UnoCardio®CHEWY Children's chewable fish oil to enhance immunity and promote eye and brain development 30 capsules

近來很多家長關注新冠後遺症，因此認識麥得飲食法是非常重要，它結合兩種飲食並強調天然，以植物性食物為主，特別提倡莓果類和綠色葉菜類蔬菜，和限制攝取動物性食物和含高飽和脂肪食物，保持身體健康。 10種護腦食物 麥得飲食包含了10種護腦食物（綠色葉菜類、其他蔬菜類、堅果類、莓果類、豆類、全穀類、魚類、家禽類、橄欖油）及避免5種不健康的食物（紅肉類、奶油及人造奶油、糕點和甜點、油炸和速食食品）。雖然以往許多時用於老人，但近年它用作增加抗氧化力。 麥得飲食，又稱作「心智飲食」，它結合地中海飲食與得舒飲食兩種飲食的特點，麥得飲食的特色，主要強調攝取原態食物，包括每日至少攝取三份以上全穀類食物。 多攝取白肉及蔬菜類食物 在煮食上，用油會以橄欖油為主，建議多攝取魚類、家禽及海鮮如蝦等白肉，每周要達兩餐；蔬菜類則建議食用大量綠色葉菜，所含豐富葉酸、類胡蘿蔔素、維他命E等營養素極高，具有抗氧化、抑制發炎反應等效果。 多攝取堅果類和莓果類食物 麥得飲食很著重堅果類食物，其所蘊藏的營養價值非常豐富，其中最受人注目的成分包含良好的脂肪、膳食纖維及多種維生素和礦物質。杏仁、腰果、核桃、松子、夏威夷豆等都是很好的選擇。水果方面，建議莓果類，因含豐富花青素，同是含抗氧化物質！ 麥得飲食另一特點是減少紅肉、奶油及甜點的攝取。很多國際數據顯示調查發現，麥得飲食遵從度愈高者，對補腦、增加抗氧化力大有益處！  麥得飲食餐單早餐 ： 1份煎腰果 1杯蔬菜汁 1片全麥多士  午餐 ： 1份三文魚全麥三文治 （含紅蘿蔔、芹菜）1份鷹嘴豆泥  晚餐 ： 1份咖哩雞肉 1份糙米飯  麥得飲食配合有益魚油，為孩子免疫力Level Up 在運用麥得飲食的同時，家長可為子女選用WHC小超人及小精靈魚油，每批次均獲IFOS 5星認證，擁高含量 Omega-3，促進兒童眼腦發育，增強記憶力，加強認知、理解能力; rTG型態魚油，達4倍高效吸收，添加每天所需維他命D3，而維他命D3乃維持骨骼和牙齒健康的重要物質，促進鈣吸收，提高免疫力; 足以讓兒童快高長大，適合三歲以上小童服用。

不飽和脂肪是甚麼？ 脂肪由一個甘油分子及三個脂肪酸分子所組成，其中又可以再分為飽和脂肪和不飽和脂肪，飽和脂肪是單鍵結構，會與氫原子結合發生化學反應，形成反式脂肪，製造膽固醇，增加患中風和心臟病風險。 而不飽和脂肪含一個或多個雙鍵結構，因此不會被氫化，在室溫下通常是液體，其中又可以再被分為單元不飽和脂肪和多元不飽和脂肪，多元不飽和脂肪不能由身體產生，只能透過食物攝取。每個人對這2種脂肪酸會隨著自己本身的基因各有不同，如果想要認識小朋友屬哪一種最好做坊間此類基因的檢測。   3大健康食油推薦 單元不飽和脂肪其中一個主要來源是植物油： 1. 橄欖油含有豐富的不飽和脂肪酸，當中單元不飽和脂肪酸約佔了70%的脂肪酸比例，高溫至160-200度也不易受到破壞，煮食用也十分合適 2. 芥花籽油的單元不飽和脂肪含量為61%，多元不飽和脂肪含量 Omega 3 高達11%，對心血管健康有益，另外飽和脂肪酸的含量更是所有植物油中最低，僅佔7%，且較少存塑化劑及致癌物 3.  米糠油的脂肪酸比例乃20%飽和脂肪，43％為單元不飽和及37%為多元不飽和脂肪，且含有豐富的維他命E和谷維素，具有抗氧化和抗炎作用。 不飽和脂肪食物列表 - 堅果：杏仁、腰果、榛果、核桃、夏威夷果等，含多元不飽和脂肪酸，以及維他命E、食物纖維及蛋白質等多種營養素，還能降低成長後糖尿病風險。 - 魚類：三文魚、鯖魚、吞拿魚等含豐富多元不飽和脂肪酸，可以降低成長後罹患心臟病、憂鬱症及癡肥的風險 - 種子：亞麻籽、奇亞籽、南瓜籽等。 - 牛油果 WHC小超人選用秘魯/智利深海野生魚仔，去除雜質，保留活性成分，每批次均獲IFOS 5星認證，擁640mg 高含量 Omega-3不飽和脂肪酸，純度高達95%，促進兒童眼腦發育，增強記憶力，加強認知、理解能力; rTG型態魚油，達4倍高效吸收，運用Concordix®專利技術，吸收速度提升200%，添加500IU維他命D3，促進鈣吸收，強健骨骼，提高免疫力; 適合三歲以上小童服用。 參考文獻: Riediger ND, Othman RA, Suh M et al.

