There are still many people who think of heart disease as a disease of the blood vessels and the monopoly of men. In fact, women are also not escaped the disease is not contagious, which became the number one killer. Before menopause, women are more protected from heart disease because the hormone estrogen will give protection against mechanism effect  of the flow of blood to and from the heart. Estrogen also dilates the blood vessels so that blood flow smoothly. "However, after the woman is no longer producing estrogen or called the menopause, the risk is affected by heart disease as men," said dr.Priscillia Myriarda, SP. JP, in an event called the talk show to know Women about heart health, held at Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta, Wednesday (27/6/13). 

Keep Ur Heart

Diseases of the heart and blood vessels, according to Priscillia, caused by many factors, including factors of obesity and age.  "These conditions are exacerbated by poor eating patterns, rarely moving, and the habit of smoking," he said.Even though heart disease and blood vessels are much experienced older people, but nowadays more and younger people are already affected by stroke or heart pain. "The high intake of fat, salt, and less physical activity, be the cause of sore heart at a young age," he said. Medical examination (medical check-up) on a regular basis, it is highly recommended for men over the age of 40 and women over the age of 50. "Regular inspections enable one know for sure his heart condition. So that it can prepare preventive measures to prevent worsening of the disease, "he said. Besides people over the age of 40 years, Priscillia advocated a young person but have risk factors for heart disease, to begin diligently medical check-ups. The risk factors are, between others, suffer from diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity or smoking. Priscillia refers to the death of presenter Ricky Jo and House members Workplace Massaid. Both are still relatively young age, but died of a heart attack. No need to worry if it is detected as suffering from the heart because it means we can directly do the precautions and lifestyle changes. 

Eating patterns 

The risk of heart disease and blood vessels can increase if we are experiencing overweight or have a high cholesterol levels. This can be avoided by keeping a diet to stay healthy. "Simple carbohydrates like rice should have a portion of most small in our dinner plate, next is a side dish. The biggest portion was vegetable and fruit, "said consultant nutritionist Dr. Grace Judio-Kahl, in the same event. Fresh vegetable and fruit consumption to four servings per day. "For a side dish to be cooked anything except soaked in oil. Although the essential oils contain no saturated fat, "he said. For fish and meat servings Grace suggested that fragment is not too large.

The Fastest Diseases Transmission

Virus Illustration

The various properties of the disease, even some start immune to drugs, certainly a challenge for us to maintain good health by improving the immune system of the body. Although the incidence of the disease is not contagious, such as stroke or cancer, are now on the rise globally, but some infectious diseases are never lost. Dr. Daniel Caplivski, infectious disease experts from Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, says there are some infectious diseases with high transmission speed and alarming. It is among other things due to the faster people mobility, both between cities or countries. 

Here are some infectious diseases that are considered very alarming. 

Influenza 

Flu Virus continued to exist throughout the year. It becomes very dangerous if the new strain appears, for example, which is now the plague H7N9 in China. So far the virus is fatal in about a third of H7N9 patients hospitalized due to contracting the virus. "The new virus Strain resistance system makes it difficult for our bodies to give an equivalent response," said Caplivski. Although the trend of transmission H7N9 began to decline, but experts continue to monitor the virus. So far we can protect ourselves by doing vaccines of influenza, especially if traveling to China. 

Bacteria immune for antibiotics 

The doctors in the u.s. are made eager by an increase in cases of the bacteria immune antibiotics. "Bacteria have always had ways of dealing with antibiotics," he said. The concern is not so much a new-generation antibiotics made pharmaceutical companies. "Making antibiotics not profitable because of his research is expensive. More profit if the diabetes drug producing or slimming, "said Caplivski. Strains of bacteria that are immune drugs include CRE (Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriacease), MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aereus) and c. diff (Clostridium dificile). Bacteria-bacteria that could cause death if the infected because no drugs to deal with it. Most of the bacteria in the hospital. 

Tuberculosis 

Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis and attack the lungs. This disease can result in death if not promptly treated. No treatment has been completed can also trigger the TB drug for immune. 

MERS Virus

Last year the experts noted the 60 cases of MERS Virus, respiratory infections are more dangerous than SARS. The Virus is mostly found in the countries of the Middle East and Europe. 

HIV 

HIV infection is still a problem in many countries. Nevertheless rapid progress in medicine led to a lot of people with HIV/AIDS can live productively and long-lived.

