The word 'Vaccine' is definitely trending up these days! With the wave 4 coronavirus here with us in Hong Kong, together with the FDA and many other Governments approving COVID vaccine for emergency use, it is no doubt that we all place certain hope on these new vaccines. Could these new vaccines really free us from hiding ourselves behind our masks today?
“疫苗”一詞我們這幾天都聽到在耳邊！ 隨著第四波冠狀病毒到來香港，再加上FDA和各國政府批准緊急使用COVID疫苗，毫無疑問，我們都對這些新疫苗寄予了一定的希望。 這些新疫苗真的能讓我們擺脫每天戴口罩嗎？
I'm no expert on the efficacy of these vaccination program to be implemented in a population. From a Nutritional Science perspective, , my view however is Our Immunity could be our Best Vaccine, if we eat it right!
對於在這些疫苗接種計劃的功效，我不是專家。 但是，從營養科學的角度來看，我的觀點是，如果我們吃的健康，我們的免疫力將是我們的最佳疫苗！
Boosting immunity does not mean by popping a few Vitamin C tablets every now and then. It's the variety and quality of nutrients in your everyday diet that matters. A balanced meal should include a portion of protein, dietary fibre, plenty of micronutrients from your greens and some good fats. At my lunch today, I have the freshest veggie just harvested from my own farm, a bowl of authentic Filipino style congee with fish meat topped with half an hard-boiled egg. Just perfectly balanced!! Simple yet delicious!!
增強免疫力並不是每天要您吃一粒維生素C片。 重點放於您日常飲食中營養素的種類和質量。 均衡飲食應包括蛋白質，膳食纖維，蔬菜中的微量營養素和一些良好的脂肪。 今天我的午餐包括從我自家農場裡收穫的新鮮素菜，一碗正宗的菲律賓風味的魚肉粥，上面再添半隻熟雞蛋。 完美的均衡飲食！ 簡單而美味！
To assist with my gut absorption of these goodness in order to ensure my immunity is enhanced, I always have my fermented fruits and veg enzyme drinks before my meal.
The main role of enzymes in disease prevention (quoted from a report by Yoshio Morita, MD)
1. Condition our body environment - this includes adjusting our body to weakly alkaline, removing waste from the body, maintaining a balance of the gut bacteria, strengthening body cells, promoting digestion, strengthening the body immunity, and maintaining overall balance in all aspects.
2. Anti-inflammatory effect-Inflammation occurs when body cells are injured. To treat inflammation, enzymes transport white blood cells to fight with the bacteria at the injured area.
3. Antibacterial effect-Enzymes can promote the anti-inflammatory function of white blood cells, and it itself also has the antibacterial effect to kill bacteria. On the other hand, it promotes cell regeneration.
4. Decomposition-an important function of enzymes, it can remove waste accumulated in the inflamed area and in the blood vessels, in order to restore normal functions of the body cells. It can also help digest and absorb food.
5. Purify the blood-excrete waste in the blood, decompose the bacteria that causes inflammation, decompose the cholesterol in the blood, maintain our body at weakly alkaline condition, and keep the blood circulation healthy.
6. Cell renewal function-can promote cell metabolism, enhance physical strength, and promote the regeneration of damaged cells. For any disease, one must rely on their own immunity to fight the battle. The antibiotics can help us kill the germs, but cannot help us to reproduce new cells.
為了幫助腸道吸收這些均衡營養素，以確保我增強免疫力，每一餐前我會喝一杯鮮釀蔬果酵素。
酵素對於疾病防治的主要作用（摘自醫學博士森田義雄的報告）
1、整備體內環境－此項作用是使體內血液呈弱鹼性，清除體內廢物，保持腸內細菌平衡、強化細胞、促進消化、加強抵抗力，保持各方面平衡。
2、抗炎作用－發炎是部分細胞受傷的部位，細菌築巢生長，治療發炎，是酵素搬運白血球，使白血球功能良好，給予受傷的細胞力量。
3、抗菌作用－酵素可促使白血球殺菌，另外本身俱有抗菌作用能殺死細菌。另外一方面，也有促進細胞新生的作用，故可從根本上治病。
4、分解作用－酵素的重要功能，可清除患處或血管中聚積的廢物，恢復正常功能。還能幫助消化、吸收食物。
5、淨化血液－把血液中的廢物排出體外，分解發炎病毒，分解造成酸性血液的膽固醇，使血液呈現弱鹼性，永保血液循環暢通。
6、細胞新生作用－能促進細胞的新陳代謝，增強體力，促使遭受破壞的細胞新生。任何病患都一樣，要治療身體必須靠基本的自然治愈力，特效藥的抗生素可以殺死病菌，卻不能產生新細胞。
