Do you have halitophobia already? Want to know more about effective
bad breath cures? Halitosis or foul breath can be embarrassing to many
people and may cause social and self-esteem problems. However, it's
curable and there are a lot of solutions available.
The
most effect treatment is proper dental hygiene. Toothbrush and floss
after every meal. Apart from that, clean tongue at least twice a day
with a tongue scraper or cleaner. Also, if you have dentures, these
should also be regularly cleaned.
Use mouthwash for gargling.
Mouthwashes contain compounds like triclosan, chlorhexidine, zinc
gluconate, chlorine dioxide and essential oils that may effectively
eliminate bad breath for a few hours. However some on these compounds
may react with toothpaste ingredients, so it is advisable to refrain
from using a mouthwash after or right before tooth brushing.
Chlorine
dioxide is most common component in mouthwash and toothpaste that
effectively reduces mal-odor from sulfate compound broken down by
bacteria in the mouth. It reduces anaerobic bacteria and neutralizes
breath odors especially those that are sulfur based. Ample doses of
concentrated Chlorine dioxide can also come in deodorizing tablets that
can be dissolve to water and taken as a mouthwash.
In a paper
published by UCLA School of Dentistry in 2000, it was found out that
Zinc chloride-based tongue cleaners were more effective than chlorine
dioxide mouth rinse solutions. Zinc reduces volatile sulfur compounds
that may cause bad odor. The study also showed that regular use of
tongue cleaners in adults are effective bad breath cures. Likewise in
the European Journal of Oral Sciences in 2003, a research paper showed
that chlorhexidine and cetylperidinium chloride agents are effective
inhibitors of volatile sulfur compounds in the mouth.
Some
oriental and alternative medicines may also work against foul breath. In
ancient India, followers of Ayurveda recommend chewing of areca nut and
betel leaf to fight off bad breath. Betel leaves and areca nut are
natural breath fresheners. The only set-back about betel leaves is that
they dye one's teeth red. In Ancient Greece, foul breath was fought by
gargling wine and herbs.
Mint gum and lozenges are also quick
on-the-go bad breath cures. Other oral hygiene kits may include breath
drops, and sprays. However these quick solutions also offer quick breath
smell neutralization that may only last an hour.

Nuts and Coronary Heart Disease
Did you Know?
Nut consumption reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Millions of people world-wide die from CHD each year. Epidemiological studies have shown that adding moderately walnuts or almonds to ones diet will decrease serum concentration of cholesterol in both women and men. Also, nuts have other protective constituents, such as protein, magnesium, vitamin E, fibre, potassium and alpha linolenic acid.
Combinations of Nuts
Nuts are a good source of food, but too many combinations of nuts when preparing a meal is not good practice; instead use simple combinations of nuts in your diet. Nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E. Walnuts can help reduce the risk of CHD and does not cause a person to put on weight. However, there are drawbacks with some nuts, for example, peanuts are prone to contamination by moulds that produce carcinogens, and the areca nuts have several deleterious effects on oral and general health. Also, almonds that are not matured contain cyanide-producing compounds that can kill a person. Small quantities of walnuts help decrease cholesterol in the body, leading to a reduction of CHD. The fatty acids composition of nuts is high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, which explains their protective against CHD.
Areca Nuts
Over 200 million people world-wide chew areca nuts. This practice of chewing areca nuts is commonly found in central, southern, and south-east Asia. The habit of chewing areca nuts is now emerging in Western countries. Consumption of areca nuts has been linked to the development of oral submucous fibrosis (a potentially malignant disorder of the oral cavity), and a high rate of oral cancer. The consumption of areca nuts has also been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and asthma. Areca nuts has a high level of copper (302 nmol/g) compared to other nuts (22-173 nmol/g).
Frequent nut consumption is a protection against coronary artery disease (CAD). It has beneficial effect attributing to the improvement of the serum lipid profile. The lowering of cholesterol as a result of nut consumption is greater than one realises. Nut consumption replaces saturated fat because of the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) that nuts contain. Also, nuts are rich in many nutrients that may reduce the risk of CVD (cardiovascular disease) by mechanisms that are independent of lowering cholesterol. For a person to benefit from eating walnuts, they need to eat a large amount of the product in order to have a decrease in CHD or CAD. Eating nuts are safe but take care not to eat the harmful ones. However, it is believed that Seventh Day Adventists have a low rate of CHD as a result of eating nuts; and vegans and vegetarians use nuts to substitute meats.

