Empurau : The Most expensive fish in Malaysia

I received this article from a friend via e-mail :
Perhaps ikan kembong goreng crispy with sambal belacan good enough for us poor??
Or perhaps a good Tilapia or a Patin would taste better!!

A Fish Fit for the King
This is the most expensive fish in Malaysia and is only found in Sarawak. It's called the Empurau Fish and it cost RM 500.00 per kilogram. I (definitely not me, the writer) tasted the fish only once at my friend's restaurant in Selayang Jaya. Never tasted fresh water fish that good..

The picture was taken from Photo Malaysia by one of the photographers and he said that the fish weighs 25 kilograms so it means that fish costs RM12,500.00 in the market.

You may say it's crazy, but in Japan, some tunas cost a few hundred thousand dollars. And yes there are people still willing to pay for such delicacies.

Eggs...Can You Really Eat Them?

Adapted from :  http://eatwellenjoylife.com/holistic-lifestyle  For years we have been told to stop eating eggs. Why?Americans are often recommended to eat a low cholesterol diet to lower their cholesterol levels and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease. Eggs have gotten a bad rap in the past because they are considered to be a high cholesterol food due to the cholesterol content of the yolk. But now they are discovering something entirely different. LDL and HDL Over time, research started to differentiate between HDL (high density lipoprotein) and LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol. HDL is known as "good cholesterol" because it protects against heart attacks, while LDL is known as "bad cholesterol" because it creates plaque that can clog arteries, contributing to heart attack and stroke. Research has shown that there are different types of LDL cholesterol, not all of which are responsible for clogging arteries. In some people egg cholesterol promotes the formation of large LDL cholesterol particles, which are better than small LDL particles and do not cause plaque formation (narrowing in blood vessels). The NHANES III observational study evaluated over 27,000 people and found that people who ate 4 or more eggs per week had significantly lower cholesterol levels than people who ate less than one egg per week. Today even though we Americans have cut our egg consumption in half there has not been a decline in heart disease. Eggs Are A Near Perfect Food The yolk contains lecithin, which aids in fat assimilation. Eggs actively raise the level of HDL and they have the most perfect protein components of any food. Besides providing all eight essential protein building amino acids, a large whole, fresh egg offers about six to seven grams of protein and five grams of fat (with about 1.5 grams of it saturated), which comes in handy to help in the absorption of all the egg's fat-soluble vitamins. One egg also serves up around 200 milligrams of brain-loving cholesterol and contains the valuable vitamins A, K, E, D, B-complex and minerals iron, phosphorus, potassium and calcium. Eggs are an ancient food. Man has always eaten the eggs of all animals that produced them: chicken, duck, goose, turtles. Additionally, eggs are a wonderful source of nutrition and can greatly strengthen your health. Eggs provide a vital source of protein, vitamin A, vitamin D, folic acid, phosphorus, sulfur, and the adrenal-building minerals: choline, sodium, and potassium. Health Benefits of Eggs Keep your brain healthy. Choline is an important nutrient found in egg yolks that is required by the body to keep cell membranes normal and healthy as they function.Choline, another egg-nutrient, is a fatty substance found in every living cell and is a major component of our brain. Additionally, choline helps break up cholesterol deposits by preventing fat and cholesterol from sticking to the arteries. So the bottom line is, don't be chicken about eating eggs, especially the cholesterol-rich yolks! Prevent Alzheimer's disease. Phosphatidycholine is a nutrient in eggs essential for concentration, attention, and retaining information in the memory to ultimately prevent Alzheimer's disease. Improve heart health. Homocysteine is a substance in the body that can damage the blood vessels and leave you at risk for heart disease. Luckily, the choline found in eggs will convert homocysteine into harmless material. Eggs can alsodecrease your risk for heart attacks and strokethanks to the anti-clotting agent found in yolks. Enhance your vision. The lutein found in eggs can help prevent macular degeneration.Egg yolks are the richest source of two superstar carotenoids-lutein and zeaxanthin. Not only are bright yellow yolks loaded with these fat-soluble antioxidant nutrients, they are more bioavailable than those found in vegetables, corn and most supplements. Aid in fat assimilation. Eggs yolks contain lecithin to help break down fats. So don't be chicken about eating eggs, especially the cholesterol-rich yolks! Eating Healthy Eggs It is extremely important to get eggs from a farm where the chickens are free to roam and not fed any antibiotics or chemicals. Without a doubt, fresh, pastured eggs are superior in taste and nutrition to conventionally raised commercially available varieties. Unfortunately, commercial chicken farms today pack 500,000 animals into close quarters where they feed them genetically modified (GM) grains and emphasize production over health, not to mention the inhumanity of it. These conditions create sick chickens that lay sick eggs. You don't ever want to eat these poor quality eggs anyway. They may not be contaminated with salmonella, but the eggs aren't fit to eat. Commercial eggs have much lower levels of essential omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients. ******** The best way to prepare eggs is "over easy" (with a soft runny yolk) in organic coconut oil. You never want to overcook proteins, or they become difficult to digest. In spite of the popular myth that egg white omelets are good for you, the yellow yolk has the most valuable nutrition and is easier to digest than the white. It is best to combine eggs with lots of alkaline vegetables (especially fermented) and some Celtic sea salt to balance their acidic nature. If you find eggs difficult to digest try eating them with cultured vegetables and only the yolk. Once you have built up your inner ecosystem, many foods you could not eat before will be well tolerated and you can starting eating them again.

