When going to the hospital, the doctor will
usually issue a measuring
instrument. Start of measuring
blood pressure, heart rate,
until the sugar content. Under
certain conditions, doctors also often determine the health of
a person through various
tests in the laboratory. Basically there are a number
or a benchmark that we have
to remember in health affairs.
That is, we must know how
many numbers of normal blood
pressure or cholesterol levels. By knowing these figures, we
can take care of myself so no
need to suffer the
consequences of excessive and
far from pleasant. According to
experts, at least you need to get this important figure eight.
Please read and kept in mind
always! 1. Blood pressure: 120/80 According to Dr. Arthur Tan, a
heart specialist from
Gleneagles Hospital, high blood
potentially become the number
one killer in the world in 2020.
High blood often strikes without symptoms. Therefore,
routine blood pressure checks
obligatory. Do it once a month
with a personal digital
measuring devices, or two
times a year by a doctor. Make sure the blood pressure
less than 120/80 mmHg. "At
least 10 above or below
120/80. More or less than that
require medical treatment,
"said Dr. Ristanto Spb Wiwin, the surgeon and femininity
Oncology Hospital Surabaya. 2. Cholesterol: 2 to 1 According to Dr. John
Chandrawinata, MND, SpGK,
clinical nutrition specialist from
the hospital Melinda Bandung,
if your total cholesterol level
above 200 mg / dL, it is called high. Is normal if less than 200
mg / dL. By calculation, LDL
(bad cholesterol) below 100
mg / dL and HDL (good
cholesterol) above 45 mg / dL. In short, the ratio between
LDL and HDL is 2:1. The higher
levels of HDL, the higher the
protection against coronary
heart disease. 3. Waist circumference: less than 80 cm For adult women, waist size
should be no more than 80 cm.
If on top of that, it means
there is a pile under the belly
fat that is not necessary, and
make us overweight. There are two types of fat
accumulation in the abdominal
area: under the skin and in
organs. "What is dangerous is
the second type because it
can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, fatty
liver, stroke and coronary
heart disease," said Dr. John. 4. Inflammation: under 10,000 Inflammation occurs in our
body during inflammation. We
can determine the level of
inflammation of the body by
measuring levels of C-reactive
protein (CRP), produced by the liver and is part of the body's
defense system. According to Dr. Wiwin, CRP,
normal is under 10,000. This
means we get the risk of
heart problems low. The level
of inflammation over 15 000
should be treated and look for the source because there may
be a hidden disease. For
example, immune system
disorders. 5. Vitamin D: a minimum of 30 Vitamin D deficiency may
increase the risk of liver
disorders, multiple sclerosis,
immune disorders, and
osteoporosis. Risk of
osteoporosis is determined by lifestyle, gender, and age.
Women more prone to bone
fragility than men. The risk
increases when entering the
age of menopause. We can prevent osteoporosis
with calcium saving early. In
order for maximum absorption
of calcium, our bodies need
vitamin D. So the info from the
National Institutes of Health. To find out how our levels of
vitamin D, do the blood test.
Levels of vitamin D per day is
recommended for more than
30. 6. Blood sugar: less than 140 The Western Pacific Declaration
on Diabetes mention, diabetes
mellitus (non-derived) is
infecting adolescents and
children. The main factor is
obesity. The more fat tissue (especially in the abdomen),
and muscle cells more resistant
to insulin. In other words,
obesity may inhibit insulin, so
blood sugar rises. So, we must always keep blood
sugar levels remain normal. Still
according to Dr. John, high or
low blood sugar levels
depending on the condition of
our present review. Normal blood sugar levels after
fasting for 6-8 hours, is
70-100 mg / dL, while blood
glucose levels 2 hours after
eating a normal is below 140
mg / dL. 7. Bone density: -2.5 To find out how solid our
bones, perform a bone density
test or bone mass density
(BMD). Dr. Michael Triangto,
SPOK, from Slim + Health
Sports Therapy said that the restriction of osteoporosis is a
T-score of -2.5. If the value is
more than -2.5, meaning
including osteoporosis. If not, it
means osteopenia (before
getting osteoporosis.) Bone density test is recommended
for menopausal women, had a
broken bone, had a family
history of osteoporosis, and
abnormal spinal structure. 8. Resting heart rate: 60-80 Healthy or not our physical
condition can also be marked
with the heart rate at rest
(resting heart rate). The best
measure resting heart rate is
when just woken up. How, press the pulse at the
wrist or the neck below the
jaw with the index finger.
Count the pulse for 15
seconds, then multiply the
result 4. Dr said Wiwin, normal resting heart rate for adult
women is 60-80 per minute. If
a person's resting heart rate
exceeds the limit, means the
heart works too hard so more
at risk of heart attack or stroke.
