6 langkah atasi Alzheimer

Kajian telah menunjukkan bahawa cara hidup boleh mempengaruhi risiko mendapat pelbagai penyakit, termasuk Alzheimer. Berikut adalah enam langkah yang boleh dipraktikkan untuk mengurangkan risiko Alzheimer.


1 Makan Epal

Epal segar menganduni banyak quercetin, sejenis anti-oksigen yang dapat mengatasi kerosakan sel otak disebabkan oleh radikal bebas.


2 Brokoli dan Sayuran Hijau

Satu kajian yang dijalankan di Boston menunjukkan warga emas berusia 50-85 tahun mempunyai kandungan folate tinggi di dalam darahnya kurang mendapat risiko percakapan yang kurang jelas dan tidak lancar. Folate boleh didapati daripada sayur-sayuran berdaun hijau seperti sawi, brokoli, kailan dan sebagainya.


3 Pengambilan Minyak Ikan

Asid docosahexaenoic (DHA) yang terkandung di dalam asid lemak Omega-3 mampu merangsang minda dan menguatkan ingatan. Omega-3 biasanya diperolehi daripada ikan salmon, tuna, sardin dan sebagainya. Ia juga boleh didapati daripada badam, walnut dan soya, namun kandungannya tidak sehebat kesan Omega-3 daripada minyak ikan.


4 Kawal Diet

Orang yang mempunyai berat badan berlebihan berisiko tinggi untuk mendapat Alzheimer. Ini kerana, kadar kolesterol yang tinggi menyebabkan lebih banyak mendapan terhasil dalam sel badan termasuk otak. Ia akan melemahkan fungsi otak.


5 Bersenam

Warga emas tidak semestinya melakukan senaman yang memerlukan banyak tenaga. Memadai hanya berjalan tiga hingga empat kilometer sehari sudah mampu menurunkan risiko dimentia.


6 Periksa Kandungan Kolesterol

Kandungan kolestero yang tinggi, tekanan darah tinggi, merokok dan diabetes bukan sahaja menjadi factor risiko sakit jantung, tetapi juga meningkatkan risiko dimentia (nyanyuk). Oleh itu, dapatkan pemeriksaan untuk memastikan segala factor risiko dapat diatasi sekaligus mengurangkan masalah dimentia.

Subject: A clip of someone in his final moments ( concentrate on the forehead )

Assalaamu Aleikum,

The attached is a clip of someone in his final moments. Please see the clip before reading on.........

The man seemed to have been blessed because he died in Allah's house and in His service. As he was a Muslim, may Allah bless him with His forgiveness, mercyand grant him paradise along with us and all other Muslims.

Did the man think that he would not return home alive that day/nightwhen he left home? Did he think that he would not finish his sermon when he started?Did he think that he would not finish his sentence when he starteduttering the last one?He seemed very fine and all of a sudden it started to happen! Allah made this man's last moments to be captured so that we can wake up and value the time we have, and more importantly to prepare for our own final moments that will come unannounced.

As we are in the month of Ramadhan, we should ask ourselves: Will we live to witness the next Ramadhan? Will we live to witness the end of this Ramadhan?Will we live to do what we keep postponing to do for our aakhera?

May Allah give us the determination to demonstrate to Him, with all the blessings given to us by Him, that we are worthy of His mercy before our turn comes to meet Him.May Allah accept what you are investing for your hereafter.

May Allah encourage you to invest even more and in a smarter way for your hereafter.May Allah multiply manifold the rewards of the investments for yourhereafter.May Allah unite us with His forgiveness, mercy and best of paradise inthe hereafter.

wallahu 'alam....

a banana a day keeps the doctor away....

This sound good...try to go bananas sometimes... BANANAS Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose - combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. A banana can help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must for our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan. Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine", eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%" Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! A banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. Soooooo.......... "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!" nota kaki: banyak khasiat pisang ni... tepatlah spt firman Allah : "Tidaklah Aku jadikan sesuatu itu dengan sia-sia." dlm Al-Quran pun ALLAH ada sebut buah pisang ni sebagai MAKANAN DI SYURGA.... Surah Al-Waaqi'ah ayat 29 [29] Dan pokok-pokok pisang yang tersusun rapi buahnya,

wallahu 'alam....
