Health Term V : All About Vitamin

Vitamin is a complex chemicals that are important for body to work properly. For some vitamins, our body can not be able to produce it alone: so it should get it from food and beverages. There are 13 main vitamins: A, B, C, D, E, K, B12, and seven ( 7 ) B Complex. Actually, our body just need a small portion of  it. 
Vitamin can be classified into 2 groups :

  • Group of water soluble vitamins
  • Group of fat soluble vitamins

Fat-Soluble Vitamins

This vitamin is absorbed from intestine with fat, then stored it in fatty tissues inside our body ( primarily in 
liver ). This type of fat-soluble vitamins are : vitamin A, D, E and K.
In general, these vitamins would not be removed through urine such as other vitamins. The back-up stocks of these types of vitamins in our body sometimes enough to meet the needs requirements of our bodies for years, so we do not need to supply them every day.

Once the excess of these vitamins can be happened, it is extremely dangerous to our own body. Hence, a balanced diet which contains enough these type of vitamins are good for our bodies. And if there is a deficiency of these type of vitamins, usually caused by the emergence of disorders of fat's function or less-unequal absorption in our own food composition.


Water-Soluble Vitamins

Most types of these vitamins are only stored briefly in body and quickly disposed its excess through urine. exception for B12 vitamin, which is the only one which stored in the liver. That's the reason why it takes 5 to 6 years until the symptoms of deficiency comes up in the surface. The water-soluble vitamins are B12 and C.

Lack of water-soluble vitamins are common happening compare than deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins. That's the reason why is very highly recommended to eat food composition which are rich of water-soluble vitamins every day. Fruit and vegetable are the main producer of these type of vitamins. Consuming vitamin that dissolves in water every day, usually will not causing poisoning ( the excess would be disposed these vitamins through our urine ).


All About Vitamins

Vitamin A : is a main source for growing and developing the bones, teeth for children. And main source for eyes-visual function, composition to cell body for protection to the respiratory cells, digestive cells, urinary tracts against infection, and very good for skin healthiness. 

Vitamin A Deficiency :

The lack of vitamin A can be happened usually caused by impaired absorption of fat by the intestine: due to the cystic fibrosis ( genetic abnormality with characteristic where can not absorb the fat and the lungs have had infected ), bile duct obstruction, lipid-lowering drugs usage. Other caused which found in poor and insecurity food area is the arrangement and unbalanced food and nutrition. 

Vitamin A deficiency will result in lack of clarity of eyes' vision at night, dry eyes and swollen, dry and rough skin, and less resistant to infection. Severe deficiency of vitamin A would cause the damage to teeth and bones, causing ulcer in eye's cornea ( if not taking an action would lead to blindness ).

Vitamin A Excess

The long term of vitamin A excess will cause hyper-vitamin A, with the following symptoms : headache, feeling tired easily, nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, dry and itchy in skin, hair loss, for women will affect to monthly menstruation in not sufficient and suitable timing, bone pain, swelling in liver and spleen. Excess of vitamin A during pregnancy will cause fetal defects. 

Food Suggestion which Rich of Vitamin A
  • Food stuff that contain vitamin A are as follows : liver, fish oil, egg yolks, milk and its processed products, almost in all type of vegetable and fruit.
  • Eating food that rich of carotene 9 which are found mainly in palm oil and carrots ). These 2 would not cause hyper-vitamin A
  • Artificial ingredients like vitamin A is called retinoid is good to lather the skin.

Vitamin B12 : is well known too as sianokobolamin, an important vitamin due to its role-key for some enzymes' activity. B12 is needed in producing genetic materials for cells  ( growth function ), in making red-blood cells in marrow bones in its used in folic acid and carbohydrate and smooth in functioning of the nerves system. 

Vitamin B12 Deficiency

The deficiency of this vitamin mostly happened because intestinal absorption disorder that can cause megaloblastic  anemia, and for some people can be happen because they avoid to eat all food that from animal ( not eating meat, eggs, milk and other results of animal's ). Beside megaloblastic anemia, deficiency of B12 can cause canker sore on mouth and tongue. 

If in long term of B12 deficiency is happening can occur the marrow bone damaged with symptoms as follows : numbness in feet or hand, twitch feelings in feet and hand areas, weak of memory, prone to depression. 

Vitamin B12 Excess

There is no story can occur once the excess of this type of vitamin due to its water soluble-scheme. 

Food Suggestion which Rich of Vitamin B12

The main source of B12 vitamin are easy to find in liver, chicken, meat, fish, eggs, and milk processed products.







Note From Me:
To be continue tomorrow, the B Complex is really complex written. see you again.

