Exposure to radiation from cell phones during pregnancy affects the brain development of offspring, potentially leading to hyperactivity, Yale School of Medicine researchers have determined.

The results, based on studies in mice, are published in Scientific Reports, a Nature publication.

"This is the first experimental evidence that fetal exposure to radiofrequency radiation from cellular telephones does in fact affect adult behavior," said senior author Hugh S. Taylor, M.D., professor and chief of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences.

Taylor and co-authors exposed pregnant mice to radiation from a muted and silenced cell phone positioned above the cage and placed on an active phone call for the duration of the trial. A control group of mice was kept under the same conditions but with the phone deactivated.

The team measured the brain electrical activity of adult mice that were exposed to radiation as fetuses, and conducted a battery of psychological and behavioral tests. They found that the mice that were exposed to radiation tended to be more hyperactive and had reduced memory capacity. Taylor attributed the behavioral changes to an effect during pregnancy on the development of neurons in the prefrontal cortex region of the brain.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a developmental disorder associated with neuropathology localized primarily to the same brain region, and is characterized by inattention and hyperactivity.

"We have shown that behavioral problems in mice that resemble ADHD are caused by cell phone exposure in the womb," said Taylor. "The rise in behavioral disorders in human children may be in part due to fetal cellular telephone irradiation exposure."

Taylor said that further research is needed in humans to better understand the mechanisms behind these findings and to establish safe exposure limits during pregnancy. Nevertheless, he said, limiting exposure of the fetus seems warranted.

First author Tamir Aldad added that rodent pregnancies last only 19 days and offspring are born with a less-developed brain than human babies, so further research is needed to determine if the potential risks of exposure to radiation during human pregnancy are similar.

"Cell phones were used in this study to mimic potential human exposure but future research will instead use standard electromagnetic field generators to more precisely define the level of exposure," said Aldad.

Cerebral palsy is the medical term used to describe several non-progressive disorders that involve posture, motor impairment and sometimes mental retardation. It is caused by a brain injury that occurs prior to birth or within the first 2 years of life. Cerebral palsy can affect different areas of the brain, partially explaining the variety in symptoms seen between patients. Treatment includes therapy to improve strength and function, nutritional support and medications to treat underlying muscle tone, seizures and pain. Herbal supplements can also help to alleviate symptoms and support the needs of the individual.
Zinc Sulfate

In a study performed in Russia in 1991, researchers found that the administration of zinc sulfate helped to improve the metabolism, health status and immune system of children. Researchers noted that of the 96 children in the study, the majority showed deficiencies in zinc metabolism. Twenty children received zinc and 38 children in the control group received other complex rehabilitation that did not involve the administration of zinc. The group that received the zinc sulfate showed the improvements in metabolism and health status.

Improve Muscle Tone

Children and adults with cerebral palsy can benefit from supplements that improve muscle tone, such as vitamin C, bioflavonoids, thiamine, magnesium and pyridoxine, according to the Cerebral Palsy Injury website. In some cases, individuals may be able to find a multivitamin that serves the purpose. Each of these supplements helps skeletal muscle function to improve strength and flexibility, thus improving function.
Seizures

Seizure activity can be a co-morbid condition in individuals who suffer from cerebral palsy. Several herbal supplements have anecdotal evidence of helping individuals with seizure disorders and others should be strictly avoided, according to Dr. Ray Sahelian who holds degrees as both a physician and nutritionist. Herbs that have an adverse effect on seizures include ginkgo, caffeine, guarana, tyrosine, ephedra and sexual herbs such as horny goat weed. Herbs that have some evidence of positive effect on individuals who suffer from seizure activity include melatonin, bacopa and carnosine.
Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that prevent damage to the body done by free radicals. These free radicals are the metabolic by-product of an oxidation process the body uses to produce energy. When left unchecked, free radicals cause cellular damage leading to disease and illness. Individuals with cerebral palsy benefit from the addition of antioxidants to the diet in order to reduce the amount of further damage to the neurological system and support health. Common antioxidants include beta-carotene, lycopene, and vitamins A, C and E, according to MayoClinic.com. The addition of these antioxidants to the diet helps support the immune system, improves health and allows optimal functioning.

