Many a time we are concern about food safety. How about skincare safety?
Does effective means good or safe?
Skin is our largest and most permeable organ in our body. We have about 5 million pores on our skin of which about 20,000 on our face.
Where has the largest skin pores? The bottom of the feet.
On our face, where do you find the most pores?
Nose, forehead & cheeks
How many follicles / pores on our head?
About 100,000!
We have 2 million pores across our skin!
For food, when we ate contaminated or uncleaned food, we have a digestive system to expel out the toxic but skin it don't work the same way. Generally, about 60% of what we put onto our skin is directly absorbed into our bloodstream.
There are also other considering factors on what we apply to our body and face that can harm our body.
The chemical size of the skincare products. Have you heard of skincare ingredient being nanonized? The smaller the skincare ingredients, the higher the risks especially to our liver if the ingredients are unsafe.
The chemical concentration. The number and concentration of unsafe ingredients used.
The exposure length. How long the products stay on our skin.
The area of skin exposed. As mentioned, our head has many follicles and it is very common people colour. cover their white hair and hair treatment as often as monthly, how much and how often are you exposed to these harmful ingredients?
Also, our nose, forehead and cheeks have the most pores!
And if your skin is wounded, it has a higher absorption rate too.
Not forgetting some part of our body, the skin is more delicate than the others. The thickness of the skin plays a part too.
Beside eating right with Nutritional Immunology food to nourish our cells from in to out, do take note of the beauty products you apply and do to your body!

Although each born with unique personality, with nurturing environment, they can strive well in the right direction.
The first 7 years of a child life is important to build their foundation for health, learning attitude, characters & values. We do our best to create the exposure for them in these areas.
Thank God that our kids are easy with eating and enjoy most of the food I prepare for them to build a healthy body. I'm glad that they are free from medication for 8 years. From young, I inculcate the importance of taking more wholesome plant, fruits and vegetables and taking Healthy Breakfast of high protein, fibre and antioxidants when we break fast.
Practising sustainable habits require discipline and determination. It can be painful but it definitely gives a greater and long term rewards.
No one is perfect.
Let's strive to do our best as parent and build an antifragile lifestyle for ourselves and family.
Many a time we let the unhappiness, grievance and, anger of the past consume us and affecting our current emotion and behaviours. The present choices with accumulation to react to the past, can result in future unhealthy you.
When you are caught in a moment of negative emotion or behaviour, focus on mindfulness breathing. With consistent practise, you might notice that the ability to let go of the negativity comes easier. You are no longer focusing on your PAST emotion and behaviour but staying in the PRESENT in breathing in and out, to create a new realm of FUTURE not of your past.
Just image with a snap of your fingers or a clap, the action is a past. You are in the future.
Do not let the past destroy your future.

Do you experience excruciating menstruation pain and discomfort?
A study has shown that about 15% of the women experience excruciating pain which affects their work and activities for 1-2 days.
Personally, I do have a few friends who experience severe pain and either have to excuse from work or feeling discomfort for several days or months and even years. Imagine your car brake has worn off and you continue driving for days and months, what will happen next ?
What cause menstruation pain? Before menstruation, our body will release large amount of inflammatory prostaglandins which constrict the blood vessels in the uterus and make the muscle layer contract, causing painful cramps. When the prostaglandins enter the bloodstream, it might cause headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
How do women usually cope with menstruation pain? Usually women take pain killer to reduce the pain.
Our liver is our detox organ. Singapore being a food haven, we are exposed to high processed, high sugar, oily food which over work our liver to detox. With medication on a regular basis, our liver will be overburdened and toxic will start accumulating in the body. It becomes a vicious cycle.
What are the food that fight inflammation and tame menstruation pain? Wholesome food such as vegetables and fruits high in antioxidants and phytochemicals, eg berries, cactus, acerola cherry and rose.
High fibre and protein grains and legume such as psyllium husk, oats, soy, quinoa, kiwi seed and chia seeds.
Research has shown that a plant base diet decrease body inflammation in the body. This is due to the high antioxidants and phytochemicals found in plant food that help the body to function more effectively.
Animal products do not contain antioxidants, phytochemicals and fibre and contain fat content and estrogen which trigger the release of large amount of inflammatory prostaglandins which causes the menstruation pain and discomfort.
My clients often tell me, "do you mean i have to become a vegetarian to be healthy???"
It is not the amount of junk food we eat that cause us to be unhealthy. It is, we do not consume larger amount of disease fighting food which has high antioxidants, phytochemicals and polysaccharides.
High meat diet also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases as well as hormonal disease and cancers.
With a change to a vegan and plant base diet, study has shown that women suffer lesser menstruation pain, water retention and mood swing.
Start taking baby steps. Once you experience free from pain, improve in complexion, stamina, quality of sleep and productivity, most likely you will not turn back.
Do not confuse Phytoestrogen with Estrogen Plant estrogen is called, Phytoestrogen. It exist in wholesome plant, fruits and vegetables. Estrogen exist in meat.
We need estrogen in our body to grow healthy cells. Animal base estrogen promote the growth of health cells as well as the development of cancer cells.
In contrast, phytoestrogen not only aid in promoting the growth of healthy cells and also inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells.
High meat diet also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases as well as hormonal disease and cancers.
With a change to a morevegan and plant base diet, study has shown that women suffer lesser menstruation pain, water retention and mood swings.
Start taking baby steps. Once you experience free from pain, improve in complexion, stamina, quality of sleep and productivity, highly you will not turn back.
Where can you conveniently consume a high fibre, protein, antioxidants, phytochemicals and polysaccharide food?

