We have discovered how this molecular process works," he added.<br /><br />The analysis of the study revealed that if heat over 40 degrees Celsius is applied to the skin near to where internal pain is felt, it switches on heat receptors located at the site of injury. These heat receptors in turn block the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain to be detected by the body.<br /><br />"The problem with heat is that it can only provide temporary relief. The focus of future research will continue to be the discovery and development of pain relief drugs that will block P2X3 pain receptors. Our research adds to a body of work showing that P2X3 receptors are key to the development of drugs that will alleviate debilitating internal pain," Dr King said.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23338210-115216557903829334?l=heryhm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Johan Setiawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06794356130518089966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23338210.post-1152166668478493462006-06-06T13:14:00.000+07:002006-07-06T13:17:48.480+07:00Eggs could protect against <strong>heart disease</strong>, <strong>cancer </strong>and <strong>eye problems</strong>, says a new study disapproving the assumption that eggs were bad for cholesterol levels.<br /><br />Bruce Griffin of the University of Surrey analysed 30 egg studies and found that people who consumed one or more eggs a day were at no more risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease than non-egg eaters, reported the online edition of Daily Mail.<br /><br />Egg yolks contain cholesterol, but nutritionists now know it is the saturated fats in food, not dietary cholesterol, that raises blood cholesterol levels, a risk factor for heart attacks. <br /><br /> <br />"To view eggs solely in terms of their dietary cholesterol content is to ignore the potential benefits of eggs on coronary risk factors, including obesity and diabetes," Griffin says, describing eggs as super food.<br /><br />One egg provides 13 essential nutrients, all in the yolks. It contains the nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin, which could help to prevent or even reverse the age-related eye problem macular degeneration (MD).<br /><br />Egg whites contain albumen, an important source of protein, and no fat, the researchers say.<br /><br />Eggs are an excellent source of B vitamins, which are needed for vital functions in the body, and also provide good quantities of vitamin A, essential for normal growth and development, the researchers said.<br /><br />An egg's vitamin E content protects against heart disease and some cancers; there's also vitamin D, which promotes mineral absorption and good bone health.<br /><br />Eggs are rich in iodine, for making thyroid hormones, and phosphorus, essential for healthy bones and teeth.<br /><br />Girls who eat an egg a day in their teens may give themselves additional protection against breast cancer in later life.<br /><br />It is the essential nutrients in eggs, such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals that may be responsible for this protection.<br /><br />Eggs are also low in calories - a large egg contains only 75 calories and 5 grams of fat - and other research suggests they can help you lose weight.<br /><br />Health experts used to recommend a maximum egg consumption of three a week to avoid a rise in blood cholesterol levels. But since evidence has shown that it is saturated fat intake that affects cholesterol, advice has changed.<br /><br />Now Britain's government's Foods Standards Agency (FSA) says there is no limit as long as they form part of a healthy, balanced diet.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23338210-115216666847849346?l=heryhm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Johan Setiawanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06794356130518089966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23338210.post-1141910888975070402006-03-09T20:26:00.000+07:002006-03-13T15:38:01.703+07:00Buah-buahan dan sayuran cegah efek penuaan<br /><br />Sayuran dan buah-buahan merupakan jenis makanan yang banyak memiliki manfaat bagi kesehatan karena mengandung nutrisi salah satunya adalah antioksidan. Menurut sebuah penelitian terbaru yang dipublikasikan dalam Journal of Neuroscience, salah satu manfaat antioksidan dari buah dan sayuran adalah mencegah efek penuaan.<br /><br />Seiring bertambahnya usia, tak terbantahkan semakin banyak kerusakan sel, tubuh akan mengalami banyak penurunan kemampuan baik fisik maupun mental. Karena itu membiasakan pola hidup sehat dengan mengkonsumsi buah-buahan dan sayuran menjadi amat penting untuk mencegah efek-efek penuaan seperti stres, kehilangan daya ingat.<br /><br />Hal ini didasari pada sebuah penelitian di Tufts University yang meneliti hubungan antara pola makan dan penyakit. Dalam penelitiannya, para peneliti memberi makan tikus yang memasukan esktrak blueberi, bayam dan wortel dalam pola makannya. Tikus-tikus yang diberi makan dengan pola makan tertentu ini memiliki kemampuan lebih baik dalam mengingat bagaiman melakukan latihan-latihan tertentu bila dibanding dengan tikus-tikus yang tidak diberi makanan khusus.<br /><br />Perlindungan terhadap efek penuaan menjadi amat penting meski demikian para ahli mengingatkan untuk tidak tergesa-gesa membeli ekstrak blueberi karena belum ada bukti ilmiah bahwa setiap nutrisi atau makanan tertentu dapat melindungi seseorang dari efek penuaan. Para ahli menyarankan untuk memanfaatkan keuntungan dari makanan nabati yang kaya phytochemical termasuk mengkonsumsi berbagai buah-buahan dan sayuran yang berwarna pekat.<br /><br />Sumber: <a title="http://www.vision.net.id/" href="http://www.vision.net.id/" target="_blank">www.vision.net.id</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23338210-114191088897507040?l=heryhm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hery HMnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23338210.post-1141910709764572072006-03-09T20:16:00.000+07:002006-03-13T15:24:49.936+07:00Kangkung Si Pengusir Racun ...<br /><br />Kangkung termasuk sayur yang sangat populer. Biasa dibuat tumis, cah, atau lalap. Kangkung ternyata juga berkhasiat sebagai antiracun dan bisa mengobati berbagai gangguan kesehatan. Tanaman kangkung berasal dari India, yang kemudian menyebar ke Malaysia, Birma, Indonesia, Cina Selatan, Australia, dan Afrika. Di Cina, sayuran ini dikenal sebagai weng cai. Di negara Eropa, kangkung biasa disebut swamp cabbage, water convovulus, atau water spinach.<br /><br />Bertha (36), ibu beranak dua, tinggal di Temanggung, Jawa Tengah, punya cerita. Suatu hari, saat sedang menyantap makanan, tiba-tiba ia merasa pusing, mual, mata berkunang-kunang. Keringat dinginpun bercucuran di sekujur tubuhnya. Ia langsung dilarikan ke puskesmas terdekat. Dokter puskesmas mendiagnosis, ia mengalami keracunan makanan.<br /><br />Untunglah Bertha teringat peristiwa keracunan yang dialami suaminya setahun lalu. Obat-obatan yang diberikan dokter urung diasupnya. Ia malah mengambil 500 gram akar, batang, dan daun kangkung. Kangkung yang telah dicuci bersih itu diblender dengan segelas air, lalu diminum. Setelah mengonsumsi 2 gelas jus kangkung, Bertha merasakan tubuhnya pulih kembali. Ia mengaku, resep ini secara tak sengaja ia dapatkan disebuah toko buku di Yogyakarta.<br /><br />Secara khusus Dr. Setiawan Dalimartha, Ketua II Perhimpunan Dokter Indonesia Pengembang Kesehatan Tradisional Timur (PDPKT), mengutarakan bahwa langkah yang dilakukan Bertha cukup tepat. Kangkung memang berfungsi sebagai penenang (sedatif) dan mampu membawa zat berkhasiat ke saluran pencernaan. Itulah sebabnya, tanaman ini mempunyai kemampuan menetralkan racun di tubuh.<br /><br />Kangkung banyak ditanam di Pulau Jawa, khususnya di Jawa Barat. DiKecamatan Muting Kabupaten Merauke, Papua, kangkung merupakan lumbung hidup sehari-hari. Di Kecamatan Darussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar, kangkung darat banyak ditanam penduduk untuk dikonsumsi sendiri maupun dijual ke pasar.<br /><br /><strong>Tumbuh Cepat </strong><br /><br />Kangkung termasuk suku Convolvulaceae atau keluarga kangkung-kangkungan. Merupakan tanaman yang tumbuh cepat dan memberikan hasil dalam waktu 4-6 minggu sejak dari benih. Terna semusim dengan panjang 30-50 cm ini merambat pada lumpur dan tempat-tempat yang basah seperti tepi kali, rawa-rawa, atau terapung di atas air. Biasa ditemukan di dataran rendah hingga 1.000 m di atas permukaan laut.<br /><br />Tanaman bernama Latin Ipomoea reptans ini terdiri dan dua varietas, yakni kangkung darat yang disebut kangkung cina dan kangkung air yang tumbuh secara alami di sawah, rawa, atau parit. Perbedaan antara kangkung darat dan kangkung air terletak pada warna bunga. Kangkung air berbunga putih kemerah-merahan, sedangkan kangkung darat bunga putih bersih.<br /><br />Perbedaan lainnya pada bentuk daun dan batang. Kangkung air berbatang dan berdaun lebih besar daripada kangkung darat. Warna batangnya juga bebeda. Kangkung air berbatang hijau, sedangkan kangkung darat putih kehijau-hijauan. Lainnya, kebiasaan berbiji. Kangkung darat lebih banyak bijinya daripada kangkung air itu sebabnya kangkung darat diperbanyak lewat biji, sedangkan kangkung air dengan stek pucuk batang.<br /><br /><strong>Mengandung Vitamin </strong><br /><br />Bagian tanaman kangkung yang paling penting adalah batang muda dan pucuknya sebagai bahan sayur-mayur. Menurut Dr. Setiawan, kangkung mempunyai rasa manis, tawar, sejuk. Sifat tanaman ini masuk ke dalam meridian usus dan lambung. Efek farmakologis tanaman ini sebagai antiracun (antitoksik), antiradang, peluruh kencing (diuretik), menghentikan perdarahan (hemostatik), sedatif (obat tidur). Kangkung juga bersifat menyejukkan dan menenangkan.<br /><br />Tanaman bernama daerah kangkueng (Sumatera), pang pung (Nusa Tenggara), kangko (Sulawesi), utangko (Maluku) ini enak rasanya dan memiliki kandungan gizi cukup tinggi. Selain vitamin A, B1, dan C, juga mengandung protein, kalsium, fosfor, besi, karoten, hentriakontan, sitosterol.<br /><br />Herminia de Guzman Ladion, pakar kesehatan dari Filipina, memasukkan kangkung dalam kelompok ââ'¬Å"tanaman penyembuh ajaibââ'¬â"¢. Dinegara itu, tanaman ini dipakai untuk menyembuhkan sembelit dan obat bagi mereka yang sedang melakukan diet. Akar kangkung juga berguna untuk mengobati penyakit wasir.<br /><br /><strong>Manfaat Lain Kangkung </strong><br /><br />1. Mengurangi haid<br /><br />Bahan: 1/2kg daun kangkung segar.
