9. Chapstick – just rub a little into lips and it not only acts as a softening agent but it also has an SPF of about 4 so you get a little protection!

10. Cradle Cap – having issues with dry skin on your baby’s scalp? Coconut oil will not only nourish your baby’s skin, it also helps eliminate cradle cap. Just rub a teaspoon onto scalp daily.

11. Dandruff – coconut oil soaks into the scalp moisturizing dry skin and relieves symptoms of dandruff. It also helps to control oil secretion from the scalp, another leading cause of dandruff.

17. Hair conditioner/ Deep Treatment – use as a leave-in hair conditioner by applying a teaspoon of coconut oil to your ends and then running your fingers through your hair to distribute the rest! For a deeper treatment, rub in a tablespoon of coconut oil onto your dry scalp and gently work through to the ends. Put a shower cap on to prevent transfer onto bed linens and leave on overnight.

18. Hair Gel/ Defrizzer – rub a little between your palms and either scrunch into hair (for curly hair) or finger comb in through from scalp to ends (for wavy/straight hair).

19. Healing - when applied on scrapes and cuts, coconut oil forms a thin, chemical layer which protects the wound from outside dust, bacteria and virus. Coconut oil speeds up the healing process of bruises by repairing damaged tissues. Plus, it smells a heck-of-a-lot better than anything from the pharmacy.

21. Makeup Remover – use a cotton swab and a dab of coconut oil and you would be amazed at how well it works!

Ahsante Mkuu,hivi hapa Dar naweza kupata wapi hayo mafuta yaliyo masafi?
 
MAFUTA YA NAZI HUONGEZA CD4


Kuhusu mafuta mwali kama dawa, Dk. Minja anabainisha kuwa, mafuta hayo yakitumiwa kwa kunywa na watu wenye virusi vya Ukimwi, husaidia kupandisha kinga ya mwili (CD4), kwa kuwa mafuta hayo yana nguvu kiasi ya kuzingira kirusi ili kisijibadilishe na kuzaana na hivyo kuongeza kinga.

Anasema pia mafuta hayo yakitumika kwa maelekezo ya daktari, yanaleta tija zaidi ya mtu akitumia bila utaalamu na kwamba pia ni dawa ya mafua, kwa kiasi inasaidia wagonjwa wa kisukari kwa kuwa inachochea uzalishaji wa Insulin mwilini.

Dk. Minja anasema utafiti kuhusu mafuta mwali ya nazi na zao kwa ujumla ulianza mwaka 1979, ambapo watafiti walitumia mashine kukamua mafuta na teknolojia ya kuanika nazi ilitumika kuwafundisha wakulima kutokana na uhaba wa vifaa jambo linalokikabili kituo cha Mikocheni hadi sasa.

“Kuna mambo mengi ya kuzungumza na wakulima na kushirikiana kuyafanya ili kuongeza tija ya zao la nazi lakini mafungu ya fedha yanayokuja ni madogo kiasi kwamba tunashindwa kufika katika maeneo mengi kwa wakati mmoja,” anasema Dk. Minja.

MziziMkavu nikipikia mafuta ya nazi hizi faida za ndani ya mwili nitazipata maana kuyanywa kwavukavu nayo ni kazi.......
Mkuu Rutashubanyuma hautapata au kam utapata basi ni kidogo sana bora kunywa kijiko kimoja tu Asubuhi,mchan na usiku kutwa mara 3 mbona mimi nina kunywa mafuta ya Zaituni kabla ya kula chakula cha mchana na usiku kila siku kwa ajili ya kulainisha tumbo na hakuna matatizo yoyote yale ukizoea hakuna tabu ni dawa hunywi kama ni starehe mkuu.

Wiki chache zilizopita tuliandika makala kuhusu madai kuwa mafuta ya nazi yana uwezo wa kutibu ugonjwa wa kusahau unaowapata wazee maarufu kama Alzheimer’s disease. Katika makala hiyo iliyonukuliwa kutoka tovuti yawww.wavuti.com, mwandishi Dada Subi alijaribu kutoa rai kwa wataalamu wetu wa afya kufanya tafiti ili kuthibitisha madai ya uwezo huo wa mafuta ya nazi ili kusaidia kutatua tatizo hili ambalo limewakumba wazee wengi.

