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!

Everything you need to know about Collagen

What is our first impression when we heard about Collagen? 96

It's good for skin!
It's preventing wrinkles
It's gives elasticity to skin!!!
etc etc etc

Does collagen only works for skin?? NO, the scope is much larger. Total there are 28 types of collagen. Here are the 5 main types
















Collagen is indeed very important, However, according to research, our body stops producing collagen at the age of 25, some even earlier.



What happens when our body doesn't have enough of collagen?



Definitely, without collagen it affects our skin greatly. Besides, it affects other parts of body as well






Other issues will start to surface:

- Such as joint issue, osteoarthritis, whereby collagen type II is needed to glue the joints
- Calcium and osteoporosis, whereby we need collagen to lock the calcium
 - internal organ sagging, as there's no collagen to support internal organ
- Hair loss due to unhealthy scalp
- spreading of cancer cells, given that collagen is needed to prevent the metastasis
- Stroke, given that we need collagen to strengthen the blood vessels, and make it to be more elastic
- Transparency of our eyes

Given that collagen is so important, market are flooded with collagen supplements

Can collagen be replaced in the body? Let find out from this article (You can zoom in to read up more)











In Summary, Can we take animal's blood or organs to replace into our body?
If we can't, then how can we replace animal's collagen such as fish collagen and pig collagen in our body? 


How do we know if a collagen product is belongs to replacement therapy?

Make a guess, what is the collagen source of these collagen products?

Yes, both are replacement from Marine Collagen (Fish, or other types of marine creature)





















How to Self Produce Collagen?


By Taking food with high antioxidants, and high phytochemicals, our cells will become younger.
When our cells are younger, we can self produce collagen automatically.

With that, our body knows where our body need to have collagen, and it will produce collagen at the necessary area.

Oxyginberry vs Collagen Products

In recent years, collagen products have been actively linked to the topic of ANTI-AGING. Many beauty companies have introduced a wide range of collagen products for those wishing to stay young, have smooth skin etc. The response and feedback from most collagen users, however, is that collagen only gives short term results. Once stopped, skin rapidly returns to its previous condition within a few weeks. The reason for this is collagen breaks down easily, especially under direct sunlight. This is why constant supplementation is necessary. 

Is it wise to spend money for such short-term results when a long term investment is needed?
Collagen is not well absorbed into the body when taken orally as it has been proven clinically that the body is incapable of absorbing direct intake of Collagen. One way to get around that is to take it by the vein (intravenous). Are you prepared to do that- inject yourself daily?
Synthetic collagen marketers want you to believe that there is no difference between naturally occurring collagen and synthetic because the synthetic are easier to produce and thus carry a much higher profit margin. It is that simple. It is the triumph of profits over health and most consumers including doctors have unknowingly bought into that value system.
Your education of the supplement industry up until now. You have been told that majority of supplements are nature's own ingredients. But the sad truth is that in the case of commercially mass produced collagen, they are synthetic hormone or animal placentaMost collagen will be destroyed during our digestion process.
Your supplement manufacturers maintain that this type of synthetic collagen is identical and just as effective as the naturally occurring collagen produces in our body . They are not.
Scientists have never successfully created an orange from scratch in a laboratory!
Likewise, neither can scientist create synthetic nutrients that exactly duplicate or replace naturally occurring collagen we need in our body.
Oxyginberry is perfect for anyone who:
·      Wants to take a pro-active step to maintain good health, beauty and longevity

·       Is looking for the ultimate antioxidant protection for the immune system to stay young and healthy

·      Work or study, is the perfect solution to help improve concentration and boost memory

·      Wishes to detoxify the body from the harmful effects from pollutants, smoke, alcohol, caffeine and drugs

·      Desires a deep state of rest during sleep and increased energy and vitality

·      Is serious about protecting their skin and improving its appearance; to diminish signs of aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles

·      May be exposed to an increased amount of free radicals, i.e. those who live in urban areas, smoke or work around chemicals, exercise frequently, eat a diet of processed foods, or has been or is still frequently exposed to sunlight.

Read up how my friends are benefited from Oxyginberry (OB), which is helping our body to self produce collagen.

How OB helps in Skin and improves bowel movement 




Helping in more firming up of internal organs including breast :)


Skin to be fairer and better complexion



And improvement in joints

How to have a hearty heart, and preventing stroke or heart attack? 

By consuming following plant food, it will nourish your liver and heart, thus prevent from all these diseases!

1. Fiber up with psyllium husk


1. Rich source of phytosterols like beta-sitosterol and stigma sterol. Studies have shown that psyllium husk can lower total and LDL cholesterol, helping to reduce heart disease risk. 

2. High fiber content aid weight management. The dietary fiber can help lower total cholesterol levels in the body too. The soluble fiber (form a gel-like substance on intestine) helps lower blood cholesterol levels by slowing down the absorption of cholesterol through small intestine. it helps clear away LDL cholesterol. 

