Flu During Pregnancy May Trigger Autism

 Birth of a child with autism can be caused by health conditions of pregnant women. Flu during pregnancy may trigger autism, especially the flu is transmitted. Doubled risk having a child with autism compared with mothers who did not catch the flu. Although the study did not demonstrate a causal relationship but experts say pregnant women should get the flu vaccine.

The study was conducted by a team from Denmark and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that analyzed more than 97,000 children aged 8-14 years who were born in Denmark between 1997 and 2003. Only one percent of the children were diagnosed with autism spectrum.

The research team interviewed the mothers about the presence or absence of infection and high fever during pregnancy and after childbirth, as well as whether they have ever put on antibiotics.

The question posed to mothers reached 200 questions to seek information about different types of infections during pregnancy.

Although the study was not designed for a case of the flu, but it turns out the women who claimed to have suffered from the flu while pregnant two times greater risk of having a child with autism. Those suffering from fever for a week before the third trimester, the risk of having a child with autism tripled.

Animal studies indicate infant brains infected when the mother's immune system during pregnancy to be active, such as fighting infection. This means that the mother's immune system may play a major role in the development of the baby.

"Research on the link between flu during pregnancy and autism are very attractive because of the scientific evidence in animals that autism is linked to immunological factors that affect infant brain development," said Dr. Susan Hyman, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics subcommittee autism.

However experts say the evidence that the flu during pregnancy triggers autism are less strong. Because it's women who have children with autism do not blame themselves.

"Quite a lot of the symptoms are mistaken for influenza fever and not all women infected with influenza virus notice. Addition, the link between antibiotics and autism has never been found," he said.

Provision of drugs during pregnancy is limited, but expectant mothers suffering from high fever or flu should not be afraid of seeing a doctor to get proper treatment.

In general, pregnant women can increase their immunity against illness by getting a flu shot and get enough rest. Flu vaccine is not only effective for the mother but also will protect infants until six months after birth.

Pollution Increase the Risk of Autism in Children

Autism that occurs in children is not clear cause and how to prevent it. Risks associated with autistic children, since children in the womb until the age of one year are exposed to air pollution from highways or other sources more prone to develop autism compared to children whose exposure to lower pollution. Pollution increase the risk of autism in children.

The researchers revealed that chemicals in pollutants will trigger genetic changes in the conditions of autism. Although it does not cause autism directly, but it does increase the risk.

"There is evidence that the immune system is associated with autism and pollution affected the same way," says lead researcher Heather Volk, assistant professor of the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles, USA.

In his research, Volks and his team analyzed the association between air pollution exposure in 279 children with autism were compared with 245 healthy children. The children were participating in a study on the risk of autism, genetic and environmental.

To measure the high pollution exposure in children, the researchers interviewed their mothers. While air pollution levels of water quality data obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Children who are exposed to high levels of pollution in the womb for two times greater risk of suffering from autism compared with children whose exposure is low. Meanwhile, children are exposed to pollutants from birth until the age of one year, mainly highway pollution, three times greater risk of developing autism.

Strongest relation to nitrogen dioxide is suspected or known to the smog (fog containing air pollutant).

Toxins from the environment that causes abnormalities in the function of the immune system that is associated with autism. According to Geraldine Dawson, an expert on autism, some research shows people with autism find any abnormal immune system.

Make up for medical purposes

Make up for medical purposes
Stylists each season offers a trendy make up, and a new palette to create it.
All changes can not keep track, but every woman, regardless of her mother-heroine from the African tribe or the Secretary of the U.S. president, know what make-up and simple ways of application.
Habit to paint the face appeared, probably at a time when our ancestors were covered by a fig leaf, planed wooden spears and ran for a mammoth, making animal sounds. In addition to all of this was a bright frightening face painting. So make-up has been created not to attract the opposite sex!


Times have changed. And cosmetics are used not only on the battlefield and before going on a hunt, and for medical purposes.
An interesting example of the use of make up for medical purposes was ancient Egypt, where the cosmetics did not ignore neither male nor female.
 It was used primarily to emphasize their status and beauty of the face, as well as to attract the opposite sex, and anti-bacteria.
In the journal Analytical Chemistry, scientists who have studied the issue of cosmetics and its importance in the ancient world, said that the Egyptians used a mixture of beauty to fight infections and diseases.
It was believed that the "magical makeover" using crude antimony is able to attract the patronage of the gods Ra and Horus, and protect against eye diseases.
In this case, there is an opposite opinion, they say, of what use cosmetics, which includes toxic lead compounds, can we talk?
Still, the healing properties of the "magic make up" the Egyptians have been proven!
Christian Amator the University of Pierre and Marie Curie and his colleagues studied the composition of cosmetic mixtures, the remains of which were found in the objects that make up the exhibition Louvre.