A is for Autism and Vitamin A

A is for Autism and Vitamin A
http://www.cheeseslave.com/a-is-for-autism-and-vitamin-a/
And Aspberger’s, ADD, and ADHD! :-)

On my morning walk with Kate, I listened to the most fascinating and moving lecture by Dr. Mary Megson, MD. She is a pediatrician who has been working with autistic children and seeing absolutely miraculous results with nutrition.

I was literally moved to tears listening to this woman speak. And totally dumbfounded. The connections she is making, the healing that is happening. It’s nothing short of incredible. In fact, I was so entranced by this lecture that I walked for over an hour! Poor Kate was home late for her morning nap.

She was talking about how vitamin A deficiency plays a role in causing autism. She explains physiologically why the lack of vitamin A and other nutrients causes problems with vision and language. She explains how autistic children see the world, and why they behave the way they do (the stimming, the flapping, the lack of eye contact). She explains what the physiological reasons are for those behaviors. She explains how nutritional deficiencies cause these behaviors — every single one.

There’s lots of scientific talk in it (some of it went over my head) but hang in there because the stories she tells are incredible.

She told one story about an 18-year-old girl who went to get her vaccinations for college. After the vaccinations, suddenly any bright light was very painful to her. Her father had to carry her out of the office. She had to stay in bed in a dark room for 6 months. Her father did tons of research and read about the vitamin A connection. He started giving her cod liver oil and within 3 days, she could tolerate light again. (She’s now doing fine — totally returned to normal.)

She told another story of a man she met who was in his late sixties. He said for the first 30-some-odd years of his life, he was autistic — and for the next thirty or so years he was just dyslexic. She said, “What did you do?” He said, “I ate a lot of fish.”

Fish! Vitamin A!

These stories are especially encouraging to me because these people were not children when they recovered — they were adults.

I can’t do her stories justice. You have to listen.

And yes, it fits with what Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride and Donna Gates are saying about how problems with abnormal gut flora fits with autism — because an inability to absorb nutrients causes deficiency! They both say you have to supplement with cod liver oil, too. And Dr. Megson also says you have to heal the gut with probiotics.

Here is a taste of Dr. Megson — this is an excerpt from her website. (You can download the PDFs here)

Our early experience with treatment with natural cis forms of Vitamin A in Cod Liver Oil (CLO) in these autistic children, followed by stimulation of blocked acetylcholine receptors for neurotransmitters affected with a blockage of G-alpha pathways in the cell, is promising. There are dramatic, immediate improvements in language, vision, attention and social interaction in some of these children, as evidenced by the following case reports.

My earliest evidence came from a ten-year-old boy diagnosed with autism by DSM-IV criteria (20). The patient’s parents suspect he has been reading since age four but his inability to communicate made this unverifiable. Over an eight-year period of regular visits I had never heard him speak. Standardized IQ tests revealed moderate mental retardation. His mother developed night blindness and hypothyroidism in college and had responded well to Vitamin A and thyroid hormone replacement. The patient’s mother’s sister was diagnosed in infancy with gluten enteropathy that had improved on a gluten free diet. She has had lifelong dry eyes and is night blind (treated with amber glasses.)

For these and other reasons I started the boy on cod liver oil (5,000 IU of Vitamin A, given in 2500 IU/b.i.d.) and a gluten free diet. After one week, he began to sit farther from the television and to notice paintings on the walls at home. He had always gone out of his way to follow the sidewalk and driveway to meet the school bus. On Vitamin A, he began to run across the grass directly from the front door to the school bus. After three weeks, he was given a single dose of Urocholine, an alpha muscarinic receptor agonist, to increase bile and pancreatic secretions and indirectly stimulate hippocampal retinoid receptors. It has minimal cardiac effect, is FDA approved, has been used safely in children since the 1970’s for reflux, and does not cross the blood-brain barrier, unlike secretin (21). It stimulates post- synaptic cell membranes via receptors for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the parasympathetic system.

Thirty minutes after administration of the Urocholine, the patient, who was sitting in a chair, swung his feet over the side, pointed to a glass candy jar on my shelf and said, “May I have the red Jolly Rancher® please?” He had read the label on the candy in the clear jar. These were the first words he had spoken in eight years, and the first proof that he could read. We took him outside and he said, “The leaves, the leaves on the trees are green! I see! I see!” When I asked to take his picture he looked at the camera, smiled and waved. When he left the office I said, “See you later.” He asked, “What time?”

