Sejarah cengkih

Pada abad yang keempat, Dinasti Han dari Tiongkok mengharuskan setiap orang yang mendekatinya untuk mengunyah cengkeh terlebih dahulu, agar napasnya harum. Cengkeh, pala dan merica sangatlah mahal di zaman Romawi. Cengkih menjadi alat tukar menukar oleh bangsa Arab di abad pertengahan. Pada akhir abad ke-15, Portugis mengambil alih jalan tukar menukar di Laut India. Bersama itu diambil alih juga perdagangan cengkih dengan perjanjian Tordesillas dengan Spanyol, selain itu juga dengan perjanjian dengan sultan Ternate. Orang Portugis membawa banyak cengkih yang mereka peroleh dari kepulauan Maluku ke Eropa. Pada saat itu harga 1 kg cengkih sama dengan harga 7 gram emas.

Perdagangan cengkih akhirnya didominasi oleh orang Belanda pada abad ke-17. Dengan susah payah orang Prancis berhasil membudayakan pohon Cengkih di Mauritius pada tahun 1770. Akhirnya cengkih dibudayakan di Guyana, Brasilia dan Zanzibar.

Pada abad ke-17 dan ke-18 di Inggris harga cengkih sama dengan harga emas karena tingginya biaya impor. Sebab cengkih disana dijadikan salah satu bahan makanan yang sangat berkhasiat bagi warga dan sekitarnya yang mengonsumsi tanaman cengkih tersebut. Sampai sekarang cengkih menjadi salah satu bahan yang diekspor ke luar negeri.

Pohon cengkih yang dianggap tertua yang masih hidup terdapat di Kelurahan Tongole, Kecamatan Ternate Tengah, sekitar 6 km dari pusat kota Ternate. Poho yang disebut sebagai Cengkih Afo ini berumur 416 tahun, tinggi 36,60 m, berdiameter 198 m, dan keliling batang 4,26 m. Setiap tahunnya ia mampu menghasilkan sekitar 400 kg bunga cengkih.[2]
Kandungan bahan aktif dalam bunga dan buah cengkih

Minyak esensial dari cengkih mempunyai fungsi anestetik dan antimikrobial. Minyak cengkih sering digunakan untuk menghilangkan bau napas dan untuk menghilangkan sakit gigi. Zat yang terkandung dalam cengkih yang bernama eugenol, digunakan dokter gigi untuk menenangkan saraf gigi. Minyak cengkih juga digunakan dalam campuran tradisional chōjiyu (1% minyak cengkih dalam minyak mineral; "chōji" berarti cengkih; "yu" berarti minyak) dan digunakan oleh orang Jepang untuk merawat permukaan pedang mereka.

7 Killer Ways To Maximize Your Fat Burning In The Gym

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 7 Dec 2011 12:51:00 +0700

Hey, we all want to shed some pounds and get back to the body that we had when we were younger and didn’t appreciate it but it takes discipline, planning, and dedication to make that happen. All too often people shed 10 or 15 pounds and then seem to stop losing weight. There is definitely a reason this happens and it should not be seen as failure or an excuse to give up on your weight loss goals. Here are 7 absolutely killer ways to maximize your fat burning routine and help ensure success with your weight loss goals.

1) Anaerobic Exercise

If you think you can just run laps or pedal that fat away, think again. Muscle tissue is what burns the most calories in our bodies and you need to life weights in order to create bigger muscles that will burn more calories. Now although aerobic exercises such as cycling or swimming are also necessary, the fact remains that building bigger muscles is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. This is because you are creating a more efficient calorie burning machine by lifting weights which will ensure you success with your weight loss goals.

2) Warm-up and Cool Down

Warming up before exercising and taking the time to cool down afterwards with some light exercises are not generally seen as essential to a fat burning program. However, the reason why a lot of people tend to give up on their weight loss goals is because they failed to see the progress they hoped for when they began. An injury, even one that only lasts for a few days, can set your weight loss goals back by weeks and lead to a loss of stimulation. You need to plan an extra twenty minutes into your weight lifting routine for these two essential activities or you risk injury and derailing your weight loss plan.

