Researchers had found a benefits of a mushrooms that can destroy tumors by 75 percent. Maitake mushrooms which is usually used for cooking mixture.

This 8 inch diameter mushroom are known potent to fight against prostate cancer which kills about 15,000 people in the UK each year.

Dr. Konno try to combine Sensuke mushroom extracts with anti-cancer protein called interferon alpha. The result, three-quarters of The patients cancer cells was destroyed.

Researchers from New York Medical Center says, proteins and anti-cancer active substance in the mushrooms will activate the enzyme that controls the growth of cancer cells.

“This is an effective breakthrough for cancer treatment, because it can reduce the dose of conventional therapies and improve patient’s quality of life,” said Dr. as quoted Dailymail Konno

Dr Allison Rose from the Cancer Research Center also said that one day this fungus could be a promised anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs.

Chemicals found in cannabis leaves can be used to stop prostate cancer cells. The researchers hope that cannabis leaves can be used as a remedy for the treatment of prostate cancer.

After focusing on the network on human cancer cells,Ines Diaz-Laviada and colleagues from the University of Alcala in Madrid, also investigated the effects of the chemicals on canabis leaves on mice and the fact that the substance is capable to reduce the cancer growth significantly.

The study is published in the British Journal of Cancer. Now in the world of research, there have been many studies that examine the medical uses of cannabinoids, the chemical substance found in cannabis.

This experts focused on the research done over the years devoted to seeking the best care in dealing with cancer in humans.

“This is an interesting study that opens the way to develop a potential drug. But this is only new in the early stages, “said Lesley Walker, Director of Cancer Information, Cancer Research UK, England.

She also explained that this does not mean that the men who use cannabis can automatically avoid prostate cancer.

The cannabinoids substances are investigated by the Spanish team which is requested to conduct the research in the fight against prostate cancer. This substance can block the receptors, the entrance of molecules, which is on the tumor cell surface. It is able to stop tumor cells to break away and growing.

“These chemicals can stop the division and the development of prostate cancer cells.”

Vaccine for prostate cancer was proved safe and effective to use after passing several tests.

Based on research, this vaccine could give hope to people that suffering from metastatic prostate cancer because it can activate the immune system to that could fight the disease. This vaccine was developed in order to activate the immune system to produce anti-antigens and attack cancer cells that could sustain a longer life for the patients.

“The main objectivity of this study was to determine whether the vaccine is safe or will even worsen prostate cancer. It is a very safe vaccine,” said research team leader who is also Director of Urology at the University of Iowa David Lubaroff.

He also said that investigators still observe if the vaccine could result in immune system response to prostate specific antigen (PSA).”We found that 68-70% of patients tested with the vaccine showed a PSA response. We are very pleased that we can detect immune system response in these patients.”

The early stage  of the results from this vaccine trials will be presented at the annual meeting of American Urological Association in Florida, USA.

In this study, approximately 32 people who develop metastatic prostate cancer given PSA vaccine. All of them are given varies doses of vaccine  and has been observed for 12 months.

A total of 57% of them survive longer. In fact 48% of them can survive two times longer than previous predictions. From the results of this vaccine trial, the longest patients can survive are up to six years.

From these three results, David Lubaroff study team will begin the second phase of the  research in the near future.
Meanwhile, Professor and Expert Urology Vanderbilt University Bruce Roth still not sure if the vaccine would be a vaccine that can be used continuously. “I think what can be proved from this study is the safety of the vaccine. But it is very different when we talk about the efficiency of this vaccine,” he said.

However, Bruce Roth thought that the early stages of the test results of this PSA vaccine is a good sign.

“I think this discovery is a breakthrough after waiting for about 35 years. This theory is very good compared to the last few decades because of various therapeutic vaccines that sounds great does not match the results we expected,” he added

If you ask what foods can prevent breast cancer risk, walnut is the answer. The researchers from the Marshall University School of Medicine was tried to figure out what ingredients are in the walnuts.

Walnuts are not too popular than many other foods touted as anti-cancer foods such as soybeans, tomatoes and others. But studies show that walnut consumption on a regular basis can reduce the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase healthy cholesterol (HDL) in the body.

