Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) killed at least 43 million people in 2021, equivalent to 75% of non-pandemic-related deaths globally. Much of this can be attributed to poor nutrition and life style. In 2022, 2.5 billion adults (18 years and older) were overweight. Of these, 890 million were living with obesity. Obesity and over weight are responsible for many of the NCDs. In particular, 1 in every 9 adults or 589 million adults are living with diabetes in 2024. In the long term, they are likely contract heart, kidney and eye diseases. 

This is the background in which our company has decided to design a range of tasty common meals that can not only control blood glucose levels but also improve the general health of people. We are working towards the Convergence of Health and Nutrition whereby properly formulated foods can be used to manage, prevent and even cure NCDs. 

Our initial project is to address the burden of diabetes which is also the root cause of heart, kidney and eye diseases. 

From our preliminary pilot study with five patients at various stages of diabetes, we have been able to help an early-stage diabetic patient to achieve glycaemic remission according to current clinical criteria. In another late-stage patient, who had multiple medications and in Stage G3b Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), his blood glucose level was brought under control while eliminating most of his current medication in one month. Furthermore, his kidney condition improved from CKD Stage G3b to G3a. Other patients in various stages of diabetes also had their blood glucose brought under control with the reduction or elimination of medication, including insulin. These patients also enjoyed improvements in renal and liver functions, had lower LDL cholesterol levels, and managed to lose significant amount of weight and some had improvement in blood pressure.
