Super Foods for Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the most important milestone in our life!

When come to pregnancy, do you agree with me SAFETY is the utmost priority in our mind?

How to ensure the personal care / toiletries mummy using is SAFE?

How to ensure the food mummy eating is SAFE?

even topics like can mummy go near to microwave, using mobile phones and etc....

Other than SAFETY, next is the NUTRITION.

We are what we eat, so provides the correct nutrients to ourselves and our little one inside us is equally important too!!!

For me, I am blessed that can get to know about the science of Nutritional Immunology, so I know how to ensure both the SAFETY & NUTRITION are well taken care of.

First step:

Make sure these superfoods are in your diet 😃.

Concurrently : how to ensure the nutrition sources are safe for consumption?

So do read till the end!


1. Protein

Protein is best to obtain from wholesome plant - which is SOY.😃

Soy is high in protein and has no cholesterol. Soy isoflavones can reduce serum cholesterol levels and help prevent coronary heart disease. Soy also contains several phytochemicals that have anti-carcinogenic properties. In addition, soy isoflavones have proven to be effective in the prevention of osteoporosis. It also contains a tetrapeptide that can speed up fat decomposition to aid in weight management. In addition, soy alleviates menopausal symptoms.

Compared to animal proteins, plant proteins such as soy protein are more easily absorbed by the body. Plant proteins provide the body with essential nutrients but with less fat and fewer calories. Besides, soy is rich in phytochemicals to effectively boost immune functions. The American Diabetes Association hails soy as the ideal source of protein for diabetics as soy does not burden the kidneys. Soy protein is a plant protein. Hence, it does not contain any animal hormones or fats, making it the healthier choice.

Soy Protein	Animal Protein
·   Low in calories.	·   High in fats and calories.
·   Easily broken down and absorbed. ·   Does not burden health.	·   The human body cannot break down     animal protein effectively. ·   Excessive consumption burdens and     damages the liver and kidneys.
·   Easily digested. ·   Does not cause allergies.	·   Difficult to digest. ·   May cause allergies.
·   Cholesterol-free.	·   High in saturated fats. ·   High in cholesterol. ·   Long-term consumption may increase     risk of diseases including     atherosclerosis, fatty liver, heart attack     and even cancer.
·   Can increase bone density and     enhances calcium retention. ·   Research shows that replacing     animal protein with soy protein can     lower calcium loss by 50%.	·   Excessive consumption increases     calcium loss from the body. ·   Increases risk of osteoporosis.

As we know that due to the modern lifestyle eg. taking more dairy products or meats in order to get more protein and calcium, however this nutrition misconceptions has causing more and more complications happen during pregnancy such as hypertension, gestational diabetes and etc.

So if not animal based protein then what?

Soypro is the perfect sources of PROTEIN, CALCIUM, FOLIC ACID & MINERALS & VITAMINS that a pregnant mummy or kids ever needs.

Soypro is a daily nutritional beverage formulated upon the principles of Nutritional Immunology. It is rich in soy protein, which is easily absorbed by the human body. Soypro is also ideal for those avoiding animal protein. Made with an assortment of healthy plant foods, Soypro nourishes the body with phytonutrients. Soypro has no cholesterol and is low in fat and calories (about 60 calories per package). As such, it is suitable for those who need to monitor their weight, cholesterol level and cardiovascular health.

Likewise for preggy mummy - to avoid overweight and also gestational diabetes.

Be a wise consumer - just compare the ingredients between milk powder VS Soypro ingredients - I am sure you will know which to go for.

This is fresh milk ingredients

Formula milk powder ingredients

 This is Soypro - wholesome soy + Jilin ginseng!

2. Iron

Iron is an essential part of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells to make energy.

There are two major sources of iron in our food: heme iron in meat (especially liver), fish and poultry, and nonheme iron in legumes, grains, fruits and vegetables.

Iron from meat or pills may lead to overdose, is high in cholesterol and fat, and is rapidly absorbed regardless of the body’s needs. Iron from plants, on the other hand, has no risk of overdose, is cholesterol-free and low-fat, and absorbed according to the body’s needs.

Side effects of iron pills include constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dark colored stools, abdominal distress, and increased oxidative stress from overdose. In children, death has occurred from ingesting 200mg of iron.

Those who should not take iron pills include postmenopausal women and people with hemochromatosis, which causes excessive absorption of iron, leading to a build-up of excess iron in organ tissues.

VEGAPLEX capsules are a source of vitamin B₁₂ and wholesome plant foods that provide iron and phytonutrients. They are made from ABM mushroom, Maitake mushroom, acerola cherries and blueberries. VEGAPLEX is suitable for vegetarians and those who want to enhance their absorption of vitamin B₁₂ and iron.