Health Term IV : Summary to Malaria

Yiiihaaaawww.. Back again to today post. I would like to write about Malaria disease which is nightmare for most tropical countries in the world. Estimated 290 millions people yearly got this disease around the globe. This disease causes high fever and can be sometimes cause complications to kidney, heart, brain, blood and can lead often to death. In here we have to aware that even small animal can be carrier for disease that perhaps we need to pay attention, do we already do good to nature? In fact, the prevention for this type of disease is not hard compare to Dengue, it needs regular basis treatment to surrounds and be active to keep the nature clean which meaning give the space enough to the mosquitoes to live in their own habitat so they are also will reduce to invade human-beings.




What is Malaria ? and Who can Cause Malaria?


Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite and spread by the the bite of Anopheles mosquito ( as a carrier - red ).


That causes Malaria is the single-celled animals called plasmodium. There are four (4) species that can bring Malaria to humans :

  • Plasmodium falciparum
  • Plasmodium vivax
  • Plasmodium ovale
  • Plasmodium malarie
Each type of  those parasite spends most of their life cycle inside of Anopheles mosquito then again spends their rest of life cycle inside the human's body.


Symptoms and Incubation

The symptoms of malaria are shaking, chills, fever ( only appears when the red-blood cells burst and have more parasites inside the blood ).

The distance range time between the mosquito's bite and the appearance of malaria's symptoms, approximately one or two weeks, somehow there are also emerging symptoms after a year later when the patient ever took anti-malaria's drugs.


Fever Symptoms in Malaria which caused by Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malarie

The fever which caused by these three types of parasites have three ( 3 ) stages :
  • Stage of feeling cold and chills throughout the body
  • Stage of high fever that can reach 41 degrees of body temperature
  • Stage of sweating drenched body as like bathing and pyretic.
Occasionally, red-blood cells which parasites have been conceded can be broken at the same hour on each cycle and the fever will appear every two days ( if caused by plasmodium vivax and plasmodium ovale ) and fever can be happen every three days ( if caused by plasmodium malarie ).
Other feelings when malaria comes :
  • Bad headache
  • Body aching
  • Vomiting sometimes can be happen
  • The end the patient would feel so weak and fall asleep for moments

The Signature Mark of  Plasmodium Falciparum

Malaria which caused by plasmodium falciparum should be solved seriously than the three mentioned above. Patient has to be hospitalized. 

Plasmodium falciparum invade all red-blood cells in whole its life cycle. Others plasmodium only eat the young -aged or old-aged of red-blood cells. Meaning that plasmodium falciparum is highly malignant by eating and destroying almost whole the red-blood cells and can lead to the death after few hours from its first fever symptom. The fever would take longer and no pattern. So much red-blood are damaged that can cause blockage of the arteries which has role-key play as the supplier food nutrients to important body organs, specially to kidney. 

Nodes can swell and affect the brain so that the patient experienced comma and seizures. The destruction of red-cell blood would bring hemolytic anemia. Patient eventually develops liver and kidney failures.


Medication

Doctor would usually provide a function of chloroquin to deadly the malaria parasite in the blood ( usually would be given to the 3 types of plasmodium ovale, vivax and malarie. For the plasmodium falciparium already resist to this chloroquin ).

Once the doctor detects that caused by plasmodium falciparum ( the detection will be doing by the blood test where later will show the amount of parasites already reduce or not yet ), the doctor would give quinine or the drugs which mixed of  pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine. If the patient lack of red-blood cells, the blood transfusion is needed to be taken. 

After healed, the patient who ever suffered from common three types of  plasmodium, usually the doctor would give primaquine to cleaning up the rests of parasites which still stay inside the blood. 
Note:  primaquine can cause anemia hemolytic to some poeple who has particular gene abnormality. 


The Doctors' Special Note ( once I interviewed them with this today's term )

The prevention of malaria is not hard to do once we do eager to eradicate malaria plasmodium parasite through anopheles mosquito by cutting their life cycles. The easiest way to do are just cleaning up the areas which are possible for mosquito to live ( puddle, water containers etc ). Once it clean the mosquito have no parasite to live in them too. 

Happy Day !! Tomorrow is our Indonesian Independence Day !!! MERDEKA !!! ( merdeka = Freedom )

Health Term III : The Existence of Virus in Universe


Powered by FeedBurner

Refer to my previous posts most of diseases caused by virus. Then today I try to write about what virus is. Its existence in this universe. So we all do understand what the meaning of virus itself and its reference due to diseases. Here we go what definition of virus is ( but this is only a simple view, please if anyone eager to enrich this part, kindly sending me email ). Hope it will be useful for all of us.

" Virus is the smallest type of germs that cause disease which has sized approximately 
0.5 to 0.01 the size of the smallest bacteria " 

The difference between virus and bacteria is in the structure and the way of breeding of virus were far more modest than bacteria.

