SUPERFOODS for your Heart and Liver

How can we prevent from getting stroke and heart attack?

By maintaing a healthy diet (consume more plant foods) and healthy lifestyle 


PLANT FOODS that help promoting HEART and LIVER health:

1. SOY BEAN:

1. Rich in phytosterols, zero cholesterols, low calories
Help lower LDL (bad) cholesterols and increase HDL (good) cholesterols, thereby promoting heart health. 

Why phytosterols?

To compete with Cholesterol to be incorporated into mixed micelles (mixture of bile salts, lipids, sterols formed in the small intestines)
Phytosterols have a greater affinity for micelles than cholesterols, causing the cholesterols to be excluded from the absorption process.

2. Research shows that an unhealthy diet high in SODIUM and low in POTASSIUM may lead to high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, both of which are main risk of STROKE. 

Soy rich in potassium, which helps the body to get rid of excess sodium, thus lowering the risk of stroke. 

2. PSYLLIUM HUSK:

1. Rich source of phytosterols like beta-sitosterol and stigma sterol. Studies have shown that psyllium husk can lower total and LDL cholesterol, helping to reduce heart disease risk. 

2. High fiber content aid weight management. The dietary fiber can help lower total cholesterol levels in the body too. The soluble fiber (form a gel-like substance on intestine) helps lower blood cholesterol levels by slowing down the absorption of cholesterol through small intestine. it helps clear away LDL cholesterol. 

** important to note that fiber will NOT inhibit the absorption of vitamins and minerals. On the contrary, it enhances the absorption of minerals. 

The human body requires around 20-35g of dietary fiber daily for sufficient nourishment. 

For reference:
Apple with skin = 2.8g only. 

Per 100 g food
Pysllium Husk = 78 g fiber 
Chia Seed = 38 g fiber
Oat = 11 g fiber
Whole wheat bread = 7 g fiber
Broccoli = 3 g fiber
Orange = 2 g fiber 
Banana = 2 g fiber 
Strawberry = 2 g fiber
White Rice (Cooked) = 0 g fiber

3. CACTUS, CACTUS FRUITS, GINSENG BERRY, GRAPE SEED, ROSE and SEAWEED:

Cactus/ Cactus Fruits: 
1. High anti-inflamation properties helps to reduce inflammation in the blood vessel. 

2.Contain proline and taurine. Proline aids in collagen formation, atherosclerosis prevention, and tissue repair. Taurine helps to combat heart disease, protect against diabetes, lower high blood pressure and decrease anxiety. 

3. Cactus extract helps to decrease cholesterol and triglycerides level, reduce LDL (bad) cholesterols, prevent high blood sugar level, stabilise diabetics' blood sugar level, promote cardiovascular health. 

Ginseng Berry:

1. Ginseny berry is considered a tonic for the blood. It can lower the blood pressure to normal levels and even reduce cholesterols.

2. Contain Ginsenosides - 4 times higher amount than the ginseng root. Enhance blood circulation therefore more efficient transport of oxygen and nutrients to the body organs from the heart. 

Grape Seed:

1. High antioxidant properties due to OPC content - antioxidant activity is 20 times higher than Vitamin C and 50 times higher than Vitamin E. Helps in inhibiting oxidative DNA damage. Oxidation is one of the MAIN causes of various diseases. The OPCs in grape seed can help to enhance DNA's ability to repair itself. 

It improves blood circulation by strengthening the blood vessels. 

Rose:
1. Rose has been used over the centuries to improve blood circulation

2. It enhances collagen production which is important for blood vessel elasticity. 

3. It strengthen the immune system by regulating and balancing it from giving inflammation. 

Seaweed:
1. Helps to stimulate collagen formation and cellular turnover (cell regeneration). Collagen is important to maintain elasticity of our blood vessel to prevent from getting stroke. 

2. It helps to prevent blood clotting, therefore promote healthier flow in the circulatory system. 

4. ASHITABA

1. It helps alleviate high blood cholesterol level

2. Contain chlorophyl that is excellent in cleansing the blood and liver. It also promotes the growth of good bacteria in the intestine. 

