Cactus and Cactus fruits in Millenium

Cactus has been the king of plant for many years!

It's one of the Superfood

Let's look at what's so powerful about Cactus?

"Cactus grows in deserts, growing in such a harsh environment requires strong survival skills. 

It's thick waxy stem stores precious water and nutrients. The older the cactus, the more nutrients it has. It takes many decades to grow. Unlike Aloe Vera, which takes only eight months to ripen, the precious cactus fruit is extremely rare and difficult to cultivate. 

Cactus has evolved over thousands of years in its struggle to capture life giving water and survive in the desert. Its prickly exterior protects an amazing store of nutrients waiting to be discovered. Scientists are working hard to unmask this natural wonder with unsurpassable capability"

Let's look at the benefits future

 

 

With more than 10,000 types of phytochemicals, it makes the powerful Superfood to work wonder in nourishing our immune system. 

To provide a convenience to public, Millenium, has high concentration of Cactus and Cactus fruits. 

We can prepare Millenium ourself, by buying cactus from supermarket, removing the thorns and skin, and then eat the flesh fresh. 

I have tried, but it takes me too much times for preparation. And for 1 packet of Millenium, at least 2-3 pieces of Cactus needed, which is equivalent to about $10. I choose to go for Millenium given the safety, saving my time, and more value for money compared to self prepare. 

It comes in liquid and power form. 

How I prepare my Millenium beverage 

If you any questions on the beverage, feel free to whatsapp or pm me. 

Cheers!

Why rebound after losing weight?

Rebound happens when there is toxins accumulated in our body

No Round happens when toxins is removed from our body already

That's the reason why Cleansing is so important day to day. 

Where does toxins come from various part of our organs

1. Lung

2. Skin

3. Gut/Intestine

External Toxins include

Free radicals such as pollution from food center, buses or car

Medicine

Smokes

Harmful chemicals from our household products

Pesticides from fruits and vegetables that we eat

Preservatives, Additives, Coloring in our processed food

Radiation from our handphones, computers

Bacteria/viruses that we encounter daily

Many others  

Internal Toxins includes

Cancer Cells

Fats/Cholesterol deposit

Death/damaged cells during metabolism

Constipation which leads to the toxin accumulation at intestine

Urine Acid affecting joints

Acidic condition in our body

With all these toxins in our body, the more we need to regularly do cleansing to keep ourself healthy.

When we do regular cleansing, the fats won't be stored in body to keep the impurities and toxins, thus weight loss becoming very easy, and we won't keep facing rebound issues. 

There are many weight loss methods which focusing on just losing water, or increasing the metabolism. Instead of cleansing the impurities.

Is EExcel/Elead Healthy Fast Food Safe to be consumed in long run

Dear friends, 96

Lately, there are friends asking me if it's safe to be consumed EExcel food in long run, but how do we know if a food is safe to be consumed for long?

These are criteria which help me to evaluate

1. Firstly, I will simply look at the label, if there is anything that I don't understand, aka synthetic ingredients.

For synthetic ingredients, such as Ascorbic Acid, Beta Carotene, these are being made synthetically in lab, you can read up further on following article on where does the source come from

http://www.precisionnutrition.com/all-about-vitamin-supplements

In the past, no doubt vitamin have safe a lot of people, such as how vitamin save life from scurvy disease. 

Let's look what are the common side effects of vitamins

Read further here

http://immunesuperfood.blogspot.sg/2014/03/are-you-still-taking-vitamin.html

Why I choose EE food is simple, because it's wholesome food, which is in freeze dried form

2. Food safety tests from manufacturer. 

 Let's look at the food contamination issues that we have been seen so regularly in newspaper, since 1880 until to date (I didn't load the entire list, as there are too many incidents)

The recent incident are GOS compound in infant milk powder, which causes those babies who has the allergies, eczema, asthma to be worsen 

Read up:

GOS in baby milk powder

Another one affecting most staple food, which is the Glyphosate in Quaker Oat

As a food manufacturer, quality control is very important, any careless handling in raw material can easily cause health hazards 

For EExcel, since 1987, they have placed safety as first priority

Raw ingredients and final packaging are being tested before it's being rolled out for consumer

Let's look at what are the safety measure taken

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) which is a basic and stringent guideline for all pharmaceutical (drug) companies to comply to in order to begin production. It emphasizes product quality, hygiene and safety during production processes. However, it is not required for food manufacturers.

E.Excel manufacturing plants are proud to announce that they have obtained GMP certification to maintain their high quality and safety for 25 years.

Multiple safety tests are also conducted.

