What Happens When Someone Has a Stroke?

 A stroke is like a brain accident where a vein in the brain gets blocked or burst. So those veins are like small tubes that carry blood. The blood supply to the brain should not be delayed because when there is no blood there is no oxygen to reach the brain which could cause the brain tissue to die.

It is important to understand that the brain is a very important part of our body. Because the brain functions so that we can feel, see, hear, smell, speak, understand, act, plan, feel, think correctly and almost everything we can do is under the control of our brain.

The brain mainly needs oxygen and nutrients to function properly. since the brain is the control center of the whole body, it is necessary that the blood flow to the brain is good so that oxygen and nutrients can also enter it well.

In the case of a stroke, when a vein in the brain is blocked or ruptured, the most common symptom is the inability to move half of the body. Hard to move hands and feet. Others lose their balance and fall easily when sitting or standing. Difficulty speaking, behavior changes, irritable, absent-minded, forgetful. Sometimes even control over urination and defecation is also lost.

The symptoms seen in each stroke patient are different. If there is a blockage in the right side of the brain, the left hand and foot cannot be moved. If the left side of the brain is blocked, the right hand and foot cannot be moved and it is often difficult to speak.

To prevent the progression of a stroke, do not ignore these symptoms.

1.) hanging half of the face. Assymetry occurs or the face is uneven, as if one side is tilted.

2.) Can't raise one hand. When ordered to raise the hands at the same time, only one can raise. If both are raised, one will immediately fall.

3.) Difficult to speak, stuttering

4.) Take the person experiencing these symptoms to the hospital/emergency room immediately. Do not prolong or allow more than four hours without being taken to the hospital. There is a high chance that the brain damage will be severe if immediate treatment is not given.

Having a stroke is no joke. Good luck to others who have recovered and returned to their former strength. But many who have had a stroke are unable to walk normally, have limited hand movement, and are unable to speak properly.

So nowadays, it's not just the elderly who get strokes. You should be careful with your body, eat right, avoid alcohol and cigarettes, and exercise. and that's all. thank you very much

5 Ways to Make Our Lungs Healthy

 In this day and age, many diseases are affecting our body, it is important to strengthen our lungs, because strong lungs are a defense to fight and defeat the virus that is affecting our body. 

Because the lungs, like other parts of the body, become weak with age. Through healthy habits that need to be practiced, the lungs will be strong.

So we have 5 ways that are important to do to make our lungs healthy.

1. the first one. Do not smoke or quit smoking.

because every time you smoke, you inhale thousands of chemicals such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, and tar that damage the lungs. Mucus builds up, causing irritation and inflammation of the lungs. the longer it takes to suffocate, the airway will narrow and a person will have difficulty breathing. The lungs also age quickly when smoking and it is also possible to cause cancer. So if the lungs are weak, it is also easy to give up if a severe virus enters..

2. the second is to exercise to strengthen the lungs.

Regular exercise is arguably the most important thing to do to keep your lungs healthy.While exercising, the heart beats faster and the lungs become more active. So more oxygen is needed for the muscles to move during exercise. Because of this, the lungs function more to supply enough oxygen while also releasing carbon dioxide..

Aerobic exercise is the best type of exercise for the lungs. It just needs to be done regularly and the lungs will definitely be strong.

Strong and healthy lungs that are the result of regular exercise are of great help to have a strong defense against illness and aging. If a lung disease hits the lungs strongly, the progression of the disease can be prevented.

3. the third is Avoid being exposed to pollutants.

Dirty air, dust, cigarette smoke, chemicals are just some of the poisons that can damage the lungs with long-term inhalation.

It is important to give yourself proper protection especially if the work is in the line of construction, mining, waste management, chemical exposure and so on.and It is important to always clean the house and sweep the dust. Use natural cleaning ingredients. Avoid chemical air fresheners. Have good ventilation in the house, so that fresh air can enter from the outside. Avoid car fumes and smoke from cigarettes.

4. another four Be careful not to get infected with the virus and avoid infections.

Always remember that your safety rests in your hands. Always wash your hands before and after handling something. Use soap to thoroughly remove dirt, germs and viruses. Apply alcohol to the hand if water is not available. Avoid touching the face because the eyes, nose and mouth are the possible entrance of the virus into the body.Drink a lot of water and always eat fruits and vegetables to strengthen the resistance and immune system.

5. and the fifth is to inhale and exhale breathing deeply.

There is shallow breathing and there is also deep breathing. It is said that breathing is shallow when breathing using only the chest area. Whereas deep breathing draws air from the stomach. Deep breathing is good for the lungs because it enables full oxygen exchange and cleans the lungs.

Deep breathing exercises can be done sitting, standing or lying down. Start by inhaling air that should only be passed through the nose. Make sure that the part of the stomach moves where the diaphragm is. While inhaling, use your mind to count slowly one, two, three, four. When exhaling, the air must be released through the mouth but do it slowly. Count one to eight while exhaling. The movement of the stomach or diaphragm is the sign that deep breathing is done correctly.

We will always remember that it is important for you to always be healthy and our lungs.

so what is the Pain of Forgetting?

Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia is a disease of the elderly that is related to being forgetful. It is the brain that is affected and has problems with this disease. So the brain gradually loses its ability to think due to the destruction or death of the "neurons" in the brain. Neurons are the carriers of messages to different parts of the body so we can think and act. When these neurons are completely damaged, all the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease will appear which are very severe. Everything is forgotten, even the control of urination and defecation.

Alzheimer's disease is not the only cause of forgetfulness. There is also too much stress, lack of sleep time, doing too many things at once, depression, the effects of certain types of medication, lack of physical activity, wrong food, drinking too much alcohol, smoking, high blood pressure, and thyroid problems.
