Left Over Onions Are Poisonous Attracts Bacteria

ONIONS! I had never heard this!!!

PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu...
Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser. She said that several years ago, many of her employees were coming down with the flu, and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

This is the other note. Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu and is the very reason we shouldn't eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open.

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

Ed, who was our tour guide, is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially-made mayo is completely safe.

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the summer picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table, and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that, when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the ONIONS, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!). Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

Please pass this on to all you love and care about.

9 Health Reasons You Should Be Eating Less Meat

9 Health Reasons You Should Be Eating Less Meat

For centuries, meat has been an essential part of the human diet and has made its way into just about every meal. Now researchers have discovered that a high-protein diet, consisting largely of meats, may not be as healthy as once thought. The saturated fats, sodium content and antibiotics in meat may be the culprit for the number of diseases, cancers and illnesses occurring in those who eat it on a daily basis. Simply eating less meat may be the key to preventing these health problems, and here are 9 reasons why you should cut back today:

1    You’ll live longer: Although eating less meat may not necessarily add years to your life, it can prevent a premature death. Cutting back on red meat and processed meats may reduce your risk of developing heart disease and cancer, the two biggest killers of Americans. Red meat contains a high amount of saturated fat, which raises bad cholesterol levels and can increase your blood pressure making you more prone to having atherosclerosis, stroke and heart attack.

2    You’ll reduce the risk for heart disease and diabetes: Eating fewer processed meats can have a significant impact on your health. Cutting back on bacon, sausage, hot dogs and cold cuts can reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease and help prevent diabetes. These meats contain a large amount of sodium and saturated fats, which can contribute to colorectal cancer, kidney problems and congestive heart failure.

 3   You’ll reduce the chances of getting a bacterial infection: Eating less or no meat at all may be your best defense against the drug-resistant superbugs that are appearing in supermarket meats these days. Antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been popping up in raw beef, chicken, turkey and cow’s milk, therefore, increasing the risk for hard-to-treat bacterial infections in humans. Staphylococcus aureus thrives in open wounds rather than in the gut, so handling meats contaminated with this strain of bacteria increases your chance for infection if you don’t take proper measures to protect your hands and cook your food thoroughly.

4    You’ll increase Vvegetable and fruit consumption: For years, Americans have been falling short of the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables can help lower the risk of obesity and certain chronic diseases, as well as reduce your chances of having heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. If you choose to eat less meat, you’ll have more opportunities to increase your fruit and vegetable consumption and reap the health benefits.

  5  You’ll reduce the risk of osteoporosis: Eating less meat may reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis by maintaining a healthy bone density. Meats have been shown to leach calcium from bones, which can become a serious problem for the elderly. Low bone density can make people more susceptible to bone breaks and fractures with age. Therefore, cutting back on meat consumption and maintaining a healthy calcium intake can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

6    You’ll lose weight: Eating less meat may be the ticket to losing those extra pounds and maintaining a healthy weight. High-protein diets may be the culprit of weight gain and the reason why people can’t shed the unwanted pounds. Of course, exercise and lifestyle play a major role in the weight loss process, but cutting down on your daily meat consumption may help you lose the weight faster.

7    You’ll get enough protein: Increasing your meat consumption to get enough protein in your diet is not necessary. In fact, most people get enough protein from their diets without needing to add more meat to the mix. Cutting back on your meat consumption will not make a big difference in your protein intake or your health. Try replacing the meat you would have been eating with another high-protein source like eggs, milk, tofu or cottage cheese.

8    You’ll lower your cholesterol: Eating less meat can have a significant effect on your cholesterol. The saturated fats in meat raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack or angina. Reducing your meat consumption and replacing it with more fruits and vegetables can help lower your bad cholesterol levels and raise your good cholesterol levels.

 9   You’ll reduce the risk of bowel cancer: Bowel cancer, also called colon cancer, is a deadly killer that takes thousands of lives every year. One important way to reduce your chances of developing bowel cancer is to eat less meat. Cutting back on meat, specifically red meat and processed meat, can significantly lower your chances of getting colon cancer because you’ll be lowering your fat intake.

Nigerian Students Discover African Walnut as Solution To Mouth Odour

Next time you see a walnut seller, stop by and grab a handful if you want to stop that mouth odour or simply maintain a fresh breath.

Two Nigerian students of Doregos Private Academy, Ipaja, Lagos –Eveshorhema Sophia Samuel-Alli and Ibukunoluwa Ruth Oladeinde carried out a research on African walnut.

At the end of their experiment, they discovered that it could cure bad breath.

It also has many properties which are, its cancer-fighting properties, rare antioxidants, benefits the heart and circulatory system, helps with weight control and improves reproduction in men.

In chat with Vanguard, they spoke on their project – Walnut: Sustainable Solution to Halitosis, which they presented at the 2014 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held in Los Angeles, USA in June.

They conducted the the experiment with 35 volunteers, which were divided into four groups to use the walnut, as well as the Walnut chewing gum and the Walnut mouthwash.

