Facts or fiction??

2009-03-30T09:16:00.000-07:00

[1] Chocolate as an aphrodisiac?
Well, let's put it this way; people have believed that since the 18th century. Eating chocolate certainly is a pleasant experience. And some people say if you believe it's true it's true. We can only say: You have to decide that one on your own.

[2] Eat chocolate and live longer!!
A 1999 article said researchers reported that people who eat chocolate three times a month could add a year to their lives. They say antioxidants deserve the credit: 3 oz. of high quality Swiss chocolate has 410 mg. - more than a serving of broccoli. And an antioxidant-rich diet helps protect you from disease, said researcher Andrew L. Waterhouse, PhD. WOW...............imagine if you ate chocolate three times a day!!

[3] White Chocolate is not chocolate.
Absolutely correct. White chocolate is made from whole milk, sugar and cocoa butter but has no non-fat cocoa solids. White chocolate is even made with vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter.

cont.. A Present

2009-02-15T07:44:00.000-08:00

A memory from someone that is far away... a beautiful clothing you saw on a window shop.. the keys to a new car, a beatiful winter coat.. or just a beatiful flower from somebody that remember you..

This happen every day but we do not realize it.. every day when we wake up, it is there, before us, a present send to us by god.. a whole day to use in the best possible may seem to be able to solve. sometime it comes with sadness, deception even tears..
But other time it come with suprise, happiness, success and achivement

What is important is that every day we receive a present, wrapped especially for us while we sleep.THE NEXT DAY. We are presented this box with colored bows, no matter what the day bring ..

That day when we wake every morning is a PRESENT. The PRESENT that life gives us. It is not always what we we wish wish or what we hope for... But it is the best for us what we need most, what we have to learn.. what we need to grow..

Open your PRESENT every day, giving thanks first to creators that give it to you without thinking what is inside the box.

If today you do not receive the present you wanted, wait for the next one.. appreciate what you receive

Tomorrow.. open your present with love and ethusiasm, because one day your dream and the life plan for you will come inside the box, beautifully wrapped for you...

Life do not care about what we want .. just about what we need .. and that is good

May you have a day of full of blessing in which you can feel the loving presence of your creator and may the present of every day bring you peace, spiritual growth and enligthment on all we still have to learn about everyday and the plan life has for us, every day..

A Present

2009-02-13T05:56:00.000-08:00

Nothing happens by accident….

If one day you wake up, you would find on your bed a beautiful wraped present with delicate bows, you would open it before even washing your face curious about what is inside…

Maybe what you find is something you not like very much… then you would put away the box wondering what to do with the present..

But if the next day, you find another present you would open it also and if this time you find something inside that you like very much….

to be continue...=p

JUICE!

2008-10-15T07:49:00.000-07:00

My favourite drinking is juice. i love to drink apple juice and orange juice. Why i love to drink orange juice?. Well, it is because one orange supplies a healthy dose of vitamin C which plays an important role in cancer prevention, healthy blood circulation and wound healing. Besides, oranges are a good source of the crucial B-vitamin folate, which is essential in preventing birth defects and fighting heart disease. Oranges are loaded with disease "phyt-ing" phytochemicals. These substances, such as flavonoids, which are found in oranges, act as antioxidant and may protect against heart disease. According to a Finnish study, women with the greatest intake of flavonoids had half the risk of dying from heart disease compared to women in the study with the lowest intake. So, now you know why i love to drink orange juice?. Yes it is because it is good for our health.

cassava

2008-10-12T02:06:00.000-07:00

Cassava is a widely grown root crop, first introduced to africa by Portuguese traders from brazil in the sixteenth century. The peeled root is eaten after the boiling or roasting, and some varieties yield a type of flour.Toxic cyanohydrin derivative present in the plant are removed during processing.

When you pick a healthy hot cereal over a pre-packaged cold cereal, you not only warm up your morning, you also gain health benefits that last a lifetime. Oatmeal, recently discovered as the cholesterol buster has its roots in Scotland. This early reference is why we associate the oatmeal grain with hot cereals. Oatmeal is slowly digested and high in complex carbohydrates, which makes it an ideal food choice for diabetics. Even with all this good news, only one in five families eat this heart healthy grain. Those that do, usually go for the pre-sweetened, chemical-containing single serving packs. These may lower your LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, but you'll be consuming too much sugar and less of the good stuff that actually sweeps your arteries clean.

