你知道肝有多重要吗？它是人体消化系统中最大的消化腺和最重要的解毒器官之一，每天身体里无数毒素要通过肝脏排泄殆尽，重要程度不言而喻。然而情绪、睡眠、饮食都能轻易影响肝的疏通功能，跟肝脏有关的疾病一直引起全世界高度关注，不过加拿大这个国家却气定神闲。大数据表明困扰无数中国家庭的肝病在加拿大并不流行，这很大程度上归功于加拿大人很有养生保健的意识，而每天吃两粒奶蓟草就是他们护肝的重要法器。

奶蓟草(Milk Thistle)有着非常美丽的民间传说，圣母玛利亚哺乳时，曾不小心将乳汁滴到这植物的叶上，才令叶脉流出乳汁，又称其为圣玛丽草，这极具宗教意味的美丽名字意喻着上苍恩赐、疗效非凡之意。如今奶蓟草又被人们称乳剂草，花冠紫红色，盛开时非常漂亮且朝气蓬勃，茎和叶片被切开时会流出乳白色的组织液，故此得名。

经过两千多年的历史沉淀，奶蓟草被用于治疗各种疾病，除了治疗肾脏和胆囊问题外，奶蓟草还是治疗肝脏问题的第一把好手。肝脏是人体消化系统中最大的消化腺和最重要的解毒器官之一，每天身体里无数毒素要通过肝脏排泄殆尽，重要程度不言而喻。奶蓟草不仅能稳定肝脏细胞膜，维持肝细胞的完整性，使毒性无法穿透破坏肝脏，还能加速制造新的肝脏细胞，并促进受损的肝脏细胞自行修复再生。

在这个污染日益严重的社会奶蓟草无疑是不可或缺的保健品，加拿大本土品牌Total Natural采用了先进的工艺对产品进行严格的选材和生产，在加拿大一直广受用户好评。Total Natural的奶蓟草成分均为高纯度高含量提取物，其中提炼出的护肝卫士水飞蓟浓度为78%，正是黄金比例，此外还提取了精选的纯天然草本植物，让功效性更强，素食者也可食用。护肝是人生的必修课，通过奶蓟草的帮助，相信健康与你常伴。

We can't ignore the importance of liver in the human body. It's constantly working as a filtration system, helping our body flush out toxins and harmful ingredients before they can cause any damage. Prescription medications, alcohol, smoking, and other unhealthy life choices can hurt our liver easily.

Milk thistle is basically a flowering herb with a vibrant purple flower and the white veins inside the plant's leaves. According to ancient mythology, the milky substance inside the leaves first originated from a drop of the Virgin Mary's milk. Other names sometimes attributed to Milk Thistle include lady's thistle, Mary thistle and holy thistle. It is also commonly referred to as Silybum silymarin. This ingredient has actually been used for medicinal purposes for more than 2000 years, and it is still considered to be one of the best supplements in the entire world.

The function of Milk Thistle is extremely powerful, it has ability to both protect the liver from potential toxins and help regenerate healthy cells. It has been found useful in a variety of liver and gall bladder conditions such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, gall stones, fatty liver and poisoning.

Canadian native brand Total Natural is a brand with advanced technology and high quality products, Total Natural milk thistle ingredients include high purity of Silybum marianum (78%) and selected pure natural herbs. Take 1 capsule 2 times daily, in the morning and evening. Use for minimum of 3 weeks to see beneficial effects. It's a perfect way to love your liver.

人的心脏每天搏动100000次，是人体中能量需求最多的组织。而作为能量因子的辅酶Q10在心脏中的充足供应，是保证心脏这种高强度搏动正常良好运行的基础。研究也证实，在人体组织中，心脏中的辅酶Q10含量最高。如在心肌组织中辅酶Q10的含量为真皮层的10倍以上。

辅酶Q10于1957年被发现，1958年，辅酶Q10研究之父——美国得克萨斯大学的卡鲁福鲁卡斯博士认定了其化学结构，并因此获得了美国化学学会的最高荣誉——Priestly Medal，在实际生活中，他40多年坚持服用Q10，直到91岁去世。这也使得他一直被公认为精力最充沛的教授之一。

但人体自身合成辅酶Q10的能力是随着年龄而改变的。20岁时，人体内的辅酶Q10水平达到颠峰。此后开始逐年下降，其中心脏中的辅酶Q10浓度减少特别明显，到40岁时仅为20岁时的一半，77岁老人比20岁的年轻人心肌中的辅酶Q10减少了57%。

