Super Lutein Goodness

The Japanese Association of Preventive Medicine for Adult Diseases (JAPA) have over 6,600 doctors in Japan with stringent guidelines for certification of natural remedies. More than 20,000 are sent to them annually for approval but only 20 are recommended. The criteria for approvals include:

1. All ingredients must be pure and natural without fillers or additives
2. There must be zero side effects towards the human body
3. Clinical test reports to confirm that the product actually helps the prevention of chronic diseases and cancer
4. Company not in debt, strong financial standing, without disputes with anyone and guarantees the continued quality of the products and the security of the production process
5. Approval for the quality supply of raw materials

And Super Lutein is a certified product, with numerous other certifications around the world. In Malaysia, Super Lutein has Halal certification and is registered with KKM (Ministry of Health) and approved as an over the counter product. It’s formulation also has patents in several major countries.

 

Super Lutein sold as a stand alone product for 8 solid years in Japan with increasing sales each year before Izumio was introduced.

 

Delivering 6 carotenoids, anthocyanin, DHA and Vitamin E to the body

SUPER LUTEIN is a well-balanced mixture of lutein, zeaxanthin, crocetin, ?-carotene, ?-carotene, lycopene, anthocyanin, DHA and Vitamin E.
The first seven ingredients are all phytochemicals: antioxidants that actively work to neutralize free radicals created through oxidation triggered by extrinsic and intrinsic factors on the body such as UV rays, blue light, air pollution and physiological stress. DHA is an omega(?)-3 fatty acid derived from fish oil, and Vitamin E is an antioxidant found naturally in various foods.
Ingested, the nutrients work alone and synergistically in combinations to help to maintain eye and skin health, prevent damage to vital organs and protect the body from illness.

Lutein + Zeaxanthin

Lutein by itself is found in the skin and retina of the eye; however, lutein and its coexisting molecule, zeaxanthin, are the predominant antioxidant pigments in the macula. Together they block UV rays and blue light from reaching underlying structures in the retina, thereby reducing the risk of light-induced oxidative damage that can lead to macular degeneration. They also work in combination with other antioxidants to neutralize free radicals produced by oxidation.

Lutein + Zeaxanthin + Anthocyanin (blackcurrant extract)

This triple combination contributes to providing the nutrition required by the eyes to maintain good vision, while anthocyanin by itself is known to contribute to improving blood circulation.

Lutein + Lycopene + Crocetin

This combination provides nutrition for maintaining healthy skin. Additionally, recent research suggests that crocetin contributes to managing skin inflammation caused by UV rays, and that consuming lycopene is a preventive measure against various carcinogenic diseases such as prostate cancer.

Lutein + DHA

DHA alone is said to improve blood circulation, reduce bad cholesterol count, support brain development and protect the ophthamalic nerve. The combination of lutein and DHA has been found in breast milk, which is said to contribute to infant eye, brain and cognitive development.

 

Super Lutein Authentication of Safety

Super Lutein has obtained U.S., Japan, Australia and European Union manufacturing patents. Beside this, Super Lutein has also obtained Japanese health food supplement GMP ( Good Manufacturing Practice ) and Japanese Omni-directional ISO 9001 and ISO22000 authentication, and become the healthy nutritious foods association’s members as well as recommended by the Japanese Association of Adult Disease Prevention.

Hydrogen Water Facts

My dear friend who introduced me to Izumio Hydrogen Water attended a seminar on hydrogen water in Singapore and later in KL a few days ago. She has jotted down notes from the seminar and shared them with me. Now, let me share with you the goodness of hydrogen water.

Hydrogen Water Facts

1. Even when a heart stops beating, Hydrogen gas can be administered in patients to resuscitate them or via Hydrogen through an IV drip.

2. Hydrogen water is used in Japan now in sterile treatments, for example, to increase probability of pregnancies.

3. Hydrogen water suppresses obesity, lowers body fat, glucose, insulin and triglycerides.

4. Hydrogen water suppresses accumulation of fat in liver.

5. Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease patients to consume 5 packets Izumio per day.

6. To lower cholesterol, one can drink 2 packets Izumio per day

7. People who consume a high fat diet should consume Hydrogen water to increase their life span.

8. For hormonal regulation, Hydrogen increases the good hormones while decreasing unfavourable hormones.

9. The negative thing about Hydrogen is that it allows one to drink more alcohol as it clears up a hangover instantly.

10. Hydrogen allows one to work longer hours because the body’s immunity is strengthened so you do not fall sick and can work longer hours (which could be a bad thing).

11. There is absolutely No Side Effects drinking Izumio Hydrogen water AT ALL. You could drink a whole box in a day and there will only be good reactions and zero bad side effects.

12. Conventional medicine or drugs work on a specific organ, to a specific operation towards one direction with some adverse effects
but Hydrogen works in most organs, with multi functions, with no adverse effects only good efficacy.

13. Hydrogen water in plastic/PET bottles actually have no hydrogen in the water as Hydrogen escapes plastic.

14. Hydrogen water in aluminium cans contain only 10% of hydrogen compared to Izumio as it is packed in a 4 layer aluminium non-permeable material allowing Hydrogen not to escape. The internal lining of the Aluminium is a food grade material that does not give contact between the Hydrogen water and the Aluminium.

15. Izumio Hydrogen Water has been declared safe to drink by the FDA, NASA and the strict Japanese Authorities, plus the authorities of countries where Izumio is available.

As testified by Dr Ohta, founder/researcher of Hydrogen as a powerful antioxidant.

The diseases shown in the image are those treatable with Izumio Hydrogen water

Healthy And Delish Grilled Chicken Drumsticks with Kafir Lime Leaves and Turmeric

I mentioned in my kids’ blogs that lately, I am hooked on using kafir lime leaves in my cooking.  I have used them in grilling fish and I have also used these unassuming fragrant leaves in grilling chicken.

To product flavorful meat right to the bone, cut diagonal lines into the flesh and stuff kafir lime leaves and all your spices into the flesh. Leave the meat, covered in fridge for several hours. Then grill at 180C for 10 minutes and 160C for another 10 minutes.

 

 

Together with turmeric (another powerful antioxidant and anti-cancerous spice), ground coriander seeds, garlic powder, sea salt and kafir lime leaves, I whipped out a batch of lip-smacking chicken drumsticks that tasted very much like deep fried chicken drumsticks sold in Indian restaurants!

 

A batch of 10 drumsticks is good for 3 meals – dinner for 4 of us, lunch for Cass and me the next day and school recess break for Sherilyn the next day.

This is Cass’ lunch, consisting of smoothie of the day (orange + apple + mango), pumpkin toast with butter, hard-boiled free-range chicken egg, cool kyuri and cherry tomatoes.

Just another hearty and wholesome meal from the heart for my sweetheart 🙂

IZUMIO – Antioxidant Hydrogen Water

In my own observation of Cass, I am pretty certain that there is no hidden anatomic abnormality in her urinary tract.  The urology surgeon that she is seeing suspects that Cass may be having a hidden duplex kidney on her left kidney (the good kidney) or a hidden triplex kidney on her right duplex kidney. Sounds mind boggling? Yes indeed.  That is why the surgeon has been pushing us to have Cass go through a Cystoscopy Scan and CT Scan to see what’s going on inside of her urinary tract.  Cass is born with such a complicated urinary tract and right kidney!

Going through with Cass all her hospital visits and UTI attacks since birth and having to cope with her incontinence make me feel like I have gone into a large washing machine where the both of us have been tossed and spun non-stop.   But tough and determined as she has always been, Cass will overcome all odds.   Her urine leakage problem is just getting better by the day, thanks to Izumio hydrogen water and not forgetting God.

For the past few days, Cass has been telling me that she pees a lot in school.   She could actually feel the urge to pee and I am very glad!  This is just a sign that her muscles and nerves have woken up from a coma!  Before consuming Izumio, she hardly had the urge to pee as her urine will be leaked into her diaper or pad.

My chronic fatigue is also a thing of the past now. These days, I hardly need to nap during the day, though I only have a max of 5 hours of sleep each day. And I tend to have energy bursts throughout the day… which helps me to accomplish more things!

Before I took the plunge to spend over RM5k on Izumio and Super Lutein, I had so much reservations on the products.  Now, I have so much confidence in them. If only everyone could afford it, you should try the products if you have been battling with a disease or disorder and want a natural approach to have it treated. The products are expensive but it helps to explain that these are very high quality products and will not only heal but prevent health from further diseases in future that could amount to much more in medical expenses.

