* Special note:  (Mar 20) **********

I have done a search on JD.Com (used to be 360buy.com)

http://search.jd.com/Search?keyword=面条机&enc=utf-8

RMB 699 seems to be the official price.

I have also done a search on sunning.com, the listed only RMB 689 which is closed to the price I bought.

* Special note:  (Mar 19) **********

A search on Taobao and sorted by REPUTATION.  

http://s.taobao.com/search?spm=a230r.1.8.4.5Q7rNu&promote=0&sort=credit-desc&tab=all&q=%BE%C5%D1%F4%C3%E6%CC%F5%BB%FA&rsclick=1#J_relative

If you search by sold volume.  There is this RMB499 version.  Which I think it may be a “refurbish” model.  So, you may not want to get that (my recommendation).  But if you feel comfortable and wanted to save $50, I guess you can get that.  Because so many people has bought it.

* Special Note:  (Mar 18) **********

Since this is a big item, 团购 will be meaning less as the shipping charges is proportionate to the weight of the total weight.

Group purchasing is good when you want to buy small things and you tumpang on other people purchases.

If you are interested to buy one, you can send your request to my Taobao Agent, Amy Li.

Her email is cinagoods@hotmail.com

You can cut and paste the web site to choose which one to buy.

I buy from this store.  It is a Joyoung (Jiu Yang) specialised store.  And it is on TMall.

It is RMB 699.  I felt safer.  I used it once, no problem.

Of course, if you already have an existing account with Taobao, you can buy directly too.  

******** End or Note: ******

Today, we have a new gadget.  I bought this from Taobao.  And it arrives today.

The machine is quite big.  It looks like this.

It says 15 minutes you can 1) make the noodle, and 2) cook the noodle.  The noodle making process is only takes 6-7 minutes.

Let’s make noodle now.

We need either Plain Flour or All purpose Flour.  Next time, I will use Organic Flour. :)

Let’s make our first bowl of noodle.  Measuring.

We need exactly 200g of plain flour.

YES Jay!  Flour + Water = Noodle.

Next, we need water.

Exactly 70ml of water.

Pour the flour into the noodle maker.  And press Auto.

And noodle machine start mixing the flour.

Next which is very important.  Pour in the 70ml of water VERY SLOWLY.

Yes, have to do it very slowly so that the noodle will not stick to each other.

The mixer turn INWARDS initially.  Suddenly, it beeps.  And the mixer change direction.

So, when the mixer turn OUTWARDS, it pushes the flour into the hole.

It is amazing.

Quickly prepare a plate and put some flour on it to receive the noodles.

Her comes the noodles.

Wow!  It is indeed amazing.   This is so cool.  Making own noodles is awesome!  hahaha

From time to time, sprinkle some flour onto the noodle.  

It’s warm.

Here comes the first coil of noodle.

So, for 200g of flour, it makes about 2 plates of noodles.

Of course, my pot is cook with hot water, and straight away, we put the noodle into the hot water with olive oil and salt.

3-4 minutes later, restrain it with cold water.  (Wash away the excess flour)

1.  normal oil a bit.

2.  sesame oil a bit.

3.  soya sauce a bit.

4.  abalone sauce a bit.

5.  green onions a bit.  (cut some) 

6.  white pepper a bit.

7.  salt a bit.

Pour in the noodles, and mix it well.

This is the noodle I cooked using the fresh home made noodles.

As always, my biggest fan says “Very delicious!”.

So, from now on, we going to make our own noodles and we no longer want to buy instant noodles or those form the organic stores.  :)

Take a look at the youtube advertisement.  It is amazing.

Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/v/yQasZxNK-ts

I bought this from Taobao.  I bought the N6 (latest) model.

http://search.taobao.com/search?q=%C3%E6%CC%F5%BB%FA+%BE%C5%D1%F4

The cheapest is RMB449.  (About SGD$90).  It weight about 5-6KG.  

But I am very scare of this sort of cheap price place.  So, I bought it from a much expensive store, 

which I know it is a good reputation store for Jiu Yang products in TMall.  It cost RMB 699.  But it is up to you to choose which one to buy.

Tip:  Buy the one a lot of people bought.

This is the operation manual.

It is so easy to use.  They don’t even have a lot to say in the making noodle section.

You can make for 3-4 people which is the maximum.

Got quality check too.

Their manual is so simple, because it is easy to make the noodle.

So, they mind as well give a booklet to teach people how to COOK noodles.  hahahaha

The noodle machine can make 6 types of different noodles.  

Very cool!

Oh ya.  You can make spinach noodle, or carrot noodles and so on too.

Amazing machine.  I like!

