Diseases that are Common in the Elderly<\/a><\/h3>
\n Hello Hermina friends, as we age, we will experience changes both physically and mentally. Several diseases began to appear and often occur in the elderly, including coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, stroke, hypertension, anxiety disorders to cataracts. The emergence of these degenerative diseases can affect a person's quality of life. By knowing some of the diseases that often occur in the elderly, we can start planning and implementing a healthy lifestyle from an early age.\n\nSome of the diseases that often arise and are at risk of occurring in the elderly, include:\n\n Diabetes mellitus. This disease is one of the diseases that are prone to be experienced by the elderly. Diabetes mellitus or what we know as diabetes, can attack from a young age and is most susceptible to occur in the elderly. Diabetes mellitus can be identified through blood tests to determine blood sugar levels in the body. There is the term GDS (Blood Sugar When) which is a blood sugar test that is done at any time even after eating. The results will describe blood sugar levels. If the results show > 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/L), then it is certain that the person is suffering from blood sugar. There is also the term GDP (Fasting Blood Sugar), usually the GDP test is done on purpose and to find out the sugar level in the blood after 8 to 10 hours of not eating. It is recommended to do it in the morning. The GDP value should not be more than 126 mg/dl\n Hypertension. Hypertension is the medical understanding of high blood pressure. This condition can cause various kinds of life-threatening health complications if left unchecked. In fact, this disorder can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and death. A person can experience high blood pressure when more blood is pumped by the heart and due to the narrowing of the blood vessels in the arteries. Hypertension can be known by routine checks on blood pressure. It is recommended to be done annually by all adults. \n \n\n \n \n Coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease is a condition when the main blood vessels that supply blood, oxygen and nutrients to the heart are disrupted. This condition is caused by cholesterol plaque and inflammation\n Strokes. Stroke is the number one cause of disability and the second cause of death in the world after ischemic heart disease in both developed and developing countries. Stroke is a symptom of a deficit in nerve function caused by cerebrovascular disease. Impaired nerve function in a stroke is caused by a non-traumatic brain circulatory disorder.\n These nerve disorders cause symptoms including: paralysis of the face or limbs, speech is not fluent, speech is not clear (pelo), changes in consciousness, visual disturbances, and others.\n Cataract. Cataracts are a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and vision becomes as opaque as a dewy window glass. Besides causing discomfort, cataracts can also cause harm. The cause of cataracts can be the result of several factors, including age, exposure to ultraviolet light, smoking, to diabetes.\n\nThe explanation above are some of the diseases that are prone to be experienced by the elderly. Routine check-ups by doing medical check-ups, exercising regularly and adopting a healthy lifestyle from an early age are our efforts to stay healthy and fit in old age.

To Prevent Bad Breath, Do This Scaling or Treatment<\/a><\/h3>
Bad breath, or halitosis, is a problem experienced by many people. This condition often triggers feelings of insecurity and discomfort. Especially if Hermina's best friend is the type of person who has to interact with many people every day. But don't worry; bad breath can be prevented with proper dental and oral care. \n\n \n\n Treatment to Prevent Bad Breath \n\n The oral cavity, which is not kept clean, is one of the main causes of bad odor. The main key to treating bad breath is to ensure that the oral cavity is always clean and free of plaque and germs. Here are some types of treatments that dentists usually do to prevent bad breath: \n\n 1. Scaling \n\n Cleaning tartar or scaling is one of the most popular actions to take to maintain oral hygiene. It should be noted that bad breath can appear when tartar builds up and bacteria multiply in it. Plaque and bacteria will continue to grow and make bad breath worse. \n\n Dental plaque is a pile of leftover food and bacteria that develop in the mouth and are left alone. Leftover food and bacteria then harden over time to become tartar. The process of brushing your teeth regularly will not be able to remove the tartar because it has hardened. Scaling is needed so that the tartar can be completely clean. \n\n Scaling should be done every six months to maintain the cleanliness and health of the oral cavity. If cleaned regularly, tartar is easier to remove and will not trigger bad breath. \n\n 2. Dental Fillings \n\n Furthermore, there are dental fillings which is also an effort to get rid of bad breath. It should be noted that bad breath is also triggered by cavities in the teeth. Cavities in the teeth cause food scraps to get stuck there more easily. Leftover food makes bacteria multiply and then produce an unpleasant aroma. \n\n That is why dental fillings are needed so that there is no space that allows food residue to accumulate. In addition, dental