In this child’s case, after several weeks of treatment with Vitamin A in CLO 3500 IU/day, the Urocholine acted like a switch. When absorbed, he immediately became socially engaged, made excellent eye contact, hugged his mother tightly and said, “I love you so much,” looking at her face.

At that point we both realized that this child had a blocked pathway. The change in language and social interaction was dramatic and immediate. Yet he reverted to the pre-treatment state of silence when the dose wore off. On lower daily doses of Urocholine (12.5 mg bid) along with the Vitamin A, his language and social interactions have continued to progress, albeit slowly. Source

If you have autism (Anna, I thought of you!), have an autistic child or relative, or know someone who is autistic or has an autistic child, you must download this lecture. It’s $13 to download the mp3 on the Weston A. Price Foundation website. (They have it labeled as Dr. Campbell McBride but that is incorrect. It is Dr. Megson.)

This lecture is truly mind blowing. It made me want to go back to school and become a pediatrician.

PS: April (another A!) is Autism Awareness Month. Please spread the word on your blog if you feel so inclined.

Nutrisi Tinggi Dari Kacang Merah

Nutrisi Tinggi Dari Kacang Merah
http://www.sinergifitness.com/site2/kumpulan-artikel-fitness-a-kesehatan/34-artikel/105-nutrisi-tinggi-dari-kacang-merah

Tahukah Anda jika kacang merah merupakan salah satu kelompok kacang polong yang paling terkenal di dunia? Ya, kacang merah sudah menjadi bahan berbagai masakan lezat di dunia yang digemari.

Kacang merah biasa dikonsumsi ketika sudah benar-benar masak berupa kacang kering. Di Indonesia, kacang merah kering umumnya dimasak menjadi bubur, sup atau campuran sayur, nasi tim atau es. Kacang merah juga sering dimasak menjadi selai manis yang digunakan sebagai pengisi beberapa kue seperti bakpau, kue bulan, kue moci, kue dorayaki, donat isi, dan lain-lain.

Kacang merah tergolong makanan nabati kelompok kacang polong (legume); satu keluarga dengan kacang hijau, kacang kedelai, kacang tolo, dan kacang uci. Ada beberapa jenis kacang merah diantaranya adalah red bean, kacang adzuki (kacang merah kecil), dan kidney bean (kacang merah besar).

Kandungan Nutrisi Kacang Merah

Selain dimasak menjadi berbagai makanan lezat, kandungan nutrisi kacang merah juga luar biasa kaya. Kacang merah kaya akan asam folat, kalsium, karbohidrat kompleks, serat, dan protein yang tergolong tinggi. Kandungan karbohidrat kompleks dan serat yang tinggi dalam kacang merah membuatnya dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol darah. Kadar indeks glikemik kacang merah juga termasuk rendah sehingga menguntungkan penderita diabetes dan menurunkan risiko timbulnya diabetes.

Kacang merah kering adalah sumber karbohidrat kompleks, serat makanan (fiber), vitamin B (terutama asam folat dan vitamin B6), fosfor, mangaan, besi, thiamin, dan protein. Setiap 100 gram kacang merah kering yang telah direbus dapat menyediakan 9 gram protein atau 17 persen dari angka kecukupan protein harian.

Kandungan protein dan profil asam amino dalam 100 gr kacang merah (kidney bean) dari yang terbanyak adalah asam glutamat (1323 mg), asam aspartat (1049 mg), leucine (693 mg), lysine (595 mg), arginine (537 mg), serine (472 mg), phenylalanine (469 mg), valine (454 mg), isoleucine (383 mg), proline (368 mg), threonine (365 mg), alanine (364 mg), glycine (339 mg), dan lain-lain sisanya di bawah 300 mg.

Kandungan protein dalam kacang polong, termasuk kacang merah, sudah lama diakui kontribusinya pada menu makanan sehari-hari. Bahkan kacang merah memasok kebutuhan protein hampir sama banyaknya dengan daging. Walaupun protein nabati yang terkandung dalam kacang merah tergolong protein tak lengkap karena kurang lengkanya profil asam amino esensial, namun dengan mudah dapat dilengkapi dengan mengkonsumsi kacang merah bersama padi-padian/sereal, produk susu, atau sejumlah kecil daging. Jadi, tidak sulit untuk melengkapi kekurangan komponen protein (asam amino) yang terdapat pada kacang merah.

