At the end of a hectic day, she grabbed her handbag and went to the supermarket to buy the next day’s breakfast for her family. Facing an empty refrigerator, she would always have to rack her brains about what healthy meals she could cook for her family. Her father-in-law has high blood pressure and he needs to cut back on his sodium intake; her daughter is only four years old but she weighs close to twenty kilograms, and hence, she has to have a low sugar diet to tackle her weight problems. Her husband was found to have a moderately high level of cholesterol during a recent medical checkup.
She took a loaf of wholemeal bread, a carton of pure orange juice, a crate of fresh ‘low cholesterol Omega-3’ eggs, a carton of ‘low fat’ milk, a jar of ‘no added sugar’ jam, a tub of ‘low sodium’ butter. “Tomorrow’s breakfast shall be these – low fat, low salt, low cholesterol and no sugar added. It should be quite healthy, right?” Back at her home, she turned on the television, and feeling parched, she took out the pure orange juice that she had just bought and started quenching her thirst with it. “Gosh, why is it so sweet?” On closer inspection of the labels on the packaging, she realised that sugar was added in!
In 2005, AC Nielsen did a survey on consumers and their knowledge of goods packaging. The results showed that less than half of the global consumer population has a good understanding of the nutritional chart reflected on the labels. And among all the countries surveyed, Asian consumers have the least knowledge of the nutritional chart – sixty per cent of the participants do not understand the nutritional chart at all. Are you in the habit of reading the labels before making your purchases? Do you let this affect what you buy?
The real meaning of “Low Fat”, “No Added Sugar”?
Do you know the real meaning of “No Added Sugar”, “Low Fat”, “Low Sodium”, “Low Cholesterol”? Let us take a look at what they mean according to the Malaysian Nutritional Value Labeling Standards:
What kinds of food require the nutritional chart to be labeled?
Since 2005, Malaysia implemented the Guide to Nutrition Labeling & Claims by Food Safety & Quality Division-Ministry of Health Malaysia, requesting for over fifty types of common consumable products to be labeled accordingly by law. This includes locally produced and imported wheat products, bread, sugary food, dairy products and by-products (examples include condensed milk and the fermenting procedures, etc) ; canned foods (meat, fish, vegetables) ; canned fruits and packaged fruit juices ; salad cream and mayonnaise ; and all kinds of common beverages (including plant-based drinks, soft drinks, soybean milk, soy drinks, etc).
What kinds of nutrients have to be included in the labels?
Currently, it is required under the Malaysian law that the content on the labels include ‘Energy’, ‘Carbohydrate’, ‘Fat’, and ‘Protein’ – four kinds of nutritional values. Beverages will require their ‘Total Sugar’ content to be listed. Listing of other nutritional values can be optional as long as they comply with the legal requirements.
Example 1 – Label on a box of biscuits:1. Serving Size refers to the average weight of each biscuit, and here it is stated as 22.3g.2. Serving per package indicates that the biscuits can be served eight times.3. Per Serving – refers to the nutritional value each biscuit provides; Per 100g – refers to the nutritional value of 100g of biscuits.4. Energy – each biscuit provides 116 kilojoules of energy.5. Total Fat – each biscuit contributes to 6g of fat.6. Total Carbohydrate – each biscuit contributes to 13.1g of Carbohydrates.7. Protein – each biscuit contains 2g of protein.8. Cholesterol – each biscuit yields 0g cholesterol.9. Sodium – each biscuit contains 99.5g of sodium.10. Calcium – each biscuit yields 6% of calcium.
Example 2 – Label on a fruit juice carton:1. Serving Size refers to the average weight of a glass of juice.2. Serving per package refers to the carton of juice that can be served four times.3. Per Serving – refers to the nutritional value of each glass of juice; Per 100g – refers to the nutritional value of 100ml of juice.4. Energy – each glass of juice provides 115 kilojoules of energy.5. Protein – each glass of juice contains 0g of protein.6. Fat – each glass of juice contains 0g of fat.7. Cholesterol – each glass of juice contains 0g of cholesterol.8. Total Carbohydrate – each glass of juice contains 28.8g of carbohydrate, of which 26.3g is from sugar, hence, it is important to note that ‘no added sugar’ does not mean no sugar added.9. Dietary Fibre – each glass of juice contains 0g of dietary fibre.10. Vitamin C – each glass of juice contains 45mg of vitamin C.
From now on, whenever you do your grocery shopping at the supermarket, take some time to read the nutritional chart labeled on the food items. This concerns the health of your family, and you can make improvements in every aspect of their health, and start off having healthy dietary habits!