3) Diet, Diet, Diet

This should not be a killer way to maximize your weight loss goals but it is. The reason for this is because people tend to think of losing weight in two ways: diet, or exercise. Hey, these two go hand in hand and you are never going to maximize your fat burning routine in the gym unless you take care of your body outside of the gym. Stop thinking of meals in terms of three: instead, think 5 meals with smaller portions. The FDA recently developed a new food pyramid with this very idea in mind and you should check it out before starting your fat burning program because it can save you a lot of time and energy if you get the diet part figured out before even stepping into the gym.

4) Plan Workouts

The body is the most complex machine on the planet and you can’t just hope to step into a gym and jump on a machine or some weights and think that you are going to see the results you want without knowing how they affect your body. The ideal exercise routine is done only 3 or 4 times per week and only for 30-45 minutes at a time. You cannot work your body more than this because it will actually cause your muscles to break down which means you will be burning fewer calories, and therefore, not maximizing your fat burning routine in the gym. If you have any doubts about what kind of routine is ideal for your goals, don’t be afraid to consult an physical trainer to help you set up a program that is best suited for you.

5) Nutritional Supplements

If you really want to maximize your fat burning routine in the gym, then you need to consider using nutritional supplements. Now I am not talking about those crazy supplements that promise to burn fat for you while you sit and watch tv! I am talking about essential fatty acids, amino acids, whey protein….things that will truly maximize your workouts that you can’t always expect to get in the foods you eat every day. Again, consult a physical trainer if you want to know which supplements are best for your weight loss goals.

6) Set Weekly Goals

I know that this just seems terribly obvious but the truth is that most people are not thrilled with the idea of working out so it is easy for them to skip a session or indulge in some pizza and think that they will make up for it next time. Listen, next time never comes and when you stop seeing the scales go down, the motivation just seems to stop. By setting weekly goals, you can track your progress and make it that much more likely that you will adhere to the goals when you see things are not going as expected.

7) No More Late Night Snacks

This one may not seem to make sense, but I assure you that it will help maximize your fat burning exercises. The reason is your metabolism. When you eat right before you go to bed, it throws your body off and you probably notice that you awaken and don’t feel hungry. Then, you skip breakfast entirely or only snack on a bagel or something on you way into work.

The result: the body goes into conservation mode. This means that it slows down your metabolism and that means you are burning less calories throughout the day. Plus, it increases the likelihood of snacking and basically just sets the scene for a bad cycle. Eating five smaller portioned meals per day also has to do with your metabolism as it has been found that metabolism remains highest when there is a consistent supply of food in the body. You might not believe that late night snacking affects the way your body burns fat when working out, but it does.

Now some of the things listed above are obvious while some just seem silly. And yet, taken together and consistently adhered to, these 7 little ideas will maximize your fat burning in the gym and get you to that body you can see in your mind but not the mirror far quicker than if you just go about things in a disorganized and inconsistent manner.

Admiring the Old Garden Rose

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 17:25:00 +0700

To recreate the gardens of your ancestors, include the old garden roses. These date back for centuries, are hardier, and include a large variety. They fare well in poor conditions, are the easiest type of rose to care for, do best in rich soil that drains well, and continue to bloom for years.

Some types of the old garden rose are Mary Queen of Scots, Sweetheart Rose, American Beauty, Awakening, and Belle Amore.
The Butterfly Rose is an ancient hybrid from China, introduced in 1932. The blooms change colors from soft orange to pink to carmine, which makes it a delight to observe.

Old garden roses with the traditional appearance include:

The Duchesse de Brabant (a Gulf Coast rose with a light scent),
Belinda's Dream (long stems, nice fragrance),
Zepherine Drouhin (unique fragrance),
Red Radiance (strong fragrance).

What classifies a rose as an old garden rose? According to the American Rose Society, these are plants introduced before 1867. They prefer light fertilization, a light feeding schedule, and patience. They bloom only when they are ready to bloom.

Judging seminars are held because it is a challenge to judge the old garden rose; therefore, the judging for it is not set in stone. Fewer judges are familiar with it than with the newer modern roses.
If your goal is to show your old garden roses for prizes, you'll have to pay a bit more attention to them and prepare them properly for the shows. Things to look for include strong, vibrant blooms, leaves, and stems. They should have good color. Remove damaged petals (trim if necessary). The foliage should be clean. The less side growths you have on your canes, the better. A stem-on-stem condition is considered impairment. This is when new growth starts where old growth had stopped.