Not only those, walnuts are also very well known to prevent and slow the progression of breast cancer. Walnuts are unique compared to other nuts because walnut is the only bean containing alpha-linolenic acid, one type of omega-3 fatty acid that contains the most.

The other Source of  alpha-linolenic soybeans is, flaxseed, fish and some green vegetables, but only slightly and it implies nothing more than walnuts.

In the study, researchers wanted to know the effect of walnut consumption on the development of breast cancer in rats. Components contained in the walnut such as phytosterols, polyphenols, carotenoids, melatonin and omega-3 fatty acids are bioactive components that can inhibit cancer formation of MDA-MB 231 or breast cancer.

To determine its effectiveness, tumor cells were injected in two groups of mice as a precursor of breast cancer. One group was fed the walnuts and the other group did not. After 10 days, tumor cells found in mice not given the growing walnuts, unlike mice that ate walnuts which was experiencing shrinking tumor cells.

From there, researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology know that walnuts can indeed slows the growth of cancer cells, especially breast cancer. Researchers also found the content of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) in the liver of mice who ate walnuts is higher than the other mice.

Prostate cancer, for men is as scary with breast cancer for women. Although prostate cancer is often not fatal, it can damage the quality of life, the prostate often cause sexual dysfunction (impotence) and Incontinence urine (wet).

Both side effects were clearly a heavy blow to him. Diagnosis of prostate cancer is like coming of the Hour. In fact, preventive measures for this disease, actually is not too difficult.

A good diet or a diet may reduce prostate cancer risk by 50 percent. John Hibbs said naturopathic physician experts from Bastyr University, Seattle, Washington, United States.

Preventing is always better than cure. Preventive measures that will be very profitable if run by those who are at increased risk of prostate cancer.

Who are these high-risk groups?
- Men aged 50 years and over.
- Having a history of prostate cancer in the family (father or brother had prostate cancer).
- African-American race (this still needs detailed study, but the race is expected riskier than whites).

John Hibbs Offered a way to prevent it, namely diet, obviously very natural and easy to do. The men just need to discipline ourselves to live it. Steps include cutting the consumption of fat, more fruits and vegetables, and so on, such as falling below.

Adding fish intake and omega 3
Omega 3, a very friendly nutrients to the heart seems to help prevent prostate cancer. Research Laboratory demonstrates the power of omega 3 in stop the development of tumor cells of the prostate.

When Harvard University researchers tested 48,000 U.S. men for 12 years, men who ate fish more than 3 times per week, 44 percent less prostate cancer than those who ate fish less than twice a month.

Omega-3 fatty acids found in cold water fish such as salmon, mackerel, trout, and mussels. You can also fish oil supplements.

Reduce meat and dairy
If you want to avoid prostate cancer, stay away from fatty foods such as meat and milk. Many studies suggested, foods high in saturated fat increases the risk of prostate cancer up to two or three times as much.

Japanese men are still adhered to the traditional diet, which is a lot of eating fish rather than junk food, have a risk which is much less to get prostate cancer than American men.

Why  meat and milk are considered dangerous? According to Hibbs, saturated fat contained in them can stimulate inflammation, which in turn supports the growth of tumors. When you accumulate in animal fat in the body, it was tantamount to cutting the levels of cancer-preventing antioxidants.

Try to replace red meat with fish or skinless poultry meat. Forget the full-fat milk, and milk exchange with low or no fat.

Choose soy
Women are often advised to eat soy to strengthen bones and other healthful benefits. Based on the latest research, men are also advised to eat more soy.

Researchers have studied the health of 12,000 people for about 20 years. Men who drank soy milk more than once per day, the risk for prostate cancer are 70 percent less  than a men who did not drink it.

Therefore, should the men started drinking soy milk diligently .You  can also change the mix of milk for cereal or coffee, with soy milk.

Expand vegetables
In 2000, researchers from the University of Hawaii examine diet of 3237 men. Half suffered from prostate and half did not. The survey proved, the men who were cancer-free eat more vegetables and legumes. A recent study in Canada showed the same results. So, if you want to be free of prostate cancer, eat at least five servings of vegetables a day.

Complete with Tomatoes
Vegetables that contain substances most prostate prevention is tomato. Tomatoes contain lycopene, a carotenoid family that are antioxidants.
The scientists from Yale University have analyzed blood samples from 473 men, both prostate cancer, or who do not. They found that men who have prostate cancer-free more lycopene in their blood than those who are sick.