VEGAPLEX has the following benefits:

• Zero cholesterol and fat.
• Lower in calories.
• Rich in healthful phytonutrients.
• More fiber.
• No additives.
• No risk of iron overdose or side effects.

 3. Omega 3 fatty acid

Children and infants need omega-3 fatty acids. DHA is found in the brain in large quantities and is important for neurological development and growth. The human body can convert ALA into DHA.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human cell membranes. They help reduce triglycerides (fats in the blood), lower blood pressure and prevent atherosclerosis, thereby promoting cardiovascular health and a stronger immune system, which, in turn, helps reduce inflammation and allergic reactions. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids promote better learning and cognition, playing a key role in early childhood development.

Hence, Omega 3 should come from wholesome plant like Chia Seed and Kiwi seed.

Chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. It is also rich in flavonol glycosides and chlorogenic acid, which help combat free radical damage and nourish the immune system. Kiwi fruit seeds are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and contains about 62% ALA. Kiwi fruit seeds are also high in tocotrienols, which help lower cholesterol, prevent atherosclerosis, and combat free radical damage.

O-SEED is made from chia seeds and kiwi fruit seeds. O-SEED is suitable for vegetarians and those who do not like the fishy taste or burp of omega-3 fish oil supplements.

What benefits does O-SEED have over fish oil supplements?

O-SEED has the following benefits:
• Rich in ALA, an omega-3 essential fatty acid found ONLY in plants.
• No fishy smell and aftertaste.
• No risk of toxic contaminants.
• No unpleasant side effects associated with fish oil supplements, e.g. diarrhea, abdominal bloating, nosebleeds.
• Fish oil may interact with medications, e.g. blood thinners, aspirin and high blood pressure drugs.
• An overdose of fish oil can lead to increased risk of stroke and cancer.
• Will not deplete vitamin E.
• Zero cholesterol.
• Lower in calories. One O-SEED capsule has 2 calories. One tablespoon of cod liver oil has 122 calories.
• Has healthful phytonutrients.
• Eco-friendly. Does not use blubber from endangered species of whales and seals. Dolphins may end up in fishermen’s nets with tuna, which is used in fish oil supplements.

4. Disease Fighting Nutrient & Collagen

Last but not least, we need to build up our immunity and lay down a solid health foundation of our precious one since they are inside our tummy.

It is important to include Oxyginberry/Rosytime as part of pregnancy diet as well.

Oxyginberry/Rosytime helps our self produced collagen which is very important to keep us younger & healthy. Our uterus needs support too, all depend on muscle strength and level of collagen inside us.

Do not go for the oral replacement collagen or placenta, it may sounds fantastic, however what about the side effects? As SAFETY is utmost priority.

With younger immune system, our body will perform defense - against bacteria/virus infection, cleanse - toxins we get in touch day in day out and repair!

5. Safety of toiletries

http://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2014/09/tests-find-more-than-200-chemicals-in.html

** no stretch mark on tummy**👏👏👏

Moving forward, we do not need to rely on stretchmark cream. With the food synergy from these 6 immune super food, we are preparing ourselves very well for the pregnancy.

Look at this mother to be, no stretchmark at all! With the wisdom of NI, she has safeguard her baby from all harmful chemicals substances and at the same time lay down a solid health foundation.

Wisdom is indeed` priceless.

6. Product Safety

Product safety has become a major concern for consumers. In recent years, you hear about products that have been recalled back due to safety issues eg the baby milk powder, instant noodles, and many more. After many incidents of food poisoning and contamination that cause health hazards, consumers become wiser. Consumers not only concern about the products effectiveness but they look for quality and safe product.

http://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2014/09/food-safety-issue.html
https://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2015/10/the-greatest-assurance-for-consumer.html

Just bear in mind that wholesome plant has all the nutrients which our body needs.

So, instead of taking synthetic pills, we encourage you to take an orange as orange is wholesome.

The message today is we encourage you to eat wholesome rather than giving synthetic vit n mineral, or chemically extracted. There’s a no way synthetic/man made can substitute wholesome.

At the same time, we must learn to be a wise consumer. Take note on the product safety.

Healthy french fries recipe

Healthier French fries for JY and JX with macadamia nut oil and Vegecolor powder :)

Almost every kids like French fries, but as parents we know it's not so good - 1st of all due to the cooking oil - omega 6 too high. As such kids easily get sore throat or coughing after eating fried stuff.

http://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2014/12/how-to-choose-healthy-cooking-oil.html

So I always wanted to make healthier French fries for both gals.

Today blessed enough, I finally found a perfect recipe :)

First, I used organic potato.
Soak in cold water for 5mins, dry well then sprinkle with macadamia nut oil (Omega 3: Omega 6 ratio 1:1 - super healthy :)).
Then used Air Fryer to fry for 10mins.

