HEART ATTACK

HEART ATTACK Heart attack (myocardial infarction), (myocardial infarct), (myocardial infarction) is a situation where all of a sudden happen restriction or termination of blood flow to the heart, causing the heart muscle (myocardium) to die from lack of oxygen. CAUSE A heart attack usually occurs when a blockage in a coronary artery results in limited or cut off blood flow to a part of the heart. If the interruption or reduction of blood flow lasts longer than a few minutes, the heart tissue will die. Pumping ability of the heart after a heart attack is directly related to the extent and location of tissue damage (infarct). If more than half of the damaged heart tissue, the heart can not function normally and the possibility of death. Even though the damage was not extensive, the heart can not pump properly, resulting in heart failure or shock. Damaged heart may enlarge, and partly an attempt pumping ability of the heart to compensate for the decline (due to the larger heart will beat more powerful). An enlarged heart is also a picture of the damage to the heart muscle itself. Enlargement of the heart after a heart attack gave a poorer prognosis. Another cause of a heart attack are: # A clot from the heart itself. Sometimes a clot (embolus) are formed in the heart, then broke and lodged in the coronary arteries. # Spasm of the coronary arteries that lead to the cessation of blood flow. Seizures can be caused by drugs (such as cocaine) or because of smoking, but sometimes the cause is unknown. SYMPTOMS About 2 out of 3 people who had a heart attack, a few days before the attack pain intermittent chest, shortness of breath or fatigue. Chest pain more often appear even after light physical activity. Unstable angina like this could end up being a heart attack. Pain in the middle of the chest radiating to the back, jaw or left arm, or more rarely spread to the right arm. Pain can occur in places where it no chest pain at all. Pain similar to a heart attack angina pain but more intense and longer, not relieved by rest or giving nitroglliserin. Sometimes the pain is felt in the abdomen and misinterpreted as a meal, especially because after burping pain sufferers somewhat diminish or disappear for a while. Other symptoms are feeling like going to faint and palpitations. Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) can affect the heart's pumping ability or may cause cardiac arrest (heart stops pumping effectively), resulting in a decrease of consciousness or death. During the attack, the patient may feel restless, sweating and anxiety and can feel his end was coming soon. The lips, hands and feet look bluish. Patients with advanced age may experience disorientation (daze). A total of about 1 in 5 people who had a heart attack, have only mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Heart attack like this could only be identified from routine ECG examination some time later. COMPLICATIONS Is a frequent complication of myocardial rupture, blood clots, arrhythmia (heart rhythm disorders), heart failure or shock or pericarditis. Myocardial rupture The damaged heart muscle becomes weak, so sometimes have tears because of the pressure of the pumping action of the heart. 2 parts of the heart that often have rips during or after a heart attack is the muscular wall of the heart and the muscles that control the opening and closing of one of the heart valves (valve mitralis). If the muscle tear, the valve can not function so sudden severe heart failure. Heart muscle wall that restricts both ventricles (septum) or on the outer wall of the heart muscle may also experience tears. A torn septum can sometimes be corrected by surgery, but a tear in the outer wall almost always results in death. Heart muscle damaged by a heart attack will not contract properly despite not having a tear. Damaged muscle is replaced by fibrous scar tissue is rigid and can not be contracted. Sometimes this section will swell when it should contract. To reduce the extent of the area that this function can not be given an ACE-inhibitor. Damaged muscle could form a small protrusion on the heart wall (aneurysm). The existence of the aneurysm can be known from an abnormal EKG, and to reinforce this notion can be done echocardiogram. Aneurysm will have no rips, but can cause irregular heart rhythm and can cause a reduction in the heart's pumping ability. The blood flow through the aneurysm will be slower, because it can form clots in the heart chambers. Blood clot In about 20-60% of people who have had a heart attack, a blood clot formed in the heart. In 5% of patients, the clot may break, flow in the artery and lodged in a smaller blood vessels throughout the body, causing blockage of blood flow to part of the brain (causing a stroke) or to other organs. To find a clot in the heart or to determine predisposing factors owned by the patient, performed an echocardiogram. To help prevent the formation of blood clots, often given anticoagulants (such as heparin and warfarain). This medicine is usually taken for 3-6 months after a heart attack. Diagnosis If a man over 35 or a woman over 50 years old complained of chest pain, usually considered the possibility of a heart attack. Diagnosis of heart attacks could be strengthened by doing the following checks: 1. ECG When a suspected heart attack, the ECG is the initial diagnostic examination of the most important. Some abnormalities can be seen on an EKG, depending on the size and location of damage to the heart. 