Selamat Tinggal

Salam,

Pada Sabtu lepas 1.7.2017 , pukul tiga setengah pagi waktu Ankara,  kami menerima whatsapp yang memberitahu Mak Cik Wan telah meninggal dunia di Hospital Serdang. Terkedu seketika. Seakan tidak percaya kerana baru saja melihat gambar-gambar yang dihantar Nina semasa perkahwinan anak sulongnya bulan Mei lepas. Benarlah..ajal kita hanya Dia yang tahu.

Keesokkannya menerima berita kematian Pak Uda Hassan Benom pula. Allahu. Satu persatu pergi meninggalkan kami. Terasa benar giliran kami semakin hampir. Pada bulan lepas juga pemergian secara mengejut PDJTB. Penyebab kematian ialah terkena serangan angin ahmar ketika menunggu solat Jumaat. Sesungguhnya itu hanyalah penyebab tetapi umur hayatnya telah ditetapkan olehNya. Aku bila, dimana dan bagaimana? berserah dan bersedia ajelah.

Jika aku fikirkan banyak juga kenangan aku bersama arwah Mak Cik Wan. Walaupun kami tidak rapat dan jarang berjumpa tetapi sesekali jumpa banyak juga cerita yang dikongsi, kami boleh gi..bila berjumpa , mungkin sebab kami sama-sama orang luar yang masuk dalam keluarga Tok Wok.
Sebagai jururawat senior banyak pengalaman yang diceritakan oleh Mak Cik Wan terutama ketika beliau bertugas di wad Diraja. Banyak juga nasihat yang beliau berikan kepada aku dalam menempuh alam perkahwinan ini terutama berkaitan dengan suami aku yang kawan sekeliling pinggang. Usikan beliau yang paling aku ingat ketika kenduri dikampung, aku masih lagi belum mengandung setelah hampir setahun berkahwin. Dengan kuat Mak Cik Wan memberitahu emak-emak sedara yang ada disitu, "...eh mari kita ajor budak berdua ni...entah pandai ketidak diaorang berdua ni..." aku pun tanpa segan silu menjawab, " alaaa..saya tak mau mabuk sorang2, bila seronok2 berdua, bila sakit pening sorang2 "..semua ketawa berderai mendengar jawapan aku. Aku dan suami duduk berjauhan, sorang di KL sorang di selatan. Memang betullah..aku dah bagitau suami yang aku tidak mahu mengandung jika masih duduk berasingan, jika sudah dapat bertukar dan tinggal bersama, baru boleh pikir hendak menambah ahli keluarga.

Semuanya telah menjadi kenangan.

Superbug

Satu Kes Superbug Dikesan Di Malaysia
GUA MUSANG: Satu kes "superbug", bakteria kebal kepada hampir semua antibiotik dikesan bulan lepas di Malaysia, kata Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

Liow berkata bagaimanapun pesakit itu telah sembuh sepenuhnya dan tidak berbahaya kepada orang luar, namun kementeriannya sentiasa mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga bagi memastikan kes ini tidak merebak.

"Pesakit itu seorang pesakit perempuan dan telah dirawat di Hospital Ampang...beliau sudah keluar tetapi masih berterusan menerima rawatan.

"Tetapi beliau mempunyai sakit lain, leukemia...superbug tidak menimbulkan ancaman bahaya kepada pesakit tertentu ini...kerana bakteria ini hanya colonize iaitu pembawa dan dia bukan mendatangkan kesan kepada tubuh, bakteria itu hanya hidup dalam tubuh pesakit itu," katanya kepada pemberita semasa proses penamaan calon Pilihan Raya Kecil DUN Galas di Pejabat Tanah dan Jajahan Gua Musang di sini hari ini.

Beliau berkata, antara sebab berlakunya superbug ini adalah disebabkan pengambilan antibiotik berlebihan.

Kementerian Kesihatan telah memberi arahan kepada para doktor supaya mengikut prosedur ditetapkan dalam pemberian antibiotik dan tidak memberi dengan sewenang-wenangnya.