A national show was held in Dallas, Texas, in October of 2006. There are district shows and local shows around the country as well. If you are interested in competing in the rose shows, you might consider joining the American Rose Society. Through such a group, you can obtain a wealth of information and contacts.

Plenty of garden groups and clubs exist for rose enthusiasts. A short list of some of these clubs are as follows:
American Horticultural Society, Arlington Rose Foundation, Phoenix Rose Society, Potomac Rose Society, Arizona West Valley Rose Society, and Humboldt Rose Society.

If you would enjoy traveling around the United States in search of gardens to view the various old garden roses, among other types, you could try the following places:

The Pageant of Roses Garden, Whittier, CA, Washington Park International Rose Test Garden, Portland, OR, Inez Parker Memorial Rose Garden, San Diego, CA, The Gardens of the American Rose Society, Shreveport, LA, Tyler Municipal Rose Garden Center, Tyler, TX, and the Zilker Botanical Garden, Austin, TX.

If traveling the United States is not an option, try the local yellow pages in your area or call or visit the Chamber of Commerce in your town to get information on local gardens, clubs, and events that feature old garden roses.

Music for babies

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 17:48:00 +0700

You’ve probably seen videos and CDs for babies. There are some theories that classical music can make your baby smarter, and exposing your baby to music is part of what we do to introduce them to all the sights and sounds of their world.

Music can definitely help calm your baby down and put him in a restful state at bedtime or nap time. What are some good choices for a baby?

Almost anything you love or use for relaxation is good for a baby too. There are good collections of Mozart or Bach for bedtime. The music of Enya can be very soothing as well. Georgia Kelly’s harp music is also relaxing and peaceful.

When your baby’s awake, there are lots of nursery rhymes or music from kids’ movies that can stimulate his senses. We’ve known kids who respond to minimalist Phillip Glass’s music; it’s simple and rhythmic and when they get older, they’ll dance with it. Spirituals and soft gospel music are also good choices to help the baby get to sleep.

White noise, in the form of a fan (not directed right at the baby), or from sound machines that simulate the sound of an ocean or rain can be restful as well, and can block out noise from the home. You don’t need to create an artificially silent environment for the baby, however, since that can make it harder for them to get to sleep when the home’s rhythms and noises get back to normal.

This is a great time for you to explore classical music as well, if it’s not already part of your life. The same music that’s helping your baby get to sleep can help soothe your own nerves and provide a wonderful time of bonding and restfulness for you and your baby together

Garden the plants

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 11:48:00 +0700

Herbs have been around since time immemorial and served different kinds of effects. Have been used to treat the disease and the taste of the kitchen, even believed to have magical powers. Want to have your own herb garden? Here are some ideas on how to establish a herb garden.

Plan your garden.

Consider that we want to plant herbs. Think about their types. Would you like annual, biennial or perennial?

How much space they occupy in your garden? If you prefer, you can buy a book that can give you the right information on what specific plants you plan to grow.

List or draw your garden on paper first. Separate directories of perennials so when the time comes that you have learned this year, you will not be disturbing the perennials. Perennials can be planted on the edge of your garden, so when it's time to cultivate your garden, they will not be in danger of being exhumed.

Another thing to remember is that you have them planted in the back and shorter in front. Also leaving the plants enough room to grow. The correct position is to help in this matter.

If you prefer to keep weeds from your garden (and some are quite invasive) you could have herb pots. These are large containers with three or more outlets of the herbs. Fill the pot up to the first exit and the ground before proceeding with the filling and planting process. Usually, the grass needs more water enters the bottom hole, while the variety that requires less goes in the hole bigger.

Some design ideas

You can consider a square herb bed. You can have your square bed divided into four by two paths crossing in the middle that is 3 feet. Can the border with stone or brick. A wooden ladder may also do the trick. Can be arranged in your garden and plant your herbs between its rungs. You can also choose to have a wagon wheel bed. Planting here is like planting with the wooden stairs. Plant your herbs between the two corners of the car wheels.

