EGGs Promotes Growth

Much has been said and written about the effect of eating to much egg. How it contributes to cholesterol and associated heart disease. So much so, till today, I have this tendency to avoid eggs even though I like them so much. This came into my mail the other day and I thought to share it with you.,

EGGS......HARVARD STUDIES.....PROMOTES GROWTH
AND LESSENS RISK OF CATARACTS.

(Any egg expert around to comment?)

One egg a day should be OK ?

Great news for those of us who love eggs!


10 Health Benefits of Eggs :


1. Eggs are great for the eyes. According to one study, an egg a day may prevent mascular degeneraton due to the carotenoid content, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin. Both nutrients are more readily available to our bodies from eggs than from other sources.

2. In another study, researchers found that people who eat eggs every day lower their risk of developing cataracts, also because of the lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs.

3. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids.

4. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease
.
In fact, according to one study, regular consumption of eggs may help prevent blood clots, stroke , and heart attacks .

5. They are a good source of choline. One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline. Choline is an important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.


6. They contain the right kind of fat. One egg contains just 5 grams of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.

7. New research shows that, contrary to previous belief, moderate consumption of eggs does not have a negative impact on cholesterol. In fact, recent studies have shown that regular consumption of two eggs per day does not affect a person's lipid profile and may, in fact, improve it.

Research suggests that it is saturated fat that raises cholesterol rather than dietary cholesterol.

8. Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D .

9. Eggs may prevent breast cancer . In one study, women who consumed at least 6 eggs per week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 44%.


10. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals. Many people find their hair growing faster after adding eggs to their diet, especially if they were previously deficient in foods containing sulphur or B12.

Well whether you believe this or not, I think I'll stick to prudence that always to take things in moderation, more so especially when it comes to food.

High Blood Cholesterol – control it the natural and herbal way

High cholesterol is a common problem nowadays, with practically almost a major percentage of those in the 40s age bracket complaining about their cholesterol problem. I am not sure whether this is brought about the better lifestyle that one enjoys as his lots improves along with better income and business contacts that brings with it so-called fine dining and wine couple with lack of time for exercise. Such is the problem that comfort in life that can bring on a lot of health problem that the poor, hard-worker type will have less to combat with.

For the past 10 years, I have been on medication to control my cholesterol level, and lucky enough, I have this under control together with a supplement that comes from the guggul plant. My cholesterol level is now below the threshold of 5.2 which I had trouble maintaining before I took on the guggul supplement.

Over the years, I remember receiving this few times, and this again came into my inbox recently which I thought I should share with you. Afterall, this is not a medication, but in fact , a delicacy that the Chinese common cook in their household. The mail came with someone’s experience who I do not know, but like I said, as a Chinese delicacy, the Mok Yee (black fungus) is available openly and cooked as meal in many Chinese home.

The mail came as follows; Someone’s Experience

I want to share a secret for treating high cholesterol. Three weeks ago l went for a cholesterol check. To my surprise, it was above the normal range which should be less than 5.2 mmol/L. My reading obtained was 6.6. I had been consuming alot of red meat and lamb recently. After consuming Mok Yee (black fungus) for two weeks, l had my cholesterol checked again and found that my cholesterol level fell to 4.70 mmol/L My pharmacist said that even cholesterol medication will need 1- 3 months to take effect. She was very surprised and said it is a miracle.

Review: I immediately followed an advice of a friend who told me about Black fungus (Mok Yee). He had four block heart arteries, over 90 percent blocked. His cardiologist advised him to go for bypass surgery, failing which he would suffer an imminent heart attack. His sinseh ( chinese physician) friend advised him against surgery as the procedure would be messy, painful and expensive. He followed the advise of his sinseh friend by consuming Mok Yee (black fungus) daily. After consuming boiled Mok Yee juice for 40 days, he went for an angiogram. His heart specialist was surprised and shocked that his arteries were all cleared of any blockage and it would not be necessary to see him for another 10 years! My observation is that Mok Yee juice is not only effective in treating high blood cholestrol but also helps to bring relief to joint paints, arthritis and poor blood circulation.

The internet info. claims : that Mok yee reduces blood clot, preventing thrombosis, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease,and cancer.Black Fungus contains abundant protein, ferric, calcium, vitamin, rough fibre, the content of protein is equal to meat.
Preparation :
1) Pick a hand full of Mok Yee and soak in water for 1-2 hours
2) Wash Mok Yee and cut to pieces with scissors.
3) Pour five bowls of plain water into slow cooker (crock pot)
4) Put 2-3 slices of ginger, 8-10 red dates, 20 kay chee(wolf berry) into crockpot.
5) Bring to boil for 8 hours. One and a half bowls of Mok Yee juice will remain after boiling overnight.

Consumption : You may consume for 10 to 14 days according to the severity of the problem. For those with low blood pressure consume less or only for alternate days. Drink Mok Yee first thing in the morning with an 'empty stomach'. Consume at least one large bowl. Take breakfast 2 hours later.

Side effects - you may feel a little tired after 3- 4 days. Consume multivitamins and fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Do not eat oily or fried foods during this period.

Observation : Dark and oily stool during the first two days.
Remarks : Cholesterol medication is chemical in nature and may harm the liver. Mok Yee is a plant and does not contain chemicals.
Take blood test for blood cholesterol before and after treatment to see the results.

There it goes, I consume Mok Yee as a normal dish but do not know how effective as claimed. If you do try this, do keep me posted on the result.