2. Blood tests Blood tests are performed to determine the levels of certain enzymes. CK-MB enzyme normally found in heart muscle and is released into the blood when there is damage to the heart. Elevated levels of this enzyme will appear within 6 hours after a heart attack and persist for 36-48 hours. Enzyme levels are usually checked at the time of patient admission and every 6-8 hours during the next 24 hours. 3. Echocardiogram Echocardiogram will describe the reduced movement of a portion of the wall of the left ventricle (heart chamber that pumps blood throughout the body), which is an indication of damage due to a heart attack. 4. Radionuclide imaging. The depiction of the radionuclides may show reduced blood flow to a part of the heart muscle, which is indicative of scar tissue (dead tissue) caused by a heart attack. TREATMENT A heart attack is an emergency. Half of deaths from heart attack occur within the first 3-4 hours after the occurrence of symptoms. The sooner help is given, the more likely the patient can be helped. A person suspected of having a heart attack is usually treated in the cardiac care unit and to assess heart damage, strict monitoring of the heart rhythm, blood pressure and the amount of oxygen in the blood. Early Treatment Usually immediately given aspirin tablet must be chewed. This medication reduces the formation of blood clots in the coronary arteries. Beta-blockers are given to slow the heart rate and the heart that do not work too hard to pump blood around tubuh.Oksigen often administered through a facemask or a small tube that is inserted into the nostrils. By administering oxygen, the pressure of oxygen in the blood will increase so that more oxygen to the heart and heart damage can be minimized. If a blockage in a coronary artery can be overcome, then the cardiac tissue can be saved. Blood clots in the arteries can often be dissolved by thrombolytic therapy, by giving streptokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator urikinase. To be effective, the drug is given intravenously within 6 hours after the symptoms of a heart attack, because if it is more than 6 hours, some will settle its damage. Early treatment improves blood flow in 60-80% of patients and can minimize the damage to heart tissue. Aspirin (to prevent blood clots from forming platelets) or heparin (to stop bleeding) can add to the effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy. Thrombolytic therapy may cause bleeding, so it is usually not given to people who: - Gastrointestinal bleeding - Have severe high blood pressure - Recently suffered a stroke - New surgery. Patients older who do not have the above-mentioned circumstances, can safely undergo thrombolytic therapy. Some hospitals are using angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery immediately after a heart attack. Nitroglycerin can overcome the pain by reducing the workload of the heart, and is usually given intravenously initially. If the drug is used to improve coronary artery blood flow was also not successful in reducing the symptoms of a heart attack, it is usually given an injection of morphine. Morphine is also sedative and reduces the heart's workload. Advanced Treatment Someone who has had a heart attack, should undergo complete bed rest in a quiet room for several days, due to excitement, physical activity and emotional stress can aggravate the jantung.Pelunak feces and laxatives can be used to prevent sembelit.Kecemasan and depression often occur after a heart attack. Severe anxiety could weigh on the heart, so it is given a sedative. ACE-inhibitors are routinely given to reduce heart enlargement, which often occurs after a heart attack. Prognosis The majority of patients who survive for several days after a heart attack may experience complete healing: but about 10% die within 1 year. Death occurs within the first 3-4 months, especially in patients who re-experiencing angina, ventricular arrhythmias and heart failure. REHABILITATION Cardiac rehabilitation is an important part of the healing process. Staying in bed for more than 2-3 days will cause the cessation of physical activity and sometimes lead to depression and a sense of dependence. On the third or fourth day after a heart attack, the patient is gradually trained to sit, passive activities, walked into the bathroom and engage in activities that do not cause stress (eg reading). After 3-6 weeks, the patient should gradually increase their activity. If no shortness of breath and chest pain, normal activities can be re-done after about 6 weeks. PREVENTION # As much as possible reduce the factors that lead to coronary artery disease, especially those that can be changed by the patient: Stop smoking # Lose weight # Controlling blood pressure # Lowering blood cholesterol levels with diet or with medication # Perform regular exercise.

