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! 💪
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.
E.Excel currently has two sunscreen: – Sunny Time SPF 50 PA+++ (30g) lotion-based – Oxyginberry Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ (30g) cream based
Current new launch SunCacti is gel-based. Depending on which you prefer!
One worthy mention – SunCacti is 60g. Double the grams than the predecessors, yet at a lower price 😃 (S$69.76). Kudos to E.Excel that always try to keep price low but not at the expense of quality!

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.
The body requires a diverse population of friendly gut bacteria. They can help us to improve our digestion and relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
However probiotics found in supplements and some drinks/foods contain only a few different strains of bacteria. Dietary Fiber on the other hand, has a direct impact on constipation and digestion. It can help stools move along more quickly and dietary fiber feeds our friendly gut bacteria to increase in number and kind.
We can obtain fiber from vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes.
The table below gives a good illustration of Probiotics vs Dietary Fiber.
