What is cholesterol harmful?

If you hear the cholesterol, the first time what you think? Certainly is a negative and harmful substance to our bodies. That's right? Then is it true that cholesterol has a character that is not good for the health of our bodies? Well before you decided to have the effect of cholesterol is not good for the body, please read and understand about the cholesterol in the previous article here. So how so we can know and keep blood cholesterol levels? Currently there is only one way to find out your cholesterol and blood fat is by doing tests of blood drawn after fasting we do for one night, or approximately 10-12 hours.

After inspection we will know how much cholesterol in our bodies. The following are levels of cholesterol in the blood of normal:

• Total cholesterol <200>
• HDL cholesterol from 35 to 65 mg / dl
• Cholesterol LDL <150>
• Triglycerides <200>
• Ratio of total cholesterol: HDL cholesterol <5>

Oops result your cholesterol too high? Do not panic, continue reading. Now we need to know the factors leading to increased cholesterol in the blood. If we know the factors that cause high cholesterol in the blood so we can keep it to normal and balanced.

1. Genetic factors. The body produces too much cholesterol. As we know 80% of cholesterol in the blood produced by the body itself is in the heart. There are some people who produce more cholesterol than other people. This can be caused by hereditary factors. In these people, although only a few foods that contain cholesterol or saturated fat, but the body still produces more cholesterol.
2. Food factor. Of several factors of food, fat intake is very important to note. Fat is a food ingredient is very important, if we do not eat enough fat then our energy will be reduced, but if we eat too much fat can cause damage to blood vessels. As we all know fat in foods can come from animal meat, fat itself can be divided into 2, namely:
• Saturated fats come from meat, coconut oil.
• Unsaturated fats made up of: omega-3 fatty acids, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids.
  

From the latest research results show that:

• Fats derived from fish, called omega-3 may prevent the occurrence of sudden death caused by coronary heart disease.
• Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce levels of LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk the occurrence of clots in blood vessels.
• Omega-6 fatty acids derived from vegetable allegedly also prevent coronary heart disease.
• Omega 9 fatty acids known as olive oil, also found in palm oil which has undergone a special process. Omega 9 fatty acids can cause elevated levels of HDL cholesterol.
• In most cases, cholesterol comes from the food you eat foods that contain saturated fats such as meat and coconut oil.
• Unsaturated fats found in vegetable oil when used for frying with high heat will be able to change their chemical structure so that it could result in the negative.

From the above explanation can hopefully help you and provide knowledge about cholesterol-forming factors. And can have a conclusion that not all cholesterol harmful to our bodies. So how to keep cholesterol levels in blood can you read my next article here.

Malnutrition

Consumption on a person's diet determines the level of health or nutritional status is often called. If the body is in optimum level of nutritional health in the body tissue, which fulfilled the necessary nutrients, it is called an optimum nutritional status. In such conditions the body free from disease and have durability is excellent. However, if the consumption of a person's diet is not balanced with the needs of the body will be in error due to nutrition (malnutrition). Malnutrition can be classified in 2 types, namely:

1. Excess nutrients (overnutrition). Excess nutrients lead to more degenerative diseases. Degenerative diseases are diseases that accompany the aging process. Degenerative disease that is often experienced includes:
• Obesity
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Stroke
• Osteoporosis

How many nutrients your body needs every day?

Often we give priority to taste delicious food without attention to the amount of nutrients in food. Because it makes the food we eat does not meet the body's nutritional needs. If the body's lack of vitamins, minerals, calcium and fiber, it can trigger a dangerous disease. It should be noted for your diet by eating foods that meet the nutritional needs of the body. Some of the nutrients the body needs such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, calcium and so forth.

Then what is the body’s nutritional need for each day? Please note that the nutritional needs of different individuals are different, several factors that influence the gender, age, weight, and type of activities conducted. Here is a reference to the need of nutrients the body needs every day in adulthood:

Knowing of fat foods

Right now the danger of excessive cholesterol in the blood increased enough worrying. Several attempts were made to reduce cholesterol in the blood with how changes in diet and lifestyle. But most of them are having difficulty, even frustrating, because many attempts fail to reduce cholesterol in the blood. One of them is the prohibition against the consumption of saturated fat and some foods that contain lots of cholesterol. Many people who think that by not eating fat at all able to prevent chronic diseases such as heart attack, stroke and diabetes.

