On The Trail Of Processed Foods


On the trail of processed foods

Processed foods are high in the hierarchy of forbidden temptations. We know that the nutritional value of such products is lower than that of food that is not preserved, cooked, frozen, dried, ground, or salted and sweetened. But not all processed foods are unhealthy and should be avoided. The trick is to choose the right ones that, ironically, may turn out to be a very good source of valuable ingredients for you.

You need to know that produce loses important nutritional value a few hours after picking. This is because life processes are going on in them all the time. Lowering the temperature below 0 °C slows down these processes threefold. So frozen fruits are undoubtedly better than those stored at room temperature.

"You are what you eat " Eating for hormonal problem

The key to everything is balance. If we are talking about hormones balance is even more important. A healthy and energetic body is exactly connected with harmony between various hormones.

If one part of the body is disturbed it can cause chaos. All body parts are one working organ connected to each each other.

Hormonal disorders can have a variety of symptoms. In women, it can lead to disorders of the menstrual cycle and increased nervousness. In men it often leads to erectile dysfunction and lack of energy. Hormonal imbalances are also one of the most common reasons for weight gain.

Hormones are controlled for the balance of the physical and mental parts of the body. The action of hormones is interdependent. For example, you cannot pay attention to estrogen by itself without paying attention to your thyroid …

Valentine Dining


Eat Me, FIT Me

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach – although this is an old saying no one can deny the importance of food. This Valentine’s Day couples are more happy to share a romantic dinner for the other half and indulge in sweet desserts.

It is not without reason that this holiday of lovers is famous for delicacies made of…. chocolate. Thanks to the cocoa (so the more, the better!) chocolate is an aphrodisiac that is rich in stimulating phenylethylamine (which quickly releases endorphins) and theobromine, or caffeine, that increases activity and strengthen.

Probably a lot of you think, what, if I am on a diet? Don’t worry, we have some great Valentine snack suggestions for you to prepare that will be perfect for your next romantic evening. These are all tasty AND healthy!

Fiber – The Truth Or Big Myth


Fiber - The Truth Or Big Myth

Dietary fiber is the only type of “harmless” carbohydrate and is mostly non-starchy carbohydrate that the human body cannot digest. Interestingly, in the past fiber was considered unnecessary and only litters our digestive system and impairing the absorption of various substances. As science and knowledge progressed there began many reports about the beneficial effects of fiber. It was supposed to protect against diabetes, heart attacks and some said it cured cancer. But now we know that it is what are the benefits and what we can leave for fairy tales.

A few facts:

Fiber, being a non-digestible filler, causes a faster feeling of fullness (full stomach). People who eat a lot of fiber, yes, they are actually leaner and healthier, BUT not because fiber has a beneficial effect on their bodies, but because they eat less (and provide the body …