Get your plant growth

Of course, different plants have different needs, but many of them require alkaline soil. This is why you must specify the design you want to plant herbs. This may be more or less help you determine how you should treat your plants. If you germinate your herbs from seeds, remember to follow the directions on the package, soil, irrigation and temperature.

Herbs are some of the easiest plants to grow. Only provide an effective drainage, sunlight, adequate moisture and humidity and fertile soil. Even with just minimally meeting these requirements, are required to produce a good harvest.

Back Pain and Backers

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 8 Jul 2011 23:23:00 +0700

Did you know when pain acts out that your backers will kick in? The backers are your emotions. The devilish radicals of our human makeup can lead us to consequences we ordinarily would not accept. Sometimes the radicals are angels that work as guiders to back our every step.

Back pain and emotions go hand in hand, since when one experiences pain it causes threat to the emotions. When the emotions are threatened, “Look out Henry,” John Doe is in the house. Back pain has symptoms, which include depression, irritation and hopelessness, which starts with back pain and ends with emotions. The person will often accept the proposal that the emotions deliver, leaving them to believe that no help is present. In most back pain instances however, help is sitting in front of you.

The rule of thumb is to listen, learn, and take action. When you learn all you can about your condition, you can move to accept its symptoms and take action to resolve your problem. In fact, the information you gain can work in your favor, since you may learn strategies that relieve your pain without costing you a fortune.

Most back conditions are treated with Rest, Ice Packs, Compression, and Elevation. (R.I.C.E.) Remember this rule and apply it as needed. Unless your back is broken, most back conditions are treated with basic common sense and non-costly remedies. Take action!

Tell John Doe to move it on over, since Henry is taking control. The emotions are lethal injections if you allow them to take over your life.

Fact: About 33% of the patients who visit common medical practitioners do not receive relief from back pain.

Fact: Chiropractors specialize in back pain. Chiropractors overall has lowered back pain up to a percentage higher than ordinary physicians have. Acupuncture and massage therapy has helped more patients than standard medical treatment.

FACT: Back surgeries can lead to further complications.

Physical therapy is a great way to minimize back pain. In the worst case scenarios people have trained in weights and aerobics, thus reducing pain.

Back pain is relieved when one uses practical reason. Aspirin for instance can relieve most states of back pain with the exceptions of severe aching. Practical reasoning should tell you that the muscles are stressed, which basic stretch workouts can resolve the problem. Stretch those muscles!

Understanding your condition is the first step to taking action. In addition, when you know your condition you can relax. Pushing the muscles is overexertion that leads to back pain. If you are weight training and notice pain in the back, change your actions and perform other types of workouts.

Discomfiture (Oh no, not John Doe again) can cause a person to feel pity, instead of taking action. Don’t let John Doe out of the bag, rather get into the grove and stretch, relax, and rest.

Fact: Ecotrin is a painkiller that is sold over the counter. If you have back pain and take this medicine four times daily with a meal, you can reduce back pain. Take Ecotrin if you have overexerted the muscles to relieve pain.

Fact: Over the counter medications, such as Ecotrin will reduce pain caused from sprains and osteoarthritis.

Over the counter meds, such as Ecotrin has proven to reduce inflammation and swelling, which is the leading cause of pain.

Fact: If you take, Ecotrin prior to working out, you can reduce the odds of back pain.

Do not take over the counter medications if you have acute back conditions. The remedies are designed for short-term relief. Overusing the remedies can damage the kidneys and cause ulcers to develop.

Fact: Tylenol is linked to liver damage, yet if you use Tylenol in short-term regimens to relieve pain, the painkiller works alongside the central nerves to reduce pain.

Chamomile

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 20:16:00 +0700

Chamomile is an herb that has been used for thousands of years for many ailments including gas, diarrhea, stomach upset, sleeplessness, and anxiety. It can also be used topically for certain skin lesions. The Chamomile plant has flowering tops and these are what are used for making tea and other herbal remedies that include Chamomile.

