Professor of Microbiology, University of Airlangga Lusida Maria Inge said, the failure of antibody development was recorded in research in one district in East Java last year.

In a joint research team of the University of Kobe, Japan was known to only 23.6 percent of children had antibodies to hepatitis B. “There are 80 percent of children have received hepatitis B vaccination,”

Thus, there are 76.7 percent of children in the district vulnerable to suffering from hepatitis B. In the long run, the virus can cause liver cancer or cirrhosis of the liver.

“We found there was a pause time of birth and vaccination. Some kids just got a vaccine after the age of two months,” he said.

In fact, there is no certainty of a baby infected with hepatitis B virus from mother or not. If infected, there is a time of month for the virus to adapt to the child’s body. Vaccination after the age of two months instead trigger the feared mutation of the virus.

“I proposed a re-evaluation of hepatitis B vaccination program has been underway since 1997,” he said.

Many physicians recommend supplements to meet calcium needs kalsiun. But recent studies say, the elderly should be careful taking calcium supplements. The study, published in the British Medical Journal says people are taking supplements of calcium 30% more at risk of heart attacks.

Data from 11 studies also suggested medical drugs less effective for preventing bone fractures due to osteoporosis. In fact, today millions of people around the world taking calcium supplements to prevent fractures. That’s why experts recommend a doctor to review the use of calcium supplements.

Fitness to be one way of achieving your ideal body. Actually supplementation as necessary for the formation of body fitness?

Modern lifestyle has a lot of people realize the importance and expense of healthy living. In fact, health has become a lifestyle. In addition to a healthy body, increase endurance and motivation form the athletic body, sexy, and lean into a magnet itself.

One way to achieve that desire by doing fitness. Thanks to the fitness, the addition of muscle in a particular body part can be adjusted desire. In these fitness exercises will occur so that burning calories the body can be formed, from the hand muscles, stomach, shoulders, until the foot. To get into shape, for a fitness program, is also necessary supplements.

“However, the use of supplements depends on the fitness goals to be achieved. For example, to maintance (forming) the body or the body just bugar.Tentu the intensity and intake of supplements are also different,” said an instructor at Gold’s Gym Jeffrey Sihite.

Supplements are not necessary if someone wants your body healthy and fit. They simply apply a healthy diet. Healthy diet consisting of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals with a certain amount of content. Different conditions do if the diet is not sufficient applied much-needed nutrients.

“For example, in the middle of busy work could not consume certain foods. Of course, nutrition will also be reduced,” said the master instructor of the martial combat this body. This is where the role of supplements is given, namely to increase the nutritional intake of less.

On the other hand, a supplement is needed for those who want a certain body shape. “Supplements are given because the body requires more protein intake than before. Protein required for the formation of the body muscles,” he said. For example, supplements containing muscle protein content. Supplements are given for works to restore the muscles that “damaged”.

Batak men continued their bloody, when exercising, the muscles in the body would have “damaged”. The addition of protein intake in supplement form will help the muscles grow so they can come back as before. This recovery process occurs at rest or after exercise.

In line with these opinions, founder of the Institute Ade Rai RAI revealed, supplements are necessary, but still the main food more overlooked. Foods that priority is high protein foods, like meat, fish, eggs, milk, tempeh, tofu.

“Judging from the origin of the word supplement means ‘extra’. Supplements will provide convenience and comfort to complement the nutritional needs of the less than complete,” said the man was born in Jakarta, this May 6, 1970. According to Ade, the perceived simplicity, namely how to use practical after completion of exercise. Therefore, currently available as a supplement powder (powder) that can be enjoyed immediately.

As, comfort for the shape of powder supplements are minor so that the body is easy to digest. Therefore, there is no problem if consumed before exercise because the body will not feel too full too. Because of the ease and comfort supplements, does not mean that its use can be pleased. Supplements notice remains the recommended dose.

Moreover consult past

TO get the most (the formation of the body), must not take a shortcut by directly taking supplements. Before taking supplements, multiply the information about the product.

