Hidden Hunger is a term that WHO uses to refer to Micronutrient Deficiencies, which occurs when the quality of food that people eat doesn't meet their nutrient requirements. As such, they are not getting the essential vitamins and minerals they need for their growth and development. According to statistics, approximately 2 billion people worldwide are suffering from health problems due to deficiencies in these micronutrients.

There are many aspects that cause Micronutrient Deficiencies, including:

> Changes in life and work styles, with longer indoor working hours, less outdoor activity and physical exertion, and a decrease in food intake.

> Increased exposure to radiation due to the popularity of electronic gadgets, causing harm to our body in the long run.

> Negative effects of the advent of technology where even though the quantity of food production has increased, but the essential micronutrients have decreased. Consuming the same amount of food is no longer sufficient to meet the body's needs.

Long-term nutritional deficiency can lead to suboptimal health and eventually diseases. 

How to improve or maintain health so that people have fewer chronic diseases?

The best way to address Hidden Hunger is to Eat right and eat well. A complete and balanced diet of essential nutrients and minerals is crucial for the proper functioning of our body. Pollen is one of the most natural and complete food that fits the body's nutritional needs.

How to identify quality pollen?

a) Professional and strict testing - free from pesticides and microbial contamination, with strict expert control.

b) Natural and pure in origin - zero pollution and close to nature.

c) Sealed collection and strict selection - pollen grains selected by the bees.

d) Approximately 200 types of micronutrients which are natural and wholesome.

Protein is one of the major nutrients in human body. Protein is made up of amino acids. Human body cannot manufacture essential amino acids. Our body does not store protein - excessive protein would be converted into fat or excreted from the body. Hence, protein needs to be constantly supplied from dietary source.

Major Functions of Protein

• Major structural components of cells and tissues; and is necessary for building and repairing tissues and organs. 
• Forms our enzymatic system and regulates body metabolism.
• For immunity and protection.
• Transport materials in the body.
• Supply energy.

F-A-T-S is a bad four-letter word to many of us. We are under the impression that fats make us fat and is bad for our health. But these perceptions are only half right.

I love to eat.
I still want to look good (not fat).
I want to stay healthy.

If this describes you, then this article is for you. You will find out how to identify your level of health and how to take care of it.


Q. Which category are you in?
The majority of us fall in the Pre-Illness category. If we don't take care, it will be a matter of time before we fall into the Illness category.

Q. Do you know why you fall sick?
Primarily due to 2 main causes:
(i) Hereditary.
(ii) Acquired, which can be Acute i.e. sudden attacks from virus / bacteria, or Chronic, which happens over time from unhealthy lifestyle, bad dietary habits, stress, negative emotions etc.

Another way to look at our level of health is by using the 7 Stages of Illness chart.


These symptoms give you an indication of how healthy you are at this moment.

Which stage are you at?
To get to Stage 3, it usually takes a long time to degenerate from one stage to another.
But after Stage 4, your disease will progress quite quickly. Cancer is the end result of toxin built-up.

In order to gain back a healthy body, you must:
(i) Expel out the toxins.
(ii) Allow your body to regain its self-healing ability.

Having a "clean" diet over the long-term gives us increased energy, improved physical appearance and fewer symptoms of illness. We love to have that so we can enjoy a busy life full of meaningful activities, right?

But consuming a balanced diet is not enough. Even if you are eating the right food in the right amounts, you may not benefit from the nutrients, because nutrients aren't technically in our body until they have been Absorbed. That's why it's so important to understand how absorption works.

Food that we eat gets broken down by the hydrochloric acid and enzymes (protease, lipase and amylase) in our stomach into smaller molecules that then make their way into our upper intestine before entering the bloodstream, which delivers nutrients to the body organs.

The 2 types of nutrients absorbed are:

a) Macronutrients which are derived from carbohydrates, proteins and fats. They are foods that power your body directly.

b) Micronutrients are derived from vitamins and minerals. They are vital to the process of enabling the release of fuel from macronutrients.

Nutrients pass into the bloodstream through:

a) Passive diffusion, like pouring liquid over a piece of cloth. Most vitamins are absorbed in this way.

b) Active transport absorption, where nutrients need an assistant / molecule to help carry them pass the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. Calcium and magnesium are delivered in this manner.