Up to now, the presence of virus is still questionable. Whether the virus is including in living creatures or just a collection series of molecules that can reproduce itself in a state favorable for the virus itself.
The main work of virus is attacking the other organism cells, which then invasion and make it that cell to be its own place culture to do reproducing. Once the virus outside the cells, it can not be able to do it works. Virus can not hold its typical work-scheme as other living creatures do: such as metabolism processing ( processing nutrients in the body ).

Virus is a parasitic form to all living creatures in the universe as like in mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, plants, algae, even in bacteria. Most viruses are caused disease, although some are not. 


Virus Structure and Its Method of Breeding

Note: In this part, I would write the interesting subject of virus. How they formed itself as like they are maths experts in doing this. I appreciate this part, that every creatures has their own unique characteristic, then it make me so in love with all this universe which has shown us in every single creature in life.

  • A virus that consists of only 1 piece of nucleic acid core which surrounded by 1 or 2 protective layers that made from protein. 
  • This protective layer is formed by a number series of sub-unit protein arranged to be congruent symmetrical shape, such as spiral like a tube or square formed ( don't we notice this, it is like geometry isn't it ? )
  • Beyond the first layer there is again a second layer which called by virus envelope. This envelope consists of protein as well. Sometimes the envelope disappears when the virus enters the cell. 
  • Nucleic acid which contained in the nucleus of a virus called genomena. Genomena consists of a string of genes that has command codes to multiply the virus itself. 
  • Virus core was divided into 2 types; viral core may contain DNA or RNA. 


Later if  I have permission to put the image. I will enrich this article with an image. Because that's great view, a simple one image I found.

Health Term II : All About AIDS

Powered by FeedBurner

Today I write a bit : All About AIDS. Just crossed my mind once my old friend was passed away, he was dead and judge as the " The Cursed Disease " refer to his HIV/AIDS per - rumour ( I don't know exactly what the dead cause) . He got that disease because he was a drug user, using drug with needle. In here I would just re-write the articles which flying around in books and internet and make this simple by explaining in global views only and to enrich my site in health section. I acknowledge myself by writing this and share it to the universe. Hope it will useful for anyone.


What is AIDS 

AIDS is abbreviation from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, namely loss of the immune body due to HIV infection.


What is HIV

HIV is abbreviation from Human Immunodeficiency Virus. So, HIV is the virus which cause AIDS. HIV is 'retro viruses' just lately days in past 30 years this virus came up into the surface of the world and made the world also curious with the way of HIV's movements. Previously this HIV was called HTLV or LAV, which officially in 1986 the name changed into HIV.

This virus attacks the T4 cells in the body which in charge of organizing the body defense's mechanism. Not all people who infected HIV will be positive get AIDS, only 1% - 5% who ended up with AIDS. But if someone already has been positive diagnosed by AIDS, will not be able to escape from the death angel in sooner time-being. 


Who Can Get Easily Affected By HIV/AIDS

People with AIDS are mostly found in people with homosexual, bisexual, drug users who injected by contaminated syringes. Sometimes the recipients of blood donors may also be affected by AIDS for receiving contaminated blood with virus in it. 


AIDS Transmission

The principal ways of AIDS transmission are :
  • Intercourse ( men's & women's genital, anal and mouth ) also Heterosexual relations with patients or carriers of the HIV virus
  • Ties blood to blood ( bloods transfusion or sharing needles )
  • From mother to fetus

Other routes of AIDS transmission which rarely exposed are :
  • Wounds caused of contaminated needles
  • Contaminated kidney recipients
  • Recipients of tainted sperm donation

Common Mistake of Thoughts that AIDS can be Transmitted are :

" Transmission of the virus doesn't occur through touching, holding, breathing the same air,
use a plate of glass of the patient "


Diagnose & Symptoms

Diagnose by doing blood tests, in aim to find anti bodies to HIV can be done to determine whether a person suffering from this virus.

The incubation stage which found through the result of blood tests can be treated with anti - biotic medicines, anti-cancer, anti-virus, and radiation. Regrettably, can be dead or still living with the HIV virus which still brought the subject and in time being can be suddenly rise up and attack the body. At this stage the patient won't feel any symptoms. 

Should realizing that to evidence in determination the presence or the absence of HIV is more difficult and complicated. Therefore, it is highly advise for those people who are at high - risk ( such as homosexual, prostitutes, drug addicts who use injections ) when the result is negative, the examination of HIV must be repeated again after 6 months.

For those who tested positive for AIDS in advanced stages can be determined through further investigation by doctors of antibodies to HIV, then doing paper suction Western, and follow-up observation typical infection or cancer.


