Cooking with Oatmeal

A bowl of oatmeal is a highly nutritious breakfast dish. But you can get these same nutritional values when you add the oatmeal to other dishes.


You do not have to just eat your oatmeal as a hot breakfast cereal. You can add oatmeal to other foods to make wonderful main dish meals or delicious desserts.
Both old fashioned and quick cooking oats have many recipe uses. The old fashioned type gives a little more texture to cookies than does the quick cooking type, but either is acceptable in baked products. Rolled oats are a good substitute for bread or cracker crumbs in a meat loaf or beef patties. For quick and yeast breads, all purpose flour is needed to provide the gluten for structure, but rolled oats make an excellent contribution in flavor and texture.

LINGZHI MUSHROOM GREATNESS

Among the various foods and supplements that are believed to help cure cancer, the fungus is one of the favorites. Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) one of them. According to the book Herbal Medicine of China, written in 56 BC, the fungus it is listed as the number one drug ingredient from 365 other drug ingredients, including ginseng. Lingzhi into the category of “superior” because it can cure various diseases, able to maintain and restore the balance of the body, and safe for consumption in the long term without side effects.
There are many types of wood mushrooms. Some of them are good we eat at the table, such as ear mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, mushroom bites, and shiitake. But others do not, such as lingzhi and his friends from the genus Ganoderma.
Lingzhi can be grown in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. The place is growing trees old and rotten, or trees that have died. Shaped like an umbrella is not perfect, is relatively short-stemmed than the fruit body (umbrella) it is up to 30 cm in diameter. Form a half circle-like parasol kidney, with a thickness varying between 2-5 cm.
The main content of lingzhi are proteins, polysaccharides (ganodelan A, ganodelan B, and some types glukans), triterpenoid (ganodermik acid, ganodermadiol, and 110 other kinds) is a steroid hormone similar in structure, as well as germanium, ergosterol, coumarin, mannitol, alkaloids, acids unsaturated fat, adenosine, and various vitamins (B, C, D) and minerals (sodium, calcium, zinc, iron, phosphorus).
Broadly speaking there are six kinds of lingzhi are distinguished by color, namely red lingzhi (particularly efficacious for health problems related to heart organs and blood vessels), purple (for disorders related to joints), green (for liver), white (for the lungs and skin), yellow (for spleen), black (for kidney and brain).
Slightly fragrant red Lingzhi, the upper side shiny red umbrella, the more color to the edge of the young. White edges, as well as the bottom side. At first lingzhi fungus, also known as the reishi is soft and rubbery, but the older and louder.
Although each type has a major efficacy in organs different, in general all kinds of lingzhi function as adaptogens that normalize body function disturbances. Content of polysaccharides, germanium, reishi padha triterpenoid work against cancer by cleansing toxins, restore the cells become abnormal to normal cells, and serves as imunomodulator (generating immune) and Immunotherapy. May also prevent angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels in cancer cells) so that cancer cells can not spread.
His ability to improve blood circulation increases oxygen participate in the cell. High oxygen levels in the cell to make cancer cells die. Similarly, the ability to clean toxins, making the cancer cells lose the primary means to live and grow.
In addition to anticancer abilities, lingzhi is known to normalize blood pressure or low-high, to prevent stroke, antioxidants, antinyeri, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, allergy, reduce levels of fat, cholesterol, blood sugar, heal bronchitis, hepatitis, pressing the side effects of chemotherapy / radiation, and many more.
Ability to cure various diseases and health problems, not caused adaptogennya power, by normalizing all body functions are disturbed.
In the long history as a reliable medical herbs, have never reported any serious side effects, except mild side effects after long-term use-for example, six months-a bit dry feeling in the oral cavity and nasal cavity. These side effects disappeared immediately after use is stopped temporarily, and then forwarded again.
Bitter BUT BEAUTIFUL
No wonder China’s ancient medical books call this mushroom as the “mushroom god” and put it on the first rank among all drug ingredients known at the time (both from groups of animals, plants, or other materials). In addition, lingzhi safe for consumption by all people, adults and children, even pregnant women, either in healthy or sick condition.
To get optimum benefit from the efficacy of lingzhi, best boiled way. Lingzhi dry in the form of thin slices or as many as 5-10 grams of powder put in 3 cups boiling water. Then pan perebus closed, the fire reduced so that the water is not boiling anymore (but still quite hot) and left for two hours. Then cooled and taken on an empty stomach, along with vitamin C. It was bitter! To reduce the bitter taste, use honey or fruit juice, no sugar.
If you stand with a sense of bitterness, may also be cooked into soup, capjay, saute, botok, or others.
Another way is more practical is to make it a powder and then put it into capsules. In the form of powder, the recommended dose is 1-1.5 g / day. But keep in mind, lingzhi grow in the wild for months. Although the pharmacological better quality than the cultivated lingzhi, very risky to consume them directly without being processed first, because there are germs or bacteria attached.
Now that a lot of red lingzhi mushrooms sold freely in the form of capsules, tea, coffee, or the syrup is ready to drink. If you want to buy it, you should buy from manufacturers who have recognized its credibility, to get a quality lingzhi.

