Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!! 

After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven 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. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

1.    Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst 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.

2.    PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

3.    Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

4.    Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it 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.

5.    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 brainpower. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

6.    Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

7.    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.

8.    Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

9.    Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

10. 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.

11. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

12. Overweight and pressure 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

16. Smoking & Tobacco Use: 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.

17. 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 rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

18. 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 stroke by as much as 40%!

19. 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!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many illnesses. 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. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one more here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. An amazing fruit! But Mac, don’t you get any wrong idea here!

Removing Gallstones in a Natural Way

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY



by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the good news. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone. Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they should be because we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. "Cancer is never the first illness," Chiu Nan points out. "Usually, there are a lot of other problems leading to cancer.


In my research in China , I came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a matter of big or small, many or few.


One of the symp tom s of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a heavy meal.. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious, you feel pain in the liver area." So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan offers the following method to remove them naturally.
The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.


Regiment:


1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.


2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.


3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.


4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.


5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage.


PS. 1cup=250ml, ? cup lemon juice=3 lemons (aprox.)


The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had people who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many."

"Even if you don't have any symp tom s of gallstones, you still might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.

Seven Benefits of Coconut Water
By Tommy Fassbender on April 20th, 2008

Coconut water is the purest liquid second only to water itself. It has many health benefits and uses that you probably did not know about.

Many persons have gone to the Caribbean, the Pacific Islands , Florida , Hawaii , South America or Southern Asia and have tasted some very refreshing coconut water. The palm trees you have become accustomed to while on vacation are very potent sources of coconut water that has many health benefits and uses that you probably did not know about.

Coconut water is the purest liquid second only to water itself. It is chock full of electrolytes, calcium, potassium, magnesium; everything that is good for you.

Coconut water is the liquid that is taken from unripe coconuts. If coconuts get ripe the liquid that is inside will harden and become a part of the white flesh of the coconut, which is used to make coconut milk. So, picking the coconut while it is unripe will ensure that the body gets all the benefits of coconut water.

Coconut Water Hydrates the Body
Coconut water is an isotonic solution which replaces the fluids and minerals that the body loses during physical activities. For this reason, many athletes and persons who work out regularly are encouraged to drink coconut water to replace all the minerals and fluid that they lose while working out. Even the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) attest to the benefits of drinking coconut water when it fought for a patent in 2000 to market coconut water as the next big sports drinks.

Coconut Water Relieves Urinary Problems
If you consume coconut water on a regular basis it can reduce urinary problems. People who suffer from strangury, polyutra and other urinary ailments drink coconut water to relieve their symptoms

Coconut Water Kills Intestinal Worms
Drinking coconut waterone teaspoon of olive oilthree days will kill intestinal worms and clear the stomach of worms, which makes for better digestion.

Coconut Water Breaks up Kidney Stones
People who have kidney problems and are plagued by kidney stones should drink coconut water in addition to taking their medication.

Drinking coconut water regularly helps to break up kidney stones making them easier to push out.

Coconut Water is Used in Blood Transfusion
Coconut water is almost identical to blood plasma and this makes it easy to use for blood transfusion. In cases of emergency coconut water has been used as an intravenous hydration fluid instead of the standard IV fluid. During World War II many wounded soldiers were saved in the Pacific because of emergency transfusion using coconut water as plasma.

Coconut Water is an Antibacterial
Coconut water contains monolaurin, an antiviral, antibacterial and antiprozoal monoglyceride that is used to kill lipid-coated viruses such as HIV, Herpes, cytomegalovirus, flu and various pathogenic bacteria.

Coconut Water Controls Vomiting
Coconut water is great at reducing vomiting. People who have typhoid, malaria, fevers or other ailments that are known to induce vomiting drink coconut water to settle the stomach. As such, coconut water is also a good thing to drink during a hangover.

Green or unripe coconuts can be found in Asian and West Indian markets. All coconuts that they sell are closed up to keep coconut water from losing its nutrients. So, if you plan on buying a coconut, you can ask someone to chop the coconut open or you can open it yourself at home and drink it.

Why am I (5 years in UK) posting this article?

