FAIDA ZA KULA NYANYA

.

Nyanya huwa tunazichukuliwa kama mboga za majani, ingawa ni kiuhalisia ni tunda.
Nyanya ni chakula kizuri sana. Ni tamu ukila mbichi katika kachumbari au katika sandwiches, na zinakuwa na utamu wa aina yake zikiwa zimepikwa.

Nyanya chakula muhimu sana katika mlo wa watu wa Africa hususan hapa kwetu Tanzania Nyanya moja inakuwa na calorie 22, gramu 0 za mafuta, gramu 5 za wanga, gramu 1 za fiber, gramu 1 ya protini na miligramu 6 za sodium. Pia inatoa asilimia 40 ya vitamin C inayoshauriwa kula kwa siku, asilimia 20ya vitamin A, asilimia 2 ya chumba,  na asilimia moja ya calcium.

Zifuatazo ni faida za nyanya:
1.Kinga dhidi ya Saratani.
Tafiti mbalimbali zithibitisha kadiri watu wanavyokula nyanya nyingi ndivyo inasaidia kupunguza uwezekano wakupata saratani za mapafu, tumbo na kizazi. Kitu kinaitwa lycopene kinachofanya nyanya ionekane nyekundu kwa rangi inadhaniwa kuwa ndio sababu inanyoifanyanyanya iwe na uwezo huowa kinga.

Nyanya zilizopikwa ndio zina lycopene nyingi kuliko nyanya mbichi.
Mchakato wa kuzipika nyanya zinavunja vunja kuta za chembechembe hai ambako kunasaidia kutoka kwa lycopene. Ukila nyanya kwa vitu vyenye mafuta kama mafuta ya olive inasaidia lycopene kuingia vizuri mwilini.

2. Zinalinda Dhidi ya uharibifu wa DNA.
Nyanya uwingi wa antioxidants kama Vitamini C na Vitamin A. Vitamini hizi zinafanya kazi ya kulinda DNA dhidi ya kuharibiwa. Pia nyanya zinaweza kukusaidia kukukinga dhidi ya magonjwa yanakupata uzeeni kama kisukari.

3. Inapunguza Hatari Ya Ugonjwa Wa Moyo.
Nyanya zina virutubisho muhimu kama niacin, folate na vitamin B6 ambazo zinahusika na kupunguza uwezekano wakupata ugonjwa wa moyo.
Utafiti mmoja uligundua kuwa wanawake waliokula nyanya saba mpaka kwa wiki walikuwa na asilimia 29 pungufu za kupata ugonjwa wa moyo  ukilinganisha na wanawake waliokula pungufu.
Matokeo ya utafiti huu yalikuwa mazuri zaidi kwa wale wanawake waliokula nyanya na vyakula vyenye mafuta.

4. Zinakulinda dhidi ya thrombosis.
Thrombosis ni kuganda kwa damu katika mishipa (blood clots in the blood vessel). Utafiti unaonyesha kuwa ni muhimu kula nyanya zenye sodium kidogo kama unataka kujikinga dhidi ya thrombosis.

5. Kuzuia Kuvimba.
Utafiti unaonyesha kuwa kunywa glasi moja ya nyanya kwa siku kunasaidia kupunguza TNF-alpha kwa asilimia 34 katika damu. TNF-alpha inasababisha kuvimba mwili.
TNF-alpha nyingi hupatikana kwa watu wenye magonjwa sugu kama ugonjwa wa moyo, saratani, osteoporosis na Alzheimer’s.
Kula nyanya nyingi iwezekanavyo ilikupata afya njema.

Kwan nchi yetu ya Tanzania upatikanaji wa nyanya ni rahisi sana tena itakuwa vizuri kama katika kila mlo wako wa siku utakuwa unatengeneza kachumbari yenye mchanganyiko wenye nyanya nyingi.

Endelea kuwa na Afya Njema.

IJUE THAMANI YA ASALI, NI CHAKULA,UREMBO NA NI DAWA

Asali imekua sehem kubwa ya maisha yangu tangu nikiwa mtoto wa miaka kumi,baada ya mama yangu kuhamishia nguvu yake ya ujasiriamali kwenye ufungaji na uuzaji wa asali.Mama alitumia asali kufanya mambo mengi sana,na kama watoto tuliamini asali ni dawaya kila kitu.

Kama watoto tulikua sehem ya kazi ya mama,hivyo tulimsaidia pale alipotuitaji.Kwa  zaidi ya miaka 20 nimefanya kazi ya asali na mama yangu na nimejifunza mengi sana juu ya asali kutoka kwake.Asali ni chakula ambacho kimekuwepo kwa miaka mingi sana,Tangu enzi za mababu zetu ,na hata kabla ya kuja kwa YESU KRISTO.

Bibilia inathibitisha uwepo wa asali kabla ya kuja kwa YESU pale MUNGU alipowaaidi wana wa izraelinchi yenye maziwa na Asali.

Michoro iliyopatikana kwenye mapango ya watu wa kale.Uthibitisho kwamba walirina asali.

Nachagua kuamini kwamba Unaifaham asali.Asali ni chakula kitamu.kinachotengenezwa na nyukikwa kukusanya  nectar kutoka kwenye mauwa.Asali inaweza kaa miaka mingi sana bila kuharibika,asilimi kubwa ya wadudu waaribifu hawawezi kukua ndani ya asali kwani inakiasi kidogo sana cha maji  yaani 0.6(WATER ACTIVITY).Tone lolote la maji au mate linapoingia kwenye asali huongeza uwezakano wa kuaribika kwa asali hiyo na kufupisha maisha ya asali.

Kwa ufupi naweza sema maji ni adui mkubwa wa asali.Aina na ubora wa asali hutofautiana kutokana na aina ya nyuki walioitengeneza asali hiyo pomoja na aina ya maua ambayo nyuki wamenyonya nectar yake,rangi za asali pia hutofautiana kwa misingi hiyo hiyo.

Aina mbalimbali za asali.

