As quoted from the Telegraph, the design of open office space will interfere with employee focus. This condition will lead to employees doing the unwanted activity of the brain to decrease the level of productivity reached 12 percent.
Is the architecture critic, Tom Dyckhoff is tested. Through the show 'The Secret Life of Buildings', he was wearing protective headgear that can measure brain waves when working in a room with an open design. Result, there are many distractions.
Office with an open design began to emerge in 1950. In contrast to the closed room, this design is very minimal barrier so that fellow employees can see each other's work.Because of practical and less expensive than closed designs, many companies prefer an office with an open design.
"The office is open design is designed so that everyone can move and interact freely to create creative thinking and problem solving is better," said the neurologist who conducted the study, Dr. Jack Lewis.
However, according to Lewis, the condition is not that simple. For example, when the cell phone rang while at work. That potentially disrupt the concentration. "While you are unconscious, the brain is still responding to the transfer," he said.
According to Lewis, the decline in brain function will increase with the conditions of work table that is too empty and plain, without any personal decorations.
Psychologists from the University of Exeter, Dr. Craig Knight, also reminded the importance of giving employees the freedom to decorate their work area. Workplace employees who colored with pictures and plants 32 percent increase happiness and 15 percent of their productivity. "That's because they are able to blend with their surroundings that feel more comfortable and concentration," he said.
Professor Fred Cage from the Salk Institute in San Diego led a study comparing the brains of mice were placed in the cage empty and clean, with others placed in an environment that is more colorful.
Within a month, the results indicate the function of mouse brain stimulation from the environment have increased by 15 percent. The rat brain areas rich in blood vessels and nerves emerging.

Others claim, choosing the best child care for loved their work according to education, but they were secretly hoping to take care of the child. While other mothers to write something simple yet deep, "I feel guilty every day when going to work."

Mothers today's increasingly easy to hold or carry their baby. The tool holding (carrier) and a stroller (stroller) is often used not only facing the mother, but also can be facing forward.
A study found that babies who carried a front-facing adversely affects their growth.Research conducted by Dundee University found that children who often carried a front facing prone to ups and downs in the development and make them into adults who are anxious. The same is true of the stroller facing forward.
The study said, babies find it difficult to get parental attention, and rarely talk to their parents. Babies are more likely to suffer from stress and sometimes even experience a 'trauma'. In contrast, children who are traditionally more likely to be picked up laughing, listening to my mother and fall asleep while facing the mother or penggendong showed lower stress levels.
Dr Suzanne Zeedyk, a psychologist and researcher said, "Our data suggest that for many babies, life in the stroller is poor and stressful conversations. The baby will grow into an adult who is depressed and anxious," he said as quoted by the Daily Mail.
Professor Catherine Fowler of the University of Sydney reveals, at a very young age, children who carried a front facing will immediately see the activities of adults who are busy. "Imagine you are tied into an object and can not look away from a very crowded situation. Gendongan and train front-facing infant creates a very stressful situation."
However, Robin Barker, a midwife and Author of 'Baby Love', said during the baby loved and fed, how to hold the baby will not adversely affect the health of babies. For a newborn it can affect your health, but does not apply to infants older than three months.

Many women ask the male partner in order to reveal the things that bother them.However, most men just ignore and assume it's not something that needs to be said.This does not mean that lovers do not care or try to appear strong.
A recent study says, most men thought that discussing the issue with the woman simply a waste of time. This attitude applies not only to adult men, but also in boys. The study, which will be published in the journal Child Development, found that when faced with the problem, boys acting like men.
"For years, popular psychologist insisted that boys and men want to tell their problems, but was defeated by fear, or shame looks weak," said Amanda J. Rose, professor of psychology and art at the University of Missouri College.
"The moment when asked the boy told of the problems, they express anxiety differently with girls," said Rose. He added, "The response of children men in show, they were talking about totally useless."
