Why do many Chinese people anemia
Westwood Dr.

One of the richest village in China – Jiangsu Taicang Venus Village, more than 60% of people in recent years, anemia (mainly iron-deficiency anemia), while China’s average incidence rate of anemia in about 20%, significantly higher than the West.

Taicang, China’s hundred counties, Venus Village is in Taicang, Fu Yucun. Why do people’s lives richer and more barren iron in the blood do?

Nishiki tell you that the diet leading to nutritional deficiencies wrong!

Over the past 20 years, the Venus person’s income more than doubled 10 times. With the increase in income and the “experts” advocate, Venus, were replaced with seafood, animal foods, white meat to replace the red meat, vegetarian and many people use to replace the meat, flour and rice to replace the coarse grains, and eating is getting smaller. The iron contained in the main coarse grains, nuts and red meat in, and red meat in iron most easily absorbed (who itself is composed of red meat), vegetarians can only absorb about 10% of food iron (need 3 -valent iron reduction for the two-valent iron).

60 about the human body iron distribution in the blood, iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, and make it red. Iron is the carrier of oxygen, lack of iron become starved for oxygen. Therefore, iron deficiency will be pale, dizziness, weakness.

Among the many “experts” and the media, advocacy, it is generally considered healthy vegetarian food than meat, because meat contains fat and cholesterol; should be eating less “red meat” and eat “white meat” because poultry fish kind of “white meat” than livestock such “red meat” contains less saturated fat.

However, the meat is the most complete nutrition, food, our ancestors ate millions of years. Saturated and unsaturated fat content is relative, almost all natural fat foods also contain the two, even if the red meat such as pork fat in half is not saturated.

Second, the white meat of course, contained in unsaturated fat than red meat more, but in the current high-temperature cooking such as frying, microwave environment, after the oxidation of unsaturated fats and toxins produced by free radicals, easily reduce its nutritional value. Red meat contains saturated fat more, but less susceptible to oxidative destruction of its stability, so cooking red meat will produce less free radicals and toxins.

In addition, in modern large-scale farms crowded sheds, Yashe to feed farmed chickens and ducks, the prevalence of less movement, less nutrition, more toxic characteristics, it has also become a factor in avian influenza occurred. The cattle and sheep are more ways to take the stocking, with the sun more, exercise more, less toxic characteristics of the nutritional quality of the slightly better than the white meat.

More importantly, the human ancestors 500 million years of evolutionary process, has experienced numerous Ice Age and a long hunting period, when mainly meat-based so, on a large number of eating red meat-based. Therefore, the red meat for human genetic inheritance, the immune system is familiar.

Because women on average than men, less meat (especially red meat), and the monthly menstrual blood loss due to bereavement iron (up to 30 mg), women more likely than men anemia. The survey found that nearly half of women in Taicang anemia.

As a more long-standing agricultural civilization and population pressure, the Chinese people than Westerners to rely more on plant foods, and thus prone to iron-deficiency anemia.

Whether Venus people, Taicang people are still other Chinese people, and whether a woman or a man, they do not (iron deficiency) anemia, they are only eating wrong!

The best sources of iron supplementation of meat, rather than iron supplements or iron-fortified foods. The latter is the synthesis of iron-containing iron, very easy to over-absorption, but can not be effectively excreted, resulting in oxidative damage. Of iron in meat is organic iron, will not be excessive absorption.

Remember, meat is more than vegetarian nutrition, red meat than white meat is more iron, more women than men need red meat!

To celebrate the student nutrition day, meet the “61″ Children’s Day, but also the entrance exam and college entrance examination in order to provide nutrition guidance to students, I published this article today, I wish you success in examinations. – West Wood Dr.

Nutrition in the College Entrance Examination Guide

Westwood Dr.

