Kuching - National Diabetic Conference

I am leaving to Kuching on the 6th till 11th Oct for NADI roadshow there. My first time to go to East Malaysia, lots to expect.

This would be my 3rd time to join NADI roadshow, meeting lots of doctors, nurses, nursing tutors and medical trainees in this event.

We are introducing The Cambridge Health and Weight Plan to this group of people with the intention to get them to help themselves and also their patients to maintain the healthy BMI. Why? Obesity is getting worse worldwide, even lots of doctors in Malaysia are overweight, so it doesn't sound convincing if these doctors ask us to "stay healthy" when they don't look "healthy" right?

I hope can get more doctors to go on the weight management plan during the visit.

Real People, Real Support, Real Result!

30个医生来不及说的忠告

最近，美国《真简单》杂志刊登出10个学科医学专家来不及嘱咐患者的话，值得一读。

肿瘤专家：
肉最好煮着吃。高温火烤会使肉中氨基酸分解，并形成致癌物质。因此肉食最好烧煮。
养只宠物。可以增加人体内的内啡肽和催产激素，并能降低应激激素皮质醇，从而提高人体免疫力。

午餐慢慢吃。学学意大利人从容不迫地享受午餐，能够保护心血管，延缓衰老。

妇科专家：
切勿自行用药。如果自认为发生了真菌感染，可以适当吃一些常规药。但如果症状无法清除，最好去医院就诊。在妇科炎症中，有2/3的情况属于炎症或细菌感染。
避孕药利多弊少。避孕药并没有多少副作用，可使卵巢癌减少35%-50%。
性爱后小便。有助排出细菌，防止尿路感染。另外，每天一杯越橘汁也有助于防止膀胱炎。

牙科专家：

多摄入抗氧化剂。花椰菜和越橘等富含抗氧化剂的食物能防止牙龈炎。

少吃柠檬。柠檬汁不可过量饮用，更不要直接吮吸，因为酸类物质会破坏牙齿珐琅质。
使用软毛牙刷。牙刷太硬会损坏牙齿珐琅质，导致牙龈萎缩。可考虑使用电动软毛牙刷

足病专家：
给脚量尺寸。每隔几年应该测量一下脚的尺寸，特别是怀孕或体重改变后。鞋子太小会导致拇囊炎(拇趾与足间的关节外凸畸形)、鸡眼和槌状趾等问题。

经常换鞋。不要总穿同一高度的鞋子，否则会因压力过大伤脚，应该高跟鞋与平底鞋轮换着穿。
人字拖伤脚。经常赤脚或穿人字拖之类的鞋子会导致脚跟疼痛。

心脏病专家：

常测腰围。腹部脂肪堆积与心脏病关系极大，人的理想腰围应为35英寸(约合89厘米)以下。每天最好进行有氧锻炼，避免白面包等简单的碳水化合物等食物。
测量健康指数。如果你年过35岁，还不知道自己的血压及胆固醇水平，最好去医院查查，因为这些数据有助于预测心脏病风险。

适当吃坚果。核桃等坚果富含健康脂肪及α-亚油酸，不妨每周吃上几把，能使你的心脏更健康。

运动医学专家：
做自己不擅长的运动最有益，并保证运动多样化。如果将不同运动交替进行，能避免单一运动造成的肌肉锻炼失衡，导致运动过度或受伤。

女人要加强臀部锻炼。女性胯部及臀肌相对较弱，如果不加强锻炼，容易使髋关节压力过大。
定期更换运动鞋。跑完800公里(运动量相当于每天跑5公里，每周5次，持续5个月)就得换双运动鞋，否则容易导致运动损伤。

神经与记忆专家：
多项研究表明，字谜、填词及数独游戏有助于保护大脑。记忆锻炼也可以使大脑更灵活。建议采用“一看，二思，三联想”的记忆训练法。“看”，集中注意力；“思”，想象视觉画面；“联想”，结合一定的情景记忆。
冻结压力。长期的压力会造成大脑记忆区域萎缩，增加应激激素皮质醇，最终妨碍学习和记忆能力。

