GERD ialah gastroesophageal reflux disease

pencernaan. Ia berlaku apabila refluks asid

COVID-19 VS
TOURISM AND
HOSPITALITY

INDUSTRY

By: Wan Nor Hafiza binti Wan Sulaiman
Politeknik Merlimau, Melaka

The tourism and hospitality industry:
what are it?

Short-term visitors that remain for at least 24 hours in a place
are referred to as tourists. Their visit can be categorised as
leisure if they go for enterrainment, health, sports, vacation,
study or religious reasons.

Traveling and visiting are considered to be part of the tourist
industry. It is simply a grouping of associated tourist activities
that take place when someone travels to a place. Everyone
benefits from well-managed tourism. Since it diversifies the
economy and provides employment, this industry can be
particularly important in regional areas.

Originating from the latin word "hospes," which meaning "host,"
hospitality has its roots in ancient history (one who gives food,
lodging, or entertainment for a guest or visitor). Ancient Greeks
employed the word "xenia" to designate the sacred standard of
hospitality, which is the kindness and consideration shown to
those who are far from home or to friends or relatives of the
person providing guest-friendship. being at ease when being
distant from home and in an unfamiliar environment.

PENGENALAN

Bidang Pelancongan & Perhotelan
mula mengorak langkah setelah
Covid 19 melanda Malaysia sejak
Mac 2020. Setelah lama industri ini
‘terduduk” dan mula bernafas semula,
Malaysia telah menerima lebih satu
juta pelancong selepas sempadan
Malaysia dibuka sejak 1 April 2022.
Menteri Pelancongan, Seni dan
Budaya, Nancy Shukri memaklumkan
bahawa dijangkakan lebih ramai
pelancong terutama dari Jepun, Iran
dan Korea akan datang ke Malaysia.
Pelancong yang datang ke Malaysia
kebanyakannya lebih gemar untuk
memilih hotel yang mempunyai
Pensijilan Halal Malaysia berikutan
keyakinan mereka terhadap
keselamatan makanan yang
disajikan.

Setelah Covid 19 melandai, kerajaan Malaysia berdasarkan prosedur standard operasi yang
terkini, telah membenarkan bidang perhotelan dan juga restoran untuk beroperasi semula
seperti biasa. Disebabkan permintaan yang tinggi terhadap sektor perhotelan di Malaysia.,
Industri perhotelan mula bersaing sesama sendiri dalam menawarkan perkhidmatan sedia ada
kepada pelanggan termasuklah dengan adanya Pensijilan Halal Malaysia.

fresh muffins are in high demand. With
addition, quick breads have the benefit
of being simple to make in an almost
limitless variety of ingredients, including
whole wheat flour, rye flour, cornmeal,
bran, oats, and a variety of fruits, nuts,
and spices. Even breads containing
veggies have gained popularity.

sugar, inhibits gluten formation. When
muffin batter is overmixed, it produces not
just hardness, but also uneven forms and
large, elongated holes within the muffins.
The term for this situation is tunneling.

Biscuit doughs are usually lightly kneaded,
just enough to aid in the development of
flakiness but not enough to toughen the
product.

Mixing Methods

The majority of quick bread doughs and
batters are mixed using one of three
methods.

Biscuit Method

The biscuit method is used to make
biscuits, scones, and other related items. It
is frequently referred to as the pastry
method since it is similar to the process
used to make pie pastry.

14

Mixing Methods

Muffin Method

Muffins, pancakes, waffles, and numerous
loaf- or sheet-type quick breads are made
using the muffin method. This procedure
is quick and simple. The danger is that
dough can become overmixed quickly,
resulting in hardness. The muffin batter
should only be mixed until the dry
ingredients are moistened. Do no attempt
to make a smooth batter.

Creaming Method Figure 3: Quick bread batter

The creaming method is a cake-mixing
technique that is also used to make
muffins and loaf breads. The creaming
method takes longer to complete than
the muffin method. It does, however,
produce fine-textured foods and presents
less of a risk of overmixing. Because it
helps blend the components more
consistently, the creaming process is
especially effective for products with a
high fat and sugar content.

CONCLUSION

Quick bread is great for getting started in the kitchen. Quick bread is called "quick"
because it must be baked or cooked soon after being mixed. They're basic, quick, and
simple to learn.

