Vitamin E, How Many Body Needed?

Vitamin E and free radical (free radical).
Second term is surely you often hear. Not only on food, but also on various beauty products, vitamin E diunggulkan always powerful to fight free radicals.
What is the vitamin E? Why always be associated with free radical? Whether vitamin E is only effective against free radicals?

Vitamin E is the vitamin that dissolves in fat. That is, there are vitamins in the food greasy, and the body can only be digested by bile in the liver, because it does not dissolve in water.
Function of vitamin E
Addition can improve the body's resistance, to help overcome stress, increase fertility, minimizing the risk of cancer and coronary heart disease, vitamin E has a role is very important for skin health.

Vitamin E to maintain, improve elasticity and
moist skin, prevent early premature aging process, protect skin from damage due to ultraviolet ray radiation, and expedite the process of healing wounds.

Vitamin E is available in lots of oil produced from seeds, such as peanut oil, corn oil skin, oil and corn oil sunflower seeds. In addition, vitamin E is also found in green vegetables, cereals, liver, yolk, milk fat, nuts and butter.
It is important to remember about vitamin E, is easily damaged by high heat (cooking process)
and oxidation (exposure to oxygen). Therefore, the source of vitamin E is best fresh food, raw, or food that has not been processed.

Then, why vitamin E is often associated with free radical?
Free radical oxidation is the result of the molecules in the body. In fact, if produced in a number of fit, free radical required for the health and body function, namely to emerangi inflammation, kill bacteria and harmful smooth muscle tonus control vein and other organs in
body. But when produced in excess limit, free radicals can attack the body cells. So that the function changed. This function changes the cells that trigger process premature aging prematurity, and various health disturbances.
Summary oxygen free radicals in the body of substances can be prevented by antioxidants, which stop the work and activities of free radicals to protect healthy cells from damage. One of the substances the most powerful antioxidants is vitamin E.

How much is needed by the body?
If you want to function as antioxidants vitamin E, then a woman needs at least 120 IU (international units) per day. However, according to the medical record, most women in Indonesia only food that contains 10.4 - 13.4 IU per day. Sufficient for the needs, we can consumption vitamin E and synthetic vitamin E (dl-a tokoferol).
Because we need vitamin E is limited, then the body will react immediately when the condition is not comparable. Symptoms of an inch different look, but tend to be vague so that it can be difficult to understand.

Deficiency symptoms
When the vitamin E content in blood is very low, red blood cell is broken and split. The process of red blood cell division is called hemolisis eritrodit. This situation causes interference in the nerve system and muscles. Symptoms that are perceived difficulty walking

Life Active Style Can Delay Prematur Aging

Being active is a lot of people benefit. In addition to more active physically in shape, people who are also active biological want far younger than the sluggard who pass most of the time in front of the television, so the results of studies that broadcast in the 'Archives of Internal Medicine'.

A study long-term health, which is based on the 2401 twin found that those with active lifestyles appear 10 years younger than the biology of those people who sit a lot more.

Some researchers took DNA from white blood cells and analyzing the cells that have the hereditary nature in order to determine the length of a series of genetics called telomere, found at the end of the chromosome. Telomere grow short when one cell split. When a telomere is too short, cells stop split. Penuaan occur when more cells reach the end of the telomere and its dead.

Studies show that people quite active and doing physical activities an average of 100 minutes per week that have telomere average look five or six times more young than the subject that are less active and make physical activity an average of 16 minutes each weekend.

They do the most activities, an average of 199 minutes per week, have a look around the telomere nine to 10 years younger than the most inactive.

"This data shows that sports activities may eventually protect the body from old process," said Tim D. Spector, genetic epidemiology professor at the King `s College in London, who led the study.

Physical activity can also reduce the psychological stress, which has been associated with telomere length. Many researchers said they hope the doctors can use the findings to encourage people to exercise.

"It is expected that when a teaching physician or the medical clinic to provide advice to their patients, this may be another reason to bid," said Spector. "It also may slow the process old, and people might actually look and feel younger, which we know will be good for most people."

