particularly rich in dietary fiber and essential fatty acids and contains
significant quantities of starch, protein, vitamins, dietary
minerals and phytic acid, which is an antinutrient
that prevents nutrient absorption.
Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling process (the conversion of brown rice to white rice), and it contains various antioxidants that impart beneficial effects on human health.[2] A major rice bran fraction contains 12%-13% oil and highly unsaponifiable components (4.3%).[citation needed] This fraction contains tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E), gamma-oryzanol and beta-sitosterol; all these constituents may contribute to the lowering of the plasma levels of the various parameters of the lipid profile. Rice bran also contains a high level of dietary fibres (beta-glucan, pectin and gum). In addition, it also contains ferulic acid, which is also a component of the structure of nonlignified cell walls. However, some research suggests there are levels of inorganic arsenic (a toxin and carcinogen) present in rice bran. One study found the levels to be 20% higher than in drinking water.[3] Other types of bran (derived from wheat, oat or barley) contain less arsenic than rice bran, and are just as nutrient rich.[4]

Nutritional information
Sprouts are said to be rich in
digestible energy, bioavailable vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and phytochemicals, as these are necessary for a
germinating plant to grow.[3]These
nutrients are essential for human health. The nutritional changes upon
germination & sprouting are summarised below.
Chavan
and Kadam (1989) {{[4] }} concluded that - “The desirable
nutritional changes that occur during sprouting are mainly due to the breakdown
of complex compounds into a more simple form, transformation into essential
constituents and breakdown of nutritionally undesirable constituents.”
“The
metabolic activity of resting seeds increases as soon as they are hydrated
during soaking. Complex biochemical changes occur during hydration and
subsequent sprouting. The reserve chemical constituents, such as protein,
starch and lipids, are broken down by enzymes into simple compounds that are
used to make new compounds.”
“Sprouting
grains causes increased activities of hydrolytic enzymes, improvements in the
contents of total proteins, fat, certain essential amino acids, total sugars,
B-group vitamins, and a decrease in dry matter, starch and anti-nutrients. The
increased contents of protein, fat, fibre and total ash are only apparent and
attributable to the disappearance of starch. However, improvements in amino
acid composition, B-group vitamins, sugars, protein and starch digestibilities,
and decrease in phytates and protease inhibitors[disambiguation needed]are
the metabolic effects of the sprouting process.”
Increases
in Protein Quality Chavan
and Kadam (1989)[citation
needed] stated
- “Very complex qualitative changes are reported to occur during soaking and
sprouting of seeds. The conversion of storage proteins of cereal grains into
albumins and globulins during sprouting may improve the quality of cereal
proteins. Many studies have shown an increase in the content of the amino acid
Lysine with sprouting.”
“An
increase in proteolytic activity during sprouting is desirable for nutritional
improvement of cereals because it leads to hydrolysis of prolamins and the
liberated amino acids such as glutamic and proline are converted to limiting
amino acids such as lysine.”
Increases
in Crude Fibre content Cuddeford
(1989)[citation
needed], based on data obtained by Peer and Leeson
(1985) {{[5]}},
stated - “In sprouted barley, crude fibre, a major constituent of cell walls,
increases both in percentage and real terms, with the synthesis of structural
carbohydrates, such as cellulose and hemicellulose”. Chung et al. (1989)[citation
needed] found
that the fibre content increased from 3.75% in unsprouted barley seed to 6% in
5-day sprouts.”

Cuddeford (1989), based on data obtained by Peer and Leeson (1985).
Increase
of protein is not due to new protein being manufactured by the germination
process but by the washing out of starch and conversion to fiber -- increasing
the relative proportion of protein.
Increases
in Essential Fatty Acids
An
increase in lipase activity has been reported in barley by MacLeod and White
(1962)[citation
needed], as cited by Chavan and Kadam (1989)[citation
needed] .
Increased lipolytic activity during germination and sprouting causes hydrolysis
of triacylglycerols to glycerol and constituent fatty acids.
Increases
in Vitamin content According
to Chavan and Kadam (1989)[citation
needed], most reports agree that sprouting
treatment of cereal grains generally improves their vitamin value, especially
the B-group vitamins. Certain vitamins such as α-tocopherol (Vitamin-E) and
β-carotene (Vitamin-A precursor) are produced during the growth process
(Cuddeford, 1989)[citation
needed] .
According
to Shipard (2005)[citation
needed] -
“Sprouts provide a good supply of Vitamins A, E & C plus B complex. Like
enzymes, vitamins serve as bioactive catalysts to assist in the digestion and
metabolism of feeds and the release of energy. They are also essential for the
healing and repair of cells. However, vitamins are very perishable, and in general,
the fresher the feeds eaten, the higher the vitamin content. The vitamin
content of some seeds can increase by up to 20 times their original value
within several days of sprouting. Mung Bean sprouts have B vitamin increases,
compared to the dry seeds, of - B1 up
285%, B2 up 515%, B3 up 256%. Even soaking seeds overnight
in water yields greatly increased amounts of B vitamins, as well as Vitamin C.
Compared with mature plants, sprouts can yield vitamin contents 30 times
higher.”
Chelation
of Minerals Shipard
(2005)[citation
needed] claims
that - “When seeds are sprouted, minerals chelate or merge with protein, in a
way that increases their function.”
It is
important to note that while these changes may sound impressive, the
comparisons are between dormant non-sprouted seed to sprouted seed rather than
comparisons of sprouts to mature vegetables. Compared to dry seeds there are
very large increases in nutrients whereas compared with mature vegetables the
increase is less. However, a sprout, just starting out in life, is likely to
need and thus have more nutrients (percentage wise) than a mature vegetable. (Wikipedia)

