Criteria for Choosing A Quality Fish Oil!

I am very particular when it comes to something which I am going to put into my mouth.

Yes, that's how fussy I am. Before I decide which supplements that I am going to buy, I'll google and do all the research that I can, download all the research papers before I make my own conclusion. 

Do you know that most of the fish oil available in the market contain more fish fat than the actual Omega 3 that we want? 

A study was done among all the different brands of fish oil available in the market. Results have shown that MAJORITY of the fish oil contain 30% to 60% of Omega 3 and the rest are basically fish fat which may consist of fillers, fish guts, fish eyes, unhealthy fish fats and contaminants (mercury and lead).

Shaklee Omegaguard was found to have over 90% of Omega 3 content where the 10% actually consist of 5 spectrum of healthy oils after undergone triple distillation process!! That's so impressive. And that is also why Shaklee Omegaguard are getting more and more popular nowadays as more people are turning into this brand for a higher Omega 3 content. 

 What are the other benefits of Shaklee Omegaguard?

(1) Triple Molecular distillation for purity and potency

This proprietary purification process concentrates the beneficial Omega3 fatty acids while removing harmful components like mercury, lead, arsenic cadmium, dioxins and other contaminants.

It is important to choose Omega fish oil that goes through a vigorous refining process, such as molecular distillation process to remove potential contaminants and ensure the purity and safety of the fish oil. 

(2) Assurance of quality - Pharmaceutical grade fish oil

品质保证 – 医药级鱼油

Growing up Healthy with Soy Protein!

During the teenage years, teens undergo rapid physical, emotional, social and physiological development. As puberty hits, their bodies change. This is also the period when they are energetic and

physically active.

Soy Protein is an important nutrient to keep teens energized and active whilst supporting their growth and development.

(A) Boost Muscle Growth and Development

The metabolism rate peaks at teen age, thus consuming protein helps them to develop and maintain muscle mass [1]. Along with an active lifestyle and adequate soy protein consumption helps build muscle and support muscle repair and recovery while providing longer satiety for lasting energy [2].

(B) Support Stronger and Healthier

Bone Growth Soy isoflavones, found in soy protein help support better bone structure while improving bone metabolism process [3]. Soy naturally contains calcium necessary for strong and healthy bones.

(C) Promote Healthy Menstrual Cycle in Females

Phytoestrogens or plant estrogens, found in soy are naturally present in most of our food, it helps support healthy menstrual health by regulating the estrogen level, encouraging healthier hormonal state and lesser premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms [4].

(D) Accelerate Cell Repair and Renewal

Protein is one of the body’s fundamental nutrients for cell renewal and regeneration as it helps in repairing damaged tissue. It also supports antibodies to fight infections and synthesis collagen to accelerate wound recovery [5].

Note: All images are for illustration purposes only. Intake for children under 4 years old should be limited to sharing part of an adult’s drink and at no time should any protein drink be used as a sole source of nutrition.

What You Need to Know About Protein

Nutrition experts support the addition of protein to your daily diet as an essential macro-nutrient to maintain health. However, there are some things we need to know about protein so that we make informed decisions for better health. 

(1) Why Is It Important To Include Soy Protein In Your Diet

Soy contains high amounts of protein with low content of fat. It provides 9 essential amino acids that our body can’t produce. Soy is also the only plant-based protein that is easily digestible and possesses the quality equal to animal-based protein. Most importantly, the FDA has approved that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol along with 25g of soy protein per day may reduce the risk of heart disease. 

(2) Will Soy Fat Make Me Fat?

Clinical research shows that consumption of soy protein promotes longer satiety, resulting in less calorie intake during meals and reduced occurrence of snacking. As a result, it helps to support healthy weight management.  

(3) Will Soy Protein Make Men More Feminine? 

A scientific analysis has been done on more than 30 health researched related to soy and males’ hormones. It showed that neither soy food nor isoflavones (natural substance found in soy) has any effect on testosterone levels in males. In simple words, it is safe for men to consume soy protein regularly and still maintain their manliness. 

(4) Can Menopausal Women Consume Soy Protein?

According to a cross cultural studies that has been conducted among menopausal women, subjects in Japan who consumed high intake of soy food daily experienced a smoother transitional period of menopause. In Asian countries, the average consumption of soy food per person is estimated to provide 25 – 45 mg of isoflavones. Soy protein does not only support a smoother menopausal transitional period but also support the maintenance of healthy bones which women need during this challenging period. 

(5) Can I Take Soy Protein With Other Supplements?

Soy protein is a versatile nutrient. It complements other nutrients easily and seamlessly into your diet. You can include alfafa, B vitamins, plant sterois and even collagen with your soy protein daily to enhance overall well-being.

Are You Taking Enough Protein?

Let's have a quick check! Do you have these symptoms? 

• Dry & brittle hair and nail?
• Weak immunity?
• Older skin?
• Weight gain?
• Fatigue?
• Weak bones?

Does it sounds like you? Hehe. 

Then perhaps, it's time to give your body a boost with PROTEIN!!

Being the most essential nutrients for a healthy body, protein is undeniably important as it plays various role towards your body.

How much protein do you really need in a day? Actually, the recommended protein intake is different for everyone. It varies according to your age, height, weight, gender, your activities and also whether or not you are pregnant. 

Let's play around with this "Protein Intake Calculator". Try it. It's fun!!

Formula = Age X Recommended daily protein/kg intake (see 'protein guide', below)

For example, a 38 year old woman weighing 70 kg would use the formula as below:

0.75 X 70 = 52.5 gm of protein

So, based on the formula given, my target daily protein intake is about 35 gm. How about you? 

