Reflective Journal #TwelfthWeek

Liana Riani Ramli
Reflective Journal
May 19th, 2017


Hello everybody! Meet me again, and I think this is supposed to be the last reflective I make for this semester, Liana. If my estimation is true, than this will be the last task too for me. And it means only one week before Final Test.

For the last theme, I chose to use "Myth and Fact". Therefore, many people always think something that usually doesn't make any sense, and I don't like it a little bit. We live in the modern era, why would you still believe what your great grandmother's great grandmother's grandmother and endless words without any evidence? We can search facts in the internet unlimited, and we can distinguish which one is the correct. So, start from know, think first before you believe it.

Thank you so much for keep reading my blog.

The Facts of Exercising

Doing exercise is usually what people do when they want to keep their health or just want to lose weight. But, sometime they didn't do it in the correct way. The common exercise is running in the daylight while wearing a jacket, so it will make quick weight down. But do you know it's not effective? The fact is the air during noon is easier to make sweats and jackets will make the body more heat. But, what missing is not fat, but body fluids. This habit will make other body organs such as heart and kidneys disturbed. Because the lack of fluids make blood thickens. The heart and kidneys also work harder pumping and filtering blood. The other misconception about exercising is the more you exercise, the better. Sports do not always have to be heavy, sweating is not necessarily good. Exercise, as well as medicine, should be optimal. Type, frequency, and intensity are more important to achieve goals. That's why, you should do the right exercise, so you won't waste too much energy and time too.

Healthy Food is not Actually Healthy

So many preceptions about healthy food that are told by old people. Are those ideas true? Or those just mere talk? Let's find it out! That vitamin C can keep someone from catching cold is common knowledge for some people, and there are some statements which support it. The truth is vitamin C has no connection in making cold better at all. The other "fact" is that raw carrot is more nutritious thay the cooked one. Actually, cooking increases the nutritional value of carrot. The process breaks down the tough cellular walls that encase the beta-carotene. The last but not least, they say to minimize fat and calories always remove the skin before cooking chicken. The correct fact is baking, broiling, grilling, or roasting poultry with the skin intact helps preserve its natural juices. Cook with the skin—and then remove before serving.

Mthys about Sleeping

There are many common myths about sleep. Sometimes they can be characterized as "old wives tales," but there are other times the incorrect information can be serious and even dangerous. The National Sleep Foundation has compiled this list of common myths about sleep, and the facts that dispel them. One of those many myth is that snoring is a common problem, especially among men, but it isn't harmfulm. Although snoring may be harmless for most people, it can be a symptom of a life threatening sleep disorder called sleep apnea (pauses in breathing that prevent air from flowing into or out of a sleeping person’s airways), especially if it is accompanied by severe daytime sleepiness. People with sleep apnea awaken frequently during the night gasping for breath. The breathing pauses reduce blood oxygen levels, can strain the heart and cardiovascular system, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Snoring on a frequent or regular basis has been directly associated with hypertension. Sleep apnea can be treated; men and women who snore loudly, especially if pauses in the snoring are noted, should consult a physician. In conclusion, the myth about snoring is not dangerous is false.

About Tea You Must Know

There are many kinds of tea out there, like green tea, oolong tea, earl grey tea, lemon tea, jasmine tea, and ect. Sometimes people just like only a flavor, some they do not really care what the taste is,  and some prefer not to drink any. They said that green tea can make someone slimmer. Some people said that tea contains too much caffeine which will made you addicted. The others said tea cannot be boiled too long because the Vitamin C would evaporate. Are all those statement true? About the green tea, it's true, but you can get the effect when you drink it before eating carbohydrates only. This is because in green tea contained tannin and katekin compounds can prevent the absorption of carbohydrates that enter the body and will come out through the feces. The next is the content of caffeine in tea is much higher than coffee for the same amount of volume, tea (4%) and coffee (1.2-1.4%). However, side effects in caffeine in tea baseball to make addiction. The last is the content of vitamin C in tea is very little, so it does not give much influence to the body. But actually from the results of steeping tea is not vitamin C is perceived benefits, but the content of polyphenols that have a positive impact on the body, which works as an antioxidant (neutralize free radicals trigger cancer). Those are the true facts about tea.

Is Monosodium Glutamate Bad?

May 15th, 2017


Common people always create many thought about something they do not really know without knowing wheter it's true or not. Just like about monosodium glutamate or usually called MSG. MSG itselft is food flavoring which it made from many ingredients. MSG is composed of 78% Glutamate, 12% Sodium and 10% water. High content of glutamate is what causes a savory taste in all kinds of cuisine. Because the making of MSG is through chemical process, people start to think that MSG is not good for their health, and MSG is just one of many junk food. People often say that consuming too much MSG will make someone suffer from cancer. The truth is, consuming food flavoring won't kill somebody, as long as they didn't eat too much. Something too much always lead you to something bad. An optimum point of savory taste that can be felt by someone, that is maximum 5 grams / day. Eat less than 5 grams MSG every day, you'll be okay.
