Misteri Cinta di Tatapan Mata

Misteri Cinta di Tatapan Mata Sebagian besar pria menganggap pikiran wanita adalah misteri yang tak terpecahkan, terutama dalam hal perasaan cinta. Permainan menebak-nebak perasaan pun akhirnya dilakukan. Padahal sebenarnya, perasaan wanita sangat tergambar melalui pergerakan mata dan tatapannya.

Tak percaya? Lihat saja hasil analisis Ali Campbell penulis buku "More than Just Sex". Ia mencari tahu bagaimana dan kapan wanita akan tertarik pada seorang pria, dan seberapa besar peluang seorang pria dalam hal mendapatkan cintanya hanya dengan melihat tatapan mata.

Apa yang terjadi pada 45 detik setelah saling menatap, pria bisa langsung mengetahui apakah wanita incarannya juga tertarik atau tidak tertarik. Campbell mengungkap, saat seorang wanita menatap seorang pria, lalu mengalihkan matanya ke arah bawah dan gerakan matanya seperti menyapu lantai, hampir pasti ada ketertarikan.

"Sekilas, ini berarti wanita sedang memeriksa emosi internalnya. Dia sudah tahu kalau dia menyukai pria yang dilihatnya, tapi belum tahu seberapa besar rasa suka tersebut," kata Campbell, seperti dikutip dari MailOnline.

Gerakan mata dan tatapan ini, bisa dijadikan petunjuk efektif bagi pria saat ingin mendekati wanita. Lalu, jika seorang wanita berpaling sampai 45 detik dan kemudian menatap mata pria secara langsung di bagian mata, itu merupakan tanda pasti bahwa dia tertarik. Tatapan langsungnya menunjukkan kalau ia sedang berpikir keras tentang apakah pria yang dilihatnya bisa jadi pasangan yang cocok atau tidak.

"Sebagian besar pria beranggapan, saat mereka melakukan kontak mata dengan wanita lalu matanya berpaling, tandanya si wanita tak tertarik. Padahal itulah yang terjadi juga pada pria, ketika sedang mempertimbangkan perasaan," kata ujar Campbell.

Lalu, bagaimana tatapan mata wanita saat tak tertarik? Yaitu, setelah ditatap seorang pria, mata wanita secara cepat melihat ke arah atas kepala atau menatap arah belakang sang pria. Saat mendapat reaksi ini, sebaiknya pria mundur teratur, karena menurut Campbell merupakan pertanda buruk.

Pria Playboy Liat dari Parfum

Pria Playboy Liat dari Parfum Sebuah klub striptease di Afrika Selatan meluncurkan parfum khusus bagi para pria yang bermaksud mengelabui istri atau pasangan. Alih-alih mencurigai pasangan menghabiskan malam di klub, parfum mencipta aroma yang memberi kesan pria bersangkutan baru saja lembur di kantor.

Klub malam 'Maverick' di Cape Town meluncurkan tiga jenis parfum dan cologne bermerek KNXV khusus pria untuk membantu melancarkan kebohongan mereka. Selain aroma 'kantor',  ada pula yang beraroma 'mobil mogok', yaitu campuran aroma bahan bakar dan karet.

Satu botol parfum unik ini dijual £24 setara Rp335 ribu per botol. Klub striptease di Cape Town mengklaim, wewangian mereka telah dipesan negara-negara dari Asia dan Eropa.

Pemilik klub, Shane Harrison berkata, "Pria tampaknya putus asa untuk berbohong," katanya seperti dikutip dari Metro. Selain dua aroma ini, ada pula aroma tradisional bagi pria yang berselingkuh.

Tapi, banyak juga kritikan terhadap parfum unik ini. Margy Bons dari Homefront Operation mengatakan, wewangian bukanlah berarti wanita tak dapat mengendus kecurangan pasangan. "Jika seorang suami pulang pukul satu dini hari, Saya tak peduli. Anda bisa memakai semua alibi yang ada dan kami akan mencari tahu semua alibi." ujarnya.

