DA MALO REZIMIRAMO

Prošlo je gotovo mjesec dana kako nisam bio na poslu. Bijah uzeo 3 tjedna godišnjeg, koji sam manje-više proveo kod kuće, u obližnjoj birtiji i na raznoraznim okupljanjima sa dragim mi ljudima. Nisam išao na more, vrijeme je bilo za drek, al’ vele mudri ljudi – bit će bolje. Ovaj zadnji tjedan me uhvatila neka trbušna gripa, pa sam svako malo morao juriti tamo gdje carevi idu pješke. Ne moram vam reći da sam pročitao tonu tiskovina lagano kontemplirajući na tome mjestu. Da stvar bude još ljepša, u tom sam razdoblju završio i u Perkovčevoj, jer me tamo bila uputila moja zubarka. Imam jedan gadan zub za vaditi, a ona to kao ne može, jer ga nema za kaj ufatiti. Tako da sam jučer, ranim jutrom bio u prepunoj čekaonici na odjelu zubne kirurgije. Došao je red i na mene. Ja otvorim čvalje, zubar baci pogled i pita me, jel’ bi ja to danas vadio ili da me naruče. Pa reko’, ajd, kad sam se već dignuo u praskozorje, neka to bude obavljeno danas. Poslal me da nekaj pojedem, ispunim neki njihov formular u kojem se oni ograđuju od gotovo svih posljedica koje mogu nastati operacijom i da se vratim za pola sata. Uspio sam sve obaviti i vratim se nazad. Opet sjednem, razjapim čvalje, a doktor mi pukne 2 injekcije anestetika (lokalnog – na žalost). Poslao me u čekaonicu sa naputkom da ne pobjegne, nego da se vratim za 15 minuta. Nakon 15 minuta pola face mi je bilo oduzeto, a na televiziji je taman bio Al Bundy, tako da sam se smješkao samo sa pola lica. Totalno glupi osjećaj. Sjednem po treći puta u zubarsku stolicu, mislim si, samo da to brzo obavi, da mogu nazad u krevet. E, ljudi moji, kada je on navalio sa nekim komadom metala, ja mislio da će mi mozak iskočiti kroz uši. “Boli?”, pita. Rekoh, ne škaklja, naravno da boli, daj još te droge. I uvali mi još jednu injekciju. Nakon 10 minuta, eto njega opet u mojim ustima sa onim istim metalnim instrumentom i – opet navali. Kako je počeo kopati, meni graški znoja na čelu. “Pa, hebote, ne bi smjelo boljeti, ne osjećam pola glave!”, pomislim i u tom trenutku me tako sasjekla bol da su mi suze štrcnule barem pola metra. I opet on mene pita “Boli?”. Samo sam uspio kimnuti glavom. I tak, malo si on razmišlja i dođe do zaključka da mi je zub vjerojatno upaljen, pa mi je napisal’ recept za neke antibiotike i naručil me za sljedeću srijedu. A ja, eto, sjedim tu za kompom i družim se sa bočicom Ketonala i svojim blogom. Blah! No, da, vele ljudi – i to će proći.

MISO

Da se malo osvrnem na tematiku – zdravlje.

Tema: Hatcho Miso, oliti fermentirana soja.

Podosta o njemu napisao je drug Podravec, pa za njegovo viđenje istog, klikni OVDJE.

A ono što bih ja samo još želio skromno dodati na njegov post, jesu beneficije uzimanja istog:

Health effects of eating miso

Cancer prevention: Takeshi Hirayama of the National Cancer Centre Research Institute in Japan in 1981 found that cancer could be prevented by miso. According to his research, people who eat miso soup daily are correlated with 50% lower stomach cancer rates than people who do not eat miso soup at all. He also clarified that the vegetables accompanying miso soup also have cancer prevention effects. In 1992, Akihiro Ito from the Research Institute for Radiation Biology and Medicine (Hiroshima University) also revealed that miso has such effects on mice. Male mice were divided into 2 groups and received neutron radiation. One group of mice was fed normal food as usual and 62% of them got liver cancer although only 13% of another group, which had 10% of miso in their food, got liver cancer.

Detoxifying radioactive substance: In Hiroshima, the aftermath of radiation was investigated by some researchers and according to a report, some people who had eaten miso suffered less from radiation disease. Akihiro Ito at Hiroshima University confirmed the effects by using mice. He divided mice into 4 groups and fed normal food, food with 10% of dried red miso, food with 10% of soy sause and food with the same amount of salt as miso to the groups. 3 days later, the mice were examined for the survival rates of their hepatocytes of small inestinal mucous membrane. In the results, the rate of the group which had miso was the highest and moreover some of the damaged cells in the mice which had miso or soy sause reproduced themselves. This is known widely in Europe as well and miso was exported in large amounts in the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986.