When Chamomile tops are stewed and then drained the liquid is a deep yellow color and can be lightly sweetened if preferred. It has a very unique taste to it and many women used to make sure they always had a few baby bottles tucked safely away in the refrigerator in case their baby got gas. It was used before the days of over the counter gas relief drops and although there is no scientific validity to it, it always seemed to make the baby stop wailing and fall fast asleep.

It was also given to women for menstrual cramps in the days before Midol and Pamprin. Chamomile also has some calming properties to it so it can be very beneficial to sip on during the day if you are feeling anxious or if the muscles in your body are tense from anxiety and stress it is said that Chamomile can help to relieve that.

Chamomile produces an oil that when isolated turns a very unique bluish color and this has very distinct anti-inflammatory properties to it so it has been known to work very well on skin infections, eczema, and inflamed skin. This would be Chamomile in its topical form rather than the flowers or the tea from the flowers. Again, remember that Chamomile was around for a long time before many over the counter and prescription medications were so readily available. For years all many people had to rely on was herbal remedies that were likely passed down from generations and possibly continued to be passed down even after the newer medications did come to the forefront.

Often when small children had bug bites, diaper rashes, or eczema, the mother would fill a stocking with Chamomile and oatmeal and let it soak in the tub with her children. It was very effective in stopping the itch and improving the diaper rash. Chamomile was also used in combination with other herbs for a lot of other purposes such as if one felt nauseous, a combination of Chamomile, shredded licorice root, fennel seeds, and peppermint would cure that pretty quickly. Because Chamomile is part of the Ragweed family you should not ingest it if you have an allergy to Ragweed.

Some people love to sip a hot cup of Chamomile tea with no ailments at all, just because they enjoy it. Pregnant and nursing mothers are advised to stay away from all herbs but Chamomile is the exception to this rule. It is completely safe for anyone to drink at any time. It has even been known to help teething babies too. On a final note Chamomile has been known to be an excellent hair conditioner and to sooth scalps. When mixed with a bit of lemon and sunshine it has also been known to give subtle natural highlights to hair.

Yang jelas, asam jengkolat dapat mengakibatkan gangguan kesehatan. Penyebabnya adalah terbentuknya kristal asam jengkolat yang akan dapat menyumbat saluran air seni. Jika kristal yang terbentuk semakin banyak, lama-kelamaan dapat menimbulkan gangguan pada saat mengeluarkan air seni. Bahkan, jika terbentuk infeksi, akan menimbulkan gangguan yang lebih parah.
Dalam jumlah tertentu, asam jengkolat dapat membentuk kristal. Kristal tersebut dapat menyumbat dan bahkan menimbulkan luka pada saluran kencing, sehingga kencing menjadi tersendat-sendat dan kadang-kadang menimbulkan pendarahan.
Jika keracunan jengkol, langkah pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah mengosumsi air putih yang banyak supaya kadar asam jengkolat lebih encer, sehingga lebih mudah dibuang melalui urin. Jika keracunan bersifat kronis, dapat diatasi dengan memberikan tablet natrium bikarbonat sebanyak 4x2 gram per hari, obat penghilang rasa nyeri, ataupun pemberian injeksi natrium bikarbonat oleh dokter.
Penanganan keracunan jengkol harus diantisipasi dengan segera karena jika keadaan semakin parah, dapat menyebabkan kematian.

Manfaat tomat

Siapapun pasti mengenal Tomat, tapi tahukan anda bila tomat pun bermacam bentuk. Pertama tomat buah, berwarna merah, berdaging tebal, dengan biji berair dan mudah didapat di pasar tradisional Indonesia sekali pun.
Sementara yang berukuran lebih kecil dan biasanya berwarna oranye kehijauan dan hijau bila belum matang, dikenal sebagal tomat sayur karena kerap digunakan dalam masakan. Selain itu ada juga yang berukuran kecil sebesar kelereng disebut tomat ceri. Jenis tomat ini juga digunakan untuk campuran membuat sambal atau dalam hidangan salad.

