BAHAYA ROTI CANAI
Seorang sahabat saya yang mengambil kursus Sport Science dari UPM memberitahu sekiranya kita mula bekerja pada umur 20 tahun dan makan sebiji roti canai setiap hari, kita mungkin tidak akan hidup sehingga umur 55 tahun. Kenapa?
Sebiji roti canai mengandungi kalori sama dengan 5 KM berjogging. Maknanya sekiranya kita jogging sejauh 5 km, lepas tu kita sapu sebiji roti canai serupalah kita tak jogging langsung.Dah tu kadang-kadang sapu sampai 2 biji dan langsung tak jogging. Selain dari itu, terdapat so much oil in roti canai. Nak uli tepung, taruh minyak, nak canai, taruh minyak,nak goreng taruh minyak. Dah tu, minyak tukang roti pun masuk sekali (peluh dia).
Bila kita exercise, kita peluh. Penyakit keluar bersama peluh, itu pasal kita sihat bila berpeluh. Sekarang, kita makan tukang roti canai punya penyakit pulak. Lagi satu, jangan makan roti canai yang tukang buatnya pakai cincin sebelah kiri. Faham-faham ajelah. Sebagai alternatif, makanlah capati. Makan 8-10 keping capati sehari pun no problem, anda akan menjadi sihat dan kuat.
Nasi lemak pulak kandungan santannya tinggi. So cholesterolnya tinggi.Prof. Ungku Aziz ditanya apakah rahsia beliau sihat physical & minda pada umur 85. Dia cakap, dia tak makan atau jarang sekali makan nasi lemak seperti kebanyakkan orang Melayu.
As many of us are approaching 30 yrs old with some are already in 30s, we should be kind and gentle to our body. The least that we could do is to be moderate in everything we do and watch out on our food intake. Eat healthy food.
Breakfast - Heart Attack
For those who always skip breakfast, drink at least a glass of orange juice.stay healthy! :) You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast. Why?
Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00 a.m.and noon,with the highest incidence being between 8:00 a.m.and 10:00 a.m.
What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours? We may have an answer. Platelets, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or plaque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.
However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes.
Studies performed at MemorialUniversityin St.Johns,Newfoundlandfound that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk).
So if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice or six ounces of orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit.
This simple plan will keep your platelets from ticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps
head off a potential heart attack or stroke .