If Cass, who has such a complicated disorder which even her doctors are baffled and don’t really have an answer to her disorder but can get so much improvements within just a week of consuming it,  there is really no doubt that hydrogen water heals our internal organs.  In fact, I started to see a positive reaction on the 2nd day Cass started consuming Izumio, amazing!  I can vouch on it as Cass and myself are our living testimonies.  I am totally sold.

 Izumio Hydrogen Water

Izumio contains the highest dissolved hydrogen concentration using water which is the major content of human body to transport large volume of Active Hydrogen to reach every cell to remove Free Radical.

Sweet Facts On Bitter Gourd

Bitter gourd is another staple food in our household.  We cook bitter gourd in a variety of interesting ways from the usual bitter gourd omelette to bitter gourd soup, stir-fried bitter gourd with pork slices, braised bitter gourd chicken, stir-fried bitter gourd with fermented soy bean or black bean and juicing with bitter gourd.

Of the 3 girls, only Sherilyn is not bitter over bitter gourd. She loves them!

Funnily, though Cass does not fancy bitter gourd, she loves pork noodles cooked with bitter gourd, except that she will single out all the bitter gourd slices and chuck them onto my bowl.

There’s this stall at our neighborhood coffee shop that sells really delish pork noodles with bitter gourd.  It is my must-have bowl of noodles for breakfast on Saturdays, along with my favorite glass of pumpkin barley cooling drink.

 

 

Food For Thought (information extracted from diabetes.co.uk)

Bitter melon, also known as bitter gourd or karela (in India), is a unique vegetable-fruit that can be used as food or medicine.

In addition to being a food ingredient, bitter melon has also long been used as a herbal remedy for a range of ailments, including type 2 diabetes.

The fruit contains at least three active substances with anti-diabetic properties, including charantin, which has been confirmed to have a blood glucose-lowering effect, vicine and an insulin-like compound known as polypeptide-p.

These substances either work individually or together to help reduce blood sugar levels.

It is also known that bitter melon contains a lectin that reduces blood glucose concentrations by acting on peripheral tissues and suppressing appetite – similar to the effects of insulin in the brain.

What other health benefits does it have?

Bitter melon is used in traditional medicine for:

Colic
Fever
Burns
Chronic cough
Painful menstruation
Skin conditions
It is also used to heal wounds, assist childbirth and, in parts of Africa and Asia, prevent or treat malaria and viral diseases such as measles and chicken pox.

In addition, researchers from Saint Louis University in the US say they have shown that an extract from bitter melon can kill breast cancer cells and prevent them from growing and spreading.

Passionate About Passion Fruits

My passion in passion fruit was unleashed during my holiday in Lake Toba,  Indonesia with my mother circa 1992.  In Indonesia, passion fruits are called Markisa.  We were served Markisa juice everywhere that we went to — from the hotel to the restaurants and on board the plane.

Since then, I have always bought passion fruits. I like them eaten in any way – straight from the fruit, made into cocktail,  juice,  smoothie, ice-cream,  fruit tart, passion fruit swiss roll and passion tea.

Passion fruits are   very affordable local fruits. But we very careful when you scoop them out from the shell. Once, I almost chowed down some worms when I spooned out the  fruit from the shell. Thankfully I looked closer when I thought I saw something squirming within the seeds, ewwww! Since then, I have always scooped the fruit out into a bowl to do a spot check before I pop them into my mouth! Better be safe than to have wriggly worms breeding in your guts!

Yesterday I made passion fruit smoothie. I  used 3 oranges, 1 green apple and 2 passion fruits and added pure orange + apple + apricot juice to produce 4.5 glasses of thick smoothie.

So refreshing and aromatic!

 

 Health Benefits of Passion Fruit:

1. Promotes intestinal health

2. Cardiovascular benefits:

3. Asthma attack:
A current scientific study stated that passion fruit is an extremely powerful remedy for asthma victims. The peel includes a group of substances which includes chemicals, acids and several various other ingredients which can supply a little bit of alleviation to the asthma sufferers all over the place.

4. Treats Insomnia   

5. Kills Cancer:
Research workers in the University of Florida have discovered that yellow passion fruit extracts can easily kill cancer cells within vitro. The phytochemicals which can be liable for this particular anti-cancer effect usually are carotenoids as well as polyphenols.

