Watermelon medicine for bloated stomach


Distended stomach can indeed interfere with performance. Well, if you do not want to have a watermelon belly diet worth trying. Watermelon is good for mengempeskan claimed belly.

Why good watermelon to eliminate belly fat?

That's because watermelon is a food with low energy density and very low calories even though people eat in large quantities.

Foods with low energy density such as the watermelon is very useful for weight loss because it can make people satisfied without adding too many calories to the daily total.

Watermelon has a low energy density because of high water content, which also can prevent people are dehydrated and can prevent the desire to eat another dessert that actually high in calories.

American Dietetic Association reports that watermelon is 91 percent contained water. The content of this water can act as natural diuretics.

While the Mayo Clinic to explain the effect of diuretics on the watermelon will make people urinate frequently, thus reducing the amount of water retention in the body. Retention of water in this body that often causes stomach distended.

According to the National Watermelon Promotion Board, 2 slices of diced watermelon serving bowl containing 21 g carbohydrate, 20 g sugar, and do not contain fat and cholesterol.

Of course, foods that are naturally fat-free would be better metabolized by the body, thereby reducing the risk of excess fat in your midsection aka belly.

Each serving of watermelon provides 30 percent of one's daily needs for vitamin A as beta-carotene, 25 percent for vitamin C and 8 percent for potassium.

And most relevant to weight loss is 2 servings (cups) watermelon contains only 80 calories, as reported by the LIVESTRONG, Tuesday (22/02/2011).

To get the benefits, watermelon is consumed both as juice with no sugar at breakfast time, snack (snack) before lunch, and dessert (dessert) after lunch or dinner.

Besides low calories, watermelon has other advantages are beneficial to health and also lose weight. According to the Cleveland Clinic, an antioxidant that is contained in watermelon can improve the natural function of the immune system and reduce the risk of heart disease.

When eaten as part of a balanced diet, watermelon also can reduce the risk of stroke, kidney stones, bone loss, diabetes and cancer.

Watermelon Natural Viagra?


A SINGLE cold watermelon fruit fresh nan is tempting to be a healthy snack. But who would have thought, the fruit of this round of high water levels proved to have remarkable properties are almost similar to the virility drug Viagra.

Researchers from Texas United States as reported by the AP on Thursday (3 / 7), reported that watermelon contains a substance called citrulline. This substance is able to stimulate the production of chemical compounds that help the blood vessels become supple and relaxed as was the case when a man taking Viagra.

Found in the flesh and skin of the watermelon, citrulline reacts with the body's enzymes when consumed in considerable numbers. This substance then changed into arginine, an amino acid similar efficacious for the heart and circulatory system and immunity.

"Arginine trigger the production of nitric oxide, which makes your blood vessels relax, the basic effect that Viagra has, to overcome erectile dysfunction or possibly prevent it," said Bhimu Patil, a researcher and director of Texas A & M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center.

"Watermelon may not be for certain organs such as Viagra, but this is a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side effects," said Patil.

According to research, more citrulline are found in the skin of the watermelon which is about 60 percent than in the flesh. However, the rates can also vary. Citrulline can also be found in all colors of watermelon and is highest abortion is a kind of yellow watermelon.

Although the findings are quite phenomenal, Todd Wehner, Watermelon researchers at North Carolina State University, argues that anyone who used to mengomsumsi Viagra should not expect to get the same benefits of watermelon.

"It seems that watermelon can give an interesting effect, but this is not a substitute for drug therapy" emphasized Wehner.

While Penelope Perkins-Veazie, researchers United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Lane, Oklahoma, opinion, research conducted by Patil is valid but with one important note. According to him, to get citrulline that can stimulate the body's arginine level, one must take at least six glasses (about 1.4 liters) of watermelon.

"Masalahnyam when eating too much watermelon, you tend to frequent the restroom," added Perkins-Veazie.

