Some people let their pet dog or cat climbed into bed, and even sleep together.Although clean, the existence of the beast in bed still leaves some problems.
According to a survey in the United States, nearly half of dog owners in the country are sharing a bed with a pet. Whereas in cats, 62 percent of adults sleeping with an employer and 13 percent of the employers of children.
Quoted from WebMD on Thursday (02/06/2010), the most common problem when people sleep with a pet is asthma and allergies. According to an allergy specialist from Louisville, Derek Damin, asthmatics should not take the animal to sleep in the same bed.
"Use a HEPA filter and do not let dogs into the bedroom," advises Damin.
But the animal lover would be hard to accept this recommendation. Especially for the group, Damin suggested mengoksumsi allergy medications if they have to sleep with a pet.
Sleep Disorders
The next problem is a sleep disorder. Research conducted by a sleep disorder center Mayo Clinic study reveals, 53 percent of dog and cat owners have trouble sleeping if the pet was in bed.
Recruited Northshore Sleep Medicine, Lisa Shives agreed if the presence of dogs in the bed will be a problem for people with sleep disorders. In these conditions, he does not recommend the employer's dog in the room.
"But if not problematic sleep patterns, one should not take the dog to sleep in the same bed," said Shives, who also admitted to sleeping with a dog weighing 45 pounds in his room.
For some people, dogs actually make sleep more soundly. Candace Hunziker for example, dog owners from Kennesaw, admits more secure and protected when there is a dog in his bed.
"Besides my dog with a very rhythmic breathing, and I was greatly helped by it," Hunziker said.
As uncomfortable Sex
The most complex problems will arise if the animal owner is married. When there is a dog in bed, how the owner had sex with their partner?
Elizabeth Smith, author of Golden Anniversaries: The Seven Secrets of Successful Marriage says it depends on the owner. In fact, some couples are not having problems with it.
"But most have the dog out, so as not to see them having sex," said Smith.
But of course it is not easy to expel a pet, if it had previously been accustomed to the bedroom. However animals can hurt if you feel unjustly treated.
Dog trainer with a worldwide reputation, Victoria Stilwell said it should be done patiently. By training the dog slowly and occasionally give him praise, positive results could be obtained within two weeks.
Meanwhile, a pet consultant in Marietta, Ingrid Johnson suggested to firmly socialized early on. Animals, especially cats only recognize the principle that the door will be open forever, or permanently closed.
Men are creatures that attract women, sometimes women are willing to do anything to attract attention. But not just for people who have a phobia of men (androphobia).
Androphobia is an abnormal fear that occurs continuously against men. In most cases this condition is caused by a traumatic event, such as never seen his mother abused physically, verbally or been victims of rape. This will be closely related to the fear inherent in the person's memory.
Phobia against this man could have an adverse effect on the lives of one's personal and professional work, so most of the patients androphobia choose to live alone without doing any psychological treatment. Although people can live a normal life, but probably never know what kind of a wedding.

As quoted from eHow, Friday (06/04/2010) there are several symptoms that accompany a androphobia if you see a man:The fear of an irrational manPanicSuch feelings arise terrorizedThe heart suddenly beats fasterDifficulty breathingTrembleAnxiety and often avoid certain things associated with men.
Although phobias are relatively harmless, but fear it could hinder a person's possibilities to get happiness and success.

If someone drooling during sleep will certainly make sleep uncomfortable. Saliva from the mouth is sometimes difficult to be prevented, so that makes people become embarrassed when awakened.
This condition may be frequently found in babies who would grow teeth, so that the baby will be drooling during sleep or while awake. But it would be different if it occurs in people who are already adults.
Most people will realize it after waking up, or woke up to find a pillow that has been wet.Drooling during sleep can be a normal phenomenon or it could also result from certain medical conditions that can increase saliva production. However it certainly can be embarrassing if the person is known by others.
Drooling also called sialorrhea, which is a condition experienced by millions of people in his sleep every night. This occurs when a person is dreaming or at rest.
As quoted from eHow, Friday (06/04/2010) one of the causes of the condition of drooling while sleeping, dry mouth is caused by triggering the production of excess saliva. In addition there are also several other conditions, namely:Sleeping with your mouth open. Sleeping with this condition causes dry mouth more quickly because moisture is lost from the mouth. This triggers the saliva in the mouth to get out, so get people drooling.Side effects of drugs consumed. Some drugs sometimes have side effects like dry mouth or cause a disturbance in the glands that produce saliva in charge.A problem with the teeth, such as infection of the teeth or gums that affects the person's saliva.Having abnormal oral anatomy, such as the tongue is too big, teeth that are too tightly or enlarged lymph gland.
To overcome this one must know beforehand what he causes drooling during sleep.The best way to reduce this condition is to avoid the side sleeping position, because this position will drive the jaws to open, causing an open mouth during sleep.
If the cause is a medical condition, it could not hurt to consult a doctor. If the amount of saliva released is excessive, then the doctor will prescribe medication to reduce the amount of water produced by the salivary glands. However, administration of these drugs should be prescribed because it can cause dehydration.
Fish oil has many benefits for children and adults. Fish oil provides good protection for health. But if eating too much fish oil actually harm the body.

