Broccoli Quinoa porridge

Today woke up early morning and cooked for Han quinoa porridge. 


Ingredients:

Few pieces of broccoli 
Chia seed and kiwi seed from O-Seed

Used vege wash to clean the broccoli too remove any possible pesticide.

After feeding her millennium, I fed her the porridge. Glad she finished the morning serving! 😊

Her morning breakfast - Soy Milk

Nutrifresh as her breakfast 

Why did I introduce Nutrifresh? To give her a plant-based soy bean milk in hope to replace her formula milk which has many synthetic vitamin fortification. 

Why i choose soy milk rather than cow's milk?

Ingredients:

Soya bean + grape + banana + pineapple + asparagus + barley + broccoli + cabbage + cantaloupe + carrot + citrus peel + honeydew + peas + pear + peach + grapefruit + lemon + rice powder 

(No artificial coloring and preservative) 

Suitable for growing children from 6 months onwards.




I am glad she is GOOD with the taste!  :D 

Some parents may have concern of introducing many plant ingredients at one time. To me, i find it's okay to continue introducing as long as after first attempt she is not developing any allergies towards it. 

Furthermore, I have read that the latest AAAAI has come up with this recommendation on introducing allergen to infants:

This past January, however, the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology (AAAAI) released a new set of recommendations on infant feeding practices to help prevent food allergy. The recommendations are based on the available observational research to date, and are the first guidelines to state that delaying introduction of foods like wheat, cow's milk dairy, eggs, fish and nuts may actually result in an increased risk of food allergy or eczema. - See more at: http://healthywholesomefood.blogspot.sg/2014/04/parents-must-read-how-and-why-to.html


Nutrifresh has been a very convenient source for me to prepare her for soy milk now! ;)

Why I choose Nutritional Immunology for myself and family?

If you were with me that year in 2007, you will be seeing me as a very hardworking employee, readily to do overtime whenever needed. 

Right after graduation from NUS in chemical engineering, I stepped into working world and worked as a chemical engineer in first top engineering firm in Singapore.


Due to long hours of working and stress and improper diet, I became falling sick very often. 


Almost every month I had to take MC after getting flu, cold or fever

I didn't realise the severe impact on my job performance until my BIG boss asked me to his room and started questioning on my MC record. Basically i have taken 20 days of MC in my first year of working. 

I started to seek for alternative way to improve my health, but my condition didn't get better. 

While I was looking for better alternative, my colleague shared with me on Nutritional Immunology. 


I was amazed by her sharing with the fact that immune system is the BEST DOCTOR in the world and what it needs is nutrition from wholesome plant food source, not from medicine and vitamin pills. 

Taking antibiotics will make body to have superbug as the bacteria will be immune to the medicine. 

I started taking Nutritional Immunology wholesome food products such as Symphony of Excellence, Oxyginberry Beverage, Nutrifresh, Evernew and so on.

To my amazement, I was not falling sick for a couple of months continuously. This is a HUGE improvement on my health. 


I was thankful that my colleague shared it with me and my health condition improved tremendously. Otherwise, I could have still suffering from frequent cold and fever helplessly.

medicine and vitamin supplements

Will medicine give side effects?

MEDICINE:

How can I find out about side effects or safety concerns for my drug?
To learn about side effects or safety concerns for your drug, read either the drug label or the drug's package insert. You may also want to speak with your pharmacist or healthcare provider.
Another way to learn about your drug’s side effects or safety concerns is to use the Index to Drug-Specific Information.
Do drugs have risks?
All medicines have benefits and risks. The risks of medicines are the chances that something unwanted or unexpected could happen to you when you use them. Risks could be less serious things, such as an upset stomach, or more serious things, such as liver damage. FDA approves a drug for marketing after determining that the drug's benefits outweigh its risks.
How do I report a suspected drug side effect?
Use MedWatch, the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program, to report a suspected drug side effect.

VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS:

How can our immune system malfunction?

In war, the stronger army wins while the weaker army quickly succumbs to invasion. 

Our body works the same way. When germs attack, a healthy immune system instantly fights them.

What is  immune system and how does it work?

http://healthywholesometfood.blogspot.sg/2014/01/the-goals-of-nutritional-immunology.html

Only when our immune system is malnourished or weak, do we fall seriously ill or even die from infection. 

Take the example of two people exposed to the same flu virus. One falls seriously ill but the other doesn't. Although they face the same viral threat, only the person with a weak immune system becomes sick with the flu. 