高鈉飲食影響兒童腎臟 WHC魚油補充減少身體負荷 小朋友經常尿頻去廁所，可能是飲食所影響。孩子的身體尚未發展成熟，體型也較小，分解食物速度較大人慢，因此大人攝取同樣分量的鈉，對孩子而言便已超標了。長期高鹽飲食會對孩子腎臟造成傷害，更會導致心血管疾病，因此家長要多注意孩子的飲食，避免高鈉的加工食物，減少鹽分攝取，保護兒童腎臟健康。 兒童的鈉攝取量應少於大人 世界衛生組織建議成人每日的鹽分攝取量不應超過5g，而兒童則應根據體重按比例作調整，例如如孩子體重是大人的一半，每日的鹽攝取量不應超過2.5g。 每天所需的鹽分應從正常食物中獲得的，大多數加工食物，還有如薄餅、漢堡和三明治等垃圾食物，還有醬汁都鈉含量有較高，不能倚賴作主食。此外，家長也要細讀營養標籤，像是早餐麥片雖然多為甜口，但也含有大量的鈉，過度攝取會對腎臟造成負擔。 兒童高鈉飲食的3大禍害 兒童高鈉飲食禍害1｜腎臟健康 對於年齡越小的兒童，攝取過量鹽分的傷害便越大。鹽會令水分滯留在身體裡，影響腎臟的運作。不僅會導致尿頻，嚴重更會導致腎結石。 兒童高鈉飲食禍害2｜引致心血管疾病 鈉與血壓有密切關係，當身體累積了多餘的水分，會使血壓飆升，導致兒童患上心血管疾病，並對身體各處器官造成損害。 兒童高鈉飲食禍害3｜影響智力和免疫發展 高鈉飲食會影響兒童體內對鋅的吸收，由於鋅是免疫系統中重要的元素，並同時影響孩子智力發育，造成孩子整體免疫力下降，從而引發各種疾病。 保護兒童腎臟8大飲食建議 1. 均衡飲食、選擇原型食物2. 全榖雜糧搭配豆類如麥包3. 多吃深色蔬菜如菇類、藻類、綠葉菜4. 每天攝取水果5. 注意每天用油、適量補充堅果 6. 每天補充充足Omega-37. 增加戶外活動量如踏單車、球類活動8. 每天飲用8-10杯水 保護腎臟魚油推薦 WHC兒童魚油能呵護腎臟為健康助陣！WHC高純度Omega-3（EPA+DHA）改善腎絲球過濾率、抗炎護血管，減少蛋白尿、預防血管硬化! WHC小超人咀嚼魚油每批次均獲IFOS 5星認證，每粒含640mg 高含量Omega-3，促進兒童眼腦發育，增強記憶力，加強認知、理解能力; rTG型態魚油，達4倍高效吸收，運用Concordix®專利技術，吸收速度提升200%，吸收率提升44%，添加500IU維他命D3，促進鈣吸收，提高免疫力，平衡身體營養保護腎臟，適合三歲以上小童服用。   參考文獻: Guidance: Sodium Intake for Adults and Children.

