Habis Minum Soda Idealnya Lari 1 Jam Nonstop Biar Tak Gemuk

Jakarta, Minuman bersoda biasanya diminum sebagai teman bersantai, sambil nonton TV atau sekedar duduk-duduk. Kebiasaan ini jelas bikin gemuk, sebab kandungan kalori dalam sekaleng soda sebenarnya cukup untuk lari-lari selama 1 jam nonstop.

Sekaleng minuman bersoda rata-rata mengandung 250 kalori, setara dengan 10 persen kebutuhan kalori setiap hari atau kurang lebih sama dengan kebutuhan untuk lari selama 1 jam nonstop. Jumlah kalori sebesar ini sangat mudah bikin seseorang cepat gemuk.

Sayangnya selama ini kemasan minuman bersoda hanya mencantumkan jumlah kalori dalam bentuk angka, sehingga konsumen kurang menyadari seberapa besar angka tersebut. Tidak ada satupun yang mencantumkan kesetaraannya dengan aktivitas tertentu misalnya lari selama 1 jam nonstop.

Menurut Dr Sarah Bleich dari John Hopkins University, konsumen cenderung kurang menyadari bahaya di balik kandungan kalori dalam minuman bersoda ketika jumlah kalorinya hanya ditulis dalam bentuk angka. Jika ditulis dengan aktivitas lain yang setara, konsumen cenderung lebih sadar.

Untuk membuktikan hal itu, ia melakukan eksperimen terdahap sejumlah mahasiswa yang hobi minum minuman bersoda. Masing-masing partisipan mendapat sekaleng minuman bersoda dengan 3 kemasan berbeda berdasarkan cara mencantumkan jumlah kalorinya.

Kemasan pertama adalah kemasan standar, yang hanya mencantumkan jumlah kalori yakni rata-rata 250 kalori. Kemasan berikutnya ada 2 jenis, yakni menyebutkan bahwa kalorinya setara dengan 10 persen kebutuhan kalori tiap hari dan setara dengan aktivitas lari selama 1 jam nonstop.

Hasilnya, kebiasaan minum soda berkurang 40 persen ketika partisipan mendapat kemasan yang mengatakan kalorinya setara dengan 10 persen kebutuhan kalori tiap hari. Sedangkan ketika disebutkan jenis aktivitas yang setara dengan kandungan kalorinya, kebiasaan minum soda turun hingga 50 persen.

Bagi para pakar kesehatan, minuman bersoda mendapat perhatian khusus karena sangat populer di kalangan anak muda. Dikutip dari Dailymail, Minggu (18/12/2011), kandungan gulanya yang tingi berisiko memicu kegemukan, risiko sakit jantung dan juga diatebes atau kencing manis.

Kenapa Jatuh Cinta Bikin Orang Tidak Nafsu Makan?

Jakarta, Saat jatuh cinta maka berbagai perasaan bercampur jadi satu sehingga dikenal dengan istilah berjuta rasanya. Salah satu hal yang dirasakan orang saat jatuh cinta adalah tidak nafsu makan, kenapa begitu?

Ketika sedang merasakan jatuh cita, seseorang akan mengalami perubahan kondisi hormonal yang membuat suasana hatinya bergejolak tidak karuan. Tidak hanya dari fluktuasi suasana hati, perubahan hormonal ini juga bisa diamati dari kondisi fisik.

Para ilmuwan mengungkapkan bahwa pusat kesenangan di otak akan menyala ketika seseorang sedang jatuh cinta sehingga membuat orang seperti mabuk kepayang dan memiliki kegembiraan.

Ahli saraf menjelaskan orang yang tengah dimabuk asmara ini akan mengaktifkan bagian otak yang memicu terjadinya pelepasan hormon dopamin, feromon, norepinefrin atau adrenalin dan juga serotonin.

Zat kimia yang dilepaskan oleh tubuh akan akan membuat seseorang merasa sangat gembira, denyut jantung meningkat, sulit tidur dan yang pasti tidak nafsu makan, seperti dikutip dari MedIndia, Sabtu (17/12/2011).

Selain itu ketika sedang jatuh cinta maka seseorang akan memikirkan orang lain yang dicintainya sehingga membuat seseorang terasa sulit menelan makanan yang membuatnya jadi tidak nafsu makan.

Meski begitu orang yang jatuh cinta tidak kekurangan energi meski ia tidak nafsu makan karena tubuh berada dalam taraf energi yang tinggi akibat pelepasan dopamin dan zat kimia lain. Tingkat energi yang tinggi ini juga membuat orang jadi sulit tidur dan selalu memikirkan orang yang dicintainya.

Reaksi-reaksi yang terjadi di tubuh ketika sedang jatuh cinta ini bisa mempengaruhi suasana hati menjadi lebih baik, membuat tubuh lebih waspada serta memudahkan terjalinnya kedekatan emosi dengan orang lain.

Sementara itu efek lain yang muncul di tubuh ketika seseorang sedang jatuh cinta adalah adanya perasaan tergila-gila, mabuk kepayang, kreatif dan gembira yang memberi efek positif.

