Although there are many common diseases that we know not yet known cure, it turns out in the world is still a lot of strange health problems, no known cause, a rare, let alone no cure.

Here are 7 of the most bizarre and controversial.

1. Disease Morgellon

We may have experienced itching of the skin because there is something crawling on the skin. But there are some people who often feel there is something moving under her skin.

Morgellon disease, the name of the disease, is a condition in which a person feels itchy and felt something crawling and biting under their skin.

According Morgellon Research Foundation, people who suffer from this condition also see there are layers or fibers that appear on his skin. They also suffered wounds in the skin, fatigue and memory impairment. Not yet known causes of this disease but some experts say the disorder is caused due to mental illness and others suggest that the trigger is a rare skin disorder.

2. Alien hand syndrome

According to an article published in the journal Archives of Neurology in 2004, people who suffer from an alien hand syndrome often felt his hand move, reaching or grasping something out of control.

One case was a 81-year-old grandmother who suddenly left hand strangling his own throat and punching his face. Grandma also had sensory and visual disturbances.

A study in 2009 showed people who suffered from an alien hand syndrome is most commonly caused by strokes on the right brain. Other studies mention the part of the brain that controls movement may be uniquely free to become active.

3. Cotard syndrome

Cotard syndrome is often called delusions cotard and walking corpse syndrome is a rare condition where a person thinks he is dead or decaying bodies. This syndrome is usually experienced by people suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. But people who suffer from migraines, tumors or trauma are also reported to often experience this strange disease.

4. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

People suffering from this syndrome have a remarkable body flexibility. They also often have skin that is easily stretched. But in general they are easy to swollen skin and a long recovery.

Most people who suffer from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is known to have mutations of COL5A1 and COL5A2 genes. Estimated 1 in 5000 people have this syndrome. There are different types and variations of this syndrome.

5. No fear

People who have no fear, including the genetic disorder that causes hardening of the structure of the brain responsible for fear responses. Year 2010 and reported a woman had the initials BC suffering from this disease. The woman had no fear response.

6. Always passionate

For people who suffer from persistent sexual arousal syndrome, orgasm only made them a sensation of shame and stress than satisfaction. This disease occurs due to hypersensitivity to orgasm just because a small pressure, sometimes even without any trigger even if they do not feel the passion.

7. Crying Blood

Shed tears of blood, or in medical language is called haemolacria generally suffered by women of childbearing age who are menstruating. Although blood is not always seen in the eyes. Haemolacria can also occur because of severe eye disease.

Jakarta, currently the incidence of noncommunicable diseases is increasing in number. But among the many non-communicable diseases, there are four main types of non-communicable diseases that affects many.

Non-communicable diseases are also called chronic illnesses suffered for a long time and grow slowly. Four major non-communicable diseases are cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke), cancer, chronic respiratory disease (lung disease and asthma) and diabetes.

"The disease is not contagious attacks the productive age group, so that could affect the nation's economy and productivity," said Minister of Health Dr Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih, MOH, DrPH National Meeting in the event the Partnership Strategy Control of Communicable Diseases in Strengthening Health Systems in the Era of Decentralization in Balai Kartini, Thursday (08/18/2011).

Minister of Health said treatment for non-communicable diseases takes a long and costly, so not only affect the economy of the sufferer but also their families.

"Four of this disease does not include mental health, although not cause mortality but this condition can become chronic," said Menkes.

Meanwhile, Minister of Health said in a draft state budget of 2012 reflection on health is only increasing slightly. It required cooperation from various parties such as the cross-government and private sectors, professional organizations, community organizations and all levels of society.

"Therefore, prevention activities are needed and well-planned structured so that the impact can be seen in the coming years. This program should not be done alone but work together with others," he said.

In addition Indonesia is currently facing a double burden, where infectious disease remains a significant health problem but at the same time morbidity (illness) and mortality (death rate) due to noncommunicable diseases is increasing.

