Mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia L.)

Noni fruit grows abundantly in the land of Indonesia. This plant smells less pleasant but have many benefits for health, including:
Increase Endurance Body
Clinical investigations conducted by Dr. Schechter (Institute of Natural Medicine in California) yield important data about the ability of Noni juice, of which stimulate the production of T cells in the immune system (T cells play an important role in fighting the disease); strengthen the immune system, especially macrofaset and lymphocytes from white blood cells, showing anti-bacterial effect; have the effect of anti-pain / pain (analgesic); inhibits cell growth of pre-cancer / tumor that is the ability to normalize the function of abnormal cells.
Mona Harrison, MD of Boston University School of Medicine and medical director of the DC General Hospiial, USA reported that Noni increases the function of the thyroid gland and thymus gland, which is believed to act against infections and problems associated with the immune system.

Normalize Blood Pressure
According to Neil Solomon, MD.PhD, health problems of American researchers reported that the Noni fruit contains a type of phytonutrients, namely scopoletin which serves to widen the blood vessels that are narrowed. This causes the heart does not have to work too hard to pump blood, so blood pressure became normal.
The results of tests on animals showed that scopoletin lowers high blood pressure and normal to low (hypotension, abnormal). However, scopoletin contained in Noni fruit can interact synergistically with nutraceuticals (functional foods for treatment) to regulate high blood pressure became normal, but not lower blood pressure is already normal. Never found a case where the blood pressure down to normal resulting in low blood pressure (hypotension).
Experts from Stanford University, University of Hawaii, University of California (UCLA), Union College of London, University of Meets in France who has studied the Noni plant is agreed that the role lower blood pressure in many cases.
Simple clinical trial conducted by Scott Gerson, MD (from Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York) shows that many users Mengkudu reported that their blood pressure becomes high when stopped drinking Noni juice, and return to normal when taking Noni juice is regularly.
Against Tumor and Cancer
An interesting paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Association fin. Cancer Research 83rd in San Diego, California, 1992 is "Anti-tumor activity of Morinda citrifolia on Lewis Lung Carcinoma in the mouse injected." In this study, rats were given an injection of Lewis Lung Carcinoma (a type of cancer). All mice that did not get the care with Noni die within 9-12 days due to cancer. While rats treated with Noni able to survive 105 percent to 123 percent longer (40 percent of experimental mice live up to 50 days or more). The study was repeated several times and each time Mengkudu proven to significantly extend the life-aged rats exposed to cancer compared with rats not treated with Noni. In summary, the results of this study revealed that Noni can inhibit tumor growth.
A year later the journal Cancer Letters (vol.3, 1993) reported the discovery of anti-cancer agent / damnacanthal in the Noni extract capable of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
There are some cases of cancer patients who consumed Noni fruit juice and be cured, among other cases, patients of Dr.. Harrison (DC General Hospital), who suffered from liver cancer and stomach swelling caused by excess fluid. During the 7 days taking Noni juice, swelling in the stomach is reduced significantly. Haru stomach fluids testing showed that cancer cells have disappeared.
According to Drs. Judah Folkman of Harvard University, Noni works synergistically with other micronutrients in menghamhat blood flow to the tumor cells. The mechanism is similar to squalen oil (from shark liver) that control brain tumor growth and prolong experimental mice by destroying the means of circulation of the blood supply to the tumor cells.

Eliminate Pain
The ability of Noni fruit has been known as an analgesic agent in the history of traditional medicine, so this plant is called a "painkiller tree" or "headache tree". Scientific research has proven beneficial effects of Noni to cope with the pain. In 1990, researchers found a significant relationship between dose of Noni juice extract with analgesic activity mouses trial (generally, the more widely used, the analgesic effect will be stronger).
Many theories that explain how the mechanisms work Noni relieve pain. One is the theory of Dr.. Ralph Heinicke (renowned biochemist from the U.S.) who said that xeronine who play a role in relieving the pain. This is associated with the ability to normalize protein xeronine in abnormal cells, including cells of brain tissue, from which he came the pain.
Some cases of chronic pain such as headaches constantly, muscle soreness and joint pain nerves healed after taking Noni juice.

Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic
The compound scopoletin (hydroxy-methoxy-coumarin) is very effective as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic. Medical literature reported the successful treatment of arthritis, bursitis, car-pal tunnel syndrome and allergies by using scopoletin.
Bryant Bloss, MD, an orthopedist from Indiana, the U.S. reported the success of Noni juice cure back pain that caused also 15 people and patients. Meanwhile, the 8 patients reported knee pain (osteoarthritis) almost does not feel taking Noni juice. Three of his patients. Bloss who suffer from asthma progress with the reduction in cough. Some patients with arthritis also begins to experience the real progress after drinking Noni juice. She offers Noni juice as additional food / supplement, and not as a drug to the patient.

Anti-bacterial
Results of research journals published darn Pacific Science (vo1.4, 1950) reported that Noni contain antibacterial ingredients which can be used to tackle heart disease and digestive problems. Antraquinon that many compounds found in Noni roots turned out to be against Staphylococcus bacteria cause infections of the heart and the Shigella bacteria that cause dysentery.
Noni is antibacterial against: Bacillus subtilis, Escherichicr coli, Proteus morganii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella montevdleo, schotmuelleri Salmonella, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexnerii, Shigella paraciysenteriae BH und III-Z, Staphylococcus aureus.
Dr. Robert Young, microbiologist from Utah, USA find yeast molds and fungi with a toxic producted can diseased cells because the degree of acidity (pH) increases. By taking Noni juice, the situation can be overcome because Noni helps regulate the body's pH balance, thus increasing the ability of the body to absorb vitamins, minerals and proteins.

Set the Cycle of Moods (moods)
One of the capabilities possessed by seopoletin can bind to serotonin. According to Drs. Harrison (DC.General Hospital, USA) scopoletin peneal glands may increase the activity present in the brain, which is where serotonin is produced and then used to produce the hormone melatonin. Serotonin is an important substance in the granules of blood (platelets) lining the human gastrointestinal tract and brain.
In the brain, serotonin acts as neutrotrcrnsmitter, the signal conductor of advice and precursor of the hormone melatonin. Serotonin and melatonin helps regulate some of the body such as sleep, body temperature regulation, mood (mood), puberty and egg production cycle, hunger and sexual behavior. Lack of serotonin in the body can lead to migraine, dizziness, depression, and even Alzheimer's disease.

Set the Cycle Energy Body
Dr. Harrison also reported that the body's energy frequency changes are also caused by the positive activities of Noni juice. Effects, among others; can stabilize blood sugar, reduces menstrual pain time, reducing the desire to urinate at night for men who experience swelling of the prostate.
According to Drs. Heinicke (biochemist from the U.S.), xeronine also play a role in the process of the body's energy cycle. He explained the mechanism as follows, xeronine will be absorbed in the space adjacent to the absorption of endorphin and act as a precursor hormone (co-hormone) to activate the receptor protein that gives a good feeling / comfort. As a result, people will feel comfortable and have a lot of energy after taking Noni juice.

Key Benefits
Research on Noni continues to grow, both conducted by the physician and botanist and biochemist. The study focused on the chemical contained komponen-komponen/susunan Noni and its therapeutic effects against various diseases.
These studies show that Noni juice can stimulate the immune system, regulating cell function and regeneration of cells damaged tissue. The facts show that Noni can set the cells at the primary level and the tipping may explain why Noni can be used for a variety of health conditions.
Doctors in the United States already provides many reports of successful use of Noni juice to his patients. Dr. Richard Dicks (from New Jersey, USA) said, "we begin to realize that we must go back to the basics of our body. What is meant by metabolism in the body is burning nutrients. Noni juice protects the body by providing nutrients needed by the body. "

Additional efficacy-efficacy
Noni has a property, other properties that have not been proven medically, but the empirical has a lot of people who experienced health improvements and increased after eating fruit extract. Some health problems can be overcome by using Noni:
1. Digestive System: Flatulence, injury to the small intestine, stomach ulcers, vomiting and food poisoning.

9. Immune deficiency: Disease Epstein-Barr virus, chronic candidiasis, a disease caused by HIV infection, lack of energy (AES = Altered energy syndrome).

Why is one type of plant can cure so many diseases?

Scientific research shows that the constituents in fruit Mengkudui have the efficacy to stimulate the formation of immune response, cleanses the blood, regulate cell function, regeneration of damaged cells and inhibit tumor growth. Phytochemicals (chemicals found naturally in plants) has efficacy for the prevention of disease and is rich in antioxidant content. Noni has a very broad spectrum of phytochemicals, some of which are only found in Noni. The phytochemical phytochemical-synergy with each other to produce amazing healing properties.

Dr. Joseph Betz, chemical researchers from the FDA (Food and Drug Association) division of Natural Products Center For Good Safety and Applied Nutrition at the U.S. said that some experiments have shown that Noni juice can soothe muscle movement and have anti-allergic effects.