Wife is a TKCIan (was in UK for 4.75 years). Daughter (still in UK - 8 years!) is a TKCian. An active member of TKC PIBG for 3 years. Biggest achievement: mooted the idea of inviting the then PM, Tun Mahathir, and wife to special dinner to raise fund and it did materialise. At the same event, the then PM stopped by to speak to my daughter on his way out of the hotel ballroom ... Ohhh yang ni yang dok menari tadi ... apaa diaaa yang kat kepalaaa tu ...

First anniversary of TKC OGA UK Chapter

I TOOK a deep breath, counted to 10 and let it out: Yes, I had wanted to be a TKC (Tunku Kurshiah College) girl but I didn’t quite make it.So, there!

It had taken me well over 40 years, since failing the test in Primary Six, to say that. Well over 40 years and the closest I got to being a TKCian was as a guest at one of the mini reunions of the Tunku Kurshiah College Old Girls Association (OGA) UK Chapter recently. That was an opportunity to find out what made a TKCian tick and what gave her that unexplainable je ne sais quoi that separated her from the rest. And perhaps, if I were to be honest, to find out what was it that TKCians had that I lacked. So with a crumpled letter of rejection, a few tears of dejection at the thought of being denied the chance to study at one of the country’s most prestigious boarding schools for girls, I continued to be a Convent girl, a SAHC girl and much later, a Mass Comm girl in the 13th floor of the then ITM. I am proud of all my alma maters but I need to know why I wasn’t good enough for TKC. This unanswered question, and another (why I wasn’t chosen to be a MAS stewardess), are important especially when you are stocktaking.

As someone who grew up overdosed on Enid Blyton’s unputdownable books, especially Mallory Towers, I had romantic notions of life on boarding schools. Pranks after lights-out, skipping classes and solving mysteries loomed large in my mind while preps and homeworks featured very little indeed.

Somewhere along the way between the rejection letter and the mini reunion, I was reminded again about my alma mater that wasn’t. It was in the early 90s when we visited Anuga, the international foodfair in Cologne. Walking around, looking at foodstuffs from around the world, we were delighted to find Ahmad Tea, as it was (and still is) our staple drink. So we stopped to talk to the man in charge who happened to be the man behind Ahmad Tea, an Iranian married to a Malaysian and living in the UK.

My heart leapt with excitement. A fellow Malaysian married to the manufacturer of one of the world’s famous tea brands! “Is she working?” asked my husband, quite unnecessarily.
“What do you expect? She was a TKC girl!” came the reply that started me off on this journey to find out more about TKC girls.

It was to be almost 20 years that I came face to face with the woman beside the man behind Ahmad Tea. (It is inappropriate to say “the woman behind the man”, especially as she is a TKCian). This meeting and several others sort of answered my nagging questions.
At a mini reunion recently, Rose Karim Afshar, being a TKCian Class of 76 from Selindang Delima House, held court to other younger members such as Sri Rahayu and Idariah Idris.
So what made her leave almost 30 years ago? “Travel was my passion and I was told that the only way to get here was to apply for an engineering course. I was accepted and came here to do my A-levels.” Shortly after that, she met her husband and the rest was history.

From that answer alone, I knew where I had failed. At that age, I was still very much glued to my mother’s apron strings. Mak took me to my first temporary teaching job about 10 miles away and waited at the bus stop! Being independent then meant crossing the road to the shop in front of the house. And TKCians are articulate, stylish and have a go-for-it attitude which I personally saw and admired in the late Ruby Ahmad. Articulate is a word that I, who suffer from spoonerism, utter very carefully while style has no place in my scheme of things.

They are tireless and selfless, like Afizah Bani Hashim or popularly known as Pi Bani, a volunteer who provides moral and emotional support to People Living with HIV/AIDS. They dare to be different like Sepatu London girl Zetty Syazleen Ismail, who moved away from her comfort zone of architecture, to design and make shoes. TKC’s list of women of substance is quite impressive, starting with the wife of the Prime Minister, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Datuk Paduka Marina Mahathir, Datuk Rafiah Salim, Puan Seri Fauzah, Datuk Zuraida Atan and, oh so many more, who readily drop their impressive titles to be just Kak to their juniors. They grace the pages of society magazines such as Tatler and Prestige but think nothing of joining the younger ones for a game of volley ball during their regular meets.

