A quick guide with suggestions on which foods, drinks and activities to choose and which ones to avoid while on the SDII programme.

EAT

• 
  
• Wide selection of vegetables
• Healthy oils (limit 40ml/day)
• Lean cuts of meat
• Eggs
• Low fat dairy - yoghurt & cheese
• Tofu

AVOID

• 
  
• Sugary foods & drinks
• Cakes, biscuits, pies & pastries
• Chocolate & lollies
• Crackers
• Rice & noodles
• Bread, cereal, pasta
• Starchy vegetables
• Most fresh fruit & all dried fruit

By choosing the right foods with a lot of variety you will find that you will never be bored or hungry!
Avoid high sugar carbohydrates and choose complex carbohydrates to fill up on instead. A total limit of 35g carbohydrate daily applies to support the body's natural ability to burn fat instead of glucose.
Adequate protein is essential as it assists with maintaining muscle mass which will support a healthy metabolism.
Foods that contain "good" fats have a very satisfying effect on hunger so a little bit goes a long way - eat only in moderation.

DRINK

• 
  
• Water
• Unsweetened tea
• Herbal tea
• Green tea
• Mineral water
• Soda water - occasionally

AVOID

• 
  
• Alcohol - beer, wine, spirits
• Sodas - both regular and diet
• Fruit juice
• Milk
• Hypotonic or sports drinks
• Coffee

Drink at least 2.0 litres every day, more if you are exercising or if it is particularly hot. Green tea and unsweetened herbal teas contribute to your total intake. Sweetened beverages should be avoided; they contain excessive carbohydrates, usually with little nutritional merit.

MOVE

• 
  
• Walk, jog or run
• Swim, aqua walk or aqua aerobics
• Cycle
• Dance
• Group fitness classes or Yoga
• Weight & resistance training

AVOID

• 
  
• Driving everywhere
• Watching too much TV
• Sitting all day
• Using the escalator

Regular exercise - just 30 minutes 5 or more days each week will help with your weight management, overall health and energy levels - it simply makes you feel better. If you cannot exercise for a continuous 30 minutes that's alright - start with moving for as long as you can.

As your fitness improves, be sure to continue challenging yourself by changing your activity e.g. increase the pace, add in some hills and increase the duration.

Colostrum's History

Anne 

Mobile no +0126571930

Email anyselvam@gmail.com

Early in the 20th century it was noted that antibody levels in the first milk produced after birth (colostrum) were much higher than were found in the milk produced after 72 hours.

It was already known that these antibodies contained certain properties that enhanced protection. Prior to the development of sulphur drugs and antibiotics, colostrum was used for the natural antibiotic properties it contained.

A physician, Albert Sabin who is credited with developing the first polio vaccine, was an advocate of colostrum use and had in fact originally isolated the first anti-polio antibodies from bovine colostrum.

About forty years later Campbell and Peterson, using an orthodox vaccination protection theory, developed a programme whereby cows were immunised with a mixture of attenuated pathogens before the birth of their calf.

The colostrum collected from these animals was referred to as immune or hyperimmunised colostrum.

Research which was conducted using the hyperimmune milks showed it to be prophylactically and therapeutically successful in preventing and treating pathogens capable of causing infections in the intestinal tract, ranging from E.coli, infant rotavirus, Cryptococcidiosis, diarrhoea in AIDS and other immunodeficient patients, dental carie formation and a variety of other conditions.

In 1992 Kummer was the first to demonstrate that colostrum from non-immunised cows can prevent gastrointestinal disease in infants. In 1998 McConnell and her colleagues at Otago University, New Zealand, in conjunction with The New Zealand Dairy Group demonstrated that it was possible to produce a colostrum from pasture-fed, non-immunised cows which showed greater antibody volume and activity than that of the hyperimmunised equivalent.

The New Zealand Dairy Industry pioneered the first commercial colostrum collection system. Hundreds of dairy farmers with more than 400 cows invested in separate stainless stell tanks and the companies developed the means by which to collect, pasteurise, dry and store colostrum in large quantities. New Image International pioneered the marketing of colostrum with the creation of a product from the first batch by the name of LIFELINE^TM.

