The determination to keep up this resolution, nevertheless, tends to fade once January has passed and will likely not return until the middle of the year.

It can become one of the choices for replacing meat, the main protein source of humans. Tech-food start-up Impossible Foods is already using it to add a ‘meaty’ quality to their plant-based burger. The public has long been interested in food alternatives for meat protein, and embraced ingredients such as tofu, tempeh and quinoa. Another alternative protein that is being researched is In Vitro Meat, which is grown in cell cultures outside of animals. ในปี 2018 นี้ คนจะเริ่มมองหาแหล่งโปรตีนอื่น นอกเหนือจากที่บริโภคๆ กันอยู่มากขึ้น ไม่ว่า จะเป็นเนื้อสัตว์ทางเลือกอย่าง In Vitro Meat ที่ได้จากการเพาะเลี้ยงในห้องแลป หรือ Heme ซึ่ง Impossible Food สตาร์ทอัพใน Silicon Valley ก�าลังพยายามสังเคราะห์ขึ้นจากธาตุเหล็ก ในเนื้อสัตว์อยู่ รวมถึงว่าบางคนอาจจะโบกมือลา เนื้อสัตว์ ไปใช้โปรตีนจากพืชอย่างเต้าหู้หรือ ควินัวแทน 1 ST HUMAN TRIAL USING CRISPR The first human testing for the gene-editing CRISPR tool will start soon in the U.S.A. Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania say they will use CRISPR, a DNA-cutting technique, in a bid to battle deadly cancers for modifying human immune cells so they become expert cancer-killers. The study will enrol up to 18 patients fighting three different types of cancer – multiple myeloma, sarcoma, and melanoma. During the study, doctors will remove human blood cells, modify them with CRISPR in the lab and then infuse them back into the patients. Gene-editing is a technique seen as holding enormous promise for managing diseases that have long been intractable to a cure, such as cancer. วงการแพทย์ของสหรัฐฯ จะทดลองตัดต่อยีน มนุษย์ด้วยเทคนิค CRISPR เพื่อหาวิธี จัดการกับโรคมะเร็งเป็นครั้งแรก เป้าหมาย หลักๆ เลยคือ ปรับแต่งเซลล์ภูมิคุ้มกันให้ ท�างานได้อย่างแข็งแรงมากขึ้น เพื่อลด ความเสี่ยงในการเกิดมะเร็งขึ้นในร่างกาย การทดสอบครั้งนี้จะท�ากับคนไข้ 18 ราย ที่เป็นโรคมะเร็งเม็ดเลือดขาว มะเร็งผิวหนัง และมะเร็งซาร์โคมาที่เกี่ยวข้องกับเซลล์ เนื้อเยื่อ โดยแพทย์จะน�ายีนที่ไม่ต้องการออก มาจากร่างกาย ก่อนที่จะฉีดยีนที่ได้รับการ ปรับแต่งด้วยวิธีการพิเศษเข้าไปใหม่ นับ เป็นการทดลองที่ช่วยสร้างความหวังในการที่ มนุษย์จะสามารถเอาชนะโรคร้ายได้อีกด้วย/ ISSUE_15 16 YOUR HEALTHY SOUL Lastest shopping guide If you're trying to live a healthier lifestyle - whether by eating well or by getting a good night's sleep - how can you put your best foot forward?

(3) Riceberry Herbal Drink Rice is such a common food staple that we may forget how unbelievably nutritious those small grains are. Especially rich in vitamin B complex, consuming rice regularly will help to maintain a stable nervous system and improve cardiovascular health. It is also rich in minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, folic acid and selenium. Apart from its nutritional benefits, rice is, moreover, a great source of energy that will keep your body functioning well for many hours. Different strains of rice provide different nutritional benefits, as well as different tastes and textures. If you could enjoy many strains of rice in one meal, that would be ideal for both your appetite Meena Rice Based Cuisine 13/5 Moo 2, San Klang, San Kamphaeng, Chiang Mai 50130 T: +66 (0) 87 177 0523 F: www.facebook.com/meena.rice.based and health! If you find yourself in Chiang Mai, you can do this. Drive a few minutes away from the beautiful city centre and you will find Meena Rice Based Cuisine, which will impress you with its philosophy of promoting both sound mind and body. At the restaurant’s wooden entrance, you will feel tranquillity immediately settle on you from the shady trees and quiet ambience. As you stroll along the pond with a breeze gently flowing around you and the faint sound of flowing water, it will be impossible not to surrender to serenity. The name of this amicable eatery itself explains the chef’s philosophy; every dish is rice-based. The menu consists of 50 home-cooked dishes inspired by recipes from all over Thailand, and the chef’s creativity and playful twists will delight you. The contrasts in flavour and texture of the various rice types will surprise you, and the presentation of each dish will please your eye. After being seated at your table inside the lovely wooden house, it won’t be long before your selected dishes arrive. A side order of rice here is not plain, of course, but a colourful triangle of a combination of different rices. Deep-Fried Prawns with Rice Crumbs (THB 120) is even crispier than those covered with breadcrumbs, and gets along very well with its sweet dipping sauce. The Stewed Honey Pork Ribs with Riceberry (THB 180) is startlingly tender and a definite must-try. Lanna-Style Multigrain Chilli Dip (THB 150) is a mouth-watering healthy choice for lovers of fresh greens, and the chewy rice grains added to the chilli dip add another wonderful texture to it. Another not-to-be-missed dish is Roasted Sticky Rice with Garlic Pork (THB 120), a pairing that was made in food heaven! All dishes are beautifully presented with the vivid colours of seasonal edible flowers and fruits, and you should try these for new taste sensations. In addition to the food, the drinks here are also rice-based, and you can choose your preferred level of sweetness for most of them. The eatery’s signature Riceberry Herbal Drink (THB 39) will astonish you with its unbelievable natural fragrance. Meena Rice Based Cuisine Dining was conceptualised from a strong appreciation for rice by its owner, who owns his own rice fields and is, naturally, the main source of the main ingredient here. Other ingredients, such as proteins and home- grown vegetables, are mostly sourced from nearby local communities, so dining here is also a way to support those. Once you are here, take some time in your life to soak up the benefits of tranquillity, and the benefits in each and every grain of rice. 1 2 RICE FOR LIFE 3Next >
