Why OXYGINBERRY for Diabetes?

Recently, one of the hottest topics in town is on DIABETES as shared by the PM during the National Day Rally.

Today 1 in 9 Singaporeans has diabetes 😱
So how to prevent ourselves and our loves one to be part of the statistics?
Even my male friend, who is only in his 20s starts cautioning about diet and Diabetes!
This is very encouraging!
As prevention should start only when we are healthy, we aim to stay healthier when we are healthy, aren't we?

So why DIABETES is so scary?

As it could lead to a lot of complications! Just to name a few of Diabetes Risks:
🔺Affect circulatory system due to the high blood sugar level in the blood stream
🔺Increase risks of stroke and heart diseases
🔺Lead to amputation if wound can't heal
🔺Cause glaucoma cause of high pressure in eyes that may lead to blindness

I would recommend to add on OXYGINBERRY for diabetic people, why?

As Oxyginberry is made of 6 precious unique wholesome superfood ingredients -
GINSENG BERRY, CACTUS, Cactus Fruit, Rose, Seaweed, Grape Seed!

GINSENG BERRY poses enormous health benefits!
Normalise blood glucose level.
✅ Improve pancreas's sensitivity to receive insulin.
✅ Decreased weight by reducing appetite & increasing activity levels.
✅ May aid weight loss!

CACTUS
✅ Superb for inflammation.
✅ Speed up healing - diabetic patient may take long to recover from a cut/ injuries.
✅ Decrease blood glucose

As a overall, Oxyginverry stimulates our own production for collagen which is important for:
🔸Give elasticity to blood vessel that help to prevent stroke and heart diseases
🔸Good for eyes 👀
🔸 Give elasticity to the intestines (with self produced collagen) to aid digestion and absorption of fiber!

Besides, diabetic patients have to adopt a fibre-rich diet too and there are other wholesome superfood that a diabetic patients should include in their diet too to reverse the diabetic condition!

Read more about other wholesome superfood ingredients for diabetes from my other blog post above.

Fantastic sharing from Christine, where her mum's blood sugar level dropped from 21 to 5-7 normal parameters, congrats to her mum for being a wise consumer to chose to nourish the best doctor in the world, instead of medication 👏👏💪

With one wisdom to adopt NI Lifestyle, together we can stay away and fight DIABETES!!!

What You Do Not Know About Omega-3?

Omega-3 fatty acids
  • an essential part of cell membranes
  • promote heart health by reducing triglycerides (fats in the blood), blood pressure and atherosclerosis. 
  • regulate immunity by reducing inflammation and allergic reactions. 
  • significantly aid the brain in learning and cognition
  • play an important role in babies’ growth.

There are various sources of omega-3 fatty acids, but not all are good for you. 
Please read on and make an informed choice!

Due to water pollution, some species of fishes and other marine life are contaminated by high levels of mercury, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other pollutants, thus making it unsafe to obtain omega-3 from fish or seals.

Oil from fish liver, in particular cod liver oil, has excess vitamin A and D content, it may contain more poisonous substances as the liver is a filtering and detoxifying organ. Fish oil can also reduce vitamin E levels, either by preventing the absorption from one’s diet or exhaust vitamin E in the body.

Fish oil may 
  • increase total blood cholesterol and prevent blood clotting, through interaction with medications, such as blood thinners, aspirin and high blood pressure drugs. 
  • Overdose can lead to increased risk of stroke and cancer
  • Large amounts can also increase LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Not all plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids are safe. For example, flax seed has a good omega-6: omega-3 ratio, however, experimental studies have raised concerns that it may be unsafe for unborn children when taken by expectant mothers. Flax seed may also worsen hormone-sensitive conditions, such as breast, uterine and ovarian cancers. Soft gels of oil including flax seed oil usually contain glycerine as an additive. Glycerin may be derived from animal fats, vegetable fats or petroleum and may contain more calories.

Making the right choice!!!
The 3 major types of omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

ALA is the foundation of omega-3 fatty acids. It is an essential fatty acid. This means our body cannot make ALA; it must be obtained from food. Most people do not get adequate amounts of ALA. The human body can converts ALA to DHA and EPA.

