AGING, the common enemies for women. How to against it?

Women are the fine and tender creatures created by God. No matter how generation changes, it is undeniable that women need extra cares. Not just because you’re tougher or work harder than a men means you need lesser care, women deserve more cautious and careful attend than men do. Especially when you’re over 30! In fact, women age faster than men. You need to spend a little more attention on your body out from your work, your children or your man.

Here are some lists of food that you can focus more on and have some slight changes on your daily dietary to stay away from AGING!

• Whole grains: Whole grains are high in fiber which helps to reduce the common digestive problems among women, such as constipation. Get yourself more natural food as breakfast or snack, such as wheat and oat cookies, barley, corn and brown rice to complete your diet plan.

• Food with more folate: Folate is important during pregnancy for ensuring proper neural tube development among fetus and it has been shown to be important to heart health. You can find folate rich in foods like asparagus, oranges, soy bean sprouts and sunflower seeds.

• Cranberries: A research conducted by Prof. Itzhak Ofek, Tel Aviv University’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine suggested that cranberry juice exhibits anti-viral properties against the flu, can prevent cavities, and lessens the reoccurrence of gastric ulcers. Further research published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research suggested that cranberries’ healing effects on the Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) only apply to women.

• Water: Although water is not food, but its effect to either men or women are significant. Water is important for all metabolic processes, digestion, and weight loss and improve the appearance of the skin. Drink at least 8 glasses of water (equal to approx. 2 litres of water) a day.

• Nuts: Nuts are also rich in protein, calcium, zinc, folate, Vitamin. E and A. Different nuts might have slightly different health effects. Walnuts have overall health benefits where almonds work well to stroke and cancers. Brazil nuts with its high selenium help to prevent breast cancer. Hazelnuts are good for pregnant or child bearing women with high folate, Vitamin E and B Vitamins. Choose pistachios if you’re more focusing on satiety as it contains high protein and the highest fiber among nuts.

• Green leafy vegetables: This category of vegetable includes everything such as spinach, Swiss chards, turnip greens, mustard greens, broccoli, lettuce and cabbage. These vegetables provide important nutrients as well as fiber to the diet. Try to get 3 servings of vegetables each day.

• Fruits rich in Vitamin C: it includes citrus fruits (lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit), strawberries, plums, tomatoes, kiwi and guava. Vitamin C serves as an antioxidant which has recently been linked to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease. Try to get 2 to 3 servings of fruits each day.

• Iron-rich foods: Due to women’s menstrual circle, women need a lot more iron. You can find iron from garbanzo beans, lean beef, tofu and dried apricots.

Caution for OL: What are the risks of sitting too much?

Sitting inside an air-conditioned office is so comfortable that we enjoy the refreshing cool temperature even when the weather is hot out there. However, researchers have linked sitting for long periods of time with several number of health concerns, including obesity (notice that office lady? You’re gaining weight gradually and unconsciously) and metabolic syndrome (including 4-high: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, high body fat). It could also bring back problem if the chair or your sitting position is not correct.

Here are some workouts for you during working hours.

(a)    Look for opportunity to stand

You’ll burn more calories standing than sitting. Stand for 45 minutes after lunch helps to burn out unwanted calories.

(b)   Practice fitness breaks

Rather than having snacks in the café during short breaks, you can do some simple stretching exercises. For example, while standing, grab one of your ankles and bring it up to your hips. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds.

(c)    Change your office chair to a fitness ball

If your office is spacious enough, try to trade your office chair to a fitness ball. You will improve your balance and tone your core muscles while sitting at your desk. You can even use it for some other workplace exercise during the day.

(d)   Get social

Try to avoid using inter-com or instant messaging while you want to pass a message to your colleagues. Walk to them.

(e)   Store some fitness equipment in your office

Keep the resistance cords that offer weight-like resistance when you pull on them. The Chinese traditional scrapping would be the best recommended exercise by scrapping the body muscles to relief muscle tension and to smooth the blood vessels.

Fight Against Breast Cancer With Plastic Free Living

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women and it is the second leading cause of cancer death among women. Research shows that at certain exposure level, some of the harmful chemicals in the plastics products may leach into the food or water contained, for example BPA, not only causes developmental disruption among children, also acting as one of the factors that lead to cancer.

BPA is a weak synthetic estrogen found in many rigid plastic products, food and formula can linings, dental sealants, and on the shiny side of paper cashier receipts (to stabilize the ink). Its estrogen-like activity makes it a hormone disruptor, like many other chemicals in plastics. Hormone disruptors can affect how estrogen and other hormones act in the body, by blocking them or mimicking them, which throws off the body's hormonal balance which can also make hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer develop and grow. Furthermore, some believe that the BPA also affect the fetus’ brain development in the womb. Study also found that women with high level BPA contain in their urine are more likely to have daughter with hyperactivity, anxiety and depression.

Try to use as little plastic products as possible, especially if you are pregnant. Love your body, love our mother earth. These are the steps that you could take to reduce the exposure to harmful chemicals in the plastics:

1.    Don’t cook or heat any food with plastic containers. You will never notice if the chemicals leach into your food.

2.    Use ceramic, glass or stainless steel containers to store your food and beverages. Especially choose a better ceramic water bottle if you like to spare some water in your car.