喝红葡萄酒。红葡萄酒中的抗氧化剂复合物对记忆有保护作用。建议饮用量是女性每天1杯，男性每天2杯。

脊柱外科专家：

锻炼核心肌肉群。锻炼腹肌可减少后背压力。俯卧并伸开双臂过头顶，然后臂膀及头部离开地面，做飞行姿势，保持几秒，再放松。
捡东西，靠近点。弯腰捡东西时，脊柱压力会增加4-5倍，动作过猛容易导致后背拉伤。所以，当有物品掉到地上时，最好走近点，然后弯腰捡起。
避免久坐。保持一个姿势太久，肌肉容易僵硬，椎间盘压力就会增加。建议每30-45分钟起身活动一下，有助于增加血液循环，有益脊柱健康。

心理学专家：
关注自我。无论是寻求心理咨询，练习冥想，还是写周记，一定要花点时间自我剖析，了解自己的担忧以及近期生活目标。

多社交。强大的社交网络有助促进身心健康。多参加一些社交活动，多与自己关注的人交往。

从锻炼中获得快感。每天安排一些锻炼项目有助保持旺盛的精力。锻炼是可以提升情绪的自然抗抑郁药。

家庭医生：
以生日提醒健康。将生日作为健康年检日，检查身体是否有不适，是否应该做相关检查等。
见医生前做好准备。最好理清自己想要与医生讨论的问题等。
关注家族成员健康。父母或兄弟姐妹的健康状况实际是你未来的一面镜子，因为有些疾病是具有家族性的。

从脸上看出健康

人体内脏机能的好坏会在脸上反映出来。忙忙碌碌的你不妨经常观察一下自己的脸，也许会发现身体健康状况的秘密。

额头皱纹突然增加

出现这种情况表明自己的肝脏负担过重，要少吃动物脂肪，如猪肉之类，而应多吃一些清淡的食物，如猪肝、菠菜、豆腐和鱼类等。

眼圈发黑，脸色晦暗

早上起来，如果发现自己面呈此状，表明肾脏负担太重了。要减少用盐量和用糖量，能不加糖的菜尽量不要加糖，用鸭肉煮栗子、烧大白菜等进行食疗，还可用红白萝卜煮肉汤喝。此外，用猪腰子煮汤吃也很有效果。

鼻子发红

鼻尖代表了心脏的情况。鼻尖呈红色或紫色可能是血压偏高，或盐和酒精摄取过多。

上嘴唇肿胀

这很可能是由胃痉挛引起的。多吃些土豆、红薯、板栗、山芋、莲藕等暖胃的食物。如果皮肤过于粗糙，你试试用笋、海参、瘦肉炖汤吃吃看。

皮肤过于白皙

这有可能是气血欠亏所致。可以将红枣、花生米用温水浸泡后，用小火煮熟，再加些蜂蜜熬至黏稠。常吃这样的食物，脸色会红润起来。

面颊呈褐红色

面颊发红是高血压的征象。要注意减少吸烟量或戒烟，经常量血压。
 

耳朵发红

耳朵代表了肾的状况。耳廓呈红色或紫色说明循环不好。要少饮酒，少吃精细食物，少吃糖，多做运动以促进循环功能。

Roadshows

Last year was a fruitful year as I have got chance to participate in many roadshows in hoping to create awareness on how harmful could obesity do to us.

The ‘Men Are From Mars’ Diet

How men approach weight loss and why

It struck me whilst sitting in on a couple of weight loss focus groups recently what huge differences there are between the sexes when it comes to dieting. Now, I’m sure this doesn’t come as a great shock to anyone but what was interesting was the different reasons given in these Groups for going on a diet.

Predominately the woman said they were trying to lose weight either for their own health or because they wanted to look ‘good’. None of those in the female groups said they were doing it for their family.