fillings are also done so that the holes in the teeth do not become a place for bacteria to grow. When cavities are left alone, bacteria easily multiply there and cause an odor to appear. \n\n Regular dental checks every six months are one of the efforts to prevent cavities. If Hermina's friend does a routine checkup, the dentist can immediately find out if there are cavities in the teeth. The sooner you find out, the easier it will be to patch because the hole isn't too big. \n\n 3. Brushing teeth and flossing regularly \n\n The easiest treatment that can be done to prevent bad breath is to brush your teeth and floss regularly. Hermina's friends, of course, already know that brushing your teeth is a habit that must be done every day. Brushing your teeth regularly can help keep your mouth clean and prevent food debris from accumulating between your teeth. \n\n The teeth cleaning process can be more perfect if Hermina's friends floss. Flossing is a technique for cleaning between the teeth using dental floss. This tool can assist in thoroughly cleaning food scraps up to and between the teeth.Be sure to be careful when doing this so as not to cause injury. \n\n If it's still not enough, the Friends of Hermina can also use mouthwash to prevent bad breath. Currently, there are many choices of mouthwash products on the market. Just choose a mouthwash product that has many benefits and can get rid of bad odors. \n\n \n\n Prevent bad breath with a healthy lifestyle \n\n In addition to treatment at the dentist and brushing and flossing, Friends of Hermina also need to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle has an effect on oral health. If Hermina's friend's lifestyle is messy and unhealthy, then several problems may arise in the oral cavity and one of them is an unpleasant odor. In order to prevent bad breath, try to adopt a healthier lifestyle. For example, by drinking enough water so you don't get dehydrated and your mouth doesn't dry out. Be sure to eat lots of vegetables and fruit that provide vitamin intake in the oral cavity. Also avoid smoking and alcohol which can trigger bad breath. \n\n Things like this are often overlooked, even though they are very important not only for the health of the body but also for the oral cavity. Don't forget to manage stress well because the influence of this stress can also disrupt the balance of oral health. The problem of bad breath should not be taken lightly. Hermina's friends can be insecure because of bad breath and can even feel stressed because of this problem. So you should immediately find out what caused the bad breath and get the most appropriate solution. Hermina friends can also be more confident with a much healthier and odor-free oral cavity. \n\n Immediately consult complaints about the teeth and mouth of Friends of Hermina with the dentist at the nearest Hermina Hospital, or friends of Hermina can also consult our doctor online via Halo Hermina. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

13 Factors that Cause Cataracts in the Eyes and How to Reduce the Risk<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's best friend must have often heard about cataracts, right? What actually causes cataracts, and is there a way to prevent them? \n\n Cataracts are a disease that often occurs in the eye, especially in older people. This condition occurs when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy, resulting in blurred or blurry vision. \n\n It can even affect one or both eyes. If not treated immediately, it is not impossible that these cataracts can cause blindness. So, to find out more about this disease, please follow this review to the end. \n\n \n\n Causes of Cataracts in the Eyes \n\n As explained above, cataracts are a condition in which the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy or opaque. This cloudy lens in the eye blocks light from entering the eye and interferes with vision. There are many factors that cause cataracts, including : \n\n 1. Age \n\n Age is the main factor that causes cataracts, which usually occur in those over the age of 60. The older a person is, the more likely they are to have cataracts. This is because the lens of the eye has aged and becomes less elastic with age. \n\n 2. Radiation \n\n Exposure to radiation, such as ionizing radiation, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. For example, it occurs in patients undergoing radiation therapy to the head or neck. In addition, ultraviolet radiation from sunlight can also damage the lens of the eye and increase the risk of cataracts. \n\n 3. Alcohol consumption \n\n People who consume excessive alcohol have a higher risk of developing cataracts. This may be due to the toxic effect of alcohol on the lens of the eye. \n\n 4. Cigarette consumption \n\n Smokers have a higher risk of developing cataracts. Exposure to cigarette smoke and the chemicals in it can damage the lens and eye cells. This is what causes cataracts. \n\n 5. Disease \n\n Several diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and thyroid disorders, can increase the risk of cataracts. Especially diabetics, they have a higher risk of developing cataracts. This is related to high blood sugar levels, which can damage the eye lens and accelerate aging in that part. \n\n In addition, the use of certain drugs, such as corticosteroids used to treat certain diseases such as asthma or arthritis, can also