UBI JALAR MERAH Bagi kesehatan sekarang jangan pernah lagi menyia-nyiakan ubi jalar merah, karena khasiatnya lebih dahsyat dari sekedar menjaga kesehatan mata. Sekelompok antioksidan yang tersimpan dalam ubi jalar merah mampu menghalangi laju perusakan sel oleh radikal bebas. Karenanya ubi jalar merah dapat mencegah kemerosotan daya ingat dan kepikunan, penyakit jantung koroner, serta kanker. Plus bonus sehat lainnya termasuk membuat kita tetap awet muda. Ubi jalar yang termasuk umbi-umbian murah ini jarang masuk dalam menu keluarga kita, padahal di dapur Barat, ubi jalar merupakan primadona. Pada perayaan hari besar besar, seperti Natal dan Thanksgiving Day, penduduk AS lazim membuat sajian eksklusif dari ubi jalar seperti cake, kue kering, pure pelengkap steak atau salad, es krim, puding, muffin, souffle, pancake, kroket, sup krim, maupun sebagai taburan hidangan panggang (au gratin ) "Merah" pertanda kaya Betakaroten Kita mengenal ada beberapa jenis ubi jalar. Yang paling umum adalah ubi jalar putih. Selain itu ada juga yang ungu maupun merah. Sekalipun disebut ubi jalar merah, sebenarnya warna daging buahnya adalah tidak merah, tapi kekuningan hingga jingga alias orange. Mengapa pilih yang merah ? Dibanding ubi jalar putih,tekstur ubi jalar merah memang lebih berair dan kurang masir (sandy), tapi lebih lembut. Rasanya tidak semanis yang putih padahal kadar gulanya tidak berbeda. Ubi jalar putih mengandung 260 mkg (869 SI) betakaroten per 100 gram, ubi merah yang berwarna kuning emas tersimpan 2900 mkg (9675 SI) betakaroten, ubi merah yang berwarna jingga 9900 mkg (32967 SI). Makin pekat warna jingganya, makin tinggi kadar betakarotennya yang merupakan bahan pembentuk vitamin A dalam tubuh. Secangkir ubi jalar merah kukus yang telah dilumatkan menyimpan 50000 SI betakaroten, setara dengan kandungan betakaroten dalam 23 cangkir brokoli. Yang menggembirakan perebusan hanya merusak 10% kadar betakaroten, sedangkan penggorengan atau pemanggangan dalam oven hanya 20%. Namun penjemuran menghilangkan hampir separuh kandungan betakaroten, sekitar 40%. Menyantap seporsi ubi jalar merah kukus /rebus sudah memenuhi anjuran kecukupan vitamin A 2100 - 3600 mkg sehari. Didukung pasukan zat gizi lain. Selain betakaroten, warna jingga pada ubi jalar juga memberi isyarat akan tingginya kandungan senyawa lutin dan zeaxantin, pasangan antioksidan karotenoid. Keduanya termasuk pigmen warna sejenis klorofil merupakan pembentuk vitamin A. Lutein dan zeaxantin merupakan senyawa aktif yang memiliki peran penting menghalangi proses perusakan sel. Ubi jalar merah juga kaya vitamin E. Dari 2/3 cangkir ubi merah kukus yang dilumatkan diperoleh asupan vitamin E untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari. Satu buah sedang (100 g) ubi jalar merah kukus hanya mengandung 118 kalori, 1/4 kalori sepotong black forest cake. Zat gizi lain dalam ubi jalar merah adalah kalium, fosfor, mangan dan vitamin B6. Jika dimakan mentah ubi jalar merah menyumbang cukup vitamin C. Makan 1 buah sedang ubi jalar merah mentah sudah memenuhi 42 % anjuran kecukupan vitamin C sehari. Dibanding dengan havermut (oatmeal), ubi jalar merah lebih kaya serat, khususnya oligosakarida. Menyantap ubi jalar merah 2 - 3 kali seminggu membantu kecukupan serat. Apabila dimakan bersama kulitnya menyumbang serat lebih banyak lagi. Khasiat Betakaroten Si Provitamin A Khasiat ubi jalar merah sebagai "obat mata" telah terbukti di Kabupaten Jayawijaya. Awalnya 0.5 % penduduknya menderita bercak bitot (xeroftalmia), bercak putih kapur pada kornea mata. Penyakit kekurangan vitamin A ini dapat menyebabkan kebutaan. Setelah kebiasaan mereka menyantap ubi jalar merah berikut daunnya tak ada lagi penderita. Manfaat lain ubi jalar merah mengendalikan produksi hormon melatonin yang dihasilkan kelenjar pineal di dalam otak. Melatonin merupakan antioksidan andal yang menjaga kesehatan sel dan sistem saraf otak, sekaligus mereparasinya jika ada kerusakan. Kurang asupan vitamin A menghambat produksi melatonin dan menurunkan fungsi saraf otak sehingga muncul gangguan tidur dan berkurangnya daya ingat. Keterbatasan produksi melatonin berbuntut menurunkan produksi hormon endokrin, sehingga sistem kekebalan tubuh merosot. Kondisi ini memudahkan terjadinya infeksi dan mempercepat laju proses penuaan. Ubi jalar merah yang berlimpah vitamin A & E dapat mengoptimumkan produksi hormon melatonin. Dengan rajin makan ubi jalar merah, ketajaman daya ingat dan kesegaran kulit serta organ tetap terjaga. Yang unik, kombinasi vitamin A (betakaroten) dan vitamin E dalam ubi jalar merah bekerja sama menghalau stroke dan serangan jantung. Betakarotennya mencegah stroke sementara vitamin E ubi jalar merah mencegah terjadinya penyumbatan dalam saluran pembuluh darah, sehingga munculnya serangan jantung dapat dicegah. Manfaat tersebut didukung pula oleh kandungan serat dalam ubi jalar merah. Sebagian besar serat ubi jalar merah merupakan serat larut, yang bekerja serupa busa spon. Serat menyerap kelebihan lemak/ kolesterol darah, sehingga kadar lemak/ kolesterol dalam darah tetap aman terkendali. Serat alami oligosakarida yang tersimpan dalam ubi jalar merah ini sekarang menjadi komoditas bernilai dalam pemerkayaan produk pangan olahan. Selain mencegah sembelit, oligosakarida