1. Internal Bleeding
Excessive doses of fish oil can cause internal bleeding. The bleeding can be a bruise, which indicates a leakage of blood under the skin. The bruised area may also swell due to accumulation of blood under the skin.
Other signs that indicate leakage of blood in the body is the change in stool color.Stools are usually brownish yellow, will turn black.

High speed, vertical trajectory extreme terrain and long may make the sport of mountain bike mountain bikers aka riskier than football, diving or cheerleading. Mountain bike riders more at risk of spinal disorders.
These findings warn that using the two-wheeled vehicle on a dangerous path is very risky to the spine. One of the six cases considered serious enough to cause severe paralysis.
"People need to know that mountain biking activities that they choose to have a unique and specific risks," said Dr. Marcel Dvorak, University of British Columbia in Canada, as reported from Health24, Tuesday (08/06/2010).
Previous research has explained about the various injuries suffered by mountain bike riders. But no one has ever evaluated the specific risk of spinal injuries in mountain bikers.
Patients average age was 33 years, and of these only two riders who do it for recreational purposes. These findings have been reported in the American Journal of Sports Medicine.
The research team was able to calculate the risk of injury to the spine on the mountain bikers. But the researchers speculate that during the study period of 13 years, the annual figure showed an incidence of 500,000 in British Columbia. 4 percent of patients with spinal cord injury.
Two-thirds of mountain bikers need surgery. In fact, 40 percent suffered the worst injuries, ie spinal cord injury. And of that number, more than 40 percent suffered total paralysis.
"Broken wrist and the face is the most common. But more severe spinal cord injuries, with long-term consequences are deeper," Dvorak added.
According to him, most of the cyclists were injured due to loss of control over the handlebars of a bicycle or a precipitous fall from a height of Yeng. Of the two cases, often resulting in serious impacts to the head that trigger trauma in the neck and spine.
Surprisingly, researchers found no association between wearing helmets and severity of injuries suffered by bikers. "Helmets can prevent injury to the head, but can not protect your neck," said Dvorak.
Moreover, this unique exercise conducted in the field is really difficult to reach by medical personnel, such as in the jungle or remote mountain areas.
As a result when an accident, an ambulance or even helicopter would be difficult to access area so that takes a long time to be able to help these bikers.
During this time of folic acid is known as one of the vitamins that are essential for the growth of the baby. But it turns out folic acid may also help prevent disorders and depression.
It is based on two trials involving approximately 1,000 people with a daily dose of folic acid. One study conducted by the University of Oxford to find out whether vitamins can prevent depression in young people. While a second study conducted at Bangor University, North Wales involving adults who have moderate to severe depression.
As quoted from Dailymail, Wednesday (09/06/2010) research results showed that a third of people with depression have low levels of folic acid, and also the greater deficiency of folic acid suffered the symptoms of depression will also be more severe.Besides those who have low folate levels, have less response to antidepressants.
Several studies have found that depressed patients to be deprived of folate. Chances are many people who are depressed tend to eat less food, this causes a person to lack a lot of vitamins and minerals including folic acid.
A study contained in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that a sufficient amount of folic acid needed by the brain to work properly. If the brain is deprived of these substances can cause a higher risk of depression and antidepressant drugs worsen the response.
Also in a study published the American Journal of Psychiatry, a group of researchers gave the drug fluoxetine (Prozac) in 213 patients with depressive disorders. After eight weeks of fluoxetine administered, patients with low folate levels were significantly likely to show an increase of drug therapy. Folic acid combined with fluoxetine could be an effective initial treatment for depression.
Folic acid is needed to make DNA, RNA, cell build up and quite active in the brain in the central nervous system. This affects the production of certain essential compounds and neurotrnasmitter substances that carry messages to different parts of the brain.
One theory which allows the relationship between depression and folate is low folate levels cause the SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) is also low which can lead to depression due to an interruption in the brain.
Depression is a serious condition that requires ongoing treatment with the methods of talk therapy, medication use or both. The discovery of the relationship between folic acid and depression is still quite new, so further study is needed to make it into a guide.
Related to that, a survey ever conducted by the Women's Health Resource Center, of1,200 women in America. The goal is to uncover the myth of what is generally believed to be women from different generations
Here is a myth that unfold in three age groups, cited in Prevention, Monday(14/06/2010).
Age 20-44 years
This group tends to say, "I do not need an antidepressant, because I can lean on afriend who will help you through this."
In fact, sometimes it takes more than just vent (confide) on a friend to overcomedepression.
"Friends and family are key in recovery. But to someone who is experiencing seriousdepression, the best solution is to talk therapy as well as supported by theadministration of antidepressants," said Vivian Burt, a professor of psychiatry from theDavid Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Age 45-59 years
This group tends to say, "It's okay, this is only the impact of the menopause".
Hormonal changes can indeed trigger a mood or mood fluctuations. Although the causeis menopause, according to Burt, it's not a reason not to treat.
"Menopause can indeed lead to depression, but whatever the cause is someone who isdepressed still need a solution," said Burt.
Age 60-69 years
This group tends to say, "The best option is to not burden anyone else with this problem".
In addition to the therapist, talking to friends or people nearby will help overcome thegrief.
"There's always a stigma about depression in women in this age group. As a result theyfeel shy to tell a story, thus requiring social support," said Burt.