研究显示，人体血液中的辅酶Q10水平一旦减少25%，体内的主要器官（尤其是心脏）就会因为能量不足而无法维持最佳运作状态。如果减少75%，生命就会终止。

这也就解释了为什么人年轻时心脏强劲有力，而步入中老年后，心脏功能衰退，各种心脏方面的疾病也开始发生。

那么，有没有办法解决这种问题，实现"60岁的身体，20岁的心脏"呢？

研究显示，通过补充外源性辅酶Q10，可以有效解决人体自身合成不足造成的辅酶Q10水平下降，提高心脏中辅酶Q10浓度水平，保证心脏细胞能量供应，显著提升心肌的带氧量，对心脏功能有很好的改善效果，且可以延长心肌寿命。日本研究表明，连续服用10年辅酶Q10，人体内脏不会发生明显老化，能起到延缓衰老作用。 同时，辅酶Q10作为抗氧化剂，在预防致动脉硬化的低密度脂蛋白（LDL）的氧化上非常有效，可以清除血管内过氧化脂质，降低胆固醇，预防和抑制动脉硬化。

Natural fruits or vegetables like tomatoes, watermelons are full of lycopene which is one of the strongest natural antioxidant. It’s also a generally recognized anti-aging substance to defense free radical, physically remove the rubbish and keep the body healthy.

Some scientists predict that antioxidant will help people to extend 30%-50% of their lives. Europeans and Americans are never stop studying lycopene. Researchers asked patients to take lycopene for 4 weeks and their LDL decreased dramatically. Also, compare to cholesterol-lowering drugs, lycopene doesn’t have any side-effect and plays an important role on preventing stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Many studies of healthy meals are based on observation of people in Mediterranean regions. You will find ketchup served at every meal and they have less chance to have cardiovascular diseases and cancer. This is all relying on lycopene. The “Times” magazine in the US used to place tomato as the best food which contribute on human health and lycopene is also called “Plants Gold”.

Research shows that, The body can only digest 0.05mg lycopene by taking a fresh tomato. However, our bodies need at least 20mg lycopene every day to prevent prostate disease, protect heart and brain, slow the effects of ageing, protect the skin etc. According to this, people need to eat 300 fresh tomatoes every day to get that much lycopene, and that's obviously impossible.

So what's the best way to take lycopene? The tomato juices on the market are all added with food color, reductant or oxidant, that's why the color is pure red and the juice and fresh are mixed. Having fresh tomatos can get a lots of vitamin C, kalium and dietary fiber, which is good for preventing cardiovascular disease and fat. but you can't get all the lycopene and carotene in that tomato, unless you cook it and add a lot of oil, but lots of oil is obvisously not good for health. Nutritionists indicated that the best way to take lycopene is to choose a good brand of lycopene product. Total Natural's lycopene product contains 5mg lycopene per softgel which is made of 15 fresh tomatoes. Taking it by instruction can eliminate free radicals, lower cholesterol levels and heart diseases, prevent cancers, especially prostate cancer.

 

 

 

番茄紅素富含于番茄、西瓜等天然果蔬中，是目前已知的自然界最強的抗氧化劑之一，它是國際公認的抗衰老物質，可有效捕捉萬病之源的自由基，清除身體垃圾，讓生命穩定在活躍的健康狀態中。

科學家預言抗氧化劑在未來可將人的壽命延長30%—50%。歐美國家對番茄紅素的研究一直在持續推進。專家曾這樣做過實驗：連續4周讓他們每天服用番茄紅素補充劑，患者的低密度膽固醇大幅降低，同時比降血脂藥物減少了副作用，證實番茄紅素對預防中風和心血管疾病效果顯著。在蜚聲中外的地中海健康飲食中，番茄醬是每餐必備， 居民的心血管疾病和腫瘤的發病率明顯偏低，番茄紅素的作用功不可沒。美國《時代》曾將番茄列爲對人類健康貢獻最大的食品之首，將番茄紅素譽爲“植物黃金”。

調查表明，吃一個生番茄，人體只能吸收0.05mg的番茄紅素，但人體每天要攝取20mg的番茄紅素才能達到它防治前列腺疾病、保護心腦、延緩衰老、美容 美膚的效果。按照這個定量，每人每天要吃進300個新鮮番茄才能滿足，這顯然是不可能的。

那該如何攝取蕃茄紅素才好呢？市面上的包裝蕃茄汁都是添加了色素，以及還原劑或氧化劑，顏色才會這麼紅，且能維持果水融合的狀態。生吃番茄能獲得其中維生素C、鉀和膳食纖維，對于預防心血管疾病和預防肥胖是有利的，但是不能充分吸收其中的番茄紅素和胡蘿蔔素，除非熟食番茄並加入大量油脂，細細咀嚼才行。而加很多脂肪顯然會升高能量（熱量），妨礙番茄的健康效益。營養學家表示，攝取番茄紅素一項選最佳擇是：從市面上含量較高的番茄紅素産品中，選擇好的名牌。Total Natural的茄紅素膠囊每粒含有5mg茄紅素，是由15個新鮮蕃茄經過發酵、熟成處理後所萃取之抗氧化物質。按說明服用即可迅速消除自由基，降低膽固醇與心臟疾病，預防癌症，特別是攝護腺癌。
