Posted by admin in Family Health, General Health, Guide tips on December 5th, 2009
The studies showing the immense benefits of physical activity on health are greatly increased. Their findings allow us to refine the recommendations. We are all different and we do not have the same tastes. At each spot advice most suited to his own case. In fact, everything depends on the level of inactivity, the time available, age, weight, of any illness, etc..
The ideal minimum rate of physical activity and sport
A gym session every two days is ideal to receive continuous benefits of physical activity on your health. It is a matter of impregnation hormone (insulin).
What type of physical activity?
Cycling, gymnastics, judo, tennis, stretching … any type of activity is beneficial. To motivate the most sedentary, we typically recommend a simple 30-minute walk three times a week. For subjects slightly more active, walking 30 minutes per day is the minimum target to achieve.
Walking yes, but at the right pace
So far, the intensity of physical activity did not seem very important. In other words, no need to practice a sport competition, just a walk. But a new study now indicates that whether the labor market at the expense of slow. This point was clarified in people aged over 65 years: people who walk more slowly have a higher risk of death by 44% to those who walk quickly (1).
All physical activities are combined in the day
The important thing is to move as often as possible. Thus all physical activities performed during the day are cumulative, even household activities like vacuuming, climbing stairs or gardening.
This point is particularly interesting to know for the most sedentary.
Exercise continuous or split?

For the heart, compared to a continuous exercise of 30 minutes, the exercises are divided (full intensity over short periods) the most effective, with a 30% risk of cardiovascular disease (2)!
According to Dr. Martin Juneau, director of prevention at the Heart Institute of Montreal, following the exercise type: make a stroke (or other exercise) at full intensity for 15 seconds, followed by a rest of 15 seconds, for 8 minutes. It is agreed then a break of 4 minutes, before starting a second time a block of exercises similar to the first 8 minutes. The exercises are split safely, but beware, the subjects heart should not immediately begin this exercise, but in practice prior to conventional activities and seek advice from their doctor.

Posted by admin in Family Health on October 5th, 2009
Throughout the life of your four-legged, it is not superfluous to offer him an occasional visit to vet even when not sick!
Indeed, the health check for animals is a thorough examination of your friend by your veterinarian. Thus, it can detect the presence of particular tartar on the teeth (and therefore the need for scaling), an eye discharge, skin lesions or to check the health of the ear canal. The visit of health for your dog or cat can also evaluate your pet overweight and weighed. This makes sure that his diet is neither too high nor too low in energy! Indeed, many animals suffer including overweight exposing them more to heart and joint problems and diabetes.

My child stutters, what to do?
Posted by admin in Family Health, Guide tips on August 5th, 2009
Why should we not expect him to stop stuttering?
Because although stuttering can spend alone is not always the case. When consulting for early stuttering, the rate of return to a fluid language in adolescence is 90%. However, if we do nothing, there will be 25% of children who continue to stutter. Knowing that this condition heals more easily it is caught early, why wait?
Should we go see a speech therapist for stuttering, even before 4 years?
Essential: the speech of elderly
Presbycusis: How you say?
Memory Disorders: how to know if Alzheimer’s disease?
Yes, ideally before age 4 and a half, because when we look at early, it often takes one to three sessions with the speech therapist to see the disorder disappear if not accompanied by other difficulties. Over the period of stuttering has been brief, the more chance it stops quickly is important. And it is mainly the parents who will see more than the child! In fact, parents need to know how to behave to help the child to leave his parents difficulté.Comment can they help their child not to stutter?
“Prevention, for four years and a half is the art of lowering tensions, to understand the suffering of children” said Anne-Marie Simon. Here are some tips:
- Do not play the fake indifference and do not pretend anything. The child stutters, he knows he suffers. If the problem becomes a taboo subject, he imagines that it is very serious because we can not even speak …
- Be a good listener child. Emphasize what he has to say rather than how he does it. Otherwise, the language becomes stressful for the child as a tool to handle well, and not a natural way to communicate. It can develop anxiety and distress at not being listened to what he is but what it does.
- Know you adapt the language of the child. It is still small, get within range. Use simple words.
- Do not speak too quickly, it’s hard to follow you. He stutters possibly because he tries to speak as fast as you!
- Do not ask too many questions burst, it will be difficult to understand due to time and even more to respond.
- Do not use a language too complex with long sentences.
- Do not always correct in his manner of speaking.
- Do not change the subject too often, it’s hard to follow.
- When he speaks, to answer what he says and does not speak his way of saying it.
Solving the Oedipus complex
I have a complex: how to survive?
Aging and driving: a complex debate
So is this the fault of the parents if their child stutters?
Not at all. In the same context, another child might very well not stutter. It may be a slight delay phonological as is the case for 40% of children with this difficult language. He may be anxious due to overheating emotional, separations, anger, frustration, desire for autonomy … It can also live in family events, sources of insecurity for him, moving, birth of a brother or sister, parents separated …
Nevertheless, one can not blame the parents. But they are not the cause of stuttering, they can be co-therapists with the speech therapist, if they would bother. Their efforts are mostly successful.

