Home Made Protein Bars Recipe


Contains: 300 calories each
              15g of protein per bar


Ingredients:

  • 4 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal
  • 1 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
Procedure:
  • Combine the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Put some foil or baking paper in, transfer the dough in, flattening it nicely. Place the dish into the fridge and keep it there minimum 4-5 hours or overnight. 
  • Cut it into 16 bars or cut pieces off as you need them and as much as you need all week long. Keep it cool at all times, since it's a no-bake it will eventually soften up, hopefully not inside your pocket! If  you take it with you to work I suggest you put it in the fridge there before it melts although this particular recipe is pretty consistent.

Fact or Myth



Fact or Myth?

"Dear Readers,

A recent post about the Graviola Tree fruit and its cancer curing benefits has been doing the rounds on facebook. The post claims that it is a miraculous natural cancer killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemotherapy.

We took out some time and researched the actual facts for empowering our readers with the correct knowledge.

It is a fact that Soursop (Graviola fruit) has certain health benefits, attributed to its anti-parasitic, anti-microbial and anti-depressive properties, and recent studies have shown that it MAY have chemotherapeutic potential, but the part of the message saying it is natural cancer cell killer, 10,000 times stronger than Chemotherapy, is not a validated statement.

In India, it is generaly known as shul-ram-fal and hanuman fal, and as mullaatha in Malayalam. The bark, leaves, root and fruits of this tree are used for traditional remedies in many countries. Graviola extracts are used for treating infections of viruses or parasites, rheumatism, arthritis, diarrhea, dysentery, depression and sickness.

The whole idea about Soursop fighting cancer came after a research at Purdue University's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The research concluded that the active components of the tree are a unique phytochemical substances known as annonaceous acetogenins, which MAY have chemotherapeutic potential, especially with regard to multi drug-resistant cancer cells. But these tests were only confined to test tubes, no large scale clinical trials were conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of Graviola for treating cancer. Therefore, there is no significant evidence to show that Soursop works as a cure for cancer.

Studies even show that use of Soursop can have certain adverse effects in some people, especially movement disorders and nerve damage which is due to the very high concentration of annonacin. Graviola also has few other side effects like lowering the blood pressure, so it should be avoided by people with low blood pressure or heart complications. The antimicrobial properties of Soursop can also kill beneficial bacteria on the skin and gut, which can lead to infections in long term use.

One can find thousands of websites online selling it as a miracle fruit. We advise our readers not to believe them blindly, but consult a doctor or oncologist before using it.