Red Onion (Allium cepa L)

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is often called a layman "diabetes", is a disorder that has the main characteristics of high levels of sugar in the blood. Diabetes means "flowing hold" because sufferers are always drinking and in large amounts, then flow continues to be a piss urine alias. While mellitus means "sweet", because the urine of patients containing glucose, aka blood sugar taste sweet.

IN essence, the DM is caused by the hormone insulin that people with insufficient or ineffective so it can not work normally. In fact, in normal individuals, insulin has a major role regulate blood sugar levels; approximately 60-120 mg / dl in the fasting state, and below 140 mg / dl at two hours after meals.

There are two categories of DM are most common, namely type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes type 1, DM diidap by 5-10 percent of patients, usually occurs in children or young adults. While type 2 diabetes, DM diidap by 90-95 percent of all diabetics, increased in number, especially in minority populations.

Diabetes is found in all populations and age groups, but the increase in the number of patients in the elderly group (elderly) and people are black, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian people.

The Congressionally-Established Diabetes Research Working Group (1999) reported that although deaths from diseases of cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular tended to decrease since 1988, the death rate from diabetes increased by about 30 percent. Life expectancy of people with diabetes on average 15 years shorter than people who do not suffer.

In Indonesia, especially in urban communities, a prominent diabetes disease classified as current.

Waspadji study in 1982 found that there are 1.7 percent of diabetics in Jakarta, and in 1992 rose to 5.7 percent. Epidemiological studies in Depok 2001-cooperation Perkeni (Society endocrinologist Indonesia) and the Ministry of Health, the number of diabetics get 6.2 percent. (Kompas, 5 November 2001). Most cases of diabetes found in Manado in Indonesia which reached 6.1 percent. (Kompas, May 29, 2002).

Based on the record of WHO in 1998, the number of diabetics in Indonesia was ranked the 6th largest in the world after India, China, Russia, Japan, and Brazil. The number of diabetics in Indonesia is expected to increase to 12 million in 2025. An increase of 250 percent of 5 million people in 1995 was due to the increasing elderly population and changes in lifestyle, ranging from the type of food consumed to reduced physical activity.

For centuries, more than 400 plants successfully identified as a "cure" diabetes. In Europe, Asia and the Middle East, raw red onion has long been a favorite choice of food to control blood sugar. In Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Santo Domingo, pariah has been used widely as a "cure" for diabetes traditional.

Recent studies show that consumption of foods high in fiber, particularly soluble fiber, may improve control of blood sugar in type 2 diabetics. The study was conducted by Dr. Manisha Chandalia and colleagues from the Department of Internal Medicine and Center for Human Nutrition, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, USA.

Efficacy of tolbutamide in the onion

Shallots have long occupied a prominent place in medical science as a "cure" diabetes. Modern studies show, the onion has a "strength" lowering blood sugar, and its hand at the levels found in food.

Indian researchers who conduct of onions, both in the form of juice and red onion "round" alias is still intact, amounting to 25-200 grams on the subject he studied, found that the more onion given, the greater the blood sugar is reduced. There was no difference between raw red onion and red onion that has been boiled.

According to the theory of the research team, red onion affect sugar metabolism in the liver, or metabolism of insulin release, and / or prevent the destruction of insulin. "Agent" who may have the ability to hypoglycemia, lower blood sugar levels, it is active allyl propyl disulfide and allicin. Experimental and clinical evidence suggests that allyl propyl disulfide lowers blood sugar by increasing the "lifetime" (lifespan) of insulin.

In fact, as late as 1923, scientists detected the presence of depressor blood sugar in the onions, and in the 1960s, researchers succeeded in isolating the antidiabetic compound from the onion that works similar to the common antidiabetic pharmaceutical drugs, known as tolbutamide, which is often used to reduces blood sugar levels. How it works is that tolbutamide stimulates insulin synthesis and expenditures. In guinea pigs, red onion extract showed, 77 percent as effective as standard dose of tolbutamide.

The results of other studies have shown, red onions have the effect of lowering blood sugar and fat. Therefore, it is recommended to add the red onion into every meal. Shallots can be used after a meal in free number.

Soluble fiber in natural foods

High levels of blood sugar is a major problem in diabetes. Research proves that the fibers have a strong effect on blood sugar control.