Apa nchini Tanzania kuna aina kuu mbili za asali,asali ya nyuki wakubwa na asali ya nyuki wadogo.Asali ya nyuki wakubwa hupatikana kwa wingi zaidi kuliko yanyuko wadogo,Lakini asali ya nyuki wadogo huuzwa bei ghali zaidi ya asali ya nyuki wakubwa kwani ilithibitika kwamba asali ya nyuki wadogo inatengenezwa kutoka kwenye nectar ya mauwa ambayo miti yake inausali wa dawa.Miti hiyoni kama Mlonge,mwarubaini,rosellana mingine mingi.

Asali ni chakula kinacho tumika kwa mambo mengi sana,unaweza itumia badala ya sukari kwenye vinywaji,kuipakaa kwenye mkate,na kuitumia kama kionjo kwenye vyakula mapishi mbali mbali,pia hutumika kutengeneza urembo wa aina mbalimbali kama mafuta na sabuni na vingine vingi,liakini zaidi ya yote asali hutumika kama dawa.

Ni vyema kujua kwamba asali mbichi(ambayo haijapitishwa kwenye moto)ni nzuri kuliko ile iliyopitishwa kwenye moto,Kwani pale asali inapopitishwa kwenye moto baadhi ya enzymes hufa na virutubisho vingine hupotea.Mara nyingi asali hupitishwa kwenye moto ili kuiyeyusha hasa pale inapotakiwa kuchujwa.

ASALI KAMA DAWA.
Asali kama dawa inaweza kutibu matatizo mbalimbali,kumbuka tu tunaongelea asali ambayo haijachanganywa na kitu chochote.

For skin rashes, burns and abrasions.
Apply a small amount of raw honey lightly over the affected area; may cover with a dressing or a dusting of cornstarch to reduce any stickiness.The ultimate moisturizer.Smooth a small amount of raw honey lightly over the skin; easily remove later with splashes of cold water or comfortable warm water. Leaves skin baby soft.

As a bath and antibacterial soap.
Wash with raw honey straight from the jar and enjoy sparkling clean skin. Facial blemishes and acne caused by cosmetics or allergies will clear up quickly using a nightly treatment of RRH. A small amount needed.

For hair and scalp treatment.

Apply Really Raw Honey (with or without olive oil) to dry or damp hair about one half hour before washing–you’ll be amazed at your “crowning glory”.

For dental care and mouth sores.

Cleans teeth, mouth and dentures and stops bleeding gums. Canker sores, blisters and mouth ulcers respond to application of raw honey.

An astounding natural preservative.

Unprocessed honey found in ancient tombs was determined to be edible and was even used to preserve bodies.
Keeps foods fresh and moist longer and retards spoilage.

For healing ulcers and burns.

Also many years ago, a study by Robert Bloomfield,published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reports “Applied every2 to 3 days under a dry dressing, honey promotes healing of ulcers and burns better than any other local application.

It can also be applied to other surface wounds, including cuts and abrasions…”

Honey has anti-cancer properties.

Recent studies by Gribel and Pashinskii indicated that honey possessed moderate antitumor and pronounced anti-metastatic effects in five different strains of rat and mouse tumors.

Further more, honey potentiated the antitumor activity of chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide. — Gribel, N.V., and Pashinskii, V.G.Antitumor properties of honey. Vopr. Onkol., 36:704-709, 1990.C.V. Rao at the American Health Foundation in Valhalla, New York found caffeic acids in propolis are inhibitors of colon cancers in animals.

Other research shows hive products have the ability to preventand halt the spread of malignant diseases. Earlier research by M.T. Huang also published in Cancer Research found caffeic acids effective in inhibiting skin cancer tumors in mice.

Ushauri;
Ni vyema ukawa na asali nyumbani kwa ajili ya matumizi mbalimbali.Kwa matumizi ya asali kama dawa,nashauri asali mbichi ya nyuki wadogo.Najua ni ngumu kujuakama asali mbichi au imepitishwa kwenye moto,Hivyo nashauri utumie asali ya FANO 2010.

Asali za Fano 2010(Golden Lulu) Asali za FANO 2010 zinapatika Thanks God supermarket,eneo la sinza madukani.nashauri asali hii kwani ndio asali ninayotumia na ninakuhakikishia kuwa ni asali mbichi,na zaidi ya yote niliwai tembelea workshop ya FANO 2010 na kuona jinsi wanavyochuja asali,Ndio maana ninanguvu ya kushauri utumie asali hio.

ONYO.
Asali si nzuri kwa watoto wadogo wenye umri wa kati ya siku moja hadi miaka miwili,kwani wakati mwingine asali huwa na endosporeswa bacterium  clostridium botulinum.Endospores hizo  zinaweza kubadilika kua aina ya bacteria wanatoa sumu. Bacteria hawa hushambulia utumbo mwembamba wa mtoto ambao haujakomaa  na hivyo  huweza msababishia mtoto kuumwa na  hata kifo.Akina mama msikose chupa ya asalijikoni,kwani ajali za kuungua ni kawaida jikoni na asali ni dawa nzurisana,Ukiungua kitu cha kwanza kabisa pakaa asali nyingi kwenye eneo uliloungua.. Nimalizie kwa kusema.Asali ikichanganywa na dawa zingine za asili au viungo fulani pia huwa dawaya magojwa mengi zaidi.Naamini makala hii imekufumbua macho na kukufanya uithamini asali.

IJUE THAMANI YA KICHWA CHA SAMAKI-unaweza kipika hivi….

Supu/mchuzi wa Kichwa cha Sangara.

Moja kati ya mambo ninayoyapenda sana kuhusu my home town MWANZA  A.K.A. THE ROCK CITY ni Samaki.Samaki wanaopatikana ziwa Victoria wana sifa kubwa  sana kitaifa na kimataifa.

Ukiishi mikoa yakanda ya ziwa huwezi jua thamani ya samaki hao adi utoke nje ya mkoa uwakose kwa muda.Samaki wa maji baridi si kama wa maji chumvi,wanatofautiana ladha na zaidi ya yote wanatofautiana ainana wingi wa virutubisho.

Samaki  kwa ujumla ni chanzo kikubwa cha protini na madini mwili,samaki wa maji baridi wana Omega -3 na fatty acids kidogo ukilinganisha na samaki wa maji chumvi,ata ivyo samaki wa maji baridi ana protini nyingi na mafuta kidogo,pia anamadini mwili kama  calcium,madini chuma pamoja na manganese.