Alpha Lipid Colostrum - Benefit Of Colostrum

Colostrum has been called "the nature of the food first." This is the pre-milk product from a fluid the mother of the mammary gland during the first 36 hours after birth. It is not milk or a nutritional supplement. It's all "functional" food for the newborn, of course product and in perfect combination. Its function is to serve as a basis for life.Your life!

Colostrum supplies life support immune and growth factors and a perfect combination vitamins and minerals to ensure the health, vitality and growth of the newborn. Each drop contains the promise of life: immunoglobulins, growth factors, antibodies, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and other substances to help the body in an invasion by the life of different viruses, bacteria, allergens and toxins plié the destruction.

However, the beginning of almost all infectious and degenerative diseases, including cancer and heart disease, is preceded or accompanied by lowering the immune system. Colostrum in nature is unique in that it is the only food to provide shelter critical, such as immunoglobulins, leukocytes, cytokines, lactoferrin, interferon and rich prolene peptides (PRP), the body needs to fight infection and restore immune function.

We have Alpha Lipid Life Line that's a breakfast drink with all vitamins.

DYING TO BE THIN

Contact: Anne

Mobile Phone: +60126571930

Email Address: anyselvam@gmail.com

Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are both serious eating disorders. They are psychiatric illnesses that affect more than five million Americans - and that's both men and women! If this figure doesn't startle you, then listen to this - thousands of these five million people will die from the physical problems resulting from these conditions. Eating disorders aren't limited to the extremes of anorexia and bulimia. They also include binge eating and dangerous fad dieting. In a culture where thin is in, nearly every woman, man and child has suffered at one time or another from issues of weight, body shape and self-image.

Eating Disorders - What Is Anorexia?

Anorexia Nervosa is a disorder in which an indvidual becomes obsessed with dieting and thinness. This obssession leads to excessive weight loss. The anorexic's preoccupation with food and weight is distorted and results in severe self-loathing. Anorexics have an extremely warped body image - despite being extraordinarily thin, most see themselves as fat. They actually fear fat, even when they are painfully thin. There are many theories as to why and how people become anorexic. Some believe that anorexia masks other underlying psychological problems, such as lack of control. Sometimes when a person feels they have no control over their situation(s) (maybe school, family, work, etc.), they transfer the need for control into control over their body. Anorexics usually weigh 85 percent or less than what is expected for age and height. In addition to the obvious physical problem of extremely low weight, anorexics are often depressed, lonely and filled with feelings of shame about their physical appearance.

Loss of a significant amount of weight.

Continuing to diet although thin.

Feeling fat, even after losing weight.

Intense fear of weight gain.

Loss of monthly menstrual periods.

Preoccupation with food, calories, fat contents and nutrition. Also, categorizing foods into Good vs. Dangerous food groups.

Eating Disorders - Anorexia Can Kill

It's not just fashion baby - it's life and death. Anorexia can cause serious damage to your body. Take a look for yourself.

Shrunken organs.

Bone mineral loss, which can lead to osteoporosis (that means twisting up into a humpback like QuasiModo).

Low body temperature.

Low blood pressure.

Slowed metabolism and reflexes.

Irregular heartbeat, which can lead to cardiac arrest.

Death.

Eating Disorders - Facts to Chew On

More than five million men, women and children suffer from eating disorders.

An estimated one thousand women die each year from anorexia nervosa.

One percent of American teenage girls develop anorexia. Ten percent of them may die from it.

1. The Colostrum in Alpha Lipid Lifeline

In “Colostrum, Life’s First Food”, Dr. Daniel G. Clark’s basic message, as printed on the back cover of his book, is that “bovine colostrum rebuilds the immune system, destroys viruses, bacteria and fungi, accelerates healing of all body tissue, helps lose weight, burn fat, increase bone and lean muscle mass and slow down and even reverses aging.”

Colostrum is the first mammary secretion that a mammal provides for its newborn for the first 24-48 hours. It contains all the goodness for the newborn to become a beautiful adult. Bovine colostrum is biologically transferable to all mammals, including men.

Alpha Lipid Lifeline is made with New Zealand bovine colostrum. The colostrum is not taken from one single cow but from a huge number of free roaming cows. This way the colostrum will contain a wide spectrum of immunoglobulins - meaning that the colostrum contains antibodies against more variety of pathogens.

Thousands of research papers have shown bovine colostrum to be highly beneficial to human health. Namely ...

