How to choose Omega 3?

Is anyone taking omega 3 fish oil supplements?

• What are the benefits of omega 3?

• How to choose a right source of omega 3 nutrients?

• Are there possible RISKS of omega 3 fish oil supplements? 

Let's explore together

Benefits:

Proper intake of Omega-3 helps to prevent:

• cardiovascular disease
• cancer
• obesity
• other diseases such as those of the immune system

• It also aids brain, bone and infant development

• It's required to balance out excessive Omega 6 in our body 

What is Omega-6?

Omega-6s are vital for supporting heart, brain and immune system health also!


However, high amounts of Omega-6s may increase risk of several diseases and conditions, including asthma, cardiovascular disease, cancer, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, all of which are believed to stem from inflammation in the body!

This imbalance may also contribute to 

• obesity
• depression
• dyslexia
• hyperactivity 
• tendency towards violence

Unfortunately, modern diets contain too much Omega-6s and too few Omega-3s due to overloaded vegetable oils (Omega-6 source) in 

The typical unhealthy diet contains 14-25 TIMES MORE Omega-6s than Omega-3 many processed and fast foods and intake of corn-fed animals.

The Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom Limited recommends an

Omega-6: Omega-3 ratio  = 3:1 

Types of Omega 3:

2 major types of Omega-3 from animals:

• Docosahexaenoic (DHA)
• Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) 

Omega 3 from plant source:

• alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)

Possible safety concern of animal-based Omega 3

• Toxic contamination such as mercury, pesticides (especially in fish liver and skin)

• Interference with medication

• Increased risk of stroke and cancer

• Do not boost babies' mental development 

• High in calories 

Why should I choose plant omega 3?

• Eco-friendlier

• No risk of overdose

• Do not increase cholesterol level

• No fishy burps

• Do not deplete Vitamin E

Let's look at Omega-6 too.

Which are the right plant source which contains more Omega-3 than Omega-6 to make up for high levels of Omega-6 elsewhere in our diet?

Very obviously, Chia Seed & Kiwi Fruit Seed are of the right choice!! 


Why flax-seed not recommended?

• may be unsafe for unborn children 
• worsen hormone-senstive conditions such as breast, uterine and ovarian cancers. 

CHIA SEED

Chia seeds are ideal sources of omega-3 fatty acids. They are perfect examples of what wholesome food can provide for your health and immunity!

1) Powerful Dose of Omega-3

• Chia seed's high level of omega-3 fatty acids is 3 times its omega-6 - a perfect balance of fatty acids. 60% of the oil in chia seed is ALA (Omega-3), exceptionally high among plants.

2) Excellent Source of Antioxidants

• Unlike other omega-3 sources such as fish that has a fishy stench and no antioxidants, chia seed is rich in antioxidants including flavonol glycosides and chlorogenic acid, to fight free radicals and nourish the immune system. 

3) Enhances Cardiovascular Health

• Chia seed is cholesterol-free. Regular chia seed consumption can reduce blood pressure and inflammation, lower cardiovascular disease risk, dramatically decrease triacylglycerol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. 

4) Anti-Cancer

• Omega-3 fatty acids from chia seeds can help to inhibit cancer growth and spread. There is increasing evidence that consuming more omega-3 fatty acids is important for cancer prevention.

KIWI FRUIT SEED

Kiwi fruit is packed with nutrients. 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists kiwi fruit as one of 30 anti-cancer fruits and vegetables. Its numerous tiny black seeds are also rich in antioxidants and vitamin C.

1) High in Omega-3

• ALA, an Omega-3 fatty acid, cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet. With 62% ALA, kiwi fruit seed is an ideal plant sour...ce of omega-3 for vegetarian.

2) Protects Heart Health

• Kiwi fruit seed can improve blood flow and reduce inflammation and platelet aggregation. Its ALA helps to keep cell membranes soft and flexible for oxygen and nutrients to enter easily, and carbon dioxide and wastes to exit efficiently. It is also heart-protective and helps to prevent sudden cardiac death.

3) Promotes Brain Health

• The brain is an important part of the nervous system. It is about 60% fat. Nerve cells responsible for sending chemical signals need ALA to maintain perception of pleasure, prevent depression and for leanring and memory.

4) Improve Immunity

• The essential fatty acids in kiwi fruit seeds are necessary for making prostaglandins, which play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection.

When we are taking in calories more than the above requirement for a certain duration of time, we shall see ourselves starting to grow 'horizontally'!

Hence, daily calorie intake is very important in weight management. Start practising calculate your calorie intake to prevent from putting on weight!

Lowering your calorie intake is all about everyday choices of what to eat.

If you want to lose 1 kg every week, it is recommended that females take only 800 calories daily and males 1000 calories daily.

Let us check out how much calories of foods that we usually eat...

Check out how much calories we are taking in on our daily meal

• Milkshake (1 big cup 900ml) --> 2310 kcal (Unbelievable!)
• Double Beef and bacon Burger --> 1680 kcal
• Fried Chicken Drumstick --> 400 kcal
• Fries (1 large serving) --> 440 kcal

Refer to the table for other foods...

How about calorie content of other foods?

• Cantonese fried noodles (1 serving) --> 690 kcal

• Chicken Caesar salad (1 serving) --> 990 kcal (due to the salad sauce!!)
• Chocolate sundae (1 cup) --> 320 kcal
• Cheesecake (100g) --> 320 kcal

  

Be wise in choosing our foods - instead of fried food or foods high in sugar, choose fruits and vegetable, and boiled or steamed food. They are low in calories and are more nutritious.

For example, instead of eating a slice of cheesecake (320 kcal), choose an apple (60 kcal) to satisfy hunger pangs.

How 1-Shape & SoyGreen can help us in healthy weight management?