Don't Wash Fruits With Salt

Using salt to wash fruits and vegetables is worse.

Salt is sodium chloride. Therefore, washing fruits and vegetables with salt will make pesticides more stable. Fruits and vegetables should be washed with water first, then clean with water again by adding a little low gluten flour (or starch). This will remove the pesticides. 

A test done in the Inspection Agency pointed out: salt compound will stabilize pesticides. It is better off to let the vegetables sit at room temperature for half a day, then rinse with water. The advertisement "Washing vegetables with salt is healthy" is incorrect.
A teacher at the Food Engineering Department said: salt makes pesticides more stable due to chemical bonds. Pesticide residues in vegetables will be locked in. Therefore, pesticides in vegetables should be removed by rinsing with water several times. Do not add salt to wash vegetables ......!
In one nutrition class, Professor of Medicine in Taipei (now also a hospital clinical dietitian), has strong criticism of the misleading ads and wonder why no one ever stop it. Disclosure of such inaccurate information happened quite often, but no action was taken to stop it.... She hopes the public can have accurate medical knowledge.

WASABI Is Kidney & Liver-Killer

Also found the following info in a Japan-guide website.

Wasabi is Japanese horseradish. It is most famous in form of a green paste used as condiment for sashimi (raw seafood) and sushi. However, wasabi is also used for many other Japanese dishes.
Wasabi is a root vegetable that is grated into a green paste. In supermarkets, wasabi is widely available as a paste or in powder form. Wasabi powder has to be mixed with water to become a paste. Wasabi has a strong, hot flavour which dissipates within a few seconds and leaves no burning aftertaste in one's mouth.

Many "wasabi" powder and paste products that are available in supermarkets (and even some restaurants) contain only very little or no real wasabi at all and are made of coloured horseradish instead. This is due to the fact that cultivation of real wasabi is relatively difficult and expensive.
WASABI generally is : 90% chemical products!

喜歡吃壽司的朋友要注意了！

The WASABI generally used contains 90% harmful chemical products!

The real WASABI is in huge demand. Since the raw WASABI plant is in shortage and the labor costs to make WASABI is very high,the WASABI generally is : 90% chemical products!


你的肝腎夠好到可以吃有害WASABI(哇沙必)嗎?
~90%WASABI(哇沙必) is 多為CHEMICAL化學製品，多食傷Kidney-Liver-Killer 肝腎!!


調查中心╱台北報導 現在的哇沙必，有很多是不明成分的化學合成物，
因為真正的山葵產量少-價格高，甚至連5星級飯店都不保證用天然山葵，
這種化學哇沙必部分含有重金屬，雖然沒有超過標準，但醫師提醒不要多吃。
走到傳統漁市場，一陣嗆味撲鼻而來，仔細一看，原來是賣生魚片的攤位在調
哇沙必，
老闆娘說她用的是山葵粉，因為這種粉便宜又大碗，50元/包，
就可以調成好幾百小包，一般市場小吃店甚至餐廳都喜歡用山葵粉，
只是用粉調出來的沾醬，為什麼味道特別濃嗆？

