How Antioxidant helps in disease prevention incuding cancer

Antioxidant is the enemy of free radicals.



It forms a protection layer to prevent cells from being damaged. These are the compounds that can inhibit oxidative stress.



Wholesome plant definitely contains antioxidant, since antioxidant gives the fruits/vege colours and aroma. That's why we need variety of colours and types.



Without antioxidant, the protection layer is removed, and bare cells are easily being mutated/damaged. Look at picture above.



However, please be aware that lots of people are taking antioxidant from pills, e.g. vitamin/multi vitamins. When antioxidant is prepared chemically, or extracted from a wholesome food, it doesn't work the same anymore.



Further, do check out following on where does vitamins come form, and what's the side effects of taking vitamin supplements.

How Phytochemicals help in diseases prevention including Cancer

Phytochemicals - These are commonly found in all fruits and vegetables and that is the main reason why we have to take more fruits and vegetables. The best doctor in the world, which is our immune system needs phytochemical, anti-oxidant and polysaccharide.

 

Phytochemicals are chemicals that are produced by plants to help them from UV free radical damages. These beneficial chemicals block various hormone actions and metabolic pathways that are associated with the development of cancer.

 

Many phytochemicals have been shown to provide protection against malignant cell growth, look at few examples:

• 
  Sulforaphane, a phytochemical exists in the cruciferous vegetables can activate the Phase II enzymes in our body to destroy cancer causing substances.
  
  
  




• 
  Genistein, a phytochemical exists in Soy prevents the growth and spreading of tumours by cutting off their oxygen and nutrients supplies from capillary blood vessels.
  
  
  




• 
  Indole-3, a phytochemical exists in broccoli and berries helps to break down cancer causing estrogen into harmless form.
  
  
  




• 
  and many more..
  
  
  

Phytochemicals is very beneficial when it's coming through wholesome food source, as it doesn't cause any side effects. Unfortunately the same can't be said for chemically processed phytochemical supplement, like Genistein pill which may easily cause burden to liver and kidney as our body needs to perform additional steps to recognise them.

 

Orange contains 100+ types of phytochemicals, Aloe Vera contains about 300+ types, and cactus contains up to 10,000 types of phytochemicals. Given a choice, cactus will be very beneficial if we are able to take it into our diet.

 

I will share more on my diet to make my stay healthy and stay fit.

What is Nutritional Immunology?

Nutritional Immunology (NI) is founded by Dr Jau Fei Chen, world outstanding Chinese, same as Mr. Lee Kah Sing, but she represents medical science. Her remarkable background is available here

Nutritional Immunology studies the link between Nutrition and Immune System. In the past when we talk about Nutrition, we often focuses on vitamin supplements, protein, drinking cow's milk, popping calcium/iron pills etc. But the Nutritional Immunology focuses on taking wholesome fruits and vegetables in strengthening our immune system, thus preventing diseases.



Since 29 years ago, Nutritional Immunology has been advocating taking natural, wholesome plant foods. It studies further on how Phytochemical, Antioxidant and Polysaccharides helps in our immune system, thus we can prevent all diseases.



These 3 nutrients can be found only in wholesome fruits and vegetables. Have a look at following Channel News Asia interview on what's Nutritional Immunology, and how it can help to prevent all diseases.

Today, we can't lack of food, but we are more concern on the quality of food we put into our mouth, do you agree?

To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear

How I came to know Nutritional Immunology.

I believe when we fall sick, we may start to ask around our friends and relatives to get the contact of best specialist, or best Chinese physician. I was one of them too.



I came from Investment banking background. Due to high stress, irregular meal hour and round the clock meetings with colleagues from other regions, I developed in serious insomnia, constant flu and cough, acidic stomach and sinusitis. I remember there was a period whereby I took cab back home from office about 1am-2am, leaving office the same time as UK colleagues, and the night shift cab uncle can remember me, they even offer to fetch me on regular basis!



Subsequently I started to look around for psychiatrist to address my insomnia. At the same time I was on few sleeping pills plus anti-depressant. Name a few - Xanax, Lorazepam. I can't imagine that I had been taking them for more than 1 year!



Also, sinusitis is another problem that bothering me. I believe some people working in office may encounter this. 



Same as lots of people, I been visiting one specialist after another, one TCM after another. The medicine given is able to stop my symptoms, but when I was off from the medicine, the problem back again.



Until one fine day when my friend share with me about Nutritional Immunology, I then know that actually we are all born with best doctor in the world, which is our immune system.



99% of the diseases occur due to the malfunction of immune system, being too strong, too weak, or hyperactive.



And I know I need to nourish my immune system on day to day basis so that it will be balanced. The very first Nutritional Immunology Food that I was taking is Oxyginberry!
