Diet Bisa Gagal karena Kurang Minum Air Putih

Berbagai jenis diet. Mulai dari diet keto dengan meningkatkan konsumsi protein hewani, diet rendah lemak, diet OCD, hingga diet mayo dengan menghindari makanan yang mengandung garam dan jenis diet lainnya.

Tetapi semua jenis diet pasti gagal jika mereka tidak diimbangi dengan konsumsi air yang cukup. Menurut ahli urologi di University of California San Francisco Dr. Thomas Chi, kesalahan terbesar yang sering dilakukan oleh pelaku diet adalah terlalu banyak memperhatikan asupan makanan tetapi mengabaikan asupan air minum.

"Orang yang melakukan diet ekstrem, mereka cenderung memiliki kadar garam lebih tinggi dan kurang hidrasi," kata Chi seperti dikutip dari Fox News, Senin (25/3).

"Kandungan garam yang tinggi ini mungkin sangat bermasalah untuk diet yang kaya daging. Kekurangan air, dikombinasikan dengan peningkatan asupan daging, dapat menyebabkan komplikasi seperti batu ginjal," tambah Chi.

Namun ada cara sederhana untuk mengatasinya. Ahli penyakit dalam dan ahli gastroenterologi Kota New York, Dr. Sonpal Niket mengatakan tubuh manusia memiliki cara alami untuk memberi peringatan bahwa tubuh mengalami dehidrasi. Antara lain dengan munculnya rasa haus.

"Haus adalah peringatan bagi tubuh alami kita bahwa kita kehabisan cairan, Anda harus merespons sesegera mungkin," kata Sonpal.

Four Science Facts About Celery Juice Trends

Celery juice is increasingly becoming a trend and echoing on social media. Celery juice is believed to increase nutrition. This includes helping intestinal microbiomes, a combination of bacteria, and other microflora to make the intestines work properly. But is this claim completely true?

Celery juice, like all other vegetable juices, actually cannot cure all diseases and is not a miracle drug. After all, it's only about crispy green drinks and it tastes very good especially if you add peanut butter.

It is always important to separate truth from sensations when there is a health trend. Especially if claims made are not supported by research carried out correctly by leading scientists. It is important to note that the human intestine is a very complex and individual organ. Let's see what the science of celery juice says as reported by page Bustle.

Lima Makanan Baik untuk Masalah Ginjal

Penyakit ginjal adalah masalah umum yang mempengaruhi sekitar 10 persen populasi dunia. Ginjal adalah organ kecil yang berbentuk seperti kacang tetapi memiliki banyak fungsi penting.

Ginjal berfungsi sebagai penyaring limbah makanan, melepaskan hormon yang mengatur tekanan darah, menyeimbangkan cairan dalam tubuh, memproduksi urin, dan banyak tugas penting lainnya. Ada berbagai cara di mana organ vital ini dapat menjadi rusak. Diabetes dan tekanan darah tinggi, misalnya adalah faktor risiko paling umum untuk penyakit ginjal. Tetapi obesitas, merokok, genetika, jenis kelamin, dan usia juga dapat meningkatkan risiko.

Ketika ginjal tidak berfungsi dengan baik, sisa makanan bisa menumpuk di dalam darah. Karena itu, penting bagi penderita penyakit ginjal untuk mengikuti diet khusus. Orang dengan masalah ginjal membutuhkan nutrisi seperti natrium, kalium, fosfor, dan protein.

Meski perlu konsultasi karena stadium penyakit ginjal bisa berbeda untuk pasien, untungnya banyak pilihan makanan lezat dan sehat bagi mereka yang bermasalah dengan ginjal. Berikut adalah lima daftar makanan yang direkomendasikan oleh halaman Healthline.

1. Kembang kol

Kembang kol adalah sayuran bergizi yang kaya akan banyak nutrisi termasuk vitamin C, vitamin K, dan vitamin B folat.

