Eat a healthier breakfast to manage diabetes and body weight naturally
The following countries rank the highest in obesity rates:
1. Nauru: 94.95
2. Micronesia: 92.10
3. Cook Islands: 91.85
4. Niue: 83.80
5. Samoa: 82.60
6. Palau: 80.85
7. United States: 78.60
8. Tonga: 77.15
9. Kiribati: 76.60
10. Dominica: 75.80
These rates correspond closely to the highest rates of diabetes and other diseases among countries.
On the other hand, some of the least obese countries (taking into consideration poverty and standard of healthcare), such as Japan, Korea and Singapore, are enjoying the best longevity.
Of course, this situation is quickly changing as well. Singapore is shifting from being one of the least obese countries to having much higher rates. High standards of healthcare and affordability have helped, but things can easily worsen if efforts are not made to break this trend. Thus, our forward-looking government declared a war on diabetes last year.
At the same time, it is wrong to expect the government to solve all of society’s problems. Each individual must work for the future of personal health and family wellbeing.
Among contributing factors, food and nutrition is the most critical for two reasons: (1) food & nutrition directly influence health; (2) this is an area over which individuals have the most control—genes, life style and living environment are not so easily adjusted.
Among the three meals, breakfast is the one over which you have the most control, whereas lunch and dinner are commonly settled in food courts, coffee shops and restaurants.

石榴汁与补钾
石榴汁中还含有最为丰富的钾,钾对维持皮肤和机体的酸碱度,维持细胞内的渗透压和新陈代谢正常必不可少。心肌的正常活动,要求细胞内外的电解质成分保持在一定范围内的平衡,而各种电解质中又以钾对心肌的影响特别大。血钾的过高过低,均可引起显著的心电图变化,重度的血钾不平衡,且能产生严重的心律失常,甚至死亡。
很多人都知道钠 (盐) 对人体的影响。过低的钠会使人觉得乏力,甚至脱水, 呼吸困难。过高的摄取钠,往往会引起高血压及心脏疾病。所以,很多国家都把低盐饮食作为公共卫生教育的主题之一。
实际上,最新的研究显示,只控制钠摄取量是片面和不够的。人体中钾与钠的平衡才是至关重要的。合理的钾摄取以及与钠的平衡可能与高血压和心血管疾病有直接的关系。日本人高血压和心血管疾病的患病率较很多国家低。较普遍的看法是,日本人引用大量的绿茶。有趣的是,美国食品于医药管理局 (FDA) 在2006年5月拒绝了绿茶商 要在食品包装上加注” 绿茶可降低心脏病风险“的请求。恰恰在这之前, FDA批准了 可在食品标签上使用”钾摄取可能降低高血压和中风的风险“的标示。日本饮食中,鱼和生菜明显比其它地方来的多。鱼和生菜都含较高的钾。这可能才是日本人患高血压和中风低的真正原因。
正常人的钾排泄量与食人量相等,在生长时期,由于体内组织增加,钾平衡呈正性,当组织分解时,其所含的钾被释放而排除,则钾呈负平衡。很多天然食物均含钾盐,一般膳食每日可供给2~4克钾,足够生理上的需要。但是,由於饮食习惯的改变,低钾以经成为一个普遍现象。 美国一个调查发现,超过一半的美国人的钾摄取量不足所需量的一半。补钾的最好途径是什么呢?食富含钾的食物——限盐补钾,石榴最佳!
