STOP FLU dengan ZINC

Wahai Rakan Sekalian,

(saya akan tulis blog ini menggunakan bahasa pasar kerana mood saya cenderung begitu hari ini. kepada yang sakit kepala membacanya, saya minta maaf. lain hari saya tulis dalam bahasa baku :P )

Hari ni saya mahu berkongsi sesuatu yang cukup berguna.

Musim panas macam ini, sudahlah tak cukup minum air, habuk berterbangan, mula la kita rasa kerongkong gatal dan kering.

Haa.. mesti takutkan. sebab bila kering macam ni, musim demam pun datangla. Hampir separuh dari keseluruhan kanak kanak akan meleleh dengan hingus.

Satu terjangkit kawan, balik rumah jangkit adik, abang kakak, ibu bapa, nenek... semua la, tiada yang terkecuali.

Demam yang saya maksudkan ialah demam selesma biasa. bukan demam denggi ka, demam sebab jangkitan paru paru ka. walaupun demam biasa saja, ia bukan sesuatu yang menyenangkan. Sangat lah menyusahkan apabila badan tidak cukup fit untuk terus bekerja, belajar, beriadah dan sebagainya

Mahukah kamu tahu tentang cara senang untuk menguatkan sistem imun diri bagi mencegah daripada dijangkit virus virus ini? Atau lebih luar biasa lagi, kalau sudah terjangkit, mahukah kamu menamatkan riwayat virus itu sebelum ia memaharaja lela di tubuh anda!

Kalau anda katakan YA, saya MAHU.

Maka anda perlukan supplement ZINC!

apakah ZINC ini? boleh ka saya makan atap rumah saya, zinc juga kan
hahaha... lawak betul la. mmg la ada juga atap zinc. tapi saya rasa tidak logic mau makan. kalau makan pun, cedera diri saja.

ZINC tersedia dalam bentuk supplement. macam kalsium, zat besi dan sebagainya.
ia tersedia dalam bentuk mudah ditelan dan diserap,

Apakah kebaikan ZINC ini.
sangatlah banyak sampaii saya rasa kalau tulis smua mesti kamu boring.

Saya mau tekankan fungsi meningkatkan sistem IMUN tubuh kita.

Bagaimana?
Jika kekurangan zinc, tentera tubuh kita iaitu sel darah putih tidah dapat berfungsi melawan penyakit. tak kisah la, virus ka, bacteria ka. Dia akan jadi lemah.

Zinc juga terlibat dalam proses replikasi DNA dan RNA, aktivasi cell, pembiakan cell dan kestabilan permukaan sel.

cakap saja banyak kan... mana bukti.

memandangkan orang yang buat kajian itu orang puteh! bukan Qu puteh ok, Jadi jurnal ini juga dalam bahasa English. saya yakin kamu semua hebat english. kalau tak brapa... google translate saja la.

THE COCHRANE REVIEW

perpustakaan cochrane ini rumah kepada berjuta juta jawapan. mesti pandai cari dan Fahamkan saja.

Review itu mengatakan bahawa, zinc yang dimakan dalam masa 24 jam permulaan jangkitan, dapat dipendekkan jangkamasa jangkitan tersebut.

boleh faham ka ayat tu?

maksudnya, kalau tak ambil zinc, sakit biasanya akan reda dlm 5 hari. kalau makan zinc, mungkin sakit 2-3 hari dan sakit pun tak teruk.

bacalah sendiri, baru faham. nanti kata saya tipu pulak.

Kalau suka Membaca, mari baca lebih banyak ilmu lagi di SINI.

Ok, saya harap kalian semua ada menimba sedikit sebanyak ilmu baru untuk kebaikan sekeluarga.

Disini ada beberapa soalan lazim ditanya.

1. Takpa ka kalau demam tak keluar. nanti demam stuck? Demam tu tindak balas badan kepada jangkitan dan benda asing dalam badan. tiada istilah demam tersekat ka dan sebagainya. kalau jangkitan sudah terbatal.. maka, tiadala demam.
2. Tidak bahaya ka kalau sakit tu tidak keluar. nanti memudaratkan badan? Sakit selesma ini, disebabkan virus, biasanya virus rhinovirus, parainfluenze dan influenze. kita terjangkit dari orang lain yang sakit. virus yang sedikit, membiak jadi banyak. bila cukup tentera, maka kita akan jadi sakit. apa yang kita lakukan dengan zinc ialah memendekkan hayat virus, menghalangnya dari berjaya mendirikan tentera. jadi, apabila bilangannya sedikit, sistem imun badan pun dapat menghapuskannya!

Should you take supplements?

Living is all about making choices. 

Choices!

We make choices daily whether it is obvious or not. We make a choice whether to snooze or to rise, to shower or to bath, which clothes to wear for the day, what to eat for breakfast, and the list just keeps going as you live your daily life.