Health food and nutritional supplements can be the problem child into a model student. This story took place in Ms Fung’s daughter, who Xiaomei. Xiaomei was seven years old, reading a grade, regular and children fighting, energy is not concentrated, poor academic performance. I asked Xiaomei like to eat something, Ms Fung said, Xiaomei like to eat candy, chocolate, ice cream, fritters and French fries, like Coke.

I told Ms Fung, let Xiaomei quit all sugar foods and beverages, drink plenty of water, eat fish, eggs, raw vegetables, fruits and nuts, high-quality multi-vitamin supplement minerals, Deep Sea Fish Oil. Six months later, Ms Fung is very pleased to tell me, Xiaomei became the squad leader.

Mothers who are aware, from 3 years of age, a child covered with teeth, can be completely dependent on food. But now the food can provide enough nutrition to grow? On the market a wide range of nutritional supplements for children, with each passing day, in the end there is no need to add? And how to choose and take it?

Since the United States after returning home, I found that children in China, an increasingly westernized, like fast food, snacks and drinks, very little water, little to eat fresh fruit, vegetables and fish. Many children appeared in obesity, myopia, hyperactivity, learning difficulties, and even juvenile delinquency.

We all thought that the current surplus of child nutrition, does not. The study found that China’s urban children are a quarter to a third obvious malnutrition, most likely a lack of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin B family, vitamin C, as well as iron, zinc and calcium and so on. In fact, the most lacking in nutrition are DHA, which is to build the brain, eyes and a key ingredient in cell membranes.

You may be very surprised, my children eat a lot, drink a lot, glowing, how could malnourished? May be a matter of fact, the child the more fat, the more body fat, but fewer vitamins and other nutritional attributes actually enjoy. Junk food and beverage packaging virtually no nutrition, they are just “empty calories.” Rely on chemical fertilizers and hormones reminder large ripening general lack of nutritional food products. We are also keen on Chinese mother cook fried fried, which makes food nutrients further reduced.

With spinach, for example, pulled fresh spinach from a geographic to save after 10 days, vitamin C lost over 90%. If you then boiled spinach, of which 100% of the enzyme to lose activity, the loss of more than 90% of the folic acid, vitamin C are negligible, the iron absorption rate dropped significantly.
Therefore, to nutrition and health, I suggest that every child
A, Sibu-based, consumption of natural life food that is fresh, whole, raw food, and with fish, meat, eggs, raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, fungi and algae carbs green light foods mainly option of organic, green, pollution-free food;
B, nutritional supplement supplement supplement high-quality multi-vitamin mineral and deep sea fish oil, natural selection of raw materials, easy-to-absorption, nutrient complete brand. I choose the United States natural treasures of this brand.

The quality of nutritional supplements on the market varies, and some lack of active ingredients, and some can not be dissolved in a timely manner, and some even contain toxins. U.S. survey shows that the nutrients on the market, more than half to two-thirds, including those of the best-selling vitamin brands, not 45 minutes to an hour between the dissolved, and some even not insoluble. There are a mixture of pollutants into the machining process, such as gasoline and heavy metals. For our children’s health, you have to select nutritional supplements in accordance with the following criteria:

1,
Full range containing adequate and effective nutritional composition;

2
Non-toxic, have not been contaminated;

3
Mainly of natural ingredients, no chemical additives;

4
Can be decomposed in a short time, easy to absorb.
Otherwise, you may outweigh the benefits, they would rather not fill. For children, you must choose high-quality nutritional supplements. All meet the above criteria are not many brands of nutritional supplements, the U.S. imported the “natural treasure” is one of them.

For each child’s physical and diet, I recommend the following personalized nutritional supplement program for children:

Normal children (all children):
n
3-12
Add (natural treasure) children’s chewable multi-dimensional nutrition, DHA Soft Capsule
n
13-18 years
Add (natural treasure) Shaojun multi-dimensional complex nutritional tablets, DHA Soft Capsule

During the examination, or in the entrance examination, recommendations from the exam the first 4 months ago to start taking. On the test day, it is recommended half an hour before the start of the examination services
Nutrition with Vitamin C composite films, or delicious-dimensional C chewable tablets.

