Beauty from Within I - Drink water for beautiful skin

Water in very important to us, especially Women!

Water is the most economic and practical "skin care product".

Our average water intake per day is recommended to be 2-3 litres. It is a good habit to drink 1-2 glasses of warm water on an empty stomach in the morning. You may add in apple ciger vinger or some lemon juice for favor before drinking. It helps to clear our vowels and replenish the loss of water during the night.

As some of you might say, 2 litres of water per day is too much for me. Here are some of the recommended timing:
6-7am: 1-2 glass (250ml) of warm water.

830am: 1 glass of water after you reach your office.

1130am: Drink water before meal to activiate the digestive system.

1pm: Drink a glass of water after lunch.

230pm: A glass of water or green tea to reduce your fatigue.

530pm: Drink a glass to replenish the loss of water before you leave the office. You will experience fullness and hence help to reduce your meal intake.

830pm: Drink some water/juices at least 1-1.5 hours before you sleep.

Dear Ladies, nothing can replace the good quality water which is the most important drink that you ever need. Resist all carbonate, caffeine and sweet beverages.

PROTEIN - Building Blocks of Life

Protein is a basic macronutrient, protein is essential in our everyday life. The building block of every organism, protein is found in every cell, muscle and tissue in our body. Besides that, Protein is also present in many of the food that we eat.

Protein is made of amino acids. When the protein we eat is disgested, it is broken down into individual amino acids. These amino acids are then reformed into new protein for the body's use.

The benefits of protein are wide and varied. To start with:

o Protein is indispensable for the growth and maintenance of every kind of cell in our body.

o Body development, replenishment of lost blood, healing of wounds and scars, replacement of dead cells, and hair and nail growth need protein.

o Protein in form of enzymes, hormones and antibodies promotes healthy metabolic and physiological processes, and boosts our nervous and immunity systems.

o In situations when fat and carbohydrate food sources are not providing adequate calories, protein is used to generate the calories we need.
o Protein also makes antibodies and haemoglobin.

Body Detox

Air that we breath, food that we eat, drugs that we take & having stress from work, family & etc, resulted toxin slowly building up in our body. So through body detoxification, we can actually enhance our self clarifying, self protecting and self healing capability. Most people may have the concept that detoxing is actually starving ourselves, and it is totally WRONG! When you are detoxing, the energy that is normally used for metabolic activities in the body is now used for getting rid of the toxin.

Recently, I have attended the diet detoxification camp. Diet detoxification basically let our digestive system to have 'sufficient rest' and our body will more effectively helps to emusify & burn off our body waste, fats and remove damaged cells; repair our cell sytsem and increase our immune system and reduce toxins & excessive water in our body. After this camp, my body is basically got fully recharged and I feel for energistic, body weight reduced and even my skin become smoother!

One way to stay health is detox!!!

Detox for Beautiful Skin!

Everyday, our body are absorbing all kinds of toxics: - stress, pollution from water (that we drink) & air (that we breath), processed food and unhealthy lifestyle. We will feel tired, restless and result in poor health and dull and lousy skin.


Detox is the one of the way to our good health and beautiful skin!!! Other than maintain healthy lifestyle, we must also E.A.R.N - Exercising, having positive Attitude, sufficient Rest and taking Nutrition food. That is the way to good health!!!


Gua Sha Facial treatment will be another way to detox for beautiful skin!!! Check it out on http://www.youtube.com/plugnp

After detox for our skin, we also need to detox our body for better health. So stay tune for my next blog on body detox!!!

健康就是美! Part 2

缺乏蛋白质容易引起的症狀
因为蛋白质是形成荷尔蒙与酵素、维持身体酸碱平衡、构成神经传导物质的主要元素，所以蛋白质缺乏時，抵抗力会下降、抗压性会減弱、注意力不易集中、头发易枯黃、指甲易断裂、皮肤变得粗糙无弹性、身体出現水肿現象，而且会影响出血伤口血液的凝固，严重缺乏時也会影响眼睛的正常視觉 。


蛋白质的摄取量
要维持身体的健康，必须補充足夠的蛋白质，且蛋白质是不可取代的，无法像脂肪一样多吃了可以储存起來； 由于蛋白质能储存在肝臟的量很低，因此蛋白质需要每餐都攝取。蛋白质含量比较丰富的食物为：肉、鱼、蛋、奶、大豆。


选择优质蛋白质
蛋白质是由胺基酸组成的，我們所吃的蛋白质会经过胃肠的消化，变成小单位的胺基酸，再由小单位的胺基酸形成人体的蛋白质，如肌肉、组织器官等。胺基酸共有22种，其中有几种人体无法自行合成，一定要藉由饮食攝取的胺基酸称为「必需胺基酸」，人体所需的必需胺基酸有8种，对婴幼儿而言有9种，如攝取到品质不良的蛋白质，有可能造成肝脏負担。因此，若正常饮食无法攝取充足的蛋白质，就要選擇优质蛋白质來補充。


选择优质蛋白质
●选择高純度、低热量、低胆固醇的蛋白质。
●选择以大豆为主、奶蛋白为铺的蛋白质來源。因为大豆含有丰富的植物营养素，根据研究大豆具有调节血脂肪、減少钙质流失、抗氧化性、抗发炎等作用；而奶蛋白則能補足大豆较为欠缺的胺基酸，使蛋白质的品质更佳。


所以，在正常情況下，如果你每日蛋白质食物攝取不足5份、食欲不佳、营养不良，或喝牛奶容易腹泻者，都需要額外補充优质蛋白质來调整体质、增強体力，不仅可以让你身強体壯，更能增強抵抗力，捍卫你的健康！

使自己更加漂亮美丽吧!!!

健康就是美!

人是越来越注意健康了!!! 没有健康的体魄就没有漂亮的肌肤, 所以如何增強免疫力已经成为近年來最IN的保健话题. 从補充充足的营养与正常作息做起，提升個人免疫能力，才是最有效的預防之道, 而蛋白质才是增強抵抗力、维持生命及细胞正常运作最重要的基礎营养素。

蛋白质，捍卫你的健康

蛋白质(protein)这个字來自希腊文，就是「第一」的意思，它是除了水分外人体含量最多的物质，約占体重的1/5，从头发、皮肤、脸、手、腳、指甲，到內在的组织肌肉、器官、荷尔蒙、神经、血球、抗体等，都由蛋白质建造，是每個人的首要营养素。

而人体在细胞正常运作下，面对外來细菌、病毒等侵害，会自行制造球蛋白或白血球來保卫身体，这些宝贵的「战士」也是由蛋白质所组成的。

蛋白质的功效

蛋白质又称为人体的建筑师，負責建造组织、修护与调节等，可帮助胎儿、婴幼儿、儿童、青少年的成长发育，有助于哺乳妇女分泌乳汁，及协助运动员建造肌肉、增加肌力，对于修補自然损坏或老化的细胞与组织，如手术前后、烧烫伤病患、出血、胃腸溃疡、癌症等伤患，都有一定的功效。

特別在调节生理机能、提升免疫力的部分，优质蛋白质供应足夠時，可形成各种抗体，维持身体的抵抗力、抵抗传染病菌，为身体奠定良好的免疫力基礎。因此，当人体出現不適，或因紧张、压力、忧虑，造成身体的免疫功能下降時，都要特別注意是否缺乏蛋白质，或攝取蛋白质的品质。

下一次再告诉大家缺乏蛋白质容易引起的症狀及要攝取多少蛋白质来维持身体的健康。
