Vitamin C Bomb ''Rose hip tea''

I have some herbal tea recipe that helps  prevent  skin pigmentation.
One of the most efficient tea is a rose hip  tea.

One of the most common causes of   pigmentation is UV rays.
For me, this tea is necessary because I  easily get   exposed strong sunshine here in SIngapore.
I also  recommend this tea for those suffering  from annoying  skin pigmentation.

It helps a lot to avoid annoying pigmentation.
not only in preventing new pigmentaion but also in gently removing old ones  .
I  try to take this tea before and after  engaging in outdoor activities.

Rosehip tea is called '' vitamin C bomb'' because it is rich in vitamin C.

Here are the amazing benefits of Rose hip tea.

・It has 20 times more  vitamin C than lemon , not only avoids pigmentation but also regenerates collagen in your skin.

・It is rich in antioxidant that help slow down aging process  .

・Helps to reduce fatigue.

・ Refreshing .

・Boosts immune system .

・regulates  skin turn over because of β-carotene.

・Contains Iron that helps  brighten sallow and  dull skin .

The Juice of the day [carrot , apple and lemon ] 1st Aug 2014

I often make carrot fresh juice for breakfast.

Carrot is rich in Beta-carotene whicih is an antioxidant agent and another source of nutrition.

Here is  why you should take carrot  frequently ......


1 It helps  to skin turn over(exfoliate ) of your skin which make it smooth and supple,
   because carrots are  rich in  retinol which is  part of beta-carotene.

2  It Prevents  black spot and brown patches on the skin because of rich in  anti-oxidant .

3  Good for constipation because carrots are  rich in  fiber.

                                               

                                         For this morning ,I blended carrot with apple and lemon.

Eating a Better Bitter Gourd !!

Bitter gourd is well known to be good for health and beauty.

It is rich in Vitamin C which is an anti-oxidant agent that prevents black spot.

Vitamin C usually diminishes in food in the process of cooking but  in bitter gourd ,  it does not easily disappear even when exposed to heat while cooking.

Also bitter gourd can help us refresh our body , so it is very good during summer and is surely a necessity for those who live in tropical countries all year round. 

I usually like my bitter gourd stir-fried  but recently my friend told me her recipe which she invented together with her husband !

By using plenty of tomatoes and onions , the bitterness will become milder and it will be more delicious .

She uses oyster sauce and soy sauce, but I prefer to use black beans and red chili bean sauces.

Enjoy your bitter gourd dishes and get a beautiful skin !!

here is recipe

cut tomatoes 

cut bitter gourd

cut mushrooms

fry with sesame oils

add 

black beans source  

red chili beans source( tou ban jan)

soy source

Wiser Choice than PotatoChips

 FIFA WORLD CUP  is being held in Brazil now!
Are you a big fun of football? Actually,I'm not .
But my son is a huge fan of football and he has been watching games all  day since FIFA started.
He sometimes wants to eat potato chips while watching the games .

Now I have a good suggestion for those who want to have some snacks while  watching TV.
Do you feel guilty after eating oily potato chips?   or  Have you  ever  felt '' oh I did it again, but I can't resist it''??

Here is a much wiser and healthier option for couch potatoes !
The answer is  POP CORN.

Pop corn is a whole grain food and it contains more of the antioxidant substances like polyphenols than fruits and vegetables.  
Also Its calorie  is much lower than other snacks such as potato chips and you won't feel sick after eating it. Sometimes I feel sick after eating snacks because of their oxidized oiliness .
Because of great benefit ,It seemed that POP QUEEN MADONNA did popcorn diet and she succeeded .
Now popcorn is more than just a traditional snack while waching movie.
I belieave that healthy popcorn should be home-made.

How to make it is very simple and easy.
you just fry popcorn with small amount of olive oils , and just add salt and pepper .
Than's all!

   

I made popcorn for my son this morning.
maple syrup and agave syrup could be tasty
aside from salt and pepper.

It's really fun to see that popcorns are dancing in the pan!

you can find organic popcorn at natural shop!
I bought this popcorn at brown rice paradise at Tanglin Mall.

Why enzyme is necessary for beautiful skin

I make fruits enzyme drinks by myself and take it  at least once a twice or a
 day .
ever since I've drunk home made enzyme drinks, I feel more energetic and my skin has improved  espesially  when it comes to   annoying pores on the cheek which are caused by sagging skin .
my husband's skin has  also improved , now he got back his firm and elastic skin.

Acutually, we have been already drinking  ready-made enzyme drinks for  a several years ,
but I feel that home-made enzyme drinks are much more efficient for our health and beauty.


Let me explain How enzyme drinks improve your skin .


enzymes are live agents which  are responsible for the  metabolic system in our body.
It's really necessary and important.
because without enzyme , our body  can not function well .

the more enzymes you get, the more your body function system works.
if your body function system works well , that also means  you can produce a healthy and beautiful skin by yourself.

 It is for this reason that I take as much raw food as I can. because  raw food is rich in enzyme.

I definately say that   healthy  skin can only be made by  a healthy body.
Don't miss the point as it 's essensial  for your beauty.

anyway

Let me introduce the benefits of enzyme drinks.

・boost  your immune system

・produce beauty skin

・detoxifying your body

・improving intestinal environment

・helping to lose weight

・less tired, feel more energetic


　and more ...！！


This amazing  effectiveness is caused by well-functioned  metabolic system of our body .
taking enzyme drinks can  improve  your body function.

once you take part intake enzyme drink, you can see a lot of benefits from the drinks.

on my next blog, I'll introduce how to make fruits home-made enzyme drinks.

see you soon!

I make enzyme drink 2 to 3 times a month.
for this time, I made the drinks with mango,
blueberry, kiwi,mandarin.
It smells nice and fresh!!

I like to have this drinks with sparkling water , lime juice and fresh mint leaves.
it's so refreshing!!

BLACK SESAME It's good for hair loss!!!

Hair loss annoyed me for more than  2 years .
I felt that I already lost one thirds of my hair since I came to Singapore!!
I guess that the quality of water and this hot weather might have caused this hair loss.

but now I don't have to worry about that anymore because
lately I have been taking black sesame paste every morning with honey.
since I has started to take black sesame paste with honey, my excessive  hair loss seemed to stop and I regained my shiny black hair again.
 I also started to use water purifier for shower , it is also effective in preventing hair loss .

You might be wondering , why would  black sesame work for hair loss ?
Well , let me try to explain. It links to the traditional chinese medicine (TCM).
In TCM ,  we consider that every thing in this whole world is made up of 5 elements :wood, fire, earth ,metal and water.
The human body system also have the 5 elements  .

Each element has an organ and path way (meridian)  linked to each other.
the water element  is linked to the kidney and its corresponding path way.
Black sesame  can  help in nourishing the  kidney .
Keeping the kidney in top shape is related to the health of hair,
that's why nourishing the kidney will improve hair growth and hair color ( if you are annoyed by grey hair )

Please forgive my simple explanation ,  it's quite tough to talk about TCM system in my mother tongue which is Japanese but it is tougher to expound on the topic using English.
If you are interested in the TCM system, you may search on the internet.

All I can say is that black sesame paste  is certainly good in combatting hair loss  and don't forget the honey ,too .
just try it and get the shiny, beautiful hair that all women dream of.

　

you can get black sesame at organic store
here singapore, I usually go
