Retro Fitness (How do you exercise in your 60s?)

Scientists who examined the effects of exercise and dieting in elderly people suggest that those looking to lose weight and were unsure about which way to choose should definitely go for cardio workout room instead of counting calories.


In the study that looked at benefits from dieting and exercising, both groups managed to lose weight but while the exercisers maintained their strength and muscle mass and increased aerobic capacity the dieters besides extra pounds also lost muscle mass, strength and aerobic capacity.

Although the researchers suggest exercising before dieting, it doesn’t mean that the exercisers should increase their food intake.

The study performed to check for differences and benefits of exercise and dieting on weight loss included healthy 50- to 60-year olds whose body mass index was between 23 and 30. Out of 34 participants, 18 dieted and 16 exercised to lose weight.

The groups’ goals were to reduce their calorie consumption and increase calories’ burnout by 16 percent the first three months, and by 20 percent the next nine months.

Both dieters and exercisers managed to lose 9 - 10 percent of their total body weight. Those who worked out 90 minutes a day took vs those who had 60 minutes of cardiovascular activity lost more pounds – 15 to 20 percent of their body weight.

Although the exercises showed to be more effective in the study, people should not forget about the benefits they would get from dieting. Eating healthy and properly reduces the risks of diseases and is effective against weight gain.

Staying ALive

No, I am not talking about Bee Gees' song, I am talking about how to keep healthy. Everyday is a challenge for us, human, to overcome the great hazards in our wold. You can name it ; cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc , have become dangerous hazards which can get to us everyday.

65% of all deaths in adults are caused by three top diseases ; heart disease, cancer and stroke. In many cases, these diseases were preventable. Many of the behaviors that cause these diseases begin at a young age.

Smoking and using tobacco are very dangerous habits. For example, if you use tobacco as a teenager, you're more likely to get heart disease, cancer or stroke when you're an adult. Smoking causes 440,000 deaths in the United States every year. More preventable illnesses (such as emphysema, mouth, throat and lung cancer and heart disease) are caused by tobacco use than by anything else. The sooner you quit, the better.

Eating the right foods and the right amounts of foods can help you live a longer, healthier life. Research has proven that many illnesses—such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure—can be prevented or controlled by eating right.

Psychiatric Department

Setelah 10 minggu di Obstetric dan Ginekologi akhirnya saya pindah stase lagi. Kali ini selama 5 minggu saya akan mendalami pasien2 dengan gangguan jiwa. Stase Ilmu Kedokteran Jiwa sudah lama menjadi "momok" bagi saya dan teman2 saya di universitas kami. Kenapa? Ga tau :-D

Mungkin saja hal ini dikarenakan IKJ di tempat kami penuh dengan primbon2 mengenai dokter2 konsulen yang notabene dosen kami di kampus juga. Ya, dokter2 konsulen kami memang terkenal nyentrik. Jadi untuk memuluskan perjalanan kami diperlukan sedikit bimbingan dari para calon rekan sejawat yang sudah "lolos" dari tempat itu.

Tadi seorang konsulen bertanya, "Mengapa dinamakan "Gangguan Jiwa", bukan "Penyakit Jiwa"?" Hayo.. Kenapa??