Initially i was skeptical with covid-19 vaccination however i have been learning from World Nutritional Immunologist, Dr Chen Jau Fei and Dr EE Zhang since May 2020 at their monthly online health talks on the progression of the vaccination, i grown confident in having vaccination for my family.
Having said that, been vaccinated does not means we are bullet-proof from getting covid-19. To increase the effectiveness and reducing the impact of suffering from Covid-19, our immune system is still the key to health.
99% of the illnesses are caused by the malfunction of our immune system.
when 1mm ie 1 million cancer cells is detected by the most advance medical equipment, generally 2/3 of the cancer journey is gone.
Being healthier when we are health, lead a Nutritional Immunology lifestyle.
For those who are about to get yours or sending your kids for jab , do take note of the following
1) be hydrated well
2) after the jab, you might experience possible side effects such as body ache, swelling and pain at injection site, fever, chills, headaches, tiredness, lymph node swelling(usually gets better by itself for the swelling in a week or so ) at neck or arms.
3) Do take rest and don't exert yourself in physical activities.
What did we take before we have our Covid-19 Pfizer vaccination?
My Mother in Law and hubby took the vaccination before myself and Alyssa. They had taken Nutritional Immunology food before their vaccination and experienced lesser side effect after the vaccination.
Myself, i had my 1st vaccination at 930am and late after i started to feel a bit sore on the arm till the next day late afternoon. No fever non feeling tired. I still went to work.
Alyssa, 12 years old, had her 1st vaccination at 8am and on and off felt a bit sore on her arm.
Both of us took Rosytime before our 1st Covid-19 Pfizer vaccination.
I have a few clients who taken the vaccination and feedback to me that they did not experience very much of the side effects as most people too.
Nourish our immune system with 3 disease fighting nutrients of Phytochemicals, Antioxidants and Polysaccharides to help us self defence, cleanse and repair.
Nourishing our body is a constant affair and not when we fall sick.

Do you know that your poo tells you something about your health? Asian Microbiome Library found that over one-third of those whose poop were analysed had high potential for producing TMAO.
That's a compound the body produces when it digests red meat, fish, eggs and dairy products which increase the risk of of death and non fatal cardiovascular diseases, a leading cause of death in Singapore.

They help digest food, absorb and synthesise nutrients from food.

The food we consume, mental health, physical health and aging could potential affect the gut microbiome.
According to Cleveland Clinic research published in the New England Journal of Medicine, gut bacteria are essential for TMAO formation. When subjects ate 2 hard boiled eggs, the TMAO levels in their blood increased.

Do you know, Ginseng is good for our mental health and also enhances immune cells?
Since the ancient times, Ginseng has been used for its health benefits. A research paper published August 2020 found that ginseng can help boost immunity both actively and passively by enhancing the actions of various immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer cells. Researchers also found that ginseng has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects. Additionally, various ginsenosides can help suppress cancer cells, and long-term use can decrease the incidence of cancer. Ginseng may even help autoimmune diseases such as, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, lupus etc, due to its immunomodulatory effects.
Do you know, many commercial ginseng and even cordycep are preserved by fumigating with sulphur.
You can conveniently consume ginseng that's not fumigated with sulphur but have the skin scrapped away like carrot and going through freeze drying for quality and safe consumption with Rhapsody, tothink and e-memories.

Spending quality time with our 1st born over dinner at 1 of her favorite cuisine places.
PSLE is a very busy year for Alyssa . It is gonna get tougher and busier for her as she transit from GEP to normal P6 stream preparation for PSLE.
These couple of years, she dropped her favourite hobbies of singing, music development and soccer due to hectic schedule.
Lately, every Fri she has to wake up at 6am and sleep at nearly 11pm. Having back to back activities. Gosh, not sure even how an adult can cope and this is just 1 of the days.
Fri, after school, she goes for badminton tournament then rush to her Chinese enrichment, 30-45min dinner then rush for her science enrichment which ends at 930pm, in her school uniform.
Oh, today she and her school team won the match!!! I wish that the school team will complete their race to the Final and make the school proud.
In case you think we are the one packing her with the enrichment, our kids have the freedom to decide if they need extra help then we look for schools for them since they go primary school.
To prepare her for this challenging year, i have been giving her and my 2nd child, Zachary who is 10 years old, e-memories since beginning of the year. This week she had oral tests, so i added tothink for them. They will continue the tothink till the May exam ends.
With the brain food, i want them to stay more focus and concentrated during learning and give them energy to last the day.
I have also give my 2.5 year old son, Elijah e-memories too since he starts childcare in mar 2021.
As a parent, what we can do for them is give them moral support and highly nutritional healthy food for the physical and mental development. Kids only grow once and diet can greatly impact a child physical and mental development way when they are in the womb!!! Yes, you heard me right, from the womb. Elijah is fortunate to be nourished from the womb as i already got to know about the science of Nutritional Immunology 8 years ago.💓 A child diet can impact them from womb to adolescence and adulthood. Childhood obesity and health issues are on the rise too. Parents, do give your growing kids highly nutritional food, such as a high plant protein and fibre breakfast. Minimise processed, oily, empty calories and preservative food.
Do your best, Alyssa. No matter what is your result, we know you will do your best to be the best you can be. We love you for who you are, not your result.
Be a wiser consumer.