Samaki hutumika kama kitoweo kwachakula cha mchana na jioni kwa familia nyingi.Kwa wakazi wa maeneo ya ziwani samaki huliwa ataasubuhi kama kifungua kinywa kwani hupatikana kwa wingi katika maeneo hayo.Kichwa cha sangara kina sifa ya kutoa supu au mchuzi mzito,kina mafuta na kwa ujumla ni kitamu.

Kwa miaka mingi kumekua na imani iliyojengeka kwenye makabila ya kanda ya ziwa kwamba ukila kichwa cha samaki unakua na akili nyingi.Watu wengi sana hawakubaliani na imani hii ata kidogo na mara nyingi nimesikia watu wakiongelea vibaya au kutania juu ya imani hii.

Ukweli ni kwamba,imani yao ni ya kweli na inathibitika kisayansi.kichwa cha samaki hubeba asilimia kubwa ya madini na  mafuta mengi kuliko sehem yoyote ya samaki ,mafuta hayo hubeba  essential Fatty acids(Omega -3 na omega-6) na  madini mwili aina ya calcium,madini chuma,manganese.

Madini haya pamoja na assential fatty acids ni virutubisho muhim sana katika ujenzi na ukuaji kwa ubongo.kila kirutubisho kina  kazi yake maalum.Hivyo kwakua wakazi wa kanda ya ziwa hupata virutubisho hivyo kwa wingi basi ubongo wao hukua vizuri na kuwapa uwezo wa kua na akili zaidi.

Ni vyema kujua kwamba ukuaji wa Ubongo wa mtoto huwa katika kiwango cha juu kabisa ndani ya miaka miwili ya kwanza ya maisha ya mtoto,hata ivyo virutubisho hivi na vingine vingi huendelea kua muhim katika utendaji na ukuaji wakilasiku wa ubongo.

Kwa upande mwingine Akili hukua na kuongezeka sawasawa na akuavyo mtoto.kumbuka tu,endapo ubongo wake ulikua vizuri na unapata virutubisho muhim ili kuuwezesha kufanya kazi vizuri  basi akili yake huwa na uwezo wa kukua na kupanuka kwa haraka zaidi.niishie hapa nisijeingilia fani ya madaktari Nilipokwenda Mwanza kwa ajili ya christmass mwaka jana,sikufanya kosa,nilikula samaki kwa wingi,na nilianda,nikapika  na kula kichwa cha sangara kwa hamu sana.

Kuna namna na njia nyingi za kupika na kuanda kichwa cha samaki,na hii ni namna moja wapo.

Vipande vya sangara tayari kwa kupika.

Mahitaji:
*.Kichwa cha sangara.kipasue vipande
*.Maji
*.Nyanya
*.Kitunguu maji
*.Kitunguu swaumu
*.Limao au ndimu
*.chumvi

Njia.
1.Osha kichwa cha sangara vizuri,zingatia sana mashavu kwani hubeba uchafu mwingi

2.Weka samaki  ndani ya sufuria zito,kisha ongeza maji adi yafunike samaki na kuzidi kidogo.

3.kisha ongeza vitunguu maji,vitunguu swaumu,nyanya na chumvi kisha bandika jikoni vichemke kwa muda mrefu na kwa moto wa wastani.moto ukiwa mkali hutapata mchuzi au supu nzuri na wakati kinatokota kichwa kitameguka meguka.

4.Chemsha adi kiive,kisha ongeza limao kabla tu ya kuepua .kama ni kwa ajili ya mtoto usiongeze limao,ila mpe juice ya chungwa  baada ya kula mlo wenye samaki.Wingi wa supu au mchuzi ni chaguo la mpishi,kama unataka supu/mchuzi mwepesi  basi hakikisha umeweka maji mengi zaidi unapoanza kuchemsha,ni vyema upima maji ya kutosha unapoanza kuchemsha ili uepuke kuongeza maji baada ya kuchemka,maji ya nyongeza siku zote huaribu ladha na ubora wa supu na hata mchuzi.

Mambo ndio kama hivyo,Kichwa chasangara tayari kwa kula,unaweza ukanywa supu yake na kula kichwa bila kusindikiza na chakula kingine,na ukipenda unaweza kutumia kama mboga au kitoweo.

IPE FAMILIA YAKO CHAKULA BORA SI BORA CHAKULA.

IJUE THAMANI YA GILIGILIANI: KIUNGO, DAWA, UREMBO.

Giligiliani (majani)

Giligiliani ni kiungo cha kawaida sana,wengi tunakitumia jikoni kwenye mapishi mbalimbali,Kina harufu nzuri na ladha ya uchachu kwa mbali.

Majani na mbegu za giligiliani vyote hutumika kama viungo jikoni.Giligiliani inawingi wa Vitamini A, B6, C,B12,pia ina wingi wa madini chuma(iron),Calcium na MagnesiumGiligiliani inasifika kwakua dawa na kinga ya magonjwa mengi.

Historia inaonyesha kwamba Kiungo hiki kilitumika kama dawa tangu enzi za kale nchini Egypt.Hata hivyo,tafiti zakisayansi za karne hii ya 21 zinathibitisha taarifa hizi.

Giligiliani (Mbegu)

Ni vyema kujua kwamba tunaposema chakula Fulani ni dawa,basi maana yake ni kwamba chakula hicho kinavirutubisho Fulani ambavyo huweza kukabiliana na ugonjwa Fulani au laa kuupa mwili uwezo wa kukabiliana na kujikinga na ugonjwa Fulani na si vinginevyo.

Hizi ni baadhi ya faida za giligiliani katika afya:
1.Inawezesha usagaji mzuri wa chakula mwilini,hutuliza tumbo na huondoa gesi kwenye  utumbo mwembamba  ambayo mara nyingi husababishwa na vyakula tunavyokula hivyo hupunguza utoaji  gesi chafu (kunyampa) kwa kiasi kikubwa sana

2.Inazuia magojwa ya tumbo yasabaishwayo na bacteria aina ya Salmonella.moja ya magonjwa haya ni kuumwa tumbo na kuhara.

