I remember when I was in my twenties, my family doctor would give me iron pills every time I see him.
Iron deficiency is more common among women while men tend to have excessive iron levels.
Excess iron is stored in your organs, especially your liver, heart and pancreas. Excess iron produces the opposite effect of anti-oxidant, meaning they oxidize your body like rusting and causes premature aging.
How do excess iron increase your risk of diabetes? Excess iron levels may cause damage to muscle tissue, thereby decreasing the body’s ability to move glucose from the blood into cells, thus resulting with too much glucose accumulating in the bloodstream. Excess iron can destroy the cells that produce insulin in your pancreas and cause diabetes as insulin is responsible for using up the glucose.
Chlorogenic acid extracted from green coffee beans, as a health supplement, can help to slow down the amount of glucose entering the bloodstream, activates the body to burn off the excessive fat and glucose, thus helping to regulate your blood sugar level.
Digestion is the most tedious exercise that engages all the internal organs in the body. The moment you take a bite of food, it will travel a journey that is 6 times your height, which is the length of your intestinal tract, before it is discharged out of the body. First the food needs to be digested in the stomach and be broken down into small bio-available units which your body can absorb, then the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine before the remaining waste moves to the large intestine.
You will be in good health if this journey is smooth and quick. If this process is slow and dragging, many toxins can be produced. How? Imagine you leave a piece of fish outside for a day. It smells. It takes about 4 hours for meat to be fully digested in the body and up to 8 hours for seafood. When you sleep, the body stops working and rests. So the food will sit somewhere along the intestinal tract overnight. Therefore, it is better to leave all your seafood for lunch and avoid them at dinner.
Why do some people feel hungry again easily soon after they finished eating? Because their bodies and internal organs are not getting the nutrients they need. This is common among the elderly people. This is also the reason why some people grow fat because they keep eating to satisfy their never ending hunger as their bodies are not getting the nutrition they need. So they end up with excessive belly fat under the skin and visceral fat around the internal organs. (Lean ‘N Slim™ green coffee extract can help to burn off the excess belly fat and visceral fat!)
Start each meal with the easily digestible stuff first. Drink your soup first, then eat your vegetables, followed by the starchy food like rice and potato, then eat protein last such as egg and meat. Leave seafood to the end if there is. Avoid drinking any liquid, especially cold beverage, after meal. Fat generally does not digest very well in cold temperature. And maintain a balanced intestinal flora.
There is an important inhabitant in the intestine called the Bifidus bacteria. They cling onto the intestinal wall and form a barrier against invaders. They also filter toxins away and prevent them from entering the bloodstream through the intestinal wall. Their most important role is to help break down food and help optimize nutrients absorption from food. Therefore, having abundant friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract will foster a healthy digestive system, promote better nutrition absorption, regulate appetite and help weight control.

On average, a person who weighs about 70kg has about 45kg of total fluid in his body including his blood. His blood content actually occupies only a very small portion of the total body fluid, about 5kg in the blood vessels. About 30kg of fluid are in the cells. Generally, the pH level in the blood vessels and cells do not change and maintain at about 7.4 and 7.0 respectively.
Why do some people have more acidic body than others? This happens when you have too much unwanted waste that is clogged up in the system. Your body cells, trying to maintain the “cleanliness within the house”, will throw any garbage outside of the cell. As toxins build up outside the cells and internal organs, the pH level of the fluid in the body becomes more acidic, and this can be reflected in your saliva and sweat.
Outside the blood vessels and cells is a 10kg fluid content which deposits all your acidic waste. Many factors can change the pH level. For example, if you keep late nights, pH level drops by about 0.4. Other factors include poor diet and chronic stress.
When your body becomes excessive acidic, minerals including potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium may be stolen from your bones and vital organs to balance the acidity. As a result, this can increase the risk of a number of conditions including chronic fatigue, chronic inflammation, weight gain, obesity and diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, weak or brittle bones, fractures and bone spurs, etc.
So what is a normal healthy pH level? If your saliva is between 7 to 7.4, your body is within healthy range. How do you maintain a healthy pH level? Increase your intake of alkalinizing food such as dark colored fruits and green vegetables and reduce intake of acidifying food such as high protein food.
To achieve the fundamental goal of reducing acidic garbage accumulating inside the body, Happy Oligo® which is nutrient for feeding the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract can promote abundant friendly bacteria to optimize your digestion and absorption, reducing the accumulation of toxic waste. Lean ‘n Slim™ green coffee extract helps to reduce the accumulation of waste in the bloodstream, improves blood circulation and also lessens the causes of acidity.