“In order to achieve fitness goals, can be done by three main factors, namely regular exercise, regular breaks, and regulation of supplements. Origin of discipline carried out, fitness goals will be achieved,” said Ade Rai said, adding that the use of appropriate supplements to optimize health.

Furthermore he stated, is different supplements with their respective goals, like fitness supplements or fat-burning supplements. However, it is good if you try to do the exercise patterns (sports) and apply the correct diet before trying a supplement in any form.

Jeffrey Sihite added, before taking a particular supplement should consult the competent person, such as a nutritionist or trainer (coach). “This consultation aims to increase knowledge about the use of supplements and possible side effects will be felt. Therefore, the reaction supplement each different person,” he explained.

If not suitable, a person’s body will react, such as diarrhea or allergies feel in the body. However, Ade Rai pointed out that such supplements do not put the drug. If this condition, will cause the dependency to continue to consume. In fact, the function remains as additional supplements if necessary.

NOT need a special diet to get a stomach boxes (sixpack). Origin know the trick, we can train your abdominal muscles without additional tools.

Everyone have a sixpack stomach. However, because the fat accumulating in the abdomen, the sixpack is not visible. As a result, the more belly bulge and not the eye-catching.

Not just a supporting appearance, sixpack was very good to strengthen the abdominal muscles (either the top, side, or bottom). This is related to daily activities such as bending or supporting your upper body. Other benefits, to balance the body posture in order not to bend or kiposis. Similarly, the development of cervical muscles to the tail bone (elector spinae) that would make the body straight and look even more handsome.

Those who want to get sixpack stomach, but did not have time or reluctant to go to the gym and use heavy equipment, can be switched to manual way. Ie using our own bodies. In this way, training for a sixpack stomach can be done easily, anywhere and anytime. If you want variety, can be done outdoors or with a special media such as a wall or hanging from a tree branch.

Prior to this the abdominal specific exercises, try to warm up (stretching) for five minutes. Then proceed with cardio exercises that include running around the housing, threadmill or exercise bike (spinning) for 10-15 minutes. While these core exercises can be done for 30 minutes. If you have spare time, exercise can be divided into two (morning or afternoon) because they do not have the effect of specific injuries, except for those with spinal disorders.

If the impact of the leading training led to bone pain neck, back, waist, abdomen and even, can be called normal. This is because the muscles are trained parts can not adapt. After some time practicing, the pain will disappear by itself.

We feel pain, should not be forced to bend the head or other body parts too deep. For beginners, it is advisable to bend her head slightly so your stomach muscles seemed to contract. Stop in a position to prevent injury to the next exercise.

“Noteworthy is the relaxed position, try not to touch the back of the floor or mat. Fixed positioning is always on top, so the abdominal muscles and hold concentrated trained (trained). Because the abdominal muscles is also a large muscle, practice starting from the abdominal muscles, middle, bottom and sideways. This will reduce the effect of injury to the stomach, “said Hendri Budiyanto, Club Manager of the Grand Odysseus Fitness & Spa Atrium Senen.

Special owner of body fat (overweight), reps and sets should be copied there. This is because they have to pass first stage of combustion. Better yet, if the exercise is also maximized kardionya. Abdominal exercises so this is just a formation. Tempo is required to get sixpack stomach became more minimal.

Conversely, for the owner of a thin body, abdominal exercises with the tempo tends to be short. Need to burn fat as much as people are not fat. Simply concentrate on the training set increase. Abdominal exercise is conducted in 4-5 sets of 15-20 reps.

At the advanced level (advanced), the practice only adds to the portion while increasing fitness levels. For example when bending the neck has not felt, it can be combined with more bend. Other combinations could be done with one leg, two legs, or alternately as pedaling a bicycle.

Even for the variation, may add weight can be held in the hand while standing, while the body just tilted to the right and left. Is an effective way to train the muscles of the side.

To prevent cramps or bloating, try not to eat too much before and after exercise. When thirsty, drink sufficiently. For the high-carbohydrate foods, should eat at least one hour before exercise.

