Tiga Rahasia Perut Ramping, Coba Deh


REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, Punya perut ramping dan rata sekarang bukan lagi sekadar mimpi indah. Jadi, untuk Anda yang berniat meratakan perut, ada tiga hal yang bisa membantu. Syaratnya, lakukan secara optimal dan pastikan perut ramping menjadi milik Anda.
Pilih makanan yang tepatPilih makanan yang sehat dan kaya dengan lemak baik
Santaplah alpukat. Lemak baik dalam buah ini akan membantu menyingkirkan lemak dari perut Anda.

Makan cokelat. Carilah cokelat yang mengandung 70 persen kakao untuk hasil yang maksimal

Jangan lupakan almond. Dalam satu studi terungkap, para pelaku diet yang menyantap satu genggam almond setiap hari dapat menghilang sekitar 18 persen lemak perut.
Pakailah baju yang menunjang
Agar motivasi makin kuat, cobalah sejumlah baju yang berukuran lebih kecil. Jika Anda mengenakan busana Muslim, tentu saja, pakaian seperti ini hanya bisa dikenakan saat berada di rumah. Namun, jadikan baju kecil ini sebagai motivasi kuat untuk merampingkan perut.
Atau, bisa juga memakai baju dengan motif vertikal yang terlihat dapat merampingkan tubuh dengan salur hitam di bagian pinggang.
Olahraga
Pilihlah gerakan-gerakan yang dapat merampingkan perut. Untuk itu, cobalah tanyakan pada para ahlinya.

Air Putih Sebelum Makan Bikin Langsing


Ghiboo.com - Melakukan diet dengan tidak makan makanan berkalori tinggi sepertinya sudah basi. Memperbanyak minum air putih sebelum makan justru bisa menjadi trik jitu untuk menurunkan berat badan.

Sebuah riset menunjukkan mengonsumsi dua gelas air putih sebelum makan mampu membuat Anda memiliki berat badan ideal dibandingkan mereka yang tidak meminum air putih sebelum makan.

"Dalam penelitian terbaru, kami menemukan orang yang minum air putih sebelum makan tiga kali per hari selama 12 minggu mengalami penurunan berat badan sekitar 5 kg lebih banyak dibandingkan mereka yang tidak melakukannya," papar Brenda Davy dari Virginia Tech di Blacksburg, dilansir melalui timesofindia, Jumat (10/2).

Davy mengatakan bahwa air akan membuat perut merasa kenyang dan mengurangi nafsu makan. Air merupakan zat yang tepat untuk mengisi sebagian isi lambung karena air bersifat zero calorie atau tak memiliki kandungan kalori. Asupan air inilah yang akan bekerja untuk membatasi asupan kalori sehingga orang tidak akan makan banyak.

Kebiasaan mengonsumsi air putih dianggap sangat baik selama menjalani program diet. Sebab, banyak orang yang melakukan diet justru meminum minuman berkalori tinggi, seperti coffe blended yang dipenuhi whipped cream dan minuman sejenisnya, yang justru membuat program diet mereka gagal.

Kiat Diet Efektif Dalam Satu Bulan


Seiring datangnya musim semi, musim dingin yang muram pun akan berakhir. Berarti sebentar lagi sudah saatnya mengeluarkan bikini dan celana pendek! Tetapi apakah waktu sebulan cukup untuk menyiapkan tubuh dalam bentuk terbaik?

Waktunya cukup, menurut Jim White, seorang pakar diet dan pelatih pribadi Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Tapi Anda harus memulainya sekarang.

"Ini saatnya bersikap realistis dan bertindak nyata," ujar Jim. "Sebulan bukanlah waktu yang cukup untuk menghilangkan semua lemak musim dingin, tapi jangan putus asa, Anda masih bisa menghilangkan 2 kilogram atau menurunkan satu ukuran baju kok."

Jim White punya aturan dasar untuk mengonsumsi makanan sehat. "Makan yang menyehatkan adalah keharusan jika Anda ingin mengurangi berat badan," ujarnya. Berikut ini beberap tips dari dia:

Konsumsi makanan yang tidak diproses. "Jika makanan itu sudah dikemas dalam kotak dan memiliki tiga atau lebih bahan dasar, berarti Anda tidak boleh memakannya," ujar Jim. Fokus kepada sayuran, sedikit protein dan karbohidrat dengan ukuran sedang.