3.    Reduce canned food/drink you take and canned formula for your baby.

4.    Avoid plastic containers with recycled code of #3 and #7, they usually contain BPA.

It cannot be denied that plastic-products have bought us many conveniences in our life especially it is lower in cost as compared with glass and ceramic products. However, the harmful effects that have bought to human health are tremendous. Be a wise consumer, spend your hard-earning money wisely on a better and healthier product.

The harmful facts of plastic bottle

It can't be denied that the plastic-related products are much more convenient and durable compare to glass and ceramic products. It has been widely used in most of the industry, especially in drinking water, due to the low production cost on the plastic. However, researchers have found increasingly severe harmful effects of plastic bottle toward human health. Infants, new born, even fetuses are the most vulnerable to these side effects.

6 Do’s and Don’ts For Healthy Living

With the fast growing of technology today, people are paying more attention on their health. Google for “Healthy Life” and you’re getting tons of information showing you how to live a healthier life. Here’s some simple ways that you could work them out daily to maintain your body health.

1.       Do: Quality sleep à Don’t: Stay up “Just for one more show”

“Just one more show and I will sleep”. Isn’t it familiar to you? Especially during weekends, we stay up just because it is a long-awaited and precious weekend after a week of hard work yet we do not have to wake up early the next day. However, a well-rested body leads to clearer mind and it’s the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. A fully-rejuvenated body helps to improve our memory, creativity and prolong our lifespan base on the results of the Alameda County Study in California back in 1960s. So, keep whatever things that you “eager” to do it on Saturday night, leave it for the next day as you’re going to have a lot more energy to deal with anything after getting a 6-8 hours of good sleep.

2.       Do: Have breakfast à Don’t: Skip breakfast

There’re a lot reasons people tend to give themselves for skipping breakfast. The most-heard reason is being “too busy”. Researcher from the Harvard School of Public Health said that skipping breakfast could lead to adverse metabolic effects and high blood pressure which are the fundamental to heart disease. Breakfast is the first meal of the day and it helps to jump-start our day. A piece of toast or a bowl of cereal meal would be enough to fuel up our day. Breakfast, in fact, helps to aid our weigh loss. So, skipping breakfast is no longer helpful to your slimming plan, the truth is, you’re going to gain unexpected weight instead.

3.       Do: Stay hydrated àDon’t: Stay hydrated with carbonated drink

Human body is comprised of 60 percent water. Women need to consume more water to keep their skin moisture. At least 6-8 glasses of water are needed for our normal body functions throughout the day. Water plays the very important roles in our body as it helps the detoxification of kidneys and liver, dissolves minerals and other nutrition for better body absorption, regulates body temperatures, and etc.  Don’t try to replace it with carbonated drinks as it may leads to calcium loss from our body.

4.       Do: Move your body à Don’t: “I will start exercise tomorrow”

“I am just too tired today and I will start my exercise tomorrow”. This is the most common excuse given by those working adults. Thanks to the advance technology we have today that brought us a lot more conveniences, people tend to have less movement as we could almost get everything  with one click. Don’t make your exercise just sitting at the desk all day or laying on the couch all evening. Get on a regular schedule and be more active. It could be jogging, swimming or dancing! Start small and make your way up to longer and intense workout.

5.       Do: Snack à Don’t: Overeat

Snack is no longer just for kid, adults need it too. Light snack between meals help to revitalize our body and mind. Fat-free-sugar-free snacks will be the best choice. A small and frequent meal is better than having heavy meals 3 times a day. Your digestive system will say thank you if it is able to do so.

6.       Do: Unplug à Don’t: Interact through computer

We are living in the world of radioactive. Smartphones, laptops and TVs release radioactive while they are working. We are just too easy to get stuck in front of screens for hours before we can pull our attention off from them. It’s time to unplug yourself from the screen after you have finished reading the articles and have some times with the nature. It will help your posture, eyesight and clear your mind. 

Prevent Frizzy Hair During Your Perfect Dating

It’s going to be a FRIDAY NIGHT! Have you get ready with your stuffs to welcome your long-awaited date with you love ones? You might want to show your love the best part of you. However, due to the exposure to the external pollutions or chemicals or even intense heat, our hair become fuzzy and fragile if we do not pay extra attention on the hair care.

But what really makes our hair fuzzy and dull? Some people say that it is because of the positive ions on the surface of our hair that lead to our hair strands repel each other (imagine putting two magnets with the same magnetic pole together and they repel each other) – making our hair looks frizzy, fragile and dull. In this case, the negative ions help to neutralize the positive ions and reduce the fizziness. The negative ions could also reduce the risk of hair damage as it breaks the water molecules down faster than the positive ions do and tighten cuticles of hair to prevent frizzy hair.

With VOLCA Life-Energy Comb consistently releases negative ions and Far Infrared Red (FIR), it helps to improve the condition of our hair by using it to massage our hair scalp. Spend only 10 minutes a day to massage your hair scalp with the VOLCA Life-Energy Comb and observe the changes!