Researchers from the University of Missouri conducted four separate studies and gather information on nearly 2,000 children and adolescents. The result is quite surprising. The girls told to talk about issues affecting them makes them feel cared for and understood.
But, boy was talking about their problems would lead to intimidation. They avoid the discussion because they feel embarrassed and feel strange, and wasting time.
That is why, it takes a different approach for parents to approach the girls and boys"For boys, it's helpful to explain to them, that discuss some issues will not waste time," said Rose.Nevertheless, parents should not force the child to vent, because it really makes them feel more insecure.
And in the face of a girl, do not talk about them excessively because it will lead to depression and anxiety. "Girls should be told, that discuss not only how to cope, but can get a solution through discussions," he said as quoted from Shine.

During sleep many women choose to keep wearing a bra with shared grounds. Mostly to keep the breast form in order not to fall. Meanwhile, there is also prefer to sleep without wearing a bra for reasons of convenience.
So which one is more appropriate, sleeping without a bra or wearing a bra fixed? As reported from Oprah.com, Susan Nethero lingerie boutique owner, Intimacy and Phil Haeck, MD, chief of The American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, revealing facts about this so that you are not misguided.
"Breast size continues to increase steadily in the last ten years," said Nethero.
According to him, many people have a fairly large size of the breasts or pregnant and lactating women who do need to wear a bra at night. There are also some women who feel more comfortable still wearing a bra while sleeping. So, really no problem to keep wearing a bra while sleeping.
But he recommended to wear a bra without wire and soft fabric. Not only for reasons of convenience but also health. Make sure the bra that is used during sleep has a cup size that fits and not too tight. This is to prevent you from shortness of breath or redness in the skin around the breast.
Facts you should know is, whatever comfortable bra to wear, wear it while sleeping is not medically proven to prevent breast sagging. "What makes the breasts are still tight ligaments, a sort of super small buffer in the breast," Haeck said.
With age, the ligament is thinned and drawn out. This makes the breasts sag or decreased. So it is not appropriate, if the reason you wear a bra while sleeping is to prevent loosening.
Related to which one is better, sleep with or without a bra is actually very dependent on your comfort. That's because a sense of comfort will make you better quality sleep. So, really no problem sleeping with or without a bra, as far as you feel comfortable.
For some, the morning without coffee or tea is like living without sunlight. They made the agenda for coffee and tea as a ritual. Two of these drinks also contain caffeine which is known to function as a delaying fatigue. Scientifically, the benefit has also been demonstrated.
Although capable of delaying fatigue, caffeine is also known to have side effects.There's even a mythical state of caffeine can lead to addictive beverage known as useless. In order for you to know the truth, consider the myths and facts about caffeine as quoted pages Shine.
1. Myth: Caffeine is an addictive substanceFact: Depending on how much caffeine dkonsumsi. Caffeine is known as a stimulant to the central nervous system, so if caffeine is consumed regularly can cause mild physical dependence like other drug addictions. Because of this, most experts consider the effects of caffeine addiction. When caffeine is consumed regularly and quickly stopped, some of us will experience uncomfortable symptoms which last for one to several days.However the effects of this addiction can still be avoided if caffeine intake is reduced slowly. If you try to stop the habit of consuming caffeine, you may experience one of the symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, mood depression, and difficulty concentrating.
2. Myth: Caffeine causes insomniaFact: Even then depending on how much the amount of caffeine consumed. The human body quickly absorbs the caffeine, but also metabolic processes in the body is rapid.
Caffeine treatment process involves the liver. On average, it takes 4-5 hours to deplete the caffeine from the body. After five hours, 75 percent of the caffeine is removed.Unless you are very sensitive, in the morning if you drank a cup or two cups of coffee, may affect your sleep.
But if you eat a latte or espresso after dinner, you may have trouble with insomnia. It would be better, if caffeine is consumed 6 hours before bedtime.
However, the sensitivity of each person will differ, depending also on the metabolism and the amount of caffeine you consume on a regular basis.
