Why I choose Elemente brand for my household items?

I believe most of the people choose a brand of shampoo, hair wash, tooth paste, skin care, or even cosmetic based on advertisement? Instead of understanding the ingredients.

That was me earlier!

However, after understanding more about Nutritional Immunology. I realized that being a wise consumer is very important. I am able to be wise consumer in reading labels when it comes to my external application products.

So why Elemente? Definitely - Safety is the key

1. MSDS testing. Which majority of skin care or cosmetic may not go through the similar testing.

2. Tooth paste that is free of triclosan, fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate and abrasives. And that's safe even for baby to prevent them from swallowing.

3. Purity and safety of raw materials.

Doesn't contain impurities of ingredients like below:

4. Choosing a quality raw materials that's safe. and free of below:

5. Strong NI education that allows me as wise consumer

6. Effective!

Preventing Broncitis with Nutritional Immunology

Lately has been seeing a lot of story about bronchitis, and for the acute case it could be deadly.

Let's understand more about bronchitis.

It's a inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, which usually coming into either acute form or chronic form.

Acute bronchitis - 90% of them are due to virus infection, only 10% of them are caused by bacteria infection.

Chronic bronchitis - Chronic bronchitis usually develops due to recurrent injury to the airways caused by inhaled irritants, e.g. pollutants or smoking.

Most of the case for kids, the bronchitis occurs is acute one. But do you know how to differentiate whether it's due to bacteria or virus?

Bacteria - more complex organisms. If it's bacteria infection, the mucous we are seeing is green/yellowish, in color.

Virus - non living. If it's virus infection, the mucous we are seeing is transparent in color.

Next, mother always ask. I will get doctor to give me antibiotic and that will resolve the problem. Isn't it the case??

Antibiotic doesn't kill virus






















For the case of bronchitis, do take note if it's due to virus or bacteria infection and leading to inflammation.

Do take note on the side effects of the medication used for bronchitis also.

The US FDA has warned against misuse of antibiotics, stating that "bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections are remarkably resilient and can develop ways to survive the drugs meant to kill or weaken them. This antibiotic resistance is due largely to the increasing use of antibiotics."

Some NSAIDS (non steroid anti inflammatory drug are used to stop the inflammation too.

There is nothing better than our own Immune System to fight against the root cause that cause the bronchitis and stop the inflammation.

So how to let our B cells to fight against those invaders then??

Best is to nourish our immune system with more phytochemicals, antioxidants and polysaccharides.

How to different a healthy or bad oil?

Saw a very interesting article on the cooking oil.

http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/health/story/5-cooking-oils-whats-healthy-and-what-isnt-20140714

monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat,  saturated fat

Does these term sounds familiar? So what to look for in a oil?

On top of the type of the fat, we do have to take look at the Omega 3 and Omega 6 ratio. The lower the Omega 6:Omega 3 ratio the better, as Omega 6 is the factor that leads to inflammation.

Out of all, if taking about lowering cholesterol and preventing cardio diseases, macadamia oil is so far the best, with the ratio of 1:1!

How Phytochemicals help in diseases prevention including Cancer

Phytochemicals - These are commonly found in all fruits and vegetables and that is the main reason why we have to take more fruits and vegetables. The best doctor in the world, which is our immune system needs phytochemical, anti-oxidant and polysaccharide.

 

Phytochemicals are chemicals that are produced by plants to help them from UV free radical damages. These beneficial chemicals block various hormone actions and metabolic pathways that are associated with the development of cancer.

 

Many phytochemicals have been shown to provide protection against malignant cell growth, look at few examples:

• Sulforaphane, a phytochemical exists in the cruciferous vegetables can activate the Phase II enzymes in our body to destroy cancer causing substances.
• Genistein, a phytochemical exists in Soy prevents the growth and spreading of tumours by cutting off their oxygen and nutrients supplies from capillary blood vessels.
• Indole-3, a phytochemical exists in broccoli and berries helps to break down cancer causing estrogen into harmless form.
• and many more..

Phytochemicals is very beneficial when it's coming through wholesome food source, as it doesn't cause any side effects. Unfortunately the same can't be said for chemically processed phytochemical supplement, like Genistein pill which may easily cause burden to liver and kidney as our body needs to perform additional steps to recognise them.

 

Orange contains 100+ types of phytochemicals, Aloe Vera contains about 300+ types, and cactus contains up to 10,000 types of phytochemicals. Given a choice, cactus will be very beneficial if we are able to take it into our diet.

 

I will share more on my diet to make my stay healthy and stay fit.
