This Ninja Cooking System is a Professional Cooking Technology available for our kitchen. It is a Revolutionary Cooking System - Fast One-Pot Meal Making; Steam Roast & Baking; Sear & Slow Cook in One Pot!
I have been making homemade meals faster, easier, and heather using this Ninja Cooking System (a 3-in-1 Cooker), since we bought it months ago. It is very convenient to use, space-saving, and it is so easy to clean-up. What a convenience and I love it!

Cod With Orange Glaze & Snap Peas.
This recipe is courtesy of Ninja Cooking System. I'd like to share it as this is my reference when I cooked the Cod with Lemon Glaze & Green Beans (Steam Oven Baking using a Ninja Cooking System).
I wanted to follow all the ingredients of this Cod with Orange Glaze & Snap Peas recipe, orange and snap peas are not available at home when I make my dish. so I made use of other ingredients like lemon and green beans (string beans) instead. It turned our delicious especially the lemon sauce .
Cod is firm, white fish that stands up beautifully to the gingered orange glaze. The sauce reduces to a glaze in bottom of pot while sugar snap peas steam on rack, creating especially delicious dinner.

Cod with Lemon Glaze & Green Beans
A cod is a common ocean, firm, white fish with a mild flavour, low fat content and a dense, flaky white flesh. When cooked, cod is moist and flaky texture. It is known
as Bacalao in Spanish or Bakalaw in Pinas. This fish is popular for its liver oil (Cod Liver
Oil) which is said to be a good source of Vitamin A and Omega-3 fatty
Acids (EPA and DHA).
The frozen raw Cod Fillets and the remaining cooked (in a serving dish) Cod Fillet with Lemon Glaze & Green Beans with its yummy sauce.
Here is my recipe of Cod with Lemon Glaze and Green Beans using a Ninja Cooking System (Stove top / Oven). If this kind of cooking system is not available for cooking/baking, please refer at the bottom of this post for stove top. Thanks! :-)
Ingredients:
3 frozen uncooked cod fillets (family size)
2 teaspoons cooking oil (I used canola oil)
1 teaspoon ground ginger (I used fresh crushed ginger root)
2 cloves garlic, minced (I used 2 tsp, minced)
1 cup onions, cubed
1/4 cup of spring onions, cut
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons soy sauce (I used Silver Swan toyo from Pinas)
1 tsp fish sauce (I used Datu Puti from Pinas)
1 tablespoon sugar (I used brown sugar)
1 cup green / string beans, cut (sitaw)
Procedures:
1. Pour oil into pot. SET to STOVETOP HIGH and heat oil. Add ginger, garlic, onions, half of spring onions ( the reaming half will be used for garnishing)half of red bell peppers (the rest will be added later together with the string beans to retain its bright color). Cook uncovered for 3 minutes or until garlic is tender, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir lemon juice, water, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar into pot. Place frozen cod fillet into the multi-purpose pan. (Yes, frozen fish or meat can be cooked straight to the Ninja Cooker without thawing it first. Isn't it very convenient?). Place roasting rack into pot. Place pan on rack. Set OVEN to 325 degrees F for 15 minutes. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Place string beans on top of fish. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork and checking if green beans are already done. (Note: I overdone the green beans, but anyway, it was yummy!) Adjust the taste of the lemon sauce to your liking by using brown sugar, soy sauce or fish sauce. You may add lemon juice in a bottle if you like. Serve the cod fillets and green beans with leamon sauce in a bowl or plate.
This Cod with leamon Glaze & Green Beans recipe is inspired by the original recipe Cod with Orange Glaze & Snap Peas as found in my Ninja Cooking System Recipe Book.
Fried
Rice with Scrambled Eggs & Cabbage (using a Wok), Cod with Lemon
Glaze & Green Beans (Steam Oven Baking using a Ninja Cooking
System), & Soy Sauce with Vinegar & Sesami Oil. My hubby's Brunch for Today. As for me, no rice. The Cod alone with its Sauce is enough for me. Namit! :-)
FOR STOVE TOP COOKING, my suggested procedures:
1. Marinate the cod fillets (already thawed) using some of the ingredients (soy sauce, garlic and leamon juice for about 15 minutes) that are just enough to cover the fillets. This is optional.
