Olives

Olives (zaytun) have numerous health benefits,including being rich in vitamins (in particular vitamin E),minerals, monounsaturated fats, and anti-oxidants.They are full of nutritional value,helping to fight against a number of critical diseases;including cancer,anthritis,osteoporosis,  constipation,inflammation and asthama.It isn't any wonder that Allah has sworn by the olive in the Quran;"By the fig and the olive,and the Mount of Sinai............."
[surah at-Teen;95:1-2]
And a tree(olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai,that grows(produces) oil,and (it is a)relish for eaters.*
(Surat al-Muminun:20).

Importance of breakfst

Ever wondered why your elders always emphasize on the importance of a good breakfast??????

It's because it gives you a good start to face the whole day's mental and physical ups & downs.One definitely feels less cranky on full stomach.Although breakfast is the most imporatant meal of the day,still it is the most neglected one.After 8-12 hours without a meal or snack,our body needs to replenish the blood glucose or sugar level.Your body spends the night repairing itself and in the morning it,(especially the brain) needs fresh supply of glucose,its main source of energy.The brain requires a large amount of glucose to keep functioning to its maximum ability,& to stay in perfect shape to face all days' mental and physical challenges.Your mum was right(and it's ok to admit it),the breakfast is the most important meal of the day!!!

Honey

According to the Quran and Hadith of  Prophet Mohammed(SAW),honey is considered as a healer of disease.Honey offers incredible antiseptic,antioxidants and cleansing properties for our body and health,treating digestive problems such as diarrhea,indigestion,stomach ulcers and gastroenteritis.
The Quran refers to honey:
"Bees were inspired through inborn advice by the Rabb,instructing:'Make hives in mountains,in trees and in that which they (humans) build.Then eat of all the fruits and follow the ways of your Rabb submissively.There comes out from within (their bodies) a drink of various hues(honey),in it is healing(effect) for humans.Verily in this is a sign for the people who consider it.'"[Surah Nahl:68-69]

Water & Milk

Allah says in Quran,"Pure milk,easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink" (Sura Nahl:66)

Health benefits of milk include good bone health,robust skin,good immune system,prevention of illness such as hypertension,dental decay,dehydration,respiratory problems,obesity,osteoporosis and even some forms of cancer.

Sayyidina Anas ibn Malik(R.A) relates that Prophet (SAW) drank water in three breaths(i.e. in three gulps/sips)and used to say,it is more pleasing and satisfying in this manner.

Drinking water has harmful effects in one breath;especially weakens the muscles and nerves and it is also detrimental for the liver and stomach.
