Important Of Reading | Preventing Senility

Written By Unknown on Thursday, March 24, 2011 | 6:43 PM

Important Of Reading Preventing Senility - Reading is an activity that has brought many benefits, because by reading our knowledge increases. Whether it is related to the scientific knowledge or just news or information. In addition, according to the experts that: with a lot of reading, we will be separated from the brain disease. A researcher from the "Henry Ford Health System," Dr. C. Edward Coffey, suggests that only by reading the book, one will be spared from the disease "Dementia". Dementia is a disease that damage brain tissue. When exposed to dementia, we can be sure someone will be difficult to avoid dementia. This occurs because the reading to create a kind of buffer layer that protects the brain and replace changes.
important of reading
Recent brain research, has discovered the benefits of reading in growing dendrites, a component of the brain nerve cells or neurons. Read new words to stimulate the brain, because the brain likes to be a challenge, and new things. Activity of reading is a challenging and always bring a person to enter new territory.

Recognized or not, many people are smart and intelligent because of diligent in reading. Reading can also make people more mature. Adults here means: to have the mindset that no longer childish. By reading, people can look at all the problems of life not as a burden, but a challenge that must be resolved. Problems in life can not be viewed only from one side, but from different sides. People who look at problems from different sides of life is usually more prudent and wise in life.

However, it is very unfortunate that the public reading of Indonesia is still low. Taufiq Ismail a famous Indonesian writer says that. "We have become a nation of blind and lame writing a book to read. " This expression would have a very strong reason. And, true, our problem is the low interest in reading. If offered a reading of the book, not a few of us who refuse to reason do not have time to read. Our society is more like television than in the book. Though the "Jordan E. Ayan 'also said that television is still very behind compared to the book. Television is "passive media" that does not invite us to participate in learning or creative thinking. But this information is not up to us because we do not read.

Very different from the "culture of reading the Japanese" and other developed countries. To any books they carry. If you have any spare time they are filled with reading. So it is not surprising if their knowledge is more advanced than us. Indonesian society more easily cultured oral. Dreaming more than read activity. This we can see from our own behavior and the people around us. Though a lot of free time that we can use to read. For example, while awaiting the departure of the aircraft, at bus stops, terminals, even for people who have no health problems when reading in the car, could use the time to read. Five minutes of reading could have increased our knowledge of vision. We can build motivation in us to multiply the reading includes reading the biographies of successful people.

One doctor from Saudi Arabia named Dr. Aidh Al Qarni in his book "Laa Tahzan" (Do not be sad) wrote 10 benefit of reading:

1. When busy in reading, a blocked entry into stupidity

2. The habit of reading, making people too busy to get in touch with the people lazy and does not work.

3. Regularly read, someone can develop flexibility and fluency in spoken words

4. Reading can help to develop thinking and clear thinking,

5. Reading can increase the knowledge of a person and improve memory in understanding

6. Regularly reading, a person can take benefit from the experience of others, such as copying the wisdom of the wise and intelligent scholars

7. Regularly read, a person can develop his abilities, both to obtain and process knowledge and to learn the various disciplines and their applications in life

8. Confidence someone will increase when he read books that are useful.

9. Reading helps a person to refresh his mind from the complexity and saves time to not be in vain. Regularly read, someone can control a lot of words and sentences to learn a variety of models.

10. Further, it can improve its ability to absorb concepts and to understand what is written on the line by line (to understand what is implied).

From some of the above, we can draw the conclusion that getting used to always read will bring huge benefit. Not only for ourselves, but also for others, if we want to share the knowledge with them. I therefore invite the readers to turn the reading culture anywhere, and anytime if there is the time to read.

Written By Unknown on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 | 5:57 AM

Breast Milk, Child Nutrition to Boost IQ - Establishing a healthy child, intelligent and a good personality is the desire of each parent. One important initial step to make it happen is breastfeeding with optimum quality and quantity.

Breast milk has long been known as the best nutrition in quality and quantity at the time of brain growth period when infants aged 0-6 months.
Child Nutrition to Boost IQ
Breast milk contains nutrients that have a specific function for the growth of the brain such as long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA and AA) for growth of the brain and retina.

In addition, breast milk also contains cholesterol to maintain nerve tissue, taurine to neurontransmitter inhibitors and membrane stabilizers, lactose for brain growth, as well as koline which may improve memory.

For brain development, exclusive breastfeeding for six months is also good for preparing baby's digestive system. A recent study found evidence that babies who were breastfed for six months or more, especially boys, the achievement of its value much better in school when she was 10 years compared with children who regularly drank formula milk.

As reported by the journal Pediatrics, a researcher at the telethon institute for Child Health Research explained, breastfeeding should be promoted for both boys and girls because it contains many positive benefits.

In his research, Oddy and his associates saw the academic scores in children aged 10 years or more than 1,000 children whose mothers had been enrolled in a series of studies conducted in Western Australia.

After adjusting for factors such as gender, family income, maternal factors and early stimulation in the home, such as reading to children, they estimate the relationship between breastfeeding and educational outcomes.

Visible, infants who breastfeed for six months will have higher academic scores on standardized tests than those who breastfed less than six months.

Children have better value in mathematics, reading, spelling, and writing if they are breastfed for six months or more. Breastfeeding for six months for girls may not affect much and were not statistically significantly increase the value of reading in school. The reason for the existence of gender differences has not been clear until now.

Oddy speculated that the main benefits of breast milk affects on the brain and language development may have benefits greater for boys because they are more vulnerable during a critical period of growth.

"Numerous studies have found that more boys than girls viewed independent of maternal attention and encouragement to cognitive and language skills. If a breastfeeding mother and child to facilitate interaction, we would expect the positive effect of this bond is greater in men than with women, like our observations, "he said.

"Nutrients in breast milk is essential for optimal brain growth, such as long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which is not in the formula,"the researchers said.Inilah.com