Reducing the fat content in foods we do is important. But the same case with the importance of balancing calories consumed with the number of the energy we need for activity, it should be kept in balance of fat intake body. Because fat is one of important nutrients in our body and helps keep of organs function. Without enough fat in our diet, the body does not will be able to run the repair function is essential for the body and the risk of shortages fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E, and K can occur at any time. The role of vitamin D in helping to prevent osteoporosis by helping the absorption of calcium is one example of the functions in our body fat.

It is also important to understand the relationship between cholesterol in food and cholesterol in the blood. In some people, reducing saturated fats and cholesterol in foods will only be useful to prevent them do not produce cholesterol and other fats in the deeper levels higher than genetically normal. In such cases, one solution is to with cholesterol-lowering treatment. If we are concerned about cholesterol or other fats that increase, nutrition information on below can help you identify the source of fat in various types of contained in foods:

1. Saturated fat (saturated fat): These fats are usually solid at room temperature and can raise blood cholesterol levels. Source of foods containing these fats are:
• Meat especially organs and meat processing (liver, hot dogs, meat smoke pieces); beef; pork; meat chicken (especially the skin).
• Full-fat dairy products, including fresh milk, regular yogurt, cheese solids, ice cream, butter, cream, sour cream and cream cheese.
• Coconut oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil, cocoa and cocoa butter.
  
2. Monounsaturated fat (monounsaturated fat): This type of fat is usually a liquid at room temperature. This type of fat consumed will lower blood cholesterol levels but does not affect the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or lipoprotein very thick, known as "good" cholesterol. This type of fat source on:
• Nuts, including peanuts, cashews, almonds, Brazil nuts, pecan and Pistachios.
• Avocado, olives, and vegetables other fatty.
• Peanut oil, olive oil and canola oil.
  
3. More unsaturated fat (Polyunsaturated fats): These fats are usually liquid in form room temperature and consume them to reduce blood cholesterol levels if included in the low-fat foods. But unfortunately this type of fat also has been known can reduce levels of HDL cholesterol (“good" cholesterol is beneficial for the body). The source of this type of fat is:
• Legumes include beans, nuts chestnuts, and walnuts.
• Pumpkin seeds, sesame, and sunflower seeds.
• Corn oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, oil safflower, and cottonseed oil.
  
4. Cholesterol: Cholesterol in foods that only comes from animal sources and processed will raise blood cholesterol. Instructions from American Heart Association suggest to only consuming less than 300 mg of cholesterol a day.

Upshot: we can make various efforts to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, such as through diet or exercise. Handling cholesterol special treatment is only done if the diet and exercise, you still have not got the desired results.

Trigliserides

Triglycerides or triasilgliserol is the main constituent of vegetable oils and animal fats. Triglycerides not cholesterol but a type of fat found in blood that is packaged in the form of lipoprotein particles. Eat fat-containing foods will increase levels of triglycerides in the blood and tend to raise cholesterol levels. Fat derived from vegetable oils do not contain cholesterol but high triglycerides containing in durian, coconut. Triglycerides can not be separated from cholesterol because they both support each other illnesses. A number of factors can affect high triglycerides in the blood such as obesity, high saturated fatty foods, foods high glucose / carbohydrates and alcohol.

Triglycerides are formed as a result of the metabolism of food, not only in the form of fat is also a form of carbohydrate foods and excessive protein, which is not entirely necessary as a source of energy. This triglyceride levels will increase if we consume excess calories, greater than our needs. Most natural fats have a complex mixture of various triglycerides, fats that melt at a temperature different. Cocoa butter consists of only a few triglycerides, one of which contains palmitic, oleic, and stearic. This led to a sharp melting point, which causes chocolate to melt in the mouth without a greasy feel.

The following is the threshold of triglycerides in the blood:

• Normal levels of triglycerides: a maximum of 150 mg / dl
• high threshold levels: between 151 to 250 mg / dl
• High triglyceride levels: 251 - 400 mg / dl
• Very high levels of triglycerides: 401 mg / dl or more
  

Triglyceride levels above 200mg/dl can damage the health if the levels. If above 500 mg / dl would disrupt the function of the pancreas.

