Sari’s Place

Once upon a time, there was a king who loved riding horses as well as riding horse carriage. He got his skills from almost every horse trainer in his country. Every time, he got a new carriage, he was anxious to try it out to compete.

The next day, a new carriage came to his palace, and as usual he asked the trainer to compete with him.  The trainer agreed..The same day, they raced.

The king tried hard, but no matter how much effort the king made, he was still far behind the trainer. He started to become very angry and told him off, “Why didn’t you teach me all of your racing skills?”.

The trainer replied, “Sire, I taught you everything I know”, the reason that you didn’t win, because you were trying too hard, you were thinking of winning and had no patience at all. Your only thought about winning, made you become frustrated, and that made you forgot everything I taught you. You  whipped your horse again and again to make it go faster. You never thought about her feelings and safety, while I always look at the physical condition and feelings of my horse before and during the ride. You need to work with the horse not against it. That’s why, Sire, I always win the race.”

Since ancient times, artichokes have been used as a digestive aid and to treat poor liver function.  New research reveals that they may also lower cholesterol.

FIGHTERS IN THEM

Cynarin, an organic acid, may have a beneficial effect on the liver by preventing fat accumulation in the organ, and also by helping to promote bile flow, which assists in the removal of toxic substances from the body.

In addition to preventing certain birth defects, the B vitamins folate may help lower heart disease risk by reducing levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that has been linked to atherosclerosis.  It may also help to prevent cancer, since low levels of folate can be harmful to DNA.

Luteolin is flavonoid, a powerful antioxidant phytochemical that may reduce the risk of heart disease by preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.  Preliminary studies suggest that luteolin may also block the release of histamines, which trigger congestion and inflammation.
