Wanna get whipped? ;) ... Here's the lowdown on Whipped Cream

1. It's also known as Chantilly cream or crème Chantilly

2. Whipped cream became popular as far back as the 16th century in Europe. Back then , it was called 'milk snow', or neve di latte in Italian and neige de lait in French. 

3. From the 16th century until the end of the 19th century, whipped cream was whipped using using willow or rush branches, resulting in a process that took more than one hour. 

4. Imitation whipped cream does not have any dairy ingredients and is often sold under the name whipped topping or squirty cream.

5. Guess what?! Whipped cream is a popular topping for most desserts.

The last info is a shocker, isn't it? What's also shocking that Dinasou.com only sells one brand on whipped cream. Hey, but at least we sell whipped cream.

Are soft drinks really bad for you?

Now, a lot of debate has taken place over this subject matter. We want to provide as much as an objective viewpoint on the matter as possible. After all, we're kind of on the side of the soft drink manufacturers, since we sell soft drinks on our online store. At the same time, we want our Dina-fans to have all the facts so that they can make well-informed decisions on whether or not to consume soft drinks or cut them out completely out of their diet. 

The debate, according to what we have read on webmd.com, has been ongoing, with no real conclusion as to whether soft drinks do more harm than good to your health. 

On the side of the team against soft drinks, Michael Jacobson, the executive director of the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest, sugary soft drinks are the biggest single source of empty calories in the American diet. He adds that in the typical American diet, the percentage of calories that come from refined sugar accounted for 16% of all calorie intake, and that 50% of that 16% come from beverages with added sugar. 

On the side of the team for soft drinks, the American Beverage Association says that "the vast majority of studies supporting a soda-obesity link were done by researchers with strong anti-soda biases and that many of these biased or poorly done studies are covered by news media, while studies showing no link don't get the same attention."

Somewhere in the middle, Rachel K. Johnson, a spokesperson for the American Heart Association (AHA), served as a panel member of the AHA in 2009 in which the panel recommended that added sugars be limited in beverages, including soft drinks. Johnson believes that there has been no misrepresentation or over-reporting on the science that connects soft drinks to obesity and other health issues. Johnson concludes that by limiting added sugars in drinks is an important step in the right direction. 

So, what do you think? As we like to believe, moderation is key to most things, especially when it comes to food. But then, it also boils down to common sense. If you don't exercise, lead a sedentary lifestyle and have a sweet tooth, maybe you should consider not having one too many soft drinks. Otherwise, if you lead a very active lifestyle and want to treat yourself to the occasional soft drink or ice-blended drink, then please go ahead and do so. Only you have the power to choose what is good for your body and health.

Anyway, we at Dinasou.com wouldn't be doing our job if you don't inform you that we sell a variety of soft drinks. Check out some of them below.

Dinasou 1st Anniversary ... A look down Memory Lane

Oh my goodness! Dinasou.com has turned ONE! Exactly 1 year ago today, we were launched. Since then, it's been a pretty good ride. Our list of Brand Street merchants has gotten longer, and we have managed to get by with our grocery sales. If you have been checking our News Content on our website, you will see that we've done a lot of sales and promotions. 

But Dinasou.com is more than just about sales and promotions. We just don't aim to be one of those run-of-the-mill e-commerce start-ups. Our goal is just not to promise our customers to SHOP, EARN & SAVE at Dinasou.com. We also aim to provide e-digital marketing services to prospective merchants. They not only sell their products on out platform, but also get a host of e-digital services provided by us to boost their online presence.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures taken one year ago. Walking down on Memory Lane *Dinasou Mascot has a wistful look* ...

Essence of Snakehead Fish: The Benefits

According to a paper published in the International Journal of Science and Technology in June 2012, it was shown that in Indonesia, patients with hypoalbuminaemia, a condition where blood levels of albumin are abnormally low, accounted for 45%-50% of post-operative patients. The administration of albumin in the form of Human Serum Albumin proved to be expensive. These patients were then administered with albumin derived from snakehead fish extract (channa striata), which was less expensive compared to  HSA, and exhibited significant levels of albumin to treat hypoalbuminaemia. The administration of albumin derived from snakehead fish extract also accelerated their post-operative wound healing. The paper also states that extract of snakehead fish contains an abundance of albumin accounting for 64.61% of protein. Patients with hypoalbuminaemia, post-surgical patients and growing children would benefit greatly from consuming snakehead fish extract due to its high content of albumin.