Bacteria, viruses and other microbes are blamed for many illnesses but they are usually helpless against a strong immune system. A strong immune system function defends us from infections. 

Clearly MOST ILLNESSES are caused by a MALFUNCTIONING IMMNUE SYSEM.

1. A WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM

A weak immune system leaves us prone to highly infectious disease like SARS, pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis, influenza, tuberculosis, food poisoning and hand foot mouth disease. 

in 2001, the WHO reported that 10% of the adults in the world had at least one incidence of flu and that between 200,000 and 500,000 people die of the flu every year. 

A weak immune system can also lead to cancer. Under normal conditions, our immune cells are constantly patrolling the body and killing matured cells and cancer growth. The American National Cancer Institute explains that a weak immune system cannot quickly identity and destroy these cancer cells, causing an uncontrollable spread of cancer in the body. 

2. WAR WITHOUT AN ENEMY: ALLERGIES 

The immune system can malefaction by OVER-REACTING towards non-threatening agents. When this happens, we get an allergic reaction. 

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says that allergies can strike at any time. It has been reported that one in 4 people  in the US and one in 6 people in the UK have some form of allergy. 

Allergic reaction can be classified into 3 main types - respiratory, food and skin. 

Respiratory: Sneezing  coughing, runny nose and tearing eyes are some of the respiratory allergies caused by factors like dust, plant pollen, animal fur and cigarette smoke.

Food: Vomiting, nausea, cramps and diarrhoea can be due to food allergens like milk, nut, eggs and shellfish.

Skin: Rashes, dermatitis, boils and blisters could stem from medicines, cosmetics, chemicals and some types of cloth, metals and insect bites. 

Allergies could lead to serious complications even death. Respiratory allergies can lead to asthma, a chronic lung complication that kills 1500 people a year in UK. Sinusitis, an inflammation of nasal sinuses, is a complication that affects 30 million Americans. Certain foods and insect bites can trigger  anaphylactic shock, which can kills if not promptly treated. 

3. BLIND-FOLDED ATTACK: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

Our immune system is programmed to distinguish between enemy cells and the body's own cells. Sometimes, the immune system behaves like a blind-folded soldier and mistakenly kills our own cells. This malfunction can lead to auto-immune diseases. 

There are over 70 auto-immune diseases, including rheumatism, inflammation of the joints, multiple sclerosis, a disses affecting the nervous system; diabetes mellitus, the inability of an individual to produce insulin to regulate blood sugar. Others include lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, haemolytic anemia, eczema, psoriasis, Crohn's disease and chronic fatigue syndrome. 

Rhematism affects about one million people in the UK. The WHO reported in 1998 that about 2.5 million people worldwide suffer from multiple sclerosis.

Hormonal Imbalance among women

Women ! It's a blessing to be a woman as we can dress up ourselves, wear make up, nice clothes and so on.

However, we have to face a problem which majority of women may suffer from - illnesses or diseases related to endocrine system (Hormonal system).

What is ENDOCRINE SYSTEM?

The endocrine system is responsible for producing the chemicals and hormones needed by the body to regulate its integrated systems. 

The endocrine system comprises specialised tissues and organs - see below:


Each gland of the endocrine system releases specific hormones into your bloodstream. These hormones travel through your blood to other cells and help control or coordinate many body processes.
Endocrine glands include:
  • Adrenal glands: Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisosteroid.
  • Hypothalamus: A part of the lower middle brain that tells the pituitary gland when to release hormones.
  • Ovaries: The female reproductive organs that release eggs and produce sex hormones.
  • Islet cells in the pancreas: Cells in the pancreas control the release of the hormones insulin and glucagon.
  • Parathyroid: Four tiny glands in the neck that play a role in bone development.
  • Pineal gland: A gland found near the center of the brain that may be linked to sleep patterns.
  • Pituitary gland: A gland found at the base of brain behind the sinuses. It is often called the "master gland" because it influences many other glands, especially the thyroid. Problems with the pituitary gland can affect bone growth, a woman's menstrual cycles, and the release of breast milk.
  • Testes: The male reproductive glands that produce sperm and sex hormones.
  • Thymus: A gland in the upper chest that helps develop the body's immune system early in life.
  • Thyroid: A butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck that controls metabolism 

Each of these glands and organs secretes hormones that control a part of the body's functions. 

Hormones come in various forms and regulate processes like reproduction, growth, metabolism and cell repair. 