Among them, the scientists found four lead compounds, and found that these elements help to dramatically accelerate the production of nitric oxide tissue cells of the human body that stimulates the immune system and helps to cope with the disease.
Today in Egypt and all Arab countries "magical makeover" has not lost its relevance.
For the "magic make-up" cosmetic use treated antimony (Kohli, Kaya, kadzhal, kudzhal), which is produced in the form of black or gray powder and pencil. Due to its composition, it is a means of stimulating growth of hair eyelashes and eyebrows.
Gray powder is applied at night for internal mucosa of the lower and upper eyelid, after removing makeup. It helps relieve stress and remove redness.
Black antimony has the same properties, but it can be used for day and evening make-up, like a pen, and in the form of shadows.
So make up for medical purposes is possible not only in ancient Egypt!

Look at yourself in the mirror without fear

 Such a desire, I think, there is a minimum of 40 percent of women who see themselves in the mirror.
And in this case, size does not matter.
Small breasts can be as seductive and sensual, like a big - important the correct and regular maintenance, which includes the use of cosmetics and exercise.
Courting the chest, you can kill two birds with one stone: to make it supple and gives volume naturally.
So, get started!



Fit simple exercises: push-ups against the wall (just make sure Feel work the pectoral muscles), alternately pushing away from the wall with an offset to the left and to the right.
Daily care Breast skin is very delicate and subtle, so it requires regular and delicate care.
The first: Start caring about breast with choice of cosmetics designed specifically for the bust. It will be enough serum and cream. Use it twice a day, morning and evening. First apply the serum, and then a layer of cream or lotion, round and round them in the chest, including the nipple.


Avoid contact with warts and nipples, if in the number of active substances - it protects against irritation.
Apply cosmetics to the skin with light massage movements, the chest is better to use the horizontal motion in the form of eights. These techniques will help to improve blood circulation and accelerate the effect of cosmetics.
The second: Twice a week, use a mask. For greater efficiency wrapped up with cling film or foil.
Third: Every day, choose the time to do breast massage combined with peeling. To do this, take a little shower gel, containing fine particles skrabiruyuschie and massage the breasts in a circular motion.
This will help to prepare the skin for the absorption of beneficial ingredients of cosmetics.
Fourth:
Do not forget the douche: direct the flow of water from the bottom of the chest up, and then to the side - so you do modeling massage.


Fifth: If you are not going to help all of the above, then you can ask for help in the aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery.
I would still prefer to fix the shortcomings of the first four ways: its always closer to the body than the foreign implants.
Just make the effort - and you'll get the desired result!

How to stimulate the fat burning?

How to stimulate the fat burning?Exercise regularly, follow a diet and still can not lose weight? The problem in the metabolism!
To restore it, the following tips:Eat regularlyEat five times a day, every three hours, always on time.
 Studies have shown that people who consume 1100 calories per day in two meals, lose weight more slowly than those that consume the same amount of food for 5 receptions.


Also, due to the regular diet insulin levels remain stable, as a result, you will not be disturbed feelings of hunger and weakness.
No undershot Between five meals are allowed to drink only water and tea.

In The Spotlight: MAC Club Eye Shadow

Welcome to another edition of "In The Spotlight" and today we are featuring MAC Club eye shadow. When you google MAC Club, you come across mixed reviews about this shade and almost negligible reviews from Indian blogs. We Indians are I guess still exploring the possibilities with makeup and tend to walk on the safe path... Especially for products that cost the earth, we like to checkout reviews online extensively and look at swatches after swatches and then finally go with a shade that seems to be the most popular with all beauty bloggers... We all end up with similar shades of eye shadows like Naked Lunch, Mythology, Expensive Pink, Cork, Carbon Black, Folie, Texture, Rice Paper to name a few...

Now this doesn't quite work for me... Why, I don't know but it just doesn't... Now am not saying don't read reviews on beauty blogs, rather if I said that then I would be putting my feet on the "kulhari" myself :P But what I want to tell you all is that read reviews about a product, but check out swatches in person at the store... For example, review of one MAC eye shadow will be the same for all eye shadows! They are awesome! PERIOD... Browse through various EOTDs but swatch them on yourself before yo buy it cause when you go on a swatching spree at MAC you discover hidden jewels like Nylon, Club, Patina, Green Smoke, Ego, Honesty to name a few :)

So anyways, I got myself this magical eye shadow quite a while back and have even reviewed it here...
REVIEW OF MAC CLUB

The "magical" thing about this eye shadow is that on its own its a pretty, light mossy green eye shadow but when you apply it over a black base, then the shade of green that it takes on is just plain exotic and mysterious :)

Take a look at my EOTD below... It's an attempt at smokey eye and quite a good one that too... Yup I have always been the humble one ;) Now would you believe it if I said that only one shadow i.e. MAC Club has been used to create this smokey eye and no other eye shadow.. Not even black... Yes of course I have used a highlighter shade but thats it! The dimensions this eye shadow gives you is just unparalleled and I am totally smitten by it...

