Government servant diet change

Leadership by example on changing the Malaysian diet: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/6/12/nation/11458488&sec=nation As Malaysians become health conscious, there is a need to improvise food that are not healthy and make them healthy or healthier. Hopefully more educated folks will experiment with popular local dishes and make them even more delightful.

Are we getting enough nutrition from the food we eat?

Give a gift of health for the Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is around the corner and if you are thinking about getting good gifts to bring home for parents, relatives or friends, or just to show your appreciation to clients, why not consider the following instead of the usual unhealthy cookies and canned food.

Instead of ginseng, why not give a Nobel Prize product - Herbalife NW Formula (Niteworks). It helps with blood circulation and boosts cardiovascular health. It contains a proprietary blend of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline that help produce nitric oxide in the body and in turn, promote overall health and energy.

The NW Formula comes in powder form and is mixed into a glass of water and consumed before one goes to sleep. For the elderly, it seems to reduce aches and pains. This is one product that has to be experienced to know the difference.

With the current controversy over Birds’ Nest, why not purchase Herbalife Formula 1 - beverage of the 21^st Century, which has a lot more nutrients than Birds’ Nest. The nutrient-packed delicious shake helps meet the demanding needs of fast paced and stress filled modern day living for the young and active as well as the aged. It is fantastic for our elderly parents or relatives who may not be getting enough nutrients, who are weak or eat too little to be getting enough nutrients.

We may not be aware that our bodies experience much stress daily from multiple sources - pollution in the air, water and food. Our food may be filled with preservatives, additives, colouring, artificial seasoning, bad oil from fried food, excessive salt and sugar and animal fats.

The kidney and liver go through much stress when we consume alcohol excessively, while our lungs and stomachs take a heavy toll from tobacco.

Our bodies also go through more stress than usual when we suffer from medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, migrane, arthritis, allergies, infection, etc.

For these reasons, we need to consume adequate nutrients to enable us to have optimal health. Most Malaysians eat adequately only for survival but not enough for good health. How many of us consume 5 servings of fresh fruits/vegetables a day? I don’t know of any Malaysian who does that regularly. Moreover, our food, although delicious, are high in carbs and lacking in healthy protein.

The other must-have for this hot season is the Aloe Herbal Concentrate. You only need to mix 2 to 3 capfuls of the concentrate into a glass of water for a refreshing beverage that helps reduce heatiness, relieves stomach indigestion, gastric, constipation as well as diarrhea. The drink is full of enzymes that are good for the gut while it cleans the villi to enable better nutrient absorption.

The Herbalife teamix (Lemon & Hibiscus or Peach) is high in anti-oxidants and makes a nice tea drink for guests. It’s a healthier option than serving soft drinks. It is a mild detox, so you won’t feel much difference unless you have consumed too much fat.

The Omega 3 Fish Oil is useful for those with high cholesterol, arthritis or joint problems and those susceptible to infection.

Please let us know if you need any of these, even if you are living in another country.

Herbalife is the number one human nutrition company in the world and is available in 80 countries. It is listed also in the New York Stock Exchange.

Significant difference

A friend told us during a dinner get-together that her father’s cholesterol level had reduced from 7.5 mmol/L to 5.5 mmol/L after going on cellular nutrition for two months.

Another acquaintance shared that he used to suffer from 28 epileptic seizures a month despite being on medication, but since he started on cellular nutrition, the seizure had gone down to once a month. He was totally caught by surprise.

A mother who has a daughter born with allergies, started giving her a whole range of cellular nutrition when she first discover about cellular nutrition. The girl was six years old then. Initially, it was bad. The girl began to have more allergies but the mother kept giving it to her knowing that the cleansing effect was taking place. After six months of seriously taking the nutrition, her skin cleared up. She is now 12 years old and my husband and I could not believe that she had suffered severe allergies before. Her skin is so smooth. No one would have known that she had suffered much skin problems and scars before.

Those with allergic reaction should not worry but should persevere. Drinking a lot of water is a must during such a time. There are ways to reduce the allergic reaction. Just ask the coachJ . Those who had gone through the path will tell you that they reap sweet results after persevering through the “storm.”

I have been reading that people should just rely on natural food and forget about supplements if they are healthy. An article in an English newspaper I read mentioned that the extra money should be spent on fruits and vegetables. While I agree that people should consume more raw vegetables and fruits, how many Malaysians do that? By that, I mean 5 servings a day as recommended by dieticians? I have not come across a Malaysian who does that on a daily basis. I find it difficult to achieve that myself. A pathetic bowl of salad already cost RM8-RM12. While I do eat that whenever I can find healthy and fresh salads (those without brown marks on veges) and occasionally prepare it myself or eat ulam, it is not consistent while I can’t keep up with the cost of eating salads at every meal outside. For this reason, I supplement. And I don’t go for any supplements but cellular nutrition.

 Moreover, how much nutrition do we get in the food we eat today with monoculture farming system while filled with chemical fertilizer and pesticides? With fried and processed food, we continuously put potential cancer causing substance in our bodies. Cellular nutrition helps cleanse the body in a healthy way while nourishing it effectively. It feeds every microcells in the body. For this reason, it will benefit diabetics as well.

For this reason, I believe in a balance – have natural food as much as possible and complement it with cellular nutrition. This will definitely boost our immune system.
