Cases of hypertension and stress a lot happening, and potentially life threatening. Although no direct connection, they put you at risk of health problems, such as heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke.

According to the American Heart Association, approximately 1 in 3 adults has hypertension. Mayo Clinic health site notes, the researchers found no evidence that long-term stress causes hypertension. The cause of hypertension could actually other factors associated with stress, such as drinking alcohol or overeating. As the quotation from the Modern Mom.

Sports proven to reduce stress and improve self-confidence and endhorpins-chemicals in the brain to reduce anxiety and depression. All make an impact on lowering blood pressure. Exercise can lower systolic blood pressure of 5-10 mm Hg.

Aerobic

Aerobic or physical activity that increases breathing and heart rate can be controlled hypertension, including walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling. Even mowing the lawn or washing the floors were considered aerobic exercise during the activity can improve breathing and heartbeat. To control blood pressure, do 30-60 minutes of aerobics four times or more a week.

Heart

Exercise helps your heart in several ways. First, strengthen the heart muscle so it can pump more blood with less effort. Second, increase blood flow to the heart and makes the heart work more efficiently, thus reducing the force on the arteries and reduce blood pressure. And third, helping to reduce levels of insulin, a hormone that contributes to high blood pressure.

Weight Loss

Fatty tissue needs oxygen and nutrients just like every tissue in your body. Increasing the amount of fat in the body means the heart must pump more blood in the larger volume. As a result, more pressure on your artery walls.

Sports help you keep your weight down to healthy levels, also reduces blood pressure. In fact, the Mayo Clinic noted that weight loss is only approximately 10 pounds can lower blood pressure significantly.

The parents should more pay attention on providing food for children. The reason is that research has shown children who snack on the outside have a tendency to obesity.

A study conducted at three secondary schools  in the United States says, not least among students who regularly eat lunch at school or a snack, overweight.

They also tend to have high bad cholesterol or LDL, than children who routinely bring a lunch from home.

“Therefore, bring lunch from home more healthy. School environment itself is a good opportunity to teach children about healthy eating and the need to exercise, “said Elizabeth Jackson MD, MPH, as an assistant professor at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor.

Elizabeth said, it is important to be known by the children of secondary school. Therefore, the time children begin to be educated to become more independent and not dependent on others.

If they are getting used to choose a healthy life by eating healthy foods and exercising regularly, then this habit will continue to live until they are adults.

The study involved more than 1,000 junior high student, who had been asked to fill out a questionnaire that asked about some things. Among other things, what they eat, diet, how often do physical activity, and how many hours are spent each day watching television, playing video games, so how long to spend time in front of a computer screen.

Then the students are divided into three groups. The division of groups based on their answers are listed in the questionnaire. Students are divided into those who answered ‘always’ or ‘almost invariably’, snack at the school cafeteria or outside.

And the students who answered ‘always’ or ‘almost always’ bring their lunch from home. Meanwhile, students who answered ’sometimes’ snack inside or outside of school, or sometimes bring lunch from home.

The results then presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology. Well, compared with children who bring food from home, children who snack at school have a tendency overweight or obese.

They also have a preference for two to eat more fatty foods, like meat, fried chicken or hot dogs in a day. Children who like to snack than bring their own food from home, every day, consuming sweet drinks two glasses or more than that.

They also ate fewer fresh fruits in a day-to-day, including eating vegetables. So, do not be surprised if eventually the children who enjoy this snack has a bad or LDL cholesterol higher than children who regularly enjoy their lunches from home.

Not only that, the study also noted that children who are not accustomed to bring a lunch from home, much less doing sport activity.

For example, basketball or walking, or incorporated in a sports team at school. They even spent more time watching television, playing video games, and using computers.

“As many as one-third of children in the United States today, suffering from obesity. This means that these children have a high chance to experience heart problems or diabetes when I grew up, “said Elizabeth.

She further said that, if we do not immediately deal with this, the death rate due to heart problems people will swell. So, if the packed food from home is the best for the children?

It seems Michael Barrett MD, cardiologist from Temple University in Philadelphia did not agree with this. According to him, preparing lunch for the children before they leave school, that provision does not mean that they eat when lunch.

Exchanging child could have lunch with her friend’s other food that they thought it was delicious.

They could freely buy snacks in the school cafeteria, therefore, he recommends parents to work with schools, to ensure that food provided at the school canteen or by the school itself, is provided with a little salt and fat.

In contrast, more fiber. Parents also need to bring a healthy diet at home, either for a snack or eat heavy.

Encourage children to exercise, too. It could be by taking cycling holiday or push participate in school sports teams. Recent data indicate approximately 30.6 million students in America or snacks outside the school cafeteria.

While only 6% of the lunch program at the school provided the school, meet the requirements of healthy foods in accordance to United States Department of Agriculture.

For example, with a little salt on the food given. The rest, as many as 80% of the schools, do not obey the rules that have been defined. With fatty foods served more than 30% of total calories.

Snacking has become a common practice and often do a lot of people. Generally, frequent snacking just before dinner or late at night. not a few who feel guilty after eating their favorite foods. However, excessive food consumption can provide health-damaging consequences.

Binge eating is different from snacking in general. Binge eating is eating in a certain period, with higher numbers and more quickly than people in general, until the perpetrator felt really full.

These disorders not only excessive eating habits, but the patient also could not control and do not have the power to stop the habit. In fact, they describe the food as a “friend”, so that the weight gain that leads to drastic obesity.

