Sensitive teeth tend to be experienced by women and people who scalloped white

sensitive teeth "These conditions have an impact on their lives, and they tend to avoid some foods," said Dr. Joanna Cunha-Cruz, an assistant professor in the study. Food and drinks are cold, hot, sweet, and sour often trigger pain or soreness. But it is only temporary, not all the time. Sensitive teeth lasted only a few days and will return to normal thereafter. Sensitive teeth often occur when the enamel (the outer layer of the tooth) thinning.

The study involved 37 general dental practice in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Utah. A total of 787 adults surveyed. The results are published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, the March edition. The dentists in this study asking patients whether they had just bothered by the uncomfortable feeling to the teeth or gums such as pain or soreness. Then the dentist examines the patient to make sure their pain is not due to other problems such as cavities or gum swelling. Approximately 12 percent of patients experience pain or tooth sensitivity that is not associated with other problems, and thus they are diagnosed as people who have sensitive teeth.

Previous studies have reported that 1 to 52 percent of patients in general dental practice have sensitive teeth. The percentage difference could be due to differences in how the participants in this study screened. Some researchers directly ask them about sensitive teeth, while others were asked about specific causal like to drink cold water.

"It is not easy to generalize this, but there is the possibility of people who visit the dentist, 1 of 8 of them have sensitive teeth," said Cunha-Cruz.

An average of nearly 82 percent of study participants were predominantly white toothed, but there is still the possibility of tooth sensitivity experienced by other groups.

A dental expert who was not involved in the study, Dr. Richard Trushkowsky, saying "tooth sensitivity is universal, but some people can experience it depends on the foods they eat as food is acidic or alcoholic beverages."

The researchers found that adults between 18 and 44 years were 3.5 times more likely to have sensitive teeth than older adults. This is probably due to the material in the teeth called dentin can be thicker over time, protect the teeth better. Based on these studies, women tend to be 1.8 times more likely than men to have sensitive teeth.

However, a new study examining the relationship between housework and burning calories to say that the women in today expend less energy than the women of the past decades, which ultimately revealed one of the reasons why rates of obesity in women in this age much higher. The results are published in the journal PLoS ONE, January 2013.
Technology to be one of the factors the decline of physical activity housewife

The study looked at the diary of the women aged between 19-64 years, from 1965 to 2010, and in particular seeing their activity in the household chores such as preparing meals (including cleaning after meals), washing clothes, and cleaning the whole house. The women in the era of the 65's that doing household chores can burn 4663 calories known a week (660 calories per day), while in 2010 the figure dropped to 2806 calories per week (400 calories per day).

What happened? The researchers say that technological advances such as the presence of microwaves and dishwashers have made housework less physically active. The presence of other technologies such as television and computers also make women today spend twice as much time to interact with these technologies. Indirectly, it also triggers the women to sit longer than the cooking, cleaning floors, washing clothes, and other homework.

The presence of domestic helpers or assistants is also one of the factors decreasing the activity of housewives. However this can not be the benchmark as a whole, because there are many women in this modern era that still remain physically active by exercising regularly at the gym or at home. Moreover, previous research by the University of California showed that women in today spend more time caring for children than women of old, where it could have been much time, energy, and mind rather than doing homework.

Watching Too Much Television Risk Shorten Age

Spend your days in front of the television can shorten life, a new study shows.

Researchers in Australia found that people who spend their time for an average of 6 hours a day just to watch TV, have a lifespan of 5 years shorter than those who rarely watch television. For every hour of watching television in people aged 25 years and older, the age will be reduced by 22 minutes, according to a study led by Dr. J. Lennert Veerman of the University of Queensland.

But the bottom line is, other experts cautioned that the study does not show that watching TV may cause people to die sooner. This study only shows an association between the length of time watching TV with a short lifespan. Although a direct link between watching TV with the age of a person's life becomes shorter is a very provocative statement, but the danger of the TV almost certainly exist even if indirectly, said Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine.

Actually it is a sensible thing when the habit is too long watching television has a correlation with health problems. "The more time spent watching TV, the more time spent for snacking or eating while watching TV, and the less time is used for the sport," said Katz. "A lot of eating and less activity, the time will be at risk of causing problems of obesity, heart disease, and cancer".

Another explanation for this relationship is that people who watch excessive TV, tend to be people who are experiencing depression, stress, and loneliness. This in turn can be the answer to the real cause of premature death.

The report is published in the online edition of the British Journal of Sports Medicine last August 15. In the study, researchers used data from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, in which 11,000 people aged 25 and older, including survey information about how many of those who watch TV in a week. The researchers also used a national population and mortality.

In 2008, Australian adults watch TV for a total of 9.8 billion hours. People who watch TV more than six hours a day in the top 1 percent. Statistics show that watching too much TV as dangerous as smoking, the researchers said. For example, smoking can shorten the life expectancy of more than four years after the age of 50. That means the age of life will be gone 11 minutes for each cigarette, and it is equal to a half hours watching TV, the researchers said. Without TV, researchers estimated life expectancy for men would be 1.8 years longer and for women, 1.5 years longer.

"While we use the data of Australia, the effect in industrialized countries and other developing tend to be the same, considering the time spent watching TV and similar patterns of disease," the researchers said.

Dr. Gregg Fonarow, associate chief of cardiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that "there is strong evidence that spend a long time for sedentary activities such as watching TV and not use it for activities such as exercise, will have a negative impact for health. "

"Staying active and reducing time spent on passive activities such as watching TV, can be beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and may be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to improve cardiovascular health," Fonarow added.

This is demonstrated by the experts Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, United States, that someone less sleep tend to consume more calories, making them easier too fat.

The study involved 17 healthy young men and women. They were followed for 8 nights. They were divided into two groups, half of the participants were placed into groups with normal sleep time (control group), while the rest are placed in groups with bedtime only two-thirds (2/3) alone (Group lack of sleep).

During the study, all participants are allowed to eat as much as they want. And the results showed that participants who are in the category of sleep-deprived group on average consume 549 extra calories per day. The sleep-deprived group also burn less calories during the activity compared to control group.

Research shows that coffee causes an increase in blood pressure under stress situations for which no / rarely drink coffee, but in those who drink coffee regularly, their blood pressure is not affected by stress. However, a previous study in 1992, published in "Psychosomatic Medicine," found that 6 cups of caffeinated coffee a day increases the heart rate response to mental stress.

Stress Associated With Pregnancy
The third trimester of pregnancy is stressful for many women because of physical changes of weight, pressure on the internal organs, back pain, frequent urination and heartburn. A Japanese team studied the effect of coffee consumption on stress in pregnancy, is determined by the level of cortisol, or "stress hormone." The study, published in 2006 in the "International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics," found that the level of cortisol in pregnant women significantly reduced after consuming coffee.

A second study was not published at the University of Bristol in England found that caffeinated coffee consumption in the workplace makes men feel more depressed, although it tends to reduce stress for women.

Related Stress Less Sleep