Obese Children: In addition to add (carbs)-L-carnitine and cocoa powder
Eye Myopia: Also, additional (natural treasure) Norwegian cod liver oil
Learning difficulties (or frail anemia): Also add brewer’s yeast powder (suitable for children over 7 years old)
Dysplasia (or frequent colds): Also added (natural treasure) chelate zinc lozenges (for children over 13 years of age, need to control the use of time)

Finally, let us take a nutrient guidelines:

Nutrients should be stored in sealed dark, cool, dry place, in order to avoid oxidation, decomposition, deterioration.
The best with the most nutrients (including fat) meal taking, for example, vitamin mineral, because some vitamins can only break down fat where absorption, such as vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E.
Delivery service for nutrients water temperature should not exceed the body temperature, or destruction of some nutrients may be heated. For example, vitamin C begins to decompose at 40 degrees, 60 degrees loss of enzyme activity.
Taken before meals for some nutrients, such as enzymes and L-carnitine, preferably for half an hour before a meal to take.
Some nutrients may affect sleep, such as L-carnitine, valerian roots, and tryptophan. Do not take L-carnitine in the evening or take a small amount, because it may make you energetic, hard to sleep. Valerian roots and tryptophan can help sleep, you can take half an hour before bedtime.
Some nutrients are very easily oxidized damaged, such as deep sea fish oil, it should be stored in the refrigerator fresh, the best vitamins and vitamin E or compound the same clothes.
Some nutrients will produce physical changes, such as taking riboflavin or riboflavin-containing complex vitamins urine, is a normal phenomenon.
Some nutrients will produce short-term, similar to the phenomenon of food allergy. For example, some people after taking the grape seed extract may be dizziness, diarrhea may be after taking the enzymes, these symptoms usually disappear within a few days to a week, otherwise you should stop taking it, or consult your nutritionist.
Special populations of nutrients added, such as child supplementary dose of nutrients, you can refer to their body weight to adjust the proportion of adult, infant and maternal nutrient supplement, please consult your nutritionist.

student nutrition , psychology and crime
Westwood Dr.

It’s hard to imagine that China every minute a student of crime! Starting in the 1980s, China’s juvenile delinquency rate has increased year by year, accounting for more than 70% of the total number of crimes.

You are more difficult to imagine, in the era of junk food, juvenile delinquency is not primarily social issues, but nutritional problems. The study found that juvenile offenders in the United States more than 60% of sugar intake too much, a serious lack of vitamins and minerals. The success rate of correctional education, only 30%, 70% will be re-locked behind bars; and nutrition, therapeutic success rate as high as 80% or more! The most effective nutrition therapy is eating carbs organic nutrition Catering: get rid of sweets and refined starches, vitamin supplements and minerals, nutrients, try to choose organic food.

Not bad kids, only bad food! Why is junk food will increase the law? Because changes in food hormones, hormone changes in psychology, general-containing nerves of pesticides in food interferon , which commands around the brain.

The human brain accounts for 2% of body weight, but consumes 20% of the energy and nutrition. Brain hormones and neurotransmitters released by the signal, and command our body. Different food will stimulate the secretion of different hormones, which induce a different signal commands. Junk food, especially high-sugar, high caffeine, food or alcohol, will stimulate insulin, serotonin, dopamine, or a large number of secretion of adrenaline, and then significantly decreased, resulting in blood glucose, neurotransmitter and hormonal fluctuations, as well as nutritional deficiencies. A low blood sugar, low-hormone, and low nutritional status, you will feel depression, mental retardation; while in high-adrenaline-induced hyperglycemic state, you have rapid heartbeat, nervousness and hyperactivity. Depression, stress and low intellectual status so that you can easily make wrong decisions, including crime.

