[www.keralites.net] PAPAYA ......

PAPAYA IS A STOREHOUSE OF CANCER-FIGHTING LYCOPENE !!!

The gorgeous Fruit Papaya.... Make sure that you have some as often as possible. Read all about it.

Papaya was the only studied food found to halt breast cancer. Scientists studied 14 plant foods commonly consumed in Mexico to determine their ability to halt breast cancer cell growth. These included avocado, black sapodilla, guava, mango, prickly pear cactus (nopal), pineapple, grapes, tomato, and papaya. They also evaluated beta-carotene, total plant phenolics, and gallic acid contents and antioxidant capacity. They found that only papaya had a significant effect on stopping breast cancer cell growth. (International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, May issue).

Papaya is a store-house of cancer-fighting lycopene. The intense orangey-pink colour of papaya means it is chock full of cancer fighting carotenoids. Not only beta carotene, but lycopene is found in abundance. The construction of lycopene makes it highly reactive towards oxygen and free radicals. Scientists at the University of Illinois think this anti-oxidant activity contributes to its effectiveness as a cancer fighting agent.
Epidemiological studies have indicated an inverse relationship between lycopene intake and prostate cancer risk. They showed that oral lycopene is highly bio available, accumulates in prostate tissue, and is localised in the nucleus of prostate epithelial cells. In addition to antioxidant activity, other experiments have indicated that lycopene induces cancer cell death, anti-metastatic activity, and the up-regulation of protective enzymes. Phase I and II studies have established the safety of lycopene supplementation. (Cancer Letter, October 8, 2008).

Prostate cancer was the subject of a study in Australia that looked at 130
prostate cancer patients and 274 hospitalized controls. The scientists found that men who consumed the most lycopene-rich fruits and vegetables such as papaya were 82% less likely to have prostate cancer. In this study, green tea also exerted a powerful anti-cancer effect. When lycopene-rich foods were consumed with green tea, the combination was even more effective, an outcome the researchers credited to their synergy. ( Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2007). ****

****
Isothiocyanates found in papaya restore the cell cycle to eliminate cancer.
Organo-sulphur compounds called isothiocyanates are found in papaya. In animal experiments, isothiocyanates protected against cancers of the breast, lung, colon, pancreas, prostate, as well as leukaemia, and they have the potential to prevent cancer in humans. Isothiocyanates have shown themselves capable of inhibiting both the formation and development of cancer cells through multiple pathways and mechanisms. (International Journal of
Oncology, October, 2008).

****

Researchers in Japan clarified the mechanisms of action in a type of isothiocyanate found in papaya known as BITC, which underlies the relationship between cell cycle regulation and appropriate cell death. When cancerous cells die on schedule, they are no longer a problem.

The researchers established that BITC exerted cancer cell killing effects that were greater in the proliferating cells than in the quiescent cells. Cancer cells that are proliferating are much more dangerous than cancer cells that are in a state of dormancy. (Forum of Nutrition, 2009).

****
Enzymes from papaya digest proteins including those that protect tumours.

The fruit and other parts of the papaya tree, also known as the paw paw tree, contain papain and chymopapain, powerful proteolytic enzymes that
facilitate chemical reactions in the body. They promote digestion by helping to break down proteins from food into amino acids that can be recombined to produce protein useable by humans. Proteolytic enzymes protect the body from inflammation and help heal burns. They do a good job of digesting unwanted scar tissue both on the skin and under its surface. Being a proteolytic enzyme, papain is able to destroy intestinal parasites, which are composedB mostly of protein. To rid the body of intestinal parasites, half a cup of papaya juice can be alternated each hour for twelve consecutive hours with the same amount of cucumber or green bean juice.
****

Research has shown that the physical and mental health of people is highly dependent on their ability to produce proteins they can use effectively.

However, as people age, they produce less of the enzymes needed to effectively digest proteins from food and free needed amino acids. They are left with excessive amounts of undigested protein which can lead to overgrowth of unwanted bacteria in the intestinal tract, and a lack of available amino acids. Eating papaya after a meal promotes digestion, and helps prevent bloating, gas production, and indigestion. It is quite helpful after antibiotic use to replenish friendly intestinal bacteria that were the casualties in the war against the unwanted bacteria. When the intestinal tract is well populated with friendly bacteria, the immune system is strengthened, and can protect better against flu and cancer.

****
Papaya contains fibrin, another useful compound not readily found in the plant kingdom. Fibrin reduces the risk of blood clots and improves the quality of blood cells, optimising the ability of blood to flow through the
circulatory system. Fibrin is also important inB preventing stokes.

Proteolytic enzymes containing fibrin are a good idea for long plane rides to minimize the potential of blood clots in the legs. People who sit at a desk all day might want to use proteolytic enzymes too. Proteolytic enzymes are able to digest and destroy the defence shields of viruses, tumours, allergens, yeasts, and various forms of fungus. Once the shield is destroyed, tumours and invading organisms are extremely vulnerable and easily taken care of by the immune system. Undigested proteins can penetrate the gut and wind up in the bloodstream where they are treated by the immune system as invaders. If too many undigested proteins are floating around, the immune system becomes overburdened and unable to attend to the other tasks it wasB meant to do. Proteolytic enzymes can digest these rogue proteins, freeing up the immune system.
****

Let's ensure a slice of papaya every day in our diet. Papaya juice will be great.

Have a great day.....along with a slice of papaya.

[www.keralites.net] Mother-daughter duo receive PhD degrees together in Delhi University, let’s praise them-

Mother-daughter duo receive PhD degrees together in Delhi University, let's praise them

In a first, mother and daughter receive PhD degrees together on the same day. Mala Datta relished her dream of receiving a PhD degree 34 years after her college days came to a close. What made it worth remembering was that her 28-year-old daughter, Shreya Mishra, also got her PhD degree the same day itself.

Mala Datta is an Indian Economic Service officer plying her trade with Defence Ministry. She said that she always wanted to do a PhD after finishing her Master's in Economics from the Delhi School of Economics in 1985, as quoted by Hindustan Times.

"I had to take a break from work in 2012 when my younger daughter had her class 12 board exams. That was the time when I registered for a PhD (in finance). I then took study leave from the ministry and worked seriously on my completing the PhD," Datta said.

Officials at the Delhi University said that this was the first time they had seen a mother-daughter pair finishing their PhD together.

Shreya is a consultant at the World Bank who did her own PhD in Psychology two years post her graduation.

"After I registered for the PhD we realised that we can complete it together and make it the most remarkable moment for us. Though our subjects were totally different, I started seeking guidance from my mother and worked harder to complete it within three years," Mishra said as per Hindustan Times.

The mother and daughter submitted their thesis and appeared for their oral exams last year. "It's an absolutely wonderful experience for me because I got to learn a lot studying with the co-students of my daughter's age. There were instances when my professor would call me ma'am. But I enjoyed it. The motivation was to get a PhD degree with my daughter on the convocation day," Dutta said.

"The convocation was on November 19, a day after I was getting married. There was no chance of us attending and receiving our degrees together. It was disappointing for us both," said Mishra.

In a fantastic moment to remember, both mother and daughter went to the university on March 15 to collect their degrees. "We finally realised our dream and collected our degrees together.

[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.

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 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.
