What will happen when you improved your diet? 改善飲食時,可能出現哪些狀況?

如果有人問我,在營養方面最大的誤解跟困惑是什麼,我一定會這麼回答:就是人們對剛開始實施一套良好計畫時所顯現的誤解和無知.

一套良好的營養計畫說穿了就是引進較高品質的食物來取代原來較低品質的食物.由於營養計畫排除了含毒物質(如咖啡,茶,巧克力,香菸,鹽,辣椒等),因此營養計畫本身的品質也比較好,身體和心智都發生了顯著的變化.當進入身體的食物品質比身體組織的品質還要好時,身體便開始拋棄品質較差的物質跟組織,而留住空間供較優良和較健康的新組織生成.

當你剛開始放棄低品質食物而代之以高品質食物時,你的身體會出現哪些變化呢?

當含毒物質的食用突然停止時,最常出現的症狀是頭痛跟無精打采.這是由於身體拋棄了原來藉著血管運行於全身的毒素,當毒素被完全從身體去除之前, 這些刺激物質在我們的意識中便產生一種痛苦和頭痛的感覺.通常這些症狀在3天內便會消失了.之後,我們會感覺到更強健.如果我們繼續並逐漸提高飲食品質,那些調適期的症狀便開始消失了.我們的身體開始進入一個稱為”重建”的過程.西包訊息開始產生變化,開始排除舊有的廢物,並開始建立一個”美好的新家園”.

這時的重點在於清除廢物,我們的身體開始清除堆積在組織裏的廢物,這時由於毒訴和有害物質經由皮膚排出,人們的皮膚上可能會出現疹子或疙瘩.如果他們這時去看一位未受過營養賺業訓練的醫生,醫生可能診斷為食物過敏,並建議停止使用目前的飲食.他 們不了解,這時身體正在”重建”.皮膚會變的越來越有生氣和活力,毒素正在逐漸的排出.為你避免了更嚴重的疾病.如果你讓這些毒素繼續留在你體內的話,可能產生的嚴重疾病包括:肝炎,腎失調,血液疾病,心臟病,關節炎,神經退化,和癌症

你應該感到高興,你現在是以比較輕鬆的方式在”支付你的帳單”,可能會有一些感冒症狀,甚至發熱.

這是自然的”體內大掃除”
你要了解,那些作用都是具建設性的,雖然暫時會有些不舒服,但你千萬不要利用某些藥物來壓制這些症狀.這些症狀是導正過程的一部份,而不是缺乏狀況或是過敏反應.可能出現的症狀包括”開始時頭痛,偶而腹瀉,疲倦,緊張,易怒,精神不佳等.

The Most Powerful Super Foods‏

All are my favorite!!!

But … the daily intake of shakes have helped to take care of all the nutrients my body needs. And I have all the good and balanced nutrients which are dependable on each other in order to work! Cheers to you, my Herbalife~

So have you taken yours?

===================

Why Are They So Super?
Ask five nutritionists to rate the 12 most powerful foods and you’ll get five different lists, but many of the selections will overlap. Why?

Because every food provides something different: Some are a rich source of protein or fiber but void of many vitamins and minerals, while others contain disease- fighting phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, but no protein. The trick, claim experts, is to get a variety of the best foods.
The following 12 power foods are a good place to start.
   
Avocados
Sure they’re high in fat, but avocados contain healthful monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. ‘Avocados aid in blood and tissue regeneration, stabilize blood sugar, and are excellent for heart disorders,’ says Ed Bauman, Ph.D., director of Bauman College. They’re loaded with fiber (11 to 17 grams per fruit) and are a good source of lutein, an antioxidant linked to eye and skin health.
 
Apples
‘An apple a day really does keep the doctor away,’ says Jonny Bowden,  Ph.D., C.N.S., author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. Apples are loaded with the powerful antioxidants quercetin and catechin, which protect cells from damage – that means a reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, especially if you eat the skin. Research shows that the apple peel contains five times more polyphenols than the flesh. Apples and their skins pack a lot of fiber too (about twice that of other common fruits, including peaches, grapes, and grapefruit), which may help fight the battle of the bulge.
   