HIV Infections
  • Doctors' examination of patients with HIV but no symptoms, will usually reveal abnormality such as swelling of the lymph nodes.
  • For more severe infection, patient experience skin disorder; face skin inflammation 
  • For more severe infections than those mentioned above, patients experience severe weight loss, diarrhea, fever, and thrush in mouth area ( candidiasis )
  • Another follow up infections are more severe herpes simplex, tuberculosis, shingles, brain damage or mental deterioration
  • Severe worst infections are stricken with cancer ( usually sarcoma caposi ), the brain lymphoma, some infections such as pneumonia pneumokista, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, etc
Patients usually died due to advanced infections mentioned above.


Treatment & Medication

Indeed the symptoms can be treated with antibiotics or radiation., but so far still have not found yet an effective vaccines or drugs to fight AIDS.

Therefore, the most effective way to fight AIDS is PREVENTION. By using rubber condoms in sex; specially with the partner who is assumed to hit HIV, using disposable syringes, and avoid dangerous sexual activity.

Expectations in Interferon

What is Interferon
Interferon is the name of group of proteins which produced by cells in response to viral infection and other stimuli.

What The useful of Interferon
Interferon serves to inhibit the breeding of viruses and increases the activity of killer cells - specific lymphocytes that are part of the immune system.


Interferon Hopes As Medicine

Interferon has been used as a medicine used to treat hairy cells leukemia types.

Interferon could also be expected to cope various cancers, such as sarcoma sarcoma Kaposi ( skin cancer in the suffering of AIDS infection ). Interferon also offers hope in attempt to overcome a dangerous viral infection which can disturb the immune system in the body such as AIDS.

The Way in Producing Interferon 

Interferon produced by human cells are mixed breeding with a particular virus or made synthetically  in the laboratory from a particular nucleic acid.

Hopefully in near future, the doctors experts, pharmaceuticals will be able to sort-out the effective medicine and treatment. 
Let's hope and pray and do the best.

Health Term : All About Cancer in Global Views


Powered by FeedBurner

Today I gather some information what already around internet and making it a simple review due to my previous post before due to rhabdosyarcoma.  I hope it will be useful for us in understanding what cancer is. I hope later i can enrich this site with more useful information in future in every field in universe. 

" Cancer is a disease whose symptoms are caused by the growth of wild cells in body organ or 
the tissue organ in our body is often called also as malignant tumors"

Which area of the body mostly that cancer can be found ?
" Most cancer can be found in lung, breast, colon, skin stomach or pancreas ".

Which area of the body rare that cancer can be found ?
" Rarely cancer can be found in network maker of blood cells in bone marrow ( leukimia ),
in lymph nodes, muscles and bone, testicle, nasal sinus, ovary,lip & tongue".

Then, what is the different between malignant tumors ( cancer ) with benign tumors 
Malignant tumors ( cancer ) while growing and developing capable to spread and penetrate the surrounding tissues  and capable to clog the channels, damaging the nerves, and eroding the bone.The way the cancer spreads is through the veins of blood vessels and through lymph channels to other body parts.
And the way of benign tumors is reverse than malignant tumors.

Who Can Affect The Cancer
Cancer is a disease that has been already existing before centuries. Cancer can be happen to humans, pets, birds, and fishes. Cancer can occur in infants due to the events during the pregnancy most happens because of the radiation. Most cancer can be found in adults.


How Cancer Can be Grow and Develop in the Body

Cancerous growth begins at the time when oncogenes ( genes that control the growth and breeding developments of cells ) which live in cells are changed by an element which called carcinogen.

When the cell transformed into a type of  'tumor-forming cells', which called by evil transformation; the changes of oncogenes passed on to its descendants. Thus, the abnormal cells were born. Abnormal cells appeared and divide faster itself than the normal cells.
Abnormal cells usually showed a lack of differentiation, which means no longer in certain time being can run its  host special functions and regardless setting of the hormones and nerves. These abnormal cells become parasites in the body, which can not be able to give contribution to even its own networks but more even they continue to take and spend the food of its own landlord.

In few years later, when the abnormal cells grow in quite a lot of numbers; the patient of cancer felt the symptoms of the disease. The speed growth of abnormal cells are vary, depending on the tissue of the origin network. Experts assume that in breast and lung cancer, the abnormal cells that have been there 5 years earlier since the first time the patient have had felt the first symptom.


