Generation Green Vegetables has Antioxidants Property - Neutralize Free Radical


First of all what are Antioxidants and what do they do for us?  In basic terms, Antioxidants are taken into our bodies by the kinds of food we eat.  Antioxidants slow down or even prevents the oxidation of molecules in our cellular structure.  Molecules, when they become oxidized, can create free-radicals, or cellar bi-products, and can cause problems in our cellular structure. 
  
Free radicals cause a destructive process in the cells, causing the molecules within our cells to become unstable.  They can even cause cancer cells to form.  They try to attack other healthy cells, and in turn, the healthy cells react in the same way as the free-radical cells.  The free-radical are bullies that push everyone else around.  The "nice" cells soon become just like the bullies.  This plays a big roll in our diseases we have today, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other health issues.  We can produce this by the foods we eat and the medicine we take, sun exposure and smoking.  Antioxidants help to prevent free radicals. 
  
The secret to getting more antioxidants into our body is simply eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.  You need at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.  Blueberry's are rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber and other nutrients.  Watermelon, pomegranate juice, and apple juice all have antioxidants in them. 
  
Nutritional researchers have discovered a secret to a long healthy life-antioxidants.  They hold the secret to staying young.  Antioxidants boost our immune system and the cellar metabolism.  These are needed for the immune system to work properly.  When there is balance maintained between the antioxidants and the free radicals your health is much better.  One more important Antioxidants can due is to reduce the risk for cataracts.  Antioxidants work in every cell in our body.  They have benefits that can have an impact on just about every part of our health problems.  So, to sum it up, eat five servings of Fruits and Vegetables a day.
 
Practical Test Conducted on Generation Green Veg - To test the antioxidant property
 
1. Harvest Chye Sim along my corridor - Natural growing process with no chemicals and pesticides.

2. Cutting the roots.

3. Chye Sim Harvest @ 10pm

4. Wash the vegetable with tap water with no soaking of vinegar to neutralize toxic.

5. Juice the veggies.

6. Minimal fibre - Harvest at vegetable at the peak.

7. Closer look on the squeezing of the chye sim.

8. Pure Chye Sim chlorophyll

9. Test the chlorophyll with ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential), -025 m/V after 5 min.


10. Last reading, -33 m/V
 

 
The purpose of the above test is to find how good is Generation Green vegetables. And how this quality vegetables which is grow under the management of Generation Green has benefited myself, my family and many of our friends and customers who believe in our brand.
 
The above reading shown negative charge ion, it is has the ability to hydrate our cell and keep our body immunity strong by neutralizing positive charge ion (free radical). Thus consuming antioxidant food (vegetables and fruits - living food) does help to keep our body healthy.
 
How it work?
O2 + Hydrogen molecule (alkaline food + plant mineral ) = H2O.
 
I will continue to test various type of vegetables with difference method of growing process to ascertain my curiosity.
 
I believe the finding will be interesting.

Food for Dengue Fever (Personal Experience)

Will not explain detail what is dengue but will zoom in into detail how my family, friends, doctors & nurses (Changi General Hospital), Generation Green Veg (chemical and pesticide free leafy veg) and myself banded together to provide me the highest medical care to ensure my platelet remain stable.

Back ground

1. Dengue fever (UK /ˈdɛŋɡ/ or US /ˈdɛŋɡ/), also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus.

2. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is similar to measles.

3 Risk - In a small proportion of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.

How it started (Recall)

4. Bitten (suspected but unknown location) - Weeks ago.

5. Virus Activated - Week later (Fever)

Incremental stage
6. 26th - 27th Oct (1 & 2days) - Feeling feverish (temperature not recorded). Occasionally feeling cold and limbs are week. Thought normal fever. Ignore!

7. 27th Oct - After work, taken pancofen (muscle relaxant, fever panadol)

8. 28th to 29th Oct (3rd and 4th days) - Couldn't stand the symptoms, visit GP in the evening. Medical attention received - A jab into my body to bring down fever. (Do not suspect it is dengue). Rest at home plus received Ba Guan treatment.

9. 30th October  (5th days) - requested my wife to bring me to hospital. The pain is excruciating. All the symptoms is killing me. Received medical attention, 3 bags of saline to keep body hydrate, X -ray, Blood test. Doctors confirmed is dengue fever. Platelet drop but not alarming. Doctor allow me to go home and rest.

10. 31th October (6th days) - Seek immediate medical attention, vomit traces of blood. couldn't breadth properly. Nausea and nearly collapse. Upon A&E, doctors confirmed my platelet drop drastically and needed to be warded. Needed 24 hours medical attention.

11. 1st to 3 Nov (9th days) - Blood test confirmed platelet count drop to 35, then to 28 then to the final low 12. Doctors is worry caused there is no medication to treat dengue BUT only body immunity. Doctors instruction, CRIB (complete rest in bed), 24 hours saline, daily blood test, medication to protect vital organ, vitamin C pill, fever medication, prevent vomiting medication. Drink more water. Hourly temperature, blood pressure test & lastly BLOOD TRANFUSION

Soul-Mind-Body - (Keep Me Alive)
Soul - Believe in yourself

Mind - Keep the mind Strong, I am worry. I thought to myself, my family is still young and I have so many chapter in life have yet accomplish. I must stay alive.

