Health Benefits of Omega-3’s

Essential Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for the body, holding a lot of benefits for the body and our central nervous system. The two well known Omega-3 fatty acids are DHA and EPA which is normally found in fatty fish.  But fortunately, Flodins Nordic farming methods and years of research into healthier eating have resulted in delicious Omega-3 pork. Note that the higher content of Omega-3's also makes the fat melt faster and is then infused in the meat creating juicy, succulent pork meat.

A Few of the Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

1. Fight against anxiety and depression. Omega-3 has the ability to reduce the signs of depression.  According to studies, people who consume foods that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as Flodins Omega-3 Pork, are less likely to experience depression.

2. Improves Eye Sight. Omega-3’s are a major component of the retina and the brain.  In the event that you do not have a steady supply of Omega-3, you could experience difficulty with your vision.  It is also linked to a lower probability of Macular degeneration that is related to blindness and other eye impairment.

3. Improve our Heart Health. Experts have realized that people who consume Omega 3-rich food have a lower record of heart attack and cardiovascular disease.  After that, it was uncovered that it has a lot of benefit for our heart, including the ability to decrease  levels of bad cholesterol.

4. Decrease inflammation. There are times that our body can experience inflammation even in the absence of infections and injuries. Based on research, Omega-3 fatty acids have the ability to reduce substances linked to inflammation.

Children find Refuge from HIV stigma in China

 

Children- who doesn’t love them?! The world would be a dull and colorless place without them.  But what about a place where children face stigma and disregard? It's horrible to even imagine such a thing possible, but to our dismay, it is true. Children living with HIV confront discrimination every day, particularly in China. They are expelled from schools and villages for presenting a huge risk to others. HIV Advocates, a prominent voice against stigma and HIV/AIDS, advocates people living with HIV and fights for their rights.

The rates of social stigma and discrimination in China are high, children living with HIV are often left all alone. But where there's darkness, kindness also dwells. A boarding school known as Green Harbor Red-Ribbon School in Linfen, China has provided refuge to many children living with HIV. The school, set up in 2006, houses up to 30 children from the ages between 6-19 years old. The level of awareness these children possess is mind-boggling. They fully comprehend their current situation and are well aware of how society perceives them. According to experts, the actual problem in China, is lack of awareness and education about the transmission and the effects of HIV.

But there's also some good news. China’s leaders have made recent high-profile efforts to combat HIV prejudice in recent years, like stepping up free treatment for AIDS patients and measures to prevent mothers from passing on HIV to their newborn children. HIV Advocates promotes awareness as well as education and treatments in collaboration with human right movements to eliminate the global discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS.

Eat Your Medicine: How Food Can Heal Your Body

The need for clean, natural food in its rawest most pure form is of great importance and farmers and manufactures need to take care to provide this. For example, Flodins prides their company on delivering only the purest, freshest and most natural food products to their consumers.  They have received their meat for years from farms in the Nordic region that has the highest standards in ethical farming, animal care and environmental awareness with no pollution present- “controlling every step from farm to fork.” This enabled them to create their prized Omega- 3 Pork, which over years of research they have made their pork more tender, flavorful, with a better texture and is much healthier to consume. 

Food, when it is grown without the use of growth propellers, pesticides and without environmental pollution, will be in its most pure form. Plant foods such as tomatoes, cabbage, garlic, and blueberries all carry what is called phytonutrients, which are molecules that act like triggers for your DNA to help fight off diseases and make your body healthier. Nutrigenomics is teaching us that our food can actually talk to our DNA and act as an on/off switch to our genes that either may lead to health or disease.

The white group such as garlic and onions contain the tumor-busting allicin. Spinach and collard greens are in the yellow and green group of plant food, and they contain carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin which wards of cataracts and possibly atherosclerosis. Lycopene found in red plant foods like tomatoes help rid the body of free radicals. Cantaloupes and pumpkins can ward of cancer with alpha-carotene, and the beta-carotene they provide can actually repair damaged DNA.  

To sum up, the amazing molecules in all foods delivered by reputable, ethical farmers- like Flodins- help you stay healthy and strong. Hippocrates may have said it best; “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

Ways to Be A Good Trans-Ally

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." 