Watermelon is a diuretic or indeed increase the speed of formation of urine. Another problem, says Perkins-Veazie, is the sugar content is so great that would overflow into the blood vessels so feared cause cramps.

According to Patil, whose research is funded by USDA, nitric oxide can also help patients with angina, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases. Patil and his team berencara continued research to identify mechanisms to reduce the sugar content in watermelon.

Watermelon Fruit as a Drug Allergy


The term allergy, we often hear the word. Allergies are generally caused by certain substances into the body of the response negative / excessive by the body. The results have proved that if one parent suffers from allergies and reduced the risk of potential disease in children is around 25 -30% whereas if both parents suffer from allergies in children reduced the risk of potential to be 60-70%.

The forms of allergy which is generally seen is in the form of itching or blisters occur primarily on the cheeks, area around the hair, excessive ear wax sometimes a little smelly, and other symptoms that often arise dirt is eye eye (belekan) one side / both sides.

The best means of prevention is to avoid factors originators. Theoretically allergies can not be eliminated but can be reduced frequencies. However, allergies are often difficult to avoid. But when it happens there is an easy and inexpensive tips to cope with how to eat watermelon fruit. The purpose of eating a watermelon in addition to reducing the well to prevent allergy symptoms. The pharmacology of watermelon fruit contains a substance diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and lubricating the intestines. Furthermore, this fruit mengadung lycopene which is a superior anti-oxidant than vitamin C and E.

This method can be tried for treatment other than to enjoy the fresh sebarapun you like also to eliminate the existing feeling of thirst. Hopefully useful.

DANGERS OF TOBACCO





Tobacco consists of thousands of components, where the main components consisting of nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide.
Nicotine rapidly into the brain so a person smokes. Levels of nicotine that is inhaled will be able to cause death if the levels are more than 30 mg. Every cigarette contains nicotine an average of 0.1-1.2 mg of nicotine. Of these, the entry level of nicotine in blood circulation 25%, but small amounts were able to reach the brain within 15 seconds Tar is not a single substance, composed of hundreds of chemicals dark and sticky, and classified as a poison maker of cancer. Often, many cigarette manufacturers do not include tar and nicotine in cigarette packaging their production. For example, Sampoerna
A Mild is claimed as a cigarette lighter, has a tar content of 1.5 mg per stem. Carbon monoxide is a poison that expel oxygen from its binding with hemoglobin in red blood grains. CO bonds with hemoglobin (COHb) would make HB CO can not untie, and consequently the function of hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier reduced its function and this causes the heart work more.

Nicotine as a substance that is most widely associated with addiction to cigarettes received by the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-adrenergic who later on track so that makes smokers feel more calm, enjoyable, spur the dopaminergic system, and feel more brilliant thinking power. While the adrenergic path, this substance will activate the adrenergic system that issued the neurotransmitter serotonin. Increasing serotonin is what causes the onset of stimulation of pleasure to find another cigarette
. The process of burning cigarette is no different with different by the process of burning other solid materials. Cigarettes made from dried tobacco leaves, paper, flavor substances that can be formed by the elements carbon (C), the element hydrogen (H), the element oxygen (O), the elements Nitrogen (N), the element sulfur (S) and elements Another small amount.

Cigarette overall chemistry can be formulated as CvHwOtNySzSi. This will cause dangerous reactions smoking to health, among others:

a) Reaction of cigarettes with oxygen to form compounds such as CO2, H2O, NOx, SOx, and CO. This reaction is called a combustion reaction occurring high temperature that is above 800 degrees Celsius which occurs at the edge or surface of the cigarette which is in contact with air.
The process of burning cigaret
tes could be explained by chemical reactions CvHwOtNySzSi + O2 + combustion above 800 C into CO2 + NOx + SOx + SiO2 (ash).

