Tips on losing weight with Honey!

Firstly, you must bear in mind that honey is a natural sweetener, unlike high processed table sugar, high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners. So, it is better to use honey as replacement for the sugar or artificial sweetener you use in your drinks and foods. So, now you might be thinking: "How much honey can I consume on a daily basis?". Before we answer that, we want you to know that one basic principle of weight gain is this:

Anything excessive is not good, even honey. When you take in more than what your body needs, whether it's sugar, fat or honey, the extra calories are stored as fat.

Okay, back to answering that question. Honey is basically sugar, which is a form of carbohydrate or energy-giving food. Nevertheless, it is natural and contains goodness that high processed table sugar or white sugar doesn't have. If you didn't know it already, table sugar or white sugar only contain empty calories, compared to honey.

Fact #1: One tablespoon of honey has 64 calories, and one tablespoon of sugar has 46 calories. But we only need 1 tablespoon of honey to make something sweet as compared to processed sugar, where you need 2 tablespoons of it to make your drink/food sweet. So, you do the math. How much calories are you consuming when you take honey and how much if you use sugar. It's just that simple.

Fact #2: Raw honey, a natural sweetener, is not subject to heating or any form of processing. Comparatively, sugar that is derived from the sugar cane plant is highly processed, and during such processes, all naturally occurring trace minerals are removed from the sugar cane plant. The end result is processed sugar that is devoid of nutrition such as vitamins, minerals and important enzymes. All that is left after all that processing are empty calories. Whereas commercial pasturized honey only has one step of processing that will prevent crystallization and yeast fermentation during storage. That process is just heating.

Generally, 3 to 5 tablespoons of honey per day is sufficient.

But now you're going to ask, "How exactly does consuming honey make me lose weight?". There are at least a couple of tips we can share with you.

Tip #1: Mix honey with cinnamon.

- Put half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a teaspoon of honey in a cup and mix into a paste.

- Pour a cup of boiling water into the mixture and let it sit for half an hour. Don't forget to cover the cup.

- Stir and filter, using a coffee filter for example, to remove any particles.

- Take this in the morning with an empty stomach at least half an hour before breakfast.

Although it is not widely proven, some people have found that taking cinnamon with honey can help with weight loss as it improves metabolism and regulates sugar level, resulting in weight loss.

Tip #2: Take honey with lemon.

Taking honey with lemon as part of a detoxification process can aid in losing weight. Fasting on honey and lemon juice, an alkaline food, is highly beneficial in helping obese people lose weight, at the same time maintaining energy and appetite.

- Mix one teaspoon of raw honey (unheated) with the juice of two teaspoons of lime or lemon juice in a glass of warm water. Make sure that it is not boiling hot water.

- Drink this concoction once in the morning on an empty stomach.

- This concoction not only works as a detox tonic, it also works as a digestive tonic, so you can take it after a big and oily meal.

However, we want you to bear in mind that depending solely on these tips to lose weight is not enough. You need to have a balanced diet, and a well-regulated exercise regime would also help a lot in your aim to lose weight.

The Benefits of Black Soybean Tea

Black Soybeans

Hey, do you want to know the secret of maintaining your weight, at the same time ensuring that you remain healthy? The answer is Black Soybean Tea, or 'kuromame' tea. What makes drinking black soybean tea any different than, say, green tea? To be perfectly honest, green tea has been said to be the healthiest beverage in the world and its health benefits outweigh that of black soybean tea. Having said that, it's not that black soybean tea does not have any health benefits at all. In fact, some of them are similar to those of green tea, such as maintaining or losing weight, for example. Here are some of the benefits of black soybean tea.

Black soybean tea has long been used in Chinese medicine to clear toxins from the body and encourage urination. It has been linked to effective weight loss, at the same time providing a healthy diet.

You may ask, what are the nutrients in black soybean that help promote these benefits. For one, it contains polyphenols, which are compounds known for their anti-aging properties. A specific polyphenol contained in black soybean is anthocyanin, which has been shown to help promote lipid metabolism, lower cholesterol, act against aging and prevent cancer. A study of a group of mice that has been published in the Journal of Medicinal Food has indicated that anthocyanin inhibited fat absorption in the mice. Compared to the control group, the group of mice which had anthocyanin introduced into their diet had a higher amount of fat in their diet. There was no additional weight gain recorded for that group of mice after anthocyanin was introduced into their diet.

