Red Blood Cell Start Weak, Why?

for the seekers of knowledge, at this time we will discuss about erythrocytes that begin to weaken in us. Well on this occasion we will find the reason why erythrocytes can weaken. Is it because the more time people live on earth, the erythrocytes will continue to weaken? Or is it all because people living today are required to work more. So we will discuss first what is erythrocytes.

Blood is one of the important fluids present in our body that function to deliver the oxygen and metabolism needed by body tissues. Blood also functions important in the defense of the human body. Well, in the blood itself consists of erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes. Erythrocite or commonly called red blood cells is the main composition in our blood. So we can realize that erythrocytes are very useful for the human body.

The erythrocytes contain hemoglobin whose job is to capture oxygen, which in turn oxygen is released through the capillary vessels. Hemoglobin is what gives the red color in the blood due to iron in the womb. While red blood cells are bikonkaf-shaped, which means concave in the middle and does not have a nucleus or cell called a nucleus. The amount of erythrocytes in our body is about 4 to 6 million cells the size of each cell is 6.2 to 8.2 Nm. Red blood cells are produced in the spinal cord and its formation is called erythropoesis.
As for diseases that can affect our body and associated with erythrocytes is anemia. The condition is the lack of red blood cells in our body so that the body can meresa easily tired and difficult to focus. Another equally dangerous condition is polycythaemia, this condition causes our bodies excess red blood cells that cause our bodies can experience bruises and nosebleeds.

Well on this occasion we will discuss about a theory that cited the doctors that erythrocytes are about 120 days old. But in fact erythrocytes in humans begin to weaken and age is sometimes dead before it reaches the normal limit of 100 to 120 days. There are two arguments that determine why red blood cells can continue to weaken. Actually I agree with the statement of both arguments because there is a relationship between time and time and work, but if I choose, I would rather agree with the argument that the cause of declining ertirocyte's age is the human work, lifestyle, and worsening environment in these days .

We can see that in today's a lot of competition, and people have to fight harder to survive to continue. Well in this case, we can know that the ongoing era does not cause erythrocytes in humans increasingly weakened, but the more time people have to work harder in work. Well we will discuss why hard-working humans have age susceptibility in erythrocytes.

Heavy work tortures the body

We can know that the human body needs oxygen in every part of it, and the erythrocytes are in charge of distributing that oxygen. If our body works harder in doing its activities then the body will definitely need more supply of oxygen. We can see for example when we exercise. When we exercise, the body will automatically provide immediate action with us breathing faster so that all parts of the body still get a lot of oxygen supply as well.

But when the body needs more oxygen, the body can not force ourselves to produce a lot of red blood cells because it can cause polycythaemia and is very harmful to the human body. While the oxygen need a carrier to reach the tissues in the body. Therefore, the existing red blood cells will work more to circulate the existing oxygen. Therefore red blood cells are vulnerable to death. With the destruction of red blood cells can mean 2 possibilities that occur. The first is anemia due to a lack of red blood cells, or it could be the reason for the worsening of the body due to spinal cord should work more extra in replacing dead red blood cells.

Free radicals

With our bodies diforsir to work harder, we will need more oxygen as I have said above. Therefore, there will be excessive oxidation also in the human so that we are unknowingly building free radicals in humans. The accumulation of free radicals becomes very large due to excessive oxidation causing natural antioxidants from the body can not afford in the face of free radicals. The accumulation of free radicals that can not be eliminated by antioxidants causes oxidative stress, consequently the intensity of the oxidation process of the body becomes so high that it causes much damage. This damage can also attack the erythrocytes that cause erythrocytes to be damaged.

Erythrocytes that do not have a nucleus which means can not do protein synthesis, can not fix itself so easily to damage. In addition, these free radicals can also cause the membrane and cytoplasm of red blood cells to become bad and easy to lysis or rupture.

Stress
If we do activities that use the mind, then within us there is one part that work hard in helping us do the task. That part is our brain. In the state of stress, the body will try to send oxygen to the brain which ultimately also will lead to free radicals. Not only that, stress causes our body condition also become bad, including disrupt the circulation of red blood cells with how to make the blood should often go to the brain. These red blood cells that continue terforsir will also experience lysis easily.

Dietary habit
If we do and focus ourselves on the job then we will begin to ignore the food we eat, causing ourselves to eat unhealthy food. Lack of iron in our daily consumption is what causes the quality of red blood cells to decrease and easy to lysis. besides eating foods with chemicals can also cause our bodies are exposed to free radicals.
Rest less

We can know that rest is the right time for our body to regenerate cells, without exception red blood cells. A healthy rest of seven to eight hours of sleep can help our body build immune systems and repair damaged cell cells. The body will usually begin to regenerate red blood cells when the hours of 21:00 to 23:00 so it is advisable not to do heavy activities and rest. If we lower our rest time, then the quality and age of red blood cells will decrease because we do not give time to regenerate for our body, and the result can be fatal anemia.

Disease

With decreased tolerance in us about health then our self may be susceptible to disease. For example with us not cleaning the house, we could just make mosquito nests in the house. One of the dangerous mosquitoes is the anopeles mosquito, where the mosquito will carry plasmodium sp which is the source for malaria. Malaria itself can cause many red blood cells to die. Plasmodium includes diseases that attack red blood cells. It usually leads to the liver to enter the red blood cells, where in the heart it will start to dig red blood cells from the inside and force the red blood cells to lysis.

Hormones and Enzymes

In us have enzymes that are useful for protecting red blood cells from the harmful effects of chemicals on our bodies, for example, we can see from the drugs we drink and eat-food. The enzyme is called G6PD enzyme. Lack of rest and eating-healthy foods can cause disruption of the formation of enzymes in the body including G6PD enzymes. If we experience interference in this enzyme then chemicals can easily damage the red blood cells in our body.

In addition there are also enzymes melatonin which is an important enzyme so that we can fall asleep, accelerate blood circulation, strengthen the cell, and serves as a powerful antioxidant to fight free radicals that enter the human body. So it can be said to play an important role in our immune system. If we do overtime with no sleep or wake up at 2 am to 4 am, then the formation of this hormone will be disrupted so that affect the age of red blood cells.

Furthermore there is a cortisol hormone that arises and arises from the human feeling, which is usually stress. If cortisol in us is high, then our body is also infected with free radicals. The hormone cortisol also affects the leucocytes and decreases the immune system in humans.

So from all that we discussed, we can conclude not because the more into the coming year, the human erythrocytes weaken. But it all depends on the activities of the person. It could be from his work that forced him to memforsir body until the results can make us become unfocused again in maintaining the health of our bodies.

So for the reader, I recommend not only focus on the job, but also on our own health. With the first is to maintain the cleanliness of our environment, also pay attention to the surrounding circumstances including the air in the environment whether pollution polluted or not, because polluted air can also be the entrance of free radicals.

We also have to exercise regularly without over-exerting ourselves. Eat-a healthy and nutritious food, and certainly rich in iron for our erythrocyte health. The next thing is to avoid overtime and keep our mood always awake so as not to enter into a state of stress that interfere with the activity and health of our bodies. Avoid smoking and drinking and other unhealthy lifestyles.

Therefore, I hope the reader keeps a healthy life and spirit in doing your daily activities. I apologize also if in this writing is offensive or there is a mistake writing a word. That is my opinion about the weakening of erythrocytes in the body, thanks.