Benefits of Panikoorka / Indian Borage / Patta Ajavayin
Panikoorka
|
The leaves
are strongly flavoured and make an excellent addition to stuffings for meat
and poultry. Finely chopped, they can also be used to flavour meat dishes,
especially beef, lamb and game. Such use as a flavouring and its geographic
spread is indicated by some of the common names, and documented for Cambodia and South Africa It
is also used as a vegetable, for example in South East Asia. The herb is used
as a substitute for oregano in the food trade and food labelled
"oregano-flavoured" may well contain this herb.
The leaves have also had many traditional medicinal
uses, especially for the treatment of coughs, sore throats and nasal
congestion, but also for a range of other problems such as infections,
rheumatism and flatulence. The plant is cultivated in home-gardens throughout
India for use in traditional medicine, being used to treat malarial fever,
hepatopathy, renal and vesical calculi, cough, chronic asthma, hiccough,
bronchitis, helminthiasis, colic, convulsions, and epilepsy, Shenoy and others refer to further
Indian traditional medicinal uses such as for skin ulcerations, scorpion
bite, skin allergy, wounds, diarrhoea, with emphasis on the leaves being used
as ahepatoprotective, to promote liver
health. In Indonesia Plectranthus
amboinicus is a traditional
food used in soup to stimulate lactation for the month or so following
childbirth. In Cambodia[5] 2
uses are recorded: juice from the leaves is sweetened and then given to children
as protection from colds; and leaves are applied to the lips. In Bahia, Brasil,
people use the plant to treat skin lesions caused by Leishmania braziliensis.[10] Just
to the north, in Paraiba of the same country, the plant was
extremely commonly known for use in home medication.[6] As
noted above, medicinal use also occurs in Southern India, it also documented[1] in
other parts of South East Asia and
South Africa. (Wikipedia)

