You're So HOT! Health Benefits of Eating Chili

Is there such a thing? Of course! Chili are plants = plants are healthy food, therefore eating chili is healthy. Nampak tak permainannya disitu?

There are more than 200 varieties of chili around the world, coloured anything from yellow to green to red to black, and varying in heat from mildly warm to mouth-blisteringly hot.

The hottest are usually the smallest: habanero orange, African bird's eye and Scotch bonnet. Green chillies are unripe, so usually aren't as hot as red ones. The active ingredient is capsaicin, most of which comes from the seeds and the veins. So if you prefer your chili milder, try a green one and remove the seeds before chopping.

So what are the health benefits of eating chili?

1. Rich in vitamin C - Chili contain up to seven times the vitamin C level of an orange!

2. Contains antioxidants - They are also good in other antioxidants like vitamin A, and flavonoids like ß-carotene, α-carotene, lutein, zea-xanthin, and cryptoxanthin.

3. It is rich in minerals - They contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase

4. It is loaded with B Vitamins - Chilies are also good in B-complex group of vitamins such as niacin, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), riboflavin and thiamin (vitamin B-1).

Chili peppers have amazingly high levels of vitamins and minerals. Just 100 g provides (in % of recommended daily allowance):

240% of vitamin-C (Ascorbic acid),
39% of vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine),
32% of vitamin A,
13% of iron,
14% of copper,
7% of potassium,
but no cholesterol.

Sebab itu la cili kena cakap, kecil-kecil cili padi. Walaupun kecil tapi penuh dengan vitamin dan mineral gittuuu.

Peribahasa baru: Siapa yang makan cili, dia la yang dapat vitamin kan. Hihi.

Beauty In Its Simplicity

Photo courtesy of Paul I've known Renna from many years ago, back to the days when both of us are still students. Along with few other friends, we were always cramped into 22B on the weekends, doing a lot of foolish crazy things. We shared many memories of trips with the late Dr.Jugah and his family. Oohh those were the days. And then, life happens and most of us parted ways. Usually meeting up again during weddings. Renna and I were the kind of friends who don't talk on a regular basis but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. Of course, as she is friends with my family, she is also a family friend. God sometimes always works in a mysterious way. Who would have thought that many years down the road from when we were just measly students, Renna would marry my brother's good friend? The story started when my brother asked his friend/colleague, Corbin to tag along for a lunch meet up with Renna, and then they say, the rest is history. I'm tr...

Pulau Perhentian Travelogue Day 2: Ayuh Snorkelling Mencari Nemo

Pulau Perhentian Travelogue Day 2: Ayuh Snorkelling Mencari Nemo Wow banyaknya anak ikan. Aummm Belum baca cerita Day 1? Klik disini ye. Pagi-pagi buta seawal pukul 7.30 pagi iols dah bangun. Bangun awal sebab semangat nak terjah breakfast buffet hotel. Yang agak mengecewakan, weols semua 10 orang tapi yang hotel bagi complimentary untuk 6 orang sahaja. Jadinya yang 4 orang lagi tu makan megi dan roti dalam bilik jeh. Kalau tak complimentary, the breakfast buffet is RM30 per person. Hmm. I somehow think it's not worth it So weols rotate la. Hari ni iols breakfast kat restoran, besoknya iols breakfast dalam bilik. Our fav spot Restoran Sharila resort ni ada outdoor seating. Favourite spot weols is the gazebo on the cliff, overlooking the sea, serenaded by the sound of the waves. Such a wonderful experience. Aktiviti Di Pulau Perhentian Day 2 weols decide untuk snorkelling. Ada banyak vendor untuk uols pilih kalau nak snorkelling ni tapi semua lebih kurang sama...
