Dr. Oz推荐的天然成分 Natural Ingredients recommended by Dr. Oz

Dr. Oz is an influential figure in recommending supplements. Recently, Dr. Oz has put his stamp of approval in some well-known botanical, he and Dr. Roizen said turmeric, saw palmetto and garlic are generally safe and have scientific backing. Let's take a look at some of the natural ingredients recommended by Dr. Oz:

1. Turmeric, a well known spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine and also a natural yellowish coloring. Turmeric is able to subside inflammation of ulcerative colitis when taken with standard medications, according to Dr. Oz. Other benefits on turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties including bone and joint health.

6. Astaxanthin, Dr. Oz: "the No. 1 supplement you've never heard of that you should be taking". Taking regularly help in improving eye and cardiovascular health while reducing signs of aging and serving as an anti-inflammatory.   
7. Raspberry ketones, the aromatic components in raspberries. Have been linked with weight-loss, increasing body metabolism by regulating adiponectin (a protein that controls the metabolism). In turn, help body to burn fat faster.

Dr. Oz 在营养保健品界中，是一位具有影响力的人物。最近，他和另一位医生 Dr. Roizen 都认为姜黄，塞润榈和大蒜，大致上是安全和有科学依据的。接下来，让我们来看看一些 Dr. Oz 所建议的天然成分：

1. 姜黄，在印度及中东料理中被广泛使用的香料，也是天然的黄色素。根据 Dr. Oz, 当与药物一起服用时，姜黄可击退溃疡性结肠炎的炎症。姜黄的抗炎特性还带来其他的健康益处，当中包括骨骼和关节的健康。
2. 芦荟，一个普遍的成分，有助于舒缓，降温和滋润受刺激的肌肤。两位医生都认为，芦荟和一些处方药物相比，对轻度皮肤烧伤可能更有效！
3. 塞润榈，含有丰富的脂肪酸和植物甾醇。医生建议，它可用于治疗良性前列腺增生症。
4. 大蒜，有助于改善高血压和胆固醇，也可能会放缓动脉硬化的速度。在可改善和控制的前提下，医生推荐大蒜。
5. 磷虾油，比鱼油含有更多的Omega-3脂肪酸，Dr. Oz 认为是“更强和更快”的选择。此外，比鱼油更有效的对抗疾病。
6. 虾青素，Dr. Oz 说：“是您没听说过，最应该服用的保健品”。经常服用有助于提高眼睛和心血管的健康，同时减少的迹象老化，也具有抗炎功效。
7. 覆盆子酮，是赋予覆盆子香味的成分。提高身体的新陈代谢，调节脂联素（一种控制新陈代谢的蛋白质）有助于减轻体重，帮助身体更快地燃烧脂肪。
8. 人参，一个有着许多健康好处的传统草药，当中包括增强免疫系统，减轻压力和提神功效。

DNA diets 营养基因餐

Do you know that we are 99.6% identical to someone besides us, but the 0.4% is enough in differentiating us when it comes to risk of developing chronic diseases?

你知道吗，我们和身边的人有着99.6％的相似度？但谈到患上慢性疾病的风险时，那区区的0.4％已经足够将我们区分。

Nutrigenetics or nutrigenomics, a young and emerging area in the field of nutrition, is an area that explore the association between the nutrient-gene interactions and health maintenance and the risk of developing certain chronic disease. Although some argue that the scope of nutrigenetics should be on promoting healthy eating, improve upon standard guidelines as applied to individual, rather than preventing specific disease or curing disease. 

营养基因学，是一个颇新的营养学领域，探索着基因和健康之间的关系，是否某些基因会增加某些慢性疾病的风险等等的课题。有些人则认为，营养基因学应该用于推广健康饮食，提高个人专属的标准指引，而不是用于防止或治疗疾病。

However there are always exploitation behind everything. There are companies that are trying to cash in via DNA diets. All you need to do is to send your DNA to them, they run the analysis, tell you your genetic variations associated with increased risk of disease A, B, C and advise you on change in diet.

世事总难免被滥用。有些公司正试图利用‘营养基因餐’ 来捞上一笔。你只需要提供你的 DNA，他们将会替你进行​​分析。然后告诉你，你的基因遗传会增加你患上疾病A，B，C的风险，从而建议你改变饮食习惯。

Experts have expressed concern over this commercial interests as they are just staring to learn and know even less about the extent to which we can modify this risk through specific diet interventions. Secondly, you will most probably be getting four different results whereby your 'DNA sample' will be sent to four different DNA-based diet firms for analysis. Most importantly, the tests are not validated, test quality and result becomes a big question mark. If you happened to come across a 'personalized nutrition plan based on your own DNA', think twice.  

专家对这个商业利益表示担忧，因为到目前为止，营养基因学仍然在了解的阶段，针对可否因改善特定的饮食习惯而减少罹患某些疾病风险，仍然不明确。不但如此，这些公司将会把你的DNA样本发送到四间以‘营养基因餐’挂号的公司进行分析，所以你很有可能会得到四个不同的结果。最重要的是，这些测试都没有被验证过，测试结果的可信度更成了最大的问号。如果你碰上了“根据自己DNA量身定造的营养计划”，请三思而后行。

Safe & effective for anti-aging - Rice ceramides 大米神经酰胺， 安全和有效的抗衰老

Do you feel that your skin is not as good as before, after age of 25? In fact, starting from age 20, our skin becomes thinner and more susceptible to environmental pollutants. Studies showed that ceramides content in skin declines with age and quantity of ceramides was lower in atopic dermatitis, dry skin and aged individual. What exactly is ceramide?

您是否有感觉到25岁后，皮肤已没有以前的好？其实，从20岁开始，我们的肌肤已经开始慢慢变薄，也更容易受到环境因素影响。研究显示，肌肤内的神经酰胺含量会随着年龄的增长而下降。而相对中，过敏性皮炎，皮肤干燥和老化的肌肤，神经酰胺的含量更是少。到底什么是神经酰胺？

Ceramides are the major constituent (40~60%) of Stratum corneum lipids (Stratum corneum is the outer most layer of epidermis). They play important roles in skin barrier function. Maintaining moisture under skin and preventing harmful substances from penetrating into skin. Ceramides is the key for healthy youthful looking skin. What will happened when ceramides content is reduced? Our biggest nightmare - appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!!!

神经酰胺是角质层脂质中（角质层是表皮的最外层）的最主要成分（占40〜60％）。在肌肤保湿层扮演着重要的角色。维持肌肤中的水分和防止有害物质渗透肌肤。神经酰胺是保持年轻肌肤的关键。当神经酰胺含量减少时，会对肌肤造成什么影响？细纹和皱纹的出现！这将会是恶梦的开始。

So where are ceramides from? Mostly synthetically made or animal origin. Comparatively to animal products, rice ceramides appear to be a safer option. Not to forget that it is grown naturally, consisting the goodness of nature minus the chemical from laboratory.


那么神经酰胺是取之于那里呢？大多是由化学物制造或取之于动物。相比于动物产品，取之于大米是一个更安全的选择。加上是天然生长的植物，比起‘制造于实验室’的制造品，多了一份大自然的益处。