The best of lycopene found in cooked tomatoes. Cooking tomatoes not only maximize the function of lycopene, but also adds flavor to the tomato itself. Now lycopene can be obtained in supplement form, but the best course of natural fresh ingredients.

“Tomatoes contain more carotenoids, except lycopene, and all that important,” said Dr. William Dahut of the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Consumption of tomatoes at least 3 a week to prevent prostate cancer.

Selenium
Selenium into the belle of cancer prevention in 1996 when a study showed an unexpected result. Researchers from the University of Arizona provides supplemental selenium to skin cancer patients every day, hoping to prevent a recurrence. This did not give many benefits.

However, after six years of results showed that administration of selenium  can actually reduce the growth of prostate cancer. These results are corroborated by several other studies.
Selenium is found in plant foods such as garlic. To meet the need, you can also take supplements of selenium 200 meg per day.

Consumption of vitamin E
Finnish researchers found that vitamin E may reduce the risk of prostate cancer up to 32 percent. The problem is difficult to get vitamin E intake of adequate daily food. Vegetable oils rich in vitamins, but the process can change the levels of processing. Peanuts, beans, and green vegetables also contain this vitamin. So that the body needs adequate, you can get vitamin E from supplements with a dose of 400 IU per day

Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer in men. From them, 45 is recommended for regular screening. But this is not very useful palpation, said the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg. “With this study only superficial tumors can be detected, which have already reached a certain size, which often means that the disease no longer is in an early stage.” The accuracy of the study was low.

For several years, doctors do know that prostate cancer increases the concentration of prostate-specific antibody (PSA) in blood. Would it not make sense to regularly for all older men to determine the PSA level in the blood?

So far there is no scientific evidence of a benefit of such screening. Two studies in Europe and the U.S. should answer this question. However, they come to different conclusions, reported that New England Journal of Medicine.

In the American study, nearly 77,000 men from 55 to 74 years were divided into two groups. One was an annual PSA screening offered in addition to palpation, 85 percent of the subjects made use of it. The other served as a control group. However, it was at 52 percent of them nevertheless reviewed the PSA value, since the trial in the U.S. is already standard. After seven years there was no significant difference in prostate cancer death rates in both groups, note the study authors.

In the European study data were analyzed by some 160,000 men 55 to 69 years from seven countries. Nearly half of them were offered a regular PSA blood test. In this screening group did 82 percent of the subjects at least once use of the trial.

The doctors registered in the entire group of fifth fewer deaths from prostate cancer than in the control group. , Prostate cancer screening can reduce deaths by 20 percent, “then announced to the European Society Urologists (EAU).

However, the study authors themselves point out that PSA testing led to their subjects too many abortions and have over diagnosis. Thus undergone more than three quarters of the men, which was measured by an elevated PSA level, unnecessarily tissue examination. Were also detected in a screening numerous little aggressive cancer that would probably never become a problem. Nearly one third of prostate cancer, according to information from the European Urologengesellschaft such indolent tumor. These cancers do not need to be treated.

The physician Michael Barry of Harvard University in Boston, commented in the New England Journal of Medicine, that the diagnosis was prostate cancer in the screening group with 820 cases per 10,000 subjects were almost twice as frequently as in the control group. As a result, it was 277 out of 10,000 men in the screening group, the prostate was removed completely in the control group at 100, Barry estimated. Radiotherapy with or without additional hormones had received about 220 out of 10,000 men in the screening group in the control group only 123.

Waste handling

“On one hand, which will save you extra life, 39, made redundant you treat,” said the Hamburg medical physicist Hans Hermann Dubber. He is known for critical statistical analysis of medical studies.

Because prostate cancer is a rare kind of death, it comes in spite of the large number of study participants to compare very small numbers of cases, Dubber writes in the Lancet Oncology. This resulted in a large statistical uncertainty. Thus, although the doctors registered a 20 percent lower prostate cancer mortality in the screening group. Because of statistical fluctuation, the difference could, however, somewhere between two and 35 percent.

