Benefits of grape seeds and apples

Salam...

Sebenarnya, aku sedang bersiap-siap untuk melakukan senaman rutin harianku iaitu berjogging dan brisk walking. Sebelum berlari, biasalah kita perlu membuat stretching terlebih dahulu untuk mengurangkan risiko kecederaan semasa berjogging nanti.

Semasa sibuk membuat stretching tadi, aku teringat untuk berkongsi dengan anda tentang khasiat dan kebaikan 2 jenis buah iaitu apple dan grape (anggur). Aku stop stretching, capai lappy aku dan release artikel ini. Aku biarkan sahaja penerangan tentang khasiat-khasiat buah-buah tersebut di dalam bahasa Inggeris kerana banyak terminology yang merujuk kepada jenis-jenis penyakit adalah di dalam bahasa Inggeris.

10. It prevents the growth of bacteria, which cause tooth decay.
11. It also helps in increasing the bone density, thereby curbing the chances of contracting osteoporosis.

Perlu juga aku tekankan di sini bahawa, khasiat anggur (grape) banyak di bahagian bijinya. Tetapi, kebiasaannya kita suka benar membuang biji-biji anggur tersebut. Malahan, bila kita ingin membeli anggur, selalunya kita minta atau cari jenis anggur yang tiada biji. So, selepas membaca artikel ini, marilah kita makan anggur dengan mengunyah dan menelan biji-bijinya sekali. Apabila membeli anggur, carilah yang paling banyak bijinya...hehehe.

Opppss...aku dah lewat untuk berjogging ni!
Terpaksa mengulang kembali stretching sebelum berlari...

Jom bersenam!



Sekian.
