MERDEKA..MERDEKA..MERDEKA...

Salam Hormat,Salam Satu Malaysia?
Merdeka..Merdeka..Merdeka,Itulah 3 perkataan yang dilaungkan oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj iaitu bapa Kemerdekaan Malaysia pada tanggal 31 Ogos 1957 tahun dahulu yang akan di laungkan oleh rakyat Malaysia pada hari esok...sempena Kemerdekaan negara kita Malaysia ke 52.
Mungkin pada tahun ini perayaan tidak semeriah pada tahun sebelumnya kerana menghormati bulan ramadhan bulan mulia umat islam di Malaysia yang menganutinya. Tapi apa yang menyedihkan masih ramai rakyat Malaysia tidak memahami apa itu kemerdekaan? Apabila ditanya APA ITU KEMERDEKAAN? Mereka rata-rata menyatakan ada konsert menjelang 31 Ogos jam 12 malam dan esok perarakkan kat Dataran Merdeka/Dataran Putrajaya..
Kemerdekaan yang di perolehi oleh Malaysia atau MALAYA pada sebelumnya bukan mudah untuk kita dapatkan,dari penjajahan demi penjajahan yang negara dan rakyat nenek moyang kita telah lalui untuk menjadikan Malaysia tempat yang mana kita bebas bergerak didalamnya aman dan damai.Kemakmuran yang kita kecapi dari kesusahan yang lampau janganlah kita persia-siakan pada waktu ini dan untuk generasi kita pada akan datang..
Semoga keamanan yang di kecapi pada hari ini,kita tidak lupa erti kesusahan ,kepayahan nenek moyang kita lalui.. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia kita harus berbangga kerana Malaysia setanding dengan seantero negara maju yang lain.
Inilah nukilan dari hati kecilku semoga negara yang ku cintai ini akan terus makmur,gemilang dan terbilang..Al-Fatihah kepada pejuang negara yang menabur bakti ,gugur di medan perjuangan..untuk mendapatkan kemerdekaan semoga mendapat syurga balasan di akhirat...amin....
Selamat Berbuka puasa..huh petang ni rasa nak makan sup....he..he Merdeka..Merdeka ..Merdeka

calories vs metabolism

Can Eating Too Few Calories Stall Your Metabolism?
If you're like most people who want to lose weight, you want to lose it fast. So you may be tempted to make drastic changes in your diet to dramatically reduce the number of calories you consume. But what you may not know is that eating too few calories can actually backfire and sabotage your weight-loss efforts.
"It would make sense to stop eating [when you are trying to lose weight], but it actually works in the opposite way," says Kimberly Lummus, MS, RD, Texas Dietetic Association media representative and public relations coordinator at the Austin Dietetic Association in Austin, Texas.
Calories and Your Health
The most effective way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you expend, creating a calorie deficit. But if your calorie intake dips too low, says Lummus, your body could go into starvation mode. "Your body will start to store fat because it thinks it is not going to get anything," says Lummus. "You will be at a point where your body is kind of at a standstill."
Lummus says that when your body goes into starvation mode, your metabolism slows to a crawl, burning calories as slowly as possible to conserve its energy stores. This is why people who cut their calories too much may reach a plateau and stop losing weight.
Eating too few calories can be the start of a vicious cycle that causes diet distress. When you cut your calories so low that your metabolism slows and you stop losing weight, you probably will become frustrated that your efforts are not paying off. This can lead you to overeat and ultimately gain weight.
"It is so hard to sustain cutting calories and eating too little. What typically happens is that the person will go in the opposite direction; they will just become too hungry and go into a binging mode," says Lummus. "Because you are getting frustrated by not seeing any weight loss, you just sort of throw in the towel."
In addition to sabotaging your weight-loss efforts, eating too few calories can also harm your health. When your body goes into starvation mode, you are at increased risk for the following:
Abnormally low blood pressure and slow heart rate
Heart rhythm abnormalities
Electrolyte imbalances, especially potassium deficiency
Gallstones
Hair loss
Brittle fingernails
Loss of menstrual periods in women
Soft hair growth over entire body
Dizziness
Trouble concentrating
Anemia
Swelling in your joints
Brittle bones
Depression
Coming to Terms With Calories
Remember that calories are not your enemy. They are a vital part of a healthy and energetic life. "Your body needs a certain amount of calories just to sustain proper function," says Lummus. This is why fad diets that force you to cut out too many calories leave you feeling lethargic, shaky, and ready to give up.
Instead of opting for a fad diet, find a reasonable eating and exercise plan that allows you to lose one-half to two pounds per week. There is evidence that people who lose weight at this rate — by making better nutrition choices, eating smaller portion sizes, and exercising — also have the best chance of keeping it off. Make a plan to adopt new healthful habits that you will be able to stick to indefinitely, and always allow yourself a little wiggle room for special occasions.

Eggs...yummie..yummie

All About Eggs

Whether you like them scrambled for breakfast, deviled for a satisfying snack, or made into a delicious for a simple weeknight meal, eggs are a versatile source of lean protein that can be enjoyed in all type daily diet. When shopping for eggs, you’ll notice that there are many types to choose from: brown eggs, white eggs, jumbo, and small. Here we'll crack any confusion you may have regarding eggs.
Shell color: Interestingly, the difference in shell color has nothing to do with the quality of the egg. The color of the eggshell depends on the breed of the hen. Some hens lay white eggs and others lay brown ones — some even lay green. There is no difference in nutritional value or taste. The price of brown eggs tends to be higher only because the hens that lay these eggs are larger and require more food.
Yolk color: These color differences depend on the type of feed given to the hen. While hens given wheat-based feed tend to produce eggs with lighter-yellow yolks, those given corn-based feed tend to produce eggs with darker-yellow yolks. Fortunately, the color of the yolk does not affect the flavor or nutritional value. The yolk is the most nutritious part of the egg — it contains respectable amounts of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as some plant chemicals known to improve eye health.
Egg size: Eggs come in many sizes, from small to jumbo. Generally, recipes call for large eggs, so it's good to have these on hand. That said, even though they're labeled "large," they don't seem big. If you like to eat hard-boiled or deviled eggs, you might prefer extra-large or jumbo eggs for a slightly heartier nibble.
Egg grade: Grading is an indicator of egg quality and freshness, though only eggs graded A and AA are sold for consumption. There's not much difference between grade A and grade AA eggs, so don't worry about which one you choose. Instead, consider the storage conditions (eggs should be refrigerated) and the sell-by date, and open the carton to examine the eggs and make sure that none of their shells are cracked.

Fitness training...cardio or weight training?

Question: If you are doing cardio and weight training on the same day, does it matter which one you do first?

Answer:Think about which aspect is most important to your workout: aerobic activity or strength training. Is your primary focus to burn as many calories as possible (aerobic activity) or build muscle (strength training)? If aerobic activity is most important, do it first because the intensity and duration could be diminished otherwise. If strength training is most important, do it first because the amount you can lift and how many reps/sets you complete can be affected if you are more tired. This will ensure optimal performance on the most important activity. (For example, someone training for a race would probably do aerobic activity first.)

Another thing to think about is occasionally alternating the order of activity. When you do the same exercises in the same order over and over again, your muscles get smart. They become efficient and aren't challenged as much, leading to plateaus in strength gain and weight loss. Every once in a while, change it up for a week or so and you should continue to see results.