Symptoms of Cancer

A number of signs as an early warning that could be a clue to suspect the presence of cancer, as follow below mentioned :
  • Weight loss with no apparent reasons
  • Sores or ulcers that won't heal for more than 3 weeks
  • Mole that enlarging, itching and bleeding
  • Severe headache that occurs frequently
  • Prolonged hoarseness
  • Cough with along sputum mixed with blood
  • Abdominal pain that won't go away
  • Testicle that change shape and enlarge
  • Urine mixed with blood without feeling pain when urinating
  • Change in bowel habits
  • Lump or change in breast shape
  • Nipple discharge blood or liquid
  • Genitals area for women is bleeding or blood spot between periods or after periods/menopause

Diagnosis


There are 4 main types of tests that can be perform to diagnose cancer :
  1. Cytology & Biopsy test 
  2. Imaging Technique ( radiology ) 
  3. Laboratory Chemical Test
  4. Direct Examination
Then if you want to find out more about cancer, you can visit and read the article in : cancer-topic

Hopes 

For the possibility of cure depends on the type of cancer and which body part has indicated as cancerous. But don't worry, nearly nowadays cancer is curable, the patients which diagnosed cancer can live longer. More even now, this universe gives us solution by sour sop's magic, in near future ( hopefully ) the pharmaceutical world would produce good medicine based on sour sop main ingredients in aim to cure cancer. 

Keep the Faith !

The Magic Of Soursop For Human Kind In Universe !


Respective owner of Picture is http://www.trinigourmet.com

Sour sop's phenomenon as a Medicine For many Disease

Aliases : Soursop (Inggris), Corossol atau Anone (Perancis), Zuurzak (Belanda)  guanábana (Spanish), graviola (Portuguese), Brazilian Paw Paw, Corossolier, Guanavana, In Indonesia called as durian benggala, Nangka belanda, and Nangka londo
Latin Name : Annona Mirrocata L


What Inside in Sour sop Fruit
  •  Water contained, 
  • The highest contains nutrients is carbohydrate.The special thing is this fruit of type of the carbohydrate is that reducing sugar ability ( glucose and fructose ) with levels 81.9% to 93.6% from total sugar contained.
  • Low fat is 0.3gram/100gram, meaning is good for people who is in diet. Sour taste in soursop derived from non-volatile organic acid, particular malic acid, citric acid, and isositrate acid.
  • The most dominant vitamin in soursop is vitamin C which about 20mg/100g in the flesh of fruit itself. The human's needs for vitamin C is 60mg in a day. Due the numbers of soursop's 20mg, meaning is it is quiet high numbers to provide and complete the human's need of vitamic C.With the requirement for vitamin C in humans would be very good to for improving endurance, the immune system and at the other hand is good too for slowing down the aging.
  • Contain mineral which dominant enough are calsium with 14mg/100g and phosporus with 27mg/100g. Both minerals are important in forming the strong bones and prevent osteoporosis.
  • Sour sop is rich in non-nutrional elements,which has high fiber ( dietary fibre ) in respectively number up to 3.3g/100g of its flesh.
  • Sour sop is rich of phytochemical compounds which rich of beta carotene elements. There is not much reference about this phyto - chemical studies in which way can explain to established this soursop as an essential nutrient, but there is limited evidence to this phyto - chemical can be a great impact for health due to the dietary fibre, polyphenol anti-oxidants, and anti-flammatory effects.

Historical Proven That Sour sop is a Medicine

It has been in millenia there is research for this phytochemical terms, then in 1970's the Health Research Institute were taken based on the Indians's habits life who live in Amazon forest. Some parts of trees such as barks, roots, leaves, fruit's flesh and more even the seeds, over centuries can be able to cure Indians for their medicine scheme. They believed soursop has capability to cure heart disease, asthma, liver problems, and arthritis.

Then, in 1976 due to :  http://www.blackherbals.com; noted that there is prominent study by the National Cancer Institute which focusing on phytochemical in soursop which know as annonaceous acetogenins. It was proven that soursop can be able to be a killer cancer cells in the extraordinary result by doing experiments spreaded into 20 independent laboratories which conducted and supervised under National Cancer Institute. Many researchers fixed that if the soursop gives powerful and medically proven that soursop can be able to cure all types of cancer or tumor.

Again based on http://www.abcarticledirectory.com:  there was a study which was conducted by Chatolic University South Korea found that soursop are having ability to select, discriminate, and kill colon cancer-tumor cells with 10,000 times more potent than adriamycin or chemotheraphy.Soursop can choose and kill the evil tumor-cancer colon cells while the healthy cells are not disturbed or touched. Compare to chemo theraphy which can not be able to distinguish cancer cells and healthy cells where ever can cause negative effects of nausea and hair-loss.

Purdue University, Indiana, USA study about the soursop's magic and found that the leaves of soursop able to effectivelly kill tumor-cancer, particularly tumor-cancer cells such as prostate, pancreas and lungs.


The summary results of all studies about sour sop that this tree or leaves or seeds has ability as like a magic wand to :
  • Attacking evil tumor-cancer with naturally safe and effeciently, without nausea, hair-loss, weight-loss, as occurs in chemotheraphy
  • Protecting the immune systemand prevent badly infections
  •  Increasing energy and improve physical appearance ( slowing down the aging )
  • Effective and sufficient weapon in targetting and killing the evil cells from 12 types of tumor-cancer cells
  • Empowering work tasks 10,000 times stronger in slowing down the growth  of tumor-cancer cells compared than adriamycin or chemotheraphy
  • Deselecting the healthy cells as the target to kill
  • Taking action as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungial, effective against many types of worms and parasites,lowering down the high blood pressure, and normalize the nervous system that are less good.