HEART DISEASE SYMPTOMS

HEART DISEASE SYMPTOMS 1. Painful If the muscle is not getting enough blood (a condition called ischemia), then insufficient oxygen and the metabolism of excessive causing cramps or spasms. Angina is a feeling of tightness in the chest or squeezing chest feeling, which occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough blood. The type and severity of pain or discomfort varies in each person. Some people myang deprived of blood flow can not feel pain at all (a condition called silent ischemia). If blood flow to the muscle to another (especially the calf muscle) is too little, the patient will usually experience muscle pain during the stifling and exhausting activity (claudication). Pericarditis (inflammation or injury to the sac surrounding the heart) which causes pain gets worse when the patient is lying down and will be improved if the patient sitting and bending forward. Physical activity does not cause pain worse. If you inhale or exhale causes pain is getting better or getting worse, you might also have occurred pleurisy (inflammation of the membranes covering the lungs). If an artery torn or ruptured, the patient may feel a sharp pain that relapsing-remitting quickly and was not associated with physical activity. Sometimes the main arteries (mainly aorta) were damaged. An aneurysm (bulging aorta) can suddenly leak or layers having a small tear, allowing blood to infiltrate between the layers of the aorta (aortic dissection). It causes sudden intense pain are intermittent due to further damage (tearing of the aorta) or the transfer of blood from the gastrointestinal origin. The pain of the aorta is often felt in the back of the neck, between the shoulders, lower back or abdomen. The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle can protrude into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts (mitralis valve prolapse). Patients sometimes feel pain like needles stabbed or punctured. Typically centralized pain under left breast and was not influenced by the position and physical activity. 

 2. Blown Shortness of breath is a symptom commonly found in heart failure. Shortness is a result of the influx of fluid into the cavity of air in the lungs (pulmonary congestion or pulmonary edema). In the early stages of heart failure, the patient felt shortness of breath only during physical activity. In line with the worsening of the disease, difficulty will occur when the patient had mild activity, even when the patient is at rest (no activity). Most patients experience shortness of breath when he was lying down because the liquid flows into the lung tissue. If you sit down, gravity causes fluid to collect in the bottom of the lungs and difficulty will be reduced. Shortness of breath at night (nocturnal dyspnoea) is a tightness that occurs when the patient was lying in the evening and will be lost if the patient sitting upright. Shortness of breath is not only in heart disease; patients with lung disease, respiratory muscle disease or disease of the nervous system that play a role in the process of respiration may also experience shortness of breath. Any disease that disrupts the balance between supply and demand of oxygen can cause shortness of breath (eg malfunctioning of oxygen transport by the blood in anemia or increased metabolism in hyperthyroidism). 

 3. Fatigue or tiredness If the heart is not pumping effectively, blood flow to the muscles during activity will be reduced, causing the patient to feel weak and tired. These symptoms are often mild. To overcome this, the patient usually is gradually reducing its activity or thought these symptoms as part of aging. 

 4. Palpitations (heart palpitations) Usually one does not notice his heart rate. But in certain circumstances (for example, if a healthy person doing strenuous sports or experiencing the dramatic), he could feel his heart rate. His heart was beating with very strong or very fast or irregular. Doctors can amplify this phenomenon by palpating the pulse and listen to the heartbeat through a stethoscope. Palpitations that occur together with other symptoms (shortness of breath, pain, fatigue, fatigue or fainting) may result from abnormal heart rhythms or heart disease are serious. 

 5. Dizziness and fainting Decreased blood flow due to pulse or abnormal heart rhythms or because of poor pumping ability, can cause dizziness and fainting. These symptoms can also be caused by diseases of the brain or spinal cord, or it could without serious cause. Strong emotions or pain (which activates the part of the nervous system), can also cause fainting.