The guys on the other hand all seemed to be doing it for someone (or something) else. Nearly all of them were dads and this was a big factor in their motivation to lose weight. Even our own Slimmer of the Year, Adam Fisher, says that he didn’t want to be the fat dad at the sports day or when picking the kids up from school – and ended up losing a lot of weight.

The male group had all shifted the reasons away from themselves and onto other people. One or two said their partners nagged them so much about their weight they were doing a diet under duress (is that a route to success?) Or they were doing it with their partners as a show of solidarity. Whilst some had particular medical issues that losing weight could alleviate.

But mostly it was about the men recognising their own mortality – they wanted to play football with their sons and be there to see their daughters grow up and get married.

Even though the balance of power in modern relationships has shifted to the centre (with work and home responsibilities being more evenly shared) these men still saw it as their duty to ensure they would be around (and, one should suppose, to look after and support) their family as long as they could.

The media messages about the dangers of overweight and obesity has really struck a cord with these guys. None, however, said they were doing diet to fit in a particular sized pair of jeans.

When choosing which diet to go on, nearly all of the men were put off by group meetings, preferring one-to-one at worst and not meeting anyone at all but reading it from a book at best. But when the groups got around to discussing being on the Cambridge Diet, the men really showed why they are mainly from Mars!

They loved being on Cambridge because of the ‘strategic’ approach it allowed them to take to their weight loss. Nearly all of them had created a computer spreadsheet tracking their weight and BMI over the period they were using it.

Some had worked out almost to the day when they would reach their goal weight because they knew exactly how many calories per day they were consuming and expanding (one brought a print out with him to the group to show everyone else).

They loved the simplicity of the Diet and the ‘no hassle’ nature of preparing it. Many of them had already gone through the Atkins Diet book and so understood the low carbs / ketosis philosophy.

Above all the men wanted something that was simple, based in fact, backed up by science and gave you quick results without to much ‘faffing’ about.

Maybe it’s no surprise whatsoever to know that the creator of the Cambridge Diet’s was a man looking for the exact same things.

What it takes to be a successful Cambridge Counsellor

Would you like a job with loads of satisfaction and where you meet lots of different people? Then why not speak to your Cambridge Counsellor about becoming one yourself!

Being a Cambridge Counsellor can be both a mentally and financially rewarding job. However it does involve hard work and dedication to help your customers reach their goals and overcome the hurdles along the way.

To become a Counsellor you must have used the Cambridge Diet Programmes successfully yourself – this will enable you to give advice to others using your knowledge and experience of the Diet steps.

There are certain essential ingredients which you need to become a Counsellor yourself. You must have good inter-personal skills with an interest in helping people and have a real enthusiasm for the Cambridge Diet products and programmes. You need to have spare time which you can dedicate to your Counselling and it is essential that you are keen to motivate and encourage people. If you have these attributes then Cambridge Counselling could be for you.

As you will know from your own experience of the Diet, it can be particularly difficult in that first week, so we strongly recommend that Counsellors contact their customer on day two or three, just to see how they are getting on and to offer some words of encouragement. All customers should be seen on a regular basis – preferably weekly, just to ensure that they are feeling OK and also to supply them with their next week’s worth if Diet products.

If you have the stated quality, do contact Lucius at 012-670 9385 for details and let’s help to fight obese together!

宿便--造成肥胖

肥胖產生的原因

「宿便」囤積在腸內時，其毒素會被小腸當作養份而吸收，被運送至肝臟，這些毒素會使肝臟的機能衰弱，對血液和其他組織內分泌系統、新陳代謝系統，造成不良的影響，而引起肥胖症，皮膚偏黃偏黑，長痘痘等表象。

「宿便」是黏附在腸壁，產生毒素的老舊廢物，不易排出，很容易產生有害健康的毒素。若是「便秘」，只要排出舊便即可，但是「宿便」卻沒這麼簡單，每天排便的人也會有宿便，以煙囪做為比喻，每天排出來的糞便是煙，囤積在煙囪內壁的煤渣便是宿便，這就是「宿便」與「便秘」明顯的差異。

