Chrysanthemum and wolfberrie tea and Beetroot juice


Chrysanthemum and wolfberrie tea
For my work, I have to starring at the computer for long hours. Hence, I have been drinking Chrysanthemum and wolfberrie tea for years, at least every alternate day, which know to help with eyesight (sometime i will add in few red dates too). According to Chinese traditional medicine, both ingredients are said to be effective at improving eyesight and treating illness associated with the eyes like blurred vision and dizziness.  

 Wolfberries is used as a general Chinese tonic since ancient times to protect the liver, improve the vision, strenghten weak legs and promote a long life. It has the following benefits:Antioxidant - Wolfberries provide a high level of protection against the dangerous superoxide free radical.

  • Antioxidant - Wolfberries provide a high level of protection against the dangerous superoxide free radical.

  • Anti-Aging - wolfberry contains phytochemicals with antioxidant activity, it can slow down the aging process. A study showed that the fruits help to prevent oxidation of DNA and help restore damaged DNA! This suggests usefulness in cancer prevention and regression.

  • Vision Improvement - The Chinese have traditionally used wolfberries to help with vision problems, such as cataracts, retinopathy and macular degeneration. The fruits contain the phytochemicals lutein and zeaxanthin which neutralize free radicals formed by sunlight 

Chrysanthemum has powerful anti-oxidant. It is used to treat the eyes, blurring, spots in front of the eyes, diminished vision, dizziness and clear heatiness of the liver.

Read that...

"The health benefits of chrysanthemum tea are well known in China for thousands of years. Chrysanthemum tea has many purported medicinal uses, including an aid in recovery from influenza, acne and as a "cooling" herb. According to traditional Chinese medicine the tisane can aid in the prevention of sore throat and promote the reducing fever and cooling you down. In Korea, it is well known for its medicinal use for making people more alert and is often used to waken them. In western herbal medicine, Chrysanthemum tea is drunk and used as a compress to treat circulatory disorders such as varicose veins and atherosclerosis."

Beetroot Juices

For me 3 times a week I will have it by drinking beetroot alone (it has a very strong soil flavour which not many ppls will like, any other day I will mix with other fruits or veggies as beetroot juice is very potent, and it's recommended that you drink the raw juice diluted at least 4 times with other milder juices:-
  • Beet juice with carrot and celery (For a sweeter drink, add an apple, or use 2 apples instead of the carrots)
  • Beetroot juice with cucumber and pineapple (A fabulous cleansing drink which is best when consumed on an empty stomach. 
  •  Beetroot, carrot and apple juice (this mix can amazingly boost your energy levels) . 
This is the pure beetroot juice, which most of the time I drink it alone
  •  Vitamins: Beetroots are a good source of folic acid and vitamin C. It also contains small amounts of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene.
  • Minerals: Rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Also, smaller amounts of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium.
  • Amino Acids: While raw beets are mostly water and carbohydrate, they also contain small amounts of all the amino acids (protein).
  • Calories: One 2" (5cm) beetroot contains 35 calories.
  • Antioxidants: Its carotenoids and flavanoids can help reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol which could lead to damaged artery walls and ultimately heart attacks and strokes.
  • Anti-carcinogenic Color: The deep red color of beetroot comes from betacyanin. This prevents from colon cancer.
  • Silica: The rich stock of silica in it does perfect utilization of calcium in the body and is also required for healthy skin, hair, nails and bones. 

The popular research surveys suggest with assurance that drinking beetroot juice is possible be a simple way to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system and it has awesome benefits

The Magic of Beetroot Juice
  • An intake of one glass of beetroot juice daily can assuringly tame high blood pressure
  • It is claimed that beetroot juice has the ability to purify and build the blood, improve circulation and calm the nerves.
  • It also improves the health of the liver (being a great liver cleanser), kidneys, and bladder.
  • The juice is claimed to be beneficial in the treatment of gallstones and kidney stones.
  • It cleans the intestines and fights cancer.
  • For women, it improves the menstrual problems as well as cures anemia.
  • Regenerate the cells of the immune system,
  • It is traditionally used for curing eye fatigue & tiredness.
  • Along with treating skin problems, the juice is effective in dealing with weight loss problems.

Once a week, I will try to boil Snow Fungus dessert. Once a while I will let my girls have a little of these too.
Snow Fungus Dessert once a weekend

I also read that Snow (white) fungus is said to provide similar health and beauty benefits as bird nests, but is much affordable to most people. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), snow fungus is a good tonic for the elderly and especially helpful for those with weak respiratory and immune system. It nourishes the lungs and is effective as a home remedy to treat dry coughs, including a dry feeling in the throat.
Research has also shown that snow fungus contains health properties that help suppress cancer tumor growth, reduce high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Another huge reward you get from taking white fungus frequently is your skin stay beautifully clear, youthful and wrinkle-free due to its high collagen content. And because snow fungus is also a rich source of dietary fiber, it acts as a mild laxative to treat constipation naturally.