這裡頭到底含有什麼成分？
記者一路追蹤到食品行，結果店家給的答案很驚人。
業者表示：「我是怕說這會加化學的東西，加減都會，我們說實話，
因為它這種東西有加工過，妳聽得懂我的意思嗎？」
雖然外包裝上標示裡頭的內容物有山葵、香料以及合成色素，不過專家質疑，
這根本就是化學合成的哇沙必，因為台灣的山葵是不可能冷凍乾燥做成粉。
師大化學教授吳家誠指出：
「它裡面的標示只標示出原料，並沒有告訴我們實際上是什麼化學成分，
它很可能用這些原料，當然實際上要摻一些這種化學的這個成分，
才會得到它這種有哇沙米辛辣的那種味道。」
記者拿[山葵][粉]去化驗，結果檢驗出重金屬成分有銅鉛以及砷等，
到底真假哇沙必要怎麼分辨？
其實很簡單，一滴碘酒就可以知道答案。
生化博士陳耀寬指出：
「我們調和好之後，拿家裡用的碘酒滴一滴在上面，經過 一兩 分鐘，
這個褐色的碘酒，如果變成[藍黑色]的，表示它裡面有澱粉成分存在，
那就是說它是用丙烯芥子油加上澱粉，混合而成的假哇沙必。」
化學合成哇沙必顏色鮮綠、味道濃嗆，
[純天然的顏色比較淡]，半小時之後，香辣味就會消失，滴上碘酒也不容易變色。
至於山葵粉中的重金屬含量，長庚毒物科主任林杰樑強調，雖然重金屬含量
符合標準，但是肝腎不好的人，最好少碰，以免造成身體的負擔

33 Uses For “Baby” Wipes That Have Nothing To Do With Babies!

Why do we call them “baby wipes” anyway? Shouldn’t they just be called WIPES?

Have you ever noticed how much “real estate” is dedicated to baby wipes at your local Walmart or your local grocery store? It’s pretty impressive. But so are all the ways I discovered people are USING these handy little helpers.

6 AirPurifying House Plants according to NASA

In addition to the dangerous chemicals used to make carpets, couches, paint and dry wall, our homes can be filled with chemicals from everyday household items and products. Things like pressed wood, facial tissue, paper towels, plastic and rubber (to name a few) also frequently contain traces of chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene.
NASA once partnered with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) to investigate which household plants best act as natural air purifiers and found 15 common plants that effectively improve air quality. 

Based on ease-of-care, attainability, appearance and effectiveness, here are our top six air purifying plants.

1. Bamboo Palm: According to NASA, it removes formaldahyde and is also said to act as a natural humidifier.
2. Snake Plant: Found by NASA to absorb nitrogen oxides and formaldahyde.
3. Areca Palm: One of the best air purifying plants for general air cleanliness.
4. Spider Plant: Great indoor plant for removing carbon monoxide and other toxins or impurities. Spider plants are one of three plants NASA deems best at removing formaldahyde from the air.
5. Peace Lily: Peace lilies could be called the “clean-all.” They’re often placed in bathrooms or laundry rooms because they’re known for removing mold spores. Also know to remove formaldahyde and trichloroethylene.
6. Gerbera Daisy: Not only do these gorgeous flowers remove benzene from the air, they’re known to improve sleep by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off more oxygen over night.

Recipes for a Green Clean

Let's go GREEN with affordable and non-toxic cleaner. Thanks to http://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/recipes-for-a-green-clean/

Homemade Glass Cleaner

Using isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar together makes a quickly evaporating spray glass and mirror cleaner that competes with national brands. This formula can also be used to give a nice shine to hard tiles, chrome, and other surfaces.If you use old newspaper to wipe your windows and mirrors, you’ll have the ultimate eco-friendly, streak-free shine!
1 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol
1 cup water
1 Tbsp. vinegar

Mix together in a reusable spray bottle.

All-Purpose Disinfectant
2 tsp. borax
1/4 cup vinegar
3-4 cups hot water
15 drops tea tree oil
Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle and mix well.
For extra cleaning power, add 1/4 tsp. liquid soap to the mixture.

Tub and Tile Scrub
1-2/3 cup baking soda
1/2 cup liquid soap
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp. vinegar
Mix all ingredients, adding the vinegar after the other ingredients are well mixed. (if you add the vinegar too early it will react with the baking soda).
Immediately apply, wipe and scrub.

Toilet Cleaner
1 cup of borax
1/4 cup vinegar
Pour both borax and vinegar into the toilet before going to bed. In the morning, scrub and flush.

Furniture Polish
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
Mix into a bowl or spray bottle, and polish furniture with a soft cloth.
Wipe dry with another cloth.

Laundry Enhancers
To brighten laundry, add one half cup of strained lemon juice during the rinse cycle.
For a fabric rinse, add one quarter cup white vinegar during the washing machine’s rinse cycle to remove detergent completely from clothes.
To reduce the amount of laundry detergent you need to use, add baking soda or washing soda. These minerals soften the water, which increases the detergent’s power. For liquid detergent, add one half cup soda at the beginning of the wash. For powdered detergent, add one half cup soda during the rinse cycle.

Hear what the guru says

Defeat is not final, until you stop trying.

"Jin Ji Du Li" EXERCISE

SIMPLE, BUT EFFECTIVE EXERCISE 

The essence of the exercise is that your "Eyes Must be Closed" when you are doing this exercise. You must practice the "Jin Ji Du Li" exercise with the eyes closed. This exercise was so simple and amazing that I thought I had to share it here.Here is the exercise:
Stand on one leg while your eyes are closed. That is all. Just try it right now, stop reading and stand up, close your eyes and try standing on one foot.If you are not able to stand for less than 10 seconds, it means that your body has degenerated to 60 to 70 years old level in other words, you may be only 40 years old, but your body has aged a lot faster.I myself & my husband tried this exercise when I read the mail. I thought “No, big deal, I’m sure we all can do this easily”. I was fooling myself, I’m glad I tried it because I discovered much to my surprise that while both of us could stand easily on one foot with our eyes open, trying the same thing with our eyes closed was another story! We just couldn’t keep our balance for more than two to three seconds before we started wobbling and hopping around.

You do not need to lift your leg high, if your internal organs are out of synch, even lifting your leg this bit will make you wobble.These Chinese are really very advanced in their knowledge of the human body. It was very heartening to know that frequent and regular practice can help you recover your sense of balance. In fact Chinese specialists suggest daily practice of Jin Ji Du Li for 1 minute, this helps prevent dementia/ FORGETFULNESS. You can try slightly closing both eyes while practicing Jin Ji Du Li, instead of completely closing them; in fact this is what the health specialist Zhong Li Ba Ren recommends.

Daily practice of Jin Ji Du Li, can help in healing many illnesses or diseases like

Hypertension,
High Blood Sugar or diabetes,
Neck and Spinal diseases,
it can also prevent you from getting dementia.
Zhong Li Ba Ren has written a book titled "Self Help is Better than Seeking Doctors' Help", which is a bestselling book that has been the best seller health book in China since it was first published last year. Its success can be measured by the fact that it has been reprinted 12 times within 6 months, with more than 1 million copies sold. The book is a hot seller because is it teaches many simple practical health tips.It is said that according to the understanding of Chinese physicians, diseases appear in the body because the co-ordination between the various internal organs encounter problems and that causes the body to lose its balance. Jin Ji Du Li can readjust this inter-relationship of the organs and how they function with each other. Zhong Li Ba Ren statedthat many people can't stand on one foot with their eyes closed for even 5 seconds, but later on as they practice it daily, are able to stand for more than 2 minutes.

As you gain ability to stand for longer time, the feeling of "head heavy, light feet” disappears. As benefits or practising Jin Ji Du Li, you will experience that the quality of sleep improves, the mind clears up and memory improves significantly. Most importantly if you can practice Jin Ji Du Li with your eyes closed for 1 minute every day, you will not get dementia.

Don't Use Dryer Blowers in Public Toilets !

 
Everyone in the cleaning industry has always been told that hand dryers in restrooms are not sanitary, they spread germs and bacteria around. I always thought that this just came from the paper companies because they are loosing sales to the hand dryers.

Hand dryers blow a lot of germs and bacteria around. You should take a look under the hand dryer next time you are in a restroom. There is a filter underneath the hand dryer that is supposed to be cleaned on a weekly basis. After checking,  it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. It had layers and layers of caked on gunk (disgusting).

Additionally, most of the older hand dryers in use (and even some of the newer ones) have an internal screen that should be changed every 1-2 weeks. Unfortunately, most are lucky if they are changed every 1-2 years. This sad reality is not only is a waste of energy, but also keeps more bacteria, germs, and viruses trapped in the dust on the screens, which then is blown directly onto our hands when we dry them. Since then I will not use hand dryers in restrooms. Now this is where the story gets really interesting.

Every time you use an air dryer, the amount of bacteria on your hands increases by 254% and on the finger pads by 194%.

The schools and universities that have had the H1N1 (swine flu) outbreak recent years are being told by the health department that they have to take out all of their hand dryers and replace them with towel dispensers because the hand dryers are spreading disease.

**Please pass this along so everyone knows not to use hand dryers.

Symptoms and Signs of Heart Attack

Cinnamon and Honey the only food you need.

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. What it will do is what some call 'turning to sugar'. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize". When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply it on bread instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, when they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.

ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients may take daily (morning and night) one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it.. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from its root.
GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that when Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacterial and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts.. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals

INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of boiling water to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

RASPY OR SORE THROAT: When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until gone.. Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.

PIMPLES: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it off the next morning with warm water.. When done daily for two weeks, it removes all pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin Infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:Daily in the morning one half hour before
breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder three times a day for one month.

FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M.., the vitality of the body increases within a week.

BAD BREATH: People of South America, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water first thing in the morning so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!
