Today, we honor Redefine Meat, an Israel-based start-up company which utilizes 3D printing technology to produce realistic plant-based steaks. The company’s revolutionary approach brings alternative meat to a whole new level. Made from natural, sustainable sources, their cruelty-free steaks closely replicate the appearance, texture and flavor of animal meat. Mr. Eshchar Ben-Shitrit, founder and CEO of Redefine Meat, started his company with a vision to make a positive change in the world. “The vision of the company is to replace meat. So it’s not bringing 3D printing to people’s home. Because if you look at an industry that has a problem, the food industry has many problems. What’s the biggest problem for the food industry, for the world? Animal as a source for food. What’s the biggest issue within? That is beef. So we want to have a platform that solves the problem that we need beef to make steaks. People want to buy meat, so we are giving them meat. We’re not giving them dead animals. If the meat can come from a different source, everybody will be happy to serve.” “But unfortunately or fortunately, most people in the world did not decide to stop eating meat. They still eat meat every day. And this is the market that we need to educate. But we need to serve them a different kind of meat.” With great mainstream appeal, Redefine Meat is cruelty-free, healthier, has 95% less environmental impact, and will be more affordable than animal meat when it reaches the market. “We have no cholesterol, and this is easy. When you look at an animal, when you slaughter an animal, people don’t understand that you have food pathogens that exist in a cow, and it’s almost impossible not to have them go to your meat. In our case, we don’t have any of these pathogens.” “But in April this year, we served over 200 dishes as meat to people that didn’t know that it’s meat, in restaurants and in a hotel.” For their outstanding innovation, Redefine Meat won the 2018 Food Accelerator Network Program competition. “So it was sort of, the starting point of us not only being a technology company, but a part of this food technology movement. Smarter companies in the meat industry, they embrace this innovation. So instead of saying, ‘What you’re doing is not meat, I am, I’m doing meat for 500 years, it’s our tradition.’ He says, ‘I have a know-how on how to get meat to chefs, what chefs want.’ You have a new kind of meat, let’s collaborate. Instead of competing, let’s collaborate.” 今日，我們很榮幸請到以色列的新創公司，利用三Ｄ列印技術生產幾可擬真的純植物牛排。該公司革命性的創新將替代肉帶入全新的階段。由天然和永續的原料製成，他們的零殘忍牛排�� ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz6yGGRwMCY

In today’s show, “Caring for Your Liver,” we will learn about the importance of the liver and tips to care for it. Did you know that the liver is the only internal organ that can regenerate itself? One of the major functions of the liver is to produce bile for the digestion and absorption of fats and cholesterol in the small intestine. Bile also helps with uptake of vitamin K, which in fact is a group of organic compounds essential for blood to clot normally. The liver processes bilirubin from spent hemoglobin and helps remove it from the body. According to the Center for Disease Analysis (CDA) in Colorado, USA, about 89 million Americans have this condition without being aware of it. Such a pervasive lack of knowledge is actually understandable because the illness usually has no symptoms, but there is no lack of consequences. In 2021, a research published in the Journal of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases showed that people with NAFLD have improved liver function and weight loss after following a vegan diet for six months. Other studies have found that a high-fiber plant-based diet can reduce liver fat, and the antioxidants in these foods help to limit inflammation. These are important takeaways from our presentation, since there are currently no pharmaceuticals available for fatty liver disease. By eliminating fast food, you can retrain your taste buds to appreciate and enjoy fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. Furthermore, establishing a good habit of regular exercise can reinforce the positive outcome of adopting a healthy vegan diet for maintaining a healthy weight. We hope that our show has inspired you to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Take good care of your liver by switching to a vegan diet. Benefit your whole body through regular physical activity. And upgrade your future by making good decisions and treating others with kindness. 在今天的節目「呵護您的肝臟」中，我們將了解肝臟的重要性以及照顧肝臟的技巧。您可知曉肝臟是唯一能夠自我再生的內臟器官？ 肝臟的主要功能之一是產生膽汁，用於消化和吸收小腸中的脂肪和膽固醇。膽汁還有助於吸收維生素Ｋ，而維生素Ｋ實際上是血液正常凝結所必需的有機化合物。肝臟從消耗的血紅蛋白中處理膽紅素並幫助將其從體內清除。 根據美國科羅拉多州疾病分析中心（ＣＤＡ）的數據，大約有八千九百萬美國人患有非酒精性脂肪肝疾病而不自知。如此普遍缺乏知識其實是可以理解的，因為這種疾病一般毫無症狀，但不乏嚴重後果。 二○二一年，發表在《胃腸道與肝臟疾病期刊》一項研究表明，非酒精性脂肪肝患者遵循純素飲食六個月後，肝功能得到改善，體重減輕。其他研究發現，高纖純植物飲食可以減少肝臟脂肪，而且這些食物中的抗氧化劑有助於限制炎症。這些都是我們介紹的關鍵內容，因為目前尚無治療脂肪肝的藥物。透過摒棄速食，您可以重新訓練您的味蕾來欣賞和享受水果、蔬菜、豆類和全穀物。此外，養成定期運動的良好習慣可以強化採用健康純素飲食以保持健康體重的積極成果。 希望我們的節目已經激發了您採取更健康的生活方式。透過改採純素飲食來好好呵護您的肝臟。透過定期的運動鍛鍊使您的整個身體受益。並透過做出正確的決定和善待他人來提昇您的未來。 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3m-ItLLWfA