3. Contain flavonoids which have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart diseases, asthma and stroke. 

4. Helps to regulate blood glucose level.

5. It inhibits histamine release, thereby preventing any allergic reaction.

6. Helps to promote bone formation and increase bone mass.

Be a wise consumer - Read ingredient label

Recently, I saw a post in FB from a friend which shared that after taking a joint (glucosamine) supplement of a particular brand, the joint pain improved a lot, means not as painful as before. 

I was very curious, hence googled to search some information about it! 

The below is the info I obtained about this glucosamine supplements:


I decided to search more info about what boswellic acid which the company claimed to improve joint functions in 7 days! 

That's amazing isn't it? 

To my surprise, this is what I found:

Boswellia, also known as Indian Frankincense, is an herbal extract taken from the Boswellia serrata tree.
Resin made from boswellia extract has been used for centuries in Asian and African folk medicine to treat chronic inflammatory illnesses, as well as a number of other health conditions. It is available as a resin, pill, or cream.
Studies show that boswellia may reduce inflammation and may be useful in treating:
  • osteoarthritis
  • rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
  • asthma
  • inflammatory bowel disease
Besides being an effective anti-inflammatory, boswellia can be an effective painkiller and may prevent the loss of cartilage. Some studies have found that it may even be useful in treating certain cancers, such as leukemia and breast cancer.
Boswellia may interact with and decrease the effects of anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen and other medications. Talk to your doctor before using boswellia products, especially if you’re taking other medications to treat inflammation.
Important: Boswellia may be an emmenagogue and abortificient. This means it can stimulate menstruation and induce miscarriage by increasing blood flow in the uterus. Pregnant women are advised to avoid this herb.
Source:
http://www.healthline.com/health/boswellia
After reading the above, boswellic acid can be chemically extracted from the boswellia herb. No doubt it has good anti-inflammation properties.

HOWEVER, what I also saw is the side effects from using the acid. It acts as a painkiller too. And interact with other medications and can induce miscarriage among pregnant ladies. 

I was thinking that's the reason why my friend has less pain in her joint after taking the supplement as it has pain killer effect. 

So what if she stops taking the supplement, will the pain come back? Probably yes...

What we are more worrying is the long term consumption of this glucosamine supplement will endanger a person's health:

Why? 

1. Boswellic acid a not natural plant, it has become some form of chemical as it's chemically extracted out, no longer wholesome. 

2. What if the person taking medicine for eg ibuprofen that treat her inflammation and at the same time taking this supplement too? chemical interaction which leads to serious side effects.

3. Since it's a chemical form, it causes side effects especially on liver and kidney when consuming on long term. 

4. For Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements which either come from crab shells/ shrimp shells/ made in laboratory - chemically synthesized, it will give side effects such as leading to diabetes problems as these ingredients will cause the pancreatic cells to die off.

Read below for more details:
http://healthywholesomefood.blogspot.sg/2013/08/glucosamine-supplements-safety-concern.html

5. The claim stating the product's effectiveness to be seen within 7 days has not been evaluated by US FDA. 

So, we must be a wise consumer to always learn to read the ingredient labels.

Some unsafe ingredients may be hidden without being marketed out for consumers' information, instead the company will over exaggerate on the effectiveness to catch consumer's attention.

Why do I choose Lipstick by E.Excel?

Most important factor is the PRODUCT SAFETY!!!

🙀 Read the below article !!! 
"400 lipsticks found to contain lead, FDA says"
A recent federal analysis showing that 400 shades of popular lipstick contained trace amounts of lead has exacerbated an ongoing dispute between regulators and consumer activists over how much lead is safe in cosmetics.
Five lipsticks made by L’Oreal and Maybelline, owned by L’Oreal USA, ranked among the top 10 most contaminated of the cosmetics, according to testing by the Food and Drug Administration. Two Cover Girl and two NARS lipsticks also landed in the top 10, as did one made by Stargazer.



Let's all be a wise consumer !!