3.Inazuia Ugonjwa wa UTI.Yaani Urinary tract infection

4.Inazui kutapika na hali ya kuvurugika tumbo

5.Inaondoa gesi tumboni

6.Inashusha sukari kwenye damu.(lower blood sugar)

7.Inapunguza  cholesterol mbaya mwilini.

8.Chanzo kizuri cha nyuzi nyuzi zinazoitajika mwilini ili kuwezesha usagaji mzuri wa chakula (Dietary fiber)

9.Inawafaa sana wanawake ambao hupata hedhi nzito

10.Inaondoa maumivu,muwasho,na uvumbe (anti-inflammatory)

11.Huondoa chunusi na madoa kwenye ngozi Unaweza kuandaa giligiliani katika njia mbalimbali ili kuitumia kama dawa
*.Kuondoa hedhi nzito.
chemsha kijiko 1 cha chai cha mbegu za giligiliani na maji vikombe viwili.Chuja kisha ongeza sukari kidogo.Kunywa ikiwa yamoto au vuguvugu

*.Kuondoa maumivu (Inflamation)
chemsha kijiko kimoja cha chai cha mbegu za giligiliani zilizosagwa  na maji kikombe kimoja.Chuja kisha kunywa ikiwa vuguvugu

*.Kushusha sukari na kushusha cholesterol.

husaidia kuondoa au kutuliza asidi tumboni Matumizi ya mara kwa mara ya vyakula ambavyo ni tiba huupa mwili nafasi nzuri ya kuvuna virutubisho na kupata tiba ya magonjwa mbalimbali.

Ni vyema kujua kwamba asilimia kubwa ya vyakula na viungo tulivyonavyo majumbani ni tiba ya magonjwa mbalimbali. Madawa na Tiba nyingi za kisasa pia hutokana na mimea,virutubisho huvunwa kutoka kwenye mimea na vyakula na kuchanganywa na Kemikali ili kutoa vidonge na madawa ya magonjwA mbalimbali.

HERI TIBA CHAKULA KULIKO TIBA DAWA.

IMANI POTOFU KUHUSU AFYA YA KINYWA NA MENO

1.POTOFU:Kupiga mswaki mara nyingi na kwa nguvu huzuia kuoza kwa meno

UKWELI:Si mara ngapi unapiga mswaki na nguvu gani inatumika, suala ni unapigaje mswaki. Kupiga mswaki mara nyingi na kwa maguvu kunaweza kupelekea kukwangua sehemu ngumu ya nje ya jino, kulifanya laini na hatimaye kuuma au hata kuvunjika.

Kupiga mswaki marambili, taratibu na kwa njia sahihi ndicho kinachosaidia meno kuwa na afya

2.POTOFU:Huna haja ya kumuona tabibu wamenokama hujaona au kuhisi una tatizo la meno.

UKWELI:Kila mtu anatakiwa kumuona tabibu wa meno angalau mara mbili kwa mwaka bila kujali meno yake yanaonekana vizuri au imara kiasi gani.

Si meno yote yanayo onekana mazuri na imara ni mazima, mengine yanaweza kuwa yameoza katikamaeneo usiyoweza ona kama chini ya fizi na kwenye mizizi, si hivyo tu hata uoto mpya(neoplasm)uweza kugundulika mapema kabla ya kufanya uaribifu mkubwa kama utachunguzwa na wataalamu.

Kumbuka pia mangonjwa ya mifumo mingine kama ukimwi,kisukari na mengine mengi hujidhihirisha mapema kinywani kabla mgonjwa hajapata dalili zingine.

3.POTIFU:Usile kitu chochote unapo kwenda kung’oa jino

UKWELI:Njaa inaweza kukufanya uzirahi katika zoezi la kungoa jino, hofu ikichanganyika na sukari kidogo mwilini husababisha ubongo kushindwa kufanya kazi sawa sawa.

Imani hii potofu inahusishwa na sindano ya ganzi, watu wengi wanafikiri kila ganzi inatakiwa mtu awe hakula kwa muda fulani.

Hii kwa matibabu ya meno sio kweli kwani ganzi hutolewa kwenye eneo husika tu(local anaesthesia)hivyo haiathili mwili mzima.

4.POTOFU:Usitoe jino au kufanya matibabu ya mzizi wa jino kama una uvimbe hasa usaha

UKWELI:Kung’oa jino au matibabu ya mzizi wa jino yanasaidia kutoa nafasi/njia kwa usaha kutoka na hivyo kupona haraka pengine bila hata kuhitaji dawa(antibiotics).Yaweza kuwa kweli pale tu kama mgonjwa atukuwa na homa au hawezi fungua kinywa ambapo itabidi udhibiti homa kwanza, na kama ni kushindwa kufungua kinywa yabidi kuacha na kutibu kinacho mfanya ashindwe kufungua kinywa kwanza.

5.POTOFU:Mama mjamzito hastahili kutoa jino mpaka atakapo jifungua

UKWELI:Kumuacha mama mjamzito na maumivu pamoja na ugonjwa kwaweza kufanya ugonjwa kusambaa na kuingia kwenye ubongo hata kupelekea kifo cha mama na kiumbe chake. Pia maumivu makali yaweza kusababisha mimba kutoka.

6.POTOFU:Njia ya uhakika ya kutibu jino ni kuling’oa

UKWELI:Ziko njia nyingi na za uhakika za kutibu jino bila kungoa. Kung’oa jino kama tiba ni pale tu ambapo jino hilo haliwezi tibika kwa njia yeyote na kukaa kwake kwa weza kuleta madhara zaidi.

Kutoa jino huleta madhara mengine na meno bandia pamoja na kwamba hayawezi kurejesha kazi za meno yaliyotoka kwa kiwango halisi, lakini pia utunzaji wake ni mgumu na gharama pia. Hata hivyo kama umelazimika kupoteza meno basi meno bandia ndilo chaguo pekee.

7.POTOFU:Kuweka dawa ya kutuliza maumivu kama aspirini kwenye tobo kunasaidia kutoa maumivu.