Paan and Betel Nut Or Areca Nut Are Embedded in South Asian Culture
I first visited the Indian subcontinent in the late 1970s, and while
in India, I was offered paan to chew. I never refuse food in case it
causes offence in other cultures, and most of the time I like what I'm
offered. However, sweet paan doesn't come into my 'like' category. I
remember feeling nauseous and giddy, and was grateful that I wasn't
expected to swallow it. Tobacco paan tasted even worse.
When I came to Pakistan, two years ago, I had almost forgotten that paan experience. Then I noticed that almost every other shop in the city of Sheikhupura had a sign saying 'PAN' on it. Being curious, I asked if I could go and look at one of the shops, which I thought might be selling some traditional cooking pots. Of course, they were actually selling paan, and the look on my face must have alerted my husband to the fact that I didn't like it. He persevered, though and asked if I'd like to try some sweet paan, or even tobacco paan. I declined his offers.
I'm not quite sure what it is that I don't like in paan. It could be the betel pepper leaf, which is the outer wrapping. On the other hand, it could be one of the liquids used to coat the leaves. One is a lime solution, not the fruit but calcium hydroxide, and the other is a pink solution (katha or catechu) made from the wood of a type of a variety of acacia tree. There again, the problem could be the betel nut (also known as the areca nut, or supari in Urdu), although there are only slivers of it in sweet paan. This grows on the betel palm tree and the nut is rather like a nutmeg to look at. The betel nut is a stimulant which is chewed without being wrapped in paan in India. It stains the mouth a bright shade of orangey-red and modern medical research has shown that it can bring on diabetes and could be the cause of oral cancers.
It is used to sweeten the breath and throughout its long history it has been thought of as an aphrodisiac. It is a traditional wedding gift in Bengal. The ingredients for making it are presented to the bride and groom, and as their love grows, the bride not only rolls paan for her husband, but feeds it to him. Paan was widely eaten by royalty and Krishna is said to have chewed the betel nut. This is mentioned in the Shrimad Bhagavat, written around 5000 years ago. Apparently, the Hindu god Vishnu likes to be presented with 32 betel pepper vine leaves.
Poems have been created to paan, such as this one by the Bengali poet Mukhya Charan Bhattacharya:
She lives indoors but is not a woman.
Not sought by the young, but adored by the old.
She is a temptress like a firefly.
Fools will not interpret this and will remain confused.

Manfaat Jambu Biji
Kandungan jambu biji ditunjang dengan adanya kandungan pektin yang merupakan serat larut air. Dengan adanya pektin, manfaat jambu biji juga dapat menurunkan kolesterol. Mengenai hal ini, pernah dilakukan penelitian oleh Singh Medical Hospital and Research Center Morrabad, India. Hasil penelitian tersebut membuktikan bahwa jambu biji mampu membantu menurunkan tekanan darah dan kadar kolesterol total.
Jambu biji juga mengandung likopen yang melimpah. Likopen ini memiliki manfaat sebagai antioksidan untuk melindungi tubuh dari penyakit kanker. Selain itu, kandungan lain pada jambu biji yang bermanfaat adalah eugenol (minyak asiri), tanin, minyak lemak, zat samak, damar, asam apfel, dan triterpinoid.
Khasiat Jambu Biji
Khasiat jambu biji yang beragam dapat kita peroleh dengan resep-resep yang tepat. Berdasarkan Dokumentasi PDII–LIPI dan Parimin S.P., manfaat jambu biji dapat digunakan untuk mengobati penyakit dengan beberapa resep penyajian sebagai berikut:
Jambu Biji untuk memperkuat jantung, antikanker, dan memperlancar sistem pencernaan. Anda dapat membuat jus dari bahan jambu biji, apel, dan melon. Campur ketiga buah tersebut dan beri madu murni sekitar 100 cc. Kemudian blender hingga halus dan minum setiap pagi dan sore.
Jambu Biji untuk mengobati Maag. Sediakan sekitar 8 helai daun jambu biji. Cuci hingga bersih dan rebus menggunakan air sebanyak 1,5 liter. Minum air rebusan ini 3x sehari.
Jambu Biji untuk mengobati Disentri. Sediakan akar dan daun jambu biji secukupnya. Potong kecil-kecil, cuci hingga bersih, dan rebus hingga mendidih. Minum air rebusan ini secara rutin hingga tidak ada keluhan.