increase the risk of cataracts. \n\n 6. Obesity \n\n Obesity and being overweight can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. This condition can interfere with metabolism and health in general, including eye health. \n\n 7. Other eye disorders \n\n Other eye disorders, such as myopia or hyperopia, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. This is probably because the disorder affects the use of the lens in the eye. \n\n 8. Family history \n\n Some types of cataracts can be caused by genetic factors. Such as congenital cataracts, which occur in newborns or when cataracts develop at an early age. \n\n In addition, if there is a family history of cataracts, a person's risk of experiencing the same condition increases. Similar genetic and environmental factors can influence cataract risk. \n\n 9. Eating habit \n\n Deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins C and E, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. Consumption of healthy foods rich in nutrients can help maintain eye health. \n\n 10. Use of steroids \n\n Long-term use of steroids can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. Steroids can cause changes in the lens structure of the eye. \n\n 11.Eye trauma \n\n Injury to the eye can lead to cataracts, especially if the trauma affects the lens of the eye. Eye injuries can occur as a result of accidents, acts of violence, or extreme sports activities. Not only that, repeated trauma to the eye can also increase the risk of cataracts. \n\n 12. Infection \n\n Infection of the eye, such as conjunctivitis or uveitis, is also a cause of cataracts. This infection can cause inflammation of the eye lens and cause damage. \n\n 13.Environmental exposure \n\n Exposure to environmental pollution, such as motor vehicle exhaust, can increase a person's risk of developing cataracts. Pollutants in the air can damage the eye's lens and cause cataracts. \n\n \n\n Signs and symptoms of cataracts \n\n The emergence of a disease must start with several symptoms, as well as cataracts. Some of the symptoms of cataracts that often occur, for example, include : \n\n - Blurred vision \n\n - Difficulty seeing in dim light \n\n - It looks like seeing through a blur \n\n - Hermina's best friend's vision in one eye \n\n - Changes in color perception \n\n - Blurred vision \n\n When these symptoms appear, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist can perform an eye exam and determine whether cataracts are affecting vision and how serious the condition is. \n\n \n\n How to Reduce the Risk of Cataracts \n\n Treating cataracts can be done through surgery. This is a relatively simple procedure and only uses local anesthetic. This procedure involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial one. \n\n Apart from surgery, lifestyle changes can also help reduce the risk of cataracts. Some ways to reduce your risk of cataracts include: \n\n \n \n Avoid excessive sun exposure \n \n \n Get rid of smoking habits \n \n \n Eat healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits \n \n \n Wear sunglasses when outdoors during the day \n \n \n Control underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and others \n \n \n\n \n\n In essence, cataracts are a common disease of the eye, especially in older people. Therefore, it is important to detect and treat cataracts as soon as possible to prevent blindness. \n\n If Hermina's friends experience cataract symptoms, immediately consult the complaints of Hermina's friends with an ophthalmologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Hermina's friends can also consult with our doctor online through Halo Hermina. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

It can also increase the risk of diabetes, namely type 2 diabetes, and stroke. \n\n \n\n According to experts, the cause of the metabolic syndrome itself is not well understood. However, what can be ascertained is that there are risk factors that cause metabolic syndrome, including: \n\n \n \n Age: the older you are, the higher your risk of developing metabolic syndrome. \n \n \n Ethnicity or race \n \n \n Gender: women have a higher risk than men. \n \n \n A pattern of life that is "mager" or lacks physical activity \n \n \n People with special conditions, such as having diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) \n \n \n\n There are five symptoms of metabolic syndrome: \n\n \n \n Central obesity (people whose bodies are like an apple shape or pear shape) or are distended. If the size of the abdominal circumference is above 102 cm for men and above 89 cm for women, \n \n \n Blood pressure above 130/85 mmHg \n \n \n Triglyceride levels over 150 mg/dL \n \n \n increased fasting blood sugar \n \n \n Decreased levels of HDL (high density lipoprotein), or good cholesterol. \n \n \n\n If you experience three of the five symptoms above, then you have metabolic syndrome. \n\n Metabolic syndrome complications \nThe complications of metabolic syndrome include: \n\n \n \n Diabetes \n \n \n Coronary heart disease \n \n \n Stroke Disease \n \n \n Cancer \n \n \n\n \nHow can I prevent getting metabolic syndrome? \nExercise more or less 50 minutes a week. So the recommended foods are foods that are high in fiber, such as fruit, vegetables, and wheat; an easy example is brown rice, which has more fiber than plain white rice. Routinely carry out health checks so you can find out the right next steps. \n\n \n \n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get To Know The Causes Of Kidney Stones And How To Treat Them<\/a><\/h3>
