Body Fat and Disease Risk

If your body weight goes up, not just body fat increases, but also the risk of various diseases. That's because the conditions that can make a person old quickly, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and pain, closely related to the presence of excess fat.

In determining the normal weight, you can use body mass index (BMI), which divides weight by height squared. Value exceeding 25 is considered overweight (overweight) and obese if the value exceeds 30. In addition to calculating BMI, you can also measure the fatness of the abdominal circumference. For women, the maximum is 80 cm and 90 cm for men.

In addition to making the body so it is not agile, piles of fat in the body will invite the arrival of the disease. Similar to other body parts, fat tissue also requires oxygen and nutrients from the blood. With the increased need for oxygen and nutrients, then the amount of blood flow throughout the body would have to increase as well. Thus, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.

Excess fat is also associated with increased LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol and triglycerides. Over time, these blood fat changes had a role in the formation of fatty deposits (plaques) in arteries. This condition is called atherosclerosis which can make your risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.

Diabetes type 2 is also closely linked to being overweight. Excess fat will directly influence the body's ability to balance blood sugar.

In addition to cardiovascular disease, according to Dr. John Tjandrawinata, SpGK from Boromeus Hospital, Bandung, there are several types of cancer associated with being overweight. "In women, such as breast cancer and uterine cancer. While in obese men, a greater risk of pancreatic cancer and biliary stones," he said.

What should be known is weight loss no matter how small would be useful. If you are obese, then lower the weight as much as 10 percent of it will give a positive effect on health.

Slimming, the traditional safer?

Fats, especially when it comes to accumulate in the body is now the enemy of many people. Therefore, all efforts to remove him popular chosen people, both men and women.

Those who want to lose weight but do not bother to exercise and regulate his diet, usually choosing medicine products, herbs, supplements, or slimming drinks.

Most of these products has not been clinically tested. Therefore dr.Johanes Tjandrawinata, Sp.GK, clinical nutritionist from Melinda Hospital Bandung, advised consumers to be more careful in choosing slimming products.

"Herbal or traditional medicines usually have the effect of increasing the frequency of urination and defecation. Hence the weight will quickly come down," he said at a media event education about anti-obesity drug safety in Jakarta, (1 / 12).

The herbs are often used for slimming are usually made from a plant of Dutch identity, yellow or saffron. Community because many are choosing herbal medicine made from natural ingredients that are safe for consumption.

Besides herbs, other products which have a way of working is similar to the herbal slimming green tea beverages. About this drink, dr.Johanes believes virtually all types of tea are able to reduce body fat.

"Research in Japan shows tea contains ECGC, an antioxidant that can increase metabolism and inhibit the formation of fat cells. Therefore, basically all types of tea can reduce body weight, origin consumed without sugar," he said.

Although most people think herbal and traditional medicines have fewer side effects than chemical drugs, but dr.Johanes said in the long term, traditional medicine can also cause side effects.

"Products that how it works out fluid can interfere with kidney and inhibited blood circulation," he said. He therefore suggested that users of medical herbs in advance to know the materials used clearly and regularly to check kidney.

What needs to be understood, according to him, that weight loss efforts is not a short process but the long term. "It can not be instant. Is not obesity is also a result of a long process?," He said. Enterprises should weight loss is holistic, ranging from setting diet, exercise, behavior modification, and medication, if needed.

Know the Risk of Prostate Cancer Through Finger

There is no simple formula to determine who will have problems in the prostate. Therefore, many doctors recommend that men over the age of 40 years of a medical examination the prostate.

Another way to determine the risk of prostate cancer, at least according to research published in Brisith Journal of Cancer, is to look at differences in finger length. It is said that men who have a longer index finger than ring finger, lower risk for prostate cancer.

Finger length is already formed before the baby is born and is influenced by sex hormones in the womb. The fetus is exposed to the hormone testosterone more less will have size index finger is longer and were protected against prostate cancer later in life.

"The results of this research may someday be used as a screening tool to be combined with other risk factors, such as genetic testing and history in the family," says Professor Ros Eeles, researchers from the University of Warwick and the Institute of Cancer Research, UK.

