7x Tip Kurang Gemuk Air Badan
Gemuk air adalah antara fenomena yang paling kurang difahami orang ramai. Terutama hasil daripada tren-tren social media yang sering menawarkan penurunan berat badan yang drastik - iaitu 3-5kg berat badan dalam masa singkat (beberapa hari sahaja).
7 Tip Kurangkan Masalah Gemuk Air (Water Retention)
1. Minum lebih air: kalau tak cukup minum air, badan akan cuba lagi simpan air untuk elak dehyration. How much air? Biar warna urin jernih
2. Lebih fiber: untuk buang serat2 yg "kering keras" melalui perlawasan, lebih air akan diperlukan untuk "push" the fibers/najis out.
3. Kurang garam: macam lah pasir kat pantai, garam adalah penyerap air.
4. Potassium: ia lawan kepada garam dan bantu "neutralise" garam badan.
5. Sweat sweat sweat: sauna, losyen panas, senaman outdoor etc.
6. Green Tea atau caffeine: ia adalah diuretik (buang air badan) dan laxative utk bantu anda lawas.
7. Kurang karbo: untuk hadam karbo/gula/glucose, badan perlukan air. Jadi kalau anda banyak makan makanan berkarbohidrat, simpanan air badan pun berlebihan.
Boleh ke minum MILO untuk kurus?
Dalam sessi sembang santai ini, saya bincangkan topic yang sering menjadi topic perbualan dalam seminar, program Jom Kurus dan LIVE chat - bole ke minum MILO dalam proses atau diet semasa ingin kurangkan berat badan? Kongsi pandangan dan pengalaman anda dalam ruang komen.
Naik turun berat badan tidak bergantung kepada satu makanan atau minuman semata-mata. Yang menentukan naik-turun berat badan adalah: jumlah pengambilan kalori seharian berbanding keperluan. Macam lah kisah si lembu jugak, walaupun ia makan makanan yang "bersih" ala-ala eat clean, si lembu masih bermasalah berat badan kerana 1) makanan berlebihan dan 2) kurang aktif.

Panduan Kalori Biskut Hari Raya
Hari raya pasti takkan lengkap jika tidak disertakan sekali dengan juadah juadah utama seperti rendang, lemang, ketupat dan macam macam lagi. Tapi yang menjadi perhatian bila Syawal menjelma, tentulah biskut dan kuih raya, 1001 jenis tu! Semua sedap sedap belaka. Walau bagaimanapun, anda harus ingat, kuih dan biskut raya juga mengandungi kalori tertentu.
... biskut raya tidak mengenyangkan kerana penuh dengan gula-gula ringkas yang tingkatkan nafsu makan lagi ...
Nasihat saya, makanlah secara berhemah, dua tiga biskut raya mungkin sudah mencukupi, kalau kenyang dengan biskut kuih raya sahaja, makanan lain mungkin tiada tempat dalam perut.
Jadi berapa panduan kalori biskut raya dan kuih raya ni?
- Tart nenas/ strawberi/ epal = 70 kkal .
- Almond London = 110 kkal
- Biskut cornflakes = 80 kkal
- Biskut Arab/ makmur = 50 kkal
- Biskut kacang/badam = 90 kkal
- Biskut suji = 40 kkal

Tapi jangan tak beraya
Kesemua yang tersenarai ini ialah sebahagian daripada biskut kuih raya yang popular pada hari raya. Bila anda sudah tahu jumlah kalori yang terkandung dalam biskut raya kegemaran anda, mungkin lebih mudah anda merancang diet hari raya anda, bukan? Janganlah tak merasa langsung, kempunan pula nanti.

The BEST Workouts of my life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_WrjLUPfOk&t=27s
My daughter and I have been hosting LIVE HomeWorkouts on Instagram and Facebook due to the movement control order jn Malaysia due to Covid19. Many years from now, I will look back and remember these being the BEST workouts of my LIFE.
“When you can’t find the sunshine, be the sunshine”
#Showbiz: MCO not an excuse to be inactive, says Kevin Zahri
KUALA LUMPUR: Being confined at home is no reason for people not to perform physical activities like exercising which helps optimise health and keep the weight down.
According to TV host and celebrity fitness coach Kevin Zahri, there are various exercise routines which one can perform from the comfort of one’s living room.
“We should not use MCO as an excuse to stay in bed or watch TV the whole day. Being inactive could even lead to other health concerns such as being overweight and stress," he said in an Instagram posting recently.
In fact, in order to help raise awareness on the importance of keeping active during the MCO, the 42-year-old who is also the founder of Malaysia’s largest weight loss movement called Jom Kurus, started a 30-minute Live Home Workout session, which can be followed live at 10am via his IG and Facebook accounts.
In some of the videos, Kevin is also seen doing workouts with his children, showing that besides keeping one's health in check, people can also use the exercise session to bond with their family members.
Kevin's exercise videos have received overwhelming response from his followers in Singapore, Brunei and the United States.
The fitness coach who is also an award winning US certified personal trainer and nutritionist with over 15 years experience reminds everyone to watch his or her diet during this stay-at-home period.
