What is ENCORE? |
A1 |
: |
ENCORE is a delicious, nutritious powder beverage rich in antioxidants to nourish the heart and liver. Enjoy the feeling of renewal and vitality with this unique beverage!
ENCORE’s main ingredients are hawthorn, plum, blueberry, winter melon, chrysanthemum and mulberry.
Hawthorn is praised for its heart-strengthening properties. It is used in traditional medicine to treat irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest pain, hardening of the arteries, and heart failure.
Plum helps to prevent plaque formation in the arteries. The high potassium content in plum helps to normalize blood pressure, while soluble fiber promotes heart health.
Blue berries are one of the richest sources of antioxidants, making them powerful supporters of the immune system. They help reduce the buildup of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, thereby preventing cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Winter melon may protect against cardiovascular diseases and cancers by fighting free radicals and inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme activity, which causes blood vessels to narrow. It also promotes urination, thereby removing wastes and toxins from the body.
Chrysanthemum increases blood flow to the heart . It is also reputed for aiding liver functions, lowering high blood pressure, improving eyesight, and detoxifying blood.
Mulberry helps improve blood flow, which eases the workload of the heart. It supports healthy liver function as it has detoxification properties.

Q2 |
: |
What are the functions of the heart and liver? |
A2 |
: |
All other organs depend on a functioning heart to deliver an adequate blood supply to them. The heart works as a pump to send blood through all parts of the body. On the journey away from the heart, blood contains oxygen and nutrients that every cell needs to function. On the way back to the heart, blood carries away carbon dioxide and waste products.
The liver removes toxins, dead cells and micro-organisms from the bloodstream; assists in the digestion of food; makes bile, which is needed to digest fats; regulates fat metabolism; burns fat; regulates blood sugar; stores carbohydrates in a form that allows a quick release of energy when it is needed; and makes plasma proteins, which are needed to help blood clot.

Q3 |
: |
Are all cholesterols bad? |
A3 |
: |
No. The human body needs cholesterol to manufacture bile, cell membranes and secretin (a hormone that stimulates pancreatic secretions). Cholesterol is needed for health. Cholesterol in the human body is broadly divided into two types. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is known as “bad” cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as “good” cholesterol. LDL (bad) cholesterol slowly builds up in the inner walls of the arteries and narrows the arteries. This leads to cardiovascular conditions such as atherosclerosis and arrhythmia. HDL (good) cholesterol carries “bad” cholesterol away from the arteries and has cardioprotective properties.

Q4 |
: |
Where does the cholesterol in the human body come from? |
A4 |
: |
Part of the cholesterol in the human body is obtained from the diet; the rest is produced by the human body. |
| |
|
|
Q5 |
: |
Does reducing cholesterol intake guarantee a healthy cardiovascular system? |
A5 |
: |
No. Just reducing cholesterol intake does not guarantee a healthy cardiovascular system. A balanced and strong immune system, a healthy heart and liver, plus the ability of the body to keep its cholesterol levels in balance are crucial for long-term good health. Hence, increase intake of wholesome plant foods to nourish the body and maintain a balanced immune system for good health. |
