7 Kesalahan Besar Yang Merosak Kesihatan Anda

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem

Ada 7 perkara yang anda amalkan sepanjang hayat yang menyebabkan anda tidak sihat:

1. Bernafas secara salah
2. Berfikir secara negatif
3. Minum tak betul
4. Makan tak pandai
5. Kencing pun malas
6. Berak tak puas
7. Tidur tak tentu arah

7 amalan diatas jarang kita ambil hirau seolah olah buat macam mana pun tak jadi hal. Sebenarnya jika kita lakukan semuanya secara yang betul kita akan jadi sihat, susah mendapat penyakit kecuali jika ianya ditakdirkan oleh Allah untuk berlaku walau pun segala usaha untuk menghindarinya kita lakukan. ( Takdir, Qada' dan Qadar akan kita sentuh dihalaman dan topik yang lain).Malangnya rata rata kebanyakan amalan ini dilakukan dengan tidak, atau kurang betul dan akibatnya kita kurang sihat.

BERNAFAS: Kita boleh hidup tanpa makan mungkin hingga 10 hari ( pada hari ke6 kita hanya 'bernyawa ikan' sahaja dan kalau anda kaki bola pun dalam keadaan ini dah tak heran bola ke apa ke). Kita juga mungkin boleh bertahan tanpa air 5-7 hari ( adooh dahaga gile'). Tapi jika saya tutup hidung dan mulut anda 2 minit, anda akan K.O ( tapi kalau anda ada tangki oksigen dalam perut mungkin ok kot!.... tapi nak sumbat kok mana?....aaaa saya tahu.....)

Pernafasan yang betul menjadikan anda sihat dan kuat. Tetapi ramai yang dicuba tarik nafas ikut mulut dan hembus nafas ikut hidung. Bila bernafas pula dada tak terbuka dengan perut yang kempis. Bayangkan belon ditiup tidak membesar.

Jadi bila bernafas 'diaphragm' atau bahagian dada perlu membesar membuka ruang kepada kemasukan udara yang mengandungi oksigen, dan bila menghembus nafas ( sorry, bukan yang terakhir ye) mistilah melalui mulut dengan ruang bahagian dada kian mengecil supaya banyak karbon dioksida nyah keluar. Dengan cara ini anda boleh dapat oksigen percuma ( melainakn jika ditempat anda dikenakan bayaran untuk bernafas!).

Bila oksigen masuk dan karbon dioksida keluar anda akan jadi segar, tidak lesu dan tidak mengantuk.
Tahukah anda, menguap, sangap, atau yawning adalah petanda anda kurang oksigen ( bukan kurang tidur...kurang tidur anda melalut, mamai atau bercakap bahasa orang Maris)

Oleh itu belajarlah bernafas atau bernyawa betul2 sebelum nyawa anda ditarik...maaf lawak sikit sebab bila gelak banyak anda kena bernafas panjang. Atau jika susah sangat nak belajar bernafas dengan betul tunggulah anda dikejar anjing, orang gila atau jumpa hantu jembalang. Anda akan lari tercungap2 dan bernafas kencang seolah olah anda sedang dalam perlawanan champion sedut oksigen dengan hadiah lumayan....iaitu tong gas masak, sebab anda ingat itu tong gas oksigen...

Ruang lain topik kedua... ' FIKIR tak betul...'

Cara Mudah Buang Lemak Badan

Anda gemuk? Saiz seluar, baju atau skirt semakin besar? Semakin banyak anda makan tetapi perut sentiasa lapar? Nak lawan nafsu makan tak terdaya. Adakah anda tak ada 'will power' nak lawan kehendak perut yang kian membuncit dengan badan semakin berat sehingga nak naik tangga pun mengeluh sakan?

Jangan risau.
Persoalannya- anda betul betul tak nak gemuk lagi ke?
Adakah anda sanggup usaha sedikit untuk jadi lebih ringan, slim dan sihat?
Kalu jawabannya ya, ayuh mari kita cuba try!

Pertama anda perlu minum air lebih banyak dari biasa. Mulakan dengan 5 botol air saiz 500ml seharai untuk diminum sepanjang hari. Sekiranay anda tak ada masalah/ problem buah pinggang atau ginjal anda boleh minum lebih banyak dari itu. Jangan risau kalau kena kencing kerap. Itu bagus asalkan jangan kencing dalam seluar, atau jangan kencing di roda kereta orang kat parking lot...anjing marah sebab u tiru cara dia yang ori tu...
Nota: Panduan minum air ada dalam blog ini diruang lain...cuba baca

Kedua makan nasi dari jenis beras perang yang banyak serat atau beras basmathi yang kurang kanji. Elak makan beras wangi keran terlalu banyak kanji yang akan cepat jadi gula dalam badan apabila dimakan. Gula pula jika berlebihan dalam badan akan disimpan dalam bentuk lemak. Itu sebablah anda hairan kenapa gemuk walau pun tak makan lemak. Buka anda sahaja yang hairan, malah satu dunia hairan termasuk setengah2 pakar nutrition yang masih percaya faedah piramid makanan yang tak begitu betul.

