What Everyone Should Know About Allergic Reactions Caused by Hives/Urticaria and the Best Way to Avoid It

Wednesday, 19 June 2013


Hives / Urticaria look like pale red bumps and patches on your skin. They are itchy and can cause burning sensations. They can appear anywhere on your body, including your tongue, ears and lips. They can last for days or weeks.

What Causes Hives?

Hives / Urticaria are caused by allergic reactions that your body has to certain foods, dyes, chemicals, insect bites, medicines or infections. These substances are called allergens. When you are allergic to any of these, your body releases histamine. Histamine causes your blood plasma to leak out of the small blood vessels on your skin, leading to these raised bumps.

Most common foods that can cause hives are:
  • Nuts (including almonds and peanuts)
  • Seafood (fish, prawns)
  • Eggs and milk
  • Wheat
  • Medicines (aspirin, NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines)).
Types of Hives

1. Acute urticaria
Last for less than 6 weeks. Usually caused by foods, medicines and insect bites.

2. Chronic urticaria
Last for more than 6 weeks. Caused by autoimmune diseases, infections and cancer.

3. Physical urticaria
Caused by direct stimulation of your skin, e.g. extreme heat or cold, sun exposure, sweating, certain types of clothes material, exercise etc.

4. Dermatographism
Occur after you firmly stroke or scratch your skin.


Can Hives be Treated?

Yes. If you know what allergen has caused it, you can avoid them:
  • If you can't eat nuts, avoid all foods with nuts in them.
  • If you can't wear certain jewellery or watches because of the nickel in them, then don't wear anything containing nickel.
  • Take antihistamines to combat the histamine that's being released in your skin.
  • Bathe in lukewarm water. Use gentle soap that's hypoallergenic.
  • Apply a cool wet compress to the affected area.
  • Keep cool at all times.

What If..

What if you can't avoid the allergens e.g. your medications? 
Or what if you can't identify what's the exact cause of your hives / urticaria? 
Or what if your hives / urticaria is caused by autoimmune diseases or cancer?
Is there Any Other Solution?


Yes. Lingzhi / Ganoderma is known for its ability to effectively modulate your immune system i.e. it can bring your immune cells to an optimal level and thus, help you manage our allergic reactions better and speed up the recovery process. Lingzhi will also help protect your liver, which will be damaged from prolonged consumption of antihistamines and other medications.

Bits & Bites #2 - Health

Saturday, 15 June 2013

This post is part of a weekly series sharing Bits of mishmash on health, my business and life in general, which I find inspirational, enlightening or enriching.
And Bites of delicious food I have enjoyed. 


The Local
Vitamins that come in round, tablet form look that way due to fillers and binders that are used to make them that way. They are cheaper to manufacture and have longer shelf life.
However, any synthetic ingredients used are harmful to our body and may cause allergy to some people.
Why not try something completely natural and wholesome? 
Try Yung Kien Bee Pollen.

-----------------------------

Lingzhi’s unique Dual-Regulating Feature ensures all your body functions are balanced at the optimum level (not overly enhanced/suppressed), including blood pressure level, blood sugar, hormones, thyroids, immune system etc. This is due to the presence of both these components – Triterpenoid and Polysaccharide.

However, NOT All Lingzhi have dual-regulating effect.
Certain strains of Lingzhi do not have sufficient Triterpenoid.
Certain methods of processing strip Lingzhi of this component.
So choose your Lingzhi wisely.
Good news - Shuang Hor’s Lingzhi passes this test.

-------------------------------

Jia Hor Soya Protein is so Safe that even kidney dialysis patients can consume it without fear.

-------------------------------

The Western medicines have no cure for Epilepsy. However, Lingzhi stands out because it can. But not all Lingzhi are created equal. Some of us find that Jia Hor Lingzhi has greater effectiveness compared to Yung Kien Ganoderma for Epilepsy cases. 
The more severe cases will eventually suffer from less epileptic seizures. 
The less severe cases can fully recover after consuming Lingzhi.