3. Myth: Caffeine increases the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancerFact: The reality, the amount of caffeine consumed about 300 milligrams, about three cups, it can cause health problems in adults. However, some people will be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine, including the elderly and people with high blood pressure.
If caffeine is consumed more than 744 milligrams per day, equivalent to 7-8 cups a day, have effect increased loss of calcium and magnesium in the urine, so the risk of causing osteoporosis. But recent studies show this does not increase risk of bone loss, especially if you get enough calcium.
You can offset the loss of calcium if you drink one cup of coffee by adding two tablespoons of milk. However, research also shows some relationship between caffeine and risk of hip fracture in older adults. Older people may be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine on calcium metabolism.
If you, a woman aged, discuss with your doctor whether you should limit daily caffeine intake to 300 milligrams or you are less than that amount to prevent adverse effects.According to research by a team from Harvard, is also said to caffeine consumption does not increase the risk of heart disease and does not raise cholesterol levels or cause irregular heartbeat.
However, heart rate and blood pressure generally increased in those who are sensitive to caffeine, but the increase was minimal and comparative to normal activities such as climbing stairs. If you have high blood pressure problems, talk to your doctor about the amount of caffeine intake that can be consumed, because some people may be more sensitive to its effects.
As reported by The New York Times, the scientists who conduct international studies at 66 studies also found that drinking coffee though few could have an effect on the risk of pancreatic disorders or kidney cancer. Those who consume excessive coffee are also at risk of liver cancer. Then, a study on 59 thousand women in Sweden, a country with the highest level of coffee consumption per capita in the world, found no association between caffeine consumption and breast cancer.
4. Myth: Pregnant women and women planning to become pregnant should avoid caffeineFact: A study conducted at the State University of New York and other studies published in the journal Epidemiology, looked at the effects of beverages containing caffeine on reproductive factors. The results indicate that caffeine consumption is actually safe for pregnant or planning to become pregnant as far as the amount is not excessive.
In addition, note the lack of correlation between caffeine consumption and spontaneous abortion or abnormal fetal growth. However, those women who were pregnant and planning a pregnancy should still limit the amount of caffeine intake. It would be better if the daily caffeine consumption of less than 200 milligrams per day.
5. Myth: Caffeine is bad for childrenFact: The Journal of Pediatrics published a survey showing that in the U.S., children 5-7 years old drink about 52 mg of caffeine daily, and 8-12 years old children drink 109 mg a day. In general, children have the same ability to process caffeine as adults.A study by A. Leviton published in Clinical Pediatrics indicates that the drinks and foods containing caffeine if consumed regularly has the effect of causing hyperactivity in children. However, in children who are sensitive, high doses of caffeine, can cause temporary effects such as irritability, insomnia, or anxiety.
6. Myth: Caffeine can beat alcoholFact: Research shows that in fact many people only think caffeine will help them calm down. Alcohol also has the same ability but it is false. People who drink caffeine along with the alcohol still has the same reaction. In fact, research shows that those who drink alcohol and caffeine together are actually more likely to have a risk of an automobile accident.
7. Myth: Caffeine has no health benefitsFact: For some people, caffeine has the effect of increasing alertness, concentration, energy, and can cause headaches and feelings like anger. Scientific research at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore and Harvard to support a person's subjective experience about the effects of caffeine and have shown that caffeine can improve memory and logical reasoning. One French study showed the effect of caffeine also caused a slower decline in cognitive abilities in women.
Another recent report, suggesting that caffeine may be useful in treating allergic reactions due to its ability to reduce the concentration of histamine, a substance that causes the body responds to substances pemicualergi. Limited evidence also suggests caffeine can reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease, liver disease, colorectal cancer, and diabetes type 2.
However, the key thing to remember, that anything consumed in excess certainly can cause adverse effects in the body. Maybe if the ritual is only performed setipa enjoy the caffeine in the morning one cup, would not be a bad effect on health.
Recent research suggests otherwise. In fact alcohol may help you fall asleep quickly butalcohol can actually disrupt sleep quality.