In a study conducted Chandalia et al, 13 type 2 diabetics are asked to follow two diets, each for six weeks. The first diet is a diet containing moderate amounts of fiber (24 g total fiber, 8 g of soluble fiber and 16 g insoluble fiber), as recommended American Diabetes Association. Meanwhile, the second diet is a diet high in fiber (50 g total fiber, each 25 g of soluble fiber and insoluble fiber) containing the composition of the fiber-laden natural food.

Both diets, prepared in research kitchens, containing macro nutrients and energy are the same (see Table). Chandalia et al then compared the effects of two diets to control blood sugar and blood fat levels.

The result? -Patients with diabetes who consumed 50 g total fiber per day, equal to 7 to 8 servings of fruits and vegetables, high fiber diet, aka blood sugar levels have a lower and more stable than the patient-diabetics who consume moderate fiber diet. High-fiber diet also lowered total blood cholesterol level of about 7 percent.

How exactly the mechanism of consumption of foods high in fiber can improve blood sugar control, is unclear. However, it is thought to be caused by a type of soluble fiber gum and pectin can slow gastric emptying, and even slow or decrease the absorption of blood sugar.

Studies Chandalia et al also indicate that the intake (intake) are high in soluble fiber may be accomplished by eating natural foods laden fibers. Diets high in fiber and less side effects were well received by the patient. Therefore, to increase fiber intake, people with diabetes are encouraged to eat natural foods as compared with preparations loaded fiber or fiber supplements.

Fiber-laden foods that are used for high-fiber diet in the study Chandalia and friends is a dish of fruit cocktail, fresh oranges, fresh pineapple, fresh papaya, peaches (peaches) fresh cherries, fresh tomatoes, corn, zucchini, green beans, whole-wheat bread, and oatmeal (oatmeal and oat bran). Fruits, especially oranges and pineapple, green beans, and oatmeal is a reliable source of soluble fiber.

Sprout (Phaseolus aureus)

