Benefits Of Grapefruit Enzyme

Grapefruit is a subtropical fruit which is rich in enzymes and forms
the basis of many well planned diets. The health benefits of enzymes
have been widely studied and understood. Enzymes are asolution for
many health disorders and can be found as tablets, syrups and capsules
in the market. They are usually recommended if blood tests have shown
the deficiency of a particular enzyme and must be taken in the dose
suggested by a doctor. This will prevent any side effect and make the
enzyme work optimally. Grapefruit has most famously been used as part
of many weight loss diets and to assist in improved metabolism.
Thebenefits that can be obtained by using grapefruit enzyme on a
regular basis are describedbelow.
Uses And Functions Of Grapefruit Enzyme
--------------- --------------- --------------- -
* For Healthy Digestion- The most important function of fruit enzymes
is that they promote healthy digestion by replacing the enzymes in the
digestive juices, secreted by the body. In certain cases, the output
of enzymes may not be sufficient as the glands may be blocked by a
cancerous growth or a part of the stomach surgically removed. This is
when the grapefruit enzymes are very helpful as they aid in the
digestion of food and convert them into their constituent simple
molecules. They are also known to improve the function of the pancreas
which will directly have a positive impact on the process of
digestion. Grapefruit is a rich source of a substance called pectin
which is a type of dietary fiber and helps maintain good bowel
movement.
* An Antioxidant- The enzymes along with the antioxidant lycopene, can
help boost immune system substantially. This is one of the many goals
of enzyme therapy that has made it so popular. The pink and red
grapefruit have more of this helpful component when compared to the
ones that have a white flesh. The enzyme extractscan also help in
better absorption of the large amounts of vitamin C present in the
fruit. This is a very important vitamin, essential to build resistance
to common coldand other infections.
* Anti Aging- The enzymeshave many anti aging properties that can
prevent the damage to the DNA from pollutants such as cigarette smoke
and carbon in the environment. For this reason, a glass of homemade
grapefruit juice is recommended daily. The fresher the fruit, the
greater amount of enzymes that it contains. Areduction in enzyme
activity is seen if the fruit is subjected to even a small amount of
heat.
* For Better Absorption- Doctors often recommended syrups and enzyme
supplements when absorption of vital nutrients is poor. This prevents
the developmentof deficiencies which can hamper many body processes
and harm health. Grapefruit enzyme works along with other enzymes
produced in the body to improve the uptake of vitamins, minerals,
amino acids and glucose by the cells of the small intestine. This
makesone healthier and promotes growth and development in young
children. Many hospitalized patients who are suffering from long term
illness can also greatly benefit from this.
* As Anti Cancer- The enzymes have a very important property which is
their anti cancer ability. They increase the levels of Tumor Necrosis
Factor (TNF) in the body, which ingreater amount helps to prevent the
growth and spread of a tumor. This can reduce the risk of cancer and
also support radiation and chemotherapy to make the management of
cancermore successful in the initial stages.
* For A Healthy Heart- Grapefruit enzymes are important for a good
cardiovascular system as they dissolve clots and prevent them from
blocking arteries supplying the heart. It alsomaintains the
flexibility of the blood vessels and keeps them healthy and
functioning well . Two to three servings a week are recommended to
obtain all health benefits of grapefruit.
Use grapefruits more oftenin your diet to give your body its many
benefits. The use of enzymes in pregnant and lactating women is
forbidden without the prior approvalof a health care provider.

