Reduce light while you sleep
Unfavorable effect of light sleep may still sound foreign to some people. In fact, habit of sleeping with lights on in room is not good for health.
Each color of light can give a different effect. For example, a blue light during day can have a positive effect on mood and improve concentration. However, if you are often exposed to blue light at night, this light can actually interfere with quality of your sleep.
Actually, it's not only light when sleeping at night which is considered less good. Emission of light or light from screen of electronic devices, such as cellphones, televisions, laptops, or computers, also has same effect.
This is because emission of light on body at night can actually inhibit formation of melatonin. Melatonin is body's natural hormone that plays an important role in getting quality sleep. When body does not produce enough melatonin, it can lead to sleep disturbances and general health problems. For this reason, melatonin levels need to be maintained, one of which is by minimizing the emission of light during sleep.
Your sleep quality can deteriorate from exposure to too much light or blue light from electronic devices. Poor sleep quality or lack of sleep over time can make you vulnerable to depression. Unfavorable effect of light sleep also does not only occur in adults. In children, exposure to light can make them sleepless and more hyperactive.
Poor sleep quality can also make a person tired easily, have difficulty concentrating, and not focus on activities next day. This is usually more prone to occur in the elderly. Lack of concentration and drowsiness due to not sleeping well are also dangerous for drivers or machine operators because they can cause work accidents.
If habit of sleeping with lights on is not immediately stopped, a person can also become more susceptible to various chronic diseases. Insomnia in long term can increase risk of cancer.
In order to avoid sleep disturbances due to light beams on lamps or electronic devices, you should turn off all light sources including cellphones and TV. If you need a night light, use a red or yellow one with dim lighting.
Ideally, a comfortable bedroom should have minimal lighting or even dark, cool, and clean. However, if you are uncomfortable or afraid to sleep in a dark room, you can try therapy to overcome your phobia of darkness.
This is a photo documentation that took place two weeks ago, in front of my parents' house which was flooded by rain due to effects of extreme weather that is still hitting my area.
It rained for two days at once caused water to flow out of control so that it flooded road in front of house, we were lucky because we had good soil in terms of water absorption so that flood did not last long, only about twelve hours flood water had been absorbed by soil.
Enjoying a cup of warm coffee accompanied by steamed putu cake, wow it tastes very good.
Traditional snack of putu cake is indeed very legendary. When I was child, in late afternoon, we would often enjoy putu bamboo cake, which seller passed by in front of my house. It's a shame that nowadays it's hard to find sellers of putu bamboo cakes.
However, today I am in luck. I met a putu bamboo cake seller who passed by in front of my house. Without thinking, I immediately bought and immediately made my favorite black coffee to accompany my putu bamboo cake that I bought.
Hmmmm,,,, very very delicious.
Don't hold your fart!
Holding fart is usually done to avoid embarrassment of being in a public place. Be careful, if you do this often, it can trigger discomfort, bloating, and digestive problems.
When body has excess gas in digestive system, there are only two places to expel gas, one of which is buttocks. This process of expelling gas is known as farting. Actually, farting is a process that occurs naturally in body of every human being. In fact, most people fart five to 23 times per day.
However, some people may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable because they pass gas more often. Maybe because you are in a public place or gas released has an unpleasant smell. As a result, these people will hold their farts and unknowingly this can become a habit that is bad for health.
How long a person can hold a fart is not same. There are several factors that influence this, including food and drink consumed, hormone activity, and medical conditions. However, holding in a fart traps gas in your intestines, making it continue to build up and put pressure on colon wall until you find a way to expel it.
Holding a fart does not trigger serious and dangerous health effects or effects. Even so, letting go of farts is better than holding on to them. The most common impact of holding a fart is increased pressure on intestines which can become painful. The pain can be mild to stabbing and sharp.
Bloating occurs when gas gets trapped in intestines which causes stomach to become distended. Not only can it make you look like someone who is overweight, but it can also make you feel uncomfortable about dressing and feel insecure.
The best thing to do when you feel like you need to pee is as simple as expelling it. Maybe your fart will sound noisy or even smell bad, but it is one of the body's functions that must be normalized.
You can't get rid of farts. However, you can reduce number of farts your body produces. First step to reducing gas is to find out what is causing it. Avoiding gas-causing foods for a few weeks may help. You can start by eliminating garlic, apples, mangoes, prunes, cauliflower, and most gluten-containing products.
Habits that require you to open your mouth repeatedly, such as chewing gum and smoking can cause air to enter which leads to increased gas. More gas that enters body, more often you will expel it.
Large, heavy meals can cause an increase in amount of gas created at any one time. So, you can eat small portions throughout day to reduce production of gas produced by body.
Exercise can help speed up digestion and keep process optimal. Taking a walk after dinner can help reduce gas and bloating, as well as provide an opportunity to secretly release it outdoors. lol
If you experience problems with your body due to holding your farts too often, don't hesitate to do a health check at nearest hospital. Although holding in farts is not a serious problem, you should avoid it and allow your body to normalize by releasing farts to make it more relieved. lol

Extreme weather is still hitting my area, but I am very grateful this morning it looks like it will be sunny because Mr. Sun has shown its rays.

Look at my little garden starting to turn yellow because of too much rain, indeed rainwater is very good for plants. But when too much will also have an effect that is not good for plants.

