Tubuh Butuh Makan Sehat

Tubuh Butuh Makan Sehat Tubuh manusia mengandung cairan sebanyak 55-75 persen dari berat tubuh. Artinya, seseorang yang memiliki berat 50 kilogram, setidaknya mengandung 27-33 kilogram air di dalam tubuhnya. Kekurangan cairan tubuh sekitar dua persen sudah memicu gangguan kesehatan ringan.

Jaga tubuh selalu terhidrasi untuk mempertahankan fungsi tubuh dengan baik. Tak hanya dengan asupan air minum, pemenuhan kebutuhan cairan dalam tubuh juga terbantu dari asupan makanan mengandung air, seperti dikutip Times of India.

Ada tiga kategori makanan yang berperan membantu menghidrasi tubuh: buah-buahan berair segar, sayuran berdaun hijau, dan sup berbasis air.

Hampir semua buah mengandung memang air. Tapi, yang memiliki kandungan air maksimal adalah semangka. Dan, level selanjutnya: apel, kiwi, jeruk, kelapa, stroberi, dan semua jenis berry.

Untuk sayur, lebih baik santap sayuran mentah, semacam lalapan. Sebab, teknik pengolahan seringkali menghilangkan kelembaban alami sayur yang penting untuk membantu menghidrasi tubuh. Sementara sup yang disarankan adalah sup kaldu dengan isian sayur.

Jangan remehkan dehidrasi karena kekurangan cairan dalam tubuh memicu gangguan kesehatan. Mulai dari gangguan ringan seperti mudah mengantuk, hingga penyakit berat seperti penurunan fungsi ginjal.

Berikut tiga tanda atau gejala dehidrasi:

• Dehidrasi ringan
Gejala: terasa haus, bibir kering, tenggorokan kering, kulit kering dan sakit kepala.

Hidup Mesra Tak Kenal Usia

Hidup Mesra Tak Kenal Usia Lionel, 99, dan Ellen Buxton, 100, seolah tak terpisahkan. Menikah 76 tahun silam, pasangan asal Inggris itu membuktikan janji setianya.

Sejak memutuskan berumah tangga pada 1936, pasangan itu hanya sekali menghabiskan malam terpisah satu sama lain.

Raga yang melemah tak menghalangsi letupan kemesraan keduanya yang menakjubkan. "Kami selalu bahagia, kami adalah teman baik juga suami dan istri yang baik," kata Ellen, seperti dikutip mirror.co.uk.

Selama puluhan tahun itu pula mereka memiliki kebiasaan menghabiskan malam indah bersama. Tak melulu makan malam romantis, tapi juga sekadar bersenang-senang bermain bingo.

Mereka kebetulan juga memiliki ketertarikan sama di bidang olahraga seperti memanag, dan sepakbola.

Ellen dan Lionel pertama kali bertemu pada 1930, saat bekerja di pabrik kabel di Woolwich. Ellen yang menjadi teknisi di pabrik itu kerap meminta bantuan Lionel yang menjadi insinyur magang.

"Saya selalu menantikan dia meminta bantuan, jadi saya punya kesempatan untuk berbicara dengannya. Dia begitu baik. Dia cantik," kata Lionel, yang enam bulan lebih muda dari Ellen.

Berbagai liku kehidupan selama puluhan tahun rupanya tak mengikis kemesraan mereka. Termasuk saat Ellen bergulat dengan penyakit kanker dengan kemoterapi yang menyakitkan.

"Kami lebih cinta sekarang dari sebelumnya. Kami terus saling pergi. Kami bukti bahwa cinta sejati tidak pernah memudar," kata pasangan yang telah memiliki empat cucu itu.

Gabung Obat Kimia-Herbal Beresiko

Gabung Obat Kimia-Herbal Beresiko Penggunaan obat kimia modern dan obat herbal, termasuk jamu, secara bersamaan untuk mengobati penyakit tertentu harus dilakukan secara hati-hati. Penggabungan secara serampangan bisa memperburuk kesehatan.

"Butuh pengetahuan dan penelitian lebih banyak untuk menggabungkan penggunaan jamu dan obat kimia secara bersamaan," kata Ketua Program Studi Pengobatan Tradisional, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Airlangga, Arijanto Jonosewojo, dalam simposium "Pentingnya Kualitas Ekstrak Obat Herbal sebagai Produk Perawatan Kesehatan dan Agen Terapetik" di Jakarta, Kamis (9/2).

Uji klinik yang dilakukan di Rumah Sakit Umum dr Soetomo, Surabaya, menunjukkan, penggunaan obat antikolesterol simvastatin ataupun campuran daun jambu, temu lawak, dan jati belanda (obat tradisional) memberikan hasil yang baik jika digunakan secara sendiri-sendiri. Tetapi, jika digabung, hasilnya justru buruk.

Hal yang sama terjadi pada penggunaan metformin dan teh hitam untuk mengobati diabetes. Jika kedua obat itu digunakan sendiri-sendiri, bisa menurunkan kadar gula darah rata-rata selama 1-3 bulan (HbA1C) hampir sama. Namun, jika digabung, penurunan HbA1C justru sangat kecil.

"Jika ingin menggabungkan, obat modern sebaiknya diminum lebih dulu. Setelah 1-2 jam, baru minum obat herbal," katanya.

Zat aktif dalam obat kimia umumnya lebih cepat diserap tubuh. Adapun obat herbal, selain lebih lambat diserap tubuh, terkadang bersifat mengikat zat dari obat kimia. Akibatnya, efek obat kimia jadi tidak maksimal.

Arijanto, yang juga Kepala Poliklinik Obat Tradisional Indonesia RSU dr Soetomo, mengingatkan, ginseng tidak boleh digabung dengan obat digoxin (obat jantung) karena akan memperburuk kondisi jantung.