1. Proximity
Put yourself in the best conditions for success by focusing your license driving schools available near you, your place of work or study with class schedules or code of conduct tailored to your needs.
Tip: You can use Google Maps to find a driving school near an address
2. Success Rate
The success rate of the driving school to the driving test is an indication of the quality of training. Two precautions for using this information:
* This rate depends on locally to the social and cultural background of the candidates and the severity of the examiners. The relevant comparison is between two driving schools in the same sector
* A perverse effect of displaying this rate is selected by some driving schools candidates they present. Take contacts of alumni to see!
Record the approval number of the driving school is it that you will get the success rate with the prefecture.
Several rankings by success rates are available online:
* Awards 1000 best driving school French Auto Plus 06/08
* The classification of driving schools in the Nord Pas-de-Calais La Voix du Nord 02/09
3. Quality training
Listen to the opinions of students who have already started or completed their training. Avoid a driving school where others have known bad experience and prefer for your driving lessons instructor competent and motivated.
Some questions to assess:
* The opportunity to train regularly in traffic What are the times to review the code?
* How many sessions per week?
* The correction is it made by a monitor?
* The quality of coaching What was the behavior of the monitor while driving hours: Attentive and educational or absent?
* Should I monitor “referent”? Ie a monitor fixed or at least someone to go?
* The effectiveness of the preparation for the examination of driver’s license How Chess Exam code and conduct, and especially why?
* During the examinations passed, what was the success rate of the driving school?
* How many hours did you need to spend / pass the practical test?
* If applicable, how long did you have to wait to retake the exam?
Feel free to interview students in training, so that you do not answer your questions.
Emphasize driving schools that have signed the Charter of quality driving schools required to offer the license to one euro per day or took a quality as Qualicert.
Any training code must be performed by a certified instructor.
On average, for the B license, the price of a basic package 20H is 1200 € divided as follows:
Decomposition of the price of a basic package permits
4. Rates
Emphasize driving schools which clearly show their services and their rates.
Pay close attention to course content: code, conduct, presentation.
To effectively compare two driving schools, make a simulation taking into account 30 hours of training before the first passage of the permit.
Attention, unbeatable prices are not a guarantee of seriousness, quite the contrary. Beware of a driving school offering a package of 500 or 600 € is to say at a price below the cost of only 20 hours of mandatory training to drive (20 hours x 35 €).
As in all businesses, prices shown may be negotiated. Heads Up competition between driving schools and compare prices!
Some driving schools have a student discount.
5. Financial Health
Choose a driving school that lets you set a phased manner. In all cases do not agree to pay the full amount at the first appointment.
Verify that the driving school of your choice is not bankrupt or in receivership by example by going on the website Euridile.
Emphasize a driving school with financial security, such as those proposing the permit to one euro per day, signed the Charter of quality driving schools.
6. 321permis_voiture_auto-ecoleMatériel
Observe the quality (state-level maintenance, type) of material: vehicles, furniture, media code, local, etc.. A vehicle damaged, dirty or above may suggest a formation of low quality or even a critical financial situation.
As part of the motorcycle license, the material is of considerable importance:
• the school must provide all its students fluorescent vests when driving;
• when learning movement, the monitor must be connected by radio to his students. The materials should not suffer from any defect;
• during the learning stage, the bike-school must have a sufficiently broad and secure to acquire control of the bike drive in good conditions.
Stay in bed a while after artificial insemination
Posted by admin in Family Health on March 7th, 2009
This Dutch study was conducted among 390 couples who underwent fertility treatment, specifically an intra-uterine insemination (IUI). During this treatment, the treated sperm of man is introduced into the uterine cavity of his partner. This technique is standard procedure for couples where one has not yet determined the cause of infertility. On average, 10 to 12% of couples using artificial insemination to procreate at the first implantation of the egg. This figure further increased if multiple attempts.
Getting pregnant
As part of the Dutch study, half of the 390 women could move freely after each treatment. The other half would stay in bed for fifteen minutes. In the latter case, there was an increased chance of pregnancy. The successive treatments in the group of women to remain lying reached scores of 10%, 10% and 7%, against 7%, 7% and 5% in the other groupe.Quinze minutes rest after artificial insemination
This study was conducted by the Academisch Medisch Centrum Amsterdam under the direction of Inge Custers, who believes that “the Dutch hospitals should adapt their procedures so that all women can remain lying fourth hour after treatment . Even if such an arrest requires more time and more space, this measure provides long-term benefits, as pregnant patients should not continue treatment.
This approach has also a psychological reason, as explained by Dr Willem Ombelet of Fertiliteit Genk Institute for Technology in India, where some centers have already been specially designed to allow patients to rest. “As in the case of natural fertilization, it is always a little liquid that emerges from the uterus, which encourages women to believe that their chances of pregnancy are reduced. A second reason is that the doctor has time to explain procedures and expectations. And as Bedrust study has now shown to scale, but we supposed long ago, it also increases the chances of pregnancy. ”