Some amino acids and fatty acids in snakehead fish extract play an important part in the synthesis of collagen fibers, which aid the wound healing process. Thus, the administration of snakehead fish extract for post-surgical patients expedites the process of tissue formation. Among others, albumin also functions as an anti-oxidant, which helps slow down the aging process.

The zinc content in snakehead fish extract is relatively higher compared to other sources, such as tuna, chicken egg and duck egg. The content of zinc in snakehead fish extract is 3.34mg/100gm. Comparatively, tuna only contains 1.6mg of zinc per 100gm, chicken egg 1.5gm of zinc per 100gm and duck egg 1.8gm of zinc per 100gm. Zinc plays an important role in protein synthesis and multiplication of cells, thus it accelerates the healing process of surgical wounds.

Combined with ginseng, ginger and sea cucumber, each with their own set of health properties, snakehead fish extract can be a potent source of traditional medicine.To find out more about its health benefits, read up on the following products under the brand Maspati, which are sold on Brand Street.

Bird's Nest & Cordyceps: What's good about them?

The Chinese are especially known to use bird's nest & cordyceps as traditional medicine/health supplements. But, do you know what constitutes these two types of supplements and whether they are actually good for your health?

According to livescience.com, citing an article published in the October 2012 issue of the journal Food Research International, two Chinese researchers—Fucui Ma and Daicheng Liu of Shandong Normal University—found that there was still not much scientific research on the medicinal properties of bird's nest. 

But the two researchers also found that the most abundant constituent of bird's nest is protein. Essential amino acids make up the building blocks of proteins. The researchers also found that bird's nest consists of 6 hormones, including estradiol and testosterone. Other elements that the researchers discovered in bird's nest include carbohydrates, ash and a small quantity of lipids. 

Nevertheless, the researchers noted that the Chinese consider bird's nest to have a high medicinal and nutritional value since they have prepared bird's nest as soup in the last 1,200 years. The Chinese believe that bird's nest's medicinal and nutritional value range from anti-cancer properties and anti-aging to raising the libido and improving concentration. 

The research also provided a caveat: Bird's nests are known to cause a life-threatening allergic reaction, which in medical term is known as anaphylaxis. 

Moving on to cordyceps. According to organicfacts.net, cordyceps have a long list of health benefits, as listed below:

1) Relieves asthma and chronic bronchitis

2) Helps avert arrhythmia & heart disorders

3) Lowers the risk of cancer

4) Impedes respiratory distress & weakness

5) Detoxifies body & boosts kidney health

6) Regulates body's cholesterol levels

7) Cuts down on age spots & reinvigorates skin

8) Improves immune system & energy level

9) Helps to lessen sexual dysfunction

Just another caveat: Blood sugar levels can be lowered a bit with the intake of cordyceps, and this is important to know for diabetics. Cordyceps is a blood thinner. So, it should not be consume by people who are about to undergo surgery, or those suffering from bleeding disorders.

To sum up, while bird's nests medicinal and/or nutritional qualities are still being investigated, they have been used for more than a thousand years for such qualities that they possess. Cordyceps, on the other hand, have proven health benefits. 

On Brand Street, Dinasou.com sells these two supplements under the brand Yanda. Find out more here.

What Wikipedia can't tell you about alcohol

1) Do you know that the cafeteria of many high schools in Europe give out alcoholic drinks to teenagers and that itself is pretty much a common scenario. Even most McDonalds throughout Europe put alcoholic beverages on their menu. On the contrary, the strictest laws on teenage drinking in Western civilization can be found in the US.

2) You need approximately 600 grapes on hand to make a bottle of wine.

3) There are an estimated 49 million bubbles in a bottle of Champagne.

4) An interesting fact about alcohol is that you can find minerals in alcohol. What's more interesting is that all minerals essential to human life can be found in alcohol. How many? 13.

5) Have you heard of the phrase "Mind your P's and Q's"? Have you always wondered what the P & Q stand for? Well, according to one theory, alcohol is served in pints and quarts at pubs in England. Well, Wikipedia will tell you that in the 17th century, bartenders would ask patrons to mind their pints and quarts and would watch their alcohol consumption on how much pints and quarts they have drunk. What Wikipedia doesn't tell you that another reason why the patrons were asked to be mindful of their pints and quarts was that if they imbibed too much, they would become unruly. Anyway, this is just one theory on what P's and Q's stand for. Wikipedia has several others, but you can look that up yourself, right?

