Some Facts about Nutrition


* Don`t keep bad food in the house, you’ll be more likely to eat it. How to manage hardcore diets? Easily, keep only healthy foods at home. Overeating with broccoli is better than cheating with chocolate.

 * Don`t believe whats written and said on a box, like “whole grain” or “fitness”, it doesn’t make it healthy. Labels such as “healthy” or “fitness” are mostly used for marketing purposes. They are by no means reflecting the quality of the product. In fact, some “fitness” products are more harmful than ordinary ones. Be careful and read the labels closely.

 * Muscle glycogen is about 3 parts water to 1 part glucose. This means that increased carbohydrate consumption ion goes hand-in-hand with increase water consumption. Adequate water consumption is vital for the proper utilization of carbohydrates.

 * You can get glucose from both protein and fat - not just carbohydrates. Protein and fat are essential nutrients, but carbohydrates are not. The human body has complex mechanism of transforming protein and fat into glucose, needed for energy. 

 * More protein to burn more fat, that’s why high-protein diets help burn fat faster.

 * Cooking food at a very high temperature can lower some nutrient content and make some more bio available. Long high-temperature boiling destroys the micronutrient profile of vegetables.

 * Eating at night does not make you fat - overeating does. It’s not about when you eat, but rather how it fits into your overall caloric consumption. 

 * Two cups of green tea per day can increase your metabolic activity and fat burning. When calories drop, the metabolism tends to slow down, so having green tea is a good way to keep it running.

To keep control of sugar levels, we need to know just how much sugar there is in the food we eat. Note: I don't differentiate between different types of sugar - i.e., sucrose, fructose, cane sugar, corn syrup, honey, etc., although there are differences in how these sugars are metabolized.
