Healthy Food To Gain Weight for Skinny Persons

 

For people of developed and prosperous countries, their problem is being overweight, so they try how to reduce their weight, because it is believed that being overweight can cause various diseases. On the other hand, in certain areas that are not yet so prosperous, there are even many emaciated residents who make their appearance less good. Well, they need to increase their weight. Here we will discuss some healthy foods that can increase weight

1.        Rice

 

Rice is the main food in various parts of the world, including Indonesia, which can help you gain weight. In 100 grams of rice, there are 175 calories and 40 grams of carbohydrates. Rice is a calorie-dense food, containing quite high calories and carbohydrates in one serving. Plus when you eat rice, you also add a variety of side dishes. Thus, the calories that enter your body also increase.

2.        Red Meat

A dish of grilled red meat, coupled with a delicious sauce, and served with fried potatoes and vegetables, makes it a complete and delicious dish. Steak meat can also contribute quite a lot of calories for those of you who want to gain weight. You can also get fat if you eat fatty meat, of course this also contributes a lot of extra calories for you.

In addition to the calories you get, meat also provides a lot of protein and amino acids. In 6 ounces of meat contained 3 grams of the amino acid leucine. Leucine is needed to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and add new muscle tissue.

3.         Peanut

The next source of plant-based protein is nuts. However, in nuts you can also find omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and fiber. Nuts also provide sufficient calories. Almonds, for example, in 100 grams can provide 21 grams of protein, 49 grams of fat, and 575 calories. You can add peanuts or processed nuts, such as peanut butter, in your daily diet. This can help you in gaining weight.

4.        Avocado

One of the fruits that contain healthy fats is avocado. Therefore, avocados are included in the fruit that has a lot of calories. This fruit can certainly help you in gaining weight. One large avocado weighing 200 grams can provide 322 calories, 29 grams of fat, and 17 grams of fiber. You can eat it straight or add this fruit to your diet.

5.        Milk

This  drink can also help you gain weight, especially if you drink full cream milk which contains full fat. Milk contains many nutrients, such as protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Milk is also a good source of calcium for you. If you don't want to drink it, you can add it to cereals, puddings, smoothies, and more.

6.        Yogurt

These healthy foods can also help you gain weight, especially if you opt for full-fat yogurt. In addition, you can also add fruits, nuts, honey, and granola in a glass of yogurt as your breakfast. This can help you get extra calories

7.        Chesse

Cheese is widely used to wrap food today. Almost everyone likes it. There is no match for its deliciousness, but it also saves a lot of calories and fat. For those of you who want to gain weight, this could be one way for you. One ounce of cheddar cheese, for example, contains 113 calories and 9 grams of fat (6 grams of saturated fat). Cheese is also a source of protein and calcium.

8.         Dried Fruit

Dried fruit such as raisins are often added to foods, such as cakes, puddings, yogurt, and smoothies. However, do not get me wrong that this fruit contains few calories. In fact, dried fruit contains more calories than fresh fruit. One glass of dried fruit contains 5-8 times more calories and sugar than one glass of fresh fruit. So, dried fruit can be a good solution for those of you who want to gain weight. In addition, dried fruit also contains antioxidants as well as vitamins and minerals.

Those are 8 healthy foods that can be consumed for those who want to gain weight so that their appearance looks healthy and prosperous. good luck

 

 

 

 

Bad Consequences If You Expect Too Much To Meet Other People's Expectation

It's common  in this life anyone is always a hope or expectation of the environment. Starting from the family , the surrounding  and the community. New born baby, the parents' hope is already in the baby. They hope the baby  to be a pious child, smart, and so on. Likewise, when school, parents hope that every time they receive their child's report card, they will be ranked first.

This continues. Many parents want their children to go to school, some want their children to go to public schools, some want to go to madrasas, Islamic boarding schools and so on. And expectations apply to all aspects of life, such as behavior, speech, manners, behavior and so on and so on. So that many people in this life behave not as they want but act like the expectations of their environment.