Ketiga Apabila makan nasi, anda perlu banyakkan sayur sekurang2nya jika dicincang penuh satu cawan besar. Kalau malas makan sayur, eloklah anda berhenti disini sahaja dan sambung cara lama anda. ... malas minum air malas makan sayur dan selalu sembelit.

Selain sayur yang dimakan sebanyak mungkin ( kalau boleh masak jangan sampai leyu),. pastikan anda makan banyak protin dari ikan atau daging. Jaga jaga, uncle, ayam ada banyak kimia dan hormon didalamnya nanti anda berkokok sorang2 pula.

Keempat- Protin penting untuk otot kuat dan untuk membantu pembakaran lemak kerana pencernaan pppprotin memerlukan banyak tenaga. Bila banyak tenaga dibakar untuk pencernaan protin lemak akan dibakar. uppps, jaga jaga nanti api keluar ikut mulut atau bontot anda! he he

Apabila ada protin dan sayur dalam hidangan anda, maka karbohidrat dari nasi akan berubah jadi glukos secara perlahan dan loncatan gula ( sugar spike) tidak akan berlaku. Ini penting untuk mengelakan insulin terhasil terlalu banyak. Bacalah pasal insulin diruang lain dalam blog ini.

Kelima- Buah buahan penting untuk medapatkan serat, vitamin dan galian. Epal, belimbing, jambu, carrot, pisang, betik.... semuanya baik untuk kesihatan badan dan usus. Jika anda makan dua epal sehari dengan beberapa buah lain anda cepat turun berat badan tau.

Keenam- Almond, gajus, walnut, macadamia nut semuanya boleh dibeli dikedai jual bahan kek dengan harga murah. tiap tiap hari anda ambil 5-7 biji dari tiap2 bijirin diatas dan blend kering sampai jadi debu. Campur kan dengan susu atau soys dan minum. Kalau nak sedap sikit campurkan gula kabung ke,a pa ke. Jangan guna gula puteh sebab gula ini perosak kesihatan anda.

Ketujuh- Jalan laju2 atau buat brisk walking ditaman sekurang2 nya 4 kali seminggu selama 30 minit hingga 45 minit tiap2 kali.
Insyaallah anda akan rasa lebih selesa dengan diri sendiri, lebih sihat dan lebih mudah bergerak hari demi hari. tetapi jangan pula terus lihat cermin besar selepas satu hari berdiet cara ini.

Kelapan - anda akan jadi lebih slim....

Wassallam.

Tips For Healthy Heart & Circulation

Viagra was originally developed to improve blood circulation among heart patients. But the good side effect of the drug development was circling around the room chasing for the wife for the long-lost pleasure ( pun intended). Yup, 'election time' in China ( spell erection). So viagra is widely used for men to prove his worth of salt to his woman!
Bold
So you guys, if you want a good 'election' make sure you have good blood 'circuration'. (yes r instead of l)
More serious now!
Shane Ellison, a former executive of a Pharmaceutical company in a book entitled " The Hidden truth About Cholesterol Lowering Drugs" recommended the followings for healthy heart and healthy blood circulation:

  • Engage in a healthy lifestyle habits
  • Abstain from refined sugar and artificial sweetener
  • Quit smoking - don't start
  • Exercise moderately
  • Eat more leafy green vegetables daily
  • Drink more purified water daily
  • Limit milk consumption to moderate amount ( how much is too much?)
  • Eat walnut, coconut oil especially VCO, fresh fruits
  • Eat salmon for omega3 fatty acids
  • Minimize refined grains ( remember the bad Carbohydrates I wrote..)
  • Loose body fat ( read other notes in the blog..)

  • Add to your diet enzyme Nattokinase: The Japanese have been eating nattokinase for more than 1,000 years ( I guess I was young then, ha ha ). This enzyme is known to help safely and naturally eliminate protein build-up, and support healthy blood flow from head to toe ( i.e if you have not been amputated yet)
In a scientific study it was found that, of 173 coagulated blood samples exposed to various nutrients, nattokinase was the only nutrient that was able to successfully break down the clotted blood.
In another session I shall show a simple way to make nattokinase with soybeans by way of fermentation...

Tips to Ward Off or Eliminate Cataracts

Cataracts cause your vision to be cloudy and blurry . In a serious case one can lose his /her vision.
It is caused by free radicals in your body which is associated with unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet, smoking, alcohol, and in people with diabetes. Normally it starts to develop in people after 50.

Cataracts can also be a warning signal for heart problems and other chronic diseases associated with free radicals.

Dr Grassman. OD, an optomerist and acupuncturist in New Paltz, New York, had consistent success in delaying or reversing cataracts using diet and supplements.

Key to prevention of cataracts is using diet and supplements that boost the body's level of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that interferes with cataracts development. Dr Grassmen added that, the lens are made of protein layers arranged orderly enabling light to pass through. As we age, he added, oxygen interferes with these proteins, creating a highly reactive free radicals that cause the proteins to clump together blocking light from passing through the lenses. As such vision becomes blurry.

