wondering what was that all about? he he..
those are the messages i got from The hero in my purse.
so, "what's in my purse" might be the question you have right now.
for the last six weeks raisins has been my great companion, my unsung song, and my hero.
Everyday i carry one small box of raisins in my purse. i ate it whenever i want it, but not more than 21 raisins a day. And those red marked paragraph above are the printed words inside each box i delightedly read everytime i open up my new box of raisins... and each box has diferrent word of the wise..
actually i am sort of 'infected' by my father's new 'diet' which i think is a good thing to do especially when we know the nutrition fact behind it, like how raisins playing a role in protecting agains certain illneses, how raisins support a healty diet, how it's compounds can fight bacteria in the mouth, how it rank the top of antioxidants foods, and those antioxidants may help protect healthy cells from free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules formed in the body when cells use oxygen to produce energy), that may lead to health problems like heart disease, cancer and other ills of aging and many more greates news about raisins nutritions and importance of raisins to a healty lifestyle.
there's more reasons why i pick raisins for my daily snack beside the two things:
1. the curiosity of what word of wise would be printed inside the box
2. the those nutrition facts mentioned,
here are some of it:
Nabi saww bersabda: "Barangsiapa memakan kismis merah sebanyak 21 biji setiap hari sebelum sarapan pagi, maka dia tidak akan tertimpa penyakit kecuali kematian".
Imam Ali a.s. bersabda: "Barangsiapa memakan 21 biji kismis merah, maka dia tidak akan melihat pada jasadnya suatu yang tidak disenangi".
Imam Ali a.s. bersabda : "Kismis dapat menguatkan jantung, menghilangkan penyakit panas dan memulihkan kesehatan jiwa".
Pada riwayat lain dari Abi Ja'far At-thusi disebutkan bahwa kismis dapat menghilangkan lendir dan menyehatkan jiwa".
Nabi saww bersabda: "Biasakanlah memakan kismis karena kismis dapat menghilangkan kepahitan (empedu/cairan kuning), menghilangkan lendir, menyehatkan badan, membaguskan rupa, menguatkan saraf dan menghilangkan letih".
Diriwayatkan di dalam Kitab "At-Tib An-Nabawi" (Perubatan Nabi) dalam hadis yang bermaksud:
"Sebaik-baik makanan ialah buah zabib (kismis), ia menghilangkan keletihan, menguatkan urat saraf, meredakan kemarahan, mencerahkan warna kulit dan mengharumkan bau hidung serta mulut".
