Singkirkan Lingkar Hitam Mata Tanpa Operasi

Saat kelelahan atau kurang tidur, di area bawah mata Anda biasanya akan muncul lingkaran hitam (dark circle). Tentu hal ini akan menimbulkan kesan tertentu pada wajah, misalnya akan terlihat lebih tua dari usia Anda yang sebenarnya.

Tetapi, jangan khawatir. Banyak cara tanpa operasi untuk mengatasi masalah ini. Ikuti langkah-langkah pengobatan alami untuk menyingkirkan lingkaran hitam di bawah mata berikut ini, dikutip dari Times of India.

- Parut beberapa kentang mentah, lalu rendam kapas ke dalam parutan itu. Tutup mata Anda, kemudian tempatkan kapas ke mata Anda. Pastikan kapas yang Anda tempelkan tadi menutupi seluruh lingkaran hitam di bawah mata serta kelopak mata. Biarkan selama 10 menit, setelah itu bilas dengan air dingin.

- Atau, oleskan campuran satu sendok teh tomat dan air jeruk nipis ke sekitar mata. Lakukan dua kali sehari.

- Cara lain, minum segelas jus tomat dengan beberapa daun mint, air jeruk nipis, dan garam. Minum sehari dua kali ini sebagai minuman segar. Selain mengatasi lingkaran hitam, manfaat jus ini juga untuk mencerahkan wajah.

- Bisa juga dengan menyiapkan pasta dari empat hingga lima almond dengan susu. Oleskan pasta di sekitar lingkaran hitam, kemudian biarkan selama 10 sampai 15 menit. Pasta akan membantu meringankan beban kulit sekitar mata.

- Ada lagi, campurkan beberapa sendok teh jus nanas segar bersama sejumput bubuk kunyit, bila dioleskan di sekitar mata secara teratur akan membantu Anda menghilangkan lingkaran hitam.

- Jangan lupa pula, setiap malam sebelum tidur, oleskan krim yang mengandung vitamin E dan C di sekitar mata.

- Terakhir,  bisa dengan meletakkan beberapa daun mint di sekitar mata. Hal ini akan bermanfaat untuk memberikan efek pendinginan pada mata yang lelah.

Tempat Orang Kreatif: Keajaiban Telur

Tempat Orang Kreatif: Keajaiban Telur: "Di balik kandungan nutrisinya yang kaya, telur berkontribusi meningkatkan kadar kolesterol tubuh. Ini yang kemudian memunculkan anjuran agar..."

Keajaiban Telur

Di balik kandungan nutrisinya yang kaya, telur berkontribusi meningkatkan kadar kolesterol tubuh. Ini yang kemudian memunculkan anjuran agar tak mengonsumsi telur lebih dari empat kali seminggu.

Berdasar penelitian terbaru di Amerika Serikat, telur merupakan salah satu menu diet sehat yang terbukti selama beberapa dekade terakhir. Telur diklaim bukan sebagai penyebab utama peningkatan kadar kolesterol dalam darah.

Dari studi yang sama diketahui, telur yang diklaim rendah kolesterol justru kaya vitamin D yang berperan dalam pembentukan tulang. Peningkatan kolesterol lebih banyak disebabkan konsumsi lemak trans.

Ahli gizi Amanda Ursell mengungkap, sarapan telur rebus atau poach sebelum anak berangkat sekolah bermanfaat bagi energi dan kecerdasan. Janin juga memiliki IQ lebih tinggi bila calon ibu secara rutin mengasup dua butir telur setiap hari.

Berikut lima manfaat utama telur:

1. Cepat memberi rasa kenyang

Makan telur saat sarapan membantu Anda menurunkan berat badan secara signifikan dengan memotong asupan kalori harian. Makanan kaya protein membuat telur lebih lama dicerna di perut.

Peneliti di Pusat Obesitas Rochester Amerika Serikat menemukan bahwa wanita yang mengkonsumsi dua telur rebus untuk sarapan pergi, makan 400 kalori lebih sedikit selama sisa hari dibandingkan sarapan roti.

2. Mengencerkan otak

Dua telur dengan kandungan 550 miligram kolin setiap hari selama kehamilan akan membantu perkembangan otak janin dan menghasilkan ingatan tajam pada anak. Kolin juga penting untuk memori. Sumber kolin lain termasuk kacang kedelai, ayam dan salmon.

3. Mengurangi risiko kebutaan karena usia

Lutein yang ada di telur membantu meningkatkan kesehatan mata dan mengurangi risiko kebutaan yang berkaitan dengan usia.

