First, the occurrence of disturbances in the retina or diabetic retinal. "It could blocks blood vessels because of diabetes, and it should soon be overcome by con-ser," said the expert's retina.

Then, a second disturbance of the risk factors for diabetes is cataracts. Because, diabetes accelerate the process that eventually crystallize people lenses faster cataract diagnosed before age should be. The disease arises due to disruption of cell metabolism in the lens, so the lens becomes cloudy and vision becomes disrupted because light can not enter into the eye. Actions to be undertaken to overcome the cataract is by surgery, "said Dr. Waldensius Girsang.

"Then the last is a condition in which the disease glaucoma eyeball pressure on high. Indeed, all the diseases caused by diabetes on the eyes leading to blindness if not treated properly," said Dr. A.M Ginting. Glaukomajuga should be done with surgery. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world and in Indonesia after the cataract. In Indonesia, the disease affects about 500,000 people own.

And the other 30 percent because of erectile dysfunction," said Dr. Djoko Maryono, adding that this happens because the nervous eyes and genitals had a blockage caused by sugar and fat content that is not burned earlier.

Meanwhile, according Girsang, those who have sensed a disturbance in the eye should immediately went to the doctor's eyes. Because if it was examined and it is known that the retina is disrupted, it can be done immediately suctioning action through the blockage in the retina. Fear, if the longer tolerated, blood vessels are clogged blood pcmbuluh in the retina would crack and eventually patients lose pcnglihatannya. In addition, acute diabetes is also very risky to the crystallization process of lens that is faster than people in general, so that over time a cataract, which, if the crust will be operating, "he said, describing.

A healthy tooth is teeth clean without any holes. With good dental care and regular, then there would be no dental cavities in our mouths. Therefore, try to get the maximum maintenance of healthy teeth.

Oral and dental care at an early age will determine the dental and oral health into adulthood. Some of the teeth and mouth disease can be experienced by children and infants when oral care is not done well, such as holes on the surface of the teeth, gums that are inflamed, and the presence of canker sores.

Tooth decay generally occurs at an early age (children and infants) usually because of food or beverages. Sweet foods like chocolate and sticky if not promptly brushed or rinsed will be left behind and causing tooth decay. Also drinks like tea, coffee, soft drinks, and cigarettes can cause a thin layer on the tooth called the stain so teeth become dull color, brown. Coarse layer of stain was easily attached by the remnants of food and germs, which eventually form a plaque, if not cleaned will harden and become tartar, and can creep into the roots of teeth. As a result, easy bleeding tooth, wobbly teeth simple and easy to date.

tooth and caries

Caries is one of the teeth and mouth disease caused by several factors. Diet one of the current trends of young people especially for girls who want to appear more PD and maintain the slimness of his body. But what is the relationship between caries and diet huh? Here I will try to explain a bit.

When we consume fruits like apples, apple will indirectly help to clean teeth naturally we are like brushing my teeth, well it is advisable to use the apple menu cover or replace your snack with fruit - fruit. In addition to our teeth and mouth healthy so our bodies stay slim:).

The relationship between diet and caries very closely related to the amount of sweetener or sugar consumption is consumed by our bodies, in fact God has created us as an oral warning gate and extraordinary. as where not, if the food we eat is not good for the body or against the gelaja that look will be seen in the area surrounding the oral cavity, such as tonsils, mouth ulcer, a split lip - breaks, caries, sore throat and the other - the other. Then identify the foods that you consume. Highly recommended to return to the simple lifestyle and return to nature. My advice from now on leaves food with chemicals and get back to Nature.

Just added:
Remember that cooking with MSG indicate processing food makers ill-equipped to process materials with a blend of culinary herbs - herbs that are available. When a chef or cook could be processed foodstuffs and ingredients do not need added flavoring ingredients.

Leukimia

Leukemia (blood cancer) is a type of cancer that attacks white blood cells produced by bone marrow (bone marrow). Bone marrow or bone marrow in the human body produces three types of blood cells including white blood cell (functioning as an endurance fight infection), red blood cell (function to bring oxygen into the body) and platelets (small part of blood cells that help blood clotting process ).