Kurangi penggunaan natrium, karena membuat Anda membengkak.

Hindari gula dalam bentuk apa pun. "Baca label produk dan cari kandungan gula dalam bentuk apa pun," ujar White. "Biasanya bisa diidentifikasi dengan akhiran 'ose,' tapi tidak selalu seperti itu." White juga memperingatkan penggunaan kalori dan gula yang berada dalam minuman, misalnya jus buah.

Selalu minum air! "Mayoritas asupan cairan Anda seharusnya datang dari air, juga membantu karena mengenyangkan Anda," ujar Jim. "Ditambah lagi, tubuh Anda membutuhkan cairan yang cukup untuk berfungsi dengan baik."

Buat jurnal makanan jika merasa sulit mengubah kebiasaan makanan Anda. "Orang-orang yang menulis apa yang mereka makan cenderung berat badannya turun lebih banyak dibandingkan yang tidak," ujar White.

Tentu saja, diet hanyalah salah satu bagian dari proses penuh. "Makan makanan yang sehat mencegah penambahan berat badan, tapi berolahraga juga cukup membantu Anda mengurangi dan mengencangkan area yang mengganggu itu," ujar Jim. "Cara terbaik adalah gaya olahraga berkelanjutan yang dikombinasikan dengan melakukan dua atau lebih gerakan penguatan tanpa istirahat, disusul dengan interval kardio berintensitas tinggi. Lalu ulangi lagi."

Idealnya, ujar White, Anda melakukan ini 30-60 menit, 3-4 kali sepekan. "Kombinasikan dengan 20-45 menit kardio enam hari sepekan, dan Anda bisa mendapatkan tubuh indah dalam waktu cepat!"

Resep Sarapan yang Dapat Mengurangi Berat Badan


Penelitian menunjukkan, orang yang mengonsumsi sarapan biasanya lebih ramping daripada yang tidak sarapn. Salah satu alasannya adalah, sarapan dengan makanan berserat tinggi dan dicerna tubuh secara perlahan dapat membantu menghindari makan berlebih sepanjang hari.

Jadi, berikut ini terdapat tiga resep sarapan yang sangat menyehatkan, rendah kalori, dan berserat tinggi, yang dapat dibuat hanya dalam beberapa menit.

JERUK, KIWI, JAHE, DAN OATMEAL

Tidak sempat membuat bubur? Cobalah resep oatmeal berikut ini. Lengkap dengan vitamin C yang membantu menjaga kekebalan tubuh, oat yang dicerna secara perlahan oleh tubuh akan membantu anda tetap bertenaga sepanjang pagi.

Waktu persiapan: 3 menit

2 sendok makan oatmeal
1 buah kiwi (dikupas dan dipotong dadu)
150 ml jus jeruk segar
1 ruas jahe (dicincang halus)

Campur oatmeal, buah kiwi, dan jahe cincangnya dalam mangkuk. Tuangkan jus jeruknya dan diamkan selama beberapa menit agar oatnya menjadi empuk.

SMOOTHIE BUAH

Smoothies selalu menjadi pilihan favorit di setiap waktu, karena sangat mudah dibuat. Mengonsumsinya adalah cara yang bagus untuk meningkatkan asupan buah Anda, dengan segala vitamin, mineral, antioksidan penambah kekebalan tubuh yang dikandung oleh buah.

Anda dapat menggunakan buah beku atau kalengan. Buah beku kebanyakan lebih murah daripada buah segarnya, tidak perlu mengupas atau memotong, dan langsung mendinginkan smoothie Anda. Jika menggunakan buah kalengan, cari yang menggunakan sari buah, bukan sirup.

Waktu persiapan: 3 menit

100 g mangga
1 buah pisang
1 buah markisa
1 buah jeruk (diperas untuk diambil sarinya)

Blender mangga, pisang, dan jus jeruk, lalu tambahkan markisa di atasnya sebelum dihidangkan.

ROTI ISI DAGING ASAP, TOMAT, DAN KEMANGI

Semua orang suka roti isi daging asap, dan yang ini sangat sehat, mudah dibuat, dan bisa divariasikan. Kombinasi dari tomat panas, daun kemangi segar dan daging asap sangat pas untuk menu sarapan, makan siang, atau makan malam.