Vitamins To Take to ward of cataracts:
Vitamins A, C and E. beta carotene, lutein, lycopene, and selenium.

Food to help ward off cataracts:
Eat foods that boost your body's ability to create glutathione, primarily in your liver such as asparagus, eggs, broccoli, avocados, garlic, onion, cantaloupe, watermelon, spinach and strawberries.

Reduce or eliminate refines sugar in your diet.

Supplements known to boost body's glutathione :
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) up to 6-00mg a day
Alpha lipoic acid is particularly effective in boosting glutathione up to 300mg a day.
Vitamin C.

Wear quality sunglasses on a sunny day. Dr Grassmen said that ultraviolet rays (UV rays) encourages the proteins to clump together . In addition, wear broad hat.

NOTE: Glutathione as supplement is difficult to be absorbed by the body, therefore the above diet and supplements help.

See you bright and clear even on a cloudy day! bye

More Health Tips 4U

It doesn't require the brain of a rocket scientist to be healthy. Many of those scientists are sick any way, including some of the doctors you visit regularly to get your drugs. If you don't believe me, go today to your regular clinic and ask your doctor if he or she is on any drugs. YES, many of them, just like us simpletons, are daily fighting their rising blood pressure, the increasing sugar levels ( not including the hiking price of sugar), and the ever increasing girth ( waist line) due to consuming high-glycemic carbohydrates which come in different names of cakes, pastas, rotis and colas.

Tell me of any drug that has proven to CURE diabetes or HBP or obesity etc etc?.
If you are busy 'curing' the symptoms, the disease will sit cooly laughing loud at you! It is like trying to burn wet firewood. By the time the last match stick is ignited to keep on killing the smoke of yet-to burn wood, you have barely finished driving the water out of the wood. And after a half day walk to get a new source of fire, you have to start burning wet wood again because it rained. And that is how you go with drugs. Before the symptoms diminish with load of medicines you have to swallow, new symptoms emerge may be with different names but for the same core disease you are suffering. Its a yo yo affair.

Now Some Tips For You

1. Breakfast that lowers your blood pressure
Research findings: Eating soluble-fibre-rich whole grain oats every day caused a significant dip in blood pressure. It is also found to lower cholesterol and blood sugar.

Make 3/4 cup whole grain oat breakfast with milk and enjoy eating.

2. Foods that fight Aging
Chia seed- a nutty tasting grain with Omega3 fatty acids has high anti-oxidant activity of any whole food. Chia seed is even better than the powerful blueberries.
Aim at 2 daily doses of about 2 teaspoon of the seeds either sprinkling on cereal, yogurt, salads or stir into muffin mix. it can alsi be added to smoothies.

Note: It is essential to keep handy (1) a good blender with multiple speeds and with ice crushing blades, And (2) a dry blender to blend walnuts, macadamia nuts, almond etc so you can mix with soy milk or any healthy beverage.


3. Foods that strengthen your Immune System
Onion, apples and black berries contain quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that strengthen the immune system and forgetfulness.

Will keep you posted with more tips.

Are You a Candidate for Heart Attack?


After the age of 50 one starts to worry about declining health. Despite increase in longevity with availability of drugs and supplements, and all kinds of information on health, the percentage of people living on pills ( drugs etc) is on the increase.

High blood pressure, diabetes and of course obesity are fast encroaching to the younger age groups.
Two things that worry people a great deal are Cholesterol and triglycerides ( fats). The whole modern world is spending trillions of dollars yearly on drugs to reduce the two culprits.

But are they real or just the boogymen of health the scare the hell out of us into spending our hard-earned money?
Do you realize that 50% of those having heart attacks have normal cholesterol and fat levels in their bodies? I know of a health freak friend whom I rated 10/10 on his health, physique and his activities in sports for health. But why did he have a major first heart attack that nearly took his life?

He was shocked when I stared straight into his eyes said that he had a high level of Homocysteine. He gave a loud 100% surprised YES. He said not many doctors were aware of such condition.

About 30 years ago a Professor at Harvard University discovered the association of homocysteiene with heart attack. But since he also found that regular taking of a small dose of aspirin or a daily dose of vitamin B6 and B12 plus Folic acid could do the trick, his research grant funder ( Pharma giant) asked him to stop the research and stop writing about it. Don't let the cat out of the box.
He insisted on pursuing the research and talk about it. The grant was stopped and he was kicked out of a Harvard teaching post.
Why? BECAUSE it is a cheap way of averting heart attack.

AND if you have to swallow daily fistful doses of cholesterol and fat busting pills ( which is not neccessary and not effective anyway, plus some side effects) then the Big Pharmas keep getting filthy richer.

What is homocysteine?

It is an amino acid produced internally from dietary protein metabolism. It can be recycled as another amino acid with the help of vitamin B12 and Folate. Without enough of the two, the cycle becomes faulty and homocysteine level rise in the blood. Elevated homocysteine levels is associated with:
  • deep vein thrombosis
  • Coronary artery disease, and
  • Stroke
Don't go to your favourite clinic ( favourite??) and ask your trusted doctor about homocysteine.
He may think you are talking about a 16 year old homesexual.
