We know that we can get infected with virus and bacterial from uncleaned hands. With babies keep putting their tiny fingers into their mouth, adults that will land their hands on their own eyes and mouth, a good habit of regular washing hands is thus of extreme important.
With this, a good hand wash that is effective, not leaving our hands peeled, dry and itchy, is necessary.
The premium Antibacterial Handwash contains oxyginberry complex, peach leaf, jojoba leaf, licorice leaf and gardenia tahitensis flower. It is highly effective against germs, various fungi and viruses. It leaves a long lasting protection layer against bacteria. Long term use of it will neither affect its efficacy in killing and inhibiting bacteria nor lead to drug-resistance.
This antibacterial handwash can be used on any parts of our body. It is mild, and yet effective. A mother uses this as a baby wash to bathe her baby. When the baby caught HFMD, the blisters only appeared under the baby’s feet! The reason was when the mother bathes the baby, the antibacterial handwash was used on everywhere except the soles of the baby’s feet! ?

Rat’s hepatitis E virus (HEV) has jumped to human.. to what Scientists feared..!!
(Did the virus finally mutate to where it can infect human beings? ?)
The case happened in Hong Kong. A 56-year old man had underwent a liver transplant in May last year (2017) and after his discharged from hospital; he persistently had abnormal liver function test results. It was eventually found that he had contracted the rat’s HEV.
It was suspected that he could have contracted the disease through food infected by rat droppings. A check at where he resides (Choi Wan housing estate in Kowloon’s Wong Tai Sin District) showed signs of rat infestation. Rat droppings are littered among piles of clutter near his place.
Good hygience is definitely very important to prevent wide spread of diseases.

An ingenious product that has 28 different vegetables in a serving! So convenient..just add the powder in your food or stir it as a drink!!
The following shows the ingredients in one sachet.
I attempted tang yuan using Vegecolor and they are nice! I mixed the vegecolor with the flour, formed the dough and boiled them. It’s not too difficult. I didn’t take any photos of the process. The following was what I captured when it was done by another independent distributor. The tang yuan can be added as toppings over red bean soup.
You can be as creative as you want with Vegecolor, especially when your little ones are picky with vegetables. Add them to your recipes!
Note: The consumption of different colors of vegetables are important as they contain different types of phytochemicals. Phytochemicals found in plants possess anticancer capabilities. Each type of phytochemical can block one of the processes that leads to cancer.
Many people have the impression that all health supplements contain preservatives. They are not totally wrong. Majority of the retail health supplements do contain preservatives, as indicated on their bottles/boxes. It is rare to find preservatives-free supplements.
Nutritional Immunology products are without preservatives and additives. How is that so?
The company uses – Freeze-drying technique to eliminate the use of preservatives. Not only preservatives are not needed, freeze-drying allows the freshness of a harvest to be conserved.
Freeze-drying is not a new technology and has been around for decades. One may do an Internet search to understand how this technique works. Rare to find a health supplement manufacturer using this technology. After all, it is a time-consuming and expensive process.
Some extracts from wikipedia
“The primary purpose of freeze drying within the food industry to extend the shelf-life of the food while maintaining the quality. Freeze-drying is known to result in the highest quality of foods amongst all drying techniques because structural integrity is maintained along with preservation of flavors. Because freeze drying is expensive, it is used mainly with high-value products. Examples of high-value freeze-dried products are seasonal fruits and vegetables because of their limited availability…”

Because freeze drying is expensive, it is used mainly with high-value products. “
“Shelf-life extension is a result from low processing temperatures in conjunction with rapid transition of water through sublimation. With these processing conditions, deterioration reactions, including nonenzymatic browning, enzymatic browning, and protein denaturation, are minimized. When the product is successfully dried, packaged properly, and placed in ideal storage conditions the foods have a shelf life of greater than 12 months.”

Many people drink a glass of juices every morning, believing that they are adopting a healthy diet.
However, an article in The Straits Times dated 13 August 2013 with caption – Pick fruit over juice to ‘lower diabetes risk’ advises one to consume whole fresh fruits instead of drinking more fruit juice.
Those that consume whole fresh fruits are linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes compared to those that drink juices.
Similar to what Dr Jau-Fei Chen has advocated…By juicing, one is removing the skin and fiber (pulp) from the fruits. What left is the concentrated amount of juice that is high in sugar. Without the fiber, the juice will raise our blood sugar level and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. It was also mentioned in the article that those who consumed one or more servings of fruit juice each day saw their risk of disease increase by up to 21 per cent.

The photo shows part of a colon that has multiple polyps, removed from a patient. Usually, colon polyps cause no symptoms.
Healthy cells grow and divide in an orderly way. Mutation of the cell’s DNA can cause cell to divide in an uncontrolled manner. This unregulated growth can cause polyps to form. A person with the tendency of getting polyps is at higher risk of getting colon cancer as these may later turn cancerous.
Colon cancer is the number 1 cancer in Singapore for men. More than 600 people die from colon cancer in Singapore every year. However, colon cancer can easily be prevented with the right diet and with sufficient dietary fiber intake.
Dietary fiber comprises soluble and insoluble fiber.Insoluble fiber acts like a broom in our body to sweep away the toxins. Soluble fiber forms a lining in our intestinal tract and aids in preventing our body from absorbing excess cholesterol, fats, calories and sugar. With a cleaner digestive tract, nutrients get absorbed more effectively by our body; we get less prone to colon diseases and, at the same time with a good digestive system, we get clearer complexion.
Evernew orange plays a good role to help maintain our colon health, as well as to maintain the healthy bacteria in our gut. It contains a balance mix of soluble and insoluble fiber from the mix of Orange, banana, oats and psyllium husk.
The importance of dietary fiber:

I was reading the papers when I heard an ‘interesting’ advertisement over the FM chinese radio station. The advertisement was talking about one brand of calcium supplement for the joints and it ended with a statement ‘把钙送到最需要的部位’.
This can really be misleading isn’t it?
According to Research, calcium absorption is a complex process involving several parts of the body, for example, the digestive system and kidneys. Poor kidney function can even cause calcium to accumulate in soft tissues instead of bones and possibly lead to arthritis, heart disease and senile dementia! In other words, taking SYNTHETIC calcium may not have the calcium deposited in our bones and worse, may lead to other detrimental effects.
According to The Straits Times article dated 31 July 2010 under the Mains segment – Calcium pills raise heart attack risk by 30%. It was mentioned that when we take calcium supplements, our blood calcium level will go up over the next 4-6 hours, and towards the top end of the normal range. However, when we take calcium-rich foods, the calcium from the food is absorbed very slowly and our blood calcium level will hardly change. When calcium level in our blood is high, we risk formation of plaque in our blood vessels that could lead to heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
So to prevent osteoporosis or to build up our calcium, consume calcium-rich food such as soy, broccoli, pearl, platycodon root, alfalfa, abm mushroom etc.

I have lost count to the number of years I am using this Bright and White Toothpaste. After using this Oxyginberry complex natural peppermint paste, I find myself no longer able to can use the normal mint toothpaste from retails. The latter somehow feels artificial…
Most importantly, Bright and White does not contain fluoride and triclosan, both cancer-causing agents. It alarms me to see some brands state FULL FLUORIDE PROTECTION for their toothpastes.
Why am I convinced by Bright and White?