The study adds evidence of previous studies that mention the link between the influence of hormone balance in the fetus with the disease who may suffer in the future. It is not impossible if the will of the pregnant women can do in ways of prevention of cancer risk in prospective baby.

Even so, the men who have a shorter index finger does not need to worry because prostate cancer is more influenced by the age factor. The older the age of a man, the higher the risk of having prostate problems.

When to Keep Slimming Drugs?

Obesity and all its complications can reduce the quality of life, ranging from limitations of motion, decrease in self-confidence, until the risk of various diseases.

Obesity is a state of excessive accumulation of body fat so that weight well above normal and could endanger health. Body mass index or body mass index (BMI) has been recognized as a method in determining the level of overweight and obesity.

BMI is obtained by dividing weight (kilograms) by square of height (meters). Someone said to overweight if his BMI values over 25 and is obese if his BMI over 30.

The problem of obesity is classified as chronic and difficult to control. "Obesity is a disease with a genetic factor and a major health problem. The increase in body weight after the drug was stopped, also show obesity is a chronic disease, like hypertension," said dr. John Chandrawinata, MND, Sp.GK.

That is why, the management of obesity are also long term. However, during this penananganan identical to the reduction of obesity which is considered torture eat so often fail.

"The condition of obesity is the result of long-term. Therefore, it is also handling the long term," he said at an event about the security of anti-obesity medication that Clinic Nutrition Medical Association held in Jakarta (1 / 12).

Ideally, obesity therapy is done by setting a healthy diet, behavior modification, and exercise to increase energy expenditure.

Assisted drug
Sometimes the patient also needs the help of medical drugs that have proven its safety. The use of obesity drugs for people who already have a certain criteria, such as BMI values over 30 and adapted to the patient's disease history.

However, according dr.Johanes enough patients IMT was not yet 30 but already have prescription weight loss medication. "There are people who are not included obesity, but already experienced in abdominal fat deposition. It is also dangerous," he said.

Weight loss drug circulating in Indonesia are of two types, namely a central work by suppressing appetite and increasing satiety and drugs that work in the gut by inhibiting the absorption of nutrients.

In determining the type of drug to be used, the doctor will see indications and kontraindikasinya. "Drugs actual weight loss, including prescription drugs. Therefore, it can not be careless consumption," said dr.Johanes.

Also of note are patients with drug side effects. Obesity drug that works at the nerve center such as class subutramine now withdrawn permission orbit since proven to cause interference with the heart.

Slimming drug alert

Obesity is a scourge, not only for women but also men. Apart from the obvious appearance, in terms of health has been proven that obesity is detrimental to health. That's why many people do various efforts to reduce excess weight.

In addition to prescription drugs that have been proven medically, commercially available various supplement products, herbal medicine and traditional medicine to reduce excess weight. Although there is no scientific evidence, these products claim to be able to shed fat fast. The extent to which security products?

"Slimming supplements, such as type of fat burner, usually contain caffeine high. In high doses, these supplements can disrupt heart rhythms and cause hypertension," said dr.Johanes Chandrawinata, Sp.GK, from the Association of Physician Nutrition Specialist Clinic Indonesia.

John looking, most outstanding slimming supplement product sold under price expensive but not really effective weight loss. "If it's effective, why are not sold as a prescription drug whose price is definitely more expensive?," He asked.

He urged the public to be careful in choosing slimming products. "Avoid taking drugs, herbs or supplements that have diuretic side effects or increase urination and defecation. The product type that is rapidly losing weight, but drained of body fluids and blood flow to vital organs is interrupted," said a doctor from RS.Boromeus Bandung this.

If used in the long term, these drugs can cause heart and kidney disorders.

Weight loss drug circulating in Indonesia and already approved the current POM is a class of Diethylpropion and Orlistat. Both are clinically proven safe for long-term use.

Previously circulated also anti-obesity drug sibutramine group but since October 2010, POM suspended the marketing authorization of this drug after several international scientific journals publish research results about the side effects of these drugs that can cause strokes and heart problems.
