To maintain good health, it's <br> important to eat a balanced combination of these nutrients, and eat <br> about the same number of calories you use up during daily activities. <br> Because, when you consume more calories than your body uses, the <br> "extra energy" taken in is stored as fat.</p> <p align="right"><font size="4"><strong>Carbohydrates - The Food Your Body Prefers</strong></font> </p> <p align="right">Finding Complex Carbs Is Easy. Why are Carbohydrates so important? <br> The reason is because Carbohydrates is the most efficient source <br> of energy for working muscles and your bodys prime source of <br> energy. During activity, your bodys stored up carbohydrates (stored<br> in muscle tissues and called glycogen) is drawn on and diminished first.<br> So it's important to have an adequate supply of carbohydrates <br> available before a workout and to replenish with a <br> high-carbohydrate snack or meal after to help your body recover. </p> <p align="right"><font size="4"><strong>Carbohydrates - Two Forms - Two Effects</strong></font></p> <p align="right">· Simple carbs are sugars (white and brown sugar, honey, fruit and<br> rice syrups, for example). These carbs supply a quick energy lift. <br> · Complex carbs are starches that release energy into the body over<br> a longer period of time. </p> <p align="right"><br> <font size="4"><strong>Protein - How Your Body Rebuilds </strong></font></p> <p align="right">Proteins are very important for healthy muscles, skin, blood <br> and organs and comprise about 20% of your body. Amino acids <br> are the "building blocks" of protein; they help build and repair tissues.<br> Of the twenty different amino acids, some can be produced by <br> the body and others can't. The nine amino acids not produced by <br> the body are called Essential Amino Acids (EAA) because it is <br> essential that you obtain them from the foods you eat. Foods containing <br> all of the EAAs are called complete proteins; examples are eggs, milk, <br> meats, chicken, turkey and fish. <br> Incomplete proteins lack one or two EAAs. However, <br> by combining complementary incomplete proteins, you can <br> "create your own" version of a complete protein that contains all<br> the EAAs. Simply combine proteins from two of these three <br> groups: Mixing and matching incomplete proteins from any two <br> of these three groups is not only a good way to obtain all the <br> EAAs, it also helps you eat a variety of foods (such as whole <br> grains, legumes, nuts and seeds) and maintain a balanced diet. </p> <p align="right"><font size="4"><strong>Facts About Fat</strong></font> <br> You need some fat in your diet. Fat is an aid in digestion. They <br> help transfer vitamins and are important for healthy skin, hair and joints.<br> As with everything, the key is "MODERATION". The American Heart <br> Association recommends a diet containing less than 30% of calories<br> from fat; the average American diet contains a whopping 40% fat. <br> High-fat diets, especially those high in saturated fats, have been<br> linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease, high blood <br> pressure, and some forms of cancer. In addition, a diet high in fat<br> is typically higher in calories, which can lead to unwanted <br> weight gain. For these reasons, it's a good idea to limit your<br> intake of saturated fats to 10% of total calories. For a 2,000 <br> calorie-a-day diet, this equivalent to 20 grams of saturated fat<br> (about one and a half tablespoons) per day. Unsaturated <br> fatseither mono unsaturated or polyunsaturated a better choice. </p> <p align="left"><font size="4"><strong>Tips for Reducing Fat: </strong></font><br> · Eat fried foods sparingly. <br> · Choose "white" meat (chicken, turkey and fish) more often. <br> · If eating red meat, opt for leaner cuts such as top round, sirloin, <br> top loin or flank steak. <br> · Read Labels. Packaged snacks and other processed foods <br> can be loaded with "hidden" fat. Check serving sizes, too. (Be careful some labels can be deceiving)<br> · Choose lower fat dairy alternatives (e.g. nonfat or low fat <br> milk, yogurt, low fat sour cream, mozzarella cheese.) </p> </td> </tr> </table> </div></td> </tr> </table> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-174705-4']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
