Nutrition and Weight Loss Tip - Balance Your Hormones!

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:59:00 +0000

Losing weight is a tough job. However, something that can make a big difference is getting your hormone balance right. Most people in western society have too much estrogen compared to progesterone which is no good for people trying to shed some pounds. Estrogen promotes fat storage in fat cells, whereas progesterone promotes fat release from fat cells to be used as energy. Estrogen dominance is also a cause of many other diseases and health complaints. These include allergies, arthritis, candida, PMS, low sex drive, ovarian cysts, high blood pressure, fibroids and infertility/miscarriage to name a few. Hormonal imbalance drastically impairs weight loss and generally occurs due to environmental chemicals from plastics and food, the pill, hormone replacement therapy, household chemicals and nutritional deficiencies. Nutrition can play an important role in balancing your hormones to help you lose weight.

The best thing to do nutritionally, is to increase the amount of foods you are eating that contain phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens have been a natural remedy for women's hormonal problems for hundreds of years. Phytoestrogens block excess estrogen in your body from working, can supply a natural form of estrogen in cases where there is a lack of estrogen and also protect the body from harmful environmental xeno-estrogens by blocking their mechanisms. Foods that are high in phytoestrogens include foods made from the soy bean, such as tofu, tempeh, soy milk and miso. Some other foods that are also high in phytoestrogens are cashews, peanuts, oats, corn, wheat, apples, almonds, rye, lentils, french beans and pomegranates. Another rich source of phytoestrogens are certain types of herbs including black cohosh, alfalfa, licorice, red clover and sage.

Diet and Nutrition Tips For Overweight Women Trying to Lose Weight

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:00:00 +0000

Here are some important diet and nutrition tips that overweight women trying to lose weight should start using. These tips will help to speed up weight loss while making it easier and more enjoyable for you. Please take the next 2 minutes to read this article and consider the important points I bring up.

Diet and Nutrition Tips

1. Focus your snacks on bananas and apples

This tip alone, if used strictly, will help account for about a 1 pound weight loss each week that you do it. Switch off your snacks between apples and bananas. Nothing more. Simple. You get sugar, but it's a natural sugar instead of the processed sugars in junk foods.

2. Eat a vegetable soup or salad before EVERY meal

This is the easiest way to cut out 30-50% of your calories without starving and without being malnourished. The salad can be whatever you want, just as long as it has only vegetables in it. The soup... please make it from scratch and don't use the canned soups. Make a big batch so it lasts you 3 or more days. Look at it this way... you're still allowed to eat your favorite foods. So come on, what's the big deal eating soup or a salad before your meal?

3. Start you day with eggs

A lot of people are overweight because they either skip breakfast or eat a bad breakfast. What happens then is your body is STARVED for nutritious foods so it creates a hunger. Basically, you're on a roller coaster ride because your body is desperate for meaningful calories. It's trying to catch up the rest of the day. NOT GOOD. It's best to FRONT LOAD your calories so you will be less hungry and have less cravings for the rest of the day. Eggs are the perfect choice for a breakfast since they have protein and fill you up.

How to Get Children Involved in Healthy Nutrition

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:58:00 +0000

I was invited to speak to a group of moms last week about various nutrition topics.

One of the main topics we discussed is how to get kids to eat better. It is one of the most difficult things to do, especially after some poor habits have formed. Plus trying to tell kids to eat healthier and forcing the issue isn't going to get you anywhere, and often causes kids to want to continue unhealthy habits even more.

With the overall health of our country and our kids suffering the most, it is time to take action and implement some strategies that are going to get us as a society in the right direction. If you implement these strategies and be CONSISTENT with it (that is a key word), than you will start to see some small changes happen with your kids and their habits.

Strategy #1- This one is the most important- Kids learn best by having a positive example to follow. If you lead by example, your kids will pick up on positive habits and will start to mimic them. What this means is you might have to change your habits too.

Kids will also learn better if you don't preach to them but rather answer questions when they ask. The last thing kids want is another teacher force feeding them information. Give your kids a chance to come to you after they have observed you for a while. This is a big step so don't overlook or pass this one over. Do this first then move forward.

Strategy #2- Get your kids involved in food planning and preparation. Kids love to help. If you are preparing dinner or preparing food ahead of time (highly recommended by the way), have the kids wash the vegetables or put food into seperate containers for easy use later. You can also have kids measure out servings of food, set the table, or make salads (probably should leave the chopping of veggies up to you ;)

Strategy #3- To tag along with Strategy #2, have your kids help you when grocery shopping. Now I don't mean sending them to the other end of the store, but if you have a couple items in your immediate section where they are still visible, have them go get it. They love that, plus it keeps them occupied while you can get your shopping done.