An increasing number of non-communicable diseases are triggered by various risk factors including smoking, unhealthy diet (eating less fruit and vegetables), lack of physical activity and have unhealthy lifestyles.

Some non-communicable diseases control programs have been done by the government since 2005 such as the promotion of clean and healthy behaviors as well as tobacco control issues (related regulatory areas without a cigarette).

Cat's whiskers is a medicinal plant of wet trunked plants upright. This plant is known by various terms such as: kidney tea plants / java tea (UK), giri-giri angry (Sumatra), remujung (Central Java and East Java) and songot koneng (Madura). Plants derived from the cat's whiskers tropical Africa, then spread to Asia and Australia.

Local name: cat's whiskers (Malay - Sumatra), cat's whiskers (Sunda), remujung (Java), a salaseyan, songkot koceng (Madura). Whiskers cat species found in Java is O. aristatus, O.thymiflorus, O. petiolaris and O. tementosus var. glabratus. Clone a cat's whiskers are grown in Indonesia is white and purple flowering clones.

Leaves wet and dry cat whiskers beneficial use as medicine. In Indonesia, the dried leaves used (simplicia) as drugs that facilitate the expenditure of urine (diuretic) while in India to treat arthritis. Public use cat's whiskers as a traditional medicine as an effort to cure a cough rheumatism, colds and constipation. Besides, the leaves of this plant are also useful untu treatment of kidney inflammation, kidney stones, diabetes, albuminuria, and the disease syphilis.

White revolution as the intelligence to realize the ideals of the nation's mandatory to be implemented. Just like the question of consumption levels are still low, the preferences of the people will kind of milk is also demanding a correction. More than 80% of world consumption of milk in liquid form, and certainly Indonesia did not go in it.

Milk is a natural drink, is rich in nutrients that are difficult to surpass. In Arab culture, he termed as the drink of the prophets. This is partly because no less, Muhammad, his prophet Muslims refer to milk as a beverage most important and advisable to consume them every day. As a Muslim-majority country, Indonesia would logically adopts what the prophet taught. But the facts say otherwise. Not in line with the logic, the Indonesian nation was recorded as a people with a bad pattern of milk consumption.

Milk consumption levels of Indonesian society is still very low which is a separate issue and requires systemic corrective action, because it determines the quality of human resources in Indonesia, both aspects of health and intelligence. But, in addition to the still low level of consumption, preference (choice of) the community will be the type of milk consumed are also demanding a correction. Senyampang issue a new level of consumption at the point of 9 kg / cap / yr alias 1 cup per week, aka 20 drops per day, there is wrong anyway, from Indonesia in the way people consume milk. Indonesian society is more familiar with milk powder instead of fresh milk or fresh milk. More than 90% of the citizens of this country used to consume milk powder or condensed form, and no more than 10% who drank daily in liquid form. In fact genious, people of the world consumes in the form of fresh milk or fresh milk, as it often appears in the movie-movie from the developed countries.

"More than 80% of the world consumes in the form of fresh milk, which Indonesia certainly not enter therein. Indonesian society is much more familiar with processed milk, powdered or condensed form. "Similarly, comments Dedi Setiadi, Chairman GKSI (Joint Cooperative Susu Indonesia) in Bandung TROBOS met last June. This fact is regrettable Dedi, and thought must be straightened. Because the consumption of fresh milk can be sure to give better profit than processed milk. He reasoned, than originally created with the advantages of milk rich in nutrients that are not owned by any other food, so that the excessive manipulation of some of the benefits would be reduced. Drinking fresh milk is the most appropriate choice to obtain the perfection of the benefits of a glass of milk.

Weak point of Milk Powder
According to Dedi, milk powder processing plant results that many in the market, its main raw materials are imported milk. Called Dedi, imported milk is not milk but the milk that has been completed eliminated its butterfat (fat), "His name is skim milk powder (skim milk powder)." In the processing into milk powder is added as a fat substitute from palm oil (palm oil) . So that the fat is vegetable fat instead of animal fat anymore. So milk that has undergone a modification which is the main ingredient of processed milk is sometimes also called recombined milk. Instead of fresh milk straight from a local cattle ranch.