Blueberries
Antiaging superstars, blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which have been shown to improve vision and brain function.  Studies show that eating blueberries slows impairments in motor coordination and memory that accompany aging. These little berries also reduce inflammation, which is inextricably linked with virtually every chronic disease from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, to diabetes and heart disease. Other studies show that blueberries have much greater anticancer activity than other fruits
 
Cabbage
In the vegetable world, the Brassica genus reigns supreme, and the cabbage is the most impressive of the lot. Brassica vegetables (including broccoli, bok choy) contain compounds called indoles, which have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer dramatically. ‘Eating cabbage more than once a week cut men’s colon cancer odds by 66 percent,’ says Bauman. ‘Cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and viruses, and is a good blood purifier.’ If you go for the red variety, you’ll also get a healthy dose of anthocyanins (the same pigment molecules that make blueberries blue), another powerful antioxidant with an anticancer punch.
  
Fish and Fish Oil
Eating fish helps cut the risk of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. The fatty varieties may also help alleviate depression. The American Heart Association recommends that adults eat at least two fish meals per week, especially wild salmon, herring, and sardines, because those varieties provide the most heart-healthy omega 3s. Avoid mercury-containing varieties like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and albacore tuna, says Roberta Anding, M.S., R.D., national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. (Chunk light tuna is okay.)
 
Garlic
Research shows that garlic lowers total cholesterol and triglyceride (blood fat) levels, helping prevent clogged arteries. ‘Two to three cloves a day cut the odds of subsequent heart attacks in half for heart disease patients,’ says Bauman. ‘Garlic also tops the National Cancer Institute’s list of potential cancer-preventive foods.’ Whole baked garlic helps detoxify the body of heavy metals like mercury (from fish) and cadmium. Garlic also acts as an antibacterial and antiviral, boosting resistance to stress-induced colds and infections. Can’t stand garlic breath? Chew on a sprig of parsley.
 
Mushrooms
Used for centuries in Eastern medicine, mushrooms have powerful effects on the immune system – especially the maitake, shiitake, and reishi varieties. ‘Mushrooms such as maitake help prevent and treat cancer, viral diseases, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure,’ says Bauman. In fact, mushrooms are used as an adjunctive cancer treatment throughout Asia because of their ability to counteract the toxic effects of chemotherapy and radiation while simultaneously shrinking tumors. What’s more, Japanese researchers have found that regularly eating shiitake mushrooms lowers blood cholesterol levels up to 45 percent.
 
Almonds
Almonds are loaded with fiber and monounsaturated fat, both of which have been shown to lower cholesterol. According to the Food and Drug Administration, eating 1.5 ounces of most nuts, including almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. And even though almonds are relatively high in fat and calories, studies show that eating almonds can actually help with weight loss (their protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats provide the feeling of fullness, preventing overeating).
   
Eggs
The best protein source on the planet, eggs consistently outrank milk, beef, whey, and soy in the quality of protein they provide. In addition to containing all nine essential amino acids, eggs are loaded with nutrients. ‘And for God’s sake, eat the yolks,’ says Bowden.. People avoid the yolks because they fear cholesterol, but egg yolks contain choline, which helps protect heart and brain function and prevents cholesterol and fat from accumulating in the liver.
 
 
Flaxseeds
Loaded with alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation, flaxseed has been used for centuries for medicinal and health reasons. Gandhi himself proclaimed, ‘Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health.’ Bauman adds, ‘The seed itself has terrific nutritional value, very usable protein, tremendous fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc.’ Additionally, they’re a great source of fiber.
 
Pomegranates
Pomegranates have up to three times the antioxidants of red wine and green tea – and the juice has been shown to reduce artery-clogging plaque, which in turn prevents heart disease and stroke. Research shows that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may also help slow aging and protect against cancer.
 
