Do you want to look younger, internally and externally?

Do you know that after the age of 25, we lose collagen at the rate of about one per cent a year?

Has your body started complaining about age? By the time wrinkles and fine lines appear, the body would have been ageing for a long time. Ageing is a continuous process. Research shows that the body starts wearing out at 25 years old - cell function declines, and the organs and epidermis age accordingly. Hence looking young is no assurance that the internal organs are also in tip-top condition.

Ageing weakens the immune system, making the body vulnerable to all kinds of illnesses. The best guard against ageing would thus be maintaining a healthy body early on. It begins with healthy habits such as having a balanced plant-based diet, which provides the nutrients to delay ageing.

Ageing is not the mark of the elderly,

because age is not the sole factor of ageing. Human body cells age faster when the body is constantly exposed to contaminated environments, air pollution, food additives, heavy metals, smoking, unhealthy diets, stress and irregular work hours. When cells age faster than they can regenerate, the body will be vulnerable to attacks by illnesses. What's more, the loss of collagen due to ageing of internal organs results in skin that loses elasticity and firmness.

How does Collagen deficiency affect body functions?

Sources of Collagen and the Truths

1) Collagen-based Dietary / Drink Supplements
 - Most of the collagen will be destroyed during our digestive process.

2) Collagen Injection
- Collagen injection may increase the risk of infection or immunoreaction, as there is a likelihood that it is derived from unreliable or infected sources.

3) External apply collagen
- Collagen-based skincare collagen has large molecular complex. Therefore, it is unlikely to be absorbed directly through skin application.

Oh No! No good sources of collagen? 

Yes there is!

4) High anti-oxidant and phytochemical food
- Diet abundant in antioxidant will slow down aging process, improve cell regeneration and enhance collagen production within our bodies.

Self-produced collagen is the SAFEST source of collagen!

What high anti-oxidant and phytochemical food should I take?

Ginseng Berry

Containing some of Nature's most potent antioxidants, ginseng berry has 1.4 times more antioxidants than vitamin C. 
Studies show that ginseng berry extract  can improve body function and enhance concentration by increasing blood supply to the brain. 
It can also slow down cell ageing, improve cell regeneration, relieve exhaustion and provide a calming effect. Skin becomes moisturized and supple when ginseng berry extract is applied.

Cactus Fruit

This fruit is rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals. It can protect against DNA damage, promote cell repair and renewal and stimulate phagocyte activity. 
Cactus fruit helps skin become soft and radiant by improving skin condition. 

Scientists have also discovered that cactus fruit is extremely beneficial for healing superficial and internal injuries.

Rose

According to experimental reports, the antioxidants and nutrients in rose may help prevent DNA damage, promote wound healing, and improve the skin's texture and appearance. 

Rose contains up to FIFTY times the amount of antioxidants in lemons and this high concentration of antioxidants may encourage production of collagen, reduce damage by harmful UV rays, combat colds, prevent diseases and protect against free radical damage. 

Rose is also a gentle astringent that has cleansing, purifying, softening and anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It enhances beauty by helping to lighten pigmentation for smoother fairer complexion.

Cactus

With excellent phytochemicals and antioxidants, cactus effectively prevents DNA damage, improves the structure and appearance of the skin, promotes cell renewal and helps to delay the skin's ageing process.
When applied to the skin, cactus extract's anti-inflammatory ability speeds up wound healing and improves the appearance of scars. 
In addition, long term consumption could help improve cholesterol levels, maintaining good health.


Grape Seed

Contains oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPC), a very strong antioxidant. Research indicates that grape seed extract possesses 20 times more antioxidant activity than vitamin C and 50 times more antioxidant activity than vitamin E!

Grape seed extract has great potential against diseases related to free radical damage, because it can strengthen the immune system, protect against cancers and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. 

Grape seed extract can also aid the absorption of vitamins C and E, maintain collagen, reduce skin damage by UV rays and delay visible signs of ageing for a youthful radiant appearance.


Seaweed

Research has shown that the nutrients in seaweed are especially potent for anti-ageing skincare. Seaweed has skin repair ability. It can maintain skin elasticity and firmness, prevent blood clotting and eliminate toxins fromt eh skin.

At the same time, it can help treat and relieve burns. Seaweed also prevents free radical damage and stimulates collagen synthesis and cellular turnover.

Whether eaten or applied topically, seaweed is the perfect sustenance for a healthy body and beautiful skin.

Breastfeeding and Mummy's Nutrition

It is common knowledge that breast feeding helps to improve the immunity of your kid. Kellymom has a really detailed and good write up about this.

But I would like to share some other thoughts related to breastfeeding.

1) Direct latch

A breastfeeding mummy can choose to direct latch her baby, or exclusive pump. However I read that direct latch has a slight advantage over purely pumping. It appears that the baby's saliva acts as a feedback system to the mummy's breast in order to get suitable antibodies needed to fight a disease. 

Link

Breast-feeding is especially good for babies when they become ill. It is high in antibodies. When a baby is sick, the baby's saliva stimulates the breast to make antibodies specific to the illness.

2) Mummy's nutrition

Do you commonly hear of mummies who fall sick after their little ones get well from being sick? 

When a baby is sick, a breastfeeding mum will try her best to keep nursing her kid. This is because breast milk is known to supply the baby with antibodies to fight the germs. 

In so doing, her immunity level will be lowered slightly. 

If the breastfeeding mum is also the primary caregiver of the baby, more often than not, she will lose a lot of sleep. This is because the sick baby will require a lot of constant comforting, hugging, feeding... 

When she lacks sleep, immunity is further lowered. 