Leukemia is generally appear in a person since the days his small, bone marrow without clear cause has been producing white blood cells do not develop normal or abnormal. Normally, white blood cells to repeated reproduction when the body needs it or no room for the blood cell itself. The human body will give signs / signals on a regular basis when will the blood cell-reproduction is expected to be back.

In cases of leukemia (blood cancer), white blood cells do not respond to the sign / signal is given. Finally, uncontrolled excessive production (abnormal) will exit from the bone marrow and can be found in the peripheral blood or peripheral blood. The number of abnormal white blood cells of this excessive amount can disrupt the normal function of other cells, Someone with this condition (leukemia) will show some symptoms such as susceptible to infectious diseases, anemia and bleeding.

Leukemia can be detected when the disease / known as early as possible, especially in childhood, then have the possibility to recover significantly.There are many cases of leukemia who can lead a normal life again after they have undergone a comprehensive therapy.

your eyes health is your life

The eye is the human senses are very important / essential. Can be imagined if we had eye damage or blindness, we can not enjoy and feel how beautiful this universe.

In fact we often forget to make eye care, but like other parts of the body, the eyes may be affected by disorders or health problems. Disorder-disorder can be caused by air is not clean or polluted, radiation, sunlight, radiation from too long in front of computers, and other disturbances.

Studies conducted by the Eye Disease prevalence Research Group (2004) estimates that in 2020 the number of patients with eye disease and blindness in the world will reach 55 million inhabitants. This study also mentions that the eye disease and blindness will increase, especially for those that have been aged over 65 years. A person aged 80 years and over who represents 8% of the total population, suffered blindness as much as 69%.

Impaired general health of the eye that occurs is the reduction of visual function, red-eye symptoms without any decrease in vision function, and a red eye with decreased visual function. Until now, eye disease that is suffered is cataract, glaucoma, and infection.

Along with increased attention and knowledge of the effect of nutrition on health, especially the health of the eye causing rapid market growth of health products, food drug, health food, medical drugs, food supplements, health supplements, herbal medicine, natural medicine eye. Most of these products to health-shaped eyes that are now marketed supplements, medicinal foods, health foods, medical drugs, food supplements, health supplements, herbal medicine, natural medicine. In addition to antioxidant compounds (vitamins A, C, and E) which had previously been known to improve eye health, other compounds such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin, recently known as a compound that can improve eye health.

Lutein, a yellow carotenoid family of compounds found in many green vegetables. Lutein in the macula and are believed to protect the eyes from oxidative damage by ultraviolet radiation (UV).

Macula was in the middle of the retina and directly adjacent to the lens of the eye. Macula is a small area containing millions of cells that help produce sharp eyesight to read or see objects clearly.

Other carotenoid compounds present in the macula is is zeaxanthin, which are known to provide benefits for eye health.

Research conducted by Chitchumroonchokchai and colleagues in 2004 from Ohio State University, indicated that lutein and zeaxanthin may protect the human lens cells from exposure to UV light, which is a major cause of cataract disease. In addition, they compared the antioxidant activity of lutein and zeaxanthin as vitamin E. The results showed that lutein and zeaxanthin showed 10 times higher activity compared with vitamin E in protecting cells from damage caused by the lens to ultraviolet light.

In the same year was also carried out a study by Neuringer and colleagues, shows the ability of lutein and zeaxanthin in eye health. While testing in animals, sponsored by DSM Nutritional Products of Switzerland, showed that the supplementation or the addition of lutein and zeaxanthin increase the activity of antioxidants in the blood.

Another group of carotenoid compounds which appeared to have the ability to protect the macula from UV exposure is astaxanthin. Guerin et al. (2003) mentions that the ability of antioxidant compounds and anti-inflammatory effects of astaxanthin can provide eye protection from UV rays.

Until now, the antioxidant activity of the compounds lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin provide answers to the mechanism of the increase in eye health. Free radicals from UV light or air pollution, into the eye resulted in oxidation of susceptible molecules in the lens of the eye.

"So in fact you use glasses only if the activities require us to see the detail, the goggles need, just adjusted to the circumstances," said this mother of three children. He cited that the elderly have generally now devouring the newspaper every morning and demanding more accommodation so that the eyes require glasses to help see more clearly.