“Both works are much too small for her question, and is by far,” he says. He also sees another major problem: With the usual screening trials should a potential benefit in a particular disease are documented, so as to reduce the mortality from prostate, the PSA screening. For statistical reasons, whether it is not possible to observe unknown side effects, because they were lost in the large number of total deaths.

Given the methodological difficulties, he concludes that the benefit or harm a prostate cancer screening are determined not realistic in the context of studies. Hans Hermann Dubber should “treat the sick, not healthy.”

Also, some scientists at the DKFZ criticize a prostate cancer screening. Set jointly with the University of Bremen and the general health fund (AOK) on the Internet a test available to serve any particular individual as a decision.

Benefits of green tea have long known efficacious to prevent unwanted diseases. By drinking five cups of green tea a day, even prostate cancer can be passed.

The team of researchers from Japan’s Ministry of Health has surveyed 49,920 men aged 40-69 over a period of 11-14 years.

The result, the risk of developing prostate cancer 50 percent lower for men who drank five cups of green tea or more a day, than men who drank less than a cup of green tea.

“The substance catechin in green tea reduce the risk of contributing to the curb to be testosterone level risk factors of prostate cancer,” say the research team in a written statement the National Cancer Center as reported by AFP.
Prostate cancer incidence is lower in Asia than western countries. Assumption of the researchers, is related to high consumption of green tea in Asian societies.

Despite bitter taste, of course there’s no harm in drinking green tea nan efficacious. Sluurrpp … Bye-bye prostate cancer!

Food may be a source of disease and medicine. Especially for the men, if you want to stay away from the risk of prostate cancer, should multiply the consumption of 4 types of these foods.

Prostate cancer is cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. This occurs when prostate cells mutate and begin to grow out of control.

These cells may spread from the prostate metastasis to other body parts, especially bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty urinating, erectile dysfunction and other symptoms.

The number of prostate cancer vary widely in the world but rare in East and South Asia. Often occurs in Europe and the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is rare in most Asian men and most often occurs in black people and the European center.

Knowing what is good food and not for health is the key to fighting this disease. Moreover, most of cancer caused by the wrong diet. Quoted from AskMen, Friday (2/10/2009) 4 following the best diet in preventing prostate cancer.

1. Tomatoes
Cancer-preventing foods are foods that contain antioxidants, and one of them is a lot of tomatoes contain lycopene. Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment that gives groups red in tomatoes, and also have antioxidant effects. A study in 2007 stated that tomatoes can increase the flow of blood vessels in the male reproductive and reduce the risk of prostate cancer. So, do not forget to include tomatoes in your daily menu.

2. Broccoli
Sulforaphane content of the active compound in broccoli that is able to prevent the formation of cells that are not controlled (cancer) in the prostate gland of men. According to the researchers, the compound Sulforaphane is the best they have ever found in the fight and kill cancer cells, including prostate cancer. Eat raw or not cooked to the active substance content is not much missing.

3. Soybean
Soybeans have long been known as a food that has high antioxidant. Content of antioxidants in soy is genistein, daidzein and glycitein who all belong to a group called isoflavones. All food derived from soybeans is very healthy. Soy milk, tofu, tempe and other soy foods can fight the cells that may turn into cancer. From now on, multiply the consumption of soy instead of meat.

4. Flax (Flax)
Ramie (Boehmeria Nivea) is a common plant used to make cloth, linen i.e. This plant is rich in omega 3 and lignans which are antioxidant compounds as well. Unfortunately only a few studies that examine the advantages of this plant, whereas the content of lignans in plants there is a lot of this is also an antioxidant. Hemp can be found in the starchy and grains such as cereals.

Although all those  foods are  referred to as anti-prostate cancer foods, but in general can also prevent other cancers such as breast cancer, pancreas, liver and others. Do not forget to eat these foods if you want to stay healthy.

DEFINITIONS
Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the prostate gland.

Prostate cancer is very common. Microscopic examination of prostate tissue after surgery and at autopsy showed the cancer in 50% of men aged over 70 years and in all men aged over 90 years.
Most of these cancers do not cause symptoms because of its spread is very slow.

CAUSE
The cause is unknown, although several studies have shown an association between high fat diets and increased levels of the hormone testosterone.

Prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men No. 3 and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men over 74 years.
Prostate cancer is rare in men aged less than 40 years.