6) How about the word 'honeymoon'? Do you know that it has its origin in an alcoholic drink called mead? Back in ancient Babylon, it was customary for the soon-to-be son-in-law to receive a month's supply of mead from his soon-to-be father-in-law. Hence, the term 'honey month' came to be, and gradually it became honeymoon.

7) Have you watched Vikings on the History Channel? Well, they were a pretty mean lot, weren't they? Do you know how they celebrated their victories? They took the skulls of their defeated enemies and fill those with their favourite alcoholic drinks, from which they toasted and drunk to their victories. Pretty gruesome, huh?

8) You've watched Sex & The City, haven't you? Well, if you haven't, it can only mean two things: You're a straight guy who doesn't like such shows, or you're an idiot. Of course you're not an idiot, we're just having fun with you. After all, this is all about alcohol, and alcohol is supposed to be fun, right? ;) ... Anyways, the girls in Sex & The City enjoy a cocktail called Manhattan. Can you guess the inventor of this cocktail. You wouldn't believe it, but it's Winston Churchill's mother! Of all people ... In case you're wondering what Manhattan comprises of, it's made with whiskey and sweet vermouth.

9) You've heard of Ferdinand Magellan, right? If you haven't, then sadly you're not into history. Magellan, who famously circumnavigated the world, loved his Sherry so much that he spent more money stockpiling the drink than he did with ammunition. If you decided to look up Magellan on Wikipedia, you will find that Magellan was killed in the Philippines in 1521 during the Battle of Mactan. One would have wondered what if he had spent all his money on ammunition instead of Sherry. He could have lived to tell the tale and the course of history would have changed. Just think about it.

10) For the last and final fact, the production of alcohol has been traced back at least 12,000 years. Wikipedia seems to back this up, by stating that between 10,000 BC and  5,000 BC, which is roughly the period of the late Stone age, people discovered jugs made during that period which led them to believe that intentionally fermented beverages existed at least as early as the Neolithic period.

Ladies, you can make your own face mask ... 7 Best Foods!

For all the ladies out there, we bet there isn't a single one who does not care about the condition of her skin, especially her face. Our face reflects our outer beauty, though of course inner beauty is also important and shines through in the form of a confident smile, for example. But, it's safe to say that most, if not all of us, care deeply about how we look like to others, men and women notwithstanding. So, a lot of us will look for all sorts of solutions to have perfect-looking facial skin. This includes trips to the beauty spa and shopping for the latest skin care products that promise us we will look beautiful and ageless. But, do you know that the solution to perfect skin can be found in your home, specifically in the kitchen? That's right, gals. Here are the 7 Best Foods to make your own face mask:

    Take a ripe avocado and cut it in half. Use the half avocado by mixing it with a teaspoon of olive oil. Apply the paste to your face and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off. Your face should feel firmer, softer and more radiant. Avocados are rich in vitamin A and anti-oxidants, therefore it's good for your skin.

2. Oatmeal

Apply generously to your face and rinse off after about 10 minutes. Oats are good for dry and irritated skin as it acts as an anti-inflammatory. It also acts as a natural and gentle exfoliant.

4. Olive Oil

    If you recall, you can mix olive oil with avocado to make a good face mask. But, you ought to know that olive oil on its own is also beneficial as a facial oil. It also works as an eye make-up remover, moisturizer and hair conditioner. Olive oil can also be used to treat sunburns. 

5. Strawberries

    Strawberries are delicious, especially the ripe and sweet ones. They're also good as a facial mask. For brighter, tighter and and super soft skin, mash up some strawberries and lather the mix on your face. The benefits: cleanses your skin and treats acne, even pigmentation. 

6. Honey

    Honey is a natural food with so much goodness. In a previous post, we talked about how we can use honey to lose weight. Here we'll talk about how it can be used as a facial mask. On its own, honey acts as a moisturizing and anti-bacterial face mask. If you suffer from acne, take a little honey and apply it to the affected area. Honey also heals burns and cuts. 

7. Bananas

    Mash up a ripe banana. After applying it to your face, wait 10 – 20 minutes before rinsing it off. Bananas are rich in vitamins A & E, so using it on your face will leave it feeling soft, smooth and nourished.

Taken from Flickr.com

Hey, that time of the month is really a pain in the a$$, right, ladies? Want to try out something safe and has no side effects? Try out the herbs below, which you can get at any Chinese herbal shops. 

