Is your wife crazy about apples during pregnancy?

Does your wife want to eat apple during pregnancy? If she does, it maybe a sign that the body is lacking of certain nutrients. The urge to eat certain food during pregnancy is a sign of certain nutrient deficiency.

For example, because my wife has been taking at least 3 scoops of protein powder per day, she doesn't have the urge to eat soya food or egg to get protein.

Now, let's study the apple. It contains at least 4 gram of dietary fiber. Also, rich in phyto-nutrients. High in potassium and it has about 16g of sugar. Check this link. Isn't that interesting? Thus, does your wife have any low blood sugar or low blood pressure problem? Or she doesn't have the habit of eating fruits before she was pregnant? Or does she have any constipation problem before she was pregnant? If your answer is yes, then, this maybe why the body is always asking for apple.

Try taking Double X and see how. Who knows, she may not want to eat apple anymore. However, there is one thing for sure, eating apple is good for the baby. Check this link too.

However, do remember to scrap away the wax coating on the apple before eating it. They are toxic. The apple itself already has a layer of natural wax. However, producers have put another layer to ensure its freshness. That is why organic apples always look dull but non-organic ones always look shiny.

Eating precautions during pregnancy

When a woman is pregnant, the following pre-cautions must be taken seriously:

• Drink only WTS water. Do not drink office container water. They are distilled. It will drain the mineral from the body and it will definitely affect you. Do not drink bottled water. You afraid there maybe chemical leakage from the plastic bottle.
• Install an air-purifier such as Atmosphere. It is important for the mother to stay healthy and breath in fresh air. Put it in your bedroom.
  
• Eat only cooked food. It must be fully cooked. Not raw or medium-well. No sushi. Eat only hard-boiled egg. No soft-boiled egg.
• No cold drinks.
• No caffeinated drinks.
• Do not eat cooling property food such cabbage, bittergourd and etc.
• If you are taking herbs or Chinese herbs, you need to consult your Chinese doctor.
• During pregnancy time, oil is very important to the baby development. Fast food or outside food use a lot of trans-fat and it is bad for the baby.
  
• Eat lots of small meals instead of 3 large meals. Remember, calorie restriction, optimal nutrition. Too much calorie means increase in blood sugar that may lead to Gestational Diabetes. After all, woman will not able to burn calories by doing exercises.
• Prepare lots of fruits around you. Eat raw fruits rather than drink fresh juices from hawker stall. During pregnancy time, your immune system will be weaken. The last thing you want to have is a bacterial infection. When you are not pregnant, drink fresh juices from hawker stall is fine even it is not so clean. However, during pregnancy time, this is different.
• No seafood with shells. Crabs, prawns and etc... are no no.
• Food that has a long shelf-life is a no no too. I believe you should know what I mean now. Your hot-dog, pink meat stuffs, luncheon meat, preserved vegetables and fruits are highly toxic.

Lastly, a balanced diet is ultra important for a pregnant mother. Whatever bad habit you have before must be corrected. If you don't take breakfast in the past, now you must have breakfast. If you like to skip meals in the past, now you must have regular meal. If you like to drink coffee or carbonated water in the past, now your only drink is clean filter water, not RO or distilled water.

Cheers

5 million Malaysias may get diabetes

Wow!!! Isn't that an amazing number? One in four Malaysian may become a diabetes. adult Once a person has diabetes, most likely he or she has to be on medication for life. Although the illness can be reverse, many people out there either won't know or choose to ignore it.

What does that mean to us? It means a healthy passive income business for the doctors. You may say that I'm sarcastic, but let me tell you the truth. How many doctors that you have asked you to actually implement a health plan that can reverse the diabetic problems? If there is one, I really congratulate you.

Many of us today are eating too much of sugar free and cholesterol free food. Since they are free, we just keep eating it. And that is why, the current society is full of such health challenges. ?And by the way, sugar free doesn't mean it is free of sugar. Cholesterol fee doesn't mean it is free of cholesterol.

Let me tell you, when you eat a doughnut, do you know how much sugar it comes with it? When you your seafood such as chilli crab or prawns, do you how much cholesterol that comes with it? This is what I call free. You pay for the doughnut and all the sugar is free. You pay for the chilli crab and it comes free with all the bad cholesterol that you don't need.

It is times that we take charge of our diet and lead a better and healthier life.

HP and Cough

Hi SJ, hope you are doing great!

this person is in the third week of health point, he is experiencing cough most of the time and is trying to cut down on smoking at the same time. he smokes around 7 cigarettes a day now, compare to 20 a day before health point. how can we help his coughing disappear?

His mom who is helping him to prepare food, most of the time prepares chicken as the main protein meal (so not to trouble the mum). If protein food, he eat the normal hard boiled eggs, tuna, salmon, on other days. his mum told him 'an old wives tales' that if you eat chicken everyday, you will be having cough.

hope to hear from you soon.

thank you

-------------------------------------------------------

i think is normal for a smoker who try to cut down his smoking to have cough,this is a reaction form the body,he needs to take cough syrup to help him if very bad,cure his cough then only continue his HP,go and see doctors if his cough is very very bad,otherwise,just get him on cough sweets to help control his cough,take lots of vitamin C besides his normal HP supplements..also check with kenny if he has some other suggestions on cough..all the best

for protein food, is good to take fish,prawn, alternate with chicken and taufo,and water eggs for main meals..

Hi kenny,

Greetings! Can help to advise on the 1st bottom email below?

Greatly appreciated.

Hi Nisah,

This is kind of catch 22 situation. A smoker going through HP may experience cough because the body detox. And because of the cough, he or she may see doctor to stop the cough that will further aggravate the cough once the medicine effect is over.

This is like going through a rehabilitation program. The person must endure this period of struggle before the cough will stop. It is going to be difficult.

Here are the some suggestions:

• Ask your friend to stop the habit if possible.
• His main source of protein should be protein powder, vegetables and bean curd. Chicken meat will aggravate cough. This is not a "old wife tale". Same goes to seafood. Fish with scale and fin is fine but seafood such as prawns and squids are no no.
• Drinks lots of warm water and almond drink. You can ask your friend to buy a tin of almond powder to make his own almond drink. Drink at least 3 times a day. It must be warm. No cold drink.
• Increase multi-carotene to 3 capsules 3 times a day. If palm turn orange, stop taking it. Take milk thistle 4 tablets before sleep. No need to over-dose on Bio-C. Have 1 COQ10 in the morning. Go to GNC and buy a bottle of Olive Leaf and Cordyceps. For both, take 2 capsules 3 times a day. Once the cough has stop, continue to take Cordyceps for another week.
• At night, sleep in a well-ventilated room. Air-con room is no no.
  
• Drink onion soup. Buy 2 or 3 big brown australian onions. Those that are used by the India food stalls, not those small reddish local onions. Wash it clean, chop the head and tail, do not peel. The outer skin is important. Boil soup. Can add some brown sugar to get some taste. Brown sugar only. Boil for about 10 minutes and drink warm.

Hope this will help. It is going to be tough but it is worthwhile.