UKWELI:Kama ilivyo kwa magonjwa mengine, kutuliza maumivu wakati kisababishi cha maumivu hakija shugulikiwa ni kulikuza tatizo kwa gharama.Mbali na hivyo dawa kama aspirini uunguza fizi zilizozunguka jino ulimoiweka, pia ulilainisha(weaken)na kufanya uotaji wake uwe mgumu kwani uvunjika vunjika hovyo hovyo

8.POTOFU:Kutoa jino husababisha kifo

UKWELI:Kuendelea kukaa na jino lililooza na halifai kuzibwa hufanya ugonjwa kusambaa na kusababisha kifo. Unaonekana kama ukweli pale tu mgonjwa anakuja hospitalini kutoa jino

9.POTOFU:Meno mazuri urithishwa(inherited)

UKWELI:Eti kwa vile tu mama au baba ana meno mazuri na mazima na wewe utakuwa hivyo au kinyume chake.

Urithi unachangia kiasi kidogo sana, utunzaji wa meno vizuri na kukutana na tabibu wa meno mara kwara ndio njia muhimu ya kuweka meno na kinywa chako sawa.

10.POTOFU:Hakuna haja ya kuhangaika na meno ya utotoni kwani yatatoka baada ya muda wake kufika

UKWELI:Meno ya utotoni yasipotunzwa vizuri yanaweza kusababisha kutoka/ kutolewa kabla ya muda wake na kupelekea meno ya ukubwani kuota kwa mpangilio usiopendeza, lakini pia katika kipindi cha mchanganyiko wa meno ya ukubwani na utotoni, meno ya utotoni yaliyooza yaweza ambukiza ya ukubwani.

11.POTOFU:Maumivu ya meno yatajiishia yenyewe baada ya muda.

UKWELI:Kama jino limeoza haliwezi pona kwa namna yoyote mpaka lipate tiba hata kama haliumi. Ukiendelea kulidharau ugonjwa unaweza kusambaa mpaka maeneo mengine kama ubongo, kifuani na hatimaye kusababisha kifo.

Angalizo:
Ni asilimia tano tu kati ya wagonjwa ambao tatizo la jino limesambaa hadi kwenye ubongo ndio huweza kupona..

MACHUNGWA,ZABIBU HUPUNGUZA UWEZEKANO WAKUPATA KIHARUSI

Utafiti mpya uliofanyika nchini Marekani umesema ya kwamba kula machungwa na zabibu kunaweza kupunguza uwezekano wa kupata kiharusi (Stroke).

Utafiti huo uliangalia faida za matunda chachu(Citrus Fruit)pekee kwa mara ya kwanza tofauti na tafiti nyingi ambazo tumezizoea zinazoangalia umuhimu wa matunda na mboga za majani kwa afya kiujumla.

Utafiti huu umehusisha maelfuya wanawake wanaoshiriki katika tafiti ya manesi Nurse’s Health Study lakini wataalamu wanaamini faida hizo za machungwa na zabibu pia zinapatikana kwa wanaume.

Timu ya watafiti katika chuo cha Norwich Medical School katika Chuo Kikuu cha East Anglia wamechunguza umuhimu wa kemikali aina yaflavonoids ambayo ni jamii ya antioxidant(kemikali zinauwa kemikali hatari za kwenye mwili) inayopatikana katika matunda, mboga za majani, chocolate nyeusi na wine nyekundu.

Utafiti huu ulifuatilia takwimu za miaka 14 za wanawake 69,222 ambao walikuwa wakishirki katika tafiti kwa kuandika kiwango chao cha kulamatunda na mboga za majani kwa kila kipindi cha miaka 4.

Timu hiyo ya utafiti iliangalia uhusiano wa aina sita yaflavonoids - flavanones, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, flavonoid polymers, flavonolsnaflavonesna hatari ya aina mbalimbali za kiharusi kama Ischaemic, Hemorrhagic na Total Stroke.

Ilionekna wanawake waliokula kiwango kikubwa cha flavanones kwenye matunda chachu walikuwa na asilimia 19 ya uwezekano wa kupunguza kiharusi kulinganisha na wanawake ambao walikula kiwango kidogocha matunda hayo.

Kiwango kikubwa cha flavanones kilikuwa 45mg kwa siku kulinganisha na kiwango kidogo cha 25mg kwa siku. Utafiti huu ulichapishwa katika jarida la Medical Journal Stroke umesema flavanones hupatikana kwa asilimia 82 kwenye machungwa na juisi ya machungwa na hupatikana kwa asilimia 14 kwenye zabibu na juisi ya zabibu.

Hata hivyo watafiti hao wamesema kwa wale wenye kusudio la kuongeza kiwango kikubwa cha flavanones itawalazimu kula tunda la chungwa kwa wingi na si juisi za machungwa zinazotengenezwa kiwandani kutokana na kiwango kikubwa cha sukari kinachopatikana katika juisi hizo za viwandani.

Professa Aedin Cassidy wa masuala ya lishe bora(nutrition)na ambaye alikuwa kiongozi wa utafiti huo amesema “kula kwa wingi kwa matunda, mboga za majani, na hasa Vitamin C uhusishwa na kupunguza uwezekano wa kupata kiharusi”.

Flavanones hutoa kinga dhidhi ya kiharusi kutokana na kuongeza ufanisi wa mishipa ya damu kwenye ubongo na kutokana na kuwa na uwezo wa kuzuia maambukizi mwilini (Anti-inflammatory effect).

Utafiti uliofanyika hapo awali ulionyesha ya kwamba ulaji wa matunda chachu na juisi yake na si matunda ya aina nyingine yoyote hupunguza uwezekano wa kupata kiharusi aina ya Ischaemic Strokena kuvuja damu kwenye ubongo(Intracerebral Haemorrhage).

Utafiti mwingine uliofanyika kipindi cha nyuma ulionyesha hakuna uhusiano wowote wa matunda ya njano na machungwa katika kupunguza uwezekano wa kupata kiharusi lakini ulionyesha ya kwamba kuna uhusiano wa zabibu na mapeasi wa kupunguza uwezekano wa kupata kiharusi.

