Talking about the greatness and benefits of honey as stated in al-Quran, Surah an Nahl, I want to introduce a good product to all. This is Masad, a mixture of Madu and Sawda (Arabian Black Seed) which is quite popular in Malaysia. The pure honey is from Yaman. I have been using this product and recommend to a lot of people who has since became regular user of honey product.
The main objective is not to promote the honey for profits but to educate people on it's benefits, to preserve the Sunnah of Rasullulah s.a.w of taking honey and to build a long lasting generation of honey user in every household.

Sugar used to be banned for people with diabetes. Already in the seventies it has been discovered that sugar does not have to be forbidden, but there are still misunderstandings. This is because there are many factors that play a role in diabetes and sugar itself is not the only source of food that affects the blood sugar levels.

Food gives you energy, the fuel for your body. The amount of energy in certain food products is represented in calories or kilojoules and is mentioned as Kcal/g or kJ/g on the product information label. Calories are usually seen as "bad", but we need them - calories give the body fuel. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the three most important nutrients that give us calories.

What are carbohydrates? Printable View Send to a friend
Written by OKR   

To provide enough energy every day, our body needs fuel. We can receive this fuel in different ways with our food. An important fuel supplier is carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are a collective noun for starch and sugars. You can divide sugar into natural sugars like lactose, fructose and saccharine. Glucose is being made from these carbohydrates in our body. Glucose serves as fuel to be able to walk, talk and think – we need it for all our bodily functions. Every person has glucose in their blood. People also call it blood sugar.

It is advised that half of your meal should consist of carbohydrates. The best thing to do is not to use products that are rich in saccharine, because they are rich in fat. You should choose products that contain starch instead of the group of sugars. You will find starch in bread, potatoes, peas and beans, whole-wheat products, pasta and rice. Starch supplies us with the materials for glucose, just as sugars do but it is a more complex process of digestion and hence allows us to really use more of the sugars we receive from eating it, without storing too much fat as we spend also more energy generating them and burn calories to do so.

For diabetics, since they have to watch over the levels of blood sugar, this means they need to watch the levels of all carbohydrates (not just sugar) because they all are a source for glucose in the blood.