Several Habits That Reduce Absorption of Calcium

Calcium is a mineral that your body needs in large quantities to maintain the health of the body. Calcium serves between other things to maintain bone density, maintain the rhythm of the heart, nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, blood pressure control, and was instrumental in the process of blood clotting. Unfortunately, calcium is included in a mineral that could not be fully absorbed in the body. Nutritionists Nanny Djaja said, consumption of calcium from food can only be absorbed about 70 percent by the body, while from supplements is about 30 percent. "Basically the human intestine cannot absorb the whole 100 percent of the calcium consumed," said nutrition teaching staff at the Faculty of medicine, University of Atmajaya in a press conference held at PT.Pfizer in Jakarta, Wednesday (27/6/2013). 

The amount of calcium that is absorbed can be much smaller due to some quirks that are less understood. Nanny says, there are some specific habits that effect the body's ability to absorb the loss of calcium, between others. 

1. Alcohol consumption 

Alcohol consumption is fairly significant in reducing the body's ability to absorb calcium is consumed. Even moderate doses of alcohol consumption can also be influential. 

2. Coffee consumption 

Almost the same as alcohol consumption, coffee can block absorption of calcium in the body. Then the coffee consumption should be no more than one cup a day, and do not be drunk after meals. 

2. Diets lacking calcium 

The absorption of the body that cannot be 100 percent requires people are consuming more calcium. Lack of calcium from foods can aggravate the drawback in the body. 

3. Excessive Sports 

Sports overkill makes the extra work that required more calcium. If we are not able to increase consumption of calcium, the body will takes it from the bone. 

4. Consumption of drugs steroids 

The steroid medicines consumed in the long term will result in the body experiencing a calcium deficiency. That is because the steroids can block absorption of calcium in the body. 

5. A High Diet in salt 

Salt is one ingredient that are blocking the absorption of calcium. A Diet high in salt will also increase the risk of hypertension associated with deficiency of calcium. 

6. High protein Diet 

Just as salt, protein can also inhibit the absorption of calcium. Although the protein needed for growth and cell regeneration process, but should be consumed is balanced as required.

Detection Of Heart Disease Risk Through Waistline

The gathering of fat in the abdomen can be a risk factor for heart diseases are obliged to look out for. Heaps of fat in the stomach so you Apple-shaped, have a higher risk than those with which the fat was concentrated on the hips and thighs, a pear-shaped. According to Dr. Grace Judio-Kahl, nutritional experts, is the belly Belly shape that is rounded. "So it's not just a pile of fat in the waist," he said in a seminar entitled to know Women about heart health at Bunda Hospital , Jakarta, Wednesday (6/27/13). People who have a stack of fat in the abdomen is likely to experience a disruption of blood flow to all parts of the body which is the benchmark the performance of the heart. "The greater a person's waistline, the risk of heart disease, the greater the exposure," he said. The size of the waistline in men to look out for is greater than 90 cm, while in women if larger than 80 cm. According to Grace, the size effect on all height. 

He explains, these guidelines show the fat content in (visceral) on someone. "Fat is a bit different from the other because of the visceral fat can be developed and issued about 200 kinds of proteins. This Protein can increase the heap of plaque in blood and impedes the flow of blood, "said a doctor from the weight loss clinic Shape-Up Indonesia. Excess fat should not be left. "Immediately reduce your intake of fat-rich and often physical exercise. Combined both effectively shrink waistline, "said Grace. The sport is done on a regular basis will reduce the amount of fat deposits in the body. In addition we also need to know the number of calories contained in each food. Food that is actually not the glut could be containing high-calorie.Grace exemplifies a fried donut with equivalent content of 300 calories six chicken breast poached or broiled. The number of calories is also equivalent to a small bowl of rice, vegetable, side dish and two small chicken breast pieces. Of the three types of food the choice of rice, vegetable and side dish richer and do not have the excess calories than if eating a donut sweet.

Daily intake of calcium the body needs about 800-1,000 mg for adults. In fact, this dose can be increased when pregnant and breastfeeding. According to Dr. Djaja Nannies, nutritionists from the Faculty of medicine University of Atmajaya, lack of calcium intake can lead to various health problems. "During this time, the lack of calcium is closely related to bone loss or osteoporosis. In fact, the impact is much more than that, "said Nanny in a press conference in Jakarta, Wednesday (27/6/2013). 