Love is the biggest asset of any human being, but it ceases to exist in society due to discrimination, hate, and stigmatization of various groups. Everyone deserves to be loved no matter what ethnicity, nation, religious group, etc they belong to. The society in which we live finds it hard to accept these groups and develops a zero tolerance for them. HIV Advocates is an enterprise which advocates the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS and LGBTI communities. Their mission is to develop love and create a respectable place for these stigmatised communities in society.

Nowadays, the trend of discrimination seems to focus on the gender bias. The transgender community is continually subjected to sheer violence and segregated from the society. To reduce this gender-based hate, one must play a role by becoming a trans-ally. Calling Transgenders by the pronouns and names they prefer is the biggest act of respect for anyone, especially for your trans friend. Education and awareness through media can open people's eyes and show them the reality of the transgender life. Just like everyone else, they need freedom of choice and support, not harassment and judgement. Last but not least; be sure to show them respect and include them in your daily life. To be a good trans ally, you must respect their personal right to disclose or hide their identity.   

HIV Advocates aims for a society where all are treated as humans and shown love and equal respect - as only love can drive out hate.

The Easiest Way to Eat Better While Travelling

 

No matter the reason you travel, whether for vacation or for a business, travelling can lead to unhealthy eating. Avoiding temptations (unhealthy foods!) can be a huge challenge. However, ChewsWize’s yummy treats can help you to snack healthy on the go, wherever you are! Read on for a few great tips on how to eat better when  travelling.

The easiest way to eat better while you are travelling is to pack your own food. At the moment, you are able to take foods on nearly all forms of transportation. This saves you a lot of money and means that you are able to eat healthy. Think about snacks and foods that are easy to carry, and are temperature safe. If you are flying, you will have to have all of your food packed, wrapped or in a container. Luckily, the healthy snacks from ChewsWize come in their own containers!

Some of the best travel foods and snacks are items like dried fruit and nut mixes. There are many options for what can be in the mix, and ChewsWize carries many options. The protein, fibre and essential good fats in the nuts will fill you up and keep you full of longer than other snacks. Dried fruits with no added sugar are a great substitute for sugary candies. They keep your blood sugar levels up and do not have the same drop as other sweet snack options.

Another part of eating better while you are traveling is to stay hydrated. Many times, people think they are hungry when they are thirsty. Being dehydrated leads to headaches, fatigue, reduced concentration, and muscle camps. By keeping water and snacks on you, you are much less likely to end up buying and eating unhealthy foods. When you are looking for health snack options for your next trip, or an easy way to snack at work or school- definitely check out ChewsWize’s many great tasting, healthy snacks.

Asian Youth Orchestra’s Rich History

To achieve a higher goal or make a dream come true, one must proceed by taking a step in its direction. This first step leads to the achievement of higher goals and dreams start becoming a reality.  Music conductor and teacher, Richard Pontzious, dreamed of a music academy in Asia some time ago. With the coordination of the co-founder Yehudi Menuhin, he finally founded the Hong Kong –based Asian Youth Orchestra in 1987.

During his stay and work in Asian countries like China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, Richard Pontzious felt a need of an orchestra to unite the Asian regions. The reason: to bring forward the young musical talent on a global platform. As a result of Mr. Pontzious's strenuous efforts, the Asian Youth Orchestra gained fame for its bright and artistic youth.  Mr. Pontzious was the first international musician to be invited to China after years of the Cultural Revolution in the 1980s. Over the urge of Sergiu Comissiona, he was appointed as the artistic director and conductor at the Asian Youth Orchestra. Furthermore, Mr. Pontzious's outstanding conduction at the 20th anniversary of the Asian Youth Orchestra gathered 5000 music fans. Critics spoke of the Asian Youth Orchestra as the finest youth orchestra in the world! Since its establishment, Asian Youth Orchestra has collaborated with various international artists and musicians like James Judd, Wang Jian, Yo-Yo Ma, Alisa Weilerstein, Elmar Oliveira, Gidon Kremer, Elly Ameling and many others.

Under the supervision of Mr. Pontzious and the gifted faculty, the orchestra was awarded the global arts prize in 2010. Moreover, having a successful past, the Asian Youth Orchestra continues to tour television and radio broadcasts, performing at Beijing’s National Centre for Performing Arts, the Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre, the Xian Concert Hall, Kuala Lumpur’s Dewan Petronas Filharmonik and many others. The melodious and rich history of the  Asian Youth Orchestra reflects its shining success in the present days while continuing to bring innovative music to its listeners.