They said;
“Before they took the walnut and walnut products, they were made to blow bubbles into the solution and then we recorded how long it took to turn the solution black. What turns the solution black is hydrogen sulphide and that is what causes mouth odour. So if it takes a short time, that means the mouth odour is actually very bad. Then after the experiment, they were also made to blow bubbles into the solution and this time, it was noticed that there was significant time lapse before the solution turned black.

When the control group who had bacteria in their mouths, blew bubbles into the solution, it turned black while it remained clear when the other groups blew bubbles into it. So we knew that the walnut was actually working to cure halitosis.”

They won a Life Science Award of $1,000 in the Medicine and Health Science category. Well done girls!


Nutrition and walnut as one out of numerous exotic fruits, minerals and sea vegetables out their Helps you live longer
Eating a handful of walnuts just thrice a week is the key to a longer life, a study has found. Scientists discovered that these edible seeds cut the risk of dying from cancer by 40 per cent and from cardiovascular disease by at least 55 per cent. In general, nut eaters in the research had a 39 per cent lesser risk of death and walnut eaters in particular a 45 per cent reduced threat. Researchers have also
found that eating a polyphenol rich diet can help you live longer. 

7 Bad Habit After Meal

What is Unsafe To Do After Eating a Big Meal

 

1.  I think smoking is never good for you and if you engaged in the habit, find a way to quit.  But studies have revealed that if you smoke right after eating your meal, the intake of all the bad toxins from the smoke has a greater adverse impact on your health akin to smoking multiple cigarettes.

 

2. Most everyone loves their fruits, right?  After all, it is said that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.  Well, there is a lot of good to be gained from eating many types of fruits, but do not be so quick to consume your fruit after a hearty meal because the effect of consuming fruits will cause your stomach to bloat with a lot of air.  It is best to wait an hour or so after you eat or likewise do not tackle a large meal until an hour or so after you snack on some fruit so to avoid unnecessary gas.

 

3. I love all kinds of tea.  Hot tea and ice tea, with a lot of lemon.  But if you just downed a big portion of some really tasty food you should probably  be wary about drinking a great deal of tea because the tea leaves consist of a great deal of acid and when that acts on the protein you have eaten in your meal it makes for some difficulty in digestion.

 

4. OK, so you have had your favorite plate of something and you decided to go back and get more.  Now you are feeling pretty full and want to let out a belt place or two.  Well not so quick because loosening the belt to relieve some of the pressure can contribute to your intestine become somewhat twisted and blocked and you really are not going to feel so well in the you know what department.

 

5. Well, this may come as some surprise but Mom was right about one thing.  Do not be so eager to rush out and jump into the water or bathe in warm water because the act of taking a bath will not sit well with your blood flow level and cause an increase of blood to your legs and hands and body.  As a result, your digestive system will not have as much blood flow as it really needs and this essentially diminishes the efficiency of digestion.

 

6.  Believe it or not, after eating a big meal, it is not so wise to try to walk it off.  The act of doing so will make it more difficult for the digestive system to absorb the nutrition from the food you just consumed.

 

7.  The last thing you ought to avoid right after eating is going right too sleep and sleeping for a long period of time.  Again, it can be a digestive nightmare if you just shut everything down and seek out your sleep time.  The body has evolved over many millions of years and it does pretty darn good job of handling the digestive duties so long as you do not practice extremes.  So where robust physical exertion is not wise for digestive purposes, nor is no activity and giving in to a long slumber.

White Rice Increases Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, Study Claims

The risk of type 2 diabetes is significantly increased if white rice is eaten regularly, claims a study

Harvard School of Public Health look at previous studies and evidence of the association between eating white rice and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Their study seeks to determine whether this risk is dependent on the amount of rice consumed and if the association is stronger for the Asian population, who tend to eat more white rice than the Western world.

The authors analysed the results of four studies: two in Asian countries (China and Japan) and two in Western countries (USA and Australia). All participants were diabetes free at study baseline.
White rice is the predominant type of rice eaten worldwide and has high GI values. High GI diets are associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The average amount of rice eaten varies widely between Western and Asian countries, with the Chinese population eating an average of four portions a day while those in the Western world eat less than five portions a week.
A significant trend was found in both Asian and Western countries with a stronger association found amongst women than men. The results also show that the more white rice eaten, the higher the risk of type 2 diabetes: the authors estimate that the risk of type 2 diabetes is increased by 10% with each increased serving of white rice (assuming 158g per serving).
White rice has a lower content of nutrients than brown rice including fibre, magnesium and vitamins, some of which are associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The authors report, therefore, that a high consumption of white rice may lead to increased risk because of the low intake of these nutrients.

Because brown rice consumption was low in the study population, the researchers could not determine whether brown rice intake at much higher levels was associated with a further reduction in diabetes risk. Substitution of other whole grains for white rice was more strongly associated with lowering diabetes risk. This observation, said the researchers, may result from more reliable estimates based on participants' higher consumption of whole grains other than brown rice.

