Today I learnt something new that I never really came across before (or maybe I did but it never stuck to me). In the World Health Organization's (WHO) latest report on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), it provides a disturbing account on the impact these diseases have on human mortality across the world!


Little did I know that NCDs are the leading cause of deaths globally and accounts for 41 million or over 71% of the world's 57 million deaths in 2016 alone! That is something that we should be alarmed about! There are four major NCDs that are identified as being responsible for 54% of all global deaths and when I heard what are these four, I almost cried!


That's not the worst of it! In Malaysia alone, death reports due to cardiovascular diseases contributes to 35% of all deaths in the country which is alarmingly HIGHER than the global average of 31%! And what is the reason for all these NCDs that people must be aware about?!


The reason is simply the unhealthy lifestyle and poor dietary habits such as consuming processed food or those with high sugar content that causes chronic inflammation in our body and these inflammations will eventually lead to NCDs!


Hence, today's event I attended was an eye-opening event that aims to help provide a supplement known as Theracurmin that has an innovative and clinically-proven curcumin formulation using extract of Curcuma longa aka Turmeric.


It is a known fact that turmeric is a good anti-inflammatory ingredient that we can add into our food diet. Because studies has shown that curcumin can switch off the main inflammatory activities in the body by blocking the protein complex known as NF-kB (Nuclear factor Kappa-Light-Chain-Enhancer of activated B cells) which plays a major role in many chronic diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's, as well as other degenerative conditions.


But if you think adding turmeric to your diet with bring you your desired results, then you will be disappointed to know that turmeric in its natural form, is not water soluble and has notoriously low absorption levels. Not all curcumin products available in the market can provide the desired benefits and therefore may not produce sufficient amount for the body's cells and tissues.


That's why Kordel came out with Theracurmin because it is produced through a patented process using Japanese Nano-particle technology that converts turmeric powder into sub-micron particles called Nano-particle curcumin that will be easily absorbed and retained for as long as 24 hours in the body and allows the body to obtain immediate and longer protection against inflammation. Through clinical studies, it showed that consuming curcumin in the form of Theracurmin can improve the brain function and lowers the risk of brain-related diseases, it can also improve the function of the blood vessel walls that allows the human body to better regulate blood pressure and prevent clotting.


Easily available at all leading retailers and pharmacists across the country. It comes in a capsule form containing 100gms of curcumin that is equivalent to four full tablespoons of Turmeric powder.


The main benefit of Theracurmin is it turns off the Master Switch of any inflammatory mechanism. By reducing that, the body will then recover on its own and reduce further complications. It is not known to treat, cure, repair nor heal. Information stated here is intended for education purposes only and not meant to replace diagnosis or treatment for medical conditions of any sorts. Please consult your healthcare professional for further information. It is not how much curcumin you take; it is how much curcumin your body can absorb. To fully benefit from curcumin, your body must be able to absorb this through your blood stream to reach all parts of the body effectively.

With the weather nowadays that is kind of unpredictable, it is quite hard to go through the day knowing that you or your child could bring home germs or bacteria from unknown places. Even with the evolving era we live in now, bacteria and germs find ways to even breed and multiply in your very home too.

So how do we really keep our family hygiene at peek? Well, for me, I feel that we should keep it moderate, some bacteria is good as long as it isn't harmful, but when to really take action is when you see signs of weather change and your kids or even you feel uncomfortable, and you start to feel unwell.


Like recently with the coughing and flu widespread in Malaysia, it has become so common that it's like a norm, but it's unhealthy and if ignored, may lead to many unknown diseases. So it's good to sometimes cleanse thoroughly and it always starts from home.

Dettol relaunches its personal wash range that provides a burst of freshness all day long of up to 12 hours odour protection whilst protects from 100 harmful germs!
