What's New and Beneficial About Tempeh

• A recent study from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has provided us with some fascinating results about the bioavailability of calcium from tempeh. In this study involving postmenopausal women, calcium from tempeh was determined to be as equally well absorbed as calcium from cow's milk. Due to the higher concentrations of calcium in cow's milk versus tempeh, however, four servings of tempeh were needed to bring the total amount of calcium absorbed from tempeh up to the same level as the total amount of calcium absorbed from fresh cow's milk. Still, the excellent bioavailability of calcium from tempeh was am important research finding in this study, since many women (as well as men) would benefit from increased intake of calcium from non-dairy foods, and tempeh clearly performed very well as a calcium source in this study.

Tempeh is a food made from soybeans. While not as popular in the United States as tofu, it is still a great example of how a simple food like soybeans can be woven into human food traditions in a way that is natural, inexpensive, and nourishing.

紅毛榴槤

千萬要知道這個水果是癌症天敵！科學家證實它的營養效果比化療強大10000倍！原來它就是....



不須農藥和化學肥料的天然果樹

刺果番荔枝（學名：Annona muricata），俗稱紅毛榴槤，在巴西被稱為graviola，在西班牙文被稱為guanabana，直接英譯中文為「刺果番荔枝」。因為其果實可媲美東南亞的榴槤，日本人稱它為「果皇」。刺果番荔枝是目前少數不須噴灑農藥刺果番荔枝，也不須使用化學肥料的天然有機果樹之一。

1.攻擊癌細胞，是安全和有效自然療法，不會有噁心、體重減輕和脫髮。
2.保護患者的免疫係統，避免致命的感染。
3.整個治療過程中感覺更強壯，更健康。
4.提高患者的能量和人生觀。

除了癌症補救，刺果番荔枝也是一種廣泛使用的抗菌劑，對細菌和真菌感染有很大的療效。刺果番荔枝粉是國外許多野外科學探險考察活動中，不可缺少的必備品。

刺果番荔枝營養極其豐富，果肉中含有豐富的維化命C、B1和B2，以及很多人體所需的物質。豐富的維生素C，具有降血糖的功效，是最佳的抗氧化水果，能夠有效延緩肌膚衰老，美白肌膚。

不過，大部分研究都只提及莖和葉，果實還是不要長期食用。英國醫界提醒，過量食用刺果番荔枝果實，可能會損害神經，而出現帕金森氏症。此外，長期低血壓和孕婦都不宜食用。

This Is What Happens When You Eat 5 Walnuts And Wait 4 Hours

New research shows that eating a handful of nuts a day provides immediate protection against heart disease. Regular intake would provide permanent protection. Researchers also found a significant improvement in cholesterol levels and flexibility of blood vessels, which helps good blood flow, just 4 hours after people ate nuts or nut oil.

Research shows that regular consumption of walnuts can protect your from cardiovascular diseases.

“And only by consuming a handful of walnuts or walnut oil for four days in a week you can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease,” said Dr. Penny Kris Eterton, professor of nutrition at Penn State University in Pennsylvania.

This study is the first to identify the part of walnuts that provides the greatest health benefits. And only by eating three tablespoons (51 g) of walnut oil you can improve the condition of your blood vessels in 4 hours.

Walnut oil proved to be especially good for the integrity of endothelial cells. It is the cells that line the blood vessels and play an important role in their flexibility.

含花青素的健康面包

面包是世界各地许多人的主食之一，然而它最大的问题是里头的淀粉易被人体迅速分解成葡萄糖，导致血糖飙升，较不适合糖尿病患者长期且大量食用。

本地研究人员发现，若在面包添加一种从黑米、紫米、黑莓等食材提取的天然植物成分，不但有助减缓面包淀粉成分在体内消化的速度，它的抗氧化特性也有助降低患上心血管相关疾病的风险，让普罗大众在享用面包美味滋味的同时，也能吃得更健康。

新加坡国立大学理学院食品科学技术学科博士学位毕业生隋晓楠博士昨天在记者会上解释，一些蔬果植物如蓝莓、黑莓、黑米、紫米等都有一种名为花青素（anthocyanins）的天然色素成分。

一些研究发现花青素的抗氧化特性有助降低公众患上心血管疾病甚至是癌症的风险。

包括隋晓楠在内的研究小组在食品科学技术学科主任周维彪教授的带领下，耗时1年研究发现，当将适量花青素加入面包内一起烘烤，这一成分的抗氧化特性不但能大幅度保留，花青素更有助减缓面包淀粉在人体内遭消化的速度，有助糖尿病患者更好地控制血糖。

周维彪说：“我们的研究发现，当我们将1％从黑米中提取的花青素放入一般面粉团内，并用200℃烤制8分钟，实验结果显示，消化此特制面包的速度会比消化一般白面包的速度减缓12.8％；消化加入2％花青素的特制面包，速度会减缓14.1％，若是加入4％花青素，消化速度则会减缓20.5％。”

“不过有鉴于加入太多花青素有可能导致面包出现干涩生硬的口感，因此，我们建议只加入2％的花青素。”

周维彪指出，根据数据推算，他们相信特质面包的高升糖指数（glycemic index）应该属于中等水平，白面包一般属于高升糖指数的偏高水平。

“为了进一步证实这一点，接下来我们有意展开临床测试，以测量人们吃了特质面包后的具体高升糖指数。接下来的另一研究方向是了解花青素与慢性疾病预防之间有哪些直接的关联。”
