The internet is used to exchange information in the form of text, images, video, audio and others. Social media itself is a tool for communicating and exchanging information.

Dancing Her Way Through Each Event

Along with the development of the times and technology, communication with friends is easier to do through social media. Social media is a communication technology that can be accessed by all groups. The Ministry of Communication and Informatics revealed that there are 63,000,000 internet users in Indonesia. Of these figures, 95% use the internet to access social networks. With social media, it makes it easier for us to find out what our friends are doing, where they are, and the latest news from our family.

Not only that, social media helps us to maintain our relationship with our friends

In modern times like this are online friends real friends? When people communicate online, they initially trust the person, but over time that trust fades. On social media people share experiences. Researchers call this selfdisclosure. When you share how you feel with other people you will feel good and allow others to like you more. But according to research, not a few people use social media to share intimate photos with their online friends.

An UGM (Gadjah Mada University) student in Indonesia was harassed online. This is included in the category of sexual harassment, unwanted touch, as well as sexting.

We live in a time of constant communication. Wherever our friends are, or how long we haven't seen them, as long as they are on social media we don't feel out of touch. We think social media can keep us in touch with our friends. Social media is like a tool for us to stay connected with our friends, by liking our friends' posts, social media gives us the opportunity to get back in touch with our friends even after not seeing each other for a long time. Social media is one of the internet products that makes it easier for humans to communicate, both those who already know and those who don't know.

In addition to impacting sexting, social media has a negative impact on friendships. Social media can distance our offline friends because face-to-face interactions with our friends will decrease. Many people believe the internet makes their lives better and gives them the opportunity to make more friends. When in fact the internet makes people have less friends in real life, they interact too much with their friends online and too little interaction with their friends in the real world. Being in cyberspace has made us forget that direct relationships are just as important. Indonesian people must be wise. Use technology wisely, as a tool to expand friendships in cyberspace without forgetting old friends in the

Application of a Healthy Lifestyle in Adolescents

NEWS

Indonesia's health level is the lowest in Asia Pacific?

A healthy lifestyle is a life that is free from health problems spiritually and physically. Healthy living is a way that includes human rules and patterns to lead a balanced and balanced life. A healthy lifestyle is very important to apply in our lives. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, we can make the body healthier. In addition, we can prevent and reduce various risks of chronic diseases that may occur in the future. Examples include hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic diseases

This healthy lifestyle requires a longterm commitment to maintain or do a number of things to be able to support bodily functions so that they have a good impact on health. To make this happen, there are several efforts that can be made such as eating healthy food and exercising regularly. Sports activities that can be done depend on the needs of our muscle mass, for example calisthenics. Calisthenics is a form of exercise by maximizing the use of our own body weight in the process of training muscles. The benefits of calisthenics are to increase body strength, help the body move better and maintain posture. Some calisthenics exercises are squats, push ups, plank, crunches, skipping.

People in Indonesia are still far from a healthy lifestyle. Indonesian people's awareness to live a healthy life is said to be low. based on Riskesdas data, the percentage of people who are less physically active has increased, from 26.1% in 2013 to 33.5% in 2018. In addition, the percentage of people aged over 5 years who eat less fruits and vegetables has also increased, from which was 93.5% in 2013 to 95.5% in 2018. From a number of unhealthy living habits, the percentage of obese people over 18 years of age has also increased, from 14.8% in 2013 to 21.8% in 2018.

To have a regular lifestyle, I apply a healthy lifestyle in my daily life. When I adopt a healthy lifestyle, I feel a positive impact on my life. By starting from small things like going to bed early, exercising regularly, and eating healthy food, small things like that really have an impact on my life. Going to bed early helps me concentrate more during class. Regular exercise keeps me energized, and eating healthy food keeps me energized and not lazy.

My goal is to adopt a healthy lifestyle, namely to maintain a balance in my weight and have a regular lifestyle. In the process of leading a healthy lifestyle, I am on a diet program. This diet program lasts for 2 weeks. In carrying out this healthy lifestyle, I exercise 3-4 times a week. Usually, before implementing this diet program, I only exercised once during a physical education lesson at school.

The sports I do are mostly calisthenics.

Some of the calisthenics that I do are squats, planks and skipping. Apart from that, I do other sports such as sit ups.

My goal in choosing that sport is because of the benefits of each sport.

Squats have the benefit of toning muscles, burning calories and helping to lose weight. Therefore this activity is an effective way to lose fat. Plank is an exercise that builds the abdominal muscles. But it turns out that planks just don't build the abdominal muscles, to do planks our arms, legs, and all parts of our stomach are involved, so this plank is the right exercise to train many muscles of the body. Skipping is a sport that is believed to increase body height, besides that skipping can lose weight.

This skipping sport can also train body balance. This is because, to do skipping requires coordination between the arms, legs, and also the chest or breathing. Sit ups are a sport whose movements focus on emphasizing the area of ​the abdomen, hips and surroundings so that the benefits of this exercise are to train the abdominal muscles and form the abdominal muscles. I chose this sport because in this diet program I aim to increase my height and build abdominal muscles.

To implement a healthy lifestyle, the simplest way that can be done is to eat healthy and nutritious food, exercise regularly, and get enough rest.

Examples include consuming highprotein foods, walking for 20-30 minutes, or sleeping for 7-8 hours every night. A healthy lifestyle itself has many benefits for our lives, the following are the benefits: • Healthier and fitter body: This is because the nutrients that enter the body are fulfilled, as a result the metabolism in the body increases and the immune system will be formed stronger.

• Increase energy in the body: when we routinely carry out a healthy lifestyle, nutritional needs will be fulfilled. The body has sufficient energy reserves and helps the body to be able to carry out activities. he

• Controlling weight: by adopting a healthy lifestyle, weight will be maintained without the need to go on a diet.

• Reducing the risk of disease: adopting a healthy lifestyle certainly makes us avoid disease, for example heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

• Be happier: adopting a healthy lifestyle can elevate mood

TThe impact of my own healthy lifestyle that I live is my stomach, that is, I feel more energy when doing activities, more enthusiasm and concentration when studying, and my stomach becomes flatter even though I eat a lot. Now to get a healthy and balanced lifestyle there are several steps we can take. Here's what you can do: • Find out the current state of health • Engage in physical activity • Record the food consumed • Consumption of healthy food • Enough rest

Unhealthy and unbalanced eating patterns are caused by a lack of information to support and help provide awareness, so that adolescents are increasingly unhealthy. As a result of this situation, a forum is needed to provide information and direction for every teenager. An unbalanced healthy lifestyle, for example, is like exercising but not balanced with a healthy diet.

Many teenagers are misinformed so that they lead an unbalanced healthy lifestyle like the example I gave.

Therefore, it is necessary to convey appropriate and interesting information so that adolescents can form a balanced healthy lifestyle.

Market Balance Before Christmas

Before Christmas the staple food goes up or down?

The prices of a number of staple goods have started to rise ahead of Christmas 2022. According to a survey I conducted on November 30, 2020 at the Karombasan market, several staple goods have increased and several other staple goods have decreased. Usually on holidays such as Christmas an item will experience an increase. This is because during the holidays most of the demand for goods increases. When the demand for an item, especially goods needed before Christmas, increases, the demand for an item will also increase. This is in accordance with the law of demand where when demand increases, prices will also increase. In the market survey that I conducted, the price of rica fell on November 28, 2022, and the price of oil rose from IDR 225,000.00 to IDR. 251,000.00. There was also a rice trader who said that the increase in rice prices in the market was uncertain.

Price is the embodiment of the value of an item or service in units of money, and the value assigned to what is exchanged. The price that customers give in return in the form of value or money for a particular offer serves to satisfy their needs and wants. The higher the benefits that a person feels from certain goods or services, the higher the exchange value of these goods or services. Price becomes something that is very important, the price of goods that are too expensive causes demand to fall or the goods become less salable, and vice versa if the selling price of an item is too cheap, the profit the producer gets will decrease. The law of demand itself reads "The lower the price level, the more the quantity of goods available is demanded, and conversely the lower the price level the less the number of requests available", while the law of supply reads "The higher the price level, the more goods will be supplied . The lower the price level, the less quantity of goods will be supplied.

Price theory is a theory that explains how the price of goods in the market is formed. Basically the price of an item is determined by the amount of demand and supply for the item, while the demand and supply for an item is determined by many factors. The following is the equilibrium price curve:

Line D is a demand line that describes the number of requests for an item at various price levels. While the S line is a supply that describes the amount of supply of an item at various price levels.

Point E is the meeting point between demand and supply, at this point the equilibrium market price is formed. in.

The market is said to be balanced when there is a balance between the amount of product or service demanded and offered at a certain price. The process of equilibrium in the market can start from any side, both from demand and supply. High demand for an item of need will cause the supply of goods to decrease and can even be a step. When the amount of supply / supply of goods decreases, this causes the price of goods to increase.

Conversely, if there is an excess supply of goods, prices will fall.

This situation encourages increased consumer demand. So, market equilibrium occurs when the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