The heart is a hollow muscular organ

The heart is a hollow muscular organ located in the center of the chest. The right and left heart each has an upper chamber (atrium which collects blood and the lower chamber (ventricle) that draws blood. In order for blood to flow only in one direction, then the ventricle has a valve at the entrance and one valve on the way out. The main function of the heart is to supply oxygen to the body and cleanse the body from the metabolism (carbon dioxide). Heart perform these functions by collecting blood from a lack of oxygen throughout the body and pumps it to the lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide; heart then collects oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to tissues throughout the body. CARDIAC FUNCTION At the time of pulsing, every heart chambers relax and fill with blood (called diastole), hereinafter the heart contracts and pumps blood out of the heart (called systole). Both atrium relaxes and contracts simultaneously, and both ventricles also loosens and contracts simultaneously. The blood that ran out of oxygen and contains a lot of carbon dioxide from the body flows through 2 venous encouraged (vena cava) leading to the right atrium. After the right atrium filled with blood, he will push blood into the right ventricle. The blood from the right ventricle to be pumped through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery, to the lungs. Blood will flow through a very small vessels (capillaries) that surrounds the air pockets in the lungs, absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide which then exhaled. Oxygen-rich blood flow in the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. Blood circulation between the right side of the heart, lungs, and the left atrium called the pulmonary circulation. Blood in the left atrium will be driven into the left ventricle, which then pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve was entered into the aorta (the largest artery in the body). Oxygen-rich blood is supplied to the entire body, except the lungs. BLOOD VESSEL The entire circulatory system (cardiovascular system) consists of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. Arterial (strong and flexible) carry blood from the heart and bear the highest blood pressure. Flexibility helps maintain blood pressure between heart beats. Smaller arteries and arterioles have muscular walls that adjusts diameter to increase or decrease blood flow to certain areas. Capillaries are blood vessels smooth and very thin-walled, which serves as a bridge between the arteries (carry blood away from the heart) and veins (carry blood back to the heart). Capillaries allow oxygen and nutrients move from the blood into the tissues and allows the metabolism to move from the blood into the tissues. Of the capillaries, blood flows into the venules and then into the vein, which carries blood back to the heart. Veins have thin walls, but usually larger in diameter than arteries; thus veins carry blood in the same volume but with lower speed and less under pressure. BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE HEART Heart muscle (myocardium) itself receives a portion of a volume of blood flowing through the atria and ventricles A system of arterial and venous (coronary circulation) supply oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium and then returns the oxygenated blood to the right atrium. Right coronary artery and the left coronary artery is a branch of the aorta; cardiac veins drain blood into sinurskoroner, which returns blood to the right atrium. Most of the blood flow into the coronary circulation during moderate heart relaxes between pulse (during ventricular diastole).

Heart attack

Heart attack Heart attacks are the medical teminologi is named as acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is kerao blamed for sudden death. This is understandable because a third of heart attack patients died before he was taken to the hospital. A heart attack occurs because of blockage of blood clots in coronary arteries Coronary arteries are the vessels that meperdarahi heart muscle. Through these vessels, the heart gets oxygen and nutrients that the heart muscles to contract continuously throughout the day without stopping. Normal coronary arteries have smooth inner walls. In coronary unhealthy, lining the walls of the blood vessels to harden and thicken because of the crust (atherosclerosis). Crusts were cored cholesterol and a variety of cells, including inflammatory cells. Most attacks occur when falling crust is cracked or pecaj and triggered crustal pieces of blood (platelets) to attach to and clustered to form a blood clot that could potentially clog coronary burrows. Complaints attack Complaints heart attacks do not always like what we see on screen the soap opera actor acting as holding left chest while glaring eyes and bowed and fell to the floor. There is a wide range of complaints a heart attack. In general, patients with a heart attack such as chest distress complained of heavy objects with numbness radiating to the arm. Sometimes the pain spread to my back and jaw. Some are complaining neck like choking. In some patients, the complaint was not typical, that bad taste in my gut, so suspected gastric disease. Manifestations of heart attacks in older people are often unclear even as the body weak with blurred vision and even fainting. Complaints of a heart attack is usually accompanied by a cold sweat, nausea, even vomiting. Such complaints sometimes misinterpreted as a cold, so people instead of immediately taken to the hospital instead scraped - a result that should be given immediate relief becomes too late. A heart attack can affect a previously known as coronary heart disease, but can also occur in those who are not known to suffer from heart disease before. Patients with unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking, prone to heart attacks. Patients with diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and a family history of coronary heart disease at higher risk of heart attack than those who did not have these risk factors. In those with more risk factors, the risk of heart attack increases. Malignant rhythm disturbances Deaths from heart attacks could be due to a massive attack that makes the heart fails to pump properly. Massive attack occurs when a blockage on the base of the main coronary arteries. Usually people complain of such attacks severe breathlessness. The most common cause of sudden death heart attack sufferers is fierce rhythm disorder called ventricular fibrillation. This chaotic heart rhythm that makes your heart can only vibrate up to 300 times per minute, but was unable to contract. The strongest hypothesis mentioned, is caused chaos rama alternating current (reentry) in areas of the heart with an electric inhomogenitas because oxygen supply is interrupted. If not addressed immediately, such rhythm disturbances can stop the work of the heart that supplies blood to the entire body, including the brain, will be stopped. Some time before his death, patients with a fatal rhythm is usually experienced unconscious, and convulsions followed by cardiac arrest and stopped breathing. Brain death and permanent death can occur in just 4 to 6 minutes after stopping jantunhg. So rapidly fatal attacks so people did not get taken to the hospital because dying at the scene or on the road. Relief right This rhythm disturbance likely normalized again in a matter of minutes when performed cardiac shock (defibrillation). The defibrillator paddles are placed on the chest it will drain the electrical energy that serves to reset the heart rhythm. Every minute of delay rescue, survivors chance fell 10 percent. Aid will be in vain if done over 10 minutes pascakejadian. In developed countries, the defibrillator paddles easily found in various corners of public crowds, such as at airports, train stations, bus terminals, to shopping malls. Automatic defibrillator paddles are easy to use by the layman. Patients with symptoms that lead to a heart attack should be immediately taken to the hospital. Blocked coronary blood flow must flow back (reperfusion), either through medication destruction of blood clots (thrombolytic) and immediate coronary intervention with stent implantation balonisasi (primary percutaneous coronary intervention). Action reperfusion may reduce the risk of death and heart failure and to reduce the incidence of fatal rhythm that accompanies a heart attack.

