Pelbagai Kegunaan Cuka

Cuka sering digunakan sebagai pembersih atau pencuci yang berkesan untuk menghapuskan bakteria berikutan paras asid yang terkandung di dalamnya. Membersih menggunakan cuka adalah kaedah bijak untuk mengelak penggunaan bahan kimia selain ia mesra alam dan menjimatkan.

* Buat sendiri bahan pencuci dengan mencampurkan 1/4 cawan soda bikarbonat, 1 sudu cecair pencuci dan cuka. Bersihkan permukaan dapur menggunakan bahan tersebut.


* Bersih dan harumkan tong sampah dengan campuran 1/2 cawan soda bikarbonat dan cuka. Biarkan selama 5 minit dan curahkan airpanas.

* Bersihkan ketuhar gelombang dengan campuran 1/2 cawan cuka dan 1/2 cawan air. Didihkan campuran tersebut dalam ketuhar gelombang, memudahkan kekotoran yang melekat tanggal dan menghilangkan bau.
* Untuk perkakasan kaca yang kusam, rendam tisu dapur atau kain pengelap di dalam cuka, kemudian balut kertas atau kain tersebut pada perkakasan. Biarkan seketika sebelum dibilas sehingga bersih.


* Hilangkan kesan kekotoran pada teko dengan campuran 1/2 cawan cuka dan air, biarkan semalaman. Untuk mendapatkan kesan lebih drastik didihkan cuka dengan air di dalam teko tersebut beberapa minit. Biarkan sejuk dan bilas.
* Hilangkan kesan kopi pada cawan. Caranya gosok garam atau soda bikarbonat bersama cuka pada cawan tersebut dan bilas bersih.

* Hilangkan kesan hitam pada teko aluminium dengan didihkan campuran 1 cawan cuka dan 1 cawan air panas.
* Gunakan semburan cuka untuk elak semut di kawasan luar rumah terutama berhampiran jajaran pintu dan tingkap.


* Hilangkan bau akibat makanan lama dalam peti sejuk. Mula-mula bersihkan bahagian yang berkenaan dengan sabun dan air. Sembur di bahagian permulaan dengan cuka dan lap dengan kain. Isi soda bikarbonat dalam bekas dan letak di dalam peti sejuk. Biarkan beberapa hari.

* Untuk memudahkan kerja-kerja membersihkan perkakasan membakar, semburkan campuran cuka dan air di atas permukaan.

* Harumkan tandas anda dengan memasukkan 3 cawan cuka ke dalam mangkuk tandas kira-kira setengah jam, kemudian pam tandas.

Diabetes Among Children on the Rise

Bad Dietary

The doctors found that the young diabetics were usually obese, and their condition could be traced to eating too much unhealthy food and having a sedentary lifestyle.

They said the disease was not just about having excessive sugar in the blood system but could also affect the patient's vital organs like the heart, kidneys, nerves and eyes.

"The children's bad dietary habits of eating burgers, nuggets, fried chicken, fries and carbonated drinks are also contributing factors," Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre senior consultant paediatrician and paediatric endocrinologist Prof Dr Wu Loo Ling said, adding that long hours of homework, watching television and playing computer games added to the problem.


Faster Rate

"Cases of children and teenagers with diabetes are increasing at a faster rate," said Dr Wu. "Between 30% and 40% of children in Western countries are overweight and the problem of overweight Malaysian children is also on the rise."

Endocrinologist Dr Lim Soo San said T2D was more apparent in people aged between 18 and 29. "We even came across childrenwho are below 10 years old and have T2D," Dr Lim said.

The Registry on Diabetes in Children and Adolescents (2006-2007) showed that 56% of the 42 T2D cases involved obese individuals.

Junk Food

Dr Lim said parents continued to feed their children with 'junk food' due to their lack of awareness of the disease.

Dietician Mary Easaw-John said apart from bad eating habits, irregular eating hours had also contributed to the rising trend of T2D among younger people.
"People tend to eat out instead of packing food from home nowadays. And fried food is common in eateries," said Easaw, who is Dietetics Food Services of the National Heart Institute senior manager.

Obese

The Third National Health and Morbidity Survey, conducted in 2006, showed that there was a high prevalence of overweight primary school children, and over 20% of them were obese.

Statistics pointed that Malaysia had the 4th highest number of diabetes cases in Asia, with 800,000 in 2007. The number is expected to jump to 1.3 million cases this year.

