If not handled properly, anemia or less blood can increase your risk of heart disease. Therefore, immediately treat anemia with proper nutritional supplements or blood booster. Some types of fruit can also increase the number of red blood cells.
Anemia or commonly known as anemia disease is a phenomenon caused by lack of iron in the body. Iron itself is a basic ingredient in the formation of hemoglobin in the blood that carries lots of oxygen.The low content of iron (Fe) on the patient's body anemia causes red blood cells are produced too little.
Some foods are good for anemia include oysters, shrimp, beef liver, meat, eggs, milk, green peas, peanuts, soy, and green vegetables.
There are also some fruits that can increase the number of red blood cells, as reported by LIVESTRONG on Wednesday (12/10/2011):
1. Vitamin A
Besides essential for eye health, vitamin A is also important to increase the number of red blood cells. Vitamin A also helps in the mobilization of iron for incorporation into hemoglobin, the pigment that transports oxygen. Fruits are good sources of vitamin A such as apricots, melons, oranges, plums, mango, watermelon and dried fruit.
2. Vitamin B complex
Some of the vitamin B complex essential for the production and function of red blood cells. Among these are B-12, B-6, B-5 of thiamine and riboflavin. While the B-12 comes from animal products, other B complex vitamins are widely distributed throughout the food supply. Fruits are good sources of vitamin B complex include bananas, dates, mangoes, grapes, pineapple, watermelon, melon, avocados and pomegranates.
3. Vitamin C
Vitamin C greatly increases the body's ability to absorb nonheme iron, which makes up about two-thirds of the amount of iron absorbed, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Fruits are rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits, lemon, lime, strawberry, kiwi, mango, papaya and pineapple.
4. Iron
Iron is essential for the structure and function of red blood cells. Iron is a component in the formulation of hemoglobin, which is essential for oxygen transport and storage. Fruits that are good sources of iron include raisins, plums, avocados, blackberries, cherries, grapes, watermelon, raspberries and figs.
5. Mineral
Copper and phosphorus plays a role in the health and function of red blood cells. Linus Pauling Institute said copper helps in the metabolism of iron, while phosphorus helps hemoglobin in oxygen delivery to tissues. Fruits are rich in phosphorus and copper, among others, kiwi, dates, mango, avocado, blackberry and pomegranate.
Disorders of bad breath may sound trivial but it is quite disturbing.Some things are known as bad breath can cause, one of which was due to deficiency of vitamin B.
Eating chewing gum or using mouthwash only provide a temporary solution, because it does not treat the underlying cause. In addition diligent brushing sometimes not enough.
About 10 percent of cases of bad breath does not come from the mouth, but due to vitamin B deficiency that causes bad breath originating from the stomach, as quoted from Mayoclinic, Saturday (08/10/2011).
Vitamin B complex helps the body make energy from food. When the body lacks this vitamin is the enzyme that is produced to help digest food and reduce bacteria in the blood is reduced.
This condition causes an increase in 'waste' in the blood that lead to bad breath. Symptoms of deficiency of vitamin B complex which include dizziness, migraines and diarrhea.
The same thing also found in the study results Evelyn Roehl researcher who discovered the deficiency of vitamin B3 (niacin) will cause bad breath due to the reduction of metabolic processes in the body. Generally, adults should consume 14-16 mg of vitamin B3 per day.
In addition to vitamin B deficiency, there are also some other cause such as food (onion, meat, milk, sugar, eggs, coffee and alcohol), smoking, having a dry mouth disorders as well as oral hygiene and bad teeth.
To overcome this problem by extending to drink to prevent dehydration and mouth ekring, avoiding food triggers bad breath, use mouthwash containing folic acid if the bad breath due to inflammation in the gums as well as consult a doctor if bad breath is still arising.
Throughout history, Tuberculosis or TB disease is very difficult to eradicate. But for the first time, the world health organization or the WHO noted a significant decrease in the number of patients and deaths due to tuberculosis.
