Fresh Fruits:

The benefits of eating fruits that is in the season.

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that fruits eaten in the season are beneficial and not those ones that come at the end of the season. Benefits of doing this are that it relieves the heart from sorrow and grief. ^{(Bahar vol 14}

Encyclopedia of Medical Hadiths, vol. 2, p. 137)

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said whoever eats a fruits and starts eating it with the name of Allah then that fruit will not cause any harm to the person.

(Al-Wasil, . Mustadrak). Vol 16, p. 461,h. 20547)

Fresh Fruits benefits in medical

1. Vitamin C:

Fresh fruits are generally considered to be higher in vitamin C than older fruits. Any Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is easily lost through exposure to light and air, as well as during the storage and transportation of fruits. This means that the longer a fruit is stored, the more vitamin C it can lose. A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that vitamin C levels in strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries decreased by 10-70% within three days of storage at room temperature.

• Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing, Second Edition by

Nirmal Sinha, Jiwan Sidhu, and Jozsef Barta (2012)

 

2. Fiber:

Both fresh and older fruits can contain fiber, but fresh fruits may contain more. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be digested by the human body, but plays an important role in digestive health. It helps to regulate bowel movements, lower cholesterol levels, and control blood sugar levels. Fruits with edible skin, such as apples, pears, and peaches, are particularly high in fiber.

Book Reference:

– The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020-2025) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2020)

3. Antioxidants:

Fresh fruits generally have more antioxidants than older fruits, as antioxidants can degrade over time. Antioxidants are compounds that help protect the body against oxidative stress, which is a process that can lead to cellular damage and chronic diseases. Some common antioxidants found in fruits include vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and flavonoids.

Book Reference:

• Handbook of Antioxidants for Food Preservation by Fereidoon Shahidi (2015)
• Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs: Bioactive Foods in Health

Promotion by Ronald Ross Watson and Victor R. Preedy (2016)

4. Minerals:

The mineral content of fresh and older fruits can vary depending on the fruit and storage conditions. However, minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium can decrease over time due to exposure to air and light. Potassium is important for regulating blood pressure, magnesium is important for bone health and nerve function, and calcium is important for bone health.

Book Reference:

• Nutritional Sciences: From Fundamentals to Food by Michelle McGuire and Kathy A. Beerman (2020)
• Fruits of Tropical and Subtropical Origin by M. Nagy, A. Shaw, and M. Wardowski (2016)

 

5. Sugars:

The sugar content of fresh and older fruits can vary depending on the fruit and its ripeness. As fruits ripen, their sugar content generally increases, which can lead to a sweeter taste. However, some fruits, such as apples and pears, can convert their starches into sugars even after they have been picked, which can make them sweeter over time. It is important to note that while fruits contain natural sugars, consuming too much of them can still contribute to high blood sugar levels and other health issues.

6. Phytochemicals:

Fresh fruits generally contain more phytochemicals than older fruits. Phytochemicals are compounds that are found in plants and have been shown to have health-promoting properties. Some common phytochemicals found in fruits include carotenoids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. These compounds have been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

7. Pesticides:

Fruit that has been stored for a longer period of time may have a higher concentration of pesticides, as these chemicals can persist in the environment and accumulate in the fruit over time. It is important to properly wash and peel fruits to reduce exposure to pesticide residues. Choosing organic fruits can also help reduce exposure to pesticides.

Why do we eat Cheese and Walnut together in medical?

 

Cheese contains calcium and walnuts contain phosphorus.

 

The calcium in cheese needs phosphorus to be absorbed by the body, and if cheese is not eaten with walnuts, the calcium in the blood carries away some of the phosphorus in the brain, which eventually leads to mental retardation.

Cheese contains a substance called tyramine, the excess of which causes mental retardation in the brain. In the fight against this substance, the human body produces an enzyme that can eliminate the effect of this substance. To increase the effectiveness of this enzyme, one must increase the amount of copper in the body and the only way to do this is to eat cheese with walnuts, which are a rich source of copper.

Minerals:

1. Potassium: Cucumbers are a good source of potassium, an essential mineral that helps regulate blood pressure and supports proper muscle and nerve function.

Chemical Compounds:

1. Cucurbitacins: Cucumbers contain cucurbitacins, a group of bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.
2. Flavonoids: Cucumbers contain various flavonoids, including quercetin, apigenin, and luteolin, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and may contribute to reducing the risk of certain diseases.