Identify negative side of lemon
Sometimes, health trends that many people follow are not in accordance with practice, such as advice given by health experts to regularly drink lemon water contained in "infused water". https://read.cash/@qheer92/infused-water-fd4ce75e
Some people who agree with this will say that lemon water has several benefits, good for digestion, can help control levels of "alkaline" in body, and boost immunity. But whether doing something as simple as that will provide great benefits for health?
Technically, acid in lemon juice "works" with body to maintain and improve proper functioning of limbs. By drinking lemon water, we will give body more time to take in and process nutrients in food eaten after consuming lemon water.
This slow absorption occurs for two reasons. First, it saves insulin stores in body because insulin is very important to regulate the amount of glucose in blood, and also helps the body get more nutrients from food consumed.
Absorption that is too fast for processed carbohydrate sources such as wheat flour, corn flour, and corn syrup can be bad for digestion. Because it will affect composition of nutrients contained in blood.
Apart from aiding digestion, there are other benefits of lemon water. Namely, natural and best way to consume vitamin C without high sugar content that can be found in other citrus fruits. Because it tastes sour, sugar content is very small.
While lemon water may be good for digestion, it can cause minor damage on its way to the stomach. So you still have to be careful when you consume lemon water.
Adding lemon to water increases risk of eroding coating on your tooth enamel, which can cause problems. In fact, eroded tooth enamel cannot be replaced. Well, so that your hobby of consuming lemon water does not cause negative effects, there are some "signs" that you should know:
- Drink as part of a meal, do not drink it directly without any food after. The goal is to help stimulate production of saliva. Saliva will neutralize harmful acids and food particles from teeth, and help protect teeth from decay.
- If you want to drink lemon water warm in the morning, try to wait until it cools down a bit, then use a straw. This can help push the fluid in the teeth out.
- Drink lemon water before brushing your teeth, so acid won't damage tooth enamel directly. Then, wait a while to brush your teeth, about 30 to 60 minutes.
Well, once you know. It's best not to consume lemon too often. It does have many benefits. But there is a negative side that arises if you consume too often lemon water.

Playing with dolls can support social skills in children's early development because pretend play can activate brain regions associated with social information processing and empathy. This allows children to develop their empathy and social skills. These benefits can even be obtained even if the child plays alone. Social development obtained when playing with dolls is even better than when children play with gadgets.
In addition to developing social skills, benefits of playing with dolls can also develop affection. Pretend play can build and develop a child's sense of compassion. By playing with dolls children can practice how to care for objects or other living things and treat them well. So, his concern for people around him can be awakened and honed from an early age.
When girls play with dolls, for example baby dolls, child will play role of mother. They learn and practice what they see from their mother's habits. This can develop nature of child's responsibility. Through this game, it is easier for children to know how to take care of their pets or siblings.
As previously explained, playing with dolls is included in imaginative play activities or fantasy games. When children play with dolls, of course, children use their imagination to determine roles of dolls and storyline.
For example, if child likes profession of a doctor, child will imagine that he is a doctor and doll is patient. This can stimulate children's creativity. In addition, he also learns to understand duties and professions that exist in society.
Doll games can encourage children to often chat with doll and other friends when playing together. This activity certainly helps development of children's language and vocabulary in communicating with others.
Shy children will also be trained to become more confident and able to express their opinions through conversations with dolls. Especially now that there are many dolls that can make sounds, children's language skills become wider because their vocabulary is increasing.
Well, so that some of these benefits can be achieved, you should choose right doll, one of which is by giving a favorite doll and according to gender of the child.

Comb, in addition to styling hair there is also a healthy hair effect
It seems that almost everyone in millennial era has used a tool known as comb. However, when did this tool begin to be used by inhabitants of earth? It turns out that combs have been used since 5,500 years ago. At that time Ancient Egyptians already used a comb.
In early period of its appearance, combs were made using several materials. For example, rest of bone or wood. There are even combs made using tusks or turtle shells. However, this has been challenged over time because it is detrimental to animals and is also easily broken if dropped. Use of combs at that time was more intended for consideration of benefits that can be obtained. Like a wooden comb, which until now is believed to be beneficial for health of hair roots.
It turns out that when combing hair, a wooden comb also provides massage on scalp. It is thought to improve blood flow and nourish hair roots. Wide wooden comb is also unattractive and does not break our hair.
However, existence of a comb in past was not only used to treat hair but also as a marker of one's social strata in society. During ancient Chinese civilization, combs were used as a sign of social class.
Around the 1800s, plastic combs were made and until now majority of combs are made of wood and plastic. Comb itself is designed to separate tangled hair follicles and arrange them more neatly. Although it looks same, actually comb has various functions that vary in use depending on need, for this hairdresser is the master.
In general, there are three types of combs that are widely used. First hair comb, which is used to organize and style hair. Two decorative combs. This comb is used as a hair decoration but not for styling hair, this decorative comb was popular in the 1930s to 1940s. Third, there is a lice comb, this comb is usually used to look for parasites in our hair, such as lice.
Well, that's the short story about the comb, although it is simple and some even have a small size, this object has benefits for humans. One thing that should not be forgotten, is to never lend comb to others so as not to contract lice and hair dirt and clean comb when it starts to look dirty. Don't forget to always comb your hair so it doesn't fall apart! lol

Many have recommended that I use emergency lights from Philips because they have many variants of emergency lights for various emergency needs, both at home and outdoor activities. Not only that I want, but they are famous for having LED emergency products that are of good quality and durable in use.
