TianTian
Phytonutrients are naturally occuring plant compounds, structurally similar to human oestrogens. Oestrogens are hormones required for normal growth and development and to maintain good adult health in both men and women. Oestrogens are essential to the female reproductive system but are also important for the bones, heart and brain. Phytonutrients also act as anti-oxidants, which play an important role in promoting general health. Populations
lacking sufficient dietary phytonutrients have been shown to be more susceptible
to problems such as cardiovascular disease and cancers than populations,
primarily in the East, whose diet, historically, has been rich in them. A recent
survey in Japan showed a marked deterioration in health and increasing levels of
cholesterol associated with a more Western diet characterised by an increase in
animal rather than soy protein. Postmenopausal women are
at risk from health problems relating to oestrogen deficiency, such as
cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Isoflavones, a class of phytonutrients,
have been shown to decrease the risk of developing these conditions and to
reduce the number of symptoms associated with the menopause such as hot flushes.
Free radicals are created by the immune system to destroy bacteria and viruses. Free radicals may be increased by unhealthy lifestyles and diet to a level which becomes dangerous to health. Anti-oxidants in the diet helps to limit the excess of free radicals from:- . Damaging cholesterol carrying particles, known as low density lipoprotein or LDL; . Contributing to clots or thromboses which can increase the risk of heart attacks or strokes; . Damaging DNA which may lead to cancer; . Triggering inflammation; . Suppressing the immune system; . Impairing cell function. TianTian in the fight against Cardiovascular Disease. Soy protein contains all the essential amino acids in sufficient quantities to support human life. In countries where soy is a dietary staple the incidence of coronary heart disease is lower than in the West. Experiments have shown that soy proteins and its isoflavones are frequently linked to the reduction of cardiovascular disease and the risk factors associated with it, such as excess cholesterol. The British and American Heart Association encourages the consumption of soy as part of a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. In 2002 the Joint Claims Initiative authorised the use of the claim that the inclusion of at least 25 grams of soy protein a day as part of a diet low in saturated fats can help reduce blood cholesterol. Products carrying the claim must contain a minimum of 5 grams of soy protein and relates only to soy protein that has retained its naturally occuring isoflavones. In 100ml of concentrate, TianTian contains 6.4 grams of soy protein. TianTian in the protective role against Cancer. Epidemiological studies have shown a significant difference in cancer among different ethnic groups (higher in the West compared with Asian countries such as China and Japan). It is believed this is partially due to dietary habits. Clinical trials have produced encouraging results indicating that higher intakes of phytoestrogens, particularly isoflavones have been associated with a reduction in the risk of developing cancers of the breast, endometrium, prostate and stomach. TianTian in Eye and Skin Health Lutein is found in many fruits and vegetables. Most people do not eat sufficient of either and, because of modern farming methods, many do not contain sufficient nutrients. One of Lutein's functions is to provide protection against oxidative and free radical damage. The highest concentrations of Lutein are found in the eye, but it is also present in skin, breast and cervical tissue. Lutein levels are entirely controlled by dietary choice. Lutein protects against Free Radical damage to the retina which causes AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD). AMD is the leading cause of blindness amongst adults. High intakes of Lutein have been linked to a 19% decrease in cataract risk for men and 22% for women. There is also a strong suggestion of benefits to the heart. There are links suggested between Lutein consumption and prevention of cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, lung, oral cavity and pharynx, endometrium, pancreas and colon. Associations have also been found between high Lutein intake and lowered rates of coronary heart disease and stroke. Lutein may counteract and prevent UVR-induced photo-damage and erythema (inflammaation) of the skin. TianTian as part of a calorie controlled diet. TianTian is low in fat and carbohydrate whilst high in protein. A tall glass of 250ml (at recommended dilution of 3:1) has only 32.25 kcal. TianTian is an ideal complement to a calorie controlled diet.
Take TianTian for a more balanced life. TianTian is sold in bottles containing 750ml of concentrate.
Recommended dilution is 4:1. It can be mixed with water or milk.