Nutrisi vitamin dalam kacang merah diantaranya adalah folat yang mampu mencukupi kebutuhan harian sebesar 33 persen, 11 persen kebutuhan thiamin, 10 persen kebutuhan vitamin K, 6 persen kebutuhan vitamin B6, dan lain-lain sisanya di bawah 3 persen.

Kandungan mineral kacang merah mampu mencukupi masing-masing 24 persen kebutuhan harian mineral mangaan, 16 persen kebutuhan mineral besi, 14 persen kebutuhan mineral fosfor, 12 persen kebutuhan mineral potassium dan tembaga, 11 persen kebutuhan mineral magnesium, 7 persen kebutuhan mineral zinc, dan lain-lain sisanya di bawah 3 persen. Kandungan mineral dalam kacang merah kecil (adzuki bean) lebih banyak daripada jenis kacang merah besar (kidney bean).

Kacang merah nyaris bebas lemak, natrium, kolesterol dan sodium. Selain itu kacang merah sangat rendah kalori (hanya 6 persen per 100 gr), serta murah harganya. Bahkan kacang merah mampu mencukupi 30 persen kebutuhan serat makanan (fiber) dan mengandung 168 mg asam lemak Omega-3 dan 107 mg asam lemak Omega-6.

Manfaat Nutrisi Kacang Merah

Melihat berbagai kandungan nutrisi kacang merah diatas, maka dapat diuraikan berbagai manfaatnya, yaitu :

Mencegah kolesterol jahat dan memperlancar pencernaan (anti sembelit). Kandungan fibernya yang tinggi difermentasi dalam usus besar dan menghasilkan asam-asam lemak rantai-pendek, yang dapat menghambat sintesis kolesterol hati. Belum lagi kandungan Omega-3 dan Omega-6 juga akan sangat membantu;
Mencegah resiko diabetes karena kandungan karbohidrat kompleknya berglikemik indek rendah dan termasuk lamban cerna;
Membantu pematangan sel darah merah, membantu sintesa DNA dan RNA, serta menurunkan level homosistein dalam pembuluh arteri (sehingga mengurangi resiko penyakit jantung) dengan kandungan folat dan vitamin B6;
Membantu program diet karena fibernya akan membuat Anda merasa kenyang dan kalorinya juga sangat rendah. Apalagi kandungan protein nabatinya akan bermanfaat untuk perkembangan massa otot tubuh;
Menjaga fungsi sistem syaraf, metabolisme karbohidrat, dan mencegah penyakit beri-beri dengan kandungan thiamin;
Membantu proses metabolisme asam amino, asam lemak, lipid, glukoneogenesis, sintesis neurotransmitter, sintesis histamine, sintesis dan fungsi haemoglobin serta menjaga kesehatan kulit dengan kandungan vitamin B6;
Membantu proses pembekuan darah pada luka
Membantu pembentukan komponen utama sel-sel darah merah, pembentukan enzim, pembentukan tulang, mencegah resiko anemia (darah rendah) dengan kandungan zat mineral zinc, besi, dan tembaga;

Tips Memasak Kacang Merah

Untuk mengurangi kandungan toksin (lectin phytohaemagglutinin) dan gas pada usus yang dihasilkan oleh oligosakarida kacang merah, ada beberapa langkah yang dapat dilakukan. Sehabis kacang merah direndam, buanglah air rendamannya, rebus dengan air yang banyak dalam panci berpenutup selama 2-3 menit, lalu biarkan selama 2 jam. Buang air rebusan tersebut, tambahkan air baru pada suhu kamar hingga kacang merah benar-benar terendam. Sesudah dua jam, buang kembali air itu dan tambahkan lebih banyak air dan biarkan terendam semalam sebelum benar-benar akan dimasak.

Apakah Madu Diizinkan di Diet Diabetes?

Is Honey Allowed in Diabetic Diet?
http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/diabetic-diet.html


The diabetic diet is strictly controlled in terms of sugar and mineral compounds intake. Hence it's not surprising that "whether honey is allowed for diabetic patients" is a frequently asked question for Benefits of Honey.
Diabetes is a deficiency of the pancreas, whereby insulin is not produced sufficiently or utilised properly. It’s basically a disorder of metabolism, primarily that of carbohydrates. The ingested sugars and starches cannot be deployed, and hence are eliminated in the urine. Symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, extreme thirst or hunger, weight loss, fatigue, numbness, and infections. There are 2 types of diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body doesn't produce any insulin, whereas, people with type 2 diabetes either don't produce enough insulin or their cells resist the insulin, and they tend to be overweight, because the high insulin levels, unable to channel glucose into muscle cells, convert glucose into fat and cholesterol instead. This results not only in obesity, but also very often heart disease, poor blood circulation in the legs and eye diseases. While type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin injections, which help glucose get into the body cells and maintain blood glucose control, type 2 diabetics commonly use glucose-lowering drugs. Most diabetics are type 2 and are usually in their 40s.