Nanny spoke, disturbances related to deficiency of calcium in the body. 

1. Osteoporosis 

Porous bone mass generally occur as you get older. Research shows that at age 25, the body will begins to experience a shortage of calcium as much as one percent a year. Enter the age of 50 years, the amount of calcium will be reduced by as much as 30 percent and at age 70 lose calcium will reach 50 percent. However, the Nanny said, it can be prevented with sufficient consumption of calcium each day. 

2. Muscle cramps 

Lack of calcium can trigger muscle contractions are not stable to result in muscle cramps. One commonly found in pregnant women. In addition to blood flow was triggered not turning smoothly due to pressure from the uterus that gains weight, cramps in pregnant woman is also triggered by a lack of calcium. "Then, before any pregnant women need to intake enough calcium," demolished Nanny. 

3. Palpitations 

Although it can be caused by many things, Nannies say, palpitations or pounding heart could also be experienced due to a lack of calcium. It is related to the function of calcium as one of the keepers of the rhythm of the heart. 

 4. Hypertension 

A new study shows, people experiencing hypertension most also experienced lack of calcium in the body. This may be related to disruption of calcium absorption due to consumption of foods high in salt, but could also be due to the function of the calcium is to control blood pressure. 

5. Rickets 

Bone-bending Rickets is caused by a lack of calcium intake on bone that still grow in childhood. Therefore, calcium intake since were children also need to be aware of. 

6. Cognitive Decline 

Often forget or unable to concentrate work on a tasks are symptoms of cognitive decline. Lack of calcium could play a role in this. Nanny said, calcium is an important mineral that plays a role in the transmission of nerve impulses. Thus, the lack of calcium can cause the transmission not going smoothly, then the occurrence of cognitive decline. 

7. Depression 

The research found a link with depression of calcium deficiencies. The average patient depression lack of calcium in the body. This may be due to decreased function of the body to absorb calcium, because depression is experienced.

"The usual Masks only inhibits the entry of particles, while the gas-burning results could not be impeded," he said when contacted by the Kompas.com on Tuesday (25/6/13). 

To prevent adverse effects of smog pollutants, Agus recommend using special mask that had the ability to filter out pollutants to over 90 percent. "The masks have an usable category n. decimal code N indicates the ability of the air filter masks, e.g., N 95 means that can filter up to 95 percent," said doctor consultant pulmonary disease work and environmental Pulmonology Department of Persahabatan Hospital Jakarta. 

Components in the smoke can be inhaled to lower airway (throat to lungs), is the size below 10 microns. "If regular mask can only filter large particles, which are small will breathes let alone gas," he said. Were with dr.Agus, according to dr.Nastiti Kaswandani, from children's Health Science Department , masks can help reduces the ill effects of pollutants, especially if used continuously.

Conditions that can trigger weight baby at birth is low and vulnerable children have impaired metabolism. As a result of processing and nutrient absorption is not optimally so that short stature. Short stature children their cells cannot grow optimally so that higher risk exposed to excess nutrient when it's up. "Adults who are overweight are more likely exposed to various diseases are not contagious, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease," said Minarto. 

Overweight in adulthood may also be caused by nutrient-hungry experienced when the cells were still children. "As a result when the adults all nutrients are absorbed.

Dangerous of Smog Are Vulnerable for Children's Health

Smog containing various pollutants if entering the airway can cause a variety of diseases. Children being the most vulnerable to the impacts of smog. Hazard effects of smog on health, according to dr.Agus Dwisusanto, pulmonary specialist, depends on three factors, namely the burning results, individual agents, as well as environmental factors including weather and wind direction. "The individuals who've had previous illnesses, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the smog could make his illness often relapse," said physician Pulmonology Division Faculty of Medicine University of Indonesia . He added, in addition to people who already had a history of respiratory disorders, the durability of his body lows as elderly people and children are the most vulnerable group affected the smog. According to dr.Nastiti Kaswandani, specialist of children's Health Science Department of Medicine, children are very vulnerable because their airway is not perfect. 