Katika kuzungumzia rai ya Dada Subi, msomaji wetu mmoja alituandikia maoni akitaka kufahamu hasa uhusiano kati ya mafuta ya nazi na uwezo wake katika kutibu ugonjwa huu. Ifuatayo ni makala inayojaribu kuzungumzia uhusiano kati ya mafuta ya nazi na jinsi inavyodaiwa kuwa na uwezo wa kutibu ugonjwa wa kusahau wa Alzheimers.........

Kumekuwepo taarifa kuhusu uwezo wa mafuta ya nazi kutibu ugonjwa wa kusahau unaowakumba wazee uitwao Alzheimer’s disease wakati huo huo ikiripotiwa kuwa baadhi ya dawa zilizokuwa zikitumika kutibu ugonjwa huo hapo awali zinaonesha kushindwa kufanya kazi inavyopaswa. Hivi karibuni, makampuni makubwa ya madawa duniani ya Pfizer yalikiri kuwa dawa mpya aina ya dimebon ilionesha kushindwa kutibu ugonjwa huo na huku ikifanya hali za wagonjwa kuzorota zaidi.

Wakati taarifa za kushindwa kwa dawa hizo zikizidi kutolewa, madaktari na watafiti wameendelea kutafuta mbinu nyingine za kukabiliana na ugonjwa huu. Mojawapo ikiwa ni matumizi ya mafuta nazi.

Watafiti wanasemaje?
Hivi karibuni, jarida la kitafiti la European Journal of Internal Medicine limewahi kuchapisha ripoti ya kitafiti inayozungumzia nafasi ya lishe katika kutibu ugonjwa wa kusahau wa Alzheimer’s. Watafiti waligundua kuwepo kwa uhusiano mkubwa kati ya ukinzani dhidi ya utendaji kazi wa homoni ya Insulin katika seli za ubongo na ugonjwa wa Alzheimers katika hatua zake za awali, hali iliyowafanya kufikiria kuwa pengine ugonjwa wa Alzheimers unafanana fanana na kisukari cha ubongo. Walikwenda mbali zaidi na kudai kuwa hata vyanzo vya awali vya ugonjwa huu yawezekana vikawa na uhusiano mkubwa na mfumo wa usafirishaji wa lehemu (cholesterol) kutoka kwenye damu mpaka kwenye seli za ubongo, na kuna ushahidi kuonesha kuwa matatizo katika mfumo wa umeng’enyaji lehemu kwenye ubongo yanaweza kuchangia kusababisha ugonjwa wa Alzheimers.

Aidha ilionekana pia kuwa wagonjwa wa Alzheimers walikuwa na kiasi kidogo sana cha lehemu kwenye bongo zao. Kuwa na kiwango kikubwa cha lehemu kwenye ubongo kuna uhusiano mkubwa na kuishi muda mrefu kwa wazee wenye umri zaidi ya miaka 80, na wengine wameonekana kuwa na uwezo mzuri wa kukumbuka mambo mbalimbali.

Utafiti mwingine uliofanyika mwishoni mwa miaka ya 80 ukitumia panya wenye mimba waliolishwa chakula chenye mafuta ya nazi na wengine chakula chenye aina nyingine za mafuta (unsaturated oil) ulionesha kuwa vitoto vya panya waliozaliwa na panya waliolishwa chakula chenye mafuta ya nazi walikuwa na maendeleo mazuri katika ukuaji wa bongo zao ukilinganisha na vitoto vilivyozaliwa na panya waliokuwa wakilishwa chakula kilichowekwa aina nyingine za mafuta. Hii imehusishwa na uwezo wa mafuta ya nazi kusaidia utendaji kazi wa tezi ya thyroid ambayo uhusika na ukuaji wa ubongo kwa watoto wadogo.

Mafuta ya nazi yanafanyaje kazi kutibu Ugonjwa wa kusahau?
Uzito wa ubongo ni asilimia 2 tu ya uzito wa mwili mzima, lakini seli zake zinachukua karibu robo ya lehemu yote iliyopo kwenye mwili wa binadamu. Kazi ya lehemu katika ubongo ni kutengeneza viasili vinavyosaidia kuondoa sumu kwenye seli (antioxidants0, kufunika seli za ubongo ili kuzuia kuvuja kwa madini (cellular ions leakage), na pia kuzipa seli umbo linalotakiwa. Pia husaidia kusafirisha vichocheo (neurotransmitters) vinavyopeleka taarifa kutoka sehemu moja ya ubongo mpaka sehemu nyingine, na kutengeneza na kuimarisha utendaji kazi wa sinapsi (synapses) au sehemu zinapokutana neva mbili kwa ajili ya kubadilishana taarifa.