With appropriate control, many diabetics and pre-diabetes (people with blood glucose levels higher than normal person but not high enough to be considered diabetic) are still able to safely enjoy natural honey. Before incorporating honey into their meal planning, find out how much of the sweet liquid can be consumed on a daily basis. Each diabetic is different and should learn how his or her body reacts to different foods containing carbohydrates. Bear in mind that the total amount of starches or carbohydrates in a food is the key consideration, not the amount of sugar. Honey is a carb food as well, just like rice, potatoes, thus just keep in mind that 1 tablespoon of honey has approximately 17 grams of carbohydrate, and taking that into account when counting your total daily intake of carbohydrates, diabetics can work it out just like any other sweetener or carbohydrates. To monitor response to honey, blood sugar levels could be noted before consumption and again two hours later. Also, when purchasing commercial honey for diabetic patients, be sure that it is pure and not adulterated by glucose, starch, cane sugar, and even malt, which is to better to be avoided in a diabetic diet.

You get (99 per cent of the time) a "no-no" answer when you ask doctors if honey is allowed for diabetics. This is not surprising as the idea of eating honey to regulate blood glucose seems rather counter intuitive. But did they ever tell you that clinical studies have shown that pure honey is a healthier choice in diabetic diet than table sugar and any other non-nutritive sweeteners such as Splenda, saccharin, aspartame? Honey requires lower levels of insulin compared to regular white sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels as rapidly as table sugar, that is, it has a lower Glycemic Index than sugar. Though honey contains a significant amount of sugar, it consists largely of two simple individual units of sugar - glucose and fructose, which are absorbed at different rates into the body. In fact, Dr Ron Fessenden reveals in his book, The Honey Revolution that "the more glucose intolerant one is, the lower the blood sugar response after honey ingestion versus the higher the blood sugar response after consuming sucrose or glucose". The book further explains why honey is able to perform this remarkable regulatory role. The perfect one-to-one ratio of fructose and glucose found in honey facilitates glucose intake to the liver, hence preventing an overload of glucose entering the blood circulation. And nature's honey is the only sugar that possesses this special ability.

Next, the use of monosaccharide fructose is often recommended to sweeten the diet of diabetics due to its significantly lower GI. The trouble is, fructose is absorbed differently than other sugars. It is not utilized for energy like glucose, but stored in the liver as triglycerides. This presents a great metabolism burden on the liver and can eventually lead to major health issues related to obesity and further health damages for diabetics. Sadly, in their quest to avoid sugar in foods, many diabetics miss the point when they start to plan their diet around "fructose fruit sugar", "diabetic birthday cake", "NutraSweet ice-cream", "sugar-free candies", etc, which all contain corn syrup or artificial sweeteners that can be potentially even more harmful than regular sugar when consumed in the long term.

Apakah Madu Diizinkan di Diet Diabetes?



Diet diabetes secara ketat dikontrol dalam hal gula dan mineral asupan senyawa. Oleh karena itu tidak mengherankan bahwa "madu apakah diperbolehkan untuk pasien diabetes" adalah pertanyaan yang sering diajukan untuk Manfaat Madu.
Diabetes adalah kekurangan pankreas, dimana insulin tidak diproduksi cukup atau digunakan dengan benar. Ini pada dasarnya gangguan metabolisme, terutama yang dari karbohidrat. Gula dan pati tertelan tidak dapat digunakan, dan karenanya dieliminasi dalam urin. Gejala diabetes antara lain sering kencing, rasa haus ekstrim atau kelaparan, penurunan berat badan, kelelahan, mati rasa, dan infeksi. Ada 2 jenis diabetes. Pada diabetes tipe 1, tubuh tidak memproduksi insulin apapun, sedangkan, orang dengan diabetes tipe 2 juga tidak menghasilkan cukup insulin atau sel mereka menolak insulin, dan mereka cenderung kelebihan berat badan, karena kadar insulin tinggi, tidak mampu saluran glukosa ke dalam sel otot, mengubah glukosa menjadi lemak dan kolesterol sebagai gantinya. Hal ini mengakibatkan tidak hanya pada obesitas, tetapi juga sangat sering penyakit jantung, sirkulasi darah yang buruk di kaki dan penyakit mata. Sementara diabetes tipe 1 diobati dengan suntikan insulin, yang membantu glukosa masuk ke sel-sel tubuh dan mempertahankan kontrol glukosa darah, penderita diabetes tipe 2 biasanya menggunakan obat penurun glukosa. Kebanyakan penderita diabetes tipe 2 dan biasanya di usia 40-an.

