Why the Aging Process and the solution?

Generally the Aging Process, all organ tissue cells can counteract free radical attack because they have a special enzyme that can fight. However, because humans are naturally mengalamidegradasi with increasing age due to free radical itself, the automatic destruction never reach 100% even though in theory be destroyed by various antioxidants. Not to mention the stimulation to form free radicals that come from the surrounding environment. Because of that, slowly but surely, tissue damage by free radicals that can not be destroyed.

 This soft tissue damage is a process of premature aging, such as loss of tissue elasticity kalogen and muscle so the skin looks wrinkled, the lipopuchsin or brown pigment spots in the skin which is the residual pile burning in the cell. For those of you who want to stay young would need to consume lots of nutrients that minimize the effects of free radicals.

Can cause autoimmune.
Under normal circumstances, the antibody is only formed when there are antigens that enter the body. Autoimmune is the formation of antibodies against an ordinary body cells and this can damage body tissues and is very dangerous.

Protective antioxidant healthWithout realizing it in our body is continuously formed free radicals through the process of normal cell metabolism, inflammation, malnutrition, and result in response to influences from outside the body: environmental pollution, ultraviolet, smoke, etc.Therefore we need a body of important substances and antioxidants that may help protect the body from free radical attack with negati mitigating the impact of these compounds.Antioxidant systems of the body as a mechanism of protection against free radical attack, have naturally in our bodies. From the origin of the formation, the antioxidant is divided into two namely intracellular (inside the cell) and extracellular (outside the cell) or any of the food. 
From here antioxidant our bodies grouped into three namely:

1. Primary Antioxidants
The primary antioxidant compounds work to prevent the formation of new free radicals. He changes free radicals into molecules which reduced the negative impacts, before these free radicals could react.

Examples of antioxidants are enzymes SOD which serves as a protective destruction of cells in the body and prevent the inflammatory processes due to free radicals. SOD is already present in our body. However, the operation requires the help of mineral nutrients such as manganese, zinc, and copper. Selenium (se) also acts as an antioxidant. So, if you want to inhibit the symptoms and degenerative diseases, such minerals should be provided sufficient in food consumed each day.

2. Secondary Antioxidants 
These antioxidant compounds catches and prevent a chain reaction. Examples of secondary antiksidan: vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, amino acids, bilirubin, and albumin.

3. Antioxidant Tertiary 
These antioxidants repair damage to cells and tissues caused by free radicals. Example: The enzyme repairs DNA in the cell nucleus is mentionin sulfoksidan reductase. The existence of DNA repair enzymes is useful for preventing diseases such as cancer.

The results of numerous studies support the theory that consuming adequate antioxidants can reduce the occurrence of various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, cataracts and other degenerative diseases.

Where the presence of free radicals?

Free radicals are atoms or molecules that are very unstable (have one or more electrons are without a partner), so as to obtain an electron pair compound is highly reactive and damaging tissues. Free radical compounds that arise as a result of a variety of complex chemical processes in the body, such as a byproduct of the oxidation or burning of cells that occurs at the time breathing, cell metabolism, excessive exercise, inflammation or when the body is exposed to environmental pollutants such as car fumes, cigarette smoke, pollutants and solar radiation or cosmic radiation.

Because the chemical molecule is not complete, free radicals tend to "steal" the particles from other molecules, which then lead compounds that are not normal and start a chain reaction that can damage important cells in the body. Free radicals is a culprit of pathological conditions such as liver disease, coronary heart disease, cataracts, heart disease and premature aging suspected participate.

Actually, the reaction formation of free radicals is a normal biochemical mechanisms of the body. Free radicals typically only temporary that can be quickly converted into a substance which no longer harm the body. However, if the free radicals met with enzymes or polyunsaturated fatty acids, it is the beginning of cell damage, among others;

1. Damage to DNA (deoxy nucleic acid) in the cell nucleus

Free radical compounds is one factor that causes DNA damage in addition to other causes such as viruses, radiation and chemical carcinogens. If the damage is not too severe, they can be repaired by the DNA repair system. However, when it causes DNA chain interrupted in various places, this damage can not be repaired so that the cell division will be disrupted. Even abnormal changes occur that affect certain genes in the body that can cause cancer. 

2. Damage to the cell membrane
One key component of cell membranes containing polyunsaturated fatty acids that are highly susceptible to free radical attack. If it attacked the structure and function of membrane will change that in extreme circumstances eventually kill the cells in body tissue.


