Porridge with O-SEED - to give more Omega-3 for kids

Ever since my girl started taking porridge, as a parent, it comes naturally of how i can make my girl's meal more nutritious. 

Omega-3 has been well-known for brain development. 

Instead of giving fish oil, i used Kiwi Seed and Chia Seed form E.Excel wholesome food product O-SEED for the below reasons:

  • Very rich in Plant-based Omega 3, ALA
  • No fishy taste
  • No contamination 
  • No added preservatives or additives 

So, I have been giving my girl porridge with added O-SEED inside.


 
How a simple porridge with carrot turned out to be a nutritious one after adding O-SEED! =) 

She finished the serving happily! =)  


  • How to mix OSeed into the porridge? 


I made a video on YouTube:


I don't use fish oil omega 3 because:


  • fish oil may cause side effects such as indigestion, heartburn, abdominal bloating and unsafe due to ocean contamination. 


More info:

I don't use flaxseed also as flaxseed has some safety concern:


  • mainly to the presence of toxic cyanogenic compounds that yield a weak, highly poisonous acid. 
  • flax seed contains trypsin inhibitors and a vitamin B6 antagonist.
  • The U.S. National Library of Medicine recommends avoiding flax seed during pregnancy and breast-feeding as flax seed can act like the hormone estrogen
  • The effect of flax seed on breast-fed infants is unknown at this time.
  •  Animal studies have shown the negative effects eating flax has on pregnancy and reproductive development. Flax seed might slow clotting. This raises the concern that it could increase the risk of bleeding in people with bleeding disorders.

All Work and No Play - what impact to your health and life?


"80 percent of professionals ar working longer than their contractual hours...72 percent of respondents still tune into work when they are out of the office, continuing to work from home or on mobile device."

"You fear for the consequences if you don't stay attached to it without a break. You may justify this to yourself by harbouring irrational thoughts of being indispensable at  work. In effect, Work begins to manage you rather than you managing your work."

"Some people do not feel they can take an annual vacation, in part out of fear that their workload will be overwhelming when they return."

"Workaholism will have adverse effects on your health and life."
- extracted from the above article 

I think this work-life balance issue worth us to take note also. 
Many of times we are caught in the rat race, family commitment to make more money, inflation pressure, expensive living standard etc... that we have no choice but to engage into this kind of work life. Otherwise we may be dropped out due to stiff competition. 

But this will greatly affect our health due to work stress, irregular meals, unbalanced diet and lack of exercise and sleeping. 

Hence, Making a right choice is more important than working hard. When you have choose the right direction, then only you put on your hard work, the results will be awesome! 

When we have a choice to choose our desired lifestyle, which one will you choose?

Stressed work life with more money but lacking of time and health to enjoy the fruits of success?

OR 

Ultimate Freedom Lifestyle which consists of Financial Freedom (continuous cash flow even when you retire), Time Freedom and Health freedom (free of diseases)?

The choice is on your hand. Make your life meaningful and fruitful by making the right choice to lead the lifestyle that you desire.

Antibiotic Overuse Putting Babies in Danger

Another article that shows the misuse of antibiotics created a hyper-virulen strain of gem / multi-resistant bacteria (SUPERBUG)!



"Streptococcus agalactiae is a common bacterium that colonises the intestines or urinary genital tract...But this bacterium can be dangerous to newborn if they are exposed to it through infected fluids during delivery, be it vaginal or Caesarean section."

"Today, multi-resistant bacteria is a major problem,  so this study shows the need to take into account the impact from all prescribed antibiotics."

How to fight bacteria effectively without using antibiotics?  
The answer is YES. Our body has got the best doctor in the world which kills bacteria or viruses for us when it is healthy. It is the immune system.

Misuse of Antibiotics caused Superbug

An article that shared on HOW TO BEAT SUPERBUGS?



"85% of Sore throat were from viral infection and patients did not need antibiotics."

Me: Indeed, antibiotics are not helpful in viral infection.

"Doctors need to be judicious in giving antibiotics and use clinical tools such as the Centor score to gauge whether patients have a bacterial sore throat." 

"If patient A loaded with normal bacteria and a small amount of resistant bacteria (superbug) as a result of previous history of overusing antibiotics, came in and was given regular antibiotics for the normal bacteria, he might be well for a while as the antibiotics would kill the normal bacteria. 
However, the superbug would continue to replicate and he would become ill again with the infection driven by the superbug."

Me: I totally agreed. If the person keeps falling ill with the same illness, it means that there are superbugs in the body due to overuse of antibiotics previously. 

"Dr Lee said those in contact with the patient could be infected by the superbug and if they had a weak immune system and other medical problems, he or she might die or require a long hospital stay.
He said doctors would then have to use stronger drugs such as carbopenems or polymixin as a result of antibiotic resistance but these drugs could impair some organs."

Me: Hence, all of us especially being parents, we need to be a wise consumer, and be responsible on our own health and our kids' health, not to hand it to doctors. 

Building your immune system to do prevention / fight with bacteria and virus 

OR 

taking medication when falling sick? 

