Green Tea Daily Consume Reduced Free Radicals on Moderate Smokers

Smoking can enhance free radicals on blood plasma. Many previous studies proved that tea is a source of antioxidants which might reduce free radicals. Green tea is known to have the higher antioxidant capacity compared to black tea. This study aims to analyze the effect of green tea on reduction of free radicals on moderate smokers, using a pre-post experimental design. Green tea infusions were prepared with commercially available dried tea leaves (Green Tea Gamboeng Series) from the Research Centers of Tea and Cinchona Gambung, West Java. Nine moderate smokers (11-21 cig/day) aged 30-45 years were instructed to drink 200 ml green tea three times a day for four weeks. Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) of blood serum was measured at baseline and after four weeks intervention period. The level of TAC significantly increased from 1.18 m mol/L to 1.34 m mol/L after four weeks intervention (P=0.000). These results prove that drinking 200 ml of green tea three times a day for four weeks has a significant benefit reducing free radicals of moderate smokers. Moderate smokers are advised to consume green tea continuously to sustain these positive effects

The Effect of White Tea on the Increment of Smokers' Oxidative Status

Smokers are at high risk of oxidative stress. Many previous studies proved that tea is a source of antioxidants which might reduce oxidative stress. White tea is known to have the highest antioxidant capacity compared to other kinds of tea. Yet there was no sufficient evidence regarding the effect of white tea, especially against oxidative stress on smokers. This study was aimed to analyze the effect of white tea on oxidative status of smokers, using a pre-post experimental design. Nine medium smokers (11-21 cig/day) aged 30-45 years were instructed to drink 200 ml white tea three times a day for 4 weeks. Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) of blood serum was measured 3 times. The first at baseline, the second after four weeks intervention, and the third 2 weeks after intervention period. The level of TAC significantly increased from 1,17 m mol/L to 1,42 m mol/L after 4 weeks intervention (P=0.000). The increase in the TAC was only temporary, TAC significantly decreased from 1.42 m mol/L to 1.18 m mol/L 2 weeks after the intervention (P= 0.000). These results prove that drinking 200 ml of white tea 3 times a day for 4 weeks has a significant benefit on the oxidative status of smokers, although temporary. Smokers are advised to consume white tea continuously for to sustain these positive effects

Efektivitas Penyerapan Kalsium pada Model Tikus Kurang Gizi yang Diberi Diet Berbasis Mocaf Diperkaya Inulin

