The Famous Eagle Brand Green Oil and Muscular Balm for you

For the past few weeks, I had been having regular back pain and muscle pain especially after a long working day with back to back meetings and hectic schedule at work and life. Whenever possible, I will try to prevent from taking medicine or pain killer. At times, I might feel dizzy with my low blood pressure reading. I always have a bottle of "minyak angin" (medicated oil) with me so that I can apply whenever I need it.

Talking about Medicated Oil, there's this brand Eagle Brand which is famous for their Eagle Brand Medicated Oil, also known as the "Green Oil". Why is it Green Oil? Well it's because it is green in colour. I also tried their Muscular Balm on my pain area and it definitely helps to relieve my pain.

Application is easy as you just need to rub it on area that's achy or discomfort and it will help to cure the pain. It is recommended for usage on adults and children above the age of 2.

Wright Life NMN 15000 and Bright Blueberry supplements (Product Review)

As a working mom, my schedules are always packed everyday. At times, I get so stressed and easily tired. Juggling with work and home is a challenge, and I need to find a way to boost up my health.

When I'm busy, I let my boy watch TV and play with tablet. I know that this is not a good habit, but I had no choice especially when I had to work. That's when I got to know from my friend about Wright Life NMN15000 that can helps for people with stressful lifestyle and anti-aging. I did some research and found many reviews about the benefits.

About Wright Life

It is a very popular brand in recent years on the internet. Charlene Choi is Wright Life NMD ambassador and it is also recommended by a lot of actor and actress. Wright Life is a natural product in Hong Kong and a brand recognized by Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor. Adhering to the brand concept of "Global Excellent Quality, Maintaining the Health of the Whole Family", it has won the Hong Kong Medical and Nursing Association Recommended Product Award and the "Hong Kong Famous Brand" Authority Award for two consecutive years, and has successfully entered the first echelon of China's natural health brand industry.

Nattokinase, Soy Isoflavones, Reduced Coenzyme Q10, Glucosamine Qiangguning, Vitamin Series and many other star products.

I decided to give it a try and purchase Wright Life NMN15000 for myself and Wright Life Bright Blueberry for my boy through Topzmall. It can also be bought from Lazada and Shopee store as well.

Wright Life NMN15000

Wright Life NMN15000 contains NMN, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate. 

It is applicable for 

• People who wants to support healthy aging
• Stressful lifestyle
• Sports people
• Living with unhealthy lifestyle 
• People who want to rejuvenate their skin.

What is NMN?

NMN, also known as nicotinamide mononucleotide, is the precursor of the NAD+ that plays the role as cofactor for the longevity protein (Sirtuins) in the human body. NAD+ is an important raw material for repairing the cellular system, as well as a key communication factor between the nucleus and the mitochondria which is responsible for energy synthesis.

The five main functions for NMN:

• Improved physical functions
• Increased NAD+
• DNA protection
• Delay aging
• Longevity

The names of NMN products are often followed by numbers, such as NMN300, NMN6000, NMN9000. These numbers are the total content of NMN per bottle that meets the standard. The higher the number, the higher the content of NMN ingredients. 

I consumed 2 capsules a day after meal and I can feel the difference. Although the price is a bit high, but the effect is good. My skin looks better and firmer now. I'm less tired and are more focused too. It is useful especially for stressful lifestyle people like mine!

To Smoke or Not to Smoke? What Alternatives Do You Have?

 My dad is a smoker, my mom is a smoker, and my aunt is a smoker too. Whenever I'm with dad, I will always jokingly tell him "Little Genting", as Genting is known for its popular cool and chilly weather, and you will see white clouds around. The term "Little Genting" means the white smoke that is produced by cigarettes. Since small, I'm curious as why my parents like to smoke and so I decided to explore more and share what I found.

 

Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR)

 

What is THR? Tobacco harm reduction (THR) is a public health strategy to lower the health risks to individuals and the wider society associated with using tobacco products. It is an example of the concept of harm reduction, a strategy for dealing with the use of drugs. Cigarette smoke is widely acknowledged as a leading cause of illness and death and reducing smoking is vital to public health.

 

Cigarette Tar, Nicotine, Combustion

 

Cigarette tar that we refer to here is not the substance we use to make the tar road. Tar is a term used to describe the machine-based weight measurement of total particulate matter in cigarette smoke minus water and nicotine. Whilst tar can be a useful measurement for cigarette yields (for example, it can provide some indication of taste intensity), tar yields do not replicate actual smoking behavior and therefore smokers should not assume that lower yield numbers mean a particular brand is safe, safer, or less harmful than another. The best choice a smoker can make is to stop using tobacco and nicotine altogether.

 

Nicotine occurs naturally in the tobacco plant. Once inhaled, nicotine is absorbed through the lungs straight into the bloodstream where it travels through the body into tissues and organs, including the brain. In the brain, nicotine binds to specific receptors and triggers the release of dopamine and other neurotransmitters. As a result, nicotine may stimulate and ultimately affect short-term brain functions such as emotion, learning, and memory.

 

After repeated nicotine stimulation, the brain adapts to the presence of nicotine, a process that is reversible when a person stops using nicotine-containing products. The action of nicotine in the brain can also trigger physiological effects outside the brain. For example, the messenger epinephrine is released into the bloodstream, leading to temporary (and reversible) narrowing of blood vessels, higher blood pressure, and increased heart rate. 

 

Nicotine-containing products should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, should not be used by people who have or are at risk of heart disease, are diabetic, are epileptic, or are experiencing seizures, and should not be used by minors.

 

When a cigarette is lit it burns tobacco at temperatures of up to 900°C. This burning process is known as ‘combustion’. The high temperature of combustion generates the vast numbers and high levels of harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. Eliminating the burning process—as smoke-free products do—means that the average levels of harmful chemicals generated can be significantly reduced compared with cigarette smoke. Whether a product achieves this must be scientifically assessed for each product as they’re all different.

 

Heat-Not-Burn Technology and Heated Tobacco Products

 

Heated tobacco products (HTP) are electronic devices that heat the tobacco stick to help smokers who wanted to switch to a less harmful alternative to consume nicotine without going through the burning process. When you heat them, they produce a vapour containing nicotine, which you inhale. They are different from conventional cigarettes in their mechanism, which heats the tobacco to considerably lower temperatures. In the HTPdevices, the tobacco is heated to 350℃, compared to traditional cigarettes that combust and burn at up to 900℃. Therefore, users and the people surrounding them will not be exposed to any cigarette smoke or second-hand smoke.

 

What Options Do You Have?

 

I've heard many people say that once you start smoking, it's hard to stop. But why? It's because nicotine is so addictive. While it is addictive, Nicotine is not the primary cause of smoking related diseases. It is the harmful chemical components found in cigarette smoke and hundreds of them are harmful to human health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

Therefore, for those who are unwilling to quit smoking, switching to a better alternative such as the smoke-free alternatives is an ideal choice for them to reduce the harm and reduce the chances of exposing themselves and their loved ones to cigarette smoke or second-hand smoke.