----------------------------------

If you're having the runs and suspect it's caused by food poisoning, quickly pop in 2 sachets of Lacto-berry 3 times a day. It helps settle your stomach and push out the bad bacteria that's causing your diarrhea.

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Some Painless Remedies

Tuesday, 11 June 2013


Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where there is pressure on the median nerve - the nerve in your wrist that supplies feeling and movement to parts of your hand. The area of the wrist where the nerve enters the hand is called carpal tunnel. This tunnel is normally narrow, so any swelling can pinch the nerve and cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is often associated with certain Conditions including:
  • under-active thyroid
  • diabetes
  • pregnancy
  • menopause
  • obesity
  • certain drugs.
It is speculated that the water retention (oedema) that occurs in some of these conditions may affect the wrist and lead to the syndrome.

Some of the Causes are:
  • activities that involve moving the wrist a lot eg. typing, playing certain musical instruments, using hand tools that vibrate etc.
  • genetics
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • wrist fractures.

How to Effectively Manage Diabetes Using Natural Method Without Changing Your Entire Lifestyle

Wednesday, 5 June 2013

Diabetes occurs when our pancreas (which produces insulin) is not working well, so it can't regulate our blood's glucose level, resulting in prolonged elevation of glucose levels in our blood.

Symptoms that you may have Diabetes:


In Malaysia, diabetes is the leading cause of stroke, heart disease, blindness, leg amputation and kidney failure. The first NHMS (National Health and Morbidity Survey) in 1986 reported a diabetes prevalence of 6.3% among adults aged below 30 years old. Now the prevalence has jumped to 20.8%. Even then, this figure is said to be dramatically under-reported. 

How to Manage Diabetes

Lifestyle changes including:
  • Exercising at least 30 minutes daily
  • Keeping an ideal weight
  • Stop smoking
  • Diet change
  • Stress management.
Generally, the average person has diabetes 10 years before diagnosis. Symptoms from diabetes usually come when the disease is much more advanced, making it harder to manage by just making lifestyle changes. 

Diabetic medications work to stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin and release glucose from the liver to provide energy. The problem with most diabetes medications is that it tends to cause Hypoglycaemia (where blood glucose drops to dangerous levels).

Characteristics of Hypoglycaemia:

This is a medical emergency as the patient can develop confusion, seizures or lose consciousness.

Diabetes requires a lifetime of care. Patients need to be constantly motivated to control their blood glucose level.

(Source: A lethal combination - Sweet sorrow, StarFit4Life, 28 April 2013)

An Alternative Solution?

Most diabetic patients find it difficult or don't want to change their lifestyles to manage this disease. Hence they end up having to take medications for their whole life. We know how damaging medications are for our whole body system, including liver and kidney.


What if you know of a solution that is Safe, Effective and has No Side Effects?
Would you choose that instead?
The solution is called Yung Kien Ganoderma. For scientific studies and evidence from clinical trials, please click on this weblink,

What You Don't Know About Bipolar Disorder

Friday, 31 May 2013


Dr Eric Youngstrom is an expert on bipolar disorder.
He is a professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, USA. He is also an acting director of the Center of Excellence for Research and Treatment of Bipolar Disorder.

Here, he shares some views:

Q. What is bipolar disorder? How is it different from the general mood swings that many people experience?

A. Bipolar disorder is a condition that leads to extreme changes in mood, energy and sleep. It's different as the swings happen with more frequency and intensity, and last much longer. The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines 4 different types of bipolar disorder:

I) person has had a manic episode at least once in his life.
II) person becomes seriously depressed, but also has a history of hypomania (a milder mania).
III) cyclothymic disorder, where the person has years of depressive and hypomanic symptoms without developing a full mania or depression.
IV) situations that don't fit into any of the above.