Hal Ihwal Nisfu Sya'ban

Pada malam tanggal 15 Sya'ban (Nisfu Sya'ban) telah terjadi peristiwa penting dalam sejarah perjuangan umat Islam yang tidak boleh kita lupakan sepanjang masa. Di antaranya adalah perintah memindahkan kiblat salat dari Baitul Muqoddas yang berada di Palestina ke Ka'bah yang berada di Masjidil Haram, Makkah pada tahun ke delapan Hijriyah.

Sebagaimana kita ketahui, sebelum Nabi Muhammad hijrah ke Madinah yang menjadi kiblat salat adalah Ka'bah. Kemudian setelah beliau hijrah ke Madinah, beliau memindahkan kiblat salat dari Ka'bah ke Baitul Muqoddas yang digunakan orang Yahudi sesuai dengan izin Allah untuk kiblat salat mereka. Perpindahan tersebut dimaksudkan untuk menjinakkan hati orang-orang Yahudi dan untuk menarik mereka kepada syariat al-Quran dan agama yang baru yaitu agama tauhid.

Tetapi setelah Rasulullah saw menghadap Baitul Muqoddas selama 16-17 bulan, ternyata harapan Rasulullah tidak terpenuhi. Orang-orang Yahudi di Madinah berpaling dari ajakan beliau, bahkan mereka merintangi Islamisasi yang dilakukan Nabi dan mereka telah bersepakat untuk menyakitinya. Mereka menentang Nabi dan tetap berada pada kesesatan.

Karena itu Rasulullah saw berulang kali berdoa memohon kepada Allah swt agar diperkenankan pindah kiblat salat dari Baitul Muqoddas ke Ka'bah lagi, setelah Rasul mendengar ejekan orang-orang Yahudi yang mengatakan, "Muhammad menyalahi kita dan mengikuti kiblat kita. Apakah yang memalingkan Muhammad dan para pengikutnya dari kiblat (Ka'bah) yang selama ini mereka gunakan?"

Ejekan mereka ini dijawab oleh Allah swt dalam surat al Baqarah ayat 143:

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِى كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَا إلاَّ لِيَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ.

Dan kami tidak menjadikan kiblat yang menjadi kiblatmu, melainkan agar kami mengetahui siapa yang mengikuti Rasul dan siapa yang membelot…

Dan pada akhirnya Allah memperkenankan Rasulullah saw memindahkan kiblat salat dari Baitul Muqoddas ke Ka'bah sebagaimana firman Allah dalam surat al-Baqarah ayat 144.

Diantara kebiasaan yang dilakukan oleh umat Islam pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban adalah membaca surat Yasin tiga kali yang setiap kali diikuti doa yang antara lain isinya adalah:

"Ya Allah jika Engkau telah menetapkan aku di sisi-Mu dalam Ummul Kitab (buku induk) sebagai orang celaka atau orang-orang yang tercegah atau orang yang disempitkan rizkinya maka hapuskanlah ya Allah demi anugerah-Mu, kecelakaanku, ketercegahanku, dan kesempitan rizkiku.."

Bacaan Yasin tersebut dilakukan di masjid-masjid, surau-surau atau di rumah-rumah sesudah salat maghrib.

Sebagian dari orang-orang yang mengaku ahli ilmu telah menganggap ingkar perbuatan tersebut, menuduh orang-orang yang melakukannya telah berbuat bid'ah dan melakukan penyimpangan terhadap agama karena doa dianggap ada kesalahan ilmiyah yaitu meminta penghapusan dan penetapan dari Ummul Kitab. Padahal kedua hal tersebut tidak ada tempat bagi penggantian dan perubahan.

Tanggapan mereka ini kurang tepat, sebab dalam syarah kitab hadist Arbain Nawawi diterangkan bahwa takdir Allah swt itu ada empat macam:

1. Takdir yang ada di ilmu Allah. Takdir ini tidak mungkin dapat berubah, sebagaimana Nabi Muhammad saw bersabda:

   لاَيَهْلِكُ اللهُ إلاَّ هَالِكًا

   "Tiada Allah mencelakakan kecuali orang celaka, yaitu orang yang telah ditetapkan dalam ilmu Allah Taala bahwa dia adalah orang celaka."

2. Takdir yang ada dalam Lauhul Mahfudh. Takdir ini mungkin dapat berubah, sebagaimana firman Allah dalam surat ar-Ra'du ayat 39 yang berbunyi:

   يَمْحُو اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الكِتَابِ.