b) The reaction solution chemical structure of cigarettes into other chemical compounds. This reaction occurred due to high heating and absence of oxygen in this reaction. This reaction is more commonly known as pirolysis reaction. Pirolysis combustion occurs at lower than 800 degrees Celsius (about 400-800 degrees Celsius).
Typical of this reaction is the formation pirolysis thousands of chemical compounds that are complex. This process can be explained by the chemical reaction combustion CvHwOtNySzSi + 400-800 C to other chemical compounds (3000 molecular complex).
Although not dominant pirolysis reaction in the process of smoking, but many compounds produced toxic compounds which belong to has the ability to diffuse in the blood. Actually this pirolysis product can burn whe
n the product through a high temperature and sufficient oxygen, the thing that does not happen in the process because the process of inhaled smoke and gas products in the area of ​​400-800 degrees Celsius temperatures to flow directly towards the mouth of the temperature around 37 degrees Celsius,







c) Reaction of water vapor evaporation of water and nicotine.
The reactions that take p
lace at a temperature of 100-400 degrees Celsius, where the nicotine is vaporized at this temperature region is not an opportunity through high temperatures and does not undergo a process of combustion. The condensation of nicotine vapor in the gas depends on temperature, concentration of nicotine vapor in the gas and gas channel geometry passed. If the temperature is less than 100 degrees Celsius, the nicotine is condensing, so that before the gas enters the mouth, nicotine condensation has occurred and the gas enters the lungs still contain this substance, where in the lungs, nicotine will experience condensation back.

USE OF MOMORDICA CHARANTIA L. AS AN ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE DIABETES MELLITUS

ABSTRACT

Millitus Diabetes is a disease caused by declining hormone produced by the pancreas gland. According to data from world health organization (WHO), Indonesia ranks sixth of the world as a country with the largest number of diabetic patients after India, China, Soviyet Union, Japan and Brazil. The writing is aimed to know the ability pare as an alternative medicine that comes from the local potential of Indonesia, in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.Tanaman pare to lower blood sugar because the
se plants contain saponins, flavonoids, and polyphenols (powerful antioxidants), and cucurbitacin glycoside, momordicin, and charantin ..

INTRODUCTION

Background

Millitus Diabetes is a disease caused by declining hormone produced by the pancreas gland. The decline of this hormone caused the sugar (glucose) is consumed the body can not produce
perfectly, so the levels of glucose in the body will increase. Sugar which include polysaccharides, digosakarida, disaccharides and monosaccharides are energy sources that support the whole of human activity. All this sugar will be processed into power by the hormone insulin because of diabetes mellitus usually will experience lethargy, lack of energy, always feeling thirsty, frequent urination, and blurred vision, other symptoms caused by a too high glucose levels will occur atheroma as initial cause of coronary heart disease. (Utami, Prapti. 2003)


Diabetes mellitus is now almost reaching the whole world, not only developed countries are infected with this disease, but also developing countries now seems to have started having probilitas this disease, according to data from world health organization (WHO), Indonesia ranks sixth of the world as a country with the largest number of diabetic patients after India, China, Soviyet Union, Japan and Brazil. Recorded in 1995 the number of diabetes sufferers in Indonesia reached 5 million, in the year 2000 alone, there are around 5.6 million people in Indonesia who have diabetes. However, in 2006 the estimated number of diabetics in Indonesia rose sharply to 14 million people, where only 50% are aware of the virus and among them only about 30% of which come treatment regularly, It is unfortunate that many people with diabetes who do not realize they suffer from diseases that more often called sugar disease or diabetes. This may be due to the lack of information in the community about diabetes, especially symptoms that happened to him. (Soegondo, Sidartawan. 2006.www. Medicastore.com).

Diabetes mellitus high prices of drugs produced in the factory and the market seems quite an impact on people's purchasing power is less, even more so for people who categorized in middle class society, so this is causing the patient reluctant to buy medicines and may eventually lead to diabetes mellitus suffered more severe and even can cause death.