Support Life - Colostrum is literally ‘nature’s first food’ and were shown to enhance many crucial biochemical processes of the newborn to ensure that the young mammal grows to become beautiful adult.

Mucosal Immunity - Guarding the entrances where bacteria and viruses enter the body. Blocking viruses from our blood system could prevent sepsis. Viruses entered our cell and changed the DNA. Blocking viruses entering the cell could also prevent virus-initiated mutation which could be the cause of many cancers such as HPV causing cervical cancer in women.

Autoimmune Diseases - Autoimmune diseases are caused by our own immune system. Colostrum contains many immunomodulatory proteins (PRPs) to balance our immune function helping to lower the risks of autoimmune diseases. Lactoferrin in colostrum found to be able to alleviates some autoimmune diseases. Link

Protects and Fights Cancer - Colostrum is not a drug to prevent, treat or cure cancers. The US Center for Disease Control acknowledged the antiviral activity of colostrum (Link). This antiviral activity may block cancer causing viruses and indirectly reduced the risks of virus-initiated cancers.  

Enhances Brain Power - Research found a component called colostrinin in colostrum that could potentially enhance brain power and may have the potential to help people with Alzheimer’s disease in the future. Link

Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is caused by the increased in permeability of the gut lining. This can happen due to the diet, alcohol and or medicine. Research shown colostrum to be able to restore the health of the gut. Regular intake of colostrum may eradicate the IBS problem.

Beautiful Skin - Colostrum has been shown to modify,  repair and rebuild the gut. Thus improving the absorption of nutrients and at the same time the elimination of toxic wastes. Various growth factors and Proline-Rich-Polypeptides found to benefit skin health. Drink Alpha Lipid Lifeline everyday for a more beautiful and healthy skin.

Better Recovery - Colostrum helps the body recovers faster in the event of stress and injury.

Travel Insurance - With Colostrum anti-bacteria and anti-virus activities as confirmed by US Center for Disease Control, taking colostrum along during a holiday trip may reduce the episodes of danger post by food and water. Link

Adding Alpha Lipid Colostrum to the pet’s diet makes them healthy and active.

2. 1000mg of bio-available calcium in Alpha Lipid Lifeline

Calcium is required for vascular contraction and vasodilation, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling and hormonal secretion, though less than 1% of total body calcium is needed to support these critical metabolic functions. Serum calcium is very tightly regulated and does not fluctuate with changes in dietary intakes; the body uses bone tissue as a reservoir for, and source of calcium, to maintain constant concentrations of calcium in blood, muscle, and intercellular fluids. That’s why long-term inadequate calcium intake results in weaken bones and tooth normally seen in old people causing osteoporosis.

3. Alpha Lipid Lifeline is fortified with Vitamin B-complex

“The B vitamins may be necessary to:

• Support and increase the rate of metabolism
• Maintain healthy skin, hair and muscle tone
• Enhance immune and nervous system function
• Promote cell growth and division, including that of the red blood cells that help prevent anemia
• Reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer - one of the most lethal forms of cancer - when consumed in food, but not when ingested in vitamin tablet form.

  FOR MORE INFO CONTACT ANNIE AT anyselvam@gmail.com, OR CALL +6012-6571930 
 

All B vitamins are water-soluble, and are dispersed throughout the body. Most of the B vitamins must be replenished regularly, since any excess is excreted in the urine.

B vitamins have also been hypothesized to improve the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.”

4. Alpha Lipid Lifeline is fortified Probiotics

Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium were also added in the making of Alpha Lipid Lifeline.

“At the start of the 20th century, probiotics were thought to beneficially affect the host by improving its intestinal microbial balance, thus inhibiting pathogens and toxin producing bacteria.  Today, specific health effects are being investigated and documented including alleviation of chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases, prevention and treatment of pathogen-induced diarrhea, urogenital infections, and atopic diseases.” Source : Wikipedia.org

All in all, Alpha Lipid Lifeline is a beverage drink that you don’t want to missed. Google search the above four ingredients, colostrum, calcium, vitamin B-complex, and probiotics with the word ‘inflammation” and draw your own conclusion as to the health benefits of Alpha Lipid Lifeline

Colostrum

Colostrum (also known colloquially as beestings,^[1] bisnings^[2] or first milk) is a form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals (including humans) in late pregnancy. Most species will generate colostrum just prior to giving birth. Colostrum contains antibodies to protect the newborn against disease, as well as being lower in fat^[3] and higher in protein than ordinary milk.