Dark Chocolate

When it comes to chocolate, bitter is better – at least in terms of health. The benefits of chocolate come from flavonols and antioxidants (the same disease-fighting chemicals found in cranberries, apples, strawberries, and red wine). The caveat: Only real cacao contains flavonols, so look for chocolate that boasts a high percentage of cacao (60 percent or more). Dark chocolate also has fewer calories than other varieties, and when eaten in moderation, it lowers unhealthy LDL cholesterol and prevents plaque from building up in your arteries.

Eating Right At Night

Eating a balanced diet means that you’re taking in a variety of healthy foods at reasonable intervals throughout the day – it doesn’t mean that you “balance” healthy foods eaten during the day with junk foods like pizza and ice cream at night.

But for many people, when the sun goes down, so does their willpower. While they can maintain their sensible eating habits during the day, evening often signals the start of an unending food fest until bedtime.

Weight Management – Meal Replacement

When it comes to dieting, most people approach the process by controlling portions and counting calories. But oftentimes, despite even the best efforts, the scale refuses to budge. Inaccuracies in counting calories and estimating portion sizes are two of the biggest obstacles to successful weight loss.

The beauty of meal replacements is that portion control is taken care of, and they’re designed to provide great nutrition within a defined number of calories. On top of that, they are simple and convenient for today’s busy lifestyles.

5 eating strategies for a sleeker belly

Hmm~ can try!

===============

Researchers have found that women put on more fat around their midsection as they get older — and if you’re stressed, overweight or menopausal, your waistline is more likely to balloon. But that’s not to say a poochy tummy is inevitable with age: Couple cardio and core exercises with a sensible eating plan and you can stay trim and look fab, say health experts. With these belly-friendly diet tips, you’ll be empowered to beat the flab.

1. Up your fiber intake

A recent Danish study found that women who ate more fiber gained less weight with age, particularly around their middle, than women on low-fiber diets. So how much fiber should you aim to take? 25 to 30 grams a day, recommend experts. Good sources include fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.

2. Eat frequently

Stress causes weight gain because when you’re often anxious or feeling overwhelmed, your body produces stress hormones like cortisol, which encourages the storage of fat in the abdomen. Studies have shown that hunger can trigger the same effect and send cortisol in overdrive, leading to an expanding waistline. To keep your hunger under control, eat five or six smaller meals instead of three main meals.

3. Cut back on salt

Sodium causes your body to retain fluids. That’s why a diet high in sodium can result in a bloated stomach as well as raise your blood pressure. Stay away from high-sodium culprits such as processed and canned foods, and whenever possible add flavor to your foods with herbs and spices instead of salt.

4. Eat less fast food

Here’s yet another proof that fast food isn’t exactly the most diet-friendly food around: A study by the University of Minnesota found that people who ate fast food more than twice a week gained an extra 10 pounds over 15 years, compared with people who ate fast food less than once a week. Fast foods are notoriously high in saturated fat and sodium, which not only lead to weight gain, but also elevate your risks of health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.

5. Cut back on refined carbs

According to recent findings published by the American Journal of Epidemiology, it’s not the amount, but the kind of carbohydrates you consume, that triggers weight gain. Contrary to popular belief, overweight people don’t eat more carbs than normal-weight individuals, but nutrition researchers found that they are more inclined to eat an excess of refined carbs.

Refined carbohydrates are, for example, those found in sugar, white bread, white rice, white bread, pasta and cereals. Meals and snacks that are laden with refined carbs have a high glycemic index, meaning they quickly break down into sugar, causing insulin levels to skyrocket and blood sugar to spike. If this blood sugar is not used by the body, it is stored as fat.

Replace refined carbs with unrefined carbs (wholemeal bread, whole wheat pasta, oats, veggies) and protein (lean meat) in your diet — these nutrients break down more slowly, so you’ll stay fuller for longer.

Weight Loss Challenge – Week 3

My weight and body fat % are still dropping steadily…. I’m doing great.

