Did you mean to make the milk warm. Powdered milk or fresh milk that we dab into a glass with us immediately pour hot water with a temperature of nearly 100 ° C. Then after a quarter or a third of a glass filled, then we pour the rest with plain water until the glass is almost full. But did you know that this way is almost a worst method of making a glass of warm milk is full of nutrients?
Surprised? Maybe yes, maybe did not. But this is so, all the vitamins will decompose and contact with damaged when temperatures are too hot. So brew milk or milk powder with hot water directly, actually not unlike eliminate vitamins contained therein. Not many people know about this important yet trivial. Even though the medical community. Try to think carefully, how the growth of your baby if milk as a food additive that is full of vitamins that you should give to their vitamin content apparently been lost?
Vitamins are very susceptible to unravel. Moreover, due to exposure or contact with objects or substances with a temperature that is too extreme. Included here is the hot water. Hot water is meant here is the boiling water or water with temperatures near the boiling point of water wherever you are (the boiling point of water is not always 100 ° C, depending on the temperature and pressure at which you are located). Why is not it a habit to brew tea, coffee, and even so is milk, with hot water when we want to make a cup of drink it? Well, it's her fault point. It is already entrenched. Even in angkringan-famous place or several places to eat, often when we ordered milk 'anget', which presented it milk 'hot' which incidentally is no longer the milk is rich in vitamins again. Try it to stall "Fresh cow's milk". Look milk processing, still roughly what percentage of vitamins contained in a glass of milk is presented as' his panas' it? Therefore, we should understand what the nature of the steps serves milk to vitamins are not too much is lost?
Milk contains so many vitamins and minerals in it. But remember, not only the nutrients in the milk, but also bacteria. Millions of bacteria thrive in a glass of milk you just dairy from a cow. And heat only able to separate between the two. But excessive heat not only eliminate the bacteria that live in them, but also all the vitamins. Heating methods that have been used in the processing of milk is how "Pasteurization", in which milk is heated to a temperature of 70 ° C. Milk naturally bad bacteria will die, but the vitamin content of the milk was still awake. But where possible we can ensure the temperature of steeping water that we use in making a glass of milk? Very impractical to measure the water temperature tremos us before making a glass of milk.
For that, there are two possible paths within easy driving distance to mediate this matter.
Use warm water, or, at least not if you only had boiling water, let the water freely exposed in your glass before then you Dab your powder or liquid milk. Warm here is lukewarm. You know if it would take a shower with warm water, you will set how warm the water before you use. That tepid.
Pour cold water or water at room temperature on powdered or liquid milk have you Dab on glass, before you brew with boiling water or hot water tremos you. This method is faster, but less accurate. Of course because approximately how much cold water you with how much hot water you will need to pour afterward a more accurate estimate. One-one end temperature is still too hot. But this is still better than if you brew your milk powders or liquids with boiling water directly.
Hopefully with a little attention to the little things can give you a great thing for all of our lives. Because good food is not only determined by the type or types, but also the way they are presented.

Role of Phosphorus for the Human Body
The role of phosphorus is for the formation of bones and teeth, storage and energy expenditure (change between ATP to ADP). DNA and RNA consist of phosphorus in the form of phosphate as well as the cell membrane that helps maintain cell permeability.
In foodstuffs, phosphors contained in a variety of organic and inorganic materials. Enzymes in the digestive tract of liberating inorganic phosphorus bonds with organic matter. Most of the phosphorus absorbed by the body in its inorganic form, especially at the top of the duodenum which is 70% less alkaline digested to be absorbed.
In general, the amount of phosphorus that is recommended to be consumed as much as 0.7 g per adult per day, roughly equal to the calcium.
The main source of phosphorus which is a food with high protein content such as meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. Grains, especially the institution and whole grains (broken skin) also contains a lot of phosphorus. Food rich in protein and rich in calcium usually also phosphorus.
Phosphorus is the second most common mineral in the body, which is 1% of body weight. Less than 85% phosphorus in the body there is a salt of calcium phosphate, which is part of hydroxyapatite crystals in bone and teeth that can not be dissolved. Hydroxyapatite gives strength and rigidity to the bone. Phosphorus in the bones are in a 1:2 ratio with calcium. Remaining phosphorus contained in all cells of the body, half in the muscles and in the extracellular fluid. Phosphorus is part of the nucleic acids DNA and RNA are present in each cell nucleus and cytoplasm of every living cell. As phospholipids, phosphorus is a structural component of the cell wall. As organic phosphates, phosphorus plays an important role in the reactions associated with the storage or release of energy in the form of adenine triphosphate (ATP).
Phosphorus Absorption and Metabolism
Phosphorus can be absorbed efficiently as free phosphorus in the gut after hydrolyzed and removed from the food. Babies may absorb 85-90% of phosphorus derived from breast milk / milk. As many as 65-70% of phosphorus derived from cow's milk and 50-70% phosphorus derived from composition of normal foods can be absorbed by children and adults. When a low phosphorus intake, absorption level can reach 90% of the phosphorus consumption.
Phosphorus as part of the phosphoric acid which is mainly found in cereals can not be hydrolyzed, therefore can be absorbed. Other dietary factors that prevent absorption of phosphorus is Fe + +, Mg + +, unsaturated fatty acids and antacids containing aluminum, as it forms a water-insoluble salt.