3. Damage protein
The occurrence of protein damage due to free radical attack include oxidation of proteins that cause tissue damage where the protein is located. For example, damage to proteins in the lens of the eye that lead to cataracts.


4. Damage Lipid peroxides
This occurs when unsaturated fatty acids attacked by free radicals. In our bodies, the reaction between these nutrients with free radicals which in turn will generate peroxide can cause cell damage, which is considered one of the causes of various degenerative diseases (deterioration of bodily functions).

Definition of Public Health

According to Prof. Winslow of Yale University (leavel and Clark, 1958),"The science of public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, improve physical and mental health, and efficiency through the business community is organized to improve environmental sanitation, control of infection in the community, education of individuals about personal hygiene, the organization of medical services and care, to early diagnosis, prevention of diseases and the development of social aspects, which will support so that every person in the community has a standard of living adequate for maintaining health. " 
Attempts to health. 
These efforts include:a. Efforts HealthcareCurative: treatment measuresRehabilitative: attempts maintenance or restoration of health to illness is getting worse by consuming foods that support to cure the disease. 
b. Improving HealthPreventive: preventive efforts against a diseasePromotive: peningkatn health efforts 
Means Health Supports Health Efforts by Law No. 23 of 1992 on Health:
  • PHC 
  • physician practice 
  • Drug store 
  • The practice of midwives 
  • Special hospital 
  • Hospital 
  • Pharmacy

Factors Affecting the Health of Individuals

The meaning of the factors affecting health status are factors that influence whether they are supporting or inhibiting nature of the status of health-illness. There are several factors that affect the health of individuals, namely:
1. Environmental factorsThe influence of the environment on health is huge. This is because the factors that cause the disease are influenced by the environment. It is thus important and the influence of the environment on health.
2. Socio-Cultural FactorsSocio-cultural factors is a second factor that is quite large effects on health. Included in these factors are:
- Behavior, habits, and customs- Trust, outlook on life, and values- Socio-economic and living standards and income- Demographics, population density- Education
3. Health facilitiesThat included into these factors are:
- Location, service points close to or accessible, and known by the public or not- Business information and motivation- Program: is covering all the health needs of the community or not.
4. The descendantsThat included into these factors are:
- Genetic- Body Structure
These four factors above may support or inhibit health, so as to facilitate or complicate the emergence of health-illness, as well as those factors affect each other.

Definition Healthy

Definition Healthy, Health is a state that is not merely the absence of disease but also covers all aspects of human life that cover physical, emotional, social and spiritual. Here are some definitions healthy according to experts:1. Healthy according to WHO (1927)Health is a state of complete physical, physical, mental, and social and not just a state that is free from defects and weaknesses disease. Contains three characteristics:- Reflecting attention to the individual as a human- Looked healthy in the context of the internal and external environment.- Healthy living is defined as a creative and productive2. Healthy according to Law No.23 / 1992 Health ChallengeHealth is a state of well being of the body (physical), soul (spiritual) and social that allow live socially and economically productive.3. Healthy according Pepkin'sHealth is a state of dynamic balance between form and function of the body that can make adjustments so that the body can cope with interference from outside.4. Healthy according Zaidin Ali (1999)Health is a state of balance between the health status of biological (physical), psychological (mental), social, and spiritual allow the person to live independently and productively5. Healthy by Pender (1982)Healthy is the actualization (materialization earned by individuals through satisfaction in dealing with others, behavior in accordance with the purpose, competent self-care while the necessary adjustments to maintain stability and structural integrity.6. Healthy Concepts (Travis and Ryan, 1998)- Health is a choice, a choice in determining health.- Health is a lifestyle, a lifestyle design towards achieving the highest potential for health.- Health is a process, the development level of consciousness that never broke, health and happiness can happen at any moment, "here and now."- Healthy efficient in processing energy, the energy obtained from the environment, is transferred through people, and distributed to affect the surrounding environment.- Healthy integration of body, mind and spirit, appreciation humans do, think, feel and believe it will affect health status.- Health is the acceptance of self.

Healthy Range Pain
 The health status of a person lies between the two poles, the optimal healthy and death. If the health status of our move toward death then we are in the area of ​​pain (Illness area), and if the health status of our move toward healthier then we are in areasehat (Wllness area). Thus, health status is dynamic and change over time.In accordance with the range of healthy-sick, health status can be divided in a state of optimal healthy or unhealthy, sick or unwell until meinggal world. When people are in a healthy area then do primary prevention (primary prevention), namely the protection of health (Health protection) and special protection (Specific protection) to avoid the disease. When individuals are in the area of ​​pain then do secondary and tertiary prevention, with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of worsening disease.

