Blueberries can slash body's fat cells

Slimmers should start snacking on blueberries, as they slash the number of fat cells in the body by up to three-quarters, say scientists.

Researchers found the fruit can break down existing fat cells and prevent new ones from forming, making them a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against rising obesity.

Blueberries, which have already been lauded as a superfood for their ability to help prevent heart disease and Type-2 diabetes, contain high levels of polyphenols – groups of chemicals with potential health benefits.

Tests revealed polyphenols can cut the number of fat cells in the body by 73 per cent with a large dose and 27 per cent with the smallest dose, the American Society for Nutrition’s Experimental Biology 2011 meeting heard.

Using tissue taken from mice, scientists looked at what effect the polyphenols in blueberries might have in fighting the development of fat cellsand inducing lipolysis, the break down fats within the body.

Results, presented at the Experimental Biology 2011 meeting for the American Society for Nutrition, showed that the highest dose of blueberry polyphenols caused the lipids in the mouse tissue to decrease by almost three quarters at 73 per cent, with even the lowest dose cutting the amount of lipids in the tissue by over a quarter at 27 per cent.

    Other version available: 32 bit Windows XP & 64 bit Windows Vista/Windows 7.
2. Download both 'Catalyst Software Suite' and 'HydraVision Package' software.
3. Install both software and everything was self explanatory.
4. Upon completion, reboot your PC and the error message disappeared.

The CCC is back!

Hotlink tak dapat hantar sms ke Celcom pada 06/09/2012

Inilah telefon antik saya, NOKIA 2100

Kira-kira pukul 5 petang tadi saya menerima sms dari seorang kawan dan apabila saya menjawab serta menghantar kembali sms kepadanya, gambar di atas adalah jawapan yang saya terima.

Berikutan itu saya cuba menghantar semula sms tersebut dan jawapan yang sama juga saya terima. Lepas itu saya 'reset/reboot' dengan memadamkan telefon bimbit saya dan hantar sms semula bila telah dihidupkan, jawapan yang sama juga saya terima. Bila saya semak kredit telefon bimbit saya, dah kena potong...

Berikutan itu saya telefon kawan saya untuk mendapatkan pengesahan, sah beliau tak menerima sms yang saya hantar kepada beliau walaupun kredit saya telah dipotong. Untuk makluman, saya menggunakan perkhidmatan Hotlink (Maxis) dan telefon kawan saya pula menggunakan perkhidmatan Celcom.

Dengan rasa tak puas hati, maka saya pun membuat aduan kepada Hotline M'sia (1300820120). Seperti biasa mereka tanya nombor telefon, nama pendaftar dan sebagainya untuk pengesahan. Lepas dengar masalah saya, operator tersebut menyuruh saya semak 'message center number' dan menyuruh saya tukar ke '+60120000015'. Oleh kerana saya menggunakan telefon lama maka saya terpaksa putuskan talian dan semak serta menukar apa yang disuruh. Memang pun nombor tersebut yang tercatat pada 'message center number' pada telefon saya. Lepas itu saya cuba hantar sms kepada kawan yang sama tadi seperti di atas dan masalah tetap sama...

Saya telefon balik ke Hotline M'sia, operator kedua pula suruh saya cuba pula dengan telefon lain sebab dia syak telefon saya rosak, maklum lah telefon antik katakan. Maka buat kali kedua saya putuskan talian dan buat apa yang disuruh. Masalah tetap sama...

Kali ketiga saya telefon balik ke Hotline M'sia, kali ini operator wanita pula yang menjawab. Tanya punya tanya dicampur dengan jawapan tak puas hati saya maka baru operator tersebut memberitahu saya seperti berikut:- 'Encik, hari ini Hotlink ada masalah penghantaran sms ke Celcom, Encik cuba lagi esok'. Saya tanya balik macam mana dengan kredit saya yang telah dipotong tanpa menghantar sms? Dia suruh telefon balik selepas 2 jam sebab pada sistem dia tak nampak transaksi yang terkini yang telah saya buat.

Maka berakhir lah ketidakpuasan saya sebagai pengguna yang tidak mendapat servis dari kredit yang telah dipotong. Mereka tak boleh buat apa-apa dan cuma mengambil aduan saya dan buat laporan untuk tindakan jurutera esok.

Tak lama selepas itu saya terima pula sms dari 20002 yang berbunyi seperti berikut:-

• Please rate our Maxis staff from 1 to 5, 1=lowest & 5=highest for the customer experience you received. Kindly reply to 20002 at no cost to you. 10Q.

Selepas anda baca semua di atas, apa jawapan anda? Saya jawab '1' lah... dan lepas hantar, saya terima sms mengatakan 'Delivered to: 20002'. Terbukti tiada masalah pada telefon antik saya.

Sebelum terlupa, ketika saya memberitahu operator wanita tersebut bahawa telefon yang saya guna ialah NOKIA 2100, beliau gelak... Patut pun mereka syak telefon saya rosak sebab telefon antik. 8 tahun sudah saya guna telefon tersebut tanpa masalah dan saya yakin masalah hari bukan masalah telefon antik saya.

Kebelakangan ini kita sering terbaca di dada akhbar menceritakan tentang penipuan ribuan sehingga ke ratusan ribu ringgit oleh warga asing. Saya sebagai bekas kakitangan kewangan serta perbankan sememangnya tidak percaya perkara sebegini boleh berlaku disebabkan cara mereka menipu tak logik langsung.

Gambar di atas merupakan e-mail yang saya terima hari ini dan saya yakin dengan e-mail tersebut ramai yang terpikat dengan habuan serta janji jutaan ringgit. Mungkin ini lah caranya mereka menjalankan kegiatan penipuan di laman sesawang.

Kepada sesiapa yang berhajat ingin ditipu,  bolehlah dapatkan e-mail pengirim dari saya.
