Mitos diet rendah karbo
KOMPAS.com - Karbohidrat sering "disalahkan" sebagai penyebab tubuh gemuk. Tidak heran jika banyak orang ingin menyingkirkan jenis makanan berkarbohidrat dari menu makannya sehari-hari. Anda tertarik mencoba diet rendah karbohidrat? Sebaiknya pahami dulu prinsipnya.
Benar atau salah?
1. Sayur dan buah harus dihindari dalam diet ini, sebab keduanya mengandung karbo.
Salah. Sayur dan buah memang mengandung karbohidrat, tapi jenisnya kompleks. Artinya, tidak menggemukkan, karena indeks glikemiknya rendah. Hasil survei Journal of Nutrition menunjukkan, pelaku diet ini justru makan sayur dan buah dua kali lebih banyak. Keduanya berperan penting dalam proses penurunan berat badan.
2. Dengan mengikuti diet rendah karbo, kondisi jantung kita akan jauh lebih sehat.
Benar. Menurut riset American Journal of Epidemiology, risiko penyakit jantung berkurang hingga 30 persen jika mengurangi makanan berindeks glikemik (IG) tinggi, seperti roti dan nasi putih. Apalagi, bila kita juga mengganti sumber lemak dan protein dari daging merah menjadi sayuran.
3. Bau mulut kerap dialami mereka yang ikut diet ini.
Benar. Saat kekurangan karbo, tubuh menggunakan lemak sebagai sumber energi. Artinya, lemak yang dibakar akan lebih banyak. "Proses ini disebut ketosis, yang mendorong terbentuknya zat kimiawi bernama keton, yang menyebabkan bau tak sedap di area mulut," ujar Kenneth Burrell, DDS, dari American Dental Association.
4. Hilangnya porsi karbo dari menu membuat berat badan lebih cepat susut.
Benar. Riset dari Duke University menjelaskan, mengurangi porsi karbohidrat cukup efektif untuk menurunkan bobot. Namun, jangan menghilangkan karbo sama sekali. "Tubuh, terutama otak, tetap butuh karbohidrat agar dapat berfungsi baik. Yang diperlukan sebesar 40 persen dari total kalori harian," papar Michele Turcotte, MS, RD/LDN, dari Perfect Plate, Inc., lembaga konsultan gizi.
5. Ikut diet rendah karbo bikin kita rentan terhadap keropos tulang.
Salah. Menurut Dr John D. Carter, dari University of South Florida College of Medicine, kepadatan tulang para pelaku diet ini tak berkurang. Sebaliknya makanan tinggi protein bisa membantu mengoptimalkan penyerapan kalsium oleh tulang. Tambahkan dengan konsumsi kalsium dan vitamin D. Plus, rutin berolahraga, seperti berjalan kaki, joging, atau aerobik.

Kulit Coklat itu seksi
Kompas.com - Sementara orang Indonesia tak henti-hentinya memimpikan kulit sawo matang mereka menjadi lebih putih, para pemilik kulit putih justru berusaha membuat kulit pucat mereka jadi lebih gelap. Mayoritas orang Amerika masih menilai kulit kecokelatan (tan) sebagai sesuatu yang menarik, seksi dan terlihat sehat.
Hal itu terungkap dalam poling yang diadakan oleh American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) yang dimulai bulan Januari lalu terhadap lebih dari 7.100 pria dan wanita di Amerika Serikat.
Sekitar 72 persen responden menilai bahwa seseorang terlihat lebih menarik dengan kulit tan, sementara 66 persen menjawab orang berkulit tan terlihat lebih sehat. Sayangnya, mayoritas responden belum menyadari bahaya menjemur kulit. Sekitar 60 persen responden mengatakan sinar matahari bagus untuk kulit.
Yang menarik, meski menilai kulit tan itu menarik, namun mereka juga menyadari bahaya kanker kulit dari proses penggelapan kulit. Lebih dari 75 persen responden menjawab mereka akan melakukan perlindungan untuk melindungi kulit dari bahaya kanker. Dan 80 persen mengatakan mereka peduli pada kanker kulit dan karenanya ingin melindungi kulitnya.
Dr.Zoe D Draelos, dermatologis dan prosefor dari Duke University School of Medicine, mengatakan proses penggelapan kulit, baik yang dilakukan dengan cara berjemur langsung di bawah matahari atau menggunakan tanning beds (alat penggelap kulit) sama-sama merusak kulit. "Semua itu bisa menimbulkan kerutan, flek hitam, bahkan kanker kulit," katanya.
Ia menambahkan, teori yang menyebutkan manfaat penting vitamin D bagi kesehatan membuat banyak orang tidak menyadari bahaya lain dari sinar matahari. "Kita bisa mendapatkan vitamin D dari sumber makanan atau suplemen. Cara itu lebih sehat karena kita tetap mendapat manfaat yang sama tanpa risiko kena kanker kulit," katanya.
Dalam pedomannya, American Academy of Dermatology menyebutkan risiko terkena melanoma atau kanker kulit bisa ditekan dengan cara menghindari berbagai bentuk aktivitas penggelapan kulit, baik lewat berjemur di bawah matahari atau di tanning beds.