   "Allah menghapuskan apa yang Dia kehendaki dan menetapkan apa yang dikehendaki, dan di sisi-Nyalah terdapat Ummul Kitab (Lauhul Mahfudz)."

   Dan telah diriwayatkan dari Ibnu Umar, bahwa beliau mengucapkan dalam doanya yaitu "Ya Allah jika engkau telah menetapkan aku sebagai orang yang celaka maka hapuslah kecelakaanku, dan tulislah aku sebagai orang yang bahagia".

3. Takdir dalam kandungan, yaitu malaikat diperintahkan untuk mencatat rizki, umur, pekerjaan, kecelakaan, dan kebahagiaan dari bayi yang ada dalam kandungan tersebut.
4. Takdir yang berupa penggiringan hal-hal yang telah ditetapkan kepada waktu-waktu yang telah ditentukan. Takdir ini juga dapat diubah sebagaimana hadits yang menyatakan: "Sesungguhnya sedekah dan silaturrahim dapat menolak kematian yang jelek dan mengubah menjadi bahagia." Dalam salah satu hadits Nabi Muhammad saw pernah bersabda,

   إنَّ الدُّعَاءَ وَالبَلاَءَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ والاَرْضِ يَقْتَتِلاَنِ وَيَدْفَعُ الدُّعَاءُ البَلاَءَ قَبْلَ أنْ يَنْزِلَ.

   "Sesungguhnya doa dan bencana itu diantara langit dan bumi, keduanya berperang; dan doa dapat menolak bencana, sebelum bencana tersebut turun."

Diantara kebiasaan kaum muslimin pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban adalah melakukan salat pada tengah malam dan datang ke pekuburan untuk memintakan maghfirah bagi para leluhur yang telah meninggal dunia. Kebiasaan seperti ini adalah berdasar dari amal perbuatan atau sunnah Nabi Muhammad saw. Antara lain ada hadist yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Baihaqi dalam Musnadnya dari Sayidah Aisyah RA, yang artinya kurang lebih sebagai berikut:

"Pada suatu malam Rasulullah saw berdiri melakukan salat dan beliau memperlama sujudnya, sehingga aku mengira bahwa beliau telah meninggal dunia. Tatkala aku melihat hal yang demikian itu, maka aku berdiri lalu aku gerakkan ibu jari beliau dan ibu jari itu bergerak lalu aku kembali ke tempatku dan aku mendengar beliau mengucapkan dalam sujudnya: "Aku berlindung dengan maaf-Mu dari siksa-Mu; aku berlindung dengan kerelaan-Mu dari murka-Mu; dan aku berlindung dengan Engkau dari Engkau. Aku tidak dapat menghitung sanjungan atas-Mu sebagaimana Engkau menyanjung atas diri-Mu." Setelah selesai dari salat beliau bersabda kepada Aisyah, "Ini adalah malam Nisfu Sya'ban. Sesungguhnya Allah 'azza wajalla berkenan melihat kepada para hamba-Nya pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban, kemudian mengampunkan bagi orang-orang yang meminta ampun, memberi rahmat kepada orang-orang yang memohon rahmat, dan mengakhiri ahli dendam seperti keadaan mereka."

Nabi Muhammad saw pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban berdoa untuk para umatnya, baik yang masih hidup maupun mati. Dalam hal ini Sayidah Aisyah RA meriwayatkan hadits:

إنَّهُ خَرَجَ فِى هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ إلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ.

"Sesungguhnya Nabi Muhammad saw telah keluar pada malam ini (malam Nisfu Sya'ban) ke pekuburan Baqi' (di kota Madinah) kemudian aku mendapati beliau (di pekuburan tersebut) sedang memintakan ampun bagi orang-orang mukminin dan mukminat dan para syuhada."

Banyak hadits yang diriwayatkan oleh Ahmad bin Hanbal, at-Tirmidzi, at-Tabrani, Ibn Hibban, Ibn Majah, Baihaqi, dan an-Nasa'i bahwa Rasulullah saw menghormati malam Nisfu Sya'ban dan memuliakannya dengan memperbanyak salat, doa, dan istighfar.
