Jendela waktu makan untuk pembatasan kalori mandiri

Sebuah uji klinis selama dua belas minggu di Johns Hopkins mengamati orang dewasa obesitas dan prediabetes yang makan dalam rentang sepuluh jam setiap hari. Hasilnya menunjukkan kelompok ini mengalami penurunan berat badan median sebesar 2,7 persen, hampir sama dengan kelompok kontrol sebesar 2,5 persen. Kedua kelompok juga melaporkan pengendalian makanan yang lebih baik serta penurunan stres makan meskipun tidak ada perubahan signifikan pada hormon nafsu makan. Metode ini layak dicoba sebagai alat bantu praktis untuk mengubah kebiasaan makan dan mengontrol asupan secara tidak sadar. Namun, kekurangannya adalah tidak ada mekanisme metabolik khusus yang bekerja karena penurunan berat badan ini murni didorong oleh faktor perilaku. sumber: futurity.org my other side: setyadi.com

Foreign workers to be tested on language to land job in Indonesia

JAKARTA : Indonesia will from next year require foreigners who want to work in the country to pass a test on the national language, reports say.

Manpower Minister Fahmi Idris said the move was partly aimed at reducing the flow of foreign workers and protecting jobs for Indonesians, according to the Jakarta Post.

"Foreign workers must master the Indonesian language before they can work here," just as Indonesians have to master English before working abroad, Idris was quoted as saying by the Post.

"This is to ensure that jobs that could be carried out by Indonesians don't fall to foreigners."

Indonesia is to start allowing job seekers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) next year and those from outside ASEAN in 2008 as part of trade liberalisation required by the World Trade Organisation.

The proposal to require prospective foreign workers to pass an Indonesian language test was made by Idris' predecessor Jacob Nuwa Wea.

Officials say foreigners will be tested on grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary and oral comprehension.

Commentators have questioned the proposal, given the fact that foreign investment is faltering and that some foreigners already shun Indonesia due to terrorism fears.

Currently around 30,000 foreigners work in Indonesia.
