Importance of Protein

Earlier, I shared about starting our day with Healthy Breakfast 

In fact, after understanding more, It's very important for our breakfast to incorporate with 

• High Protein
• High Fiber
• High Antioxidant

Breakfast is like a break from overnight fasting, if we are indulging with high fats or oil, it will burden our body. 

Why Protein is so important to our body? It's actually essential component for our cell regeneration and maintenance. 

How importance is protein to our day to day surviving

How do we know if we are lack of protein?

• A changes in hair thickness and texture
• Low energy levels and fatigue
• Poor Concentration
• Muscle, bone and joint pain
• Slow wound healing
• Lower immunity, failing sick more easily
• Nail changes
• Dry and flaky Skin
• Accumulation of fluid

So, how much protein do we need?

The US Academy of Nutrition and Diabetic recommends that Healthy adults should consume about 0.8gram of protein per KG of body weight each day.

Athletes should consume about 1.2-2.0 grams of protein per kg of body weight. 

Say if we are about 50kg, we need 0.8g x 50 KG of protein each day, that's 40g of protein each day to support our body. 

So it's important to start our day with high protein diet. For me, I opted for SoyPro as my safe convenience. 

Let me know if you would like to find out more :)

Is TCM as safe as you think?

Another news about Traditional Chinese Medicine

Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/across-asia-liver-cancer-is-linked-to-herbal-remedies-study

The research suggest a stronger measures are needed to prevent people from consuming chemicals called Aristolochic Acids (AA), which are derived from woody vines of the aristolochia plant family. 

AA components can be found in some traditional Chinese medicine that are given during childbirth, to prevent parasites and promote healing. 

Where you can see Aristolochic Acids?

While many would prefer TCM, however as a consumer, among Plant Food vs Traditional Chinese Medicine, which would be safer in longer run?

Tips in Selecting Healthy Cooking Oil

As a consumer, how should we choose a healthy cooking oil? 



The biggest concern now is, most oil are high in Omega 6, causing inflammation. Which leads to most diseases

So How to choose a healthy cooking oil? 



Main Criteria to look at



1. Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio

2. Smoke Point

What are some misconception that we need to take note for selecting a healthy cooking oil?

Let's listen from Dr Chen in her sharing

I have made a summaries on misconception from her sharing, you can look at the snapshot here. You can listen to the video to understand more!

1. Some oil are being labelled that it has went through refinery process to increase the smoke point

Is it really true? 

2. Can we reuse the cooking oil? 

Most food that we are taking outside are mostly cooked with re-used cooking oil to save cost. 

3. When you are deep frying chicken with cooking oil at home, you see bubble in the oil after a while. 

Why the cooking oil in fast food chain never get bubbled although they deep frying food all day long? 

4. Why the chicken/food that you fried at home turned brown very soon, yet the french fries/chicken at restaurant never get golden brown when leaving there? 

Sodium acid pyrophosphate is being added

5. Will oil spoil? Especially when we fried chicken (any meat)

6. Why the fast food oil can be used for more than few days to 1 week and the oil never spoilt? 

This preservatives is being added, a component in the lighter!!

Side effects of TBHQ?

Although the amount is lesser than the regulated amount. However, because of the re-using of the oil, it gets concentrated. 

Additional tip to Choosing cooking oil

What about Coconut oil? 

Let's look at the Straits Times article published earlier. 

http://immunesuperfood.blogspot.sg/2016/10/coconut-oil-is-not-superfood-you-think.html

The best oil in the market is made from Macademia, and Perilla with the criteria on smoke point and omega ratio. 

For me I choose the E.Excel Blended cooking oil, with the mix of Macademia and Perilla seed for best convenience, with no preservatives and chemically added. 

Irregardless of which oil, as long as they are oil they are high in calorie. Any teaspoon of any types of oil contains 120 calorie!

Check out more about the promotion on the cooking oil

The Health Advocates

Dr Chen was being featured in Business Time, CEO Conversation 

"As Dr Chen explains, the company's health food products are made from wholesome plant foods readily available in the supermarket. "What we provide is convenience for people too busy to prepare a wide variety of fruits and vegetables daily," she says.

"E. Excel's nutritional immunology advocates prevention over cure. By improving our diet with a wide variety of health-boosting fruits and vegetables found in the supermarket, and adopting a healthy lifestyle, we can strengthen our immune system and reduce the risk of disease," Dr Chen says."

But the initial going was tough. At that time, people were more receptive towards man-made supplements instead of natural foods. "People wanted secret, ancient formulas. And they thought anything chemical was better, preferring to take a vitamin C pill instead of eating an orange."

Not giving in to popular sentiment, she stuck to her original philosophy that whole foods are the way to go. "We know whole foods are good for people, and that gave us the strength to continue," she says.

I am glad to partner with Dr Chen, a leader who always do the right things, than doing things right.

Never take health for granted

Staying healthy is a daily habit

"Many illness can only be detected at later stages"

"Why the term early-stage cancer is so misleading"

"Diseases doesn't happen overnight, becoming healthy doesn't happen overnight either"

"Keeping healthy doesn't simply mean fighting off disease"

"Keeping healthy starts small"

"Nutrition doesn't work overnight, it's an ongoing process, which needs to be practiced everyday for maximum benefits"

"Suddenly starting to focus on nutrition when you are already sick is always too late"

Traditional Chinese Medicine vs Western Medicine vs Food

Last Friday a friend shared with me about Chinese medicine, which is usually claimed to be safer and lesser side effects. 

This Chinese medicine is very commonly recommended when a person is having flu, fever and fever. 

Thankfully equipping with the Nutritional Immunology, instead of looking at the function of the medicine, first thing that I look at is the labels. 

Some of you probably seen this before as it's available at over the counter. 

First thing that I saw in the label is Ephedrae. 

Often we thought since it's plant food, it must be safe. 

However, Natural isn't Always Safe

For example, Ephedrae. 

Ephedrae is a common plant exists in weight loss products. FDA actually banns the use of the Ephedrae in dietary supplement. 

However, why it appears in medicine for flu, cough and fever? 

It turns out that it's being used in medicine because of it's ability to induce sweating!

In Harvard Health, 

• "In 2003, FDA announced it was banning the sale of products containing ephedra."

• "It claims for promoting weight loss as well as for increasing energy and alertness"

• "Side effects of herb include heart palpitations, nausea, and vomiting. More than 800 dangerous reactions have been reported, among them, heart attacks, strokes, seizures, and sudden death"

• "According to Annals of Internal Medicine, ephedra products make up only 1% of herbal supplement sales in US, but they are responsible for 62% of herbal related reports to poison control centers"

Natural is not always safe. 

If it's safe, it should be able to be consumed on daily basis. 

The question that I will always ask is that, is pregnant lady, kids or infant, elder safe to consumer the products? 

In the Nutritional Immunology, we know We have best doctor within us, which is our Immune System

Among TCM, Western Medicine and Food, which do you think will nourish our Immune System the most?