AbstractThis study aims to determine the calcium balance in undernourished rats fed with inulin-enriched MOCAF-based diet. Twenty-seven Sprague Dawley male rats at post-weaning age were classified into 1 normal control groups and 8 undernourished groups. The undernourished rats were conditioned for one month then followed by intervention with MOCAF-based diet for another one month. Calcium analysis was performed on the urine, feces, and tibial bones of rats.  Data of calcium were processed using One Way Anova test followed by Post Hoc Duncan to determine mean differences between groups. The results showed that calcium absorption, calcium retention, and calcium bioavailability between groups differed significantly (p0.05). The highest calcium absorption and calcium retention were found in the protein-energy-deficient rats fed Manggu MOCAF with inulin (KEP M2 = 97.47 ± 0.39% and 97.4 ± 0.4%) respectively. Bioavailability of calcium was higher in the group of undernourished rats fed with MOCAF-based diet. The highest level of calcium of the tibia was found in the protein-deficient rats fed Mentega MOCAF with inulin (KP T2 = 41.1 ± 3.59%) and was significantly different (p0.05) from the protein-energy-deficient rats fed Manggu MOCAF without inulin group (KEP M1= 25.7 ± 6.71%). This study concluded that inulin-enriched MOCAF-based diet could improve the calcium balance in undernourished rats.   AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian diet berbasis MOCAF diperkaya inulin terhadap efektivitas penyerapan kalsium pada model tikus kurang gizi. Sebanyak 27 tikus jantan galur Sprague Dawley usia lepas masa sapih dikelompokkan menjadi 9 kelompok, yaitu 1 kelompok kontrol normal dan 8 kelompok tikus kurang gizi. Pembuatan model tikus kurang gizi selama satu bulan dan dilanjutkan intervensi dengan diet berbasis MOCAF selama satu bulan. Analisis kalsium dilakukan pada urin, feses, dan tulang tibia tikus. Data kalsium diolah menggunakan ANOVA dilanjutkan dengan Post Hoc Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan daya serap kalsium, retensi kalsium dan bioavailabilitas kalsium antar kelompok berbeda secara signifikan (p0,05). Daya serap dan retensi kalsium tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok tikus kurang energi protein yang diberi diet MOCAF manggu dengan inulin (KEP M2 = 97,47 ± 0,39% dan 97,4 ± 0,4%). Bioavailabilitas kalsium lebih tinggi pada kelompok tikus kurang gizi yang diberi diet berbasis MOCAF. Kadar kalsium tulang tibia paling tinggi terdapat pada kelompok tikus kurang protein yang diberi diet MOCAF mentega dengan inulin (KP T2= 41,1 ± 3,59 %) dan berbeda signifikan dengan kelompok tikus kurang energi protein yang diberi diet MOCAF Manggu tanpa inulin (KEP M1=25,7 ± 6,71 %). Disimpulkan bahwa diet berbasis MOCAF dengan inulin dapat membantu penyerapan kalsium pada tikus kurang gizi

Pengaruh Program Makan Siang terhadap Asupan Makanan, Status Anemia dan Perilaku Gizi Santri Perempuan

The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between size at birth, nutritional status profile, and body composition of the first year students entering Bogor Agricultural University at 2013. Design of this study was cross-sectional with purposive sampling. The study was carried out with 45 males and 65 females. Result showed that most of students had normal size at birth. There was no significant difference between male and female in size at birth. A number of 66.1% subjects had normal nutritional status and most of them had normal body composition. Percent body fat, visceral fat, fat free mass, and waist-to-hip ratio were significantly different between male and female subjects. Birth weight was significantly correlated with body mass index (p=0.023), whereas birth length had significant correlation with fat free mass (p=0.040).

Compliance level difference of tele-exercising obese office employee on body weight and body fat

The problem of overnutrition and obesity tend to increase year by. Office employee are susceptible to physical inactivity and obesity. In context of current pandemic, exercising via online media, termed ‘tele-exercise’ may be an effective alternative intervention. However, the effect of compliance and timing of exercise on overall health-related output are still not often discussed. The&nbsp; purpose&nbsp; of&nbsp; the study is to compare the effect of tele-exercise done during working hours vs. after working hours on obese office employee’s weight loss and improvement of body fat percentage, as well as their relation to compliance level. The design of this study is quasi-experimental design, with obese office employee as participants, which then grouped into after work exercise (AW, n = 36, 1-hour duration) and mid-work exercise (DW, n = 21, 30-minute duration). Total sampling was used since the target population were under 100 people. Exercises were done 3 times/week for 12 weeks. Data collected were sample characteristics, bodyweight, and percentage of body fat. Both timing of intervention is effective on reducing body weight significantly (p&lt;0.05). Significant reduction (p&lt;0.05) on percentage of body fat is only occurring in DW group. Compliance level for AW and DW group are 63.75% and 61.23%, respectively, and being insignificant to each other (p&gt;0.05). The contribution of compliance in shorter exercise/DW on body fat loss and weight loss is 23.1% and 20.9%, respectively; while the contribution of compliance in longer exercise/AW is 11.3% on body weight loss. A short, mid-working exercise have the similar or even better effect than 1-hour after-work exercise session on weight loss and body fat loss. We recommend tele-exercising during working hours for at least 30 minutes to achieve significant body weight and body fat loss