EPA, a fatty acid known as the "blood vessel cleaner", was often considered a healthy standard for middle-aged and elderly people. In fact, EPA also plays an important role in children's health . This article will explore in depth the multiple benefits of EPA for children's health. Debunking myths! EPA is not just for middle-aged and elderly people EPA is widely used in the middle-aged and elderly population due to its lipid-lowering ability . A 2017 paper in Vascular Pharmacology pointed out that EPA can significantly lower plasma triglycerides and is beneficial for atherosclerotic plaques. The US FDA has also approved EPA prescription fish oil. In the field of children's nutrition, DHA is often regarded as the key to brain nutrition, while EPA is misunderstood as a "monster". Natural nutrition in breast milk lays the foundation for immunity Breast milk itself contains EPA, and infants and young children begin to supplement EPA from birth. Dietary recommendations for Chinese preschool children: Children aged 4-5 should supplement 50-75 grams of livestock meat and fish every day. For example, salmon contains 287 mg EPA and 360 mg DHA per 30 grams. A 2020 article in "Nutrients" pointed out that about half of the studies showed that children who supplemented with ≥450 mg of DHA+EPA daily had improved cognitive abilities and helped the development of the brain and eyes. Conclusion: EPA is not only safe, but also an "invisible guardian" of children's growth. DHA’s “right-hand man”——EPA DHA is known as brain gold. It is the fatty acid with the highest content in the brain and is essential for neuron growth and neurotransmission. EPA can regulate inflammatory responses and nerve signals, indirectly supporting the function of DHA. Plasma unesterified EPA can be converted into DHA in the liver and supplied to the brain. The combined effects of EPA and DHA can improve the fluidity of nerve cell membranes, enhance synaptic plasticity, and improve learning and memory. The synergistic effect of EPA and DHA The combination of the two can more effectively reduce inflammatory factors and alleviate neuroinflammatory-related diseases. EPA and DHA also have synergistic effects in neuroprotection, cardiovascular health, and bioavailability. EPA is the best "work assistant" of DHA! Protecting children's growth: Improving immunity and protecting vision With the change of seasons or after playing outside, children are prone to catching colds, fevers or respiratory infections, so improving immunity becomes a goal for parents. EPA can regulate the production of inflammatory mediators and immune cell function, inhibit proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL-6, TNF-α), promote the production of anti-inflammatory mediators (such as resolvins, protectins), and balance the inflammatory response. Combined supplementation of EPA+DHA can reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases and improve asthma symptoms in children with iron deficiency. EPA can also change intestinal flora, enhance intestinal barrier function and overall immunity. Supplementing EPA during pregnancy can reduce children's BMI and body fat percentage, and reduce the risk of obesity. EPA protects children's vision health According to data from 2023, the myopia rate among children and adolescents in China is as high as 52.7%. EPA plays an important role in retinal photoreceptor cells and maintains retinal health. NHANES data showed that the intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (including EPA) was negatively correlated with the incidence of myopia in adolescents. EPA can regulate mitochondrial function, reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and protect retinal cells from oxidative damage. The combined action of EPA+DHA can enhance retinal neuron metabolism, increase macular pigment density, and enhance protection against blue light. EPA Improves ADHD and Emotional Health ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects approximately 23 million children and adolescents in the country. EPA can modulate dopamine and serotonin pathways, enhance prefrontal cortex function, and improve attention and behavioral control. Studies have shown that EPA supplementation can improve core symptoms of ADHD in children, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. EPA also improved cognitive function, reading ability, and behavioral scores. EPA can increase the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), promote neuroplasticity, improve mood and cognitive function, and effectively relieve depressive symptoms in children. Combined supplementation of EPA+DHA can significantly improve the executive function and emotion regulation ability of ADHD children. EPA: An all-around helper for children's growth EPA has been contributing to human health, from cardiovascular scavenger, immune regulation, eye protection to improving concentration, improving learning ability and ADHD. EPA is not only a "health partner" for middle-aged and elderly people, but also an "all-round assistant" for children's growth. References: Nelson, JR, Wani, O., May, HT, & Budoff, M. (2017).