Kejadian jangkitan bakteria superbug mula dikesan pada 2008, dan direkodkan di seluruh dunia termasuk India, Pakistan dan United Kingdom. - BERNAMA

Salam,

Saya nak kongsi apa yang baru dibaca. Guna bahasa asal supaya mudah difahami oleh semua. Diambil daripada buku bertajuk Massage by Vivienne Simberg.

Petikan:

Affirmations are conscious thoughts that help you direct your life as you choose.
Repeating them aloud will help you to strenghten your intention and achieve your goal.
Make up an affirmation of your own that applies to your daily life.
Here some ideas:
1. Just for today I will not be angry.
2. Just for today I will not worry.
3. I can be what I will to be, what I choose to be.
4. I am happy,loving,healthy,wealthy and whole.
5. I am always in control of my ow mind and body functioning.
6. I will always act and react in a positive manner to any given situation.

Affirmation to help you to help yourself recover from ill health:
Every molecule, every cell,every tissue of my body consta akalntly renews itself in perfect health.
I am perfection personified.

Bagi sesiapa yang nak ikut, ikutlah. Tidak ada salahnya. Tapi sebenarnya dalam Islam dah diajar perkara-perkara ini, cuma tidak dikomersialkan aje.
Islam mengalakkan kita mengamalkan zikir harian sebagai makanan dan kekuatan jiwa.

Fivefold increase in kidney patients over a decade
07-01-2008 06:53:17 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: The number of kidney patients undergoing dialysis in Malaysia has increased five fold over the past decade, Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said today.
He said as at 2006, there were about 14,647 kidney patients undergoing dialysis compared to only 2,922 patients a decade ago.
"Currently there are about 118 new cases of kidney failure or endstage kidney disease per million population per year. This means that for the Malaysian population of 26 million, there are about 3,000 new cases a year," he said when launching the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Mobile Health Screening Unit, here today.
Dr Mohd Ismail said 57 per cent of new dialysis patients were found to be diabetic while another six per cent developed endstage kidney failure due to hypertension."Unfortunately there is an increasing trend of diabetes and hypertension as a cause of kidney failure," he said, adding that this was extremely worrying as these were lifestyle diseases that could be controlled or even prevented.
Earlier, the Chairman of the NKF Management Board, Dr S.S. Gill said the mobile clinic was in the form of a bus that could accommodate 40 people offering medical checks for a fee of only RM2.
He said the checks were aimed at detecting diseases suffered at the early stage, especially kidney problems so that immediate measures could be taken to treat them.Initially, the mobile clinic would provide services to the public within the Klang Valley before expanding to other areas, he said.

Apa dah jadi ni??

1 juta wanita gemuk, 850,000 lelaki gempal
12-12-2007 03:10:01 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Bilangan wanita gemuk mengatasi lelaki boyot dalam kalangan penduduk negara ini yang berumur 25 hingga 64 tahun, Dewan Rakyat diberitahu hari ini.
Setiausaha Parlimen Kementerian Kesihatan Datuk Lee Kah Choo berkata Kajian Faktor Risiko Penyakit Kronik yang dijalankan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan tahun lepas menunjukkan terdapat satu juta wanita gemuk berbanding 850,000 lelaki gempal.
"Dalam erti kata lain terdapat 19 wanita gemuk bagi setiap 100 wanita berbanding 14 lelaki gemuk bagi setiap 100 orang lelaki dalam kumpulan umur yang sama," katanya menjawab soalan Datuk Dr Rahman Ismail (BN-Gombak).
Lee berkata kajian itu mendapati 5.8 juta penduduk Malaysia berumur antara 25 dan 64 tahun mengalami masalah berat badan berlebihan dan kegemukan.
"Kegemukan meningkatkan risiko seseorang itu mendapat penyakit kronik seperti jantung, diabetes, strok dan kanser," katanya.
Lee berkata antara faktor yang menyebabkan kegemukan adalah keturunan, gaya hidup dan pemakanan.
Beliau berkata bahawa bagi mengawal masalah itu, kementerian melaksanakan langkah pencegahan jangka panjang antaranya dengan menganjurkan kempen cara hidup sihat, menjalankan pengesanan awal kegemukan di klinik kesihatan dan hospital, melaksanakan program pengurusan berat badan dan menganjurkan kem kesihatan.