Body - Use Fresh Food

How I do it - FOOD!!!!!!
During this period of transition, it is either you win or virus win. Most often the body is too weak to eat. MY advise: EAT. And EAT! And EAT MORE!

Soup No 1.
12. Small Bitter Gourd double boil with Frog
(5/6pcs Small Bitter Gourd double boil with 2 Frogs, recommended buy from Jurong Frog Farm Local. Why? Fresh and the process of growing is natural. no hormones are artificially induce grow. Noted: do not add other stuff like red dates or wolf berry. Cause heaty.)

Soup no 2
13. Zhen Zhu Cai with Pig Liver (a remedy to increase blood count. It is recommended by Sherry's Father. Very Effective! )

Fresh Green Vegetables
14. Generation Green Veg (No chemical No Pesticide) - Lightly stir fried Kai Lan and Spinach.

Fresh Fruits
15. Eat orange, lemon/ green apple juice, papaya, water melon, blueberry, honey dew, banana,

Drink
16. Drink Fresh Milk, Milo, plain water (no coffee/tea)

Hospital Meal
17. Eat

How to eat? Eat small meal interval. Jus eat, urinate and shit.

Note: Do not feel that it is troublesome to goes toilet, during this phrase, the body need vital mineral and vitamin to continue to fight the virus. If the body lack of nutrient, it will be weaken and the dengue virus will win. Why eat? this is to keep the body at optimal body condition to absorb whatever nutrients available to keep the virus at bay.

How do you know when you body is fighting?
18. Obvious body sign. Frequent urinating and poo poo. At the beginning, the poo poo is very liquid and not much smell. Subsequently, you smell of poo get very stern and greenish. Then, it start to become very unsightly but it alright. A sign of detox. The body is expelling the dengue virus out of the body. When the body get better, so were the poos, it start to turn greenish to yellow then to brown. From liquid, to semi liquid and to solid. At this juncture, you beginning to feel your body get stronger. Remember, continue to eat.

Miracles Happen
19. On 4th November, blood test taken, the platelet count jump from 12 to 28 and then to 54. It is a double digit jump.

Explain
20. Base on natural food, food that is not contaminated with hormones, chemicals or pesticides will give less stress to the body. Henceforth, when my body is down, I focus using NATURAL FOOD to combat the invader and focus the food energy into strength to assist in my recovery.

Discharge
21. 4th November @ 2pm. But was given the blessing by the doctor requesting me to continue to rest at home. No work till the nxt appointment blood test.

I will talk more on bitter gourd, kai lan, Spinach and fruits for my next few posting.

If the patient is children, blend the food into liquid and feed them.

Enjoy abundant of wealth with good health.

Why Select Natural Food?
Select Less Food Additive 

It perform many functions, from giving flavour and colour, to preventing food from spoiling. However, some may produce side effects, such as allergic reactions. Food may also contain potentially HARMFUL substances such as growth hormones, antibiotics and pesticides, which can be contribute to toxic overload in the body.
 
Natural/ Organic Food
If choose organic food, which is grown without chemicals, you will reduce the THREAT to your health

Getting the most VITAMINS & MINERALS from your food
- Do not cut or wash FRUITS and VEGETABLES until you are ready to eat them
- Eat the skin of the VEGETABLES
- Eat food RAW whenenver is possible
- Eat foods as fresh as possible, and keep them cool and in the dark if you are not going to eat them immediately
- If cooking, use as little water as possible and keep the water for stock
- Do not overcook food
- Cooking in copper pans can destroy folic acid and vitamin C and E.

Why select vegetables grow in soil medium?
"Gaia Hypothesis" - All green plant are able to grow and reproduce using only the energy contained in the sunlight, together with water and a few essential minerals they obtain from solid substrate (mostly soil).

Why soil growth VEGETALBES taste tastier? 
The uptake of the soluble minerals from the soil for the plant to grow and the green plant gaseous waste product (oxygen) into the atmosphers, stores sugars and proteins in their tissue make the VEGETALBES taste sweeter. This natural growing process of the PESTICEDE FREE VEGETABLES are of superb QUALITY as the transfer of mineral from green plant to human body is a natural cycle. Unlike other growing method.

