Women should consume more water than men because the risk of urinary tract infection is lurking more on women. Men are lucky because they had longer urinary tract anatomy rather than women, so that the risk of bacteria get into the urinary tract can be reduced. The shorter the urinary tract, the more easily bacteria to get into and attached in that area. So if averagely consumption of water is recommended for 2 liters a day, then women should drink more than that. Drink plenty of water will help the bacteria to come out from the urinary tract and reduce the risk of infection.

The definition of urinary tract is an area that includes ureter, bladder, and urethra. Urinary tract infections are usually caused by E coli bacteria. However, it can also be caused by the bacterium Staphylococcal aureus, bacillus proteus, and Pseudomonas. The infection can spread from the lower urinary tract to the top. It can even spread to the kidneys.

Urinary tract infection symptoms can be like the body temperature is slightly increased, feeling pain mainly at the end of urination, feeling the urge to urinate that can not be resist, pressed pain over the pubic bone. Sometimes there is blood in the urine. 1-2 percent water shortage can cause brain dysfunction such as lack of concentration and the ability to think. Above 2 percent, the body can experience headaches, fatigue, weakness, movement and muscles are disturbed, urinary infections and kidney stones until death.

Having good sleep was very necessary to maintain our stamina. But it turned out, oversleeping have a negative effect for the health. We were immediately interested to explore this more clearly, because sleep is one of our hobby that we do mostly. And, we get valuable information that having too much sleep or better known as oversleeping, is related to several dangerous diseases, such as headaches, diabetic, heart disease, obesity, and can even cause death. There are several studies that we read about oversleeping that you’ve probably never known before.

One of the bad effects that made us starts thinking to reduce the time of our “lazy” sleep on holiday was the possibility of obesity. For the women, this word can instantly make them shudder. There is a research which found that sleeping for 90-10 hours every night, has 21% greater risk of obesity within the next six years, than those who slept 7-8 hours every night. Not only with the threat of obesity, there’s another research from the Nurses Health which states that oversleeping can cause heart disease.

Hmm, maybe the schedule to wake up late should be removed from the holiday’s list. Another research was conduct on 72. 000 women. Those who slept between 9-11 hours each night, has 38% higher risk of coronary heart disease, than those who slept for 8 hours. Unfortunately, this study does not mention the connection between oversleeping and heart disease.

Some of life’s problems sometimes make us lose the mood, that can be caused due to traffic jam, home or annoying office situation. The things happens not as we want it to be can mess many plans, there are many things that make sense and the mood becomes uncomfortable, a situation which is our emotion is in disarray. Sometimes when feelings of annoying or uncertainty and feelings or mood becomes bad, sometimes actually we do not know what happened.

Anyway, this heart felt anger, anxiety, resentment, and other negative emotions mixed in, in this situation sometimes we want to be alone, and no one can interfere with us. In an unstable emotional state like this, it makes our work mess up, even relationship with another person can be worse.