石榴汁与女性健康及衰老
贫血是女性较多的疾病,患病的身体倦怠,易感寒冷,有心悸或呼吸困难出现。经常饮用石榴汁,贫血症状可以减轻。另外,不少女性有偏头痛的烦恼,原因可能是更年期障碍。石榴可以预防偏头痛。孕妇在孕初时,经常伴有孕吐出现,有些孕吐还比较严重,给孕妇带来痛苦。实践证明,孕妇早晚喝一杯石榴汁,能减轻孕期恶心呕吐。
石榴也能刺激女性荷尔蒙的产生。所谓女性荷尔蒙,是包括促进卵巢、子宫、阴道等女性生殖器官发育的卵泡荷尔蒙,以及掌握怀孕机能的黄体荷尔蒙两种,前者称为雌激素,后者叫做孕酮。石榴中含有雌甾酮,同时含有强力雌激素之一的雌甾二醇。喝一杯石榴汁,也许能促进女性荷尔蒙量而会使女性当天就展现更多的女性之美。
石榴中所含有的雌激素是能够保持女性机能的荷尔蒙,但是随着年龄增长,卵巢机能衰退,分泌的雌激素量会减少。这是女性老化现象的第一步,随着雌激素分泌量减少,月经周期紊乱,引起更年期障碍。女性更年期障碍症状虽有不同,但女性都会经历,会出现失眠、焦躁、头痛等。石榴是改善更年期障碍的最佳食品,因为石榴中所含的雌激素有助于帮女性克服更年期障碍。
对皮肤有50年研究实践经验的中国中南大学附属医院皮肤科张运昌教授指出,皮肤虽能通过营养性护肤品等吸收少量氨基酸、维生素等营养物质,但这是微不足道的,重要的是靠从体内摄取营养物质而维持其正常的生理功能。以皮肤皱纹为例,皮肤表皮层之下的真皮层是决定皮肤结构完整性、弹性及顺应性的一层,皱纹的产生与加深即在这一层中,所以,抗皱只有深入到真皮层才可能有效。通常的胶原和弹性蛋白护肤品无法在真皮层中起作用,因为胶原和弹性蛋白分子过大,不能进入真皮层。
保证皮肤营养的供给,除了膳食尽量做到科学合理,避免不健康膳食以外,更应该每天补充对抗皮肤衰老的抗衰老食品。皮肤是怎么衰老的呢?这要从自由基说起。虽然氧是维持生命存在不可缺少的物质,但氧在体内的代谢过程中也会带来“副产品”。当氧原子失去一个电子,就变成了自由基,自由基因失去一个电子,就会变得极不稳定,疯狂地自由行走于体内、肌肤,攻击并抢夺人体内和肌肤外的其他化合物的电子,而且也无选择性地攻击蛋白质、酶、细胞膜、细胞及组织。例如,一个自由基抢夺了DNA分子的一个电子,DNA将遭到破坏。被破坏的DNA分子在复制过程中不断地复制出有缺陷的DNA,导致细胞变异机体老化,从而产生肌肤衰老、皱纹、色斑、松弛,免疫系统衰退及全身性老化现象。这一系列的现象就是自由基引起的氧化,因此,抗衰老就是抗自由基就是抗氧化。衰老的过程其实就是有机体的氧化过程,它像一盏点亮的油灯,当氧化进行得快,灯油消耗就快。
法国人的皮肤是白种人中最细腻的,法国人的肥胖指数也远低于其他发达国家,法国人健康美丽的奥秘早已被揭开,那就是法国人经常饮用的红葡萄酒——红葡萄酒中含有一种叫葡萄多酚的抗氧化物质。最新的科学研究证实,石榴汁是所有常见饮品中抗氧化能力最强的果汁!石榴汁的多酚含量比红葡萄酒、绿茶等要高多三倍以上,它才是抗衰老的超级明星!
