[www.keralites.net] Black Rice cures Cancer

 

Black Rice cures Cancer - "I am recommending chakhao poireiton to cancer patients who seek my advice. Considering the high prices of allopathic drugs which also have terrible side effects, it is advisable to have black rice," says Dr Anjali Pathak, naturopath and organic consultant.

"It has a relatively high mineral content, including iron and amino acids. There are several cases where even cancer patients got cured by having this black rice," says Devakanta.

Devakanta is currently working with about 200 farmers to increase the cultivation of chakhao poireiton in their farms as well. He inspires other Manipuri farmers to grow this rare rice.

 60-year-old Devakanta too toils in the paddy fields for long hours.

What makes him different from other farmers is his passion to conserve a wide variety of rice in his organic farm, including a black rice variety with medicinal properties, called 'chakhao poireiton', and other drought-resistant varieties. Chakhao poireiton is rich in antioxidants that are said to prevent cancer.


Manipur is famous for black rice, which has several medical properties as well. 

 "In Manipur, farmers grow about 20 varieties of black rice and chakhao poireiton is the best variety. 

The rice is also good to fight dieases like viral fever, dengue, chikungunya or influenza.

While some e-commerce sites sell black rice for Rs 300-350 a kg, Devakanta sells organically grown black rice from his farm for just Rs 150.

"I have adopted organic methods of farming. I have also succeeded in convincing many farmers to switch to organic farming. It's high time we stopped using harmful insecticides and fertilisers. The soil here is very fertile and it is our duty to maintain by using only natural manures and bio-agents to protect the crop," explains Devakanta.

Devakanta is also conserving medicinal plants of Manipur. He runs an NGO called All Manipur Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Growers' Consortium.

"We have several high medicinal value plants, some of which are good to cure cancer. Several aromatic plants can be used as inset repellents also. It is difficult to grow and maintain medicinal plants. Our nature is blessed with plants that can save us from several ailments. It is important to protest our naturally available medicinal plans before many varieties get extinct," says Devakanta.

If you want to know more about Devakanta's initiatives, you can reach him at 09862565030 / 09774269517.

[www.keralites.net] ULTIMATE GUIDE TO OAT MEAL

 

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO OAT MEAL

Oatmeal is healthy, inexpensive, and as versatile as it gets. It's a satisfying morning breakfast that's filling without being too heavy. We love oatmeal because you can make a large batch but personalize each bowl to your mood or what's in your pantry: brown sugar and cinnamon for a cold winter day, juicy stone fruit in the summer, or even cheese and a soft-poached egg for a savory twist.
 Here's everything you need to know about oatmeal, from the different varieties to tips and techniques that will help you take your oatmeal game to a whole new level! Now you have no excuse not to bring oatmeal back to the breakfast table.

What Are the Different Kinds of Oatmeal?

Oatmeal is made out of oat groats (or grain berries) that are toasted to make them shelf stable. The oatmeal section at the store may seem a bit overwhelming, but the differences in varieties really come down to how the oats are processed. Basically, the thinner the oats are rolled, the faster they cook and the softer the texture of the cooked oatmeal.
Steel-cut oats - Groats split into a few pieces that are sometimes also called Irish oats; takes the longest to cook.
Old-fashioned and rolled oats - Groats that are steamed, rolled, and then dried.
Quick-cooking oats - Groats rolled thinner than old-fashioned oats so that they cook faster.
 Instant oats - gGoats rolled the thinnest so they cook the fastest; the softest in texture.

The Best Tips for Cooking Great Oatmeal

How you like your oatmeal can be quite subjective: some like it very creamy, while some like the oats to still retain a bit of bite. No matter how you like your oatmeal, here are some tips to make your oatmeal even tastier: try toasting your oats first for extra-deep flavor, use a mix of steel-cut anad rolled oats for great texture, and remember to resist the urge to stir while the oatmeal is cooking so that it doesn't turn mushy.

