Detox foot patch ialah sejenis pelekat dengan penyerap toksin yang dipakai pada kaki  atau tumit untuk membantu menyingkirkan toksin. Terdapat pelbagai jenama di pasaran antaranya termasuklah Verseo, BodyPure, Takara, Chikusaku, Kinoki dan sebagainya.

Banyak pendapat yang pro dan contra tentang penggunaan detox foot patch ini. Bagi yang pro, ada yang mengatakan ia menguatkan badan, mengurangkan kesakitan lutut, memberikan anda tidur yang berkualiti dan sebagainya. Bagi yang contra pula, bagi mereka detox foot patch tidak mendatangkan apa-apa perubahan kesihatan. Dan mereka berfikiran tidak masuk akal patch yang sedemikian rupa boleh menyingkirkan toksin badan..

Saya tidak bersetuju dengan pendapat yang mengatakan detox foot patch tidak mendatangkan manfaat langsung kepada kesihatan. Sebelum saya mengenal detox foot patch,setiap kali berpeluh, bau peluh cukup memeningkan saya,kaki saya juga sentiasa melecet dan mengambil masa 3 hari untuk pulih, dan saya merasa tersangat letih sekiranya balik dari tempat kerja. Kalau dulu locum 3 hari sudah memenatkan saya. Tapi sekarang setelah menggunakan detox foot patch selama seminggu, terasa perubahan ketara tentang diri saya…bau peluh yang memeningkan sudah tiada, kaki saya sudah tidak lagi melecet dan yang paling penting, sekalipun hari-hari saya locum,letihnya jauh lebih kurang berbanding sebelum saya menggunakan detox foot patch…

Bermula ceritanya, saya ternampak di yahoo messenger status seorang junior saya yang sentiasa meletakkan statusnya detox foot patch… terasa meluat juga melihat iklan sedemikian…Suatu hari pada awal bulan ini, terdetik di hati saya untuk mengetahui apakah benda detox foot patch ini… tertarik dengan khasiatnya saya pun membeli produk kesihatan tersebut dari junior saya…dan sekarang setelah hampir 2 minggu, apa yang saya dapat ucapkan hanyalah Alhamdulillah…memang produk tersebut mujarab.

Bagaimana ia berfungsi?

Ia berfungsi dengan 2 cara. Yang pertama, ia merangsang titik akupuntur pada tapak kaki dan yang keduanya dengan menarik keluar toksin melalui peluh. Secara asasnya ia bertindak sebagai “vacuum cleaner” toksin yang menarik keluar bahan berbahaya melalui peluh.

Kandungan.

Secara umumnya bahan-bahan yang terkandung di dalam detox foot patch ialah tourmaline,debu pokok oak, cuka daripada buluh, kulit carapace( mempunyai kuasa penyerap yang kuat ) dan beberapa jenis herba yang selamat digunakan.

Kulit carapase daripada ketam.

Kulit carapace udang  sebagaimana yang diwarnakan dalam rajah di atas.

Tourmaline :

Tourmaline merupakan mineral yang membebaskan ion negatif dan tenaga infra-red. Secara umumnya ia dapat membantu peredaran darah, mengurangkan stress, meningkatkan tahap kewaspadaan dan menguatkan fungsi imun badan. (Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8).  Tenaga infra-red yang terhasil daripada tourmaline tersebut dapat merangsang titik refleksologi dan membantu menyingkirkan toksin daripada badan.  Ion negatif  yang dibebaskan oleh tourmaline pula meningkatkan degradasi pengoksidaan serotonin yang mengurangkan serotonin di dalam badan. Pengurangan serotonin memberikan ketenangan kepada diri individu dan meningkatkan system pertahanan badan menentang jangkitan.

Men who spend too much time sitting — even those who exercise regularly — are at higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, according to a study by researchers from the University of South Carolina’s Arnold School of Public Health.

The study found men who sat 23 hours or more — while watching television or riding in cars — had a 64 percent greater risk of dying from heart disease than those who spent about half that time sitting. Even if the men who sit a lot also were physically active when not sitting, they had higher rates of cardiovascular mortality.

The message: We need to get up and move around, according to Tatiana Y. Warren, a Ph.D. candidate in exercise science and the study’s lead author.

Even people who spend a lot of time working at a desk or watching television need to get up and move during the day.

“Get up and move. Move constantly during the day,” Warren said. “Take the stairs, park farther away. Bring in more leisure physical activity through the day. It’s beneficial.”

Forget Happy Meals, sweet and computer games-here are 10 ways to get your children on the road to a healthier life.

