Preventing Broncitis with Nutritional Immunology

Lately has been seeing a lot of story about bronchitis, and for the acute case it could be deadly.



Let's understand more about bronchitis.



It's a inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, which usually coming into either acute form or chronic form.



Acute bronchitis - 90% of them are due to virus infection, only 10% of them are caused by bacteria infection.



Chronic bronchitis - Chronic bronchitis usually develops due to recurrent injury to the airways caused by inhaled irritants, e.g. pollutants or smoking.



Most of the case for kids, the bronchitis occurs is acute one. But do you know how to differentiate whether it's due to bacteria or virus?



Bacteria - more complex organisms. If it's bacteria infection, the mucous we are seeing is green/yellowish, in color.



Virus - non living. If it's virus infection, the mucous we are seeing is transparent in color.



Next, mother always ask. I will get doctor to give me antibiotic and that will resolve the problem. Isn't it the case??



Antibiotic doesn't kill virus











































For the case of bronchitis, do take note if it's due to virus or bacteria infection and leading to inflammation.



Do take note on the side effects of the medication used for bronchitis also.

The US FDA has warned against misuse of antibiotics, stating that "bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections are remarkably resilient and can develop ways to survive the drugs meant to kill or weaken them. This antibiotic resistance is due largely to the increasing use of antibiotics."



Some NSAIDS (non steroid anti inflammatory drug are used to stop the inflammation too.

There is nothing better than our own Immune System to fight against the root cause that cause the bronchitis and stop the inflammation.

So how to let our B cells to fight against those invaders then??



Best is to nourish our immune system with more phytochemicals, antioxidants and polysaccharides.

Are you still taking vitamin supplements? Do take note of side effects

Do take note of the side effects of taking vitamin supplement. 

Most of the time, vitamin supplements are chemically processed or chemically extracted, thus causing a lot of side effects. E.g eating more vitamin A leads to the risk of having osteoporosis, and there's a limit on the amount that we can take on daily basic. 

However, if we are taking the vitamin A from wholesome fruits and vegetable, for example carrot. It doesn't matter how many carrot that we are taking, it will not lead to side effects!

Do check out following article from Straight Time Newspaper. 

Check out where does vitamins supplement come from also, you may be surprise that we are taking lots of vitamin by-product such as coal and tar that's made from petroleum when making vitamins

Are you into Cold Pressed Juice Cleanse also?

Saw a very interesting article on Cold Pressed Juice Cleanse, that's getting very popular recently. Seems like it's selling everyday like hot cake.



- The 18 bottles required in 3 day cleanse, each containing 500ml of juice, typically cost around $240-$300 or more, depending on which retailer you buy from and whether organic ingredients are used



- A 300ml bottle of organic juice will set you back by $9.80 while a 500ml bottle costs $16.30 (usually single ingredient)



- But a juice only diet is devoid of valuable dietary fiber, which normalises bowel movement and helps to control blood sugar levels.





What about the ingredients like this, Organic and Non-GMO. How much do you think it will be?



Cactus, Cactus Fruits, Ginseng Berry, Rose, Seaweed and Grape Seed



If I tell you it's $7.8 per day, yet with dietary fiber, it's not only for cleanse, but it enhance the ability for our immune system to Defense, Cleanse and Repair, isn't it better?

Does Panadol really kills the bacteria or viruses?

Message is clear



1. Fever is a normal immune reason whereby immune system is hard at work

2. Taking cold medicine suppress symptoms instead of killing the viruses/bacteria causing the infection

3. Best way is to nourish our immune system further so that it's able to destroy invaders.



Same thing applied for cough syrups also

How to different a healthy or bad oil?

Saw a very interesting article on the cooking oil.



http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/health/story/5-cooking-oils-whats-healthy-and-what-isnt-20140714



monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat,  saturated fat



Does these term sounds familiar? So what to look for in a oil?



On top of the type of the fat, we do have to take look at the Omega 3 and Omega 6 ratio. The lower the Omega 6:Omega 3 ratio the better, as Omega 6 is the factor that leads to inflammation.



Out of all, if taking about lowering cholesterol and preventing cardio diseases, macadamia oil is so far the best, with the ratio of 1:1!