Waktu persiapan: 3 menit

2 lembar roti (tawar atau gandum)
6-7 buah tomat ceri (tomat berukuran kecil sebesar buah ceri)
2 lembar tipis daging asap (yang telah dipanggang sebelumnya, atau gunakan daging yang diiris tipis)
2 sendok teh daun kemangi segar (cincang kasar)
Garam dan lada hitam secukupnya

Panggang daging asap pada malam hari atau gunakan daging ham yang diiris tipis. Belah tomat di atas piring lalu masukan microwave selama satu menit, dan tempatkan roti di pemanggang. Letakkan daging asap di atas roti yang telah dipanggang, taruh tomat panas di atasnya, lalu taburi daun kemangi dan tutup dengan roti satunya — lalu selamat menikmati.

Bakar Lemak dengan Makan Ini


Ghiboo.com - Anda frustasi dengan berat badan? Eits, jangan khawatir! Jika olahraga dan diet tak sukses menurunkan berat badan, coba deh konsumsi beberapa makanan yang dipercaya membantu membakar kalori.
Kecilkan ukuran pinggang Anda dengan mengasup makanan ini, yuk.


Kacang Almond
Tambahkan kacang almond pada makanan Anda sehari-hari. Struktur serat yang terdapat di dalamnya mengurangi penyerapan pada lemak, sehingga hanya sedikit kalori yang terserap oleh tubuh Anda. Selain itu, kadar protein dan asam lemak tak jenuh tunggal yang ada juga membuat Anda merasa kenyang lebih lama sehingga menjauhi keinginan untuk mengemil.
Tip: Untuk meningkatkan rasa pada kacang, panggang di dalam oven dengan suhu 180 derajat celcius selama lima hingga sepuluh menit.
Telur
Konsumsi telur pada saat sarapan. Mereka yang mengonsumsi telur di pagi hari akan merasa lebih kenyang sepanjang hari. Ini karena kombinasi antara protein dan lemak baik yang terdapat di dalamnya. Selain itu, telur juga mengandung sedikit kalori.
Tip: Untuk mencegah kulit telur agar tidak pecah saat direbus, tambahkan dua sendok teh cuka ke dalam air. Selain menjaga kulit telur, cuka juga membuat proses pengelupasan telur menjadi lebih mudah.
Kayu manis
Jerry Seinfield, komedian, pernah berkata bahwa kayu manis seharusnya ada di atas meja bersama garam dan lada. Jadi, jika ada yang bertanya apa yang akan membuat makanan menjadi lebih lezat kita akan mudah menjelaskannya.
Kayu manis bukan saja membuat makanan menjadi lebih harum tetapi juga berkhasiat untuk menurunkan berat badan. Setengah sendok kayu manis pada makanan akan mengurangi berat badan sebanyak satu kilo setiap bulannya. Selain itu, kayu manis juga mengontrol hormon insulin yang biasa naik sehabis makan - yang membuat Anda merasa lapar - dan menaikkan metabolisme untuk membakar kalori.
Tip: Untuk cemilan yang menyehatkan, potong apel kotak-kotak lalu taburi kayu manis dan panggang di oven hingga kecokelatan.
Yogurt
Memakan yogurt rendah lemak membantu tubuh Anda untuk membakar lemak lebih banyak. Kadar kalsium dan protein yang terdapat di dalamnya mengutamakan penurunan berat badan sebagai salah satu diet ketat dan menjaga massa otot.
Tip: Ganti whipped cream dengan yogurt pada makanan penutup Anda atau gunakan yogurt polos sebagai pengganti mayonaise pada sandwich.
Lentil
Tambahkan lentil dan kacang-kacangan pada sup untuk membantu mengenyangkan perut Anda. Kacang dan lentil kaya akan leucine, yang membantu untuk menurunkan berat badan tanpa harus melakukan diet secara khusus.
Tip: Rendam lentil semalaman, lalu masak dan simpan di dalam kulkas. Saat lentil disimpan di dalam wadah kedap udara dan terendam oleh air, mereka akan bertahan hingga tiga bulan.
Sup
Mereka yang mengonsumsi sup terlebih dahulu sebelum menyantap makanan utama akan mengasup lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan mereka yang tidak makan sup. Peneliti dari Pennsylvania State University menyatakan bahwa mengonsumsi sup pada awal makanan akan membuat Anda merasa kenyang lebih awal sehingga mengurangi asupan kalori hingga lima persen.
Tip: Trik terbaik adalah menambah satu atau dua kentang saat memasak sup dan mendiamkan hingga 15 menit. Ini membantu menyerap kadar garam di dalam sup.
Sambal
Untuk memberikan rasa yang lebih berani pada salad dan sandwich Anda, ganti dressing dengan sambal: satu sendok teh sambal mengandung 10 kalori tetapi penuh akan serat yang membantu Anda merasa kenyang setiap saat. Kandungan capsaisin yang terdapat di dalam cabai juga akan mendorong level metabolik Anda sebanyak tiga jam dengan menaikkan temperatur tubuh.
Tip: Sambal sangat mudah untuk dibuat sendiri. Potong bawang merah, paprika merah, 2 tomat, dan cabai rawit, lalu campurkan dengan sedikit cuka dan daun ketumbar.
Tumbuhan Herbal
Herbal menambahkan wangi pada setiap makanan tanpa harus menambah jumlah kalori. Penelitian menyatakan bahwa tumbuhan herbal merangsang indera penciuman dan perasa Anda sehingga membantu untuk merasa kenyang lebih cepat dan mengurangi jumlah yang diasup.
Tip: Gunakan banyak rosemary atau sage saat memasak daging. Rosemary baik untuk mencegah radang dan sage juga bagus untuk pencernaan.

