take the day off...

I got this email from a friend about food as medicine.

If you often have headache, eat plenty of fish as fish oil helps prevent headaches, also good for those who have arthritis. Fish has omega oils which is good for our immune system.

If you have asthma, eat onions because onions help ease constriction of bronchial tubes.

If you have upset stomach, eat bananas and ginger as bananas will settle an upset stomach and ginger will cure morning sickness and nausea.

For girls who have premenstrual syndrome, eat cornflakes which able to reduce depression, anxiety and fatigue.

For those who despise garlic like I used to, it is actually good for cold and it lowers cholesterol!

Did you know that kiwi has twice vitamin C content that of an orange? (yeay me for liking kiwi than orange).

Strawberry has the highest antioxidant power among major fruits and protects the body from cancer causing.

The top fruits with most vitamin C are guava and papaya. Papaya is rich in carotene which is good for eyes also for gas and indigestion. I remember mama told me that I have indigestion because I don’t eat much needed papayas.LOL…

You don’t need to buy those expensive supplements (well, maybe you need to because people nowadays lead a very busy life). But, Allah SWT created the things that we can eat and these things are the original medicine. People in the old days really appreciate them as they don’t have supplement like we have now. Honestly, nowadays people get sick easily because they are too many fast food/junk food that they can munch on because they don’t have the time to have a home cook meal which is much much healthier. Plus, as people are busy leading the good life, they did not realize that they somehow endanger mother earth which causes pollution which in return endangers their lives. As the saying goes, what you give, you get back whether what you give is good or bad. In addition, people nowadays are stress with their hectic life that they turn to cigarette and alcohol which are the quickest way to distress but endanger their lives. I mean, you work hard for all that money to have good life, and when you are stress, you use that hard-earned money to buy alcohol and cigarette that will shorten your life. What I don’t get is, if people work hard to have good life, work hard to have everything that they could enjoy but in the end actually they work hard to ruin their lives. Man, as you get older, you become stupider. No offense, I’m just curious. I you feel offended, you shouldn’t read this, but then, think again.

Live a good life although it is not glamorous and lavish like you dream it would be, be thankful of what you have, same goes to me.
