2009-03-05T23:30:00.000-08:00

Did You Know The Wild Forms Of The Banana Plant Come Originally From The Indo-Malaysia Area?

How Many Ways To Serve Banana?

How To Ripe Banana?

1) Natural

2) Store at room temperature.

3) To ripe faster, place under the sun.

Caution: 4) Commercially to make this process go faster bananas are treated with ethylene-gas.

5) Never store bananas in the refrigerator, the fruit will decay from the inside. Banana will not ripe but will turn black in the refrigerator.

The "Food As Medicine" For Banana:

1) Edible banana is yellow when ripe.

2) But recent findings by Japanese scientists discovered that, when deep-ripe banana turned dark yellow with some dark patches on the skin, the bio-active phytochemical is very high and it has beneficial effect of "anti-tumor" activity.

3) Nutrition contains of banana includes :

- a good source of fiber for a healthier bowel movement; but, taking green/un-ripe and deep fried banana/chips will, on the other hand, caused serious constipation.

Talcum Powder - risk or safe to use?

2009-02-17T20:09:00.000-08:00

A recent publication about the risk of using talcum by Consumer Association of Penang (CAP) has prompted me to share this:

CAP cited a study from the Harvard Medical School in the United States, an article about "the risk of regular genital talcum use was associated with ovarian cancer risk in women... and publication says "more research is needed on these interactions and the underlying biological mechanisms involved".

The main component in talcum powder is "magnesium silicate hydroxide", also commonly known as "talc", which is the main ingredient in baby, medicated and designer perfumed body powder.

For safer choices, you may consider alternatives such as:

1) use natural cooling powder made from rice, traditionally use by our grandparents, as the natural talcum powder.

2) look for talcum powder with "Bio degradable" quality. Bio-degradable means the residue can be flushed out by our body and will not stored in our body.

3) talcum WITHOUT "magnesium silicate hydroxide".

Happy "talcum" safely!

Iron (mineral) - good & bad

2009-02-16T00:15:00.000-08:00

Iron is essential for blood formation and other minerals metabolic activity. Lack of iron will cause illnesses such as anemia; but too much of iron supplement will cause more danger and, in some cases, life threatening.

Some major side effects such as : damaged to liver and kidneys, promotes tumor and cancer cells growth, depletes other minerals such as zinc and calcium.

Foods that rich in iron : (animal source) liver (pregnant women should avoid), red meats, seafood and etc; (vegetable source) cooked beans and lentils, cereals, cooked potatoes with skin and etc.

Coffee, tea and soy products generally will block the iron absorption.

Happy choosing your right "iron"

Proper Way To Cook Beans

2009-02-06T20:02:00.000-08:00

Beans - nutritious food with proteins, EFA, vitamins and minerals. Different colors has different health benefits. The main issue is - what is the proper way to prepare before cooking.

Non-sprout beans have natural protective layer - the phyto-toxin on the outer layer of the skin. Once you soak it over night, the beans will start to sprout, the nutrients will be released automatically and the toxin is neutralised. What a magic working of nature!!!!

Remember, soak overnight before you cook your beans.

happy cooking.