Nutrients For Our Body

Human consumed foods contain various elements. There are elements that are useful and some are not beneficial for health. Various substances in foods can be enzymes, nutrients, or toxins. An element of nutrients contained in foods that provide health benefits for our bodies. Each consumed foods contain different nutrients. The difference may be the type of nutrients contained in food, as well as the amount of each nutrient. One type of specific nutrients may have on type of food, but it could be possible nutrients are not present in other foodstuffs.

For one type of certain nutrients, may be more contained to one type of food, but there could be no at all other foods. Also certain amount of nutrients found in significant amounts in one types of food, but could be found only in very small amounts in other foods. Therefore so that the body is not one of lack of nutrients, then we should not depend on one type of food alone, but should consume a variety of food types.

Nutrients are classified based on several things, which is based on function, based on the amount needed by the body and based on its source:

1. based on the function. Each nutrient has specific functions. Each of these nutrients can not stand alone in body build and run the metabolic process. However, these nutrients have different functions.
• Nutrients as a source of energy. Our body gets energy from nutrients beneficial for our activity and metabolic processes. Nutrient substances belonging to the function gives the energy is carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Food that serves as a source of energy such as: rice, corn, wheat and sweet potatoes are a source carbohydrate; margarine and butter is a source of fat; fish, meat, eggs are a source of protein. These three nutrients provide energy for body donation. These nutrients are producing energy that can be used for movement and physical activity and metabolic activity in the body. But the largest contributor to energy the third element of these nutrients is fat.
• Nutrients for growth and maintain body tissue. These nutrients function as the cells forming the tissue. If the deficiency is to consume the nutrients and the growth of human development will be retarded. Besides these nutrients also serve to replace cells damaged and maintain organ function. Nutrients included in this group are proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. However, nutrients that have a source dominant in the growth process are a protein.
• Nutrients as regulators / regulatory processes in the body. Metabolic processes in the body needs in order arrangements balance occurs. For that amount of nutrients needed to manage ongoing metabolism in the body. In our bodies also need to balance, to the metabolic processes that occur in the body needs to be set properly. Nutrients that function to regulate metabolic processes in the body are minerals, vitamins, water and protein. But the main function is regulating substances as minerals and vitamins.
  
2. Based on quantity. Raw foods contain nutrients that your body needs based on the quantity divided into two, namely:
• Macro nutrients are nutrients needed in large quantities with unit’s gram. Nutrients including the macro nutrients are carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
• Micro nutrients are nutrients the body needs in small amounts or small but in food. Nutrients including micro nutrients group are minerals and vitamins. Micro nutrient use the unit mg for mineral and vitamin content.
  
3. Based Sources. The food we eat everyday can be distinguished by its source, namely:
• Vegetable sources are nutrients that we get from plants such as vegetables and fruits.
• Animal sources are derived nutrients the body from food of animal origin such as meat, fish, and eggs.

Nutrition

Nutrition is an organic substance needed for normal functioning of the organism from the body systems, growth, and health care. Nutrition is one of the basic and the foundation for a healthy body. Nutrients obtained from the body of food and drink we consume. Nutrition is then applied to the whole body to be used wherever needed. Carbohydrate converted into glucose or fuel for the body, protein is broken down into amino acids and fat is broken down into fatty acids. For a person want to be healthy, must eat enough food to get balanced nutrition. If the body get a balanced nutrition and appropriate requirements means that the immune system is stronger, protected from the disease and will obtain better health. Is a balanced nutrition is a balanced diet of nutrients obtained from various foods to meet nutritional needs for healthy living, smart and productive.

A poor diet can have adverse health effects, causing deficiency diseases such as scurvy, beriberi, and kwashiorkor; health-threatening conditions such as obesity and metabolic syndrome, in the long term implications of diet and lifestyle lead to unbalanced chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and diabetes.

Research in the field of nutrition study the relationship between food and drink to health and disease, especially in determining the optimal diet. In the past, research on nutrition is limited to prevention of malnutrition and disease determines the basic needs of nutrition standards in living beings. Figures nutritional needs (nutrients) of this basic internationally recognized in terms of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). To determine and calculate the amount of your RDA is just here. Along with the scientific developments in the field of medical and molecular biology, medical evidence shows that the RDA has not sufficient to maintain optimal body function and prevent or assist in chronic disease management.

