The Walk Routine Benefits

Nine benefits to be gained from walking activity.

(1) heart attack.

First of course reduce the risk of heart attack. We know that muscle
heart requires blood to flow more profusely (from coronary artery
who gave him a meal) for fit and function normally without stopping the blood pumping. To that end, the heart muscle needs blood flow
a more swift and smooth. Hurriedly walk Hustle coronary blood flow to the heart. Thus the adequacy of oxygen the heart muscle and heart muscle are met can stay awake for quite a beat.
Not only that. Flexibility of the arteries of the body of trained
contract and expand mengejangnya will be helped by the muscles around the walls of blood vessels when performing activities on foot rushed it. The end result, blood pressure tends to be lower, intercellular adhesions that can result in blood clot plugs a blood clot vessels will also be reduced.
More than that, the good cholesterol (HDL), which works as a sponge
absorbing the bad cholesterol (LDL) will increase by foot
hie. Not many ways out of a drug that can increase HDL levels in addition to moving the body. Walk hurriedly recorded can reduce the risk of heart attack to just half.

(2). Stroke.

Despite the benefits of walking hurriedly towards stroke
its influence has not been as real as against coronary heart disease, some studies have shown encouraging results. Just look at the natural evidence of our ancestors were doing more walking activities every day, old stroke cases not as much now. One study of 70 thousand nurses (Harvard School of Public Health) that the work was recorded walking activity as much as 20 hours a week decreased their risk of stroke two-thirds.

(3). Stable weight.

It turned out to familiarize walking routine, the rate of metabolism
enhanced body. In addition to a number of calories wasted by activity
walking distance, the excess calories that might exist would be burned by
increasing the body's metabolism, so weight gain is not
occur.

(4). Lose weight.

Yes, in addition to maintained stable weight, those who start
being overweight, can be derived by conducting
hurriedly walk it regularly. Excess lard in
under the skin will burn if diligent walking activities
sufficient rate of at least one hour.

(5). Preventing diabetes.

Yes, by familiarizing walking distance travel at about 6 km per hour,
travel time about 50 minutes, it could delay or prevent
of developing Type 2 diabetes, especially in those who bodied
overweight (National Institute of Diabetes and Gigesive & Kidney Diseases).
As we know that cases of diabetes that can be overcome without
need to take medication, can be done by choosing a bodybuilding routine
periodically. During the blood sugar can be controlled simply by moving
body (brisk walking), the drug is not required. That means that
hurriedly walk the same benefits with antidiabetic drugs.

(6). Preventing osteoporosis.

Yes. With exercise and walk fast, not only
body muscles strengthened, but the bones as well. For calcium metabolism, exercise also required, in addition to need exposure to sunlight in the morning. Not enough extra calcium and vitamin D alone to prevent or slow the process of osteoporosis. The body also requires body movement and takes at least 15 minutes of exposure to the sun in the morning to be free from the threat of osteoporosis. Those who exercise since he was young, and consume enough calcium, up to age 70 years predicted to be free from the threat of bone loss.

(7). Relieves arthritic knee.

Over a third of elderly people in America have arthritic knees
(Osteoarthiris). By getting used to walking fast or
choose to walk in the swimming pool, arthritic knee pain can
subsided. For those who suffer from arthritic knees, walking activities need to be done intermittently, not every day. The goal is to give opportunity to the joints to recover. One thing to remember for people with arthritic leg or foot: do not mistakenly choose the sports shoes. We know, with the pertambahnya age, joint space increasingly narrow, increasingly thin layers of joint cartilage, and fluid joint space had decreased. The condition of joints that have been like that need to be maintained and protected so as not to experience a severe shock by the load weight, especially in the obese. When the bearings (sol) less tender sneakers, shoes failed act as shock absorbers (shock absorber). That means the joints continue to experience heavy shock load during walking, especially when running or jumping. This is the worsening condition of joints, joint pain and trigger an attack or cause joint disease in those at risk of joint disorders.

The emergence of joint pain after activities as walking, can
be because the wrong type of sports shoes. Branded shoes
determine the quality cushions, in addition to the suitability of anatomy foot.

Habit of walking barefoot, even indoors
though, can worsen the condition of the joints of the leg and foot,
and shock loads that must be borne by the joints.

(8) Depression.

