Where Do The Most Centurions Live?

July 26th, 2010 by Arlan Murata

The amazing thing about these centurions and super centurions is their lifestyle anddiet. They eat a vegetarian type diet of unprocessed whole foods like whole grains, fruits & vegetables that are typically locally  grown. They get their proteins most from plants – seeds, nuts and sometimes fish. They eat lots of sea vegetables

They maintain a sense of purpose to their lives. They are mentally and physically active and contribute to the community they live in. The social interaction they have with young as well as old is a key to their longevity.

They exercise and are active & independent in their action and attitude. They have a simple and peaceful existence both internal and external.

The live in a place called Okinawa.

Another amazing source of Living a vibrant and healthy life comes from Dr. Hiromi Shinya’s book. “The Enzyme Factor”.  Here are his 7 Golden Keys For Good Health Summarized

  1. Good diet of 85%-90% plant-based foods and 10%-15% animal-based proteints (no more than 3-4 oz per day). Foods to avoid include : Dairy products, Sweets & sugar, coffee, teas should be limited to 1-2 cups per day, nicotine, alcohol, chocolates, fats & oils and regular table salt. Chew your food well and be disciplined with the food you eat. You are what you eat.
  2. Drink Good Water, 6-10 cups per day. Drink 1-3 cups upon waking up and 2-3 cups about 1 hour before each meal. Sip don’t gulp your water.
  3. Regular elimination at least once a day. Do not take laxatives, use foods instead. If your bowels are sluggish use a coffee enema.
  4. Moderate exercise daily appropriate for your age and physical condition. Excessive exercise can harm you. Some examples of exercises are walking about 3 miles per day, swimming, tennis, bicycling, golf, yoga, martial arts and aerobic.
  5. Get adequate rest about 6 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Go to bed at the same time each night.  Do not eat 4 to 5 hours before bedtime. Take short naps
  6. Breathing and meditation: deep abdominal breathing 4 or 5 times per hour, positive thinking, listen to your body & be good to yourself.
  7. Love and joy will boost your body’s enzyme factor sometimes in miraculous ways. Take time to have an attitude of appreciation. Love, laugh, sing, dance. Live passionately and engage your life, work, and the ones you love with your full heart.

There is great similarities to the life style of the centurions and Dr. Shinya’s Golden Keys.

Want To Know About Another Food That Helps Your Body Heal?

July 20th, 2010 by Arlan Murata

Pineapples are packed with nutrition. This tropical fruit is high in Vitamin C, an Antioxidant, and the enzyme bromelain. According to Dr. Andrew Weil, bromelain is very effective in reducing swelling, tenderness and pain of bruises and sprains. The powerful anti-inflammatory effects can help with rheumatoid arthritis and postoperative swelling. The bromelain in pineapples promotes good digestion and relieves indigestion.

The fresh fruit is the best way to help your body heal and promote overall good health, Here some ways it affects various conditions.

1.    Pineapples are high in manganese, a mineral that is critical in the development of strong bones and connective tissue.
2.    Pineapples have Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme – that helps digestion by breaking down proteins.
3.    Pineapples help reduce mucous as a post-operative measure. Individuals that eat fresh pineapples daily report fewer sinus problems related to allergies.
4.    Pineapples high vitamin C content helps people with colds.
5.    Pineapples are known to discourage blood clot development.
6.    Pineapple juice helps with morning sickness and discourages plaque growth for a healthier mouth.
7.    Pineapple juice has an anthelmintic effects, its helps get rid of intestinal worms

Choose your pineapples by smell. It should give off a fresh tropical and sweet smell not an unpleasant odor.

I prepare the fresh fruit by cutting the top and bottom off. I stand the fruit up, and then I slice down the sides taking the skin off with the eyes. I cut the peeled core into 8 pieces and serve it like that. If you want to dice it, remove the fibrous center part and cut into small pieces.

Information summarized from Monique N Gilbert’s Article, “Pineapples: Nature’s Healing Fruit” and my experiences with Pineapples that I grew up with.

What Can Foods Do For You, Like Sweet Potato?

