Welcome to Healthy Wholesome Food Blogspot

Welcome to Healthy Wholesome Food Blogspot - a place where you can learn and enquire about health and beauty knowledge based on Science of Nutritional Immunology - a science which studies the link between nutrition and immune system.



Objective:
  • Aim to add values to people to become a wiser consumer in attaining good health.
  • Provide fast and convenient solutions for people who wish to take wholesome plant foods  

"In the past years, many researchers around the world have studied many different phytonutrients in many different plant foods, from the ordinary tomato to exotic mushrooms. Significant inroads have been made into the knowledge of how these different phytonutrients affect our bodies. But there are literally thousands of different plant foods and thousands of phytonutrients left to be thoroughly studied. Every day new studies validate the connection between nutrition and a healthy immune system. The Science of Nutritional Immunology is making tremendous strides in research and development to improve health and longevity for people around the world. "
"Since the beginning of time, man has been eating those natural foods he gathers from his environment - fruits, vegetables, herbs, roots, seeds, nuts and grains. Our bodies are programmed to accept these natural substances and reject unnatural substances."
"Sound, natural, wholesome plant foods sustain us and provide the phytochemicals, antioxidants and polysaccharides we need to support our immune systems."

Immune System - the Best Doctor in the world!!

Do you know that 99% of the illnesses and diseases are caused due to malfunctioning immune system? How well we understand our immune system which is the invisible army in our body?
Let's look inside our immune system which consists of the following immune organs:
 1) Bone Marrow (Soldier Factory)
- Create red blood cells and white blood cells. White blood cells are our immune cells
- Every second, about 8 million blood cells die and the same number are regenerated here...
2) Thymus (Training Ground)
- Assign T-Cells (immune cells) their duties in fighting diseases
- Secretes immune-regulating hormones
3) Lymph Nodes (Battlegrounds)
- Little pickets of battlegrounds with billions of white blood cells
- Swollen lymph nodes are a good indication that you have an infection and your immune system is hard at work
- Filter lymph fluid which carries away waste products like viruses and bacteria
4) Spleen (Blood Filter)
- Filter blood by removing dead blood cells and engulfed viruses and bateria
5) Tonsils (Throat Guard)
- Maintain constant vigilance against invaders to the body thru nose and mouth
6) Appendix (Immune Assistant)
- Act like a traffic coordinator, direct white blood cells' movement to other parts of body
- Protect digestive tract
7) Peyer's Patches (Intestinal Guards)
- React invaders in the intestines
The Science of Nutritional Immunology tells us that:
  • The BEST DOCTOR in the world is our own immune system.
  • When our immune system is functioning properly, it can help us to carry out 3 very important functions: Defense, Cleansing & Repair
  • Nutrition plays important role to nourish the immune system so that it can function well

Below are some important immune cells that carry out different functions in our body:
1. B-Cells (doing defense function)
 
 - Fight invaders by producing antibodies specific to those invaders
- Antibodies are our enemy-seeking missiles that track and lock onto assigned invaders such as bacteria and viruses before triggering immne responses to destroy them
- Some B cells can become "memory" cells. If the same invader attacks again, the memory B cells will identify and dispatch specific antibodies to defeat it.
2. Natural Killer (NK) Cells (doing defense function)
- Cancer Cell (in the middle) is surrounded by Natural Killer Cells (the white color snow ball) which are the lethal snipers who shoot holes into invaders.

3. Macrophage (doing Cleansing function)
  
- This is a macrophage (Enemy Eater) - the garbage man of our body is ingesting foreign particles which have entered our body
- Look, the macrophage is trying to grab a particle using its tentacle
- Now, the macrophage opens its mouth and engulfs E.Coli Bacteria

4. Red Platlet (doing Repair function)
- Our blood platelets which perform repair task in our body.

Some websites which share the info about immune system:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/human-biology/immune-system.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_system


Our immune system is an amazing piece of work! At any given second, it calls upon a complex ad concerted effort from countless different immune battalions, working ceaselessly to protect us not only from invaders but also from our own internal cells, which can mutate and become cancerous.
Without immune system, a simple dust in the air would kill us!

    E.Excel Testimonial from a senior citizen (86 years old)

    Do you think E.Excel Wholesome Food can help senior citizen? 

    Definitely will. 

    Let's see below testimonial from a senior citizen aged 86 years old.

    I am 86 years old this year. Since young, I have been selling Yong Tao Fu in Kuala Lumpur. 

    Due to long hours of work, I developed many illnesses: High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, and Diabetes, relying on medicine everyday of my life! 