Meeting other people's expectations   is indeed a positive thing. But if we always hope to fulfill it, of course it is not good, we are not free to act and act, work and express as we desire.   In fact, Hamas, Nurhan RT, who wrote on IDNTIMES COM, stated that there are 5 bad effects that occur if we expect too much to meet the expectations of others, namely:

1. You always depend on happiness based on validation from others

The first bad impact is that you will not be able to make your own version of happiness. 

If you always depend on the benchmark of happiness based on the validation of others, then you will be confused what is the true meaning of happiness in your opinion? If that happens, as a result, your life will only be about what other people think so that true happiness is difficult to happen.

2. You will feel burdened in living everyday life

Not only is it difficult to find true happiness, you will always feel burdened if you often meet other people's expectations. This is because you always try not to make mistakes so as not to be blasphemed by others.

At first glance, you are so careful in socializing. However, in reality you feel depressed because you are living a life that is not what you want. From now on, try to stop this habit because it will only make you suffer.

3. You will tend to underestimate your own abilities

Thinking too much about other people's expectations will only make it easy for you to underestimate your own abilities. This can happen because you only focus on the bad scorn from others about you. So, you rarely appreciate all your efforts. 

In fact, you need to appreciate every hard work that has been done by yourself, you know. So that this does not happen, try not to underestimate yourself, okay?

4. You will use various ways to fulfill expectations, even if it hurts

Someone who often tries to meet the expectations of others is identical to a hard working attitude but in a negative context.

If usually someone will work hard for their own achievement, but in this case you do it for the fulfillment of other people's expectations. You will also try to do things even though it is beyond your ability.

If you keep doing it, sooner or later it will torture you.

5. If you fail to meet other people's expectations, you will become stressed

It was previously mentioned that someone who is used to meeting other people's expectations will tend to be willing to do everything. If you don't stop, bad things will happen, namely   prolonged stress if you fail to meet expectations. 

The stress that arises is not because of disappointment, but fear of blasphemy from others. Bad things like this should not happen, because failure is a natural thing. 

After reading this article, cut back on meeting other people's expectations of you. Remember that what saves your life from adversity is yourself, not other people's expectations. good luck!

One Day Trip Success Tips

One day trip is a traveling trip that only takes one day. That is, we leave in the morning and in the evening or at night we return home. This one day trip is relatively easy to do because the time is short and there is no need to wait for time off and so on. The cost is also cheaper because we don't have to pay for lodging. But even if it's only one day the fun doesn't lose, you know.

Now, how does a one day trip succeed and be maximally successful? For this reason, I deliberately quote a tip written by Isna Triono which was published in Karya. ID

1. Nearby destinations

Choose a tourist destination that is close to your city and can be reached in only 1-2 hours away. If there's a point of interest in town that you've never explored, that's even better. Because there is nothing wrong with being a 'tourist' in your own city. After all, you can still get exciting experiences and new atmospheres.

2. Use the services of a trip organizer

Currently, there are so many trip organizers that offer one day trip packages at low prices. The advantage of using a trip organizer is that you no longer need to worry about which destinations to stop at or about transportation. Trip organizers also usually provide meals for guests. Practical isn't it?

3. Arrange the itinerary as efficiently as possible

An efficient itinerary makes our one day trip maximum. Unlike usual traveling, we are chased by time to visit several areas, one day trips can usually only visit 1-2 places. And that makes us maximally explore the area.

4. Depart at dawn

With an earlier start time, you can more fully enjoy a one day trip. This is one of the effective tricks so that in one day, you can enjoy a short vacation.

5. Prepare a spare battery or power bank

One day trips can also give you an exciting experience and enrich your social media accounts. So, bring a spare battery or power bank so you can take as many photos as you want.  Good luck.

10 creative ways to teach English that deliver outstanding results

Anna Waren

The English subject leader and the year 6 teacher at Holy Trinity and St Silas School, London.

As an English teacher at an outstanding primary, Anna Warren is often asked for inspiration. Here she shares her favourite approaches for creative English lessons.