Found separately, Ali Khomsan nutrition experts from the IPB does not fully agree with that view. In her opinion, nutrition, milk powder contains nutrients that are not different from fresh milk. Nutritionist in the processing industry has been counting the balance of nutrients in it. He confirmed, during the processing of several substances such as vitamins that are vulnerable to the heat will be damaged. But to counterbalance this, the manufacturer affixes vitamins provide a replacement, and some other elements, in lieu of reduced nutrition during processing. In principle, there is no problem in terms of nutrient content throughout the presentation of rules and procedures met the consumer.

According to Ali, the main purpose is to milk as a source of calcium, while other nutrients such as protein and vitamins are owned several other animal food with higher levels. "So milk is a major source of calcium, is the main substance of the milk," he explained. From a glass of milk contains 300 mg of calcium. And as also mentioned in a scientific journal American output, either fresh milk, low-fat milk (1%) and nonfat milk contains calcium equivalent. That nothing less than low-fat milk, except for fat. (See table).

Calcium (mg) Kalories Fat (g)
Fat free / Skim 300 90 0
Low-fat (1%) 300 100 02.05
Less fat (2%) 300 120 5
Whole milk (3.25%) 300 150 8
Low-fat chocolate milk (1%) 290 160 2.5

However, Ali pointed out, the consumption of powdered milk has a major weak point in the standard presentation. There are several critical points that have the potential to make a glass of milk ready to drink is not equivalent to fresh milk. Presentation of errors can be caused because the level of consumer understanding is still lacking, or can be caused by arson. With ngirit reasons, not infrequently the users of powdered milk to reduce the dose accordingly. "The milk is considered, as long as it's white enough. Though the concentration is absolute, "said Ali. Not to mention the matter of hygiene is often a constraint in the presentation. Level of public awareness Indonesia would "hygien" still low, conditions of hygiene to close the entry of germs opportunities often not ignored. These critical points to minus points from the presence of a glass of milk from milk powder.

Ali was very fully support the efforts of drinking liquid milk. "The culture of drinking milk societies to be changed gradually," said Ali. Not only reason milk powder has a value of minus, as explained, but also because of drinking fresh milk will give you profit from the price aspect. During this milk by some people still considered a luxury item that was bought. That's because it is in the subconscious is the processed milk available on the market in expensive packaging. Not so when the milk fresh. Fresh milk certainly more affordable.

Chairman of the Board of dairy, Teguh Boediyana provide information on how to compare the price of milk powder with fresh milk. Say, 1 kg of milk powder equivalent to 8 liters of fresh milk, the milk powder in the packaging box 800 grams equals 6.4 liters. With prices ranging from Rp 48 thousand / boxes can be calculated per liter of fresh milk equivalent of Rp 7,500. While the current price of milk at the cooperative level is absorbed IPS Rp 3,600 for TS 12% (excellent quality). These calculations illustrate the price of milk powder per liter of fresh milk equivalent of twice the purchase price of fresh milk directly at farmers. With a more affordable price of milk, milk consumption will be more evenly to the layer that has been untouched. In turn, the cultural consumption of fresh milk will encourage increased intake of milk nationally. So the campaign for Ali to drink fresh milk is more on the reasons for the boost consumption levels, rather than nutritional reasons.

Creating Alternative Markets
Changing culture is not easy, it takes effort not easy and inexpensive. "It takes a lot of party's commitment to change this mindset. And the main draft no-can-not be the government! "Back Dedi who is also Chairman of West Java GKSI stressed. Especially dealing with the promotion of powdered milk advertising in various media. "The image thus processed milk high polished on mass media advertising, to the substance of their milk sink in between the exposed particle substances in milk," said Dedi. "Moreover, sweetened condensed, 80% of the ingredient is sugar. So that means drinking milk sugar taste, "he joked. But it was packaged in such a way that the shortage is gone altogether.