It turned out that moving the body with a quick walk also helps
patients with depression status. Walking distance could hie
replace antidepressants should be taken regularly. Study Happenings
free from depression by walking already done more than 10
years.

(9). Cancer can also arise if we diligently canceled on foot, at least the type of colon cancer (colorectal carcinoma).

We know, moving the body part smooth bowel peristalsis, so that
defecate more orderly. Colorectal cancer is also triggered by
fecal retention for longer in the digestive tract. Other studies also
mentions the role of a walk to the possibility of lowering the risk of breast cancer.

Can not Handle Diseases Cured

People who experience trials incurable disease that heavy really lived his life. But with palliative treatment, the patient will still have a good quality of life despite his illness could be cured.

Palliative care means to alleviate the suffering of the patient is already terminally ill and can not be cured such as cancer, patients with motor neuron disease, neurological degenerative diseases and HIV / AIDS patients. The goal for patients to undergo the days of illness by not despair.

"Patients with incurable disease that most thought had no more to be done. For that palliative care is needed," said Prof. Dr. Dr. Akmal Taher, SpU (K) in the seminar and press conference Commemorating the Day of the World Hospis and Palliative Care in Building A RSCM, Jakarta, Thursday (07/10/2010).

Palliative care is an effective method in helping patients escape from misery, either persistent pain or other complaints. These conditions will help improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Initially, palliative care is intended only for patients with cancer (except in South Africa initially for patients with HIV / AIDS). But now that palliative care can also be used for other diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD), stroke, Parkinson's, heart failure, kidney failure, genetic diseases and infections such as HIV / AIDS.

Like what is palliative care?

The point of this treatment is more of support and motivation to the patient. Then any complaints that arise are handled by the administration of drugs to relieve pain.

Palliative care can explore the individual patient and family how to give special attention to the patient, mitigation and preparedness to face death.

Palliative care focused on controlling symptoms and complaints, and not to the primary disease because of primary disease is incurable. With so patients are free from the suffering caused by complaints and can undergo end of his life in comfort.

"Palliative care is done by cooperation between doctors, nurses, therapists, social-media, psychologists, clergy, volunteers and other professionals as needed. It is intended to be free from suffering for patients, so that the high quality of life and ends with a quiet," said Prof. dr R Sunaryadi Tejawinata, SpTHT (K), FAAO, DGM, PAllMed.

Furthermore, says Prof. Sunaryadi from year 1992-2010 there is a new palliative care services in 6 major capital of Jakarta, West Java, Yogyakarta, East Java, Bali and South Sulawesi.

Palliative care is available at most government hospitals such as RS Hasan Sadikin, RSCM, SSR Dharmais, Dr Soetomo, Sanglah Bali, Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo Napier and Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta.

While Prof. Dr. IW Suardana, SpTHT (K) said the complaints are usually felt by these palliative care patients.

Complaints that arise such as pain, gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation), skin disorders (itching, dryness or from lying down too long), general weakness, impaired respiration, limb weakness, urinary tract disorders and also feel confused.

Now, with palliative care patients can be persuaded to accept the situation so that more can still live her life despite its age very soon. Since most quality of life of patients with incurable diseases will continue to deteriorate or decline if expectations of patients not in accordance with the reality.

"So the task of the palliative team is modifying the expectations of patients, so that the distance between expectations and reality become closer. Can be a way to evoke the spirit of life, future orientation, faith and even about her sexuality," said Dr Siti Annisa Nuhonni, SpKFR (K) .

Dr Nuhonni said there is always hope, but should not give false hope because hope is also to be adjusted with the results of the examination. For that family is the key to the meaning of life in palliative care.

Places to perform a variety of palliative care, such as:

1. Hospital, for patients who must receive treatment with strict supervision, special measures or special equipment meemrlukan.
2. PHC, for patients undergoing outpatient treatment.
3. Halfway house or home (hospis), for patients who do not require strict supervision, action or special equipment, but can not be treated at home because they still require supervision of health personnel.
4. Home patients, for patients who do not require strict supervision, action or special equipment, and maintenance skills can be done by family members.


In addition to reducing the symptoms that arise, palliative care also provides support in terms of spiritual and psychosocial. This treatment can be started when the diagnosis was announced until the end of life of the patient.

"Although the patient had died, palliative care does not stop there. Because palliative volunteers will also provide moral support to families who are grieving," said Prof. Sunaryadi.
