After 3 years of hiatus due to covid , finally Nutritional Immunology learning with Dr Chen is finally resumed!
This round, with more enriched and fruitful learning on Nutritional Immunology. Ticket was fully sold less than half an hour when it was launched, it was indeed a hard to get ticket.
One of Important learning: 科技无法战胜大自然 ( Technology cannot defeat nature ）
With the advancement of technology, we often thought of products of technology is always better, but mother natures (God's made) has it's wisdom in having all things in place.
Such as an Orange (God's made ) vs Vitamin C (man-made)
Such as Kale, Acelora Cherry (God's made) vs Iron Pill (man-made)
Such as Soybean (God's made) vs Calcium Pill (Man-made)... etc etc
and many other examples
All man-made things tend to bring along with side effects.
Such as overconsumption of Vitamin C, post a risk of increase amount of oxalate in urine, and more shockingly, vitamin C pills are linked to DNA damage in the body, which contributes to cancer.
For calcium pills, it increases the risk of heart attack by 30%
It's again proven to us, Mother nature has all the wisdom :)
What Nutritional Immunology advocates are simply to more disease fighting nutrients in our diet, especially Phytochemical, Antioxidant and Polysaccharide. This is perhaps very lacking in our day to day diet.
Join me to Dr EE Nutritional Immunology session on 29th July (10am - 5pm) in English, if you wish to learn more.
What will you do when you have acne? It's one of the common issue during puberty or even after.
Tried different facial and skin care?
Visit facial salon?
Take antibiotic or medicine given by doctor to control the hormone?
I am blessed that I am able to help my friend in improving his acne condition, simply by nourishing the immune system with the right Superfood, Oxyginberry and Orchestra
Weiyang has tried multiple methods, from salon, skin care, to antibiotic, all you can name of.
Due to his work nature which required to work night shift in the past, the liver is always affected, which also affect the hormone in the body
The research suggest a stronger measures are needed to prevent people from consuming chemicals called Aristolochic Acids (AA), which are derived from woody vines of the aristolochia plant family.
AA components can be found in some traditional Chinese medicine that are given during childbirth, to prevent parasites and promote healing.
Where you can see Aristolochic Acids?
While many would prefer TCM, however as a consumer, among Plant Food vs Traditional Chinese Medicine, which would be safer in longer run?

As a consumer, how should we choose a healthy cooking oil? The biggest concern now is, most oil are high in Omega 6, causing inflammation. Which leads to most diseases
So How to choose a healthy cooking oil? Main Criteria to look at 1. Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio
2. Smoke Point
What are some misconception that we need to take note for selecting a healthy cooking oil?
Let's listen from Dr Chen in her sharing
I have made a summaries on misconception from her sharing, you can look at the snapshot here. You can listen to the video to understand more!
1. Some oil are being labelled that it has went through refinery process to increase the smoke point
Is it really true?
2. Can we reuse the cooking oil?
Most food that we are taking outside are mostly cooked with re-used cooking oil to save cost.
3. When you are deep frying chicken with cooking oil at home, you see bubble in the oil after a while.
Why the cooking oil in fast food chain never get bubbled although they deep frying food all day long?
4. Why the chicken/food that you fried at home turned brown very soon, yet the french fries/chicken at restaurant never get golden brown when leaving there?
Sodium acid pyrophosphate is being added
5. Will oil spoil? Especially when we fried chicken (any meat)
6. Why the fast food oil can be used for more than few days to 1 week and the oil never spoilt?
This preservatives is being added, a component in the lighter!!
Side effects of TBHQ?
Although the amount is lesser than the regulated amount. However, because of the re-using of the oil, it gets concentrated.
Additional tip to Choosing cooking oil
What about Coconut oil?
Let's look at the Straits Times article published earlier.
The best oil in the market is made from Macademia, and Perilla with the criteria on smoke point and omega ratio.
For me I choose the E.Excel Blended cooking oil, with the mix of Macademia and Perilla seed for best convenience, with no preservatives and chemically added.
Irregardless of which oil, as long as they are oil they are high in calorie. Any teaspoon of any types of oil contains 120 calorie!

Always be a wiser consumer
You are what you eat
To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear
