Losing weight healthily

Obesity leads to many health issues, it's important for us to shred of the excessive fat to keep our body healthy

Obesity a time ticking bomb

If you want to have a healthy body weight, start counting your calories daily

How much calorie do we actually need a day? 

But how do we know how much calories that we have taken in already? 

One of a good app you can download to check for food's calorie is Healthy 365 

The app gives you good food database on all the calorie to give you a rough idea on how much calories that we taking in a day. 

Say for a lady who is age 31-50 at Singapore, with moderate activity, she needs approx 2000 calorie. 

Let's look at some example of the foods she takes

In the Healthy 365 app, you can find the calorie of those food easily

Example:

Losing weight can be simply by choosing a right food. 

Calorie of Chicken breast: 147

Calorie of deep fried chicken breast: 439

Do you see a big differences? 

Once a food is fried by oil, or go through oil the calorie will shoot up. One teaspoon of oil is 120 in calorie. 

Simply make a wise choice in our food, losing weight can be as simple. 

Let's look at calorie of some common foods

Weight management starts with making right choices with the food 

Here are some of the Superfood which is the best for losing weight healthily, without causing any side effects

Most importantly, we need to be a wise consumer to understand the ingredients, whereby some weight loss products lead to kidney failure. Read up more here

1. Soy bean

Protein from Soy simply convert the fats into muscle and speed up fat decomposition

2. American Ginseng

American Ginseng simply help to give energy while we are monitoring calorie intake, so we are less tired

3. Fibers

Fibers helps to give full filing and thus make us feel full longer. Overall, it gives us sufficient fibers to help to prevent constipation too. 

Of course, to lose weight, we must control our calorie intake too. 

If we are going to lose 1 kg a week, we must maintenance our calorie intake at 800 a day. So our body will convert the existing fats into calorie, thus clearing the storage. 

Similar to a house's storage. If our storage is full at the moment, we have to buy lesser stuff to put into the storage, and at the same time we use up the existing items in the storage to clear it all. 

4. Collagen 

Collagen is important too for weight loss. As when we loss weight, the muscle may becomes sagging. With the support of collagen, our skin and muscle will become more firm up

However, not all the collagen products can be taken safely. 

Letting our body to self produce collagen will not burden our body. 

Understand about Collagen, and how Cactus, Cactus fruits, Ginseng Berry, Seaweed, Rose, and Grape Seeds help to self produce collagen. 

As a convenience, I take 1-Shape/1-Shape lite and Oxyginberry as my high fibers, antioxidants and protein breakfast!

1-Shape and 1-Shape Lite is made of Soy Bean, Psyllium Husk and American Ginseng

As compare to many weight loss products which contains synthetic ingredients. Read up here

Oxyginberry is made of Cactus, Cactus Fruits, Ginseng Berry, Seaweed, Rose and Grape seed

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!

To keep te body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear

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.

The current approach on Zika virus is focusing on treating the symptoms. 

Can we use Antibiotic to kill the Zika virus?

Read up on Role of medication


Antibiotic cannot kill viruses. Therefore, they do not work against the flu, SARS and other viral infections. Antibiotics are drugs that kill bacteria and so can be used to treat pneumonia and other bacterial infections. 


Why is it so?

Virus can be worst than bacteria

How does Vaccine works for Viruses?

Until now, there is no cure for Zika Viruses, except nourishing our immune system, so it has ability to fight. 

Best doctor in the world, which is our Immune System, which has Tonsils, Bone Marrow, Lymph Nodes, Appendix, etc

Our immune system has Natural Killer Cells. Which produced in Bone marrow. 

Those with deficiency in NK cells proven to be easily developed in virus infection

Only via nourishing our Natural cells and our immune system, it will protect us from virus infections, including Zika, HFMD, SARS, Dengue, Chikungunya, or even normal virus infection such as cold.

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

Obesity, a time ticking bomb