One disease that is often complained about and can interfere with activities is kidney stones. Diseases with symptoms of pain in the kidneys due to stones blocking the ducts can still be treated medically. However, it would be nice if you recognized the causes of kidney stones so you knew how to prevent them. It is known that the pain caused can interfere with activities, and if left too long, the stones in the kidney canal can get bigger. The causes for the appearance of these stones vary, so it is very appropriate if you are here to find out the detailed causes. \n\n \n\n causes of kidney stones that are often underestimated \n\n If you know, the appearance of stones in the renal tract can occur due to trivial things. Kidney stones can be triggered by a lack of health maintenance and the consumption of the wrong diet. The following will review in full the various causes of kidney stones : \n\n \n \n less drinking water \n \n \n\n The most frequent cause of kidney stones is a lack of water entering the body. while the majority of the body is water. As a result, meeting fluid needs on a daily basis is critical.If the amount of water that enters the body is less, the minerals in the body will easily crystallize. Therefore, if you don't want to experience kidney stones, you should diligently drink enough water every day so that your body's needs can be fulfilled. \n\n \n \n Excess salt consumption \n \n \n\n The next cause of kidney stones, besides consuming less water, is the large consumption of salt. Therefore, as a preventive and treatment measure, it is usually recommended to reduce the use of excess salt and avoid consuming foods high in salt. For example, preserves, canned foods, and bread Foods that contain high levels of salt can increase the risk of forming calcium stones in the kidney tract. \n\n \n \n Excessive Consumption of Animal Protein \n \n \n\n To meet the body's protein requirements, you must consume animal protein. However, if this protein is consumed in excess, it can be a cause of kidney stones. Red meat and shellfish are two types of foods that contain a lot of protein. If both are consumed in excess, they will increase uric acid, increase the acidity of urine, and reduce citrate content. You should be aware if your uric acid levels rise because this can lead to joint pain. It can, however, be a cause of kidney stones. \n\n \n \n Excessive oxalate consumption \n \n \n\n Kidney stones in the kidneys and their ducts vary in shape according to the type of mineral that forms them. The most common type of kidney stone is a stone that is a mixture of oxalate and calcium that will react and unite when urine is produced. The cause of this type of kidney stone is due to excessive consumption of oxalate compounds. This compound is easy to find in foods such as spinach, beets, nuts, star fruit, and so on. There is no prohibition against consuming these foods. However, it would be better if you consumed these foods along with foods that contain high amounts of calcium. This is because calcium can help the body process oxalate and bind it with calcium during digestion so that it does not settle in the kidneys. \n\n \n \n Consumption of Certain Drugs \n \n \n\n Not only because of the consumption of certain foods that contain compounds that trigger kidney stones, kidney stones can also occur due to the consumption of certain drugs. Examples are antibiotic drugs, drugs for HIV, diuretic drugs, and so on. These drugs also have the potential to cause stones in the kidney tract. \n\n \n \n Certain medical conditions \n \n \n\n The next cause of kidney stones is due to certain medical conditions. For example, type 2 diabetes, gout, and hyperparathyroidism For prevention, you really have to live a healthy lifestyle and diet because the emergence of this disease is the result of your negligence in maintaining these two patterns. primarily in maintaining a healthy diet. \n\n \n \n Digestive Problems \n \n \n\n The appearance of kidney stones can also come from digestive disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis. Disorders that arise in the digestive system can cause diarrhea and reduce the frequency of urination. If the level of urine that comes out is not as high as usual, the body can absorb more oxalate from the intestine, which is mixed with urine. \n\n Of the many causes of kidney stones above, the treatment method is actually not too difficult if you want to do it consistently and seriously. The easiest treatment, of course, is to consume lots of water. However, for people with kidney stones who also have a history of heart disease, they must regulate their intake of water. Because consuming a lot of water is also not good for the heart. The next treatment is to avoid foods that trigger the appearance of kidney stones. better consumption of healthy and balanced food that is good for the body. Another treatment is medical action. You can use kidney stone laxatives or surgery to destroy the kidney stones. \n\n Consult immediately if Hermina's best friend experiences symptoms of kidney stones with a specialist at the hospital. Hermina's family and friends can also consult with a hospital specialist online. Hermina with the Hello Hermina app \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