Tofauti na aina nyingine, mafuta ya nazi yana kiasi kikubwa cha mafuta yajulikanayo kitaalamu kama saturated oils. Tofauti na unsaturated oils, saturated oils hayawezi kuvunjwa vunjwa kirahisi (oxidation) kutengeneza aina/zao nyingine. Mafuta yenye sifa ya namna hii ni muhimu sana kwenye utendaji kazi wa ubongo kwa vile yanakuwa na uwezo wa kudumu muda mrefu bila kubadilishwa kwenda aina nyingine ya mafuta.

Faida nyingine ya mafuta ya nazi ni kuwa na uwezo wa kuupa ubongo chakula maalum kinachofanya seli zake ziweze kujitengenezea nishati. Uharibifu katika seli za ubongo unaotokana na ugonjwa wa Alzheimer’s husababisha seli hizo kushindwa kutumia sukari (glucose) kujitengezea nishati na pia kuziwezesha zifanye kazi zake sawasawa. Katika mazingira ambapo, glucose huwa kidogo mwilini, kwa mfano mtu unapofunga kula, au kufanya mazoezi makali kupita kiasi au kwa watoto wachanga waliozaliwa, ubongo hutumia vitu vinavyoitwa ketone bodies (ketones) kuzalisha nishati ili kuhuisha seli zake. Kadhalika mgonjwa wa Alzheimers, seli za ubongo wake nazo hutumia ketones moja kwa moja ili kujitengenezea nishati ya kuziwezesha kuishi kwa muda mrefu zaidi. Mafuta ya nazi yana kiasi kikubwa sana cha viasili vinavyoitwa medium chain triglycerides. Unapokula mafuta ya nazi, mwili huvunja vunja mafuta hayo na kuzalisha ketone bodies kwa wingi, ambazo hatimaye hutumiwa na seli za ubongo.

Changamoto zilizopo
Pamoja na kwamba kuna tafiti kadhaa zilizofanyika kujaribu kubainisha faida za mafuta ya nazi kiafya hususani ya ubongo, bado hakuna tafiti zilizoshirikisha idadi kubwa ya wagonjwa wa Alzheimers mpaka sasa kuchunguza ufanisi wa mafuta ya nazi kwa wagonjwa wa kusahau. Hata hivyo wanasayansi bado wanaendelea kuchunguza madai ya uwezo huu wa mafuta ya nazi na bila shaka jibu la uhakika litapatikana siku za usoni.

Coconut water...!
Coconuts are one of the wonder foods on earth that amply provides for all human needs? They can even save your life!

Few people (even fewer doctors) understand how important the coconut is to stabilizing blood sugar; lowering cholesterol; healing; hydration; and even replacing blood plasma in an emergency.

Referred to as kalpa vriksha (Sanskrit for "the tree that supplies all that is needed to live") in ancient India, the coconut palm has been recognized as a top immune booster, antifungal,antibiotic, antiviral and antibacterial remedy for thousands of years all over the world. Yet, it has only been recently that modern researchers have begun to fully discover the massive health benefits this amazing fruit seed offers.

To give just one example of coconuts' live-saving properties, they were used extensively in the Pacific during World War II. Since blood plasma supplies were scarce, it was very common for medics to siphon pure coconut water from young coconuts to be used as emergency plasma transfusions for soldiers who were injured. Since coconut water is nearly identical to human blood, it was suitable for people of all blood types.

Because of its strong antioxidant properties, the coconut can be used to:
==> Lower cholesterol
==> Improve digestion
==> Ward off wrinkles
==> Stabilize glucose levels
==> Fight off viruses
==> Build cells
==> Regulate hormones
==> Increase thyroid production
==> Lose weight
==> Increase metabolism
==> Fight infections
==> Stave off memory loss
==> Kill bacteria
==> And more!

Considered one of the most treasured foods of all time, coconut products -- including coconut flesh, coconut water, coconut oil, and coconut cream -- each deliver superb health benefits.

Coconut oil, for instance, is considered the best and safest oil to use for cooking -- even superior to extra virgin olive oil when it comes to giving the body what it needs for optimum health. Unlike other fats and oils that we typically use for cooking and baking, coconut oil does not form polymerized oils or dangerous trans fatty acids in our bodies, which can raise our cholesterol levels; clog our arteries and even make our skin sag and wrinkle. Plus, this ultra-safe oil can give your body important antioxidants that can help build stronger cells and improve your overall health and well being.

Here are a few ways that you can use coconut products to stave off disease and to recapture the look and feeling of youth:

Coconut Water - The coconut is a natural water filter. It takes almost 9 months for a coconut to filter every quart of water stored within its shell. This makes the resulting coconut water completely pure and sterile, which is one reason why it can be used for blood transfusions.

Another benefit of coconut water is the fact that it has the highest concentration of electrolytes than anything else found in nature. This makes it an excellent source of hydration.

Coconut Oil - In addition to being superior for cooking and baking, coconut oil also makes a superb topical oil that can help to naturally rid the skin of dangerous toxins. It also gives the skin the perfect mix of hydration and antioxidants that it needs to stay healthy, smooth and younger-looking longer.

Another great benefit of coconut oil is in protecting your teeth from the bacteria that can cause cavities and disease. Simply rubbing a little fresh coconut oil on your gums and teeth can keep them stronger and healthier than virtually any other dental treatment.

Most people don't realize that coconut oil can actually help you lose weight! Yes, simply changing your cooking oil from the unsaturated fat variety to coconut oil can help you lose those extra pounds. Here's why: Unsaturated fats found in canola, corn and other vegetables oils, as well as margarine suppress the metabolism, which makes it harder to lose weight -- and easier to gain it. Over time, this metabolism suppression may result in 20-30 pounds of excess weight that your body cannot get rid of. Coconut oil, on the other hand, helps to increase thyroid function and boost your metabolism -- 2 important components to shedding unwanted pounds.

Coconut Cream - The best skin treatment product one can use to achieve flawless skin may quite possibly be coconut cream. Unlike traditional skin creams which can actually introduce fats and oils to the skin that will break it down over time, making it look older, creams derived from the coconut can actually replenish the skin, giving it a more youthful and healthy glow than most other skin care products on the market.

When it comes to buying coconut products, coconuts are not all created equal. Wild coconuts are always best, but can be hard to obtain if you don't live in a tropical country. Whether you are using this wonder food to boost your immune system; increase your metabolism or fight wrinkles, using products from young coconuts will help you reap the most benefit.

Things You Didnt Know About CoconutsYoung coconuts contain the purest unsaturated fat, compared to the fat found in the more mature varieties. This is why they offer the most rejuvenation properties for the body's tissues. But how can you tell how old a coconut is? Young coconuts are usually green in color and oddly shaped. The brown hairy ones are mature coconuts, and while they offer a lot of healthy benefits, they aren't nearly as good for you as younger varieties.

The best place to find young fresh coconuts is, of course, in the markets of the tropics, so be sure to seek them out if you travel to those areas. Coconut-producing regions export coconuts all over the world, however, so it's relatively easy to find coconuts at your local health food store or Asian
grocer.
 
"Pure virgin coconut oil contains 92% saturated fat - the highest amount of saturated fat of any fat.

The evidence that coconut oil is super-healthful is not convincing and these claims appear to be more testimonials than clinical evidence.

There is very limited evidence on disease outcomes, says Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, of Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health. "All that has been studied well is the impact of coconut oil on cholesterol levels and the findings are intriguing but we still don't know if it is harmful or beneficial," Mozaffarian says.

Neither the American Heart Association (AHA) nor the U.S. government's 2010 Dietary Guidelines suggest that coconut oil is any better or preferable over other saturated fats. Coconut oil, like all saturated fats, should be limited to 7%-10% of calories because it can increase risk for heart disease, according to the AHA and 2010 Dietary Guidelines."

hospitals zote sasa ziwe na coconut oil..
bibie Catherine Sio lengu lake hivyo hiyo ni faida ya Mafuta ya nazi unaweza kujuwa faida yake na usiitumie mpaka utakapohitaji kutumia ndio utajuwa faida yake ni nini?Hospitali na madawa ya Kienyeji ni vitu 2 Tofauti kabisa bibie Hospitali kuna Drug vidonge hakuna mafuta ya nazi.