The medical evidence shows that the root of many chronic diseases is oxidative stress caused by excess free radicals in the body. The uses of nutrients in the optimal level, known as the Optimal Daily Allowance (ODA), proven to prevent and treat oxidative stress that helps prevent chronic disease. Table of Suggested Optimum Daily Allowance can be found here. This optimal level can be achieved when the number and composition of nutrients that are used appropriately. In disease management, the use of nutrition as a complementary treatment can help the effectiveness of treatment and at the same time overcomes the side effects of treatment. Therefore, nutrition / nutrition are closely associated with optimal health and improved quality of life.

Mineral Water Benefits (article 2)

In the second article about the benefits of mineral water for the health of our bodies, you might ask, whether the water consumption in significant amounts will only make us frequent urine? The answer will be found in the following articles. This article is a continuation of the previous articles that discuss the benefits of mineral water for the health of our bodies. Further benefits are:

1. Good for the heart. Mineral water can help cure heart disease, rheumatism, skin care, diseases channel breath, bowel, and female diseases, etc.

Drinking water will not make fat because water does not contain calories, sugars and fats.
4. Creating a healthy body. Other functions in the body of water is to cleanse the body organs from bacteria and viruses that then be removed from the body through urine and sweat. In addition to remove toxins from the body of water also helps improve the body's immune system. So with healthy drinking water and the right amount will always make our bodies healthy.
5. Prevent the body from fatigue and stress. Have you ever experienced if we are short of water? No doubt the body will felt weak, if our bodies are weak and we must finish the work that was never finished so stress can not be avoid. Different situations if we are healthy body regardless of the amount of work to get it over with so we can easily handle it.
6. Distribute nutrients the body needs to muscle and bone. The function of the water and blood in the human body can not separated from the flow of nutrition and nutrients to all parts of the body.

Apart from the above functions in the body of water can also make hair healthy, acne-free face and looks more refreshed because it can prevent wrinkles on the face.

Water out from our body through the urine and sweat for about 1 liter per day and the water coming out through the process of respiration. Therefore, health experts recommend that consumption of water in our body at least 2 liters per day, but if you include people who are often sweaty so the water needs of more than 2 liters per day.

So many health benefits of water for the body, for that we need to keep water consumption into the body by health. Do not drink only while we are thirsty, this is the wrong habits, because thirst is a sign that the body we are running out of water. Remember to "Drink at least 8 glasses of water / 2 liters per day is healthy living habits" that should always be done.

Mineral Water Benefits (Article 1)

Mineral water is a vital substance our body needs, 80% of our body consists of water, even our organs are comprised of more than 80% water, the brain consists of 90% water and the blood of 95% water. However, water can not be produced in our bodies, therefore the body must get water from outside to maintain the body's metabolism so as not to interfere. Addition of water is needed to maintain body health.

Benefits of mineral water for our bodies are too much, so we have to maintain existing water levels in our bodies by consuming mineral water in accordance with the needs of our bodies. Some of the benefits of mineral water for our bodies, among others:

1. Help facilitate the digestive system. The process of digestion in our body needed water. so that problems such as ulcers indigestion, constipation can be prevented. The burning of calories in the body will be run efficiently.
2. Water can help slow the growth of trigger substances to prevent cancer and kidney stone disease and liver as well as the water makes the body more energy.
3. Skin beauty treatments. To get a beautiful skin, should be treated either from outside or from within the body. Treatment from the outside by always keeps the skin clean and maintains humidity. While treatment of the one obtained from the water we consume. If we consume less in the water, the body will absorb the water in the skin so the skin will be dry and wrinkled.
4. Healthy kidney. Kidneys have the function to filter out substances that are not used by the body that is filtered through the blood. Lack of water in the blood will make the blood thickens and will make the kidneys work harder because they have to filter the gore, for a long time will cause kidney damage to our organs.
5. Enhance brain works. Brain cells are one part of the body that needs food and oxygen in large quantities, where the food comes through the blood. With a thick blood condition due to lack of water will cause the brain cells do not get food and oxygen intake is optimal and this will reduce the brain works. And vice versa if the blood flows to the brain the food intake and oxygen to the brain would be maximized so as to enhance the brain works.