The Tips and Tricks in Alternative Natural Medication  Indonesian Style Recipes by Using Sour sop
  • Sour sop as Prevention tumor-cancer
For prevention, soursop can be consume in regular basis habit either by way to drink the juice or to eat freshly the flesh

  •  Sour sop's leaves for Curing Tumor-Cancer
For healing the tumor-cancer, boil about 10 dark-old leaves into 600ml of water until boiled up to 200ml left ( 1 glass/cup alone ). Drink this water cup alone, 1 time in a day. The effects of drinking this boiling soursop leaves, we might feel warm-hot as like fever and sweating in body.
This way is not an instant way ( anyway nothing in the world can be achieve without process in time-being though ), it would take 3 - 4 weeks to drink it regularly and gain the benefits of healing.

  •  Sour sop's leaves for curing Back Pain
Boil 20 soursop's leaves with 5 glasses of water ( 1 glass = 200 ml ) until 600 ml left boiled left. Drink 3/4 glass = 150 ml per-day.
  • Fruit Sour sop for Diarrhoea Baby
Use only soursop which is ripe. Soursop is squeezed and filtered to get the water essence. Give 2-3 table spoons to the infant.

Review of Rhabdomyosarcoma Cancer


Powered by FeedBurner

Today I was watching a movie entitle " Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan " ( It's Indonesian tittle; meaning in English is Letter to Heaven - red ). This movie is an Indonesian movie which about Gita Sesa Wanda Cantika which had nick name as Keke who still brave and never give up to the life even she got Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer and this cancer took her life. The movie is based on true story in Indonesia whom happened to Keke; she passed away in 2008, She was just 13 years old that time, when she got noticed she was infected that cancer. She was the first person who infected Rhabdomyosarcoma in Indonesia. 

In this film are told that Keke was a jolly person: everyone loved her. She was exceptionally well in school, in modelling and the world to sing. Her life was perfect until finally the cancer came to her life. But she didn't give up. She struggled her cancer and always keep the faith that things would be fine, and ever been declared that she was cured. But then again, the cancer came back again into her life, even more deadly. The cancer made her pretty face became damaged, her body became weakened and often bloody nose, and her long hair got slowly loss.

It is said that there is beautiful statement from Keke; she wanted to be like Sirius star. A star which always shines bright despite bad weather even once.

Rest in Peace Keke - Gita Sesa Wanda Cantika.

Then now I wonder what is Rhabdomyosarcoma Cancer is ? 


For us to know better about what is Rhabdomyosarcoma is; I link you to a source that can be explain better than I. Here is the link : http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/Rhabdomyosarcoma/DetailedGuide/rhabdomyosarcoma-what-is-rhabdomyosarcoma.
This cancer is infected commonly to children or teenagers.


And in this post also I would like to put more reference which might be helpful for others to deal with this type of cancer. This is the link : http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/rhabdomyosarcoma/overview.html

I hope everyone will be cured who ever infected to this cancer.

Again, Rest in Peace Keke. If you would like to see Gita Sesa Wanda Cantika, this is her facebook link : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gita-Sesa-Wanda-Cantika/132703763419665


Health Matters: Obesity Perception in Pro&Cons

Powered by FeedBurner


Obesity is different from being over weight. 

Obesity is a disease due to excess body fat '. 

Then what is the parameter of obesity itself then?
1. People have not considered obese when weight has not been above 20% of ideal weight for her/his height.
2. Obesity can be happen when there is difference in energy supply and the body usage. 
So, many times found that obesity people sometimes not eating more than the skinny people. There is no exact parameter yet how to definite obesity due to the difference of the energy needs in a person. Energy needs are determined by the energy needs to maintain the basic body metabolism, namely the energy needed by the body when rest time to perform vital organs function.

Then what causes obesity?
  • The thing to note is that are genetic predispositions that contributed in a person obese. Children whose parents are overweight have a tendency to be obese 10 times more than ordinary weight parents.
  • Over weight because low basic body metabolism most happen in over weight people because they are not moving actively the body so much
  • Certain hormonal disturbances
Awareness : Overweight can be step up into obesity perception

The possibility diseases for obesity people:
  • stroke and high blood pressure
  • coronary heart disease
  • diabetes mellitus
Again to be aware for men who in obesity problem, the list of possibility disease would be in longer list such as : colon cancer, rectal and prostate. 
To be aware for women; the list can be top up to more disease such as : breast cancer, uterus, cervix and worst in osteoartritis.

