"Going Bananas"

Received this interesting article in my mail ...thank you to the sender and the originator..

Tauke pisang ..apa lagi...

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression "going bananas" is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.


Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology inAustria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips.. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady..

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance.. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

Fundamental Financial Planning.Menabung...Dulu-dulu

My late father's pocket diary recording his financial management

I came from a small income family.I treasured my late father's financial tracking. My father kept his income and expenses records in his small pocket diary.I still treasured my late father's diaries..I have his collection from year 1956 to 1962.At that time the monthly income was only about RM100 and the daily expenses was only about RM1.25 ~ RM2.50.My father still managed to support my mum full-time housewife and seven children and brought us up to where we are now.

The diary the year that I was born

The expenses made on the day I was born -$25

I love you Abah.... & Emak...

Al Fatihah to my late father Allahyarham Hj Azahari bin Hj TalibMy father's photo in his 1960 diary

We started with stamp books from the post office.I was introduced this when I was still small.This was way back 40-50 years ago.Once the book was full..RM10 or RM20..then we could transfer to Buku Simpanan Pejabat Pos.We were proud to have the savings book.

We also kept our small coins 5 sen, 10 sen in Tabung Buluh, then tabung ayam - we have to break this when it was full..to transfer to the savings book.When I was in the primary school my pocket money was only 10sen. If I did not spend it I kept it in my tabung.My mother kept the daily pocket money in the bottle where we take ourselves but we were disciplined that we only take 10sen per day.

When we wanted to have extra income, we sell sweets, asam boi ,buah jambu bol, buah kemang and before Raya we weaved ketupat .We had our regular customers who purchased from us.

When I was in the secondary school I was lucky to be awarded the Biasiswa Dato' Onn and since then I have my own pocket money..I can't remember how much but it was sufficient even to buy baju raya.

I often participated in the newspaper competition and won a few hundred ringgit and books.Hey..upto now I was always lucky to have won a few lucky draws. Oh..i should participate the cross word puzzle...who knows I am still lucky

Alhamdulillah after MCE I was awarded with JPA scholarship and studied overseas. It was sufficient for our expenses and with proper financial management I could even travel around Europe at an early age ~ 18yrs old

I still practiced 'jimat cermat' ..at least 10% of income for saving when I started working by contributing 5% of my salary to Koperasi Jimat Cermat and 5% in ASN ..if and when I have extra it was just in my savings account.

With proper budgeting ..allocation for parents, meals, transport, personal expenses , at times I can even support my loved ones...

After about 8months working and after I have got my driving license, I managed to purchase my first car..Mitsubishi Tredia.
