Sarapan Bergizi Tingkatkan Konsentrasi Anak

Pakar gizi dari Universitas Airlangga Surabaya Prof Dr Sri Kardjati mengemukakan kebiasaan sarapan dengan mengkonsumsi makanan bergizi bagi anak-anak usia sekolah, berdampak bagus untuk meningkatkan konsentrasi dalam mengikuti pelajaran.

"Masih banyak masyarakat atau orang tua yang menyepelekan sarapan buat anak-anak, padahal sebenarnya makan pagi sebelum beraktivitas cukup membantu fisik anak-anak," katanya saat menghadiri "Pekan Sarapan Nasional" yang diselenggarakan Nestle Indonesia di Surabaya, Sabtu.

Menurut Ketua Persatuan Dokter Gizi Medik Indonesia (PDGMI) Surabaya itu, dari hasil survei yang dilakukan lembaganya, baru sekitar 60 persen anak-anak di Surabaya yang membiasakan diri sarapan, selebihnya tidak pernah sarapan.

"Dari penelitian yang dilakukan selama tiga tahun terakhir, anak-anak yang biasa sarapan dengan makanan bergizi cukup memiliki konsentrasi lebih tinggi dan nilai pelajarannya lebih bagus, terutama matematika dan IPA. Selain itu, mereka juga tidak sering mengantuk di kelas," tambah Sri Kardjati.

Ia mengakui bahwa membiasakan sarapan pada anak-anak memang tidak mudah, tetapi hal itu perlu terus diupayakan agar mereka juga tidak gampang membeli jajanan di sekolah.

"Belum tentu jajanan yang dijual di kantin sekolah atau pedagang itu bersih, higienis dan sehat. Untuk kasus seperti ini, pihak sekolah juga perlu melakukan pengawasan terhadap berbagai jajanan yang dijual di lingkungan sekolah," ujarnya.

Sebagai organisasi profesi gizi dan pangan, lanjut Sri Kardjati, PDGMI terus berupaya melakukan edukasi kepada masyarakat mengenai pentingnya sarapan sebelum beraktivitas.

Sementara itu, program "Pekan Sarapan Nasional" digelar Nestle Indonesia pada 14-20 Februari 2013 di Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Makassar, dan Medan.

"Country Business Manager Nestle Breakfast Cereal" PT Nestle Indonesia Jose Oscar Yu mengatakan, program Pekan Sarapan Nasional telah dideklarasikan pada 8 Januari 2013 oleh empat organisasi profesi ahli gizi dan pangan Indonesia, yakni Pergizi Pangan, Persagi, PDGMI, dan PDGKI.

"Melalui kegiatan ini, kami berharap semakin banyak masyarakat yang memahami pentingnya sarapan bergizi, terutama anak-anak usia sekolah, sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas anak Indonesia menjadi lebih sehat dan berprestasi," tuturnya.

Kelelawar Membawa 60 Virus Berbahaya yang Bisa Menginfeksi Manusia

Siapa tak kenal Batman, sosok superhero berwujud manusia kelelawar? Selain Batman, kelelawar juga identik dengan drakula, monster penghisap darah. Ternyata hewan ini memang bisa dikategorikan sebagai makhluk berbahaya. Ada 60 lebih virus di dalamnya yang bisa menginfeksi manusia.

Beberapa virus dari hewan bisa melompat ke manusia dan menyebabkan penyakit. Sebelumnya, tikus dianggap sebagai hewan yang paling berbahaya karena pernah memicu wabah pes yang melenyapkan separuh populasi Eropa di abad pertengahan. Namun hasil penelitian menemukan kelelawar lebih berbahaya.

"Sepertinya ada sesuatu yang berbeda mengenai kelelawar dalam hal kemampuannya menjadi inang infeksi zoonosis (penyakit manusia yang ditularkan dari hewan)," kata peneliti, David Hayman, ahli epidemiologi satwa liar dari Colorado State University (CSU) seperti dilansir LiveScience, Jumat (8/2/2013).

Para peneliti membandingkan kemampuan tikus dan kelelawar dalam hal menjadi inang berbagai jenis virus. Caranya dengan menganalisa data semua virus yang diidentifikasi berasal dalam hewan. Peneliti menemukan ada 179 virus yang bisa menghuni tikus, sebanyak 68 di antaranya bisa ditularkan ke manusia.