In conclusion, the authors state that "higher white rice intake is associated with a significantly elevated risk of type 2 diabetes." This applies for both Asian and Western cultures, although due to findings suggesting that the more rice eaten the higher the risk, it is thought that Asian countries are at a higher risk. The authors recommend eating whole grains instead of refined carbohydrates such as white rice, which they hope will help slow down the global diabetes epidemic.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr Bruce Neal from the University of Sydney suggests that more, bigger studies are needed to substantiate the research hypothesis that white rice increases the chances of getting type 2 diabetes.

Comment: Consume more of brown rice e.g Ofada rice  the health benefit is higher and more richer than rice important from Asia with low nutrient and quality as a recent of years of storage e.g 15 years

The Embarrasment of Nigeria Nutrition

Standing before a buffet of fried rice, white rice, Ofada rice, stews, various sauces, plantain, different meats and fish, and a larger variety of desserts than I had ever witnessed at a children’s birthday party recently, I wondered what to do about my increasing girth. Afterwards, as I ate, I marvelled at the interest of the children only in the potato chips and hot dogs; and none whatsoever in the delicious fried yam accompanied by fish stew. There was a larger variety of desserts than I had ever seen at such an event. However, it did not include any fruit or a fruit salad.

Nutrition in Nigeria presents a complex dilemma. We have the challenge of malnutrition as a result of insufficient food; and also nutritional deficiencies as a result of poor food choices among those who can afford to buy them. On the side of malnutrition, due to non-availability/non-affordability of food, the situation is dire among children in particular. In addition to inadequate food availability, deficiency in essential micronutrients - such as iron, vitamin A, iodine, and zinc - is a crucial factor in malnutrition.

Nigeria is among the countries with the highest number of underweight children; around six million, according to UNICEF reports. Recent research also indicates that malnutrition kills as many children under five as all the other childhood diseases.  According to UNICEF, developmental retardation (wasting and stunting), resulting from malnutrition, affects over forty per cent of children in Nigeria. Malnourished children are more likely to suffer and die from diseases like diarrhoea and respiratory infections, become prone to falling ill, and have lowered learning ability.

On the other hand, changes in dietary habits have seen people who can afford to eat properly eating lots of processed foods. I have witnessed many dietary changes in Nigeria over the years. Rice used to be a Sunday affair; soft drinks used to be a special occasion affair; fried meats were an occasional indulgence. While our staples of garri, yams and rice remain, children now have sugary drinks in packs as snacks for school or at home on a daily basis. Hot dogs and potato fries and ketchup are now staples in some homes of a certain income bracket. Noodles are considered essential, sometimes daily meals across all income levels.

These changes are relevant as recent studies suggest that non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer, stroke and heart disease, are on the rise in developing countries like Nigeria; as a result of changes in dietary habits, and increasingly sedentary lifestyles.

Scientists have showed that there is a significant link between white rice and diabetes; and this should alarm many Nigerians as it does me. In my case, having lived in different places and sampled different foods, one thing has remained constant – my love for rice. I still eat rice frequently, sometimes several times a week.  At the risk of over generalisation, this is a characteristic I share with many Nigerians. The various fast food restaurants in Nigeria testify to our love affair with rice.
In 2002, the federal government released the National Policy on Food and Nutrition; and there are other relevant policies. Legislation which provide in some way for nutrition also exist; for example, the Lagos State School Health Law. In subsequent columns, I will discuss these policies and government strategies such as promotion of micro-nutrient fortification and school feeding programs, and the part that government agencies such as the Federal Ministry of Health and the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control have played, could and should play.
In this initial part, I would like to consider nutrition in very human terms. One major issue that the nutrition challenges indicate in Nigeria is the existing inequality in the country. Some have too much to eat, while the greater majority, including a significant number of children, have very little. While there are churches, civil society groups, and private individuals working to level the field, we need to pay more attention to this matter. Can we find ways to engage, to help, to put food on someone’s table?

The other major matter is getting educated about nutrition. My experience is that there is some ignorance about nutrition. That is perhaps the only way to explain some of the food choices that people make; whether this relates to eating inadequate fruits and vegetables, downing bottles of soft drinks on a regular basis, eating too much red meat, not eating enough fish or not breastfeeding etc. The assumption is usually that people know. This is not always true, and it applies to almost every income bracket.

The last major issue is doing something with the information we have. One could have all the relevant information on nutrition, like I have done for years in relation to rice, and simply ignore such information. But we do so, not only at our own peril, but at significant risk of passing on bad dietary habits to our children and one of the best way to put our health in check is to cultivate the habit of what I call Maintenance health care or wellness through taking supplements that boost your body system at the cellular level. 

It is almost a cliché to say that we are what eat. I would add that sometimes we are what we fail to eat. This is certainly true of children whose intellectual abilities are limited because of inadequate food. Let us think of these things as we put the next morsel of food in our mouths today.