石榴的传说和药用
石榴的原产地是古波斯,也就是现在的伊朗。在伊朗,石榴还被认为是能够净化污浊血液的果实。伊斯兰中的先知穆罕默德曾建议追随者食用石榴,因为石榴可以帮助他们祛除不必要的羡慕和仇恨。
中国医学也认为石榴有净化血液的作用。中国的古书上,石榴的正名是安石榴。这是因为,石榴是从西域安石国在汉武帝时传入中国的。关于石榴传入中国,还有一个美丽的传说呐。
汉武帝时候,张骞出使西域, 住在安石国的宾馆里, 宾馆门口一株花红似的小树, 张骞非常喜爱, 但从没见过, 不知道是什么树, 园丁告诉他是石榴树, 张骞一有空闲就要站在石榴树旁欣赏石榴花, 后来, 天大旱, 石榴花叶日渐枯萎, 于是张骞就担水浇那棵石榴树。 石榴树张骞的灌浇下, 叶也返绿了, 花也伸展了。
张骞在安石国办完公事, 就要回国的那天夜里, 正在屋里画通往西域的地图。 忽见一个红衣绿裙的女子推门而入, 飘飘然来到跟前, 施了礼说: “听说您明天就要回国了, 奴愿跟您同去中原。” 张骞大吃一惊, 心想准是安石国哪位使女要跟他逃走, 身在异国, 又身为汉使, 怎可惹此是非, 于是正颜厉色说: “夜半私入, 口出不逊, 出去出去, 快些出去了!” 那女子见张骞撵她, 怯生生地走了。
第二天, 张骞回国时, 安石国赠金他不要, 赠银他不收, 单要宾馆门口那棵石榴树。 他说: “我们中原什么都有, 就是没有石榴树, 我想把宾馆门口那棵石榴树起回去, 移植中原, 也好做个纪念。” 安石国国王答应了张骞的请求, 就派人起出了那棵石榴树, 同满朝文武百官给张骞送行。
张骞一行人在回来的路上, 不幸被匈奴人拦截, 当杀出重围时, 却把那棵石榴树失落了。 人马回到长安, 汉武帝率领百官出城迎接。 正在此时, 忽听后边有一女子在喊: “天朝使臣, 叫俺赶得好苦啊!” 张骞回头看时, 正是在安石国宾馆里见到的那个女子, 只见她披头散发, 气喘吁吁, 白玉般的脸蛋上挂着两行泪水。 张骞一陈惊异, 忙说道: “你为何不在安石国, 要千里迢迢来追我?” 那女子垂泪说道: “路途被劫, 奴不愿离弃天使, 就一路追来, 以报昔日浇灌活命之恩。” 她说罢扑地跪下, 立刻不见了。 就在她跪下去的地方, 出现了一棵石榴树, 叶绿欲滴, 花红似火。 汉武帝和众百官一见无不惊奇, 张骞这才明白了是怎么回事, 就给武帝讲述了在安石国浇灌石榴树的前情。 汉武帝一听, 非常喜悦, 忙命武士刨起出, 移植御花园。 从此,中原就有了石榴树。
“榴者, 天下之奇树, 九洲之名果”, “华实并丽, 滋味亦殊。 商秋受气, 收华敛实, 千房同蒂, 千子如一。 缤纷磊落, 垂光耀质, 滋味浸液, 馨香流溢。” 这是晋代渊岳《安石榴赋》中的一段文字。 它以生花妙笔, 把石榴花果的生姿生态, 色味香形写得千媚百态, 美不胜收。 从此,我们也可以看出,很久以前,中国人已经把石榴作为子孙满堂的象征。
石榴果实中含有机酸、维生素C和B均较丰富, 此外尚有蛋白质、 脂肪以及钙、 磷、 钾等矿物质。 石榴的果实、 果皮、 根及花均可作药。 药用果实多用味酸者, 有涩肠止血之功。 果皮含鞣质、 生物碱及熊果酸等, 有明显的收敛和抑菌作用, 为强力的治痢疾药。 根皮含石榴皮碱, 为驱虫要药, 用于治疗肾结石、糖尿病、乳糜尿也有效。 花可止血, 还用以泡水洗眼, 有明目效能。 另外石榴子油还有雌性激素样作用 -- 这真还是石榴象征多子的科学根据!
石榴作为药用, 有悠久的历史, 各种古医籍均有记载。 历代医家经过临床实践,认为石榴性凉, 有清热、解毒、健胃、润肺、涩肠、止血等功效。 其中, 药用最多的是石榴皮, 多炒后应用。石榴花, 有止鼻阻、吐血及外伤出血的作用, 亦可治自带过多。 外用则可治中耳炎。 石榴嫩叶健胃理肠、消食积、助消化, 外用可治疗眼疾和皮肤病。 现代医学研究认为, 石榴皮内含有“石榴根皮碱", 对各种杆菌和皮肤其菌都有抑制作用。酸石榴含有较多的蹂质, 有收敛杀菌效果, 可治腹泻、荆疾, 并可开胃口、助消化。石榴树的根皮, 有鞍质, 有驱除综虫和蛔虫作用。
一下是几个民间所用的偏方:
1.口臭、口腔炎:石榴1个,剥皮取子,捣烂加水煎汁,含后咽下,日数次。
2.脱脏:石榴皮30克,明矶15克,水煎,洗患处。
3.中耳炎:石榴花,熔干,加冰片少许,研细末,吹耳内。
4.久泻久病:陈石榴皮,熔干研为细末,每次服10克,米汤送服,1 日2次。
5.肾结石:石榴根皮、金钱草各30克,水煎服。
6.烫火伤:石榴皮适量,研细末,与芝麻油调均,涂患处。
7.外伤出血:干石榴花、白菜等份,晒干研末,敷伤口,外用敷料压迫即可。
8.湿彦、癖子:鲜石榴嫩叶,水煎,洗,患处。
西方人对石榴的认识也一样古老。在圣经中,石榴被多次提及作为美丽和神圣的象征。英国的三个主要医疗协会 Royal College of Midwives, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Royal College of Physicians, 会徽上全都有用石榴作装饰。也许,这正是西方对石榴医疗作用的认知。
现代医学近几年才展开对石榴的研究,结果却令人喜出望外:石榴含有大量的抗氧化物及人体所需的微元素如钾。这些物质有助于降低胆固醇及高血压。 一些研究显示,每天饮用两杯石榴汁,半个月后,血管内的垢积物明显减少。高血压和高胆固醇是心血管疾病如中风的前兆。
正因如此,石榴正成为健康饮食的新宠儿。
Mythical | Magical | Miracle Pomegranate Power!