Cancer & Oxygen Deficiency
Have you ever heard or been in a situation where someone you know or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer? This must be shocking and many questions would come to mind such as the medical cost, the cause of the disease, chances of living and etc.
Today, cancer is the most dreaded disease. According to WHO (World Health Organizations), cancer contributes the most number of death in the world. In 2005, 7.6 million (13%) out of 25 million deaths are related to cancer. The saddest thing is that about 40% cases of cancer can be prevented by changing our lifestyles such as exercising, maintaining a balance diet and stop smoking.
Lung Cancer—No 1 Killer
In Malaysia, lung cancer is the No. 1 killer compared to other type of cancer. The bad news is that 95% of lung cancer patients died after 5 years of diagnosis.
Oxygen Deficiency & Cancer
Healthy body needs healthy cell that can be obtained from balance nutrition, sufficient amount of water and oxygen. Oxygen deficiency will cause abnormal cell metabolisme, further on to weaken immune system and most probably lead to cancer/mutation. Cancer cells only grow in a condition where there is lack of oxygen or no oxygen at all.
With current environment that are prone to less oxygen in atmosphere, imbalanced diet, less exercise, polluted environment, etc exposing us to more risk of oxygen insufficiency disease.
Thus, it is very important that everyone should get enough oxygen to help stop cell mutation/cancerous. We can achieve this by exercising, relaxing, stop smoking, etc. Food supplement which are rich in germanium and polysaccharide can help improve and increase oxygen level in our bloodstream. PHHP Royal Spora Lingzhi is an added supplement that can help us to get sufficient oxygen and can improve our health.
What is Lingzhi?
Lingzhi is known in Japan as “Reishi” , “Yeongji” in Korea and “Herbs from Heaven” in China. Its botanical name is Ganoderma Lucidium. Some even called it “King of Herbs”. No matter what it is, the Lingzhi’s function is as great as it is called.
What Is The Advantage Of Lingzhi’s Spore?
Only 1 kg Lingzhi spores can be produced by every 1000kg of Lingzhi. According to medical research, Lingzhi’s spore powder contains protein (18.2%), polysaccharide (8.39%) and acid amino (6%), which is higher than Lingzhi’s fruit body. No wonder Lingzhi’s spores are so valuable and hard to find.
Naturally, seeds and spores have hard layered walls, make it difficult to digest. Thus, its nutrient cannot be absorbed by human body easily. PHHP Royal Spora Lingzhi uses sophisticated ultrasound technology to break the hard layered walls while maintaining its’ spores crack at an average of 95% or more. This process is done in a low temperature to make sure all essential properties are sustained.
The following are four main properties of Linghzi’s spore and their functions:-
1. Organic Germanium
It helps increase the absorption of oxygen in our bloodstream and provides cells with enough oxygen. Therefore, this can help increase the metabolic rate and slows down cells ageing. Besides that, it also help increases our immune system, cleanse the blood and strengthen the artery.
2. Polysaccharide
The main function of polysaccharide is to reduce cancer risk, to improve immune system and to stimulate healthy defense cells. Besides that, it also acts as an antioxidant, strengthen the liver function and many more.
3. Triterpene Compound
Triterpene gives positive effects such as to reduce risk of tumor growth, reduces allergy & inflammation, reduce cholesterol level, improves intestine’s health and stimulates blood flows. According to clinical research, triterpene compound also contains the characteristic of anticoagulations where it can avoid abnormal thrombus growth and help control blood pressure level.
4. Nucleoside Compound
Adenosine is the main substance in nucleoside compound. It stimulates blood flows, prevent platelet clog and cleanse the thrombus. It also promotes normal cells growth and many more.
In addition to the above, Lingzhi also contains 17 amino acid, alkaloid, soy bean protein, sterol, cumaric essence, glycoside, vitamin, enzyme and 13 other essentials minerals.

Consume Food That Has High Fiber Content
1.Consume Food That Has High Fiber Content
Food products with high fiber content are very satisfying and filling. This is due to the fact that fiber does take up space in the stomach, thus, suppressing appetite and causing us to eat less. Furthermore, a high fiber diet will strengthen our digestive system. Sufferers of constipation and piles ought to increase their consumption of high fiber foods to alleviate their conditions. However, it is recommended that a high fiber diet is complemented with a high consumption of fluids.
Sources of fiber: Psyllium Husk, cereal products such as Job’s-tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), oat, brown rice and sea grass. Vegetables and fruits such as oranges, papayas, prunes, etc. PHHP Phyto Fiber contains the health benefits of all the above-mentioned foods.