Which one would you choose?

    Are you looking for Collagen Product?

    COLLAGEN MYTH




    Let me do a summary of the above newspaper article, which contrary to many people's belief:
    • Oral Supplement is NOT effective, 
    • Collagen break down (result in ageing) in our body is due to free radical attack. In other words, ageing is caused by free radical attack.
    • Cannot be absorbed by skin as the collagen molecules are too large.
    • Collagen is usually derived from cows and can result in allergic reaction.
    • Eating more fruits and vegetables rich in ANTIOXIDANT can help by removing free radical.

    The main objective of many people are looking for collagen products in the market is to slow down ageing

    We have also understood that ageing is actually caused by free radical attack. 


    Hence, the best way to slow down ageing is to take Superfoods that enhance self-production of collagen in our body.  



    • What super foods that enhance self-production of collagen?

    Quote of the day!

    I came across this quote which i find very insightful and meaningful. Would like to share with all here. 

    People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centred - love them anyway. 

    If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives - do good anyway. 

    If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies - succeed anyway. 

    The good you do today will perhaps be forgotten tomorrow - do good anyway. 

    Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable - be honest and frank anyway. 

    The biggest man with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest man with the smallest mind - think big anyway. 

    People favour underdogs but follow only hot dogs - fight for a few underdogs anyway. 

    What yo spend years building may be destroyed overnight - build anyway. 

    People really need help but may attack you if you help them - help them anyway. 

    Give the world the best that you have and you will get kicked in the teeth - give the world the best that you have anyway. 

    If better is possible, then good is not enough. 

    - "Paradoxical Commandments of Leadership"

    Artificial Sweeteners Boost Diabetes risk




    PARIS: Promoted as an aid to good health, artificial sweeteners may in fact be boosting diabetes risk, said a study on Wednesday (Sep 17) that urged a rethink of their widespread use and endorsement.

    Also called non-calorific artificial sweeteners, or NAS, the additives are found in diet sodas, cereals and desserts - a huge market for people worried about weight gain and sugar intake.

    Some experts recommend NAS for people with Type 2 diabetes, a disease that has attained pandemic proportions, and for a pre-diabetic condition called glucose intolerance, with elevated blood-sugar levels.

    After leaving a sensation of sweetness on the tongue, NAS molecules pass through the intestinal tract without being absorbed. This explains why, unlike sugar, they add negligibly, if at all, to the calorie count.

    But scientists reported in the journal Nature that experiments on lab mice and a small group of humans found NAS disrupted the makeup and function of gut bacteria, and actually hastened glucose intolerance.

    "Artificial sweeteners were extensively introduced into our diets with the intention of reducing caloric intake and normalising blood glucose levels without compromising the human 'sweet tooth'," the paper said.

    "Our findings suggest that NAS may have directly contributed to enhancing the exact epidemic that they themselves were intended to fight," it said bluntly.

    Scientists led by Eran Elinav and Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel added three commonly-used types of NAS - aspartame, sucralose or saccharin - to the drinking water of mice in body-size appropriate doses equivalent to recommended maximum human intake.

    Those rodents given NAS developed glucose intolerance, whereas mice that drank only water, or water with sugar, did not.

    Next, the researchers transplanted faeces from NAS-fed and glucose-fed mice into rodents bred to have no gut bacteria of their own.

    The blood-glucose levels of the NAS transplant recipients rose sharply, the team found - and their gut bacteria worked harder than the other group's at extracting glucose from nutrients.

    The next step was to apply these insights to humans. Pouring over questionnaires and health data from 381 non-diabetic people, the team found a "significant" link between glucose intolerance and higher NAS consumption.

    Finally, the researchers placed seven volunteers who did not normally use NAS on a seven-day regimen that included the maximum sweetener intake recommended by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    Within five to seven days, four developed elevated blood-glucose levels and an altered gut bacteria mix, apparently mirroring the effect in mice.

    DEMAND FOR A REVIEW

    Past investigations into NAS have delivered mixed results. Some showed benefits in weight loss and glucose tolerance, while others suggested the opposite.

    The picture is muddied by the fact that many NAS consumers are people who already have diabetes or are prone to it.

    The new experiments are a red flag, the team said. "This calls for a reassessment of today's massive, unsupervised consumption of these substances," said Elinav.

    Independent commentators praised the work for its innovation, but warned against overreaction. The human trial involved just seven people over a week, and wider and longer trials are needed to draw any firm conclusion, they said.

    "Human diets are complex, consisting of many foods, the consumption of which can vary in amounts, and over time," warned John Menzies of the Centre for Integrative Physiology at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

    "This research raises caution that NAS may not represent the 'innocent magic bullet' they were intended to be to help with the obesity and diabetes epidemics," Nita Forouhi, a University of Cambridge epidemiologist told Britain's Science Media Centre. "But it does not yet provide sufficient evidence to alter public health and clinical practice."

    9 Superfoods which are good for eye's health

    9 Superfoods which are good for eye's health.


    1. Brussel Sprout
    Brussels sprouts are abundant in zeaxanthin, which helps to boost overall immunity and protect eyes.