Yoga mampu meningkatkan rasa percaya diri
Seni yoga sering diidentikkan dengan senam. Pasalnya, yoga memang induk dari senam dan bisa berfungsi sebagai penyembuhan. Disiplin gerak bermanfaat menguatkan fisik, banyak membantu keseimbangan energi dan kenyamanan tubuh untuk kehidupan sehari-hari.
Bahkan, berlatih yoga penting untuk peremajaan sel-sel tubuh. Tak jarang praktisi yoga tampak lebih muda dari usia sesungguhnya. Tentu saja jika semua gerakan yoga dilakukan dengan benar dan teratur.
Saat berlatih, yoga memberikan relaksasi, ketenangan, kejernihan pikiran, keceriaan, rasa percaya diri, dan berkembangnya institusi. Semuanya dapat diraih melalui meditasi yoga yang dilakukan dengan mengatur napas dan sikap yoga yang sempurna.
"Saat melakukan yoga, dapat meningkatkan fungsi kerja kelenjar endrokrin di dalam tubuh. Dengan begitu meningkatkan sirkulasi darah ke seluruhan sel tubuh dan otak," kata instruktur yoga dari Glow Gym, Ading Helmi.
Secara tidak langsung akan menimbulkan perasaan tenang, nyaman dan gembira, termasuk pada tubuh gemuk. Nah saat rileks, rasa percaya diri akan meningkat. Manfaat berlatih yoga yang paling diinginkan para praktisi yoga pemula adalah tubuh sehat. (sindo/) (tty)

Beach yoga with Vinz
The devotee will not only sing spiritual songs and chants (bhajan and kiirtan). They are not seasoned devotees! Those spiritual aspirants who move speedily on the path of evolution towards the Supreme Consciousness will never be blind to the sufferings of countless people around them due to the lack of a solid social system, solid economic system and human feeling. If anyone is blind to the ill-management of the social system, they have not been able to understand the Supreme Consciousness fully. If they do so, they will have a subjective approach but not objective adjustment. But when devotees will move towards the Supreme, their approach will be "salvation for self and service to humanity." They go on moving toward the Supreme Consciousness while serving humanity. When humanity is neglected, "salvation for self" is also destroyed. Hence the devotee must be ready to serve humanity. The spiritual aspirants who do not render social service do not have real devotion. In their devotion lies selfishness. The devotees who are selfish do not attain God. Those who are devotees are workers. They will never be afraid of work. They will do maximum work.

My beloved,...
When you help someone, if you help him a great deal, then that fellow will become an invalid. So if you want to help someone, you should help him a little bit at first, then perhaps later a little more, from time to time, not all at once. Your policy should be that you will help a person in accordance with his needs, not too much, not totally helping - otherwise he will not try for his own development. You help him a little, then let him stand on his own, and he will automatically take up activities in his own spirit and with his own ideas.

With Mari Kambe, Japanese friend
In short, whatever was created in the past is the original creation (sambhu'ti) of God. The sum total of all creations is the Cosmic Order (Brahma'n'd'a). This includes the sun as well as the small ant which crawls on the earth. Whether it is a dead star or a living star, whether it is a nebula or a milky way or a galaxy - all belong to one universal family. The Milky Way is vast from one end to the other; an ant is a very small creature, but the role of both of them in maintaining the balance of the universe is equal. If one ant meets a premature death, it will disturb the balance of the entire cosmos. Therefore, nothing here is unimportant, not even an ant. Suppose, an ant is sitting on the edge of a rock and it moves even one inch from east to west, and this disturbs the balance of the rock, it may cause a big earthquake - because after all, the ant is also His original creation.
("Sambhu'ti and Maha'sambhu'ti")

Yoga & the city
Through all works, big and small, humanity has to be awakened. Humanity in its fullest sense is Divinity, and its perfection is Brahmatva (Brahmahood). The aspirant must not forget this even for a moment.
Whatever you speak or do,
Forget Him never;
Keeping His name in your heart,
Work, remembering it is for Him
And, endlessly active, drift in bliss.
Light comes, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti
Kendang & my life
Shiva himself did not invent it. He did invent ta'n'd'ava however. The inner motivation of ta'n'd'ava is the following: "Destruction is inevitable, but I will continue to fight against destruction through struggle." So there is a skull in one hand and a dagger in the other. The skull represents destruction, and the dagger represents fight. The underlying feeling is "I will not surrender to destruction or death. I will continue the struggle with this dagger."

to love the universal consciousness
The only creed of a spiritual aspirant is to love the Universal Consciousness and the creation. One must not be guided by any national, caste, linguistic or religious sentiment and must not tolerate any fissiparous tendency.
A sa'dhaka
A sa'dhaka is verily a soldier. The pricks of thorns on the difficult path signify one's progress. The collective welfare of the universe is the crowning glory of one's victory.