2. Increase Your Water Intake
Drinking more water will help purge our kidneys of toxins. When a person drinks little water, his kidney will function at an inefficient rate, thus putting a strain on the liver, which is responsible for metabolism to take place. This would result in a lesser amount of fats being burnt, causing the body to store up this excess fats instead. As such, you should drink more water in order to reap health benefits, and your skin complexion will also improve.
3. Regular Body Workouts
Regular workouts will increase our metabolism rate of fat-burning. This will not only boost our blood circulation, it will also lift up our spirits. Exercise for at least 30 minutes, 3 to 5 days a week for the maximum benefit to your health.
4. Consume Healthy Fats
It is commonly agreed that in order to achieve weight loss, the most important thing to do is to cut down on our fat intake. However, not all the fats are harmful to our health. Fats are divided into good and bad fats. An acceptable range for total energy intake is 20-35% from fat. Fat is a rich source of energy and is important for containing vitamin A, D, E, K and certain antioxidants. Such fats will satisfy your hunger pangs, but take care not to overeat as this will cause weight gain. Needless to say, we should opt for good fats such as Omega-3 (fish oil), Omega-6 (may found in Evening Primrose Oil) or vegetable oil.
5. Consume Food Products That Are Green In Colour

了解您的健康情形
您的健康处在怎样的状况呢？您关心自己的健康情形吗？健康是金钱所买不到的。了解您的健康，爱护您的身体，其中一种最有效的方式，就是进行健康检查。固定的健康检查能够确定个人的健康水平，及其是否处于健康的状况。此外，固定的健康检查还能帮助个人及早发现各种疾病的初期阶段，如心脏病、肝炎、糖尿病、癌症、及其他各种可能致死的疾病等。有许多患者在疾病初期并没有察觉任何症状，往往到发现时已经处于严重的情况，治疗也已经太晚了。一般的健康检查包括查阅病人的就医历史及化验检测，如尿液化验、血液化验等。由于人体内的器官无法利用物理检查侦测其健康状况，血液化验成为鉴定某些疾病的重要方式。血液化验也可以检验出血液系统中不正常的现象，对一些仅能通过血液化验出的“沉默型疾病”(silent disease；无症状疾病)，如癌症、肝炎、艾滋病毒等，起着预防的效果，并在病情恶化之前及早治疗。因此，根据个人的年龄及健康状况，每年进行一到三次例行的健康检查，以免受疾病的困扰，是保障您的健康之道。
详细的血液全图(full blood picture)能够检验出白血球和红血球的异常状况。红血球缺乏可能导致贫血，而白血球则可能导致血癌。
B型肝炎检验能检查出是否感染B型肝炎，及人体对肝炎的免疫能力。肝炎是肝脏因肝炎病毒所引发致病。肝炎带原者应该每六个月至一年进行一次健康检查，并多与医生会诊，以观察肝脏的状况。
血液胆固醇检验对检视我们的血液中所含的胆固醇含量是很重要的。年满20岁以上的人必须至少每五年做一次“空腹血脂” (fasting blood lipid) 的血液检验。这项检验能测量出我们体内LPL胆固醇（坏的胆固醇）、HDL胆固醇（好的胆固醇）和三酸甘油酯(triglyceride)的含量。LPL胆固醇和三酸甘油酯会增加罹患心血管疾病的危险，因此其在人体内所含越少越好。这项血脂检验必须在禁食10-12小时后进行，因此最好的检验时间是在早上。
肾功能检验能够检查出肾衰竭、骨质及副甲状腺等的疾病；而肝功能检验则能检查出肝脏的异常情形。在抽取血液样本之前，必须禁食10-12小时，但允许喝水。
微白蛋白(micro-albumin)和糖化血红素(HbA1c)的检验主要针对糖尿病患者或高血压患者。微白蛋白检验需要抽取尿液样本，而糖化血红素检验则需由手臂或指尖抽取血液样本。这两种检验能够帮助病患控制并发症的产生，以缓和或治愈病症。
总的来说，良好的生活作息和均衡的饮食对维持健康是很重要的。健康的生活作息包括经常运动、减少吸烟和喝酒，并要维持均衡饮食，控制饱和脂肪、胆固醇的摄取量，并多吃抗氧化食物。摄取富含高纤维的食物能帮助减少血液中的胆固醇含量，降低罹患高血压、糖尿病、肠癌等疾病的危险。适量的运动、充足的睡眠、饮用干净的食水、呼吸新鲜的空气等，都可以减轻我们的生活压力，减少疾病的产生。长春的优质产品如长春绿宝灵、长春高纤素、长春芦荟汁、长春绿茶、长春空气净化器II以及长春生命能量水，是您的健康生活良伴，让您拥抱健康人生!
