Can supplements help to prevent cancer?
Another excellent article from Today newspaper.
One third of ALL CANCER linked to poor diet and lack of physical activity.
SINGAPORE — Every day, about 33 Singaporeans are diagnosed with cancer, which is the leading cause of death here.
Despite the statistics, it is possible to make lifestyle choices that lower cancer risks. For instance, one-third of all cancers have been linked to a poor diet and insufficient physical activity, which are changeable risk factors for cancer, said Dr Lim Siew Eng, associate director (clinical — education) and senior consultant at the Department of Haematology-Oncology at the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore.
Choose wisely:
Lower your cancer risk by including more fruit and vegetables, which are rich in dietary fibre, in your diet. Have at least two servings of each daily. According to Ms Lin, fruit and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, fibre, sterols and antioxidants that may help prevent cancer.
“Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, carotenoids and other phytochemicals, are thought to protect normal cells against damage from oxidative stress,” she said.
Dr Lim explained that phyto-chemicals are chemicals that occur naturally in plants. “They provide the colour, taste and smell, influence chemical processes in the body, and are the cancer fighters in our food,” he said.
To reap the benefits of these cancer-fighting nutrients, be sure to eat vegetables and fruit of all colours, advised Dr Lim. Examples include broccoli, kai lan, banana, pineapple, blueberries, brinjal, carrot, orange, tomato and red capsicum.
What's more, SAFETY is most important!

What you eat can make a difference in cancer prevention and this is a choice that everyone can make on a daily basis, said Dr Lim. Here are some ways to lower cancer risk at every meal.
1. Processed and red meat
These meats are the contributing cause of colorectal cancer — the most common cancer in Singapore — as well as other cancers such as stomach, breast, endometrium and oesophagus cancer, said Ms Esther Lin, dietitian at National University Hospital (NUH).
Cured and processed meats such as bacon, sausages, ham, spam, corned beef and tinned meat also increase colorectal cancer risk.
“When these meats are consumed on a regular basis, your risk of colorectal cancer would increase, even if they are consumed in small amounts,” said Mr Won Tin Chiang, senior dietitian at National Healthcare Group Polyclinics.
Ms Lin explained that carcinogens are produced when meat is cooked at high temperatures or by charcoal grilling.
“Processed meats are preserved by salting, smoking, curing or the addition of chemical compounds (nitrates and nitrites), which cause the formation of cancer-causing nitrosamines,” said Ms Lin. Nitrosamines damage cells and may lead to the development of cancer.

All of the above are aligned with what Nutritional Immunology is advocating!
Wholesome is the key, we should get the disease fighting nutrients from wholesome plant food rather than extracted or isolated or synthetic vitamins/nutrients which can prevent diseases at all.
Wholesome VS synthetic:
In order to prevent diseases, we have to eat fruits and vegetables, but most of the people can't meet the quantity required due to hectic lifestyle. If you can eat enough quantity of greens, what about the variety and colours?
Over here, we have 28types of vegetables in form of : wholesome + convenience + safe
We are what we eat, be a wise consumer to stay healthy!

How to prepare 28types of vegetables in a minute!
Super excited when VegColor is finally launched!
As we all know the importance of eating vegetables, not just eat and has to ensure we eat enough of quantity i.e. 500grams per day and variety also.
Some of my customers do feedback to me it's tedious to prepare as need to ensure no chemical or pesticide residue on the vegetables and fruits, and some kids they don't really eat much greens. Even if they do eat, but maybe just limit to broccoli or spinach, that's all.
For how to solve the pesticides residue problem, I used VegWash, it's water based with no chemical and effective to wash off pesticide residue.
For how to prepare 28 types of different colours vegetables in a minute, now I have this: ta da.... Vegecolours!
How to consume?
Either sprinkle on food or
Mix into noodle or
or mix into waffle
VegeColor save lots of my time in term of preparing and feeding, as it taste yummy!!!
What's more we can rest assured as Dr.Chen has helped to safeguard us from all the harmful chemical or heavy metal or pesticides residue yet made into such a convenient way!
For example, in the morning other than Nutrifresh, I always wanted to introduce greens into their breakfast but really don't know how. Now I can add Vegecolours into bread or waffle...
Now, let's zoom into the ingredients:
Look, amazing isn't it? All are in wholesome form, no additive at all!!!
On top of that, don't forget our manufacturer received Grade A Food Safety Excellent Award for consecutively 11 years!

Homemade waffles
Homemade waffles on this lovely Saturday morning.
As we know most of the on the shelf processed food including bread, cake, biscuit are actually contained lots of oil, meaning not so healthy.
So as part of my NI lifestyle, we now try to DIY as much as we can, at least we can choose the ingredients for example I will go for organic flour as it is not fortified with folic acid (as per what the shop owner told me).
And I guess I must have to thanks Dr.Chen, if without her I probably will still choose to buy food like bread, cake, waffles from the shop instead of baking them myself.
And only after get myself into baking, cooking, I realised that the amount of oil or butter, and salt being used are in fact quite a lot.
For example, a classic waffles - 3/4 of cup of oil is required for 2 cups of flour portion.
No wonder Dr. Chen has commented that modern diet contains too much of Omega-6 fatty acids due to vegetable oils.
Some parents asked me what's wrong with the oil.
Oil basically is high in Omega 6
Then what is wrong with Omega 6?
Omega-6 fatty acids are an essential nutrient, but excessive amounts will increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.

Omega-6 fatty acids are an essential nutrient, but excessive amounts will increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.
| This is one of the reason why people nowadays are prone to all sorts of diseases. Hence, it is important to increase the intake of Omega 3 to offset the Omega 6. But again do take note the Omega 3 has to be from plant for example kiwi seed and chia seed. http://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/search/label/cooking%20oil  I was a bit hesitate when knowing I need to add on 3/4 cup of oil, but anyway since E Excel blended cooking oil is high in Omega 3 so I can be rest assured to use it, but I reduce to half a cup instead. Do enjoy cooking or baking with the correct Omega3:6 ratio and high smoking point oil! Jinny 92963562 |
