Rosella flowers are beautiful. The colors are bright refreshing views if planted in the yard of the house. Apparently this is not just flora serves as an ornamental, it also has benefits for our health.
Named latin Hisbiscus sabdariffa, this flower is useful to prevent cancer and inflammatory diseases, controlling blood pressure, blood circulation and smooth bowel movement
Roselle petals can be taken as a fresh drink of syrup and tea, jams and beverages, especially of plants that flower valvate thick. The petals contain Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and amino acids. All essential amino acids, 18 of them contained in the rosella flower petals, including arginine and legnin a role in cell rejuvenation process of the body. Additionally, roselle also contains protein and calcium. In addition, plants also known as producer of this fiber can also be processed into mixed salads, poding, even pickles.
Rosella As a traditional medicine, roselle efficacious as an antiseptic, aprodisiak, diuretics, solvents, sedativ, and tonic. A research by scientists from the Chung San Medical University in Taiwan, Chau-Jong Wang, recently discovered a new method to reduce risk of heart disease. Flora is capable of reducing the amount of plaque attached to the walls of blood vessels. Not only that, the roselle also has the potential to reduce bad cholesterol level (LDL). But once the discovery of Chau-Jong Wang still has not been tested for the human body. Experiments conducted on a number of mice fed a high fat diet with the risks of heart attacks. So rats are given a hibiscus extract and the result shows how this plant potential for mind power, roselle plants to cultivated on all kinds of soil, but is most suited to the soil is fertile and loose. During growth, roselle is not resistant to standing water. Rainfall is needed to dry land 800-1670 mm / 5 months or 180 mm / month.
Each 100 grams contains 260-280 mg of vitamin C, vitamin D, B1 and B2. The content of vitamin C 3 times more black grapes, citrus 9 times, 10 times bigger than star fruit and 2,5 times more than vitamin C in guava (kelutuk). In addition, Rosella Tea contains high Calcium (486 mg / 100 g), Magnesium and Omega 3. Rosella tea is also enriched with Vitamin A, Iron, Potassium, Beta Caroteen & Acid Essential
Benefits of Rosella
1. As Anti-Oxidant
High levels of anti-oxidants on roselle calyx could inhibit free radicals. Some chronic diseases are mostly found today are caused by exposure to excessive free radicals yangn. Among kidney damage, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and cancer. In addition, free radicals can cause premature aging.
The more intense red color on rosella flower petals, it would be more acidic and contain anthosianin (as anti-oxidants) higher. Unfortunately anti-oxidant levels are to be reduced if experience the process of warming and drying (with oven). Levels of anti-oxidants that are at the highest level if consumed in dry form.
2. Anti Cancer
With the anti-oxidant, free radical cells that damage the cell nucleus can be removed. That's why rosella has anti-cancer effects.
The results Hui-Hsuan Lin from the Institute Of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Chung San Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan. Proving that is anti rosella gastric cancer. Rosella research found anti-oxidants to kill cancer cells and apoptosis sitotoksis method.
Another study conducted by DE-Xing Hou in Japan, a researcher from the Department of Biochemical Science Ang Technology, Faculty Of agricultural product, Kagoshima University, Japan, found that 3-sambubioside delphidin, rosella potent antioxidants to overcome the blood cancer leukemia aka .. How it works by inhibiting the loss of mitochondrial membrane and release of cytochrome from mitochondria to setosol.
3. Anti Hypertension Mauren Williams, ND, a Doctor of naturopathy from Bastyr University in Seattle, United States, has conducted a study of 70 people with a level of mild to moderate hypertension who were in good health and did not do any treatment since a month before the research is done. Randomly, some people asked to consume as much as 1 liter The rosella before breakfast, some longer consume 25 mg of anti-hypertension drug. After four weeks, diastolic blood pressure was reduced by ten points to 79% of people who consume rosella and 84% for those who take antihypertensive medications.
4. Hearts keeper
Chau-Jung Wang of the Institute Of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, College of Medicine, Chung San Medical University, Taichung Taiwan, find other property rosella. Research results indicated that the roselle extract can mellindungi rat liver. Once given the 1-5% rosella for 9 weeks, such as liver damage and fibrosis steasis down. The method works with a lower aspartate aminotransferase (ALT), improve the amount of reduced glutathione, and inhibit the increase in the amount of fat perosida injection caused liver disease.
5. Prevent Osteoporosis
The most important substances that play a role in preventing osteoporosis rosella is calcium. The content of calcium in rosella is high at 486 mg/100 grams. The main function of calcium is filling density (density) of bone. Calcium in the bone has two functions is an integral part of bone structure and as a storage of calcium. In the early stages of fetal growth, as the embryo formed bone matrix of the body. Then the matrix was further strengthened through the process of calcification is the formation of mineral crystals. Calcium and phosphorus is a key element in these structures, so they should be in sufficient quantity contained in the fluid surrounding the matrix of bone.
6. Another benefit Rosella Flowers
Another benefit of the sebgai laksative rosella flowers and natural diuretic, which can maintain healthy kidneys, lowering blood pressure, reduce the symptoms of a cough accompanied by sputum, as well as refreshing and relieving thirst. Besides processed into tea, jams, jellies and syrups, rosella may also be processed into fresh drink manufacturing is very easy.
