Collagen

Collagen

Collagen had became a well-known term to us nowadays especially women...We knew that collagen is essential to keep us looks young but how far do we know about collagen??

Collagen  is a group of naturally occurring proteins found in animals, especially in the flesh and connective tissues of vertebrates. It is the main component of connective tissue, and is the most abundant protein in mammals, making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content.

Some people refer to collagen as the glue that holds the body together. Without it, the body would, quite literally, fall apart. It works with keratin to provide the skin with strength, flexibility, and resilience. As people age, however, collagen degradation occurs, leading to wrinkles. As such, it is an important substance for those looking for ways to fight the visible effects of aging on the skin.

It keeps our skin supple and elastic and it supports our joints for easier and more flexible movements.  Collagen is also known to help keep our hair and nails strong and healthy looking.

Soy Protein

Soy Protein

I bet many of us love soy products. I am one of the top fans of soy products especially soy milk. I had been consuming large amount of soy milk in order to provide sufficient protein to my body and also that of my little baby in my womb. *wink, wink.. I believe that soy milk can help my baby to grown healthily and having fairer skin...But of course not only these, there are many more! 

 Soy is one of the sources of soy protein that our body need. How many of us are aware of the benefits of soy protein?? And what actually is soy protein??Soy protein is a protein that is isolated from soybean. Just as simple as that. :)

Soybean protein is a "complete protein" since it provides all of the essential amino acids for human nutrition.


Benefits of Soy for Health Promotion

Pregnancy
Fortified milk and fortified soy milk are the only reliable dietary sources of vitamin D (Somer, 2002). Use of soy products during pregnancy can be encouraged because expectant women are likely to receive the same health benefits as other women.  It may also be an alternative for women who do not like regular milk.

• • Cardiac

    
    

    • Consumption of soy protein in place of animal protein has been found to reduce serum concentrations of total cholesterol. 

• • Individuals need to consume about 25 grams of soy protein or more each day to obtain results (Wardlaw, 2000).

• • 
    Obesity and Diabetes

• • • • • In recent studies, soy protein contributed to the control of hyperglycemia and reduced body weight, hyperlipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia (Bhathena & Velasquez, 2002).
    
    
    
    • • • 
          

Cancer Prevention
Genistein, one of the phytochemicals found in soy, can reduce the risk of cancer (Wardlaw, 2000).

Menopausal Symptoms
Soy protein has been found to positively influence bone and calcium balance in postmenopausal women (Arjmandi et al., 2003). Results were especially significant for women who were not receiving hormone replacement therapy. These same results were not seen in young, healthy women who were still menstruating (Anderson et al., 2002).

Cloth Diapers Washing Guide

Hi, mommies who go cloth diapering! Here are the tricks that might be useful if you are new to Cloth Diaper.

Trick #1

Pre-wash

§  Every new cloth diaper requires 3-6 times of pre-wash.

§  The pre-wash process will remove the wax or natural oil and increase absorbency.  

§  For the FIRST pre-wash, a small amount of detergent will be good, but please make sure the detergent is bleach free, softener free and enzyme free. If you are not sure about the detergent, then just wash it with warm water.

§  Recommended “Pureen H-A-D” which is suitable for natural fabric.

§  For the Second and above pre-wash, no detergent is required.

§  For bamboo insert, it will reach the best absorbency after 12 wash.

Trick #2

Washing Guide

The cloth diaper can be hand wash or machine wash

Steps

1) Remove the insert from the cloth diaper.

2) Flush away the baby poop into the toilet. Skip this step if it is just urine.

3) Secure the the velcro/snap tabs by sticking them to the fold back tabs.

4) Run a cold pre-wash(or a short cycle with no detergent).

5) Do a regular wash in warm water with zero residue detergent (“Pureen H-A-D”).

6) Rinse diapers in lots of water to avoid  build-up of detergent, bacteria or urine

7) Once washed, your diapers should not smell like urine or detergent! If they smell of detergent or urine, wash them again in plenty of warm water.