Turmeric Benefits for Cancer



Turmeric Benefits for CancerTuesday, 3 November 2009
British scientists are examining the efficacy of turmeric extract based contained in foods spicy curry. Initial allegations, the extract has the potential to kill cancer cells. No kidding, extract it worked on the first 24 hours after consumption. Such chemical-curcumin-has long been known to have the power to restore power and been tested as a treatment of arthritis and senility. Although still in the laboratory, tests by a team from the Cork Cancer Research Centre showed the destroyed curcumin on esophageal cancer cells. Several cancer experts said the findings published in the British Journal of Cancer that can help doctors find ways of treatment outside the medical model now. A member of the research team, Dr. Sharon McKenna, acknowledged that researchers have long known the potential of natural ingredients that heal the wrong cells, such as curcumin. UK doctors hope the findings of more advanced for the treatment of esophageal cancer. Each year about 7800 people in Britain diagnosed with throat cancer. Cancer type it into six major fatal cancers, or about 5 percent of deaths in the UK. From the standpoint of resources, Indonesia is one country with potential medicinal herbs abundant.
turmeric tradition of our ancestors indeed miraculous. I wonder what they thought of the past moving so they can say clever and cultured, including the matter of medicine and health. We are now more familiar with synthetic drugs than the drug from natural materials but it turns out nature has provided all the needs if we can process it. Recently produced research that is really complete line benefits of turmeric which has long been known health benefits. Herbs, the bitter yellow, the ugly this was his fate like a "beggar munggah bale °, its popularity is really going uphill after research results are publicized.
Team research collaboration between universities and research agencies in South Korea, proved in vitro by analysis of SPR (Surface plasmon resonance) and in vivo by analysis of APN-specific antibody competition, that one of the active compounds contained in turmeric, was able to restrain the rate of growth cancer.
Curcumin, the Lamanite
In an article titled "Antibacterial and Drug Turmeric Future" in Kompas Cyber ​​Media, rubric edition of Science Saturday, April 27, 2002, has described some of the major constituent of turmeric that is compositions of essential oils, furmerol, cineol, zingiberin, borneol, karvon, and curcumin. Apparently as assumed by previous scholars, curcumin (natural phenolic compounds), which has potential in cancer treatment. Own research involves the testing process known as' screening process approximately 3000 ° to the type of active compounds expected to inhibit cancer cell growth and eventually obtained the fact that the compound curcumin has cemopreventive activity. Curcumin is a phenolic derivative compounds isolated from plant rhizomes of turmeric (Curcuma longa). This compound has 2 clusters interconnected by vinilguaiacole the alpha chain of beta diceton.
The discovery of the wonders of curcumin is not separated from the more advanced medical world's understanding of the mechanisms of cancer cell growth. Although since the early 1990s has been known that curcumin indeed slow the growth of new cancer cells, but still little information about his role in the fight against cancer. Apparently the latest research results can be slightly ajar resist curcumin cancer process, namely by inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels. In cancer patients, generally begins with the process of spreading of cancer cells through the blood vessels (metastasis) and grow in any tissue into the tumor. Along with that, there is also a new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) spread towards the development of tumors. Angiogenesis is required by tumor cells as a channel provider of nutrients, oxygen and circulation of dirt in order to continue to grow and spread.
Working Mechanism of Curcumin
Mechanism of action of curcumin actually still can not be explained but apparently he can be bound by the enzyme aminopeptidase N (APN) and inhibit the activity of enzimatice. APN is an enzyme present in the membrane tissue in the body (known as zinc-dependent metalloproteinase) and is responsible for an giogenesis and tumor growth. A P N is a function to disassemble protein on the surface of tissue cells so that cancer cells can take over the position of cells and tissues had grown out of control. Provisional estimates, most likely an unsaturated bond (double bond), alpha and beta in the vicinity of ketone groups in curcumin to form covalent bonds with two amino acid nucleophiles present in the active site and can inhibit APN (inhibit) the activity is non-reversible (irreversible .)
Right now even the curcumin compound has entered the first phase of clinical trials for colon cancer resist. Although the results of this study also inspire scientists to mimic or modify the structure of curcumin, but the excess compound isolated from turmeric curcumin is its natural and likely have little adverse effects on cancer patients.
Prospects in Indonesia
Seeing the encouraging results of the research on the above of course we should not remain silent. Moreover, Indonesia has more variations of turmeric plants and is one of the world's largest producer of turmeric (production of approximately 12 tonnes / ha). If the present rulers countries was heavily patented technology many germaplasm originating from tropical countries like Indonesia, it is now time for us to take precautionary action. Of course, support from government and research particularly passionate about the natural ingredients are very big role in this