Another polyphenol found in black soybeans are isoflavones, which are a type of anti-oxidant. Isoflavones has been indicated to help fight certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer. They also promote lipid metabolism, a critical process in which your body fat is mobilized to be used as energy. Isoflavones also help control circulatory blood fats.

Introducing Yakuno Black Soybean Tea. The rare soybeans are grown in the Tamba region of Kyoto. To know more about their other benefits, read here.

4 tips on drinking coffee in a healthier way

Do you know that drinking too much coffee, which contains caffeine, can put a pressure on the stomach, kidneys, liver and andrenal glands? When the body is trying to get rid of the excess caffeine, it will also result in the excretion of vital vitamins and minerals. These are just some of the negative effects of drinking too much coffee. So, you should always bear in mind the adage: "Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing".

Luckily there are tips on how to drink coffee in a healthier way. Here are 4 of them:

1. Change to organically grown coffee

    Those that are grown the conventional way are exposed to too much pesticides. Choose coffee brands that have entered fairtrade practices with farmers who grow organic coffee.

2. Avoid flavoured coffees, and no sugar please.

    Flavoured coffees (Yeah, we know some of you love 'em), are full of artificial flavourings. So, we don't want that, do we? And on that note, try as much to put as little sugar as possible in your coffee.

3. Drink only ONE cup of coffee per day

    We know this is too much to ask for coffee lovers out there, but we're not asking you to cut down from drinking 10 cups of coffee per day to just 1 cup of coffee per day on the first day itself. Gradually cut down the number to eight for the first week, and six for the following week and so on. This enables you to wean off the need for that caffeine fix without shocking your system. The ideal amount of coffee that your liver can handle is eight ounces per day. That's doable, right?

4. Just ENJOY that one cup of coffee.

    Why should you be made to feel guilty about the simple pleasures of life, which includes drinking coffee? Just make sure that it is organic, ground-at-home coffee. After all, stressing about drinking coffee will only add unnecessary stress on yourself, and stress is a major factor in depleting the nutrients out of your body. So, just ENJOY your cup of coffee. Remember, MODERATION IS KEY.

What must you know about liver & gallbladder damage?

Image credit: wasabi.org

Most of us take for granted the importance of vital organs such as the liver, but do you know what the liver does? Its No. 1 function is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, after which the blood will be passed to the rest of the body. The chemicals that we consume can turn into toxins, therefore it is the liver's job to detoxify. Apart from metabolizing drugs, the liver also makes proteins that are important for the clotting of blood. These are just the main tasks of the liver, so can you imagine the worst things that can happen to your liver?

- Hepatitis: Inflammation of the liver, usually caused by viruses like Hepatitis A, B & C. Hepatitis can have non-infectious causes, too, including drugs, heavy drinking, obesity or allergic reactions.

- Cirrhosis: is a permanent scarring of the liver that is caused by long-term damage to liver, thus rendering it not to function as well as it could. 

- Liver cancer: Almost always after cirrhosis is present, the most common type of liver cancer can occur as well.

- Liver failure: Excessive alcohol, genetic diseases and infection are some of the causes of liver failure.

- Ascites: Fluid (ascites) can be leaked from the liver into the belly, causing it to become distended and heavy. The reason for such leakage is due to cirrhosis.

- Hemochromatosis: The liver can be damaged due to this condition where it allows for iron to be deposited in the liver and in other parts of the body, causing multiple other health problems. 

- Primary sclerosing cholangitis: This causes inflammation and scarring of the liver's bile ducts. but this is a rare disease with unknown causes. 

- Primary biliary cirrhosis: In this rare disorder, the liver's bile ducts are slowly destroyed but the process of the destruction is yet unclear. Eventually cirrhosis develops as a result. 

And what about the gallbladder? If the gallbladder is removed from an otherwise healthy individual, there is no observable problems with health or digestion, but there is a small risk of diarrhea and fat malabsorption. The gallbladder's main function is to store bile produced by the liver. The bile is removed from the body through ducts that are connected from the gallbladder to the small intestines. The function of bile is to digest fats, but otherwise the gallbladder is not essential, giving rise to the above situation. Nevertheless, there are worst case scenarios involving the gallbladder.

