Myths about blood donation debunked

No matter how long we have been donating blood, (blood transfusions were first introduced in the 1600s) there are still plenty of myths and misunderstandings attached to this selfless act.

Recently, The National Blood Centre of Malaysia (PDN) published an info-graphic to debunk some of the myths related to blood donation.

Here are some of the myths about blood donation and why they are not true:

1. I’m scared that I will gain weight after donating blood!

This is not true. Your weight will not increase after donating blood. You will only be provided with a five-day supply of iron and vitamin supplements after you donate blood. Hence, it will not increase your appetite or make you put on weight.

2. I cannot donate because I’m scared of needles!

Being scared of needles is a common thing. If you are scared of needles or the sight of blood, divert your attention elsewhere. Let the staff know beforehand and you need to distract yourself.

3.What if I lose all my blood after the blood donation?

Everyone has an average of 4 to 7 liters of blood in their bodies. Every donation only requires 450ml of blood. If you weigh between 45kg to 50kg, only 350ml will be withdrawn from you.

4.Donating blood will make my body weak.

Your blood will be back to normal before you know it. Blood donors are advised to have some snacks and drink a lot of water after the donation.

Myths about blood donation debunked
Did you know that one bag of blood can save three lives?

For those who are living in Malaysia, here are some criteria you need to take into account before donating blood:

1. You are healthy

2. Meet the age requirements:

  • Must be aged between 18-70 for those who have donated before and be between the ages of 18-60 for those donating for the first time.
  • Have your parent’s written consent if you are 17 years old.

3. Weigh at least 45kg

4. Sleep at least 5 hours the night before

5. Eat before donating blood

6. Your last donation was three months before

7. For women, you must not be pregnant, menstruating or breastfeeding

8. For non-Malaysians, you must have lived in Malaysia for at least 1 year.

KajoPicks: 8 Educational YouTube Channels for Children

New parents swear that they will never let smartphones and TVs babysit their kids, but it’s hard to not resort to YouTube to entertain your children.

Most studies and guidelines prohibit babies from 0-2 years of age from having any screen time, and 2-5 year olds 1 hour of screen time per 24 hours with an emphasis on good quality entertainment and supervision.

With emphasis on good quality, here’s KajoMag’s list of top 8 (tried and tested) educational YouTube channels for children and parents can enjoy together.

1. Super Simple Songs

Super Simple Songs is the easiest children’s channel to get into. Its songs are tuneful and catchy while its animation and live puppet sequences are attractive and easy for your children to follow. Even parents will find themselves waking up in the morning to these songs playing in their heads.

This educational Youtube channel features nursery rhymes, teaches ABCs and numbers, colours and shapes, singing games, personal hygiene, basic social skills and original songs.

Watch the video here.

2. ABCKidTV-Nursery Rhymes

This channel features both 2D and 3D animations.

While its 2D animations feature mostly nursery rhymes and educational songs on colours, shapes and even nutrition, their 3D videos build on this with a wider variety of themes which include social and emotional skills, family relationships and original songs.

3. Dave and Ava – Nursery Rhymes and Baby Songs

Follow Dave and Ava to their lush home on the farm as they act out various nursery rhymes, teach the alphabet and  numbers with the help of their parents and the various animal characters.

A totally Ukrainian product from its idea, plot, direction, team of 3D animators, composers, voice actors and financing, the 3D animation is so good you can even see the fur on Dave and Ava’s animal costumes.

Watch the video here.

4. PinkFong! Kids’ Songs & Stories

While “Baby Shark Dance” remains this channel’s most viewed video (1 billion views!), its other videos are worth watching too.

Besides catchy dance and action numbers like “Penguin Dance”, your kids can learn about trucks and excavators in “Car Songs”, names of dinosaurs in “Dinosaurs A to Z”, the planets in “Planet Songs”, and how their body works in songs like “Digestion – Where does my food go?”.

This is another ambitious channel with plenty of nursery rhymes and educational material for children to sing and dance to.

This India-based production also builds on the classic nursery rhymes by injecting moral values in songs like “Jack and Jill” or “Baa Baa Black Sheep”. You can also consider this the Bollywood version of children’s songs as the dance moves and music have an upbeat South Asian flavour, making it even more addictive to follow.

Honourable mentions:

Paul Dinning

Dinning’s “Videos for Cats To Watch” were the first videos I played for my child. They are not music videos at all, but videos of the wildlife – mostly birds – around this YouTuber’s home in Cornwall, England.