To make it even healthier, I sprinkle on vegecolours - 28 types of freeze dried vege powder.
Instead of using ketchup, Vegcolor is tasty enough to be the flavouring :)

They finished it within 5 mins :)

I am so happy to be able to cook them the French fries with the cooking oil and vege powder which without any preservatives!!! and low in Omega 6!

Feel free to contact me if you want to find out more on the macadamia nut oil or vege powder.

How to recover from Bell's Palsy in 3 weeks!!!

Most of us might not have heard of a condition called Bell's Palsy and might even mistaken it as stroke due to its similar symptoms. The recovery progress is rather long and frustrating as described by a friend of mine. Below is her experience and journey when she was struck with this condition.



Sharing on Bell's Palsy :

I was struck with Bell’s Palsy in March this year, it was an extremely unpleasant experience which I would never ever want to experience it ever again.

During that period, I google a lot as I hope to find out more about Bell’s Palsy but not many I could find especially for the cases in Singapore.

That’s why I decided and agreed to let Jinny share about my Bell’s palsy journey as maybe it could help someone out there.

Here you go:

While I was meeting my friend at NEX on Thursday afternoon, I noticed that my left eye was a bit tighten kind of feeling, I thought it’s time to change my monthly contact lens.

But before that, I was down with flu – where I have a feeling this time the flu was quite serious type.

On that night itself, I felt a sharp pain in my right eye when I was washing my face and hair. I didn’t know what happened and went to bed as usual without thinking too much.

On Friday morning, I started to feel something was amiss. I can’t gargle my mouth as I can’t close my mouth properly and my right eye was in pain again when I washed my face. I then looked into mirror and to my horror I noticed right side of my face seems not under controlled.

I told my husband about this and was wondering if it could be symptoms of mild stroke? But after google, it seems unlikely. Anyway to play safe, I went to visit a GP.

After diagnosed, it was confirmed that I had Bell’s Palsy – where facial nerve was injured due to infection.

Anyway the doctor still refer me to neurologist and asked me to take steroid. I asked doctor why I need to go for neurologist and what can neurologist do for me. His answer was just to double confirm it’s Bell’s palsy and not other infection, and most likely steroid will be given also to treat the inflammation.

I thanked the doctor for his advice but I didn’t followed his instruction to take steroid and go for neurologist. Just google on the side effect on the steroid and you will know why I refuse to take.

With my knowledge in NI, I know I need to nourish my immune system so that it will carry out the repair function which i needed now so I chose NI food instead.

As I mentioned earlier, I did lots of research on Bell’s palsy, basically Bell’s Palsy is nerve injury due to infection. That’s why traditionally doctor will prescribed steroid to stop the inflammation first. http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/20050316/why-steroids-are-bad-for-you

By understanding the root causes and advice from Jinny, I chose:

1.       Millennium instead of steroid, as cactus has very high anti-inflammatory ability. The phytochemical known as beta-sitosterol in the cactus helps to prevent wound from being inflamed.

2.       Orchestra and Oxyginberry as Ashitaba and Ginseng berry can helps greatly in nerve repairing to promote the nerve growth factor.

As doctor said it will takes days or even months to recover, I google it and most of people in fact takes months or even longer to fully recover. Symptoms usually start to improve after about 2-3 weeks, and have usually gone within two months. In some cases, it can take up to twelve months to recover fully.

In some cases, symptoms do not completely go. Some weakness may remain for good. However, it is often a slight weakness of part of the face and hardly noticeable. It is uncommon to have no improvement at all; however, some people are left with some degree of permanent facial weakness.

Throughout the period, other than my face drooped, I had inconvenience from eating, drinking, gargling, my eye was very dry and pain and kept tearing and I have speech difficulties too. I have to tape my eyes at night. For those who has experienced Bell’s Palsy you will know what I am talking about.

I am really thankful to the NI super food, as I fully recovered within 3 weeks with NI food. It was a very scary and humbling experience. I can’t even performed my normal life routine eg. , I need to patch my eye as my eye can't close completely, I can't drink water properly, I can't chew or eat properly – I felt humiliating . And I don’t know when I will recover. And of course I never ever expected that to be happened on me as we used to take our health for granted.
In the nutshell, don't take health for granted and start practicing healthy lifestyle with NI.

Blessed that we have the best doctor in the world - our immune system.
Blessed to have Dr.Chen, without her, we will never know precisely on how to eat right and what are the best nutrition that are nourish our best doctor in the world.
 

Feel free to PM me if you wish to find out more how NI food helps in Bell’s palsy.

https://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.com/2014/06/so-what-is-nutritional-immunology.html

Journey of a mother finding solution for her son who has eczema and asthma.

I was truly touched by a selfless sharing by a mother who has greatly benefitted from the science of nutritional immunology. Below are the details of her sharing.

