Takeaways

• 😀 Eggs are good for stamina and health, but consuming them raw increases the risk of bacterial infections. It's safer to eat them cooked or soft-boiled.
• 😀 Green tea and black tea can help reduce bad breath by neutralizing harmful microorganisms in the mouth and digestive system.
• 😀 Drinking tea with red meat reduces the nutritional value of the meat, especially its iron content. It’s better to enjoy tea separately from meals.
• 😀 Eating whole fruits is generally better than drinking fruit juice, as juicing removes fiber and adds sugar. However, juicing can be useful for those with specific workout needs.
• 😀 Regular consumption of Americano coffee can aid metabolism, but it's not a miracle diet solution. It’s safe for those without heart, high blood pressure, or acid reflux issues.
• 😀 Raw vegetables can provide more nutrients than overcooked ones. Washing them properly before consumption is key to avoid harmful microorganisms.
• 😀 Chewing garlic may temporarily relieve a sore throat, but it doesn't directly ease tooth pain. Clove is more effective in numbing toothaches.
• 😀 Drinking hot water does not detoxify the body as it only feels warm in the mouth. True detoxification comes from fasting, not drinking hot beverages.
• 😀 Excessive consumption of salty foods over long periods can increase the risk of high blood pressure but does not immediately cause it.
• 😀 Durian fruit is not harmful to people with high blood pressure, but its high sugar content makes it unsuitable for individuals with diabetes.
• 😀 Lemon water does not significantly boost metabolism. Metabolism is primarily influenced by genetics and long-term activity and dietary habits.
• 😀 Whole wheat bread is not necessarily healthier than white bread, but it tends to have fewer calories per 100g, making it a better option for calorie control.

Q & A

Is eating raw eggs beneficial for improving stamina?

Raw eggs are good because they contain protein and omega-3, which are beneficial for the body. However, raw eggs may carry bacteria, which can be risky for people with sensitive digestive systems. It is safer to consume eggs cooked to at least soft-boiled to reduce the risk of infection.

Can drinking green tea reduce bad breath?

Yes, green tea, especially when it's the authentic type, has antioxidant properties that can help neutralize harmful microorganisms in the mouth. This helps in minimizing bad breath, which is often caused by bacteria from leftover food and stomach acid. However, it's important not to drink tea immediately after meals.

Is drinking tea harmful for people who are bulking?

Drinking tea is not harmful, but it should not be consumed with red meat, as it can reduce the absorption of nutrients from the meat, especially iron. Tea is beneficial, but it's best enjoyed separately from meals containing red meat.

Is it better to eat fruits whole rather than juicing them?

Both eating fruits whole and juicing them have their benefits. Eating fruits whole provides fiber and slower-released sugars, while juicing extracts more vitamins. However, when juicing, avoid adding extra sugar to maintain the fruit's health benefits. The choice depends on personal preferences and lifestyle.

Does consuming Americano coffee help in weight loss?

Americano coffee contains antioxidants and caffeine, which can stimulate metabolism and aid digestion. However, the effects are not significant for weight loss on their own. It is safe for people without heart problems, high blood pressure, or acid reflux, but should be consumed without added sugar.

Are raw vegetables healthier than cooked ones?

Raw vegetables retain more nutrients and fiber, which can aid digestion. However, overcooking vegetables can reduce their nutritional value. It's important to wash raw vegetables thoroughly to remove harmful microorganisms and pesticides. In Indonesia, dishes like 'urap' (a salad) often mix both raw and cooked vegetables.

Can chewing garlic relieve toothaches?

Chewing garlic may not directly relieve a toothache, but garlic has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation. While it doesn't eliminate the pain, it can offer temporary relief. Cloves are more effective in numbing the pain due to their unique properties.

Does drinking warm water detoxify the body?

Drinking warm water doesn't detoxify the body by itself. Detoxification mainly occurs through fasting, which triggers a process called autophagy, where the body cleanses itself. Drinking excessively hot or cold water can damage the mucous membranes in the mouth and esophagus, so warm water should be consumed moderately.

Does consuming salty food increase the risk of osteoporosis?

Excessive consumption of salty foods can increase the risk of high blood pressure, but it doesn't directly cause osteoporosis. The main concern is that too much salt without sufficient water intake can lead to increased blood pressure. A balanced intake of salt is key to preventing long-term health issues.

Is durian safe for people with high blood pressure?

Durian is safe for people with high blood pressure, but it is high in sugar and should be avoided by those with diabetes. While it doesn't affect blood pressure significantly, individuals with diabetes should limit their intake of durian due to its high glycemic content.
