Semua orang pasti sudah familiar dengan vitamin C. Vitamin C adalah salah satu vitamin paling penting yang dapat membantu manusi
Semua orang pasti sudah familiar dengan vitamin C. Vitamin C adalah salah satu vitamin paling penting yang dapat membantu manusia menjaga kebugaran dan menguatkan kekebalan tubuh. Namun tak hanya itu saja , baru-baru ini penelitian juga telah mengungkap bahwa vitamin C juga dapat untuk menurunkan risiko stroke.
Berdasarkan pertemuan tahunan pada American Academy of Neurology, peneliti telah mengungkap bahwa risiko hemorrhagic stroke (yang lebih mematikan, namun lebih arang terjadi dibandingkan stroke biasa) lebih rendah pada orang yang telah memenuhi kebutuhan vitamin C mereka.
"Penelitian kami telah menunjukkan bahwa kekurangan vitamin C bisa jadi salah satu faktor pemicu beberapa jenis stroke, sama seperti tekanan darah tinggi, kebiasaan minum alkohol, dan kelebihan berat badan," ungkap ketua peneliti Dr Stephane Vannier, M.D. dari Pontchaillou University Hospital di Prancis, seperti dilansir oleh Huffington Post (15/02).
Hasil ini juga telah ditemukan setelah peneliti mengamati tingkat vitamin C pada darah dari 65 partisipan yang telah mengalami hemorrhagic stroke, kemudian membandingkannya dengan kadar vitamin C dalam darah partisipan yang sehat. Mereka menemukan bahwa partisipan yang telah memiliki cukup vitamin C dalam darah mereka berkemungkinan lebih kecil untuk terkena stroke, dibandingkan dengan yang kekurangan vitamin C.
Sebelumnya, penelitian tahun 2008 di University of Cambridge juga telah menunjukkan bahwa orang yang memiliki tingkat vitamin C tinggi pada darah berisiko terkena stroke 42 persen lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan orang yang kekurangan vitamin C. Meski begitu peneliti telah menjelaskan bahwa penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana cara vitamin C bisa menurunkan risiko stroke.
Berdasarkan National Institutes of Health, diketahui bahwa pria dewasa direkomendasikan mengonsumsi 90 miligram vitamin C sehari, sementara wanita dewasa membutuhkan sekitar 75 miligram vitamin C sehari. Vitamin C bisa didapatkan melalui beberapa makanan alami seperti jeruk, brokoli, dan paprika.

Bekasi, Saco-Indonesia.com - Kemajuan teknologi saat ini seakan tidak dapat dipisahkan dari kehidupan Anda. Selama 24 jam dalam sehari Anda pun seakan tidak dapat berpisah dari alat komunikasi Anda. Anda melakukan berbagai macam hal sambil mengirim pesan atau menelpon. Tentu saja hal ini dapat menimbulkan bahaya dan mengganggu kesehatan.
Seperti dilansir dari nydailynews.com, mengirim pesan atau SMS-an sambil berjalan dapat mengganggu kemampuan seseorang untuk berjalan mengikuti garis lurus dan menjaga kecepatannya dalam berjalan.
Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh para peneliti di University of Queensland, Australia ini menemukan bahwa ketika seseorang berjalan sambil mengirim pesan atau asyik dengan gadget mereka, maka gerakan jalan kaki mereka jadi tidak terarah dan kecepatan mereka dalam berjalan kaki pun juga terganggu.
"Saat Anda sedang berjalan kaki namun asyik dengan alat komunikasi Anda, maka konsentrasi Anda menjadi terpecah. Keseimbangan dan kemampuan Anda untuk berjalan akan terganggu. Akibatnya keselamatan Anda pun terancam," jelas Siobhan Schabrun, salah seorang peneliti.
Jadi, bijaklah dalam menggunakan alat komunikasi dan gadget Anda. Jangan sampai kesehatan dan keselamatan Anda terganggu akibat benda ini.

How Some Men Fake an 80-Hour Workweek, and Why It Matters
Imagine an elite professional services firm with a high-performing, workaholic culture. Everyone is expected to turn on a dime to serve a client, travel at a moment’s notice, and be available pretty much every evening and weekend. It can make for a grueling work life, but at the highest levels of accounting, law, investment banking and consulting firms, it is just the way things are.
Except for one dirty little secret: Some of the people ostensibly turning in those 80- or 90-hour workweeks, particularly men, may just be faking it.
Many of them were, at least, at one elite consulting firm studied by Erin Reid, a professor at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business. It’s impossible to know if what she learned at that unidentified consulting firm applies across the world of work more broadly. But her research, published in the academic journal Organization Science, offers a way to understand how the professional world differs between men and women, and some of the ways a hard-charging culture that emphasizes long hours above all can make some companies worse off.
Ms. Reid interviewed more than 100 people in the American offices of a global consulting firm and had access to performance reviews and internal human resources documents. At the firm there was a strong culture around long hours and responding to clients promptly.
“When the client needs me to be somewhere, I just have to be there,” said one of the consultants Ms. Reid interviewed. “And if you can’t be there, it’s probably because you’ve got another client meeting at the same time. You know it’s tough to say I can’t be there because my son had a Cub Scout meeting.”
Some people fully embraced this culture and put in the long hours, and they tended to be top performers. Others openly pushed back against it, insisting upon lighter and more flexible work hours, or less travel; they were punished in their performance reviews.
The third group is most interesting. Some 31 percent of the men and 11 percent of the women whose records Ms. Reid examined managed to achieve the benefits of a more moderate work schedule without explicitly asking for it.
They made an effort to line up clients who were local, reducing the need for travel. When they skipped work to spend time with their children or spouse, they didn’t call attention to it. One team on which several members had small children agreed among themselves to cover for one another so that everyone could have more flexible hours.
