Less water, less Mood

Diposting oleh edinfo di 23.30 | 0 komentar

It turned out that the need for drinking not only appear when a person feels thirsty but not hungry any time someone takes a drink, because when people actually feel thirsty person is already experiencing mild dehydration so says the faculty of Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia DR. dr Dr.Saptawati Bardosono MSc.
About 70% of the human body consists of water, so lack of water can be harmful to the body. Water is a nutrient essential for life, all systems in the body depends on water. Described by Dr.Saptawati lack of water in the body can cause dehydration that is when the water in the body is not sufficient to perform normal work functions. Even mild dehydration will cause a disruption in the body such as the level of system performance, cognitive and mood. Results of recent studies conducted in 2010 by the hydration of the world's expert Lawrence E. Armstrong PhD and R. Harris Lieberman PhD who is an expert on neuro cognition from the United States. The study was divided into two parts. The first study involved 26 male and 25 female healthy adults with age range 20-23 years. In the study subjects were examined by performing a treadmill as much as 3 x 40 minutes at 28 C (room temperature work) and asked to complete the cognitive tests, the results of research indicate dehydration of 1.5% in men and mengngat cause difficulty concentrating, tired and tense. While women are more negatively affected by rapid dehydration that is only 1.3% dehydration can cause fatigue, irritability confusion, drowsiness, loss of concentration, dizziness and difficulty in completing tasks. This study is a great use of sophisticated technology that checks dehydration on ordinary people rather than athletes at room temperature everyday workplace. While the second study conducted on 20 healthy adult women who drink water as much as 2 to 3 liters a day, they were asked to fast for 23 hours and perform cognitive tests, study results show the same thing with the first study. Dehydration significantly causing confusion and fatigue in addition to drowsiness, headache, and disturbed emotions quickly. Even got a mild disturbance in finishing the job done everyday. Decline to 2% dehydration can affect short-term memory and ability to concentrate and learn.

Smoking May Increase Bad Cholesterol Levels

Smoking for some people has become a lifestyle, life feels empty without the smoke, the work becomes less enthusiasm, lack of concentration, and less social. Although some people ignore the danger of smoking but the dangers of smoking should continue echoed both through the media and scientific research in the field of health.
A recent study conducted by Dr. Adam Gepner from the University of Wisconsin School0f Medicine and Public Health in Madison United States revealed that smoking can raise levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and lowers good cholesterol (HDL) Cholesterol is a fat yellow, produced in the liver and has several functions between another to make sex hormones that are important to the development and function of sexual organs, adrenal cortex hormones that are important for metabolism and salt balance in the body, Vitamin D to absorb calcium in the body and bile salts that help the intestines to absorb fat. HDL cholesterol carries less and capable of carrying excess bad cholesterol in the arteries to be discarded, while LDL is the bad cholesterol that tends to settle in the arteries.
Tests carried out on 1500 smokers in which each participant smoked on average 21 cigarettes per day. After one year conducted smoking cessation, of 334 respondents (36%) who stopped smoking found that levels of HDL cholesterol in the blood increased by about 5% or 2.4 mg / dL HDL cholesterol. Another effect showed that weight gain occurred an average of 10 pounds after quitting smoking. While weight gain can affect cholesterol levels as well, both good and evil and a healthy diet and regular exercise may be used as a means to overcome this weight problem. Researchers also noted that it is unclear how the process of quitting smoking can affect cholesterol levels, could be due to the destruction of proteins that function to control cholesterol levels. Whatever happens to the visible benefits of quitting smoking is a healthy heart

Nuclear radiation caused cancer and Infertility

On Nuclear Power cleavage reaction of atomic nuclei in a nuclear reactor. This reaction produces some isotopes such as Xenon-133, krypton-85, and Iodine-131 with a release of energy. This decay process also produces radioactive substances such as alpha rays, beta and gamma. Among the three most dangerous gamma radiation. Type of radioisotopes commonly detected in gamma radiation is cobalt-60, cesium-137, cadmium-109, sodium-22, manganese-54, barium-133 and cobalt-57.