The first step is most likely and reasonable to do is to introduce fresh drinking milk at school children. "This group must get used to drink fresh milk or fresh milk," said Dedi Ali is also presented. Both convey, the meaning of fresh milk or fresh milk is pasteurized milk and UHT milk (Ultra High Temperature) are mostly found in the market. Slightly different, Smith said another one, milk sterilization. But according to Ali in principle the same sterilization and UHT.
Producing liquid milk is not difficult, according to Smith's conviction. All primary cooperatives capable of producing liquid milk, "The problem is, the market is still small because of cultural factors earlier." So the idea of ​​a program that has the impact of the creation of the market than ever. "The government formed a captive market, cooperatives provide a product," he expressed the idea. He proposed movement of children drinking milk at school for example PMTAS (Supplementary Food Program for School Children) further intensified. "Getting used to drink milk once a week, with funding from the government, so intelligent solutions," said Ali matching.

Funds could be from the education department, or departments of health or social. Smith added that the program is only temporary. "Two years for example, then the child will be accustomed or addicted to milk and voluntarily use the allowance to buy milk," Dedi algebra. What happened during this, children are not accustomed to drinking milk every day in the middle of play or school activities.

What is the difference between cow's milk allergy and lactose intolerance, since both are almost the same characteristics, namely diarrhea when consuming cow's milk.

According to the explanation Prof.Dr.dr. Hananto W. Dipohadiningrat, SP.A (k), allergens are cow's milk protein from cow's milk, while lactose intolerance due to issues of human lactase enzyme.

Incidence of allergy to cow's milk does not directly look after the children drank milk. After repeated consumption of cow's milk no problem, until such a time of cow's milk makes child has diarrhea. Another feature of milk allergy appear reddish or itching in the body after drinking cow's milk.

While in the case of lactose intolerance, diarrhea occurs immediately after the children consume milk. Because it is in the child's body does not exist / lack of lactase enzyme that digests lactose.

In the case of cow's milk allergy, the body reacts to the core substance called immunoglobulin. So, when children consume cow's milk, her body will make antibodies, the longer he is eating, growing high-antibody. When it had passed the threshold of antibodies, then comes the allergy.

Incidence of allergy most often experienced by young children, especially children under the age of one year. In adults there is also found but very rarely due to cow's milk allergy usually disappear with age.

Children who suffer from allergies to cow's milk will generally be given milk substitutes in which the protein of the already hydrolyzed cow's milk (cow's milk proteins are already broken down into small particles or partial hydrolize). Milk is known by the term or regular milk that hypollergenic dituils on the packaging of HA.

When feeding is already hydrolyzed is fixed trigger allergic children, the alternative is extensive hydrolyzed milk (milk where the protein is broken down into smaller particles again).

If the allergy is still, inevitably the child should consume milk amino acids (proteins made into the smallest, called amino acids) which is relatively expensive. Usually after a child is given the amino milk consumption for long he could stand to cow's milk and can eat them.

Well, to find out more certainty whether the child is truly allergic to cow's milk allergy tests can certainly be done.

Surely we must have known that the human brain has an important role to control the human body and control according to what we want. The brain has a very vital role to support the activities in our daily lives. With a healthy brain and smart of course, we can achieve goals that we want (of course also be accompanied by effort and hard work that maximum) as well.

Less than the maximum performance of the brain that can cause disability or even someone interrupted or disabled to perform normal activities. Many types of diseases that attack the brain, one of which is a deadly disease such as Alzheimer's disease that afflicts legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. Alzheimer's disease can make a man paralyzed in a non-physical, so even though the physical organ of the body is still normal and healthy but if exposed to these kinds of diseases can cause memory derastis reduced. There are even some cases of Alzheimer's disease can make the sufferer can only recall the memory of time for 5 minutes.