Men who have a higher risk for prostate cancer is a black man aged over 60 years, farmers, painters and cadmium exposure.
The lowest incidence was found in Japanese men and vegetarians.

• Prostate cancer grouped into: Stage A: lump / tumor not palpable on physical examination, usually discovered by accident after prostate surgery for other diseases.

• Stage B: tumor confined to the prostate and usually found on physical examination or PSA test.

• Stage C: tumor has spread outside the prostate capsule, but not to spread to the lymph nodes.

• Stage D: Cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes or other body parts (eg. bones and lungs).

SYMPTOMS
Prostate cancer usually develops slowly and does not cause symptoms until the cancer has reached an advanced stage.

Sometimes the symptoms resemble BPH, which is a difficulty in urination and frequent urination.
Symptoms are caused by cancer causing partial blockage of urine flow through the urethra.

Prostate cancer can cause red urine (because it contains blood) or cause the occurrence of sudden urine detention.

In some cases, newly diagnosed after prostate cancer spread to the bone (especially the pelvic bones, ribs and spine) or to the kidneys (causing kidney failure).
Painful bone cancer and brittle bones that easily fracture (broken bone).

When cancer spreads, the patient will usually anemic.
Prostate cancer can also spread to the brain and cause seizures and neurological symptoms of mental or other.

Other symptoms are:

• Immediately after urination, the urine is usually still dripping

• Pain when voiding

• Pain when ejaculating

• Lower back pain

• Pain when defecating

• Nocturia (urination at night)

• Incontinence uri (beser)

• Bone pain or bone pain when pressed

• Haematuria (blood in urine)

• Abdominal pain

• Losing weight.

DIAGNOSIS
The best way to prostate cancer screening is to plug rectal examination and blood tests.
Anal plug in prostate cancer patients would indicate a hard lump that does not irregular shape.
Blood tests performed on the measurement of levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), which usually increases in prostate cancer patients, but also can increase (not too high) in BPH patients.

If the plug rectal examination found a lump, then performed an ultrasound examination.
With X-rays or bone scanning, can be known of the spread of cancer to the bone.

Check the usual options:

• urine analysis

• Cytology urine or prostatic fluid

• Prostate biopsy.

TREATMENT
Appropriate treatment for prostate cancer is still debated.

• Options treatments vary, depending on the stage: In the early stages can be used prostatectomy (removal of prostate) and radiation therapy

• If the cancer has spread, hormonal manipulation can be done (to reduce testosterone levels through medication or removal of the testes) or chemotherapy.

surgery

1. Radical prostatectomy (removal of prostate gland).

Often performed on stage cancer A and B.
Long procedure and is usually performed under general anesthesia or spinal.
An incision is made in the abdomen or perineal area and the patient should receive hospital treatment for 5-7 days.
Complications that may occur is uri impotensia and incontinence.
In patients who are still active sexual life, can be Potency-sparing radical Prostatectomy.

2. Orkiektomi (removal of the testes, castration).

Appointment of two testes causes decreased levels of testosterone, but this procedure led to physical and psychological effects that can not be tolerated by the patient.
Orkiektomi is an effective treatment, does not require repeated treatment, is cheaper than drugs and patients after undergoing orkiektomi not have to undergo hospital treatment.
Orkiektomi usually done on cancer has spread.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy used primarily to treat cancer A, B and C.
Usually if the risk of surgery is too high, then do radiation therapy.

Radiation therapy to the prostate gland can be done through several ways:

1. External radiation therapy, performed in a hospital without having to undergo hospitalization.
The side effects of decreased appetite, fatigue, skin reactions (such as redness and irritation), injury or burns to the rectum, diarrhea, cystitis (bladder infection) and haematuria.
External radiation therapy is usually performed 5 times / week for 6-8 weeks.

2. Transplant grain iodine, or iridium radioactive gold directly on the prostate tissue through small incisions.
The advantage of this form of radiation therapy is that radiation is directed directly to the prostate with the surrounding tissue damage less.

Drugs

1. Hormonal manipulation.
The aim is to reduce testosterone levels.
Decrease in testosterone levels are often very effective in preventing the growth and spread of cancer.
Hormonal manipulation is mainly used to relieve symptoms without a cure the cancer, ie for example in cancer patients has spread.