ALA is found in Plant sources including seeds (chia seeds and kiwi fruit seeds), vegetables oils (canola, soybean and walnut) and green vegetables (Brussels sprouts, kale and spinach).

Chia seed is cholesterol free
  • Experimental study showed that chia diets can dramatically decrease triacylglycerol levels
  • Increase HDL (good) cholesterol. 
  • Regular consumption can reduce blood pressure and inflammation, lowering cardiovascular disease risk.
  • Abundant in antioxidants that help fight free radicals and nourish the immune system.
  • Experimental studies show that oil from chia seeds inhibits cancer growth and spread by increasing T cell infiltration and suppressing cancer cell reproduction.
  • Good sources of fibre that help maintain a healthy digestive tract and prevent gastrointestinal diseases such as diverticulitis and colon cancer.
  • Can absorb more than 12 times its weight in water, helping the body to conserve water.
  • Help to calm nerves and strengthen memory.

Kiwi fruit seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
  • Kiwi fruit seed oil contains about 62% ALA, much higher than other sources of ALA, such as flax seeds.
  • The essential fatty acids in kiwi fruit seeds are necessary for making prostaglandins, which play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection.
  • Kiwi fruit seeds display antibacterial activity.

ALA is needed for proper growth in children, particularly for neural development and maturation of sensory systems.


One of the key benefits of Omega 3 is anti-inflammatory effect that may benefit rheumatoid arthritis sufferers.

A good news for all! Nutritional Immunology has successfully formulated O-SEED, which is made using Chia seed & Kiwi Fruit Seed. These plant ingredients contain omega-3 fatty acids in the form of ALA. O-SEED is convenient to consume and suitable for daily consumption.

NUTRIACT to boost the policeman within you - NK cells!

We have another awesome learning on 19th August from Dr. Chen's session!

We are lucky to have Dr. EE with us too, an intellectual meeting between Immunology and Modern Medicine 👍👏👏👏
Recently I have heard a lot more cancer cases, some are rare types, and some already terminal stage when it was diagnosed...It's really disheartening...

So why cancer is getting more and more common now? 
Do you see it's even as common as flu?

Do you know:
Breast cancer can incubate for 6-8 years?
Colon cancer can be 10-20 years?

In another word, we do have enough time to destroy the cancerous cells before it spreads like wild fire 🔥😟😢

So how to safeguard yourself and your loves one from falling prey as part of the statistics?

One of my biggest take-away from Dr. Chen's session is your 'policeman' in the body (Natural Killer cells, NK cells) must be active and sensitive to keep patrolling to find and destroy the cancerous cells!

Do you know what nutrients NK cells love the most?

It's Polysaccharides which is rich in mushroom species!
Key is you must have enough amount of Polysaccharides for the NK cells to work for you 💪💪💪              
         

What does Polysaccharides do?
🌟Activate immune cells
🌟Inhibit tumor growth
🌟Balance immune system to destroy cancer cells and viruses
🌟Used as antiviral drugs
🌟Anticancer effects


What mushroom species are rich is Polysaccharides?
🍄 Shiitake mushroom
🍄 Reishi mushroom aka Ganoderma or Ling Zhi
🍄 Maitake mushroom
🍄 ABM mushroom

Why Polysaccharides & A Variety of Mushrooms Are Important For You?!
Here are more information:








Guess you may be hearing sometimes Mushrooms is a NO NO food for gout patients?
Which is due to the high purine in mushrooms that cause high uric acid which in turn trigger Gout?
That's a MYTH!!! Read more about What You Do Not Know About Gout?! to find out more!

For me, I will take Nutriact for myself and my family! ❤👨‍👩‍👧‍👦😃

Nutriact provides us a great convenience in life by synergising the 4 types of abovementioned mushroom species! It's also superb for viral attack!

Just days ago, Shanice was down with some itchy rashes all over the body...
Suspected due to viral attack!!!    
                   