Health Benefits:

1. Hydration: Cucumbers have a high water content (over 95%), which helps keep you hydrated and supports overall health and well-being.

 

1. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects: The cucurbitacins and flavonoids found in cucumbers have antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties that may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.

 

1. Digestive health: The water and fiber content in cucumbers can support regular bowel movements and promote healthy digestion.

Benefits of Cucumber with Salt

1. Hydration: Cucumbers are composed of about 95% water, making them a hydrating snack. When combined with salt, it can help replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, promoting hydration and preventing dehydration.

 

1. Electrolyte balance: Salt, or sodium chloride, is an essential electrolyte that plays a crucial role in maintaining proper fluid balance in the body. By adding a pinch of salt to cucumber, you can help restore electrolyte levels, which is particularly beneficial after intense physical activity or during hot weather.

 

1. Mineral intake: Cucumbers are a good source of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium. When combined with salt, it can further enhance the mineral content of the snack. Potassium, in particular, is important for maintaining proper heart and muscle function.

1. Digestion: Cucumbers contain fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes regular bowel movements. When combined with salt, it can stimulate salivation and the production of digestive juices, further facilitating the digestive process.

 

Benefits with dates

1: Nutrient variety: Dates are a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants. Cucumbers, as mentioned earlier, provide hydration, electrolytes, and additional minerals. By combining the two, you can benefit from a wider range of nutrients.

 

2: Satiety and energy: The natural sugars in dates can provide a quick source of energy, while the fiber and water content of cucumbers contribute to feelings of satiety and hydration. Together, this combination may offer a balanced and satisfying snack option

Garlic benefits in Medical

Garlic is the bulb of Allium sativum plant or its varieties and cultivars. Classification:

Kingdom Plantae – Plants

Subkingdom Tracheobionta – Vascular plants Superdivision Spermatophyta – Seed plants

Division	Magnoliophyta – Flowering plants
Class	Liliopsida – Monocotyledons
Subclass	Liliidai
Order	Liliales
Family	Liliaceae – Lily family
Genus	Allium L.
Species	Allium sativum L. – Garlic

Common Names:

Garlic

Botanical Description:

Garlic is a perennial bulb with a tall, erect flowering stem that grows up to 1 m. The leaf blade is flat, linear, solid, and approximately 1.25 to 2.5 cm wide, with an acute apex. The plant may produce pink to purple flowers that bloom from July to September. The bulb is odiferous and contains outer layers of thin sheathing leaves surrounding an inner sheath that encloses the clove. Often the bulb contains 10 to 20 cloves that are asymmetrical in shape, except for those closest to the center.

Plant Part Used:

Bulbs

Chemistry:

Major Active constituents: allicin

Garlic is a source of numerous vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Garlic contains the highest sulfur content of any member of the genus Allium. Two trace elements, germanium and selenium, have detectable quantities and have been postulated to play a role in the herb’s antitumor effect.

Garlic contains approximately 0.5% of a volatile oil composed of sulfur-containing compounds

(diallyldisulfide, diallyltrisulfide, methylallyltrisulfide) (2). The bulbs contain an odorless, colorless, sulfurcontaining amino acid called alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide), which has no pharmacologic activity (3). When the bulb is ground, the enzyme allinase is released, resulting in the conversion of alliin to 2propenesulfenic acid, which dimerizes to form allicin. Allicin gives the pungent characteristic odor to crushed garlic and is believed to be responsible for some of the pharmacologic activity of the plant.

Medicinal uses:

Garlic may produce modest significant effects in the treatment of dyslipidemia and hypertension.

Traditionally, it has been used for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, as well as for treating the common cold, upper respiratory tract infections, mild bronchitis, and rhinitis, and to relieve cough and congestion. Other potential uses include treatment of atherosclerosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, and stomach and colon cancer.

 

Pharmacology & Clinical:

The antiseptic and antibacterial properties of garlic have been known for centuries. As recently as World War II, garlic extracts were used to disinfect wounds. During the 1800s, physicians routinely prescribed garlic inhalation for the treatment of tuberculosis. Preparations containing garlic extracts are used widely in Russia and Japan.

Garlic juice and essential garlic oil, water, and ethanol extracts inhibit the in vitro growth of Aspergillus niger , Bacillus species, Candida species, Cryptococcus species, Erwinia carotovora , Escherichia coli , Mycobacterium tuberculosis , Pasteurella multocida , Proteus species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Rhodotorula rubra , Shigella sonnei , Staphylococcus aureus , Streptococcus faecalis , Toruloposis species, and Trichosporon pullulans (1,4). Both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms are inhibited in vitro by garlic extracts. Garlic extracts inhibit the growth of numerous strains of

Mycobacterium. Garlic extracts have shown antifungal activity when tested in vitro and their use has been suggested in the treatment of oral and vaginal candidiasis.

The quantitate in vivo activity of garlic extracts when orally administered 25 mL of fresh garlic extract to volunteers (5). Serum and urine samples were tested for antifungal activity against 15 species of fungal pathogens. While serum exhibited anticandidal and anticryptococcal activity within 30 minutes after ingestion. The findings suggest that while garlic extracts may exhibit some antifungal activity in vivo.

Studies on the effects of platelet aggregation is possibly related to variations in study design and in the garlic preparation used. The proposed mechanism for garlic oil inhibition of platelet function is via interference with thromboxane synthesis (6). Researchers isolated a component of garlic oil that inhibits platelet aggregation and identified it as methylallyltrisulphide. Methylallyltrisulphide is present in natural oil in a concentration of 4% to 10%. The purified compound inhibits adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation at a concentration of less than 10 mcmol/L in plasma (2).

Further studies indicated that the most potent antithrombotic compound in garlic is 4,5,9, trithiadodeca-1,6,11-triene 9-oxide, also known as ajoene. This compound is formed by an acid-catalyzed reaction of 2 allicin molecules, followed by rearrangement. The compound can be synthesized commercially. Scientists demonstrated the effect of ajoene in preventing clot formation caused by vascular damage. The experiment was designed to mimic the conditions of blood flow in small- and medium-sized arteries by varying the velocity of the blood; the compound proved to be effective in both conditions. The authors suggested that the compound may be useful in situations in which emergency treatment is needed to prevent clot formation produced by vascular damage (7).

The platelets from healthy subjects who had eaten garlic cloves (100 to 150 mg/kg) showed complete inhibition to aggregation induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (8). Other studies have shown that ingestion of aged garlic extract can produce an inhibition of some of the platelet functions important for initiating thromboembolic events in arterial circulation (9).

Garlic has been suggested to reduce blood glucose levels (3), increase serum insulin, and improve liver glycogen storage (4).

Oral administration of garlic ethanol extract increased insulin levels and decreased serum glucose, as well as total cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, urea, uric acid, and transaminase levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (10).

A review of the literature demonstrated that glucose levels decreased from 89 to 9 mg/dL in healthy volunteers given garlic (800 mg dried powder for 35 days) compared with a placebo group (11).

A number of trials have examined the effects of garlic on lipoproteins and hypercholesterolemia. It is thought that the organic disulfides present in garlic oil can reduce the activity of the thiol group found in many enzymes and can oxidize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). These compounds can inactivate thiol enzymes, such as coenzyme A and HMG-CoA reductase, and can oxidize NADPH, all of which are factors normally required for lipid synthesis.

Studies specifically examining moderate hypercholesterolemia in men have shown beneficial effects on lipid profiles by reducing total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (13, 14). Adult patients (N = 192) with moderate hypercholesterolemia (LDL-C of 130 to 190 mg/dL or 3.36 to 4.91 mmol/L) randomized to receive garlic at an approximate dose of 4 g clove/day as raw garlic, powdered garlic supplement, aged garlic extract supplement, or placebo taken 6 days/week over 6 months produced no statistically or clinically significant effects on fasting plasma lipid concentrations, including LDL-C (12).

One meta-analysis on the use of garlic for hypercholesterolemia specifically reviewed randomized, controlled trials comparing garlic with placebo (15). The inclusion criteria were mean total cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dL (5.17 mmol/L). Pooling data from 13 trials (including 796 patients) suggested that garlic is superior to placebo in reducing cholesterol levels. However, the effect was modest (6% reduction in total cholesterol). Another meta-analysis of 16 randomized, controlled trials (including 1,365 patients) also showed a modest reduction in serum lipids. Overall, a 12% greater reduction was observed with garlic therapy compared with placebo.

Other data reveals a possible role for garlic as add-on therapy to traditional medicines (eg, reducing the dose of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) (16). Additional trials have demonstrated that allicin, the presumed active ingredient of garlic, may reduce total cholesterol and LDL-C in adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia (17). A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized pilot study in 19 high-risk patients receiving an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and aspirin for atherosclerotic disease demonstrated that 4 mL of aged garlic extract (1,200 mg) slowed the accumulation of coronary artery calcification, as detected by electron beam tomography after 1 year (18).

One study demonstrated that 2 tablets daily of dried garlic preparation (approximately 1 g/day) relieved abdominal and epigastric distress, belching, flatulence, nausea, and colic compared with placebo (19).

The results of a meta-analysis suggest that garlic supplements of 600 to 900 mg/day for 1 to 3 months are associated with a clinically important reduction in blood pressure (20). The meta-analysis included 8 trials consisting of 415 patients.

The antineoplastic activity of garlic has been studied in mice injected with cancer cells pretreated with a garlic extract. No deaths occurred in this treatment group for up to 6 months, while mice injected with untreated cancer cells died within 16 days (4). It is believed that the reaction of allicin with sulfhydryl groups (the concentration of which increases rapidly in dividing cells) may contribute to this inhibitory effect.

Dietary garlic consumption is associated with decreased odds of laryngeal, gastric, colorectal, and endometrial cancers, as well as adenomatous colorectal polyps (21).

The protective effect of garlic against colorectal and gastric cancers was addressed in meta-analyses of 18 studies (22). It was concluded that high intake of garlic may offer protection.

Researchers demonstrated that allicin increased the levels of 2 important antioxidant enzymes in the blood, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. This discovery confirmed the antioxidant and free-radical scavenging potential of allicin. In vivo and in vitro ischemia reperfusion studies demonstrated that aqueous garlic administered prior to ischemia reperfusion inhibited lipid peroxidation and prevented glutathione depletion, thereby protecting the function and structure of different organs against injury because of oxidative damage and neutrophil infiltration (23). Other researchers studied the sulfur compounds in aged garlic extract and found 5 sulfur compounds that inhibited lipid peroxidation in the liver, preventing a reaction considered to be one of the main features of aging in liver cells.

A relationship between an increase in allium food consumption (onion and garlic) and the decreased incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia was demonstrated in a case-controlled study of 1,369 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and 1,451 matched controls (24).

Fenugreek+fig

A person complained to Imam Musa Kazim about pain in the whole body, cold in the bones (rheumatoid arthritis). Imam said.one palm of fenugreek and one palm of fig then boil in water then clean and drink the cleaned water after one day (use for eight days)( Usool Kafi J8 p. 191 H.211) Prophet PBUH says. If people knew the benefits of fenugreek, they would treat themselves with it and buy fenugreek at the price of gold.

(Makaram al-Akhlaq, p. 188, Jafariyat, Ibn Ash’ath, p. 245.)

Fenugreek benefits in Medical

Fenugreek is used as the seeds of Trigonella foenum graecum or its varieties and cultivars.

Classification:

Kingdom Plantae

Subkingdom Tracheobionta Superdivision Spermatophyta

Division	Magnoliophyta
Class	Magnoliopsida
Subclass	Rosidae
Order	Fabales
Family	Fabaceae
Genus	Trigonella L.
Species	Trigonella foenum-graecum L.

Common Names:

Alholva, Bird’s Foot, Bockshornklee, Bockshornsame, Fenugreek, Greek Clover, Greek Hay, Greek Hay Seed, Hu Lu Ba, Methi etc.

Botanical Description:

A member of the bean family, fenugreek grows as an erect annual with long, slender stems reaching 30 to 60 cm in height. The plant bears grey-green, tripartite, toothed leaves. White or pale yellow flowers appear in summer and develop into long, slender, sword-shaped seed pods with a curved, beak-like tip. Each pod contains about 10 to 20 small, yellowish-brown, angular seeds. The plant thrives in full sun on rich, well-drained soils and has a spicy odor that remains on the hands after contact.

Plant Part Used:

Seeds and leaves

Chemistry:

Major Active constituents: Saponins, Glycosides, Glactomannan etc.

The leaves contain at least 7 saponins, known as graecunins. These compounds are glycosides of diosgenin (2). Seeds contain 0.1% to 0.9% diosgenin and are extracted on a commercial basis (3,4). Plant tissue cultures from seeds grown under optimal conditions have been found to produce as much as 2% diosgenin with smaller amounts of gitongenin and trigogenin. The seeds also contain the saponin fenugrin B (5). Several coumarin compounds have been identified in fenugreek seeds (6) as well as a number of alkaloids (eg, trigonelline, gentianine, carpaine). A large proportion of the trigonelline is degraded to nicotinic acid and related pyridines during roasting. These degradation products are, in part, responsible for the flavor of the seed. The seeds also yield as much as 8% of a fixed, foul-smelling oil.