If you do not have the idea how much 35 gm of protein is, then perhaps this chart below can give you a rough idea of how much food I need to take in order to fulfill my daily recommended protein intake. 

Based on the figure above, I need double portions for each of the food.  Haha!!

Amino acids are the building blocks that make up protein. There are 20 different amino acids in all, and different proteins provide different combinations of amino acids in varying ratios [1].

Since each high-protein food contains a different amino-acid profile, it's important to eat a range of protein sources. In other words, don't just eat chicken breast five times a day. Great protein sources include lean meats, cottage cheese, eggs and fish. If you are vegan, eat plenty of legumes, nuts, and seeds. 

If you find it tough to get enough protein from dietary sources, use protein supplements to hit your numbers. That's why I am now taking ESP Protein everyday. 

One serving of ESP is equivalent to 14 gm of protein. For the remaining 21 gm of protein,  I can just get it from my normal diet in order to meet a total of 35 gm of my daily protein intake.

Are you taking enough Protein everyday? 

Make sure you do the calculations ya. If you are looking for protein supplement, you can always look for me. 

You are lucky because we have promotion for ESP this month. Grab it now before it's too late.

How to choose the Best Protein Powder?

Easy to prepare and convenient to consume anytime, anywhere, dietary protein powder is the easiest way to ensure you have sufficient protein daily. However, with so many brands and types of proteins on the market shelves, which one is the best for you? 

TIP 1: GO FOR SOY!

Suitable for everyone including those who are lactose-intolerant. 

• Delivers various benefits such as cholesterol lowering effect [1]. 

• Continuous soy protein consumption helps women manage menopausal syndrome such as hot flush.2 

• 100% plant-based and suitable for vegans.

TIP 2: NO ADDED REFINED SUGAR

Most manufacturers add refined sugar into their protein powders to improve taste. Make the right decision and say no to added refined sugar! 

• Taking protein as it is helps to ensure that you do not consume excess calories. 

• Helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

TIP 3: HAS LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX

Glycemic index (GI) is an index that shows the effect of food on your blood sugar level. A high GI protein causes a spike in your blood sugar, leaving you tired, irritable and hungry. A low GI soy protein helps to: 

• Maintain healthy blood sugar levels. 

• Increase satiety, making you feel full longer. 

• Control and manage food intake and body weight.

TIP 4: COMPLETE WITH 9 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. A daily consumption of the 9 essential amino acids is vital for: 

• Optimal bodily functions. 

• Biological processes such as giving cells their structure, transporting and storing nutrients and forming organs, glands and muscles. 

• Tissue repair in skin, bones and hair

TIP 5: NON-GMO

Genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant, animal, or microorganism whose genetic makeup has been modified using genetic modification or engineering techniques. Eating too much GMO food may cause health issues in the long run. Non-GMO sources ensure: 

• Nutrients are intact in the food source. 

• Healthier and safer food alternative.

TIP 6: LOW IN FAT

Ultimately, you want to reap the benefits (minus the fat) of protein from the powder you pick from the shelf. Choose less than 3g of fat for every 100g of the protein powder. 

• Maintain muscle mass. 

• Maintain cholesterol level.

I'm happy that Shaklee ESP fulfills all the 6 requirements. Not only that, one serving provides 14g of protein, 8g of carbohydrates, and 500mg of calcium. 

You are lucky because this month we have promotion for ESP. Remember to get best deal from Mommy F ya.

Who Needs Protein? Are You One of Them?

Protein is undeniably important as it plays various roles in your body. From the formation of cells to development of your muscles, skin, hair and even nails, your body needs a constant supply of protein to maintain optimum bodily functions. However, your protein needs vary depending on your body and daily physical activity. 

(1) Body Builders

Your muscles break down when you perform resistance training. 

Consume more protein to: 

• Rebuild and repair muscles. 

• Build lean muscle for a stronger, faster and fitter you.

(2) Mommy-To-Be

What is good for the mother is also good for the baby. 

Consume more protein to: 

• Build baby’s healthy cell growth. 

• Help in baby’s growth and development especially during the second and third trimesters where your baby undergo a rapid growing process. 

• Help mothers to gain more muscle and less fat. 

(3) Breastfeeding Mommy

A breastfeeding mom requires almost twice as much protein than a non-nursing mom. 

Consume more protein to: 

• Maintain mother’s health to produce quality breastmilk. 

• Optimise your infant’s growth and development since protein is an important component of breastmilk.

4) Middle-Aged People

As you enter middle-age, your body undergoes a decline in performance including progressive muscle loss among other issues. 

Consume more protein to: 

• Slow down ageing by combining with exercise to maintain muscle mass and fitness. 

• Lower risk of heart related issues such as high cholesterol.

TIP: Add 25g of soy protein into your diet daily as it has been found to lower your risk of high cholesterol level [1,2].

(5) Weight Watchers

A person with high metabolism rate burns more calories compared to a person with low metabolism rate. 

Consume more protein to: 

• Increase satiety so you feel full longer . 

• Help control the amount of calories that you’re going to consume in your next meal. 

• Maintain muscle mass as the more muscle you have, the higher metabolism rate you will have.

(6) Dessert Lovers

A diet high in sugar leads to a high blood glucose level which affects the heart functions and may cause inflammation in your body. 

Consume more protein to: 

• Stabilise blood glucose level. 

• Help improve inflammation, cholesterol level and insulin sensitivity [3,4].

If you are one of these people, the simplest and easiest way for you to increase your protein intake is through dietary protein powders. Just mix it with your favourite drink or you can blend it with your favourite fruits as a healthier alternative breakfast.

ESP Protein is a very good source of protein. One serving provides:

• 14g of protein
• 8g of carbohydrates
• 500mg of calcium
