Ask most women and they’ll tell you that a good dose of chocolate really takes the edge off.  It’s not a joke.  Science confirms that eating dark chocolate helps relieve emotional stress and also lowers blood pressure.

A study published in the Journal of Proteome Research found that consuming 40 grams (about 1.4 ounces) of dark chocolate daily for a period of two weeks reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol and catecholamines, the fight-or-flight hormones.

The authors also concluded that their study “provides strong evidence that a daily consumption of 40 g of dark chocolate during a period of 2 weeks is sufficient to modify the metabolism of … healthy human subjects.”

Other studies had already suggested that chocolate relieved stress but this study provided evidence of the biochemical mechanism at work in relieving stress.Read more

Ramai yang mengadakan OPEN HOUSE di bulan Syawal ni. Di sini saya kongsi beberapa petua yg mungkin boleh dijadikan panduan.

Ketika makan
• Setelah dijemput untuk merasa juadah, mulakan dengan hirisan buah-buahan.
• Ambil juadah utama dalam

jumlah sedikit, diikuti kuih-muih dan sebagainya. Ini penting terutama jika anda mempunyai banyak lagi rumah untuk diziarahi.
• Jangan letak terlalu banyak makanan di dalam pinggan (jika jamuan buffet). Ini adalah membazir jika tidak dihabiskan.
• Jangan mencampurkan gulai berlada hitam dengan masakan bercili merah atau cili kering. Kepedasannya mungkin membuat perut sakit.
• Elakkan mengambil makanan yang dihinggapi lalat. Pilihlah yang di sebelah bawah atau di dalam kuah yang tidak terdedah kepada lalat. Lebih baik tidak mengambilnya langsung. Jika anda kenal tuan rumah, bisikkan padanya tentang lalat yang banyak itu.
• Kurangkan makanan bergoreng kerana ia mengandungi lemak daripada minyak gorengan. Sebaik-baiknya, buangkan kulit ayam goreng sebelum dimakan.
• Elakkan makanan yang terlalu masin kerana anda akan berasa haus dengan cepat dan minum lebih banyak air. Bila perut penuh dengan air, anda tidak selesa menikmati makanan lain.
• Hindari jeruk atau makanan yang diperam lama kecuali anda minum banyak air suam selepas memakannya. Jeruk boleh menyebabkan gas terkumpul di dalam perut terutama bila anda makan terlalu kenyang.
• Ambil sajian pencuci mulut (dessert) yang lembut dan mudah hadam. Gunakan sudu kecil untuk menyenduk puding.
• Jika ada hidangan barbque, lebihkan pengambilan timun atau sayur-sayuran lain kerana ini dapat mengurangkan efek ‘carcinogen’ yang terdapat pada bahagian hangus makanan itu.
• Ambil salad atau sayur-sayuran supaya mendapat mineral dan zat yang diperlukan oleh tubuh. Nutrien inilah yang akan membantu proses pencernaan makanan.
• Elakkan pengambilan terlalu banyak bahan karbohidrat yang mudah mengenyangkan seperti nasi, nasi impit, mee, bihun, pasta, pulut, roti dan lain-lain. Ia boleh menyebabkan perut anda sebu.
• Gunakan pinggan yang kecil bagi mengawal pemakanan. Jika pinggan besar, anda berpotensi untuk mengambil lebih daripada yang sepatutnya anda makan.
• Hindari makanan yang terlalu pedas atau terlalu masam. Ia boleh membawa akibat buruk kepada mereka yang menghidap gastrik atau pedih ulu hati.
• Jangan makan terlampau banyak kek dan biskut yang manis dan lemak atau bersalut coklat kerana ia mengandungi banyak kalori yang boleh mengakibatkan kegemukan.