Benefits of Oats :
A steaming bowl of fresh cooked oatmeal is the perfect way to
start off your day, especially if you are trying to prevent or are currently
dealing with heart disease or diabetes. Oats, oat bran, and oatmeal contain a
specific type of fiber known as beta-glucan. Since 1963, study
after study has proven the beneficial effects of this special fiber on
cholesterol levels. Studies show that in individuals with high cholesterol
(above 220 mg/dl), consuming just 3 grams of soluble oat fiber per day (an
amount found in one bowl of oatmeal) typically lowers total cholesterol by
8-23%. This is highly significant since each 1% drop in serum cholesterol
translates to a 2% decrease in the risk of developing heart disease. High
cholesterol levels correlate with the build up of plaques in blood vessel
walls. If these plaques become damaged or simply grow too large, they can
rupture, blocking a blood vessel and causing a heart attack, stroke, or blood
clots elsewhere in the body. Lowering high cholesterol levels can therefore
significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine confirms
that eating high fiber foods, such as oats, helps prevent heart disease.
Almost 10,000 American adults participated in this study and were followed
for 19 years. People eating the most fiber, 21 grams per day, had 12% less
coronary heart disease (CHD) and 11% less cardiovascular disease (CVD)
compared to those eating the least, 5 grams daily. Those eating the most
water-soluble dietary fiber fared even better with a 15% reduction in risk of
CHD and a 10% risk reduction in CVD.
Unique Oat Antioxidants Reduce Risk
of Cardiovascular Disease
Oats, via their high fiber content, are already known to help
remove cholesterol from the digestive system that would otherwise end up in the
bloodstream. Now, the latest research suggests they may have another
cardio-protective mechanism.
Antioxidant compounds unique to oats, called avenanthramides,
help prevent free radicals from damaging LDL cholesterol, thus reducing the
risk of cardiovascular disease, suggests a study conducted at Tufts
University and published in The Journal of Nutrition.
In this study, laboratory animals were fed saline containing
0.25 grams of phenol-rich oat bran, after which blood samples were taken at
intervals from 20 to 120 minutes. After 40 minutes, blood concentrations of
avenanthramides had peaked, showing these compounds were bioavailable (able
to be absorbed).
Next, the researchers tested the antioxidant ability of
avenanthramides to protect LDL cholesterol against oxidation (free radical
damage) induced by copper. Not only did the avenanthramides increase the
amount of time before LDL became oxidized, but when vitamin C was added, the
oat phenols interacted synergistically with the vitamin, extending the time during
which LDL was protected from 137 to 216 minutes.
In another study also conducted at Tufts and published inAtherosclerosis,
researchers exposed human arterial wall cells to purified avenenthramides
from oats for 24 hours, and found that these oat phenols significantly suppressed
the production of several types of molecules involved in the attachment of
monocytes (immune cells in the bloodstream) to the arterial wall—the first
step in the development of atherosclerosis.
Oat avenanthamides suppressed production of ICAM-1
(intracellular adhesion molecule-1) and VCAM-1 (vascular adhesion
molecule-1), E-selectin, and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines
KL-6, chemokines IL-8 and protein MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein).
Our advice: Cut an orange (which is rich in vitamin C) in quarters or pour
yourself a glass of orange juice to enjoy along with your oatmeal. If you
prefer some other grain for your breakfast cereal, top it with a heaping
spoonful of oat bran.

The leaves are the most
nutritious part of the plant, being a significant source of B
vitamins, vitamin
C, provitamin
A as beta-carotene, vitamin K, manganese and protein, among other essential nutrients. When compared with common foods
particularly high in certain nutrients per 100 g fresh weight, cooked moringa
leaves are considerable sources of these same nutrients. Some of the calcium
in moringa leaves is bound as crystals of calcium

Prawn/Shrimp
|
Loaded with protein, vitamin D, vitamin B3, and zinc,
prawn / shrimp are an excellent, carbohydrate-free food for anyone determined
to shed off pounds. Zinc supplementation of zinc deficient subjects has been
shown to increase the levels of circulating leptin. Leptin is a hormone that
plays a key role in regulating the body's energy expenditure, fat storage,
and appetite. Insufficient leptin levels are believed to be the primary cause
of food cravings, overeating, and obsession with food. The iodine in shrimp
is good for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland which controls the
basal metabolic rate, or the rate at which the body consumes energy at rest.
Iodine deficiency can result in sluggish thyroid activity which in turn can
lead to weight gain or hinder weight loss.
Shrimp contain astaxanthin, a carotenoid that gives them their pink
color and that can act as a potent antioxidant and protect the skin from
premature aging. Also the omega-3 fatty acids in shrimp provide antioxidant
protection. The zinc shrimp boast plays an important role in the production
of new cells (including hair cells and skin cells). It also helps maintain
the oil-secreting glands on the scalp that keep hair shiny. In addition,
shrimp are a good source of copper which can help prevent hair loss,
contribute to hair thickness, and intensify hair color. (healthwithfood.org)