4. Mengandung asam lemak omega 

Lemak ini sangat penting untuk pengembangan mata dan pendengaran pada anak-anak dan fungsi otak sepanjang hidup. Asam esensial juga membantu menjaga sirkulasi dan menurunkan risiko penyakit jantung. Telur dengan omega 3 juga memiliki lebih sedikit lemak jenuh.

5. Kaya Protein

Sebutir telur memiliki 8 gram protein, nutrisi yang sangat penting untuk menjaga kulit tetap kencang dan membentuk otot yang kuat. Wanita membutuhkan 45 gram protein sehari dan pria membutuhkan 55 gram atau sekitar 2-3 butir.

Alasan Tak Perlu Diet

Wanita pada umumnya selalu mendambakan tubuh yang langsing dan ideal. Tak jarang, kaum hawa sampai rela diet yang menyiksa demi mendapatkan bodi aduhai.

Menurut studi, diet yang berlebihan, meski membuahkan hasil, terkadang justru menimbulkan masalah kesehatan baru. Oleh karena itu, daripada menyiksa diri, membuang waktu, dan tenaga serta biaya, akan lebih baik bila Anda tidak diet. Tapi, tentu saja Anda harus punya gaya hidup sehat, mengonsumsi makanan bergizi seimbang dan rajin olahraga. Bila ini lakukan, tubuh langsing ideal menjadi milik Anda.

Berbicara soal diet, ada baiknya Anda mengetahui lebih dulu dampak buruk yang bisa ditimbulkannya. Dengan demikian, efek negatif ini kelak tidak terjadi pada Anda, dikutip dari Shine:

1. Kurang gizi

Terkadang diet mendorong seseorang untuk melakukan hal-hal ekstrim, misalnya menghindari kelompok makanan yang sebetulnya sangat dibutuhkan tubuh, seperti karbohidrat, lemak, dan protein.

Anda tidak perlu menghindarinya, sebaliknya cukup membatasi asupannya saja agar tubuh Anda tetap seimbang. Menghindari makanan utama hanya akan mengakibatkan seseorang rentan terhadap masalah kurang gizi.

2. Perilaku yang tidak berkelanjutan

Memaksakan diri mengurangi makanan, memang bisa menurunkan badan cepat. Tapi hal ini bisa membuat Anda kelaparan. Kondisi ini dapat mendorong Anda untuk tergoda kembali makan banyak. Pada akhirnya berat badan Anda pun naik kembali.

Apa yang harus dilakukan? Ubah ke pola pikir makan sehat sebagai gaya hidup, bukan sebagai diet. Ini akan membantu Anda menurunkan kelebihan berat sekaligus menjaga berat badan.

3. Bisa melakukan hal ekstrim

Ketika Anda menghilangkan berat badan dengan cara ekstrim, pada akhirnya, Anda justru akan memiliki keinginan secara ekstrim pula. Suatu hari Anda memiliki pola makan "sangat baik," berikutnya "sangat buruk." Anda mungkin pernah mendengar ini disebut "yo-yo diet."

Akan lebih baik jika Anda menerapkan filosofi moderasi. Menikmati makanan yang Anda dapatkan dan mengatur pola makan secara sehat.

4. Kurangnya energi

Mengurangi asupan kalori secara dramatis akan mengakibatkan Anda cepat lelah sehingga tidak produktif. Sebaliknya, Anda harus memahami tentang pola hidup sehat dengan menyediakan makanan yang sehat pula. Jadi, apa gunanya tubuh seksi bila Anda lemas.

5. Aktivitas

Untuk menurunkan berat badan, Anda disarankan tetap makan dengan baik. Diet tidak berarti harus lari maraton untuk membakar kalori. Karena, sebenarnya Anda cukup hidup secara aktif saja. Dengan begitu, banyak kalori yang dapat Anda bakar. Selain itu sekaligus meningkatkan metabolisme tubuh.

Cara agar Anda tetap menjadi aktif, bisa dengan berusaha menghindari lift di kantor, sebaliknya memakai tangga manual. Ini akan membantu Anda mendapatkan keringat karena pembakaran kalori.

Kata Pakar: Bumi, pada 2050, Makin Sulit Dikenali

Populasi yang terus bertumbuh terus bersaing berebut sumber-sumber daya yang makin langka saja. Melihat kecenderungan itu, peneliti di sebuah konferensi sains di AS, pekan lalu, meramalkan pada 2050 nanti, dunia sudah 'tak bisa dikenali'.