Katika utafiti mwingine uliofanyika nchini Sweden umeonyesha ya kwamba wanawake ambao walikula kiwango kikubwa cha antioxidant karibia asilimia 50 kutoka kwenye matunda na mboga za majani, ni wachache tu kati yao waliopata kiharusi ikilinganishwa na wanawake ambao walikuwa na kiwango kidogo chaantioxidant.

Matokeo ya utafiti huu yasiwafanye watu kuacha kula matunda ya aina nyingine pamoja na mboga za majani kwani nayo yana faida kubwa katika mwili wa binadamu.Kupunguza uwezekano wa kupata kiharusi inawezekana kama mtu atakula lishe bora iliyo na virutubisho vyote muhimu, kula matunda na mboga za majani kwa wingi, kufanya mazoezi mara kwa mara, kupunguza kiwango cha ulaji chumvi (kwani watu wenye asili ya Kiafrika wana kiashiria cha asili kinachojulikana kama salt retention geneambacho hufanya kiwango kidogo cha matumizi ya chumvi mwilini kuonekana kama kiwango kikubwa na hivyo kuongeza hatari ya kupata kiharusi), kupunguza uzito (kuwa kwenye uzito unaotakikana kiafya kulingana na umri na urefu wako), kupunguza kiwango cha matumizi ya mafuta katika chakula, kulala masaa ya kutosha na kupunguza msongo wa mawazo.

BENEFITS OF CARROTS

1. Improved Vision Western culture's understanding of carrots being "good for the eyes" is one of the few we got right. Carrot sare rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the liver. Vitamin A is transformed in the retina, to rhodopsin, a purple pigment necessary for night vision.Beta-carotene has also been shown to protect against macular degeneration and senile cataracts. A study found that people who eat the most beta-carotene had 40 percent lower risk of macular degeneration than those who consumed little.


2. Cancer Prevention Studies have shown carrots reduce the risk of lung cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. Researchers have just discovered falcarinol and falcarindiol which they feel cause the anticancer properties.Falcarinol is a natural pesticide produced by the carrot that protects its roots from fungal diseases. Carrots are one of the only common sources of this compound. A study showed 1/3 lower cancer risk by carrot-eating mice.


3. Anti-AgingThe high level of beta-carotene actsas an antioxidant to cell damage done to the body through regular metabolism. It help slows down the aging of cells.


4. Healthy Glowing Skin(from the inside)Vitamin A and antioxidants protectsthe skin from sun damage. Deficiencies of vitamin A cause dryness to the skin, hair and nails. Vitamin A prevents premature wrinkling, acne, dry skin, pigmentation, blemishes, and uneven skin tone.


5. A Powerful Antiseptic Carrots are known by herbalists to prevent infection. They can be usedon cuts - shredded raw or boiled and mashed.


6. Beautiful Skin(from the outside)Carrots are used as an inexpensive and very convenient facial mask. Just mix grated carrot with a bit o fhoney. See the full recipe here:carrot face mask.


7. Prevent Heart Disease Studies show that diets high in carotenoids are associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Carrot shave not only beta-carotene but also alpha-carotene and lutein.The regular consumption of carrots also reduces cholesterol levels because the soluble fibers in carrots bind with bile acids.


8. Cleanse the Body Vitamin A assists the liver in flushing out the toxins from the body. It reduces the bile and fat in the liver. The fibers present in carrots help clean out the colon and hasten waste movement.


9. Healthy Teeth and Gums It's all in the crunch! Carrots clean your teeth and mouth. They scrape off plaque and food particles just like toothbrushes or toothpaste. Carrots stimulate gums and triggera lot of saliva, which being alkaline,balances out the acid-forming, cavity-forming bacteria. The minerals in carrots prevent tooth damage.


10. Prevent Stroke:From all the above benefits it is no surprise that in a Harvard University study, people who ate more than six carrots a week are less likely to suffer a stroke than those who ate only one carrot a month or less.

Fun Facts on Carrots

*Rabbits love to eat carrots but they shouldn't eat too much.Remember that a rabbit eating a single carrot is like us eating over20! They like the sweetness and carrots are good for their teeth and don't have white sugar but even too too many natural sugars will cause digestive problems anddiabetes. They probably would dobetter with the carrot tops. We would benefit from the tops also but probably won't eat them! *.Carrots are the second most popular type of vegetable after potatoes.


*The biggest carrot recorded is more than 19 pounds and the longest is over 19 feet!You can see them here:biggest carrot- but they aren't particularly pretty!


*There are over 100 species of carrots.Some are big. Some are small and they come in a variety of colors including:orange, purple, white, yellow, and red.


*English women in the 1600'softenwore carrot leaves in their hats in place of flowers or feathers.


*The name "carrot" comes from the Greek word "karoton."The beta-carotene that is found in carrots was actually named for the carrot itself!


*The average American eats about 12 pounds of carrots a year.That's only one cup per week. We could easily triple that with great benefits if we were also eating a variety of other vegetables.How To Eat Carrots The nutrition in carrots are tightly encased in protein sacs that have to be broken by heat (cooking) or mechanical action (grinding, juicing,proper chewing). Cooking the carrots in fat or oils, or pureeing or juicing them increases the availability of carotenoids by 600 percent.Fats help the absorption of carotenoids into the blood by 1000 percent as carotenoids are fat soluble.

FAIDA YA KITUNGUU NA JUISI YAKE

Kitu kimoja napenda kukuhakikishia kuwa, unayoyasoma hapa kuhusu kitunguu, tayari yalishafanyiwa utatifi na kuthibitishwa na wataalamu waliobobea katika masuala ya vyakula tangu enzi za mababu zetu. Vile vile, watu wanaoamini lishe kama tiba na kutumia, matokeo yake siku zote huwa dhahiri na wako wengi wanaoweza kuthibitisha jinsi afya zao zilivyo imara leo tofauti na miaka kadhaa iliyopita kabla ya kugundua siriya chakula kama tiba.




JINSI YA KUTENGENEZA...