Wheat
(Chappathi)
|
Controls Obesity (especially in women): Wheat has a
natural ability to control weight in everyone, but this ability is more
pronounced among women. The American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition has shown through research that whole wheat, rather
than refined wheat, is a good choice for obese patients. Women who consumed
whole wheat products over long periods showed considerably more weight loss
than the others subjects. Improves body metabolism: Saturated and trans fats increase the chances of cardiovascular diseases, while omega-3 fats decrease cardiovascular disease risk. Whole grains like wheat are immensely effective on patients with metabolic disorders. Common types of metabolic syndromes include visceral obesity, also known as the “pear shaped” body, high triglycerides, low levels of protective HDL cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Wheat protects against all of these conditions. Research has shown that foods made from refined grains not only tend to increase weight but they also increase the hazards of insulin resistance. Doctors recommend eating whole wheat bread and other fiber-rich foods. The majority of fiber works to help the digestive process in the body and improve the overall metabolism. Having a whole wheat diet is probably the most effective, quick, and enjoyable way to reduce metabolic syndrome, but also to stay slim and healthy throughout your life. Prevents Type 2 Diabetes: Wheat is rich in magnesium, which is a mineral that acts as a co-factor for more than 300 enzymes. These enzymes are involved in the body’s functional use of insulin and glucose secretion. The FDA permits foods that contain whole grain by at least 51% weight and are also low in saturated fat and cholesterol, which means a lower risk of coronary ailments and certain types of cancer. Moreover, regular consumption of whole grain wheat promotes healthy blood sugar control. People who suffer from diabetes are able to keep their sugar levels under control by replacing rice with wheat in their diet. Reduces Chronic Inflammation: The betaine content of wheat is what aids in the prevention of chronic inflammation. Betaine is usually found in whole wheat, beets and spinach. Inflammation is a key constituent in most types of rheumatic pains and also some rheumatic diseases. Thus, it is a good idea to eat a healthy amount of whole wheat food products that will actively reduce inflammation. Consumption of betaine affects a number of aspects in our body chemistry that assures a lower risk of chronic inflammation and other ailments like osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline, and type-2 diabetes. Prevents Gallstones: In various surveys by the American Journal of Gastroenterology, it has been proven that breads and cereals made from whole wheat help women to avoid gallstones. Since whole wheat is rich in insoluble fiber, it assures a quick and smooth intestinal transit time and lowers the secretion of bile acids. Excessive bile acids are a major cause of gallstone formation. Moreover, a high intake of wheat increases insulin sensitivity and thereby lowers triglycerides or fat in the blood. Besides wheat, you also get insoluble fiber from the edible skins of fruits and certain vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes and squash, berries, apples, and pears. Beans also provide both insoluble and soluble fiber.Whole Grain Wheat Assures a Healthy Lifestyle: Wheat is the most popular and easily available bulk laxative. Three cups of wheat consumption per day is enough for an individual to live a long, healthy and disease-free life. When you maintain a fiber-rich diet comprised of wheat breads and cereals that are high in bran, you can be confident that problems such as pain, flatulence, nausea, constipation, and distension will be alleviated in no time. Diverticulitis often occurs due to inflammation and lower intestinal pains. This can also lead to chronic constipation and unnecessary straining, which can result in a sac or a pouch in the wall of the colon. Such cases can be easily dealt with naturally by keeping up with a fiber-rich diet and including whole grain wheat on a regular basis.Promotes Women’s Gastrointestinal Health: Benefits of wheat bran are bountiful, and promoting overall women’s health is yet another important role of this cereal variety. Wheat acts as an anti-carcinogenic agent, particularly in women. Wheat bran enhances the metabolic rate of estrogen, which often leads to breast cancer if left at an excessive level. In one survey of pre-menopausal women in the age group of twenty to fifty, they ate three to four high-fiber muffins per day made from wheat, and they showed reduced blood estrogen levels by 17% in only 2 months. The other group of women eating corn bran did not show this result.Wheat contains contain lignans, which are phytonutrients acting as hormone-like substances. The lignans often occupy the hormone receptors of our body, thereby alleviating certain risk factors for breast cancer. This effectively checks the high circulating levels of estrogen. Wheat increases the metabolic rate of estrogen production and protects women against this key factor of cancer. Wheat bran considerably reduces bile acid secretion and bacterial enzymes in the stool, thereby cutting down chances of colon cancer. If you include bread, pasta, and bran cereals in your daily diet, these ailments will be avoided. (organicfacts.net) |

Cassava has nearly twice the calories than potatoes, perhaps highest for any tropical starch rich tubers and roots. 100 g root provides 160 calories. Their calorie mainly comes from sucrose forming the bulk of the sugars in tubers, accounting for more than 69% of the total sugars. Complex sugar amylose is another major carbohydrate source (16-17%). Cassava is very low in fats and protein than in cereals and pulses. Nonetheless, it has more protein than that of other tropical food sources like yam, potato, plantains, etc. As in other roots and tubers, cassava too is free from gluten. Gluten-free starch is used in special food preparations for celiac disease patients. Young tender cassava (yuca) leaves are a good source of dietary proteins and vitamin K. Vitamin-K has a potential role in bone mass building by promoting osteotrophic activity in the bones. It also has established role in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease patients by limiting neuronal damage in the brain. Cassava is a moderate source of some of the valuable B-complex group of vitamins such as folates, thiamin, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), riboflavin, and pantothenic acid. The root is the chief source of some important minerals like zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and manganese for many inhabitants in the tropical belts. In addition, it has adequate amounts of potassium (271 mg per 100g or 6% of RDA). Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that help regulate heart rate and blood pressure.