17

Now, let us explore further. Here is some
beginner’s guide to nutrition. The first concept you
must remember is most naturally occurring foods
are mixtures of nutrients. You probably imagine
that milk and meat as sources of protein while
bread and grain as sources of carbohydrates.
Nope! These naturally occurring foods actually
contain mixtures of nutrients. Bread is
carbohydrate, but in reality it also consists of water,
protein, fat, some vitamins and minerals. which are
nutrients.

Second concept is variety in foods consumption Figure 2 : A variety choice of fruits and

health.

type of food only. There is no ‘perfect’ natural food that consists of all nutrients in amount

that are needed by the body. in order to get nutritionally adequate diet, you must eat variety

of foods especially fruits and vegetables and remember, less processed food is the key!

Third concept is there are no “good” or “bad” foods, enjoy eating all foods in moderation.
We tend to feel guilty when we eat junk food. Do you think that junk food is a bad food?
Should ice cream, carbonated drink be classified as junk food? Actually, no food deserves to
be labelled as “bad” or “junk”, because either the foods are nutrient dense or empty calorie,
all foods have nutritional value. Although confectionaries normally contain lots of sugar and
fat, these foods also supply small amounts of vitamins, proteins or minerals to our body. It is
not the food that is “bad”, but what matter most is how far we manage to control ourselves to
eat them in moderation. Eating too many empty calorie foods will surely displace more
nutritious foods from our diet.

Next, for each nutrient, there is a range of safe intake. We need to understand that for each
nutrient, there is safe physiologic doses for optimal body function. For example, a person
whose diets contain too little or under dosage of vitamin B12 can be at risk of developing
vitamin B12 deficiency disease such as anaemia. However, if someone go for mega dosage
of nutrients for example, megadose intake of vitamin C for skin beauty purpose will cause
intestinal upset and diarrhea. Therefore, taking megadoses of vitamin C will be wasteful,
because excesses of vitamin are not well absorbed and will be eliminated in urine. Alert that
when taken in very high amounts, many nutrients especially vitamins and minerals behave
like drugs and can be toxic to us. Don’t forget that “more is not always better”.

Conclusion

As a conclusion, in order to understand nutrition, there are several key point for us to
take note. Most natural foods are basically mixtures of different nutrients, but there is
no one individual food that contains all nutrients needed for optimal health. Thus, to
ensure that we get adequate diet, we must consume variety of foods. Avoid
classifying food as “bad” or “good”, we should focus eating any food in moderation,
that’s the best way. Never forget that for each nutrient, there is range of safe intake.
Do not cross the border line! There is no such thing like “one size fits all” approach
when we want to practice a nutritionally adequate diet. Last but not least, the key for a
nutritious diet is that when we apply concept of adequate, balance, variety and
moderate. To a healthier eating pattern, I wish you best of luck!

Crescentrating menjadikan keperluan perkhidmatan berasaskan
kepercayaan (faith-based service needs) dalam penentuan kriteria
penarafan. Berdasarkan kajian yang dilakukan, pada tahun 2009 didapati
terdapat enam kunci asas kepercayaan yang mempengaruhi kepenggunaan
pelancong Muslim iaitu: makanan halal, prasarana solat, perkhidmatan
sepanjang Ramadan, tandas mesra air, tiada aktiviti tidak halal serta
prasarana dan perkhidmatan rekreasi dengan privasi. Pada tahun 2019,
berdasarkan kajian semula terhadap keperluan perkhidmatan berasaskan
kepercayaan dalam (faith-based service needs), Crescentrating menambah
tiga lagi kunci asas kepercayaan iaitu: bebas Islamophobia, faktor penyebab
sosial (social causes) dan pengalaman Muslim tempatan
(MastercardCrescentRating 2019).

- CONCLUSION -

Take a deep breath!!! Halal is not so difficult. While each of us is responsible
for our own actions or conscience that determines whether you make the
choice of eating that food or not, this task can be made easier if you can
follow some of the points mentioned above as guidelines. I hope this has
eased your worries of deciding how to eat halal food while traveling without
the guidance of halal logo .
Islam is a religion of ease. Allah facilitates ease for the Muslim, especially the
traveler. In order to make the most of your journey whilst adhering to the
integrals of Islam, doing your research ahead of time is key. Knowing that
you have done everything possible to eat halal while travelling, can really
afford you a peace of mind during your time away.

