Rumble-Seat Stroke

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 met properly. Cause there are two kinds of strokes, namely the existence of blockages in blood vessels (thrombus), and the presence of broken blood vessels.
Generally a stroke suffered by the elderly, because the aging process causes the hardening and narrowing of blood vessels (arteriosclerosis) and the presence of fats that clog arteries (atherosclerosis). But some recent cases show an increase in cases of stroke that occurs in adolescence and childbearing age (15-40 years). In this group, the leading cause of stroke is a stress, drug abuse, alcohol, heredity, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
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 blood system disorders such as hemophilia and thalassemia disease is 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 greater in other family members.
The cause of stroke is a food with higher levels of bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) is very high. Koleserol evil there are many on 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 early symptoms of stroke are generally dizzy, head spinning (such as vertigo disease), then followed with a speech impairment and mouth muscles. Other symptoms are tergangguanya sensitive sensor (can not feel anything, such as pinched or pricked needles) and the body feels paralyzed side, and the absence of reflex movements. Often also occur suddenly blind or blurred vision (due to 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 his emotions on the system. It makes people act like a stroke patient psychiatric illness, but it's not. Things like this that need to be understood by the family of the patient.
The healing process
There are 2 main healing process that must be lived with. First is 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 trigger hypertension).
The healing process is fisiotherapy second, that exercise 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 suffered paralysis.
Healing in patients with stroke varies greatly. There can be cleared completely (100%), some are only 50% only. Healing depends on whether or not the attack of severe stroke, the condition of the patient's body, the compliance in patients undergoing the process of healing, 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 deeply troubled by illness (such as attitudes do not accept the person's condition, harsh treatment because the patient had to clean dirt, handing the patient to the nurse who also treats patients with coarse, and so on). This should be avoided if a family member who suffered a stroke.

Garlic Benefits

Dr. Yongxiang Zhang of the University of Tokyo, Japan stated that the ability of garlic inhibit deterioration of the brain and the immune system in experimental animals is very impressive. That does not mean that garlic was able to restore their youth or completely inhibit the aging process. But at least the benefits of garlic help to hinder the 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. Obviously with a softer effect. He found that garlic is beneficial to help release serotonin, a chemical that is involved in regulating a wide range of moods and behavior, including anxiety, melancholy, pain, aggression, stress, lack of sleep and memory. High levels of serotonin in the brain tends to function as a sedative to placate you, facilitate sleep, and relieve melancholy. Garlic helps to normalize the serotonin system.

Tea Health Drinks
 
 
Tea is a tropical and subtropical plants that is scientifically known as Camellia Sinensis. From approximately 3000 types of tea result of intermarriage, the results obtained three kinds of tea process, namely green tea, oolong tea and black tea. Method of processing tea with tea leaves chopped and dried in the sun so that chemical changes before being dried. The treatment will cause the leaves to brown and black tea flavor gives typical.
Green tea, the oldest type of tea, especially well-liked by the people of Japan and China. Here the tea leaves had a little processing, heating and drying so that only green leaf color can be maintained. While oolong tea is more of a type intermediate between black tea and green tea. The three types of tea each have health benefits because they contain so-called biochemical bond polyfenol, including flavonoids. Flavonoids are a group of antioxidants that are naturally present in vegetables, fruits, and beverages such as tea and wine.
Subclass of polyphenols including flavonols, flavones, flavanon, anthocyanidins, catechins, and biflavan. Derivatives of catechins such as epi-cathecin (EC), Epigallo-cathecin (EGC), cathecin Epigallo-gallate (EGCG), and quercetin is commonly found in tea. EGCG and quercetin is a powerful anti-oxidant with a power of up to 4-5 times higher than vitamin E and C, which also are potent antioxidants. Antioxidants are known to prevent cells from damage since any damage to the cell will contribute more than 50 diseases.
Green tea contains EGCG, as well as black tea, so to say a biochemist. In a study by Dutch researchers say, consume 4-5 cups of black tea each day will reduce the risk of stroke by 70% compared with those who consumed two cups of tea a day or less. Other reports mention more of black tea consumption was associated with lower heart attack cases. John Folts, director of the Medical School, the Central Artery Thrombosis Research and Prevention, University of Wisconsin, USA to find the key properties of flavonoids in tea. Research results showed that flavonoids in black tea can inhibit the clotting of blood platelet cells, thus preventing blockage of blood vessels in hantung coronary disease and stroke. Another study mentioned that fanatical tea drinkers had higher levels of cholesterol and low blood pressure, although it remains unclear whether these things were directly caused by the tea.
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA to find the effect of the use of green tea on the skin up to 90%. It turned out that tea is very effective in protecting 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 the 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 caused by 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 receive green tea extract.
The researchers believe that polyphenols known as cathecin contained in green tea, help the human body fight cancer cells. Another study conducted by Oguni and Dr. Masami Yamada of the Hamamatsu Medical Center found cathecin kill Helicobator pylori, the bacteria trigger gastric cancer.
 