According to research conducted, but closely related to genes or heredity, weakening the ability of the brain memory performance is closely associated with the style and pattern of life that we do in everyday life. Following the pattern of life that need attention in order to keep our brains functioning smarter and stay well:

If we have a pattern of life often gives the body intake of alcoholic beverages (even more so we're living in a tropical country, so it can certainly keep the alcohol from the body which we love!), Then you should immediately leave this bad habit! Research conducted in Negari Uncle Sam USA, showed that people who frequently consume beverage alcohol would be more likely to experience cognitive decline by 40 percent when compared with those with normal patterns of living away from alcoholic beverages.
Should increase consumption of fruits rich in content to the concentration of oxidants such as apples, and quercetin. Because according to the study will contain quercetin concentrations of oxidants and can help minimize damage to brain cells caused by free radicals that are very difficult to avoid if we live in an environment perkota's what it is today.
Expand to consume vegetables that are rich in folate which can be found vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, etc.. The content of folate may help reduce the risk of deterioration of speech.
Expand consume fatty fish such as salmon, where fish are rich in omega 3 content that can help reduce plaque by up to 70 percent. For additional information ya, content levels of plaque in blood vessels is one characterize begin the presence of deadly diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Always try to apply the correct diet to eat in moderation, especially do not overdo it! Because according to the pattern of research that led to excessive eating causes obesity (if dah dech ndut diet, tired dech!) Can increase the likelihood of increased content of plaque in blood vessels. Hmm ... Emang really not good if you eat too much! He4x ...
Take regular exercise such as getting used to walking every day. By doing regular exercise then it may make blood circulation more smoothly (including the blood circulation in the brain).
Dementia is one of the other diseases that attack the brain, which can be stimulated in the presence of cholesterol and blood pressure abnormalities. A study in the U.S. mengukapkan that in addition can lead to heart attacks, diabetes and smoking can also cause dementia.

Jakarta Despite a healthy body weight and condition of the body fit, but if you are less activity then it only takes two weeks to alter the metabolic and fitness. The body can change from fit so fat (fat) in just 14 days.

The results of new studies that have been published in the Journal of Applied Physiology showed that only took 2 weeks reduced the activity to see significant changes in metabolism and fitness.

One study says if a person used to live healthy by walking 10,000 steps every day, then reduce it to 1,500 steps per day, there will be 7 percent increase in abdominal fat after 14 days, although he still retains a normal diet.

Reduction activity of walking will also lead to lower VO2max capacity (the body's ability to use oxygen) by 7 percent, reduced muscle strength and worsen insulin sensitivity.

In addition, it only took 3 days reduced the activity to see elevated levels of blood glucose after eating, which over time will increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

The study focused specifically on non-sporting activities, like walking around the complex, walking to the bus stop or just to walk toward the desk colleagues.

"There is epidemiological evidence that shows even in people who exercise regularly, sitting too long can be associated with an increased risk of disease," explained John P. Thyfault, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Missouri, as reported by Menshealth on Monday (8/15/2011).

Thyfault suggested arose from his seat every 15 to 20 minutes and move around. If the skeletal muscles become totally inactive for long periods of time, then the body will initiate biochemical changes that lead to insulin resistance and blood glucose.

Jakarta, Chikungunya fever, bone or make sufferers have a fever and pain until the bone was like that even severe arthritis can become paralyzed.

Chikungunya virus caused named Alphavirus and transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. This virus can not be eradicated and there is no cure. But now scientists are able to create a vaccine that can prevent Chikungunya.

"Today I have found no treatment or vaccine is approved for chikungunya, but there is a real need of an effective vaccine to protect these infections. So far we see this vaccine could meet that need," said Scott Weaver, director of UTMB's Institute for Human Infections and Immunity in the Galveston National Laboratory, published online in the journal PLoS Pathogens and the ScienceDaily quoted as saying on Monday (8/15/2011).

Symptoms of Chikungunya include high fever accompanied by chills up the sense of pain stabbing through the muscle and bone so that bone is also called the flu.

