Have you heard and eaten lion mane mushroom before?
Before I was a vegetarian, I have not consumed or even heard of lion mane mushroom. A delicacy that I was missing out!
I love the chewy texture and most vegetarian restaurants use lion mane mushroom to mimic western steak. It tastes good 😊
I love to include it to my cooking and since my husband likes it too, as it somewhat tastes like meat.
I have tried getting the dry mushroom form from supermarket, but it is not as easy to handle and cook. So I ended up getting those frozen and ready-to-cook types from vegetarian stores.
Happy that now there are even more reasons to consume lion mane mushrooms – for our brain health 🤩! Be it to prevent Alzheimer’s disease or to improve children’s memory, lion mane mushroom has proven itself to be useful!
E.Excel has <E-memories> and <ToThink>, both contain high concentration of lion mane mushroom.
<E-memories> is in capsule form, containing three concentrated ingredients: Lion mane mushroom, Ji-lin ginseng and Ashitaba for brain power.
<Tothink> is in liquid form with Lion mane mushroom and American ginseng.
Through much exploration, no other brands beat E.Excel when it comes to wholesome ingredients concentration. I love [Tothink] especially! In liquid form, tastes nice and the concentration of the ginseng is so high, by finishing a pack in a few hours, I can feel my energy boosted, focus level still sharp despite having late night the day before 😅
Feeling lethargy or recovering from a illness? You may want to try [Tothink] for that added boost! 💪
Dr Jau Fei Chen shares with us how global warming can affect our health in various manner, including the drop in the body’s ability to fight infections, and the potential increase of the body’s inflammation.
What we may not think of is how global warming may also cause the cold-blooded animals to adapt to the rising mercury, mutate and may become warm-blooded animals. When this happens, the viruses that used to be found only in the cold-blooded will eventually be able to jump to the warm-blooded animals. This can cause dire consequences to the warm-blooded animals, including human beings. What we can do now is to eat less meat to reduce the body’s inflammation, consume more plant foods (e.g cactus #millennium) to fight inflammation and at the same time increase our immunity.
The talk offers much insights. The same talk in English will be delivered by Dr EE Zhang in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur next month August. Drop me a text if you are keen to attend! I can have companion 🙂
Do you include sunscreen in your skincare routine? If you have not, better start the soonest 😒 Do not wait for premature pigmentation to appear before you start to do something, it may be well too late…
This happens to someone close to me. He is born with fair, flawless, porcelain skin that women will envy. Yet he found himself too fair. When he was in his 30s, he tanned himself often under the hot blazing sun and even applied some unknown tanning brand lotion. Now he is full of regrets – pigmentation fills up his previous flawless, porcelain face. Pigmentation is something that even with current technology, it cannot be effectively removed. The best reach is only to lighten.
Up to 90% of skin aging and damage is caused by harmful UV rays. UV rays damages the DNA in skin cells, accelerates premature aging, form premature wrinkles, dark spots, and can also lead to skin cancer. Sunscreen application is not a choice, but a necessity for healthy skin.

AI business industry is selling the work that still need to be done by humans, to people that are building models that would replace them.
In this real world of “human eats human” to survive, I am glad I have chosen a more humane business model where we work as a team to help one another gain success and live an ideal life!
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates once said, “All disease begins in the gut.”
This proclamation was made over 2000 years ago, yet it is now gaining significant attention. Emerging research is shedding light on the profound connection between gut health and a wide range of diseases, from digestive disorders to autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, and more.
But where is our Gut? The entire digestive tract, from mouth to anus. This includes many organs such as the stomach, small and large intestines, gallbladder, and pancreas. A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut.
An imbalance in the gut microbiome (a diverse community of bacteria in our body) can:
compromise immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and autoimmune diseases
promote inflammation, contributing to the development and progression of chronic low-level inflammation such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer
can lead to food allergies, eating disorders, obesity
may contribute to anxiety, depression, and even neurodegenerative disorders
can lead to skin dermatitis such as acne and eczema
When there is an imbalance in the gut, it is known as dysbiosis. This can happen if there
are too many “bad” species
not enough “good” species
not enough diversity of species
Once the communication between the gut microbiota and immune cells is disrupted, it can lead to many diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases, celiac diseases, obesity, and metabolic disorders.
