Dapatkah Aku Belayar Mencari Penawar Sepi

Dapatkah Aku Belayar Mencari Penawar Sepi

Hati ku terluka kerinduan…
Mencari wajah disebalik mata…
Hati ku kusut kesepian…
Tanpa cinta dari Dia…

Dapatkah aku merindui Mu…
Dalam takbir Al-Quran…
Dapatkah aku mencintai Mu…
Dalam tirai perjalanan…

Telah ku teroka segala Rahsia…
Walau mendung menunjuk hampa…
Telah ku menoktahkan dalam lena…
Walau mentari muncul bahagia…

Dapatkah aku memburu Mu…
Dalam segala kepahitan mengundang…
Dapatkah aku melihat Mu…
Dalam segala kekusutan mendatang…

Ke mana harus ku tuju…
Segala rindu mencengkam jiwa…
Ke mana harus ku mengadu…
Segala cinta didalam jiwa…

Dapatkah aku memeluk Mu…
Dalam lena tidur ku…
Dapatkah aku sembah Mu…
Dalam sujud diatas sejadah ku…

Dimana kewujudan diri Mu…
Tunjukkan kepada hamba Mu ini…
Dimana tempat tepat Mu…

Akan ku cari wajah Mu…
Walaupun ku mati dalam penglihatan ini…
Kerana diriMu…
Aku belayar mencari penawar sepi…

What Soft Drinks are Doing to Your Body

Soda, pop, cola, soft drink — whatever you call it, it is one of the worst beverages that you could be drinking for your health. As the debate for whether to put a tax on the sale of soft drinks continues, you should know how they affect your body so that you can make an informed choice on your own.

Soft drinks are hard on your health

Soft drinks contain little to no vitamins or other essential nutrients. However, it is what they do contain that is the problem: caffeine, carbonation, simple sugars — or worse, sugar substitutes — and often food additives such as artificial coloring, flavoring, and preservatives.

A lot of research has found that consumption of soft drinks in high quantity, especially by children, is responsible for many health problems that include tooth decay, nutritional depletion, obesity, type-2 diabetes, and heart disease.

Skip the soda and go for:

• Fresh water

Water is a vital beverage for good health. Each and every cell needs water to perform its essential functions. Since studies show that tap water is filled with contaminants, antibiotics, and a number of other unhealthy substances, consider investing in a quality carbon-based filter for your tap water.

On the go? Try using a stainless steel thermos or glass bottle, filled with filtered water. Enhance the flavor of your water with a refreshing infusion of basil, mint leaves, and a drop of honey.

• Fruit Juice

If you are a juice drinker, try watering down your juice to cut back on the sugar content. Buy a jar of organic 100% juice, especially cranberry, acai, pomegranate, and then dilute three parts filtered water to one part juice. You will get a subtle sweet taste and the benefit of antioxidants. After a couple of weeks, you will no longer miss the sweetness of sugary concentrated juices.

• Tea

Tea gently lifts your energy and has numerous health benefits. Black, green, white, and oolong teas all contain antioxidant polyphenols. In fact, tea ranks as high or higher than many fruits and vegetables on the ORAC scale, the score that measures antioxidant potential of plant-based foods.

Herbal tea does not have the same antioxidant properties, though it is still a great beverage choice with other health benefits, such as inducing calming and relaxing effects. If tea doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth, try adding cinnamon or a little honey, which has important health benefits that refined sugar lacks.
