معجزه‌های زنجبیل

.......................................
هیچ دارویی موقع سرماخوردگی به اندازه زنجبیل نمی‌تونه درد عضلات‌تون رو تسکین بده. زنجبیل با بدن یه آنفولانزایی چنان برخورد می‌کنه که اصلا انگار آفریده شده تا به جنگ ویروس سرماخوردگی بره. از لحظه‌ای که احساس کردید حالت‌تون خوب نیست و در آستانه بیماری کسالت‌آور سرماخوردگی هستید، چای زنجبیل دم کنید و دو سه تا لیوان چای زنجبیل همراه لیموترش و عسل بخورید.
.
.
........................................
زنجبیل با خودش یه عهد جدی بسته که بعد از سرماخوردگی به جنگ با حالت تهوع بره. دلیل حالت تهوع می‌خواد از خستگی سفر باشه یا دریازدگی، از مسمومیت دارویی باشه یا حاملگی برای زنجبیل فرقی نداره. تو یه چشم بهم زدن برطرفش می‌کنه. یکی از بدترین تهوع‌هایی که ممکنه یکی بگیره، تهوع بعد از عمل جراحیه. هیچ آرامبخش و دارویی اندازه یه دم‌نوش زنجبیل حال مریض عمل کرده رو جا نمیاره.
.
.
.......................................
رژیم غذایی بیماران مبتلا به ام‌اس رژیم گرمیه. زنجبیل می‌تونه یه نوشیدنی و ادویه ثابت برای کنترل بیماری ام‌اس باشه. اگه به هر دلیل طعم و بوی این گیاه رو دوست ندارید، می‌تونید کپسول زنجبیل رو از داروخونه‌ها بخرید.
زنجبیل دوست خوب روده است، اما میونه خیلی خوبی با معده نداره. اگه ناراحتی یا زخم معده دارین تو مصرف زنجبیل احتیاط کنین.
.

.......................................
کاهش استرس، کاهش کلسترول خون، کاهش درد استخوان و مفاصل، کاهش درد دندون و سر درد هم معجزه‌هایی هستن که می‌تونین از زنجبیل انتظار داشته باشین.
زنجبیل رو به شکل تازه، فریز شده، خشک و آسیاب شده می‌تونید نگهداری و مصرف کنید. طعم‌ش برای دم‌نوش و شیرینی مناسبه و ادویه خوبی برای غذاهای گوشتی به حساب میاد.

Turmeric and Black Pepper – A Perfect Anti-cancer Combination

By Alex Jordon

There is no other natural ingredient in the world that is more effective in reducing inflammation in the body than turmeric.

A very simple combination of these three ingredients can prevent the appearance of cancer.

Here’s the recipe:

Mix ¼ teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon olive oil. And add these ingredients in one teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Mix all three ingredients nicely.

The mixture can be consumed individually or it can be added in different dishes or salads.

If you only consume the mixture, it can be mixed with little water. If the mixture is used in cooked dishes, make sure to put the mixture at the end of cooking.

A number of animal and laboratory studies have reported anti-cancer (colon, skin, breast) properties of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric.

Why the Benefits of (Curcumin) Turmeric Enhanced by Black Pepper

Studies have found that piperine (exist in black pepper) enhances the serum (blood) concentration, extent of absorption and bioavailability of curcumin (or turmeric for that matter) in both rats and humans with no adverse effects.

This means that a low dose of curcumin could have a greater effect in terms of health benefits when combined with piperine than a large dose of curcumin or turmeric would.

1- Speeds up the healing process of wound of your skin due to its antiseptic properties. Mix it with aloe vera gel can be more effective.

5- Many studies have proven the turmeric’s effects in preventing Alzheimer’s disease, turmeric contains several agents that block the formation of beta-amyloid, which responsible for the plaques that slowly obstruct cerebral function in Alzheimer’s disease.

6- The presence of curcumin makes turmeric good for treating depression, as curcumin may increase the serotonin levels, which does well in the regulation of memory, sleep, mood as well as learning, and it’s clear that these behaviors play a role in depression.

7- Turmeric can be used in treating diabetes, particular type-2 diabetes by helping reduce insulin resistance.

8- Maintaining cholesterol at a healthy level can prevent many kinds of diseases and turmeric has been shown to reduce serum cholesterol levels.

9- Mix one teaspoon of turmeric in a glass of hot water and drink it can make you feel better sooner when you’re suffering from a cold or flu, this is due to the substance called lipopolysaccharide it contains, which is an immunity booster.