Leakage of nuclear reactors can release radioactive substances into the environment. The case of the 1996 Chernobyl release of radioactive material is great especially radioisotopes of cesium and iodine that contaminate water, food, and air. Report the impact of the explosion at Chernobyl released World Health Organization (WHO) declared around 4000 thyroid cancer cases occur in Belarus in 1990-2002, other than that reported increased cases of leukemia (blood cancer).

Chairman of the Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency (Bapeten) As Natio Lasman said, a person can be exposed to radioactive substances on the outside and inside the body. Because the radioactive substance can be entered during breathing, eating, drinking, or through wounds. Contamination can occur in sea water used as coolant. Radioactive particles can be ingested fish and will go into the human body which consume fish. Radioactive particles could be flown wind and contaminate soil, water and air around.

Radiologist who is also Chairman of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI), Prijo Sidipratomo say, so get into the body, radioactive isotopes will be distributed throughout the body. Most settle in the organ or tissue, partly out through the urine, feces, and sweat. Radioactive contaminants can accumulate in body organs according to the nature of physics and chemistry. If the body exposed to doses of 350-450 rem in quick time, there is a 50% risk of death within 30 days. Dose of 100 rem in a long time cause cell damage that can not be restored. Prijo say, cell damage can impair organ function. Depending on which part of contaminated radioactive substances. If exposed to the gonads (testicles or ovaries) may occur sterility. Moreover, it can happen mutation that causes cancer cells to organs and blood. The organs that are sensitive to radiation exposure is the thyroid gland, intestines, kidneys, spleen and bone marrow. Radioactive exposure in pregnant women may interfere with fetal growth, ie irregularities in the process of organ growth. Exposure in children was also dangerous since the body cells more vulnerable children. In addition, the child's body area is smaller than adults, so even though the amount of exposure to the same but the dose becomes greater.

To reduce the radioactive substance which has entered the body's effort to reduce absorption in the digestive tract, inhibiting the deposition in the organs of the body, dilution, change the chemical properties of materials and the use of chelate techniques.

Benefits of Fiber 1. Boost the immune system so the body is resistant to diseases especially deadly diseases
2. Prevention of coronary heart disease, fiber can reduce cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack
3. Prevent Constipation. Fiber can absorb water as it passes through the digestive tract so that the texture becomes soft stool. to get relief from constipation problem fiber consumption should be balanced with enough water when not drinking fiber will aggravate constipation or bowel disorders.
4. Maintain normal body weight, fiber helps weight loss programs, because fiber will reduce the amount of energy derived from carbohydrates, fats and proteins in a balanced manner.
5. Preventing colon cancer, in the colon, dietary fiber absorbs water so this will be a greater volume of stool and stimulate the nerves in the rectum to remove feces. feces containing the fiber more easily removed.
6. Destroy toxins in the body. Many diagnostic forms of fiber (eg mucilage from pea and bean, pectin from fruit and agar-agar from seaweed helps to remove harmful toxins from the body by binding and preventing absorption of toxin.
7. Avoiding the increase of blood sugar levels. Fiber helps maintain the food in the stomach which increases gradually release into the intestine. avoid a rise in blood sugar levels to prevent diabetes mellitus.

Due to unhealthy lifestyles such as high cholesterol cause blockage in coronary arteries that cause heart becomes stiff and easily torn, and this began to occur in people with age 30 years, said Director of the Jakarta Vasculer Centre, Dr. Med Frans Santosa, MD.
Medical Journal of Hart and Miller says at least 3% of cases of stroke due to blockage of blood vessels in the brain in patients suffering under the age of 30 years. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a section of heart muscle is blocked. if blood flow can not be repaired quickly, part of the heart will be damaged from lack of oxygen and can lead to death. Symptoms of coronary heart disease usually begins with severe chest pain and sudden, the patient often sweats, tightness or feeling like going to faint, but 50% of patients have a complaint that is not typical of heart experts said the Omni International Hospital Alam Sutera Tangerang, DR. Dasaad Mulijono Sp. Jp, MBBS. He said although the disease is lethal but that does not mean the disease can not be prevented, there are still ways to prevent heart attacks by adhering to a healthy lifestyle and regular medical treatment.
Avoiding risk factors for disease is the most important things from getting worse, a heart attack can kill in less than an hour, that's why rapid action against a heart attack sufferers would save lives. A heart attack can save lives and prevent disability if immediate treatment if started within 1 hour after the initial symptoms.
