Eggs: No Longer A Forbidden Food

Remember the days when you could enjoy your eggs sunny side up or in a
nice fluffy omelet without worrying about your heart and nasty gobs of
cholesterol clogging your arteries?

What happened to those days?

Let me tell you a little story…

It all starts back in the early 70’s when leisure suits and wood
paneling were in fashion… it’s also when the whole connection between
cholesterol and heart health all began.

Sometime around 1972, the American Heart Association issued a report
that stated that you should limit the amount of eggs you eat so you can
reduce cholesterol intake.

All of a sudden…practically overnight… the poor little egg got a bad
rap and became labeled the “forbidden food” of our time.

As a result, for years we were told by so-called “health experts” that
we should eat no more than three per week or any at all!

The egg became Public Enemy #1… especially those evil little yolks…
they were the “brains” behind the egg’s artery invasion.

So then the egg white omelet was born.

Truth be told… the thought process behind the whole theory was sound…

These “experts” thought that because eggs have cholesterol in them
(especially in those nasty little yolks) so common sense says that they
must raise cholesterol levels in our blood.

Right?

Wrong!

But studies now show that this theory is seriously flawed.

For example, the Framingham Heart Study found that egg consumption was
unrelated to blood cholesterol levels or heart conditions.[i].. and
that includes the yolks.

In another 14-year study… 117,000 nurses and health professionals found
that there was no difference in the risk for coronary heart problems
between those who ate less than one egg per week and those who ate more
than one egg per day..[ii]

So forget what you used to hear about our buddy the egg… because once
you set aside the “Egg Myth”… you’ll see just how healthy and
nutritious they really are.

Eggs are a great source of protein, providing 5.5 grams of protein per
egg and only about 70 calories.

They are also the most complete source of protein…that means they have
all the nine essential amino acids that your body needs… and amino
acids are the “building blocks” of muscle and other tissues in the body!

Eggs are also chock-full of vitamins, such as: A, B, C, D, E and K; as
well as minerals (iron, zinc, selenium), as well as antioxidants lutein
and zeaxanthin.

And just look what these little guys do…

Protects Eyesight: Lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants found in egg
yolks, help prevent age-related eye problems.

Even better research shows that the lutein from eggs is more easily
absorbable by your body than lutein from other food sources.

Regulates the Brain and Nervous System: Egg yolks are the richest
source of choline, a member of the vitamin B family, you can get.

It supports your brain and nervous system function by maintaining the
structure of brain cells, and is a key component of the neuro
-transmitter acetylcholine that helps relay messages from the brain and
through nerves to the muscles.

Promotes healthy pregnancy: Choline is also an essential nutrient that
contributes to fetal brain development. Two eggs provide about 250
milligrams of choline, or about half of the recommended daily intake
for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Protects Heart Health: Since choline is one of the B vitamins
(including B-12), it works as a powerful antioxidant, converting
homocysteine…. a substance that can cause damage to your blood vessels…
into harmless molecules.

What’s more… eggs are a good source of omega-3s. And omega 3’s live up
to their hype, as multiple studies show that omega-3s lower your risk
of developing heart problems.

Promotes weight Loss: The high-quality protein in eggs helps keep you
feeling fuller longer. In fact, during research people reported
feeling less hungry and reduced their caloric intake after eating eggs.

Builds muscle strength: Research shows that high-quality protein like 20
eggs can help active adults build muscle strength and help prevent
muscle loss…and other studies show that choline found in eggs may even
help prevent muscle damage.

Strengthens Bones: Ordinarily vitamin D is produced by your skin in
response to exposure to sunlight. But eggs are one of the few foods
that offer vitamin D radiation free.

Vitamin D’s main job is to strengthen your bones by raising calcium
absorption.

But it does a lot more than that...

It also helps boost your immune system, regulate your blood pressure,
and regulate cell growth.

So you see, those days of enjoying eggs are not gone at all.

So don’t be afraid to crack open some incredible edibles!

But before you set down to your sunny side up smorgasbord, there are
just a few things you need to consider…

Not all eggs are the same.

You might want to try organic, free-range eggs.

Yes… they are a little more expensive…but these eggs that come from
cage free chickens tend to produce eggs that are higher in protein and
vitamins.

And with organic you can rest assured that harmful hormones don’t end
up in your morning omelet.

Two reasons that make the extra money worth it!

Here are also some tips for maintaining the freshness of your eggs.
[iii]

· Store them in the refrigerator where they can stay up to 20 a month.

· Don’t wash them because it can remove the protective coating
on them.

· Keep them in the original carton or a covered container so
they don’t absorb the odors in your fridge or lose any of their
moisture.

· I know many people like to store them on the fridge door, but
that’s not a good idea. Each time the door is opened and closed the
eggs are exposed to too much heat. Keep them on the shelve in a covered
container.

· Store them with their pointed edge facing downward to prevent
the air chamber and the yolk from shifting.