What’s in it for you?
Pomegranate? It sounds so last year! But then, it is still the fruit that has shown again and again to have promising abilities! Let’s not forget what has been discovered already:
- Pomegranates are packed with rich, antioxidants, especially within its skin and seeds.
- Pomegranate juice is shown to be good for the prostate, heart, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis and even breast health concerns
- Pomegranate juice is good for man’s power and woman’s skin!
- Only PomeFresh Pomegranate Juice is juiced with the WHOLE fruit therefore all the nutrients are retained in the juice
Some Biblical theorists have suggested that it was not an apple Eve offered to Adam in the Garden of Eden, but a pomegranate! In many cultures, the pomegranate is a symbol of fertility. If the population of the world today is any kind of indication of the fertility power of the pomegranate, this theory could very well be true!
Legends have made the pomegranate a mystical fruit with magical but untold powers. Many members may not have noticed that The British Medical Association and three royal colleges, the Royal College of Midwives, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Royal College of Physicians, all feature the pomegranate in their crests.
It is no wonder, therefore, that the power of the pomegranate has finally caught the attention of modern scientists. Various studies have been done on it from all over the world. It has been commonly recognized that pomegranate fruit and juice are packed with antioxidants—the agents the body uses to protect itself against cell damage. Good natural sources of antioxidants include red wine, tomatoes, green tea, and blueberries, but now scientists believe that pomegranates, which are a rich source of antioxidant compound called polyphenols, could be even better. Researchers have pinpointed a few direct benefits of pomegranate intake.

Not All Carbs Makes one Fat; Good Carbs Takes out Fats
Carbohydrates or carbs are almost seen as a ‘dirty’ word for the health-conscious people. Fortunately, this is not true. We need carbohydrates to survive or live healthily.
Unfortunately, many don’t know that there are different types of carbs. The types of carbs you consume make a lot differences! In fact, most people do not consume enough of certain types of carbs, such as dietary fibre in their diet. The lack of it is the real culprit for many health issues such as diabetes and obesity.
Carbs is the most readily available nutrient for our body as it is converted to glucose quickly so that it can be used by the body to carry out its activities. The downside of this nutrient (as compared to others such as protein and fat) is that they can’t be stored in the body for long. Unused glucose drives up blood sugar level which is then converted into fats. High blood sugar level becomes detrimental when our body is unable to regulate it - that’s how diabetes is developed.
Besides medication, what can a diabetic person do to minimize complications from diabetes?
The answer is to take the right food. Food, carbohydrates in particular, plays a decisive role in managing diabetes risks. Being overweight increases the risk of a person becoming diabetic by multi-folds. You don’t want to eat too much carbs and have them converted into fats that deface your waist. If you are already diabetic or are concerned about having elevated blood sugar level, you want to take the right food that helps to stablise your blood sugar level.
Take the right food that contains carbohydrates which don’t get converted into fats in your body.
We bring you a special meal that contains limited carbohydrates. It comes with a fibre complex coupled with rich Antioxidants, Omega-3 and minerals. In fact, this meal has the precise proportion of all these nutrients that can deliver an impact that is much bigger than their sun.
