Then masturbation was considered to protect against cancer, particularly for men. Several studies have shown that men who regularly have sex or masturbate a lower risk of developing prostate cancer. Mainly due to the release of toxins from the prostate gland during ejaculation.

Not only that, two researchers from Australia is also argued masturbation can prevent a person affected by depression. Not because when orgasm, someone produces endorphins which is identical to the ' happiness ' and resulted in an increase in the hormone cortisol, which can strengthen the immune system.

" In men it can cause cancer of the penis but not too big. Among women 99 percent of the causes of cervical cancer, but the guy who finished 42 percent of penile cancer. Having said that, men also need to be vaccinated with HPV, the vaccine together with women, " said Dr. Fitriyadi.

Although HPV can be attached to the skin or genital organs of men, but the virus is not going to be as dangerous as when it is in the cervix ( neck of the womb ) women. This is because the cervix is more sensitive to the HPV virus or penile skin than men.

Experts say that a lack of physical activity causes women at high risk of developing various types of cancer. That's what experienced by women in the UK. Britain is a country with cases of colon cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer and the tenth highest of 180 countries in the world.

What is the relationship between lack of physical activity of women with high cancer cases in the UK ? Experts say that the lack of physical activity that causes women to soaring cases of breast cancer, colon cancer, and cervical cancer in the UK. As reported by the Daily Mail, Monday ( 06/01/2014 ).

"It reflects the lifestyle of most people in western countries. Majority of us spend too much time to sit around and not being offset by physical activity in their daily routines. " said Dr. Rachel Thompson of the World Cancer Research Fund.

Researchers estimated that 12 percent of cases of colon cancer and breast cancer could be prevented if people were more physically active. Moderate cases of cervical cancer can be reduced by 10 percent if women are more physically active.

To avoid contracting the three types of cancer, women are advised to perform moderate physical activity for 150 minutes in a week. Examples are gardening. With such activities, can be more slender body while cutting hormone that triggers cancer is caused by fat.

"Regular activity can help strengthen the immune system, keeping it healthy hormone levels, also keep digestion in good condition. All it can help reduce the chances of cancer, " said Dr. Thompson.

However, only a few women who do enough physical activity. In the UK, only 36 percent of women are able to meet these targets. According to statistics, breast cancer, colon cancer, and cervical cancer whack 133 per 100,000 people in the UK.

Barbados is the country with the most cancers and the Bahamas was ranked ninth . But according to Dr. Thompson , the data from these two countries is less valid when compared to data from Western Europe and America . That caused the UK ranked eighth , under Belgium , Denmark , the Netherlands , France , Iceland , Luxembourg , and the United States.

Last year , researchers in the U.S. found that women who walked for one hour per day can slash the risk of breast cancer later in life . Vigorous physical activity they even have double protection . Therefore, women should continue to exercise regularly to avoid cancer .

" We already know that being active can reduce the risk of breast cancer in women , " said a spokesman of Breakthrough Breast Cancer .

The spokesman added , " We recommend to perform mid-level physical activity for 30 minutes in a day , or 3.5 hours per week . Was able to reduce the risk of breast cancer , at least 20 percent . "

According to the spokesman , regular brisk walking is the easiest way to keep women from cancer . Because every physical activity that increases the pulse rate can reduce the risk of cancer , including walking can be done anytime and anywhere for free . Well , regular walking is the most clever way to prevent cancer.

Baltimore, Breast cancer is one of the diseases that target women. If the cancer has spread, the risk is death or surgical removal of the breast. However, for patients who have severe, recent research has found a way for the cancerous tumor can not grow. One is always sufficient oxygen levels in the body.

Research conducted by the John Hopkins University in Baltimore said that the low oxygen levels in the body will trigger the production of proteins that make the tumor develops. This study aimed to examine the influence is there any body in the process of developing the dangerous tumors.

Cancer of the breast, lung, bone, and liver, including the type of disease that is difficult to handle. Because these tumors tend to move from its original place. The process is called as metastasis, the biological process in which cancer cells spread to other body systems.

Gregg Semenza, professor of medicine involved in the study, said that the breast cancer cells growing as a result of anticipating body hypoxia or lack of oxygen. When being starved of oxygen, the body will release RhoA and rock1 that can make healthy cells to adapt, but also led to the development of breast cancer.

" When tumor cells spread, in part because the tumor will not run out of oxygen supplied by blood vessels. Thing that makes the body sends a signal lack of oxygen, and finally removing these proteins, " he said as quoted from medicaldaily on Monday ( 30/12 / 2013).

Laboratory test results showed the same thing. According to Daniele Gilkes, a team of researchers from the same university laboratories, lack of oxygen will make the cancer tissue release called parallel filaments. This network serves to grip the outer surface of the cancer and make it spread.

Gilkes stated that research has successfully proved that the spread of breast cancer can be prevented by creating a state of oxygen deficiency as seldom as possible. The hope is that there will be further research to understand the effects of drugs on the development of protein RhoA and rock1.

Breast cancer is the second most vicious cancer in the United States. It was reported that 200,000 women developed the disease, and 40,000 of them die every year. Meanwhile, one in eight women have expressed the cancer.

Antibiotics are an organic material derived from microbes that are toxic and can inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. High value in the treatment of infectious diseases, especially in the selective toxicity, which was shown to cause the disease, but not to the infected host. It has been proven now that many classes of antibiotics showed their toxicity due to the fact that selectively target is a structure (function) that special either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells.

Antibiotics are all chemical compounds produced by living organisms or obtained through synthesis that have a high index of chemotherapy, and the manifestation of its activity occurs at very low doses. As well as specifically through inhibition of vital processes specific to the virus, microorganism, or a variety of single-celled organisms compound. In terms of workability, antibiotics can be distinguished in a group of bacteriostatic antibiotics and antibiotic bakterisidik. The first group inhibits bacterial growth and development. Being the second working group of the deadly bacteria.

In general, antibiotics are issued bakteriosida effects on susceptible organisms by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, cytoplasmic membrane damage, inhibits the biosynthesis of proteins and inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acids. Penicillin is an antibiotic produced by Penicillium notatum. Penicillin has the advantage of being very prominent in removing lethal action on susceptible organisms by inhibiting cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis of the bacterial cell wall of the microorganism thus formed will eventually weaken the bacteria can be deadly.

1. Red Onions
Red onions contain sulfur which is believed to contain many antibacterial and diuretic substances. Syrup or drugs made from onion efficacious as ekspekstoran that help remove mucus from the bronchi, lungs, and trachea.