A male junior manager described working to have repeat consulting engagements with a company near enough to his home that he could take care of it with day trips. “I try to head out by 5, get home at 5:30, have dinner, play with my daughter,” he said, adding that he generally kept weekend work down to two hours of catching up on email.
Despite the limited hours, he said: “I know what clients are expecting. So I deliver above that.” He received a high performance review and a promotion.
What is fascinating about the firm Ms. Reid studied is that these people, who in her terminology were “passing” as workaholics, received performance reviews that were as strong as their hyper-ambitious colleagues. For people who were good at faking it, there was no real damage done by their lighter workloads.
It calls to mind the episode of “Seinfeld” in which George Costanza leaves his car in the parking lot at Yankee Stadium, where he works, and gets a promotion because his boss sees the car and thinks he is getting to work earlier and staying later than anyone else. (The strategy goes awry for him, and is not recommended for any aspiring partners in a consulting firm.)
A second finding is that women, particularly those with young children, were much more likely to request greater flexibility through more formal means, such as returning from maternity leave with an explicitly reduced schedule. Men who requested a paternity leave seemed to be punished come review time, and so may have felt more need to take time to spend with their families through those unofficial methods.
The result of this is easy to see: Those specifically requesting a lighter workload, who were disproportionately women, suffered in their performance reviews; those who took a lighter workload more discreetly didn’t suffer. The maxim of “ask forgiveness, not permission” seemed to apply.
It would be dangerous to extrapolate too much from a study at one firm, but Ms. Reid said in an interview that since publishing a summary of her research in Harvard Business Review she has heard from people in a variety of industries describing the same dynamic.
High-octane professional service firms are that way for a reason, and no one would doubt that insane hours and lots of travel can be necessary if you’re a lawyer on the verge of a big trial, an accountant right before tax day or an investment banker advising on a huge merger.
But the fact that the consultants who quietly lightened their workload did just as well in their performance reviews as those who were truly working 80 or more hours a week suggests that in normal times, heavy workloads may be more about signaling devotion to a firm than really being more productive. The person working 80 hours isn’t necessarily serving clients any better than the person working 50.
In other words, maybe the real problem isn’t men faking greater devotion to their jobs. Maybe it’s that too many companies reward the wrong things, favoring the illusion of extraordinary effort over actual productivity.
Finding Scandal in New York and New Jersey, but No Shame
From sea to shining sea, or at least from one side of the Hudson to the other, politicians you have barely heard of are being accused of wrongdoing. There were so many court proceedings involving public officials on Monday that it was hard to keep up.
In Newark, two underlings of Gov. Chris Christie were arraigned on charges that they were in on the truly deranged plot to block traffic leading onto the George Washington Bridge.
Ten miles away, in Lower Manhattan, Dean G. Skelos, the leader of the New York State Senate, and his son, Adam B. Skelos, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on accusations of far more conventional political larceny, involving a job with a sewer company for the son and commissions on title insurance and bond work.
The younger man managed to receive a 150 percent pay increase from the sewer company even though, as he said on tape, he “literally knew nothing about water or, you know, any of that stuff,” according to a criminal complaint the United States attorney’s office filed.
The bridge traffic caper is its own species of crazy; what distinguishes the charges against the two Skeloses is the apparent absence of a survival instinct. It is one thing not to know anything about water or that stuff. More remarkable, if true, is the fact that the sewer machinations continued even after the former New York Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, was charged in January with taking bribes disguised as fees.
It was by then common gossip in political and news media circles that Senator Skelos, a Republican, the counterpart in the Senate to Mr. Silver, a Democrat, in the Assembly, could be next in line for the criminal dock. “Stay tuned,” the United States attorney, Preet Bharara said, leaving not much to the imagination.
Even though the cat had been unmistakably belled, Skelos father and son continued to talk about how to advance the interests of the sewer company, though the son did begin to use a burner cellphone, the kind people pay for in cash, with no traceable contracts.
That was indeed prudent, as prosecutors had been wiretapping the cellphones of both men. But it would seem that the burner was of limited value, because by then the prosecutors had managed to secure the help of a business executive who agreed to record calls with the Skeloses. It would further seem that the business executive was more attentive to the perils of pending investigations than the politician.
Through the end of the New York State budget negotiations in March, the hopes of the younger Skelos rested on his father’s ability to devise legislation that would benefit the sewer company. That did not pan out. But Senator Skelos did boast that he had haggled with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, in a successful effort to raise a $150 million allocation for Long Island to $550 million, for what the budget called “transformative economic development projects.” It included money for the kind of work done by the sewer company.
The lawyer for Adam Skelos said he was not guilty and would win in court. Senator Skelos issued a ringing declaration that he was unequivocally innocent.
THIS was also the approach taken in New Jersey by Bill Baroni, a man of great presence and eloquence who stopped outside the federal courthouse to note that he had taken risks as a Republican by bucking his party to support paid family leave, medical marijuana and marriage equality. “I would never risk my career, my job, my reputation for something like this,” Mr. Baroni said. “I am an innocent man.”
The lawyer for his co-defendant, Bridget Anne Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff to Mr. Christie, a Republican, said that she would strongly rebut the charges.
Perhaps they had nothing to do with the lane closings. But neither Mr. Baroni nor Ms. Kelly addressed the question of why they did not return repeated calls from the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., begging them to stop the traffic tie-ups, over three days.
That silence was a low moment. But perhaps New York hit bottom faster. Senator Skelos, the prosecutors charged, arranged to meet Long Island politicians at the wake of Wenjian Liu, a New York City police officer shot dead in December, to press for payments to the company employing his son.
Sometimes it seems as though for some people, the only thing to be ashamed of is shame itself.
