Black rice is the new cancer-fighting superfood, claim scientists

By Daily Mail Reporters


Black rice - revered in ancient China but overlooked in the West - could be the greatest 'superfoods', scientists revealed today.
The cereal is low in sugar but packed with healthy fibre and plant compounds that combat heart disease and cancer, say experts.
Scientists from Louisiana State University analysed samples of bran from black rice grown in the southern U.S. They found boosted levels of water-soluble anthocyanin antioxidants.

Anthocyanins provide the dark colours of many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and red peppers. They are what makes black rice 'black'.

Research suggests that the dark plant antioxidants, which mop up harmful molecules, can help protect arteries and prevent the DNA damage that leads to cancer.

Food scientist Dr Zhimin Xu said: 'Just a spoonful of black rice bran contains more health promoting anthocyanin antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries, but with less sugar, and more fibre and vitamin E antioxidants.

'If berries are used to boost health, why not black rice and black rice bran? Especially, black rice bran would be a unique and economical material to increase consumption of health-promoting antioxidants.'

Centuries ago black rice was known as 'Forbidden Rice' in ancient China because only nobles were allowed to eat it.


Today black rice is mainly used in Asia for food decoration, noodles, sushi and desserts.

But food manufacturers could potentially use black rice bran or bran extracts to make breakfast cereals, beverages, cakes, biscuits and other foods healthier, said Dr Xu.

When rice is processed, millers remove the outer layers of the grains to produce brown rice or more refined white rice - the kind most widely consumed in the West.

Brown rice is said to be more nutritious because it has higher levels of healthy vitamin E compounds and antioxidants.

But according to Dr Xu's team, varieties of rice that are black or purple in colour are healthier still.
They added that black rice could also be used to provide healthier, natural colourants. Studies linked some artificial colourants to cancer and behavioural problems in children.

The scientists presented their findings today at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston.

Victoria Taylor, senior dietician at the British Heart Foundation, said: 'In reality, it's unlikely there's a single food out there that will have a great impact on lowering your risk of heart disease. Healthy eating is about a balanced diet overall.

'It's great if you can eat more of some groups of healthy foods, like having five portions of fruit and veg a day, but there is still no conclusive evidence that 'super foods' alone make a real difference to your heart health.'

The new superfood – "forbidden" black rice

Forget blueberries and blackberries, black rice is the new superfood, claim scientists.

Just a spoonful of black rice – a variety from Asia – contains more of the health giving properties than the equivalent so-called superfoods.
Black rice, which can be crushed into a bran, is sometimes known as "Forbidden Rice" because in ancient China nobles commandeered every grain for themselves and forbade the common people from eating it.
"Just a spoonful of black rice bran contains more health promoting anthocyanin antioxidants than are found in a spoonful of blueberries, but with less sugar and more fibre and vitamin E antioxidants," said Dr Zhimin Xu at the Louisiana State University.
"If berries are used to boost health, why not black rice and black rice bran? Especially, black rice bran would be a unique and economical material to increase consumption of health promoting antioxidants."
Like fruits, "black rice" is rich in anthocyanin antioxidants, substances that show promise for fighting heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.
Food manufacturers could potentially use black rice bran or the bran extracts to boost the health value of breakfast cereals, beverages, cakes, cookies, and other foods.

Dr Xu, who reported her findings at the American Chemical Society conference in Boston, said that farmers are interested in commercially growing black rice which would make it even more cost effective.

治老花眼妙方

治老花眼妙方

香港女作家林燕妮在她的專欄中曾提及,她一向能看得清楚極細小的字, 有一天卻忽然不行了,以為自己老花,就去配了副老花鏡。 

後來朋友介紹她喝一種生榨汁,功能是清腸胃。這道生榨汁用料是蘋菓, 番茄,紅蘿卜,最特別的是還有馬鈴薯。這馬鈴薯是整個配方的關鍵。 

做法很簡單,把所有用料生磨成一杯,然後連渣一起喝。喝過後一小時內 不要吃別的。生榨汁味道有點像番茄汁,整杯橙色的,相當悅目。 

喝了兩三個月,林燕妮發覺不但自己皮膚晶莹,而且在視覺方面,無論多細小的字都看得見了,一清二楚,老花眼鏡根本用 不上。 如果你開始老花,散光或者視力模糊,不妨試試這配方,每天早上連渣飲 一杯,精神爽利,男女老少咸宜。 

治老花眼配方如下: 

中型馬鈴薯一個(去皮,生) 蘋菓半個(去皮,生) 中型番茄一個(去皮,生) 粗紅蘿卜一截(去皮,生) 把全部材料放在攪拌器中,攪成一杯,最好立即飲用。

Goodbye cholesterol, blood glucose, lipids and triglycerides

For those who believe in alternate medicines.   However, No harm can be done because it is the cheapest Vegetable eaten all around the world.
A secret revealed ...

