Coconut Water- Love the taste, Love the Health Benefits.

Image
When I was a little girl, I used to go back to my grandparents place for the holidays. They lived in the village and was surrounded by many plants and trees which were a delightful sight, as we don't see much of those in the middle of KL. Among those trees stood tall palms, some were tilted some were straight, it's coconuts! (Cocos nucifera) Yeah! My grandfather would gather up young coconuts and holes on top of the fruit to pour out its water, once the water is all out we would continue with the process of scooping out its flesh for further consumption. Ah, yummy~ Now that I've unearthed it's benefits, I have more reasons to consume even more of its water, and just to let you know, that, you should probably do the same. Health Benefits of Coconut Water Low in carbohydrate & sugar. Cools the body to maintain a balanced body temperature. Hydrates the body-a natural isotonic water (replenish nutrients effectively after an exercise regime) , beats gaseous isoto...

Types of water(part 3): The water is clean, but....

Image
Okay, we're done with living water, let's check out the opposite...dead? I've no idea what it's called, it's just not alive. Here's what I found; reverse osmosis and distilled. Both are very clean but way too clean, no germs, no minerals. Just water. Bad? No. Good? Not sure. But upon my findings, drinking living water brings much benefits for our health, the opposite type of water does not cure nor does it heals. It just water. Distillation and R.O. is made just like we did those water experiments in school, at least I did. Lab work that took hours for tiny bits of water...turns out it's not the best end product we'd yearned for. And before I forget, boiled water. R.O, distilled and boiled water. RO: If you understand how osmotic pressure works, you'll get how reverse osmosis works. First, let's look at a normal osmosis-a semipermeable membrane with tiny pores is placed to diffuse water apart from ions (sodium, chloride and calcium, etc..incl...

This is part 2, please click here to be redirected to part 1...> Okay, moving on with water. As I mentioned living water- that is capable of changing it's water structure by reacting to its surrounding, and this is an upper hand for us. We can influence the water, InsyaAllah , so that it becomes a healthy and curative drink instead of just a thirst quencher. ZamZam Water The zamzam well which is located in the land of Arabia, Makah is a blessing [1] . Not only it flows endlessly to supply the residents with fresh water but it contains magnificent minerals to improve our health, if we desire so [2] . It is said that when a person drinks zamzam water, hunger is not felt.As proven  by Abu Dharr(ra) who had survived only on zamzam water while he stayed in Makkah for a month. Zamzam water improves mental health and memorization, cures physical illnesses and heart-related disturbances, insyaAllah when we pray for it's outcome onto our body. It is also associated with:- h...

Types of water (Part 1) - Living water, it's alive!

Just as we need air to breathe, water is needed just as much to keep on surviving. We drink everyday, but do we even know what are we really drinking, does the water possess minerals that could benefit our health or  the opposite? I just found out myself, the many types of water around us and I think it's an interesting fact that is unknown to many. Water are not all the same, and some contains magnificent effects unlike any other water. There are water that are clean, purified through filtering and lots of other methods to clear up the existing microorganisms and dirt. But wait, too clean is not the best, it isn't the worst either. It's downside is just it's lack of minerals and healing properties that is left attached without much cleansing processes. I'd like to start things off by introducing you to 'living water' , heard of it? Dr. Masaru Emoto,from  Japan wrote a book titled 'The hidden messages in water' , that explains criteria possesse...

Benefits of water... just plain water.

Water composition in the human body The importance of water is realized by most of us, yet neglected by many. Knowing the vital roles of water in our body isn't enough, when many of us are still not getting sufficient amount of daily hydration. I've mentioned in one of my articles, Drink more water , that the human body consists of 75% of water(more or less). It means that more than half of our body is made up of water and thrives on water. This is why we need to gulp down more water. Fad food and an unhealthy lifestyle are possibly the most blamed for sprouted diseases, did any of us ever thought that lack of water can be one of the determining factors of an illness? Well, it does. In fact, it does more than just preserving good health and curbing illnesses, waters plays numerous vital roles in our body, including:- Assists healing processes. Aids digestion. Enhance mental capacity & alertness. Nourishes cells and tissues. Improves blood circulation and nutrient d...

Hydrate your body with FRUITS!

As we all know, 75% of our body is made of H 2 0=water. And for proper organ and system functions, sufficient water is needed. When your body gets dehydrated, it gets unhappy, grumpy and doesn't run well. Your insides are moist, your organs are wet, just imagine your blood, isn't is made up of water? How does it flow if it's dehydrated. The conclusion is drink, drink and drink water. By the way, caffeinated and carbonated beverages is not considered as water, it dehydrates your body, not refreshing it. I am aware how many of us don't drink enough water. Probably you don't fancy the taste, it's not a habit or you're just a bit lazy to go and pour a glass of water for drinking. Whatever the reason is, it's all up to you,whether you feel it is vital or not to keep your body to let your body flooding well. Anyway here is one solution to hydrate your body, not with water but with...FRUITS! Fruits are yummy, and rich of other nutrient; fiber, vitamins, miner...

Drink more water

As i mentioned before, 75% of our body is made up of water. Water maintains the moisture in our body for normal bodily functions and regulates body temperature . Lacking of fluid, causes dryness and disturbs the functions of organs, distribution of nutrients and digestion processes, thus affecting our health. On average an adult loses about 1-2 liters of fluids per day through perspiration, urination, breathing and bowel movements. Other factors contributing to water loss are high salt intake, exposure to chemical substances and extreme physical activities. Its recommended that we drink at least 8 glasses of water/ day or any type of fluids will do, including fruits and juices. It's important that we replace the water that is lost to avoid any malfunctions or complications with our organs. Avoid taking too much coffee, carbonated beverages and alcohol as these drinks do not act as a fluid, they in fact do the opposite, dehydrating your body. Our kidneys needs adequate fluid to n...