Q. How prevalent is bipolar disorder?

A. Bipolar disorders in children and teens are half as common as compared to adults (which affects 4% of the general population in the world). It is a third as common as depression. For youths, it appears equally common in both eastern and western parts of the world. For adults, it may be lower in Asia than in the US.

Q. What causes bipolar disorder? 

A. It is caused by a combination of biological and environmental factors. Other factors include genes, diet, stress, trauma, intense emotional conflicts in families. The risk factors appear to be the same for children, adolescents and adults. However, youths are more likely to experience mania (mixture of high energy with negative mood) while adults experience mostly depression.

Q. What are the most effective treatments for the disorder?

A. Treatments focus on smoothing out the highs and lows in mood and energy. The goal is to prevent the progression of bipolar disorder, delay relapse and improve functioning in between episodes. Some ways include understanding the triggers and ways of managing the illness, improve communication and reduce intense emotional family conflict, and emphasise regular sleep and activity patterns.

(Source: A double whammy, StarFit4Life, 28 October 2012)

What other options are available?


Take Lingzhi / Ganoderma. 
Mayo Clinic states that imbalanced hormones may be involved in causing or triggering bipolar disorder. Imbalanced brain chemicals called neurotransmitters also appear to play a significant role in bipolar disorder.

Lingzhi is known as an Adaptogen, whereby it has a normalizing influence on our body. This means it is capable of toning down the activity of the hyperfunctioning systems or strengthening the activity of hypofunctioning systems. Hence, Lingzhi is able to regulate back the imbalances and thereby improve the bipolar conditions.

Guest Blog: How Is Cardio Workout Plan Beneficial For You?

Friday, 24 May 2013


Cardiovascular exercise, or cardio, is a type of exercise that increases one’s heart rate and blood circulation throughout the body. In all exercise plans, cardio workouts should be included because not only is it beneficial for one’s cardiovascular system, but also it is effective in helping one lose weight by burning off those calories and pounds gained.

Engaging in any physical activities, particularly cardio exercises helps you burn calories. This means that the more intense the activity is, more calories will be burned which in effect, helps you shed off those unwanted fats and flab. Nonetheless, cardio exercises are not all about losing weight. In fact, there are many reasons why incorporating and performing cardio routines are beneficial for you.

1.   It improves your heart’s condition 
One of the benefits of cardio exercises is that it helps improve your heart’s health. Just like any other muscle, your heart needs to be pumped up and worked out in order to be strong. Keep in mind that the stronger your heart is, more blood is being pumped during contractions, thus lowering your heart’s resting rate.

2.     It helps boost energy 
Every time you exercise, oxygen is delivered to your body tissues which help your cardiovascular system work more effectively and efficiently. In return, your heart and lungs function normally and more effectively as well, thus giving you enough energy to help you last through the day.

3.  It reduces mental issues 
Aside from improving your physical condition, cardio workouts can also provide you with stress-relieving benefits. Whenever you exercise, feel good hormones are released in your body. As a result, any forms of depression, stress or anxiety are decreased, giving you a more positive outlook in life and improved self esteem.

4.  It helps increase metabolism 
Another advantage of conducting cardio exercises is it helps increase your metabolism rate, which in turn makes it easier for you to lose and maintain your weight.

5.     It enhances the mood and physical condition 
One benefit of doing cardio activities is it helps promote better and deeper sleep, giving you a more relaxed feeling the following morning. Also, performing cardio exercises regularly can help boost your confidence by feeling good about yourself and your appearance, knowing that you are losing weight and maintaining a healthy body. Regular exercises can also help increase sexual arousal among women and reduces the possibility of experiencing erectile dysfunction among men.

6.     Improves muscle mass 
After your lifting sessions, get onto a treadmill for a walk or light jog to reduce delayed onset of muscle soreness and at the same time, bring more oxygen to the muscle tissue which can help you get back faster and be able to work again on those muscles.

Apart from all these benefits, cardio workouts such as running, biking or swimming are fun activities to do which not only helps you lose weight, but also improves your physical body and mental health as a whole.