As hormones are released into the blood according to the need of a particular system, stress and infection can cause hormone levels to rise or fall. 

The endocrine system also acts as a communication line between the brain and the immune system. Immune cells manufacture hormones that allow the immune system to coordinate its activities with the other systems. For example corticosteroids regulates mood, sleep patterns, muscle strength, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fat. Corticosteroids help regulate these daily bodily functions as well as provide emergency support in cases of infection and disease. 

When we are placed in a stressful situation, whether real or imagined, the entire body responds by flooding the blood stream with corticosteroids. At this moment, the immune system and digestive system will come to a halt while our muscle will the strengthened to enhance physical performance. While this strategy was essential for the survival of our prehistoric forefathers, it can today, be VERY HARMFUL for the immune system. Modern day stresses are more emotional in nature with less need for physical confrontations. When such stressful emotions continue, corticosteroids accumulate, further suppressing the immune system and letting the body become prone to illnesses. 

The BEST SOLUTION to this dilemma are eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and giving ourselves healthy outlets for stress. 

SUPERFOODs which are Good For ENDOCRINE SYSTEM:
1. JI-LIN GINSENG

2. BEE POOLEN

3. LICORICE ROOT

4. TANGERINE PEEL

5. CHINESE CASSIA

6. CHRYSANTHEMUM

Steve Jobs's Pancreatic Cancer

Late Apple Founder, Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer. It's a sad news to the world especially the iPhone and Apple product lovers.

How did the cancer formation happen? I hope that everyone can understand about this so we can do a BETTER PREVENTION. 

It took 8 years time between his cancer diagnosis till his death. 

Do you know that 2/3 of the time when cancer cells start multiplying, the cancer can't be diagnosed by the doctor, specialist or machine? 

The reason is that when it starts to multiply, the amount is still very small. It starts from 1 cancer cell, multiply to 2 cancer cells to 4 cancer cells..


Once many cancer cells form a tumor, it will start to spread. 


There is a limitation to our medical machine. When the number of cancer cells are still not significantly large, the machine is not able to detect the cancer cells. 

Even the most advance machine PET scan can only DETECT cancer cells when it is at least 1mm or 2mm size. Anything less than that size, the machine can't tell the existence of cancer. 

However, do you know that when 1mm size of cancer has been detected, how many cancer cells are there in the single dot (1mm) already? It has 1 MILLION of cancer cells already!!

Imagine once this 1 million cancer cells multiply, the number will become 2 millions, then 4 millions and so on. The cancer cells increase fast! 

Can you now relate that why a patient after getting diagnosed with cancer, usually after a short while, it will reach terminal stage? The cancer cells spread fast with big amount keep multiplying. 

For Steve Jobs's case, his cancer cell is a chronic pancreatic cancer cell which multiplied quite slowly, multiplied every 10 months. Majority of the Solid Tumors multiply every 3 to 7 months.
Hence if we back calculate when Steve Jobs started to have cancer cells in his body, it's actually when he was in his 20's. 

In summary, 
2/3 of time when cancer cells exist, our body and doctors can't tell us. 
the remaining 1/3 when cancer is diagnosed, it may be too late for curing.

Hence all the above give us a clear message that: 
We have to start changing our diet and lifestyle during the 2/3 of time to kill the cancer cells when they are still small. 

Our body has a very important defence system (which is immune system) to help us detect and damage the cancer cells.



More info about immune system and Natural Kill cells:

Nutritional Immunology tells us that: 

To keep our immune system healthy, 4 keys to practise in our lifestyle:

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables especially the immune super foods
2. Take enough rest and sleep 
3. Do appropriate exercise
4. Maintain happy emotion

Importance of law of attraction

你想什么,你相信什么?你就有什么样的磁场。


人的磁场是看不见的,但这种力量是巨大的,就像万有引力一样,我们每个人身上的这种磁场无时无刻不在影响你的人生,这种磁场是怎么形成的?

你的观念,你的信仰,你的环境,你的朋友,你的呼吸,你吃的食物,你的欲望,你的静息与睡眠等都会影响你的磁场,这些磁场就形成你的气质,你的运气,你的命运。


一个人的气质很好,外表精神,有修养,有道德,这个人的磁场就好,就会吸引好的事,吸引好的运气。


相反一个人如果磁场不好,则外表没人精神,委靡不振,做事没效率,如果磁场再坏就会走霉运,不好的事情总是发生在他身上,干什么都不顺,喝口凉水把牙给塞了。

那么是什么能影响我们的磁场呢?