＊宿便會產生四大問題 

１．阻礙營養吸收：宿便會壓迫小腸絨毛的活潑彈性，即使吃了有益健康、有營養的食物，還是無法真正吸收到養份。進而阻礙各細胞活化，代謝能量吸收，導致人體抵抗力降低，提早老化。

２．污染血液：在小腸內的宿便，一旦發酵、脹氣所產生的化學毒素，就會直接進入血液到全身造成酸毒症(acidosis)。不但會加重肝、腎、皮膚三大排毒器官的負擔，降低滅菌、解毒、淨血、代謝功能。且會有懶散、想睡、頭痛、腹脹、肩酸、易疲勞、口臭、口乾舌燥等症狀發生。

３．壓迫內臟：在腸道附近的器官，最容易受到壓迫、擠壓、移位，產生各種內臟疾病。尤其是胃部、子宮、肝臟、腎臟、攝護腺、膀胱等，是各種五臟六腑慢性病的前兆。

４．改變體型：宿便脹大，不僅影響循環代謝、腹部及脊椎形狀，更是產生肥胖的重要因素。

眾多肥胖者常為「便祕」或「宿便」所苦惱，飲食過量，遂造成「宿便」的囤積，而由於營養不均衡的障礙，遂導致肥胖。宿便脹大，不僅影響循環代謝、腹部及脊椎形狀，更是產生肥胖的重要因素。若要消除肥胖，首先得排除「宿便」，「宿便」一經排除，那麼「便秘」也一定能根治，腸道順暢，超過的體重消失，腹部平坦，這不只是「減肥」療養，更是排除「宿便」療養。

此外，標準體重者，每週進行一次排除「宿便」療養，讓腸道做到良好的「自我清洗」功夫，以維護腸道的通暢無阻，可排除多餘脂肪，膚質、髮質也因而從中獲得更佳的營養吸收。

該是陳舊的、很長時間以來黏附在腸壁內絨毛之間的渣滓，便開始脫離了腸壁，可排出特別有刺激味的，很陳舊的腸道內容物，當腸道終於把它的陳舊污垢排除後，可感覺到從來沒有的舒服感，這時候腸道代謝正常了，屬於腸道壁內所分泌的胃液、腸液分泌功能，也將趨於正常。新陳代謝良好，均衡的營養素，順利的被腸道絨毛吸收，這時候腸道的消化、吸收、排泄皆暢通無阻，人體健康自然得到改善。消脂減重，代謝掉過剩的脂肪、排除體內廢物，皆是必然的作用。透過腸道良好的自我清洗，可排除腸道中的毒素，和長期黏附在腸道內壁上的渣滓－「宿便」，能夠增強腸壁的緊張力，促進腸道蠕動和血液、淋巴液的循環，有消除脂肪的功能，可代謝出過剩的脂肪。

如果腸道內容物在同一個地方停留較久，總是會產生更多的毒素和氣，這代表排泄物通過大腸時「速度嚴重緩慢」的信號，「腸道的清洗」是迫不及待的工作，在飲用期間，可讓腸道有足夠的間隔時間休息，而這時候肝臟會排除從腸道進入血液的有害物質，脂肪組織和結締組織中新陳代謝產生的廢物也將被溶解掉。這些毒素會通過腸道、腎臟、肺部和皮膚排除掉。

您知道嗎？積壓在人體腸內的宿便重達３～ ５公斤 ，潛藏在腸道內的宿便一旦發酵或起化學變化，它所產生的毒素將侵入人體各部組織及器官，尤其是降低肝臟代謝、滅菌、解毒、淨血功能。