They are very good natural sources of both soluble and insoluble fiber. The dietary fiber in them increases the bulk of the stool, thus, it helps prevent constipation, decrease absorption of dietary cholesterol and there by lower plasma LDL cholesterol. Additionally, the rich fiber content also helps protect from colon polyps and cancer. The fiber content aids in slow digestion starch and absorption of simple sugars in the gut. It thus help keep blood sugar levels within the normal range and avoid wide fluctuations. For the same reason, potato is considered as reliable source of carbohydrates in diabetics. |

Coconut
|
The important saturated fatty
acid in the coconut is lauric
acid (1:12 carbon fatty
acid). Lauric acid increases HDL cholesterol levels in the blood. HDL is a
high-density lipoprotein, which has beneficial effects on the coronary
arteries by preventing vessel blockade (atherosclerosis). Medicine recommends
high HDL to total cholesterol levels in the blood for the same reason. Coconut oil
extracted from the dry nut is an excellent emollient agent. 100
g kernel consists of 354 calories. Much of this comes from the fats and
protein. Although, its meat is disproportionately high in saturated fats on
comparison to other common edible nuts, coconut has many bioactive compounds
that are essential for better health. The kernel is an
excellent source of minerals such as copper, calcium, iron, manganese,
magnesium, and zinc. It is also a very good source of B-complex vitamins such
as folates, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and pyridoxine. These vitamins are
essential in the sense that body requires them from external sources to

Yogurt
|
Yogurt is nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. It has nutritional benefits beyond
those of milk. Lactose-intolerant individuals can sometimes tolerate
yogurt better than other dairy products, because the lactose in the milk is
converted to glucose and galactose,
and partially fermented to lactic acid, by the bacterial culture.Yogurt
containing live cultures has been found effective in a randomized trial at preventin
gantibiotic-associated diarrhea. Yogurt contains
varying amounts of fat. Yogurt is a
valuable health food for both infants and elderly persons. For children, it
is a balanced source of protein, fats, carbohydrates, and minerals. For
senior citizens, who usually have more sensitive colons or whose intestines
have run out of lactose, yogurt is also a valuable food. Elderly intestines
showed declining levels of bifidus bacteria, which allow the growth of
toxin-producing and, perhaps, cancer-causing bacteria. Yogurt may help
prevent osteoporosis, reduce the risk of high blood pressure. Yogurt with
active cultures helps the gut, may discourage vaginal infections, and may
help one feel fuller.

"bad cholesterol" levels in the blood. Regular consumption of foods
rich in vitamin C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents
and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals. Potassium is an
important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate
and blood pressure. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the
antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Iron is required for the red
blood cell formation. Vitamin-K has the potential role in bone metabolism by
promoting osteotrophic activity in them. So enough vitamin K in the diet
gives you healthy bones. In addition, vitamin-K also has established role in
curing Alzheimer's disease patients by limiting neuronal damage in their
brain.

antibiotic. The gourd helps with lung
and breast tumors and can promote lactation according to
practitioners of Chinese remedies.
The juice of snake gourd massaged on the scalp helps cure dandruff
and alopecia - a hair fall problem that could lead to partial or complete
baldness. Its high water content acts as a coolant for the body
and helps beat the summer heat. It helps in clearing the toxic matter from the body;
hence, it serves as a good detox agent. The
only precaution that needs to be taken while consuming snake gourd is to avoid

|
The most important chemical components of turmeric are a group of compounds called curcuminoids, which include curcumin (diferuloylmethane), demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. The best studied compound is curcumin, which comprises 0.3-5.4% of raw turmeric.[12]
Curcumin is the main beneficial constituent in terms of health, and is
relatively non-toxic in the body. In addition there are other important volatile oils such as tumerone, atlantone, and zingiberene. Some general constituents are sugars, proteins, and resins.[5] -wikipedia

Rice Bran :
Contents
& Benefits :
Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling process (the conversion of brown rice to white rice), and it contains various antioxidants that impart beneficial effects on human health.[2] A major rice bran fraction contains 12%-13% oil and highly unsaponifiable components (4.3%).[citation needed] This fraction contains tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E), gamma-oryzanol and beta-sitosterol; all these constituents may contribute to the lowering of the plasma levels of the various parameters of the lipid profile. Rice bran also contains a high level of dietary fibres (beta-glucan, pectin and gum). In addition, it also contains ferulic acid, which is also a component of the structure of nonlignified cell walls. However, some research suggests there are levels of inorganic arsenic (a toxin and carcinogen) present in rice bran. One study found the levels to be 20% higher than in drinking water.[3] Other types of bran (derived from wheat, oat or barley) contain less arsenic than rice bran, and are just as nutrient rich.[4]