PBB sudah memprediksi populasi dunia tahun ini akan mencapai angka 7 milyar penduduk, dan menuju 2050, angka itu meningkat ke 9 milyar. "Hampir semua pertumbuhan penduduk terjadi di negara-negara miskin, sebagian di Afrika dan di Asia Selatan," kata John Bongaarts, wakil lembaga nirlaba Population Council.

Untuk memberi makan milyaran mulut itu, tentunya bumi harus diperah lebih keras. "Dalam 40 tahun mendatang, kita harus memproduksi jumlah makanan yang sama dengan yang kita konsumsi selama 8000 tahun ke belakang," kata Jason Clay dari World Wildlife Fund (WWF) di konferensi tahunan American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) itu.

Bila tren sekarang ini berlanjut, "Pada 2050 nanti, sisa planet ini tak lagi kita bisa kenali," kata Clay.

Pembengkakan populasi menimbulkan berbagai masalah, seperti penipisan sumber daya. Di sisi lain, pendapatan diperkirakan meningkat selama 40 tahun ke depan. Secara global, pendapatan akan meningkat tiga kali lipat. Di negara-negara berkembang bahkan berlipat lima.

Seiring naiknya pemasukan, orang cenderung akan naik pula di susunan rantai makanan. Mereka, kata para ahli, mengonsumsi lebih banyak daging dibanding masa-masa ketika mereka berpenghasilan lebih sedikit. "Makin banyak orang, makin banyak uang, makin banyak konsumsi, tapi planetnya masih sama," kata Jason Clay.

Clay meminta para ilmuwan dan pemerintah mulai membuat perubahan dalam bagaimana makanan diproduksi. Para ahli populasi juga meminta lebih banyak pendanaan untuk program keluarga berencana, agar pertumbuhan manusia, utamanya di negara-negara berkembang, bisa lebih dikendalikan.

The Biography of BSB

For more than 16 years, Backstreet Boys have delivered the very finest pop music has to offer – tightly crafted songs, floor-shaking rhythms, and unmistakable harmonies. The new “THIS IS US” showcases their preeminent pop mastery with a collection of indelible tracks that surely rank among their biggest and best hits. After mastering an organic, more adult contemporary flavor on 2005’s “NEVER GONE” and 2007’s “UNBREAKABLE,” the new album sees Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and AJ McLean revisiting the groundbreaking dance-pop sound that first made them international superstars. Songs like “PDA” “Bye Bye Love,” and the RedOne-produced first single, “Straight Through My Heart” are classic BSB, bursting with big hooks, unforgettable melodies, and high-energy rhythms that both highlights the group’s classic sound and vision while also placing it squarely in the here and now.

“This record here,” says Howie Dorough, “we reached back into what made us who we are – that’s great pop melodies, great harmonies – and made it current and relevant.”

“We made a conscious effort to go back to being ourselves,” notes Brian Littrell. “It’s important for the fans to remember what was, but it’s also important for them to know where we’re headed.”

One of the most successful groups in music history, with countless #1s, record-setting tours, and worldwide sales in excess of 100 million, Backstreet Boys are also among pop’s most influential. Turn on the radio and you’re certain to hear massive melodies melded with Eurodance grooves, a modern pop style inextricably rooted in the group’s innovative approach.

“When we first started,” says AJ McLean, “the Euro sound wasn’t really happening yet, but it led to Britney and ‘N Sync and all those other people that came after us. Now music is going back in that same direction, with great pop songs that are just as rhythmic as they are melodic. That’s what and who we are.”

The “THIS IS US” sessions kicked off in April 2008, while the group – a quartet since 2006, when founding member Kevin Richardson left to start a family – was still in the midst of the “UNBREAKABLE” world tour. Backstreet Boys took a short pause in the itinerary and teamed with producer Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic fame) in a Manchester, England studio to record what would become the album’s closing track, “Undone.” The Boys were fighting fit from having been on the road and as a result, the song crackles with the same electricity the group puts out on stage every night.

“This was the very first time we were recording while we were touring another record,” Littrell says. “We’ve always taken a year or so off to really get out of touring mode, but this time we wanted to try and get that energy from our live show onto the record.”

Almost immediately upon the tour’s conclusion, Backstreet Boys resumed recording at L.A.’s Conway Studios – “one of the most chill places to record,” according to McLean. To truly put their own creative stamp on the album, the group personally reached out to some of their very favorite producers and songwriters, just about all of whom were thrilled for the chance to work with the Boys.