無論如何，在百忙中抽出時間，為我們大、小腸定期大掃除非常重要。為了我們後半生的健康，清除宿便，保健養生是必要的。

●建議食用富含水溶性纖維食品「黑木耳」 防便秘 、宿便

台北醫學大學附設醫院營養室主任蘇秀悅：
水溶性纖維豐富是黑木耳的一大特色，它不但能刺激腸道蠕動，幫助排便及預防便秘，還有降低膽固醇效果。除了水溶性纖維豐富，黑木耳幾乎沒什麼熱量，而且，木耳沒有特別的味道，跟任何蔬菜都可以搭配，也可以跟肉類一道烹煮，對想減肥的人，是絕佳的瘦身食材。煮得軟爛的黑木耳，吸附水分後，還可以增加飽足感，達到控制食欲的目的。

Alternative solution:-

1)  Colon PUR

According to medical researches, 90% of diseases found in a human body are originated from the intestinal system. Because of this, a healthy colon is an important prerequisite for a healthy body. Despite the importance of a healthy colon, constipation is a common problem nowadays. Constipation will lead to accumulation of toxins in the intestinal tract. These toxins will be reabsorbed back into the body, and cause dull skin, acne, poor appetite and other diseases in individuals.
ColonPur is manufactured using the combination of body-nurturing formula and the latest technology. It contains high quality green tea and herbs which are approved by the Ministry of Health for consumption as food. Among these active ingredients are Cocos poria, Ademphora, Common Yam rhizome, and Cassia seed.

Main functions

1.

The Cambridge Diet Training, UK Trip

I have just got to know I have been selected to be one of the 15 to go to Cambridge University on the beginning of September of this year. We are going for a training on THE CAMBRIDGE DIET, in helping people to lose weight, better health and solve some health problems like gastric, headache, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart problem, etc.

This would be a very good life experience as it is not easy to have a chance to be in the Cambridge University even though we have the money and I am looking forward to the visit.

After the training I believe I can do even much better in my consultation to those who are suffering from health problem, my objective is to help as many people as I could in either losing weight, to improve health problem, etc. The satisfaction out of this is what keeps me going and upgrade myself further and further.

Dengue

Dengue cases are getting more and more in our country, some even said it is a trend to get it… ;(

Last Sunday, my housemate, Peter, was not feeling well. Fever, then body ache, headache, etc. I noticed the symptoms of dengue were shown, and I brought him to clinic on the forth day. Doctor gave him a jab, put him on drip, took some blood for blood test, some medication, it cost RM300. Hmmm…

The next day we went back to the clinic to collect the blood test report, and it showed sign of dengue. Doctor advised to send him to hospital to get further treatment.

When reached home I called Vincent as I remembered some of them have treated cases of dengue with our own products. After talked to him on phone, I discuss with Pete and we agreed to treat it with a natural way since we knew that even go to hospital they won’t do much besides daily blood test.

I followed the treatment as suggested and he recovered in 2 days time, but still tired and weak. He just needs more rest and intake of more healthy food.

The treatment is as bellow,

Breakfast, lunch and dinner:-

1/3 sachet of The Cambridge Diet

2 capsules of Phoscol 565

1 tablet of Vitamin C 500mg

In between will make Glucolin to drink as water, to supply enough sugar to his body so he won’t feel weak, 100 plus (without gas) to supply mineral, soya drink with salt (no sugar) and make soup for him too.

Recipe to make the soup,

2-3 spring chickens

3 small bitter gourd

3 honey dates

3 bowls of water boil till 1 1/2 bowls water.

This treatment is only applicable to those who has no fever, if high fever must send to hospital.