Nokia Lumia 610 berbasis Android

Nokia Lumia 610 berbasis Android Nokia boleh mendominasi pasar ponsel fitur, dengan produk yang hanya mengandalkan fitur dasar komunikasi, yaitu suara dan SMS. Tapi, kemajuan teknologi mobile menjadikan smartphone mulai dianggap penting bagi produsen ponsel, termasuk Nokia.

Saat ini, Nokia masih tertinggal dari Apple dan Samsung, di pasar smartphone. Apple berjaya dengan kesuksesan iPhone, sedangkan Samsung mengandalkan sistem operasi Android yang sukses meningkatkan penjualannya.

Tapi Nokia kemudian menggaet Microsoft, dan mulai serius menggarap Windows Phone. Dengan sejumlah seri Lumia, Nokia pun berharap bisa kembali berbicara di persaingan pasar smartphone.

Mengutip TechCrunch, segmen low-end tetap dianggap penting di pasar smartphone. Ini yang menjadikan produsen banyak yang menggunakan Android, sebab dengan sistem operasi gratisan dari Google ini, produsen bisa menjual produknya dengan harga murah.

Apakah Nokia akan menyasar segmen smartphone murah? Jawabannya mungkin iya. Di Mobile World Congress kemarin, Nokia pun memperkenalkan Lumia 610, Windows Phone yang akan dibanderol seharga 189 Euro atau US$ 250.

Tapi, Executive Vice President Nokia, Niklas Savander, mengatakan harga itu masih kurang murah. "Kami bersaing dengan Android," ujar Savander, saat wawancara dengan Pocket-Lint.

"Android ada di berbagai pasar dengan harga sekitar 100 Euro (atau sekitar US$ 131). Dengan Lumia 610 seharga 189 Euro, kami harus bekerja untuk menciptakan produk low-end untuk pengguna smartphone pemula," ucap Savander.

Lumia 610 sendiri memiliki spesifikasi yang terbatas. Smartphone berukuran 3,7 inch (800x480p) ini dilengkapi prosesor Qualcomm 800MHz, namun dengan RAM hanya 256 MB. Kesan murah pun terlihat dari casing yang terbuat dari plastik.

Walau begitu, Nokia dan Microsoft tetap harus membuktikan keunggulan Windows Phone. Dengan demikian, Nokia pun tetap bisa membuktikan diri sebagai pemain yang dihitungkan di pasar smartphone, baik itu low-end atau high-end

Tipe Wanita Pembelanja

Tipe Wanita Pembelanja Rasanya, tak ada perempuan yang tak suka berbelanja. Namun seperti ketika kita memiliki selera yang berbeda tentang apa yang dibeli, kita pun memiliki cara yang berbeda dalam mendapatkan barang tersebut. Jika Anda mengaku sebagai a big shopper, enam kategori di bawah ini mungkin berlaku untuk Anda:

The One-Store Shopper. Anda hanya akan browsing di satu butik saja, tak peduli apa pun yang Anda inginkan. Anda setia dengan satu atau dua merek saja atau dengan toko tertentu saja, dan betah berlama-lama di dalam butik tersebut untuk membeli atasan, jeans, sepatu, jaket, tas, atau aksesori lainnya.

The Bargain-Hunter. Anda sangat menikmati pusat pertokoan yang mirip gang senggol, asalkan Anda bisa menawar harga sepuasnya. Anda terbiasa blusukan di pertokoan di kawasan Tanah Abang, atau ITC untuk mendapatkan harga terbaik, dan hafal dimana letak toko-toko langganan Anda. Anda begitu pintar merayu, hingga seringkali pemilik tokonya turun tangan menghadapi Anda untuk memberikan harga khusus. Selain itu Anda juga termasuk pemburu diskon di department store. Asalkan diskon cukup besar Anda pasti akan membeli barang tersebut, tak peduli apakah Anda membutuhkannya atau tidak.