Strategy #4- Recognize your kids. At dinner or during a meal announce that Jimmy or Susan made the salad or picked out the fruit for the fruit dish. Kids feel good about themselves when they helped AND get recognized for it.

What You Need to Know About Zinc Nutrition

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:58:00 +0000

6 Simple Nutrition Tips For Sexy Abs

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:56:00 +0000

Your body fat level plays the biggest role in whether or not you have sexy abs to show off.

You can do all the ab exercises you want but if your abs are covered with a layer of fat, no one is going to see them no matter how developed they may be. So get your nutrition in order.

1. Don't Go Shopping Without A List

This is huge. You must know beforehand what you need to get at the grocery store for two big reasons.

If you don't, you'll end up making impulse buys of food you shouldn't have in the house.

Not if you want to stick to your nutrition program and show off your sexy abs.

By having a list you can go directly to the food items you need and avoid all the junk food areas that the store tries to make you walk through since these are high profit items.

2. Read Food Labels

You may be surprised what's in certain foods or how many calories are in a serving (a serving is NOT the entire bottle or bag).

3. Get Your Fruit

Besides all the myriad health benefits of fruit, it will also help to satisfy the sweet tooth that most of us have.

4. Eat Before You Go

Never go food shopping on an empty stomach. You'll end up buying a lot of things you wouldn't get otherwise.

Going food shopping while hungry is a great way to sabotage your health and fitness program.

5. Get Your Vegetables

Be sure to get a variety of veggies in different colors so you get a wide range of vitamins and minerals.

6. Get Your Protein

This can come in the form of chicken breasts, tuna (packed in water), turkey (not the lunch meat kind) or lean cuts of beef.

By following these six food shopping tips you'll make sure to have the right food in your house.

Why Nutrition is Important

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:18:00 +0000

Although it is generally known why good nutrition is essential for daily living, there are still a lot of people who ask questions on why is nutrition important. This is probably because these people want cut and dried answers as to why they should stop eating the junk food that they have been living on for years. Actually, nutrition should be seen of as one of the major aspects in life that people should see as very important. This is because nutrition is what keeps everyone going no matter what they do. Exercise is great for the health and the body, however, without the proper nutrition, this would be quite meaningless.

The most important aspect about nutrition that everyone should be aware about is that it is the thing that fuels our body's systems everyday. This is basically what answers the question why is nutrition important. The food that everyone takes in everyday, which is the most important component of nutrition, is what provides their body with the nutrients that it needs to help in the bodily functions. These nutrients are the essential vitamins and nutrients that are needed by the body's systems to work properly, so that people will be able to go on their daily lives as well. So, if anyone will look at it, nutrition is what boosts the immune system of the body, its circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems and its overall health. Just think what would happen to a person if he will not eat for one whole day. He will be the weak the next day and his mind and body would not function as well as when he would have eaten the required amounts of food the other day.

Fat Loss Nutrition - 4 Powerful Foods to Eat on a Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 08:15:00 +0000

Hi guys! In this article I would like to talk about the importance of fat loss nutrition and what foods to eat on a diet.

Fat loss nutrition is the most important aspect of any diet. No diet will work effectively if you are not eating the correct foods on a daily basis.

It doesn't matter how long you run on a treadmill, how many crunches you do, etc., it all comes right down to what is going into your belly.

Foods to eat on a diet fall into just a few simple to understand categories.

* Protein: You must get an adequate amount of protein daily for fat loss and to build lean muscle. Your protein sources can come from protein supplements (such as shakes), turkey, all white chicken breast, almonds, fish, and more.

* Healthy Fats: Monounsaturated/Omega 3. Some foods you can find healthy fats in are fish and nuts.

* Fiber: Excellent fiber sources can be found in oats, whole wheat foods, apples, and more.

* Vitamins/Minerals: This should be a no-brainer here. Fruits and veggies. Eating fruits and veggies through out the day should be a simple task. I know fruits and veggies are getting a little expensive nowadays.....however.... The same amount of money it would cost for a pack of cookies, you can get 4 apples. For the same amount of money it would cost for a large bag of chips, you could get broccoli, and a bag of carrots. You see where I'm going with this?

Nutrition - The Required Resource Needed For Survival

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:09:00 +0000

Also known as the nutrients and the nourishment it is basically the stipulation of the required resources needed for survival to the cells inside the body. Presence of these nutrients can assuage and bar the common ailments, whereas in contrast its absence can result in a condition called malnutrition, which is faced by numerous developing countries around the globe.

The meal that a person consumes is his diet. And people who have dedicated themselves to this field, give advices about the respective nutrition and its value are known as the dietitians. They extend their assistance in the setting up and the making of the meals. They are qualified nutritionists who work for the provision of secure and harmless dietary options to the individuals.