"Children's breathing Pipe diameter smaller than adults. If there are external stimuli, e.g., smoke, there will be swelling in the pipeline. As a result the channel mucosa swell and shrink service-pipe, "he said when contacted Tuesday, the Kompas.com (25/6/13). Swelling in the airway will ease the occurrence of blockage. "Breath be labored, if there is any mucus would add congested again," he added. Infection of the respiratory tract caused by germs that get carried away in the smog can also increase the risk of pneumonia (Pneumonia). "The research shows, children who are ill of pneumonia and his parents using firewood or other solid material that is burned, the risk of a worsening of his illness. Children who are exposed to pollutants smoke also have a higher risk of death, "he explained. Bad air conditions due to smog if weeks, according to Agus, can loose lung function. "If the components in the smoke that accumulates in the lung can reduces lung function," he said.

Too late to handle the complaint of hemorrhoids can also aggravate the condition of hemorrhoids.Data from the Department of Pathology In the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital said, 30 percent of patients with digestive disorders also have hemorrhoids.Hemorrhoids are enlarged blood vessels behind the bunch (vein) in the anus, directly below the limiting membranes of the rectum and anus. In medical terms, known as hemorrhoids hemorrhoids which is actually a group of blood vessels are veins.Though not a disease that can lead to death but the already severe hemorrhoids can lower the quality of life of the sufferer. Then before severe hemorrhoids happen, we must be careful to recognize the signs of hemorrhoids that soon got the handling.

Dr. Ari Fahrial Sham from the Division of Gastroenterology Department of Pathology In the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital said, signs of hemorrhoids generally cannot be detected early because still not cause symptoms. But there is no harm in paying attention to the following signs in order to get better care and more early.

Smog Is Dangerous For Health

Disaster-which happened in Sumatra has made the Government hurriedly because smoke also propagate to neighboring countries, Malaysia and Singapore. Besides the economic losses, disasters also keeps smoke health hazards. Exposure to high concentrations of smoke containing hazardous components can cause a variety of respiratory disorders. According to dr.Agus Dwisusanto, a lung specialist from RS.Friendship Jakarta, smoke component can consists of a steam combustion results, particles from burning materials, until the components are germs. Many lacks the inhaled depending on the distance and the duration of smog. 

"The people who lived near the source of the burning of the concentration of harmful deposits in the smoke is higher," he said when contacted Tuesday, the Kompas.com (25/6/13). However, if levels of pollutants from smoke accumulated, ones that are away from the source of the smoke could also feel the impact is serious. In Singapore, the country which was subject to the impact of smog, pollution standards index (PSI) there has reached 321 which means dangerous. "Although Singapore is far it turns out components of smoke seem to accumulate there. This influenced environmental factors such as wind direction and the level of air pollution in the area, "said doctor consultant pulmonary disease work and environment of The University of Indonesia's Faculty of medicine Pulmonology. Poor air quality due to the smog, can cause short-term effects and long-term on health. 

In the short term the smoke will irritate the mucous membranes of the body, from the eyes, to respiratory tract. "The eye is sure to be red, sore and watery. While in the airway causes sneezing and increased sputum production, "he said. Added by dr.Nastiti Kaswandani, specialist of Department of Health Child RSCM Jakarta, smog can also cause stimulation of the respiratory tract so that it triggers the allergy. "That's been exposed to asthma attacks can show up more often, so too are suffering from allergic rhinitis," said Nastiti. In the long term, dangerous particles in the smog will also damage the natural defense mechanisms in the respiratory tract. 

"The airway there are complex systems whose job sweeping the dirt, dust, or germs. Well, this will damage the smoke the Cilia in the respiratory tract so that the defense system of the body in the airway was down, "said Nastiti. In the long run, damage to the natural airway Defense Center will facilitate the entry of germs. "As a result of weaker body endurance, if there is a dangerous germs such as TB germs that used to be attenuated into easy comes in," he said. In people who have the habit of smoking, a defense mechanism in her breathing too easily damaged. "As a defense mechanism not great finally got the disease more susceptible," he explained. According to Agus, if exposure to smog can take weeks, lowering the pulmonary function. "The effect can cause chronic cough, constriction of the airway, can even trigger asthma in people who previously had no history," he said.

"Head circumference is an indicator of the volume of the brain. Increased head circumference is greater in the newborn indicates the growth of the brain more quickly, "said Smithers. This may be due to nerve structures related to developing faster-speaking intelligence in the age of the baby. Therefore, an increase in weight in the newborn was influential on the development of the cognitive aspects directly. Smither said, further study will focus on how well to feed a newborn.