6. Reduces Anxiety

7. Antioxidants
Passion fruit is abundant with vitamin C, an anti-oxidant which safeguards you from the harm free-radicals cause, avoiding premature aging as well as keeping the immune system powerful. Along with 71 milligrams for each cup, one serving provides you with all the vitamin C you’ll need every day. Additionally, it provides you with 10 % of the foliate you will need. Vitamin C as well as foliate are water-soluble nutrition which gradually turn out to be exhausted right after harvest. A freshly-picked passion fruit is a lot more nourishing than one which has been saved as well as moved, so get passion fruit from the farmers’ marketplace whenever possible.

8. Contains Iron which relieves anemia

9. Great Dietary Aid for Weight Loss
For all those watching their body weight or even attempting to lose weight, fruits are definitely the suggested culinary food. However the passion fruit appears to be created for a fat loss diet. It really is lower in calories, just 97 calories for each 100 g! It can be lower in sodium as well as fat. It provides a fair amount of carbohydrates as well as natural sugars, therefore the body of a human recovers rapidly from the exercise as well as energy levels are rejuvenated. The fruit’s nutrition focus on cholesterol-reducing levels within the body. In addition, the high fiber content indicates a serving of the fruit satiates your hunger as well as keeps you full, so that you do not overeat on various other food items.

10. Has Relaxation Effect
A tall cool glass of passion fruit juice might help unwind your nerves as well as your mind, causing you to really feel relaxed. This particular juice can also be recommended for digestive problems and enables along with indigestion as well as gastric problems.

Symptoms Of A Body Detox

About a week after I started taking Izumio hydrogen water and Super Lutein, I started to have rashes on my right arm. The rashes first erupted with an itch, followed by a layer of bumpy rash on the surface of the skin. I knew that the rashes are one of the symptoms of a body detox, where the body will eliminate toxins from within.

Initially, I could not understand why the rashes appeared only on my right arm – not left arm and not anywhere else. Then it suddenly dawned on me that only my right arm was problematic! I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) on my right hand when Alycia was only 2 months old. The CTS went away  a few months later (coincidentally) when I was taking antibiotics for severe bronchitis. But the CTS has now appeared in another form – hand numbness with pins and needles. Every single morning. It is so bad that on some mornings, I could not even lift my arm up.  See how intelligent the products work. They will heal the part of the body that requires repairing.  Though I still have pins and needles on my right arm now, they are not as intense as it used to be. I am curious to know how long I need to consume the products before my hand is totally healed.

Cass displayed more extreme detox symptoms. A week after taking Izumio hydrogen water (3 packs a day), she experienced leg pain, headache, mild body aches, watery stools and sore throat.  The symptoms lasted for about 3 days. Then I began to see positive reactions in her urine leakage problem. Within a week of taking Izumio, she could be diaper-free at home – all the time during her waking hours!   Previously, she was on diapers / sanitary pads all the time.   However, she still needs to wear diapers when she is in school and when we are out. I will gradually move to the 2nd Hurdle and 3rd Hurdle set out in our Target Chart where we will have to work on getting her to hold her pee when she exerts energy to do strenuous activities and simple things like coughing and sneezing.  Cass told me just now that she wanted to try to wear just a panty when we next go out for lunch / dinner.  That’s my girl – ambitious and determined!

My right arm with bumpy patches of rashes.  They broke out yesterday.  The rashes are drying up now.

 

Symptoms Of A Whole Body Detox
When you begin to detoxify, the cells in your body start to eliminate toxic substances. However, before they make their final exit, the toxins are released into the bloodstream then carried through the circulatory system and this may result in other physical symptoms.  Some of these symptoms include body aches and pains, cravings or withdrawal, nausea or vomiting, clogged sinuses, constipation or diarrhea, coughing, fever, flu or cold-type symptoms, bad breath, gas, headaches and stomach aches. Toxins are often eliminated through the skin as well and this can result in acne, rashes, or other skin issues. All of these symptoms do not occur for everyone, but it is at least good to know what to expect ahead of time or what others sometimes experience during a whole body detox.

Irritability and Moodiness
A whole body detox can cause excessive irritability and moodiness. It is actually the toxins in the body that cause this problem in the first place. Detox symptoms are simply manifestations of the body’s self-cleansing and self-healing process to get rid of toxins. When you begin the detox, all the toxins get pulled out of your system so the irritability and moodiness can become much worse before they get better, though it will only be for a short period of time.

View it like cleaning a house. In the process of cleaning, everything becomes more messy and cluttered than before you started cleaning. But in order to enjoy a clean house you have to deal with the messiness in the cleaning process. Likewise, in order to help with irritability and moodiness, you have to get past the beginning phase of the whole body detox.