2. Fry cod fillets in a pan (or wok) and set aside. In the same pan, (add additional oil if needed) saute garlic, onions, half of green onions (the remaining half will be used as garnish upon serving), and half of the red bell peppers (add the rest together with the green beans to retain its color. You may use green color or both green and red as you prefer). Stir until garlic is tender or transparent.
3. Add lemon juice, water, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar into pan and stir occasionally until well combined. Add the fried cod fillets, green beans and the remaining red bell peppers. Cook uncovered and stir ocassionally until the green beans are cooked. Adjust the taste of the lemon sauce according to your liking by using sugar, lemon juice, soy sauce and/or fish sauce.
4. Serve with rice if your prefer. Enjoy eating!

Butternut Squash-Walnut Bread a la Buks
I have a Butternut Squash left when I cooked a Veggie Soup so I decided to try making a butternut squash bread and since I have also Walnuts at home, I added them to the bread recipe as well. I don't know about baking, but out of necessity as there's no available Pinoy foods to buy near our home, I become interested not only in cooking but also in baking.
I am much inspired, because my hubby has been appreciating the tasteful food that I've been preparing for him at home. Thanks to the technology now as there are lots of available resources online as as my references in cooking and baking. It's good that I can come up with my own version of recipe depending on whatever available ingredients at home to be used and according to our liking of taste and ingredients. I love to cook and bake especially for my hubby.
I'd like to share the actual recipe of the Butternut Squash-Walnut Bread (1 loaf) as shown below using a STEAM INFUSED BAKING of a 3-in-1 NINJA COOKER (a.k.a. Ninja Cooking System). So far, so good! The bread turned out moist, soft, and delicious. :-)
Ingredients:
1 cup Butternut, puree*** (please see below)
3/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar
6 tbsp Canola Oil
2 tbsp Coconut Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Milk
2 Raw Eggs
1/2 tsp Vanila Extract
1/2 cup Walnuts, crushed
1 & 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon Sugar
Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, beat brown sugar, canola oil, coconut oil and eggs in another bowl with electric mixer until mixture is smooth. Add butternut squash, milk, vanilla extract. Beat well. Lightly stir in the walnuts using an electric mixture. Then gradually add flour mixture, stirring well after each addition until completely combined or well blended. Use an electric mixer and/or rubber spatula.
3. Pour the batter into a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan and sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar. Cover loaf pan with foil.
4. Pour 2 cups water into pot. Place roasting rack into pot. Place loaf pan on rack. Set OVEN to 350°F, and bake for 40 minutes. Cover and cook until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove pan from pot. Let bread cool in pan on cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. (This is steam infused baking using a Ninja Cooking System. Kindly refer below if you're going to use an Oven)
Note: Directions using an Oven (not a 3-in-1 Ninja Cooking System):
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove loaf pan from the oven. Let it cool. Slice and serve.
Enjoy eating!
I haven't tried using an oven yet as it's my very first time to bake this Butternut Squash-Walnut Bread. But I think, it will work as per my references online. Happy Baking! Please feel free to let me know of your result in baking this bread by leaving a comment. Thank you.
***Butternut squash puree:
There are ways to cook a squash like steaming, baking or boiling like making a mashed potato.

The Butternut Squash Puree
As for me, I peeled, and cut the butternut squash then steam baked it using a 3-in-1 Ninja Cooker for 15 to 20 minutes @ 350 degrees F. Once cooked, I mashed it using a potato masher. I am so glad I have this Ninja cooking system as it is very convenient and easy to use.
Note:
1. Original recipe calls for 1/2 cup (or 8 tbsp) of canola oil or cooking oil. I used 6 tbsp of canola oil and 2 tbsp of coconut oil in a jar being melted using a microwave.
2. Original recipe calls for 1/4 cup water but I used 1/4 cup fresh milk instead.
3. I prefer to use brown sugar (packed) instead of using granulated white sugar.
4.You may use other nuts like chopped or crushed peacan instead of walnuts.
5.You may experiment to come up with your own preferable recipe/ingredients.
