A glass of Sweet Orange Powerful Reduce Anger

Jakarta, Many ways can be done to quell the anger, such as listening to soft music with a rhythm or just draw a deep breath. There is also a way that is unique yet proven quite effective, ie, drinking a glass of sweet orange.

The key is not in orange juice but on a simple glucose or sugar in the drink. In the blood, glucose is sent also to the brain as a source of energy, among others, useful for controlling temperament and other negative emotions.


Lack of supply of sugar to the brain can cause uncontrolled negative emotions, thus becoming more aggressive and irritable. That is why, to some extent a sweetened iced with sugar can reduce the explosive anger.

Benefits of sweet orange drink is not just a theoretical expectations for the team from Ohio State University have proved it recently. Were 62 high school students involved in the experimental evidence led by Professor Brad Bushman of this.

Quoted from ScienceDaily, Thursday (12/02/2010), students were divided into 2 groups, each given a drink of orange juice equally given the sweetener. The difference is, one group using sugar-sweetened, while another group
using glucose-free artificial sweetener.

Once given a pause of about 6 minutes to give time for the absorption of sugar into the blood, all participants were asked to undergo a reaction test. Each mutual provocation with noises are deafening.

The group that received artificial sweeteners more easily provoked anger and started to look aggressively at a lower noise level. While those who drank orange juice with sugar-sweetened voice need more noisy and also a longer time before actually provoked his anger.

"These results once explain why people with impaired glucose metabolism tend to be more aggressive, such as diabetes. A lot of sugar in the blood, but so as not to disturbed metabolism of the brain," said Prof. Bushman.

Toxins are compounds that form hydroxyl radicals from iron that is not tied to perfection. In the brain, the accumulation of these compounds cause cell damage and memepercepat emergence of one of the degenerative disease dementia.

To neutralize the toxic effects caused, requires iron-binding compounds called chelator. These compounds will bind and detoxify iron so they no longer harm brain cells.

The role of water is very important to humans, can even be synchronized with the body's need for other nutrients. This is because water is the biggest component in the human body.

During one day, the amount of water released by the body to normal conditions in the urine, defecation, perspiration, and respiratory tract of about 2 liters or 8 glasses. Therefore, the water needed to replace fluids in the body have the same amount or even more.

"Never be lazy and do not drink water first and wait for thirst to drink," said Dr. Samuel Oentoro, MS, SpGK., Clinical nutritionist FKUI-RSCM, in the event Anugerah Abikarya Syandana 'Water is a natural goodness and benefits for the body' in the House of Imam Bondjol, Menteng, Jakarta, Wednesday (08/12/2010).

Dr. Samuel explains, when you feel thirsty your body actually has begun to water shortages as much as 1 percent. Only 1-2 percent water shortage could make the body feel tired, weak, disturbing concentration and thinking ability.

"Just so you know, the highest water content in the body in the brain, because brain cells made up 80-85 percent of water. So when you are short of water 1 percent only when thirsty, power of thought in the brain began to fail. It is not difficult, but becomes more severe to think, "said Dr. Samuel who also practiced at Semanggi Specialist Clinic.

Furthermore, when the shortage of 4-6 per cent water, the body will experience severe weakness, pale mucous membranes in the mouth is really dry, decreased urination and a restless consciousness.

No Need to Chewing Food Up for 32 Times

Jakarta, Chewing long until soft foods are good for digestion. During this time many people cling to the belief that good food chewed for 32 times. But there was no need to chew up to 32 times.

Imagine what it would be like chewing food 32 times? Shaped like the porridge because it was too subtle, there is no sense aka bland and even make people feel sick (like vomiting).

As quoted from Timesonline.co.uk, Thursday (12/09/2010) person does not need to chew up to 32 times but quite as much as 10-12 times each time a bribe.

Indeed, this amount varies in each person, depending on the size of food, sex, age and other factors that influence the production of saliva. But enough to chew as much as 12 times can be tolerated by the digestive system.

Chewing activity is to break large food molecules into smaller particles that make the digestive process to be good. Chewing is the process of contact between the food with saliva in the mouth.

Food contact with saliva not only help to lubricate the food so it is more easy to swallow and pass kerongkngan, but the enzymes contained in saliva contribute to the process of digestion.

Enzymes in saliva help break chemical bonds within the food become more simple, usually marked by the emergence of a sour taste.

So if the foods we chew already sour taste or taste of food is no longer like the original taste then the food can be swallowed. So this process does not need to chew 32 times, but not less than 10-12 times for foods does not burden the intestine.

After all when people eat food are expected to enjoy every chew, namely in terms of texture, flavor and aroma of the food into the mouth before swallowing.

For example when people eat a sandwich, as long as he could still distinguish the texture and flavor of salads, bread and chicken then keep on chewing, swallowing and start when all sense is lost or can not be distinguished.

If someone is chewing too fast, then the food is ingested before the enzyme from saliva which helps break down food molecules out. In addition to also make the stomach feel full faster.

But eat enough to chew and enjoy it so the body can provide signals to the brain when food intake is sufficient and avoid overeating that can lead to obesity.

Boiled Potatoes Make Faster Hungry

Jakarta, boiled potatoes are healthier than fried food because of lower cholesterol content. Boiled potatoes have a glycemic index (GI) was higher and quicker trigger hunger than French fries. Although quick to make hungry than fried potatoes, boiled potatoes stay healthier.

Sooner or absence of hunger appeared determined by the glycemic index (GI) of carbohydrate consumed during the first meal (first meal), for example at breakfast.

The higher the GI, the faster the food is processed in the body so more quickly lead to feel hungry. Instead of food with low GI can maintain satiety for longer digested slowly.

In addition to postpone hunger, metabolism is longer is also good for the body because of blood sugar (glucose), blood becomes more stable until it was time for lunch (second meal).

Besides influenced by the type of food, cooking methods also determine the value of IG. A nutrition expert from the IPB, Prof Dr Ir Made Astawan, MS said that the boiling of foods especially those containing carbohydrates are even more increases the value of IG compared to frying or baking.

"For example, boiled potatoes, ripeness would be perfect so that the starch in it breaks and becomes easier to digest," said Prof. Made in the presentation of research results "Second Meal Effect" in Kuningan Suites Jakarta on Thursday (12/09/2010).

Effect of cooking methods are also provided by a practitioner of Healing Food, Rina Poerwandi. According to Rina, one of the best snacks menu before lunch was raw vegetables. In fiber or complex carbohydrates more difficult to digest so they can maintain satiety for longer.

"One of the best options for blunch atu (breakfast-lunch) is of vegetables, preferably raw. For example, salad, lettuce, and so on," said Rina.

However, not always food with low GI can be called healthy. For example, French fries, despite having a lower GI than boiled potatoes and baked potatoes boiled potatoes but generally remained the most healthy.

"French fries did have a low GI, suitable to delay hunger. But there are no additional oil, salt, and so on. If most'll actually cause hypertension," said Prof. Made.

Ideal Time for Breakfast

Jakarta, the habit of delaying breakfast is not recommended, especially not breakfast at all even though the goal for thin fast. Breakfast soon as possible after you wake up would be better for fast metabolism so the body does not feel hungry.

So-called breakfast or breaking the fast (break fast) meals after fasting during sleep tonight," said Prof. Made in the presentation of research results "Second Meal Effect" in Brass Suites, Jakarta, Thursday (12/09/2010).

Regarding the type of food for breakfast, Prof. Made suggested that glycemic index (GI) is low, such as vegetables and fruits such as bananas or medium GI and rice. Foods with low GI will make the stomach feel full longer, so avoid the urge to snack.

Foods with high GI such as bread and flour should be avoided because it makes the stomach more quickly hungry. Type of food with high GI fit only consumed after heavy physical activity, because at that time the body does require a quick source of energy to digest.

For the current amount of food must be eaten at breakfast, there is no definite limit because everyone's needs differ depending on age, activity and weight. But as the benchmark of Prof. Madeleine suggest 25 percent of caloric needs should be met at breakfast.

"If the average person needs 2,000 calories a day, then at least 500 calories must exist in the breakfast menu. Do not worry too much as well, I'll even sleepy because its energy is concentrated in the digestive system," added Prof Made.
