Ramuan Penangkal Flu

Health is a choice. Learn how to choose it.

Hari ini saya akan sedikit sok menjadi ahli kesehatan. 

Kemarin saya ngobrol di Line dengan food blogger and photographer dari Surabaya, Jie, yang ternyata lagi ngga enak badan. Flu-ish alias deman-demam kayak mau flu gitu.

Saya kasih beberapa resep "ramuan-ramuan" andalan keluarga saya, yang sudah diuji keampuhannya. Dan ternyata, Jie belum pernah dengar tips ini sebelumnya.

Keluarga saya adalah keluarga yang tidak suka minum obat. Kalau sakit, obatnya tidur, minum air putih yang banyak, dan membuat ramuan penangkal flu ini. 

Buat kalian yang lagi flu atau merasa ngga enak badan, mungkin bisa dicoba resep ramuan-ramuan berikut ini:

1. Jahe coklat
Minuman ini sangat ampuh untuk yang lagi pilek, demam, atau masuk angin. Di Jawa Tengah, khususnya di Salatiga, wedang jahe coklat ini adalah minuman wajib di warung-warung pinggir jalan. Yang lebih menarik, minuman ini mirip dengan minuman dari Spanyol/Mexico, chocolate and red pepper. Fungsinya sama, untuk menyembuhkan flu dan demam. 

Resep:
Versi original: kupas dan keprek jahe muda, masak dengan air matang sampai airnya menyusut. Tambahkan gula jika perlu. Saring dan tambahkan coklat bubuk cacao (yang biasanya buat bikin kue). Aduk dan nikmati.

Versi instan tapi mantep: jahe wangi instan + geprekan jahe muda + coklat bubuk cacao

Versi super instan tapi kurang ampuh: jahe wangi instan + coklat bubuk instan (yang paling cocok Hot Cacao Delfi)

2. Lemon dan madu
Lemon adalah obat flu yg mujarab juga. Minuman ini cocok untuk penderita flu dan batuk, karena jahe kurang cocok untuk penderita batuk. Jahe cenderung bikin tenggorokan gatal. Ketika saya di Eropa, hampir semua obat flu andalan ketika sakit flu sabya tidak kunjung sembuh, mengandung lemon. Resepnya, perasan air lemon, air hangat dan madu. 

3. Garlic and black pepper
Bawang putih dan merica hitam adalah antibiotik alami. Temen mama saya, orang India, kalau flu dia akan makan merica hitam. Yup, biji merica hitam akan dikunyah-kunyah.Saya alirannya masih lebih normal. Kalau flu, selain jahe coklat atau lemon madu, saya akan membuat sop ayam atau makanan berkuah lainnya dengan menambahkan bawang putih dan merica hitam yang banyak! 

Bahan-bahan di atas ini juga punya manfaat lain, seperti jahe yang juga baik untuk mengurangi sakit perut, madu untuk panas dalam dan sakit tenggorokan, lemon untuk menghilangkan sakit maag, dan coklat untuk dimakan ketika sedang galau atau sedih :)

Buat yang lagi flu, monggo langsung dicoba. Semoga berguna. 

Buat yang lagi flu dan suka tantangan, coba resep obat flu alami, resep dari teman saya orang Polandia: susu, madu, jahe, dan bawang putih. Sampai saat ini saya masih belum berani nyobain. Ngga bisa bayangin minum susu rasa bawang putih.

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee
