OSH INFO : Keutamaan susu dalam tubuh

SATU kajian mendapati amalan meminum susu dan pengambilan produk tenusu meningkatkan peluang seseorang wanita
melahirkan anak kembar.

Penyelidik dari Pusat Perubatan Yahudi Long Island di New York, Gary Steinman dalam kajian yang diterbitkan Jurnal Perubatan
Reproduktif Steinman mendapati wanita yang banyak mengambil produk tenusu mempunyai peluang cerah lima kali ganda untuk
mendapat anak kembar berbanding wanita yang hanya makan sayur-sayuran.

Susu bukan saja dikenali sebagai makanan berkhasiat yang lengkap dan penting tetapi turut membekalkan kalsium untuk membina
dan mengekalkan kesihatan tulang serta membantu mencegah osteoporisis.

Justeru, ia perlu diambil bukan pada peringkat kanak-kanak saja sebaliknya, sepanjang hayat kerana setiap peringkat usia, pelbagai
zat tambahan diperlukan seperti zaman kanak-kanak, ketika mengandung, selepas mengandung dan ketika melewati usia 30-an
serta pada usia tua.

Golongan generasi muda di negara ini, tidak ramai yang meminum susu. Berdasarkan kaji selidik budaya minum susu masyarakat
Asia menunjukkan, golongan utama meminum susu ialah di kalangan dewasa yang mencapai usia 40-an ke atas di samping,
golongan kanak-kanak.

Setiap bayi dan kanak-kanak memerlukan bekalan khasiat yang mencukupi untuk tumbesaran. Oleh itu, kita perlu pastikan bahawa
pemberian makanan bayi dan kanak-kanak mempunyai nilai khasiat penting terutama zat protein, vitamin, mineral, serat, karbohidrat
dan sebagainya.

Bekalan protein yang mencukupi amat penting dalam pertumbuhan sel otak.

Pengambilan protein menerusi susu dapat merangsang perkembangan otak pada usia dua tahun pertama bayi.

Samb…OSH INFO : Keutamaan susu dalam tubuh

Jika tidak diberi tenaga protein mencukupi pada awal tumbesaran bayi, ia akan menjejaskan perkembangan mental pada jangka masa
panjang.

Pemakanan yang betul serta berkhasiat bagi kanak-kanak adalah faktor yang penting bagi memastikan pembesaran otak dan badan
berlaku dengan sempurna.

Pada umur enam bulan pertama, bayi hanya memerlukan nutrisi daripada susu badan atau susu formula yang diberikan kepada mereka.
Susu badan atau susu formula mengandungi zat makanan bagi pembesaran.

Bagaimanapun, selepas berumur enam bulan, makanan pejal dan jus buah-buahan perlu diperkenalkan kepada bayi di samping susu.

Dengan menambah makanan pejal ini kepada bayi perlahan lahan, ia dapat menggantikan sebahagian daripada zat makanan, tenaga
dan kalori yang dibekalkan susu.

Ada juga kanak-kanak yang tidak gemar minum susu mungkin kerana warna atau rasanya. Justeru, ibu bapa mempunyai banyak pilihan
kerana susu berperisa coklat dan strawberi boleh diberikan kepada kanak-kanak.

Khasiat susu:

* untuk pembinaan tulang

* merangsang perkembangan otak

* pembesaran badan

BOOK REVIEW : Applied business research: qualitative and quantitative methods
By R. Y. Cavana, Brian L. Delahaye, Uma Sekaran

Book overview

This book introduces students with little or no background in applied research to

a deeper understanding of the philosophies that underlie the methods
researchers use to acquire, verify and validate information in applied research. It
focuses on applied research as a service to a client with a problem that research
can solve. It seeks to help students understand how they can apply research to
their own businesses, or employ consultants to do the same in the knowledge
that they can make informed decisions, emphasising the efficient use of
research resources while trying to maximise the likelihood of providing a useful
product. Applied Business Research is aimed at improving students?
understanding of the practical application of both qualitative and quantitative
research methods. It provides a detailed examination of the different
methodologies available, such as interviews, focus groups and questionnaires
and how to select and apply these different techniques. It explores the various
analytical approaches, including both constant comparative analysis and
statistics. Above all, it details the full research cycle, from the research catalyst
and definition of research objectives to the management of the research project
and the writing of the final report. The book emphasises a practical orientation,
focusing on the development of research questions and the use of research
methods for effective decision making in business.