Without sufficient absorption, nutrients can't be utilised maximally. So even if you diligently follow food serving sizes, it is not an accurate measurement of how much nutrients you are actually getting.

Your body naturally aims to achieve homeostasis - a balance. You body will only take in nutrients that are insufficient until homeostasis is achieved.

The good news is there are things you can do to optimise the benefits of your food.
Here are 6 tips on how to boost your nutrients absorption:

1) To counter the stress that wreaks havoc on our wellbeing, consume a balanced and high-fibre diet. Supplement with Jia Hor Fiber if you are unable to consume up to 1 kg of vege a day.

2) Exercise at least 3 times a week, as it is the perfect way to get your blood circulating, de-stress and feel better mentally.

3) Substantially reduce smoking and consumption of alcohol.

4) Educate yourself on what food combination to consume which can increase the efficiency of nutrient absorption. For example, mixing raw or semi-cooked vege with olive oil or avocado can help our body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K more effectively. Or combining vitamin C with iron-rich foods will enhance the mineral's absorption. To ensure you have sufficient quality micro-nutrients, take 2 sachets of Yung Kien Pollen everyday, as each grain contains up to 200 types of vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

5) Strengthen your gut health. A normal gut contains about 1.5 kg of bacteria, including lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. They play an important role in breaking down food molecules and harnessing that energy for storage and usage. Supplement with a high grade probiotics called Lactoberry which gives you up to 40 billion good bacteria per sachet.

6) Manage your stress level, as stress creates a lot of toxins which damage your body organs and interfere with smooth absorption of nutrients. Restore your body's natural healing ability by taking Shuang Hor Lingzhi.

It is up to you to figure out how you can improve your health in order to encourage better nutrient absorption.

Some children don't grow as tall or as fast as others. Their growth is stunted. Stunting not only causes a lack of height, but more importantly, it can cause major short and long term effects on children. This include poor performance in school, reduced lean body mass and diminished intellectual functioning.

3 Main Factors that Lead a Child to Stunting

1) Reduced intake of nutrients

Our body needs many different types of nutrients taken from different foods in order to grow optimally and function properly. Children who are picky eaters run the risk of consuming insufficient nutrients.

Children's ability to eat normally is also affected by certain chronic conditions they suffer from. For example, a child with heart disease may experience rapid breathing, which causes them to use up a lot more calories. Therefore they need to consume more calories than normal healthy children to keep up with their body's demands.

Deprivation of nutrients can also be due to:

• poverty 
• parents who are not properly educated about what constitute healthy diet
• poor preparation and cooking practices which destroy the nutrients.

The lack of nutrients weakens the child's immune system and can lead to recurrent infections (e.g. pneumonia, hepatitis, influenza), which expose them to the risk of cognitive impairment and stunting.

2) Increased losses / failure to absorb nutrients

Diseases like scleroderma and celiac disease slow bowel movement, which causes bacterial concentration in the gut. GERD (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) can cause frequent vomiting and indigestion. Diarrhoea can be caused by bacterial/viral infections or inflammation of the gut (e.g. ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease).

All these can lead to nutrient loss when the child goes to the toilet too often or their intestines are unable to fully absorb the nutrients, which in turn cause weight loss, poor weight gain, poor growth and abdominal pain.

3) Unable to utilise nutrients

Children who suffer from a hormone deficiency may be unable to efficiently use all the nutrients they consume.

Children with hypothyroidism may experience poor growth, delayed development of permanent teeth, delayed puberty and poor mental development.

3 Ways to Prevent Childhood Stunting

a) Healthy diet

Feed the child with a healthy diet, which is moderately portioned with different varieties of food types, texture and colours.
Supplement with Yung Kien Pollen, as it contains more than 200 types of nutrients, including more than 16 types of vitamins, 16 types of minerals and 94 types of enzymes and coenzymes. Bee Pollen is 100% natural and wholesome and is nature's most complete food after mother's milk.

Supplement with Jia Hor Fiber, as it not only contains non soluble and soluble fiber, it also contains Lingzhi, which does an excellent job to regulate the body's overall wellbeing.

c) Avoid antibiotics

Avoid giving the child antibiotics as it kills both bad and good bacteria. Good bacteria is needed for gut and overall health as the gut houses about 80% of our body's immune cells.
Supplement with Lactoberry probiotics, as it not only encourages the growth of good bacteria, it also helps prevent allergy problem and improve their immune system.