The recent survey also revealed that more than 43% of Malaysian adults were overweight or obese, twice the figure a decade ago.

lemak perut ^^

kali ini info dari Dr. Nor Ashikin Mokhtar.................semoga pandai2 jaga perut^^

As if worrying about your hips and thighs your entire adult life wasn't bad enough, you've recently noticed that your belly is getting bigger as well. As a result, it's getting harder to button your jeans and an unsightly bulge appears above the top of your pants – sometimes unkindly referred to as the 'muffin top'.

You always thought that the dreaded 'beer belly' or 'spare tyre' only developed in men, so why is this happening to you now?


While it is true that men are more prone to developing an apple-shaped body – where the abdomen grows larger – women will also start to develop it after menopause. Looks aside, this accumulation of belly fat is bad for your health. So it's time to fight the battle of the bulge with a strict diet and exercise routine.

It will be tempting to just rush out and buy bigger clothes, but it will not solve your problem.
Age, Hormones, and Genes

Belly fat increases as you get older, especially after menopause. This is because your body's metabolism will slow down with age, causing the amount of fat in your body to increase.

Unfortunately, women tend to gain more fat with age compared to men. Part of this may have to do with hormones. Menopause brings on hormonal changes that affect the way your body breaks down fat and where the fat is stored.

Menopause causes the distribution of body fat to change, so that is why you find less fat on your arms, legs, and hips, and more on your abdomen.

Don't blame it all on hormones though as genes may have something to do with it as well. Some women inherit a tendency to gain weight in their midsection because their mothers were like that, and their mother's mother before them.

Don't forget that as you get older, you are also physically slowing down. You become more sedentary and move a lot less. When you use less energy, your body stores it as fat.


It's The Fat Inside That Counts

Even if your weight doesn't seem to be increasing, it doesn't mean you can rest easy. Abdominal fat can increase without overall weight gain because the fat in other areas of your body is decreasing.

The mirror alone isn't a good gauge of belly fat either. The really 'bad' fat is not the 'love handles' that you can grab with your hands – it's the fat that you can't see that you should be worried about. This is known as the visceral fat, which is deeper within the abdomen and surrounds the abdominal organs. This type of fat is linked to higher risk of heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes,metabolic syndrome, gallbladder problems, high blood pressure, and colorectal cancer.

Scientists have discovered why this type of fat is so dangerous – it is because the abdominal fat cells are not just lying dormant, waiting to be used as energy. These cells are active and produce substances that can affect your health.

For instance, it has been found that some of these fat cells produce hormones that promote insulin resistance, increasing the risk of diabetes; other fat cells produce the oestrogen hormone after menopause, increasing the risk of breast cancer.


Measuring Your Midriff

As mentioned earlier, you may gain abdominal fat without gaining weight. So measurements of your weight or even your body mass index (BMI) are not accurate ways of monitoring your belly fat.

The simplest method to gauge your internal fat deposits is actually to just measure your waist. Waist measurement must be done correctly with a measuring tape – you cannot just use your pants measurement to assume that it reflects your girth.

Place the measuring tape directly on your skin (if you are wearing clothes, make sure it is a light layer of clothing). The measurement should be taken halfway between your lowest rib and the top of your hip bone, at about the level of your belly button. Breathe normally and do not suck in your stomach. Make sure the tape is firm, but do not pull it so tight that it squeezes your skin.


A reading of more than 80cm (for women) and more than 94cm (for men) means that there is an unhealthy build-up of abdominal fat in the body, which increases the risk of chronic diseases.
Belly Fat, Off!

So, what can you do to get rid of this awful belly fat? Fortunately, this type of fat can be burned off with a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet.

Cardio workouts are some of the best ways to lose the tummy, as they help you to burn fat calories.

Strength training is also very important, but sometimes overlooked by people who want to lose weight. Strength training with weights is effective in helping you lose belly fat because it helps you to build  muscles, which burns more calories.


One of the best exercises is swimming, which burns calories as well as builds and tones muscles.(seb bek dah phd dah swim^^)  Walking or jogging (outdoors or on a treadmill) also works. Remember, strolling is not exercising – you have to work up a sweat by increasing your speed or incline.

In your daily workout, start with stretching and weight training first, and save the cardio workouts for the last, to avoid injuries.

Diet Tips to Burn Belly Fat

There is no secret diet that can help you magically make that belly bulge vanish. The same wisdom for healthy living applies here – a balanced diet, with a variety of foods, is the key to maintaining a healthy waistline.

Here are some tips to help you practise healthy eating and really see the results.

Watch what you eat, literally. There are lots of hidden calories in our meals, which we do not notice, especially when we are eating out. You may have ordered a salad, but the rich, creamy dressing piles on more calories than expected. Ask for a salad with dressing on the side, or with a balsamic vinegar dressing that has fewer calories.