- Gallstones: are formed in the gallbladder when substances in bile crystallize. The reason for such crystallization is yet unclear. Gallstones can cause pain, nausea and inflammation, but otherwise they are common and usually harmless. As mentioned, a gallstone in the gallbladder can lead to inflammation and this condition is known as:

- Cholecystitis: This condition causes severe pain and fever, and can require surgery when inflammation continues or recurs. 

- Gallbladder cancer: The gallbladder can be affected by cancer, though such an occurrence is rare. Symptoms, which may only be detected in the late stages, resemble those of gallstones.

- Gallstone pancreatitis: The ducts that drain the pancreas can be blocked by an impacted gallstone, resulting in an inflammation of the pancreas.

Mothers, lactose intolerance is a lot of bother, don't you think?

                                                       Image credit: keralaayurveda.biz

Lactose intolerance happens when adults and children are lacking in an enzyme called lactase, which breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products, into glucose and galactose. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include:

- abdominal bloating and cramps

- diarrhea

- flatulence

- borborygmi (rumbling stomach)

- vomiting

- nausea.

For all you mothers out there, you must be concerned when your child exhibits at least one of these symptoms, and a sure way to find out whether he/she is lactose intolerant is a visit to the doctor's. At the same time, you want to make sure that your child is getting all the protein that he/she needs and a good source of protein is milk. But there are other sources of proteins that include meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts and seeds. However, some children display allergies to nuts and soy, while meat, poultry and seafood may be too heavy for infants and children not above 3 years old.

Introducing—Dale & Cecil's MIWA Milk. For one, it uses Pea Protein. It is also a source of Galacto-Oligosaccharide, which is a type of prebiotic – non-digestible food ingredient that affects the host in a beneficial way by stimulating the activity of good bacteria in the colon.

Men Facts: Andropause could ruin your "Happy Life"

Gentlemen, have you heard of "ANDROPAUSE"? Or how would it affect you as a man? Well, just read on...

Andropause is the result of testosterone (an androgen) deficiency. Men who have low levels of testosterone would experience changes like:

- Obesity

- Muscle mass loss

- Mental lethargy

- Mood disturbance

- Loss of concentration

- Oh no...reduced sexual response

Back in 2012 in Malaysia, 76 men joined a clinical study, it's staggering that only 35% of them had normal testosterone levels. However, the percentage rebounded to 90% right after they consumed Tongkat Ali supplements for 1 month. This study was published in the May 2012 edition of Andrologia.

Furthermore, 75 men who consumed Tongkat Ali supplements daily were found to have significant improvements in sperm quality and were shown to last for months after the initial study—15% of them reported to have new pregnancies. It's another study published in the May 2010 issue of Asian Journal of Andrology.

So what is Tongkat Ali?

Its scientific name, Eurycoma Longifolia, has long enjoyed its use in traditional medicine, particularly in the South East Asian countries like Malaysia. It is a therapeutic herb native to the Malaysian rain forests. Among its uses are to increase the male libido and support normal hormone levels.

Don't forget, it's always better to try out natural treatment before resorting to a surgical one. What about trying this out now?

Menstrual cramps: 5 foods and drinks to take & avoid

At least 40% to 70% of women have experienced some kind of menstruation pain that includes painful abdomens, backs and breasts. Foods that are natural, fresh fruits and vegetables, low in sugar, nuts and seeds, and healthy whole grains are able to lower incidents of cramps and PMS. The percentage of nutrition needed to fight cramps and PMS is 80%.

Below are the 5 foods and drinks to take that can help ease cramps:

1. Salmon - It is rich in Omega-3 and therefore able to fight inflammation

3. To help combat fluid retention during your period, eat celery.
4. Drinking 2-3 litres of water during that your time of the month will help ease the cramping or bloating.
5. Green tea is able to ease cramps. Decaffeinated green tea works wonders, but some health benefits of green tea will be lost if you take the decaf version.