Hindari Gangguan Kesehatan Mental dengan Jamur, Caranya

Selain memiliki rasa yang enak, jamur ternyata memiliki manfaat kesehatan saat dikonsumsi. Salah satunya adalah manfaat untuk kesehatan mental.

Manfaat jamur bagi kesehatan mental diungkapkan oleh tim peneliti dari Universitas Nasional Singapura yang telah melakukan penelitian dari 2011 hingga 2017. Berdasarkan penelitian pada lebih dari 600 warga Singapura berusia 60 tahun, konsumsi jamur dapat menjaga kesehatan mental.

Berdasarkan penelitian ini, konsumsi lebih dari dua porsi jamur per minggu dapat mengurangi risiko gangguan kognitif ringan hingga 57 persen lebih rendah daripada mereka yang jarang makan jamur. Dua porsi sajian jamur setara dengan 300 gram jamur.

Peneliti senior dari Departemen Biokimia NUS Dr. Irwin Cheah menilai manfaat jamur bagi kesehatan mental tidak terlepas dari kandungan di dalamnya. Cheah mengatakan jamur kaya akan senyawa yang disebut ergothioneine.

Senyawa ergothioneine bertindak sebagai agen antioksidan dan agen anti-inflamasi. Senyawa ini juga dapat melindungi sel-sel otak dari kerusakan.

Dalam sebuah studi terpisah pada tahun 2016, Dr. Cheah dan tim penelitinya menemukan bahwa kekurangan ergothioneine dapat menjadi faktor risiko penyakit neurodegeneratif. Salah satu contoh adalah Alzheimer.

Apparently, Sports Remain Beneficial as Old as Anything Begins

For those who are not familiar, exercising feels burdensome. They are just called to be more active in moving after a long time has passed.

Is there a word "late" to feel the benefits of exercise? The good news is that the word is not in the sports dictionary.

No matter how old we start, exercise will still bring benefits to the body. Research at the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has provided evidence of these claims.

Sports studies usually record the level of physical activity of people at one point in time, such as when young, middle age or more. However, NIH post-doctoral researcher Pedro Saint-Maurice and his colleagues wanted to find out whether the benefits of exercise changed if people remained active for most of their lives or grew active or shrunk in time.

"We don't know much about long-term participation in sports. How do you maintain an active lifestyle, or go down and up again, or stay at a low level of activity that has an impact on health risks?" Saint-Maurice said, quoted from Time, Saturday (9/3).

In a study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers asked more than 315 thousand United States adults aged 50 and 71 years. Participants get questions about leisure time activities at four different points in their lives, aged 15-18 years, 19-29 years, 35-39 years, and 40-61 years.

Air Pollution Becomes Deadly Killer Every Year

Seperti dilansir Arab News, Selasa (12/3), peneliti di Jerman dan Siprus memperkirakan polusi udara menyebabkan 8,8 juta lebih banyak kematian pada tahun 2015. Angka itu hampir dua kali lipat dari perkiraan sebelumnya, yaitu 4,5 juta kematian. Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia memperkirakan bahwa merokok membunuh sekitar tujuh juta orang per tahun di seluruh dunia.

Fokus utama dari penelitian ini dilakukan di Asosiasi Kardiologi Eropa. Para peneliti menemukan bahwa polusi udara menyebabkan sekitar 790 ribu kematian di Eropa. Dari jumlah tersebut, antara 40 dan 80 persen disebabkan oleh penyakit kardiovaskular, seperti serangan jantung dan stroke.

"Karena sebagian besar partikel dan polutan udara lainnya di Eropa berasal dari pembakaran bahan bakar fosil, kita perlu beralih ke sumber lain segera untuk menghasilkan energi," kata para penulis dari Institut Max-Plank untuk Kimia di Mainz dan Institut Nicosia Siprus, Siprus, Prof. Jos Lelieveld.

