Post-earthquake measuring 9 SR du Japan, one major concern is Japan's nuclear reactors. Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant which is, located 150 miles north of Tokyo in the City Onahoma, leaking radiation.
According to Drs. Manny Alvarez reported by FoxNews, Monday (14 / 3), one way to protect the body from radioactive exposure is to provide stable doses of Potassium Iodides.

Stable iodine helps protect the body from radioactive exposure by blocking the intake of radioactive material in the thyroid. When the body is exposed to high levels of radioactive material, the cells can become permanently damaged, losing their ability to die, and then kemenghasilkan more cells are damaged by rapid, uncontrolled. This process that leads to cancer.
Children exposed to higher risk of cancer than adults. The reason, they are in the midst of growth and their cells are reproducing rapidly. For example, the devastation caused by Chernobyl. Residents who have observed thyroid cancer in children is more than 6,000 cases.
However, scientists later proved that if the children in the area have received stable iodine in after being exposed to radiation, a significant percentage of cancers can be prevented.
"I must emphasize, however, that stable iodine is not the end of everything when it comes to radiation exposure. Radiation does not only affect the thyroid. In fact, the region most vulnerable to radiation are the cells that line the intestines and stomach, and the cells in the bone marrow is responsible for to produce blood, "he said. by: Liputan6(MEL)