When the blood sugar, serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline in a stable state, the people’s mood was very calm; when the ups and downs in blood sugar and hormones, the mood swings will be followed. Blood sugar is too low hormone levels, you will be depressed; they are too high, you will be anxiety, irritability and even mad. It is like a normal blood pressure and high blood pressure are not the same.

When depression cortisol increase, inhibit the “mother hormone” DHEA, thereby reducing the hormone levels of activity, and even kill brain cells, or lead to suicide. Pleasure of dopamine and endorphin increased, they have the excitement and analgesic effect and the role of the latter to the former longer. Sports and love can reduce cortisol, increase endorphin, but the greater the role of diet and nutrition.

Sugar overdose or malnutrition, destruction of young people first of all physical and mental health, resulting in learning difficulties, behavioral quirks or psychological illness. For example, too much sugar can lead to “addicted to sugar, irritability syndrome”: hyperactivity anxiety, mood swings, love lost his temper, beat and destroy.

The absence of brain nutrients, such as vitamin B family, zinc and DHA, may experience difficulties in learning. The lack of zinc or iron may be eating foreign bodies, such as paper, soil, stones and hair. The lack of chromium can become lazy, manifested as excessive sweating, a long time Shuibu Xing. A lack of calcium or magnesium will be nervous, there pumping livestock, Zhuaernaosai blink of an eye, biting fingers, Akira feet, insomnia, night crying, mental disorder. A lack of vitamin B family will be depressed, there cool, sensitive, irritability, teeth, inability to concentrate, memory decline. A lack of vitamin C will be withdrawn, there expression of indifference, Shaoyanguayu do not like contact.

A good mood is to eat out, the key is a low-carbon sugar, nutritional supplements, organic sound in order to stabilize blood sugar and hormones, reducing toxic interference, so as to stabilize the psychological. You can use an organic mental nutrition carbs catering to accomplish this:

balance of psychological foods: fish, seafood, seaweed, meat, eggs, nuts, seeds, vegetables, low-sugar fruits, fungi and other green food carbs , multi-vitamins minerals;

antidepressant foods: cocoa, green tea, red wine, hyperin, Centella asiatica, vitamin B family, vitamin C;

antianxiety food: lotus seed, lily, pearls, Bozi Ren, Suanzaoren, vitamin B family, calcium and magnesium.

Procurement Cooking Guide: try to choose organic foods, raw food as possible.

Parents and principals should be remembered: our children are eating out!

Why did the Chinese mainland centuries scientists have had zero Nobel Prize

Westwood Dr.