7種食物 讓男性精力更充沛

新華網引述東北網報導，什麼樣的食物對男人身體 最好，營養師表示，蕃茄、胡蘿蔔、南瓜籽、蠔、高維 生素C食物、深海魚以及紅酒等7種食物，可讓男性精力 更佳充沛。

1.番茄
哈佛大學在1995年發表了一份針對 47000人長期追 蹤報告，報告中指出，每周吃10份以上番茄的人，前列 腺癌的幾率比一般人少了45%。所以，每天至少吃一個 西紅柿是男人不錯的選擇。
2.胡蘿蔔
胡蘿蔔也是對抗前列腺癌的小尖兵。美國哈佛大學 南西·庫克博士在《癌症》期刊上發表文章指出，她發 現體內β胡蘿蔔素濃度高的人和較低者相比，患前列腺 癌的幾率低45%。
3.南瓜籽
男性40歲過後，大多數人有前列腺肥大的問題。美 國農業部詹姆士‧杜克博士實驗發現，讓前列腺肥大的 患者服用南瓜籽的萃取物，確實減少了患者頻尿的次數 ，也改善了其它症狀。而且南瓜籽也是維生素E的最佳來 源，可以抗老化。
男性的精子活力與飲食息息相關。好的食物能讓你 「精」力充沛，夜夜歡歌；不好的食物也能讓你從猛男 漸變成「假太監」。
4.蠔
研究發現男性精液裏含有大量的鋅，體內的鋅不足 ，會影響精子的數量與質量。而食物中海鮮類的蠔、蝦 、蟹的鋅含量最為豐富，一顆小小的蠔就幾乎等于一天 中鋅的需求量(15毫克)，不需多吃，就能精力充沛。
5.高維生素C食物
男性由於在工作、家庭以及社會中同樣扮演著承擔 者的角色，因此長期的高壓狀態，更需要營養的補充。 高維生素C的食物有獼猴桃、橙子、橘子、青花椰菜、 蘆筍等維生素C含量豐富的食物，可以協助副腎上腺皮 質素(一種抗壓力的荷爾蒙)的分泌，可以對抗壓力。
6.深海魚
壓力大，也讓男性患高脂血症、中風的年齡層降低 。深海魚中的歐米伽3脂肪酸可以阻止血液凝結、減少 血管收縮、降低三酸甘油脂等，對心臟血管特別有益。
含歐米伽3脂肪酸的魚包括鯖花魚、秋刀魚、石斑 魚、鮭魚等，美國心臟病協會建議一星期至少要吃兩次 魚對身體最健康。
7.紅酒
紅酒中葡萄皮的抗氧化物質多酚，留存在酒液中， 可以降低心血管疾病的幾率，當然紅酒雖健康也不要多 喝。

Is time to drink water

I have heard of a very educational information from radio recently and wish to share.

As we know, brain and nerve cells do not re-grow once died. The more it died the slower our reaction is, less bright we are, etc.

When our body dehydrated then it will send a message to brain and that is the time we feel thirsty. Dehydration will cause the death of brain cells, so don’t wait till you feel thirsty only drink water.

Now, tumbler is always with me as I’ve caused lots of damage to my brain cells before this and hope from now on I could save what’s left. :)

Sleep with light on or off?

 

I have received an email from friend in commenting on whether to sleep with light on or off is better. Make a wild guess before you proceed… :)

So is good to sleep in dark yeah… :)

Health care class

Woke up earlier than usual, and went for a health care class and expected to do some practicals in the class.... Everyone of us brought towels, shorts, some "gua sa" tools, etc.

Definition on "gua sa" from the net:


This is an Eastern theraphy practiced by various communities including the Indonesians, Malays and Chinese.

A proper treatment helps alleviate body heat and wind from the body. It also encourages the removal of toxin from our body via the skin surface and urination. The complete treatment would help relieve headaches, muscular pains and general body discomfort without drugs! It is best when applied as a conclusion to a massage session, as it encourages blood flow through our system.

This is done by using a horn made board to scrap on the back till the red spots appear. It is not as painful as you thought of, and after the treatment you would have a good night sleep.

We have learnt a lot of how to do "gua sa" for ourselves, or even to your family members. Besides "gua sa", we did learn some skills on how to solve small health problem just like fever, headache, etc.

A good experience as I believe natural healing is still better than taking medication unless it is virus attacks.

Here are pictures on the end result after the treatment...