Some years ago, a former professor of mine showed me a blood test, what I saw impressed me.


The five key blood parameters, ie urea, cholesterol, blood glucose, lipids and triglycerides had values which far exceeded permitted levels. Commented that the person with those in dices should already be dead or, if alive, this would be just out of stubbornness. The teacher then showed the name of the patient who until then had been hidden by his hand. The patient was himself!
  I was dumbfounded! And I said: "But how? And what did you do?".

With a smile he introduced me to another sheet analysis, saying: "Now, look at this, compare the values of the parameters and see the dates."
That's what I did. The parameter values were clearly within the recommended range, the blood was perfect, flawless, but the surprise increased when I looked dates, the difference was only a month (between the two analysis of the same person)!

I asked: "How could it? This is literally a miracle!"
Calmly, he replied that the miracle was due to her doctor, who suggested treatment obtained from another doctor friend. This treatment has been used by myself, several times, with impressive results.

Approximately once a year, do analysis of my blood, and if either is present tendency to breakdown, return immediately to repeat this process. I suggest that you try.
Here's the SECRET: weekly for 4 weeks, buy at the fair or supermarket, pumpkin pieces. Should not be the pumpkin squash and pumpkin rather large, which is usually used to make candy. Daily, peel 100 grams of pumpkin, place the pieces in a blender (raw), along with water (WATER ONLY!), And mix well, making a vitamin pumpkin with water.

Take this vitamin fasting, 15-20 minutes before breakfast (breakfast / breakfast). Do this for a month, every time your blood needs to be corrected.

Can control the outcome, making analysis before and after treatment with other pumpkin. According to the doctor, there is no contra indication, because it is just a natural vegetable and water (do not use sugar!).

The teacher, excellent chemical engineer, studied the pumpkin to know which of the active ingredients it contains and concluded, at least partially, that it is present in a solvent of low molecular weight cholesterol: cholesterol more harmful and dangerous - LDL. During the first week, urine has a large amount of LDL (low molecular weight), which results in cleaning of arteries, including the brain, thereby increasing the person's memory ..
PUMPKIN ... Do not make it a secret ... SPREAD!

什么是你的?妙不可言。

什么是你的 ? 
世界上到底什么是你的,这个问题可能有好多的人都不清楚。

爱人是你的吗?
不是。 你们虽然风雨同舟、快乐同享、身体交融、情感交汇,但总有一天要分手。同生有可能,共死决不会,白头到老只是美好的愿望。

子女是你的吗? 
不是。 你们虽然有着浓浓的血缘关系,有着难舍难分的骨肉亲情,那也只能有团聚、孝道、看望、互相关怀……等天伦之乐。即便是你到另一个世界,他们也只是为你送行,却没能把你又重新接回人间的能力。

金钱是你的吗? 
不是。 虽然你拼命的赚钱,但又想方设法把它花出去,即便是银行有再多的存款,那也是生不带来死不带去的东西。

房子和车是你的吗? 
 不是。 虽然你住着温馨、舒服,但当你离开的那一天,就什么都不是了。

那么究竟什么是你的呢? 
你的身体。 只有它才是始终不离不弃地陪伴你的生命,走完人生的全部历程。只有它才能拼命地呵护、保护你的生命,直到耗尽它全部的能量为止。

如果你的身体健康状况越好,陪你所走的路程就越远。 没有了身体,你的生命也就终止了。

因此,你要把这唯一属于你的东西“身体”,看做无价之宝,爱护它、满足它的一切需求。

锻炼、营养、作息、防病治病、讲究卫生、心情舒畅、不受伤害等等一切保护性的措施全部跟上,一刻也不能松懈。 身体健康,生活才会有质量。 身体健康,生命就会延长。

没有了健康的身体,就没有了生命。 有了生命就拥有了一切。 没有了生命,一切就都不是你的了。 所以我们只要活着一天, 就是福气,就该珍惜。 

对待健康,偏见比无知更可怕。 人生最大的错误,是用健康换取身外之物; 人生最大的悲哀是用生命换取个人的烦恼; 人生最大的浪费,是用生命解决自己制造的麻烦! 

没有任何东西比得上健康。保护好自己的身体,珍惜你现在拥有的! 

新时代人生新标准: 
最聪明的人:老玩,老乐,老豁达,老幽默; 
最呆傻的人:老急,老气,老郁闷,老加班; 
最健康的人:老走,老动,老锻炼,老拥抱; 
最快乐的人:老说,老笑,老联系,老给老朋友发邮件!