The patented Biophotonic Scanner is one of the method to determine how much anti-oxidant level you have in your body.  This is the one I am taking since last October until know.

Last year, october, I got mine scanned.  And I scored a way below average scores.

Yesterday, I went to get mine scanned again.  And I have become much better with whatever I am eating now.  I feel great, and have not got flu for almost a year, and I know my anti-oxidant is increasing.  Yeah!  Let's try to increase more.

More coming...

Amazing Benefits of Bananas

Date:  Jul 27, 2013

What I learned today is valuable.  Thanks Google.

1.  Banana is good for woman.  Hahaha  When your girl friends or wife act very moody, you know it is that time.  Buy lots of Banana for them or her.

2.  I did not know that when the banana has a lot of dark patches on the yellow skin, it is actually the best time to eat it as it has TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) which combat abnormal cells.  When I choose banana to eat, I always choose the nice nice skin one.  Actually the skin that is old, dark patches is the one we should eat.  HaHaHaHa

3.  I also don't know Banana peel (skins) can clean your teeth and whiten it.  HaHaHaHa

Good and amazing info.

TEN GREAT REASONS TO DRINK LEMON WATER!AND 10 Benefits of Juicing Lemons
We all know or have been told that drinking lemon water first thing in the morning is especially good for cleansing the liver and to kick start our digestive system, and it is completely true, but lemon water does much more than that. 10 Reasons You Should Drink Lemon Water >Drink Lemon Water in the morning for health and vitality! 
Here is the top 10, out of many, benefits of drinking lemon water.

1. Boosts your immune system: Lemons are high in vitamin C and potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances pH: Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes, lemon has citric acid but it does not create acidity in the body once metabolized, so, you’ll reduce your body’s overall acidity.

3. Helps with weight loss: To fight hunger cravings maintain a more alkaline diet, this is because lemons are high in pectin fiber.

4. Aids in digestion: It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that required for digestion, which reduces heartburn and constipation.

5. Is a diuretic: Lemons increase the rate of urination in the body, which helps purify it from toxins, therefore, helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears skin: Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well, this is thanks to the vitamin C component, which helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes.

7. Freshens breath: The citric acid can kill the bacteria, so it can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis.

8. Relieves respiratory problems: Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and halt those pesky coughs.

9. Keeps you zen: Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when your mind and body are subjected to stress, and in the lives we lead, who is not?

10. Helps kick the coffee habit: Normally after a glass of hot lemon water, you don’t crave coffee in the morning. Try it yourself!

The recipe is really simple - a cup of warm water (not hot) and the juice from half of a lemon.

1o BENEFITS JUICING LEMONS
Lemons are the topic of the day. I always loved the taste of lemons, especially in my green juices.

1. Antibacterial

When you ingest lemon juice the acid from the lemon juice acts as a antibacterial force inside your stomach.

You can also use lemons to clean your cutting boards and counters.


2. Vitamin C

Besides boosting your immune system, vitamin C helps destroy H. pylori, which is a type of bacteria in your stomach. H. pylori is being research for it's ability to cause stomach ulcers.

Here is a great stomach and gut tonic. This will help you go to the restroom and it will help your stomach fight off any unwanted bacteria like H. pylori. The tonic includes: 1 cup of warm water, 1/2 lemon (juiced), 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed.

3. Alkalize the Body

Believe it or not but lemon are alkalizing for the body. Many people think since lemons are sour they are actually acidic inside your body. Inside your body lemons don't act acidic, instead they have alkalizing properties that keep your pH balance.

It's best to start your day with warm water and lemon juice.

4. Liver Cleanser

Lemons help stimulate your liver and helps flush out toxins like uric acid and also liquefies the bile. This is part of the reason why lemons are used as a great cleanser.

5. Vitamin P

Vitamin P is a flavonoids. Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that help neutralize free radials associated with cellular damage and aging. Flavonoids also help reduce inflammation.
6. Anti-cancer Properties

Lemons contain 22 anti-cancer properties like limonine which slows the growth of tumors. (1)
7. Protection Against Rheumatoid Arthritis

Osteoarthritis is a type of degenerative disease that occurs with aging. Foods rich in vitamin C helps protect agains inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
8. Cleans You Out and Aids in Digestion

Lemon juice like most fresh vegetable juices contain pectin fiber. Pectin fiber is a type of water soluble fiber that helps reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Another great thing about pectin is that it keeps you feeling full and reduces cravings.
9. Natural Diuretic

Lemon juice and warm water also help increase the rate of urination. This is great because toxins and other harmful substances are pushed out of your body, leaving your body in a alkaline state.
10. Hydration of Lymph System

Warm water and lemon juice supports the immune system by hydrating and replacing fluids lost by your body. When your body is deprived of water, you can definitely feel the side effects, which include: feeling tired, sluggish, decreased immune function, constipation, lack of energy, low/high blood pressure, lack of sleep, lack of mental clarity and feeling stressed just to name a few.