Spinach (Bayam)

Spinach (Bayam)

1. Amaranthaceae family.

2. Scientific name: Spinacia oleracea.

3. Grown year round and fresh greens

4. Local Production - By Generation Green

  Fresh Green/Red Chemically and Pesticide Free Spinach produce weekly



 
 Grow together - Green and Red Spinach
 
 Close up view - Ready to harvest


 Grow at Neo Tiew & Tampines Community Garden




Supplied to That Health Shop & Wang Yuen Fish Soup
 

5. Health benefits of Spinach

  • Many phyto-nutrients that have health promotional and disease prevention properties.
  • Very low in calories and fats (100 g of raw leaves provide just 23 calories). It contains a good amount of soluble dietary fiber. A sources recommended in cholesterol controlling and weight reduction programs!
  • Fresh 100 g of spinach contains about 25% of daily intake of iron; one of the richest among green leafy vegetables. Iron is an important trace element required by the body for red blood cell production and as a co-factor for oxidation-reduction enzyme, cytochrome-oxidase during the cellular metabolism.
  • Fresh leaves are rich source of several vital anti-oxidant vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin C, and flavonoid poly phenolic antioxidants such as lutein, zea-xanthin and beta-carotene. Together these compounds help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a healing role in aging and various disease processes.
  • Zea-xanthin, an important dietary carotenoid, is selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea in the eyes where it is thought to provide antioxidant and protective light-filtering functions. It thus helps protect from "age-related macular related macular disease" (ARMD), especially in the elderly.
  • In addition, vitamin A is required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin and is essential for normal eye-sight. Consumption of natural vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin A and flavonoids also known to help the body protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.
  • Spinach leaves are an excellent source of vitamin K. 100 g of fresh greens provides 402% of daily vitamin-K requirements. Vitamin K plays a vital role in strengthening the bone mass by promoting osteotrophic (bone building) activity in the bone. Additionally, it also has established role in patients with Alzheimer's disease by limiting neuronal damage in the brain.
  • This green leafy vegetable also contains good amounts of many B-complex vitamins such as vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine), thiamin (vitamin B-1), riboflavin, folates and niacin. Folates help prevent neural tube defects in the offspring.
  • 100 g of farm fresh spinach has 47% of daily recommended levels of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen-free radicals.
  • Its leaves also contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, magnesium, copper and zinc. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Manganese and copper are used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells. Zinc is a co-factor in many enzymes that regulate growth and development, sperm generation, digestion and nucleic acid synthesis.
  • It is also rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.
  Regular consumption of spinach in the diet helps prevent osteoporosis (weakness of bones), iron-deficiency anemia. Besides, it is believed to protect the body from cardiovascular diseases and cancers of colon and prostate.
 
6. Vitamin & Minerals
 
A. Iron
  Is a component of haemogoglobin, the red pigment in blood that transports oxygen to the cells and removes the waste product carbon dioxide.  

 
How it work?
  A vital component of red blood cells. It is also needed for the production and release of energy in body. Iron plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy immune systems and helps to destroy  invading micro-organism such as viruses and bacteria.
 
  Iron requirements are thought to double during pregnancy, because the mother produces more red blood cells to supply the growing foetus with oxygen and nourishment.
 
Deficiency symptoms
- Pale skin
- White or brittle fingernails
- Tiredness
- Sleeplessness
- Loss of appetite
- Itchiness
- Frequent illness
 
Main Functions:

How it works?
  Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant that destroys free radicals - molecules that damage healthy cells, speed up the aging process and can cause a number of serious disease to develop. Vitamin A promotes the growth of strong teeth and bones, and keeps skin healthy. In the eye, vitamin A is essential for the formation of visual purple, a pigment that lets us see in dim light.
 
  Vitamin A is well known immune system booster and helps the body to fight infection. It also plays an important role in wound healing.

Excessive amount of beta-carotene turn your skin yellow, but your color will return to normal if you reduce the dosage.
 
C. Vitamin C
  A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is also thought to boost immunity and fight a number of disease. It is water-soluble and quickly lost from your body, so a daily intake in vital.
 
How it works?
  Vitamin C is involved in a large number of biological processes, which is why it is essential for health. It is used to make collagen, the protein that make the skin, joints and bone strong. Vitamin C speed up wound healing, and help to form red blood cells and prevent bleeding. Your body's immune system relies on vitamin C to keep the disease fighting while blood cell active. Vitamin C also helps your body to absorb iron and folic acid effectively and turn food into energy. As one of the main anti oxidant, vitamin C helps to counteract the effect of free radicals, destructive chemicals that speed up the ageing process and cause cell damage.

  Bio Flavonoids occur naturally on plants and were once referred to as vitamin P. They help the fruits and vegetables their vivid colors.
 
Main Function
 Is to enhance the effects of Vitamin C and to protect capillaries tube, minutes blood vessels that allow the transfer of oxygen, water and other essential nutrients between the blood and the tissues. Some bio-flavonoid are powerful antioxidants; other reduce inflammation, bleeding and infection and speed up would healing. 

E. Potassium

  Body need potassium to work properly: it helps muscles to contract, is involved in nerve function, regulates the heartbeat, transfers nutrients to cell and, most important of all, control the amount of water in body cells.

How it work?
  Potassium allows nutrients to move into body cells and waste products to move out. It helps to control the production of the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels, and to maintain normal blood pressure.