1. Comprehensive Microorganism Tests (Bacteria E.coli, Salmonella spp, Yeast & Mold etc) on raw materials, production processes and finished products to ensure product safety.

2. Heavy Metals Tests (Mercury, Copper, Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium) to ensure products are free from these harmful component contamination.

3. Pesticides Tests on raw materials to ensure crops are not polluted by pesticides in water used for irrigation or from neighbouring farms.

4. Poison Tests on 1822 different types of poisons including narcotics (eg. cocaine), steroid drugs (eg. cortision), banned drugs (eg. Fenfluramine) and human growth hormones.

5. Microscopic Test on raw materials for foreign objects like dust, hair, wires.

6. Finished Product Testing to detect accurately objects like metals, glass, plastics, stones, hairs in the products.

7. Stability Testing on finished products to ensure a product's quality does not change during the validity period stated on the product's label.

Additional unique specific tests are also conducted for certain products.

1. Gene modification tests conducted on Soy. Besides organic ingredient, E.Excel uses only non-genetically modified soy that is high in protein.

2. Antibiotics Tests done on all honey, royal jelly and pollen to ensure no presence of antiobiotics before use in production.

3. Caffeine Tests on Aromantic and triflora for caffeine content of green tea leaves to ensure green tea leaves selected are of lowest levels of caffeine.

4. Melamine Tests. E.Excel is proud to announce that melamine has never been detected in E.Excel products.

5. E.Excel processes ginseng immediately after harvest and hence does not go through sulfur-smoke process which will cause serious harm to health.

6. Careful selection of packaging material to meet international safety standards.

Safe and Clean Production Environment based on the below aspects to prevent contamination of raw materials, production processes and packaging to ensure product safety.

1. Humidity

2. Dust

3. Temperature

4. Bacteria

5. Water

6. Automated Production

Read up my article on list of pesticides and poisons testing that company does to ensure the safety. 

How safe is Organic Food?

Read up more below

Watch the video on how the manufacturing plant at Shanghai works

3. Safety Aware by Government agency 

For many food products out there in the market, there are many awards for food products from various company, such as Star Product Award, Most Revolutionary award, etc. 

For me personally, I will put emphasize on Food safety related test, as this is something that we will consume

E.Excel food manufacturing Singapore has received FOOD SAFETY EXCELLENCE AWARD (Grade A) from Singapore Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) for consecutive 10 years! Congratulations!

fAVA Food Factory Grading Scheme was introduced to encourage food manufacturers to achieve excellence in food safety. Since E.Excel products are wholesome plant foods, NOT vitamin supplements/ medicine, hence E.Excel factory's safety is regulated under AVA Food Factory Grading Scheme, not Health Sciences Authority (HSA).For more details about which health products under HSA regulation or AVA regulation, can refer to the below link:http://www.hsa.gov.sg/publish/hsaportal/en/health_products_regulation/complementary_medicines/product_tree.htmlUnder the AVA Food Factory Grading Scheme, food factories are categorized into 4 grades: A, B, C, D based on their food hygiene and food safety standards. Grading criteria cover aspects such as structural designs, process flow, cleanliness and hygiene practice, as well as implementation of quality assurance systems, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) and food safety training for staffs.Hence, everyone can rest assured to consume E.Excelfood products including pregnant ladies and infants & children.Fore more details about the AVA Food Grading System, you can refer to the below link:http://www.ava.gov.sg/NR/rdonlyres/A912E1E8-9384-46C0-A065-A91514FEF44B/13066/Attach1_GuidetoFoodFactoryGradingSystem1.pdf
4. E.Excel food are not base on replacement therapyHow does replacement therapy works?  Means that when our body lack of certain component, we will replace it from external sources. Most common example will be, 

• When we lack of collagen, we replace it via collagen from animal (Fish collagen), or synthetically made
• Read up more: http://immunesuperfood.blogspot.sg/2015/07/can-collagen-be-replaced-in-body.html
• When we lack of glucosamin, we replace it from glucosamine which is made of shelf of lobster, crabs or shrimps and replace it into our body
• When we lack of certain hormone, most common during menopause. We replace it with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
• When we lack of good bacteria, we replace it with probiotic products , instead we should be taking more right amount of fibers to let our body to self produce good bacteria
• Read up more: http://immunesuperfood.blogspot.sg/2016/05/is-probiotic-really-safe-for-your-health.html
• and many many more, such as fish oil, enzyme etc

When we keep replacing these into our body, it will cause dependency in the long run. Thus causing more health hazards. 

We can simply look at why there are more and more people taking supplements, yet, diseases rate is getting higher. 

It's utmost important to be a WISE CONSUMER