Synthetic drug whose function resembles LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone), the more widely used to treat advanced stage prostate cancer. Examples are lupron or zoladeks.
These drugs suppress the formation of stimulating the testes to testosterone (this is called chemical castration because it has the same result with the appointment of the testes).
Drugs given in the form of injections, usually every 3 months.
The side effects are nausea and vomiting, flushed face, anemia, osteoporosis and impotence.

Other drugs used for hormonal therapy is androgen inhibitor (eg flutamid), which works to prevent testosterone stuck in prostate cells.
Side effects are impotence, liver problems, diarrhea, and gynecomastia (breast enlargement).

2. Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is often used to treat the symptoms of prostate cancer resistant to hormonal treatment.
Usually given a single drug or a combination of several drugs to destroy cancer cells.

Drugs that can be used to treat prostate cancer are:
- Mitoxantronx
- Prednisone
- Paclitaxel
- Dosetaxel
- Estramustin
- Adriamycin.
The side effects vary and depend on the drugs given.

Monitoring

Whatever type of treatment she lived, the patient will be monitored closely on the development of the disease.
Monitoring include:

• Blood tests to determine levels of PSA (usually every 3 months – 1 year).

• Scaning and / or CT scan to determine the spread of bone cancer.

• Complete blood examination to monitor the signs and symptoms of anemia.

• Monitoring other signs and symptoms that indicate progression of the disease (such as fatigue, weight loss, the more intense pain, decreased bowel function and bladder and weaknesses).

ood news for people who like to drink coffee, tea and wine. Health experts say that the drink can prevent urinary tract infections. While the apple juice is not good for urine.

Lucky also for men, because the prostate gland located at the genitals is a stronghold of the entry of bacteria in the urinary tract.

This was stated by Dr. dr. Parlindungan Siregar SpPD.KGH, in the seminar ‘Beware of Dehydration Effect On Health at Hotel Akmani, Jakarta, Thursday (22/10/2009).

“Coffee, wine, tea, and drink tea or citrus juice can increase the excretion of (expenditure) urine. And the high excretion may prevent urinary tract infections,” said Parlindungan.

According to him, the coffee can prevent and reduce bladder stones as much as 10 percent, 14 percent of tea and wine 39 per cent.

Parlindungan explained, when the excretion increases, osmotic regulation in the body also will increase. The hormone ADH (Anti Diuretics) and will decrease and make the volume of urine increased.

“When the volume of urine increases, the ability of a urinary tract antibacterial increased, and bladder stone disease can be prevented,” he explained.

Described, good urine is yellow, almost translucent white, pH neutral and odorless. Should within 24 hours, urine in the body out as much as 2 liters.

“So, to remove as much urine, the body should drink more water than 2 liters,” said Parlindungan.

In addition to coffee, tea or wine, other beverages, according Parlindungan to prevent urinary tract infections is beer.

“Drinking beer is good, but there are contradictions, namely increased uric acid,” explained a specialist in internal medicine at the RSCM.

There is a good drink, there should also be avoided. According to studies conducted Parlindungan, apple juice was not good for urine.
“Although the apple has a good vitamin, but it could increase the risk of stone up to 35 percent,” explained Parlindungan.
Another fact revealed Parlindungan is about the risk of kidney stones among men and women, who were more experienced women.

“The channel length of the urethra more men than women. Men also have a prostate gland, which was able to excrete an antibiotic to fight bacterial infections. The two differences that make men less urinary tract infections. Fortunately for a man,” explained Parlindungan.

Urinary tract infections can make kidney function decreases, pain when urinating as well as kidney stones.

“If women have no symptoms of illness after urinating, have to be examined. And if he’s also experienced, careful could be a sign of prostate cancer,” he said.

For that, get used to drinking 2-3 liters of water a day, or about 8-10 glasses (glass size 250 ml) each day can reduce the risk of bladder tract infections.

“But for older people is the opposite yes. Do not be too often drinking water, enough just 1.5 liters a day,” said Parlindungan.

Excess water in the elderly were able to make sodium in the body decreases and experiencing symptoms called Hiponatrium. When sodium is reduced, the body becomes limp and sleepy.

“Usually when people sleepy or weak, especially parents, easy to stumble and break bones can result,” he explained.
