Nutrition vs medication

Most of the time I feel frustrated to make people aware that ‘Prevention is better than cure’. But prevention is very hard to accept by people. Most people don’t come to nutrition until the medication don’t work 🥴

They only react unless they have to like they only rushing to build or buy fireplace in Winter for warm. They should prepare it in summer time.... in long term cheaper, not rushing and is ready when needed 😚

Are you experiencing this too?

GMO - Processed fake food

Our world has changed measurably over the last 100 years but our biochemistry has not. Our body is still need the same old food, real food they always did. Please don’t forget that 🙏

Everyday most people are eating a diet so low in fibre, but is so high in added processed junks. Most people’s main carbs are white flour and white sugar. Their main fat is from bottle of oil and factory farmed animal products. The diet like this no wonder most people are sick or suffering some kind of malnutrition illnesses and obesity and diabetes etc 🥴

Best way is eat the nutritional and healthy food first before anything so that your stomach can fit any junk food in ☺️

What we are going to do with Eczema?

https://www.carydotlam.co.uk/single-post/2020/04/24/What-we-are-going-to-do-with-Eczema

Eczema can happen to anyone at any ages throughout his or her lives. The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to an irritant. Eczema is commonly found in families with history of other allergies or asthma too.

The standard treatments made with hydrocortisone steroids can quickly relieve itching and reduce inflammation. But the down side for lengthy use will be in result of thinning you skin. Therefore, if you can help it, just to use the hydrocortisone steroids for extreme situation, while you are using diet, lifestyle to help to calm down the eczema. As soon as the eczema calmed down from flare out, then you should consider stopping the steroids cream treatment and use other products to maintain your eczema in a manageable condition.

Like myself from time to time I do suffer eczema, but as soon as it appears, I use my own remedies to control it before it flare up. Therefore I never have to use the steroids cream which I do keep it at home just in case.

Our life style, diet and stress can be the main contributor for our eczema. You can find some information below can help you to combat or deal with eczema.

What we eat can cause the eczema flared up. Some studies show that these might make eczema worse; especially for babies and children. They are peanuts, milk, soy, wheat, gluten, fish and eggs are the most common culprits.

The type of foods to eat to treat eczema will be food contains flaxseed oil, food with fatty acids, pumpkin or chia seeds, probiotic rich foods like goat’s milk.

There are ways to help eczema to stop itching by soak in warm bath or take a shower regularly and then moisturize immediately afterward. You can consider adding oatmeal, baking soda, vinegar or salt to your bath water can help to calm specific symptoms of eczema too.

Unfortunately there is no cure for fully developed eczema. We can only consider using treatments to heal the affected skin and prevent flare up symptoms. For those who want to cover up your eczema, make sure you are using the cream based concealer and pick ones that include shea butter, glycerin or lanolin.

For me, my eczema comes and goes over the years, but I learnt to notice and take action at the early stage, using my remedies to control it before it flare out. Through my diet and detoxing, my eczema is well under control over the years. If you want to know more about what remedies I use and how to control the eczema, just message me.🙏✌️

Under Active Thyroid (Hypothyroidism)

Recently I have a few people asking me about Hypothyroidism issues and treatment. So I just thought to share some information with you here.

An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is where your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones. Common signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain, muscle aches and feeling depressed.

Unfortunately both men and women even including children can suffer such condition but are common in women. The standard treatment from your GP will be hormone replacement medication (Levothyroxine). The problem is once you've started the medication usually you will need treatment for the rest of your life. But when you are taking Levothyroxine, you get symptoms like sweating, chest pain, headaches, diarrhoea and vomiting, then you need to stop and go to see your GP because of the side effect.

In most cases of an underactive thyroid are caused by the immune system attacking the thyroid gland and damaging it. What this means we need to ensure that we have a strong immune system by increasing higher level of antioxidants.

What are a few things you can do to improve your thyroid function?

* Make sure you are taking a high quality of multivitamin, Iodine, Zinc, Selenium, Iron, Vitamin D and B vitamins.

* Go gluten free!

* Deal with your stress and support your adrenal glands. The adrenal glands and thyroid work hand and hand. I recommend restorative yoga and adapt genic herbs, which support the adrenal glands in coping with stress.

* Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night.

* Increase your intake of cruciferous vegetables. If you are taking Levothyroxine or any Hormone replacement medication, then avoid it. If not, eat more of them.

* Heal your gut. A properly functioning digestive system (gut) is critical to good health.

* Regular workouts, yoga to control your weight.

* Find a functional medicine doctor in your area and have them run the above laboratory tests and work with you to find our root cause of the thyroid imbalance.

It is quite important that you need to ensure you have high level of antioxidants inside your body to strengthen your immune system. Good supplementation alongside with your healthy diet will definitely help with your medication too.

Message me if you want to find out more, how to measure the level of antioxidants and also to find out your idea weight.

If you also want to share you experience regarding Under Active Thyroid, please do not hesitate to add your comment to this post.

Everyday our body is undergoing the oxidation process meaning that we are getting older everyday. How fast we age is very much depends on our lifestyle and how to look after our skin and immune system. Fortunately we can visualise our ageing from the look of our skin. Unfortunately we have no idea how to monitor a healthy immune system. We all know that we need to eat more colourful fruit and vegetable. Unlike our skin, we use good skin care products for our skin and we can see the result, but we cannot see what inside of our body.

Would you like to know how healthy inside of your body? I can help if you can message me for more info.
