HEALTH - ~ Nutrition — in a nutshell

preventive medicine
healthy lifestyle
It's described as Nature's energiser, thirst-quencher and even life
enhancer! If that's not enough tender coconut water has many health
benefits
H uffington Post reports that tender coconut water — packed, of course
— is America's latest health craze. The marketing strategy, it says,
has been to dub the drink as "nature's sports drink" and "life
enhancer". And it has hit its mark with celebrities who have "replaced
their acai berry drinks and Kabbalah water" with cartons of coconut
water. Vita Coco and Zico are the major sellers, says the report,
adding, "as fads go… the U.S. coconut water industry went from zero
to$35 million." It then asks: But with a price tag of $2-3 for a
typical 11 fl. ounce pack (about 10 sips), is it really worth paying
top dollar for, well, top water?"
Ilaneer has climbed to similar price levels after the Thane havoc in
coastal Tamil Nadu. But sellers aren't complainingabout stocks going
waste. That is because we have always known of ilaneer's
thirst-quenching, energy-restoring abilities.
"Coconut water is full of electrolytes," says Nirmala Jesudasan,
consultant dietician, Cherian Heart Foundation. "It's helps replenish
body salts after sweating, and is good supportmaterial for nutrition.
There are records of people surviving only on coconut water for days."
Dieters must love it. "It has little sugar, little cholesterol and no
fat," she says.
Packed with potassium
What makes the drink a star isits K factor. You eat fruits and veggies
to get your potassium, while a glass of coconut water has 569 mg of
this mineral — which is almost twice the amount in a banana. Potassium
tends to regulate blood pressure by counteracting the
stimulatingeffects of sodium, of which it contains only 160mg. This in
turn helps to prevent problems like stroke, heart attack and
hangovers. Compare this to 14 fl. oz. of a standard sports drink,
which contains 52.5 mg of potassium and 192.5 mg of sodium. So we have
no quarrel with the ad blitz calling coconut water Mother Nature's
answer to dehydration.
Health on a budget.comclaims coconut water is anti-viral, anti-fungal
and anti-bacterial. "A 2008 research study showed that coconut water
contains peptides (small proteins) that can kill bacteria. It helps
relieve stomach upsets, protects against ulcer-causingbacteria H.
pylori." Its answersfor "why coconut water?" include ilaneer's ability
to dissolve kidney stones, bring stress relief (small amounts ofB
vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenicacid, B-6
and folate play a crucial role in lowering anxiety, depression and
stress), hangover relief, weight loss (naturally isotonic, increases
metabolism) and detoxification.
Chinemere Onuekwusi of Yahoo! Contributor Network believes coconut
water stops all kinds of adverse drug reactions. Its
sodium+potassium+magnesium composition makes it a good substitute for
saline-glucose, he writes. Coconut water is germ-free (pyrogen free: a
substance that causes fever). It has been found very useful for
natural oral re-hydration therapy (ORT). "It is on record that coconut
water if taken during feverishconditions reduces fever," he says. "It
is also known to calm nervous and emotional imbalances. Taking coconut
water regularly aids in flushing the liver, since it contains lauric
acid that has anti-microbial properties."
"Over-hyped", say some. You can get some of these benefits from other
fruits and vegetables, they argue. Liz Applegate, Director, Sports
Nutrition at UC-Davis isn't soldon coconut water as a post-exercise
drink. Its high-potassium-low-sodium combo isn't ideal, she said.
"When you sweat, you lose a lot more sodium than potassium." Plain
water does the job just as well, notes Samir Zakhari, Ph.D., Director,
Division of Metabolism and Health Effects, National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. The kidneys preserve electrolytes when
we drink, so there's no need to replace the electrolytes with coconut
water. Also, there's no scientific evidence that coconut water has
anti-aging and kidney health properties. Nor will it cure cancer and
hypertension. "If you have a kidney problem, consult a doctor about
ilaneerintake," said Dr. Nirmala. "Andthere is no truth in the belief
that it improves skin texture."
But you really can't equate coconut water to plain water. Coconut
water contains several antioxidants and essential minerals. When you
drink it fresh from the tender coconut, you avoid the added sugar in
sports drinks or soda. It beats that fake-coloured, fake-sugar drinks
any day. Water is fine, but letting some cool coconut water dripdown
your shirt-front on a hotday is heavenly, isn't it?