When you have these symptoms it might mean that your adrenals are “fatigued.” Your adrenals function in secreting necessary hormones, regulating stress response, regulating blood pressure and much more. So keep your adrenals happy by staying hydrated.

***Remember lemons and lemon juice can strip off the enamel from your teeth.

Add lemons to your favorite green juices!

Why do you need to alkalises your body??

三十多年前有一位服務於公賣局台北啤酒廠的張先生，
參加該啤酒場選派技朮人員到國外深造的考試，
以優異的成績及格。

在出國前經某公立醫院體檢發現，

罹患有像小孩拳頭大小的肺部腫瘤，因而不能出國。

張先生非常失望之餘，一直懷疑診斷有誤﹔

於是再到另一家醫院檢查，結果還是証實原來的診斷并無錯誤。

當時年輕力壯的張先生得到這樣的絕症，在人生絕望之餘，

多次打電話給當時任職台東縣政府黃順興縣長機要秘書的
魏姓同學。

魏姓同學便利用星期日趕到台北和張先生見面，

張先生向魏同學詳述相關絕望的詳情和悲觀感受。
并請位同學協助其後事，
恰逢魏同學與前任馬偕醫院院長1949－55

專精於癌症臨床研究的呂革令博士）系知交好友。

當即建議前往訪求呂博士醫治，
起初張先生說不愿再看醫生，以免徒增傷悲。

但魏同學說先前已以電話請教過呂博士并安排好時間，
張先生只好偕同前往呂博士住處造訪。

呂博士和張先生見面就說：「魏先生是我的好友，

介紹你和我認識是我們緣份，感謝上帝賜給我們這個機會。

我請教你：『癌為什麼叫絕症，你可知道嗎？』」
張先生和魏先生都不知道如何作答。

呂博士又說：
「人類醫治癌症到目前為止只有兩條路，
第一條路是消滅病源，第二條路是增加抵抗力。

但很奇怪的是，癌無論用鈷60或其他藥物去消滅癌細胞，
可是癌細胞還沒被消滅，好的細胞卻先被殺死。

另無論用什麼營養、補藥，好的細胞還未吸收，
癌細胞卻先吸收、讓癌長得更快﹔
因此可說上述兩條路都行不通、所以叫絕症。」

呂博士又說：人類的聰明連登陸月球也都已經成功，

但為什麼沒有人去懷疑上述兩條治癌的路是在鑽牛角尖，
另外找第三條路？

感謝上帝賜給我以往在馬偕醫
院做癌症方面的臨床實驗，
并得院內各部同仁協助的機會，

我發現癌症病人血液檢查的結果百分之百都是酸性反應。

長期素食、且生活接近然的佛寺僧尼，

由於體質都偏屬優質弱鹼性，生活接近自然的佛寺僧尼，

由於體質都偏屬優質弱鹼性，所以尚沒有發現罹患癌症的病例。

因此我大膽的斷定在弱鹼性體質的狀態下，
癌細胞是無法生長、甚至是無法生存的。

張先生我建議你從現在起少吃酸性的葷食類，多吃鹼性食物，

另外可吃綠藻和帶殼菱角湯，改變你的體質，
并勵行接近自然的良好生活規律﹔

如果五年內不死、你就沒問題了，愿上帝祝福你。」

張先生依照呂博士的建議，認真改變吃的習慣，

每天又吃綠藻、喝菱角湯，樂觀加上每天適當的運動，
一年後再到同一公立醫院檢查結果，
發現腫瘤不但沒有長大、反而已呈現萎縮狀態，
遂令醫院檢查人員驚為奇跡，
五年後竟完全處於萎縮、至近於消失狀態。

經過了將近四十年歲月，現在張先生的健康情況完全正常，

生活起居甚為愉快。

繼張先生之後，有位前台東省立醫院總務課長陳添壽先生，

同樣得到肺癌﹔
魏先生得知後將張先生的經過轉告陳添壽先生，
陳先生乃依照呂博士的建議進行改變體質，
結果與張先生同樣愈癌症。

那時呂博士全家已移民美國，
事後呂博士回來台灣再與魏先生見面時，
魏先生將張先生和陳先生的經過告訴呂博士，
并提議由他們倆位親自向呂博士陳述，
請呂博士發表其改變體質之自療成果報告。