memudahkan buang angin. Hanya pada orang yang sangat sensitif oligosakarida mengakibatkan kembung. Tak Layak Disepelekan. Ubi jalar merah merupakan umbi- umbian yang mengandung senyawa antioksidan paling komplet.Selain vitamin A, C, dan E, ubi jalar merah juga berlimpah vitamin B6 (piridoksin) yang berperan penting dalam menyokong kekebalan tubuh. Di luar perkiraan banyak orang ubi jalar merah dengan kandungan vitamin B6-nya mampu mengendalikan jerawat musiman yang muncul menjelang menstruasi. Agaknya hampir semua zat gizi yang terkandung dalam ubi jalar merah mendukung kemampuannya memerangi serangan jantung koroner. Kesimpulan sebuah hasil penelitian menyebutkan kalium dalam ubi merah memangkas 40% resiko penderita hipertensi terserang stroke fatal. Sementara tekanan darah yang berlebihan pun merosot 25 %. Jika demikian kenyataannya, kini jangan pernah lagi menganggap remeh ubi jalar merah. Nikmati kapan saja kita suka, sambil memupuk manfaatnya. |
Most of us don't drink before sleeping because we want to avoid frequent trips to the bathroom.
SILENT KILLER: What u need to know about NIGHTMARE or BANGUNGOT !
It seems only MALES are afflicted with this.
IMPORTANT: Never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8 hour rest. It is sudden death in adults which cause them to die while sleeping. Many theories have been put forward as its cause. However, here is an article which sheds some light to the cause of this malady. Please read on:
Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR:
The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding. However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water. It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8 hour rest.
PLEASE PASS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS!
| During my university years, I used to frustrate my parents by throwing away egg yolks and eating only the whites. No worries, I thought, as my parents just didn't know enough to realize that I was reducing my risk of heart disease by avoiding cholesterol. Looking back, I'm sure that my parents were wondering how I could so easily toss away precious egg yolks that they were able afford only a few times a year when they lived in Korea. Today, I am grateful to have a better understanding of the relationship between cholesterol and health. How about you? Are you afraid of having high cholesterol? Are you throwing away egg yolks because you think they're bad for your health? Are you taking cholesterol-lowering medication or considering starting on one? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I encourage you to consider the work of Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD, author of The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease. I consider Dr. Ravnskov to be the world's leading expert on the relationship between cholesterol and human health. Here are some facts from his book: 1. Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance that you need to be healthy. High cholesterol itself does not cause heart disease. 2. People who have low blood cholesterol have the same rates of heart disease as people who have high blood cholesterol. 3. The cholesterol found in your blood comes from two sources: cholesterol in food that you eat and cholesterol that your liver makes from other nutrients. The amount of cholesterol that your liver produces varies according to how much cholesterol you eat. If you eat a lot of cholesterol, your liver produces less. If you don't eat much cholesterol, your liver produces more. This is why a low cholesterol diet does not typically decrease a person's blood cholesterol by more than a few percent. 4. Drugs that solely lower your cholesterol do not decrease your risk of dying from heart disease, nor do they increase your lifespan. These drugs pose dangers to your health and may decrease your lifespan. 5. The newer cholesterol-lowering drugs - called statins - do reduce your risk of heart disease, but through mechanisms that are not related to lower blood cholesterol. And alarmingly, statins like lipitor mevacor, zocor, pravachol, and lescol are known to stimulate cancer in rodents. What about HDL and LDL? Well, here are some facts about LDL and HDL that the vast majority of my patients are surprised to learn: · LDL and HDL are not types of cholesterol. · LDL and HDL are lipoproteins that transport cholesterol through your blood circulatory system. · LDL stands for Low Density Lipoprotein, and HDL stands for High Density Lipoprotein. · LDL is often mistakenly thought of as being bad cholesterol because it carries cholesterol to your arteries. · HDL is often mistakenly referred to as good cholesterol because it carries cholesterol away from your arteries (to your liver). · LDL and HDL carry the same cholesterol. Here are the main points to take away from the facts presented above: Cholesterol that naturally occurs in animal foods is not harmful to your health. But it can become harmful to your health if it is damaged by exposure to high levels of heat and/or harsh processing techniques. If you regularly consume damaged cholesterol and foods that are rich in free radicals, you likely have significant quantities of damaged cholesterol floating through your