Oleh Azran Jaffar,Berita Harian:DAGING kambing dikatakan sebagai panas, mereka yang menghidap penyakit tekanan darah tinggi mungkin tidak mahu mengambil daging kambing kerana percaya ia akan meningkatkan tekanan darah.Namun pandangan ini disanggah pakar bioteknologi pembiakan, Prof Dr Ramli Abdullah yang mana katanya, kadar lemak kambing hampir sama dengan ayam iaitu kira-kira tiga peratus.Apa yang berlaku ialah mereka mungkin mengambil daging kambing biri-biri kerana berbanding kambing, peratus lemak dalam biri-biri ialah sebanyak 16 peratus.Mengenai panas, sememangnya daging kambing panas dan kerana itu penduduk di negeri China gemar mengambil daging kambing pada musim sejuk kerana ia dapat memanaskan badan, katanya.Katanya, persepsi makan daging kambing boleh meningkatkan tekanan darah sudah lama di kalangan masyarakat kita dan apa yang berlaku, faktor psikologi yang mungkin meningkatkan tekanan darah seseorang.Ini kerana, persepsi itu sudah disematkan dalam kepala dan dengan mengambil daging kambing, secara psikologi ia mungkin meningkatkan tekanan darah kerana seseorang itu mungkin berasa risau terhadap kesan yang mungkin dialami, katanya.Digolongkan sebagai daging merah, daging kambing mempunyai rasa unik dan ia dikelaskan sebagai cabrito atau chevon bergantung kepada usia ternakan ini disembelih.Cabrito ialah daging kambing yang berusia seminggu dan banyak digunakan untuk tujuan barbeku serta digemari kumpulan etnik tertentu, manakala chevon pula daging kambing dewasa.Bagi 100 gram daging kambing yang dipanggang ia mengandungi 143 kalori, 27 gram protein, 3 gram lemak, 3.7 miligram zat besi, 85 miligram sodium dan 75 miligram kolestrol.Secara perbandingan, bagi setiap 3 auns daging kambing yang dimasak ia mengandungi 2.58 gram lemak dan 0.79 asid lemak tepu berbanding biri-biri yang mengandungi 16 gram lemak dan 7.3 asid lemak tepu.Kata Prof Ramli, ini jelas menunjukkan kadar lemak dan kolestrol pada daging kambing kurang daripada biri-biri dan lembu. Malah, sebuah universiti di New York juga menjalankan kajian yang mana daging kambing diberikan kepada penghidap penyakit kardiovaskular.Seperti juga dagingnya, susu kambing mempunyai khasiat tertentu dan dijadikan antara susu alternatif, tambahan kepada susu ibu. Ia dikatakan lebih mudah diresapi, rendah lemak serta laktosa dan kaya kandungan protein.Nikotinik asid yang terkandung di dalam susu kambing dikatakan membantu fungsi pencernaan, memperbaiki kesihatan kulit, meningkatkan pengaliran darah serta menghalang migrain juga menghilangkan bau nafas.Meminum segelas susu kambing panas sebelum tidur mampu memberikan tidur yang nyenyak dan ia juga baik bagi kanak-kanak dan orang dewasa yang menghadapi masalah kencing malam (bed-wetting).Sebuah buku yang ditulis untuk Majlis Penyelidikan Asma dan Persatuan Eczema Kebangsaan mencadangkan penggunaan produk berasaskan kambing bagi merawat lelah, eczema serta masalah kulit

1st Week afte a long Holiday...

It is football fever again. The world cup is in Channel one every day at 2-4 am. Yes, one needs to either sleep early and wake up before the game starts or don’t sleep at all, wait until the game is over. My wife likes to watch football while I’m not. She could talk about it while I’m totally having no idea who is who and from where they come from. *LUNCH* Oh, I feel so sleepy after lunch. The hot topic just now was England! Not their football team, but England as it is, because one of our friends will be flying from Kuching-KL-Amsterdam-Wales this coming Monday for a week business trip. Currently it is spring there while in middle July it would be summer. Today is my brother’s birthday. Hmm, still thinking on what to get for him. Maybe a slimming kit? A diet program perhaps? Or a GYM membership at Level up for a year?? Or buying something for his clinic needs… Entahlah labu.. maybe I just come with an empty stomach because dad is making nasi ayam. On the 2nd thought, maybe those diet program are meant for me.. huhuhu… I thought of getting a ½ day leave this afternoon since I have quite a number of leaves left. It’s Friday and the family already have plan to do. At least I don’t have to think on my own agenda otherwise it would always be eating and eating at some fancy restaurant!

Happy Holidays

Selamat Gawai Dayak to all of you. We did not celebrate gawai this year, same as last year and the year before last year. It’s not that we want to skip it but I think let Gawai Day become the day we as a family go out for “Ngabang” and have some fun! Indeed for the past few years, my dancing skills improved compare to years and years ago. Regular practice would make everything perfect! I agree!
The 1 week Gawai holidays which I took seems to be not enough for me to reenergize. I can’t blame anyone except for my self for being into so intimate with the social city which most of my time being burnt in front of the lappy… Well the time will come if I need to let it go, just like what happen to my Café World! Hey, I know my limit and I also know when to stop. I’m in control!
30th May was our 1st year anniversary. How did we celebrate? Emmmm… we managed to watch movie at the Spring but we went back under a heavy thunder storm with a piece of summon by the police traffic reasoned my car is blocking the traffic! Apa kelas!!! I dint’ want to spend RM300 just to pay the ticket so I managed to write a letter to ask for some reduction. Wife gave me RM100 in advance and the rest I need to use my own. At the traffic office, I kind of begged to the lady at the counter. I didn’t get the chance to give her the “love letter” since she said that they will not entertain any pardons nor what so ever you said it. Encik, and kena bayar kami RM30.00. What?! I sound rather shocked than happy, disbelief on what I heard? Berapa cik puan? RM30, she replied back. The first thing I did was to put back the letter which I wrote inside my bag and slowly with a smiley face, I gave her RM30.00.
Now a days I’m keen on forgetting something be it misplace something or forget to do something. So after I paid my summon, I drove to Hong Leong bank to pay my credit card debts. Never learnt from my lesson, I parked my car again at the yellow line. Ah! It’s too early for the police traffic to do their duty at this hour! I bet they are still at home sleeping! So I left my car about 500 meters walked to the bank and did my business without rush. Done, so I walked back while searching for my car keys, OMG, I could not find it. I searched in and out, up and down and high and low but still not find it. So I rushed to the car and wallah! The car key was inserted into the door lock hole hanging free for anyone who sees it and drive it back home! Yarabi.. what happen to me, so careless already! Thank God nobody sees it and left me alone walking to the police station and tell them where I had parked my car… huhuhuu…. Padan muka…
So I promised myself not to parked like samseng anymore form that time onward! So the last thing which I need to do that morning was to pay my tax at the LHDN. I parked infront of Picadilly Pub, took out my parking coupon and walked across the road to LHDN. Hmmm Rm55 for 2009 tax. I tought I’m over paid! What happen to the system?? Feel being robbed by the government, I quickly walked back to the car and feeling hungry some more, I searched for a place to have something to eat. Since I’m very near to Batu lintang, hmm why not rojak kuchei? I had a glass of Big Ice Tea special and a plate of rojak kuchei. Ya ya , I parked at the yellow line again because the car park was full and so small for my Naza. Hmmmm, seems that I can keep promise within half a day only, perhaps within 2 hours, than it will be broken…