    2. Chia Seed
    Chia seeds are rich sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid with powerful anti-inflammatory effects that may help prevent eye conditions linked to oxidative stress and inflammation.

    3. Blueberries
    Blueberries are packed with anthocyanins—powerful antioxidants that protect the retina from free radical damage.

    4. Chinese wolfberries
    Like cassia seeds, Chinese wolfberries are used in TCM to help nourish the liver for better eye health. They are high in lutein and zeaxanthin, which act as antioxidants in the eye to protect and maintain healthy cells.

    5. Cassia Seed
    Cassia seeds are used as a tonic for the liver, eyes and kidneys in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). An unhealthy liver cannot rid the body of toxins effectively. This leads to more toxins in the bloodstream, causing free radical damage to the eyes. Cassia seeds help neutralize free radicals and protect the liver by boosting the activities of antioxidant enzymes. 

    6. Broccoli
    Broccoli is a potent source of sulforaphane, a phytochemical with potent antioxidant effects that help protect the retina.

    7. Yellow pepper
    Yellow pepper is high in nutrients like lutein, beta-carotene and violaxanthin that help improve vision.

    8. Grape Seed 
    Grape seeds are abundant in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). These are powerful antioxidants that help strengthen blood vessels and improve blood circulation in the eyes.

    9. Carrot
    Carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene and lutein for better night vision and to help prevent dry eyes.

    High Blood Pressure Medicine - Side Effects

    High blood pressure has become one of the most common heart diseases nowadays. 

    Many people may think that with medicine prescribed for high blood pressure, it means they are safe and the problems solved. However do you know that side effects of these medications bring harm to your health in the long run?

    Have you heard of people end up going for kidney dialysis (kidney failure) after medicine intake for many many years? 

    What are common high blood pressure side effects?

    Different classes of blood pressure medications have different side effects.

    Diuretics

    Diuretics can lead to an increase in potassium loss, known as hypokalemia, which, in turn can affect muscular function -- including the muscles of the heart. There is also an increased risk for gout with diuretics -- as well as the possibility of weakness, thirst, dehydration, and increased urination. Changes in blood sugar levels are also possible. Skin reactions, some severe, are possible with thiazide diuretics (such as hydrochlorothiazide). Potassium-sparing diuretics, such as spironolactone (Aldactone) may cause breast enlargement in males.

    Beta blockers

    Beta-blockers cause the heart to slow down and so some of their side effects can be traced to that mechanism of action. Dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and fainting are possible. Beta-blockers also affect the respiratory system, so other side effects include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. Beta-blockers should not be withdrawn suddenly, as that could result in a heart attack or sudden death.

    ACE inhibitors

    The most common side effect from ACE Inhibitors is also an unusual one -- a dry cough. Usually it goes away with continued use of the drug, but that could take weeks. ACE Inhibitors could reduce blood pressure too much, resulting in hypotension which could, in turn lead to headache, dizziness, fainting, and reduced kidney function.

    Angiotensin II receptor blockers

    The most common side effect from the angiotensin receptor blockers(ARBs) is an increased potassium level in the blood, known ashyperkalemia. Dizziness is also common, along with fatigue. Upper respiratory tract infections have also been reported -- along with gastrointestinal issues such as upset stomach and diarrhea.

    Calcium channel blockers

    Up to a third of patients may experience the following side effects with calcium channel blockers: Swelling of the ankles and other extremities, flushing, and dizziness. Other common side effects include heartburn and nausea.

    Alpha blockers

    A common, transient, but distressing initial side effect of the alpha blockers is postural hypotension. This is a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up. It can be severe enough to cause dizziness or even fainting. In addition, the alpha blockers can result in increased heart rate, headache, nausea, and weakness.

    Methyldopa

    Methyldopa is mostly well tolerated, but some patients may experience dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, headache, and dry mouth.

    Central agonists

    Up to 40% of patients taking clonidine (Catapres) will experience dry mouth and about a third will have drowsiness, headache, and sleepiness. Other common side effects include constipation, dizziness, and local skin reactions with use of the Catapres-TTS skin patch. Reserpine use is linked with possible side effects including nightmares, stuffy nose, depression, and an inability to fall asleep. Diarrhea and heartburn are also possible. Guanadrel and guanethidine can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues – as well as dizziness and drowsiness.

    Vasodilators

    Taking minoxidil might result in excessive body hair growth, as well as weight gain and dizziness. Hydralazine is linked to headaches, heartpalpitations, swelling around the eyes, and aches and pains in the joints.
    (source: http://www.rxlist.com/high_blood_pressure_hypertension_medications-page8/drugs-condition.html)

    PROTECTION and PREVENTION:
    Do protect your kidney and liver if you or your loved ones are taking medications for the high blood pressure condition.

    It will never be too late to protect these organs before they are damaged day by day by the chemical substances in the medicine. 

    Wholesome Food Product Recommendation: 
    1. ENCORE : to nourish and protect Liver
    2. REFRESH: to nourish and protect Kidney
    3. ORCHESTRA: Good for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
