Mental Health: Self-love do Improves Health and Wellness





By Huda Amron

Having confidence is a key part of living a happy life. Confident can either debilitate or motivate. And, the choice is entirely yours. As much as we want to live a life free from fear, it never seems to really happen, does it?

Many psychology studies certify self-love and compassion are key for mental health and well-being, keeping away the depression and anxiety.

If people are confident it will bring them to a self-love. Without self-love they would feel weak, insecure, isolate themselves from the surrounding and at the end will bring harm to the self which mental and physically.

It is not always the easiest thing to build, and it is probably not something people can fix overnight. But there are some motivation to keep on working at it such as treating yourself kindly can have both physical and psychological health benefits, a new study says. So does self love improve health? Well it is an emphatic yes from me.

Self-love is not simply a state of feeling good. It is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support physical, psychological and spiritual growth in a person’s life.

According to Emily Dixon, 2019, the researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Oxford looked at the impact of kind thoughts towards oneself and others on heart rate, and feelings of self-compassion and self-criticism.

Moreover, the study, published in the journal Clinical Psychological Science, concluded that self-compassion had a very real impact on the students. Those who were asked to focus on their bodily sensations, as well as those told to think kind thoughts towards others and themselves, had lower heart rates and a lower sweat response at the end of the experiment. Unsurprisingly, the participants who were encouraged to think critically about themselves had a faster heart rate and greater sweat response.

Besides, Dr. Anke Karl, lead researcher on the study, said, "Our study is helping us understand the mechanism of how being kind to yourself when things go wrong could be beneficial in psychological treatments. By switching off our threat response, we boost our immune systems and give ourselves the best chance of healing." The researchers will go on to conduct similar studies involving participants with depression, Karl said.

Ironically, however, self-care and compassion might actually be needed most by those who work too hard and who are constantly striving to improve on themselves and exceed the perfection.

Studies have shown that perfectionists are at a higher risk of several illnesses, both physical and mental, and that self-compassion might free us from its grip. Therefore, perfectionism and self-compassion are very related.

Without self-love or lack of confidence will totally deteriorate a person's health and wellness.

Self-love is dynamic which grows through actions that mature people. When people act in ways that expand self-love in them, they begin to accept much better the weaknesses as well as strengths.

Moreover, people have the compassion for themselves as human beings struggling to find personal meaning, and most importantly, people are more centered in the life purpose and values, and expect living fulfillment through their own efforts.

The first thing I have learnt from successful people is not to be afraid of confidence. You have to be calm and acknowledge that you are afraid of something. If you understand that confident is just want to warns and protects, it helps you manage your emotions better.

Importantly it will not prevent you from taking action, because confidence is not the enemy. Rather, it is a guide that supports you, as you handling the complexities of life to meet your goals.

I understand that the hardest thing for people to do is leaving their comfort zone.

But you have to let go the life you are familiar with and take the risk to live the life you dream of because if not you will learn nothing. Nothing grows in you.

So by hook or by crook, people really have to self-love, be confident and do not be afraid to step out of the comfort zone because that is the only way they are going to grow and life begins at the end of the comfort zone.

Changing Your Coffee Consumption Habits.

Azlin Natasya Hanie bt Najirussaheb (2018275446)





As a student, it is almost a norm that we consume coffee to help us awake to study at night. According to E-imports (2019), more than 50% of Americans over the age of 18 consume coffee every day. That's more than 150 million drinkers a day. Every day, 30 million American adults drink specialty coffee drinks, including mocha, latte, espresso, mocha coffee, cappuccino, frozen/iced coffee beverages, etc.

Although it seems like coffee has more benefits to offer, we also should know the negative effects of overconsumption of coffee too to avoid unwanted health issues happening. 

Firstly, consuming coffee can benefit us physically. Coffee will improve our ability to be physical. When consumed before the task it increases stamina during a physical exercise. 

Coffee consumption can also benefit us mentally. This is because it helps improves our learning ability as it increases short-term memory. Coffee can also enhance reasoning and cognitive functions as well as speed up our reaction time. 

However, as much as it gives us benefits, it also gives us negatives physical effects. For instance, overconsumption of coffee can affect our sleeping schedule. It causes restlessness as well as difficulty in sleeping.