Pare plants is an alternative in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, because these plants contain saponins, flavonoids, and polyphenols (powerful antioxidants), and cucurbitacin glycoside, momordicin, and charantin which can lower blood sugar. (Anoymous. 2007)

Problem Formulation

Ø nutritional content of what is contained in pare

Ø How do I use bitter melon in the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus

Goal Writing

The writing is aimed to know the ability pare as an alternative medicine that comes from the local potential of Indonesia, in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Benefits of Writing

Writing offers some benefits, namely in terms of academics to provide scientific information to the public about the benefits of bitter melon as an alternative medicine that comes from the local potential of Indonesia, in penyembuan diabetes mellitus. In terms of economic aspects of the use of bitter melon as an alternative medicine treatment of diabetes mellitus can save cost and more practical.

DISCUSSION

Pare Nutrition

Diabetes mellitus often referred to as the great imitator, because this disease can affect all organs of the body and cause various kinds of complaints will typically experience lethargy, lack of energy, always feeling thirsty, frequent urination, and vision becomes blurred. The use of flora or plant potential for therapy in diabetes is likely to be quite effective altrenatif and affordable by people with diabetes mellitus. In Indonesia a lot of plants that have the potential to serve food that can help in diabetes mellitus mengatasai is especially bitter melon plant. (Utami, Prapti. 2003)

Pare plants (Momordica charantia L.) originating from the Asia-Tropical. Plant this one is famous for its fruit is bitter. Behind the sense of bitterness that's precisely pare health benefits. Nutrient content in pare quite well. Pare contains proteins, carbohydrates, and little lemakmineral pare rich in calcium, iron and phosphorus. Vitamins are prominent in them are vitamin A and vitamin C. (Anoymous. 2007)

Savor the fruit of bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) as a medicine in China has accounted for Li since 1578. Initially as a tonic, worming, cough medicines, antimalarial, sprue, wound healing, and appetite enhancer. Hundreds of research in many developing countries and then uncovers the bitter fruit of this effect lowering blood sugar levels (hypopglycemic effect). (Anoymous. 2007)

The cause of diabetes mellitus is the lack of production and availability of insulin in the body or an interruption of insulin function, which actually is quite. Insulin deficiency caused minor damage to some or most of the beta cells of the island of Langerhans in the pancreas gland that produce insulin function. Insulin is a polypeptide (protein). Under normal circumstances, if blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas gland to release insulin and into the bloodstream. The blood insulin receptor that is distributed to the liver by 50%, kidney around 10-20%, as well as blood cells, muscle, and fat tissue around 30-40%.

As long as there is no insulin, sugar in the blood can not enter the cells - the cells of other tissues such as muscle and fat tissue. It could be argued that insulin is the key that opens the door of the cell network, enter the sugar into the cells, and closed again. Inside the cell, burnt sugar into energy useful for the move. Similar research in Germany, Britain, India, Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia confirm pare nutritious as antidiabetic agents. Pare who has not been cooked contain saponins, flavonoids, and polyphenols (powerful antioxidants), and cucurbitacin glycoside, momordicin, and charantin.

Pare effects in lowering blood sugar in animal experiments work by preventing the intestines absorb sugar is eaten. Also believed to have a component that resembles pare sulfonylurea (drug antidiabetic oldest and widely used). This type of drug stimulates the body's beta cells of the pancreas gland to produce more insulin, in addition to increasing the deposit reserve sugar in the liver glycogen. Pare effects in lowering blood sugar in rabbits also estimated similar to the mechanism of insulin.

Of so much research pare as lowering blood sugar, there is a red thread that in lowering blood sugar, bitter melon has more than one mechanism. Moreover, pare research in Germany managed to find an effective dose of bitter melon in lowering blood sugar healthy rabbits of 0.5 grams / kg body weight, and 1 to 1.5 grams / kg body weight for rabbits that deliberately contrived diabetes. (Anonimous. 2007).