8) Dry in the dryer or outside, sunlight will help to kill the bacteria.

9) Hand wash will prolong the life spend of the cloth diaper.

You may also use special additives to remove stubborn stains. The mentioned additives are as followed.

Baking Soda – It will remove acidity and bad odors. Ideal to utilize in the pre-rinse session.

Bleach – Baby diapers should go through a bleaching process at frequent intervals. This will prevent the accumulation of stains. You can also be free from stinking smells. Chlorine bleach should not be used for cloth diapers.

Fabric Softener – Vinegar heals the fabric quite naturally. It will soften the fabric and removes the stagnant residue present on the cloth diapers. As vinegar has the capacity to change the PH, you should use as rarely as possible. You should be extremely careful in usage of Vinegar with hard water.

Omega 3 Fatty Acid

Omega-3 Fatty Acid

Do you familiar with the term Omega -3 Fatty Acid? But no idea what it's for? And where it's from?   A healthy body has became a very crucial part of our hectic life nowadays. With the consuming of lots of processed foods as well as insufficient of rest and exercises, our health level may tend to decrease from day to day.. In order to add on the essential nutrient to our body, we may opt to consume good intake of supplement. Omega-3 fatty acid is one of the very important nutrient that our body need.  Thus, I would like to share with you what is actually Omega-3 fatty acid and why it's beneficial to our body!! :)

What is Omega -3 Fatty Acid??

Omega 3 fatty acids are a certain type of unsaturated fat that the body needs but cannot produce on its own; therefore it must be obtained from food. The three main types of Omega 3 fatty acids that are integral to the body’s metabolism are a-Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic Acid (ELA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA).

Why do we need Omega-3 Fatty Acid?

Polyunsaturated fats (Omega 3 fatty acids), are actually beneficial to your overall health. Omega 3 fatty acids truly play a key role in lowering the body’s cholesterol.

Omega 3 fatty acids offer a host of other benefits to overall health which include but are not limited to:

• Lowering blood pressure levels
• Preventing allergies
• Reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases
• Promoting healing from illness or injury
• Balancing blood sugar levels
• Combating depression
• Preventing certain cancers
• Boost the immune system. 

A 2010 study of 3,081 women suffering from breast cancer was done to research the effects of polyunsaturated fats on breast cancer. It demonstrated that the consumption of high amounts of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fats from food produced a 25% reduced risk of additional breast cancer events. These women were also shown to have reduced risk of "all-cause mortality". 

The DHA obtained through the consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids is positively associated with cognitive and behavioral performance. In addition DHA is vital for the grey matter structure of the human brain, as well as retinal stimulation and neurotransmission.A University of Pittsburgh research team recently published results in the journal PLOSOne regarding omega-3's ability to improve memory and reduce the occurrence of dementia in aging adults.

Omega 3 improves cardiovascular health.Some evidence suggests that people with certain circulatory problems, such as varicose veins, may benefit from the consumption of EPA and DHA, which may stimulate blood circulation, increase the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation, and, in addition, may reduce blood pressure.Evidently, n−3 fatty acids reduce blood triglyceride levels, and regular intake may reduce the risk of secondary and primary heart attack.  The long chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA have been shown to effectively lower the risk of heart disease and heart attack 

Omega-3 fatty acids offer a promising complementary approach to standard treatments for ADHD and developmental coordination disorder. Fish oils appear to reduce ADHD-related symptoms in some children. 


The Journal of Nutrition published a report in 2007 about the benefits of Omega 3 on immune system response.  The study revealed that infants who were given Omega 3 from cow’s milk, formula or with fish oil had stronger immune function development compared to infants who did not consume Omega 3.  

Believe it or not, the latest findings conclude that regular consumption of fish oil can also help you lose weight.Experts suggest that fish oil helps with weight loss because Omega 3 fatty acids improve the body’s blood flow to the muscles during exercise which helps stimulate the enzymes that carry fat to where it is stored and then metabolized.

Taking enough of these supplements appears to have enormous health benefits -- including dramatic anti-aging effects.
