Acne, wrinkles, dry skin or skin rash is actually an indicator of what is happening under the skin. But we are more likely to blame external influences such as dust, brown, or disruption weather as a cause of skin conditions.

A study revealed that adolescents experienced acne during exam season, 23 percent worse than any other time. The condition of acne is not known to be caused by excess production of oil glands but because of inflammation in the body.

Given the close connection between the skin with the emotional factor is not reduced then to beauty, skin care should be balanced with the emotional care to control stress. Prepare yourself to deal with stress and take a break for the body and mind to relax.

The use of the allegedly laroscorbine to whiten the skin, according to Dr. Ferdinand, Plastic Surgeon from Eka Hospital, in practice many are misguided.

In many cases, continued Ferdinand, in order to obtain maximum results quickly, unorthodox white needles are not conducted in accordance with medical indications. Not infrequently patients are assumed, the more injected, the quicker the white skin.

In fact, according to Ferdinand, it is one form of abuse. If passed, it could have a negative impact on other body organs.

"The effect is what? Kidneys are broken. Finally trouble again. So, eventually became a vicious circle," he said in Jakarta on Thursday (19/05/2011) yesterday.

Ferdinand explains, is a vitamin that has laroscorbine terapitid effect. "Vitamin C is only helpful to the melanin cells divide is not too aggressive," said Ferdinand.

Please note, melanin is the pigment grains that determine skin color (white, brown, or black). On dark skin, melanin content more compared with tawny skin. The process of making melanin is formed from tyrosine influenced by enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and so forth.

Ferdinand added, there are certain limits bleaching could not walk further. Maximum white level of skin a person usually can be seen on the upper inner arm.

"He was much for maximum whiteness. So, really silly if there are people who think injecting laroscorbine brown skin, black, white want to be a rich white china. Nah possible," he said.

Illegal Practices

Ferdinand also disclosed that during the many parties who are not responsible to take advantage of the ignorance of society. "Larascorbine and his friends were very cheap. You can can the price of Rp 10,000. But injecting it sold once the price is Rp 600,000. In fact, there are several centers that cost $ 1 million," he said.

Because land can be a profitable business, often abused by unscrupulous laroscorbine, either from public or medical personnel, who are tempted in thinking economically practical. They practice no longer based on medical indications.

Therefore, Ferdinand recommend to the people who are concerned with the problems of the skin to consult a competent person, in this case the skin specialist.

"Those who have the competence to explain in detail. Not the people who admit admit. Now a lot of people who admit admit because it's big business. So, please take it to a competent physician," he concluded.

Given the vitamin is a nutrient component that is very easily damaged, so the key word that must be considered in selecting vegetables is the level of freshness. Freshness vegetables are the most important parameters that will determine the quality of dishes, cuisine, durable power, and the acquisition of nutritional value. Technique choose fresh vegetables, vegetable groups distinguished by

Objectives Cooking
The purpose of cooking vegetables is: (1) describes the pectin contained in the cell wall for a soft texture, (2) kill the germs of disease, (3) for natural toxic compounds are inactive, (3) describes the pesticide residue is not harmful for the body, ( 4) convert complex compounds into simpler, making it easy to be digested and absorbed by the body.

Compared to the fresh ingredients, the cooking process can lower nutritional content. Therefore, the cooking process must be able to combine the two interests. First, the interests of the fulfillment of taste, and nutritional needs of both interests. Thus, the cooking should be regarded as a work of art, so that the cooked ingredients are not destroyed and lost his usefulness to the body.

Lalapan
Eat vegetables with sambal paste and pandan leaf-scented rice is still warm mengebul, an extraordinary pleasure for fans of Sundanese cuisine. Culture of eating vegetables is very good to be developed, because it is easy presentation and many benefits.

Broadly speaking, vegetables distinguished on raw vegetables and cooked vegetables. Types of vegetables are commonly used as raw vegetables are basil leaves, leaf-Pohan Poh, cashew leaves, kenikir, round eggplants, long beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage.

For cooked vegetables, generally using the materials carrots, squash, string beans, green beans, winged bean, cassava leaves, spinach, kale, pariah (pare) and cabbage. Judging from the acquisition of nutrients, raw vegetables contain more nutrients than cooked vegetables. But in terms of safety, raw vegetables is more risky than cooked vegetables.

The factors that need to be suspected in consuming raw vegetables are:
1. Pesticide residues. Cultivation of vegetables can not be separated from the problem of pests and plant diseases. To keep pests, farmers use pesticides of different brands. Harvesting vegetables should not be done when the vegetables sprayed with pesticides discharged, because the pesticide residues still left on the vegetables until several days after spraying, especially when dry. According to some studies, the waiting period between the last time the use of pesticides with a time of harvest of about 1-5 weeks. The waiting period depends on the type of pesticides used. The waiting period in which pesticides are systemic (absorbed into the material) were longer than pesticides nonsistemik (just stick to the surface). Pesticides that are hard to dissolve in water has a waiting period longer than the pesticide that dissolves easily in water.

2. Washing is not perfect. Various studies show that some chemicals in pesticides that are not lost due to leaching, especially when washing is not done with proper technique.

3. The quality of washing water. Clean water is water that is colorless, odorless and tasteless, and free of microbial pathogens. Unclean water sources are often contaminated by various contaminants, especially bacteria that cause infectious diseases such as typhoid bacteria Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysentery by dysentriae, cholera by Vibrio cholerae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis by. For more safe, wash vegetables with boiled water.

4. Harmful bacterial contamination. To improve soil fertility as a medium to grow vegetables, farmers often use organic fertilizer in the form of humus or manure (even human excrement.) Habit of defecating in the land of farmers, participated exacerbate the possibility of contamination of harmful bacteria into the vegetables. Especially vegetables spread on the soil surface or the height close to the ground. Examples of pathogenic bacteria derived from feces were Eschericia coli that can cause diarrhea, Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi cause typhoid fever. Salmonella can also cause stomach upsets, with symptom-defecate defecate, headache, vomiting and fever that lasts for 1-7 days.

5. Natural toxic compounds. Some types of food, containing natural toxic compounds, such as saponins in soybean, peanut, spinach, and asparagus; goitrogen on cabbage and radishes; cyanide in cassava leaves, solanine in potatoes, and others. Toxic compounds can only be eliminated through the process of washing and cooking with the right temperature.

No Need to Worry
To make the cooked vegetables, vegetables should be cooked first. Cooking vegetables to fresh vegetables to be done in such a way that textures are not destroyed. Cooking should be done with blansir techniques, namely softening materials by dyeing some time (about 5 minutes) at a temperature of boiling water, which was immediately doused with cold water (boiled) for heating does not continue. This is very good for cooking collards, cabbage, spinach, long beans, carrots, bitter melon and squash.

Because time is determined by the texture blansir fresh ingredients. Blansir should be performed for each vegetable, not mixed with each other. Vegetables should diblansir in one piece and the cutting is done after blansir process is complete.

Based on the description above, obviously safer to consume cooked vegetables than raw vegetables. However, we need not worry if it will consume raw vegetables, as long as the material is prepared in a hygienic and free of harmful contaminants. So far this has ever reported any cases of poisoning or death from consuming raw vegetables.

To further ensure safety, maintain our own as far as possible in your backyard or in pots, plants that can be used as vegetables. Thus we know exactly that the material is free from pesticides and harmful bacterial contamination from human feces.