Some choices are more important than others. That's because some choices will lead to lifelong consequences. For eg, the people you date, your choice of food, your lifestyle, who you wanna marry, and much much more.

Among these mind boggling choices is one equally important choice, 

Should you take supplements?

 Well, yes, of course. Fine, you can argue that u are doing fine without them.. healthy as a horse, no chronic illness, you exercise, you watch what you eat. fine. but you, my friend are a rare species. most of us have little to no time to do all the required healthy stuff like cooking right, shopping for best produce, exercise, prepare breakfast and so on. 

Thats why obesity is on the rise, with it, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and other debilitating chronic disease caused by poor choices in early life.

We work so hard, invest our hours for money. then we invest money for the future. but at the rate you are going, you probably wont get to enjoy your future. How to enjoy your life earned sweat if u end up sick, at the hospital most of the days? sucks right?

We take our Health for granted, we dont think of how life would be if we are sick. When you get sick, you can no longer work, you can't provide for your family, you cannot care for your loved  ones, you cannot do the things you love, you cannot see or go places, life has put a limit on you!

So yes, a boost in our nutrition can balance out the bad habits that we do. A simple protein shake can provide you a healthy breakfast. multivits can provide your daily nutrients in just one gulp. extras.. like VIt A,E,C can cope with the stress your body endures daily. good antioxidants can avoid lots of problems and improve energy, healthy and beauty.

Choosing a healthy lifestyle is one of the most important choices in life. 

why? it will, in a way or another, determined your future health and fitness. 

Having a drastic change can be hard for you, so start small. baby steps towards a better and improved you. how? start by taking more fluids. most of all drink half of the recommended 8 glasses of water a day. You can get yourself a quick Multivitamin. Just take em with any meal of the day and you would have done yourself (your body) a big big favor. Foods these days are mostly modified, they dont grow as long as they should, hence their nutrient values vary greatly, depending on the soil and sunlight that they are exposed to.

but remember to choose your supplements too. Like all things in life, such as cars, clothes or food, there are good ones... and then there are also BAD ones. If your aim is to be healthy, but you compromise and go for just any supplements because it is cheap.. please think again.

If you are a veteran at this being healthy business, you might want to tailor pick your vitamins or supplements. you know what you lack, what you want, and the outcome you are expecting. hence you can choose to boost certain nutrient contents in your body. of course, this has to be done with some medical supervision. some vitamins can accumulate in your body and cause toxicity. But these are rare if you follow the instructions of your supplements.

For eg. you want to focus on you problematic skin issue. its always dry, dull and breaks out easily. You would like then to consider your skin's best friends... A, E, C. If breakouts are really bad, Zinc might help as well. 

For those with weight issues, you need to focus on limiting calories while finding ways to boost metabolism. Remember, muscles are your factories. they are the one burning all the fuel.. if you diet the starvation way.. you will burn fat AND muscle. hence, it will worsen your weight loss efforts. you will slow down from losing fat and you end up giving up. so calories can be controlled with shakes or meal replacement programs and metabolism can be boost with vit B, alfalfa and so on. 

Those are just some of the examples. 

The message is just this. 

If you are healthy, please prevent disease by maintaining your body in tip top shape. If you already have problems. it is not too late. some problems can be corrected, and may even be caused by deficient nutrients.

I can go on forever on this matter. 

I have made my choice and it is one which I am glad for.

I choose to take supplements.

And not only that, I choose to take the best.

How bout you... Be the difference in your future. Make that right decision for a better you and better tomorrow.

If you are a mother, do it for your kids,

if you are a husband, do it for your family,

if you are doing a job you love, do it to continue your passion,

most importantly, do it for yourself. 

You deserve the best. 

You deserve Health and all the joys that come with it.

The Secret to Healthy skin!

Ladies and concerned gentlemen.

Beautiful skin may be a thing which seems impossible for you to achieve. Don't fret, don't despair, don't give up just yet.

Here I would like to share some common knowledge, some indepth science behind it, and maybe some tips to help you achieve the skin you desire!

The all too common scenario would be, 

Miss A has a skin problem, let us just say it acne, not too bad, but acne sprouting like weed around her face. She freaks out (duh!), goes to her local pharmacy, and gets a ton of facial products!
After sometime she realises it doesnt help her at all.
So she ups the budget, goes to a beauty saloon or a beautician and purchase branded facial products.
she spends hundreds if not thousands of dollars and get minimal results.
Always the promise result if you would go to facials more often, use their products religiously, 3-4x daily. follow the hundreds of steps, wash, cleanse, use a spot corrector, use a base, and so on.

Does it start to feel familiar to you?
would you believe if i told you my beauty routine is short and sweet, uses inexpensive products that actually keeps your skin healthy.

My secret is that beauty comes from within.