Fitness is part of the urban lifestyle. But lately, the definition of these lifestyle changes, too. There are means healthy lifestyle, others interpret it as a new way to have fun.

Including Celebrity Fitness, a fitness center is quite popular in Jakarta. However, one producer of private television stations that do not because of fitness go along. All purely by the desire to have a healthy lifestyle.

So as not to interfere with work, he was always looking for a gym not far from his office. Still, he has special requirements. “I prefer the hotel than at the mall. Because if the mall would rame. For me personally, better fitness deserted. In addition to concentration, also enggak line tool too long, “explained Yuke.

Join fitness for sports purposes are also conducted Evryanti Vika, 23. Employee of a government department also hired a personal trainer (PT) in order to get the form to suit his body.

Weight 54 kg, Vika was already overweight and body fat. In fact, PT was informed that the ideal body weight 57 kg. However, insisting Vika can weight the way they want.

Wanting a better shape, he was willing to pay Rp1, 4 million per eight times the meeting to pay the PT course. This cost of course fees per month beyond the number Rp360.000. “Fitnesnya eight to ten o’clock. Was discharged home. Go to the gym, it was only to exercise it, “he said.

Gather and chat

Find a friend. It’s been one of the other objectives of those who love fitness in the gym. It may be that this activity is even more passion than sport.

At least once a kirakira done Marscha Gunawan, 25, when he joined the gym at the gym. White women actually felt there was a problem with the current body shape. He joined the membership of a fitness club just because his friends invitation. “I think there’s no harm. In addition to health, it also can strengthen friendships as well. All are also looking for new friends at the gym, “he explained.

So three times a week, Marscha and his friends always come to the gym in Sudirman area. They joined a fitness class that in fact allows them to meet new people. If there is one person who fits with them, the more his friends.

What diobrolkan? “Anything. Usually it is in accordance with our interests. Fortunately our hobby much the same, so yes there is always diobrolin wrote that, “he said.

Because it’s often together, fitness was a taste less complete if there is one or two people are unable to attend. If that happens, they could all go so there’s no fitness. Others again with Tommy Prabowo, 25. Broadcast on radio one in Jakarta was admitted often eat or go to the gym.

However, it is done only with close friends who were already known before joining the gym. “Because at the gym is no place to eat and watching it, so at times like all movies. But yes, not with new people, “Tommy said that fitness in the Kuningan area. Tommy admitted that indeed there are people who had nowhere else in the gym besides exercising. “Yes most only 25 percent of it,” he explained.

For those of you who want to be healthy but still fun, there is now a new sport that combines the style of hip hop style of young people with a heart-healthy exercise. Exercise called ‘Hip-Heart’ was deliberately created to prevent young children exposed to the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular disease.

“The focus of prevention of heart disease is now aimed at young people, because in the age group of healthy lifestyles remajalah or unhealthy are usually formed. The youth now are smoking more, not eating properly, lack of exercise and more sit or play the computer,” said Laksmiati A. Hanafi, head of Indonesian Heart Foundation in the Pan Asian seminar held Cepheus Study in Gren Melia Hotel, Jakarta, Monday (16/11/2009).

Sports ‘Hip-Heart’ itself is now often found in schools as a form of extracurricular activities outside. “We want more healthy teenagers with more moving and doing sports or exercise. But because gymnastics is usually boring, so we made the movements taken from the hip-hop style that later adapted by scholars with a heart-healthy move,” Laksmiawati said.

Today, sports ‘Hip-Heart’ are mostly found in schools in Jakarta. “In Jakarta alone, there are 40 to 50 schools that have implemented this sport, one in the school of Al-Izhar Pondok Labu. In the future we want menyosialisasikannya to various areas, such as Surabaya, Makassar and others,” he explained.

According to Laksmiati, heart disease has now spread to many young people, particularly women. “In the past, myth that heart disease is a male disease because his habits are less healthy than women. But now, the trend globally is a disease of women. Perhaps because women today are smoking more, drinking alcohol, and stress due to job as a career woman, “said Laksmiati.