Love deeply, eat well, travel often,
laugh always!

INTRODUCTION

In the past, mass tourism served as the primary mode of expression of modern
tourism; it was conducted by a small group of people who wished to obtain new
experiences while being mindful of their surroundings. Thoughtful tourism is one
of the most common human activities that can satisfy a person's desire for a novel
experience. People's minds are constantly searching for the greatest ways to
relieve stress and enjoy life.

that a visitor to the area will eat at

The biggest draw for tourists looking to sample native cuisine in
Malaysia is a year-round collection of festivals. A celebration like the
Ramadan Bazaar or the Chinese New Year.

CONCLUSION

The identification of new gastronomic experiences will flourish the local culinary
scene and introduce the tourist with an experience that will complete their
vacation experience. As for the conclusion, gastronomy tourism offers the
diversification of tourism products. Their main priority when visiting Malaysia again
will be the broad variety of authentic cuisine Malaysia offers.

KEPERLUAN AIR DALAM
TUBUH BADAN

Selaras dengan bukti saintifik dan status pemakanan rakyat Malaysia
yang terkini, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia telah memperkenalkan
Piramid Makanan Malaysia 2020, yang merupakan semakan semula
kepada Piramid Makanan sedia ada termasuklah saranan pengambilan
air iaitu 6-8 gelas air kosong sehari. Pengambilan air yang mencukupi
dapat memastikan badan kita sentiasa terhidrat bagi menjaga kesihatan
terutama di musim pandemik Covid-19 ini. Piramid Makanan Malaysia
memberi panduan kepada kita dalam menentukan jenis dan kuantiti
makanan yang perlu diambil setiap hari mengikut kumpulan makanan.
Terdapat 4 aras dalam Piramid Makanan Malaysia, di mana bilangan
kumpulan makanan paling banyak yang perlu di ambil diletakkan pada
dasar pyramid seperti Rajah 1.

KEPERLUAN AIR DALAM
TUBUH BADAN

Perincian bagi setiap pengiraan keperluan air yang diperlukan oleh tubuh
badan adalah berdasarkan kepada beberapa faktor seperti faktor
persekitaran (iklim dan aktiviti fizikal), faktor pemakanan dan faktor fisiologi
seperti terdapat didalam Malaysian Dietary Guideline 2020 yang telah
dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Pengiraan keperluan air
berdasar RNI untuk orang dewasa seperti didalam Jadual 1. Meminum 8
gelas air yang disyorkan oleh pakar pemakanan dapat membantu tubuh
berfungsi pada tahap yang optimum. Bagaimanapun, jumlah tersebut
perlu ditambah sekiranya jenis pekerjaan anda memerlukan yang bekerja
di luar pejabat seperti pekerja-pekerja dalam bidang keselamatan dan
pembinaan. Selain itu, individu yang aktif bersukan juga perlu
meningkatkan pengambilan air supaya tubuh badan sentiasa dalam
keadaan hidrat.

SUMBER AIR DALAM BADAN

Tubuh manusia memerlukan air yang cukup setiap hari, menurut Persatuan Dietetik British,
tubuh badan memerlukan kira -kira enam – lapan gelas cecair sehari. Cecair juga boleh
didapati daripada makanan yang kita ambil. Buah -buahan dan sayur sayuran sahaja
sudah mempunyai 80-90 peratus kandungan cecair daripada berat asalnya. Selain dari
buah bauahan dan syuar sayuran, terdapat juga makanan lain yang tinggi kandungan air
seperti dan susu, kopi, teh, yoguart, sup, bubur dan lain lain. Peratusan air didalam
makanan dan minuman lain ini juga perlu diambilkira didalam jumlah air yang diperlukan
oleh seseorang. Pengambilan air berlebihan didalam badan manusia akan menyebabkan
overhydration dimana badanmengalami keracunan air kerana amaun elektrolit serta
garam yang keluar terlalu banyak. Keadaan ini boleh juga menyebabkan hyponatremia di
mana elektrolit dan garam dalam tubuh badan menjadi sangat sedikit. Buah pinggang
juga akan bekerja keras untuk mengeluarkan lebihan air yang berlrbihan didalam tubuh
badan dan fungsi buah pinggang mungkin akan terganggu dan air tidak mampu dibuang
sepenuhnya.