10. Balancing the body

Amount of water in the body, the function of organs also will be reduced and more easily disturbed by bacteria, viruses. However, the human body has a mechanism in maintaining the balance of incoming water intake and expenditure. Thirst in every man is a normal mechanism in maintaining the water intake in the body. Water body needs approximately 2 to 2.5 l (8-10 cups) per day.

Body would deteriorate if water levels decline and we do not immediately meet the needs of the body of water. U.S. cardiologist, Dr. James M. Rippe gives advice to drink a liter of water for at least more than what is needed our thirst. Because the loss of only 4% of the liquid will lead to lower our performance as much as 22%! It is understandable if the loss of 7%, we will begin to feel weak and lethargic.

If you are in air-conditioned space, it is recommended to drink more because the air is cold and dehydrated the body faster. Much to drink will also help the skin does not dry quickly. At room temperature is still not advisable to get a drink even though does not feel thirsty to balance the temperature. (Relaxed)

How To Reduce Cholesterol Levels

How To Reduce Cholesterol Levels Sometimes for some people to have high cholesterol levels do not show symptoms. Usually because of circumstances such as these make a person's cholesterol level can not be controlled before blood examination in the laboratory by the cholesterol content of the then known already on the verge of the normal range. For some others, the symptoms of high cholesterol will be felt by the occurrence of various specific complaints, such as joint pain, feeling vertigo or migraine recurrence. To ensure that cholesterol levels are in normal limits or even otherwise, then one way is best done in a laboratory blood test. However normal levels of cholesterol are not the same in every person. Factors that greatly affect a person's normal cholesterol levels, are influenced by various conditions, such as age, medical history, risk factors and how much he has. How To Reduce Cholesterol Levels Here are a few ways yag can help you to lower cholesterol levels. Do not eat the yolk, just the white part. Breakfast with havermurt. Drinking cow's milk without the fat. Or sauteed vegetables are so fresh vegetables. Remember, do not eat vegetables cooked with coconut milk. Eat chicken or duck without the skin or just choose a meat rabbit. Here are a few foods to avoid. Sausage, cheese and high fat milk. Butter and various fried. If there is, use olive oil or canola oil. Clams, crabs, shrimp, snails, and eel, because of the high cholesterol content. Fatty meats such as beef lard and lard goats. In addition to food should be avoided, there are foods that actually never eaten because of very high cholesterol content. Bovine brain. Egg yolk. Squid. Quail eggs. Cholesterol can indeed be lowered by eating right and regular exercise on target to be achieved. Exercise is done to lower cholesterol is usually associated with cardio, such as aerobics, running, or a treadmill at 3 to 5 times a week. Another important thing is not smoking and not drinking alcohol. Cholesterol Lowering Foods There are some foods that can lower bad cholesterol or Low-Density Lipoproptein (LDL). These types of foods that can lower cholesterol levels. 1. Nuts Nuts are a source of soluble fiber is so high, in which soluble fiber can reduce cholesterol levels. Therefore, the tomb of beans (chickpeas, lentils, and beans) with a routine for six weeks can reduce cholesterol as much as ten percent of the beans. 2. Avocado Avocados are a source of unsaturated fat that can boost the level of HDL. But unfortunately, avocados are high in calories and should be mixed with vegetable-suppressor syuran calories. With a medium-size avocado has 300 calories and 30 grams of unsaturated fat. Meanwhile, the normal needs of the human body is 1,800 calories and 30 grams of unsaturated fat each day. 3. Salmon fishing Omega-3 acid content is in very good salmon and trigiserilda lower LDL and increase HDL. In addition, EPA and DHA present in the salmon is very good for heart health. The American Hearth Association recommends at least two servings per week to obtain maximum efficacy. Besides salmon, the other consumption good as well, such as tuna, trout, sardines, mackerel, and herring. 4. Garlic Garlic is believed to contain many substances that are good for human health for thousands of years ago. Ancient Egyptian people manggunakan garlic to increase stamina. In modern times, garlic is used to lower cholesterol, protect the body from infections, prevents blood clots and lowering blood pressure. Recent studies suggest that garlic can prevent cholesterol particles stuck to the walls of blood vessels. 5. Soybeans Soy beans and processed products such as tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and soy flour, in it contains isoflavones (substances that can suppress LDL). However, tofu and tempeh may not be effective in lowering cholesterol when treated carelessly. For example, fried in cooking oil mixed with coconut milk or coconut milk and cooking oil as a source of saturated fat. National Agency of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mnegatakan that for lowering cholesterol, consume at least 25 grams of soy protein differing day. 6. Cashew, Almonds, and Walnuts Monounsaturated fat content in cashews, almonds, and walnuts, very good for heart health because of a low-fat. All three mengndung vitamin E, magnesium, and phytochemicals that are closely linked with heart health. However, kcang nuts are very high in protein, like avocado. 7. Margarine Some types of margarine was able to reduce cholesterol levels, such as margarine, canola flower from seed oils. 8. Spinach Spinach is a vegetable that contains lutein, a substance essential to maintain healthy eye function and sharpness. Lutein can maintain heart health because it can prevent grease build up in blood vessels. Therefore, diajnurkan consume half a bowl of spinach every day to obtain maximum results.