Nutritional Content of Red Beans
Kidney beans actually has the ability to cope with various diseases, among them capable of reducing blood vessel damage, can lower blood cholesterol levels, reduce blood sugar concentrations, and lower risk of colon cancer and breast cancer.
nutrient content in beans is very good for the health of the human body. Dried red beans are a source of vegetable protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins B, folasin, thiamine, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Folasin are essential nutrients that can reduce the risk of damage to blood vessels.
Kidney beans contain fats and sodium are very low, almost free of saturated fat, and free kolersterol. In addition, red beans are also a good source of fiber. In 100 grams of dried red beans, can produce 4 grams of fiber which consists of water-soluble fiber and insoluble fiber water. Water-soluble fiber can significantly lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
To get the perfect properties of red beans, there are some things that need to be done in the process. After soaking, discard the soaking water red beans. Then boil the red beans in a covered saucepan for 3 minutes, and let stand for 2 hours so the juices settle. Replace the water bath with water boiled, and let stand overnight. The next day, red beans ready to be cooked into a delicious meal. This needs to be done to eliminate the ability of red beans to produce gas in the gut that would make the stomach feel bloated.

Asthma At A Glance
Asthma is a symptom caused by respiratory disorders in the form of heightened sensitivity to stimuli from the environment as a trigger.
Triggers of symptoms may include fatigue of 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 tract infections, especially of certain influenza illness, and Allergic reactions of the materials are inhaled or eaten.
Level of sensitivity of the respiratory tract symptoms begins from mild symptoms (a runny nose / sneezing or coughing that 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 some degree of sensitivity of the recorded symptoms / can be expressed by the patient usually starts since childhood. About 50% of symptoms will heal by itself, although at one time these symptoms will appear again at more severe symptoms are often given the term asthma. About 55-6 -% in respiratory allergic diseases can be passed on to children or grandchildren and the rest due to environmental pollution due to lacking or still not getting attention, because it's new symptoms appear as an adult not because it is a strange thing.
Cause
Basic problems in asthma lies in the respiratory tract abnormalities are dressed the reaction / inflammation (caused by allergic reaction) caused by exposure to ingredients such as:

    
Dust that is in the house of dust coming from cotton mattress (especially long), carpets, sofa, old clothes stored in closets, ceiling roof, buku-buku/kertas old archives, etc..
    
Food items especially species of marine fish, cow's milk, eggs, chocolate, nuts, etc.. (Being the group makann materials that have characteristics that irritate al spicy, cold, sticky, sweet / sour, salty, etc.. Not the cause but the trigger).
    
The environment, among others, fur derived from agricultural materials (pollen, hay, grasses, bagasse, etc..), Ingredients derived from poultry droppings and feathers and pets.
What is Hypertension?
Simply put, someone said to suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure if 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, both the pressure increase.
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 gently on the circulation of the blood vessels (peripheral). Although the causes vary, but the center is the imbalance of the renin-Angio-tensin, 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 140/90 mmHg pointing figures 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 highly 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.