 
Do let me know what you think of the EOTD and the eye shadow :)

Australia, Cigarettes Without the Logo and Colors

 

Health News: In smoking prevention efforts, many countries are going to act, one Australia. Australia became the first country in the world to require plain packaging for tobacco products. Since that time, the cigarettes without the logo and colors, banned tobacco companies featured in the packaging.

Instead, the cigarette packaging there would be adverse effects picture smoking, and anti-smoking messages. Cigarette companies just got a little place at the bottom of cigarette packs to write down the name and its variants.

Anne Jones, antismoking activities, revealed that plain packaging would eliminate personality traits. "With plain packaging and a massive health message, the image of cigarettes as glamorous product that will disappear," he said.

Prior to this, cigarette packaging is the only medium for tobacco companies to advertise itself. Since 1976, tobacco companies banned from advertising on television and radio Australia. Prohibition of advertisements in newspapers and magazines followed in 1989.

Cigarette companies are also prohibited from sponsoring sports and cultural events since 1992.

Regulation of plain packaging has long been a target of the Australian Government. The effort was led by Nicola Roxon, the health minister at the time, whose father, Jack, died of diseases caused by smoking when he was 10 years old.

Government "State Kangaroo" was also determined to reduce the number of smokers from 16 percent in 2007 to less than 10 percent by 2018.

In May 2011, the board issued a study on cancer Australia plain packaging on cigarette packs. The results of the study showed that packs big role to persuade teens to try smoking.

Australian Government's decision was opposition from the tobacco industry. Consortium of major tobacco companies, such as Philip Morris, Imperial Tobacco and British American Tobaco (BAT), come together to make a plan against the decision.

"Plain packaging has been misconstrued and it's not going to stop because the brand of cigarette smokers will still appear. Addition, the tobacco companies will also seek to remain competitive, partly by cutting prices," said Scott McIntyre, spokesman for BAT.

Besides Australia, the UK, France, Norway, India, and New Zealand are also planning to implement plain packaging cigarettes.

Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in Grapefruit Jelly Review

Hey All,
I am feeling super lazy today from the morning. I was just swatching some blushes and lip glosses, walking around the house to click pictures in different light settings :P without doing any other work. (Signs of a beauty blogger huh) Finally, after the swatch works got over, I washed my face to clear my skin. So after that when I opened my beauty case to find a moisturizer, this cutie caught my eyes. Yes! It was sleeping there since I got this in my hand. No, I don't mean that it is a not-so-good product but I didn't use it much from when I got this from Cosmetic Love (A Korean online shopping site for beauty and makeup products) This lovely cookie blusher in Grapefruit Jelly shade from Etude House owns a cute name, packaging and shade.

My Experience with Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in Grapefruit Jelly:

Packaging: This is one of the most cutest blushes I own! It comes in a round, soft pink plastic blush pan with a frosted semi transparent lid that shuts tightly. They have provided a cute white puff applicator with this blush and I love it the most. The puff is so soft and has a tiny pink bow on the top of it. Though it looks cute, it is not that useful when it comes to application of the blush. I would suggest a good quality blush brush anytime.

Colour, Texture & Pigmentation: I have no clue why they have named this shade as Grapefruit Jelly but from my view, it looks as a nice matte pink shade which has a slight hint of coral (more on the paler side) with no glitters or shimmers. It is not that chalky but settles matte. This shade looks super natural and is averagely pigmented. And I forget to mention one thing; this blush is fragrance free!

Swatch:

How it works: Though I loved this blush's packaging, shade and etc, this is not MY shade. I have a dusky-dark skin and it washes me out :( Unlucky me. This shade grapefruit jelly, though looks natural is more on the paler side thus making it not so suitable for darker skin tones. The shade on the swatch is just untrue to how it looks on the pan. This blush gives a natural pink shade to fairer cheeks.(Just pink and nothing else) It doesn't even show up on me and if I try to over build, it washes me out! Even though it doesn't suit me, I wore it a whole day to test the staying power etc. This blush stays good for 5-6 hours (It doesn't show up on me much so I am not sure about this part) and then fades away evenly. If you're fair skinned, you can go for this blush. Those who own a pale white skin can use this blush to give a beautiful natural pink flush to their cheeks! Overall, I would say this is a good natural pink blush for the price. They provide a huge quantity too.
