Petai Power 




ADVICE FROM UKM MEDICAL DOCTOR 

Little did you know ...... after reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at petai 
in the same way again! 

Petai contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose. 
Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial 
boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai 
provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder petai 
is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy 
isn't the only way petai can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome 
or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a 
must to add to our daily diet. 

According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering 
from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because 
petai contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into 
serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make 
you feel happier. 

Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood 
glucose levels, which can affect your mood. 

Anaemia: (Kurang darah) 
High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the 
blood and so helps in cases of anaemia. 

Blood Pressure: 
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, 
making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug 
Administration has just allowed the petai industry to make official claims 
for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. 

Brain Power : 
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their 
exams this year by eating petai at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to 
boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed 
fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. 

Constipation: (Sembelit) 
High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal bowel 
action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. 

Hangovers: 
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai 
milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the stomach and, with the 
help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk 
soothes and re-hydrates your system. 


Heartburn: 
Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from 
heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief. 

Morning Sickness : 
Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and 
avoid morning sickness. 

Mosquito bites : 
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area 
with the inside of the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly 
successful at reducing swelling and irritation. 

Nerves: 
Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. 

Overweight: (Terlebih berat, obesity) 
Studies at the microsoft-com:office:smarttags' /> Institute of Psychology 
in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like 
chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers 
found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The 
report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to 
control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods 
every two hours to keep levels steady. 

Ulcers: 
Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of 
its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be 
eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes 
over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. 

Temperature control : 
Many other cultures see petai as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the 
physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In holland, for 
example, pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool 
temperature. 

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) : 
Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood 
enhancer, tryptophan. 

Smoking: (Sapa kuat merokok, kena makan petai banyak sket dari biasa!) 
Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they 
contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the 
body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. 

Stress: 
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends 
oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are 
stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. 
These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack. 

Strokes: 
According to research in 'The New England Journal of Medicine, ' eating 
petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as 
much as 40%'. 

Warts: (Ketuat, ketumbuhan kecil di badan, muka) 
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a 
wart, take a piece of petai and place it on the wart. Carefully hold the 
petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape! 

So, as you can see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills. When 
you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the 
carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and 
iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in 
potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to 
change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A Petai a day keeps the 
doctor away'.