The Buying-Things-Without-Trying-Them-On Shopper. Seringkali karena malas menunggu antrian di fitting room, Anda memutuskan untuk langsung membeli barang tanpa mencobanya lebih dulu. Anda juga tak ragu-ragu menggunakan kartu kredit untuk membayar barang yang cukup mahal, dan tidak merasa sayang karena harus berhutang dalam waktu lama. Akibatnya, lemari pakaian Anda dipenuhi baju-baju yang tidak terpakai, karena meskipun muat di badan, pakaian-pakaian tersebut tidak layak dipakai. Entah karena belahan dadanya terlalu rendah, potongan di ketiak terlalu sempit, atau bagian bahu yang terasa tidak nyaman.

The Online Shopper. Karena sudah merasakan asyiknya berbelanja secara online, Anda makin yakin bahwa kebanyakan online store dapat diandalkan. Anda merasa nyaman dengan cara berbelanja ini, karena menghemat waktu dan uang, dan tidak repot. Online shopper sendiri terdiri atas beberapa tipe: orang yang memang malas berbelanja dan bertransaksi di toko, orang yang termakan iklan (karena begitu melihat katalog langsung tertarik berbelanja karena takut kehabisan), dan orang yang ingin membeli barang-barang yang unik atau enggak pasaran, yang hanya tersedia di toko-toko online.

The Thrift Shopper. Anda suka mendatangi acara garage sale untuk mendapatkan barang-barang bekas berkualitas dengan harga murah. Entah itu pakaian, sepatu, buku-buku, alat olahraga, juga perabotan atau alat-alat rumah tangga. Namun ada juga orang yang justru menyukai barang-barang yang terlihat sudah dipakai, misalnya perabotan dari kayu jati.

The Emotional Shopper. Nah, Anda tentu paling paham siapa yang dimaksud dengan pembelanja emosional. Mungkin Anda termasuk di dalamnya. Anda menganggap aktivitas berbelanja mampu mengusir stres dengan cepat. Anda merasa langsung ingin ke mal dan pulang membawa sepatu baru, ketika sesuatu yang buruk terjadi pada Anda. Anda baru putus dengan kekasih, jenuh dengan pekerjaan yang seolah tak ada habisnya, atau tak tahan berada di rumah karena kakak atau adik sering bertengkar dengan ibu Anda. Untuk mengatasi semua masalah itu, Anda merasa berbelanja jalan keluar satu-satunya.

Cara Hitung Kalori

APABILA Anda tahu berapa banyak energi yang dibakar oleh tubuh Anda dalam sehari, Anda akan tahu berapa banyak kalori yang diperlukan untuk mempertahankan, menurunkan, atau menaikkan berat badan. Berikut ini sebuah rumus sederhana untuk mulai menyeimbangkan persamaan energi Anda.

Pertama, kalikan berat Anda dengan 11. Hasilnya disebut basal metabolic rate, yakni jumlah kalori minimum yang diperlukan untuk membuat sistem Anda tetap berjalan.

Berikutnya, tentukan tingkat aktivitas Anda lalu kalikan basal metabolic rate Anda dengan persentase yang sesuai di bawah ini. Hasilnya adalah kalori tambahan yang Anda perlukan untuk satu hari.

Tingkat aktivitas Persen
Banyak duduk 30-50
Ringan 55-65
Sedang 65-70
Berat 75-100

Kategori banyak duduk atau sedentary activity merujuk ke banyaknya waktu yang Anda gunakan untuk duduk di rumah menonton televisi, membaca majalah, atau mengobrol lewat telepon. Aktivitas ringan meliputi kesibukan mengurus rumah, memasak, dan berjalan-jalan keliling kampung atau kompleks sehabis makan malam.

Aktivitas sedang meliputi berenang santai atau berjalan cepat tetapi tidak sampai tersengal-sengal waktu diajak bicara. Aktivitas berat meliputi olahraga yang menggenjot jantung seperti berlari atau aerobik.