Pada kelelawar, ada 137 virus yang bisa menghuni dan 61 di antaranya bisa ditularkan ke manusia. Walau lebih sedikit, namun jika dihitung rata-rata per spesies, kelelawar lebih banyak dihuni virus. Satu kelelawar rata-rata dihuni 1,79 virus yang bisa menyerang manusia, sedangkan pada tikus hanya 1,48 virus.

Penelitian yang dimuat jurnal Proceeding of Royal Society B ini juga menemukan kelelawar lebih banyak berbagi virus ketimbang tikus. Satu virus rata-rata menginfeksi 4,51 spesies kelelawar, sementara satu virus tikus menginfeksi rata-rata 2,76 spesies tikus. Penyebabnya karena kelelawar tinggal amat berdekatan dengan jutaan kelelawar lain.

Selain itu, kelelawar memiliki masa hidup lebih lama ketimbang tikus, memiliki massa tubuh yang lebih besar, ukuran kotoran yang kecil dan lebih lama membawa virus berbahaya. Yang mengkhawatirkan, ada banyak virus dalam kotoran kelelawar yang sampai saat ini belum dapat diidentifikasi.

"Meskipun manusia jarang melakukan kontak langsung dengan kelelawar, virus dari hewan ini dapat menginfeksi manusia lewat kontak dengan hewan peliharaan yang terinfeksi, misalnya kuda, sapi dan kucing. Kebanyakan wabah rabies pada manusia jika dirunut dapat berasal dari kelelawar, begitu pula penularan virus Nipah dan Hendra," kata Jamie Childs, pakar epdemi dari Yale University.

Cegah Kanker Prostat dengan Tomat Rebus

Kanker prostat adalah penyakit kanker yang berkembang di prostat, sebuah kelenjar dalam sistem reproduksi lelaki. Hal ini terjadi ketika sel prostat mengalami mutasi dan mulai berkembang di luar kendali. Sel ini dapat menyebar secara metastasis dari prostat ke bagian tubuh lainnya, terutama tulang dan lymph node. Kanker prostat dapa menimbulkan rasa sakit, kesulitan buang air kecil, disfungsi erektil dan gejala lainnya.
Jumlah kanker prostat sangat bervariasi di dunia. Namun jarang terjadi di Asia Timur dan Selatan; sering terjadi di Eropa dan Amerika Serikat.^[1] Menurut American Cancer Society, kanker prostat paling jarang di pria Asia dan paling sering terjadi di orang hitam, dan orang Eropa di tengahnya.^[2]
Pada penderita ditemukan rasio plasma vitamin B12 yang sangat rendah.^[3]

Untuk mencegah kanker prostat adalah dengan cara mengonsumsi tomat. Tomat yang direbus hingga lembek dan menyerupai bubur ternyata merupakan bahan pangan yang mampu mencegah terjadinya kanker prostat.

"Tomat yang direbus lama hingga menjadi setengah bubur merupakan sumber likopen terbaik," ungkap pakar gizi Dr. Samuel Oetoro, MS, SpGK, di Jakarta, Rabu.

Likopen adalah salah satu zat yang terdapat dalam warna sayur dan buah, yang memiliki fungsi untuk mencegah kanker prostat.

"Likopen akan muncul saat tomat direbus hingga lembek seperti bubur, karena zat ini terletak pada inti buah tomat," jelas Samuel. Ikatan inti pada buah tomat tidak akan terlepas pada saat dikonsumsi secara mentah.

"Memang, bila direbus kandungan vitamin c, betakaroten, dan lainnya akan hilang. Namun tomat menjadi istimewa karena kandungan likopen. Vitamin dan betakaroten bisa didapat dari sayur dan buah lainnya," kata Samuel.

Oleh sebab itu Samuel menganjurkan untuk mengkonsumsi setidaknya lima jenis sayur dan buah dengan aneka warna setiap harinya. Lebih lanjut Samuel memaparkan bahwa karotenoid seperti likopen tidak akan terserap usus tanpa bantuan minyak.

"Maka campurlah 'bubur' tomat dengan sesendok minyak canola atau minyak zaitun. Dua minyak ini jauh lebih sehat dibandingkan minyak sayur lainnya," jelas Samuel.