Consuming coffee too much also gives bad impacts on women because it can affect pregnancy. For women with low fertility too much coffee reduces their chance of pregnancy.

Coffee is obviously beneficial both mentally and physically, though when consumed in large amounts, it has adverse effects.

We can often witness every year about the floods that hit our country, Malaysia. But have we ever known the cause of this flood?

One fact to note is that Malaysia has a unique weather phenomenon. As a result, Malaysia has two Monsun. 

The first one is Monsun Barat Daya that runs from late May until September. The second one is Monsun Timur Laut that runs from November until March. 

Monsun Timur Laut brings heavy rain. It can contribute to a minimum monthly rainfall of 100-150mm. This phenomenon answered to the question of a major flood that occurred in Malaysia. 

The flood is an issue that should not be overlooked by the people as it can be life-threatening. Therefore, Malaysians should be prepared to deal with floods.

For the first preparations, be sure to have a flood warning system as well as hear more about flood announcements that happen in our area. 

This is important to know about flood events. Once they are aware of the incident, the people can be prepared in advance of the flood. 

Some of the mediums available for use are radio, television, flood-affected government agencies and the State or District Flood Operations Room.

Next, the second preparations is to close the power switch, the main water and gas leakage valve inside the home. This step should be emphasized to ensure the safety of family members regardless of child or adult. 

Electric switches are very dangerous even more when floods occur. It can cause electrical shock and next can also cause death.

In addition, the shutdown of the power switch, the main supply of water and gas can prevent wastage in the event of an emergency that cause the family members to move from the house and not being able to do anything beforehand.

In addition, the preparation is to place important documents in a safe place and carry them along in a waterproof container when moving. 

This is particularly important because the document should be used as a reference of citizenship. 

Documents that should be brought are personal identification cards, birth certificates, health records and other important documents.

We should not be too busy thinking about the possessions in the house that will be ruined  due to the flood because the lives of our families and ourselves are more important.

In conclusion, everyone should be aware of the dangers of this flood. This is because floods not only lead to infrastructure damage, but also to disease and death.

Parents should teach their children the steps to deal with the flood so that they can handle the incident more wisely. The government should work hard to provide temporary shelter, food and other necessities for flood victims.

To find out more about how to deal with floods, people are advised to read them on the official website of the Department of Civil Defense (JPAM) as they have listed all of the preparations.
VAPING SHOULD BE BANNED AMONG TEENAGERS
By: NUR AISHAH BINTI DAUD (2018636598)
Image result for VAPING  
Nowadays, many adolescents tend to try out something new without considering its consequences in the future. For instance, trying out vapes. Vaping is the inhaling of a vapor created by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or other vaping device. E-cigarettes are battery powered smoking devices. They have cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings and chemicals. The liquid is heated into a vapor, which the person inhales. Vaping has not been around long enough to know how it affects the body over time. However, health experts are reporting serious lung damage and man more sickness in people who vape, including some deaths.
Firstly, vaping should be banned among the teenagers because it can affect one’s health physically caused by the liquid content inside of the e-cigarettes. Vaping may contribute to increased risk of disruption to reproductive health. Disorders of reproduction include reduced fertility and impotence. Moreover, other forms of illicit drugs, such as heroin and marijuana, have been found mixed in e-juice in e-cigarettes. Besides, vaping only increased the heart rates of the participants and stiffened   their arteries.
Secondly, vaping should be banned among the teenagers because it can disturb their studies and learning process especially cognitive. This is because the high levels of nicotine making vaping is extremely addictive. Teenagers’ brains are still developing, making it easy for them to get addicted than adults. Apart from this, vaping initially increases their alertness and attention, but then experience a decrease in attention span. As well as that, nicotine in the e-juice can harm the parts of the brain that handle memory, attention and learning.Youth and young adults now are also at elevated risk of exposing their developing brains to nicotine for long-term, long-lasting effects. This is because nicotine often affects the formation of synapses, which can affect the brain parts that regulate awareness and learning.
Thirdly vaping should be banned among the teenagers because teens who vape are much more likely to start smoking cigarettes.young people who have never smoked traditional cigarettes take up e-cigarettes that are available in more than 1,500 flavours, including bubble gum and candy floss. To add more, the packaging of the e-juice is very enticing the way they look, so teens think 95% is water weight or vapor, so the packaging does little to convey the risks. In addition to this, smoking still positively portrayed in movies, and most vape juice sellers in particular has rebranded it to make vaping an even cooler alternative. Furthermore, one problem with vaping is that teens hear it is not as bad as smoking cigarettes for your health. Also, teenagers think that vape juice are mostly flavours and that they are inhaling a pleasant gas.
On the other hand, e-cigarette manufacturers claim they are helping adult smokers to quit smoking. However, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve e-cigarettes as an aid to quit smoking. This is because so far, there is limited evidence that e-cigarettes are effective to help smokers quit so far. Nevertheless, there are other proven, safe and effective ways to quit smoking. One way to start is to discuss the best strategies for the smokers is by doing a consultation with a doctor, nurse or a trained quit-line counsellor. Not only that, each country needs to take a stand, not only to track, but also to regulate the use of vapes; especially on illegal goods and online marketing that are now prevalent. To add on, kids must never be subjected to smoking, accessories must be child proof, and those marketing to children must be subject to harsh penalties. For consumers, appropriate branding must be followed, requiring adults to shop only.
In a nutshell, vape should be banned among teenagers because of so many relevant reasons including it can affect one’s health physically, disturbing their cognitive abilities and they will likely to start smoking cigarettes.

