Is it a stroke? Stroke disease is a disorder of brain function caused by blood flow to the brain is impaired (reduced). As a result, nutrients and oxygen to the brain dbutuhkan not properly fulfilled. Cause there are two kinds of stroke, namely the existence of blockages in blood vessels (thrombus), and the presence of a ruptured blood vessel. Generally a stroke suffered by the elderly, because of the aging process causes hardening and narrowing of blood vessels (arteriosclerosis) and the presence of fats that clog arteries (atherosclerosis). But some recent cases showed an increase in cases of stroke that occurs in adolescence and childbearing age (15-40 years). In this group, stroke is the leading cause of stress, drug abuse, alcohol, heredity, and lifestyle is not healthy. Causes of stroke In the case of stroke adolescence, genetic factors (hereditary) is the major cause of stroke. Frequently encountered cases of stroke caused by blood vessels are fragile and easily broken, or the blood system disorders such as hemophilia and thalassemia diseases are passed down from parents of patients. Meanwhile, if a family member with diabetes (diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure), and heart disease, stroke likely to be larger in other family members. The cause of stroke is a food with high levels of bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) is very high. These evil Koleserol widely available in junk food, or fast food. In addition, other causes of stroke is a lazy habit of exercising and moving, lots of drinking alcohol, smoking, use of narcotic and addictive substances, much less rest time, and prolonged stress. Rupture of blood vessels are also often caused by high blood pressure (hypertension). Symptoms of a stroke The initial symptoms of stroke are generally dizziness, head was spinning (such as vertigo disease), then followed with a speech impairment and mouth muscles. Other symptoms are feeling tergangguanya sensor (can not feel anything, such as pinched or pricked needles) and the body feels paralyzed side, and the absence of reflex
movement. Often also occur suddenly blind or blurred vision (due to the blood supply and oxygen to the eye is reduced drastically), disruption of taste in the mouth of the system and the muscles of the mouth (so often met with a wry face), paralysis of the muscles of the body, and disruption system memory and emotion. Common people can not stop crying because of paralysis of the brain controls the emotions system. It makes people act like a stroke patient psychiatric disease, but it's not. Things like this that need to be understood by the family of the patient. The healing process There are two main healing process that must be lived with. First is the healing with medicines in hospitals. Strict control should be done to keep the bad cholesterol can be lowered and did not grow up. In addition, patients are also prohibited from eating foods that can trigger a stroke such as junk food and salt (can lead to hypertension). The healing process second is fisiotherapy, which exercises the muscles to restore muscle function and communication function to approach its former condition. Fisiotherapi Fisiotherapi conducted with instructors, and patients must adhere to the exercise performed. If this is not lived Fisiotherapi seriously, it can occur in permanent paralysis of the limbs that have experienced paralysis. Healing in patients with stroke varies widely. There can be cleared completely (100%), some are only 50% only. Healing is dependent on whether or not severe stroke, the condition of the patient's body, in obedience to the patient undergoing the healing process, perseverance and spirit of the patient to recover, as well as support and understanding from all family members of patients. Often found that stroke survivors can recover, but suffered from severe depression because their families do not want to understand and feel very disturbed by illness (such as attitudes do not accept the person's condition, the harsh treatment because the patient had to clean dirt, submit the patient to the nurse who also treats patients with a rough, and so on). This should be avoided if a family member who suffered a stroke
Benefits of Garlic
Dr. Yongxiang Zhang of the University of Tokyo, Japan stated that the ability of garlic inhibit the degeneration of the brain and the immune system in animals is very impressive. That does not mean that garlic is able to restore youth or completely inhibit the aging process.But at least the benefits of garlic helps prevent aging process. In addition, according to research Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, SAMC chemicals found in garlic can inhibit cancer cell growth. By eating garlic, cancer risk can be reduced. High cholesterol levels are usually a sign of the aging process. Garlic is consumed regularly in a certain period of time can help lower cholesterol levels. Anti-cholesterol agent in garlic called ajoene help prevent blood clotting. Dr. Gilles Fillion from the Institute Pasteur in France suspect, garlic can help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.

the skin from the sun can cause skin cancer. Tea also contains fluoride which is known to strengthen tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. In a laboratory study in Japan, the experts found that tea helps prevent formation of dental plaque and kill bacteria cause inflammation of the gums. Research in Japan showed that pendudukanya tea producing region known as fanatic tea drinker, very low mortality rate due to cancer. Another study, carried out cooperation between research teams Oguni and cancer research center in Beijing to study the effects of green tea extract on mice that had been given food rations carcinogenic (cancer-triggering substances). Reportedly, the average rate of cancer in mice that received green tea extract half of the mice who did not obtain a green tea extract. The researchers believe that the polyphenols known as cathecin found in green tea, helps the body fight cancer cells. Another study conducted by Dr Oguni and. Masami Yamada of Hamamatsu Medical Center found cathecin Helicobator kills pylori, the bacteria trigger stomach cancer.
Brief of Asthma
Asthma is a symptom caused by abnormalities of the respiratory tract in the form of heightened sensitivity to stimuli from the environment as a trigger. Trigger symptoms may include fatigue the mind (emotional distress), physical fatigue, changes in the environment which is not expected (weather, humidity, temperature, smoke (especially tobacco) and smells that stimulate), respiratory infections, especially influenzaspecific illness, and allergic reactions of the material inhaled or ingested. Rate sensitivity of airway symptoms begins from mild symptoms (a runny nose / sneezing or coughing that is often recurrent / relapsed) to severe symptoms of asthma attacks (difficulty breathing). This situation is in fact characterized by a background of allergic reactions. The emergence of several levels of sensitivity of the recorded symptoms / can be expressed by the patient usually begins since childhood. Approximately 50% of symptoms will heal by itself, although at one time these symptoms will appear again at a rate more severe symptoms are often given the term asthma. About 55-6 -% of respiratory allergic diseases to be passed on to children or grandchildren and the rest resulting from environmental pollution due to less or still not getting the attention, because it's new symptoms appear as an adult rather than because it is a strange thing. Cause Basic problems in asthma lies in the respiratory tract abnormalities who dressed the reaction / inflammation (caused by allergic reactions) caused by exposure to these materials include: Dust is in the house of dust coming from the cotton mattress (especially long), carpets, sofas, old clothes stored in closets, ceiling roof, buku-buku/kertas old archives, etc.. Raw foods, especially species of marine fish, cow's milk, eggs, chocolate, nuts, etc..

What is Hypertension
Simply put, someone said to suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure if the systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg or diastolic pressure greater than 90 mmHg. Ideal blood pressure is 120 mmHg for systolic and 80 mmHg for diastolic. In many cases, the pressure was increased. Systolic blood pressure (top number) is the peak pressure is reached when the heart contracts and blood mempompakan out through the arteries. While diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) was taken when the pressure fell to its lowest point when the heart relaxes and fills the blood back. Increased pressure in hypertension is closely related to improper storage of salt and water, or increased pressure from within the body on the circulation of the blood vessels soft (peripheral). Although the causes vary, but the center is the imbalance in the renin-Angiotensin, which plays an important role in regulating blood pressure. Hypertension, which usually develops during middle age, more common in men and postmenopausal women. Family history of hypertension increases the risk; as well as smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, education, and low socioeconomic status. You need to be suspicious of suffering from hypertension if blood pressure is consistently pointing to the 140/90 mmHg or more. For those who are healthy (age 18 and over), the table below can guide you what to do based on initial blood pressure checks. The recommendations are very dependent on your blood pressure readings that have been passed, other cardiovascular risk factors, and the presence of other diseases. Consulting a doctor if necessary.