The most common mistakes what people did to prevent obesity
  1. Using appetite suppressant drugs.
  2. Perform binding dental operation in aim to allow teeth have difficulties in chewing food.
  3. Do the folding gastric stomach operation to shrink the stomach size so can be able to feel full and stuff faster.
  4. Perform cutting small intestine to be shorter the digestive cart in aim to reduce the food absorption 
Some people might think those ways it was one of ways to do diet and reduce weight. But it was wrong and not necessary to do that because after all the fat would be stay and congested inside the body, then the real obesity fat excess was created. 

Then what the effective things to do to prevent this obesity ?
  • Make food arrangements in such ways to reduce the calories intake between 500 - 1000 calories of the ration should be needed per-person who suffer obesity.
What reason that way above can be effective once in logic thought meaning is that would be lack of calories? The lack of calories can be covered by burning down the exist fat which is already existed inside the body.
  • Do sport as like gyms, jogging, aerobics, tread mill etc in daily regular basis 
What reason those mentioned above can be helpful to take down the obesity ?. These activity is effective to fastening the burn down the exist fat inside the body and to fastening the basic body metabolism to be active when it was in rest time. 
  • The most effective is the strong will and confident of the person to commit in doing it and aware of his/her own health. 
By doing those ways above, the body would have regular basis activity and train the body itself to activate the ' comma ' cells which have been 'sleep' for quiet moments. It is not a quick way, it will reduce normally 1 - 2 pounds in a week.

Powered by FeedBurner



Last night I was remember my old fellow in Dubai. I wandered how is she right now. Is she fine? She was a fun friend for me, we worked in different outlet but we stayed at the same flat that time. We talked about many things. She is an Arabs from Morroco, a really fun friend. But, sometimes I concerned about her because she is always taking insulin injection after she ate due to her diabetis mellitus, she has to take it. She has this diabetis mellitus in early age in 25 years old. Then, now what I do? I search in Google what is diabetes mellitus and what is insulin? Really, due to my previous post which entitled Let's Move Our Body and Mind where WHO noted that diabetes mellitus was in the Top 5 that we need to aware a lot. In this post, I want to share a bit knowledge which I can summarized from Google about what diabetes mellitus is and what insulin is. Hope it will be useful for all of us.

" Diabetes is a disorder because the pancreas doesn't produce insulin or produce insulin but not sufficient, so the patient experience hypoglycemia ( glucose level is too high )" 
" Insulin is a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar; from liver cells to supplying energy to fat cells to be stored it ". 
Meaning is the insulin have a role-key to stimulating glucose blood uptake by the liver and the muscle cells to be burned for energy or converted as glycogen ( muscle sugar ). When and if necessary, insulin can be able to change again the glycogen into glucose to meet the needs of our body for facing physical activity or facing the thread. In the short way, insulin has an important role play to serves and keep all the networks body to obtain adequate quantities of glucose. 

Inability the body in using and storing glucose lead to weight loss and often feel tired, and cause chaos of  lipid's metabolism and can speed up the damaged to small blood vessels.

There are 2 main types of diabetes :
  • Diabetes that depending on insulin. This type is categorized as the heavy one. Appeared at the age below 35 years old, between ages of 10 - 17 years old. The disease is growing very fast. The cells which producer of insulin in pancreas that may damage by the immune system suppressed itself followed by a certain virus infections. But it is noted that this type is a genetic, but once the dust of actual fact it was noted that just only few who are true affected heavy diabetes mellitus. This become worst because of ( perhaps ) affected by a viral infection that attacks the pancreas on hold several years ago.
  •  Diabetes that not depending on insulin. This type of diabetes develops slowly, specially attacking those 40 years old of aged. Many has discovered by doctors due to this term on patients while doing routine medical check up.  Insulin still made, but the amount is not sufficient for the body needs. This is also genetic. Particularly attacks those are over-weight.
The cause of diabetes in addition of an offspring, can also be caused by something else such as obesity, pancreatitis, thyrotoxicosis, some drugs on corticosteroids and dieuritic, some infections, pregnancy. Those mentioned before can cause or aggravate the diabetes melittus