July 20th, 2010 by Arlan Murata

Did you know that SWEET POTATO (kamote) far exceeds the nutrition and health values of rice? Here are the benefits of substituting rice with kamote:

1. Sweet potato is more filling and suppresses hunger pangs longer. It is also cheaper than rice.

2. Unlike rice, it is easy to grow. It grows in backyards with or without fertilizers. Local government executives can provide their poor communities with idle government land for planting kamote which the entire community can share.

3. Unlike rice which needs to be eaten with a dish, Sweet Potato tastes good and can be eaten by itself. Thus, substituting rice with sweet potato saves money for other needs.

4. Rice cannot match the nutritional values of potato. Because rice converts to sugar in the body, the Philippines register as a top producer of diabetics in the world. The poor tends to load up on rice and less on the dish which are more expensive. That makes them vulnerable to diabetes, an ailment known in developed countries as a rich man’s disease.

5. The nutritional values of a 3 oz. baked sweet potato are: calories 90, fat 0 g, saturated fat 0 g, cholesterol 0 mg, carbohydrate 21 g, protein 2 g, dietary fiber 3 g, sodium 36 mg, vitamin A 19,218 IU, folic acid 6 micrograms, pantothenic acid 1 mg, vitamin B6 <1 mg, vitamin C 20 mg, vitamin E 1 mg, calcium 38 mg, manganese 1 mg, carotenoids 11,552 mcg, potassium 475 mg and magnesium 45 mg. Compare that to a 100 g serving of white rice with: calories 361 kcal, water 10.2 g, total fat 0.8 g, dietary fiber 0.6 g, calcium 8 mg, phosphorous 87 mg, potassium 111 mg, sodium 31 mg, vitamin B1 0.07 mg, vitamin B2 0.02 mg, niacin 1.8 g, protein 6 g and carbohydrates 82 g.

6. Too much rice consumption can make you sick, but sweet potato (kamote) can bring you to health and keep away some health problems. These have been proved medically.

In a recent medical documentary on KBS World (the South Korean TV Network), The results of the research the Koreans conducted on the nutritional and medicinal benefits of kamote (which they refer to as sweet potato) was impressive.

In that Korean medical documentary, they presented the research findings on people with established health problems who were placed on a kamote/sweet potato diet.

Believe it or not – Sweet Potato (kamote) lowers hypertension, bad cholesterol and even blood sugar when eaten as SUBSTITUTE TO RICE! The purple sweet potato (kamote) is particularly effective for lowering hypertension.
Not only that, the Korean medical documentary credits the sweet potato (kamote) as high fiber and is one of the best foods that one can eat to prevent cancer!

For those who are only impressed by US doctors, read this: the North Carolina Stroke Association, American Cancer Society, and the American Heart Association have all endorsed the sweet potato for its disease prevention and healing qualities.

The Americans, the South Koreans – both progressive nations – have raised the kamote to a high pedestal. Many of them even call the sweet Potato a “super food that heals.”

Here is what George Mateljan, Biologist, nutritionist and author of “The World’s Healthiest Foods” says about the sweet potato. A great source of good nutrition, as sweet potatoes are an Antioxidant-Rich and Anti-Inflammatory Food that is a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, manganese, copper, dietary fiber, Vitamin B6, potassium and iron. Antioxidant food have healing properties that eliminate free radicals that damage cells and membranes associated with the development of conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetic heart disease and colon cancer. Also, the nutrients in sweet potatoes are anti-inflammatory they can be helpful in reducing the conditions where inflammation is the cause of asthma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The rich Vitamin A content in sweet potatoes helps protect us from cancer and emphysema.

July 1st, 2010 by Arlan Murata

My reference source is Henry C Lu’s, “Chinese Natural Cure, Traditional Methods For Remedies and Prevention”

Chinese Diet

In the Chinese diet, we want to know what foods to eat to help with various problems. One does not drink tea when one has constipation. It is good for a cough to eat an apple with honey. If we are cold or hot, we take ginger in foods to warm us because it has warm energy and mung beans to cool us because they have cool energy.

We find nutritional benefits in foods but do not consider other properties of the foods in the Western Diet. Red pepper contains Vitamin A and B plus it has properties that warm us. Mung beans have proteins and carbohydrate plus properties that cool us. These are major difference between the Western and Chinese Diets.

The major aspects of Chinese Diet are: the five flavors of foods, the five energies of foods, the movement of foods, the  organic action of foods and common action of foods. Continue Reading