One tip to lower body fat, DRINK MORE WATER. If you think a few glasses a day is enough or a lot. Guess what I heard from the people who are participating in the Weight Loss Challenge and having good results in losing fat….. they are drinking 6 litres of water!!! OMG – I am drinking 4 litres…I thought I am drinking a lot already!!!

Can you still remember what I have written in this blog about the importance of water? If cannot remember, no problem…. read it again HERE.

Yesterday’s learning rocked me….. The topic was on fat and cholesterol.

Fat is a nutrient. It is important for normal body function and without it we could not live. Not only does fat supply us with energy, it also makes it possible for other nutrients to do their jobs. But, we all know…. too much fat cause harm to our health. So, any idea how much fat should we consume each day? For women, its 70g and for men, its 95g.

Quick tips in choosing healthy fats
1. Use liquid plant oils for cooking and baking. Olive, canola, and other plant-based oils are rich in heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Try dressing up a salad or spring vegetables with a delicious, olive oil-based vinaigrette, such as this recipe for fresh mint vinaigrette.

2. Ditch the trans fat. In the supermarket, read the label to find foods that are trans free. In restaurants, steer clear of fried foods, biscuits, and other baked goods, unless you know that the restaurant has eliminated trans fat.

3. Switch from butter to soft tub margarine. Choose a product that has zero grams of trans fat, and scan the ingredient list to make sure it does not contain partially hydrogenated oils.

4. Eat at least one good source of omega-3 fats each day. Fatty fish, walnuts, and canola oil all provide omega-3 fatty acids. You may also wish to consider one popular product from Herbalife – Herbalifeline. It is a blend of marine lipids containing Omega-3 supplement for cardiovascular and joint health. It also helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

 5. Go lean on meat and milk. Beef, pork, lamb, and dairy products are high in saturated fat. Choose low-fat milk, and savor full-fat cheeses in small amounts; also, choose lean cuts of meat.

Anyway, here are 2 videos from “Eat to save your life” on fat and cholesterol.
In one of the videos, it shared about by having extra bit of cafe latte and chips per day with about 330 more calories… one of the lady will put on 18 kgs within 15 mths! One old lady based on statistics, she probably left only 7 years of life span…. I teared a bit when I watched that.

 

Eat to save your life

I believe most of you know who Jamie Oliver is? He is one celebrity chef from UK who is well known for his role in campaigning against the use of processed foods in national schools. I think he deserves a big applause for producing a great TV show – Eat to Save your Life.

I have watched them all. Some scenes are pretty gross but there are many interesting sharings about the diet most people have now and useful health tips we could use to improve our health.

I agree that eating habits cannot be changed overnight.  But I believe by taking baby steps, everyone can move towards a healthier life. Just a matter of whether we want to make an eff0rt or not. Why I so love Herbalife is…. not only I managed to lose weight effectively but I have more awareness about health now. I give thanks to all the events I have attended and the unselfish sharings from the people I have met.

I found the videos of “Eat to save your life” online. Here are 2 videos. TRUST ME…… they are worth watching~

Jamie Oliver – Eat To Save Your Life Part 1

Jamie Oliver – Eat To Save Your Life Part 2

You can check out the rest of the videos on youtube. TRUST ME…. they are really worth watching.

If you are thinking to improve your health, we could offer some solutions and suggestions for your consideration. Ask me how~

Want good health? NEVER skip breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

A healthy breakfast refuels your body and replenishes our blood sugar (glucose), giving us the energy necessary to start a new day. In addition, a growing body of evidence indicates that breakfast is good for both physical and mental health. Studies show that people who eat breakfast — especially a healthy breakfast — are more likely to:

• Consume more vitamins and minerals and less fat and cholesterol during the day.
• Have better concentration and be more productive throughout the morning.
• Control their weight.
• Have more strength and endurance. People who eat breakfast — and thus have higher energy levels — may engage in more physical activity than may people who don’t eat breakfast.
• Have lower cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease.

