Fats

Hi,

To eat or not to eat that's the question when it comes to FATS.As we all know there are good fats and bad fats but lots of people don't focus on good or bad part. People who love sugar and bread then they just take fats without even thinking of good or bad. People are health conscious they don't even take good fat. So lets differentiate them and make a balance out of it.

Everything you eat could be good and healthy to your body if you take the right amount of it. We all think that fruits are good for health and you bet they are but some fruits have enormous amount of sugar which could be dangerous to our health. Donouts and grapes have lots of sugar but grapes have a good sugar fat not that because its a fruit rather it has vitamin C as well so that balance the amount of sugar in that fruit but donouts only have carbs and sugar, nothing else.

For example we all love cheese and Mexican food but avocado is a good fat and sour cream is not. When it comes to cheese then processed cheese is less healthier that feta cheese or goat cheese. There are some point for good fats and bad fats which you can avoid or maintain on daily basis.

Good Fats :

Oil (Olive, Soybean or Sunflower)
Cheese (Feta or Goat)
Milk (skim)
Indian Cheese (tofu or Cottage Cheese)
Yogurt (check the amount of sugar in the back)
Ice Cream (skinny Cow)
Bread (Brown with oats)

We all should everything if we exercise on daily basis and if we cant do that then we all should control our own urges.This all information is only for adults cos we have less metabolism than a teenager or a kid. So we all have to watch what we eat which is not a bad thing.

Eat healthy.

Sugar..

Hey all,

This is my second health topic which I would like to talk about or share with you all.
Sugar is an important part of our daily food intake. It gives us energy, good fats and bad fats as well and we all know about it. So who decided the limit? It all depends on our age, our body type, our consumption amount and our habit to balance it out.

So first I would like to discuss age, as we all know already that "we all lose calories when we are kid, preteen or proper teenager.And as the age grows the process of sugar burning goes slow so we all have to watch what we eat.

Then it depends a lot on our body type if we are small, medium or big. And people who are small then they have to watch more than medium or regular people. I am small and i get full fast and empty fast but at the the same time I have to watch my eating habits cos being a small height person my food proportion has to be balanced.

Consumption about is related to the body type, if we are big then we need good amount of food and if we are petite then watch what you eat.

And then most important is to balance it out like i have discussed in my first blog. Eat, Walk eat exercise and enjoy. Try to have 4-5 meals a day and when it comes to meals the apple is meal too.

Now lets discuss sugar that how we can have good sugar intake and bad sugar outtake. We all have sweet tooth so what should do we when we crave "chocolate fudge brownie" ice cream well make it at home or get the low calorie ice cream.When we drink juice which is a healthy beverage then we all have to check out the sugar in the back. All processed foods have sugar like bread, juice, milk, let alone deserts. So make sure you are checking the sugar before you eating it.

We all love chocolate one time or another so now we all should avoid eating milk chocolate cos that have lots of calories and sugar and instead we should have Dark Chocolate cos it has less sugar and more antioxidants.

So folks educate yourself with all these very small habits and change your routine and life style and we all will get there cos the motto is not just to loose the weight but instead having a healthy weight.

Bye for now..