Bees that have technological knowledge

How do wasps collect solar energy?
· How does the solar energy system of wasps work?
· What is the secret of wasps' computer system that works faster than
the direction finding computerspeople use?
· What is the special system which wasps have to reach the nectar in
flowers speedily?
Bees, which are a large family composed of twenty thousand species,
are among the beings that have the most striking knowledge of
engineering and architecture, posess social lives which are quite
different from many other animals and that leave the scientists who
examine themin astonishment at their communication skills. Bees have
great technological knowledge as well as their honey-making ability,
which is one of their most well-known and miraculous abilities. Bees
behave according to Allah's inspiration, just like all other beings on
earth. Allah Who created everything reveals His sovereignty over
living things in Surah Hud as such:
"... There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is
on a Straight Path." (Surah Hud, 56)
Wasps That Collect and Use Solar Energy
The "Eastern Wasp" (Vespa orientalis), which is a bee species living
in the region between the Near East and India, is most active in the
hottest hours of the day in comparison to other insect species that
are more active in the morning. This is because this bee species
setsup their nests under the ground and collects the rays from the Sun
thanks to a special structure in its stomach, and they use this as an
energy stock through a pigment created by AlmightyAllah. The answers
to the questions that scientists havebeen pondering for a long time as
to the function of theyellow bands on their abdomens, and why their
active hours are so very different from their relatives,are hidden in
this structure.
Almighty Allah Created the Body Structure of Wasps in Compliance with
Collecting Solar Energy
Allah, the Lord of the worlds, created the brown section of the hard
caticula layer of the outer skeleton that surrenders the body of this
bee species out of hard riffles with a height of 160 nanometers. The
structure of the section, where the yellow band is, is more different.
Here an oval shaped ledge at a height of 50 nanometers is
interlockedwith another one. This structure prevents the reflection of
sun light and obtains energy by capturing light in this region.
Another characteristic Almighty Allah created for these beings to
collect solar energy is their pigment cells. The melanin pigment
inside the cuticula is brown, while the xanthopterin pigment is
yellow. This yellow pigment turns the light into electrical energy and
functions as a worker that harvests light.
When one contemplates these facts in the light of thisinformation, a
very importantconclusion is arrived at. This bee species did not gain
the ability to collect solar energyusing its own will or by
coincidence. Knowing that the hottest hours of the day are at noon is
not something bees could ascertain. All of the knowledge bees have is
inspired by Almighty Allah. Inone verse, this truth is revealed as
such:
" He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To
Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.Everything in the heavens and
earth glorifies Him.He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. " (Surat
al-Hashr, 24)
Bees That Solve Problems Faster Than Computers
Computers are used in many areas of daily life, mainly in
communication, gathering data, engineering and research. Today
computers are used in the solving of many problems. The help of
computers are resorted to in order to find the shortest way in terms
of time and distance. Computers comparethe length of possible routes
and choose the shortest one for solving this complicated mathematical
problem. However, they can never do it in a rapid fashion. But
bees,which have a brain as tiny as a grass seed, can find the shortest
route without the help of any devices . This is because bees looking
for food solve the problem of finding the shortest way in the shortest
time, which computers find difficult to solve, every day routinely.
Every day, bees travel aroundthe flowers found in many different
regions; they must use lots of energy to fly and for this reason they
find a route that will keep their flight to a minimum. For this they
first discover the location of flowers. Then, they immediately learn
to flyon the best route in order to save energy and time. So, how do
bees' tiny brains solve this problem of finding this perfect short
way, in comparison to people's technological assistants depending on
traffic flow, internet knowledge and roadcomputers? The answer of this
question is again the same. Our Almighty Lord created all beings with
His infinite might and knowledge and bestowed the most appropriate
features for their environments.