Sprout

Sprout (Phaseolus aureus) is derived from vegetable shoots green beans or other biji2an, if the buds were still short tail, it is called sprouts. Vegetable sprouts are very rich in nutrients, every 100 g of sprouts contain 50 kcal of energy, various minerals calcium 32 mg, 235 mg potassium, 897 mg of iron, phosphorus 75 mg, 960 mg of zinc and other such senyawa2 160 mg folic acid, vitamin C 20 mg and 163 mg of vitamin B2.
Sprouts contain high nutritional value, inexpensive, and easily obtainable. Vegetables are formed through a process of germination of these beans were able to prevent various diseases, improve fertility, anti-cancer, premature aging, anti-flatulent and maintain healthy skin. Sprouts grown from seeds, such as green beans, which has a white section with a length of up to three centimeters. Bean sprouts form obtained after processing for several days. Sprouts is quite small compared with other types of vegetables, but so, these vegetables contain no small benefit.
There are so many benefits we derive from this very small plants, which are:
1. Preventing Cancer.
The process of germination has grown to decipher 90% of polysaccharide chains into simpler short-chain carbohydrates, so that the compound is easily absorbed by the body, without producing gas. Because they contain lots of fiber and water, sprouts help drain feces in the colon. This is a double strength sprouts in preventing cancer. By pushing the dirt to leave the colon, so there is no waste of the body in the digestive tract which can be reabsorbed by the body. And this will prevent rubbish piling bodies littering the intestinal flora.
Sprouts contain many compounds fitokimiawi efficacious. One is kanavanin (canavanine), the type of amino acid building blocks of arginine. Kanavanin, as reported in some studies, capable of disabling a trigger factor of the blood cancers leukemia, colon cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Sprouts also contain genestein. Work genistein effective when the cancer began to sprout seeds. Genestein is as anti-mutagenic, ie maintaining the authenticity of the gene. These genes exist in the mechanisms controlling cell division. If this mechanism is disturbed, then cell division will be out of control ... this is where genestein role in maintaining the authenticity of the gene.
Preventing Heart Attack and Stroke
The persons with the risk of stroke and heart attacks are caused due to blood lipid levels far exceed normal, they are encouraged to consume more beans. Therefore, the saponin contained in sprouts will help dissolve fat LDL / Low Density Lipoprotein (without disturbing the fat content of both HDL / High Density Lipoprotein). High levels of saponins can be obtained on the sprouts when the grain growth process is underway to sprout, in general this growth process will increase the levels of saponinnya to 450% (up 4.5-fold).
Saponin sprouts can also evoke the immune system, namely by increasing the activity of natural killer cells (natural killer cells), especially T-lymphocyte cells and interferon.
Besides loaded with DNA, the sprouts are rich in antioxidants that fortify the body from free radicals damaging cell DNA.
The existence of an ACE inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) caused conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II is inhibited. Low levels of angiotensin II, this is the role of prevention of hypertension. Therefore, patients with hypertension or who want to avoid the disease should consume lots of soy sprouts.
2. Prevent Osteoporosis
Natural estrogens contained in sprouts function similar to the hormone estrogen in the body. Can increase bone density, bone structure and prevent the rottenness of the bones (acts as an adhesive in the process of bone formation).
Vitamin E is contained in sprouts have a function, among others, to enhance fertility (fertility). That is why the couple who wanted to have children are strongly encouraged to eat sprouts.
Vitamin E deficiency in mice indicates the occurrence of reproductive disorders, such as miscarriage in pregnant female rats and swelling of the gonads in male rats (gonads are the factory of reproductive hormones in the body). Another function of vitamin E as an antioxidant that is essential for the body, among others, to prevent premature aging and skin rejuvenation (regeneration).
3. Eliminating the Causes of Abdominal Bloating
Abdominal bloating can occur as a result we are eating too many nuts that many compounds containing oligosaccharides. Excessive consumption of oligosaccharides causing flatulence symptoms, a condition of gas accumulated in the abdomen and stomach.
Oligosaccharides composed of components verbaskosa compounds, stakiosa, and raffinose. Oligosaccharides of the raffinose group can not be digested because mammals do not have the intestinal mucosa pencernanya enzymes (such as the enzyme alpha-galactosidase), so as not digested it is not absorbed by the body.
The bacteria found in the digestive tract (especially in the small intestine) will ferment raffinose while producing a variety of gases, like carbon dioxide, hydrogen disulfide (which makes wind-smelling stomach), and small amounts of methane gas. Tersebutlah gases that cause flatulence.
While not toxic, can result in serious flatulence. Increasing the gas pressure in the colon before the rectum can cause the pathological signs, such as abdominal bloating, feeling of obstruction, headache, dizziness, impaired concentration, or a little mental changes and edema. Flatulence can also result in the onset of nausea, bowel obstruction and constipation or diarrhea and even vice versa.
Some actions such as soaking beans in water, the process of germination, and fermentation into various refined products, can help prevent flatulence caused by oligosaccharides. Through germination, the content of oligosaccharides fall dramatically. Thus, eating sprouts will prevent flatulence.
4. Double the levels of Vitamin B and E
At the age of germination increased ability to synthesize vitamins.
In the world of herbs, vitamins participate in enzymatic reactions in both animals and humans. Therefore, animals and humans depend on plants as a supplier of vitamins.
Form sprouts have more vitamins than the form of seeds.
During the formation of sprouts, vitamin B levels increase 2.5 to 3 fold. Likewise, vitamin E, an increase of 24-230 mg per 100 grams of dry beans to be 117-662 mg per 100 g of sprouts. Vitamin C is not contained in soy beans, began to form on the first day berkecambahan up to 12 mg per 100 grams after 48 hours.
Peanuts and soybeans each containing folic acid as much as 2.8 and 2.3 micrograms per gram. Soybeans and peanuts will increase folic acid up to 72 hours of germination, but thereafter declined.
Green beans will increase until the age of folic acid germination of 36 hours, then declined. The function of folic acid is to prevent anemia, diarrhea, and sores in the stomach and intestines.
Increased vitamin B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), pyridoxine, biotin also occur during the process berkecambahan. Germination process also increases the amount of vitamin E (tocopherol) is real.
5. Other Benefits
Because alkaline (base), then the sprouts are very good for controlling gastric acidity and improve digestive tract. Sprouts as a "drug in" is also good for beauty, which helps rejuvenate and soften skin, remove black spots on the face, acne cure, nourish hair and lower blood fats in the body.
Because it contains Vitamin E, sprouts also help increase fertility and rejuvenate the skin. For women who often eat sprouts, will help avoid breast cancer, premenstrual disorders, pre-menopause and menopause disorders
So from now on, what's wrong to try to glance at plants around the house, do not depend on the synthetic drugs that contain many chemicals, as well as chemical drugs that cure diseases, but other diseases that come.
Never underestimate the small things, because who knows behind its small stored a huge benefit.
You can also make a delicious and healthy dish of sprouts.
Please mixing with other ingredients, to suit your taste. Let's live a healthy life with a low cost
with sprouts.