Penemuan Pinang Jenis Baru, Endemik Biak
Secara fisik, kedua jenis flora ini beda dengan pinang pada umumnya (Areca catechu) yang digunakan sebagian orang Papua untuk menyirih. Di Papua, terutama daerah pesisir, mengunyah buah pinang dicampur bubuk kapur dan buah sirih sangat jamak. Di tepian jalan hingga sudut permukiman, buah pinang di atas lapak adalah pemandangan sehari-hari.
Sejumlah penelitian menunjukkan, ekstrak buah pinang punya khasiat kesehatan. Menurut penelitian Edy Meiyanto dan kawan-kawan pada Majalah Farmasi Indonesia 2008, aktivitas antiproliferatif (menghambat pembiakan) sel kanker payudara.
Bunga spesies pinang Adonidia maturbongsii. (Credit: Charlie D Heatubun)
Charlie dan rekannya, William J Baker (peneliti Royal Botanic Garden di Inggris), sudah mendaftarkan pada jurnal International Palm Society di Lawrance, Kansas, Amerika Serikat, yang terbit akhir September 2012. Di jurnal itu juga disebutkan, saat mengeksplorasi Supiori di Pulau Numfor, barat laut Biak, mereka menemukan spesies pinang baru lain, Heterospathe porcata.
(Baca juga: artikel jurnal ilmiah, jurnal biologi, jurnal tumbuhan)
Temuan ini bukan pertama kalinya bagi Charlie. Setahun lalu, ia memublikasikan temuan 7 spesies pinang baru, Areca bakeri, A churchii, A dransfieldii, A gurita, A mogeana, A triginticollina, dan A riparia,dimuat dalam Journal Phytotaxa pada 14 September 2011.
Terkait temuannya di Biak dan Supiori, Charlie mengatakan, buah Adonidia maturbongsii dapat dikonsumsi. Sementara ukuran pinang Hydriastele biakensis dan Heterospathe porcata terlalu kecil. Apalagi tempurung biji Heterospathe porcata juga terlalu keras untuk diremukkan gigi manusia.
”Untuk burung, biji Heterospathe porcata yang keras adalah ciri khas yang dimakan burung sebagai agen penyebar jenis palem ini,” ungkap pria yang juga Kepala Laboratorium Biologi Kehutanan dan Perlindungan Hutan Fakultas Kehutanan Universitas Negeri Papua ini di Manokwari, Papua Barat.
Penemuan tiga jenis palem baru ini hasil kombinasi penelitian lapangan, analisis karakter morfologi di herbarium, dan analisis filogenetika molekuler di laboratorium. Tujuan tahapan ini untuk menentukan taksonomi atau sistematika tumbuhan.
”Selain itu, kepentingan pemahaman akan asal-usul dan sebaran tumbuh-tumbuhan di kawasan Malesia,” paparnya kepada Kompas, Selasa (2/10/2012). Kawasan Malesia merupakan wilayah geografi tumbuhan dari perbatasan Thailand dan Malaysia di sisi barat, melalui kepulauan Indonesia sampai ke kepulauan Solomon di Pasifik di sisi timur dan Filipina di sebelah utara, sampai perbatasan dengan Australia di sisi selatan.
Analisis filogenetika, Heterospathe porcata jadi satu-satunya jenis di dalam marga palem Heterospathe yang dijumpai di dataran rendah pada pulau lepas pantai di tanah Papua. Berdasarkan karakter morfologinya, jenis ini punya kekerabatan sangat dekat dengan Heterospathe elegans (Papua Niugini) dan Heterospathe longipes (Fiji).
Sementara Hydriastele biakensis punya kekerabatan sangat dekat dengan Hydriastele palauensis dari Pulau Palau di Samudra Pasifik, yang berjarak 1.000 km dari Pulau Biak.
Menurut Charlie, fungsi ekologis pinang-pinangan secara pasti belum dipahami benar, terutama di hutan alam. Namun, seperti tumbuhan lain, tumbuhan ini berperan menyusun ekosistem hutan serta fungsi-fungsi lain bagi kesuburan dan kestabilan tanah dan air, serta menciptakan iklim mikro. Biji pinang juga sumber makanan mamalia kuskus dan tikus.
Di Biak dan Supiori, di batuan karang berongga dan lapisan tanah tipis, palem-paleman ini beradaptasi baik.
Temuan ini menambah kaya jenis palem-paleman di dunia, mencapai 2.500 jenis. Dari jumlah ini, 500 jenis di Indonesia. Meski banyak, pinang jenis baru itu endemik Biak dan Supiori.