 
STOP BODY SHAMING                                                                               Thursday, 19 December
Body shaming ruins self-esteem.
By: Lily Adriana

Image result for body shaming

Body shaming is one of today's generation's biggest problems. Society finds amusement not only in degrading the body of a woman; it also finds humor in degrading the body of a man. For both genders, body shaming has become an issue. People are taking their own insecurities and pointing at other people to make their own body feel stronger. For example, a fashion designer degraded plus sized women by saying that they should not come to the KLFW (KL Fashion Week) as they will ruin the sight of participants and guests at the event.

The generation of today does not see the error in expressing their opinion. That's real, but it's not all right to shut out anyone with a particular type of body than they do. Our negative society managed to create more than one type of body shaming. Skinny shaming, fat shaming etc.

Around one third and half of young girls are scared to get fat and eat snack or detox. It also said girls as young as five years old are concerned about their appearance and height, and at least once one in four girls aged seven tried to lose weight. In fact, one percent of boys aged 8-12 suffer for weight loss. This just shows how much of a negative impact the acts of body shaming does to human beings.

There are several reasons why people of my generation are affected, including: we're too young to realize what's ' appropriate ' or ' wrong ' about our health; we're too easily influenced by celebrities and the media; we're overthrowing the opinions of other people about us and many of us don't even grasp what's wrong in saying, "You're not overweight, you're gorgeous."

Me, growing up, I've dealt with many comments about my body. Up until now, i still yet to receive comments saying that my body is fat and as if i have already given birth. Well, most of them that said that does have the same condition of body as mine which makes them nothing better than me. They are just bullies.

Come to think of it, what is wrong in being skinny or slightly overweight? At the end, we are humans, we can change for the better with proper motivations. For kids, being harsh on them regarding their bodies are not going to help. Let them enjoy food while they have the appetite to. You will be truly worried when they do not want to eat at all. Because people have been saying things of their body.

Stop body shaming. It is rude and not a cool thing to do. This ruins people, people's self-esteem and it just shows how frigid a person is by shaming people as a hobby.

Now if you will excuse me, I am going to raid my fridge.

The legalisation of Child Marriage in Malaysia


The Legalisation of Child Marriage in Malaysia

Child marriage is a marriage of a girl or boy that ages under 18 and refers to both formal marriage and informal unions in which children under age 18 live with a partner as married (Unicef, 2017). Child marriage might affects both gender but most of the time it affects girls especially in Southeast Asia.

According to the Department of Shariah Judiciary Malaysia (JKSM), the statistic of muslim child marriage applications dropped to 461 in 2018 from 1192 in 2013. But this case does not stops and buried there. It continues to gain more of child marriage in Malaysia. 

In Malaysia, Mujahid tried to push for all states to ban child marriage but it fails as there are 7 states who refuse to ban child marriage and it has given Putrajaya a weight to convince Islamic authorities to banned the case. Following revelation that seven states have refused to amend its law on the issue, Children’s Commissioner Datuk Aziah Mohd Awal said that Putrajaya can legislate so states raise the marriage floor age to 18 years old, but it would only apply to non-muslims (Jerry Chong, 2019). According to Ambiga Sreenevasan, she has read the concern statement by Deputy Prime Minister and Women, Family and Community Development Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, it is hoped that the government’s efforts to address the issue of child marriage holistically will soon bear fruit.

 “They face more risk of experiencing dangerous complications in pregnancy and childbirth, contracting HIV/AIDS and suffering domestic violence. With little access to education and economic opportunities, they and their families are more likely to live in poverty” said the coalition.

Ambiga continues with the government must also address the root causes which include education and poverty and also societal norms regarding girls’ sexuality and virginity. 

Another reason of why child marriage happened in Malaysia is because due to teenagers becoming pregnant and the young couple marrying to avoid the baby being declaired illegitimate, which legal consequences in relation to inheritance rights (Ambiga, 2019).

According to the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mujahid Yusof Rawa, one way for the federal government to push through the ban on child marriage is to bring it up with the Conference of Rulers. He said, the government can also try to convince the states  to ban child marriages through the National Islamic Affairs Council which met thrice a year (Opalyn Mok, 2019) 

In conclusion, child marriage gives a negative view towards Islam and should not be practiced by any religion as it will affect on the child and their future. In my opinion, child marriage should be banned in Malaysia as it will cause a lot of damages towards the child in terms of education, self and also poverty.

THE FOOD DIVERSITY IN MALAYSIA


     By: Emyrulisa Nadhrah binti Noordin (2018214254)


       Malaysia is a multiracial country. The majority of Malaysia's population can roughly be divided among three major ethnic groups which consist of Malays, Chinese and Indians. The main thing that connects them in one community is the diversity of food among these ethnicity which are Malay cuisine, Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine. This is very important for us Malaysian to know so that if we want to promote Malaysia to other people from different countries, we can surely give them the right facts about the foods that we have in Malaysia.

       Firstly, the Malay cuisine, which is the most commonly available as they are the biggest race in Malaysia. Generally, Malay cuisine can be distinguished through its ingredients such as coconut milk, spicy sourish tamarind and tomato sauce. The overall tone is spicy with a little tinge of sweetness. For instance, Nasi Lemak, Rendang, Beef floss, Shrimp paste with pounded chillies. Traditionally, Malays eat rice with "ulam" or shrimp paste with pounded chillies with right hand and never with the left hand.

       Secondly, there are varieties of Chinese traditional cuisine. Most of them are prepared with many ingredients and in different types of method. Usually, they prepare the food by boiling or frying method with the ingredients of flour, salt or sugar syrup, chicken meat and so on. For example, there are fried dumplings, soup dumplings, steamed or boiled dumplings. On the other hand, Chinese pastry is made in a variety of tastes and can be found during specific events. For instance, moon cakes.

       Lastly, Indian cuisine is famous with curry, banana leaf rice and breads such as chapati, naan and roti. Their food has been assimilated with Malay food through mix marriages of Indian Malay. For example, Mamak food which cannot be found in India are The Tarik (tea with milk), murtabak and rojak (a mixture of fruits with peanut sauce). In Malaysia, Indian foods are traditionally served on thali, a circular metal tray in which several small bowls are called katori also made from metals, are placed. Rice and bread are usually served on thali, while curries and other dishes are served in the bowls.

       As a Malaysian, I would like to promote about our foods to another country so that they know that Malaysia provides different types of foods. For instance, Malaysia should do a campaign or an event to promote the food that we have in Malaysia to the tourist who visits Malaysia such as a Food Festivals. This can surely attract the tourist with the culture of Malaysia.

       In a nutshell, there are Malaysian ethnicity create diversity of food which consists of Malay cuisine, Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine. Therefore, Malaysians should be very proud to be in a multiracial community that contributes to various types of food to savour and cherish.



Sex education should be taught in schools.