Brain Nutrition decided to fluid intelligence and innovation. To measure the highest standards of innovation capability is a Nobel Prize, it represents the culmination of human mental creativity and the nation the world level. We must ask: Since the first awarded since 1901, representing the world’s population from 1 / 3 to 1 / 5 of the Chinese mainland, why has not scientists won the Nobel Prize?
Shall not award a hundred years, of course, not luck. Is due to language or prejudices do? Japan has received more than 10 Nobel Prize. Is because the poor do? India, unlike China’s wealthy, Indians have the Nobel Prize. Because of lack of funding do? When Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, only a small staff of the Patent Office, there was no research funding. (Of course, although the theory of relativity should be enough to have three Nobel Prize, but because it takes time to verify Einstein’s Nobel Prize that year was the direct cause of his theory of photoelectric effect.) Shall not award a hundred years, and China for thousands of years on the diet nutrition – that is inseparable from the material basis of human creativity. Low-fat, high sugar, cooked food, so that the traditional Chinese diet a serious lack of brain nutrition.
The brain accounts for about 2% of body weight, but need to consume about 20% of human resources, including energy, nutrients and oxygen. Brain nutrition including vitamins (such as vitamin C and B family), minerals (such as zinc and iron), amino acids (such as lysine) and fatty acids (such as DHA) and so on. In particular, the brain, 60% of the composition of fats, Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) is one of the largest fatty acids. Therefore, vegetarianism is the first injury to the brain! Chinese people eat starch (sugar), less meat, less fish, likely to cause brain mashing, the lack of essential fatty acids (DHA), amino acids, vitamin B family such as the brain and zinc nutrition, how to carry out an effective innovation?
There is a misconception that the brain can only burn sugar, but not burn fat. In fact, the operation efficiency of the brain than when you burn the fat burning glucose than 25%. Richard • Vic (Richard
Veech) is a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fellow, Harvard Medical School and graduated from the University of Oxford Ph.D., instructor for the Nobel laureate Hans
Krebs. Vic prove that: “the heart and brain efficiency in burning fat than when 25% higher than when the burning of sugar.” This and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study found consistent: less sugar and refined carbohydrate intake people more and more people have IQs higher than 25%. “Carnivore seek the”, such as the sage Confucius; flesh-eating nation to conquer the world, such as the command of the Mongols of Genghis Khan. But we are popular with low-fat high-sugar diet was dominated. In addition, the brain cells to use glucose without insulin delivery, it is very easy to be glycosylated brain cells, so that oxygen flows to reduce free radicals increase.
Now we look at the focus of the largest in the human brain fatty acid – Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA). It’s the content of the brain in normal animals, the brain content of more than 10 times. DHA can be described as the flower of the wisdom of human life.
There is no fat, there is no cell membrane and life. No DHA, there would be no brain, no human beings. Our ancestors originally ate a lot of fish, shellfish and crustaceans and then use the tools for breaking open nuts (eg walnuts), animal bone marrow and brain, absorbing a wealth of Omega 3 fatty acids, the formation of the wisdom of animals, above all treasures of – the brain. DHA mainly in deep-sea fish, eggs and other animal foods and nuts (eg walnuts), flax seed oil as well as some plants such as purslane in the. But agricultural civilization of China is famous for thousands of years, grain-based diet has been the lack of adequate sources of DHA.
Even make matters worse, the main component of fat, the brain DHA in more than 70 degrees when it began to be broken down damaged, but we Chinese people like to use more than 100 degrees C temperature heat cooking, dietary DHA is also unique in the devastated.
Simply put, China’s diet is not conducive to the supply of nutrients the brain: first, we grain-based diets (including the use of grain-fed animals) in the DHA had less; Second, we are keen to undermine the heating cooking DHA; Third, the popular low-fat diet and further blocked the source of DHA. As a result, the Chinese people’s diet structure of the already serious shortage of DHA, can not meet the mental demand, and the popular fat-phobia is more to make this situation worse. This is the Chinese people and the physical causes of the Nobel Prize missed.
Chinese intellectuals Recent nutritional health is more worrying!
According to statistics, Chinese intellectuals, the average life expectancy was only 58 years old, below the national average life expectancy of 12 years of age. Silicon Valley in China – Beijing’s Zhongguancun, the Beijing University and Tsinghua University is located, with an average per square meter How many pieces of wisdom with the brain. However, where the average life expectancy is only 53 years of intellectuals, and more than 10 years ago shortened the 5-year-old. He Yong, a professor of Mathematics, Zhejiang University, Ph.D. advisor, will be only 36 years old passed away. Families and colleagues at the school recognized the cause of death is excessive exertion. The operations research expert, but not logistics own nutrition, health and life! As early as Hidetoshi with Yong Shi intellectuals everywhere. It is reported that:
January 22, 2005, 36-year-old lecturer at Tsinghua University JIAO Lian-wei with abrupt onset and death;
January 26, 2005, 46-year-old professor at Tsinghua University Wenhuan, passed away due to lung cancer;
April 22, 2006, 49-year-old Peking University professor of Chinese literature, famous expert in the study of ancient Chinese literature Meng two winter due to the death of esophageal cancer.
The brain accounts for only 2% of body weight, but the intellectuals, but use it to deal with 98% of the work. Therefore, the intellectuals, the brain needs more nutrition, and thus a deficit of DHA are also more serious. Heavy mental need more DHA than ordinary fat in order to Bunao; low-fat diet and heated cooking fat has blocked the source of DHA. But more serious is that the diet of many of China’s scientists very scientific, but even more unscientific than the average person! Chinese scientists lack of exercise, even more than the average person lacks nutrition, especially nutrition, the brain!
Mental health the best food is salmon, organic eggs, flaxseed oil, walnuts and dark green vegetables. Because these foods are the most concentrated source of DHA. However, lives a simple life, and sleepless nights have always been regarded as a virtue. Chinese scientists are often the most save time and money, do not want to spend time and money to buy fish nutrition, such as Deep Sea Fish Oil. In order to work, they often choose the most save time and money for food, such as bread, biscuits, instant noodles, fast food and cola and so on; the type and quantity of recent years, with Western fast food and packaged food and beverages increased popularity. These foods is only calories and no nutrition; only make the brain more than mashing, undernourished!
Scientists did not expect that our beloved: In order to save money and time, they shorten life, by doing so each person on average waste more than 12 years of life and time! Average life expectancy of 53-58 years, only enough to read Dr. post-doctoral, and the remaining study period there will be no years. Therefore, until today, China’s scientists have not received the Nobel Prize.
We hope the Nobel Prize in there? The next generation! But now the hands of Chinese children sugar-free, and my heart tears; most like to eat junk food, drinking sugary drinks. Some schools have a so-called nutrition, catering to students, mostly low-fat, high-refined carbohydrates. These junk food not only affects the students ability to learn, but also so that the rate of childhood obesity, students and even Jin Shishuai campus crime has risen every year! Nobel scientists come from?
Concept of scientific development concept calls for scientific diet! There is no scientific diet concept, we can not cultivate a Nobel Prize-winning scientist. Of science and technology, and national rejuvenation is based on the premise of change in the national nutrition. In this regard, the lessons we can learn from the Americans and the Japanese experience.

