MedTweetMY ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf zahir dan batin.

[MedTweetMY @MedTweetMYHQ]

Hari Raya Aidilfitri adalah hari kemenangan buat umat Islam setelah berpuasa sebulan di bulan Ramadan.

Bila tiba hari raya, sudah pastilah kita mahu menjamu hidangan-hidangan raya yang cukup menyelerakan yang telah dihidangkan dihadapan kita.

Akan tetapi, buat pesakit kencing manis, pengambilan makanan perlu lah diambil dengan berhati-hati.

Di sini ada beberapa panduan pengambilan makanan sewaktu di hari raya nanti.

Setiap individu pasti mengalami pengalaman keresahan di dalam kehidupan mereka dan ini adalah normal.

Keresahan dikatakan sebagai pengalaman yang tidak menyenangkan, berasa bimbang pada sesuatu yang tidak pasti, dan biasanya ditambah dengan gejala-gejala fizikal seperti:
1. Sakit kepala
2. Berdebar-debar
3. Dada berasa ketat seperti ditekan
4. Cirit birit
5. Berasa tidak tenteram dan gelisah
6. Berpeluh berlebihan
7. Perut rasa tidak selesa
8. Kerap membuang air kecil

Gangguan keresahan (anxiety disorders) sering kali dikaitkan dengan peningkatan morbiditi dan bersifat kronik serta sukar untuk dirawat jika dibandingkan dengan masalah resah yang biasa.

Contoh-contoh gangguan keresahan adalah:
1. Gangguan panik/serangan panik
2. Agorafobia (rasa takut yang melampau di kawasan-kawasan terbuka dan ramai orang)
3. Fobia spesifik (contohnya arachnophobia – rasa takut yang melampau terhadap labah-labah)
4. Fobia sosial
5. Gangguan keresahan menyeluruh (GAD)

Berikut merupakan 'kitaran jahat' keresahan (vicious cycle of anxiety).

THE MISCONCEPTION OF CHOLESTEROL.
WHAT ARE THE MYTH AND FACTS OF CHOLESTEROL? (1)

Cholesterol is often considered a villain in the world of health, but is it really as bad as it's made out to be? There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, which can lead to confusion and unnecessary worry. Here are the facts and myths about cholesterol that you should know:

Myth (2): All cholesterol is bad

Fact: Cholesterol is a natural substance that our body needs to function properly. In fact, our liver produces cholesterol on its own. The issue arises when there is an excess of cholesterol in the body, specifically LDL or "bad" cholesterol, which can build up in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Myth: All high cholesterol is due to diet

Fact: While diet can certainly impact cholesterol levels, genetics and age also play a role. Some people may have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol, while age can cause cholesterol levels to rise naturally. Lifestyle factors such as physical activity and stress can also affect cholesterol levels.

Myth: Low-fat diet is the best way to lower cholesterol

Fact: While a diet low in saturated and trans fats can certainly help lower cholesterol levels, it's also important to focus on increasing the intake of fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like those found in nuts, seeds, and fish. Exercise can also help improve cholesterol levels.

Myth: Only older people need to worry about cholesterol

Fact: While cholesterol levels tend to rise with age, it's never too early to start thinking about your cholesterol levels. Children and young adults can also have high cholesterol, especially if they have a family history of the condition.

A survey conducted by Novartis in collaboration with MMA titled “State of the Nation” (3), has unearthed some shocking facts. Despite 92% of respondents acknowledging that lifestyle changes can control cholesterol, 28% hold the dangerous misconception that a healthy weight guarantees low cholesterol levels.

Even more concerning, 40% believe medication is the sole solution for managing high cholesterol. Although the vast majority (89%) recognize that unmanaged high cholesterol can lead to fatal conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, 84% yearn for easier management options, revealing an urgent need for accessible solutions to this pervasive health threat.

In conclusion, cholesterol is a complex topic with many myths and misconceptions. By understanding the facts about cholesterol, you can take steps to manage your own cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. It's important to talk to your doctor about cholesterol screenings and any concerns you may have about your cholesterol levels.

Unpopular opinion

“Skang ni ekonomi tak berapa memberangsangkan, pendapatan dah kurang. Bagi je baby tu susu badan. Senang. FREE plak tuh”

I would humblely pledge stop ✋ saying ‘Breastfeeding is Free’. It isn’t.

The effort, the willpower, the sleepless days and nights, the mental anguish, the time, the energy, the money - that is not ‘Free’. It all comes with a cost.

Belum lagi kira breastfeeding pump, nursing pillow laa, nursing pad laa yada yada semua tu. Not cheap tau.

Breastfeeding is only ‘free’ if we don’t value women’s effort on it

Memang benar. KKM sahaja tidak boleh menyelesaikan isu perjawatan ini. Yang membuat keputusan adalah JPA & MOF.

Saya mohon kepada semua, bantu KKM untuk memohon kepada JPA & MOF untuk membantu KKM menyelesaikan kemelut ini. Isu semakin kritikal, penyelesaian segera adalah perlu.