6.I just made use of the ingredients I have at home like coconut oil in a jar hence, I come up of this recipe.
This is the photo of the remaining butternut squash-walnut bread straight from our fridge.

Forever Royal Jelly
Royal Jelly is a milky secretion derived from the pharyngeal glands of the honey bee. This "super food" of the bees is specially blended with enzymes and fed to each bee destined to become a queen. It is the exclusive food of the queen bee throughout her highly productive life, enabling her to lay up to 3,000 eggs per day during her six-year lifespan. Worker bees eating ordinary honey live only four to six weeks.
Royal Jelly contains vitamins A, C, D, and E and is also a rich natural storehouse of the B-complex vitamins. A major ingredient is vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), one of the most important substances in the body, essential for the synthesis and metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and several hormones.
Royal Jelly contains all eight essential amino acids plus ten secondary amino acids and notable amounts of the minerals calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, potassium, silicon and sulphur. Royal Jelly also contains nucleic acid.
Royal Jelly is high in protein and is produced during the digestion of pollen.
Our Royal Jelly is gathered from dry, remote, high desert regions where pristine conditions provide the ideal environment for our beehives. It is extracted from the hive and immediately freeze-dried to remove only the excess water from the product, leaving all vitamins, minerals, enzymes and co-enzymes present.
• One of the most complete foods
• Easily absorbed and readily digestible (chewable tablet form)
• No preservatives, artificial colors or flavors

Studies on Royal Jelly and Abnormal Cholesterol and Triglycerides
Do you know somebody who suffers from Abnormal Cholesterol and riglycerides? Here are some useful and informative informations courtesy of Young T. Cho, M.D. - Director, Department of Laboratories at St. Mary's Hospital, New York.
Royal Jelly is one of my favorite food supplements available from Forever Living Products.
Heart attack is a number one killer in the nation. High cholesterol and triglycerides, collectively called lipids, are associated with heart attack, strokes, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis (hardening of the blood vessels). To lower serum triglycerides and cholesterol we may be on a prolonged low calorie diet or on anticholesterol medicine such as clofivrate (Atromid S or L-Lysine). The lowering effect of royal jelly on abnormal cholesterol in experimental rabbits was reported first by Luis Guillermo Cornejo et al in 1973. This experiment showed significant control of cholesterol in rabbit blood, while a high cholesterol diet was given together with royal jelly.
What is Royal Jelly?
Royal Jelly is a thick, milky food which is a secretion of the pharyngeal glands of the young nursing worker bees.
The greater nutritional significance of the royal jelly is the fact that the anatomical and functional differentiation of the female bee larvae is dependent upon the nature of their diet in their early developmental stage. The fertilized eggs give rise to females, either sexually immature small workers or large and fertile queens. All female larvae are fed on royal jelly for the first three days after hatching. Only the queen continues to be fed by royal jelly.
The queen bee is mother to a quarter of a million bees and lays more that 2,000 eggs in one day. The life span of the queen may be four to five years compared to the considerably short life of workers - usually 6 months or less. The unusual nature of royal jelly has prompted many investigations into its chemical nature and pharmacological properties, but the mystery of this material has yet to be completely understood.
Composition of Royal Jelly:
Royal jelly has the following composition: Moisture 66.05%, protein 12.34%, total lipids 5.46%, total reducing substances 12.49%, Ash .62%. Undetermined 2.84%. Royal jelly is a good source of Vitamin B1, 1.0 to 1.5 International Units per Gram. No demonstrable amount of Vitamin A, Vitamin C or Vitamin E is present.
Royal jelly has been separated into four major fractions. Fraction 1 is either soluble material which consists of an organic acid (phenolic material and beeswax, sterol, phospholipin and a saponifiable substance). Fraction 2, water soluble and dialysable, the largest fraction, is about 50% sugar and unidentified acid inorganic salts and nitrogen compounds. Fraction 3, water soluble, non-dialysable, is protein in nature. This includes aspartic acid, arginine and tyrosine, trytophan and histidine. Fraction 4, water insoluble in a protein, soluble only in alkali. It is believed to be tyrosine, trytophan and arginine.
