Produk yang Berasaskan Soya

Sambungan daripada entri yang sebelum ini...

Jika anda suka makan makanan berasaskan soya, berikut adalah antara produk soya fermentasi yang utama:

1. Tempe
2. Miso- soya yang diperbuat bersama barli atau beras malta. Selalunya digunakan dalam masakan jepun untuk dibuat sup atau sos.
3. Natto- makanan tradisional Jepun yang diperbuat bersama Bacillus subtilis. Mempunyai tekstur yang melekat dan rasanya seperti keju.

Selain daripada itu, manfaat utama dari kacang soya fermentasi terutama natto adalah sumber makanan terbaik untuk vitamin K2. Kerana vitamin K2 sangat penting untuk mencegah osteoporosis, penyakit jantung, penyakit otak seperti dimensia(dimentia) iaitu penyakit yang kehilangan fungsi mental dan melindungi anda daripada pelbagai penyakit kanser seperti kanser prostat, kanser paru-paru, kanser hati dan leukimia. Apa yang harus anda tahu ialah vitamin K bertindak secara bersinergi dengan vitamin D untuk membuat anda sihat.

Vitamin K kadang-kadang disebut sebagai "vitamin dilupakan" kerana manfaatnya sering diabaikan. Ia dinamakan selepas perkataan "koagulasi/koagulation," untuk mencerminkan peranan penting dalam pembekuan darah. Bahkan, enzim nattokinase yang diturunkan dari natto lebih selamat dan lebih kuat daripada aspirin dalam melarutkan pembekuan darah, dan telah digunakan dengan selamat selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Jika anda menikmati natto atau beberapa makanan fermentasi soya yang lain, anda boleh mendapatkan beberapa miligram vitamin K2 dari mereka setiap hari (peringkat ini jauh melebihi jumlah vitamin K2 yang dijumpai bahkan dalam sayuran hijau). Malangnya kita tidak sedar akan perkara ini. Malahan orang dewasa turut dicadangkan untuk mengambil sekurang-kurangnya 150mcg vitamin K2 pada setiap hari.

Antara makanan yang berasaakan soya yang perlu dielakkan adalah,

1. Tofu(tauhu)
2. TVP (texturized vegetable protein) atau sayur protein bertekstur dan protein soya terasing (soy protein isolate) yang mana ia mengandungi kandungan msg yang besar seperti:
   • minyak soya 
   • susu soya 
   • keju soya, ais krim soya, yogury soya 
   • 'daging' soya (produk tanpa daging yang diperbuat daripada TVP) 
   • protein soya 
   • edamame (kacang soya muda - digunakan secara meluas di China, Korea dan Jepun dalam masakan dan keropok) 
   • formula soya bayi(susu tepung)

Cara yang terbaik untuk menghilangkan soya bukan organik dan fermentasi dalam diet anda adalah dengan mengelakkan semua makanan soya yang telah diproses. Sekiranya anda membeli makanan yang dipek, anda boleh menyemak sama ada produk tersebut mengandungi soya atau tidak. Bermula pada tahun 2006, akta Perlindungan Pengguna dan Pnglabelan Alergi Makanan (The Food Allergen Labelling and Consumer Protection Act) mensyaratkan bahawa pengeluar produk makanan perlu untuk menyenaraikan sekiranya produk kilang mereka ada mengandungi soya, pada label kerana ia merupakan satu daripada lapan makanan berlergi.

 Awas! 

• Sos soya yang diperbuat secara tradisional seperti soya fermentasi, garam dan enzim, seharusnya diwaspada kerana, kebanyakan daripada mereka ada yang menggunakan bahan kimia.
• Tofu(tauhu) tidak boleh berada dalam senarai di atas kerana, tofu tidak diperam tetapi hanya digumpal(coagulate) sehingga ia bukanlah salah satu makanan soya yang dicadangkan.

A Werewolf Boy

...is a 2012 South Korean fantasy romance film in which a beautiful teenage girl is sent to a country house for her health, where she befriends and attempts to civilize a feral boy she discovers on the grounds. But the beast inside him is constantly waiting to burst out.

Synopsis

Kim Sun-yi(Yeong-ran Lee), an elderly woman in her sixties living in the US, receives a phone call about the sale of her old family home back in South Korea. Returning to her homeland, she's met by granddaughter Eun-joo, and they drive to the house in the country and stay the night. Sun-yi recalls how 47 years ago when she was a teenage girl in 1965, she moved from Seoul along with her widowed mother(Young-nam Jang) and sister Sun-ja(Kim Hyang Gi) to a remote valley to undergo a period of convalescence after suffering problems with her lungs. The Kims lived in genteel poverty at the mercy of their arrogant and foppish landlord, Ji-tae(Yoo Yeon-seok), son of the business partner of Sun-yi's late father. Because of her delicate health, the beautiful yet introverted Sun-yi(Park Bo-young) lives an isolated life in the country home, without any friends her age.

One night, Sun-yi glimpses a shadow in the outhouse; the next day, she discovers a feral boy of about 19 crouching in their yard. The boy's body temperature is 46 degrees Celsius, his blood type unidentifiable, and he can neither read nor speak. Even though he behaves like a wild beast, Sun-yi's kindhearted mother adopts him and names him Chul-soo(Song Joong-ki), assuming he's one of more than 60,000 children orphaned in the Korean War.

At first Sun-yi considers him a nuisance, but eventually has fun taming him according to a dog-training manual. She teaches him how to wait patiently before a meal, how to wear clothes, how to speak, how to write and other human behavior so that he could one day live like a normal man. Chul-soo demonstrates unswerving loyalty and superhuman brawn, thus inspiring the envy of Ji-tae, who lusts after Sun-yi.

