It's not enough to say that a certain food is "good for your health".
Today all of us want to go beyond that to know why a certain fruit or vegetable is beneficial for us.
What nutrients does it have?
Which parts of my body does it nourish?
These concerns are reasonable because our diet does affect our health, as we are what we eat!
Moreover, each fruit and vegetable is unique in its combination of antioxidants, phytochemicals and polysaccharides. In many cases, the nutritious parts of plants not only include the fruits, seeds and leaves but also roots and flowers, such as ginseng and chrysanthemum. It is wonderful how we can find nutrition in the most unlikely of places.
Now, let's understand the precious yet expensive, Cordyceps that has been acclaimed for ages and its myriad health benefits.
So read on, be amazed by the power of nature!
So what is Cordyceps? It's a finger-shaped, capless mushroom, one of the most valued mushrooms. In Chinese is also known as "Dong Cong Xia Cao" (Winter Worm, Summer Grass) or "Cong Cao" in short, due to its fascinating life cycle. And why is that good for you, especially the young and elderly in the house?
Cordyceps is one of the most valued mushrooms. In Chinese is also known as "Dong Cong Xia Cao" (Winter Worm, Summer Grass) or "Cong Cao"
Long, long ago...
Cordyceps sinensis was first discovered by yak herders in the Himalayas of ancient Tibet & Nepal. They observed their yaks became more energetic after eating Cordyceps. The yak herders took the Cordyceps back to their tribe. After eating the Cordyceps, found their stamina improved and they suffered less from respiratory and other illnesses. The fame of Cordyceps sinensis spread quickly throughout China. Thereafter, this rare and precious mushroom was used exclusively in the Emperor's palace due to its rarity.
In 1993, Cordyceps catapulted to international fame when 3 women's track-and-field world records were broken at the National Games in China. One athlete broke the previous world record for the 10,000-meter race by an amazing 42 seconds. The coach attributed the wins to the athletes taking Cordyceps sinensis during training. One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition tested the energy and endurance of 110 healthy, but sedentary adults. Half took Cordyceps sinensis daily, while the other half took a placebo. After 12 week, the Cordyceps group could cycle 2.8% further than they originally could, while the placebo group decreased the length of their rides. Recent studies provide an explanation for this. They reveal that Cordyceps improves exercise performance by increasing the ration of adenosine triphosphate (a molecule that stores and release energy in the muscle) to inorganic phosphate (a major cause of muscle fatigue) in the liver by 45-55%.
Cordyceps becomes a nutrient powerhouse because of its synergistic effects of its polysaccharides, cordycepin, cordycepic acid, adenosine, amino acids and ergosterol.
So why is Cordyceps is highly sought after? It's due to its amazing array of health benefits!
Immune System - The Best Doctor in the World!!!
Activate sluggish immune system
Calm it when it's overstimulated
Improve both immune and autoimmune disorders including cancer and lupus
Cordyceps shows significant improvement on lupus disease too!
Immense potential to preventing spread of cancer, fight against cancer & delay the spread of cancer cells
Strengthen immune system of people who have undergone radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or surgery, or long-term illnesses
Alleviate some side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, such as bone marrow and intestinal injuries, leucopenia (an abnormally low number of white blood cells) and pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lungs that makes breathing difficult).
Beneficial for liver fibrosis (accumulation of tough, fibrous scar tissue in the liver that can impair liver function)
A healthy immune system is able to perform 3 major functions - Defence, Cleanse & Repair
Energy & Stamina
Improve oxygen utilisation, as shown by a test on 30 healthy elderly patients
Improve the function of adrenal cortex - helpful for people who suffer from chronic fatigue
Increase resistance to stress, balance body functions
Provide calming effect on nervous system
Increase energy and vitality
Cordyceps is superb to boost the energy and stamina for us, especially for athletes!
Heart
Prevent atherosclerosis
Reduce viscosity (thickness) of the blood, decreasing the number of platelets that can get caught in the plaques
A study done to coronary heart disease patients who were given Cordyceps sinensis daily for 3 months, they showed a significant drop in blood viscosity and a 21% drop in total cholesterol
Increase the heart's strength, slow the pulse, raise the amount of good (HDL) cholesterol, reduce the amount of bad (LDL) cholesterol
In a clinical trial, the condition of patients suffering supraventricular arrhythmia (a form of irregular heartbeat) & complete blockage of the right branch of the cardiac nervous system improved after taking Cordyceps sinensis after 3 months
It's important to strengthen your heart to pump more blood supply that in turn bring the oxygen and nutrient throughout the body
Lung
Beneficial for asthma
Help in chronic bronchitis
Significant increase in lung function - fewer brochial spasms, cough spells and incidences of airway resistance, more breathing capacity.