Fatigue
Fatigue is another common symptom of a whole body detox. This includes having a lack or even loss of energy. The severity of this symptom depends on what your lifestyle is like before the detox and how quickly you make the change into the detox.  If you more gradually start a detox and prepare your body ahead of time, you will not be as negatively affected by symptoms.

Other Physical Symptoms
When you begin to detoxify, the cells in your body start to eliminate toxic substances. However, before they make their final exit, the toxins are released into the bloodstream then carried through the circulatory system and this may result in other physical symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:
body aches and pains,
cravings or withdrawal
nausea or vomiting,
clogged sinuses,
constipation or diarrhea,
coughing,
fever,
flu or cold-type symptoms,
bad breath,
gas,
headaches
stomach aches.
Toxins are often eliminated through the skin as well and this can result in acne, rashes, or other skin issues.

All of these symptoms do not occur for everyone, but it is at least good to know what to expect ahead of time or what others sometimes experience during a whole body detox.

Day 18 On Izumio Hydrogen Water For Incontinence

From soaking a 42cm long pad with wings up to the panty after only just 20 minutes, Cass can now hold her urine for over an hour! I am so proud of achievement. She is setting the target for herself. Everyday, she diligently sets the alarm to an hour. The moment the alarm rings, she goes to the toilet to pee, willingly. Previously when she was on diapers, she would be lazy to pee in the toilet, knowing that she has the diaper to hold her pee. When she’s in a foul mood, she would get really bolshie, to the extent that I had to use corporal punishment on her. Just to get her to pee. I was really depressed and so was she. These days, I am less stressed up as Cass holds the fort. She times herself, goes to the toilet to pee herself, washes up and then sets the alarm again – all on her own.

Just a week ago, her ‘test’ was to hold on to half an hour. This week, she is holding on to over an hour and not a drop of pee leaked out!

I have set a Target Chart for Cass, as follows:

Hurdle 1 – hold on to pee, to an hour. She passed this with flying colors as she can exceed an hour. Kudos to my baby girl!

Hurdle 2 – hold on to pee and start doing strenuous activities like running and jumping without leaking. We are still working on this. When her bladder has just been emptied, she can do all these but when her bladder is full, she will leak a drop or two upon jumping. It’s ok. Baby steps…

Hurdle 3 – go out without wearing diaper. This is a challenge. This would also mean that we can only go to places with clean toilets and with toilets easily accessible. I am still planning on how to go about doing this.

Hurdle 4 – this is the real challenge! Going to bed without wearing a diaper. I guess I will save this for the long school holidays, where I do not have to wake up at 4:45am to prepare the girls for school. We will also have to let her sleep on a mattress on the floor with lots of water-proofing. I may have to sleep next to her to wake her up to pee.

For now, I will not try to be too ambitious. After all, it is only 2 weeks that Cass started consuming Izumio hydrogen water for her incontinence. I am confident that over time, her muscles and nerves will get stronger, as with her cognitive ability. I am already very thankful to Izumio and also to God that finally, the muscles and nerves ‘woke up from a coma’ and start to work again. Now, it is rehab time.

Flavoring Food With Turmeric and Health Benefits

Turmeric is an amazing root spice that not only adds so much flavor and color to your dishes.  Turmeric is also one of the world’s healthiest food, used thousands of years ago.

Turmeric is a spice that I almost never fail to use each time I marinate meat for grilling in the oven.  For fish – I like it that the intense flavor of turmeric masks the fishy odor.   And for chicken, it just adds so much yummyness to the dish.

The other day, I whipped up an aromatic turmeric and garlic chicken chop dish.

 

The kids loved it!  Sherilyn quickly saved a portion of the chicken for her to bring to school for recess the next day.  Here’s her lunch box for recess the next day, which I reheated in the microwave oven (yes we finally bought a new microwave oven, solely for reheating purposes!) .  I packed some cherry tomatoes for her and gave her a pack of Izumio hydrogen water.  What a wholesome, sustaining and balanced meal, perfect for kids and adults.

 

 

Health benefits of turmeric:

1. Wards off Alzheimer’s disease

2. Helps to prevent cancer

3. Reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes

4. Combats inflammatory diseases

5.Fights colds and flu

6. Helps indigestion and weight loss

7. Assists diabetes sufferers

8. Can tame heartburn and an upset stomach
