Goats' Milk Is More Beneficial To Health Than Cows' Milk, Study Suggests...

I started drink goat's milk...
uhmm, not that tasty like cow's milk, in fact it has some "light smell" in it.. but according to the "healthy conscious" reason, goat's milk is better ... there is it, an article about it....

Researchers have carried out a comparative study on the properties of goats' milk compared to those of cows' milk. They found reason to believe that goats' milk could help prevent diseases such as anemia and bone demineralization. Goats' milk was found to help with the digestive and metabolic utilization of minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.

Research carried out at the Department of Physiology of the University of Granada has revealed that goat milk has more beneficial properties to health than cow milk. Among these properties it helps to prevent ferropenic anaemia (iron deficiency) and bone demineralisation (softening of the bones).

This project, conducted by Doctor Javier Díaz Castro and directed by professors Margarita Sánchez Campos, Mª Inmaculada López Aliaga and Mª José Muñoz Alférez, focuses on the comparison between the nutritional properties of goat milk and cow milk, both with normal calcium content and calcium enriched, against the bioavailability of iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. To carry out this study, the metabolic balance technique has been used both in rats with experimentally induced nutritional ferropenic anaemia and in a control group of rats.

In order to know how the nutritive utilisation of these minerals may affect their metabolic distribution and destination, the UGR researcher has determined the concentration of these minerals in the different organs involved in their homeostatic regulation and different haematological parameters in relation to the metabolism of the minerals.

Better results with goat milk

Results obtained in the study reveal that ferropenic anaemia and bone demineralisation caused by this pathology have a better recovery with goat milk. Due to the higher bioavailability of iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, the restoration of altered haematological parameters and the better levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), a hormone that regulates the calcium balance in the organism was found in the rats that consumed this food.

Javier Díaz Castro points out that the inclusion of goat milk with normal or double calcium content in the diet “favours digestive and metabolic utilisation of iron, calcium and phosphorus and their deposit in target organs - parts of the organism to which these minerals are preferably sent - involved in their homeostatic regulation.”

According to this researcher, all these conclusions reveal that regular consumption of goat milk – a natural food with highly beneficial nutritional characteristics - “has positive effects on mineral metabolism, recovery from ferropenic anaemia and bone mineralisation in rats. In addition, and unlike observations in cow milk, its calcium enrichment does not interfere in the bioavailability of the minerals studied.”

Although there is no doubt that these findings may be a base for further in depth study of the multiple health benefits of goat milk, the UGR researcher warns that “studies in humans are still required in order to confirm the findings obtained in rats and to promote goat milk consumption both in the general population and in the population affected by nutritional ferropenic anaemia and pathologies related to bone demineralisation.” Part of the results of this research has been published in the International Dairy Journal and Journal Dairy Science.

Kisah seorang pemimpi...

Aku suka bermimpi,
tidak hanya hari ini... kemarinpun begitu.
Rasanya tak pernah lupa...
kemarin "dia" datang,
hari inipun hadir lagi...
Aku mencium wangi nafasnya,
begitu pula aroma tubuhnya...
Kenapa begitu sempurna?
apakah "kamu" itu?
... kamu seperti cahaya...
kadang datang dan pergi,
Kamupun datang lagi...
dalam wujud yang sempurna...
seperti rinai hujan, aku damba itu...
rasa kering kerontang itu hilang,
tidak hanya satu dua detik,
tapi selamanya, ini hidup dijantungku,
berbisik di aliran darahku...
...tidak pernah menguap,
rasa itu tumbuh disitu, satu satu bawa aku...
ke alam lain, alam itu... dimana aku di cumbui olehmu,
dosakah itu?
dosakah mimpi berada dan hidup dalam asa dan khilafku?
...kamu tau?
kamu datang dengan cinta, hadir bersama cinta,
tumbuh berkembang tanpa ragu...

..Kamu pemimpi!!! begitu juga aku...
aku khilaf... tapi kupuja rasa itu...
--kamu seorang "pemberontak sempurna" bagiku,
tapi kamu adalah nafasku...
kapan kamu bawa aku ke alam itu?
rasanya bertahun lewat kamu janjikan itu,
aku sadari, kurangkul pula mimpimu, asaku...

...Kamu pemimpi!!! seperti halnya aku...
Kutunggu kamu disitu,
kujemput semua mimpi yang kau tuju...

Today is My Day...

Well, 5th January... today is my day.. not in South Africa yet, it's actually only 11:30pm... so I need to wait for another 30 minutes...eheheh...
But as I was born in Germany so it means now only 10:32pm.. so I need to wait for longer time!!!! aaah sucks!!! and I'm already half dead now... feeling sleepy.. my eyes are dropping....
should I just go to the dream land, and no need to counting down my time?
ahahh, better to consider about Indonesia time, as my parents are there now.. so means.. it's already 4:37am!!!!!!!
awwwwww morning time!!!!!
better go sleep now.. it's toooooooooooo late.. ahahahah...

--Hope everything I want.. I can make it come true... -inshAllah...--
wish me luck.. ehehehh....

Estúpido?

Amor é uma coisa sem sentido, em outras palavras o amor é um disparate ...
Trata-se de um simples parecer, a verdade é que depende do seu ponto de vista. Algumas pessoas disseram, o amor é cego .. alguma forma, mesmo que você não está cego u quando estão em amor, certamente você será cego (o período de cegueira é depende de quão forte é efectuem você ...).
Falar de amor e senso ... Como é que o amor pode efectuar a vida de alguém tão forte? É só porque a conexão entre coração e cérebro é demasiado forte? Ou se há alguma outra razão para isso? Você nunca ouviu falar sobre "o amor é criado por sorte"? Creio que uma coisa ... sorte vai estar lá, quando escolhemos as opções dadas pelo Deus ... Uma vez u escolher o seu caminho, então você precisa ser responsável com sua escolha ... Que é a vida ...

Seja no amor, ser cego ... (Ser estúpido? Ahahah) ...
Toda a resposta está em suas mãos ....