** important to note that fiber will NOT inhibit the absorption of vitamins and minerals. On the contrary, it enhances the absorption of minerals. 

The human body requires around 20-35g of dietary fiber daily for sufficient nourishment. 

For reference:
Apple with skin = 2.8g only. 

Per 100 g food
Pysllium Husk = 78 g fiber 
Chia Seed = 38 g fiber
Oat = 11 g fiber
Whole wheat bread = 7 g fiber
Broccoli = 3 g fiber
Orange = 2 g fiber 
Banana = 2 g fiber 
Strawberry = 2 g fiber
White Rice (Cooked) = 0 g fiber
2. Bean up with Soy

Help lower LDL (bad) cholesterols and increase HDL (good) cholesterols, thereby promoting heart health. 


3. Cactus and Cactus Fruits



High anti-inflamation properties helps to reduce inflammation in the blood vessel. 

- Contain proline and taurine. Proline aids in collagen formation, atherosclerosis prevention, and tissue repair. Taurine helps to combat heart disease, protect against diabetes, lower high blood pressure and decrease anxiety. 

- Cactus extract helps to decrease cholesterol and triglycerides level, reduce LDL (bad) cholesterols, prevent high blood sugar level, stabilise diabetics' blood sugar level, promote cardiovascular health.

Beware of the DHA and EPA in baby milk powder, is it synthetically made or natural?


As advocated by Nutritional Immunology, being natural and wholesome is important to strengthen our immune system.

However, there are a lot of advertisements to encourage mummies to get the baby milk powder fortified with DHA and EPA. Do you know how does those DHA and EPA made from?

Extracted from articles from Mercola



http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/04/01/gmo-infant-formula.aspx

In summary from articles:

How Did Unapproved Ingredients Make it into Baby Food?

Martek's DHA and ARA products are synthetic attempts at omega-3 fats that have been in the U.S. marketplace since 2002, and in organic products since 2006. They are chemically extracted from certain types of algae and fungi that have never before been part of the human diet, and have never been approved by the USDA. Yet they have made their way into your baby's bottle.


GMOs, Lies, and Petrochemicals
  • Martek's synthetic oils are extracted using a toxic petrochemical solvent called hexane – a process that's just about as NON-organic as you can get

  • Undisclosed synthetic ingredients, prohibited for use in organics (including the sugar alcohol mannitol, modified starch, glucose syrup solids, and "other" undisclosed ingredients)

  • Recombinant DNA techniques and other forms of genetic modification of organisms; mutagenesis; use of GMO corn as a fermentation medium

  • Heavily processed ingredients that are far from "natural"
Your Body Knows These "Nutrients" are Fake

Although DHA and ARA from real foods are indeed important nutrients, the synthetic versions are not even remotely the same. They are foreign to your body, and to your infant's body, which is why many babies are having terrible adverse reactions.

The Perfect Formula for Diarrhea, Vomiting and Gastrointestinal Pain

The Cornucopia Institute has compiled a summary2 of hundreds of adverse reports submitted to the FDA about possible intolerance to DHA/ARA-supplemented infant formula. Including,


  • Severe gas
  • Diarrhea and vomiting
  • Gastric reflux
  • Constipation and bowel obstruction
  • Agitation, fussiness, crying, and severe distress


  • Given a choice, which will you choose? and which you think it's Natural?

    Are you into Cold Pressed Juice Cleanse also?

    Saw a very interesting article on Cold Pressed Juice Cleanse, that's getting very popular recently. Seems like it's selling everyday like hot cake.

    - The 18 bottles required in 3 day cleanse, each containing 500ml of juice, typically cost around $240-$300 or more, depending on which retailer you buy from and whether organic ingredients are used

    - A 300ml bottle of organic juice will set you back by $9.80 while a 500ml bottle costs $16.30 (usually single ingredient)

    - But a juice only diet is devoid of valuable dietary fiber, which normalises bowel movement and helps to control blood sugar levels.


    What about the ingredients like this, Organic and Non-GMO. How much do you think it will be?

    Cactus, Cactus Fruits, Ginseng Berry, Rose, Seaweed and Grape Seed

    If I tell you it's $7.8 per day, yet with dietary fiber, it's not only for cleanse, but it enhance the ability for our immune system to Defense, Cleanse and Repair, isn't it better?

    Cactus in the supermarket

    Went to my usual morning grocery shopping, and ta-da saw cactus here!

    Not cheap though, 1 piece of cactus is selling at min $3.5, and they are recommending 2 pieces per day, since cactus doesn't have much juice!

    Beside the cactus, they recommending boiling the cactus as soup. Again, we know that phytochemicals afraid of it, boiling it meaning destroying the nutrients.

    Best way to eat is to remove the skin, and add a bit of lemon or honey then eat it raw.

    Alternatively, we provides a convenience here!

    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.