Care and Treatment

Goals of care for those in the detection who has possibility of diabetes or for those who already affected by diabetes is to prolong life, relieve symptoms, and prevent long-term complications.
  • Diabetes patients with insulin-dependent ; care and treatment means regular injections ( can be taken alone or with other people ) 1-4 times a day in accordance with the doctor's advice. Patients should reduce the input of carbohydrate and split evenly in a day in a tight schedule and regular basis. Patients is advised to bring sugar grains to prevent hypoglycemia, strictly forbidden to fly a plane, train or work done in high places because it is dangerous when the disease comes to attack.
  • Diabetes patients with non insulin-dependent; the treatment can be often solved by diet only. Setting up the carbohydrates evenly in a day to prevent spikes in blood sugar levels. When the diet can not be longer lower the glucose, the patients will be given by hypoglycemic drugs that can stimulate pancreas to produce more insulin, but it remains to be done with focused and regular diet and doing sport to support the diet aim and reduce the weight. 
Advice
  • People with diabetes are encouraged to have a card that stating that he/she is a diabetics and always carry it anywhere, if attack anything happens will soon overcome and given appropriate help.
  • People with diabetics are encouraged to become members of diabetics group in aim to reinforce and support each other and can be able to obtain the latest information 'on how' the latest treatment in well and properly schemes.
Complication

The most heaviest complications were found are: ulcers in the leg which can lead to foot amputations, constriction blood vessels, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disorder, and cataracts.

Complication most found because the patients doesn't follow the doctors' advises. Meaning is that it is a high awareness and do the advises in preventing the complication, only with high discipline and regular basis treatment, so many diabetics people can live as most normal people up to an old ages life. 


My Advice

Kindly visit widgit so you can have better result with up-dated information about diabetes. They have good sources for us to learn. 
Later in next post, i would try to find an alternative solution medication treatment source information by universe creatures which might help diabetes.

Today article was inspired by a study nowadays about our lifestyle behaviour that are less good and affecting our own health.

As many degenerative diseases was reported that lately many people came earlier; when it should be declined in organ functions which only happen commonly to old age.
The disease came because of adverse changes in the pattern of our own life. We neglect to pay attention to nutrition and minimal motions practising in our life style.

Here is the WHO news footage about the TOP 5 largest disease that haunts came at young age :
  • Heart Disease ; WHO put this disease as the number one cold-blooded killer in the world. The record of 2008, 25.7 million people died caused of this disease, approximately 12.8% of total deaths in the world in 2008.
  • Stroke ; In 2008, stroke accounted for mortality as much 10.8% of the total number of deaths in the world. Estimated 6.15 million people died from stroke suffered. Stroke is caused by constriction of blood vessels.
  • Chronic Lung Disease ; a total of 3.28 million people worldwide died of chronic pulmonary  disease associated with this. The amount is equal to 5.8% of total deaths in the world.
  • Respiratory, Throat and Lung Cancers ; These 3 diseases caused 3.1% mortality in the world with casualties amounting to 1.39 million people in 2008.
  • Diabetes Mellitus ; 1.26 million people died from diabetic is 2.2% in the calculated number of deaths in the world in 2008.

Then which one of our lifestyles causes us to decline in organ function at the young age? 
  • Poor eating habits such as irregular eating time-line; eating patterns that do not pay attention to the amount of nutrients needed by our own bodies; excessive eating paterns that lead to excessive level of sugarin the body
  • Lackness of drinking water habitual which is in previous post I did explain the benefit of water for our own good health
  • Lack of activity in a moving body that can affect the dynamics of body organs is hampered due to fat accumulation are just concentrated on few body parts that are not balanced in the distributions of substances, the food substances into our body..
  • Smoking habit. Knowingly or not ( and this is a valuable lesson for me personally as well as writing this article ), we accounted smoking habit of our beloved universe to make the air in surround us become unhealthy, especially because of the lack of a disproportionate number of trees to suck up the CO and CO2.
In some people affected by these diseases may be due to congenital genetics defects. However, we need to note here is that we can correct the situation if indeed we would be a genetic of the disease. And for expecting the non-genetically to always going love ourselves to always paying attention to the dynamics of our own organs body parts.

Let's Rock , and Let's Move our Body and Mind !!

Tips 
  • Get used to bring healthy biscuits which rich in wheat inside our bag, so each time how busy is our activities, a healthy dietery food is always there with us; and ready for the intake by the body.
  • Get used to eat 2 banana everyday due to the membran fibre banana has is good for digestive organ in our body. 
  • Get used to bring drink water bottle that we can re-fill any time. Avoid cold water.
  • Get used to drinking water as soon as we wake up from sleep as much as 1 glass. 
  • Avoid food that contains MSG
  • Get used to move our bodies. A very easy way though we do not have enough time to do jogging, gym or whatever it is; make a habit as like we put our goods which are we always use in daily such as our mobile phone ; put in a place that far from the reach of our hands. Thus, our body would move to find it and to reach it. this one is the most effective way to accustom ourselves to move specially to people who are busy working and alway stick with the desk and seat. 
  • For smokers as myself ( I try to quit anyway :-) ), get used to smoke away from the people around specially in a room where not only us who stays there inside. Get used to feel guilty for having participated in polluting the air in our beloved universe. Start make list guilty project as like me to statr planting trees and in goal to growing it nicely for every 1 packet cigarette we've already exhausted suction.
