Solat Merawat Otak

Kita mungkin pernah terdengar cerita tentang pakar saraf otak yg menyatakan bahawa ketika sujud beberapa urat saraf akan diperbaiki, saya ingin membetulkan sedikit fakta tersebut. Sebenarnya bukan beberapa urat saraf sahaja tetapi seluruh bahagian depan otak iaitu prefrontal cortex (PFC), bahagian ini merupakan "decision maker" bg manusia utk merancang, berfikir dgn waras, rational, kreativiti, future planning, critical thinking dan byk lagi sifat yg membezakan manusia dan haiwan.

Manusia makin lari dr sifat kemanusiaan kerana PFCnya makin lama makin lemah, seperti otot yg lama tidak digunakan. Manusia yg selalu didlm stress atau apa2 sahaja sifat2 negatif termasuklah cemburu, hasad, pemarah dan macam2 lagi sebenarnya lebih byk menggunakan "reflect brain" (bahagian belakang yg primitif) dr the "thinking brain". Ini desebabkan oleh hormon andrenalin yg dikeluarkan ketika stress/takut. Hormon andrenalin juga menyebabkan darah kebahagian depan (thinking brain) berkurangan kerana fisiolagi manusia ketika stress/takut, harus lebih bersedia untuk bertindak pantas tanpa perlu berfikir panjang samada untuk lari atau lawan (seperti haiwan).

Jadi bila selalu sgt stress dan PFC menjadi lemah, kebanyakan manusia yg menyatakan mereka berfikir sebenarnya adalah diragukan, mereka sebenarnya lebih menggunakan memori atau pun reflect brain menyebabkan hidup dalam keadaan yg sama, mengulang kesalahan yg sama atau pun membuat tindakan yg penuh kesalan dikemudian hari.

Apa yg didedahkan oleh saintis UM seperti yg lapurkan diakhbar2 baru ini , terutamanya bab membawa ketenangan adalah kerana bila manusia lebih tenang, tiada hormon andrenalin yg sebelum ini mengecilkan salur darah ke PFC menyebabkan perjalanan darah ke PFC lebih lancar dan juga perbuatan sujud itu sendiri seolah2 memaksa darah kembali ke PFC dan secara langsung merawatnya. Tindakan fokus/khusyuk dlm sembahyang juga terbukti merawat PFC seperti dibuktikan oleh pakar meditasi barat yg menbuat kajian peranan meditasi dan PFC.

Sebab itu sembahyang yg diterima adalah sembahyang yg khusuk, bukan sembahyang yg fikiran melayang kearah duniawi, dan dalam keadaan sujud ini jugalah ketika PFC rapat kebumi manusia amat hampir kepada Allah

Surah Al Alaq 96:19 Day, heed him not: But bow down in adoration, and bring thyself the closer to Allah.!

Yg menarik mengenai otak lagi, bahagian yg menipu terletak diatas sedikit dr PFC iaitu ubun2/forelock seperti yg tertulis juga didlm surah Al-Alaq 96 :

15 Let him beware! If he desist not, We will drag him by the forelock,-
16 A lying, sinful forelock!

Bahagian otak di ubun2 ini digelar "cingulate guru" yg mana jika "overactive" akan menyebabkan manusia selalu mudah berfikir benda2 yg negatif yg juga menyebabkan manusia cenderung menipu. Ini boleh diperbaiki dgn menenangkan fikiran seperti bila kita sembahyang dgn tenang dan penuh kesyukuran, bukan sembahyang dgn terpaksa atau tidak ikhlas bukan kerana Allah.

Definasi lain untuk insanity/kegilaan adalah: Doing or thinking the same thing but expecting different result / Bertindak atau berfikir benda yg sama tetapi harapkan perkara lain.

Jika PFC kita lemah, berfikir tetapi sebenarnya lebih kepada memori, tidak hairan lah jika kita mendapat benda yg sama setiap hari.. jadi untuk mendapat sesuatu yg lain didlm hidup ini, rajin2 lah sembahyang dgn ikhlas dan khusyuk supaya bahagian otak yg berfikir hidup kembali, memboleh kan kita menjadi lebih melihat masa depan dan dgn kreativiti membenihkan idea2 yg cemerlang untuk membangunkan diri sendiri dan juga membantu umat Islam khususnya dan umat manusia yg lain amnya.

Benefits Of Vitamin C

VITAMIN C is an essential nutrient and one of the most known vitamins around. Many of us take Vitamin C supplements or drink juices rich in Vitamin C. But do you really know the significance of Vitamin C?

Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. It can repair and prevent damage to cells, heal wounds, boost immune system, and make your teeth and gums healthier.

Studies have shown Vitamin C is known for its positive effects on immunity, prevention and treatment of colds and flu. The Vitamin reaches all areas in the body on a cellular level, and serves as a primary ingredient or collagen to our connective tissue. Futhemore, it aids our body to absorb iron and natural antioxidant.

Vitamin C can help slow down the aging process by scavenging free radicals, preventing a build up of cell damaging toxins that accelerate aging. Other studies have also revealed it protects artery linings by making them more resistant to plaque formation. What this basically means is that vitamin C offers protection against heart disease, which is one of the beneficial reasons for consuming plenty of vitamin C. When you lack or don't ingest the required quantity of vitamin C, it could lead to serious diseases including scurvy,which happens when you don't ingest the required quantity of vitamin C. Scurvy manifests in the form of swollen gums, cheeks, feet, toes, fingers, and hands. Eventually bleeding occurs from wounds, loss of teeth, and opening of wounds.

You can get vitamin C naturally in fresh fruits and vegetables like, citrus juices, oranges, strawberries, broccoli, spinach, cabbages, cauliflowers, carrots, and more. You can also get it in supplement form if your daily diet lacks fresh vegetables and fruits. The amount of vitamins your body needs is determined by your age, lifestyle, gender, and weight. It also depends on several other factors and health conditions.

Consult with a nutritionist about your diet and get to know whether your body is getting the adequate proportion of vitamins. If not, you have to start taking vitamin supplements. The recommended dose is 60 to 95 miligrams daily to maintain general health. It is also important to note that the body absorbs Vitamin C through the intestines and moves through the bloodstreams into cells,and excreted through kidneys, it can reach a saturation point. So it is best to take several doses throughout the day and not one big dose at once. Excess consumption of vitamin C may lead to formation of kidney stones, aneamia, and diarrhea. Therefore take your vitamin supplements after consulting the doctor.