Health insurance

Health insurance is a type of insurance products that specifically guarantee the health or treatment costs members of the insurance if they are sick or have an accident with a specific agreement and policies health insurance. Usually there are two types of treatment offered by insurance companies, namely:

1. Hospitalization (in-patient treatment) is a term that means the process of patient care by medical personnel healthprofessionals due to certain diseases, where patients are lodged in a hospital room.
2. Outpatient care (out-patient treatment) is a patient who was treated at a health care without hospitalization will but still controlled by the medical staff of health institutions.

Many companies provide services in the field of health insurance. They compete with each other to give maximum service in order to get consumers as much. Organized health insurance products either by the social insurance companies, insurance companies, as well as general insurance companies.

Some general insurance companies and life insurance also has marketing programs health insurance with a variety of different variants. In general, the insurance company that conducts health insurance providers to work with the hospital either directly or through intermediary institutions as an assistant hospital network management.

The reason why people use health insurance is to protect you financially. With health insurance, you protect yourself and your family if you need medical care that can very expensive. We can not predict when we are sick and how many medical bills should we pay? Will but if we have health insurance, much needed cost for treatment will be covered by the party payer insurance in which we joined.

In United States country does not have a social institution for medical care. If we do not have insurance health, we must pay for health care of our own financial health at the time. This can spend the money of thousands of dollars on a serious illness. Knowing a bid affordable health insurance and compare individual health insurance plans. It is time we have health insurance that covers our insurance and our families.

Secrets of Smart Shop For A Body Health

A big partially of enjoying healthier consuming is buying healthier foods & nutrients, and that implies making smart selections where it substances most – at the supermarket. Selecting the freshest, healthiest foods is an important first step towards making healthy and delicious meals your all family will beloved. Generally, almost supermarkets are present with the healthiest, most nutritious foods approximately the perimeter of the store. That is where almost stores locate their produce section, their dairy section, their meat counter, and the likes. Naturally, the middle aisles of the grocery store also contain nutritious foods, such canned and frozen vegetables, whole grain cereals and more.

In addition, of course each shelf of the grocery store contains both good and bad choices for healthy eating. For instance, the cereal aisle is home to both the healthy, home grain cereal, and those cereals that contain more sugar than corn. In many cases, the difference will be obvious from the packaging, while at other times you will need to read the nutritional information carefully to ensure the food is healthy for your family. Actually, learning to read nutritional labels is one of the most important skills any health oriented shopper must learn. This government mandated labels contain a wealth of information if you know what to look for. Not only do nutritional labels contain vital information on calorie counts, fat grams and sodium content, but also they contain detailed information on the percentage of each vitamin and mineral a serving contains.

When looking at nutritional labels, however, pay careful attention to the portion size listed. This is particularly important when looking at calories, fat grams and the amount of sodium. For instance, a serving of juice is generally 8 ounces, while the average juice glass at your home may be 12 or even 16 ounces. It is important to carefully look at serving size, and to do the mental calculation necessary to reflect how much of each product will actually be consumed at one sitting.

When shopping for healthy foods, it is usually better to opt for les processed foods. For instance, 100% fruit juice would be better than a fruit juice blend that may contain as little as 5% or 10% fruit juice. In addition, plain frozen vegetables would be healthier than vegetables in a butter sauce. When shopping for meat, try to buy fresh meat whenever possible. Frozen meat products, or those already seasoned, heat and eat products, often contain unhealthy ingredients as well as preservatives.

When it comes to dairy products, it is best to buy low fat and non fat varieties when at all possible. The one exception to this rule is feeding babies and young children. Their growing bodies need the fat and calories contained in whole milk products, but adults and older children are better serve by low fat alternatives.

When choosing canned soups, there are a number of fat free and low sodium varieties. Try to choose these soups for a healthier lifestyle. Other high protein, low calorie soup choices include black bean soup, lentil soup and split pea soup. These healthy soups are good sources of protein, fiber and folate.

Ethnic foods, such as Mexican and Chinese, can be excellent sources of healthy meals, and the traditional ways of preparing such foods are generally very healthy. It is important to stay as authentic as possible when choosing and preparing Mexican, Asian, Middle Eastern and Italian food. This will help guarantee both great taste and healthy eating. For instance, traditional salsa is an excellent, low calorie, and nutritious dip, and the traditional Mexican black bean dip is usually fat free.

