And many other news like this





There are plenty of weight lost products available online. Often, people are looking for immediate result, yet neglected the safety of the products. Health is being jeopardized because of quick result and marketing gimmicks. 

I am blessed that through the Nutritional Immunology education, I learn to be wiser consumer to read label before I select any food. 


Let's look at some of the common side effects of the diet pill



These are the common drug name. However there are many products which are claimed to be "Natural" just by label "Natural", 'Traditional Herbal", and it gives false impression to consumer that herbal products is normally safe. 

Recently, one of my friend who passed me this label

Again, it's written there Traditional Preparation.Looking at the ingredient label, it doesn't seems anything wrong as it looks "Natural"However, when I checked further, it's actually a laxative, due to the ingredient Follium Cassia Angustifollia


There are other improper weight loss method which we need to be aware as well, for healthy weight management








Always be a wiser consumer, learn to read label

Given both ingredient label below, Which will you choose? 

The one above or below? Why?

I choose the one below, as it's wholesome and natural

The one above contains ingredients which I don't understand much
