Constipation
Lack of fiber will cause constipation. Fiber can be categorized into soluable and insoluable fiber. Only plant food such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains are rich in fiber. Meat, milk and egg do not contain fiber.
Insoluble fiber is mostly found in whole-wheat foods, bran, nuts, and seeds. It helps our bowels by forming the mass that moves through our digestive system and is key to preventing some digestive conditions such as diarrhea and constipation.
Soluble fiber is mainly found in fruits, vegetables, and psyllium husk, to name a few. It becomes gel-like in water, and is key to helping stools move smoothly through the intestines.
Each type of fiber has its own impact on our digestion and overall health, and we require both in our diets.
Fiber does not contain any calories and it absorbs water easily. This makes you feel full.
Fiber can increase the volume of excrement which can easily move through the big intestine.
HOW MUCH FIBER DO WE NEED PER DAY?
The U.S. Government Dietary Guidelines 2015 recommend that women need about 25 grams of fiber a day, and men need slightly more—about 30 grams per day.
Simply put, there’s a popular saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
In addition to plentiful phytochemicals and antioxidants, one apple, with the skin, contains about 4.4 grams of fiber. Without the skin, you’re only getting about 2.1 grams.
More accurately, the saying should be: “10 apples a day keep the doctor away.”
HOW IS FIBER GOOD FOR OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?
Fiber is essential for our digestive system to run smoothly. Fiber helps clean our digestive system by gently scraping the walls of our intestines and collecting small particles so that they are removed from the body.
Soluble fiber is metabolized by our bacteria, and can help stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in our intestines.
The two types of fiber work in synergy to maintain the health of our bowels and help us keep regular bowel movements. Fiber prevents constipation, and reduces the risk of hemorrhoids and diverticulosis.

Eczema
Eczema is a part of autoimmune disease, read this article before we explain why Rosytime, Rhapsody & Soygreen able to help on this
1. What is Auto-Immune Disease?
There are at least 80 types of auto immune diseases. They can occur in many organs and cause various symptoms.
Auto immune diseases result from a confused immune system attaching normal body tissues.
This is unlike a normal functioning immune system that only attacks substances that are harmful to the body such as bacteria, viruses, toxins and cancer cells.
2. How does consuming Meat, Dairy products increase the risk of auto-immune disease?
Eating meat and dairy products raises the risk of auto immune diseases.
Example those who consumed the most dairy products had almost twice the risk of developing inflammatory poly-arthritis as those with the lowest consumption.
The intestinal lining can become inflamed due to the intake of substances such as alcohol and drugs.
The intestinal inflammation will lead to LEAKY GUT SYNDROME which cause most of the auto-immune diseases.
Inflammation causes the release of chemicals that dissolves the membranes of intestines.
Food is digested in the stomach and intestines and broken down into small molecules that pass through intestinal walls to enter the blood streams.vThe intestinal wall acts as a filter and protective barrier. If this filter is 'damaged' (a common occurrence during inflammation), there will be increased permeability (commonly referred as a LEAKY GUT).
This allows incomplete digested big molecules to pass through the intestinal walls into the blood streams.
When these incomplete big molecules accumulate in certain organs, they stimulate the immune system to react by initiating the inflammation responses.
While attacking these foreign substances, the immune system may mistakenly attack the neighbouring organs, thereby leading to the auto immune diseases.
Fortunately recent evidence indicates that decreasing intestinal permeability by eliminating certain substances from the diet may be helpful.
With the changes in eating habit, and lifestyle change, the auto-immune diseases will improve and be prevented.
3. What are the natural and safer solution to eczema?
3 Step-Solution to improve your eczema:
Step 1: Eliminate meat and dairy products from diet (including cows milk)
Step 2: Keep a diet low in fats and vegetable oils (including biscuits, cakes)
Step 3: Take high antioxidants and phytochemicals superfoods to balance out the immune system

Obesity
Obesity has become a major issue in most
developed countries and is rising in developing
countries. These are the facts about obesity, according
to the World Health Organization:
• Globally, there are more than 1 billion overweight
adults, and at least 300 million of them are obese.
• Obesity poses a major risk for chronic diseases,
including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer.
• The key causes are increased consumption of
high-calorie foods containing saturated fats and
sugars, and reduced physical activity.
With healthy ways to manage your weight through low-calorie plant foods that are high in nutrition and a commitment to moderate exercise each day, you can maintain your weight, or lose
extra pounds and inches without damaging your health
through fad diets, crash diets and other extreme weight loss
methods.
Please feel free to share with others who
are interested in improving their health, so that they, too,
can become familiar with the benefits of Nutritional
Immunology.
Obesity is defined as having too much body fat, which
endangers your health. It is as simple as that! It can
weaken your body’s immune system and reduce its
ability to fight off infections.
What’s more, obese people tend to have
• 40% more risk of heart disease
• 60%–120% higher risk of diabetes and kidney failure
• 10% more risk of cancer
• 20% more risk of lung disease
What Causes Obesity?
Obesity occurs over time when you take in more calories than
you use. Your body stores these excess calories as fat. Obesity
can also be genetically inherited. Unhealthy eating habits and
an inactive lifestyle also contribute to obesity.
Obesity in Figures
The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that by
2015 there will be about 2.3 billion overweight and 700
million obese adults. In 2005, at least 20 million children
under the age of 5 were overweight.