Read nutrition labels on the food items that you buy. Compare the amount of calories, sugars and fats on different products. Choose products that use polyunsaturated fats, instead of saturated fats. Once you start becoming aware of these labels, you will be able to make wiser choices.
Do not skip meals. Eat at fixed times and do not snack between meals. If you find yourself getting too hungry between meals, eat smaller and more frequent meals. But make sure that the amounts of food during each meal are less, or else you will be packing it on!  tapi kalau nak makan snack juga antara meal ..............makanlah pisang mang elok utk badan....x caya tgk post kami yag terdahulu...........taip pisang kat pandora box tu^^ k

Drinking tea and coffee may seem harmless, but not when each cup is accompanied by sugar and cream/milk. Cream and two cubes of sugar with your coffee or tea is almost equivalent to a slice of chocolate cake! If you need to have that hot drink, cut down on your sugar and cream.

Eat more complex carbohydrates (like wholegrains, beans, lentils, brown rice and root vegetables), as they are broken down into glucose more slowly than simple carbohydrates and thus provide a gradual steady stream of energy throughout the day.

Fad diets are tempting, especially if you're trying to lose a lot of weight rapidly. But these diets are called 'fads' for a reason – they are only popular for a while because they don't work over the long-term!

Ultimately, it is willpower and discipline that will get you through a healthy diet and a strict exercise routine. At the other end, a slimmer you awaits!

Tip tidur lena

KEBIASAANNYA apabila tidak boleh tidur, pelbagai petua diberi. Disuruh mengira angka atau membilang biri-biri sehingga terlena. Tetapi apa pula caranya jika masalah sukar tidur disebabkan cuaca panas.


Dr. Ian Smith daripada Papworth Hospital di Cambridge menurunkan panduan untuk mendapatkan tidur yang nyenyak dalam keadaan cuaca panas

Pertama, fahami punca kita tidak dapat tidur ketika cuaca panas. Mekanisme semulajadi untuk mendapatkan tidur yang puas melibatkan penurunan suhu badan. Cuaca malam yang panas menyebabkan proses penurunan suhu badan menjadi perlahan.



Beliau mencadangkan supaya langsir bilik dibiarkan menutupi pintu dan tingkap pada waktu siang dan malam. Cara itu akan mengurangkan kepanasan di dalam bilik. Pasang kipas dan biarkan tingkap terdedah untuk melancarkan peredaran udara di dalam bilik. Jika tidak, kepanasan motor kipas akan menambah suhu panas pada bilik sehingga mengganggu tidur.



Selain itu, pastikan anda keluar menikmati cahaya matahari di awal pagi. Ini membantu menyelaraskan sistem badan seterusnya membolehkan anda tidur nyenyak pada waktu malam. Jam biologi akan terganggu jika aktiviti harian tidak dijalankan mengikut waktu yang sepatutnya sehingga boleh mengganggu tidur anda.



Jauhi daripada cahaya terang terutamanya pada waktu malam. Ini kerana cahaya terang boleh mengganggu pengeluaran hormon melatonin. Pastikan bilik tidur dimasuki cahaya yang amat minimum terutamanya di bilik anak-anak anda. Kebanyakan kanak-kanak tidur di bawah cahaya lampu dan keadaan itu menyebabkan mereka sukar tidur kerana lampu menambah suhu bilik menjadi semakin panas.



Oleh itu pastikan bilik sejuk dan elak dimasuki terlalu banyak cahaya.



Seperkara lagi yang perlu diingat, elak berpeluh sebelum tidur. Jika cuaca panas, jangan bersenam selepas pukul 6 petang kerana ia boleh menaikkan suhu badan. Pergi ke pusat kecergasan awal pagi.



Paling mudah untuk menurunkan suhu badan ketika cuaca panas adalah dengan mandi air sejuk sebelum tidur.



Dr. Smith turut menasihatkan supaya mengelak daripada melayari facebook sebelum tidur, Cahaya biru daripada skrin komputer atau telefon bimbit boleh menurunkan paras melatonin menyebabkan anda semakin sukar untuk tidur.



Nasihat beliau lagi, kurangkan pengambilan kafein malah elak sama sekali selepas waktu tengahari.



Ingat kafein bukan saja terdapat di dalam kopi atau teh, malah coklat serta minuman ringan turut mengandungi bahan tersebut.

ehem err ..assalamualaikum!!!! ^^

Sunnah Rasulullah s.a.w.

Antaranya tentang bab memberi salam.

Baginda memberi salam dgn lafaz "assalamualaikum"

dan menjawab salam dari para sahabat dgn salam yg penuh

"waalaikumussalam warahmatulallahhi wabarakatuh"
Beri salam - assalamualaikum

Jawab salam - "waalaikumussalam warahmatulallah hi wabarakatuh"



Apabila kira berkirim salam pada org lain, hendaklah kita berkata "Kirim


salam assalamualaikum pada ZIZAH ye" contoh lerr...