Skipping breakfast is a common strategy for losing weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times each day — starting with breakfast.

Skipping breakfast may slow metabolism, make you physically and mentally sluggish and cause overeating at the next meal. This leads to a reduction in energy, since the body is forced to break down a large number of calories at one time.

Eating the “wrong” breakfast can prove just as harmful as eating none at all. In the morning rush, it is easy to quickly eat a doughnut or pastry and think that this is breakfast.

Here are some  simple equations:-

“Wrong” breakfast or meal = Excessive & unhealthy fats + preservatives + sugar + salt + food coloring

Skipping breakfast or meal = Deficient in vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, amino acids, phythonutrients and antioxidants.

By the doing above = OUR HEALTH SUFFERS

If you think you don’t have time in the morning, consider take delicious Herbalife Formula 1 Protein Shake Mix, packed with vitamins and minerals to give your body the fuel it needs to jump start a new day.

Our body is made of over one hundred trillion cells. The shake mix is going to help in achieving better health through Cellular Nutrition. Start taking it now and see the improvement in your health yourself.

The shakes are yummy…… I have tried few other brands before and nothing as delicious.

Protein 101

By David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.N.
Director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition

A necessity for everybody
Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. It is an organic compound, composed of 22 amino acids, otherwise known as the building blocks of life. Protein is stored in muscles and organs and the body utilizes it to build and repair tissues, as well as for the production of enzymes and hormones. Proteins also make it possible for blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is a “macronutrient,” meaning the body needs relatively large amounts of it. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that our daily protein requirements should be 10% to 35% of our total caloric intake, with men needing slightly more than women. A lack of protein can cause loss of muscle mass, decreased immunity, as well as weakening of the heart and respiratory system.

How protein affects your weight
The widespread popularity of high-protein diets is due in large part to their ability to help manage hunger. When protein is absorbed, it sends a signal to the brain to decrease your hunger. Another benefit of protein is that it raises your resting metabolism by maintaining muscle mass. As we age, muscle mass decreases without exercise, so staying fit is a key to burning fat by keeping your metabolism high. Protein also leads to a much less rapid rise and fall of blood sugar and insulin, so you avoid the “sugar highs and lows” after eating sweets without adequate protein. Certain foods, however, provide a healthier resource for protein than others.

Consider the source
You can obtain healthy sources of protein without high levels of saturated fat. For example, soybeans, nuts and whole grains provide protein without much saturated fat and offer plenty of healthful fiber and micronutrients as well. If you’re looking for yet another great way to obtain healthy protein, vegetable sources of protein found in Herbalife’s Formula 1, are high-quality and have lower calorie levels with virtually no added fat. Herbalife® products personalize your daily protein intake to match your body’s needs. With a variety of shakes and snacks, the ShapeWorks® program helps you build or maintain lean muscle while providing healthy weight management support.

Now that you’ve increased your knowledge of protein, you can effectively enhance your diet and allow good health to take shape.

Water – Are you drinking enough?

I never fail to get this comment from colleagues “Wah, you drink so much water one ah?” whenever they see me filling up my 1.8 litre bottle with water at the pantry in the morning. I do not think that is a lot of water. Aren’t we always told to drink at least 2 litres of water everyday? In the past, I was drinking 1.5 – 2 litres of water. I am now drinking 3 – 4 litres.

It is quite fascinating to know how much water most people I know are actually drinking. Water is very important to our health. I’m referring to pure drinking water. Coffee, tea and soda are not encouraged and counted. We are not just what we eat; we are also what we drink. 

Water is the basis of all life and that includes your body. Your muscles that moves you body are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs that provide your oxygen are 90% water; your brain that is the control center of your body is 76% water; even your bones are 25% water.

Health benefits of drinking water:-

• regulate appetite
• increase metabolism
• boost energy levels
• reduce water retention
• alleviate some headaches
• help reduce blood pressure
• help reduce high cholesterol
• ease joint pain
• decrease in risk of some cancers
• less chance developing kidney stones
• release toxic waste products
• improves skin

Here’s a very informative video- Nutrition Health Secret – The Powers of Water that talks about how important water is to our body. Do check it out!

