No strength in this world compares to a woman bringing life into it..

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Becoming a dad physically changes your brain. Scientists scanned new fathers before their baby arrived and again after, and the dads whose brains changed the most were the ones holding their baby the most.

Start with the mom, since hers changes first. During pregnancy the gray matter in her brain (the outer layer, where your thinking happens) actually shrinks a little, mostly in the spots she uses to read how other people feel. A 2017 study in Barcelona found the shift so clean that a computer could look at a brain scan and tell whether a woman had carried a baby. Every single time.

That sounds bad until you see where the shrinking lands. The exact spots that get trimmed are the ones that light up when she looks at her own baby. And the moms whose brains changed the most scored highest on how bonded they felt. The shrinking is her brain getting specialized, clearing out the noise so it can lock onto one tiny person, the same sort of tidy-up it ran when she was a teenager.

In 2024 a lab at UC Santa Barbara finally caught this happening live. They scanned one first-time mom’s brain 26 times, from before she got pregnant through to two years after the birth. The gray matter dropped about 4 percent across most of her brain, while the wiring underneath that links it all together got roughly 10 percent stronger, then eased off once the baby came. A full rebuild, tracked week by week for the first time.

Dads run a quieter version of the same program. New fathers in Spain and California lost about 1 percent in the parts tied to empathy and focus, and once again, the ones who lost more were the ones putting in more hours with their baby and feeling closer to them. Their hormones move too. In a study of 624 men in the Philippines, testosterone dropped sharply once they became fathers, and the hands-on dads, the ones doing three hours of care a day or more, dropped the furthest. Hold your baby against your chest and both of you, mom or dad, get a warm little rush of oxytocin, the body’s bonding chemical.

None of this is free. New parents do not get a proper night’s sleep back for about six years, and the first three months are rough, with moms losing close to an hour a night. The body rebuilds itself anyway, because it has one job now, and that job is turning you into a parent.

What I love most is the thing that happens between them. When a mom and her baby lock eyes and babble back and forth, their heart rates drift into the same beat, inside of one second. Two separate bodies, one rhythm. That dad in the drawing with his arms up has no idea his own brain started rearranging itself the second he first picked her up.

Studies suggest that repeated yelling and harsh verbal aggression during early childhood can increase stress hormones, affect emotional regulation, raise anxiety levels, and negatively influence cognitive development.

Long-term exposure to chronic stress in children has also been linked to mental and physical health problems later in life.

tp guys serius kalau kalian pengen jadi ortu di masa depan pls pls pls listen to your children. jangan kebanyakan diabaikan apalagi digodain dan dibully tiap anaknya ngomong. ortu gue selalu dengerin ocehan anaknya dari bocil hasilnya semua anaknya bisa public speaking...

[risa-! @biduanssa]

wajar banget kok kalo new mom panik dan bingung knp babynya nangis terusss🥺

newborn emg cara komunikasi utamanya cmn menangis. "tapi udah dicek ini itu semua aman kok tetep nangis? sampe digendong jg tetep nangis"😞

cobain teknik gendong seperti video ini deh kak. aku pribadi cara gendong seperti ini jd andalan aku soalnya bayi lgsg diem. aku praktekin ke keponakan dan ke pasien2ku dan itu works.

knp teknik/posisi gendong ini ampuh?
✅️memberi tekanan lembut di perut
✅️posisi menenangkan dan aman
✅️melatih otot leher

Kita bahas Kolostrum atau “Liquid Gold” yang Alyssa simpan dari sisi Mikrobiologi

Kolostrum bukan sekadar nutrisi awal, ia adalah blueprint biologis mikrobioma usus bayi. Kaya akan Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMO), sIgA, dan laktoferin, kolostrum secara selektif mendorong kolonisasi Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, yang mengonsumsi HMO dan menghasilkan SCFA untuk memperkuat barier usus serta menekan patogen. Komposisi mikrobioma yang terbentuk di “window of opportunity” ini memengaruhi maturasi imun, risiko atopi, hingga pemrograman metabolik jangka panjang. Setiap tetes kolostrum adalah investasi seumur hidup.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cewek-cewek, kalian tau PCOS?

PCOS adalah gangguan hormonal pada perempuan yang bisa memengaruhi haid, metabolisme, kesuburan, kulit, sampai berat badan.

Nah, sekarang ada update baru 👀
PCOS mulai resmi berganti nama menjadi PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome).

Kenapa diganti?

Karena nama “PCOS” selama ini dianggap terlalu misleading.

Banyak orang mengira: “PCOS = banyak kista di ovarium.”

Padahal faktanya: banyak pasien bahkan tidak punya “kista” seperti yang dibayangkan masyarakat.

Masalah utamanya juga bukan cuma di ovarium, tapi melibatkan:
• hormon
• metabolisme
• resistensi insulin
• kulit & jerawat
• mental health
• sampai risiko diabetes dan penyakit jantung

Makanya para ahli memilih istilah: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome

Supaya lebih menggambarkan kalau ini adalah kondisi multisistem, bukan sekadar “kista ovarium”.

Nama lama juga disebut berkontribusi terhadap:

• diagnosis terlambat
• stigma
• miskonsepsi penyakit
• dan penanganan yang kurang menyeluruh

Jadi kalau haid kalian sering berantakan, jerawatan berat, berat badan gampang naik, atau tumbuh rambut berlebih…

Jangan dianggap normal terus ya 🙂‍↔️

New research suggests that limiting sugar intake during the first 1,000 days of life from pregnancy through early toddlerhood- may play an important role in reducing the risk of chronic disease in adulthood.

