Select Shoes Under Foot Type



When buying shoes, you should not be lulled by low prices or models that interest you. Not necessarily a trendy shoe models can provide the comfort and function according to your needs. Unfortunately, most people still pay attention to when choosing a shoe model alone, only then comfort, and foot size.

"You have to look at the need and the type of foot that is really comfortable to wear," said Arie Wijaya, Indonesia Nike Product Specialist, at the launch of Nike Free "Free Your Run" in Pulau Macan, Thousand Islands, North Jakarta, Wednesday (10/4 / 2013) then.



1. Needs
Do not be easily tempted by the variety of shoes on offer. Your needs will determine what the model and the type of shoes are suitable for use. For example, when it comes to exercise, you can not use a flat loafers or shoes ordinary.
"Loafers or flat shoes are usually made of elastic materials, especially on the front. Rigid materials make these shoes hard driven, and lead foot so lazy to move," he explained.

In addition, when I want to relax you also can not choose high heels. These shoes will make your leg muscles and tensed interested. Consequently feet so sore and tired easily.

2. Type your feet
Broadly speaking, humans have three types of feet, which is normal, flat arc and high arc. This foot type can be seen through the footprints. At the foot of the normal form, there is a clear distinction between the concave and flat sections on the palm. With normal foot size, this basin would look not too deep and in accordance with the length and width of the foot.
"The owner is suitable for normal foot wear any kind of shoes," he said.


For high arc foot type, foot basin looks very deep. This basin is the lead spacing on the right foot this basin will be very small. Arie added, as this type of foot can be caused by the use of high heels too often. High heels will support the heel of the foot to be higher. As a result, all the weight will be concentrated on the front of the foot (ball of the foot).
"You who have this type of high-risk foot injury and sprains," said Arie. This can be overcome by using a type of shoe that has a midsole (soft sole lining on the inside of shoes) with a fairly high side pads. The side bearings serve to fill the hollows legs so that the soles of his feet to be more even and balanced so it is not easy sprain.

Arc flat foot type, foot shape is characterized by a flat and full in his footsteps. This form of the foot soles of the feet as easier to feel tired because you concentrate all your weight on the foot, and the pressure to be too big foot welcome.
To fix this, you can choose a shoe that has a high flexibility and easy. Shoes with a soft lining in all of its parts will help you to feel more relaxed, thereby reducing pressure on the foot.

What are the Determinants of Children's Intelligence?



Every parent would want to have an intelligent and healthy children. Provide optimal nutrition is one way. But exactly what are the factors that affect children's intelligence?


Nutritionists from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia Saptawati Bardosono said, there are many factors that affect a child's intelligence including nutrition. "It's no secret, good nutrition is the key to the child's intelligence. Yet it is not the only one," he said on the sidelines of the Dancow Parenting Centre on Thursday (01/31/2013) in Jakarta.

In general, he added, there are two factors that affect children's intelligence in general, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors are genetic factors, while external factors are environmental, including nutrition, stimulation, physical activity, and health maintenance efforts.

"That's why there are children who may be less well nourished but still smart," said the doctor with Tati's familiar greeting.


He explained that, although the two factors were equally influential, but internal factors that genetic factors have a relatively small contribution which is only about 5 percent. While the factors that play a role eksternallah large at around 95 percent.

"So it is not impossible that their parents are less intelligent, but his son was smart," he said.

Questioning the phrase, "if you want smart children, his mother also have to be smart", Saptawati said it is true. Therefore, the body of a mother-child was "deposited" in the womb. However, that does not mean the father has no role in shaping the baby's intelligence. "You can make healthy and intelligent children were not separated from the role of fathers who take care of his wife during pregnancy. And of course taking care of the child when the child is born," he explained.

Intelligence of children, said Saptawati, also rely heavily on the first 1,000 days of life, in the time in the womb until the age of five. Therefore, to form a bright child, there needs to be a persiapanan from parents since the beginning of planning a pregnancy, he concluded.

The researchers analyzed the 103 pairs of new students who occupy the same room. At that age they are considered to have a greater tendency of contracting negative thoughts or the so-called cognitive vulnerability. The study found that those who had high cognitive vulnerability tends to increase the risk of depression.


"We found the study participants' cognitive vulnerability is significantly influenced by his roommate, so are better," wrote the researchers. Roommates involved in the study were randomly selected, rather than determined by the student. Only three months after their stay in the same room, this transmission occurs.

The researchers also found that those who experienced an increase in cognitive vulnerability for three months, had increased levels of depressive symptoms as well. The increase in the level of depressive symptoms experienced is almost double compared to those who did not experience an increase in cognitive vulnerability.

Prior to this study, the researchers considered the cognitive vulnerability does not change much after a person passes through early adolescence. But the new findings show that when someone is in a transition period can have a change of cognitive vulnerability.

In addition to the environment, the researchers noted there are other factors that affect cognitive vulnerability, namely genetic and biological factors.