Bukannya : "Kirim salam kat ZIZAH ye"



Dan bukannya " Kirim salam maut" statement ini adalah berdosa,

walaupun sekadar gurauan!



Semoga ada manfaat.



"Akum = Avde Kokhavim U Mazzalot"

Maksud singkatan " A'kum"



Untuk renungan bersama :



Janganlah kita menggantikan perkataan

"Assalamualaikum" dengan "A'kum" dalam sms atau apa sekalipu melalui tulisan.

Jika perkataan Assalamualaikum itu panjang, maka hendaklah kita ganti

dengan perkataan "As Salam" iaitu sama makna dengan Assalamualaikum.

Sesama lah kita memberitahu member-member yang selalu sangat guna

shortform A'kum dalam sms ataupun email. Perkataan 'AKUM' adalah gelaran

untuk orang-orang Yahudi untuk orang-orang bukan yahudi yang bermaksud 'BINATANG' dalam Bahasa Ibrani.





Ia singkatan daripada perkataan 'Avde Kokhavim U Mazzalot' yang

bermaksud 'HAMBA-HAMBA BINATANG DAN ORANG-ORANG SESAT'.

Mulai sekarang jika ada orang hantar shortform "A'kum", kita ingatkan

dia guna "As Salam" kerana salam ialah dari perkataan Assalamualaikum.

Semoga ada manfaatnya.

Sperma Tidak Normal ^^

ini utk makluman semua org k ..................no prejudice apa2 k.....just read n u will have the info that might be VERY USEFUL the day forwards^^

maaf ini hanya INFO kesihatan...............so bagi pelajar medic depa semua dah alah dah menda2 camni....
to pelajar2 engineering n selain mediks sila kawal emosi and peasaan anda semasa membaca
info ini^^....................

oleh Suzan Ahmad



Kebanyakan lelaki yang sihat secara automatik akan menganggap sistem reproduktif mereka tidak bermasalah. Soalnya, sejauh mana kesedaran mengenai kesuburan itu khususnya berkaitan kesihatan benih atau sperma kerana gejala kemandulan lelaki sukar dikesan.





Di Malaysia, kes kemandulan lelaki atau sperma tidak normal, amat jarang dilaporkan kerana tidak banyak data atau kajian mengenai ketidaksuburan lelaki direkodkan. Namun apa yang memeranjatkan, kebanyakan kes atau kebanyakan kes yang dirujuk di pusat perubatan kesuburan membabitkan ketidaksuburan lelaki.



Wanita Dipersalahkan



Malah dalam kebanyakan kes, setiap kali keguguran berlaku wanita biasa dipersalahkan. Jika telur normal tetapi sperma pula tidak, 'kecacatan' sperma inilah yang boleh mengakibatkan keguguran. Kebanyakan lelaki di Malaysia sedar mengenai masalah ketidaksuburan, tetapi tidak mahu memandang serius mengenainya.



Akibatnya, si isteri yang datang bertemu doktor terlebih dulu untuk membuat pemeriksaan sebelum menerima berita yang lebih mengejutkan yang kadangkala tidak dapat diterima suami.

Ujian Sperma



Sperma yang normal bukan saja tinggi dari segi bilangan tetapi juga memiliki bentuk yang sempurna dan pergerakan yang aktif. Pakar akan mencari sperma yang mempunyai kepala bujur dan ekor yang panjang. Ini adalah bentuk sperma yang boleh dianggap normal.



Antara persoalan yang diambil kira ujian sperma adalah seperti selepas satu jam, berapa peratusan sperma yang bergerak? Selepas 3 jam apa berlaku dan adakah sampel itu dijangkiti virus?



Bilangan Sperma



Bilangan sperma yang normal biasanya mencecah sehingga 40 juta dan ada juga 20 juta bergantung kepada pusat perubatan kesuburan.



Apapun, bagi membolehkan wanita hamil, kita hanya perlukan satu sperma yang sihat saja. Kita perlu lihat pada peratusan sperma yang normal, jika seorang itu mempunyai bilangan sperma rendah tetapi 80 hingga 90% adalah aktif, itu lebih baik daripada seseorang yang punyai bilangan sperma yang tinggi tetapi lebih 50% daripadanya tidak normal.

Pergerakan Sperma



Langkah seterusnya ialah melihat pergerakan sperma. Ada sperma yang mempunyai pergerakan normal iaitu lebih 60% yang bergerak dan ada juga yang tidak bergerak langsung dipanggil sperma mati.