Seasonings can be an excellent way to spice up healthy cooking without adding additional fat and calories. Herbs and spices are a great way to add zest to any meal, and starting an herb garden of your own is a great way to save time and money while providing fresh tasting, healthy meals for your family. When buying spices in the grocery store, be especially careful about sodium content. Read the label carefully, since the first ingredient on many bottled spices is actually salt (another great reason to start that herb garden).

Healthy Foods

Food is one of our health determinants, because the disease often caused by the foods we eat. The more quality food that we eat (in terms of nutritional content in food), the lower the risk we are exposed to a disease. The quality of food depends on the food ingredients used.

Apart from quality materials, of course, how to cook well in a healthy way. Because of the processing of food, healthy food can be health backfired. To get the perfect result in the intake of food processing is useful for health, basic knowledge is needed about the pros and cons various food processing methods.

The best material for vegetables and fruits are grown organically (without pesticides). Fruits and vegetables of this kind can be found easily in supermarkets. Choose the freshest meat. Avoid meat that is bluish in color, let alone who was issued a foul smell. For the selection of fish, choose the freshest fish, as well as with chicken. Although not a guarantee, a fresh meat is free from bacteria and germs, with proper treatment, the volume of bacteria and germs in the meat can be reduced. At least there is no process of decomposition that contains germs and bacteria are far more dangerous to health.
Here are a few healthy foods:

1. Source of antioxidants and carotenoids Source: sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, mangoes, spinach.
2. Source of vitamin E: asparagus, bean sprouts, vegetable oil and beans.
3. Source of vitamin C: cassava leaves, mangoes, oranges, broccoli, mustard greens and guava.
4. Source of omega-3 fatty acids: various kinds of sea fish (anchovies, sardines) and fish oil.
5. Source of folic acid: Beans (green beans, red beans, and peas), original orange, spinach and chicken liver.
6. Source of vitamin B6: Bananas, chicken without the fat, brown rice, oatmeal, and canned white tuna.
7. Source flanovoid: Melons, grapes, oranges, papaya, mango, persimmon and guava.
   

By knowing the healthy food and how to cultivate a healthy way also we can make healthy foods that will help maintain the health of our bodies.

Cholesterol

Often we hear a disease caused by high levels of cholesterol in the body. Actually what is cholesterol? Actually, cholesterol is a complex fatty compound that circulates in the blood, where the fat is one of substance required by our body as well as carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and vitamins. One source of energy for our bodies that gives the highest calories is fat or cholesterol. Cholesterol is also a substance that our body needs, especially in the formation of cell walls in the body. Many food sources that contain cholesterol found in cheese, egg yolk, beef, pork, poultry, and shrimp.

Where does cholesterol come:

• every person has cholesterol in the blood, where 80% of cholesterol produced by the body (in production in the liver), and 20% came from outside the body (from the foods we eat).

In the cholesterol produced by the body consists of 2 types namely:

• LDL(low density lipoprotein) cholesterol, this type is the bad cholesterol, which when excessive amounts in the blood will be deposited on artery walls to form clots that can clog arteries, especially in cardiovascular and brain.
• HDL(high density lipoprotein) cholesterol is good cholesterol, which has a cleaning function of blood vessels from excessive LDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol levels high are a good sign as long as LDL cholesterol less than 150 mg / dl.
  

In addition to the above 2 components there are also cholesterol triglycerides. These fats are formed from the metabolism of food, not only in the form of fat but also in the form of carbohydrate foods and excessive protein, which is not entirely necessary as a source of energy. This triglyceride levels will increase if we consume excess calories, greater than our needs.

Cholesterol can not dissolve in the blood, to be delivered to the body then transferred to the body of cholesterol with proteins into particles called lipoproteins. Cholesterol is the raw material forming the steroid hormones. Cholesterol we need is normally produced in normal amounts in our bodies. However, cholesterol in our bodies can increase in number because of intake of foods derived from animal fats, eggs and or unhealthy food. Be careful on this type of food!

