Business Training by Dr Chen in KL 21-Nov-14

Another exciting event of Dr Chen Jau Fei in KL! 

Dr Chen shared on her entrepreneurship experience when first started the company. We enjoyed our learning trip to KL a lot! 

Pursuing a career by educating the public on Science of Nutritional Immunology has been a passion to me. 

Helping people to gain financial freedom and time freedom has been very meaningful as I achieve a sense of fulfillment in my life.

Being able to donate and contribute back to the society has been a dream that I always long for. 

I am blessed of having a time freedom on my hand which allows to me to spend my time every single minute in every single day to do what I desire. 

I am happy that I am able to do all these now.

It started from the decision that I made 7 years ago - to follow a career path which majority not choosing, but to my belief, It can lead me to an extraordinary life, which I can enjoy after years of putting effort in building it. 

I'm happy I realise my dreams now. :) 

Live your passion!

Pregnant ladies' nourishment

I am glad to receive good news from my friend who just gave birth to a healthy and pretty princess recently.

Her pretty princess 

I am happy and feel fulfilled for being able to make a difference in her life by providing a great solution to her during her pregnancy. She was happy to see her baby being delivered healthy and easier to take care of.

Both are very nourishing for pregnant ladies, in fact healthier and safer than bird nest. 

Being a preggie, I understand that we must be very cautious of what is putting in our mouth as it will affect the growth of our baby. 

For me, I was considered a fortunate one as I learned about Nutritional Immunology way before I was pregnant, also understand entire series of E.Excel wholesome food products in a greater depth about Nutritional Immunology. 

So, I am very confident to consume E.Excel food products in a large amount for my pregnancy nourishment without resorting to any supplements suggested by my gynae. 

i could find replacement in the E.Excel wholesome food product range to get ALL the necessary nutrition required by a preggie =) 

My both pregnancies were also smooth and a great blessing to safely deliver my baby girl and baby boy too.

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.

2. Cut the kiwi fruit into small cubes and mix with strawberry, cherry and blueberries.

3. Mix the Evernew Orange with orange juice. Stir evenly and add in all the ingredients in Step 2. Fill into the orange cup. 

4. Decorate with cherry, blueberries and strawberry on top.

Also did a healthy fruit platter "COCONUT TREEES" for my girl :) 

Does it look like 2 coconut trees? :)

I use Evernew Orange as the "soil base" of the coconut trees. 

When Emily saw this platter, she was very excited at her BIG dessert with different colours. :p 

But she only managed to eat a little. The below is the deformed coconut trees after her dessert time! haha! I finished the rest of it. 

I'm happy to see her growth milestone! 

Happy Emily! :)

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"

A short video clip i would like to share also - Pay it Forward:

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."

Playing with food

A messy feeding most of the time! 

Han likes to dip her both hands into the food bowl and starts playing with the food.
