Nowadays, we are exposed to many good foods and unfortunately, there are many occasions that good food is not healthy, that's what make it good. Especially when fast foods, instant coffee, and many fast-serving foods that may not properly follow food safety guide are quite common everywhere and it's pretty hard to avoid them when u have to take outside foods. This is pretty common for workers like us who usually need to depend on outside foods to save costs and time.

And time to time, as young adults who are healthy and we are equipped with the mindset that "if we don't eat now, then when?", we will have time when we would reward our body with good food to make us feel good. As well as times when we treat unhealthy foods as an ordinary meal just to fill up our stomach.

As time goes by, these foods serve as a silent killer that destroy our body bits by bits and usually we won't feel anything unless something really bad is happening, or already happened which can be too late.

So is there anything like, imagine an adult has been consuming unhealthy foods until like age 30-40 and he/she want to start eating healthy and really practice some healthy lifestyle, will the body able to get healthy again and those unhealthy foods that we consumed in the past may did little effect on us?

I don't have much idea of how all these things work, for me it's kind of logical that right now we consumed lots of unhealthy foods, then the effects would remain in our body no matter how much we consume healthy foods. It's like damage that already done to our body cannot be repaired. But is this really true?

Depends how much you are willing to spend, myself, my supplement cost is about RM 700 per month, and I look 10 years younger, in my 40s, but many times I am picked up by girls in their 30s

What supplement you take until RM700 per month. Pls dun say all your supplement is from such and such MLM company ah. I was thinking whether such supplements are useful at all because if you read about those centenarians or what not, we seldom read or hear that they take supplements at all let alone RM700 worth. Your thoughts?

It's like this la, ginseng alone would cost rm 200, reishi another rm 200, cordyceps, another rm 300, why not? Moreovet, my supplement case is targeted for kidney, liver and lungs 700 is kacang putih

A lot of people thinks that as long as willing to pay up, taking supplement will improve health. "Never stinge when it comes to health." My concern is - it is not about the money. I can pay RM700, no problem. I am not sure of the benefits of supplements because I came across at least one study saying supplementation of a particular vitamin increases risk of cancer. I forgot what vitamin is that. The thing is, we are not sure of the long term effects of supplementation. Is there any controlled study that says taking so many supplements increase life expectancy? Instead of taking supplements, for now, I am taking a balanced diet until further research or study points to confirmed benefits of vitmanins. Take ginseng for example which is long touted as a tonic good for health . Is there a study proving that people taking ginseng have increased life expectancy ?

Well, it's not about willing to pay or not, certain things are naturally expensive, actually all vitamins are capable of causing negative side effects when consumed in large dose.

Supplement is a convenient term coined by western medicine practitioners. In TCM is more specifically termed as body nourishment, we know that as we age, or key organ will become less efficient, hence we work on nutrition that focus on these aging organs.

Study on longevity have never yield any concrete conclusion, however, to age healthily, it concerns on the well being of oneself. You could have a 30 year old car that still runs, but runs with do much problem, or a well maintained 30 year old car that starts in one crank, just a simple analogy for understanding

Sorry, did not notice your question about ginseng, actually there are many studies about ginseng and is positive effects to the human body.

Sorry but u still assume taking ginseng and what not is resulting in a "well maintained body" but I am saying there is no proof of that. Of course you hear stories of how some rich old people being very healthy in old age due to purported ginseng or placenta or what not but there are also plenty more of average income people living healthily well into 90s without taking any supplements whether ginseng or vitamins. All I am saying is you might be spending rm700 for nothing. You could have done just as well without it. Of course, you could be benefitting from placebo effect which is enough justification for taking it , maybe. I have actually asked a few people over 85 to above 90 years old over the years and none of them take any form of supplements ...zilch... not even vitamin C....maybe they would be even healthier than they already are... or maybe they would have fared worse...who knows ...

Your remark: Sorry but u still assume taking ginseng and what not is resulting in a "well maintained body" but I am saying there is no proof of that.

Answer: LOL Sorry, you are still assuming that taking ginseng ans what's not will not result in a "well maintained body" and, there are studies outside there that have proven that ginseng and what's not have beneficial result for the body.


Your remark: Of course you hear stories of how some rich old people being very healthy in old age due to purported ginseng or placenta or what not but there are also plenty more of average income people living healthily well into 90s without taking any supplements whether ginseng or vitamins.

Answer: Nope, my belief is base on reports from medical journal and biomedical research reports - please google them yourself LOL


Your remark: All I am saying is you might be spending rm700 for nothing

Answer: LOL Not true and it's none of your business, the reply for the following remark explains all. (no money issit?)


Your remark: You could have done just as well without it. Of course, you could be benefitting from placebo effect which is enough justification for taking it , maybe. I have actually asked a few people over 85 to above 90 years old over the years and none of them take any form of supplements ...zilch... not even vitamin C....maybe they would be even healthier than they already are... or maybe they would have fared worse...who knows ...

Answer: Not true, my blood pressure gone to normal, along with my blood sugar (as tested with modern medical devices) and also other indicators that is offered by Pathlab have shown positive improvement, so, it's not placebo. LOL I have asked some 85 - 90 year old too, and they take a good regime of supplements and they are also healthier.


Final conclusion: Please read more, apparantly, you read very little and I will not reply to you anymore because you are wasting my time to read your assumptions about other people.
