Hi, Sahabat MyProtection!
Pasti Anda sudah familiar dengan istilah karbohidrat. Tubuh memerlukan karbohidrat untuk berfungsi dengan baik. Salah satu peran karbohidrat dalam tubuh adalah memberikan tenaga untuk pergerakan otot, mendukung kinerja otak, fungsi ingatan serta memperbaiki suasana hati.
Makanan seperti roti, pasta, nasi, dan sereal merupakan salah satu sumber karbohidrat. Namun, segala sesuatunya yang berlebih tidak baik, termasuk karbohidrat. Konsumsi karbohidrat berlebih bisa menyebabkan peningkatan risiko penyakit jantung, obesitas, dan resistansi insulin.
Oleh karena itu, setiap orang wajib menjaga asupan karbohidrat harian. Salah-salah, bukannya menambah energi, kelebihan karbohidrat malah membawa penyakit.
Dikutip dari Kompas.com, berikut ini empat tanda seseorang kelebihan konsumsi karbohidrat:
Kunci menurunkan berat badan adalah energi yang dibakar harus lebih besar daripada kalori yang masuk. Jika Anda rutin berolahraga tetapi berat badan tak kunjung turun, bisa jadi pola makan Anda masih bermasalah. Konsumsi karbohidrat berlebih bisa membuat Anda sulit turun berat badan. Oleh karena itu, sesuaikan asupan karbohidrat dengan jumlah kalori yang disarankan sesuai dengan ukuran tubuh masing-masing.
Dalam penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Word Health Organization, orang-orang yang mengonsumsi lebih banyak gula dan karbohidrat sederhana umumnya memiliki lebih banyak gigi berlubang. Makronutrien, terutama dari makanan bertepung, merupakan sumber makanan bagi bakteri penyebab gigi berlubang.
Studi menunjukkan bahwa pola makan yang kaya akan karbohidrat olahan dan lemak jenuh seperti roti, susu, dan gula dapat membuat kulit berjerawat dan terjadi peradangan.
Ketika karbohidrat masuk dalam jumlah yang besar, maka tubuh akan melepaskan glukosa dalam jumlah besar ke pembuluh darah. Sehingga Anda akan mengalami ledakan energi sementara. Namun, setelah itu, tubuh akan terasa kurang berenergi daripada sebelum mengonsumsi makanan. Jika Anda merasa lamban dan lelah setelah makan, mungkin hal itu merupakan pertanda Anda mengonsumsi terlalu banyak karbohidrat, terutama yang cepat dicerna.

Car brake pads are one of the most vital components in the braking system. Their main function is to create friction with the brake disc, allowing the vehicle to stop or slow down.
Because of this crucial role, it’s important to check your car’s brake pads regularly to ensure optimal performance and maintain driving safety.
Here’s a complete guide about the car brake pads to help you better understand how they work, their types, and how to check them properly.
To understand how brake pads work and function within the braking system, here’s the process:
When the brake pedal is pressed, the pressure is transmitted through the brake fluid to the caliper.
The caliper then pushes the brake pads against both sides of the brake disc, which rotates with the wheels.
This creates friction against the wheel’s rotation, causing the vehicle to slow down and stop.
Semi-Metallic, known for durability and excellent heat transfer. These brake pads are usually made from synthetic organic materials mixed with processed metals, giving them high heat resistance.
Organic, made from a blend of resin, carbon, glass, rubber, and other materials. Vehicles using this type are typically free from squeaking sounds. However, regular inspections are needed to ensure the pads don’t wear out completely.
Non-Asbestos Organic or NAO, offers better performance compared to brake pads that are made of metal. They provide reliable performance and improved safety while driving.
Ceramic, considered the best performing type, is often found in luxury cars due to its higher price. Ceramic brake pads don’t leave residue or produce annoying noises, making them highly efficient.
Generally, the right time to replace car brake pads is when you hear a squeaking or squealing sound during braking.
The physical condition of the brake pads can also indicate when they need replacement. That’s why it’s highly recommended to check their condition regularly.
Most disc brake pads are equipped with a thin metal plate that serves as a wear indicator.
When this small plate rubs against the brake disc, it produces a squeaking sound as a warning sign.
If the plate is already touching the brake disc, it means the brake pads must be replaced immediately.
Before replacing them, make sure the caliper and brake disc are cleaned properly to avoid dirt buildup, such as debris or residue from worn brake pads.
This step is essential to optimize braking performance, especially since dirt mixed with water can disrupt the braking process.
That’s the complete discussion about car brake pads, including their function, how they work, different types, how to check them, and the right time for replacement. Hope it helps!

The sandwich generation is a term that has recently become popular in society and is now a phenomenon in several developing countries, including Indonesia.
The sandwich generation is often associated with children in a family who must financially support their parents, their own family, and their children all at the same time.
Because of this, they often experience a lot of psychological pressure, which can have negative impacts on both mental and physical health.
Based on a survey conducted by Litbang Kompas in 2022, the sandwich generation in Indonesia reached 67 percent, or around 56,000,000 people of productive age.
Therefore, the sandwich generation has become one of the major issues faced by society today. To gain a deeper understanding of what this generation actually means, in this article we will discuss the sandwich generation in detail. Keep reading to learn more!