What’s fat got to do with it?
27-11-2007 10:34:36 AM
By MARY SCHNEIDER

I HATE to keep going on about weight, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult not to. Everywhere I look there are stories about people whose weight has ballooned; stories about people successfully losing weight; and stories about successful slimmers putting their lost weight (and some more) back on again as soon as they resume their old eating habits.
Just in case you’ve been living in a cave since mankind began expanding horizontally, it’s a well-documented fact that stuffing your face with junk food while adhering to an exercise regimen that involves nothing more than multiple presses on your TV’s remote control can lead to obesity. Other than the host of life-threatening illnesses and diseases that are associated with such a condition, obese people must now come to terms with the sad realisation that New Zealand doesn’t want them.
Seemingly, you can go to New Zealand on a holiday and spend all your hard-earned cash on trips to sheep farms and visits to the region where the Lord of the Rings movies were shot, but you might not be able to emigrate there if you are obese.
New Zealand has decided that it won’t accept severely obese applicants into its immigration programme because the country is already suffering from the consequences of having a hugely overweight population. As the number of overweight New Zealanders (more than half the adult population and nearly one-third of all children) rises, the health problems associated with obesity impose an ever-increasing burden on the country’s healthcare system.
One person who felt the full weight of this fatist policy is Briton Richie Trezise, who had his initial application to emigrate to New Zealand rejected on the grounds that he had a body mass index (BMI) of 42 (anything over 25 is considered overweight). Trezise managed to lose two inches off his waistline in order to be accepted, but his overweight wife hasn’t been able to shed the pounds so easily. She now sits home alone in Britain, unable to join her husband until she has a more svelte figure.
With its declining population, New Zealand will soon be populated by nothing but sheep if it insists on turning away prospective residents based on their weight.
If it helps to put things into perspective, Australia also takes into consideration the waistlines of its potential residents. But in the country’s defence, I have to say its emigration policy isn’t as one-sided as the one enforced by New Zealand. Last year, a British woman was refused Australian citizenship because she wasn’t heavy enough. It seems that people who are thinner than average are deemed to be anorexic and, therefore, a liability because of the associated mental health problems.
So the Australian government quickly weeds out the overweight and the thin but has no qualms about granting citizenship to drinkers, TV addicts, workaholics, control freaks, mat rempit and the majority of politicians fleeing from a disgruntled populace back home.
Still, Trezise can’t complain too much. He only has to look at some of the fatist policies in place in Britain to realise that the overweight are being discriminated against on his home turf.
A few months back, a Briton was told she was too fat to adopt – and she was an ex-nanny. It would appear that fat people are incapable of being good parents, simply because they are not agile enough to meet the demands of a normal, energetic child. So instead of being nurtured in a loving home environment, a child languishes in some adoption holding house, waiting for a slimmer, more energised woman to come along.
What happens if a slim person adopts a child but later gains weight? And should fat people have their natural children taken away from them? And what about anorexics, smokers, drinkers, TV addicts, workaholics, control freaks, et al? Should they be allowed to take care of children?
I know some overweight people who are just marvellous parents. I’ve also met many women of normal weight who should never have been given a womb in the first place; they have inflicted so much damage on their children.
If things continue as they are, the majority of people in countries like New Zealand and Britain will soon be considered unfit to parent a child. Still, I guess they could always adopt a sheep