They adopt a deep culture to excel and this means extensive networking with each other — email, Facebook and whatever else social networks have to offer.

The UK Chapter was initiated by Zuraida more than a year ago and since then, many potlucks and mini reunions have taken place.

Some, like Sharifah Hanizah, are married to ex-MCKK boys, who needless to say, enjoyed the competition TKCians had with girls from Tun Fatimah. Meetings become more exciting with each visiting alumni and stories about the Green Lady and climbing the roof get repeated and drowned by laughter.

These sound very much like stories from our reunions. We had toyol sessions, in which Fatimah Abu Bakar of Akademi Fantasia was an accomplice. And I think TKCian escapades, such as hiding in lorries leaving the compound, pale in comparison to our ride in a lift that was being repaired, right up to the 13th floor.

Why Drink Coconut Water?

Coconut Water contains organic compounds possessing healthy growth-promoting properties that have been known to help :

- Keep the body cool and at the proper temperature
- Orally re-hydrate your body; it is an all-natural isotonic beverage
- Carry nutrients and oxygen to cells
- Naturally replenish your body's fluids after exercising
- Raise your metabolism
- Promote weight-loss
- Boost your immune system
- Detoxify and fight viruses
- Cleanse your digestive tract
- Control diabetes
- Aid your body in fighting viruses that cause the flu, herpes, and AIDS

The English name coconut, first mentioned in English print in 1555, comes from Spanish and Portugese word coco, which means 'monkey face.' Spanish and Portugese explorers found a resemblance to a monkey's face in the three round indented markings or 'eyes' found at the base of the coconut. On the Nicobar Islands of the Indian Ocean , whole coconuts were used as currency for the purchace of goods until the early part of the twentieth century.

Coconuts are the fruit of the coconut palm, botanically known as cocos nucifera, with nucifera meaning 'nut-bearing.' The fruit-bearing palms are native to Malaysia , Polynesia and southern Asia, and are now also prolific in South America , India , the Pacific Islands , Hawaii and Florida . The light, fibrous husk allowed it to easily drift on the oceans to other areas to propagate. In Sanskrit, the coconut palm is known as kalpa vriksha, meaning 'tree which gives all that is necessary for living,' since nearly all parts of the tree can be used in some manner or another. The coconut itself has many food uses, including milk, meat, sugar and oil as well as functioning as its own dish and cup. The husk was also burned for fuel by natives, but today a seed fibre called coir is taken from the husk and used to make brushes, mats, fishnets, and rope. A very potent fermented toddy or drink is also made from the coconut palm's sap. Coconut oil, a saturated fat made from dried coconut meat, is used for commercial frying and in candies and margarines, as well as in non-edible products such as soaps and cosmetics.

Although it takes up to a year for coconuts to mature, the trees bloom up to thirteen times a year, so fruit is constantly forming yielding a continuous harvest year-round. An average harvest from one tree runs about 60 coconuts, with some trees yielding three times that amount. The coconut's name is a bit of a misnomer, since it is botanically classified as a drupe and not a nut.. It is the largest seed known.

If you've ever opened a fresh coconut, you will have seen the thin, opaque almost clear coconut juice or water which has a slight almond flavor. Contrary to popular belief, this is not the coconut milk. However, the water is consumed as a drink fresh from the coconut by many, and it can also be used in recipes.

Here is some information about Coconut Water http://www.rawguru.com/store/raw-food/organic_wild_young_coconuts.html

It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak.' In fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers.

Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.

* Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk - Less fat and NO cholesterol!
* Coconut Water is More Healthy than Orange Juice - Much lower calories
* Coconut Water is Better than processed baby milk- It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk
* Coconut water is naturally sterile -- Water permeates though the filtering husk!
* Coconut water is a universal donor-- Its identical to human blood plasma
* Coconut Water is a Natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level we have in our blood.
* Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV
