Tinggi Badan Anak Pengaruhi Kecerdasan
Maklum saja jika kebanyakan ibu-ibu menginginkan anaknya memiliki postur yang tinggi. Sebab tinggi badan seorang anak akan mempengaruhi kecerdasan. Benarkah?
Sebuah penelitian yang dilakukan peneliti dari Universitas Bristol, Inggris, anak yang tubuhnya lebih tinggi memiliki intelegensi yang lebih tinggi pula.
Penelitian tersebut juga mengungkapkan IQ (Intelegent Quotient) berhubungan dengan hormon pertumbuhan.
Penelitian itu didasarkan pada tes yang dilakukan pada 500 anak. Ratusan anak ini menjalani tes IQ dan diukur level IGF-nya (insulin growth factor) dalam darah.
Kemudian, para peneliti menemukan hubungan antara IQ dan level pertumbuhan hormon. Dan, hasil tes menyebutkan, anak yang pertumbuhan hormonnya tinggi memiliki tingkat intelegensi yang lebih baik dibandingkan anak yang memiliki pertumbuhan hormon yang rendah.
Sirkulasi kadar IGF atau hormon pertumbuhan dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor. Seperti, pola makan, genetik dan faktor psikologis.
Faktor-faktor itu ternyata memiliki peranan penting dalam berkembangnya organ-organ fisik dan pertumbuhan psikologis pada anak-anak.
Ketua Tim Peneliti Profesor David Gunnel mengatakan, kesehatan anak sejak dalam kandungan juga berpengaruh pada tingkat intelegensinya kelak.
Jika saat dalam kandungan anak sudah mengalami gangguan kesehatan kemungkinan besar, nantinya akan ada permasalahan dalam perkembangan saraf dan pertumbuhan fisiknya.
Banyak fakta yang membuktikan bayi yang lahir dengan berat di bawah normal akan mengalami masalah pertumbuhan. Untuk itu, jika saat hamil perhatikanlah asupan gizi dan vitamin baik untuk janin maupun untuk Anda sendiri

Description
Set in a land rooted in ancient Persian mythology, the Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness: the God of Light, Ormazd versus his brother Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. The Prince arrives just in time to witness the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life – an act which threatens to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness. Manifested in the form of the Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the Prince must partner with Elika, a deadly companion, to heal the world from the evil Corruption.

Grip fall down the face of a building, perform perfectly timed acrobatic combinations, swing over canyons, buildings and anything that is reachable. This new rogue warrior must utilize all of his new skills along with a whole new combat system to battle Ahriman’s corrupted lieutenants to heal the land from the dark Corruption and restore the light.
A new epic journey begins: Escape to experience the new fantasy world of ancient Persia. Masterful storytelling and sprawling environments will deliver to action-adventure fans an experience that rivals even the best Hollywood movies.
A new open world structure: A first for the Prince of Persia franchise – now you have the freedom to determine how the game evolves in this non-linear adventure. Players will decide how they unfold the storyline by choosing their path in the open-ended world.
Emergence of a deadly new ally: History’s greatest ally is revealed in the form of Elika, a dynamic AI companion who joins the Prince in his fight to save the world. Gifted with magical powers, she interacts with the player in combat, acrobatics and puzzle-solving enabling the Prince to reach new heights of deadly high-flying artistry through special duo acrobatic moves or devastating fighting combo attacks.

CEO ActiVision Publishing pun mengklaim, kesuksesan Guitar Hero berpengaruh positif terhadap industri lainnya, misalnya turut memicu larisnya perangkat musik.
Masih menurut CEO Activision Publishing, popularitas video game
akan melampaui semua bentuk hiburan di waktu mendatang. Ia beralasan, berbagai
jenis hiburan lain seperti film, musik atau TV telah mengalami stagnasi.