According to the Government’s National Diet and Nutrition survey, 92% of children consume more saturated fat than the maximum recommended level for adults, and 83% consume added sugars higher than suggested adult levels. Not surprisingly, our children are getting fatter, and many experts are warning that the problem is getting out of hand. For the first time, there’s a very real chance that parents could start outliving their offspring, due to obesity-related diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Here are some tips and ideas on how to keep your kids healthy.

1. Honesty is the best policy

Try to resist sneaking vegetables onto your plates – children are not stupid! Instead encourage them to help you in in the kitchen and explain to them what ingredients you are using and why they’re healthy .Show them how tasty sauces can be when you add some chopped veg. 

2. Avoid the dirty dozen

Some ingredients found in pre packed food especially those marketed at children  may be detrimental to their health. According to Organix, these are 12 offenders and where they can be found :

a)       Mechanically recovered / separated meat – sausages

b)       MSG E621

c)       Sodium 5-ribonucleopeptide E635 – snacks

d)       Aspartame – soft drinks, snacks

e)       Acesulfame K – snacks and soft drinks.

f)        Sodium saccharide – snacks and soft drinks.

g)       Sodium benzoate E211 – many soft and fizzy drinks and food sauces

h)       Sulphur dioxide E220 – soft drinks and some meat

i)        Artificial colorings.

j)        High salt content – processed food such as tomato ketchup and soup.

k)       Hydrogenated and saturated fat – fatty foods like take-aways, burgers, chocolate and crisps.

l)        Refined sugar – sugary foods and cereal bars.

3. Exchange bad for good

There are so many easy ways you can swap junk food for healthier alternatives without losing out on flavour.

4.Don’t be too strict

Tastes for salty and sweet foods are developed early in life. So, it is OK to let your children take sweet food like fruit desserts,rice puddings and custards as they supply important nutrients such as vitamin C, calcium and protein. But make sure they eat a generally balanced diet.

5.What makes a good lunch?

School lunches have had a bad press of late, so turn your back on pre-packed produce and make your own lunches that are brimming with good nutrition.

a)      Keep the fats healthy – nuts, seeds, and olive oil all contain unsaturated fats which are good for health.

b)      Wholegrain reign – If you are sending them off to school with a sandwich, opt for more nutritious wholegrain varieties of bread rather than refined white bread.

c)      Think before they drink – It’s no good packing them a feast of raw vegetable if it’s washed down with a can of mirinda or pepsi. Give your kids milk, water or pure fruit juice.

d)     Variety is the spice of life – Boredom can result in children picking at meals and then snacking later on fatty items.

6.  Snack Attack

When hunger strikes, serve them with something that will not only keep the kids fulfilled but full of calories. Here are some child-friendly options: crackers, home made popcorn,yoghurt,raisins and rice cakes.

7. Dump the junk

Check out these 3 great ideas for getting more healthy foods into junk-food mad kids, from What Really Works for Kids by Susan Clark.

• Make frozen yoghurt to keep in the freezer. Just add pureed fruits to live plain yoghurt and freeze.
• Enhance the nutritional value of daily staples by adding fruit to breakfast cereals, yoghurt and ice creams.
• Thicken sauces with vegetables purees instead of cream and milk.

8.  Keep a well stocked fruit bowl

Instead of stocking up the sweetie cupboard, pile the fruit bowl high with tempting fresh produce.

9.  Make fitness fun

One of the main reasons for childhood obesity is lack of physical activity. If your children are not particularly active,don’t worry. Kids are naturally active, so should not really need much encouragement to get involved in energetic pursuits.

10. Find TV alternatives

The prevalence of TV and computers combined with parents’ reluctance to allow their offpring out to play in parks and public places has been blamed for our children’s increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Another worry is that children who watch TV four hours of TV a day are exposed to as many as 40 food commercials. This barrage of advertising is often aimed specifically at children and promotes high fat, unhealthy food. So what can you do?

a)      Monitor what they watch on TV.

b)      Round up your children’s friends and head for the park. The kid can run around and let off steam.

c)      Draw up a chart and reward kids with a star every time they eat portion of fruit or veg.

d)     One evening a week, switch the TV off and play a family games.

What is a balanced diet for children?

A balanced diet should include the following food groups:

1. Fruit and vegetables ( at least 5 portions per day )

2. Bread,other cereals and potatoes ( with every meal )

3. Milk and dairy products ( several servings per day )

4. Meat, fish and vegetarian alternatives ( 1 or 2 servings a day )

5. Foods containing saturated fat and refined sugar should be limited.

* If you are at all concerned with your child’s health then you should always consult your GP.