Tapi efek positif ini akan menjadi tidak sehat dan berbahaya ketika jatuh cinta berubah menjadi obsesi atau sangat ketergantungan dengan perasaan sehingga timbul rasa tidak bisa hidup tanpa seseorang.

Go Green

Assalamualaikum Wr Wb.

With all due respect to the honorable judges, to the teacher from all Senior High Schools in Bekasi, and all the audience here, ladies and gentlemen… Good Morning!!

First of all, let us thank Allah SWT because of his blessings, we all can gather here on this sunny morning. Shalawat and prayer, we will say to our greatest prophet Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends and his followers. Amen.

In this chance, I would like to tell you my speech that has the theme “Go Green!”
Saving Our Planet is a program that was persuading the earthlings so that they would become more concern and care to their entire environment. It was because the civilization that has been created by the modern people in this millennium era had affected so many destructive impacts which are really needed to be concerned. These impacts are causing a new problem, The “Global Warming”. In prediction, that in the last 100 years the temperatures of our planet has increased by 1’ every year. Meanwhile, the ocean surface has increased for about 1 meter from its former level. The problem is, modern people not only wanted to increase their prosperity, but also increase their rate of comfortable & luxurious life.

The situation was very different if we looked back to the last century where the pollution, the industrial garbage, and the toxin gases were friendlier. Friendlier, because on the 19th Century the technologies improvement and the consumerism character was not yet significant. Or should we say in this millennium era, the Earth exploitation and exploration were causing the crucial problem for the earthlings.

How crucial the earth environmental problems we face are for example: The protected animals & plants from certain species nearly extinct, the plantation sector is causing another problem for environment & ecosystem, forest logging without reboization, and the impact of mines exploitation that cannot be recycled and maintenance of mine sector, etc. For us, the youth generation is asking to the politicians and the government especially in Indonesia, “Why do those problems I mentioned left uncared without any preventive actions?” In fact, our ex-Minister of Environment of “Orde Baru” era Prof. Dr. Emil Salim has warned and gave us an opinion about will happen on the next 20 years. He said that the situation will be dangerous if there are no actions to prevent this. We need the proactive steps to maintain the nature and to rehabilitee what we have disrupted from every department that is connected with the environmental cases and our community. The example about the impact of human’s greed to the nature is The Lapindo Brantas case. That’s how the nature shows us their power. There’s not even one human could stand against the power of nature. Until now, there are no ways to stop the mud throwing and even the poisonous gases that is unwanted by the people.

We as the khalifah of the Earth can only begging, begging, and begging to the nature and destroy the nature. But when we must give something to the nature or maintain the nature, we feel that we don’t want to! Is the nature retaliating our doings? When we think deeply over this I guess the answer is “yes”, the nature is angry to us. The nature’s balance was really disturbed by the mortal’s hands and this behavior has spread widely over the world because of our hedonism.

The question is “How”? How do we realize collectively for the world’s life so that so that the Earth could become a better place to live…?

We as the youth generations, the lines of the civilization must be as one to create the vision & mission to help the government and the people for watching over the reboization program and for the environment reparation that is caused by the industrialist and the people generally wherever they are. We as the youth generation without exception must be totally devote our bodies & wills for the sake of healthy world, comfortable world, and for the sake of better place to live…

I suggest to the government and the people of Indonesia to plant the cambium plants or the pot plants on every one of the house garden. Everyone, every people must be responsible for every single of plants. Imagine! If every people have 1 plant in one house, there are 200 millions of plants in Indonesia. This is a very good step to begin our mission to prevent the Global Warming. Start this on any time now! For my recommendation, the sansivieras (one of the most beautiful pot plant) is really good to kept because of its great use of anti-pollutant & anti-free radical. Besides, its beauty will decorate our house so that we won’t feel bad to buy it.

Well, I guess that’s all I can tell. In the end, to show our devotion as the youngish, the lines to the future, we must be balanced it with faith and taqwa because those are our capitol to realize our wishes so that we can live in perfect harmony just as Allah SWT has confirmed to us.

Plants, people, animals and the environment are interdependence. Plants need a good environment for growing, animals need plants to eat, and human need everything to survive. Everything went as usual until the human who destroying it. No one of living things on the earth who can destroying it except the human.

Globalization may already be familiar to you . Globalization can accelerate the rate of economy anywhere. Technology developed over the years become a tool that can easily human works. Even to support it many new technologies are born for example a computer. Unfortunately, the speed of current technological improvement not followed by protecting awareness of surrounding environment. Massive oil drilling caused by the human vehicle is increasing along with increasing human populations from year to year. Finally, the waste produced from the vehicles, become one of the main factors polluted air around us. A lot of environmental damage that we often hear, for example, global warming ,acid rain, greenhouse effect, environmental pollution and so on.

The greenhouse effect caused by excessive carbon dioxide gas and causes global warming makes the earth hotter. The next phenomenon is acid rain, although it can prevent global warming but acid rain is more dangerous. humans are the main causes ! Start From now let's keep our environment for our grandchildren one day later. because no matter how small work you do, will be felt by our children and grandchildren one day later.

This is enough from me . sorry if there was a mistake, thank you for your attention