Kinachotakiwa ni kitunguu maji kimojacha ukubwa wa wastani ambacho utatengenezea juisi na kupata kiasi chaglasi moja saizi ya kati. Safisha kitunguu chako kwa kuondoa gamba lajuu kisha katakata vipande vidogo vidogo ili kurahisisha usagaji. Kuna njia mbili unazoweza kuzitumia kutengeneza juisi hiyo.




Ya kwanza ni ya kisasa ambapo unaweza kutumia 'blender' au 'juicer', kwa kuweka maji kidogo na kuanza kuisaga hadi kupata juisi.




Njia ya pili ni ya kiasili, ambapo utatumia kinu kidogo na maji kidogo kwa kutwangwa hadi kupata juisi. Ukimaliza kusaga (kwa njia utakayoitumia) kamua na ichuje juisi yako kwa kutumia chujio la kawaida ili kupata juisi pekee ya kitunguu na kuacha masalia ya maganda peke yake.


Mara baada ya kuiweka juisi yako kwenye glasi, HAKIKISHA UNAINYWA HAPO HAPO. Hairuhusiwi kuihifadhi au kuinywa baadaye, kwa sababu itapoteza virutubisho vyake muhimu. Kunywa glasi moja mara moja kwa sikuau mara mbili, ukiona tatizo lako ni kubwa. Fanya zoezi hilo la kundaa juisi na kuinywa kwa muda wa siku saba hadi 14.

Kama nilivyoeleza wiki jana, hali ya kuchafuka kwa tumbo na kujisikia vibaya baada ya kunywa, isikuogopeshe, baadaye utaizoea na utajisikia vizuri zaidi. Mbali ya kutibu tatizo la kusikia maumivu na kutokwa na damu wakati wa kwenda haja kubwa (Hemorrhoids au piles), juisi hiyo pia itatoa ahueni aukinga kubwa dhidi ya matatizo mengine ya kiafya yafuatayo: Pumu, mafua, magonjwa ya kuambukizwa na bakteria, matatizo ya kupumua kwa shida, kiungulia na kutapika. Itaongeza kinga ya mwili dhidi ya magonjwa nyemelezi, vile vile kwa kutafuna vitunguu vibichi na kukaanavyo mdomoni kwa sekunde kadhaa, kutaua bakteria wote wa kinywani na kutoa kinga dhidi ya kuoza kwa meno na kuondoa harufu mbaya. Ulaji wa vitunguu maji vibichi mara kwa mara, hulainisha damu na kuzuia kuganda ambako husababisha mishipa kuziba na kusababisha magonjwa ya moyo, ikiwemo presha ya kupanda.

Juisi ya kitunguu ni dawa mara moja yakuzuia kutapika, mtu anayetapika mfululizo akinywa juisi ya kitunguu, hupata nafuu haraka. Vile vile juisi hii ni dawa ya tumbo linalouma na hutoa kinga dhidi ya magonjwa ya uvimbe tumboni. Kama unasumbuliwa na chunusi, pakaajuisi ya kitunguu iliyochanganywa na asali sehemu yenye chunusi vitaondokana kukuacha na ngozi nyororo. Chukua kiasi kidogo cha juisi na kijiko kimoja kidogo cha asali changanya kisha pakaa. Juisi ya kitunguu pia ni dawa ya kutibu majeraha ya kuumwa na nyuki. Kama unapata maumivu wakati wa haja ndogo au unatoa mkojo mchafu sana, kunywa maji mengi yaliyochanganywa na juisi ya kitunguu kiasi kidogo, tatizolitakwisha. Juisi ya kitunguu ina virutubisho vyenye uwezo wa kudhibiti chembechembe hai za mwili zenye kansa na hivyo kuwa kinga nzuri dhidi ya ugonjwa wa saratani (cancer). Ulaji wa vitunguu au juisi pia hutoa ahueni kwa mgonjwa wa kifua kikuu.

Juisi iliyopashwa moto pia ni dawa ya sikio linalouma. Weka matone mawili tu kwa kila sikio linalouma. Juisi ya kitunguu pia ni dawa ya majeraha yatokanayo na moto. Ukiungua, pakaa juisi hiyo sehemu zilozoungua kwa nafuu ya haraka. Pia kitunguu ni dawa ya mbu, pondapondavitunguu, kisha jipakae sehemu za miguu na mikono - mbu hawatakugusa. Faida za kitunguu na juisi yake ziko nyingi na zote ni muhimu kwa ustawi wa afya zetu. Nakushauri kuanzia leo, kunywa juisi hiyo au kula kitunguu katika kila mlo kwa jili ya kutibu maradhi uliyonayo au kwa kuupa mwiliwako kinga imara, na kamwe hutajuta!

FAIDA YA NAZI..

Vyakula vimetufanya tuamini kuwa maradhi mengi hayana tiba.

Hiyo inathibitika wazi pale vyakula vinapotoa majibu ya tiba bila sisi wenyewe kujijua. Kwa mfano ni rahisi sana watu kula chakula wakashiba halafu wakawa hai na kusema dawa hii inafaa au dawa ile haifai na kusahau kukitaja chakula kama dawa ya msingi inayobeba mhimili mzima wa tiba zote.

Hii ndio sababu madaktari na wauguzi wanakuwa wakalikatika kuwasisitiza wagonjwa kula kablaya kupewa dawa. Katika ardhi ambayo binadamu hajafanya uharibifu wa mazingira, inaaminika kuwa pamelala tiba za magonjwa yote zikisubiri watu waje wazigundue. Miaka ya 1980 ugonjwa wa AIDS ulitokea kuua wanaume, wanawake na watoto duniani kote kwa kishindo kikubwa! Watu wengi wamekufa na wengi wataendelea kufa, kitu ambacho ni tishio ulimwenguni kote mpaka hivi sasa.