Sex education should be taught in schools.
By: Sarah Hanani

Sex education has now become one of the most popular topics that is frequently discussed. Sex education is not about sex alone. It is mainly about sexuality awareness, the form of contraception and how to avoid sexually transmitted diseases.
Many studies to prove the importance of sex education in schools have been done.There are several reasons to support school-based sex education that are motivation against sexual violence and knowledge of the dangers and negative effects that may occur in the case of inappropriate sexual behavior.
Nevertheless, when there is a lack of skilled instructor to educate the students about the right information in sex education, sex education in school may have gone wrong.
Sex education provides the student with sexual violence control. This is because sex education can help the student biologically understand themselves and prepare to confront the world without becoming a victim to sexual predators.
We may be conscious, for instance, of good and bad contact.The child molester has been identified in many cases. Sex education can thus provide the individual with information to defend themselves. It also empowers students to speak if their sexual preferences are violated regardless of gender.
In addition, sex education should increase the student's understanding of the danger and negative effects that may result from inappropriate sexual behaviour, but we must first realize that sex education does not teach students how to have sex at an early age.
This tells them about the possible physical, cultural, and biological dimensions of maintaining a healthy sex life. For example, students may be familiar with the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or HIV and AIDS, as well as unplanned pregnancy that may occur due to lack of knowledge and education in proper and safe sex techniques.
Last but not least, although the sex education in school has many advantages, it also has its drawbacks. Mostly teachers with the mission of teaching sex education are not experts and have an uncertain understanding of their own sexual health.
The student can misunderstand the unskilled teacher's knowledgeFor example, if sex education is not properly taught, it may lead students to assume that pre-marriage intercourse is desired simply because they hear about it. This is even more dangerous because incorrect information will leave the student with an incorrect perception.
In a nutshell, it is important to have sex education in schools as it is known to teach students about gender and sexual health issues.
In encouraging successful sex education for growing children, a school plays an important role. It should start as early as possible.
Sex education can thus help students become more comfortable in their sexual development and apply safety measures to avoid early sexual activity threats and negative effects.

TO THE BETTER FUTURE



Education nowadays is a very important aspect of setting a bright future especially for young people today. At the university, there are also many programs organized to foster students' learning interest in a better way.

This is one of the good ways on how to educate students about the education and make them realise how important to have a better future in their life. 

For example, on December 12, a ground breaking project called Baitul Aqwaf was inaugurated by the state secretary, YB Dato' Seri Hasim Bin Hasan in UiTM Kampus Alor Gajah and it is the rector's special project.

According to the head project, Dr. Amirul Azwan Bin Abdul Aziz, this program involves two parts which are entrepreneurial field and research garden.

The entrepreneurial field is provided approximately in the planning of 5-8 booths that will be responsible for each faculty for student entrepreneurship according activities to the faculty.

Moreover, the research garden is a place that specially designed for students and lecturers to conduct research activities.

In my opinion, this program is a new beginning for all students and lecturers at UiTM Melaka. With such a golden opportunity I hope all students can use it well and take full advantage of it and no more spending time to the things that are no beneficial.

The opening the entrepreneurial field gives students the opportunity to venture into the field of entrepreneurship that will benefit them the most. The students can learn how to start small businesses and get the income to use it for the study purpose. Plus, it can help them to gain side income.

Furthermore, for the research garden it helps students and faculty to conduct research activities and facilitate them because of the closer location. Thus they no longer have to go to libraries or other places that are quite limited to use in the university.

This is a very good project as it will give many benefit and rewarding project for everyone within the university that will help students and faculty to get better in the future.

As it is a project waqf, I think everyone needs to help each other to further this project. I hope students can take this opportunity and use it well for learning purpose that might help them in the future.

Based on the example, I think university and schools should do more programs that bring many benefits to the students as it will help them to have fun and to make it easier for them in their study. By that, study life will be exciting and help them to achieve their dreams.

In addition, to have a better future parents also need to incorporate early learning into their children's lives at home so that they are more likely to succeed at school or university.  This can also encourage them to receive the full support of parents since child.

To conclude, the university should create more scholarly programs for students to ensure that they succeed in education and have a bright future.  It is also important for parents to support their children regarding in their studies.

   The idea of the project came from the Rector himself which is a good example for the students in UiTM Alor Gajah because if we would like to produce a generation of responsible and broad minded people, we as the elder genration should start by showing a great example towards the younger generation. We should also work together so that such goals can be achieved and the younger generation could follow in our steps.