Hinduism to Christianity to Islam

The following is about a brother from Guyana who became a Muslim from
being a Hindu and Christian Priest for 10 years.
His current name is Ahmed Tabarani. He was born in a poor Hindu family
in Guyana. However, he used to dislike worshipping statues since his
childhood. As he grew up, he became connected with the local Church
because they worshipped three divine beings (God, Jesus and Holy
Spirit) rather than worshipping hundreds of idols. Eventually, he
became a Christian and studied for many years to become a Christian
priest. The Church hired him and paidfor all his travelling and living
expenses. His familybecame very pleased to see that because he became
a Christian, their poverty was removed. As a result, the whole family
became Christians. During the 10 years of serving as a Priest, he
always used to wake up at night and meditate. He used to ask God to
show him whetherhe was following the truth. In one such nights, he had
a vision. He saw that three people dressed in white long throbes,
wearing turban and beardare walking towards him and these people are
to show him the true religion. After seeing this vision, many years
passedby but he didn't see such a thing happening. But one day, a
group of Muslims (part of Tabligh Jamah) visited a Masjid near his
place to call people towards Allah. That afternoon, as he was going to
the Church, he saw three of these Muslims are coming towards him.
Immediately, he remembered his vision. These three Muslims resembled
exactly what he saw in the vision. Thenhe approached them and asked
what religion they follow. The Muslims told him about Islam and he
became a Muslim on the spot and quit being a priest. Poverty again
took over his family as he quit his job. All his family members,
especially his mother, became angry at him for becoming a Muslim. But
he said the following words to his mother, "Dear mother, I could give
you a new pair of shoes, but they will become worn out. I could give
you a new dress, but that too will become old and ripped. But I can
give you something that will never finish. My mother, say 'There is no
god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger.'" The mother was really
touched by this statementand became a Muslim. Following her, everyone
else in the family also became Muslims. For 15 years, Ahmed Tabarani
is a practising Muslim serving Islam with his total energy. He is
currently living in Canada.

If a married son does not live with his mother,is he regarded as being disobedient towards her?

I have been living with my husband's mother andsister for two years.
The problem is that his mother is married and herhusband lives with
us, which exposes me to a lotof haraam situations such as being alone
with him, or his entering upon me suddenly when I am not wearing
hijab. This communal living situationalso prevents us from fully
enjoying intimacy with one another and it deprives me and my husband
of many of our rights. I knew from the beginning that I would beliving
with my husband's family, but I did not realise that the matter would
be so difficult and that it would cause me psychological problems and
a sense of deprivation. Now I have begun to want separate
accommodation, as does my husband, but his mother objects on the
grounds that she is sick and needs him. Please note that she is still
working despite her sickness and she is living her life normally most
of the time. Her younger daughter also lives with her and her older
daughter lives nearby in ahouse that she gave to her, and she visits
her all the time. She also has three other houses that are rented out,
but she refuses to give us one of them and refuses to let uslive
anywhere except with her. She regards our desire for a separate home
to be a betrayal on my part and disobedienceon my husband's part. What
is the solution?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Accommodation is one of the rights of the wife that is obligatory upon
the husband according to scholarly consensus, because Allah, may He be
exalted, has decreed that the husband is obliged to provide
accommodation for the woman who is revocably divorced, as He says
(interpretation of themeaning):
"Lodge them (the divorced women) where you dwell, according to your means"
[at-Talaaq 65:6].
So it is more appropriate that he be required to provide accommodation
to the one who is still married. Moreover, Allah has enjoined kind and
honourable treatment between spouses as He says (interpretation of
themeaning):
"And live with them honourably"
[an-Nisa' 4:19].
Part of living with them honourably, as enjoined, is providing the
wife with accommodation in which she and her wealth are secure. The
wife cannot do without accommodation so as to shield her from prying
eyes, and so that she can have her privacy and keepher wealth. Hence
accommodation is one of the rights that she has over her husband.
The majority of Hanafi, Shaafa'i and Hanbali fuqaha' are of the view
that the wife has the rightto accommodation separate from her
husband's relatives, and that she has the right to refuse to live with
his father and mother or one of them.
See: al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 25/109
See also the answer to question no. 7653
If the wife agrees to live with the husband's family,there is nothing
wrong with that, because it is a yielding of her rights on her part.
But that is subject to the conditions that she is safe from falling
into haraam situations with regard to being alone with a non-mahram or
looking, and she has the right to change her mind about this agreement
at any time, because her right to separate accommodation is not waived
as a result of her giving it up.
What you mention about the possibility of being alone with one who is
notpermissible for you, and the possibility of him catching you
unawares when you are not wearing hijab, confirms the necessity of
hasteningto find separate accommodation. It is not obligatory to obey
his mother in this case, because obedience is onlyin that which is
right and proper, and your staying in this family accommodation has
two obvious negative outcomes:
1. It is impossible to relax and enjoy time together which both spouses want
2. There is a risk of falling into haraam
So our advice to your husband is to hasten to find separate
accommodation for you both, and to strive to please his mother with
kind words, frequent visits, checking on how she is, gifts, and so on.
And he should understandthat his leaving his mother's house is not
regarded as disobedience towards her.
And Allah knows best.