Lelieveld menjelaskan, penggunaan energi bersih dan terbarukan berarti bahwa itu sejalan dengan Perjanjian Paris untuk mengurangi dampak perubahan iklim. Selain itu, energi terbarukan juga dapat mengurangi angka kematian terkait polusi udara di Eropa hingga 55 persen.

Studi yang diterbitkan dalam European Heart Journal ini berfokus pada ozon dan polusi partikel terkecil, yang dikenal sebagai PM2.5. Partikel polusi sangat berbahaya bagi kesehatan karena dapat menembus ke dalam paru-paru dan dapat memasuki pembuluh darah. Para peneliti mengatakan data baru menunjukkan efek kesehatan berbahaya PM2.5 jauh lebih buruk daripada yang diperkirakan sebelumnya.

Para peneliti menyimpulkan penyebab utama penyakit pernapasan dan kardiovaskular adalah PM2.5. Oleh karena itu, hasil penelitian mendesak pengurangan batas atas untuk PM2.5 di Uni Eropa, yang saat ini ditetapkan pada 25 mikrogram per meter kubik atau 2,5 kali lebih tinggi dari pedoman WHO.

"Di Eropa, nilai maksimum yang diizinkan terlalu tinggi," kata Lelieveld dan rekan penulis Prof. Thomas Munzel dari Departemen Kardiologi di Mainz Medical Center di Jerman. Munzel mengatakan Amerika Serikat, Australia, dan Kanada membuat pedoman WHO sebagai dasar untuk merumuskan undang-undang, yang juga diperlukan di UE.

Di seluruh dunia, polusi udara menyebabkan lebih dari 120 kematian per 100 ribu orang per tahun. Kematian di beberapa bagian Eropa berada pada tingkat yang lebih tinggi hingga 200 per 100.000 orang. "Untuk menempatkan ini (masalah) ke dalam perspektif, ini berarti bahwa polusi udara menyebabkan lebih banyak kematian dalam setahun daripada merokok. Merokok dapat dihindari tetapi polusi udara tidak," kata Munzel.

Another investigation conducted by ABC investigations examined lemons from 10 different restaurants. The results of the investigation found that more than half of lemon slices contained human waste.

Health standards in restaurants tend to be less strict for decoration and thus lemon slices in drinks are more likely to have more bacteria than food on a plate. The researchers found, chefs in restaurants often take lemons without gloves, meaning that if they don't clean their hands after using the bathroom or touch other germs, there is a high chance that they will transfer the germs to the lemon.

"Sickness (diabetes mellitus) must be controlled. It is not medical treatment then given medicine, then it is correct. It must always be controlled, especially if the sugar drops or not after taking medicine," said Sidartawan at the Elvansense launch in Jakarta, Saturday (1/19).

In addition to checking regularly, adjusting your diet and doing physical activity is very important. This aims to suppress the surge in blood sugar levels so as not to increase rapidly after consuming certain foods.

"If you need to use insulin, use it. There are certain groups that use insulin and check blood seven times. So why should you check blood sugar? So you can prevent complications from happening," explained Sidartawan.

Science Reveals Health Benefits of Black Pepper

Black pepper is one of the kitchen spices that is very often used in a variety of dishes. Besides being able to add flavor, black pepper can also be healthy for the body.

A study has found an absence between marinade and black pepper marinade by eliminating the heterocyclic amine (HCA) chemical compound in meat that is burned or cooked at high temperatures. HCA is a cancer-causing chemical compound that forms when meat is burned or cooked at high temperatures.

According to a team of researchers from Kansas State University, a mixture of 1 gram of fine black pepper in every 100 grams of minced meat can eliminate almost all HCA formation in meat during the cooking process.

Comparison of 1 gram of black pepper for 100 grams of meat may give a feeling that is too strong for some people. Alternatively, 1 gram of full black pepper can be replaced with a mixture of pepper, oregano, rosemary and several other herbs.