Human colostrum

Above is colostrum expressed on day 4 of lactation, and on the right is breastmilk expressed on day 8. Colostrum often has a yellow hue compared to breastmilk.

Newborns have very immature digestive systems, and colostrum delivers its nutrients in a very concentrated low-volume form. It has a mild laxative effect, encouraging the passing of the baby's first stool, which is called meconium. This clears excess bilirubin, a waste-product of dead red blood cells, which is produced in large quantities at birth due to blood volume reduction, from the infant's body and helps prevent jaundice. Colostrum is known to contain antibodies called immunoglobulins such as IgA, IgG, and IgM in mammals. IgA is absorbed through the intestinal epithelium, travels through the blood, and is secreted onto other Type 1 mucosal surfaces. These are the major components of the adaptive immune system. Other immune components of colostrum include the major components of the innate immune system, such as lactoferrin,^[4] lysozyme,^[5] lactoperoxidase,^[6] complement,^[7] and proline-rich polypeptides (PRP).^[8] A number of cytokines (small messenger peptides that control the functioning of the immune system) are found in colostrum as well,^[9] including interleukins,^[9] tumor necrosis factor,^[10] chemokines,^[11] and others. Colostrum also contains a number of growth factors, such as insulin-like growth factors I,^[12] and II,^[13] transforming growth factors alpha,^[14] beta 1 and beta 2,^[15][16] fibroblast growth factors,^[17] epidermal growth factor,^[18] granulocyte-macrophage-stimulating growth factor,^[19] platelet-derived growth factor,^[19] vascular endothelial growth factor,^[20] and colony-stimulating factor-1.^[21]

Colostrum is very rich in proteins, vitamin A, and sodium chloride, but contains lower amounts of carbohydrates, lipids, and potassium than normal milk. The most pertinent bioactive components in colostrum are growth factors and antimicrobial factors. The antibodies in colostrum provide passive immunity, while growth factors stimulate the development of the gut. They are passed to the neonate and provide the first protection against pathogens.

In animal husbandry

Colostrum is crucial for newborn farm animals. They receive no passive transfer of immunity via the placenta before birth, so any antibodies that they need have to be ingested. This oral transfer of immunity can occur because the newborn's stomach is porous. This means that large proteins (such as antibodies) can pass through the stomach wall. The newborn animal must receive colostrum within 6 hours of being born for maximal transfer of antibodies to occur. The stomach wall remains somewhat open up to 24 hours of age, but transfer is more limited.^[22]

Livestock breeders commonly bank colostrum from their animals. Colostrum can be stored frozen but it does lose some of its inherent quality. Colostrum produced on a breeder's own premises is considered to be superior to colostrum from other sources, because it is produced by animals already exposed to (and, thus, making antibodies to) pathogens occurring on the premises. A German study reported that multiparous mares produced on average a liter (quart) of colostrum containing 70 grams of IgG.^[23]

Bovine colostrum is produced by cows for their newborn calves. In many dairy cow herds the calves are not permitted to nurse; rather, they are fed colostrum from a bottle or by stomach tube and later milk from a bottle then a bucket.

Human consumption of bovine colostrum

Solidified Colostrum in a sweet stall, Salem, Tamil Nadu.

Molozyvo – a traditional dish of Ukrainian cuisine. It is a sweet cheese made of cow colostrum.

Assertions that colostrum consumption is of human benefit are questionable because most ingredients undergo digestion in the adult stomach, including antibodies and all other proteins. Bovine colostrum and its components are safe for human consumption, except in the context of intolerance or allergy to lactose or other components. It shows promise in the treatment or prevention of a variety of diseases.^[24][25][26]

Bovine colostrum from pasture-fed cows contains immunoglobulins specific to many human pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Cryptosporidium parvum, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella, Staphylococcus,^[27] and rotavirus (which causes diarrhea in infants). Before the development of antibiotics, colostrum was the main source of immunoglobulins used to fight infections. In fact, when Albert Sabin made his first oral vaccine against polio, the immunoglobulin he used came from bovine colostrum.^[28] When antibiotics began to appear, interest in colostrum waned, but, now that antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogens have developed, interest is once again returning to natural alternatives to antibiotics, namely, colostrum.^[29]

