Correct way of cooking instant noodle, without harming our bodies and health.

~Mew~ — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:34:38 +0800

Thought of sharing this info which i received from a forwarded mail. (I don't know how reliable it is or where its source came from)

QUOTE

For all who love eating Maggi

'CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES' ( without harming our bodies and health. )

Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat. (This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.)

By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG
causing it to be toxic.

The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to
excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.

CORRECT METHOD :

1. boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3.. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.
*4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle
soup.
5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Dietician's Note: If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make initially need to boil in water and discard the water. This will soften
the noodles but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially to make it crunchy and
then dusted with flour to prevent it from sticking while boiling. Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this
is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular maggi too is made the same way plus they add MSG/ ajinomoto and other chemical
preservatives.

A large number of patient with the ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the
pancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles..... If the frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous...

P.s - Mod you may shut this thread down if you find it useless / not related.

Leather shoes to protect knees?,

cyclonova — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:38:59 +0800

Hey guys

I'm starting to feel a little discomfort in my knees and I suspect that it's got something to do with my work shoes which have relatively hard soles. Is there a brand or a line of shoes out there which has some sort of a cushioned sole to limit damages to knees while walking in them?

Cheers guys

Thinning knee cartilage and tilted kneecap problem,

phyllis76 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:30:34 +0800

Has anyone here suffered from thinning of knee cartilage and tilted knee cap? I injured myself when I went hiking, when I ran down hillslope all the way from hilltop to bottom of hill. I'm in my early thirties and had been engaging in high impact exercise (sprinting on threadmill) all these while. I had knee pain even when walking since the hiking incident which was 6 mths ago. I had been going for physiotherapy for the past 6 weeks and taking daily dosage of glucosamine and chondroitin, and stop all the high-impact exercise, but didn't see much improvement. Has anyone suffered the same problem before? Will my knee condition ever recover? I'm very much worried now that it will nvr recover and I can never do running again.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Can measure it via medical check up?

Raikkonen — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:09:33 +0800

Hi.

DHT is best known for its roles in causing male pattern hair loss and prostate problems.

We can do medical check up on our cholesterol and blood pressure.

Can we do the same with DHT?
Better isn't it?
That way we can decide how to deal with it.
If yes, take fin.
If no, take something else.

Or male pattern baldness ALWAYS caused by DHT.
No need to do check up.

Leg cramp and Gastric, How to settle this...

finaljourney — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:51:01 +0800

Hi, everyone... I got problems here..

A friend of mine experiences leg cramp (not pregnant) quite often, erm, im giving her foot and leg massage everyday so that she wont experiences it again.. Massage helps alot but not completely settle.. Therefore, are there any other methods besides massage to solve this problem completely ?

The same friend of mine experiences gastric pain as well... for this problem, i guess she just need to stick regularly with her meals.. but then last time i heard her collegue gave her a pill then the pain ceased... but she hates the taste of medicine... The pill she ate has orange flavour one.. so i wonder where can i find back those pills ? Or recommend me any methods/medicine for this ?

Thanks