Black pepper is also known to be beneficial in promoting the digestive process. This has at least been proven in several animal studies. Some of these studies show that black pepper can stimulate secretions from digestive enzymes that can provide a sense of satiety after eating while facilitating the transit of food in the digestive tract.

Three Reasons Why Cheese is Good for the Body

Cheese is often considered not included in the category of healthy food. This assumption is contrary to what many people believe about the original ingredients, milk. Milk is considered to contain several important nutrients for the human body.

Actually consuming too much cheese is indeed less recommended, especially if you want to reduce saturated fat. However, cheese contains important vitamins and minerals. For that reason, health experts recommend putting a little cheese in your food.

"Cheese is often called high in calories, fat, saturated and salt, but it is also packed with various other nutrients," said nutritionist Juliette Kellow.

It's common knowledge to call food 'good' or 'bad' when people talk about diet and nutrition. This has caused some foods to get a bad reputation. "It's even 100 percent natural like cheese," added Rob Hobson, nutritionist and head of Nutrition at Healthspan.

If eaten in moderation, cheese turns out to have many health benefits. Here are three reasons to include cheese in your food, according to the Express page.

Good for teeth

Cheese has high calcium levels and is very important for healthy bones and teeth. According to Bill Schaeffer, dental surgeon and co-founder of The Implant Center, calcium helps shape teeth and also contributes to a strong jawbone.

Researcher: Beware of E Coli Bacteria in Broiler Chicken Meat

The results of a joint study by the Indonesia One Health University Network (INDOHUN), Udayana One Health Collaborating Center (Udayana OHCC), and the Provincial Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Service found Escherichia Coli bacteria isolated in broiler chicken which is widely consumed by the public.

Dr. Ni Nyoman Sri Budayanti as a member of the OHCC Udayana representative revealed that the results of the study also showed an increase in immunity of more than 90 percent of at least three types of antibiotics tested 11. The three types of antibiotics are ampicillin, amoxicillin and erythromycin. Whereas for nalidixic acid, an antibiotic that is often used to treat urinary tract infections in humans, there has been an increase in immunity up to 50 percent.

The problem is that these antibiotics are the most widely used antibiotics in the community and can often be purchased without a prescription.

"The most worrying thing about the results of the study is that 2.4 percent of E. coli bacteria are resistant to cephalosporin antibiotics. These bacteria will produce enzymes that can neutralize all cephalosporin group antibiotics," said Ni Nyoman Sri Budayanti.

Three Main Ways to Protect Yourself from a Heart Attack

A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to the body's organs suddenly becomes blocked. Usually, it is caused by a blood clot.

Reported on Express, Tuesday (1/8), lack of blood to the heart can seriously damage the heart muscle and life threatening. The main cause of heart attack is coronary heart disease which occurs when blood vessels that supply the heart are blocked by cholesterol deposits. When the deposits break, blood clots develop at the site of rupture and trigger a heart attack.

According to the National Health Service (NHS) public health service program in the UK, the most effective way to prevent heart attacks is to make healthy lifestyle changes. At least, there are three main steps that must be taken to protect yourself from a heart attack.

Reduce fatty and unhealthy foods

An unhealthy diet high in saturated fat can cause arteries to become blocked with cholesterol. This is because foods with high saturated fat also contain a lot of cholesterol. Foods high in saturated fat, including meat pies, sausages and fatty cuts of meat, butter, cream, cheese, and cakes and biscuits.

Quit smoking

The NHS says, smoking is a major risk factor for heart attacks. The activity causes clogged arteries and increases blood pressure.

Benefits of Eating Three Date Dates Every Day

This one fruit tastes sweet and is often a dessert. Yes, dates that are widely grown in tropical countries have many benefits for your body and mind too.

Eating three dates every day a week can have such a good effect. It can even be a routine if you know the benefits. Here are some of the benefits of consuming dates, reported from the Prevent Food page.