While drinking water is very important for health, there are times when drinking too much can be a problem:

• If you have kidney and adrenal problems, or your doctor has you taking diuretics, you need to consult your doctor about how much water you should drink each day
• Do not drink the water you meed per day all at once. Divide the amount you need and drink several glasses of water throughout the day

You must be wondering how much water should you drink then? As a guide, you may drink based on 50 – 70% of your weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 60kg, you should drink at least 3 litres of water.

If you are committed to a healthier you, make drinking enough natural water a habit in your life. It won’t take long for you to feel the benefit.

Eating Healthy When Dining Out

The new National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Obesity Guidelines say that whether or not you’re trying to lose weight, you can eat healthy when dining out, if you know how.

So, if you’re treating yourself to a meal out, here are some tips to help make it a dining experience that is both tasty and good for you.

ASK! Will the restaurant:

• Serve margarine rather than butter with the meal?
• Serve fat free (skim) milk rather than whole milk or cream?
• Trim visible fat from poultry or meat?
• Leave all butter, gravy or sauces off a dish?
• Serve salad dressing on the side?
• Accommodate special requests?
• Use less cooking oil when cooking?

Act! Select foods which are: 

• Steamed
• Garden fresh
• Broiled
• Baked
• Roasted
• Poached
• Lightly sauteed or stir-fried

Food For Fuel

Your body is a complex machine that requires the right combination of fuel to keep it running at peak efficiency. It obtains this energy from the food you eat. However, what you eat plays an extremely important role when it comes to supporting optimum energy levels.

Sugar causes energy peaks and troughs
Many people are unaware that unhealthly food choices contribute to their lack of energy, with sugar consumption the main culprit. A large sugar load initially provides a quick energy boost, which is followed by a rapid decline. This is the reason so many people feel sleepy after lunch. Processed sugars such as pastas, rice, breads and chips cause these peaks and troughs in people’s energy levels. The remedy to this situation is a healthy diet high in fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and ample hydration.

Water works
Hydration in the human body is paramount to our health and our energy level is greatly impacted by the amount of water that we drink. Even a 5% drop in fluids will cause a 25-30% loss of energy in most people. Eight glasses of water daily, which is approximately 2 liters, is a healthy amount of hydration. Proper hydration maintains healthy bodily function and prevents fatigue.

Macronutrients
In addition to water, our bodies also need high-energy foods to perform our daily routines. All food is broken down into three major macronutrients: Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins. Certain Carbohydrates can be good source of energy, while others can cause imbalances in blood sugar. Whole-grains such as whole-wheat bread or brown rice help to even out blood sugar levels. Other carbs, such as candy bars, sodas, chips and cookies are simple sugars which cause the peaks and troughs. There are also different kinds of fats. Flax seed oil, fish oil, olive oil, as well as the natural oils found in seeds and nuts, are healthy for the body and help to increase your energy. All trans fats are undesirable, so be sure to read food labels for the amount of these fats in any food. Protein is the third macronutrient which is essential to energy production. The best sources of protein come from lean meats, fish, white meat of chicken, and healthy soy protein. Avoid protein from fast foods, as it lacks nutritional value and is often processed meat. Also remember to stay away from fatty cuts of meat. Look for lean cuts marked “loin” like “tenderloin” or “sirloin”.

Another great way to increase your energy is by drinking a healthy, nutritious protein shake. For example, Herbalife’s Formula 1 shakes provide the ideal balance of protein, carbohydrates and vitamins that are important for maintaining energy levels throughout the day.

Lasting energy
Our bodies require high-energy foods to perform our daily routines and to maintain a level of consistent energy. Additionally, it’s important to avoid sugar, which causes the energy “peaks and troughs.” Remember, the combination of good nutrition, drinking plenty of water and avoiding high-sugar foods, will help you achieve the energy to fuel you day.