Selain itu, bawang putih yang juga merupakan obat herbal antikoagulan tidak boleh digabung dengan obat kimia golongan asetasol atau clopidopril. Hal ini akan menimbulkan perdarahan.

"Masyarakat masih menganggap obat herbal lebih baik dibandingkan obat kimia. Padahal, tidak ada obat herbal yang 100 persen aman dan tidak semua obat kimia buruk," katanya.

Belum berkembang

Meski bangsa Indonesia mengenal dan merasakan manfaat tanaman obat sejak lama, hingga kini industri obat tradisional Indonesia belum berkembang.

Direktur Standardisasi Obat Tradisional, Kosmetik, dan Produk Komplemen, Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan, Hary Wahyu Triestanto Wibowo mengatakan, saat ini baru terdaftar 6 fitofarmaka dan 31 obat herbal terstandar. Adapun jamu jumlahnya mencapai ribuan.

Jamu adalah tingkat terendah dalam pengelompokan obat tradisional Indonesia. Disusul obat herbal terstandar dan fitofarmaka sebagai tingkat tertinggi.

Untuk meningkatkan status jamu menjadi obat herbal terstandar, harus ada uji nonklinik. Untuk menjadi fitofarmaka, harus dilakukan uji klinik dan uji nonklinik. Proses uji itu butuh biaya investasi besar.

Karena itu, banyak produsen jamu enggan meningkatkan status produknya karena dengan status jamu saja sudah laku. "Produsen hanya akan meningkatkan status produknya menjadi obat herbal terstandar atau fitofarmaka untuk meyakinkan keamanan produknya pada konsumen dan kepentingan ekspor," ujarnya.

Rudy Susilo dari Evoria GmbH, Jerman, mengatakan, pengolahan obat herbal di Indonesia banyak yang tak memenuhi standar. Orientasi bisnis produsen lebih besar sehingga kurang memperhatikan aspek keamanan obat bagi konsumen.

Untuk mendapatkan obat herbal yang baik, seluruh proses produksi, mulai dari penanaman tanaman obat, perawatan, panen, pengeringan, ekstraksi, penyimpanan, pembuatan obat, hingga distribusinya, tidak bisa dilakukan asal-asalan.

Bahan baku obat herbal harus bebas dari logam berat, jamur, ataupun pestisida. Proses produksi harus dilakukan secara modern, sama seperti yang dilakukan sebagian obat herbal China.

Menurut Rudy, obat herbal tidak perlu diragukan manfaatnya. Yang harus dijaga adalah agar obat herbal aman dikonsumsi.

"Obat herbal sudah digunakan sejak ratusan tahun lalu dan menunjukkan khasiatnya," katanya.

Obat herbal, demikian Arijanto, sebaiknya digunakan untuk mencegah penyakit, meningkatkan kesehatan, pemulihan, dan mengurangi penderitaan pasien.

Untuk penyembuhan penyakit, masih disarankan menggunakan obat kimia. Dokter dapat memberikan obat herbal untuk melengkapi obat kimia dengan syarat ada permintaan tertulis dari pasien.

Leg Pain Due to Uric Acid

A 48-year-old father often complained of pain in his legs since the last 3 years. The pain is intermittent. When he was taking medications or herbal arthritis, the pain disappeared. However, after 1-2 months, another recurrence.

Since last month, he complained of pain and swelling at the base of the big toe. It felt great pain, especially at night and when morning walk. At first the left foot, then pain and swelling in the right thumb. These complaints began to be felt after a family party. At that time he ate meat and drank lots of beer.

He tried to drink herbal arthritis, but only slightly reduced. In fact, the pain is now radiating to the ankle and below the knee. This made him afraid, so that eventually went to the doctor. By a physician, he ought to check into the lab, it turns out high uric acid (9mg%).

He recommended rest, should not exercise for a week, given the drug antinyeri / antirheumatic and colchicin. He was advised to eat less meat, seafood, organ meats, yeast-ragian, spinach, cauliflower, beer, and lose weight. Seinggu later he returned to the doctor, his complaint has been greatly reduced and by the doctor added the drug allopurinol to reduce uric acid.

Currently he has been able to exercise morning walk without a complaint and his weight was much reduced. He was conscious of not overeating and leading a healthy lifestyle. Gout disease mainly attacks the joints, usually starting in one joint. The most common is the base of the big toe (metatarsophalangeal joint). Leg became swollen due to accumulated uric acid crystals in joint fluid, thus forming lumps called tophi.

The disease is chronic with periods tend to be asymptomatic and recurrence periods of sudden (acute exacerbations). The pain begins suddenly, especially at night or when exercising in the morning. More common in obese people after eating lots of high purine such as meat, organ meats, yeast, or beer.

In the laboratory examination of blood, patients often experience increased blood uric acid levels. This is due to overproduction of uric acid or uric acid excretion in urine decreased. This could be due to hereditary factors (genetic), but can also by the use of certain drugs (thiazide, aspirin), chronic kidney disease, multiple myeloma, psoriasis, and hypothyroidism.

This disease often relapses and originators of factors is often unclear. Perhaps the factor of high-purine foods, may also be due to chronic inflammation of other organs. Keep in mind, a powerful antioxidant, uric acid produced by the human body when there is inflammation. Therefore, if a relapse of rheumatic gout, do not immediately lower the uric acid with allopurinol. This can result in pain intensified.

To treat arthritis is the pain of gout can be treated with anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs plus colchicin. When the pain had subsided and high uric acid levels can be given allopurinol. Further important attempted prevention (prevention tips) in the form of reducing weight if overweight, low-purine diet, moderate exercise, drink enough water, treat when there is inflammation in the body such as dental caries, sinusitis, sore throat, gastritis, and kidney inflammation.