Tambahkan kedua angka ini, maka Anda mendapatkan total kalori yang Anda butuhkan untuk sehari. Jadi, jika Anda mempunyai berat 190 pound (sekitar 95 kilogram) dengan tingkat aktivitas sehari-hari di ujung bawah skala sedang, Anda akan memerlukan 3449 kalori.

190 x 11 = 2090
2090 x 0,65 = 1359
2090 +1359 = 3449

Namun begitu, angka ini hanyalah sebuah taksiran. Metabolisme Anda dapat diukur secara lebih teliti oleh spesialis fisiologi olahraga atau dokter spesialis penurunan berat badan dan metabolisme.

10 Tips Diet Berhasil

PAKAR nutrisi Nancy Clark dari Majalah Runners World memberikan 10 tip penting bagi Anda dalam program penurunan berat badan. Dengan panduan sederhana ini diharapkan kerja keras Anda menguruskan badan mencapai hasil memuaskan. Berikut tipsnya :

1. Untuk menurunkan 10 pon lemak tubuh dalam setahun, Anda harus mengurangi asupan 100 kalori per hari. Mengurangi terlalu banyak kalori dari asupan yang direkomendasikan justru akan menurunkan kadar energi dan memicu rasa lapar. Hal itu juga akan membuat Anda rentan untuk tergoda menyantap makanan berkalori tinggi.

2. Jangan pernah melupakan sarapan. Makanlah dua jam setelah Anda bangun pagi.

3. Faktanya, Anda seharusnya lebih banyak makan pada saat sarapan. Tukar atau alihkan sebagian jatah kalori Anda untuk makan malam dengan menumpuk lebih banyak asupan kalori pada saat makan pagi atau siang.

4. Jangan biarkan diri Anda marasa lapar. Makanlah setidaknya setiap empat jam. Supaya jatah kalori untuk sehari penuh tetap terjaga, cobalah untuk membagi porsi makan. Bagi jatah makanan untuk memastikan Anda benar-benar mendapat bahan bakar sebelum dan setelah beraktivitas. Sebagai contoh, makanlah sebagian jatah sarapan sebelum Anda berjalan kaki di pagi hari dan sisanya bari dihabiskan kemudian

5. Konsumsilah sedikitnya tiga jenis dari empat jenis/kategori makanan pada setiap kali Anda makan. Empat jenis makanan tersebut adaalah : 1. Roti, sereal, gandum, 2. buah dan sayuran, 3. susu rendah lemak dan kedelai, 4. daging rendah lemak, ikan dan kacang. Karbohidrat seperti roti, sereal dan gandum merupakan fondasi dari setiap makanan Anda, sedangkan protein sebagai pelengkapnya.

6. Tentukan target penurunan lemak tubuh secara berkala. Dengan begitu, Anda akan cenderung mencapai lagi berat ideal jika berat badan Anda turun terlalu cepat.

7. Kalori dalam bentuk cairan dapat meningkatkan dan menyebabkan penambahan berat dengan cepat. Kurangi kebiasaan mengonsumi minuman kalori tinggi seperti softdrink atau soda, minuman olahraga, kopi atau alkohol.

8. Mulailah untuk menyukai makanan alami seprti buah-buahan, sayuran, gandum utuh (whole grain). Kurangi kebiasaan makanan olahan karena biasanya lebih rendah jumlah serat dan tidak mengenyangkan.

9. Jika Anda tak bisa menolak makanan cepat saji (fast food), mintalah informasi mengenai kandungan nutrisi sebelum Anda membuat pilihan atau cek lebih dulu infonya melalui website restauran. Hindari menu-menu dengan kata "fried", "crispy" atau special sauce yang dijamin akan mengandung kalori tinggi.