-carbs diet so that my examination results

from 39 were easy to jump to 15 Name
Really aspire to, ah, our generation does not want to catch up with the good times that I hit a born, living in a world of chemicals and pollution, and so spent 10 years on, no wonder I feel very natural, very discordant really very grateful to Dr, and let me know so much knowledge, lifestyle changes, really benefit from the life ah.

I have now disabled hormones, and hope that would not get far-reaching harm. Half a month ago, I organized a health card, stick to the gym every day for two hours, and adhere to the principle of carbs diet, and now is really thin, and energy are particularly good, so excited! Although the high school academic busy, but I still find time to exercise, my classmates said I was crazy, do not want the college entrance examination, but I found that my learning efficiency has been enhanced, not how to affect their learning. I had the results were not good, just arrived, when that class is 39, the former had entered a period of the first 15 of the Yuekao.
I thought, I am not smart, people are pretty stupid, and learn to forget, I’m learning methods also do not have any particular time also did not spend a lot of work at night because I go to Fitness 30-minute study habits, but the results do easily improved, I feel, that with your Dr. I have always been respected carbs organic healthy living is definitely a great relationship.
My friends say that like you have never seen such a tense stage in high school, life can so leisurely, learn so easily. I listened to die happy, and feel really lucky. My teacher knew I was right nutrition is very interested in actually looking for a few days ago I said that the students wanted me to give some information on high school diet, I suddenly put your blog, the article gave the students involved printing times of the month showed a teacher to see, always looked at is also very touching to listen to exciting, and treasured my print has come that all information furnished to the quote to the wall, a wall is (the teacher had only intended to self-study class We now introduce a little of). My classmates from the original I am the only one who knows carbs now well known, actually on the same afternoon outside the class again to our class by the teacher data to print, I have almost all excited dead.
Hope that more and more people understand the carbs in support of carbs. Dr. look at the blog also like everyone to see my experience can be more firmly than their own determination of organic healthy life.
Oh, say, a speaking so much, 3q, Dr. and replied ѽ
