Oxidative stress is a condition where there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in the body which can trigger psychological stress. Oxidative stress can be reduced by consuming exogenous antioxidants (antioxidants from outside), where green tea is thought to be able to reduce oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of steeping green tea on blood glucose and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in male Wistar Strain white rats exposed to psychological stress. The design used in this research was Randomized Post Test Only Group Design. There were 5 groups of mice; 2 are a normal control group and a stress control group, and 3 treatment groups. Previously, the mice were given psychological stress 1 x 24 hours in the form of disturbed sleep patterns, so that the experimental animals experienced oxidative stress, then green tea was given to the treatment group with a single dose of 3.6 ml/head in the 1st hour in the group. treatment 1, 6th hour in treatment group 2, and 24th hour in treatment group 3. Statistical analysis used the Manova test.  Based on statistical analysis, it shows that there was a decrease in blood glucose and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in all treatment groups given exposure to psychological stress and steeping green tea.  A single dose of green tea brewing in experimental animals experiencing oxidative stress was proven to be able to neutralize oxidative stress in the 1st hour after administration of green tea brewing and the antioxidant activity still lasted up to 24 hours.

High blood pressure, marked by a sustained rise in arterial pressure, poses a complex medical challenge with diverse origins. Internal factors like gender, age, and heredity, combined with external elements such as obesity, unhealthy habits, and stress, contribute to its development. The aging process in elderly individuals often results in reduced adaptive capacity, making them more susceptible to various ailments, including hypertension. To address this issue, Therapeutic Touch is explored as a non-pharmacological intervention, utilizing touch energy to modulate the nervous system and hormonal responses, thereby restoring energy balance and reducing pain and blood pressure levels. This study investigates the impact of Therapeutic Touch on blood pressure reduction in hypertensive elderly individuals in Balung Village, Kendit District, Situbondo Regency, using an experimental design with a one-group pre- and post-test setup. The research involves the entire hypertensive elderly population of Balung Village (32 individuals), with 30 participants selected through purposive sampling for a six-session Therapeutic Touch intervention over two weeks. Data collection employs observation sheets with coded responses, revealing a significant post-intervention shift towards normal blood pressure. Statistical analysis, using the Wilcoxon signed test (p-value: 0.000 ? ? 0.005), supports the acceptance of the  hypothesis. In conclusion, Therapeutic Touch proves effective in reducing blood pressure among elderly individuals with hypertension, operating through mechanisms influencing nerves, hormones, and overall body relaxation.

Hypertension is the medical definition of high blood pressure. This condition can cause various complications and even death. There are several risk factors that can cause hypertension such as stress levels and poor dietary habits. Objective: to determine the relationship between stress and diet with the incidence of hypertension at the bakti tin hospital in karimun.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin and is characterized by hyperglycemia. Tests to diagnose diabetes include fasting blood sugar (FBS), random blood sugar (RBS) , blood sugar 2 hours after eating (GD2PP) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C). Purple sweet potato is a non-pharmacological therapy that has a high fiber content, low glycemic index carbohydrates. Dietary foods containing antioxidants, including anthocyanins, can protect pancreatic β-cells from glucose-induced oxidative stress. Administration of purple sweet potato extract can protect pancreatic β-cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. Study shows that purple sweet potato have different glucose level according to how the sweet potato being processed which is  boiled, steamed, grilled and fried purple sweet potato, namely 3.30%, 4.92%, 7.72%, and 7.36%, respectively. So it can be concluded that the lowest glucose content was obtained from the boiled purple sweet potato sample. Anthocyanins that found in purple sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas poiret) contain substances  that can control blood sugar levels, thus preventing insulin resistance in people with diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this program for the resident of Kavling Senjulung RT 02 RW 09 is to know  about non-pharmacological prevention of diabetes and start applying it to control blood sugar for people with diabetes mellitus.
