A gentle reminder for you, if you are taking bird’s nest, please avoid any “too good to be true” offer in the marketplace. The only reason why you can get heavily discounted bird’s nest is because of supply is more than the demand. 

I would also like to remind bird’s nest producers, if your only reason of being in the industry is to make profits out of people (consumers) and totally ignore the quality and edibility (contamination) of your bird’s nest. You are affecting people health and life negatively.

The industry has also been suffering for the past two years after China banned imports of the nests citing health concerns over their content of a chemical called nitrite. The ban has caused prices to drop at least 20 per cent. But producers say that China’s import ban could turn out to be a much-needed wakeup call — making people think twice before jumping into the industry, and pushing existing producers to seek out new markets for their birds nests.

According to WHO, the outbreak of Hand, Foot and Mouth (HFMD) occur every 2 to 3 years in different parts of the world and in recent years Asia has reported more cases and this include Singapore. HFMD mostly infects infants and young children under the age of five.

There is currently no clinically approved vaccines or specific treatment for HFMD besides relief of symptoms. The best thing that Parents can do is to build up your child’s immune system and practice good hygiene.

Good hygiene practises

It has been known that HFMD is spread from human to human in many ways and they include direct contact with nasal discharge, saliva, faeces, and fluids from the blister of an infected human. Therefore, the practice of good hygiene is very important to keep one child safe from HFMD infection.

These good hygiene practices can be found in MOH website;

Wash hands with soap before eating and after going to the toilet.

Cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.

Do not share eating utensils.

Ensure that toys or appliances that are contaminated by nasal or oral secretions cleaned thoroughly before they are used again.

Built up your child’s Immune System

So what is this so called “immune system” that everybody seem to be concerned about as
part of protection against diseases and sickness?

Immune system is important to your child’s life because it is the first line of defense against micro-organism that makes your child sick. It is also the very thing that makes your child well or healthy again should your child’s body fails to stop the virus that afflicted your child. Hence, it is important to build up your child’s immune system.

Children are subjected to higher risk for infection because they are less likely than adults to have antibodies to protect them.

One of the possible ways to build up your child’s immune system is to feed your child
regularly with cleaned and chemical free bird’s nest that contains high level of amino acids.
This is because amino acids aids in building up immune system.

Scientific studies of Amino Acids aiding in immune function has been around for many years
(British Journal of Nutrition, 2007). It is extremely important that you start acting now to build your child’s immune system. Diseases such as HFMD can cause long-term damage and can even be fatal in some cases. You can start now by taking the necessary steps to strengthen your little one’s immunity to infection. Quoted from Benjamin Franklin, “ An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

This is because there are unethical merchants who are focusing on generating profits from bird’s nest and abuses these birds as they deprive these baby birds from their home.

If you are unsure of whether you are harming these birds, then you can consider buying bird’s nest from us. Because we are committed to take good care of these birds and let them fly freely. We want them to continue having fun and enjoy the clean environment we have created for them.

I have discussed previously about the benefits of eating bird’s nest for pregnant mothers and children, and thus this blog is specially written for the elderly.  Eating bird’s nest is definitely beneficial for elderly and the consumption rate is recommended to be more frequent like twice or thrice a week.

The Protein and the Amino Acids in bird’s nest aid in cell renewal in human body as well as enhancing body’s metabolism. This is important because as one age, our metabolism slows down.  Metabolism is an important function where chemical reactions take place to maintain the living state of our body’s cells and organs. To put it simpler, the higher your metabolism rate is, the better your body can burn and covert it to energy to maintain your bodily functions. The energy converted is for body functions such as breathing, blood circulation, digesting of food and nutrients, eliminating of body waste etc.

Does it sound familiar that as one age, one tends to lose their appetite, stamina and experience constipation? This is on top of the physical changes that we see in greying and drier hair texture as well as loss of skin elasticity.

Eating bird’s nest thus keeps your hair and skin in better shape as it contains EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), which results in cellular proliferation. Most importantly, it strengthens the lungs and kidneys as well as improves the quality of spleen. This in turn enhances better appetite as well as improving metabolism to aid in body functions.