The C-glycoside flavones vitexin, vitexin glycoside, and the arabinoside isoorientin have been isolated from the plant (7). Three minor steroidal sapogenins also have been found in the seeds: smilagenin, sarsapogenin, and yuccagenin (8).

The mucilages of the seeds of several plants, including fenugreek, have been determined and their hydrolysates analyzed (9). Fenugreek gel consists chiefly of galactomannans characterized by their high water-holding capacity. These galactomannans have a unique structure and may be responsible for some of the characteristic therapeutic properties attributed to fenugreek (1).

Medicinal uses:

Fenugreek is used for digestive problems such as loss of appetite, upset stomach, constipation, and inflammation of the stomach (gastritis). It is also used for conditions that affect heart health such as “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis) and for high blood levels of certain fats including cholesterol andtriglycerides.

Fenugreek is used for kidney ailments, a vitamin deficiency disease called beriberi, mouth ulcers, boils, bronchitis, infection of the tissues beneath the surface of the skin (cellulitis), tuberculosis, chronic coughs, chapped lips, baldness, cancer, and lowering blood sugar in people with diabetes.

Men use fenugreek for hernia, erectile dysfunction (ED), and other male problems.

Women who are breast-feeding sometimes use fenugreek to promote milk flow.

Fenugreek is sometimes used as a poultice. That means it is wrapped in cloth, warmed and applied directly to the skin to treat local pain and swelling (inflammation), muscle pain, pain and swelling of lymph nodes (lymphadenitis), pain in the toes (gout), wounds, leg ulcers, and eczema.

 

Pharmacology & clinical:

The use of fenugreek has been limited by its bitter taste and pungent odor. Isolation of the biologically active components or production of a debittered extract, which would allow greater use of the plant, have been investigated (1).

Cholesterol-lowering effects

Fecal bile acid and cholesterol excretion are increased by fenugreek administration (1). This may be secondary to a reaction between the bile acids and fenugreek-derived saponins causing the formation of micelles too large for the digestive tract to absorb. Another hypothesis attributes the cholesterol-lowering activities to the fiber-rich gum portion of the seed that reduces the rate of hepatic synthesis of cholesterol. It is likely that both mechanisms contribute to the overall effect.

Studies have clearly demonstrated the cholesterol-lowering activity of fenugreek (10, 11, 12, 13). In a typical study, fractions of fenugreek seeds were added to the diets of diabetic hypercholesterolemic subjects. The defatted fraction, which contains about 54% fiber and about 5% steroidal saponins, lowered plasma cholesterol, blood glucose, and plasma glucagon levels from pretreatment values in both groups (10). The hypocholesterolemic effect has been reproduced (11, 14). Administration of the fiber-rich fraction of fenugreek to diabetic subjects lowered total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low density lipoprotein (LDL) (15). The level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) was increased.

Serum triglycerides were reduced from baseline in patients with newly-diagnosed, mild, type-2 diabetes mellitus who received a hydroalcoholic extract of fenugreek seeds 1 g/day (16). Total cholesterol and proportions of LDL and HDL fractions were not altered by treatment. A systematic review identified 5 other randomized clinical trials (N = 140) investigating the cholesterol-lowering effects of fenugreek seeds (17). Reductions (15% to 33%) of serum cholesterol from baseline were reported in all the trials identified. One small study using an aqueous extract of fenugreek leaves in healthy volunteers showed cholesterol reductions compared with control subjects after a single dose. Dose-dependent hypocholesterolemic effects of germinated fenugreek seeds also have been demonstrated (18). Total serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were reduced, while HDL cholesterol remained unchanged.

Glucose-lowering effects

The galactomannan-rich soluble fiber fraction of fenugreek may be responsible for the antidiabetic activity of the seeds (1). Insulinotrophic and antidiabetic properties also have been associated with the amino acid 4-hydroxyisoleucine that occurs in fenugreek at a concentration of about 0.55%. In vitro studies have indicated that this amino acid causes direct pancreatic βcell stimulation. Delayed gastric emptying and inhibition of glucose transport also have been postulated as possible mechanisms (16).