Phosphorus functions
Phosphorus has many functions in the body:
1. Classification of bones and teeth. Classification of bones and teeth begins with the deposition of phosphorus in the bone matrix. Phosphorus deficiency causes an increase in phosphatase enzymes needed to remove phosphorus from the blood into the tissues of the body in order to obtain the calcium to phosphorus ratio appropriate for bone growth.
2. Arrange for the transfer of energy. Phosphorus through the process phosphorylation activates various enzymes and vitamin B in the transfer of energy and metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. When a phosphate group is added to ADP (adenine diphosphate) then formed ATP (adenine triphosphate), which stores energy in the bond. When energy is needed, ATP is converted back to ADP. Binding energy phosphate on ADP released for the purposes of the various reactions in the body.
3. Absorption and transportation of nutrients. In the form of phosphates, phosphorus acts as a means of conveyance to carry nutrients across the cell membrane or the bloodstream. This process is called phosphorylation and occur in absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, the release of nutrients from the bloodstream into the intercellular fluids and their transfer into the cell. Fats are not soluble in water, is transported in the blood in the form of phospholipids. Phospholipid is a phosphate bond with molecules of fat, so fat becomes more soluble. Released from glycogen stores in the liver or muscles in the blood is bound to phosphorus.
Ties essential part of the body. Vitamins and certain enzymes can only function when phosphorylated in advance, for example, enzymes that contain vitamin B1 thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). Phosphate is an essential part of DNA and RNA, gene carrier code / descent contained in the cell nucleus and cytoplasm of all living cells. DNA and RNA are needed for cell reproduction.
Acid-base balance settings. Phosphate plays an important role as a buffer to prevent changes in the acidity of body fluids. This occurs because the additional capability of hydrogen ions bind phosphorus.
Suggested Phosphorus Intake
Adequacy of the average daily phosphorus for Indonesia are set as follows (Widya Karya Food and Nutrition LIPI 1993):
Babies: 200-250 mg
Children: 250-400 mg
Adolescents and adults: 400-500 mg
Pregnant and lactating mothers: +200- +300 mg
Sources of Phosphorus
Because phosphorus present in all living cells, phosphorus contained in all foods, especially foods rich in protein, such as meat, chicken, fish, eggs, milk and the results, and the results are nuts, and Cereal.
Due to excess phosphorus
Excess phosphorus because the food is rare. If levels are too high blood phosphorus, phosphate will bind calcium ions which can cause seizures.
Phosphorus Deficiency
Because phosphorus is widely available in foods, deficiency is rare. Phosphorus deficiency can occur when using drugs antacids to neutralize stomach acid, such as aluminum hydroxide for the long term. Aluminum hydroxide bind phosphorus, so it can not be absorbed. Phosphorus deficiency can also occur in people who lose a lot of fluid through the urine. Phosphorus deficiency causes bone damage. Premature babies can also suffer from phosphorus deficiency because of rapid bone formation so that the phosphorus requirement can not be met by breast milk.

Gout Medicine
Attack of gout (gout) usually occurs in the middle of the night, after a delicious dinner or taking diuretics. Excruciating pain and intense spread of the big toe joint is red, swollen and warm (50% initial attack involves the big toe). Little contact with the sore area and any movement can make the pain increased. Gout attack is sometimes also accompanied by fever and chills.
Crisis gout usually done by administering medication and recommended rest. Without the medication, the pain will disappear on their own even if it takes longer. Placement of ice in the joint can relieve pain.
After the first attack of gout, you could potentially experience it again in a few weeks, months, or years later. In severe cases, replay attacks which happened in the long term can lead to joint damage and make a loss of mobility. That is why it is generally recommended comprehensive care, combining medication and diet to reduce uric acid levels in the blood.
Gout drug
There is no cure for gout, only medications to manage or control it. The main goal of treatment is to stop gout pain and inflammation, prevent future attacks, and to avoid complications (TOFI formation, kidney stones, and damage to joints). Several types of drugs commonly given are:
■ Analgesics, anti-pain medications to relieve pain. Analgesics only relieve pain and treat the cause of disease.
■ Anti-inflammatory drugs such as non-steroidal naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, or indomethacin to resolve inflammation. Doctors initially will give maximum dose until symptoms subside. Treatment should be continued until the pain and inflammation disappeared for at least 48 hours.
■ Colchicine is used for treating acute arthritis and prevent recurrent acute attacks. Colchicine does not cure gout or replacing other drugs that reduce levels of uric acid in the body. These drugs prevent or reduce gout attacks by reducing inflammation. Colchicine can be used in two ways: taking a small dose on a regular basis for months or years, or take large doses for a short period of time (a few hours).
■ diuretic drugs / agents such as probenecid and sulfinpyrazone uricosic awarded after completion of gout attacks to help lower uric acid levels in the blood by making you urinate more. Sometimes these drugs can cause kidney stones.
■ allopurinol to lower uric acid production in the body. This medication is used to prevent gout attacks, not to treat it when the attack occurred.
■ corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic hormone can be used for patients who are intolerant to medication non-steroidal anti-inflammatory or colchicine. Acute gout patients usually receive daily prednisone doses ranging from 20-50 mg for three to four days, then the dose is reduced gradually over two weeks.
■ Other drugs like Losartan, Fenofibrate, etc. which are not specific for gout but help lower uric acid levels.
The above information is just for your knowledge, not as a guide to self-medication. You should get a gout medicine over doctor's instructions, which are usually given in combination to control symptoms, prevent further attacks and manage a healthy uric acid levels in the long term.