Karena obesitas telah menjadi problem mendunia, salah satu konsekuensi seriusnya adalah –penyakit Diabetes tipe 2- juga menjadi pandemi. Dan terdapat kekhawatiran yang meningkat sehubungan dengan penyakit-penyakit yang berhubungan dengan diabetes, termasuk penyakit mata, karena jika dibiarkan tanpa perawatan, bisa menyebabkan kebutaan.
Susan Viitale adalah ahli epidemiologi yang menemukan kecendrungan global yang berbahaya ini. “Ini adalah kecenderungan yang menakutkan melihat jumlah yang terus meningkat dan masalah penglihatan juga meningkat karena diabetes,” kata Viitale seperti dilansir voaindonesia.com.
Penyebab utama kebutaan karena diabetes ini adalah kondisi yang disebut diabetic retinopathy.
Ini disebabkan oleh pembuluh darah di retina, bagian mata yang mengubah cahaya menjadi impuls-impuls saraf yang membuat kita bisa melihat. Pada sebagian orang, pembuluh-pembuluh darah itu membengkak dan bocor, dan ada juga yang mengalami pertumbuhan pembuluh darah abnormal di permukaan retina. Kebanyakan penderita diabetic retinopathy ini tidak menyadari hal ini sampai pandangan mereka menjadi kabur.
“Perubahan terjadi sedikit demi sedikit, dan itu tidak berdampak pada penglihatan. Kita mungkin tidak merasakan apa-apa awalnya, sampai kita merasakan ada sesuatu yang tidak beres, dan saat itu penyakit itu mungkin sudah sangat parah,” papar Viitale.
Jerry Fishman menderita diabetic retinopathy. Ia mengatakan kedua retinanya membengkak sebegitu besarnya sehingga membuatnya tidak mungkin untuk melihat dengan jelas.
Dr. David Friedman dari Johns Hopkins School of Medicine di Baltimore memimpin studi mengenai kebutaan dari tahun 1999 sampai 2002 dan dari 2005 hingga 2008. Ia mengatakan, “Faktor utama penyebab meningkatnya kebutaan adalah apabila seorang menderita diabetes selama 10 tahun atau lebih.”
Para peneliti itu juga melihat pada data yang menunjukkan bahwa orang mulai mengidap diabetes pada usia yang lebih muda.

What Is Nutrition For The Elderly

What Is Nutrition For The Elderly.
Healthy eating and nutrition for the elderly is
greatly impacted by several factors, one of them
being a change in body composition.  During the
later years in life, the body will lose bone and
muscle and gain fat because the hormones aren't
very active anymore.

There are many factors which hinder an elderly
person's health.  The information below will help
you to lead a healthy life - no matter how old you
may be.

Water
Water in the body decreases with age, so many older
folks will become dehydrated very easily.  Sometimes
they won't feel thirsty, while other times it's
too much work to pour a glass a water.  With this
in mind, it's recommended that they drink at least
1 ounce of water for every 2.2 pounds of weight.

Protein
At this stage in life, protein is very important.
Protein is needed to support a healthy immune
system and prevent the wasting of muscle.  Since
energy needs are less, older folks should eat high
quality protein such as eggs, lean meats, poulty,
and fish.

Carbs and fiber
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for
the entire body.  You can find carbs in bread,
cereals, pasta, and other grain products.  A diet
that's high in fiber and water will help to
prevent constipation as well.

Fat
Fat intake for the elderly should be limited, not
eliminated.  You can limit fat by choosing lean meats,
low fat dairy products, and food preperation
methods that don't include frying.

Iron
For the elderly, iron deficiency can be seen with
those who aren't eating much.  Good sources for
iron include lean red meats or breakfast cereals.

Zinc
Zinc intake is normally with the elderly, and to
make matters worse, it's not absorbed very well
either.  Meat, poultry, and fish should be a part
of your diet to help you meet the requirements for
zinc.

Calcium
Calcium is one ingredient that most elderly folks
simply aren't getting enough of.  Most believe
that milk upsets their stomach, and therefore they
will avoid it.  They should be getting around 1,500
mg of calcium a day, and nonfat powdered milk can
be used in recipes as a substitute for milk.  Other
foods such as yogurt, low fat cheese, and broccoli
can also help you meet the requirements for calcium.

Vitamin B12
In order to absorb the benefits of B12, the intrinsic
facotr must be produced by the stomach.  Most elderly
people suffer from a deficiency in B12 because they
have a condition known as atrophic gastritis.  This
condition causes inflammation of the stomach,
bacterial overgrowth, and the intrinsic factor.
Without the intrinsic factor, this vitamin can be
absorbed.