Multiple studies have been undertaken to demonstrate the glucose-lowering effects of fenugreek (15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23). A typical study evaluated the hypoglycemic effects of the seeds. The defatted fraction of the seeds lowered blood glucose levels, plasma glucagons, and somatostatin levels; carbohydrateinduced hyperglycemia also was reduced (24).

Glycemic control was improved in a small study of patients with mild type-2 diabetes mellitus (16). A reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA _1c ) levels and increased insulin sensitivity were observed in fenugreek recipients. The preparation was well tolerated, with no patients withdrawing from the study because of adverse effects. Patients receiving the fenugreek preparation also were allowed to receive adjuvant antidiabetic preparations if required; caution is advised in the interpretation of these results.

Because the seeds contain up to 50% of mucilaginous fiber, they have been used in the preparation of topical poultices and emollients; internally this ability to swell in volume has been utilized to relieve constipation and diarrhea.

Reduction in cataract incidence has been demonstrated in diabetic rats receiving an extract of fenugreek seeds and leaves (25). After 115 days of treatment, cataracts were diagnosed in 25% of fenugreek recipients compared with 100% of diabetic controls. Oral administration of fenugreek seed fractions resulted in dose-dependent gastric protection against the effects of ethanol (a necrotizing agent) (26). The seeds were as effective as omeprazole, a clinically-recognized antiulcer agent. Ulcer scores indicated that the soluble gel fraction was more effective than the aqueous extract or omeprazole.

Dosage

There is no established standard dosage for daily purslane consumption, as it largely depends on personal preference, health status, and individual nutritional needs. However, purslane can be consumed as part of a well-balanced diet in moderate amounts. Here are some general guidelines:

 

1. Fresh Purslane: If you are consuming fresh purslane, you can include it in salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, or smoothies. Adding a handful (approximately 50-100 grams) of fresh purslane to your meals a few times per week can be a good starting point.

 

1. Cooked Purslane: If you prefer cooked purslane, you can lightly steam, sauté or add it to soups, stews, or casseroles. Cooked purslane may slightly reduce its vitamin C content but can still provide other beneficial nutrients

Purslane contains various phytochemicals, such as flavonoids and betalain pigments, which have shown potential antiobesity effects.

Rue (sadaab)

Watercress (Jarjeer)

The Prophet says. If someone takes jarjeer in the night,There is fear that he will get vitiligo in the morning.(Al-Mahasan, In Vol. 2, p. 324)

It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah(a.s) having said: The man would not fill himself up with the watercress after he has Prayed al-Isha the last, so he sleeps during that night, except that his soul would pull him towards the leprosy.( Al Kafi V 6 “ The Book of Foodstuffs Ch 115 H 1)

Imam Ali Raza (a.s) says, “Whoever wants to reduce his forgetfulness and increase his memory.” He should eat three pieces of ginger jam dipped in honey in the morning and should include mustard in his diet.

(Al-Risalah al-Dhahabiyah, Imam Reza (a.s.), p. 36.)

 

 

Ginger and Mustard benefits in Medical

1. Anti-inflammatory effects: Both ginger and mustard have anti-inflammatory properties that may help protect the brain from damage and promote cognitive function. Chronic inflammation has been linked to conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline.

(Source: “The End of Alzheimer’s” by Dale Bredesen)

 

1. Cardiovascular health: Mustard may help support cardiovascular health, which is important for brain function. The brain requires a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients, which are delivered by the cardiovascular system. (Source: “The

Brain Health Book” by John Randolph)

 

1. Digestive health: Both ginger and mustard may improve digestive health, which is important for overall nutrient absorption and gut-brain communication. The gut microbiome has been increasingly recognized as a key factor in brain health and cognitive function. (Source: “Brain Wash” by David Perlmutter and Austin Perlmutter)

 

1. Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and it contains bioactive compounds such as gingerol and zingerone. These compounds have been studied for their potential neuroprotective effects, which means they may help protect brain cells from damage. However, most of the research on ginger’s neurological effects has been conducted in animal or cell culture studies, and the direct impact on human memory and brain function is not yet wellestablished.

 

1. Mustard, on the other hand, is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for brain health. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play a crucial role in the structure and function of the brain. They have been associated with improved cognitive function and a reduced risk of age-related cognitive decline. However, the amount of omega-3 fatty acids found in mustard is relatively low compared to other sources like fatty fish (e.g., salmon) or fish oil supplements.

 

 

 

Turnip

Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says: Give importance to the turnip and eat it constantly and hide it from others but yourself; And every person has a vein of leprosy, so eat turnips and get rid of it.