The absence of nutrition can result in many dietary disorders/ailments. Its deficiency can have an overall adverse effect on the mental and physical health. Several health ailments such as gum diseases, avitaminosis and fatness are caused by its insufficiency. Off the serious ailments heart problems, bone troubles and diabetes are at the top of the list.

For this purpose the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables should be maintained in contrast to a repetitive food regime. It results in the provision of increased levels of nutrients per calorie which eventually lead to both the administration and preservation of the growth cells in the body and an improved sugar count in the blood.

Liquid Nutrition That Works

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 08:07:00 +0000

Unfortunately most of these come in a pill or cap form that many just can not tolerate. The good news is that those that do not wish to get their daily dose of nutrition from large horse looking pills now have an option to get it from a liquid. The bad news is, there are now several so called "liquid nutrition solutions" out there that are just plain garbage. So now the question is how to find a liquid nutrition that works?

I have to admit that I am one of those people that hates having to swallow a pill on a daily basis to give my body the essentials that it needs. Since this was the case I was very interested in finding an alternative. It did not take long for me to discover that there were liquid forms of multi- vitamins. I automatically assumed that they all would be the same, so I bought anything that had liquid nutrition on the bottle. After going through several brands of these I realized that all liquid nutrition's are not the same.

I was really convinced that all these types of products were nasty tasting and non effective. Then I found Veriuni's Advanced Liquid Nutrition. After reading about this product I was very curious to see if it could be as good as it was being portrayed in reviews and in advertisements. So I bought my first bottle and was very impressed! The first thing that stood out about Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition was the great peach taste. Other liquid nutritions that I have tried in the past were horrible tasting and considering that your supposed to take this stuff everyday, you would want it to taste good.

Triathlon Nutrition Made Easy

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:03:00 +0000

Physical activity is definitely important if you're trying to be healthy, but it's just as important to include proper nutrition in your lifestyle. This is even more critical for anyone who's training for a triathlon.

Food is fuel, and when one of the things you should be doing when preparing for a triathlon is making sure your giving your body the right fuel. Changes to your diet may be in order to make sure that you're getting the right triathlon nutrition, and you may even want to consider taking supplements.

You'll have a far better chance of succeeding if you eat the right foods and consume the proper amount of calories, minerals, and vitamins. Your body needs to be in tip-top shape if you really want to succeed. That means you'll need to be in good shape, follow the proper training regimen, and do what you can to avoid any injuries.

Nutrition For the Elderly is Important!

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 07:56:00 +0000

Nutrient deficiencies appear to increase with age. Some colleagues at the University of Iowa looked at over 400 Iowans 79 and older living independently in rural areas and found that 80 percent reported consuming inadequate amounts of four or more nutrients. When declining energy requirements are not matched by decreased caloric intake then total body fat increases. The Atkins diet leaves your body shy on some important nutrients, such as vitamin B, and also is negative for vitamins A, C and D, anti-oxidants that slow the effects of aging and calcium. Once again the lack of exercise has to enter into the equation also.

I'll Have What She's Having! Nutrition Tips That Will Increase Your Energy Level

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:17:00 +0000

A classic line from When Harry Met Sally. While I don't have tips on how to improve your sex life, I can give some ideas for improving your energy level. Which, if you think about it, probably will improve your sex life too! You've heard us say before to eat your fruits and veggies, and the fact of the matter is that they are an outstanding source of energy. So chomp on some carrots when you get the mid-afternoon sleepies, and don't forget that you are an example to your family. When your kids see you eating fruits and veggies, they will do the same.

Tip #2 for improving your energy level is to eat breakfast everyday. When you skip breakfast, you don't lose weight, I promise. You slow down your metabolism by trying to preserve energy. Breakfast absolutely helps you get a jump start on your day. What to eat for breakfast you ask? Oatmeal is always a great option. It's great for your heart, cleans the blood, and gives you fiber. Try it with some berries if you need a little sweetness, skip the sugar and cinnamon. Yogurt with low-fat granola and berries is yummy, and you can even get that at McDonalds!

Tip #3- water, water, water. Drink half of your weight in ounces every day. A little dehydration can slow you down! While on the subject of drinks, try to cut out caffeine. You all know Diet Coke is my poison of choice, so it's hard for me to preach about this one. Here's what some experts say on the topic "...caffeine and sweets are fake energy, they will give you a temporary boost in energy followed by an inevitable crash. These stimulants can cause insomnia, anxiety and lead to some diseases." While I do drink a lot of Diet Coke, I try to drink just as much water each day.

Tip #4 for increased energy is to plan your meals ahead of time and keep nutritious choices in your pantry. Always have fresh fruits and veggies in your fridge and keep the soda far away, like in the basement so you'll have to walk a long way to get one when it might just be easier to get a glass of water. If you need flavor, try some Vitamin Water. And finally, enjoy what you eat! There are so many delicious ways to prepare healthy foods, don't look at it like you're being deprived of certain foods. It's hard to be successful when you think "oh dear, I can never have a chocolate chip cookie again! How will I ever survive?" To make that lifestyle adjustment, look at all of the things you can eat! Be glad you don't have some crazy allergy. Look on line for new and different healthy recipes. Vegetarians do it and do it well, so can you!