5 foods and drinks to avoid prior to and during menstruation:

1. Although calcium from herbs such as fresh dill or from leafy green vegetables such as kale and spinach is beneficial to getting rid of cramps, calcium from dairy products such as milk and cheeses should be avoided as they can trigger cramps.
2. Foods high in sugar should also be avoided as they can cause cramps.
3. Another food to avoid is red meat, which is known to cause stomach upsets and cramps.
4. Avoid drinking coffee or any drinks that are high in caffeine as they can raise your levels of tension and anxiety.
5. Anything that can damage the liver should be avoided, and this includes alcohol.

Brand Street: Halo Pet Products - Instructions on how to use Halo shampoo's for pets

Dinasou Online Supermart would like to talk more about one of our Brand Street products, which is a range of pet care products from Singapore called HALO Pet Products. But, for this post, our talk will be educational as we want to teach you how to clean your beloved pets with HALO's range of pet shampoo's.

Step 1 - Prewash
Brush your pet's coat thoroughly to remove any tangles, loose hair, debris or dead hair. This is an ideal time to inspect the skin condition of your pets for fleas and ticks problems. Start from the hind leg and brush upward. Brush the entire coat against the natural direction of the coat. After all tangles have been removed, brush the coat in its natural direction.

Pour HALO Ear Care directly into the ear canal. Massage lightly to soften the debris, and use cotton balls to clean the ears.

Step 2 - Wash
Use lukewarm water to wet entire body, starting from hind legs to front part of body. Pay special attention to ensure that water does not enter eyes, nose or ears.

Pour HALO Holistic Care or Sensitive Care shampoo onto your palm and work it into a thick lather. Massage shampoo starting from hind legs and working up and front-wards. Keep ears down. Add water to increase lather if necessary.

Rinse and repeat the shampooing process. It is important to note that two applications of shampoo are always more effective than one. First application is to loosen the dirt, residue and oils; the second application completes the process and allows the shampoo ingredients to more effectively treat the skin and coat.

Rinsing well is a very important  process as it not only removes dead skin, debris and oil but also shampoo residue to ensure that the entire body is rinsed clear of shampoo. Your pet might suffer an allergic reaction if there is any shampoo residue. Brush out the fur during the rinsing to help remove any excess, especially if your pet is shedding.

Apply HALO conditioner for pet if necessary, then rinse, rinse, rinse!

Step 3 - Blow Dry
Squeeze out the water and dry your pet by placing a high absorbent towel on its coat. Do not rub the towel up and down the coat as it may cause fur to tangle. Start at the head and end at the paws.

Finally, use a hair dryer or blower to dry your pet, brushing and drying at the same time. Ensure that your pet is completely dry before letting it out.

Dinasou.com hopes that the above steps will be more than just educational for the grooming of your pet. It goes to show that taking care of a pet is a lot of responsibility and that a pet is not just a play thing. You have to care for their health and well-being, and that includes cleaning them as well. To know more about HALO's range of products, click here.

The definition of 'snack'

What's the definition of 'snack'? If you just Google "definition of snack", you will find that it means a small amount of food eaten between meals. But what does this small amount of food consist of? Nowadays, people associate the word 'snack' with packets of potato chips or corn-based snacks under brands such as Twisties, Chacho's and Cheezels.

But, at Dinasou.com, where you can Shop, Earn & Save and Buy Anywhere With One Click, we sell other types of snacks, too. For one, we've included papadams as part of our range of snacks. Normally, Malaysians have papadams with nasi kandar, right? But, papadams on their own taste as good, if not better, so why not make it a snack? We also sells snacks that are not conventional snacks. One of them is Buah Mo Far Kor. This snack is like an asam - sour and salty at the same time. We know a lot of Malaysians love this kind of snack. But, there's more to Buah Mo Far Kor. It can alleviate sore throat, help curb the problem of bad breath and is also good for those who suffer from motion sickness.

Noodles, another staple Asian food

In Malaysia, we have dried noodles and wet noodles, and the focus of this post is wet noodles. At Dinasou Online Supermart, we sell a variety of wet noodles, namely Char Kuey Teow, Ho Fun, Wheat Noodles, or mee kuning, mee nipis and Hokkien mee, and Rice Noodles, or laksa.