Ahadith Al-Shi’a: Vol. 5, p. 358, H. 12.

Imam Kazim (a.s.): Eat turnips, because there is no one who does not have a vein of leprosy, and turnips burn this vein.(Kafi/vol 372/6)

Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says: There is no such thing, in which there is no Leprosy vein. To remove this gene from yourself, eat turnips during the (turnip) season. (Bihar/vol 66/S220)

Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) said! If you have a turnip, eat it, because no one is a slave unless it has the leprosy gene and the turnip melts it away.

(Al-Kafi, Al-Kalini, I-Islamiyyah, Vol. 6, p. 372.)

That is, I asked the Imam whether I should eat turnips uncooked or cooked. Hazrat said that both ways are good to eat. (Mustadrak, Noori, Vol. 16, p. 428.)

Refined salt:

Side effect of Refined Salt

Commonly used household salt. It is refined and iodine and chemicals are added. It is usually white in color also known as table salt is a common type of salt that has undergone a refining process to remove impurities and minerals. While it is an essential mineral that our bodies need to function properly, consuming excessive amounts of refined salt can lead to health Problems .This salt is not beneficial for health. It causes many diseases

 

One of the primary concerns with refined salt is that it is often heavily processed and stripped of its natural minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium. This can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes in the body and contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease, liver and other health issues.

 

Refined salt, also known as table salt, is a commonly used seasoning in many households. However, excessive consumption of refined salt can have negative effects on health. Here are some potential side effects and diseases associated with refined salt intake, along with references to books that provide further information on the topic:

 

1. High Blood Pressure: One of the well-known effects of refined salt consumption is an increased risk of high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a significant risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. Salt intake affects blood pressure by increasing the volume of blood in the bloodstream.

Reference:

Book – “Hypertension: A Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease” by George L. Bakris, Matthew Sorrentino, and Joseph T. Flynn.

1. Kidney Disease: Refiend salt intake can put a strain on the kidneys, leading to the development or progression of kidney disease. The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance and filtering waste products from the blood. When salt intake is high, the kidneys have to work harder to eliminate the excess sodium, which can contribute to kidney damage over time.

Reference:

Book – “Chronic Kidney Disease: Dialysis and Transplantation” by Jonathan Himmelfarb and Mohamed H. Sayegh.

 

1. Osteoporosis: Consuming too much Refiend salt can increase calcium excretion through urine, which can potentially lead to a loss of calcium from bones. Over time, this calcium loss can weaken bones and increase the risk of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by reduced bone density and increased fracture risk.

Reference:

Book – “Osteoporosis: Pathophysiology and Clinical Management” by Eric S. Orwoll, Michael Bliziotes, and John P.

Bilezikian.

 

1. Stomach Cancer: Some studies have suggested a possible link between high- refiend salt diets and an increased risk of stomach cancer. Excessive salt consumption may damage the stomach lining, leading to inflammation and an increased susceptibility to cancer development.

Reference:

Book – “Stomach Cancer: Basic Science, Treatment and

Research” by Jaffer A. Ajani.

In addition, refined salt is often treated with additives such as anti-caking agents and iodine, which can be harmful in large amounts. Some people may also be sensitive to these additives and experience adverse reactions.

Electrolyte balance is essential for many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, hydration, and blood pressure regulation.

 

1. Skin Health: Black salt is sometimes used in skincare products because of its exfoliating properties. It can help to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, which can improve the appearance of the skin.

Regularly soaking in Himalayan salt can be a great way to remove toxins from our bodies. This is due to the process of – osmosis- where our bodies absorb the salt minerals while simultaneously releasing toxins. A Himalayan salt soak can also help to reduce inflammation and balance our skin’s PH levels. There is a lot of hype surrounding Himalayan salt and its supposed health benefits. However, the scientific evidence to support many of these claims is limited. That being said, here are some of the minerals, vitamins, and chemicals found in Himalayan salt and their potential benefits:

Taking Salt before and after meal benefits in Medical

Salt aids digestion by assisting in the breakdown of meals. Hydrochloric acid is also produced by salt. The stomach walls are lined with hydrochloric acid, which is a key digesting secretion. Thus, salt helps your body digest meals.

 

Taste is a chemical sensation. Salt stimulates the taste buds of the tongue to their maximum, thus increasing secretion. Saliva thus secreted helps in the process of mastication of food, and in the preparation of the food into a bolus, suitable for digestion.

