Measuring blood pressure in both arms turned out to be better than just one of them . Checking in both arms could help doctors detect hidden heart disease .
Research shows that when there are differences in blood pressure in
both arms is large enough , then someone who looks healthy 38 percent
greater risk of having a heart attack , stroke , or other cardiovascular
problems are deadly .
Merekomendaskan
results of this study , these risks can be anticipated by means of an
inexpensive , fast , and simple which adds to the tension of the
examination . Extra examination ( on both arms ) can provide early warning and then will recommend lifestyle changes to improve heart health .Hypertension increases the risk of stroke and heart attack up to three times . Hypertension also interfere with the kidneys, eyes , and increase the risk of dementia . Unfortunately , the symptoms of cardiovascular disease and hypertension often goes undetected or too late .
In this study researchers from Harvard Medical School USA , noting blood pressure both arms of about 3,400 respondents . Respondents are male and female over the age of 40 years .
As a result, little difference in blood pressure right arm and left relatively normal . In the study , systolic blood pressure varies up to 5 points . Systolic blood pressure is written on the top and showed a higher rate .
But in 10 percent of the respondents , there is a difference of up to 10 points or more between the two arms . Respondents were men and women who experience these differences , 38
percent risk of suffering a fatal heart attack , stroke , or other
cardiovascular problem within the next 13 years .
According to researchers , a greater pressure on one arm indicates blocked arteries lot of fat . This marks the arteries in the heart and brain are also experiencing the same obstacles . Report in the American Journal of Medicine said the obstruction increases the risk of heart attack and stroke .
Although the guide in the UK advised doctors check blood pressure in both arms , but most only take one of them . According to the British Heart Foundation , which is a big difference
in blood pressure in both arms should not be underestimated .
"Even
if someone does not have kardiovakuler disease risk factors , blood
pressure differences are large enough to indicate the presence of an
increased risk of developing the disease . Free in the UK already requires doctors take blood pressure in both arms before diagnosing hypertension . Patients
should also ask your doctor or nurse check the blood pressure of both
arms , especially when concerned at the risk of blood pressure or
cardiovascular disease , " said senior nurse heart problems , Thembi

In addition to breast milk , many parents give to the water a little masib 0-6 months old . Either after breastfeeding or at any other time . In fact , the habit is very wrong because the risk of causing a variety of health effects .What are the dangers ? Here's an explanation Dr . Utami Roesli , Sp.A. , MBA . , CIML , IBCLC , of the Indonesian Lactation Center :
1. Bacterial Infections
*Provision of water in infants 0-6 months to make a baby at risk of bacterial infection if contaminated water used . Utami themselves have had experience , patients are about 1 month old , if the baby's mother reported frequent bowel movements up to a dozen even dozens of times a day .Her mother thought her son diarrhea due to illness , so that had been breast-fed , then given well water and formula . The result of normal infants who had diarrhea digestive actually infected with the bacteria .It is known from baby feces containing blood . Most likely , the infection arises because water intake was given his mother . Moreover, if the equipment is not hygienic drinking , also is not the right way to cook and has been contaminated with bacteria .
2 . Disturb Infant Brain
Kidney infants 0-6 months is not functioning properly , so that if he was given water , the water will bring art and electrolytes in the blood , such as sodium , which is actually useful to the body . If the deficiency , the risk of the baby having a seizure .The more electrolyte is " wasted " , the more negative risks that can be experienced . As a result , if the baby is spending a lot of electrolytes of all organs of the body , a good heart , kidney or lung disease , including the brain , the brain activity can be disrupted . Symptoms, low body temperature can be up to a seizure .
3 . Kidney Damage
Renal function as a regulator of fluid balance in the body is not complete in infants aged 0-6 months . Indeed, at 35 weeks gestational age , infant kidney is formed , but not yet functioning properly . So even after the baby is born . Although the kidneys are the perfect shape . This lasted until the baby is 6 months of age .Another case in children and adults , the kidneys regulate fluid intake is incoming to the output . For example , if a lot of drinking , the kidneys will be set up so berkemihnya often . Or, when cold, will be more frequent urination . Conversely , in hot weather , we tend to be less frequent urination .In essence , the kidneys regulate the balance of fluids / electrolytes in the body , such as sodium , calcium , and others . But if it happened when the kidney has not been given his perfect white water , the baby's body will be excess water or " poisoning " of water . Because the incoming water can not be balanced with expenditure.

Because of that , Jennifer insists , breastfed babies do not need to consume water . For infants 0-6 months enough milk .