呂博士謙虛地回答說：我年事已大，
況且沒有臨床紀錄不能做為成果。
請魏先生轉告親友，如果友人認同的話，
請他們繼續做體驗并廣為宣導........。」

關心自己也要關心別人，85％癌症病患屬於酸性體質

＊健康人的血液是成弱鹼性的，約是PH7.35～7.45左右
＊嬰兒也是屬於弱鹼性的體質
＊成長期的成人有體質酸化的現象
根據一項六百位癌症病人體液分布的研究，
顯示85％癌症病患屬於酸性體質。

因此，如何使體質維持在弱鹼性就是遠離疾病的第一步。

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
酸性體質的生理表徵
1.皮膚無光澤。
2.香港腳。
3.稍做運動即感疲勞，一上公車便想睡覺。
4.上下樓梯容易氣喘。
5.肥胖、下腹突出。
6.步伐緩慢、動作遲緩。

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
為什麼會形成酸性體質？
1.過度攝取乳酸性食品

a）肉類、乳酪制品與蛋、牛肉、火腿等皆屬於酸性食品。

b）攝取過量的酸性食品血液會傾向酸性而變黏稠，

不易流到細血管的末稍，而易造成手腳或膝蓋的冷寒症， 以及肩膀僵硬
和失眠等。
c）年輕力壯時吃適量的肉類是對的， 但老年人則以蔬菜或小魚為宜。

2.生活步調失常會造成酸性體質
a）生活步調失常會造成精神與肉體的壓力。

b）據統計，晚睡者罹患癌症的機率比正常人高出五倍。
c）人類本來就活在節奏的世界里，無法事先儲備睡眠或飲食，也不
能夜顛倒。

d）人體內臟受自律神經控制，白天主要是交感神經活動，
晚上則由副交感神經工作，若使其錯亂及倒置， 就亦百病滋
生。

3.情緒過於緊張
a）文明社會會造成的壓力。
b）工作上或精神上的壓力。

c）當一個人承受精神壓力後，一旦緊張松弛，
時會造成猝死，稱為潛在性副腎皮質機能不全症。
4.肉體的緊張

a）動手朮之前應先檢查腎上腺皮質機能是否正常。

如果副腎皮質機能較差，或手朮壓力遠超過副腎調整功能，
則可能造成病人死亡或其他不良影響。

b）若發現病患臉部浮腫，需詳加詢問病史及服藥狀況，
為長期服用腎上腺皮質賀爾蒙者， 施以針灸要特別注意反
應。

c）勞動或運動過度，通宵打牌、開車等壓力都應盡量避免。

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

附錄：常見食物的酸鹼性

1.強酸性食品：蛋黃、乳酪、白糖做的西點或柿子、 烏魚子、柴魚等。

2.中酸性食品：火腿、培根、雞肉、鮪魚、豬肉、鰻魚、牛肉、面包、小麥、奶
油、馬肉等。

3.弱酸性食品：白米、落花生、啤酒、酒、油炸豆腐、海苔、文蛤、章魚,泥鰍。

4.弱鹼性食品：紅豆、蘿卜、蘋果、甘藍菜、洋蔥、豆腐等。

5.中鹼性食品：蘿卜乾、大豆、紅蘿卜、蕃茄、香蕉、橘子、南瓜、草莓、蛋白、
梅乾、檸檬、菠菜等。

6.強鹼性食品：葡萄、茶葉、葡萄酒、海帶芽、海帶等。

尤其是天然綠藻富含葉綠素，是不錯的鹼性健康食品，
而茶類不宜過量，最佳飲用時間為早上。

I never thought Lemon can Alkalinise your body.  From now on, I will add Lemon into my tea and water.

The surprising benefits of lemon!

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. 

You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... 

It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. 

Manuka Honey on the Go!

When you getting older, and when you catch a flu bug, you tends to take much longer to heal.  So, Manuka Honey can be a very good supplement to strengten your imune system.

Now, if you travel very often, I don't think you want to bring the manuka honey bottle with you.  And it will be troublesome as some custom may want you to discard it from your hand carry.  If that happens, you will lost your daily dosage of Manuka Honey.

Not to worry, I think Eu Yan Sang has come up with a solution.  Introducing the snap pack Manuka Honey.  It is a 15+ Manuka Honey in a snap pack.

It is easy to bring, and every snap pack comes with 9g of 15+ Manuka Honey.

This is an innovative way to bring Manuka Honey with you when you are traveling.  Btw, what is a snap pack?

Snap pack means, you snap the pack....

And eat it this way, by pressing the pack.  I like the design of this snap pack.

So, now you have a solution to bring lots of Manuka Honey on your traveling and stay healthy.

Stay Healthy Always!
