Vitamin C needs of our bodies Cats, dogs, elephants and many other animals can make their own vitamin C in their bodies from glucose. Humans haven’t got or have lost the enzymes required for the manufacture and need to get it from the foods. We do have the gene used by animals to make vitamin C from glucose called GULOP, but we do not have the mechanism in our DNA to make it. Our bodies need 90 milligrams of vitamin C for men and 75 milligrams for women. Some of the foods we eat have sufficient vitamin C for our daily requirement. Our hot chillies we enjoy in our curries have over 100 mg of vitamin C in half a cup, and the hotness increases your metabolic rate. To slim you must eat plenty of red chillies in your curries. In Chinese cuisine they use lot of cut red ...

Why should diabetics eat only Basmati rice? – by Dr Harold Gunatillake Basmati polished or wholegrain rice is recommended for diabetics to eat if you are a determined rice eater. Basmati is a low energy food, and the daily serving is about 150g provides about 200 calories. Whole grain Basmati has the lowest glycaemic index (GI), which means that when it is digested it releases the energy slowly keeping blood sugar levels more stable and not giving rise to glucose spikes. Basmati rice being long grain has more amylose than other rice. Amylose makes the digestion slower and do not gelatinize and the particle size remain long in the gut during digestion. Steaming the rice rather than boiling in water has a lower Glycaemic Index ...

Read More →EDELWEISS – by Desmond (Kelly from Colombo) Everyone who knows anything about music, knows the the above “song” from Oscar Hammerstein’s beautiful film, “The Sound of Music”. Everyone should also know that “Edelweiss” is actually a little white mountain flower that grows mainly on the rocky ridges of mountains at, and around the apex of these tors. So “Edelweiss” can be categorised simply as a tiny “wild mountain flower”. I have had this “idea” of my own version of another beautiful film from way back, entitled “Romeo & Juliet” the BEST version of which, in my opinion, was the 1936 version, Starring the very beautiful Norma Shearer as Juliet & Leslie Howard as Romeo. My “Romeo & Juliet” (in case anyone who reads the “texts” of eLanka is interested) will have to be an “Alpine-version” of this beautiful, but touching story. The names of the “actors involved” will have ...

How much water should you drink a day – by Dr Harold Gunatillake You lose about 10 cups of water every day just living, urinating, sweating, in your breath and you need to compensate that amount. One can assess whether one is dehydrated from the volume of urine pass per day and from the colour. Darker the urine, like the colour of concentrated apple juice, you are less hydrated. Drink sufficient water to keep the urine a lighter and pale in colour, then you have drunk adequate amount. You can assess whether you are dehydrated from your body weight. You lose weight as you lose water. When dehydrated you could pinch your skin, and loses its shine. Using moisture rises in addition to drinking adequate amount keep your skin healthy. To keep your skin healthy you need adequate amount of sleep, too An early sign of dehydration is thirst. Breathing ...

UNFORGETTABLE WRITERS RICHMAL CROMPTON LAMBURN. In these days of Computers, iphones, e’mails and various other “modern technologies”,writers such as Richmal Crompton would be all but forgotten,I repeat, all but forgotten because, were it not for these same “technologies” the general public would not only have forgotten this brilliant lady, they would then know absolutely nothing about her. It certainly seems to be a peculier”state of affairs” that now, in this day and age,our children and grand-children do not seem to be at all interested in actually reading a book, All they do is hold a miniature contraption in their little hot hands and tap, tap, tap,— until their fingers end up with the “repetitive strain” syndrome and begorrah!!, they can then choose from a 1001 “computer-games” or read anything they want to,about anyone they want to,in two seconds flat, yet, no REAL BOOKS whatsoever adorn the shelves in their rooms. ...

Read More →JAZZMEN EXTRAORDINAIRE – By Des Kelly Monday, the 1st of August,2016, just another Monday, heralding the last month of Winter in our Land Nothing “special” about it EXCEPT that sharp at 8 pm., I switched my television onto Channel 2, in Melbourne to watch “Australian Story”, another favourite “show”of mine, that I can strongly recommend to my “eLanka” readers. Naturally, I do not intend “takng-over” from “the box” & “filling-in” what viewers have quite possibly,already seen, but this particular episode intrigued me, in that, it featured two Aussie musicians DON BURROWS & JAMES MORRISON, who, in my own humble opinion, would “class” as two of the very best, not only in Australia, but in the entire “Music Planet,” as it is, at the moment. Don Burrows, for a start, was a “music-lover” FROM the start. A multi-instrumentalist, he not only lived for music, music, in his sensitive hands, lived for him. I remember ...