Bentuk Sperma



Sperma yang normal bentuknya perlu ada kepala, badan tengah dan ekor. Tetapi jika tidak normal, sperma ini akan datang dalam pelbagai bentuk seperti kepala besar, kepala kecil, ekor bercabang dua, ekor pendek, ekor terbelit, ekor bergulung dan pelbagai bentuk lagi. Sperma begini akan sukar untuk sampai kepada telur bagi proses persenyawaan.

Faktor Tidak Normal



Penyebab utama dan paling biasa menyumbang kepada sperma yang tidak normal adalah tekanan. Ia agak subjektif untuk dibincangkan namun ada yang mengatakan bila kita dilanda tekanan bilangan sperma akan berkurangan.



Seseorang itu dikatakan mempunyai bilangan sperma yang rendah apabila setiap 1 mililiter pancutan sperma hanya menghasilkan kurang daripada 20 juta spermatozoa. Kajian mendapati lelaki yang dilahirkan sekitar 1960-an mempunyai jumlah sperma yang lebih tinggi berbanding lelaki yang dilahirkan pada 1970-an.



Banyak faktor penyebab morfologi sperma tidak normal seperti jangkitan, terdedah kepada toksin, radiasi, merokok, urat darah varicocele dalam skrotum, demam dan panas melampau, gaya hidup, dadah dan alkohol, obesiti dan testis yang tidak normal.

Rawatan



Langkah pertama untuk mengetahui sekiranya anda mempunyai isu berkaitan morfologi sperma ialah lakukan analisis sperma. Sekiranya anda ada masalah morfologi sperma tidak normal, pakar akan menyarankan supaya anda melakukan analisis itu pada bulan berikutnya bagi memastikan sebarang perubahan dan menentukan sama ada sperma tidak normal itu bersifat sementara atau kekal.



Beliau bagaimanapun mengingatkan, seseorang itu tidak perlu bimbang jika analisis menunjukkan kewujudan morfologi sperma yang tidak normal, sebaliknya membiarkan pakar melakukan ujian sepenuhnya.



Antara rawatan bagi masalah ini termasuk intra uterine insemination (IUI) atau in-vitro insemination (IVF) atau permanian beradas atau Suntikan Sperma Intra Cytoplasmic (ICSI).



Cara Meningkatkan Sperma



* Amalkan gaya hidup dan diet seimbang (sayur-sayuran dan gandum).


* Bersenam.


* Kurangkan tekanan.


* Jaga berat badan.


* Berhenti merokok.


* Kurangkan atau menghentikan pengambilan alkohol.


* Jauhi najis dadah.


* Jarakkan kekerapan ejakulasi (selang tiga hari).


* Elak memakai seluar dalam yang ketat, sauna, mandi tab panas dan apa saja yang boleh meningkatkan suhu buah zakar.

Bananas^^ sya suka pisang^^

Now it is proven scientifically.

Lets eat banana and make the monkeys hungry. Ha ha ha.

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his 

class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' 

is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!! 

This is interesting. 

After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same 

way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and 

glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, 

sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough 

energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the 

banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. 

It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of

 illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:According to a recent survey undertaken by

 MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt 

much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas 

contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into 

serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and

 generally make you feel happier. 

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it

 contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect 

your mood. 

Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the

 production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in 

cases of anemia. 

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is 

extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making

 it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the

 US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the

 banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's

 ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) 

school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year

 by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to

 boost their brain power. Research has shown that the 

potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making

 pupils more alert. 

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas 

in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping 

to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. 

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of 

curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake,

 sweetened with honey.. The banana calms the

 stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up 

depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes

 and re-hydrates your system. 

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect

 in

 the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating

 a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:Snacking on bananas between 

meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning

 sickness. 

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream,

 try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. 

Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. 

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm 

the nervous system. 

Overweightand at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology

 in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food

 like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients,

 researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in

 high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced

 food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels

 by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep 

levels steady. 

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against 

intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness.. 

It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in

 over-chronicler cases.. It also neutralizes over-acidity and 

reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. 

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as 

a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional 

temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, 

pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is 

born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can 

help 

SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood 

enhancer tryptophan. 

Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also 

help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain,

 as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help

 the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. 

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize 

the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your

 body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic

 rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can

 be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. 

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal 

of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the

 risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%! 

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you 

want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it 

on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin i

n place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills.

 When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the p

rotein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, 

five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other

 vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is

 one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to

 change that well-known phrase so that we say, '

A banana a day keeps 

the doctor away!' 

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS 

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all 

the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our

 shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub

 directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!