    I have undergone 3 surgeries before - removed ovary, thyroid gland, and cataract.

    At the age of 74, due to high blood pressure and admitted to hospital, I was forced to retire. 

    3 years later after my retirement, one day, when traveling with my son, I suddenly felt excruciating pain till I had to lie on the floor. 

    I was brought to seek medical help immediately by my son on wheel chair. Doctor diagnosed that my cartilage in my knee was gone, my knee was inflamed badly, and swollen. 

    I was on medication to reduce the swelling. I was helpless as no medication can help to cure although I have been doctors including specialist.

    Fortunately, after my daughter's friend knew about my condition, she shared with me E.Excel food ART. I have been taking it for 3 years, and added other E.Excel foods for eg. Celebration, Millennium, Encore, Refresh, Nutrifresh and Noco

    Now I have even added G-ART, Oxyginberry Beverage, Orchestra after it was launched!

    I am very confident on the products.

    Today, I do not have to walk with stick, I can even walk staircases till 4th floor without panting. my body bone has become stronger also. I can even do housework and cooking, travelling everywhere I like, my life is very wonderful!

    I am very thankful of knowing E.Excel, allow me to still be able to go everywhere, unlike other elderly who need other people's care. 

    Although having tough life for the first half of my life, I feel I am getting happier and happier, social circle is also getting bigger and bigger due to E.Excel. 

    I also expanded my horizon, and my life has become more meaningful too. 

    I feel that we must be positive as human being, it's very important. 

    Bringing health and joy to people around us - why not?? 

    I always share with people, we elderly has not much request, we just hope to be able to "eat well, sleep well, walk well, release well", we feel very blessed already.

    Longevity Herbs (KUMAZASA & ASHITABA)

    1. KUMAZASA - CLEANSING BAMBOO


    Originating from Japan, is a versatile species of bamboo. it is said that Kumazasa leaves are a bear's first meal after hibernation. Bears eat large amounts of food before hibernation. During hibernation, which lasts around 6-7 months, waste from digestion circulates in their bodies through their blood. By eating Kumazasa, bears purify and detoxify their blood after hibernation.

    The Japanese wrap food such as raw fish with Kumazasa leaves to prevent spoilage and impart their fragrance to contents. Kumazasa's ability to preserve food is attributed to volatile oils of the leaves.

    Studies have shown that Kumazasa has a cleansing effect on the blood, which is useful for lowering blood pressure. 
    • Its polysaccharides can reduce excess cholesterol in blood vessels to help them regain vitality and elasticity, protecting against atherosclerosis. 
    • Its lignin also has cleansing effects on the liver, enhancing its filtering function.
    • Bamfolin, a polysaccharide in Kumazasa, has anti-cancer properties. It helps to strengthen cell walls, so that cells' absorption of nutrients and detoxification are smoother. 
    • Kumazasa extract is excellent for promoting wound healing and has anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects.

    2. ASHITABA - THE AMAZING LONGEVITY HERB


    Do you know there is a plant with such strong life force that if you pluck a leaf today, a new one will sprout tomorrow? 

    This amazing plant is Ashitaba and it is native to Japan's Hachijo Island. During the Edo period, Hachijo Island was used as a place of exile for convicts. Despite hard labor and poor diets, the convicts lived long lives. Their unlikely longevity was attributed to the continual consumption of Ashitaba that they foraged for.

    Scientists have discovered many good components in ASHITABA: 
    • Flavanoids: Luteolin-7-glucoside and isoquercitrin are among the different flavonoids present in Ashitaba. Flavonoids have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart diseases, asthma and stroke.
    • Coumarins: These are antioxidants with anti-cancer properties.
    • ChlorophylII: It stimulates the production of red blood cells. It is also excellent for cleansing the blood and liver, and promotes the growth of "friendly" intestinal bacteria.
    • Chalcones: Ashitaba sap is very precious as only a few milligrams can be collected from the cross section of the stem. The sap is made up of mostly chalcones, which have been linked to many of Ashitaba's health promoting benefits.
    • Anti-allergy
    • Regulate Blood glucose level
    • Bone formation and bone mass
    • Anti-viral
    • Nervous system - promote production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), prevent Alzheimer's disease and peripheral neuropathy
    • Reduce Visceral Fat (abdominal fat which is very difficult to reduce) for more efficient weight management
    • Wound healing

    As a convenience, 

    ORCHESTRA is wholesome plant food product which consists of both Kumazasa and Ashitaba plant.

    It's one of my daily favourite drinks.