H1N1

Friends,

Thanks to media hype about H1N1, several people who trust me have

either approached or called me to advise. The hype in media about the

utility of face masks and N95 respirators as a tool for general

protection against H1N1 can't be deplored enough. Yesterday, a friend

who listened wanted me to write down briefly what I advised so that he

could tell others in similar words. Hence this short email to friends

whom I have advised recently (and others whom I haven't yet). Please

realize that this is not an official advice, especially the one about

face masks or N95.

Most N95 respirators are designed to filter 95% particulates of 0.3µ,

while the size of H1N1 virus is about 0.1µ. Hence, dependence on N95

to protect against H1N1 is like protecting against rain with an

umbrella made of mosquito net.

Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1 from further proliferation

till the virus limits itself in about 1-2 weeks (its natural cycle).

H1N1, like other Influenza A viruses, only infects the upper

respiratory tract and proliferates (only) there. The only portals of

entry are the nostrils and mouth/ throat. In a global epidemic of this

nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1 in

spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a

problem as proliferation is.

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1

infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms

and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps - not

fully highlighted in most official communications - can be practiced

(instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any

part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you

don't trust salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the

throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms.

Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt

water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on

an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and

powerful preventative method.

4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day

with warm salt water. Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra

Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but blowing the

nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds

dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral

population.

5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C

(Amla and other citrus fruits). If you have to supplement with Vitamin

C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

6. Drink as much of warm liquids as you can. Drinking warm liquids

has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They

wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where

they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

All these are simple ways to prevent, within means of most households,

and certainly much less painful than to wait in long queues outside

public hospitals.

MIGRAINE DAN MCM2 LAIE...

Migraine - boil pandan (pandanus--screw pine leaves) leaves with ginger, take 2-3 X per day. It helps to reduce tumor size and reduce swollen cells in the head which cause migraine.

Lemon-grass - just boil water with lemongrass. This is for general health and anti-cancer. Many people spoke about this, and have been drinking. You can order lemon-grass drink at thai restaurants normally. I have been drinking too.

Formula 1 is from my sis-in-law. She suffers migraine for long time. And after 1-mth drinking it, she has not experience any migraine so far.

Formula 2 is from my mom-in-law. She got this from a friend in Sarawak. She has recommended many people, and was told received good comments after consuming.

Cancer Killer: Ginger & Barley

GINGER

The powerful healing effects of ginger have been well documented. It's a proven remedy for upset stomach. Reams of studies show that it inhibits inflammation. And there is substantial evidence that it fights cancer too.

For instance, a recent University of Michigan study showed that when ginger was added to ovarian cancer cells in the laboratory, it caused the cancer cells to self-destruct (a process known as "apoptosis") .

In a separate study at the University of Minnesota, researchers injected colon cancer cells into mice that were bred to have no immune system.

Half of these mice were routinely fed gingerol, the main active component in ginger. The researchers found that the mice that were fed gingerol lived longer, their tumors were smaller, and the cancer did not spread as widely as in the control group.

With all these health benefits, you should be using ginger as often as you can. The best way I've found to get a healthy serving of ginger is
to juice it. (The brand of juicer I use is an Omega.) Two or three days a week, I juice an apple or two, some carrots, spinach, broccoli,
cabbage, and a big piece of ginger root.

The ginger gives the drink a great flavor and a powerful anti-cancer kick.

I highly recommend that you try it.

Healing and Cleansing with Barley
------------ --------- --------- -------

High in fiber, barley is also a kidney cleanser. Better yet, regular intake of it helps prevent heart disease. BARLEY water was always a regular drink when we were still living at home. Whenever we had to go for a medical exam that included a urine test, my mum would make us drink barley water a day before it to make sure we got a positive result!

Barley is good for your intestinal health too. Try to eat the barley grains you find in your drink or sweet broth with fu chook (beancurd skin) and ginkgo nuts.

It's high in fiber which feeds the friendly bacteria in the colon and helps speed up the transit of fecal matter in it. In this way it helps prevent haemorrhoids and colon cancer.

The propionic acid and beta glucan from barley's insoluble fiber also help lower cholesterol and prevent the formation of gallstones.

Eating barley regularly is a preventive step against heart disease as, besides the fibre content, it is also high in niacin, a B vitamin good for
lowering cholesterol. ...

Diabetics should eat more barley as the fibre will prevent blood sugar levels from rising too high. It also provides relief from constipation or diarrhea for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Barley is rich in selenium which prevents cancer and relieves symptoms of asthma and arthritis. It is a good source of manganese, copper and phosphorous.

Malt sugar comes from sprouted barley which, when fermented, is an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages.

Barley, whose Latin name is "hordeum vulgare", has been cultivated for more than 10,000 years.

Since ancient times, barley has been used for healing purposes and has bee! n known to the Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Athletes in Greece and Rome in those days were known to eat barley bread to give them strength.

BANANA...

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 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.


Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at wor k leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. 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 in 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 protein, 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!"


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 !