Some athletes have used colostrum in an attempt to improve their performance^[30] decrease recovery time,^[31] and prevent sickness during peak performance levels.^[32][33] Thus, supplementation with bovine colostrum (20 g/d) in combination with exercise training for 8 wk may increase bone-free lean body mass in active men and women.^[30][34]

Low IGF-1 levels may be associated with dementia in the very elderly, although causation has not been established.^[35] People with eating disorders also have low levels of IGF-1 due to malnutrition,^[36] as do obese individuals.^[37] Supplementation with colostrum, which is rich in IGF-1, can be a useful part of a weight reduction program.^{[citation needed]} Although IGF-1 is not absorbed intact by the body, it does stimulate the production of IGF-1 when taken as a supplement.^[38]

Colostrum also has antioxidant components, such as lactoferrin^[39] and hemopexin, which binds free heme in the body.^[40]

Hyperimmune colostrum

Hyperimmune colostrum was an early attempt to boost the effectiveness of natural bovine colostrum by immunizing cows with a specific pathogen and then collecting the colostrum after the cow gave birth. This initially appeared very promising as antibodies did appear towards the specific pathogens or antigens that were used in the original challenge. However, upon closer examination and comparison, it was found that IgG levels in natural colostrum towards 19 specific human pathogens were just as high as in hyperimmune colostrum, and natural colostrum nearly always had higher antibody titers than did the hyperimmune version.^[27] However, travelan, a drug used to prevent traveler's diarrhea is made using this method, and has been shown to prevent the disease in up to 90% of people.^[41]

Proline-rich Polypeptides (PRP)

These small immune signaling peptides were independently discovered in colostrum and other sources, such as blood plasma, in the United States,^[42] and Poland.^[43] Hence they appear under various names in the literature, including Colostrinin, CLN, transfer factor and PRP. They function as signal transducing molecules that have the unique effect of modulating the immune system, turning it up when the body comes under attack from pathogens or other disease agents, and damping it when the danger is eliminated or neutralized.^[44] At first thought to actually transfer immunity from one immune system to another, it now appears that PRP simply stimulates cell-mediated immunity.^[45]

A 2006 study published in the Journal of Experimental Therapeutics and Oncology indicated that PRP may have an impact on the aging process by reducing the spontaneous or induced mutation frequency in the DNA of cells.^[46] Such DNA damage is implicated in the general process of aging. The study, which was performed in both hamster and human cells, looked at the impact of PRP on the frequency of defined DNA mutations in these cells as they occur naturally and when induced by various known chemical or physical agents. In cells stressed oxidatively, PRP reduced the frequency of mutation induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) to nearly background levels in a dose-dependent manner. It is suggested that the antimutagenic properties of PRP are achieved via multiple mechanisms - by decreasing intracellular levels of ROS and so preventing DNA damage and by increasing the efficiency of natural DNA repair mechanisms.

PRP-rich preparations from bovine colostrum have shown some activity against various diseases including viral infections^[47] of herpes viruses^[48] and HIV,^[49] as well as difficult to treat bacterial and fungal infections like Mycobacterium fortuitum^[50] and Mycobacterium tuberculosis^[51] (cause of tuberculosis), cryptosporidosis in AIDS patients,^[52] and candida.^[53] Also for various forms of cancer, such as Hodgkin's disease,^[54] osteogenic sarcoma,^[55] prostate cancer,^[56] and others. As an immune modulator, PRP is also effective in disease states characterized by an overactive immune system, such as allergies,^[57][58] asthma,^[59] and autoimmune diseases.^[60]

PRP has some effect in neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease,^[61] but has not yet shown longterm disease retarding effect.^[62] A placebo-controlled clinical trial in 106 people with Alzheimer’s over 30 weeks was completed in 2002 and the results appeared to demonstrate efficacy in a significant proportion of patients treated.^[63] The results showed that approximately 40% of patients taking PRP were stabilized or improved after 15 weeks of therapy, based on an Analysis of Overall Response. 33% of patients continued to show stabilization or improvement after 30 weeks of treatment, although levels of benefit were slightly higher at the 15-week stage of the trial. The dosage regimen used for the trial was 100 micrograms of PRP administered every second day for three weeks followed by a two-week period without PRP.

There is one report of use in patients with intractable epilepsy.^[64]