circulatory system. And if you regularly have damaged cholesterol floating around in your blood, then a high LDL level correlates with a higher-than-average risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and a high HDL level correlates with a lower-than-average risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In other words, if you have significant amounts of damaged cholesterol in your blood circulation, you don't want a lot of LDL to be available to carry this cholesterol to your arteries, where the damaged cholesterol can contribute to atherosclerosis, and you want a lot of HDL available to shuttle damaged cholesterol away from your arteries. So while it's true that a high HDL/total cholesterol ratio can reflect a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, what's most important when it comes to cholesterol and your health is to avoid eating animal foods that have been cooked at high temperatures, since these foods are typically rich in damaged cholesterol. Where Conventional Guidelines Come From Sadly, conventional guidelines that promote lower cholesterol levels for a healthy heart are influenced in large part by pharmaceutical companies earning billions of dollars with their cholesterol-lowering drugs. For example, in the summer of 2004, a panel of physicians lowered the "safe" level of LDL cholesterol from 130 to 100, and further recommended that people at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease aim to lower their LDL levels to 70. This modification in medical standard of practice caused an estimated eight million Americans to become instant candidates for cholesterol-related drug therapy. While this "news" was covered by major media outlets and news wires, only one newspaper, Newsday, reported that most of the physicians responsible for establishing the new recommendations had a conflict of interest. Almost all had received money – usually in the form of grants or honoraria – from at least ten drug companies. The National Cholesterol Educational Program, the source of the new medical treatment guidelines for cholesterol, failed to report these financial disclosures. Guidelines for Healthy HDL, LDL, Total Cholesterol, and Triglyceride Levels What follows are my personal guidelines on monitoring cholesterol, based on the research that I've done on this issue, and evaluating the blood test results and health of hundreds of people I have worked with over the past several years. 1. Ideally, it's best to have a blood cholesterol level of over 150 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L). But if your blood cholesterol level is lower than this, so long as you are eating a nutrient-dense, plant-centered diet and not suffering from any health challenges, there is likely no cause for concern. Low cholesterol over the long term may lead to depression, increased risk of stroke, and numerous problems related to hormonal imbalances. If you are not getting enough vitamin D from your diet, having low cholesterol may lead to vitamin D deficiency, as sunlight creates vitamin D in your body by acting on cholesterol found in your skin. 2. Ideally, your HDL/total cholesterol ratio should be above 25%. Generally, the higher this ratio, the better. If this ratio is 10-15 percent or lower, there increased risk of eventually experiencing a heart attack. 3. Ideally, it's best to have a triglyceride/HDL ratio of 2.0 or lower. 4. If your HDL/total cholesterol and triglyceride/HDL ratios are in the ranges listed above, and you are eating mainly undamaged cholesterol, having a total cholesterol of more than 200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L) most probably isn't a cause for worry. In fact, even people whose genetics cause them to have total cholesterol above 350 mg/dL (9.0 mmol/L) have been shown to have no elevated risk of heart disease as long as their ratios are fine and they stay away from eating damaged cholesterol. Here's my take-home perspective on cholesterol and your health: Rather than focus just on the numbers from your latest blood test, your health is best served by: 1. Ensuring regular intake of a wide variety of nutrient-dense plant foods (vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains, and small amounts of nuts and seeds). 2. Ensuring regular intake of healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, olives, coconuts, organic eggs, and perhaps some cold water fish on occasion. 3. Minimizing intake of animal foods that have been highly processed and/or exposed to high cooking temperatures. 4. Striving to live a balanced life that includes adequate rest, physical activity, exposure to fresh air and sunlight (without getting burned), meaningful relationships, and a sense of purpose. Please note: Some organizations cite various studies that indicate that low-fat and low-cholesterol diets are healthier than diets that include generous amounts of healthy fats and undamaged cholesterol. The problem with these studies, as I see it, is that they don't make a distinction between damaged vs. undamaged fat and cholesterol. And this is an extremely important distinction; there's a huge difference between eating lightly cooked organic eggs vs. a well done steak several times a week for many years. |