Reducing the risk of colon cancer

Along with ensuring that food moves through the digestive system at a healthy level, dates also ensure that the intestines are healthy, and free from harmful bacteria. When the digestive and intestinal systems work properly, so does the large intestine. As a result, the risk of colon cancer decreases.

Egg Consumption Reduces Risk of Type 2s Diabetes

Eating one egg per day seems to be related to blood metabolite profiles associated with minimizing the risk of type 2 diabetes. The findings are according to research conducted at the University of Eastern Finland which was published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research

Reported by the Medical Xpress, Friday (4/1), eggs are one of the controversial foods. On the one hand, large amounts of egg intake are not recommended because of high cholesterol content.

Meanwhile, eggs are a food source rich in bioactive compounds that provide health benefits. This means that the health impact of consuming eggs is difficult to determine based solely on cholesterol levels.

Previous researchers showed that consuming about one egg every day was associated with minimizing the risk of type 2 diabetes among elderly men who participated in the Kuopio Ischaemic Hearth Disease Risk Factor study in Eastern Finland. "The aim of the current study is to examine potential compounds that can explain this relationship using non-target metabolic techniques that allow a broader profile of chemicals in the sample," said the initial researcher and lead author of the study Stefania Noerman of the University of Eastern Finland.

The study found blood samples from men who ate more eggs including fat molecules associated with blood profiles that were free of type 2 diabetes. In addition, the researchers identified several biochemical compounds in the blood that predicted a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, including amino acids. tyrosine.

Efficacy of cinnamon for Type 2 Diabetes Patients

In addition to drugs, patients with type 2 diabetes can control blood sugar levels with cinnamon spices. According to Diabetes.co.uk, cinnamon is one of the herbs that is closely associated with improving the quality of conditions such as diabetes.

Reported on Express.co.uk, Thursday (1/3), this is because research says cinnamon can help increase blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity. A 2002 clinical study showed cinnamon skin can increase blood sugar levels and cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon can also reduce risk factors associated with diabetes and heart disease.

Daily intake, three grams of cinnamon skin has been shown to reduce serum glucose, triglycerides, and bad cholesterol after 40 days among 60 elderly diabetics. Another study previously in 2000 found consuming one gram of cinnamon every day can increase insulin sensitivity and help regulate or even reverse type 2 diabetes.

Subsequent research in 2007 revealed that eating six grams of cinnamon slowed stomach emptying and significantly reduced hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) after eating. As a result of the available scientific evidence, many health experts claim cinnamon contains properties that are useful for regulating blood sugar and treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Beware of the Risk of Sweetened Drinks

Sweetened drinks need to be aware of the risks. One of the results of a recent study says that the higher the consumption of sweetened drinks, the higher the risk of kidney disease.

This finding was obtained from the results of a study of African-American adults domiciled in Mississippi, United States (US). The results of a study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN) prove that consumption of soda, fruit drinks and sweetened water has unhealthy effects.

Quoted from Eurekalert !, certain sweetened drinks may affect kidney health. However, various studies have shown inconsistent results.

To clarify the impact of sweetened drinks, Casey Rebholz of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and his team-mates studied 3,003 African-American adult men and women. When the study began, participants had healthy kidneys and were enrolled in The Jackson Heart Study.

"There is still little complete information about the impact of sweetened drinks available at suppliers of food and beverages. In particular, there is limited information about what drinks and how to drink patterns that can interfere with kidney health," Rebholz said.

Four cholesterol-lowering foods

Heart attacks can occur when the cholesterol level in the body is too high. The main cause of heart attack is coronary heart disease.

This condition is where the main blood vessels that supply blood to the heart are blocked by cholesterol deposits. If cholesterol deposits rupture, this can cause blood clots to develop which can trigger a heart attack.

People with high cholesterol in the blood can reduce it by making certain dietary changes. As reported by Express, Monday (31/12), Heart UK recommends to include the following four foods into the diet to help reduce cholesterol.

Foods made from soybeans
