Happy hormones are chemicals with a structure very similar to opioids, but without the negative effects are produced by the body itself.

There are about twenty different types of endorphins, which distributed throughout the body. Some charge that there is communication between neurons and are located in the pituitary gland.

Endorphins cause satisfactory situations produce strong analgesia and stimulate the brain’s pleasure centers, helping to decrease feelings of pain, since they act as analgesic, and eliminate discomfort.

In response to multiple sensations, the body produces endorphins, sensations such as pain and stress influences the release of sex hormones, appetite, and strengthening the immune system. When we feel pleasure, these hormones are multiplied and send messages to the brain, lymphocytes, and other defense cells.

As noted above, when performing actions pleasurable endorphins multiply and improve the mood of the people and the attitude, for example, generates a feeling of wellbeing and vitality when it comes to physical exercise, also with touching, hugging, kissing, sex and laughter, which influences the immune system and brain.

In the therapeutic approach to cancer there are many references that indicate the desirability of supplying herbal products able to moderate the adverse effects of cancer drugs.

One of the cancer drug most widely used is methotrexate, which also used in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. The adverse effects of this substance are due to production of free radicals, which tend to inhibit enzymes nicotinamidaadenosina providing hydrogen diphosphate (NADPH), which is used by the glutathione system, important for neutralizarradicales free and pro-oxidant substances various tissues.

The present study tended to show the protective capacity of lycopene in rats 28 rats, 14 of which were pretreated with lycopene and 14 with saline for 12 days. Between 11 and 12 fueron taken 7 rats from each group which were given methotrexate. Subsequently, enzyme systems and observed their testicular tissue and duodenum (very sensitive to methotrexate). When finished it was found that the group of rats who received methotrexate and lycopene showed a lot less damage in testis and duodenum compared to saline group, showing a persistence of hepatic glutathione system capable of neutralizing the toxic effects of methotrexate.

We conclude that the lycopene content in tomatoes may be a useful element to counter adverse effects of methotrexate.

Not something that is impossible for a woman aged 20 – or 30′s to experience premature aging of the skin. Free radicals such as exposure to direct sunlight, stress and environmental pollution becomes an important factor in skin aging.

Other factors such as smoking, alcoholic beverage or an unhealthy diet also affects the damage to your skin. As a result, skin loses its beauty and begins to show physical features of premature aging. Here are the signs of premature aging of the skin that you should beware.

1. Wrinkled
Signs of the easiest to see of course is the starting wrinkled skin. American Academy of Dermatology explains these wrinkles appear due to the sun, and getting worse if you smoke. Exposure to free radicals will damage the DNA in the skin up to the cell membrane. Collagen and elastin, proteins that are useful for skin health and beauty, more and more damaged the skin resulting in starts sagging and loss of elasticity. Hereditary factors, such as genetics and race, in fact also affects how quickly one’s wrinkled.

2. Blackish stains
Blackish stains, or so-called age spots, will appear with a darker color than the surrounding skin. According to the National Institutes of Health, age spots commonly found in humans that has been aged above 40 years who spent much of his time in the sun. It usually appears in the arms, hands, face, forehead and shoulders (just the parts that are easily exposed to direct sunlight).

3. Rough skin texture
The other issue that marked the premature aging is the skin texture becomes rough. Collagen and elastin will be damaged if it kept getting exposure to sunlight. Collagen is useful to maintain strength and elasticity of the skin, while elastin will make the skin firm and flexible. Too many are under the sun will make the skin look dry and rough.

4. Dilated pores
The pores are enlarged as well as the associated signs of premature aging. The more a person gets older, the pores will be even greater due to the buildup of dead skin. Enlarged pores can be overcome by diligent skin care that includes removal of dead skin cells.

Never underestimate the disease is not contagious. Because the disease is not contagious, it becomes the cause of death in the world. “People should be vigilant to the disease is not contagious,” said Head of Prevention, Management and Environmental Disease Bogor City Health Department, Eddy Darma, Wednesday (7 / 12), while Non-Communicable Diseases Control Seminar in Bogor City Hall.

Eddy who was asked as a seminar speaker said, the trend of people with communicable diseases in the world growing increasingly. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, in 2020 the cause of death from non-communicable diseases will reach 73 percent of all causes of death.

Eddy said to qualify as a disease is not contagious but it is dangerous heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Such diseases are usually caused by the behavior or an unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking man, consuming excess sugar, supine exercise, and consuming alcohol.

In the same occasion Administration Assistant for Social and Development Secretariat of the city of Bogor, Edgar Suratman said, in developing countries such as Indonesia, the pattern of a person’s death has shifted from infectious to noninfectious diseases.

Edgar conveys, from the data in 2010, stroke, high blood pressure and heart topped cause someone’s death. Where the cause of death from heart disease and high blood pressure reached 197 people and 119 people from a stroke. “They must have a healthy lifestyle to avoid disease is not contagious,” he said.

It turned out that stress could cause digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), disorders that cause abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea.

Scientists claim that people often experience psychological trauma during their lifetime were more likely to have IBS. Trauma in this example the death of a loved one, divorce, experience a disaster or car accident.

“In addition, 50 percent of patients with IBS, also known to have experienced sexual harassment” explained Yuri Saito Loftus, researcher of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

According to Yuri, this is the first study to see how the forms of trauma can affect the level of a person develops IBS.

The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but researchers suspect that the nerves and muscles that control bowel are disturbed. While the state of excessive post-traumatic stress activates nerves that connect the brain and intestines, causing severe intestinal problems.

Yuri and his colleagues also conducted a survey on 2623 people about the number and types of traumatic events they experienced in their lives. Participants with IBS also reported experiencing more severe trauma.