In a report entitled Global Tuberculosis Control Report 2011, WHO stated that the number of new TB cases in the world in 2010 recorded 8.8 million and 1.4 million the number of dead souls. This figure is down compared to previous years, for example, 9.4 million new cases in 2009.
"This is a very big progress, but there is no reason for complacency," said Secretary General of the United Nations (UN Secretary General) Ban Ki-Moon when commenting on the report, as quoted by Reuters on Wednesday (12/11/2011 ).
Despite the drop, the UN secretary-general is still considered too large because millions of people still at risk of dying of tuberculosis every year. Therefore prevention and treatment efforts must be made, particularly among the poor and vulnerable of contracting.
Currently an estimated 30 percent of world population have been infected with TB germs, but only a small fraction develop into disease. This shows that basically the human body has its own immunity against the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.
However, when it was developed into the disease germs that must be treated thoroughly. Treatment process that lasted an average of 6 months do not often make patients feel at home, then stopped in the middle of the road and causing germs become resistant or immune.
Besides the issue of drug compliance, another obstacle in the eradication of tuberculosis is rising cases of HIV infection / AIDS.In people with HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis became one comorbid or Opportunistic infections are the most casualties died.
Teens Could Be Without Losing Much Vegetarian Nutrition, Vegetarian lifestyle that only vegetable products and avoid eating animal products increasingly popular, especially among young people. Although the purpose well, it makes the concerns of many parents, whether children are vegetarians still get adequate nutrition for growth.
American Dietetic Association in the U.S. said that such a diet will still be suitable for all phases of life, including children and adolescents, as long as it is well planned.
Vegetarian or vegan diet is well planned stay healthy, providing adequate nutrition and can provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.
"You can really feel the difference when you eat something from the ground and something from the factory," said Niki Gianni, an animal activist who became vegan after watching videos of animal slaughter cattle which he cruelly on YouTube when he was 11 years old.
The number of vegetarians in the United States is expected to increase during the next ten years. Vegetarian diet is closely linked with reduced risk of death from heart disease.
Vegetarians also appear to have lower rates of cancer overall, and have lower blood pressure than non vegetarians.
"Vegetarianism is more than just not eating meat and plant-based lifestyle. Vegetarians still contain enough nutrients in their food. A person can be tremendous nutritious, either through a vegetarian diet, if you can choose foods wisely and appropriately," says Roberta Anding, dietitian at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital as well as a spokesperson for the association of diet.
"Eat a variety of vegetables and fruits are important in this diet. Beans, legumes, nuts, tofu and whole grains are an excellent source of protein. Vegetarianism became increasingly popular among young people," said Lilian Cheung, director ofhealth promotion and communication at the Harvard School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition
"I think the reason why veganism is becoming increasingly popular due to celebrities such as President Clinton who became vegan," said Cheung, who also serves as editorial director of the department of nutrition sites, The Nutrition Source.
Vigilance and education are very important because adolescence is the second and last period of growth and rapid development of the body. Adolescent development of the body requires nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, B12 and iron.
Teenagers or children vegetarians who decided to not consume dairy products need to seek other alternative sources of calcium. Calcium can be found in almonds and green leafy vegetables, although the numbers were small.
Vitamin B12 is commonly found in animal protein can be a serious concern if the milk or eggs are no longer consumed. Vitamin B12 deficiency is evident from time to time. These vitamins are stored in the liver and when low levels in the body, the body will draw up the vitamin from the organ.
"Sooner or later it will run out, people who are deficient in vitamin B12 can end up with a permanent mental disorder. I salute to those who choose not to eat meat, seen from an environmental perspective. But I do not want to save the planet and the expense of the vegans. The vegan should keep taking vitamin B12 supplements, "Anding said.
To help iron intake, Anding recommends using an iron skillet to cook, so some iron will leach into food. Vitamin and mineral supplements can provide an adequate intake of iron and other essential nutrients.
"Obviously, there are some great benefits of plant-based diet, so I do not mind to it. I think the more stringent diet, the more exclusive, and the more difficult for the average person to implement dietary changes," he said as quoted by CNN. com, Monday (24/10/2011).