Sayangi Diri Kita Sendiri

Jaga berat badan, aduhai orang Malaysia!11-05-2007 03:19:09 PM Oleh JESWAN KAUR
KUALA LUMPUR: Warga Malaysia seharusnya berasa bimbang, jika tidak berasa malu, dengan rintihan Menteri Kesihatan Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek yang kerajaan tidak boleh menjaga kesihatan setiap orang.
Warga Malaysia sendiri perlu menjaga kesihatan masing-masing dan kata kunci di sini ialah disiplin diri. Malangnya ini bukan satu sifat peribadi yang boleh dibanggakan oleh rakyat Malaysia.
Keluhan Dr Chua adalah susulan kepada laporan yang menunjukkan Malaysia sebagai negara dengan bilangan terbesar golongan obes di rantau Asia, iaitu 25 peratus daripada penduduknya.
Bukan setakat itu sahaja bilangan mereka yang gemuk di Malaysia melampaui bilangan di Jerman dan Perancis. Selain itu bilangan mereka yang obes telah berganda sejak 10 tahun yang lepas.
Adakah ia satu kes Malaysia Boleh? Ya, tetapi bagi tujuan yang bermanfaat.
Menurut Dr Chua, jika rakyat Malaysia tidak membetulkan tabiat makan tanpa had mereka, negara akan menghadapi "epidemik" penyakit-penyakit yang berkaitan dengan berat badan dalam dekad akan datang.
Daripada penduduk seramai 26 juta orang, enam juta warga dewasa mempunyai berat badan berlebihan dan dianggap sebagai obes. Dan tahap obesiti di kalangan warga dewasa meningkat tiga kali ganda dalam tempoh kurang daripada 10 tahun, meningkat daripada 4.4 peratus pada 1996 hingga 12.2 peratus pada 2003.
Sebab untuk bimbang Satu tinjauan yang dijalankan oleh penyelidik pasaran TNS Asiapanel pada tahun lepas mendedahkan yang 38 peratus daripada suri rumah Malaysia mengalami berat badan berlebihan, yang tertinggi di kalangan lima negara Asia termasuk Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam dan Korea Selatan.
Menangani obesiti merupakan keutamaan kerana jika ia dibiarkan tanpa terkawal ia boleh membawa kepada penyakit-penyakit kronik yang lain seperti diabetes, strok, sakit jantung, kegagalan buah pinggang dan pundi hempedu.
Diabetes, strok dan penyakit-penyakit gaya hidup lain lebih baik dicegah kerana mahal untuk merawatnya. Menurut Dr Chua, lebih satu juta warga Malaysia menghidap diabetes sementara bilangan pesakit yang dimasukkan ke wad-wad hospital kerajaan oleh kerana komplikasi diabetes telah meningkat 100 peratus daripada 21,872 orang pada 1995 kepada 41,375 orang pada 2005.
Kementerian juga memberi amaran yang berjuta-juta rakyat Malaysia di bawah umur 40 boleh mengalami penyakit-penyakit kronik dan strok, khasnya kerana amalan pemakanan tidak sihat, tabiat merokok dan gaya hidup yang mengehadkan pergerakan mereka.
Lebih kurang 2.3 juta perokok dan 8.4 juta orang yang mengelakkan senaman menghadapi risiko segera daripada diabetes, darah tinggi, strok dan penyakit jantung.
Terdapat lebih banyak lagi statistik -- lebih daripada 10,000 warga Malaysia meninggal dunia setiap tahun kerana sakit jantung dan kegagalan buah pinggang. Tiga juta mengalami kolesterol tinggi sementara 2.1 juta lagi menghidap diabetes. Dan setiap hari, 110 warga Malaysia diserang strok, pembunuh ketiga di negara ini selepas barah dan sakit jantung.
Lebih 40,000 kes baru barah dilaporkan setiap tahun. Apa lagi, hanya enam daripada setiap 100 orang dapat mengawal tekanan darah mereka.
Alasan utama di sebalik angka-angka penyakit yang terus meningkat ini ialah sikap "hidup untuk makan" dan tidak hiraukan senaman.
Senaman atau teh tarik? Sampai bilakah rakyat Malaysia akan terus mengabaikan kesihatan mereka dan mendera tubuh mereka hanya kerana mahu memuaskan selera mereka.
Pelbagai kempen kesihatan yang dianjurkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan tidak banyak menunjukkan kejayaan dalam menangani masalah warga Malaysia yang obes. Nampaknya warga Malaysia sanggup berbuat apa sahaja untuk menikmati teh tarik dan nasi lemak mereka, sehinggakan mereka mengetepikan diet dan senaman.
Di sebalik melakukan senaman, rakyat Malaysia lebih rela duduk di kedai atau warung mamak dan menghirup teh, dan itupun pada bila-bila masa sepanjang hari.
Malangnya, apabila memilih antara senaman dan teh tarik panas, ramai akan memilih minuman itu. Senaman sering diketepikan dan dilupakan. Hanya apabila pemeriksaan doktor mendedahkan mereka mengalami kolesterol yang tinggi, yang boleh mengganggu kesihatan jantung, baru mereka mula berfikir.
Ada kalanya, sedikit "paksaan" boleh membantu. Sebagai contoh, majikan boleh mewajibkan senaman sebelum mula kerja. Jika tidak, tiada harapan untuk melihat mereka, khasnya golongan muda, melakukan senaman dan menjalani gaya hidup sihat.
Sayangilah tubuh sendiri Tiada siapa yang dilarang daripada mengisi perut mereka tetapi pada masa yang sama otot tubuh juga tidak boleh dilupakan. Malaysia, seperti yang diketahui, adalah syurga makanan tetapi demi kesihatan tubuh sila kurangkan sedikit makanan goreng yang kaya dengan kolesterol dan lemak.
Dan gaya hidup sihat juga memerlukan sedikit masa untuk memikirkan apa yang kita telah lakukan selama ini dan yang akan kita lakukan. Yang lebih penting ialah untuk sentiasa ingat yang kita makan untuk hidup dan bukan hidup untuk makan -- dan ini memerlukan disiplin! BERNAMA

