VIVAnews - Biarlah makanan menjadi obatmu. Kata-kata tabib Yunani kuno bernama Hippocrates itu begitu populer di dunia kedokteran. Pesan itulah yang kemudian mendorong para ilmuwan mencari tahu manfaat makanan bagi kesehatan tubuh.
Selama bertahun-tahun, para ahli gizi melakukan penelitian untuk mengidentifikasi manfaat nutrisi dari makanan tertentu. Mereka mempelajari protein, karbohidrat, kalori, lemak, mineral dan vitamin untuk menentukan manfaat kesehatan bagi tubuh manusia.
Berikut sejumlah makanan yang memberi banyak manfaat untuk tubuh, seperti dikutip laman Methods of Healing.
1. Madu
Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa madu mengandung antibakteri dan antivirus. Studi lebih dalam menyebut madu bermanfaat untuk menyembuhkan luka dan baik untuk kesehatan pencernaan.
2. Green Tea
Penelitian menunjukkan, teh hijau membantu mengurangi risiko kanker, stroke, dan penyakit jantung. Teh hijau juga diyakini membantu mencegah penyakit diabetes tipe dua dan osteoporosis, serta meredakan radang usus.
3. Kenari
Makan 1,5 ons kenari setiap hari bisa menjadi makanan diet rendah lemak jenuh dan kolesterol yang dapat mengurangi risiko penyakit jantung koroner.
4. Blueberry
Adalah salah satu buah dengan tingkat antioksidan tinggi. Kandungan zat di dalamnya membantu memperlambat penuaan, mengurangi risiko diabetes, menurunkan kolesterol, meningkatkan keterampilan motorik, serta menunjang kesehatan kemih dan penglihatan. Blueberry juga memiliki sifat antiinflamasi.
5. Delima
Sebagai buah kaya antioksidan, sebuah penelitian menunjukkan bahwa delima membantu mengurangi risiko penyakit jantung dan menurunkan tekanan darah. Bahkan, membantu menurunkan kolesterol dan mengurangi risiko kanker tertentu.
6. Rempah-rempah
Kayu manis membantu menurunkan kolesterol dan menstabilkan gula darah. Jahe membantu memperbaiki kesehatan pencernaan, dan mengandung antiinflamasi. Manfaat jahe sebagai pencegah kanker juga tengah dipelajari. Sementara sifat antiinflamasi kunyit diyakini dapat memperlambat perkembangan penyakit Alzheimer serta mengurangi risiko kanker.
7. Yogurt
Yang terbaik adalah yogurt polos. Kandungan kalsium, magnesium, Vitamin B-2 & B-12, dan probiotik yang dikenal sebagai bakteri baik dalam usus, bermanfaat menyehatkan sistem pencernaan serta kekebalan tubuh. Konsumsi yogurt secara teratur juga diyakini membantu menurunkan kolesterol.
8. Cokelat hitam
Jenis cokelat ini menawarkan manfaat baik bagi sistem kardiovaskular serta perlindungan dari kanker. Tak hanya itu, mengonsumsi cokelat hitam juga bisa membangkitkan suasana hati yang baik untuk kesehatan emosional dan mental.
9. Salmon
Salmon kaya omega-3 asam lemak dan protein, rendah kalori, rendah lemak jenuh, dan memiliki sifat antiinflamasi. Manfaat kesehatan ikan salmon termasuk pencegahan diabetes, Alzheimer, kanker serta menyehatkan sistem kardiovaskular.
10. Brokoli
Brokoli penuh dengan vitamin seperti asam folat, vitamin A, B6 dan K. Mineral seperti kalsium dan kalium membuatnya lebih sehat. Brokoli dianggap sebagai makanan penyembuhan yang diaktifkan oleh phytochemical indole-3-carbinol dan sulforaphane, membantu melawan kanker.