Menurunkan Resiko Kanker

Tomat tak hanya sedap untuk masakan, tapi juga berkhasiat untuk kesehatan. Studi yang dimuat di Journal of the National Cancer Institute menguatkan bahwa mengkonsumsi tomat dalam jumlah cukup dapat menurunkan resiko kanker, meski tidak semua jenis kanker. Dari 72 penelitian yang dilakukan, 57 menyatakan terdapat keterkaitan konsumsi tomat dengan penurunan resiko kanker, demikian menurut keterangan Dr. Edward Giovannucci dari Harvard Medical School.
"Data yang ada hampir semua mengaitkan konsumsi tomat dengan kanker prostat, paru-paru dan sistem pencernaan," ungkap Giovannucci. Penemuannya juga menunjukan bahwa konsumsi tomat dapat menurunkan resiko kanker lain seperti pankreas, usus besar, payudara dan leher rahim.
"Sangat baik mengkonsumsi tomat sebagai pola makan sehat, seperti konsumsi buah atau sayuran lainnya," ungkap Dr Moshe Shike direktur Cancer Prevention and Wellness Program, Cancer Center, New York, kolega Giovannuci.
Giovannucci sendiri melakukan penelitian mengenai tomat dalam bentuk apapun, baik mentah, saus, pasta, sup atau salad. Khasiat ditemukan dalam semua olahan tersebut, penelitian juga menyimpulkan bahwa kandungan manfaat tomat tidak terganggu dengan pemasakan dan pengolahan.
Hanya saja, terkadang tomat dicampur dengan lemak dan gula yang tidak baik bagi kesehatan jika dikonsumsi terlalu banyak. seperti tomat segar dikonsumsi bersamaan dengan keju. Sumber lemak tinggi itulah yang harus dikurangi.

Tomat Merah Paling Baik

Namun jika dibandingkan dari semua jenisnya tomat, yang paling baik dikonsumsi adalah tomat merah atau tomat buah. Tomat berwarna merah mengandung vitamin C dan vitamin A lima kali lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan tomat sayur. Semakin matang tomat, semakin kaya kandungan vitaminnya. Zat-zat dalam tomat saat dimasak dengan sayuran lain pun tidak hilang malah menghancurkan Radikal Bebas dalam masakan.
Selain vitamin C pigmen merah pada tomat juga mempunyai nilai lebih. Semakin merah tomat semakin banyak mengandung lycopene, nama zat antioksidan yang dapat menghancurkan radikal bebas dalam tubuh akibat rokok, polusi dan sinar ultraviolet. Kandungan lycopene inilah yang berkhasiat membantu mencegah kerusakan sel--pemicu kanker leher rahim, kanker prostat, kanker perut dan kanker pankreas.
Berbeda dengan sayuran lain yang lebih bermanfaat jika dikonsumsi segar atau bahka mentah, ternyata tomat lebih baik dicampur dengan masakan atau dihancurkan sebelum dikonsumsi. Para peneliti menemukan lycopene yang dikeluarkan pada tomat tersebut lebih banyak dibandingkan bila langsung dimakan tanpa diolah dahulu. Sayangnya, meskipun kandungan lycopennya berlimpah, pasta tomat dan saus tomat yang dijual dipasaran sudah banyak dibubuhi zat aditif seperti pewarna atau pengawet sintetis.
Sangat dianjurkan membuat saus atau pasta tomat sendiri sehingga kandungan bermanfaat tomat tidak tercemari dengan zat-zat berbahaya yang justru memicu rusaknya sel-sel tubuh.
Fakta dibalik tomat:

Rasa asam buah tomat berasal dari asam malik dan asam sitrat.
Buah tomat menstimulir keluarnya enzim pencernaan, terutama yang berasal dari pankreas. Guna meningkatkan kerja saluran cerna, minum jus tomat setiap hari sebelum makan.
Jus tomat berkasiat tonik bagi penderita yang sedang sakit maupun pada fase penyembuhan.
Pengobatan tradisional Cina membuktikan, tomat mempunyai khasiat pereda demam (antiseptik) dan penawar racun (detoksikan).
Tomat olahan seperti direbus, saus tomat, dan pasta membuat likopen lebih mudah diserap sehingga lebih berkhasiat untuk mencegah kenker prostat dan penyakit jantung.
Waspada bagi orang yang sensitf terhadap tomat, sebab bisa timbul alergi di saluran cerna akibat kandungan saponin, solanin, dan histamin.