Sports Benefits

Exercising can make the body fit and healthy, make more lean and healthy spirit. Someone who wants to maintain the health body should exercise at least 10 minutes every day. After the exercise will clear your mind, reduced stress and trigger emergence of feelings of happiness. Sports create a smooth blood circulation, burn fat and calories, and reduce the risk of blood height and obesity. Actually a lot of benefits we can get the exercise. Not only realized in health physical and mental freshness, but this activity also gives pride of what we live with perseverance. For example, an athlete to get achievements in sports activities. Thus, there is pleasure and not a few people who make sports as a hobby and a source of income.

More clearly Daniel Landers, professor of physical education from Arizona State University reveals the five benefits of exercise of your brain.

1. Improve the ability of the brain. Regular physical exercise can improve concentration, creativity, and mental health. Because exercise can increase the number of oxygen in the blood and accelerate the flow of blood to the brain. Experts believe that these things can encourage physical reactions and better mental.
2. Help delay the aging process. Research shows that a simple exercise like walking regularly can help reduce mental decline in women in over 65 years. The more frequent and longer they do eat slower mental decline. Reportedly, many people feel benefits of the activity after nine weeks to do on a regular basis three times a week. This exercise is not to be done in high intensity. Quite a walk around

Be careful in consuming iron supplements

Iron is a component of many enzymes that affect the chemical reactions that are important to the body. Iron is also a component of hemoglobin, which enables red blood cells carry oxygen and delivers it to tissues.
Two types of food contain iron, namely:

1. Heme iron, which is mainly find in foods of animal products.
2. Non-heme iron, which is more than 85% iron in daily foods. Heme is absorbed better than non-heme. But the absorption of non-heme iron increases when consumed along with animal protein and vitamin C.
   

Iron deficiency
Iron deficiency is the lack of food substances most commonly found in the world, causing anemia in men, women and children. Bleeding that resulted in the loss of iron from the body causes iron deficiency can be treat by additional iron. Iron deficiency can also be caused by food intake is insufficient. Such deficiencies often occur during pregnancy because a large amount of iron needed for growth of the fetus's mother. Anemia due to iron deficiency can also occur in teenage girls who are growing and begin to experience menstrual cycle, if they consume foods that do not contain meat. If the reserve of iron in the body decreases, anemia can occur.

Symptoms due to iron deficiency are:

• pale.
• 'spoon nails' (spoon nails, a disease of the nails which looked thin and concave-shaped / curved).
• weakness accompanied by a decrease in muscle strength.
• changes in cognitive behavior.
  

The way to treat iron deficiency is the provision of high-dose iron one times / day for several weeks and continued until the cells of red blood and iron stores back to normally.

Excess iron
In United States, iron poisoning cause death in children under the age of six years. Iron poisoning almost entirely caused by the consumption of vitamins and supplements free by mistake. Excess iron can cause poisoning, which occurs vomiting, diarrhea and intestinal damage. Another reaction is that it will lead to shock, coma, seizures, and death.
Iron can accumulate in the body if the person:

• Obtain iron therapy in excessive amounts or in a very long time.
• Received several blood transfusions.
• Suffering from chronic alcoholism.
  

Hemokromatosis is a disease of excess iron is derived, which can be fatal but easily treatable, where too much iron is absorbed, attacking more than 1 million people in the United States.
Usually the symptoms do not appear until middle age and develop hidden, in the form:

• Skin becomes red copper.
• Cirrhosis.
• Liver cancer.
• Diabetes.
• Heart failure, which can cause sudden death developed.
• Arthritis.
• haypothyroidism.
• Chronic fatigue.

Excess iron can be ascertained from the blood examination showed an excess of iron.
The entire family of the patient must be examining too, because this disease is a hereditary disease. Bloodletting is a treatment option. Early diagnosis and treatment allows patients to live healthier and live longer. Types of products containing iron most found in tablet form. Products include multi-vitamins for children and adults, iron supplements, and pre natal vitamins. Children are poisoned by iron will face long-term problems and short-term.

There are several ways to reduce the risk of iron poisoning is accidental, among others:

1. All drugs should be stored in locked cabinets and away from the reach of children.
2. Parents should not teach that drugs with candy.
3. Save immediately purchased a new drug in the medicine cabinet.
4. Please, remember that parents are teachers for their child. Therefore, you have to explain about the medicines to children, including a risk if taken carelessly.