As a creative school, with a track record in fantastic English results, we are often asked what our specific approach is: how do we teach through the arts yet manage to maintain such high expectations from all our pupils? I'd like to share some of these approaches with you:

Immersion activities

How can children access stories, poems and other texts if their minds and imaginations not fully engaged? We have found that immersing children in a range of creative activities before reading the text means that they are fully prepared, and excited, about the reading journey ahead of them. Through painting, music composition, a film project, in role drama or sculpture, the kids have had a chance to share vocabulary, ideas and concepts which gives their reading fresh meaning and purpose.

Clear purpose

What's the point of reading and writing anything if you don't know why you're doing it? We aim to provide children with a clear purpose to all reading, and especially writing tasks. Whether it's an invitation to the headteacher to attend a class assembly, an email to an author or an article for a school newspaper, our children know why the quality of their writing matters: because there will be a real audience for their published work.

Professional publishing

One effective way of valuing children's work as well as providing a real incentive, is to plan for a range of ways to publish their writing. Recent examples include a whole school bookmaking project. Following a whole school Inset on bookbinding techniques, every class published their own shared book; one example being an anthology of short spooky stories composed by year 6. Their stories were mounted on handmade paper, accompanied with each child's art work (lino cut style prints on metallic paper) with a dramatic paper cut out front cover. The effort the children put into their work was immense, and the results were stunning as a result. The anthology has been enjoyed by parents and other pupils and the children's pride in their work is clear to see.

Meaningful planning

Where possible, learning in English is linked with subjects within the creative curriculum we follow: the international primary curriculum (IPC). Well in advance of teaching, teachers collaborate and share their ideas for planning through a mind mapping process. Meaningful, creative activities are planned for, ensuring that all staff members know exactly what the children will be learning and why.

Focused on strategies

The teaching of reading is not easy. As children's fluency in reading increases, it's hard to know what reading skills need to be taught, and when. We ensure that specific reading strategies are modelled explicitly to the class; this provides children with a holistic bank of skills to draw upon. This could include scanning a text, making an inference, predicting or creating a mental image. Our teachers use 'think aloud' statements to model to the children how these skills are used, and how they can help them become better readers. These strategies are then shared as a class, and then assessed in follow up guided reading activities.

Inspirational learning environment

Take a trip to our school and you'll find classroom environments that inspire adults and children alike. Not only is the children's work displayed creatively, but there is a range of learning prompts to inspire and support all pupils. We want to encourage our children to discover new texts, genres and authors, so our reading areas are inviting, well resourced and highly organised. Pupils can choose from an exciting array of reading material: newspapers, classic texts, reference books as well as the children's own published stories are just some examples of what book corners might offer.

Drama to engage and inspire

The use of drama is such a powerful tool. Taking the lead from our drama specialist, all teaching staff use a range of techniques to promote the exploration of characters, situations and historical events. This process expands the pupils' imaginations, and provides them with the ideas they need to give their writing that extra spark and flair.

Rigorous teaching of spelling and phonics

In the infants, phonics is streamed, so all children can benefit from tailored teaching, making maximum progress as a result. All phonics and spelling activities are fun, multi sensory and as physical possible, the aim being to meet all learning styles in the class. In the juniors, we try to make homework lists as personalised to the child as possible to ensure that the spelling patterns stick in a meaningful way.

Grammar concepts taught creatively

Grammar cannot be taught as a stand alone activity. What's the point of that? Children begin to understand grammar concepts, and start to apply them in their own writing, when they start to read with a writer's mind. Punctuation rules and techniques are drawn from shared texts; texts which the children have already been immersed in and have a good understanding of. Exploring these, and embedding them creatively is how the learning takes place.

Peer and self assessment

What child doesn't love marking somebody else's work? With a clear marking key, success criteria and purpose in mind, children set about assessing either their own, or a partner's piece of writing. Modelled through the teacher's own formative marking, pupils know what the expectations are. They are well trained in searching for successful examples of the learning intention, articulating their responses to the work, checking the writing matches any targets and giving constructive feedback. Seeing the children learn from each other in this way is hugely positive; you know you've done your job well.

