Khasiat Bawang Putih

Dr. Yongxiang Zhang dari University of Tokyo, Jepang menyatakan bahwa kemampuan bawang putih menghambat kemerosotan otak dan sistem kekebalan pada hewan percobaan sangat mengesankan. Hal itu memang tidak berarti bahwa bawang putih mampu memulihkan masa muda atau sama sekali menghambat proses penuaan. Tetapi setidaknya manfaat bawang putih membantu menghambat proses penuaan.

Di samping itu, menurut penelitian Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, bahan kimia SAMC yang terdapat pada bawang putih dapat menghambat pertumbuhan sel kanker. Dengan mengkonsumsi bawang putih, resiko terkena kanker dapat dikurangi.

Kadar kolesterol yang tinggi biasanya menjadi pertanda proses penuaan. Bawang putih yang dikonsumsi secara rutin dalam jangka waktu tertentu dapat membantu menurunkan kadar kolesterol. Zat anti-kolesterol dalam bawang putih yang bernama ajoene menolong mencegah penggumpalan darah.

MALIN KUNDANG

Malin Kundang

Once upon a time, on the north coast of Sumatra lived a poor woman and his son. The boy was called Malin Kundang. They didn’t earn much as fishing was their only source of income. Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He always helps his mother to earn some money. However, as they were only fisherman’s helper, they still lived in poverty. “Mother, what if I sail overseas?” asked Malin Kundang one day to his mother. Her mother didn’t agree but Malin Kundang had made up his mind. “Mother, if I stay here, I’ll always be a poor man. I want to be a successful person,” urged Malin kundang. His mother wiped her tears, “If you really want to go, I can’t stop you. I could only pray to God for you to gain success in life,” said his mother wisely. “But, promise me, you’ll come home.”