Dengan kontrol yang tepat, banyak penderita diabetes dan pra-diabetes (orang dengan tingkat glukosa darah lebih tinggi dari orang normal tetapi tidak cukup tinggi untuk dipertimbangkan diabetes) masih dapat dengan aman menikmati madu alam. Sebelum memasukkan madu ke dalam perencanaan makan mereka, mengetahui berapa banyak cairan manis dapat dikonsumsi setiap hari. Diabetes masing-masing berbeda dan harus belajar bagaimana tubuh nya bereaksi terhadap makanan yang berbeda yang mengandung karbohidrat. Ingatlah bahwa jumlah total pati atau karbohidrat dalam makanan adalah pertimbangan utama, bukan jumlah gula. Madu adalah makanan karbohidrat juga, seperti nasi, kentang, sehingga hanya perlu diingat bahwa 1 sendok makan madu memiliki sekitar 17 gram karbohidrat, dan mengambil yang ke account user ketika menghitung total asupan harian Anda dari karbohidrat, penderita diabetes dapat menyelesaikannya sama seperti pemanis lainnya atau karbohidrat. Untuk memonitor respon terhadap madu, kadar gula darah dapat dicatat sebelum dikonsumsi dan lagi dua jam kemudian. Juga, ketika membeli madu komersial untuk pasien diabetes, pastikan bahwa itu adalah murni dan tidak tercemar oleh glukosa, pati, gula tebu, dan bahkan malt, yaitu untuk lebih baik yang harus dihindari dalam diet diabetes.

Anda mendapatkan (99 persen dari waktu) "tidak-tidak" ketika Anda meminta dokter madu yang diperbolehkan untuk penderita diabetes. Hal ini tidak mengejutkan karena ide makan madu untuk mengatur glukosa darah tampaknya agak kontra intuitif. Tapi apakah mereka pernah mengatakan bahwa studi klinis telah menunjukkan bahwa madu murni merupakan pilihan yang sehat dalam diet diabetes dari gula meja dan setiap non-gizi lain seperti pemanis Splenda, sakarin, aspartam? Madu membutuhkan tingkat lebih rendah insulin dibandingkan dengan gula putih biasa dan tidak meningkatkan kadar gula darah secepat gula meja, yaitu, ia memiliki Glycemic Index rendah dari gula. Meskipun madu mengandung sejumlah besar gula, sebagian besar terdiri dari dua unit individu sederhana dari gula -, glukosa dan fruktosa yang diserap pada tingkat yang berbeda ke dalam tubuh. Bahkan, Dr Ron Fessenden mengungkapkan dalam bukunya, Revolusi Madu bahwa "satu lebih banyak glukosa intoleran adalah, semakin rendah respon gula darah setelah konsumsi madu versus tinggi respon gula darah setelah mengkonsumsi sukrosa atau glukosa". Buku ini lebih lanjut menjelaskan mengapa madu dapat melakukan ini peran regulasi yang luar biasa. Rasio satu-ke-satu yang sempurna dari fruktosa dan glukosa yang ditemukan dalam madu memfasilitasi asupan glukosa ke hati, maka mencegah kelebihan beban glukosa memasuki sirkulasi darah. Dan madu alam adalah gula hanya yang memiliki kemampuan khusus.

Berikutnya, penggunaan fruktosa monosakarida sering dianjurkan untuk mempermanis pola makan penderita diabetes karena GI secara signifikan lebih rendah. Masalahnya, fruktosa diserap berbeda dari gula-gula lain. Hal ini tidak dimanfaatkan untuk energi seperti glukosa, tetapi disimpan dalam hati sebagai trigliserida. Ini menyajikan beban metabolisme yang besar pada hati dan akhirnya dapat menyebabkan masalah kesehatan utama yang berhubungan dengan obesitas dan kerusakan kesehatan lebih lanjut untuk penderita diabetes. Sayangnya, dalam pencarian mereka untuk menghindari gula dalam makanan, banyak penderita diabetes kehilangan titik ketika mereka mulai merencanakan diet mereka sekitar "gula buah fruktosa", "diabetes kue ulang tahun", "NutraSweet es krim", "bebas gula permen", dll, yang semuanya mengandung sirup jagung atau pemanis buatan yang dapat berpotensi lebih berbahaya daripada gula biasa bila dikonsumsi dalam jangka panjang.

Obat tradisional banyak memberi manfaat bagi manusia, selain proses-nya secara alami memperkuat imun tubuh, juga dapat diperoleh dengan mudan dan murah. Berikut salah satu cara merekan batuk dan pilek secara alami :
Parut bawang merah, tambahkan minyak telon, lalu balurkan pada punggung sampai bagian pantat sambil sedikit diurut. Juga pusar dan ubun-ubun. Untuk ramuan minum: air kelapa satu cangkir ditambah 1 sendok teh madu, aduk, lalu kukus. Setelah dingin, berikan pada anak sebanyak 3 sendok teh setiap 2 jam sekali. Ramuan ini diberikan untuk bayi 8 bulan ke atas. Bila usia anak di bawah 8 bulan, cukup dengan pemberian ASI atau ibunya yang minum ramuan tersebut.

Pada orang dewasa dapat gunakan ramuan minum berupa air kunyit dan madu. Setengah sampai satu ruas jari kunyit yang sudah bersih dibakar, dikerik kulitnya, diparut, lalu diberi air matang 1/2 cangkir, peras, kemudian diendapkan. Campur bagian air kunyit yang tanpa endapan dengan kocokan 1 butir kuning telur dan 1 sendok makan madu, kemudian disuapkan pada di badan. Ramuan ini bisa untuk penurun panas seperti pada sakit cacar air, flu, atau apa saja.

Penggunaan antibiotik sebaiknya dihindarkan karena berpotensi membunuh dan melemahkan imun tubuh. Selain itu pilek juga dapat disebabkan oleh alergi, kenali alergan dengan baik, dan tingkatkan daya tahan tubuh juga dengan makan makanan yang sehat serta olah raga secara teratur.

Menggunakan sambiloto juga cukup efektif untuk meredakan pilek menahun

Kulit Manggis Bikin Awet Muda
BOGOR, KOMPAS.COM - Kulit buah manggis ternyata sangat berguna untuk menghambat proses penuaan, mencegah penyakit pembuluh darah, dan menjadi antikanker. Nah, Dr Indah Yuliasih, peneliti manggis dari Fakultas Teknologi Pertanian Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), memberikan cara mengolah kulit buah ini menjadi minuman menyegarkan dan nikmat.
Dalam diskusi pagi bersama wartawan di IPB, Kamis (2/2/2012), Indah menuturkan proses pembuatan minuman berkhasiat ini. Pertama, pisahkan kulit manggis dengan buahnya. Pengolahkan bisa dengan mengikutsertakan biji manggis (kaya lemak) atau hanya sekadar kulit manggis yang mengandung Xanthone. Gunakan sendok untuk mengeruk bagian dalam kulit yang sudah dibersihkan, dan pisahkan dari kulit keras di bagian luarnya.
Setelah itu, dinginkan di dalam lemari pendingin jika hendak disimpan hingga jumlahnya mencukupi. Lalu, campur dengan ethanol dan air dengan perbandingan 1:2 dan hancurkan dengan blender. Endapkan selama 24 jam, setelah itu saring untuk memisahkan ampas dengan ekstrak Xanthone kulit manggis.
"Untuk membuat rasa yang enak, bisa dicampur dengan madu dan beri pewarna alami ekstrak bunga rosela, dan anggur atau apel sebagai penambah flavor," tutur Indah.
Menurut Indah, hasil pencampuran Xanthone dengan rosela dan madu dipanaskan dengan suhu 90-95 derajat celsius selama 10 menit untuk menguapkan ethanol. Setelah itu, dinginkan dengan suhu kamar lalu campurkan dengan flavor anggur atau apel. Nah, sirup Xanthone siap untuk dinikmati dengan dicampur air. Silahkan mencoba.
