Breaking the Diet Myths

In the book The Miracle of Enzyme, Prof. Hiromi Shinya diet deconstruct myths that have been rooted in the community. Of the many records of food that is not recommended, Prof. Shinya more emphasis on milk and all its derivatives, such as yogurt, cheese, and whatever material is dominant milk. Almost in all the chapters, there is always a discussion that the milk was not well taken.

On page 41, Prof. Shinya recorded myths wrong. First, eat yogurt every day to improve digestive function. Yogurt is milk made through bacterial fermentation. Raw materials remain milk. Any milk, including soy milk. But now dominated by modern production of cow's milk.

Yogurt comes from the fermentation of milk sugar (lactose) produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to produce a gel-like texture and smell unique on yogurt. Drinks are usually blended with creamy vanilla or coklet. As a food made ​​from milk, Prof. Shinya definitely not recommended.

Second, drink milk every day to avoid calcium deficiency. Third, fill your daily need for vitamin supplements rather than fruit because fruit contains a lot of carbohydrates and calories. Fourth, never eat carbs like rice and bread to avoid weight gain.

Fifth, try to maintain a high protein intake. Sixth, get the fluids by drinking Japanese green tea, rich in antioxidants. Seventh, Boil tap water before drinking it to get rid of the remnants of chlorine. That is a myth that has been settled in the minds and hearts of the people. Even in the world.

Therefore, Prof. Shinya does not recommend drinking milk and eating meat derivatives and limits. In addition, he also suggested that eating mostly whole grains and vegetables. Ideal food, according to his version, 15% of animal, vegetable remaining 85% of the meat alias fields. In addition to food composition, he was also asked to pay attention to eating such techniques should be chewed 33 times and eat something delicious, so bring excitement.

Prof. Shinya then made ​​four specific suggestions. First, drink water instead of tea. Second, use the tea leaves are grown organically. Third, drink tea after a meal instead of on an empty stomach to avoid excessive pressure on the stomach lining. Fourth, limit yourself to about 2-3 cups of tea per day only. Drinking water and tea no doubt benefit. Many health experts recommend that we eat a lot.

Healthy eating recipes ala Prof. Dr. Shinya's got a lot of conformity to a healthy way of life of Prophet Muhammad. There are some teachings of the Prophet Muhammad about healthy living. First, the Prophet Muhammad taught fasting to rest the digestive tract. The Prophet said,'' shuumu tashihu'' (fasted then you will be healthy).

Second, the Prophet taught to chew food at least 33 times before swallowing. As his saying,'' I chew each mouthful of food 30-50 times, so it becomes soft and through the esophagus without difficulty. In fact, the difficult to digest foods properly, I was chewing up 70-75 times.'' If not chewed properly, some of the food will be wasted without absorption and decay occurs that produces a lot of toxins in the colon. That is spending large amounts of enzymes. Saliva is an automatic out when chewing can be either mixed with stomach acid and bile. Then the digestion process can be more smoothly.

Third, the Prophet did not reproach food. As contained in the hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim. From Abu Hurairah ra he said,'' the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam did not criticize the food. If he likes the food, so he ate it. If he does not like, then he left.''

Not denounce food means someone likes it and appreciate food. Happy mood when taking them. And, if his heart is glad and happy thoughts, there was a mechanism in the body that could make the enzyme-parent increases. A happy, says Prof. Shinya, will most likely have a lot of enzyme base. Curing, means providing motivation for the patient to feel completely happy.

'' If you start a cycle of happiness, the enzyme in large quantities will be produced. Enzymes are then positively stimulate the cells throughout the body. Indeed, an enzyme produced by the cycle of happiness is what is behind the screen, which activates the healing powers of a person,'' said Prof Shinya in the book.

So it makes sense that the diet should not torture yourself. It should not be making such a prisoner. Do not eat this, do not eat it, that just makes the stress. However, it should try to love food diet with a vengeance. Therefore, happiness and love will increase the body's enzyme factor. Miracles come from here. Tips Prof Shinya simple:'' Sing, laugh, and take time each day to be appreciated!''

Fourth, when the food was served in a hot state, do not be in a hurry to enjoy it. Allow food to cool down first. From the health side, the food was hot is not good for your health. And as a Muslim, the suggestion of eating cold food already given by the Prophet Muhammad, and we are obliged to comply. This tesirat in the following hadith:

Of Asma 'bint Abu Bakr radi' anha, when he makes his bread Tsarid then cover the bread with something until the heat is gone. Then he said,'' I heard the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,'' Actually it greater blessings.''

Fifth, it is no exaggeration. Prophet Muhammad said,'' Let the descendants of Adam did not fulfill his belly. Suffice it for the descendants of Adam are some foods that can enforce his loins bone. If there is no obstruction, one third (stomach) for his food, one third for his drink and one third for his breath (HR Turmudzi).

Overeating invite danger, such as indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, obesity, gout, liver disease, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and clots and blood clotting.

Overeating can also cause acute inflammation of the pancreas and bile, diabetes mellitus, and even kidney stones. It is true what the doctor says Arab, al-Harith ibn Kaldah,'' Stomach is a hotbed of disease, and diet (regular diet) is the main drug.''

However, lack of eating too dangerous. Among impact on stunting body, mind, anemia, weak immune system, and anemia.

By relying on the sunna of the Prophet, we get the basics right for eating and drinking. First, eat and drink in moderation. Rasulullah SAW said,'' The faithful eat the size of the intestine while infidels eating size seven intestines.

Sixth, Prohibition of alcohol and pork, all unclean meat, carrion, blood, with fangs all kinds of animals, and all kinds of birds that have claws ..

Seventh, the prohibition of eating beef, mutton, and so are classified jallaalah (animals are often consuming excrement). Ibn Umar said that the Messenger of Allah forbade jallaalah and milk produced by jallaalah. (HR Turmudzi).

Eighth, recommends eating lots of fruits. Therefore, it is much beneficial than homemade pastries. Besides being easily digested, fruits also supply nutrients that can protect the body from certain deficiencies. Prophet Muhammad said,'' The house without dates is like a house without food.'' Also narrated that the Prophet ate cucumbers with ripe palm. (Abu Dawud).

So, the key is diet, eating techniques, halal and good food (halalan thoyyiban). Therefore, halal food substance, not necessarily good for the health.

But that alone is not enough. Neither Prophet Muhammad nor Prof. Shinya strongly encourages adequate rest and exercise regularly. And, no less important than that all is life full of optimism and positive thinking. This is the example of the Prophet and the substance of the teachings of The Miracle of this enzyme.