We blend in the Nutriact Powder into the Kueh Pie-Tee cups (a kind gesture specially handmade by a BFF, Teresa) and share it among the family - from the young to the elderly💞💖💝
As a result, Shanice is fully recovered in a day!!!💪💪💪
See, she is the one preparing the Nutriact Kueh Pie-Tee for all of us, on the 2nd day after she has fully recovered, no more itchiness = Happy Children = Happy Parents😁



For those who have been taking OXYGINBERRY as your foundation, I will highly highly recommend you to take a minimum of 3 x Nutriact yearly, as a mini overhaul, so as to reset the cancerous cells to a non-alarming level!!!

Yes, Nutriact is one of the premium range like Celebration, Millennium, Oxyginberry, as it is made of the 4 mushrooms species, which give the best synergistic effects!!!

Amount of Polysaccharides used is important as only an appropriate dose elicits the best response from the body.

Hence, the recommendation for Nutriact consumption as following:
1. 1 sachet/ 3 caps daily for healthy people doing mini overhaul/ maintenance, for 3 months minimum.

2. 2 sachets/ 6 caps daily for people who may have family history of critical diseases and cancer, for 3 months minimum.

Self-Produce Glucosamine vs. Man-Made Glucosamine

As glucosamine supplements are getting more commonly used by the public, let's understand what glucosamine is and understand the function and side effects of glucosamine supplements:

What is Glucosamine?
Other names: glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine sulphate, glucosamine hydrochloride, N-acetyl glucosamine, chitosamine
Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Production of glucosamine slows with age.
Glucosamine is available as a nutritional supplement in health food stores and many drug stores. Glucosamine supplements are manufactured in a laboratory from chitin, a substance found in the shells of shrimp, crab, lobster, and other sea creatures. In additional to nutritional supplements, glucosamine is also used in sports drinks and in cosmetics.
Glucosamine is often combined with chondroitin sulfate, a molecule naturally present in cartilage. Chondroitin gives cartilage elasticity and is believed to prevent the destruction of cartilage by enzymes. Glucosamine is sometimes combined with methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, in nutritional supplements.

Why Do People Use Glucosamine?
As we age, our cartilage – the rubbery material that cushions joints -- becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration. That is why joint pain has become very common in older people.
However, rheumatoid arthritis, different from osteoarthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease which results from your body attacking your own joints. it can strike at any age.

Side effects of glucosamine pills may include drowsiness, headache, insomnia, and mild and temporary digestive complaints such as abdominal pain, poor appetite, nausea, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, and vomiting. In rare human cases, the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin has been linked with temporarily elevated blood pressure and heart rate and palpitations. 

There is some evidence suggesting that glucosamine, in doses used to treat osteoarthritis, may worsen blood sugar, insulin, and/or hemoglobin A1C. This may affect the functioning of pancreatic cells thus leading to diabetes.

Hence, how do we maintain a healthy cartilage to prevent getting joint pain as we age? Can our body produce own glucosamine or we have to rely on glucosamine pills which mostly derived from shell-like animals?

According to Nutritional Immunology, nutrient-rich foods contribute to strong immune response, which in turn helps prevent diseases such as arthritis. A variety of plant foods in their wholesome forms that is not in the isolated form can help to boost immunity and protect the heart.
The human body can make glucosamine from glucose and glutamine. However, glucosamine production in the human body tends to decline with age. By consuming plant food rich in glutamine and antioxidants this will provide the body with material to stimulate glucosamine production. By consuming these plant foods we can prevent or delay the effects of arthritis.

Do you know you do not need Glucosamine as there is no existence of glucosamine in the mother nature? The reason is simply you can self produce Glucosamine! What you need is the raw materials that are glutamine-rich to self produce Glucosamine!

So what are the plants from the mother nature that is rich in glutamine?
Brown Algae, Parsley, SpinachAcerola Cherry, Ginger, Alfafa, Cactus

A good news for all! Nutritional Immunology has successfully formulated G-ART, which is made from a variety of plant ingredients (Brown Algae, Parsley, SpinachAcerola CherryGinger, Alfafa, Cactusthat help nourish your body so you can enjoy an active lifestyle.