Although the symptoms are severe, the virus that causes the disease is not eradicated so that the medication is given only to cope with symptoms such as fever were given to overcome the fever. Fortunately, these symptoms only last between 5-10 days and will heal by itself.

The disease is still an epidemic in India, Southeast Asia and Africa. Currently, the researchers combined the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Inviragen Inc.. in FColorado, University of Wisconsin, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the University of Alabama has developed a new candidate vaccine to protect humans from the threat of this virus.

This experimental vaccine in the form of a recombinant live attenuated vaccine, the vaccine created by genetic modification of Chikungunya virus. Manufacturing uses techniques developed with support from the Western Regional Center of Excellence in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases, which is headquartered at UTMB.

The resulting vaccine strain differs from wild type Chikungunya virus in two ways which do not cause disease and are not able to infect mosquitoes.

The nature of the latter is very important as a safety feature to ensure that vaccine strains can not initiate the transmission in the health area. The goal is that tourists can be immunized before traveling to Africa or Asia but can generate an immune response against Chikungunya infection in the future.

Like the live virus, the vaccine is also relatively economical to produce in large quantities. This factor is important given the limited resources in the area afflicted by outbreaks of chikungunya.

"We need to slow the virus in India and Southeast Asia, not only to protect the people there, but also to reduce the risk of possible disease outbreak in here after the tourists go home infects. The best way to do this is with a vaccine," says Weaver .

UTMB has signed a licensing agreement with Inviragen for the commercialization of new vaccine candidates. In addition, both partners have been selected to receive grants from the National Institutes of Health United States amounted to U.S. $ 3 million over four years to complete this project.

Cyst disease is a disease affecting women. Cyst itself is a fluid-filled bumps in the ovaries. This disease is a benign disease, because most do not handle the big operation. However, based on the level of malignancy, cyst disease can be divided into two kinds:

1. Non-neoplastic cysts, that are benign and will usually deflate their own after 2 to 3 months

2. Neoplastic cysts, these cysts are generally required surgery, but it also depends on the size and nature

According to Drs. dr. T. Z. Jacoeb, SpOG-KFER, cysts can not only grow in the ovaries ovariom or women only, but can also grow in the lungs, intestines and even in the brain. Cyst disease can be caused by air pollution and dust.

The presence of dioxin from the factory smoke and combustion gases can lower motor endurance of human body which will later help the growth of cysts. Apart from dietary factors, excess fat or fat are not healthy will lead to fatty substances can not be broken down in metabolic processes that will increase the hormone testosterone.

There are four kinds of ovarian cysts. Functional cysts, dermoid, chocolate (endometriosis) and gland cysts (cystadenoma). Until now still not known how the occurrence of cysts. Usually grow very slowly and common malignancy in the age over 45 years. Of the four cyst is the most widely and frequently shrink itself along with the improving of hormonal balance is a functional cyst.

Cyst disease also can be said or hereditary degenerative diseases. If parents or your grandmother had suffered from cysts or uterine disease, then certainly you are including one of descendants of hereditary cystic disease.

However, the nature does not mean that people with cystic disease, you can prevent the onset of cyst disease with a healthy lifestyle. Avoid foods high in fat, rajinlah exercise and consume foods and beverages that contain antioxidants. Because antioxidants can counteract the free radicals from dust and air pollution.

Although even peynyakit cysts include benign disease, but at this disease has the potential to become malignant disease. And if it had to be like that then it should be treated seriously. Although it has not yet malignant, cysts if terplintir will result in pain that is very sore.

Some symptoms of the onset of cystic disease are pain during menstruation, lower abdominal pain, often felt like a large or small bowel, and the circumstances that have been advanced can be palpable lump in the abdominal area. And if the cyst ruptured, such as during intercourse, the patient will feel increased pain when doing heavy physical activity.