1. Dong Gui (Chinese Angelica or Angelica Sinensis)

    This herb is used to regulate the menstrual cycle and help alleviate menstrual cramps. It has been dubbed as the "female ginseng" due to such abilities. Other benefits of Dong Gui include re-establishing a menstrual cycle after a user stops taking birth control pills; ease PMS and help improve on conditions of anemia; and relieve symptoms of menopause. It is able to alleviate menstrual cramping by relaxing the muscles of the uterus and dilating the blood vessels, due to the coumarin chemicals present in the herb. 

2. Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma)

    Since the Song Dynasty, Chinese women have used to take this herb in combination with three other herbs: Chinese foxglove, red peony and angelica. Chuan Xiong is combined with these three herbs to make soup as a blood tonic to alleviate PMS, cut down on menstrual pain and improve overall health, especially postpartum health. 

3. Bai Shao (White Peony Root)

    Among its benefits is blood circulation improvement and nourishment. It also inhibits the excessive synthesis of prostaglandins that may lead to an over-active uterus and endometrial pain. The inhibition of prostaglandins is due to the fact that Bai Shao can strengthen the liver, in turn increases the efficiency of protein and fat metabolism, resulting in the inhibition of excessive prostaglandins.

Enzymes: Why do we need them?

Enzyme repairing DNA

We need enzymes for healthy digestion, as without them, we wouldn't be able to swallow, eat, drink and digest our food. Enzymes, which are complex protein molecules manufactured by all plant and animal cells, are very important because they break up large food molecules into smaller units that are absorbed into the cells. Apart from helping the body digest food, enzymes assimilate nutrients assimilate nutrients carbohydrates, proteins, fats and plant fibers. Other functions of enzymes include the regeneration of cells/tissues, the elimination of waste products/toxins and supporting the immune system.

The supplementation of enzymes in our body can help do many things, among which are:

– improves overall digestion

– enhances the immune system

– reduces the effects of aging, wrinkles and sun spots

– reduces inflammation/soreness of muscle and joint pain

– accelerates post-surgical healing

– cleanses our systems from allergic reactions

– aids in reproduction problems, regulating cycles, infertility and sterility

– helps in disease prevention, such as heart disease

– minimizes the effects of cancer therapies

Beets are a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains. The two best-studied betalains from beets are betanin and vulgaxanthin, both of which have been shown to provide anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxification support.

Tomato enzymes also provide anti-oxidant support. In addition, they also aid digestion, support better bowel function and prevent malabsorption disorders such as gluten intolerance.

Why are we talking about beetroot enzyme and tomato enzyme? Because they packed in one of our Brand Street items, Pure Natural Enzyme.

The Benefits of Vinegar

A range of vinegars at a stall

Hmm, when the word 'vinegar' comes to mind, the sensation you feel on your tongue is this overpowering sense of sourness, are we right? Well, despite the sourness, vinegar is actually good for you.

According to doctoroz.com, vinegars contain anti-oxidants, which lower the risk of cancer and allay premature aging, among others. According to the same site, vinegar also boosts blood sugar levels. Based on a study done in 2004, people who were insulin resistant or had type 2 diabetes had improved insulin sensitivity when they consumed apple cider vinegar before a high-carbohydrate meal. An improvement in insulin sensitivity simply means that the rate of blood sugar levels rising after such a meal could be slowed down.

Another study conducted in 2010 showed that consuming balsamic vinegar protects the health of your heart. What that type of vinegar does is actually restrict the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is believed to lead to atherosclerosis. What is atherosclerosis, you ask? It is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries, leading to blocked blood flow and eventually a heart attack or stroke.

According to a 2014 research, vinegar's ingredient—acetic acid—acts as a non-toxic disinfectant against drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria. Acetic acid decreases the pH of the tissue lining the throat, thus curbing bacteria from growing on its surface. This antibacterial property can help fight the infection behind a sore throat.

As they are a rich source of polyphenols, vinegars can help cut down the risk of cancer. This is based on a research conducted in 2006 where it was found that consuming polyphenols improves antioxidant protection and lessens the risk of cancer.

Lastly, vinegar can help you lose weight, if you use it as a dressing for your salads instead of the usual commercial salad dressing.

A word of caution, though. The enamel on your teeth can be eroded over time if you overconsume vinegar and not rinse out your mouth.

On Brand Street, we sell a line of vinegars under the brand Taijun. To know more, click here.