“We took it into our own hands to call and develop personal relationships with all the producers and writers,” explains Nick Carter. “And for the most part, they were just as excited to work with us as we were to work with them.”

One producer with whom the Boys already had a rapport is the legendary Max Martin. The Swedish studio superstar – who was behind the boards for such BSB classics as “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” “I Want It That Way” “Larger Than Life,” and “Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely” – dined with the group when the “UNBREAKABLE” world tour hit Stockholm and right away, sensed that their passion for making music was in fact greater than ever before.

“He really saw the fire in our eyes,” Littrell says, “like we were young kids again. If there was one producer I had to pick to join the Backstreet Boys, I’d pick Max. He understands us inside and out.”

Perhaps it’s something in the water, but Sweden’s current hottest hitmaker, RedOne, also had a faultless grasp of the Backstreet Boys signature sound. One of the most in-demand collaborators in the world, thanks to his work with Akon, Lady Gaga, and Enrique Iglesias, to name but a few, the producer was initially too busy to work on “THIS IS US.” But just as Backstreet Boys were wrapping up the recording, word arrived that RedOne had indeed crafted a couple of tracks, one of which marked the album’s definitive musical moment.

“We had almost closed the door on the record before it happened,” Dorough says. “I’m so glad we didn’t, because RedOne was able to capture the sound we were looking for, especially on ‘Straight Through My Heart.’ It’s this great mixture of Eurodance-meets-our pop/R&B sound, which is kind of like where we started.”

“It was exactly what we were looking for,” McLean says of the single, “the exact all-around sound that was perfect for everything we needed. It’s a great song, especially for the fans who want to hear us being us again.”

At the same time, Backstreet Boys also opted to stray from their comfort zone by collaborating with a number of producer/songwriters better known for their work in other genres. The one and only T-Pain put his trademark sound on the sizzling slow jam, “She’s A Dream,” while Claude Kelly – famed for writing such hits as Britney Spears’ “Circus” and Kelly Clarkson’s #1 “My Life Would Suck Without You” – paired up with the team of Soulshock & Karlin (JoJo, Fantasia, Nelly) to produce two of the album’s hottest tracks, “Bye Bye Love” and “If I Knew Then.”

“We really wanted to push the envelope with this record,” Dorough says. “We wanted to reach out to some writers that people wouldn’t have expected us to reach out to.”

“Working with Jim Jonsin or somebody else that people wouldn’t necessarily see us working with,” Carter says, “that’s just our creative side coming out.”

The collaboration with Jim Jonsin proved one of the album’s most productive partnerships, yielding three songs including the explosive title track. Best known for helming hip-hop hits by T.I., Soulja Boy Tell Em, and Flo Rida, the Grammy Award-winning producer astounded BSB by confessing his lifelong affinity for the group’s music.

“It was like, ‘Hold on a second, you’re a fan?,’” Carter laughs. “’You’re one of the baddest beatmakers right now!’”

Among the Florida-based Jonsin’s key contributions to “THIS IS US” is bringing the group back to its own homestate roots with the Miami Trance-flavored “Helpless.” Hailed by Carter as “the Don of hip-hop” for his countless connections, the producer nailed the track by reaching into his little black book to procure a razor-sharp verse from yet another Miami-based star.

“We came into the studio and Jim said, ‘I’ve got a surprise for you,’” Nick recalls. “We were like, ‘What do you mean? No one surprises the Backstreet Boys.’ But he had sent the track to Miami and had Pitbull put a verse on it. We’re all huge fans of Pitbull’s, so it was just awesome!”

Despite the smorgasbord of producers and songwriters, “THIS IS US” is ultimately made a cohesive work by the Boys themselves. “We’re a vocal group first,” avows Carter, and the album makes plain how BSB’s purest artistic stamp comes via the magic of four distinctive singers performing in tightly knit harmony. Their unified voices reveal Backstreet Boys as still in thrall to making the most vital music imaginable, constantly striving to create influential, unforgettable pop.

“We always want to top our past albums,” says Carter. “That’s always our objective, to create an album where every song could be a single.”

“Our goal is always to push ourselves as much as possible,” adds Dorough. “We’re always working to become better musicians, songwriters, singers. “

“We want to continue to move forward,” promises Littrell. “We want Backstreet Boys to keep setting the template and raising the bar.”

With “THIS IS US,” that bar has just been raised a little higher…