Within days, Ramadan will arrive. Well, this time we felt it was important to bring forward an article about fasting and breastfeeding. The following article written by the Breastfeeding Association of Indonesia (AIMI) - http://www.aimi-asi.org/

Hopefully useful ...
Full month of worship for Muslims in the world. One of worship that must be done every Muslim who has baligh (of age) were fasted. Well, what about pregnant women and breastfeeding?
Fasting Ramadan law remains mandatory for pregnant and lactating mothers. Alhamdulillah, Islam gives allowances for pregnant and nursing mothers not to fast by fasting at another time or ransom.
The first, returned to the motivation or intent. If pregnant and lactating women do not do the fasting for health worry him, so he considered himself like a sick person. So how to change fast with the fast changing dikala the sick, by fasting another day. However, if worried about her baby, is regarded as the parents who have no ability to pay in addition to the fast way to replace it-like-that way parents with ransom.
Secondly, pregnant or nursing a ransom just enough without having to fast. Because neither fasting is not due to illness, but because of circumstances that make it incapable of fasting. His case is closer to parents who are unable to fast.
What and how to ransom? Fidyah is to feed the poor. One day of fasting was replaced with one fidyah. The size of feed is for the portion we eat 3 meals a day, which is about a mud or 600 grams. If the money was prepared, at cost we eat 3 meals a day.
When giving fidyah, there are procedures do as well. One thing to remember is do not forget to say news handover / consent granted. For example "I am a ransom to you, please welcome". If you ask someone else who gave it, "Mrs. A ransom to you, please welcome".
Well, for breastfeeding mothers who want to fast how? During the condition of mother and baby healthy, then allowed to fast. However, if the concern occurred unwanted things, such as malnutrition, decreased milk production, illness, etc., Islam advised not to fast.
Breastfeeding Lactation Management Who's Fasting
With the change in eating schedule, it does not mean food intake dikonsumsipun changed. Importantly, breastfeeding mothers still eat 3 meals a day and the discipline to consume foods with balanced nutrition, with the composition of 50% carbohydrate, 30% protein and 10-20% fat.
Then, the following things can be done to ensure that the mother's milk production during fasting remains smooth and quality:

    Balanced menus with nutritional intake

    Mothers who are breastfeeding does require about 700 additional calories per day, 500 calories taken from the mother's diet and 200 calories derived from fat reserves in the mother's body. Therefore, it is important for breastfeeding mothers who are fasting to keep eating 3x a day with a menu of balanced nutrition. At dawn, when breaking the fast and prayer before bed after tarawih. Meal would produce useful energy for our activities that day. Composition of foods with balanced nutrition will produce the foods good for children.
    Increase consumption of fluids, ranging from breaking until dawn

    If you can drink water during the day as much as two-liter, coupled with other types of liquids such as fruit juice, hot tea and milk. Drink a glass of milk every meal can reduce the threat of anemia in pregnant and lactating mothers. Anemia is a decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) in blood. Breaking the fast by drinking warm drinks, will stimulate the smooth milk for breastfeeding mothers.
    Get plenty of rest

    Feel faint when fasting was a common thing, especially if the mother has just breastfeeding. Try to rest for a moment, whether by sleeping or just relaxing calm the mind. Breastfeeding mothers need to know, that the more breast sucked by the baby, then milk production will be more and more. So, if during fasting remain diligent lactating mothers, breast milk will remain smooth.
Working Mother
Working mothers correct nutrition in the workplace are advised to keep doing the milking milk usual activities with due regard to these tips, as already mentioned above this. Re-adhered to the principle of demand and supply, the more milk removed the more milk will be produced. If a nursing mother who used to stop milking memerahnya activities during the month of fasting, then the milk produced can be reduced, which is not caused by fast activity but because it reduces the activity was flushed.
However, breast-fed baby is right. So, heed the interests of the baby. For mothers with babies under 6 months, it is recommended not to fast because the baby is in the stage of exclusive breastfeeding and have not obtained any additional food except breast milk.
Congratulations pilgrimage fasting month of Ramadan ...
