fakta ajaib tentang air

hari ini, berapa liter air yg telah anda minum? tak perasan? eh! jgn la mcm tuh... kita kena pastikan badan kita mendapat air yg cukup... mcm mana nk tau cukup ke tidak air yg di minum? lu pikir la sendirik!!! (amik dr nabil raja lawak)

fyi, kira2 80% tubuh manusia terdiri drp air... malah, terdapat beberapa bahagian dlm tubuh yg mengandungi kadar air lebih drp 80%... iaitu OTAK & DARAH...

otak mengandungi kira2 90% komponen air manakala darah 95%... sbb itulah kita disyorkan supaya minum air sekurang2 nya 2 liter @ 8 gelas sehari...

apakah kesan terhadap tubuh sekiranya anda mengambil air kurang dr 2 liter sehari??? let see...

darah memerlukan air utk mengimbangkan molekul2 nya (yg kata ada darah cair & darah pekat tuh..)bila kurang air, maka darah akan menjadi kental & pekat.. maka perjalanan darah pn akan terjejas... apabila darah ini melalui buah pinggang (buah pinggang berfungsi utk menyaring racun dr darah), ia akan melalui penapis yg sgt halus dlm buah pinggang... jika darah kita pekat, ia boleh menyebabkan penapis tadi bocor... bila bocor, anda akan melihat air kencing anda kotor & berwarna... bila air kencing kotor, doktor akan meminta anda minum air banyak2, betul tak? lg satu, ia mencegah anda drp batu karang...

apabila keadaan ini (minum air kurang) berterusan, maka tidak mustahil akan berlakunya kegagalan buah pinggang... maka terpaksalah anda semua menghabiskan wang hengget & masa utk buat haemodylisis...

ok... mari kita lihat kesan kepada otak kita sekiranya air dlm badan kurang.... bila darah menjadi pekat, maka perjalanan ke otak semestinya terganggu... darah ini akan lambat sampai ke otak sedangkan sel2 otak ketika itu memerlukan darah utk mendapatkan oksigen & makanan bg membolehkan otak iteww berfungsi.. ate nye, bila lmbt sampai, mati cepat le sel2 otak td... lebih teruk lg sekiranya anda penghidap sakit jantung... keadaan darah yg kental & pekat mungkin akan mengakibatkan anda diserang stroke...

jadi, minum la air sekurang2 nya 2 liter sehari terutamanya jika anda ingin menurunkan berat badan... hey!! air penting tau utk menyingkirkan lemak... sebenarnya air juga membantu proses metabolisma dlm badan untuk menukarkan lemak kpd tenaga.. jika kurang air, maka ia melambatkan pembakaran lemak... jd, makin lmbt la proses penurunan berat badan...

air juga penting dlm proses pencernaan... proses pencernaan akan terganggu jika anda tidak dapat menyerap segala zat, vitamin & mineral dr makanan.. apabila badan tidak cukup nutrisi yg diperlukan, tubuh akan memberi 'signal' ke otak bahawa ia tidak cukup nutrisi & perlukan makanan utk menambah nutrisi... apalagi, otak akan hantar signal LAPAR & kita pn mkn dgn banyaknya... dgn minum air yg banyak, kita dpt mengekang rasa lapar seterusnya dapat menurunkan berat badan...

7 tips for successful weight loss

1. The desire to lose weight must come from the individual. If you're truly ambivalent about making changes in your lifestyle or are doing this to please someone else, you're likely to fail. When making changes, decide what's right for your lifestyle. Your best friend's diet and exercise plan may be completely wrong for your habits and interests. The key is to find a system that works for you.

2. Don't blame yourself if you aren't perfect. If you once fail at your attempt to curtail your overeating, it doesn't mean you are a failure at weight control and that you should just give up. Accept that you made a poor choice, but don't let that poor choice influence the rest of your plan. The same holds true with exercise! Skipping a few workouts doesn't mean you can't get back on track. Weight control does not involve making perfect choices all the time, rather, it's about attempting to make good choices more often than poor ones.

3. Avoid surroundings where you know you're tempted to make poor food choices. Everyone has a time when we're most likely to overeat, whether it's the morning coffee break or after work with friends. Try to plan other activities or distractions for those times, or plan in advance how you're going to handle them and stick to it.

4. Surround yourself with people who support your efforts. Even our good friends can knowingly or unknowingly sabotage weight loss attempts. Spend time with those people who will not pressure you to make poor food choices.

5. Decide on some non-food rewards for yourself when you reach interim goals. For examples, at the end of the first week of healthy eating or after the first five pounds lost buy yourself a new CD or book.

6. Stock your pantry and refrigerator with healthy foods. Get rid of the high-calorie, low-nutrition snacks like chips and candy. But don't forget to have plenty of healthier options available as well, such as popcorn (hold the butter, try Parmesan cheese sprinkles), low-fat cheese and yogurt, fruit, instant cocoa without added sugar, sugar-free popsicles or puddings, or whatever appeals to you when you're hungry for a snack.

7. Set small goals and focus on these rather than the "big picture." Decide where you want to be in a week, in a month, rather than focusing on the total amount of weight you'd like to lose.