5 Keys to Race Day Nutrition for Your Next Triathlon

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:14:00 +0000

I am often asked by triathletes, "What should I eat to kick butt in my next triathlon?" The answer is, "It depends."

I'm not a nutritionist, but I have learned a lot about my own nutrition planning through years of training experience. Each individual is different, and if you really want a personalized plan you should seek out a professional nutritionist.

Some basic tricks to proper triathlon nutrition include figuring out what will keep the athlete fueled for optimal performance (and help them recover quickly after the event or workout). Here are the 3 key factors to consider:

1. What are you doing (i.e. swimming, biking or running - or all three) and how intense will you be exercising? 2. How long will you be training? 3. What can you stomach or tolerate?

There is no one diet plan for all triathletes. Nevertheless, there are some rules of thumb you can use to figure out your very own high performance diet.

The first thing you have to figure out is your fuel needs - in other words, how many calories do you need to consume to prevent your body from shutting down and your performances to whither.

4 Tips on Nutrition to Help With Your Weight Loss Routine

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:46:00 +0000

Nutrition is a major part of all weight loss routines. Exercise alone will only take you so far, but if you do not give your body the building blocks it needs to recuperate, regenerate, and rebuild, you will see absolutely no progress. When people do not see results from their hard work studies have shown that the rate people that stop exercising reaches over ninety percent.

So do yourself a favor and heed the advice of these tips that I am about to give you so you do not fall into that ninety percentile failure rate. Failing is never a bad thing in itself. What makes failing bad is not learning from what caused you to fail in the first place. You need to take that knowledge and use it to head in the right direction.

Discover Nutrition For Athletes to Fire Up Your Performance With Nutrient Dense All Natural Foods

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:44:00 +0000

To find the best nutrition for athletes available today, you should be aware that many of the all natural foods in our grocery stores are devoid of real nutrition. The artificial fertilizers used over the past century have created artificially enhanced plants that are lacking a density of nutrients needed to provide optimum nutrition for athletes. Farmers can grow big green plants and bright red tomatoes that look good, but as the soil is depleted year after year, so are the nutrients. No amount of artificial fertilizer can recreate what nature made for us.

The filming of a recent documentary about global change featured scientists who drilled holes in the Arctic in search of what was under the ice. Digging down thousands of feet these scientists discovered what they believe is soil that has been preserved under ice for thousands of years. This soil from ages past was so loaded with nutrients it can be surmised that the inhabitants of that time possibly lived on robust vegetables that were hundreds of times more nutrient dense than the food we eat today. Imagine if we had all natural foods like fruits and vegetables providing that kind of nutrition for athletes today.

Nutrition Facts For Coffee

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 02:58:00 +0000

There's not much else in coffee apart from caffeine yet we all drink it and take little time to know where it grows, how it's produced and how it affects our brains and bodies. Surely something this good must be bad for you. Au contraire! There is on-going scientific evidence that 2-4 cups of coffee a day (based on a 6oz serving) offers more health benefits than you may know. Earlier studies have often clouded these benefits because of lifestyle associations such as smoking

A Powerful Nutrition Secret: Food Combining

noreply@blogger.com (Juicy) — Thu, 15 May 2008 00:31:00 +0000

I do not endorse fad diets. I also do not make a practice of recommending health and wellness habits that are not backed by sound scientific studies and data.

The process begins with an understanding of how the body digests food. Different types of food require different types of digestive enzymes for proper food breakdown. For example, carbohydrate foods require carbohydrate enzymes, whereas protein foods require protein enzymes. While the carbohydrate enzymes will only properly function in a non-acidic, or alkaline, environment, the protein enzymes will only properly function in an acidic environment.

Nutrition Food To Achieve Six Pack Abs

You will be less likely to eat junk food when it is out of your sight or it does not even exist in your house. Some people including myself will ransack the house for food when we are doing nothing or watching the television and that is the killer part. The best solution is to keep only the healthy food in your house. So when you make your grocery trip the next time, be sure to pick up the healthy food if you want to lose fat.

Pregnancy and Nutrition

Our body requires food to keep us going and we need to take nutritious food in order to keep our body healthy and fit and to supply enough energy for our day to day routine life. In the case of body builders, it is a whole new ball game as they work out very regularly and they push their limits day after day. Due to this strenuous work schedule and the constant exertion, their body needs a lot more energy than what others actually need in a day. This is the reason why body building nutrition is a very important thing to take care of if you are a body builder.