With these 2 factors, it's no wonder we hear of mummies falling sick with their baby. 

As such it is important for the mummy to take nutritious food during this period of time. This will allow her to give antibodies to her child via breast milk, and also maintain her own immunity.

Food Nutrition

From my previous post, I took Millennium and Nutriact.

Millennium contains cactus as the main ingredient. The amount of antioxidants and phytochemicals are very high, hence it helps strengthen the immune system.
Millennium Gold has cordyceps added to Millennium. On top of antioxidants and phytochemicals, there are also polysaccharides.

Nutriact contains 4 different types of mushrooms and hence an array of different polysaccharides that strengthens our immune cells.

With proper food nutrition, and the convenience from Millennium and Nutriact, both mummies and baby can enjoy good health.

Infant recovered from fever in one day

I have heard stories from many mummies that their kid fall sick after vaccination jabs.

Example

From their accounts, typically their kids take a few days to get well. In the process, sometimes the mummies themselves fall sick too.

This made me worried because my daughter was due for her 3 months old vaccination on 06 Oct 2015, which includes 2 jabs.

1) 5-in-1 : Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Poliovirus, Haemophilus influenza type B.
2) Pneumococcal


In preparation for the vaccination on 06 Oct, I started to up my own immunity via taking Nutriact and Millennium daily from 04 Oct. The antibodies will be passed from me to my baby via breast milk.

The following is the chronological description of events.

06 Oct morning
As usual, my girl is very chatty and happy. She likes to move her arms and kick her legs.
She poops regularly as well.

06 Oct 11am
Took 2 vaccination jabs.
She started to become very quiet and slept on the way home from the clinic.

06 Oct 12 noon
Reached home. She drank some breast milk (bm) then fell asleep.
Temperature 36.8C.

06 Oct 4pm
She woke up. Fed her bm. Usually she will fidget and try to talk when feeding.
But this time she was quiet. Her arms and legs felt limp. I think she felt very tired and weak.
No poop.
She went back to sleep.

06 Oct 6pm
She woke up. Fed her bm. Her body felt warmer than normal.
She was still quiet and weak. Went back to sleep.
No poop.

06 Oct 9pm
She woke up. Direct latch her so that she gets the freshest bm. At the same time, my body can react by giving her the most appropriate antibodies.
No poop for 9 hours by now!!
Temperature 37.9C!!


07 Oct 2am
Woke her up because she slept for very long.
Mixed Millenium in the breast milk and bottle fed her. Millenium contains fiber from cactus plant. Millennium strengthens the immunity as well.
She went back to sleep.
No poop.

07 Oct 4am
Direct latch again.
Temperature REDUCED to 37.4C!!

07 Oct 6am
Mixed Millenium in the breast milk and bottle fed her.
Poop explosion!!! After 18 hours she pooped finally, and pooped a lot!

07 Oct 8am
She woke up smiling and started "chatting" with me again.
Mixed Millenium in the breast milk and bottle fed her. She slept again.
Temperature REDUCED to 37.1C!!


After that, she pooped normally and temperature went back to normal.
She smiles and laughs happily after getting well.

I'm very happy that with the help of Millenium and Nutriact, my 3 month old baby was able to fight fever WITHOUT ANY MEDICATION and WITHOUT SPONGING.

I did not sleep much through the night as well. I'm thankful that I did not fall sick as well.


There is no secret to good health. Just knowledge of suitable nutrition to nourish our own immune system to fight germs.

I hope to be able to share with you the science of Nutritional immunology. Feel free to contact me for a COMPLIMENTARY sharing about this science.

Weight Management Pre-post Pregnancy

Hello. This is me! Pre- and post pregnancy.

Weight loss was pretty fast and easy. There is no secret to losing weight. It is just a simple control of calories intake and increase in calories burnt. To achieve this, these are a few tips.


1) Control calories intake - Food intake
During confinement, it is important to nourish the body well. Hence, I ate a lot of rice and whatever my confinement lady cooked. After confinement, I cut down on rice intake, and occasionally switched to eating coarse rice instead. Meals continued to be home-cooked so that I can control the amount of oil and sauce used.

2) Control calories intake - Increased fibre
Fibre increases satiety and prevents absorption of oil and fats in the intestine. My source of fibre comes from I-shape lite, coarse grain rice, and increased consumption of the stem part of vegetables in daily meals.

3) Increase calories burnt - Increase metabolism and maintaining muscle mass
I take lean proteins from soy, from I-shape daily as breakfast. This helps maintain lean muscle mass. I-shape also contains American ginseng to help increase metabolism.

4) Increase calories burnt - Exercise
Since giving birth, I have not returned to the gym or restarted yoga. All I do now is taking care of my baby, carrying her and doing housework. Housework appears to be simple but actually it is very tiring.

5) Increase calories burnt - Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is one of the easiest way to burnt calories. My kid has been solely on breast milk since birth. Till date it is already about 3 months.


In addition .....

After delivery, there is a lot of excess skin at the tummy area. It is important for the body to have sufficient collagen so that the skin shrinks beautifully. Many collagen products in the market are from animal source. Some are chemically created. There is no guarantee whether the products are compatible with breastfeeding.

As such, I chose to take Oxyginberry capsules. It contains 6 wholesome organic fruits very high amounts of antioxidants and phytochemicals. This triggers the body to produce collagen by herself.

Since it is wholesome, without added chemicals or added preservatives, it is very safe for consumption during breastfeeding.

Since also the body can produce collagen by herself, excess skin at the tummy area can shrink nicely back to shape. Not to mention, there are no stretch marks as well!
