This morning I saw a neighbor cock a difficult walk, his legs stiff, and the way such as forced, I tried over and the cock did not flee, surrender quietly arrested.  After I noticed, that cock looks healthy and fresh, the cock owner neighbor later told me, that the cock had just recovered from the " paralysis " because they never removed from the cage, cock it does look manly and fierce, according to its owner, like pecking at their feet passing nearby, and often make noise if there is a passing cat or dog. I was stunned; Cemani cock is great too huh? Cemani cock is a big cock and black all over his body, believed to have efficacy and is often used traditional ceremonies associated with magic.  Wow, really scary...

Turmeric

Seeing what happened, I then recalled that during childhood, the incidence of paralytic foot cock I've also experienced, my brother happened to have a cock that fierce, and paralyzed his legs due to often locked up in cages.  Uniquely, the cock leg could heal and recover faster with the grated turmeric smeared.  At that time I did not realize, the content of what is in the turmeric until cock is able to make it heal?

When I was in high school, I also ever found my friends and teachers who like to chew turmeric in school, they said; turmeric may relieve abdominal pain due to stomach ulcers, that is namely; stomach ache due to eating late, so the stomach acid make hurt stomach and stung if late meal.  Likewise when my wife gave birth, my mother -in-law always make turmeric water mixed with honey as a great nutritious drink for my wife, she said, honey turmeric water that can make wounds heal faster after giving birth and her uterus back to normal.

Flax seeds plant and its components

Hello blogger friend

This time I 'll share a little about the flax seed, in our area of Jakarta, flax seed is widely known through its oil, and little is known more in flax seeds for food.  Such as olive oil or wheat oil, flax seed is used for skin rejuvenation, but it is also good material for processed foods

Flax Seeds Capsule

Flax seeds come in two basic varieties: (1) brown; and (2) yellow or golden. Flax seeds produce a vegetable oil known as flaxseed or linseed oil, which is one of the oldest commercial oils, and solvent-processed flax seed oil has been used for centuries as a drying oil in painting and varnishing. One hundred grams of ground flax seed supplies about 450 kilocalories, 41 grams of fat, 28 grams of fiber, and 20 grams of protein. Flax seed sprouts are edible, with a slightly spicy flavor. 

Excessive consumption of flax seeds with inadequate water can cause bowel obstruction. Ground flax seeds can go rancid at room temperature in as little as one week. Even after storage under conditions similar to those found in commercial bakeries, trained sensory panelists could not detect differences between bread made with freshly ground flax and bread made with ground flax stored for four months at room temperature. Ground flax is remarkably stable to oxidation when stored for nine months at room temperature and for 20 months at ambient temperatures under warehouse conditions. 

The three main components in flax seeds and its benefits:

Flax Seeds Biji Rami

(1) Fiber, flax seeds contain fiber, both soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.  

(2) Lignans, flax seeds contain 75-800 times more lignans than other plant foods.  Lignans are phytoestrogens that can increase levels of good estrogen such as estradiol, which protect women from heart disease, bone loss, and vaginal dryness.  Research has discovered other benefits of lignans, which is able to prevent hair loss and acne, keeping cholesterol and blood sugar balanced, and also acts as antioxidants.  Hemp oil contains small amounts of lignans.  

(3) omega-3 fatty acids (good fats that are useful to maintain a healthy heart), One tablespoon of flax seed that has been smoothed contains about 1.8 grams of omega -3 plant.  The content of omega - 3 and omega - 6 in flax seeds oil can reduce inflammation and are used to restore skin elasticity, and oil from hemp seed can also overcome the problem of acne and psoriasis.  Plus, the content of antioxidants present in it actively prevents skin cancer and softens the skin dry again due to aging, as in the area around the eyes and mouth.