    

What is 1-SHAPE?

1-Shape which is a healthy beverage rich in Soy Bean, American Ginseng, Grain Fibres and Fruits and Vegetables, Low in calories with no cholesterol or caffeine.

What is SOYGREEN?

Soygreen contains Soy Bean, Psyllium Husk, An assortment of fruits and vegetables (Banana, Broccoli, Spinach, Snow Pea, Leaf Lettuce, Radish Leaf, Asparagus, Kale, Green Bell Pepper, Mustard Greens, Romaine Lettuce).

The difference between 1-SHAPE and SOYGREEN is: 

• 1-Shape contains American Ginseng 

• SOYGREEN doesn't contain American Ginseng, but contain an assortment of fruits and vegetables and can be taken as a MEAL REPLACEMENT. 

When you are on low calorie intake, we need the Superfoods in 1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN to help you to enjoy health, vitality and success in managing your weight. 

Soy Bean 

• Soy Bean is rich in protein (the proteins are 2 times compared to beef, 4 times compared to egg, and 12 times compared to formula milk).  The protein from soy helps you to maintain muscles to burn more calories.
  
  Usually when on a low-calories diet, insufficient protein intake to build or maintain muscles will result in less muscle to burn calories, because the more muscle you have in relation to fat, the higher your metabolic rate.
  
  So here the tetrapeptide from soy let you maintain muscles to burn more calories, which in turns help increase your fat metabolism rate. 

• Besides protein, soy bean also rich in phytochemicals (called Geninstein – prevents giving nutrients to cancer cells in our body through blood veins, therefore block cancer formation pathway), vitamins, calcium, folic acid.

  it is also low-fat, low-calorie and cholesterol free.

Psyllium Husk (Grain Fiber) 

• Psyllium Husk give you high fibres - therefore increase satiety (to curb appetite) and prevent constipation, because usually many people who are dieting often suffer from constipation due to inadequate fiber intake.
  
  
• Here, the psyllium husk from 1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN has 2 types – soluble fiber + insoluble fiber
  
  
• the soluble fiber help you form a protective shield in our stomach, to reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol later when eating.  The insoluble fiber helps promoting bowel movement and sweep away the accumulated toxins from your intestines & therefore help prevent colon cancer too. 
  
  
• So, psyllium husk aid weight control by curbing appetite and reducing the absorption of fat and cholesterol

America Ginseng

• America Ginseng helps you relieve stress and reduces fatigue.  
  
  Fatigue and a weekended immune system are commonly encountered while on a low-calorie diet or in the midst of changing diets.  
  
  American Ginseng has the ginsenosides (Rb1, RE) can help to counter stress, boost immune functions, and energize when the body feels tired. American ginseng is a rich source of vitality and energy.  
  
  The Ginsenosides from American Ginseng can help you reduce 70% of getting cancer if you consume daily

Fruits and Vegetables

• Fruits and Vegetables contain disease-fighting nutrients such as phytochemicals and antioxidants that help to prevent chronic diseases. Experts have long advised obtaining the variety of nutrients we need from plant food, not vitamin supplements, as the latter may cause side effects.

So you can see that 1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN is made from all-natural botanical ingredients. 

These wholesome plant foods naturally contain important phytochemicals and antioxidants to support your immune and digestive systems, and a healthy, active lifestyle also.

Many weight-management products on the market contain STIMULANTS that have unpleasant side effects like heart palpitations, insomnia and high blood pressure, or diuretics that promote water loss. 

It is hard to keep the weight off and have rebound effect once you stop taking these products. 

1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN does not contain any stimulant or diuretic.

We only need to take 2 sachets 1-SHAPE / 1 sachet SOYGREEN daily, plus limit our daily calorie intake to 800 cal/day (female) or 1000 cal/day (male) in order to lose 1 kg/ week!!! 

When drink 1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN, remember to shake or stir well, drink immediately to prevent beverage from becoming unpalatable.  

(Remember! must be consistent in consuming for at least 1 week in order to lose 1kg).  

We have to be calculative on our calories.  But please remember do not starve.. Cos, starving slows down our metabolism rate over time, our body will adapt to it and this will make it harder to lose weight. 

Normally in the beginning we might get hungry very fast because of low-calories and rich in nutrients from 1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN.  

If we ever get hungry along the day, the correct way is to choose something that is nutritious, filling, healthy yet low calories if feeling hungry in the beginning of adaptive period, such as fruits or reach for more 1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN better J  



Remember to add Oxyginberry Beverage to ensure muscle toning and prevent muscle sagging after slimmed down 

as Oxyginberry Beverage enhance SELF-PRODUCTION of collagen to support your muscle toning and skin elasticity. 

Weight control is not just purely aesthetic as a healthy body weight will prevent us from getting all sort of dreaded diseases like diabetic, cardiovascular problems, and even cancer!

→So, if you plan to shed away some kilos to look slimmer, 

it’s actually quite easy to achieve the goals via 1-SHAPE/ SOYGREEN and As long as you remember the rule of thumb:

1. No oily stuffs
2. No fried stuffs
3. No carbonated sweetened drinks
4. More vegetables and fruits
5. Always count the calories when we eat/ drink

Plus some light exercise like walking.

→If your goal is to maintain your current weight and prevent constipation/ cardiovascular diseases and colon cancer, 


1-SHAPE / SOYGREEN is also an ideal choice as it's a very convenient source of fiber, american ginseng, soy bean and fruits and vegetables!

You don't have to cut your daily calorie intake into 1000 cal/ day. Just maintain the daily calorie intake as:

Male with exercise is 2200 cal per day (without exercise 2000 cal/day),

Female with exercise is 1800 cal per day (without exercise 1600 cal/day)