10. Ingatlah. Kalori yang terkandung dalam minuman olahraga, energy bar atau gel yang dikonsumsi selama berolahraga akan menambah asupan kalori meski Anda tetap bergerak. Konsumsilah hanya ketika diperlukan.

10 Exercise Safety Tips

Before you grab the gear, hit the gym, or pump some iron, you better put on that thinking cap and think about safety first. Exercise can turn into a few weeks laid up with an injury if you are not careful. Or worse, death can result from foolish mistakes or avoidable catastrophes. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2008, over 300,000 emergency room visits were due to a baby-boomer getting hurt while exercising, condition called "boomeritis". Here are some tips to help you avoid being a statistic.


1. Get your doctor's approval: Those of you who participated in sports in school know that a sports physical was required before you could join a team. In fact, sports physicals are known to save lives of those who were unaware of a sinister heart murmur or irregularity. Everyone should get a physical before starting a new exercise routine or beginning a new sporting activity. This exercise safety tip could save your life.



2. Familiarize with Exercise Machines: Exercise equipment is getting more and more complicated with electronics, pulley systems, and mechanisms. Being unfamiliar with the equipment is an injury waiting to happen. Instead of taking the risk, ask someone who knows the equipment, like a friend, a personal trainer, or a salesperson, how to use the machine first. Besides, you will look like a fool if you don't know what you are doing.



3. Use Safety Equipment: Some sports do not require machines, but do require safety equipment like helmets, wrist guards, knee pads, shin guards, mouth guards, and pads. Safety equipment is not just for sissies. Safety equipment is for everyone with half a brain.



4. Drink Plenty of Water: Whether the environment is hot or cold, water is essential for life. How much water is enough? My favorite rules of hydration that I learned when I fought fire are: if you are not peeing, then you are not drinking enough; if your urine is dark, then you are not drinking enough; if you feel thirsty, then you are already dehydrated; if you are not sweating or feel light headed, then you need to stop, cool down, and drink. This safety tip is important and too often ignored which can lead to deadly consequences.



5. Warm-up and Stretch: A preliminary, prerequisite warm-up helps the body prepare for exercise. The muscles need to turn-on and become flexible. The heart rate needs to get up to speed. The blood needs to be recruited to the areas that need it the most. If you do not know a good preliminary routine for your particular activity, I recommend a time-tested book called: Stretching by Bob Anderson. The routines are sport specific and easy to follow. For those who wish to avoid "boomeritis", a warm-up is not to be skipped.



6. Provide a Good Base of Support: Exercise is safer when the body is well supported. Support can be found in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes your only point of contact with the ground is through your feet, like tires on a car. Thus, good supportive shoes are essential for many forms of exercise. Additionally, good biomechanics, like standing with your feet shoulder width apart, provide the body a base of support. And strong muscles, especially the leg and butt muscles, are pillars of strength for the entire body. Falls, strains, and sprains can all prevented by having a good base of support.

Fasting Tips: Safety And The Truth About Dry Fasting

Fasting is a great way to lose fat and improve your health. Sadly, education about the benefits of fasting is still in it's infancy so most people think that fasting is dangerous

On the other side of the issue, some people say that fasting is safe but only truly beneficial if it's dry, meaning that no food OR fluid is ingested during the fast.

First, let's address the safety issue.

There's an unfortunate misconception that long-term fasting and short-term fasting have the same effect on the body. For some mysterious reason, critics don't read the many well-conducted (and NOT funded by industry and therefore less biased) research on short-term fasts.

Short-term fasting is often referred to as 'intermittent fasting'. Study after study has shown that intermittent fasting is safe and effective for fat loss and other biomarkers of health.

The critics quote data from studies on *long-term* fasting. Long-term fasting is indeed dangerous and unwise, leading to many serious health consequences such as malnourishment, muscle wasting and eventually death.

Short-term fasting usually means going 16-36 hours without food or drinks that contain calories. Studies show that it's safe AND has health benefits that are similar to exercise, including boosting human growth hormone levels.

As long as weight-bearing exercise is done weekly, there is no loss of muscle tissue during a short-term fast.

There doesn't seem to be a risk of hypoglycaemia. Blood sugar levels remain in the normal range unless the individual has been medically diagnosed as hypoglycaemic *before* attempting fasting. This surprises people who experience light- headedness when they don't eat for a few hours. What they're actually experiencing is a drop in blood sugar levels, but not a dangerous one. They may also be feeling the shift the body goes through when it starts to burn body fat for fuel instead of food. Sometimes discomfort may be due to withdrawal from caffeine or other foods that they are actually sensitive to.

On the other side of the fasting debate are people who claim that 'dry fasting' is the superior way to do an intermittent fast. Dry fasting means that you avoid food AND fluid during a fast. This means no water. Advocates believe that avoiding fluid, including water, helps the body cleanse itself of toxins and therefore it's the only way that a person can get the full 'healing' effect of fasting.

So far there isn't credible evidence that dry fasting is superior or even wise. People's hydration levels differ so one person might do fine going a day without water, another might suffer from headaches and other ailments related to dehydration. The humidity of the air, exercise levels, and other factors will influence hydration beyond fluid intake.

Often dry fasting advocates suggest going more than a day without fluid which can, at the very least, be uncomfortable, and at the very most, will be dangerous and even life threatening. People who feel bad during a dry fast are said to be 'detoxifying' more than those who don't feel as poorly. Outside of anecdotal reports, there isn't enough data to support this claim. Until more research is done on dry fasting, it's best to stick with methods that have been properly studied, as intermittent fasting has.

If you'd like a fast and safe way to lose fat and improve other aspects of your health, a short-term fast done once or twice a week is worth a try, but until proper studies are conducted with dry fasting, it's best to avoid food, not water, on your fasting days.

Fasting Okay, Dehydration No Way

TERMS dehydration may already be familiar. Dehydration means your body's water shortage because of the amount of fluid that comes out as much fluid intake. Never underestimate dehydration because it can disturb the balance of the body, even at a higher weight can lead to decreased consciousness and coma.

In order for the body's fluid needs are met, we require at least 1 liter of water every day. How to avoid dehydration is by drinking. However, how in the month of fasting, are not we required to withstand hunger and thirst from sunrise to sunset?

To overcome this, there are some things we can do. First is to multiply the drinking water at dawn and sunset. The water should be drunk plain water, not tea, coffee, or soda. Therefore, these drinks contain caffeine which is diuresis or increase the frequency of urination. More urinate, the more body fluid is wasted.

Avoid drinks that are too sweet because it will stimulate the release of the hormone insulin that increases blood sugar levels. If this happens, the body will grow weak. Also, when I want outdoor activities, especially during hot weather, use clothing made ​​of material comfort and absorb sweat. This will help reduce the evaporation of body fluids.

Prepare Body Welcomes Lent

Choose Complex Carbohydrates
Our bodies need glucose for the brain to perform its functions. Lack of blood sugar will cause us to be tough to concentrate. But because we eat during the fasting period to be reduced, it is advisable to choose complex carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, singkon, or sweet). This type of carbohydrate longer breaks down into blood sugar that is more durable supply of sugar in the blood.

Avoid Sugar
Sweet foods and beverages that we consume will stimulate the release of the hormone insulin that increases blood sugar levels quickly. As a result, the body will grow weak.

Inadequate Nutrition

Always meet the needs of the nutrients the body needs. For example, carbohydrate and fat as a source of energy. At dawn or sunset, multiply the vegetables, fruits and protein foods. If deemed necessary, there is no harm taking vitamin supplements.

Physical activity
Running fasting does not mean can not exercise or do physical activity. However, adjust the type and intensity of exercise that we do. You can choose sports such as yoga or tai chi olahtubuh a more relaxed effect. Do not force yourself to do the exercise using heavy weights. Should do the exercise before Iftar time or several hours after breaking the fast.

