KANKER SERVIKS

Tahun belakangan ini, ramai praktisi kesehatan dan artis-artis duta kanker servik mengkampanyekan pentingnya vaksinasi pencegahan penyakit ini. Bagi sebagian orang memang masih asing. Aku juga sempat berpikir… "yah, mudah-mudahan kalo gak macem-macem dan banyak doa, semoga virusnya gak mampir deh."

Tapi seiring waktu, banyak membaca dan mendengar, bagaimana Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) ini sulit terdeteksi sehingga banyak yang kecolongan, aku memutuskan untuk mengikuti vaksinasi masal yang disponsori oleh perusahaan tempatku bekerja.

Teman-teman wanita, yuk mari kita pahami bahayanya kanker leher rahim ini. Tau gak, menurut riset yang aku baca, setiap 2 detik ada 1 wanita di dunia yang meninggal karena kanker ini. Kalau kita paham, kita pasti tahu dan mau mengupayakan pencegahannya, bukan?

TIPS TO GET RID OF A HEADACHE

I often get headaches and feel sick without knowing the reason. Few times after joining field trip with my students, I threw up after we arrived at school. For sure, it’s not because I’m sick riding on a bus (mabuk darat).

As a Javanese, my mom always tells me, ”dititeni (diperhatikan) apa yang bikin kamu suka pusing” (translation: notice what cause your headache).

DO NOT WASH HAIR!
(If I don’t have enough time to dry it before I cover my hair with something-usually my helmet)

Yesterday I received a funny email from a friend in my mailing list. The email was about Therapy by Nostril (Terapi Via Lubang Hidung). Here are the tips:

When you have a headache, close your right nostril, and use your left nostril to breath for about 5 minutes. The headache will be gone.

If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril and breathe through Your right nostril. After a while, you will feel fresh again. Because the right side belongs to heat, it gets hot easily. The left side gets cold easily.

Believe it or not, I closed my right nostril and I was able to breathe freely, maybe because all the liquid inside the nostril pushed outside after I opened it. Though, my headache was not gone, perhaps because I never had the headache when I tried the exercise.

Just Try!