Tea Leaf-Soursop Fruit

Benefits: Tea Leaf-Soursop Fruit Soursop plant is one type of fruit that can be growing in the yard and in the fields to a height where approximately 1000 m above sea level. Soursop also has great benefits for human life, ie as the nutritional requirements of fruit and is a material traditional medicines that have multi properties. In the food industry, soursop can processed into jams and fruit juices, syrups and soursop lunkhead. Nutrient content of soursop fruit is as follows: Soursop fruit consists of 67.5 percent meat, 20 percent of the fruit skin, fruit seeds 8.5 percent and 4 percent of the core pieces. After water, the highest content of nutrients in the soursop is carbohydrates. One type of carbohydrate on the soursop fruit is a reducing sugar (glucose and fructose) with levels of 81.9 to 93.6 percent of the total sugar content. Soursop fruit contains very little fat (0.3 g/100 g), so it is good for health. Sour taste in soursop derived from non-volatile organic acids, mainly malic acid, citric acid, and acid isositrat. Vitamins are the most dominant in soursop fruit is vitamin C, which is about 20 mg per 100 grams of meat. Requirement of vitamin C per person per day (ie 60 mg), was able to be met only by consuming 300 grams of meat soursop fruit. The content of vitamin C is high enough on the soursop is an excellent antioxidant to boost the immune system and slow the aging process (stay young). The minerals are dominant enough phosphorus and calcium, respectively by 27 and 14 mg/100 g. Both minerals are essential for the formation of bone, making it useful to build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis. In addition to nutritional components, soursop fruit is also very rich in non-nutritional components. One of them is a lot of fiber-containing foods (dietary fiber), which reached 3.3 g / 100 g of fruit flesh. Consumption of 100 g of fruit flesh can meet 13 percent of dietary fiber a day. Soursop fruit is a fruit that is rich in phytochemicals, compounds, so as to ensure that the fruit is very much beneficial for health. Phytochemical compounds are likely to have health giving properties, although not all scientifically proven. Range of benefits such as soursop therapy treatment for gallstones, antisembelit, uric acid, and increased appetite. In addition, the fiber content also serves to facilitate digestion, especially for the treatment of constipation (a bowel obstruction). Juice (juice) of soursop in the digestive system Other names: Soursop (UK), corossol or Anone (France), Zuurzak (Netherlands) guanabana (Spanish), graviola (Portuguese), Brazilian Paw Paw, Corossolier, Guanavana, Toge-Banreisi, Bengal Durian, Jackfruit Blanda, and Jackfruit Londa .