Each one of the above nutrients are needed to keep
an aged body in good health.  Elderly individuals
should try to stay active and strive for a well
balanced diet.  Even though the aged body isn't the
same as it used to be, proper care and the right
nutrients can help the elderly enjoy a healthy and
long life.

Kebiasaan Buruk Ini Dapat Menyebabkan Gatal-gatal pada Vagina

Jika Anda sering mengalami beberapa masalah pada vagina, seperti gatal-gatal atau meningkatnya debit cairan vagina hingga menyebabkan bau yang tidak menyenangkan, Anda mungkin perlu mengubah kebiasaan Anda yang tidak sehat.

Kondisi tersebut merupakan gejala infeksi jamur pada vagina yang disebabkan oleh pertumbuhan jamur jenis Candida albicans yang berlebihan dalam vagina. Seperti dilansir everydayhealth, Selasa (12/2/2013) segera ubah kebiasaan buruk yang dapat menyebabkan infeksi jamur pada vagina, berikut ini:

1. Diet karbohidrat sederhana

Diet tinggi makanan yang mengandung karbohidrat sederhana, seperti gula, tepung putih, permen, cookies, kue, dan soda, dapat menyebabkan vagina gatal, bau, dan gejala lain dari infeksi jamur pada vagina. Satu teori menyatakan kadar glukosa yang tinggi memudahkan jamur lebih mudah menempel pada sel-sel dalam vagina.

Teori lain menyatakan bahwa kadar glukosa mempengaruhi respon kekebalan vagina. Ketika kadar glukosa dalam darah meningkat, sistem kekebalan dalam vagina akan menurun dan tidak mampu melawan infeksi jamur sebagaimana mestinya.

2. Suka pakai celana ketat

Mengenakan celana jeans super ketat atau pakaian yang terbuat dari bahan yang tidak dapat menyerap keringat, dapat membuat area di sekitar vagina lembab akibat sirkulasi udara yang tidak lancar. Jamur penyebab infeksi jamur dapat berkembang dengan sempurna jika lingkungan di sekitar vagina lembab dan gelap.

Beralihlah ke pakaian yang terbuat dari bahan katun untuk memungkinkan aliran udara yang lebih baik pada vagina. Selain itu, segera ganti pakaian dalam Anda yang basah oleh keringat setelah berolahraga agar tidak memicu tumbuhnya jamur.

3. Kurang tidur

Buruknya kualitas tidur dapat melemahkan sistem kekebalan tubuh seseorang, sehingga penting bagi wanita untuk meningkatkan kualitas tidurnya agar terhindar dari berbagai masalah kesehatan, termasuk infeksi jamur. Sistem kekebalan tubuh yang lemah dapat mengganggu kestabilan pH vagina dan menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung pertumbuhan jamur.

4. Stres

Stres merupakan salah satu penyebab utama menurunnya sistem kekebalan tubuh, sehingga wanita yang mengalami stres lebih mungkin mengembangkan infeksi jamur. Untuk mengurangi kemungkinan tersebut serta menurunkan dampak berbahaya stres terhadap risiko kesehatan lainnya, segera atasi stres dengan meditasi, yoga, dan olahraga teratur.

5. Menggunakan cairan pembersih vagina

Infeksi jamur juga dapat dipicu oleh penggunaan tisu, pantyliners, atau cairan pembersih vagina yang mengandung pewangi. Hal ini dapat mengubah keseimbangan pH pada vagina serta mengurangi bakteri alami tubuh yang membantu pertumbuhan melawan jamur.

Produk-produk tersebut juga dapat mengiritasi kulit di sekitar vagina. Akan lebih baik jika Anda mencuci vagina dengan sabun lembut dan air hangat, kemudian keringkan vagina dengan handuk kering yang bersih.

6. Konsumsi obat-obatan tertentu

Konsumsi obat-obatan tertentu seperti kontrasepsi oral, antibiotik, dan steroid juga dapat memiliki efek samping infeksi jamur. Meskipun antibiotik dapat membunuh bakteri penyebab penyakit, antibiotik juga dapat membunuh bakteri baik yang memiliki sifat antijamur, sehingga memberikan lebih banyak ruang bagi jamur untuk tumbuh.

Steroid dapat menyebabkan infeksi jamur karena menurunkan sistem kekebalan alami tubuh. Jika Anda mengembangkan infeksi jamur saat mengambil obat tertentu, berbicara dengan dokter untuk mendapatkan resep lain tanpa risiko yang sama.