Some medical problems that can arise due to this disease is type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, high cholesterol, hypertension, heart disease and some cancers. The teenager is one of the most potential to become binge eating. This disease affects a person mentally and physically.

Before you worry about whether you are included in the category of binge eating, you can see the following symptoms:

Eating large amounts when not hungry

According to WHO data, an estimated 700,000 people die from colorectal cancer each year. This means that approximately 2000 people die every day.

Colorectal cancer is cancer that grows in the large intestine (colon) or the anus (rectum). Colorectal cancer can be a barrier in the large intestine with some symptoms, such as pain, constipation, difficult defecation, and feeling bloated in the stomach.

The reasons vary, ranging from family history, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, physical inactivity, smoking, obesity, age, until the polyps in the colon (particularly adenomatous polyps or ever had polyps in the colon and colitis disease or inflammation of the colon Ulcerative untreated).

While the biggest cause of colorectal cancer is diet. A diet of modern society that is less fiber (vegetables and fruits), and tend to like to eat red meat, a trigger gene changes in the body become cancerous. What article?

Turn into cancer genes. There are from birth, and there is after carcinogen exposure from food. After exposure to carcinogens from the food, just an interruption in the DNA

Carcinogens, maybe the word is familiar in your ear. Many contain carcinogens berpengawet food, like chili sauce. Carcinogens are also found in red meat. So, beware if you are very fond of eating steak, barbecue, food or other red meat-based.

Carcinogens can grow on the surface of the intestine. Carcinogen is a substance or substances that can change normal cells into cancer.

Psoriasis was not only common skin disease. A recent study showed that people with psoriasis have increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Number of patients with psoriasis over the years continued to rise. In the United States alone, approximately 7.5 million people suffer from the symptoms of thick, red, scaly, and itchy skin. Not only physically ill, the patient had psoriasis will also experience a fatal health condition in the future if not controlled properly.

A new study published this week in the American College of Cardiology in Atlanta, the United States was mention of people with psoriasis are more likely to risk of heart attacks and strokes than those not having these skin disorders.

Researchers from Copenhagen University Hospital is to track the number of people with psoriasis, heart disease, stroke, and death in all teens and adults in the Danish population between 1997 and 2006. They found that people with severe psoriasis about 54 percent more likely to suffer a stroke, 21 percent more to get heart attacks, and 53 percent will die after 10 years of illness than non-psoriasis sufferers.

They are also more likely to require surgery such as angioplasty to open their heart arteries are clogged. While patients with mild psoriasis also have the possibility of increased risk of stroke and the angioplasty procedure. People with severe disease at a younger age at highest risk of cardiovascular problems, “said researcher Ole Ahlehoff MD, was quoted by webmd.com.

This analysis take into account other risk factors for heart disease, including age, gender, treatment performed and other health conditions. “People with psoriasis should not only seek care for symptoms of the disorder, but also should be examined to determine risk factors for heart disease and make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems in the future, such as maintaining a healthy weight,” explained Ahlehoff.

Another study, presented last week at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in Miami Beach, Fla., the United States showed psoriasis is also associated with an increased risk of cancers, including skin cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma. Researchers from the Health Economics and Outcomes Research at Abbott Laboratories to get data from insurance claims database that holds information about 93 million people around the United States.

They identified 37,159 people with psoriasis and to compare their possible cancer with 111,473 other people without psoriasis, in the same age. Known, people with psoriasis are likely to suffer from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and become obese (obesity).
During an average period of about 1.5 to 2 years, approximately 34.8 percent of people with psoriasis was diagnosed with cancer. In contrast, only 23.2 percent of those with healthy skin cancer. Researchers concluded, 56% higher risk of cancer for people with psoriasis.

The type of cancer that can be suffered by people with psoriasis is 75 percent for skin cancer, 87 percent of lymphoma, and 22 percent of prostate cancer. “Some of the medications used for psoriasis are likely to increase the risk of skin cancer.
But the link to other cancers can not be explained by the therapy, “said Alan Menter, MD, Director of the Psoriasis Research Unit at Baylor Research Institute in Dallas, United States.

Psoriasis itself is an immune disorder disease, which affected mainly by T cells (a type of white blood cells). Activated T cells will interact with skin cells (mainly keratinocytes) and resulted in the formation of a thick skin and scaly. The cause of this disease is still unknown, but the researchers have managed to find the abnormal gene that leads to the formation in patients with psoriasis. Thus, this disease has a hereditary disease risks.

Psoriasis is generally not life threatening, although very disturbing quality of life. Personal life, social, and work is also suffering greatly affected by the disease if the skin disorder of a particular place (eg the face, palms of the hands / feet, or genitals).

If not treated properly, complications may develop the disease (the disease becomes worse) as Psoriatic eritroderma (whole body skin becomes red) or generalized psoriasis pustulosa (psoriasis with small bubbles containing pus) that could endanger patients lives.

Nowadays, there are variety of psoriasis treatment is safe and effective. The treatment help to repair the skin conditions and reduce itching complaints. Of the many types of treatment, only a small portion can be cleaned with psoriasis treatment of skin disorders. The process is called clearance or remission.

Until now I have found no drug that can cure psoriasis in total. All the existing treatment can only suppress the symptoms of psoriasis. Most people never reach a state of remission of free treatment. Another thing that must be considered before selecting treatment degrees of severity of psoriasis was suffered. Also, disease location, type, age, sex and medical history, too patient.