Chlorella has been found to enhance immunity
quote: "Chlorella has been found to enhance immunity, increasing
production of the antiviral, anticancer immune factor,
interferon, as well as the activity of T cells and macrophages
against viral invaders and cancer cells. Its well-documented
cleansing effects in the liver are believed to further support the
body’s natural resistance against diseases, including those
caused by viruses."

features of chlorella, a small green one-celled algae
quote: "Chlorella is a small green one-celled algae which has lived in fresh water for over 2.5 billion years. First discovered in the late 1800s by a Dutch biologist, it contains over 50% protein and the highest concentration of chlorophyll and nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) of any known plant. Non-toxic, it is an ideal food as well as a natural medicine.
Clinical studies and medical researches showed that:
1. Chlorella can detoxify toxins such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic,
pesticides, uranium, insecticides, P.C.B. etc. from the human body.
2. Chlorella stimulates the immune system: Chlorella stimulates the production of interferons, macrophages and T cells,
thus functioning as an immune stimulant.
3. Chlorella has a wide range of healing properties such as: wound healing,
treating pancreatitis, pyorrhea (bleeding of the gums and loose teeth), P.M.S.,
arthritis, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, constipation, chronic fatigue
syndrome, cancer, heart diseases and many other common and rare diseases."

chlorella's characteristic of absorbing toxic substances
quote: "This characteristic of absorbing toxic substances from its surroundings and eliminating them from the body is an extremely important discovery. These toxins such as heavy metals, radio active materials, hydrocarbon pesticides and insecticides may be found in our water, air, and food chain. This in turn creates diseases, including cancers, allergies, skin problems, neurological disorders, etc. Chlorella, a natural substance, has the characteristics to treat these toxin related problems."
"At the Department of the Immunology, Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu University, Japan, Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF, a hot water extract of chlorella that contains nucleic acid derivatives, amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, sugars, etc.) was injected into mice that were then inoculated with cancer cells. It showed that the CGF stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (a type of white blood cell) to attack the cancer cells, prolonging the lives of the mice as compared to the controlled group of mice that had not received CGF."
"Chlorella neutralizes the acidic body into slightly alkaline. According to the research of a Japanese doctor, consuming meats and rich foods, stress and pollution cause the body to become acidic, thus allowing diseases to occur. When a human body ages, it fails to retain water, potassium, and sodium as efficiently as before, therefore causing the body to become acidic also. Taking chlorella can neutralize the body to a slightly alkaline form, because chlorella is known as the most alkaline food and has the ability to balance the pH of the body. He advised his patients to use chlorella as an anti aging food as well as to treat many different diseases."

chlorella and spirulina
quote: "Most people have heard of chlorella and spirulina, but they don't really know the details of why these are truly the best food sources on the planet. For example, did you know that, ounce per ounce, spirulina contains twelve times the digestible protein of beef? It's a far better protein than beef, and it contains a much healthier mineral balance (such as magnesium) that just isn't found in beef."

U-Fn: 35% U-Fucoidan Extract
U-fucoidan extract can cure cancer
quote: "There has been a great deal of research done in Japan and in Europe on the ability of a polysaccharide from seaweed to fight cancer, U-Fucoidan. In research it was discovered to cause cancer cells to self-destruct. This activity and other
tumor fighting activity has been found in numerous other studies in Europe, and makes this 35% concentration a top pick. It is also excellent for dealing with an enlarged and painful prostate.
Although U-fucoidan is found in other seaweeds and plants such as wakame, mozuku, and hijiki, kombu (Laminaria japonica) is distinctively rich in this substance.
Brown seaweed has been found continuously to be the most beneficial among other seaweeds and plants.
Polysaccharide found in the seaweed kombu, U-fucoidan, discovered to cause cancer cells to self-destruct.
Biomedical Research Laboratories (Takara Shuzo, Japan) and their research partners have discovered that a polysaccharide known as U-fucoidan, found in brown
seaweed, causes various types of established cancer cell lines to self-destruct.
These researchers have confirmed that fucoidan has anti-tumour properties and causes certain types of rapidly growing cancer cells to self-destruct. Examples of cancer
cell strains where this self-destruct phenomenon was observed include: Human acute promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60 cell line) Human stomach cancer cells (AGS
cell line Human colon cancer cells (HCT-116 cell line Cancer cells of the descending colon (SW-480 cell line/WiDr cell line) This self-destruction was observed to take place without affecting normal cells."