意念场

你想什么,你相信什么?你就有什么样的磁场,这也就是吸引力法则。

你的思想吸引你想要的东西,你是积极向上的思想,你的磁场就是积极向上的,你的思想是消极负面的,你的磁场就是消极负面的,同时吸引消极负面的人和事,所以要加深你的正能量场,就要有积极正面的思想。


具有赚钱意识的人经常吸引金钱,而具有贫穷意识的人总是引来贫穷。通过你的思想、语言和行为,它们将为你所意识到的事物打开通道,无论富有或贫穷,都恰如你所想的状况那样满足你。一个人在心里怎么想,他就会是什么样。你一直很害怕的事物总是向你走来。也就是说"你所强烈意识到的事物总是会来到你这里。


思想是因,与你思想相一致的人生和境遇就是你的果,你的因会吸引来果,这就是种瓜得瓜,你种下什么因就会收获什么果。

知道这个法则的原理后,你就会运用思想的巨大能量来追求你所想要的一切,你会变得有自信,你会知道世间的因果法则,你会懂得正确积极正面的运用你的思想,人的心脑合一、身心开放后振频就强了,与天地意识信息振频就通畅了。

人体就是一个很敏感的信息场,无时无刻都在与外界的信息、能量进行交换。


爱的磁场

爱是宇宙间最强大的磁场,因为它和宇宙和谐一致,爱是你身上正面的磁场,只有发出爱你才会吸引爱,所以不要只爱你自己的那么小我,要爱周围所有的人,爱你的朋友,父母,爱人,亲人,同事,爱你的敌人,爱地球万物,一花一草,你发出的爱越多,你积聚在宇宙间爱的磁场就会越大,同时你收获的爱也就越大。


爱是一种物质,一种磁场,你发出爱,宇宙就有你爱的磁场,一个人积聚的爱的磁场越多,他就会吸引更多的爱,当你有困难有危险的时候,宇宙会发出各种信息让你感知到,这就像灵感一样,灵感发生于有爱的地方,孩子和妈妈,双胞胎,恋人和朋友.只有两个人的爱的意识体的磁场才能让们能够相互共振,虽远在天涯,但爱让意识体联系到了一体,他有危险他会知道,他有爱他会感知的到。


如孩子有危险,妈妈会感到有些不舒服,你某一天想起一个远方的一个朋友,忽然你的这个朋友打电话给你,两个相爱的人虽远在天涯,有时也会感知到对方的爱!

一个人广做善事,他就积聚了宇宙间的爱的磁场,当他有危险时,他的潜意识会有感知,身体哪方面不适或出现信号,让他知道,然后避免灾难,就算真有灾难,他也会化险为夷!


宇宙间有一个强大的法则就是吸引力法则,你的思想是有磁场有能量有吸引力的你想什么,你就会发射到宇宙中去,宇宙就会响应你的想法,给你想要的!而爱是宇宙间最强大的磁场,你发出多大的思想,宇宙间给你的磁场就会有多大,一个广做慈善发出爱越多的人,他得到爱的磁场就会越大。


做任何事不要以为别人不知道,举头三尺有神明,不要以恶小而为之.不要以善小而不为,这和佛家的因果思想是一样的,善有善报,恶有恶报,不是不报,时候未到。

宇宙是圆的,宇宙是有因果法则的,有付出就有回报,爱别人别人才会爱你,帮助别人别人才会帮助你!


在日常生活中,你会发现包括你在内的、大量的“低能量”人!偶尔也会幸运地遇到高能量的人,他们总是那么积极乐观,总是那么快乐,总是那么具有影响力。你感到羡慕,并被深深吸引,同时也希望成为那样的人。


什么是高能量和低能量?

正面的高能量(PositiveHighEnergy):活力、精力充沛、兴奋、热情、全神贯注、多姿多采、正面挑战、内外合一、自我提升、提升他人;


正面的低能量(PositiveLowEnergy):安静、冷静、平静、宁静、放松、焕然一新、和谐、当下、充分休息、内外合一(静态);


负面的高能量(NegativeHighEnergy):愤怒、怀疑、沮丧、担忧、急躁、压力、负面的挑战、所有的事情都是问题、关系是挑战;


负面的低能量(NegativeLowEnergy):怨恨、后悔、内疚、嫉妒、自卑、绝望、挫败、羞耻、尴尬、责怪。