Health Status
 The health status of a person's state of health in a range of health-illness that is dynamic and is influenced by developmental, social, cultural, past experience, one's expectations about him, heredity, environment, and service.
  • Developments - Changes in health status can be determined by the age factor in this regard is the growth and development. 
  • Social and cultural - Changes in a person's health status is affected by the ideas and beliefs that can cause changes in health behavior. 
  • Past experience - Changes in health status can be affected also by past experience. It can be seen if there are any adverse health experience or experience poor health that have a major impact on subsequent health status. 
  • Hope someone about himself - Hope is one important part in improving the health status change toward optimal. This expectation can produce health status to the next level, both physically and psychologically. 
  • Heredity - Heredity may also affect the health status of someone remembers poteni kesehhatan status change has been owned by genetic factors. 
  • Environment - Environmental question is the physical environment such as environmental sanitation, personal hygiene, the disposal of waste water or sewage and inadequate housing meets the health requirements that can affect health behavior that can change health status. 
  • Services - Health care can be a service or a service system that can affect health status.

Disease and toxins, six factors that affect health.

Chronic diseases are common.
1. Cancer
2. Organ Disease
3. Stroke
4. Diabetes
5. Heart Disease
6. Pneumococcal

Five major source of toxins.
1. Air Pollution
2. Sources of contaminated water
3. Fruits and vegetables contain toxins
4. Drugs, preservatives and food coloring
5. Food livestock mixed with chemicals

Six major factors affecting human health.
1. Water
2. Air
3. Regular exercise
4.
Emotional balance
5. Food and drinks
6. Get enough rest


We know that many factors that affect human health, there is even a statistic from WHO illustrating that the world is only 15% of people who are really sick and had to be hospitalized, another 15% are people who really healthy, and the remaining 60% is a healthy person but easily attacked by diseases, ie for example like me and you are susceptible to flu, colds, headaches and so forth.

How does the concept of real health?

In the life of man has a good health with which a person feels physically and mentally healthy rather a condition free from various types of diseases both physically, mentally, and socially. Healthy Concepts is a normal state in accordance with accepted standards based on certain criteria, according gender and surrounding communities.

According to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia. No. 23 of 1992 on Health, Health is a state of well being of body, soul, and social to enable more people to live socially and economically productive.

The term healthy in daily life are often used to indicate that something can work normally. Even inanimate matter such as motor vehicles or machinery, if it can function normally, it is often by its owner said that the vehicle was in good health. Most people say healthy if the body feels fresh and comfortable. Even a dokterpun be declared healthy patients according to the results of the examination when he does get the patient's entire body to function normally.Most people say health is expensive, but is it true about that fact? Studies in the opinion of the World Health Organization (WHO), is healthy is expensive, because we have to-consuming foods that are full of nutrients, will be rich in protein, iron, and others. 

According to WHO, health is a dynamic state of health includes physical, spiritual, social, and not merely the absence of disease, disability, and weakness. Said to be healthy physically is that the person does not have any clinical disorder. The function of his organs functioning properly, and he was not sick. Mentally / psychologically is a healthy mind, emotionally, and spiritually from someone.There is a case of someone who check his condition completely bad, but clinical / physician examination results indicate that the person is not sick, it could be because the person is impaired mentally / psychologically affecting physical condition. Examples of mentally healthy people who are not autistic, do not stress, do not experience acute mental illness, does not have problems related to mental health, such as kleptomania, psychopaths, and others. Patients with liver disease are also examples of people who are not healthy mentally, because there is not even a heart surgeon who can remove this poenyakkit with his instruments.While said to be healthy socially is a person's ability to interact with the environment in which he lived. The example of the unhealthy social include a prostitutes (WTS). Kemudaian people with healthy economic categories are productive, productivity and deliver it to work with the work she will be able to support his family life. 

The fourth connection determinants of health.The four factors described above are interrelated. When one sick, the other will be ill or disturbed. For example, a person is suffering from a toothache, it will tend to be irritable because the pain is holding. Anger that arises is then affected the people around him so irritable to anyone who saw. The effects of toothache that as well so the disruption of daily activities either working at home or in the office, so that the productivity of its work uninterrupted.