Shot in high-definition, watching the various birds coming to feed on the seeds Dinning left out is calming and pleasurable. Totally safe for children and the workplace too; you can even leave it on and just listen to it for background music as you do your paperwork.

OCB Relax Music

Short for “One Conscious Breath”, OCB Relax Music offers a collection of relaxing music perfect for meditation, relaxation or just as soothing background music. Parents will feel especially uplifted with this channel’s special playlist for children.

Go to Sarikei for Glory Cafe’s Coconut Tom Yam Prawn Noodles

Sarikei is a small town located along the Rajang River.

Known as the fruit basket of Sarawak, the town is famous for its annual Pineapple Festival.

For a small town with a population of less than 60,000 people as of 2010, this town has its own list of attractions to offer.

One of them being Glory Cafe’s Coconut Tom Yam Prawn Noodle.

One of Sarikei’s iconic dishes

Glory Cafe
The noodle of Glory Cafe, the iconic dish of Sarikei

In the blogosphere, reviews on Glory Cafe in Sarikei can be traced back to 10 years ago in 2008.

Some agree food presentation is just as essential to the dish as its taste and flavour. At Glory Cafe, the noodle doesn’t disappoint Instagrammers as it comes in a huge green coconut.

You can order the dish served in a bowl instead at a slightly cheaper price, but if you are not a Sarikeian, how many times in your lifetime can you have your noodles in a coconut?

The broth is Glory Cafe’s rendition of tom yam – spicy and creamy. Compared to some tom yam soups out there it is also more on the sweeter side unlike its hot and sour ancestor.

The highlight of the dish is none other the prawns. The coconut is filled with meaty and tenderly cooked prawns, a delight for seafood lovers.

Here comes the best part; after you have finished the noodles and the prawns, you can scrape the inside of the coconut with your spoon and savour its tom yam infused flesh.

Brace yourself during peak hours because that’s when local patrons flood the kopitiam.

 

So Sarawakians, what are you waiting for? Time to pack up for a road trip to Sarikei!

How your daily protein intake can help you lose weight

Protein plays an important role in losing weight and maintaining a great figure.

Overall, having enough intake protein in your daily diet will increase your metabolism, reduce cravings and induce losing weight hormones in your body.

Here is how your daily protein intake will help you lose that extra weight:

steak-2975323_1280

1. Protein reduces loss of muscle mass

When you exercise, you tend to burn fat which subsequently reduces your muscle mass.

You need those muscles because they work like a ‘factory’ that burns your fat.

Protein intake is essential to repair and rebuild your muscle cells which you lose during exercise.

2. It induce hormones which helps you to lose weight.

Taking enough protein will increase levels of the satiety (appetite-reducing) hormones GLP-1, peptide YY and cholecystokinin, while reducing your levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin.

When you are feeling less hungry, you will automatically eat fewer calories.

3. Digesting protein helps in burning more calories

Some calories are utilised to digest your food and this is what they called the thermic effect of food.

Protein has higher thermic effect (20-30 per cent) compared to carbs (5 to 10 per cent) and fat (0-3 per cent).

Having a high protein diet will make you burn more calories compared to a lower protein diet.

In other words, high protein diets have more “metabolic advantage” than low protein diets.

The best part is your body will continue to burn those calories all day long even when you are sleeping as it continues to digest.

4. Your protein intake can help to reduce craving

Having breakfast with high protein can help you reduce your craving for the rest of the day.

Plenty of studies show that by increasing your protein intake, you will start to eat fewer calories.

So having a high protein diet instead will make it easier to cut your calorie intake in one day.

Why not have hard-boiled eggs for breakfast starting today?

Start your day with high protein diet and reduce your craving the rest of the day.

3 things to cut out of your diet to lose weight

To lose weight, watching what you eat is definitely a must.

However, there are so many things to watch out for like cutting down on carbs, adding more fibre in the form of vegetables and getting enough protein.

While doing that most people tend to overlook the little things they put in their mouths which at the end of the day might not help them lose weight after all.

According to nutritionist Nicholas Alvin George, here are three basic things you need to reduce in your daily meals to lose weight:

1. Fat

food-3167098_1280
Avoid fried food if you want to lose weight. Credit: Pixabay.

Eating a lot of fatty and oily food will increase the risk of obesity and other problems including heart disease and strokes.

Try to steam, grill or boil your food instead of frying to reduce fat content.

Even if you have to stir-fry your dishes, use oil sparingly in your cooking.

Remember to remove all the fat from your meat or chicken while preparing them.

2. Salt

Salt will stall weight loss because it makes your body retain more water.