Flora Papua amat melimpah dan belum tergali. Kini, dampak pembangunan mengancamnya.
Khasiat Pinang Muda Kopi Pinang
Pinang
Bentuknya seperti kerucut pendek dengan ujung membulat, pangkal agak datar dengan suatu lekukan dangkal, panjang 15-30 mm, permukaan luar berwarna kecoklatan sampai coklat kemerahan, agak berlekuk-lekuk menyerupai jala dengan warna yang lebih muda. Pada bidang irisan biji tampak perisperm berwarna coklat tua dengan lipatan tidak beraturan menembus endosperm yang berwarna agak keputihan
Konon, tradisi tersebut telah dimulai oleh rumpun bangsa Melayu sejak kira-kira 500 tahun sebelum masehi. Kebiasaan itu terdapat di beberapa negara di Asia Tenggara seperti Malaysia, Thailand, Srilangka, termasuk Indonesia. Namun, kebiasaan tersebut lambat-laun makin pudar seperti halnya di negara kita.
Terdapat satu hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam kebudayaan menyirih ini. Salah satu bagian yang digunakan untuk menyirih, yaitu pinang (Areca Catechu), diyakini memiliki beberapa manfaat yang berguna bagi dunia kesehatan. Khasiat biji buah pinang dapat digunakan untuk penyembuhan berbagai penyakit, seperti penyakit cacingan, kudis, disentri, difteri, batu ginjal, sariawan, dan mimisan.
Menurut penelitian para ahli, yang dikutip oleh ”The Merck Index”, khasiat yang diberikan oleh biji pinang tersebut berasal dari zat-zat yang terkandung dalam biji pinang. Salah satunya adalah Arecoline yang merupakan sebuah ester metil-tetrahidrometil-nikotinat yang berwujud minyak basa keras. Dulu, zat tersebut digunakan dalam bentuk arecolinum hydrobromicum yang berfungsi untuk membasmi cacing pita pada hewan seperti unggas, kucing, dan anjing, sebelum ditemukannya obat cacing sintetik, seperti piperazine, tetramisole, dan pyrantel pamoate.
Senyawa lain yang terkandung dalam biji pinang adalah Arecaidine atau arecaine, Choline atau bilineurine, Guvacine, Guvacoline, dan Tannin dari kelompok ester glukosa yang menggandeng beberapa gugusan pirogalol. Sifat astringent dan hemostatik dari zat tannin inilah yang berkhasiat untuk mengencangkan gusi dan menghentikan perdarahan.

Buah dan kulit buah bagian dalam dapat juga digunakan untuk menguatkan gigi goyah, bersama-sama dengan sirih. Air rendaman buah pinang muda digunakan untuk obat sakit mata oleh suku Dayak Kendayan, di kecamatan Air Besar Kalimantan Barat.
Sementara bagi masyarakat Papua umumnya, pinang muda digunakan bersama dengan sirih untuk menguatkan gigi. Selain sebagai obat penguat gigi, masyarakat pesisir pantai desa Assai dan Yoon-noni, yang didiami oleh suku Menyah, Arfak, Biak dan Serui (Papua), buah pinang muda juga digunakan sebagai obat untuk mengecilkan rahim setelah melahirkan oleh kaum wanita dengan cara memasak buah pinang muda tersebut dan airnya diminum selama satu minggu.
Buah pinang yang juga disebut betel nut mengandung alkaloida seperti misalnya arekaina (arecaine) dan arekolina (arecoline), yang sedikit banyak bersifat racun dan adiktif, dapat merangsang otak serta sistem syaraf. Sementara itu, beberapa macam buah pinang menimbulkan rasa pening apabila dikunyah. Zat lain yang dikandung buah ini antara lain arecaidine, arecolidine, guracine (guacine), guvacoline, isoguvacoline, coline dan beberapa unsur lainnya.
Meskipun khasiat dan kandungan zatnya berlimpah, ternyata pemanfaatan buah pinang yang secara tradisional telah digunakan secara luas sejak ratusan tahun lalu, juga memiliki potensi bahaya bagi tubuh. Tentu saja bahaya tersebut muncul akibat konsumsi yang berlebihan.
Seperti yang telah disebutkan di atas, buah pinang mengandung arekolin, suatu senyawa alkaloid aktif, yang bila digunakan berlebihan justru membahayakan kesehatan. Senyawa ini sangat potensial sehingga harus digunakan dalam jumlah kecil. Jadi, batasilah penggunaannya secara bijak.