Fraction 1 contains the physiologically active material responsible for sexual development of the queen bees.
Some of the Studies:
Dr. G Townsend et al did extensive investigation on 10-Hydroxydecenoic acid in royal jelly on antitumor activity in mice. Acetylcholin is reported by William H. Brown (1959). Euphoria and strength after royal jelly consumption may be related to neurostimulating substance. A. Toman (1972), failed to demonstrate sex hormone increase in human male subjects.
Case Report on Royal Jelly Experiment for Abnormal Cholesterol & Triglyceride The following are experimental studies which were made by the author. The proper amount of royal jelly to be given to the patients was entirely unknown. The authors personal communication with Dr. Vasser, M.D. , at Miami University convinced me that large amounts of royal jelly are not harmful despite long term application in his geriatric studies.
Royal jelly was supplied by Willson Co. in New York (donated by Royal Jelly Fund). The royal jelly was bottled in colored plastic 1-pound jars and had been stored in a freezer during transportation and dispensed in a mixture of honey (50%). The patient stored royal jelly and honey mix in a regular refrigerator during its use.
CASE NO. 1: (R.S.) This is a 52-year-old white female who had two documented mycardial infarctions in February, 1957 and May, 1968, and a subsequent minor attack in December, 1969 followed by congestive heart failure in January, 1974. (All at St. Mary's Hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y.). Other pertinent history was a total hysterectomy in March 1971. She had anginal pain and shortness of breath associated with excessive perspiration. She also complained of pains in the legs. See attached chart (A) for series of cholesterol and triglyceride test results of same patient.
She was picked up because of her initial triglyceride level being 650 mg% in May, 1975 and her cholesterol level was 276 mg% April 23, 1975. August 16, 1974, she started to take one teaspoonful of Royal Jelly twice a day up to October 6, 1975 (51 days). Just before the initiation of Royal Jelly her triglyceride level was 440 mg%: during the interim, her triglyceride level went down to 204 mg% and 5 weeks later 193 mg%. (Normal up to 200 mg%). After cessation of Royal Jelly application, her triglyceride level elevated to 344 mg% on October 10, 1974. (This blood was post prandial specimen).
On December 2, 1974, her triglyceride level was 325 mg% on the fasting blood. Because of the recurrent abnormal changes, the second course of similar amounts of Royal Jelly was given, starting December 10, 1974 and ending December 27, 1974. At the conclusion of the second course, her cholesterol level decreased to 217 mg% and CLM laboratory's results of triglyceride was 315 mg%. (Normal is 150 mg%).
Three weeks after the second therapy on January 21, 1975, post prandial triglyceride level was maintaining 225 mg%; however 2 weeks later on February 6, 1975, her fasting triglyceride was reaching 325 mg%.
In almost 8 months of follow up observation without Royal Jelly application her triglyceride was fluctuating at abnormal levels, between 340-389, yet lower than the initial level of 15 months ago.
Comments: As per her own statement in the diary, the patient felt euphoria and a feeling of well being and strength and a disappearance of pains in the leg. She also experienced a marked decrease of shortness of breath and chest pain which required elimination of nitroglycerine and other analgesic agents.
The level of triglyceride is known to be related to physical stress. The sudden decrease of triglyceride in this patient may be related to the physical and psychological condition. However, we cannot rule our some other factors which caused a decrease of the triglyceride by the Royal Jelly application. Her triglyceride levels have been always lower than 440 mg% (initial level), for the past year despite regular meals. (Non diet).
CASE NO. 2: (A.R.) My second patient is past middle age, a dentist, who has been suffering from elevated cholesterol. In the past he tried many different diets and atromid medication. His cholesterol level had been fluctuating but he had side effects from the medication.
The initial cholesterol level on May 21, 1975 was 293 mg%. After 3 weeks on continuous use of a 1 teaspoonful twice a day application of Royal Jelly, his cholesterol level reached 240 mg%; his physical feeling was excellent and the three-week follow up showed that his cholesterol maintained 265 mg%. (Slightly
abnormal).
A double check by other laboratories on the same patient revealed initial level 365 mg%; after that 340 mg% and the follow up 301 mg%. (The normal is 300 mg%).
