into your body when installing the fan. Easy, right?
3. More efficient and environmentally friendly. The fan makes a hot room was colder than it should have. The fan located in the ceiling, for example, spends only about 75 watts of power (equivalent to the light bulb) and only one tenth of the power generated by the cooling air. In addition, the fan did not make the air was stuffy and humid as happens when using the AC. Do not forget to switch off the fan when you’re not using it.
4. Help with open windows. Room windows are not only used to provide views from outside the home. Make sure you design the window with the proper position because by controlling the size and location of the window you can also adjust how much light and heat generated at different times of day. Open curtains to let the hot air when the air circulation going.
5. Place the fan to the outside. If your bedroom has two windows facing each other, put a fan facing out (select the side of the room is hotter or more exposed to sunlight, and place the fan as high as possible), and another fan facing inwards (towards the cooler, and place it as low as possible). You can also put a lower fan near the entrance to give the same effect.
Milk does not become a daily beverage for people in developing countries. We only drink it when we were babies, when pregnant, breastfeeding, and when we start porous bones. In fact, if we have to get used to drinking milk during their productive age, we certainly would not have had time to experience bone loss. Do not forget, women are more susceptible to osteoporosis. When pregnant and lactating women, calcium in our bodies will be absorbed by the baby so much we need to add this calcium intake.
Just a reminder of the importance of milk, try to see why you need to eat again from now on:
1. Helps maintain weight
Yeah, who says drinking milk make you gain weight? Some studies even show that people who consume more dairy products will be more streamlined. Body fat content were lower than those who rarely drank milk.
Milk is better able to make us feel full, rather than other types of beverages. Most likely this is due to protein content, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2009. It is said that people who drink milk without the fat will feel more full, so eat less at subsequent meals schedule. This does not occur in people who drank fruit juice.
So, if you want to keep your weight at a normal rate, choose low-fat milk (or nonfat). A glass of low fat milk contains just eight grams of fat.
2. Build bone
A cup of milk provides 30 percent of daily calcium requirement. This is the mineral that helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth. Calcium is important for bone formation in children and adolescents. He also helps build bone mass which gradually disappear as we age. To get the calcium intake from other foods (with an equivalent amount), for example, you must eat more than seven cups of raw broccoli.
3. Number one source of vitamin D
Vitamin D is not only essential for calcium absorption, but also improves the immune system, reduce the risk of some cancers, diabetes and multiple sclerosis, and ensuring better blood pressure. New research presented at the annual meeting of Experimental Biology, April 2010, showed that nearly 43 percent of milk provides vitamin D that we get from food.
4. Help shape and strengthen muscles
A cup of milk contains 16 percent of daily intake for protein, which serves to build and repair muscle tissue. Several small-scale research conducted by the dairy companies found that chocolate milk can help athletes recover energy, even better than sports drinks. Milk chocolate contains a mixture of proteins and carbohydrates the body needs to restore energy supplies after a heavy gym session.
Scientists in England have discovered a substance that can be appetite suppressants. The substance of these substances are naturally found in the human body, can lead the way for new diet drug helps people lose excess weight without any side effects.
The essence of these substances is not to stop eating because of hunger. These findings can also be used to treat addiction to alcohol and drug abuse, said the researchers at the University of Manchester, as reported by Mail Online. Substance called hemopressin it works by affecting parts of the brain that gives a signal when someone is enjoying snacks or cigarettes. Tests showed that these brain regions hemopressin block and reduce the enjoyment of eating.
Garron Dr. Dodd, one of the authors recently published the findings in the Journal of Neuroscience, believes hemopressin can suppress hunger without side effects. In the tests, trials on rats fed hemopressin substance will prove they eat less. “We now plan to investigate this further,” said Dr Dodd.Dia added: “Although our findings have indicated safe, safety, could not be immediately extrapolated to humans.
These findings may encourage the discovery of drugs that stimulate the brain to produce more hemopressin, he said.
Do not ever forget to take vitamin C if you want to have beautiful skin, bright, healthy and young. Vitamin C is a key ingredient in the formation of collagen which is very important for our skin. And guava is one of the best sources of vitamin C that we can enjoy.
Why? One cup (165 grams) of vitamin C content of guava was nearly five times more than they are at a medium-size oranges, namely 377 mg. This is the same as getting vitamin C five times from our daily needs.
So what do vitamin C with beautiful skin? Based on studies that examine the eating patterns of 4,000 American women aged 40-74 years, found that women who consume large amounts of vitamin C have fewer wrinkles than a in small amounts. Therefore, production of collagen becomes better thanks to vitamin C.
Not only that, guava also offer protection against food borne pathogens or dangerous pathogens that are transmitted from food, such as Listeria and Staphylococcus. Thus the results of research conducted by experts from Bangladesh microbiology. Antioxidant content in guava equally great with that found in blueberries and broccoli.
Enjoy drinks by mixing super ½ banana, ½ fruit guava, a handheld strawberries, ½ cup soy milk, and ice cubes. Mash with a blender until well blended. Serve and enjoy as relieving thirst in the scorching afternoon sun.