As Sun-yi attempts to "civilize" the beast, the two eventually become very close. Sun-yi opens her heart to Chul-soo, and he in turn falls in love with her, the only person to ever show him affection. But their relationship is fraught with difficulties, as Ji-tae begins to cause trouble. Feeling threatened, Chul-soo lets loose his bestial instincts, and in their fear the town villagers turn on him. In order to save the life of the boy who risked his to be by her side, Sun-yi leaves him with a promise: "Wait for me. I’ll come back for you".

Returning to present day, Sun-yi decides to stay the night. In the middle of the night she walks into the shed to find Chul-soo sitting there, still as young as he was 47 years ago. He hands her the note that she wrote. She realizes that he's been there waiting all along. He reads her the book that she asked him to when he can speak, as she sleeps. The next day she wakes up with Chul-soo nowhere in sight. She leaves with her granddaughter. In the car they receive a call from the county asking about the property. Sun-yi tells him that she's not selling the place and hangs up. Chul-soo stares from afar as the car drives away.

A sequence in the ending credits shows Chul-soo building a snowman.

Wishing Stairs

Korean Horror Film: Wishing Stairs

Plot

Wishing Stairs also known as Whispering Corridors 3: Wishing Stairs is a South Korean horror film. Yun Jin-sung (Song Ji-hyo) and Kim So-hee's life (Park Han-byul) are best friends studying ballet at an all-girls art school, the latter usually showing a lot of affection towards the former. However, their friendship soon turns sour when they find themselves competing for a single spot in a Russian ballet school. At an art exhibit within the school, Jin-sung learns from an odd, near obese student named Eom Hye-ju (Jo An), of an old legend that if a person climbs the twenty eight steps leading up to the school's dormitory, counting each step aloud, and finds a twenty ninth, then a fox spirit will appear, and grant that person's wish. Curious, Jin-sung does climb the stairs and comes across the twenty ninth, happily wishing to gain the spot. To her surprise and anger later on, So-hee is selected instead. When So-hee confronts her on this, Jin-sung declares her hatred towards her best friend and accidentally sends the former down a flight of stairs during a scuffle. So-hee is left unconsciousness and hospitalized.

Jin-sung visits So-hee in the hospital and learns indirectly that she is no longer able to study ballet during an argument with her mother due to her injuries from the fall. Jin-sung tries to apologize towards her friend for what happened, but receives no reply and leaves feeling guilty. During the next day, she learns from another student in class that So-hee had committed suicide by jumping out of her hospital room to her death, causing her to faint as a result. As the fight between the two was witnessed by several other girls, Jin-sung is now seen down upon by many of the student body, who believe that she intentionally pushed So-hee down the flight of stairs out of jealously. As Jin-sung's wish comes true in which she gets the spot for the ballet school, her fellow students throw her a surprise party for it, but still treat her coldly by throwing a cake for her into her face.

Affected greatly by So-hee's death, as she was the only girl to treat her with kindness, Hye-ju attempts to keep So-hee's belongings for herself, but is ridiculed by other students for it, mainly Han Yun-ji (Park Ji-yeon), a girl who enjoys bullying Hye-ju over her weight. Later on, she climbs the steps outside the dormitory too, and is able to wish for So-hee to come back. While So-hee does indeed return, she returns as a twisted spirit who initially frightens Hye-ju, but soon gains her trust by telling her she had liked her a lot and convinces her to dye her hair black. However, So-hee soon possesses her.

As Yun-ji has finished up a sculpting project in a storage room within the school's basement, she is soon confronted by the possessed Hye-ju and is made fun of by smelling weird. The possessed Hye-ju questions as to why she must be always be bullied by her, then proceeds to stab Yun-ji to death with a pair of scissors. As Jin-Sung enters the room to gather supplies, she is encountered by Hye-ju as well, who tries to convince her that she is So-hee. After coming across Yun-ji's corpse, Jin-sung is convinced that Hye-ju is insane and tries to get away from her, knocking over a can of oil. After hearing So-hee's voice in Hye-ju stating that their friendship will end, Jin-sung is able to leave. The spirit of So-hee then apparently makes Hye-ju light a match and toss it over the spilled oil, leaving the troubled girl to perish within the growing flames.

While Jin-sung is preparing to leave for the ballet school, she is again haunted by So-hee within her dorm room and throughout the school several times. Unable to endure the spirit's presence any further, she tries to climb the stairs again in order to wish her away. Before she could reach the top, So-hee calls out to her, then holds her arms around her stomach as Jin-sung confesses that she didn't hate her and simply wanted to be happy. Believing that Jin-sung does not love her as much as the other way around, So-hee states that she want to be with her always and proceeds to crush Jin-sung's stomach inwards with her arms, killing her. After letting her friend's now-lifeless body fall to the bottom of the stairs, the spirit vanishes.

Some time later, a new girl (whose face is not seen) moves into the same dorm room that Jin-sung once occupied. As she moves her stuff around, a picture with Jin-sung and So-hee on it is seen on the floor of the room. Within it, So-hee's irises on her eyes disappear, implying that she still remains.

Synopsis

The film itself seems to mirror the ballet Giselle, which girls in the film are studying, as well as drawing upon the classic short story The Monkey's Paw, with So-hee as Giselle, and Jin-sung as Albrecht. Unhappy with always having to play the "prince" to So-hee's princess, Jin-sung betrays So-hee, which in turn leads to So-hee being crippled and commits suicide after her friend Jin-sung confesses she has hated her all along. When So-hee's spirit is wished back, Jin-sung is haunted by So-hee's ghost, the love she once felt for her friend warped by Jin-sung's hurtful actions.