Lung is one of the important organs for our respiratory system. See how complex is the lung?
Kidneys
A premier "kidney tonic"
Help Chronic Kidney Failure (CKF) patients
Help in overall kidney function.
In short, Cordyceps is a all-rounder wonder with such immense health benefits! Cordyceps sinensis truly deserves its great reputation for invigorating the lungs, nourishing the kidneys and supporting the immune system for overall vitality and general well-being.
Wild Cordyceps sinensis is still highly prized and priced today because of its difficult harvest process. Found only at altitudes of 14,000 to 21,000 feet, it must be harvested during the monsoon season, and can only be identified with eyes close to the ground.
Because Cordyceps sinensis is wild and cannot be artificially cultivated, it's rare and expensive herb since ancient times. The continuous supply of Cordyceps sinensis becomes a concern...
Good news! One of the latest breakthrough for Nutritional Immunology is we have successfully cultivated Cordyceps mycelium (a growing stage in the life cycle of Cordyceps sinensis). Of the over 400 species of Cordyceps, only about 10 species have nutritional value. And the nutritional value differs greatly among these 10 or more species. Beware of the unscrupulous sellers that add large amount of lead to Cordyceps mycelium to increase the weight and boost profits! Only Cordyceps mycelium hat has been authenticated by authorities is reliable for its premium quality and nutritional value.
Cordyceps mycelium has an astounding array of polysaccharides and many other nutrients that are highly beneficial to health, it's as wonderful as Cordyceps sinensis, and most importantly we can have a continuous supply for the young and elderly in the house, as research shows that the benefits of using Cordyceps increase over time, the longer the person take it, the more their health conditions improve.
Now, understanding the astounding health benefits that Cordyceps poses, let's look at the price of Cordyceps in the market.
Source: A local reputable health tonic shop. The most premium Cordyceps is $550/ 9.2g
I compared it with Celebration, one of the Nutritional Immunology special formulation, which is made of precious yet unique food synergy of Cordyceps mycelium, Cactus & American Ginseng!
Celebration - 30 sachets of 18g each = 540g
Having Cordyceps as the 2nd largest ingredients in Celebration, guess what is the price of Celebration?
You can see it on the box package itself, it's $455 for retail price!
For member, you save another 25% more, which is $364 for 30 sachets, a month supply!
Isn't that the price very reasonable and valuable? I feel truly blessed to have the Celebration as a convenience for our hectic lifestyle! It's not only unique (food synergy), effective and most importantly it's safe. It's manufactured in Singapore, it has got the Food Safety Excellence Award Grade A from Singapore AVA, for 14 consecutive years!
Congratulations to E. Excel Singapore to have received the 14th Food Safety Excellence Award Grade A! Consumers can have a peace of mind to invest in the series of E. Excel food products for them and their families!
Not forgetting Celebration also has Cactus (King of Plants) plus American Ginseng (King of Herbs) in it too!
Kids love Celebration too (",)
How did I benefit from Celebration? I started taking Celebration in Celebration of Excellence (COE) set in March 2012, towards the last 3 months of my 2nd pregnancy. So, both me & baby got nourished at the same time! Now I recalled as for me, I was still able to walk fast and steadily (as per normal person) and my girlfriend used to say - how come you can walk faster than me, as if you are not pregnant at all? And sometimes I carried some heavy stuffs and walking around easily and relaxingly too. And another girlfriend made a remark - you didn't look like a preggie that was going to deliver soon!
This photo was taken on the day of delivery @ TMC, before I was admitted to labour ward.
And as for my son, it has laid him a solid foundation while in the womb itself, he is now 4 years old, totally free from medication as well as doctor's visit! He only goes for compulsory vaccination and milestone development assessment, that's all his doctor's visit =) Isn't that the greatest gift and reward for a parent? As do you agree, Healthy Children = Happy Parents?
This is my E. Excel baby, started receiving the Nutritional Immunology food products nourishment, while in my womb itself! It has laid him a solid strong foundation for his growth and development!