Fresh Mouth Fasting Comfortable

Muslims in the world, including Indonesia, which entered the blessed month of Ramadan. Preparations for running the fasting was done. Starting from preparing for worship equipment, sweet foods such as dates for Iftar, until health preparedness for those who have a history of disease.

One part of the body which are often problematic when fasting is the mouth. Many times bad breath a person in the month of fasting became a serious problem in the relationship of communication with others.

"Naturally, it happened because there are brushing your teeth after sleep after dawn, some are not. Bad breath can not be avoided, "said dentist Hariani Agustiarini.

Most people usually make themselves available to sleep a few moments after dawn and the dawn prayer, before leaving for work. However, this often cause problems when awake. Many people are hesitant to remember to brush your teeth still in a state of fasting. They assume that brushing it makruh.

"In my opinion, still I recommend to brush your teeth when asleep again after dawn. Because no matter how long we sleep, the process of decay in permanent teeth takes place and that cause bad breath, "said Hariani.

Bacteria in the teeth actually continue to make the process of decay, especially after eating and body condition of inactivity or sleep. Brushing your teeth before bed does not guarantee the remnants of food on the teeth lost everything. The remaining food is the primary food source of bacteria in the tooth so that the potential to cause odor.

However, the level of bad breath a person depends on the quality of cleaning their teeth. Also a person's health condition. People suffering from diabetes, for example, her mouth will still smell. So also are suffering from ulcer, bad breath out quickly because of rapid gastric acid sensation.

To keep your mouth stay fresh during fasting and does not cause excessive odor, food consumed at dawn meal should be high-potential foods that do not cause odor, such as bananas or fried. Dietary recommendations for the predawn meal that is high-fiber foods such as vegetables and fruit.

Bad breath occurs when the fasting due to dryness of the mouth due to lack of fluids (saliva or saliva). Because saliva is reduced, so any bacteria in the mouth so that it appears more bad breath. How to prevent it? Here are tips to overcome bad breath during fasting:

Get Fit For Seniors who Fasting

For the elderly or senior citizens, many things to consider when starting the fasting. One is the calories needed during fasting. Meeting the needs of seniors who fasted calories must be equal to their current needs is not fasting.

Type of food consumed must be balanced. A good option is an older type of food that is indigestible complex carbohydrates such as rice, bread, and foods high in fiber such as vegetables and fruit. This food is consumed during dawn. While the food is digested faster simple carbohydrates such as sugar, should be limited to consumption during dawn.

For seniors who have a history of disease, are still allowed to fast. Because Ramadan is a month of training and self-control setting, then arrange the food intake and discipline yourself. When fasting, eating and drinking is restricted so that the diet, amount and type of fast food is different from daily habits.

From research by the Division of Geriatric Medicine Department Faculty of medicine / RSCM in 1997, it is known that a person fasting will decrease the food intake of 12 percent of daily food intake. A number of other studies on elderly people showed that fasting gives a good effect on health. Elderly person who is fasting is also not compromised renal function during fluid intake met.

Other studies mentioned, after fasting, there is a decrease of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and uric acid. Levels of free radicals (substances that damage cells in the body) also decreased, whereas levels of antioxidants the body needs to increase. Fasting is also no negative effects on people with diabetes mellitus during follow instructions provided. Someone who fasted will feel at ease so that blood sugar levels more stable.

How fast is good for seniors? Here it is:

1. A diet that is recommended when fasting is 40 percent of calories during dawn, 50 percent of calories when breaking the fast which is divided into two namely snacks or fresh when breaking before the Maghrib prayers, and large solids or after Maghrib prayers. While 10 percent of calories consumed a small meal after prayers tarawih.

2. The drugs must be taken - if you have health problems - need to be monitored and regulated re-schedule their drinking.

3. Fluid requirements should be sufficient. It should be about 30-50 cc per kilogram of body weight per day (8-10 glasses) to avoid dehydration.