Conquer Your Morning with Make-Ahead Oatmeal

 Oatmeal is the perfect make-ahead breakfast: making a big batch doesn't require much more effort and time than a single serving, and you can make one batch at the beginning of the week and eat it for a few days.
Make oatmeal in individual servings in jars for the ultimate in convenience, or put together your own flavored instant oatmeal packets to save both time and money. Freezing cooked oatmeal is a great way to make it last even longer, and you can even freeze it in single servings that you heat and eat as needed.

[www.keralites.net] DIET FOR GOUTY ARTHRITIS

 

What Diet Should You Follow For Gouty Arthtitis
By Shalini Attre+

Pain and tenderness in your joints, redness around the affected area and limited movement in the joints signal a gout flare-up.
Extra care in your food habits can help check the triggers. What you put on your plate can greatly help control and prevent flare-ups of gouty arthritis.
In gout, the level of uric acid is high that leads to formation of uric acid crystals. These crystals deposit themselves in your joints and cause excruciating pain. Since diet is responsible for one fourth part of the total uric acid that is formed in your body, it is a great way to control got symptoms.
Before we embark on a list of foods you should not eat in gouty arthritis to avoid triggering its symptoms, let us have a look at what foods are gout friendly.
 Foods that are gout friendly are as follows:
Add more fluids to your diet:
Water is the first thing you drink to start your day! In fact, make sure you take at least 1.5 litres of water daily. This will hydrate your body and help flush out excessive uric acid from your body.
You may also add other fluids like tea, coffee, non sugary juices and drinks.
Increase folic acid intake:
Folic acid helps restrain the production of a compound called xanthine oxidase. This compound is the major enzyme that boosts the production of uric acid. You may take 10 to 80 mg of folic acid daily after consulting your health care practitioner.
 Eat complex carbohydrates:
Simple carbs like bread, cakes, biscuits etc. elevate the blood sugar level in your body. This in turn elevates the uric acid in your body that may trigger or worsen symptoms of gouty arthritis.
Eat complex carbohydrates instead of simple carbs. So, load your platter with fresh fruits, veggies and whole grains. They are an excellent source of fibre. This fibre content keeps you full for a long time and reduces food cravings. It also helps bring down levels of uric acid in your body naturally.
Snack on strawberries:
Strawberries are rich in a compound that helps neutralize uric acid in your body. This makes strawberries a natural remedy for countering symptoms of gouty arthritis.
 Baking soda:
Baking soda is alkaline in nature. It helps in removing uric acid content from your body by neutralizing it. You can consume baking soda by putting half a teaspoon of it in a glass of water.
Go for low fat dairy items:
Include low fat dairy foods like skimmed milk or low fat yoghurt in your diet. They prevent the risk of gouty arthritis.
There are some foods that are rich in purine content. Purines elevate the level of uric acid in your body that further worsens the symptoms of gouty arthritis. Here are some foods that you should avoid in gouty arthritis:
Cut down on animal protein:
Foods that contain animal protein are enriched with purines. Purines elevate uric acid in your body that makes gout pain worse. So, eliminate red meat like pork, beef, lamb etc. and sea food like shrimps, scallops, lobster, herring, anchovies and tuna etc. from your diet.
Seafood, poultry and all types of meat are full of purines. Also avoid protein rich crash diets as they abnormally elevate uric acid levels in your body.
Say no to alcohol:
Eliminate alcohol from your consumption list. It is not good for gout symptoms. For example, beer not only sharply shoots up the uric acid levels in your body, it also makes it difficult to flush out uric acid from your system. So, it is wise choice to steer clear of all forms of alcohol.
Give sugary drinks a miss:
 Sugary drinks like cold drinks are full of fructose content. Fructose increases uric acid content in your body.
Avoid purine rich foods:
Although vegetarian sources of purines are not as bad as animal protein, still they burden your system with uric acid. Asparagus, mushroom, legume, spinach and cauliflower are high on purines, so they should be avoided in gout.
Avoid fats:
 Steer clear of foods high on fat content. Oily and fried food like pizza, hot dogs, burgers, bakery items like pastries, breads etc. are high on fat and calories. This burdens your system and makes gout condition worse.
If you follow these do's and don'ts in your diet plan, it will be easier to prevent and tone down gout flare-ups. It will also keep a check on your weight and help you with the management of gouty arthritis.