Lets get to know your skin a little better. 

so as you can see, skin is formed out of 3 important layers. 

our concern now would be epidermis - the outer most layer that people see, and the dermis.

Now even tho the dermis is inside, it is the powerhouse of your beauty. if things fail here, then all you get is saggy ol wrinkle epidermis.

epidermis is constantly shedding, it is replace by newer cells from underneath. It the dermis' job to ensure that the nutrients is supplied to this renewing layer. Hence, if circulation is good, and there is optimal nutrients supplied, the shedding will occur as destined and the new skin would be glowing and healthy.

remember, if there is harmony within you, physically, emotionally, you will definitely show it on the outside. dull skin reflects dull conditions within your body down to the cellular level.

So what you need is to do from the INSIDE

1. get good circulation. no smoking, good exercise, take foods that promote circulation. all these will contribute to blood getting to the smallest capilaries and deliver oxygen to every single cell in need
2. get good nutrition - every cell is our body is made up of protein, fat, minerals and runs on a bunch of different vitamins.its like building a car, if you are missing some parts, things wont run smoothly. I'll share with you what vitamins works best for the extra glow of skin. but keep in mind, the aim is to achieve overall wellness, so it would be wise to start with a good Multiviitamin.
3. drink lots of fluid. Our metabolism and cell function depend alot on hydration. water keeps our blood volume adequate, and blood pressure optimal for nutrient and waste transport, we told how important it is for ur growing and renewing cells to get nutrient, it is as important for the waste products of metabolism to be flushed out. your kidneys would have a happier time with good fluid intake. when i say fluid, i mean plain water. no sweet gassy drinks from hell.
4. Get adequate rest and relieve stress. You heard of the term beauty sleep right? its no wonder, enough sleep actually gives your skin a better glow. sleep according to the sun cycle. not stay awake at night and sleep in the day. we are not bats. and bats dont have good skin :P All those stress hormones and responses actually punishes your skin in several ways, your circulation becomes poor, immunity gets suppressed and you get acne, your oil glands curn face butter in horrifying quantities. that is just naming some. read more

What to do from the OUTSIDE

1. Protect yourself from the sun. Sunscreen is a must. not only the face but any skin exposed. use long sleeved clothing. use a hat with a brim. avoid the sunlight whenever possible especially from 11am to 2pm
2. Moisturise moisturise moisturise! healthy skin needs a balanced moisture condition. too dry it will be aggravated and produce excess oil too. 
3. Keep your filthy fingers of your face! your hand harbour billions of microbs. many can potentially cause breakouts. when not necessary, don't touch your face. that includes no pinching the zit, not resting your face on your palm, no wiping sweat with your bare hands. 
4. ex foliate gently at least once or twice a week. remember that the dead skin can make you look dull. taking off some of that dead debris can be good for you.
5. use a gentle cleanser. any cleanser that leaves you feeling tight and stiff after usage is stripping away all the good stuff off your face.
6. limit bath time and use lukewarm water. long baths and shower especially with hot water will cause your skin to be stripped of its natural oils. I'm guilty as charged! I mean come on.. who can resist a relaxing hot shower while singing to mariah carey!

NUTRITION!

Start by eating healthy. I dont mean turn into a bunny, but if you can, thats great. 

if you know you can't eat at least 5 servings of vege and 3 servings of fruits a day, please get help, get supplements.

we live in a modern world where tecchnology is suppose to help us be more healthy, and make our efforts easy, but instead, we see obesity on the rise!

cut down those fatty fried foods. if you really love fast foods, go for shakes, or low fat yogurts. trust me, protein based drinks will give you a full feeling.

If you are in the mission of finding supplements that leads to supple, vibrant, healthy skin, here are some options

Vit A and its families (precursors,, the stuff before it becomes vit A)

vitamin A is the heart of healthy skin. without it, other efforts would be futile.

Vitamin E
powerful anti oxidant. it protects Vit A, kinda like a body guard to miss A.i mean Vit A.

It also contains grape seed extract, good for circulation and has anti inflammatory effect.

Vitamin C

We all know Miss Vit C. she has been the hype of all vitamins. we take it during colds to reduce duration and severity even though no studies proves this belief.

But Vit C is a known anti oksidant too. it works with E to protect A. if you got all three, you are halfway there.

VIVIX- Polyphenols and resveratrol!

powerful plant origin antioxidants, it has anti ageing properties by protecting from the cellular level down to the DNA!

If Acne is your vice, you need a dose of ZINC.

Now other supplements will depend on your underlying problems. 

lets say you got diabetes, than circulation and sugar control is your priority. you might need supplements like GLA, Garlic, and Omega to help out.

So I dont think it is possible for me to predicts and give sollutions to all possibilities, if you wanna know, or wanna share, please feel free to use the comments.

You should reward yourself with the chance to get beautiful skin!

Good Luck to achieving harmony and getting your dream skin health!