While Susan Bachtiar which is the icon of the Indonesian Heart Foundation said, he believes that the key to preventing heart disease is to apply a healthy diet and exercise routine.

“I began to realize and actually implementing a healthy lifestyle since the age of 30 years. I exercise almost an hour every day and eat 5 times a day. But I only eat rice once, it was brown rice,” says the woman who still looks beautiful and fresh in his old age was 36 years.

“This morning I only drink milk, eat cookies 10 hours, 1 hour eating rice and side dishes, 4 hours snacking fruit or biscuits again and that night I banyakin fruit and drink milk again. To exercise, generally one hour every day of my fitness and weekends combined with yoga, “said Susan.

By running such a diet, she admitted her blood cholesterol became more healthy and maintained normal body stay fit and the risk of heart disease went away. Dr Djoko Maryono, SpPD, SpJP, FIHA, PHASE Medistra hospital, Jakarta who attended the seminar also added, “For a young child to eat the fish multiply and stay away from salty foods like chiki-chikian,” he advised.

You’ll Snore
Sleep apnea, a disruption of breathing while asleep, is commonly accompanied by symptoms of extremely loud, irregular snoring. And obesity is the factor most likely to lead to sleep apnea (about 70 percent of people who have sleep apnea are overweight). But don’t despair too much: A Temple University study found that obese sleep apnea patients who lost just 10 percent of their weight showed good improvements of their condition.

You’ll Spend More Time in the Hospital
A study by sociologists at Purdue University found obesity leads to more frequent and longer hospital stays. On average, overweight patients stayed a day and a half longer than those with normal weight. The experts attributed the connection to more prominence of disease, like high blood pressure, which afflicts 46 percent of obese adults. Next time you’re about to dig into a plate of chili cheese fries, ask yourself if they’re worth losing 36 hours of your life.

Your Doctor Won’t Like You
Doctors have less respect for their obese patients than they do for patients of normal weight, reports a new study by Johns Hopkins researchers. As patient’s BMI went up, docs reported a corresponding lower respect for them. Who cares what your doctor thinks of you? Previous studies have shown that when physicians respect their patients, there’s a better flow of information and patients are more likely to seek medical help in general.

You Could Die in a Car Accident
As body mass index goes up, seatbelt use goes down. So say researchers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. In a telephone survey they found that about 30 percent of overweight individuals did not use a seatbelt, compared to about 20 percent of the average population. And the seatbelt use continued to decline as BMI increased. The study concluded that obese people are more likely to be involved in fatal car accidents due to the fact that they’re less likely to wear a seatbelt. So buckle up!

You’ll Get Dumber
Young adults who are in shape have a higher IQ, reveals a new study carried out at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden. The study examined 1.2 million Swedish men doing military service who were born between 1950 and 1976 and analyzed the results of physical and IQ tests when the men enrolled. The results found a clear link between good physical fitness and better results for the IQ test. Researchers attributed the intelligence to the fact that the brain gets plenty of oxygen when people are more physically fit.

You’ll Have a Stroke
Men who regularly engage in moderate-to-heavy intensity exercise such as jogging, tennis or swimming may be less likely to have a stroke than people who get no exercise or only light exercise, reports a recent study. The study’s more active men were 63 percent less likely to have a stroke than those who did lighter activities like walking and golfing. Strokes, by the way, are the leading cause of disability and the third-leading cause of death in the United States.

You’ll Go Broke
With the recent implementation of fat-taxes, sugary and fatty foods are starting to strain people’s belts and wallets. Forty states now impose extra sales taxes (up to seven percent) on soft drinks and a few snack items; and the number of taxable items is only predicted to go up. Medically speaking, a 2006 study found that obese people spent 42 percent more than people of normal weight on medical costs (a difference of $1,429). Additionally, airlines have begun enforcing policies that passengers too large to fit in one seat must purchase a second—at standard price. Makes that $12 salad look more reasonable