Drinking alcohol before bed can lead you to sleep soundly during the first half of the evening, before you become restless and agitated in the rest the next night.
The results of a study published in the Journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, indicate that alcohol causes people to wake up earlier than usual. The research was conducted by a team from the University of Akita, Japan.
They provide three different doses of pure alcohol at intervals of three weeks to the respondent. Then, they tested the quality of sleep. The study also found that drinking toomuch before bed is not only interfere with sleep but also have a negative effect on the body's digestive system and can cause other illnesses.
"Alcohol affects sleep framework entirely," said Dr. Yohei Sagawa, from AkitaUniversity, quoted by Female First.
Not only that, he added, the results of this study indicate that drinking actually causeinsomnia and instead make better quality sleep.
A recent study tried to complement previous studies showing that caffeine can be an effective weapon in the fight against skin cancer. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study makes the rat as an experiment which was divided into two groups.
The first group of mice has been modified from genes to deter a particular protein called ATR, and rich in ultraviolet radiation (UV). Meanwhile, a second group of rats, no.
The researchers found that both groups of mice remained free of tumors after exposure to UV light for some time. However, after 19 weeks of exposure to UV light, the first group of rats experienced 70 percent fewer tumors compared to the second group of mice.
This research helps explain how caffeine can reduce the risk of exposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer. Caffeine can inhibit ATR kinase pathway, which plays a major role in responding to DNA damage. If absorbed by the body, the ATR can inhibit cell division and allow repair of DNA damaged cells rather than letting die.
"It may sound good, but not all successful repairs and a few cells capable of developing cancer," said Allan Conney, director of the Susan Lehman Cullman Laboratory for Cancer Research at Rutgers Universitad, cited YouBeauty.
This study identified that the ATR kinase pathway could be inhibited by caffeine so that damaged cells will die. Ultimately, the emergence of cancer cells can be prevented.However, caffeine is not only impede this important protein. Caffeine also acts as a natural sunscreen.
You also have benefited from sun protection daily cup of coffee. A 2007 study on nearly 94 thousand women who drank coffee every day, known skin cancer risk 11 percent lower than those who do not. Meanwhile, women who drank six cups or more per day reduced their risk by 30 percent.
Although diligent drink coffee, never pass the sunscreen. "The same general rule applies to you always apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. But seek surnya sunscreen that can protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. Repeat every two hours even though the day was cloudy, after swimming, or being sweaty," said dr. Howard Sobel, a dermatologist from Manhattan
Being overweight or obese often identikkan with something bad and detrimental to health. However, two studies published last week found that overweight people can be healthy as well as people with normal weight.
In an article in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine recently, scientists found, the health of obese people depend on where the fat stored in the body. In normal people, and fat, abdominal fat is more higher risk of heart disease and diabetes compared with fat in the buttocks or thighs.
But for people with obesity, the greatest risk due to the accumulation of fat in the liver.
In one study, researchers at the University of Tübingen, Germany, studied 314 patients and divided into four groups: normal weight, overweight, obese but insulin-sensitive, and obese with insulin resistance.
Experts found that not all obese patients have the same health profile. Some have clogged arteries, which is a risk factor for heart attacks as well as insulin resistance which is a precursor to diabetes. Currently, the body loses sensitivity to the hormone that regulates blood sugar.
But about 25 percent of obese people have clean arteries and insulin resistance. From the medical side, these people are no different than the owner of normal weight.
"No one would say overweight healthy," said Lewis Landsberg, MD, of Northwestern University's Center on Obesity in Chicago. "The message is overweight is much healthier for some people than others," he was quoted Health.com
The big difference between obese patients and their colleagues are related to unhealthy accumulation of fat in the liver. Insulin-resistant obese people have more liver fat levels than almost doubled (8.8 percent) than people with normal weight (3.5 percent).
For comparison, normal weight and obese people have fatty liver levels respectively 1.9 percent and 3.8 percent.