When you reduce your salt intake, you’ll lose some water retention in your body.

Remember that just because it doesn’t taste salty doesn’t mean the salt content is low.

There are plenty of foods which are high in salt content such as ketchup, processed food such as sausages, nuggets as well as canned food.

Traditional Malaysian fermented food such as budu, belacan and kasam are also high in salt content.

Opt for natural flavouring such as herbs instead of seasoning powder which also has monosodium glutamate (MSG).

We only need less than 5 grams of salt everyday which equals to only one teaspoon.

3. Sugar

Cutting out sugar will decrease your risk of obesity and diabetes.

The best way to reduce sugar is to avoid all sugary and bicarbonate drinks.

A can of soda has an average of 8 teaspoons of sugar. A canned isotonic drink and a small packet drink (250ml) may contain 5 teaspoons of sugar each.

Your one cup of 3 in 1 coffee mix contains about 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Malaysians love their condensed milk in their drinks. But condensed milk is not ‘milk’, it is just sugar and fat.

So the best drink out there is just the most inexpensive one, which is a glass of plain water.

If you really need to satisfy your sweet tooth, have some fruit and vegetables instead of cakes and snacks.

The Odd Cat Sanctuary then took her in and put her up for adoption.

That was how her hooman Lauren Beader in Massachusetts found her and she called her Maya.

2. Monty

Monty from Copenhagen, Denmark was born without a nose bone also due to chromosomal abnormality.

His hoomans Mikala Fuglesang and Michael Bjorn took him home from a shelter on August, 2013.

Bjorn told The Huffington Post, “I looked into his eyes and started stroking him gently on his head. I saw his personality and I’m sure he saw mine and liked what he saw. From that moment on, both Mikala and I started creating a very strong bond with Monty. We tend to think that we did not choose him but he chose us.”

Since then, Monty has been living happily with his hoomans and two siblings Malle and Mikkel.

3. Blossom and her family

In 2015, the North Shore Animal League in Port Washington, New York rescued a cat with a severe eye infection.

The rescue and adoption centre made the decision to have Blossom’s eyes removed.

Radio personality and animal advocates Howard Stern and his wife Beth fostered her for a while until she recovered.

Then Blossom found her furrever home with Susan Smith who already had other special needs cats.

Her siblings include blind Donavan, as well as Donny and Ozzy who have cerebellar hypoplasia.

4. Smush official

Smush was born with genetic abnormalities causing her to have a cleft lip and facial deformities.

She was found abandoned during the summer in 2017 and was quickly taken to University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.

The veterinarian students there took care of Smush, feeding her every four hours.

Now, Smush is living happily with her hoomans Florida resident Shannon Jackson and her wife Sarah.

5. Lil Bub

This American cat celebrity was born in July 21, 2011 in Indiana, US.

She was born with an extreme form of feline dwarfism causing her limbs to be quite small.

If you think Lil Bub looks familiar, perhaps you have seen her in the 2016 film Nine Lives.

She even has her own documentary, Lil Bub & Friendz.

6. Lil Bunny Sue Roux

This little angel was born without her front legs.

That doesn’t stop her from jumping around and being active.

She was born in New Orleans and rescued from an animal shelter by Jackie Deak Akey in 2014.

With almost 60,000 followers on Facebook, this cat/bunny/kangaroo/T-rex really know hows to draw a crowd.

7. Helix

Helix was born with cerebellar hypoplasia which affects his motor skills.

The condition causes him to wobble in his movement.

He was rescued from the streets but now is living with his family in Austin, Texas.

Putting aside his imbalanced mobility and lack of coordination, Helix is as healthy and playful like any other cats.

8. Kanga Roo the Cat

She was brought to a vet clinic in Northern California for euthanasia because she was different from other cats.

She was born with a condition called radial agencies, a defect affecting the formation of the radius born in the arm.

Cats like Kanga have problems using their front legs to hold weight.

She was rescued by Saving Grace Rescue in San Francisco and later adopted into a family.

Her siblings include two canine brothers named Brandon and Brownie and two feline siblings named Skittles and Hector.

9. Ryder

Ryder looks a little different from other cats.

That is because he is suffering from a condition called eyelid agenesis causing him to have no eyelids.

He went to surgery to make his eyes better and now he lives a normal feline life in Raleigh, North Carolina.

10. Max and Grace

These two blind rescued felines were adopted from a shelter in San Francisco.

Max was adopted first before his sister Grace came into the picture.

They both quickly bonded and now they do everything together.