Questions 31 through 34 are based on the following reading.
Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and emigrated to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters seeking admission to medical school, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So determined was she, that she taught school and gave music lessons to earn money for her tuition.
In1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to abandon the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first female physician and founding her own hospital, she also established the first medical school for women.

Questions 35 through 38 are based on the following reading.

Glands manufacture and secrete necessary substances. Exocrine glands secrete their products through ducts, but endocrine glands, or ductless glands release their products directly into the bloodstream.
One important endocrine gland is the thyroid gland. It is in the neck and has two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe. The thyroid gland collects iodine from the blood and produces thyroxine, an important hormone, which is stores in an inactive form. When thyroxine is needed by the body, the thyroid gland excretes it directly into the bloodstream. Thyroxine is combined in the body cells with other chemicals and affects many functions of the body.
The thyroid gland may be underactive or overactive, resulting in problems. An underactive thyroid causes hypothyroidism, while an overactive one causes hyperthyroidism. The former problem, called myxedema in adults and cretinism in children, causes the growth process to slow down. A cretin’s body and mind do not grow to their full potential. Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, results in extreme nervousness, an increase in heart action, and other problems.
Either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may result in goiter, or an enlarged thyroid gland. A goiter will appear when the body is not getting enough iodine. Goiter is less common today, since most people use iodized salt.

35. The thyroid gland is called an endocrine gland
A. because it has ducts
B. because it has lobes

38. A goiter is
A. a person with myxedema
B. a swollen thyroid gland
C. an underactive thyroid gland
D. a chemical.



Questions 39 through 43 are based on the following reading.

A recent investigation by scientists at the US Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten – kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap.
In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.

The governor signed a bill forcing motorists with license plates ending in odd numbers to buy gas only on odd-numbered days, and those ending in even numbers on even-numbered days. Those whose plates were all letters or specially printed had to follow the odd-numbered plan.

Questions 55 through 60 are based on the following reading.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacteria that has been isolated from sea water, shell fish, finfish, plankton, and salt springs. It has been a major cause of food poisoning in Japan and the Japanese have done several studies on it. They have confirmed the presence of V. parahaemolyticus in the north and central Pacific with the highest abundance in inshore waters, particularly in or near large harbors.
A man named Nishio studied the relationship between the chloride content of sea water and the seasonal distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in sea water and concluded that while the isolation of V. parahaemolyticus was independent of the sodium chloride content, the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in sea water was dependent on the water temperature. In fact, it has been isolated in high frequencies during summer, from June to September, but was not isolated with the same frequency in winter.