Oats are not the only heart healthy powerhouse. Other whole grains such as brown rice, whole wheat or corn-based hot breakfast cereals can also deliver their health benefits as well. Brown rice based cereals are composed of processed rice, cooked like oatmeal. Choose a whole grain brown rice, and the resulting product is much like cream of wheat, but without the wheat. This is a great option for those who have a wheat allergy. Brown rice has tons of fiber and is also high in several minerals, including magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. Whole grain brown rice cereals are found in your local health food store, or in the health food section of your grocery. Whole wheat cereals also have tons of fiber and are a good choice for those wanting to try something new.

soya

2008-10-11T22:39:00.000-07:00

There is a lot of controversy about soya and it's effect on human's health. Soya is beneficial for those with heat signs - feeling hot, red face, red eyes, high blood pressure, constipation and great thirst. It is also good for signs of dryness. Hence, soya is often recommended for menopausal women. For people with a cold constitution, the cooling properties of tofu may be balanced by combining it with ginger, which is a warming spice. Research has shown that eating soya can lower LDL "bad" cholesterol. People who eat a wide variety of pulses and wholegrains rather than high quantities of meat and saturated fats will tend to have lower cholesterol levels. Many women find that taking soya can help to normalise hormone levels. vegetarians and vegan alike will find soya a good source of protein, although care should be taken not to rely on it too heavily.

The researchers measured blood levels of lycopene and evaluated oxidative damaged to cells before and after each phase. They found that cell damaged dropped by 33% to 42% after consuming yhe tomato diet. the tomato is also an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A.

Detecting Diabetes Earlier

2008-09-24T20:29:00.000-07:00

A blood test may someday pinpoint your risk of type 2 diabetes long before
the disease sets in. People with deeply belly fat surrounding the organs have
higher levels of substance called retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) in their blood
there're more likely to be obese and have diabetes. But even lean folks can be at
risk, says Dr Barbara Kahn, an endocrinologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Centre. Exercise and treatments for insulin resistance can lower RBP4 and may
stave off diabetes, says Dr Kahn.

Introduction of Biotechnology

2008-09-13T06:57:00.000-07:00

Biotechnology is the interdisciplinary frontier between biology, engineering, medicine, and plant science.
Biotechnology is the use of advances in molecular biology for application in human and animal health, agriculture, environment and specially biochemical manufacturing.
Biotechnology is the collection of tools, and is about, problem solving, where experts from different disciplines collaborate to find a solution to an identified problem, such as pest control, nutritional enhancement, an improved drug, a vaccine or any antibody.
Biotechnology is not a single subject, but is really an integrated approach using a conglomerate of several disciplines such as botany, zoology, microbiology, biochemistry and chemistry, molecular biology, genetics, plant breeding, pharmacology, medicine, information and computer science and others.
A career in Biotechnology is not just a job. It is participation in then development of new products and processes that could improve the quality of human life as much as any other discovery.
Biotechnology is the ‘Biological Revolution’

protein intake for chronic kidney disease

2008-09-03T20:05:00.000-07:00

A proper diet is vital for health, more so for those with chronic kidney disease, since the function of the kidneys is to get rid of waste resulting from body processes and the food we eat.

When we eat proteins, the waste products such as ammonia will change to urea in the liver and the blood will take the urea to the kidneys to get rid of it.When the kidney don't work properly, they can't get rid of the waste.

In thailand, doctors monitoring chronic kidney disease patients who were very disciplined and strict about their low protein diets claimed that some were able to delay the progression of the disease by eight to ten years.

While advocating a low protein diet for CKD patients, doctor cautions that they must still get enough protein, which is need to build, maintain and repair tissues and muscles as well as resist infection.Eating too little protein will lead to mainutrition and lower tha body's ability to fight infection.

The dietitian decides the diet for the patients according to his or her food habits. If the kidneys are working properly, the patient need 0.8g to 1.0g of protein per kilogramme of body weight. so a 60kg will need 48g to 60g of protein per day.

If the kidney get worse, the patient has to go on a very low protein diet of 0.3g to 0.4g of protein per kg of body weight.

Patient must choose their source of protein wisely. The best quality protein, called high biological value (HBV) protein, comes from animal product such as beef, pork, lamb,fish, chicken and dairy product. plant protein are lower quality.

Managing the underlying causes of kidney damage also imperative. A diabetic need to control blood sugar while the hypertensive person need to control blood pressure