A study published in Science indicates that early exposure to high levels of sugar may influence developing brain pathways involved in taste and reward, potentially increasing preference for sweet foods later in life. This early “programming” effect could make it harder to maintain balanced eating habits in adulthood and may contribute to long-term dietary patterns that favour sugar-rich foods.

The findings also link early sugar consumption with broader health outcomes, including a higher likelihood of obesity and type 2 diabetes in later years. Researchers suggest that these early nutritional experiences can shape metabolism and taste preferences during key stages of development, with lasting effects on health.

Health experts involved in the discussion emphasise that reducing added sugar during infancy and early childhood may support healthier long-term outcomes. Prioritising whole, nutrient-rich foods during this critical window is seen as a protective step that can benefit health across the lifespan.

Tau gak kalian kalau spons cuci piring yang biasa kita gunakan itu dapat berubah menjadi pusat 'peternakan' bakteri?

Ada penelitian yang menemukan bahwa kepadatan bakteri lokal di spons itu bisa mencapai 5,4 × 10¹⁰ sel per cm³, yang artinya dalam 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗸𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗼, 𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗵 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗮𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗱𝗶 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘂𝗿𝘂𝗵 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗺𝗶.

Iya sebanyak itu!

Sebagian bakterinya bahkan bisa menyebabkan infeksi oportunis pada manusia.

Nah yang bikin gue lumayan kaget adalah ternyata spons yang "rajin dibersihkan" ternyata TIDAK SELALU menjadi lebih aman. Pembersihan spons malah dapat membunuh bakteri yang lebih "jinak", dan memberikan competitive advantage untuk bakteri yang lebih "bandel". Sederhananya pas kita bersihin spons, malah sebenernya kita lagi nge-seleksi bakteri paling bandel untuk bertahan hidup.

Jadi apa yang harus kita lakukan dengan spons cuci piring kotor?

𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻.
Seminggu sekali bila memungkinkan.

Data dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa spons yang dipakai 14 hari punya tingkat kontaminasi 37,3%, jauh lebih tinggi dari spons 3 hari (12%). Studi yang sama juga menemukan bahwa menyimpan spons dalam kondisi lembap setelah dipakai adalah cara tercepat meningkatkan kolonisasi bakteri.

Spons cuci piring yang sama juga kan kadang dipakai untuk lap meja, cuci piring, bersihkan kompor, lalu balik lagi ke piring. Nah itu jadi rantai kontaminasi silang yang sempurna untuk bakteri patogen masuk ke saluran cerna.

Semoga bermanfaat!

🚨 Spending just 5 to 10 minutes a day in this meditative pose does more than open your hips. It can ease lower back tension, support digestion, and calm a busy mind.

Research shows that gentle stillness paired with slow breathing helps lower stress hormones and guides the body into a relaxed, focused state.

It is a small daily habit, but one that can help reset your nervous system and bring real calm.

HATI-HATI!
JANGAN tidur siang kelamaan!

Bisa tidur siang di tengah-tengah pekerjaan, sekolah, atau kegiatan sehari-hari, merupakan hal yang tentunya kita inginkan. Bahkan tidur siang pun sebenarnya baik untuk memulihkan kemampuan berpikir kita.

Namun, penelitian INTERSTROKE International Study yang melibatkan 4.496 orang dari berbagai negara menunjukkan hasil yang cukup bikin mikir dua kali sebelum “rebahan bentar tapi kebablasan.”

Ternyata, orang yang tidur siang lebih dari 1 jam, entah itu direncanain atau kebablasan, punya risiko stroke lebih tinggi antara lain:
-2,8x lebih tinggi kalau kebablasan
-1,7x lebih tinggi kalau memang direncanain

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶 𝗶𝘁𝘂?
Tidur siang yang terlalu lama bisa ganggu ritme sirkadian, yaitu jam biologis tubuh yang ngatur kapan kita harus bangun, tidur, dan ngatur hormon tubuh.

Kalau jam biologis ini rusak, maka bisa muncul gangguan respon imun dan peningkatan peradangan di tubuh dan pada akhirnya berujung pada peningkatan risiko stroke.

Semoga bermanfaat!

Otak perempuan setelah kehamilan kedua ternyata berubah menjadi lebih tajam, sebagai mekanismie adaptasi untuk mengurus lebih dari satu anak sekaligus.

Penelitian mengenai perubahan otak setelah kehamilan pertama sudah cukup banyak, yaitu terutama perubahan pada default mode network, sebagai jaringan yang bertanggung jawab atas introspeksi, self-perception, dan kemampuan membaca kebutuhan orang lain.

Perubahan ini hipotesisnya adalah sebagai metode "install ulang" identitas seorang perempuan ketika menjadi ibu untuk pertama kalinya.

Yang perlu diperhatikan adalah penurunan volume gray matter otak di kehamilan kedua (2.8%), mirip kehamilan pertama (3.1%). Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penurunan volume gray matter ini tidak berhubungan dengan penurunan kognitif, melainkan merupakan restrukturisasi otak untuk persiapan menjadi ibu yang lebih baik.

Semoga bermanfaat!