The art of reflection: how to become a more thoughtful educator

Jamie Thom

 Reflecting on how you’re doing in the classroom can help you take ownership of your teaching and identify areas for improvement

https://www.theguardian.com/teacher-network/teacher-blog/2018/feb/10/the-art-of-reflection-how-to-become-a-more-thoughtful-educator

In an effort to improve my teaching practice, I’ve made some pretty unattainable teaching resolutions in the past. I’ve told myself I’ll conquer all behaviour management issues; work-life balance will be my new middle name; and the marking pile will be seamlessly controlled. But such resolutions are usually made during the holidays, and it doesn’t take long for them to dissipate once I’ve returned to the classroom.

 

Most teachers are passionate about what they do. But research suggests that after the first few years of teaching they can begin to stagnate in their practice. It’s easy for frustrations about making the same mistakes to creep in, and we often look for quick fixes. As Dylan William suggests: “Teachers are like magpies. They love picking up shiny little ideas from one classroom; taking it back to their classroom; trying it once, and then moving on to the next shiny idea.”

So how can teachers energise themselves and become more thoughtful educators? I’ve found that taking control of my development through regular reflection and follow-up actions has helped me take ownership of my teaching and better understand how I can improve. Here are four tips for doing the same.

  Ask yourself how you want to improve
Teaching is a remarkably complex, multifaceted skill, and there is never a sense of having “mastered” it. While this could be an intimidating idea, it’s actually one of the most energising and exciting things about the profession.

Regularly recording your thoughts can help you track progress and make informed decisions about how to move forward

Realising this begins to remove the stress and competitive element of the job. The goal becomes more simple: to be one step better than you were before. Ask yourself what aspect of teaching you want to improve on. How will you do this? Consider the impact of any changes you’re making in the classroom. Picking a pedagogical focus for each half term is a useful approach: last term I focused on the impact of refining different questioning styles.

Track your progress

Regularly recording your thoughts can help you track progress and make informed decisions about how to move forward. Writing a diary is one option, or you might prefer to join the huge number of teachers sharing their ideas more publicly with online blogs (anonymous or otherwise).
If you are dealing with stress, for example, recording your thoughts over time could help identify the source of the difficulty and what you might do to cope. Or in looking at your students’ understanding of your subject, you might reflect on your ability to give clear explanations, and then experiment with the pace and words you use.
I’ve found that taking 10 minutes to write at the end of the school day is useful for understanding interactions between myself and my students.

Read around your subject

Individual observations can only go so far. There are a range of educational books and a growing body of educational research that can help to fuel this more thoughtful approach to teaching.

Read more

Last year, I decided to read 12 books to guide my efforts towards self-improvement. I had to make time in a full timetable, but the process helped me think more clearly about what I wanted to change.One book a term can provide a roadmap to stimulating reflection; as you read you experiment in your classroom and consider the impact. It can be very motivating to see the small gains in your teaching as your repertoire of skills continues to develop.

Find a coach

Coaching can help too. Primary assistant headteacher Aidan Severs has written about how his school’s coaching model is inspiring teachers to fine-tune their practice.
If your school doesn’t have a formal coaching structure, you could look at starting an informal coaching relationship with a colleague. Sometimes we need others to guide our thinking through questioning and probing, and a coaching relationship can motivate you to improve.

8 Important Reasons For Teaching Kindness in Schools

https://edarticle.com/8-important-reasons-for-teaching-kindness-in-schools/ 

Most people have heard the phrase ‘random acts of kindness’, which refers to a selfless act of giving resulting in the happiness of another person. Terms like this are increasing in popularity around the world, as more people identify a deficiency in their lives that can only be fulfilled by altruism.
It seems we just can’t get enough of those addictive feel good emotions and with good reason.
Scientific studies have shown that kindness has a great number of physical and emotional benefits, and that children require a healthy dose of the warm and fuzzies in order to flourish as health, happy, well-rounded individuals.

