Indonesia has become a habit for people to eat foods that taste savory, salty and spicy. If there's foods that do not house bercitara think all, going to not make recommendations as the family's favourite restaurant. As a result, restaurants competing to meet the tastes of society. And in case you need to keep away from a hypertensive disorder, limit salt intake only 6 grams or one teaspoon per day.
"It's eating foods that taste savory and salty, salty snack-salted. Without realizing it, the every day consumption of salt they done very two-fold excess of consumption ought to be 6 grams per day," said Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health, Prof. Tjandra Yoga Aditama in a seminar on "Hypertension and Early Detection" to welcome the World Hypertension Day, in Jakarta.
According to Tjandra, based Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2007, very a quarter of Indonesia's population, or 24.5 percent over the age of ten years to consume salty foods every day, or more times. Meanwhile, the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia reached 31.7 percent of the population at age 18 years and over.
"Of that amount, 60 percent ended with hypertensive stroke. The remaining suffered heart issues, kidney failure and blindness," said Prof. Tjandra.
Therefore, Prof. Tjandra warned, hypertension ought to watch out because it is a silent danger. No signs or signs typical for early warning for people with hypertension. In addition, they continued, lots of people feel healthy and energetic despite having hypertension. ''Based on the information Riskesdas 2007, most cases of hypertension in the community has not been diagnosed, "he said.
Explained, hypertension is a circulatory technique disorder that causes increased blood pressure above normal values, ie, exceeding 140/90 mmHg. Riskesdas 2007 information refer to hypertension as the third cause of death after stroke and tuberculosis. "The numbers reached 6.8 percent of the proportion of causes of death in all age groups in Indonesia," they said.
Similar introduced by Prof. Dr. Jose Roesma SpPD KGH, professor of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine) about the dangers of salt for the health of blood vessels. Salt, sodium ions, which enter the body will be directly absorbed in to the blood vessels, so that the concentration of sodium ions in the blood will increase. Sodium ions that have the nature of water retention (retaining water), causing blood volume to be increased and it automatically causes blood pressure to rise.
"You can imagine, the blood vessel like a balloon that continues to be filled with wind, then the pressure in the balloon will become bigger and finally burst the balloon," they said.
The source of sodium which also need to look out for is derived from flavoring food (MSG). Cultural use of MSG has reached the alarming level. all housewives, food vendors, and service providers catering always use it.
According to Prof. Jose, salt consumption becomes difficult to control, if they are accustomed to eating meals outside the home (shops, restaurants, hotels, etc.). Moreover, if the sense of taste since childhood they have been accustomed to have a high threshold of salty taste, making it difficult to accept that a small fresh food.
"The use of MSG in Indonesia has been so freely, so the seller meatballs, chicken porridge, soup, etc., by arbitrarily adding them to a bowl without a clear dose," they said.
Hypertension can be prevented by setting a nice diet and physical activity. In addition to controlling stress is also important that could trigger an increase in blood pressure.
Signs of hypertension include headache, flushing, headache, bleeding from the nose of a sudden, sore neck, and others. The impact that can be caused by hypertension is kidney destroy, bleeding in the cornea (the eye's retina), rupture of blood vessels in the brain, and paralysis.
"Overweight or obesity also increase the risk of hypertension assault. Therefore, keep the weight balanced. Ought to be accompanied by regular exercise and maintain a balanced intake of nourishing food," they added.
"Early detection for those who have not been identified and medication adherence for those already affected by hypertension is the key to control hypertension,