Comments: Complete blood count and other routine chemistry done before and after Royal Jelly application are essentially the same (Normal limits). This case is slightly higher yet the Royal Jelly decreased the amounts to normal. Due to mild initial elevation of cholesterol of this patient, the effect of Royal Jelly is not outstanding, though his cholesterol reached normal level.
CASE NO. 3: This is a hospital electrician in the 30 year age group who was found to have high cholesterol (510 mg% — normal 250). He had no known disease or physical difficulties. The findings were available because of an annual physical employee checkup. He had an interim cholesterol test after three weeks of continuous Royal Jelly application (1 teaspoonful in the morning and in the evening) and with his regular food. His cholesterol level fell half way to normal — 350 mg%.
On February 5, 1975, his initial triglyceride level was 870 mg%. Just before application of the Royal Jelly on March 20, 1975, triglyceride was 849 mg% and cholesterol of 514 mg%. On May 8, 1975 after 5 weeks — triglyceride level was 700 mg% and cholesterol was 387 mg%. In the follow up studies with the Royal Jelly application on Sept. 24, five months later, his triglyceride was 883 mg% and cholesterol 384 mg%.
Comments: He had the same euphoric feeling after Royal Jelly application; increased strength, appetite and libido. As result he had more food, including high calorie food, during this period. His cholesterol level decreased a little over half way and maintained same despite his excessive food intake. Triglyceride in this case was slightly lowered; yet in the follow up result, it is disappointing.
CASE NO. 4: This is a young female laboratory technician, who has been suffering from ulcerative colitis for many years, using many different medications. Lately, she had been taking cortisone with clinical remission with moonfaced side effect. After two weeks of Royal jelly application, patient claims to have not occult blood in the stool for the first time in her disease history, and her physical condition is excellent.
As a control, I myself was involved in a series of testing before and after the Royal Jelly application and always maintained normal levels — 123 mg% triglyceride and 242 mg% cholesterol.
DISCUSSION: The Royal Jelly has been introduced for various conditions in the human being for at least the past 30 years. World literature shows no studies or reports on the triglyceride and cholesterol in the human being.
This initial small experiment with Royal Jelly revealed considerable interest in the efficacy of control on triglycerides and cholesterol in human subjects.
There are many questions to be answered regarding the relationship between Royal Jelly and abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These present studies reveal some merit for the Royal Jelly in regard to abnormal triglyceride and cholesterol in human subjects.
Royal Jelly is one of my favorite food supplements available from Forever Living Products.
Heart attack is a number one killer in the nation. High cholesterol and triglycerides, collectively called lipids, are associated with heart attack, strokes, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis (hardening of the blood vessels). To lower serum triglycerides and cholesterol we may be on a prolonged low calorie diet or on anticholesterol medicine such as clofivrate (Atromid S or L-Lysine). The lowering effect of royal jelly on abnormal cholesterol in experimental rabbits was reported first by Luis Guillermo Cornejo et al in 1973. This experiment showed significant control of cholesterol in rabbit blood, while a high cholesterol diet was given together with royal jelly.
What is Royal Jelly?
Royal Jelly is a thick, milky food which is a secretion of the pharyngeal glands of the young nursing worker bees.
The greater nutritional significance of the royal jelly is the fact that the anatomical and functional differentiation of the female bee larvae is dependent upon the nature of their diet in their early developmental stage. The fertilized eggs give rise to females, either sexually immature small workers or large and fertile queens. All female larvae are fed on royal jelly for the first three days after hatching. Only the queen continues to be fed by royal jelly.
The queen bee is mother to a quarter of a million bees and lays more that 2,000 eggs in one day. The life span of the queen may be four to five years compared to the considerably short life of workers - usually 6 months or less. The unusual nature of royal jelly has prompted many investigations into its chemical nature and pharmacological properties, but the mystery of this material has yet to be completely understood.
Composition of Royal Jelly:
Royal jelly has the following composition: Moisture 66.05%, protein 12.34%, total lipids 5.46%, total reducing substances 12.49%, Ash .62%. Undetermined 2.84%. Royal jelly is a good source of Vitamin B1, 1.0 to 1.5 International Units per Gram. No demonstrable amount of Vitamin A, Vitamin C or Vitamin E is present.