Patty O’Grady, PhD, is an expert in the area of neuroscience, emotional learning, and positive psychology with special attention to the educational arena. She believes that “kindness changes the brain by the experience of kindness. Children and adolescents do not learn kindness by only thinking about it and talking about it. Kindness is best learned by feeling it so that they can reproduce it. Kindness is an emotion that students feel and empathy is a strength that they share.”
A great number of benefits have been reported to support the theory of teaching kindness in schools:

1. Happy Children

Science explains that the good feelings we experience when being kind are produced by endorphins that activate areas of the brain that are associated with pleasure, social connection and trust, and it’s proven that these feelings of joyfulness are contagious, encouraging more kind behaviour by the giver and recipient.

2. Increased Peer Acceptance

Research on the subject has determined that kindness increases our ability to form meaningful connections with others. Studies show that kind, happy children enjoy greater peer acceptance because they are well-liked and that better than average mental health is reported in classrooms that practice more inclusive behaviour due to an even distribution of popularity.

3. Improved Health and Less Stress

It’s widely documented that being kind can trigger a release of the hormone oxytocin which has a number of physical and mental health benefits as it can significantly increase a person’s level of happiness and reduce stress. More recently though, it’s been found it plays a significant role in the cardiovascular system, helping protect the heart by lowering blood pressure and reducing free radicals and inflammation, which incidentally speed up the aging process.

4. Greater Sense of Belonging and Improved Self Esteem

Studies show that people experience a ‘helpers high’ when they do a good deed, a rush of endorphins that creates a lasting sense of pride, wellbeing and an enriched sense of belonging. Even small acts of kindness are reported to heighten our sense of wellbeing, increase energy and give a wonderful feeling of optimism and self worth.

5. Increased Feelings of Gratitude

When children are part of projects that help others less fortunate than themselves, it provides them with a real sense of perspective and helps them appreciate the good things in their own lives.

6. Better Concentration and Improved Results

As it increases serotonin, which plays an important part in learning, memory, mood, sleep, health and digestion, kindness is a key ingredient that helps children feel good. Having a positive outlook allows them greater attentions spans and enables more creative thinking to produce better results at school.

7. Less Bullying

Two Penn State Harrisburg faculty researchers, Shanetia Clark and Barbara Marinak say, “unlike previous generations, today’s adolescents are victimizing each other at alarming rates.” They argue adolescent bullying and youth violence can be confronted through in-school programs that integrate “kindness — the antithesis of victimization.”
Many traditional anti-bullying programs focus on the negative actions that cause children anxiety and often with little impact. Teaching kindness and compassion in schools, not only fosters the positive behaviour that creates warm and inclusive school environments, but helps children feel that they belong. It’s documented that the effects of bullying can be significantly reduced by integrating kindness based programs in schools.

8. Reduced Depression

Dr. Wayne Dyer, internationally renowned author and speaker, says research has discovered that an act of kindness increases levels of serotonin (a natural chemical responsible for improving mood) in the brain. It’s also found that serotonin levels are increased in both the giver and receiver of an act of kindness, as well as anyone who witnesses that kindness, making it a wonderful natural antidepressant.
Maurice Elias, a professor at Rutgers University Psychology Department says that “as a citizen, grandparent, father, and professional, it is clear to me that the mission of schools must include teaching kindness. Without it, communities, families, schools, and classrooms become places of incivility where lasting learning is unlikely to take place.
We need to be prepared to teach kindness, because it can be delayed due to maltreatment early in life. It can be smothered under the weight of poverty, and it can be derailed by victimization later in life. Yet despite these and other travails, the receipt of kindness and the ability to show kindness through service are both growth enhancing and soul cleansing.
Kindness can be taught, and it is a defining aspect of civilized human life. It belongs in every home, school, neighborhood, and society.”
It’s become quite clear that modern education must encompass more than just academics, that in order for children to develop into happy, confident, well-rounded individuals, matters of the heart must be taken seriously and nurtured as a matter of priority.

Character Education
