IF you are someone who is not anti vegetables, thanks! Various studies have shown that vegetables contain powerful compounds that can increase endurance, protect you from disease and ‘fight’ obesity. Furthermore, phytochemicals, substances found only in vegetables and fruit, powerful lower risk of chronic diseases and cancer.

Vegetable eating habits did not come naturally to everyone. Moreover, as revealed by dr. Leane Manurung, MSc, nutritionist doctor, the original flavour of vegetables is not as good as meat, “If not cooked with spices or a sauce of wine, taste of vegetables is less appealing,” he said. In addition, many people who do not like to eat vegetables because it’s not been eating small conditioned. “Most children who do not like to eat vegetables is the mother worked or not diligently ’serve’ his son,” said Leane. Researchers from the National Cancer Institute, U.S., and even found that only 20% of children who eat fruit and vegetable servings a day. And 25% of the types of vegetables are eaten by their French fries if you include people who are lazy or even less likely to eat vegetables, maybe a little trick can help you to meet the needs of daily vegetable intake. Nothing wrong, right, try!

Find what you like
Fortunately we live in a tropical country that is rich in various plants. Yes, you can easily find a favourite vegetable. To get it you need to arouse curiosity and your adventurous spirit. And most important is the willingness to experiment. Experiment will include processing methods. Because vegetables are processed by boiling, pan-fried, cooked in a microwave or eaten raw will give you a taste and texture are different. How to cultivate the right still to consider. For example, vegetables should be cooked in quick time, as you often see in Chinese restaurants Food. “If cooked quickly, the color will remain green vegetables. Moreover, if too long, vitamins and minerals will be reduced,” said Leane.

Salad or Gado-gado
You can put whatever vegetables you like into the salad, like lettuce, tomatoes, beets, corn, peppers, carrots, onions and others. In addition to vegetables,

Why need to eat vegetables?
There are three processes that occur in the body, namely the combustion (power), construction (growth) and settings. To get the energy, the body needs carbohydrate, fat and protein. Whereas for growth and development is needed protein and water. And to arrange for all these processes occur must have vitamins and minerals derived from vegetables and fruits. “That’s why the vegetable is very important for the body, because there are certain substances which can only be obtained through the vegetables. In the flesh there is also vitamins and minerals, but the discrepancy was small,” said Leane.

Eat lots of vegetables and fruits are also an ideal way to lose weight naturally. In addition to low calorie and low fat, fiber in the vegetables can be filling the stomach. Vegetables also make intestinal peristaltic work better, making it easier bowel movement.

Serve with interesting
How to presentation and treatment of interest can help you get rid of a sense of reluctance to eat vegetables. No need to consume vegetables are raw vegetables, or put the whole stack in your dinner plate. Try to make it more delicious cooked into soup, pizza, pie or lasagna. With cut into smaller sizes or mixed with other food ingredients, vegetables will be much better views. Moreover, when eating soup, you will not feel the flavour and aroma of each vegetable. Or as in pastel or lasagna, you do not need to look directly vegetables because the dough is wrapped closed.

Allowed to add fruit
Many nutritional content in vegetables are also found in fruit. So that you could replace the nutritional deficiencies of these vegetables with fruits. But that does not mean avoiding fresh vegetables at all. There are nutrients and compounds in vegetables that can not be easily obtained elsewhere. “The fruit contains more vitamins, but less fiber and minerals,” says Leane. But you could combine fruits with vegetables. Drinking a glass of juice in the morning and another one in the afternoon or evening can be a considerable effort. But because the number of fibers lost in the processing of juice, it’s not a good idea if only rely on juice alone. And do not forget, pay attention to the variety of fruit types and colors that you want to eat. Each type and color has its own advantages.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or laymen sometimes called rheumatoid disease is a chronic systemic inflammation.

Psychosomatic Clinic psychiatrist, Dr. Andri SpKJ from Omni International Hospital Alam Sutera said patients usually experience symptoms early symptoms are usually vague, such as musculoskeletal pain (muscle and bone) that quickly passed and morning stiffness (stiff in the morning) that lasted several weeks or months without producing a diagnosis. This disease can cause disability and disability, even in conditions that are still early disease.

RA can also cause mood changes in the sufferer. This can be seen from several cases of RA patients who were also accompanied by depression. Until now the exact cause of this disease is unknown. The disease is usually the synovial membrane of the joint liaison.

Andri explained prevalence in the general population is of 1-2%, and women suffer three times more than men. This disease usually begins at around 20-40 years of age. In the past this disease is considered a mild disease, but currently there is a tendency of this disease increase mortality and cause severe helplessness that early and aggressive treatment is needed.

Although many studies both in the field of genetics and immunology, the cause of RA still not be known for sure. Current research focuses on the many possibilities that this disease is the result of infection by organisms that are not known, took place on the host genetically (individuals) are vulnerable.

The research seeks to explain whether acute stress has a role in the occurrence of RA have varied results. Some studies suggest some patients would give a different sensitivity to a potential stress.

Nail fungus is an infection in either the fingernails or toenails, sometimes it can soften the nails or thicken them and can cause discoloration of the nails as well, nail fungus is one of the most difficult conditions to treat, and they often cause severe damage to the nails or even nail loss. Nail fungus is a contagious condition, so be very weary of what you are sharing with other people. There are three different types of nail fungus, the first being Distal subungual onychomycosis, then there is Proximal subungual onychomycosis and finally White superficial onychomycosis. As of right now, upwards of 20% of the world population is effected by either toe or nail fungus, senior citizens hold the majority of that percentage. I am going to discuss why older adults especially senior citizens are more effected by nail fungus then the younger individuals.

Senior citizens are more prone to nail fungus, especially toe nail fungus, for a few reasons, the same reasons are for younger individuals, but the fact of there age, most likely they will have the issues. Alot of senior citizens have circulation problems, the percentage of senior citizens that are diabetics and the fact that their immunity level is much lower than a younger individual can cause nail fungus in the toes and nails.

It is much harder for a senior citizen to prevent nail fungus, simply because as much as you take care of your health, you are still going to have certain issues that you can not help, circulation is a hard one and immunity like I mentioned earlier, vitamins should help a little bit. Some ways to try to prevent the fungus from growing is to not walk barefoot in places where other people have been, clean your shower or tub on a regular basis, don’t keep sweaty shoes or sweaty socks on, fungus loves to grow and stay on places that are constantly wet or moist. If a senior citizen follows a few steps like I mentioned, it could prevent them from getting nail fungus. There are ways to treat nail fungus if you are unsuccessful at preventing it, there are natural methods and prescription’s that your doctor can subscribe, just to name a few.

The best thing to do if you discover that you have some type of nail fungus is to treat it as soon as possible to prevent it to spread to other nails on you or someone else and possible loose your nails, especially for senior citizens since they are more effected by nail fungus.