Antiaging: Vitamin E, amino acids, saponin, melanoidin, lipofuscin and so on in miso have antioxidant punch. To remain young and maintain health, it is important to get rid of active oxygen that force substances in the body to be oxidised. Hiromichi Katoh from Otsuma Women’s University disclosed how well miso controls active oxygen in 1995. According to his research, active oxygen was greately controlled in both normal and low-sodium miso but low-sodium miso had greater effects. Low-sodium miso such as Hatcho Miso has a more beneficial impact on health. Supporting the research, Tokugawa Ieyasu lived to 75 years old when the average life expectation was 37.8 years old. He tried to maintain his health and had 5 different types of leaf vegetables and 3 kinds of root vegetables in miso soup everyday.

Aid digestion: Soy protein itself is poorly assimilated but it transforms itself through enzymes and microorganisms in the fermentation process to be assimilated easily. It also contains active digestive enzymes, which help digestion of other

Detoxifying: Microorganisms in miso discharge putrefactive bacteria and harmful substance from the intestines

Arteriosclerosis prevention

Control of blood pressure

Whitening and stain removal

Removal of soy allergen

Negating the effects of smoking

The perfect cure for hangovers!!!!! (apparently)

Bone-thinning prevention

and so on.

E, sad, što se okusa dotikavlja, meni on sam po sebi nije ukusan (onak, ak ga probaš samog ili samo sa vručom vodom), ali u kombinaciji sa pravom povrtnom juhom, savršen.

Miso se u juhe dodaje netom nakon kuhanja, jer se kuhanjem izgube svi toliko važni enzimi u njemu, te gubi svoju svrhu i funkcionalnost.

BIG BROTHER STIŽE

Zamislite si, stojite na semaforu, vama crveno, nigdje ni jednog jedinog auta i krenete lagano. Kad, odjednom: “Prekršili ste zakon o prometu član taj i taj, bit će vam poslana kazna na kućnu adresu”. Vi se okrećete, nigdje nikoga…samo jedna kamera na stupu i 2 velika zvučnika. Budućnost? Ne, sadašnjost, ali zasada samo u Engleskoj, što ne znači da uskoro nećemo takve uređaje gledati i na našim ulicama.. Ne samo da ih prate kamerama na svakih 30-50 metara, nego su sada dodali još i zvučnu podlogu u vidu jakih zvučnika. Ne znam kak vama, al’ meni je to pre strašno. Evo i link na cijeli tekst, danas izašlo na Daily Mail-u.

Mene jedino zanima, koliko to ljudi treba zaposliti da nadgledaju sve te kamere. Izgleda da čika Orwel nije ni puno fulao u svojoj “1984″. Treba se malo zamisliti nad svime, koliko je naša “sigurnost”, važnija od naše privatnosti? Sve mi to izgleda kao neki novi 3. Reich, koji nam se galopirajućom brzinom nezaustavljivo približava. Blah!!!

Big Brother is shouting at you
Last updated at 21:02pm on 16th September 2006

Big Brother is not only watching you – now he’s barking orders too. Britain’s first ‘talking’ CCTV cameras have arrived, publicly berating bad behaviour and shaming offenders into acting more responsibly.

The system allows control room operators who spot any anti-social acts – from dropping litter to late-night brawls – to send out a verbal warning: ‘We are watching you’.

Middlesbrough has fitted loudspeakers on seven of its 158 cameras in an experiment already being hailed as a success. Jack Bonner, who manages the system, said: ‘It is one hell of a deterrent. It’s one thing to know that there are CCTV cameras about, but it’s quite another when they loudly point out what you have just done wrong.

‘Most people are so ashamed and embarrassed at being caught they quickly slink off without further trouble.

‘There was one incident when two men started fighting outside a nightclub. One of the control room operators warned them over the loudspeakers and they looked up, startled, stopped fighting and scarpered in opposite directions.

NAŠA ZDENKA

Danas mi je uletjela draga i pobjedonosno izjavila da si je kupila svoj omiljeni sir „Zdenka – Čardaš“, a ja, ne budi lijen, rekoh da provjerim koje oni to konzervanse koriste. Od 3, 2 su štetna, pa ti sad vidi. Većina će samo odmahnuti rukom, no većina je ona koja uglavnom na kraju trpi posljedice (nažalost).

Piše ‘vako: E450, E452 i E339

E450 – Excessive use may lead to imbalance of mineral levels, which could potentially lead to damage to bone density and osteoporosis.

E452 – None known when used in foods. High concentrations of phosphates may disturb several metabolic processes as phosphate plays an important role in general metabolism.

E339 – Kalijev citrat, bezopasan (bar tako tvrde)

 

Dobar tek

OTOK DOKTORA MOREAU-A

Prije nekih 10 godina izašao je gorespomenuti film. Onako, podosta zanimljiv i podosta dobrih specijalnih efekata. Uglavnom, za one koji ne znaju o čemu se radi, neki ludi naučnik klonira i miješa ljudske i životinjske gene, te tako dobiva nove „vrste“. Da sad ne bi sve ostalo samo sajens-fikšn, evo i nekoliko slika koje trenutno kolaju net-om. Navodno se ovo nasukalo negdje na Jordanskoj obali. Sad, ak je vjerovati slikama, možda se neki ludi Moreau stvarno negdje na nekom otočiću igra stvoritelja?