Gut-brain Connection
Gut-brain connection or gut-brain axis is complex and bidirectional. Signals pass both ways between your digestive system and central nervous system (CNS), health or disease in one can affect the other.
The brain communicates with the body through nerves. Your brain and gut are like besties. The gut is practically like our second brain. More information passes between them than any other body system. There are more nerve cells in the gut than anywhere else in the body outside the brain. Their communication includes hunger and satiety, digestion, mood, stress levels, immunity, behavior, etc. An unhealthy gut may contribute to anxiety, depression, and even neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
The Gut-skin connection
Gut-skin connection is another intriguing area of research. Conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis may be influenced by gut health.
Signs of a healthy gut
You feel well after eating
You do not experience acid reflux, bloating, or digestive pain
Your bowel movements are fully formed, solid, smooth, brown, with no straining.
You do not notice undigested food, mucus, or blood in your stool
Foods for Gut Health
Dietary Fiber
Dietary Fiber produces high levels of SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids) that help to maintain a healthy intestinal mucosal barrier. Butyrate, a type of SCFA with anti-inflammatory regulates the immune system.
Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Omega-3 PUFAs can decrease the growth of Enterobacteria, increase the growth of bifidobacteria, and produce anti-inflammatory chemicals called short-chain fatty acids SCFAs.
Importance Avoid antibiotic overuse. Antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiome. Chronic stress can also affect gut health.
Heal your gut and you may be able to heal your body.
A fever is not an illness by itself. It is usually a sign that the immune system is hard at work.
During an infection, the immune system raises the body’s temperature by secreting certain chemicals that increase the production and activity of immune cells. This slows down an invader’s ability to reproduce, resisting its attack.
Lowering a fever may make it more difficult for the immune system to overcome the infection. Fever medications have side effects. Even paracetamol. It can lead to side effects such as the death of liver cells and kidney cells, and neurotoxicity.
I believe most would have heard the news from papers or social media that there are numerous fatalities and over 100 hospitalizations after consuming red yeast rice dietary supplements from Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., the Japanese drugmaker.
Red yeast rice consists of rice fermented with a mould culture. It has been used in food, alcoholic drinks, and folk medicines for many centuries around East Asia. The manufacturer Kobayashi Pharmaceutical said they detected a potentially toxic acid produced by the mould at one of its factories.
Although the precise cause has yet to be determined, investigations have revealed the presence of puberulic acid, a compound derived from blue mold, which is suspected to be linked to the reported illnesses. Red yeast rice is typically produced via fermentation with red yeast, raising the possibility that contamination occurs during the manufacturing processes. Questions are also raised about the factory’s quality control, with the company admitting that its production line had not obtained a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification.
I am glad that Nutritional Immunology Products do not undergo any fermentation process involving yeasts or mould culture. E.Excel manufacturing facilities also maintain GMP certification and ensure rigorous quality control and thorough checks for microbial content in each batch produced.
With the intense heat and temperature rise, this is my saviour. Wiping my body with these wipes saves my body from the sticky sweat-feel which can be pretty uncomfortable. Now I can feel fresh the whole day, be it at home or when running outside! It is best applied after bathing.
Bring the wipes with you when you are out there, especially for those who may perspire frequently. You may need repeat wipes 🙂
Elemente Stay Fresh Anti-Bacterial Body Wipes
By the way, these aren’t normal wipes! It uses not just food-grade alcohol, but also silver ions that provide a very lasting anti-bacterial effect. Safe for children as well.
The benefits of silver ions:
Silver kills bacteria in three main ways:
By creating holes and puncturing the microbial cell wall.
By disrupting the bacteria’s metabolism and energy production.
By disrupting bacterial DNA and stopping it from replicating.
In other words, the wipe is also good in preventing bed sores, for skin areas that are proned to infections, and areas that may generate bad odour.