Wakati huo huo vyakula vimeendelea kuwa tiba na mhimili mkubwa kwa afya za waathirika wa magonjwa mbalimbali duniani kote huku gonjwa hili likizidi kuonyesha sura mbaya na ya kutisha zaidi kila kukicha. Zipo tiba nyingi ambazo binadamu anazipata toka kwenye vyakula anavyokula bila kujua kama anajitibu. Tena kwa bahati nzuri zaidi ni kuwa tibahizo pia zinapatikana bila gharama yoyote zaidi ya kula chakula, ukitofautisha na gharama za matibabu ya aina nyingine kama hospitali, dawa zakienyeji nk. Unatakiwa ujue unapokula chakula chochote huwa unajitibu maradhi fulani bila kujijua. Kwa mfano unaweza kujitibu makali ya AIDS Endapo utatumia vyakula hivi vilivyoorodheshwa hapo chini, pamoja na dawa toka hospitali. Namna ya kufanya:

Utahitaji;


1. Nazi. Yaweza kuwa nazi, mafuta ya nazi, tui la nazi, dafu n.k.


2. Chai mbichi isiyokaushwa.


3. Vyakula - mchanganyiko wa nafaka.

Nazi: Nazi imewahi kuthibitishwa kuwa na vitu muhimu vinavyoua virusi. Lauric Acidndiyo acid pekee kwa kuua virusi ambayo inapatikana toka katika nazi na pengine ni toka kwenye maziwa ya mamaake binadamu tu duniani kote. Je, Ni kweli Nazi inarutubisha afya? Acid hii ndiyo kitu pekee chenye uwezo wa kuua virusi na ni rahisi kugundua hilo kama utakuwa mtu mwenye kumbukumbu basi nakupa Uthibitisho katika maeneo matatu. Linganisha afya mbovu za awali za watu waliohamia Dar Es Salaam kama vile wasichana wa kazi za ndani, vijana wanaokuja kusoma au kuutafuta maisha n.k. wakitokea sehemu zisipopatikana nazi. Utamkuta mtu anakuwa hajiamini, haongei sana, mwoga, ngozi yake imejikunja-kunja, miguu imepasuka na pengine hata kitambi cha kwashakoo ni kawaida kwao.

Halafu angalia afya zao pale walipokula vyakula vilivyoungwa nazi kwa muda mfupi tu kama miezi mitatu tu wakiwa hapa Dar Es Salaam. Utagundua kuwa afya zao zilibadilika sana.Wananenepa, Mipasuko kwenye miguu inaondoka, Ngozi zinakuwa nyororo, kwashakoo inaondoka, wanakuwa sio waoga tena, wanaongea sana tena kwa kujiamini na kwa kusema yote ni kuwa wanachangamka kiafya. Kwa wale tuliosoma "Old schools" mtakumbuka tulisoma vitabu vingi vikiwemo Alfu lela Ulela ambavyo vilijumuisha Safari saba za Sindbad Baharia. Katika safari zake aliwahi kutekwa akiwa na wenzie saba baada yachombo chao kugonga mwamba na kuvunjika. Watekaji waliwafungia ndani na kuwalisha "wali ulioungwa nazi" ili wanenepe kisha wawachinje! Sindbad kwa kujua hilo hakula kiasi kikubwa na baada ya muda mfupi wenzie walinenepa sana na walichinjwa wakaliwa! Yeye alikuwa akikonda siku baada ya siku na kuwafanya maharamia hao kumfungulia atembee tembee awe huru ili aimarike kiafya na ndipo alipopata mwanya wa kutoroka….

Uthibitisho wa mwisho ni pale mtoto mchanga anapofiwa na mama yake basi huwa anaikosa lauric acid toka ziwa la mama na afya yake nadhani wote mmeshuhudia inavyoathirika. Kifupi ni kuwa anatakiwa pamoja na maziwa ya wanyama anayolishwa inatakiwa apate walau kijiko kimoja cha tui la nazi kila siku ili kuilinda afya yake isiporomoke. Hivyo kama wewe ni muathirika wa maradhi ya aina yoyote, basi tumia dawaza hospitali, halafu ili kuthibitisha hili jaribu kula vyakula vilivyoungwa nazi kwa kiasi kikubwa, au chakula kilichokaangwa kwa mafuta ya nazi, au jenga mazoea ya kutafuna nazi mbichi na pengine ni vizuri zaidi ukaacha tabia ya kunywa soda na kuanza kunywa maji ya madafu pale unaposikia kiu. Je Nazi yoyote inatibu? Kama kawaida ya uhusiano wa mmea na udongo ulivyo, zipo nazi ambazo ukizipeleka katika maabara utazikuta zina kiwango kikubwa cha lauric acid au ukakuta lauric acid ipo kidogo au pengine ukakuta nazi haina kabisa lauricacid kwa vile udongo ulipooteshwa nazi kuna kemikali ambazo zinasababisha udongo huo kuwa sio sahihi kuzalisha acid hiyo katika nazi. Kwa kutambua hilotafiti nyingi zimefanyika na nazi zenye dawa hapa duniani zipo japo chache na zinapatikana kwa kupiga simu no 0768 215 956 au email rotion@live.com

Pia mpaka sasa yapo makampuni ya kusindika nazi ambayo yanakamua nazi zenye lauric acid ya kutosha na kuuza kama dawa. Nazi hizo zimeingizwa nchini na ninazitumia kutoa tiba kwa waathirika na hakika zinapunguza idadi ya watu wenye afya mbovu. Lakini mpaka sasa hakuna taarifa zilizowafikia wawekezaji wa ndani hasa katika sekta ya afya ambao ningeweza kushirikiana nao kuitafiti bidhaa hii nchini watu walena wapone. Je, Nazi zinapatikana? Upande wa pili wa shilingi una sura ya nazi kuwa bidhaa ya wenye nazo tu mara baada ya habari hii kuenea. Sasa Vile vile ni vema kwa wizara za kilimo na chakula pamoja na wizara ya afya kukaa chini na kuangalia namna ya kukabilianana changamoto hii ya kupungua kwa nazi masokoni pamoja na kupanda kwa bei ya bidhaa hiyo ambayo inaweza kufikia shilingi elfu tatu kwa nazi moja endapo theluthi moja tu ya watanzania wataamua kuitumia nazi kama dawa ya kurutubisha afya zao. Wakati naendelea kukuletea habari hii, ni vema ukaituma email hii kwa watu ishirini au wote katika address book yako ili tupunguze idadi ya watu wenye matatizo ya kiafya.

Tusifiche tiba maana kuwa na taifa lenye wagonjwa ni UMASIKINI.