“Imagine as a mother I can’t even kiss my own son, when he was a new born baby. I can’t even touch his face. Everytime I touch his face, he started get irritated and scratch his face very hard and that hurts me a lot.”

 https://www.dropbox.com/s/j9v8j11pumn9wmi/Eczema%20sharing.wav?dl=0

I am here today because I would like to share my experience with you on why I chose Nutritional Immunology.

I grew up in Canada. I’ve been working in finance field for 4 years in Canada before I moved to New York, and worked as finance director for 13 years there.

It’s a busy lifestyle, I worked around the clock. Over the years, I realised my health deteriorating very fast, as I worked harder, and of course achieve more money, I want to make sure that my family is financially secure, have enough money where I can provide healthy food for my family to stay healthy.

I am a mother of two, daughter and son age 7 and 3.5 this year. After I gave birth my younger son, I realised my health is deteriorating even faster.  As a mother and working mother full time, I felt that my time has been stretch between work and my family. I have to make sure they go to school properly, I have to make sure that they have enough nutrients and when they get sick I need to attend to them as well.

Just to share my personal story on eczema and asthma. Before I moved to New York, I have been pretty healthy in my teenage years. Since I worked in finance field, I worked very hard. I started to have allergic reaction to food, many things, even household items. It irritates me, as my skin is itchy and rashes.

I started questioning myself what is happening to me, I didn’t have allergic since I was born. I started to have it when I am busy, when I am weak. My son also inherited the same allergic. He scratch himself very hard. Imagine a mother I cant even kiss my own son, when my baby was born. I can't touch his face. Everytime I touch his face, he started get irritated and scratch his face, and that hurts me a lot.

So I go everywhere to try to find any solution to solve this issue. I went to Chinese medicine, try holistic approach even herbal medicines. Until I came across this allergic specialist in New York through a referral.

I went to him hoping to find a cure for my son and myself. When I go to him, he told me that there’s no cure for eczema and asthma. My heart just sank, I was so sad. How come I tried everything, go to anywhere I could. I changed my lifestyle, changed all my household cleaners to as natural as possible and still cannot cure my son.

So I asked him what am I supposed to do.

He told me that eczema or asthma is just due to our body immune system reaction to harmful environment. Because of our modern lifestyle, we live in an environment full of pollutants, radiation where we used microwave, the convenience we have in our lifestyle we have now, we can’t avoid the air we breathe, many things, even the water we drink, when we eat out, we can’t always ensure the quality of food.

So our body is reacting to that. And I believe truly, as when we were born, we all born with a healthy immune system. That explain why I didn’t have allergic when I was young, it’s out of sudden when I am busy.

The doctor also asked me do you know that why I become a very famous doctor? Do u know why everybody has referred me?

He told me that every patient he has, he don’t want to see them again. He just want them to refer to him so that he can help as many as possible.

That surprise me, so I said: if u said u don’t have any cure for eczema/allergic, then why you become an allergy specialist.

He said: Do u know why, the best doctor in the world is actually our immune system. It’s not me.

Then I said how to boost our immune system.

He said it’s through our food, ourselves.

He asked me: Do u realise when u sick, that’s when your eczema flares up. Do you realise when you are weak, your body has allergic. When we are stress, when we sick that’s when our immune system is down and we have all the problems. And things like steroid is just temporary solution and not supposed to take forever.

So I said I am not supposed to rely on medication. He said yes. Once we bring our immune system back to optimum level, it will do whatever it supposed to do.

The only way is to change our lifestyle, as we are what we eat. I believe in that truly.

So when I met my neighbour, she mentioned to me her children seldom sick as she gives proper nutrition and there’s food supposed to boost our immune system through nutritional immunology.

I got truly interested in what is that to boost our immune system as I’ve been searching all over the world for the solution and I can’t find the answer.

Through NI, I believe all the wholesome super food is the solution for my son and myself.

Now, instead of steroid cream I gives him rose cream which I know it’s very safe for him, and no side effect as steroid cream will makes his skin thin.

And I have been coughing for 5 years, non-stop, I cough everyday and my husband get irritated as well. Taking medication, Chinese medication nothing cures me, and eventually doctor gave me stronger and stronger steroid. But still can’t cure my cough.

Now I know I just need to keep my healthy lifestyle, boost my own immune system, enough sleep, exercise everyday. I really thank you my neighbour for introducing me nutritional immunology, and I cant help to share this science to the people around me.

Thanks Ayrin for the selfless sharing on her eczema and asthma experience. Indeed, our best doctor in the world is none other than our immune system.

We just need to practice NI lifestyle, NI food as a convenience to nourish our immune system to stay healthy.

Feel free to contact me if you want to know how to stay healthy through Nutritional Immunology.