Tips untuk rambut sihat

Try This 4-Step Diet for Your HairPosted by
Joy Bauer, M.S., R.D., C.D.N. on Wed, Feb 21, 2007, 9:26 am PST
Put your hair on a four-step diet and reap the benefits with stronger, more lustrous locks!
Step 1: Eat plenty of iron-rich protein Protein is necessary for all cell growth, including hair cells. And the iron found within certain protein foods helps your red blood cells carry oxygen to all cells in the body, including the hair follicles.Good sources of iron-rich protein include clams, oysters, lean beef, turkey, duck, lamb, chicken, pork, shrimp, and eggs.
Good sources of vegetarian iron-rich protein include tofu, soybeans, lentils, beans, and black-eyed peas.
Step 2: Load up on Vitamin CVitamin C improves the body's ability to absorb non-heme iron (also known as vegetarian-based iron), so vegetarians should eat iron-rich vegetables and foods rich in vitamin C at the same meal.
Good sources of Vitamin C include guava, peppers, oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, pineapple, papayas, lemons, broccoli, kale, and Brussels sprouts.
Step 3: Be sure to get your Bs (folate, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12)These vitamins are involved in the creation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to all body cells, including those of the scalp, follicles, and growing hair. Without enough B vitamins, the cells will not thrive, causing shedding, slow growth, or weak hair that is prone to breaking.
Good sources of vitamin B-6 include fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, garbanzo beans, wild salmon, lean beef, pork tenderloin, chicken breast, white potatoes (w/skin), bananas, and lentils.
Good sources of Vitamin B-12 include shellfish (clams, oysters, crab), wild salmon, fortified whole-grain breakfast cereal, soy milk, trout, lean beef, and low-fat cottage cheese.
Good sources of folate include fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, lentils, black-eyed peas, soybeans, oatmeal, turnip greens, spinach, green peas, artichokes, okra, beets, parsnips, and broccoli.
Step 4: Don't forget the ZincThe mineral zinc is involved in tissue growth and repair, including hair growth. It also helps keep the oil glands around the hair follicles working properly. Low levels of zinc can cause hair loss, slow growth, and dandruff.
Good sources of zinc include oysters, lean beef, crab, ostrich, pork tenderloin, peanut butter, wheat germ, turkey, veal, pumpkin seeds, chicken, and chickpeas.