Royal jelly has been separated into four major fractions. Fraction 1 is either soluble material which consists of an organic acid (phenolic material and beeswax, sterol, phospholipin and a saponifiable substance). Fraction 2, water soluble and dialysable, the largest fraction, is about 50% sugar and unidentified acid inorganic salts and nitrogen compounds. Fraction 3, water soluble, non-dialysable, is protein in nature. This includes aspartic acid, arginine and tyrosine, trytophan and histidine. Fraction 4, water insoluble in a protein, soluble only in alkali. It is believed to be tyrosine, trytophan and arginine.
Fraction 1 contains the physiologically active material responsible for sexual development of the queen bees.
Some of the Studies:
Dr. G Townsend et al did extensive investigation on 10-Hydroxydecenoic acid in royal jelly on antitumor activity in mice. Acetylcholin is reported by William H. Brown (1959). Euphoria and strength after royal jelly consumption may be related to neurostimulating substance. A. Toman (1972), failed to demonstrate sex hormone increase in human male subjects.
Case Report on Royal Jelly Experiment for Abnormal Cholesterol & Triglyceride The following are experimental studies which were made by the author. The proper amount of royal jelly to be given to the patients was entirely unknown. The authors personal communication with Dr. Vasser, M.D. , at Miami University convinced me that large amounts of royal jelly are not harmful despite long term application in his geriatric studies.
Royal jelly was supplied by Willson Co. in New York (donated by Royal Jelly Fund). The royal jelly was bottled in colored plastic 1-pound jars and had been stored in a freezer during transportation and dispensed in a mixture of honey (50%). The patient stored royal jelly and honey mix in a regular refrigerator during its use.
CASE NO. 1: (R.S.) This is a 52-year-old white female who had two documented mycardial infarctions in February, 1957 and May, 1968, and a subsequent minor attack in December, 1969 followed by congestive heart failure in January, 1974. (All at St. Mary's Hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y.). Other pertinent history was a total hysterectomy in March 1971. She had anginal pain and shortness of breath associated with excessive perspiration. She also complained of pains in the legs. See attached chart (A) for series of cholesterol and triglyceride test results of same patient.
She was picked up because of her initial triglyceride level being 650 mg% in May, 1975 and her cholesterol level was 276 mg% April 23, 1975. August 16, 1974, she started to take one teaspoonful of Royal Jelly twice a day up to October 6, 1975 (51 days). Just before the initiation of Royal Jelly her triglyceride level was 440 mg%: during the interim, her triglyceride level went down to 204 mg% and 5 weeks later 193 mg%. (Normal up to 200 mg%). After cessation of Royal Jelly application, her triglyceride level elevated to 344 mg% on October 10, 1974. (This blood was post prandial specimen).
On December 2, 1974, her triglyceride level was 325 mg% on the fasting blood. Because of the recurrent abnormal changes, the second course of similar amounts of Royal Jelly was given, starting December 10, 1974 and ending December 27, 1974. At the conclusion of the second course, her cholesterol level decreased to 217 mg% and CLM laboratory's results of triglyceride was 315 mg%. (Normal is 150 mg%).
Three weeks after the second therapy on January 21, 1975, post prandial triglyceride level was maintaining 225 mg%; however 2 weeks later on February 6, 1975, her fasting triglyceride was reaching 325 mg%.
In almost 8 months of follow up observation without Royal Jelly application her triglyceride was fluctuating at abnormal levels, between 340-389, yet lower than the initial level of 15 months ago.
Comments: As per her own statement in the diary, the patient felt euphoria and a feeling of well being and strength and a disappearance of pains in the leg. She also experienced a marked decrease of shortness of breath and chest pain which required elimination of nitroglycerine and other analgesic agents.
The level of triglyceride is known to be related to physical stress. The sudden decrease of triglyceride in this patient may be related to the physical and psychological condition. However, we cannot rule our some other factors which caused a decrease of the triglyceride by the Royal Jelly application. Her triglyceride levels have been always lower than 440 mg% (initial level), for the past year despite regular meals. (Non diet).