Being healthy is not a goal.

Beside the Healthy Breakfast for all my kids and myself, what other brain food do i give my children?
Before i move on, let's learn why a high protein and fibre healthy breakfast is important.
I just introduce e memories to Elijah, my 29 months old toddler.
Recent research confirms
that the first five years are particularly important for the development of the
child's brain, and the first three years especially are the most critical in
shaping the child's brain architecture.
Kids learn the most during this period of time. Therefore beside investing time to stimulate
him, we provide him with the right brain food to protects his neuro and keep them
healthy.
Share with everyone the experiences of PlusO2 from my friends.
What is PlusO2?
Do you want to:
look younger than your age?
Improve your eye bags and dark circles?
Increase skin elasticity
But afraid of the knife, safety and the exorbitant recurring costs of botox or plastic surgery?
PlusO2 is a powerful restorative concentrate developed with Oxyginberry Complex. It breathes new life into your skin with its light, airy, bubbly formula. Skin appears smoother and clearer after use.
Experience • more oxygen from 5 types of perfluorocarbon (PFCs) for unraveled results that lead to firmer and young-looking skin
• 6 high antioxidants ingredients from Oxyginberry Complex that help defend signs of aging
• 3 types of peptides that serve as building blocks for protein such as collagen, elastin and keratin. They act as emollient in Skincare to soothe and moisturise sensitive skin.
• Plant prebiotic that carbohydrate complex and water binding agent that may help balance the skin's microbiome.
What happen when our skin lacks oxygen?
A lack of oxygen can speed up premature aging of the skin and make the skin appear older!
Slow collagen production
Slow cell renewal
Age faster
Slow skin healing
Weak skin barrier
Skin appears darker and dull
To slow down the signs of aging:
Give the body a better source of oxygen. Eg PlusO2
Use sun protection and avoid UV rays and external pollutants to reduce free radical formation. Eg Sunnytime SPF 50+++
Pay attention to skin moisturization and nourishment. Eg Energy and Oasis Series from Elemente
Consume high antioxidant rich plant foods such as wholesome plant, fruits ad vegetables. Eg from Oxyginberry and Rosytime
Larry is a hardworking professional who is always on time for work and put in extra hours to be the best employee. His life is basically work and home.
Scott, invest his time in reading books and exercising and eating healthily daily.
Brad chooses to invest in entrainment gadgets and stay on his couch most of the time.
1 day, it seem not much different from their daily lifestyle.
This goes for 30 days.
Let's take a look after 30 days. Larry becomes tired physically and mentally due to long working hours and work stress and also taking a toil on his relationships with his family and friends.
Scott is getting more energetic from his daily healthy lifestyle and diet and getting more popular and wiser among his family and friends from his wide reading.
Brad is growing wider in size due to the long resting and snacking on the couch with his entertainment. His vision is a little affected too and get lethargic easily.
This is only 30 days.
How about we convert the 30 days to 30 years?
What if this experiment is on your health, finances, parenting, lifestyle?
Are you Larry, Scott or Brad?
Who do you really want to be?
To be who you really want to be, STARTS NOW!

Before the launch of PlusO2, i heard so much on the goodness of it and how affordable this premium home treatment is.
Therefore, when it was launched on 1 March 2021, i bought my 1st 2 dozens without hesitation!
3rd dozen
4th dozen in 2 weeks!

How to use PlusO2?
The "white formation" or bubbles formation is the air capsules formation when the 5 types of PFCs are exposed to the air bringing oxygen to the skin. I use PlusO2 day and night as moisturiser. You may use 1-2x a week as Oxygen Spa for a great skin booster!
Also to share, I'm using this cleansing liquid facial wash (This cleansing liquid wash is good to remove make up too!) as my first step facial regime, follow by PlusO2, Oxyginberry Essence, Energy Serum then Poreless Perfect Make up base SPF 30 PA+++.
If your skin need more hydration, add on Energy lotion for day and Energy cream for night after padding Oxyginberry Essence.
At least 1-2x a week, i would use Blanc Light Reveal (scrub) as my facial exfoliation and and enhance the absorption of my premium skincare.
Experience from Mdm Chee, 77 years, on PlusO2
After 2 weeks of PlusO2
I use PlusO2 on Elijah too! He starts to develop eczema after 1 year old and he is now 28 month.
