Free Radicals and Antioxidants ( a short explanation )

Image
In our bodies, several processes can generate free radicals, including exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, exposure to x-rays, and some reactions that occur during normal metabolic processes. Free radicals may have positive, negative, or zero charge. With some exceptions, the unpaired electrons cause radicals to be highly chemically reactive. Certain harmful substances, such as carbon tetrachloride (a solvent used in dry cleaning), also give rise to free radicals when they participate in metabolic reactions in the body. Among the many disorders, diseases, and conditions linked to oxygen-derived free radicals are cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer disease, emphysema, diabetes mellitus, cataracts, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, and deterioration associated with aging.

Hagar and Sarah

This is the story about Hagar the slavery and Sarah the freedom Galatians 4 : 21 - 28 21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise. 24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants.

The Main Reason Why Christian Celebrate Christmas

Why Christian celebrate Christmas every year aren’t they bored ? I wonder what is the main reason why Christian around the universe Celebrate Christmas. So I went to search from many people, expert, book, internet and I found this unbelievable reason that I can’t understand easily because how can a Father do such thing to his Son ! so here is the reason : From John 3 : 16 - 21 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light

  Obat kontraseptif oral dapat meningkatkan tekanan darah dan resiko  meningkat dengan lamanya penggunaan. Perempuan yang menggunakan obat oral kontraseptif harus memeriksa tekanan darah secara teratur.   Timbulnya hipertensi adalah suatu alasan untuk mempertimbangkan penggunaan kontrasepsi lainnya. Sebaliknya, terapi pengganti hormon tidak menaikkan tekanan darah. Wanita hamil dengan hipertensi harus dimonitor dengan hati-hati karena resiko ke ibu dan fetus akan meningkat. Metildopa, penyekat beta, dan vasodilator adalah obat-obat yang disukai demi keamanan fetus. ACEI dan ARB tidak boleh digunakan selama kehamilan karena berpotensi untuk cacat fetus dan harus dihindari pada perempuan yang diduga hamil atau berencana hamil. Preeklampsia timbul setelah minggu gestasi ke 20, ditandai dengan onset baru atau bertambah parahnya hipertensi, albuminuria, dan hiperurisemia, kadang-kadang dengan abnormalitas koagulasi. Pada beberapa pasien, preeklampsi dapat menjadi hipertensi urgens