Gravity plays no role
The positive effect attached to staying an extended time has, according to Dr. Ombelet, nothing to do with gravity. “We believe more in a decrease in the number of contractions in the uterus when the woman did not move. But there is no certainty about this.” The study indicates she therefore that women should stay in bed for a while in case of natural fertilization? “This has never been demonstrated so far, but in practice it is usually already applied the solution,” concluded the doctor.
laser hair removal
Posted by admin in Family Health on December 25th, 2008
The life of the hairs
Dr Catherine De Goursac: The hair cycle varies by area. It is for example 4 to 5 months on the face, but can reach 12 to 18 months or more to other parts of the body. We must understand that hair grows in bursts. To remove hair, it is important to exhaust every salvo, which takes time (several sessions spaced hair removal are required).
To also know that hair will decrescendo women: they have less and less hair from 25 years, a trend that progresses until the end of life. But in the face, the opposite happens: the hair growing from quarantine, particularly around the mouth. It is a hormonal phenomenon.
In men the hair also decrease with advancing age, especially on the arms and legs. In contrast, the hair tends to increase up to 40-50 years on the back and torso.
Thus, when we destroyed the hairs in a woman, they will not grow back (except hormonal problem, for example). In humans, they do not grow back, except on the back and torso, specifically in places where hair had never existed.
To eradicate the hair of any board, laser hair removal treatment is most effective (more effective than flash lamps or pulsed light).
What do you think of small personal laser epilators?
Dr Catherine De Goursac: You can buy, including the Internet, small laser epilators use yourself at home. But beware, their use may be risky. Indeed, they can work on areas where hair is in sharp decline, however, where the hairs grow, they may make them stronger and to stimulate hair growth. The greatest risk with these devices involve facial hair removal for women and areola and hair removal from the shoulders, back, ears and torso in men.
Why leads one to such a stimulating hair? Because these devices are not powerful enough. Result, they damage the hair instead of eliminating them, which strengthens them.
The beauticians were facing the same problem. Indeed, as they are not doctors, they do not have access to sufficiently powerful lasers. But any lack of laser power may stimulate hair growth instead of eliminating them. Thus, since July 2008, laser hair removal can be performed by a physician or to the rigor by a nurse and state under the supervision of a physician. How does laser hair removal?
Dr Catherine De Goursac: The heat produced by the laser destroys the hair root. The laser hair removal with a wavelength absorbed by the chestnuts, it produces energy when it encounters the color brown. Thus it destroys the hair at the root where the pigment concentrates. In contrast, the laser does not work on white hair, fair transparent, red, or on the down. Also note that the skin, even if it absorbs 30 times less than that of laser hair bubble, should not be too loaded with melanin pigment that colors the skin, the risk of burning. Hair removal laser skin very dull or bronzed is delicate. Ultimately, the ideal candidate for laser hair removal is a light-skinned brown-haired. In these conditions the best results are obtained.
Interview: No child under the sun!
Laser hair removal: to end definitively with hair
The sun: yes but …
How many laser hair removal sessions are required?
Dr Catherine De Goursac: The conventional procedure consists of 5 to 6 sessions at intervals of increasingly longer (6 weeks, then 2 months and 3 months apart). At first it is necessary to close the sessions, just before the regrowth of hair.
This approximation also allows sessions to circumvent our biggest problem, stimulating hair growth which occurs whenever the hair is only scratched and not destroyed. For sensitive areas (growing hair), very close sessions, high power, and with a very suitable material, can achieve good results.
At what age can you get laser hair removal?
Dr Catherine De Goursac: There is no set age. However, it was noted that the adult hair growth is not fully achieved before 20-25 years. Thus, for the same result, a girl under 25 years will do more laser hair removal sessions. Beyond 25 years, the number of sessions decreases.
What are the side effects of laser hair removal?
Dr Catherine De Goursac: Laser hair removal can cause burns in many ways. If the skin is tanned, the laser will target the melanin, the pigment of the skin and cause burns. Note that the melanin in skin is bronzed surface, while a matte skin naturally contains melanin in depth. Therefore, at equal color, tanned skin may burn more readily than dark skin.
Burns can also occur when dealing with difficult hair, that is to say risk of stimulation, because the laser power must be increased.
But practiced by experienced professionals, the laser is not dangerous because the risks are controlled and burns are benign (they form scabs that fall within a few days).
The other problem with laser hair removal is the result of failure, which occurs more often in people with hormonal disorders or who are highly razed before the meeting.
Note that in women who have significant facial hair due to hormonal disorder, a support treatment by social security is possible. This applies, for example young women who received hormone therapy (anti-estrogen) in breast cancer or women with polycystic ovaries.
Finally, when the laser hair removal does not work, it relies on small areas of electrolysis (a technique quite painful). That such a solution in cases of white hair, red or transparent resistant laser.