Saliva also has digestive and bacteriolytic action.

 

Salt activates an enzyme in the mouth called salivary amylase. At this point, the salt allows your taste buds to taste the food.

Salt also plays a role in digestion by helping to break down food.

Benefits in medical

Sheep may have some potential benefits for heart arteries, particularly through compound called omega-3 fatty acids. Here’s some information on how sheep and their products, such as meat and milk, can potentially contribute to heart health:

1. Omega-3 fatty acids: Sheep meat, especially from grass-fed sheep, can contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to conventionally raised livestock. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have cardiovascular benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease. These fatty acids help lower triglyceride levels, decrease blood clotting, and improve blood vessel function.
2. Lower saturated fat: Sheep meat is generally leaner than other red meats such as beef or pork. Reducing saturated fat intake is important for maintaining heart health, as high levels of saturated fat can increase cholesterol levels and contribute to heart disease.

 

1. Nutrient content: Sheep meat is a good source of essential nutrients like protein, vitamins (B vitamins, iron, zinc), and minerals (selenium, phosphorus). A well-balanced diet that includes these nutrients can support overall cardiovascular health.
2. Dairy products: Sheep milk and dairy products derived from sheep milk, such as cheese, may also provide some heart health benefits. These products can contain omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients beneficial to heart health. However, it’s worth noting that sheep milk and dairy products are less commonly consumed compared to cow’s milk products.

Imam Jafir Sadiq as

We can cure cold with hot and hot with cold, humidity with dryness and dryness with humidity and will entrust the affairs to God.

Safeenat al-Bihar, vol. 2, p. 77.

Fresh Fruit in TCM and Islamic Medicine

Islamic Medicine

The benefits of eating fruits that are in the season. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that fruits eaten in the season are beneficial and not those ones that come at the end of the season.Benefits of doing this are that it relieves the heart from sorrow and grief.

Bahar vol 14 Encyclopedia of Medical Hadiths, vol. 2, p. 137

TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) generally recommends consuming fresh fruits over old or overly ripe ones. In TCM, the emphasis is on balance and the concept of “qi” (pronounced “chee”), which represents the body’s vital energy. Fresh fruits are believed to have a higher concentration of qi and are considered more beneficial for health

Fruits with Peel in Islamic Medicine and TCM

In Islamic medicine, it is forbidden to peel apples, oranges extra , which are common soft-skinned fruits

Imam Jafir (a.s) didn’t like peeling and eating fruits he preferred them with the peels.

Al-Kafi, vol 6, p. 350, h 3.

TCM Fruit Peels

Balancing Energy: TCM emphasizes the balance of yin and yang energies in the body. Some fruit peels, like apple and pear, are considered cooling in nature, helping to balance excessive heat or yang energy.

Detoxification: Certain fruit peels, such as citrus peels, are believed to have detoxifying properties and may help eliminate toxins from the body

Fruit Benefits in TCM and Islamic Medicine

Quince /Pear (Yellow Color )

Imam Ali (a.s) has said eating quince is the strength of the heart and it is the life of the heart, makes the weak hearted brave it cleans the stomach, makes the heart fresh and makes the coward strong. Women who eat this give birth to beautiful children.

Tofa Al-Aqool p 101 , Sadiq Imam, Musawa 9 p. 713 Imam Jafar Sadiq a.s says:

Pear improves the stomach and gives it strength.

Quince are pear are equal

Pear should be eaten after food when the stomach is full and quince when the stomach is empty in the morning, especially for people who have heaviness of the heart.

Al Kafi vol 6 p. 35

TCM

Quince and pears are yellow in color which strengthens the stomach according to TCM.

Walnut

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) says:

Eat walnuts in winter as it keeps the kidneys warm and gets rid of the cold. Walnuts should be avoided in summer as it causes rashes on the body

Al-Mahasan, Volume 2, page 524

TCM

Warming Properties:In TCM Walnuts are believed to have warming properties, which means they can help to increase warmth and energy in the body. This is especially beneficial in colder weather or for individuals with a cold constitution.

Nourishing Kidney Yin: Walnuts are considered a Yin tonic in TCM, and they are particularly associated with nourishing Kidney Yin. In TCM philosophy, the Kidney is responsible for storing the body’s essential Yin and Yang energies. Yin represents the cooling and nourishing aspects of energy, and Kidney Yin is essential for maintaining overall balance and vitality.
