      So the main difference between good and bad carbohydrates is that when carbohydrates are found in natural foods its much healthier compared to foods in that are unprocessed. Examples of this would be fruits, vegetables, and whole nuts and seeds etc. Bad carbohydrates are foods that are unprocessed foods, that have taken the nutrients and fiber have been removed. Example is McDonald's From this information, it has really opened my eyes that McDonald's is not healthy at all it has bad carbohydrates, which is really bad for me, because  I do not want to just throw off insulin productions, causing fluctuations in blood glucose levels. By reading this, it really does scare me, it has given me a heads up. 
  • Basic Differences One basic difference between the quality of carbohydrates is nutrition. The carbohydrates found in natural foods are healthier than those in processed foods. While carbohydrates are an essential part of good nutrition, getting too many carbohydrates from the wrong sources can increase your risk for diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
  • Good Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are what you want the most of in your diet. They provide the body with the fuel it needs for energy. Good carbohydrates are found in foods that have not been processed, but are eaten pretty much in their natural states. Fruits, leafy green vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds are all sources of healthy carbohydrates.

  • Bad Carbohydrates Bad carbohydrates are the refined, highly processed carbohydrates from which most of the nutrients and fiber have been removed. White flour and refined sugar contained in many processed foods are primary examples of bad carbohydrates. The body has trouble processing these foods, and therefore, they do not digest well. Simple starches and sugars throw off insulin production, causing fluctuations in blood glucose levels. Most foods that contain bad carbohydrates provide empty calories with little or no nutritional value. As a result, the body stores these extra calories in the cells as fat.
  • Benefits of Carbohydrates Good carbohydrates are high fiber foods that help you feel full longer. These are carbohydrates that are chock full of vitamins and minerals that your body needs on a daily basis. Low glycemic carbohydrates break down slowly during digestion, releasing glucose into the bloodstream gradually, thereby helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that break down quickly have high glycemic indexes, causing blood sugar to rise quickly. Consuming a diet low in energy density means eating fewer refined carbohydrates and more unrefined carbohydrates that are high in nutrients. Including more good carbohydrates in your diet can help you lose excess body fat and feel more energized.
  • A healthy diet must include carbohydrates, which are broken down into glucose that the body's cells use as energy

      There are good and bad carboydrates so it is important to avoid the bad ones. The carbohydrates which we find in processed foods are ofcourse unhealthy compared to those we find in natural foods. Bad carbs are high processed carbohydrates from which the good parts (fiber and nutrients) are removed. Example are white flour and refined sugar.

      In reality al carbohydrates are not all fattening because there are good and bad carbohydrates. If your overweight, than you should know you probably consume more bad carbohydrates than good ones. Sugar is an example of a bad carbohydrates.
  • A carbohydrate is a special type of calorie which contains extra energy, which is why you'll feel more energetic when eating foods which are rich in carbohydrates.
  • truth is that not all carbs are fattening, because there are different types of carbs -- there are "good carbs" and there are "bad carbs"
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Sugar is a type of bad carb,
  • if you eat good carbs (instead of bad carbs) then your blood sugar level will not skyrocket after each meal, and thus you can burn fat and lose weight much easier.

      Carbohydrates are one the basic nutrients your body needs so it can function properly. Bad carbohyrdrates are refind as simple sugar. The bad carbohydrates give you a rise in your blood sugar and also cause you increase/gain weight. Which can also lead to diabetes. Good carbohydrates do not rise your blood sugar they help keep it in control.

      It is quite frightening to know that preservatives can keep food fresh for that long. In a modern world we do use a lot of preservatives in our foods, but that doesn't mean that it is our only option. Try your best whenever you can to stick to more organic or local choices that are far better for you.

      This article is fantastic in banishing my concerns about meat in my diet. I always think that meat is a source of great fat but it tastes great. This article acts kind of like a cook book and tells you how should be eating your meat so that it's healthy for you and won't kill you! Also preparing your own meals is a good way to learn some cooking skills, save some money from going to McDonalds, and it's healthy!

      WOW! This video is absolutely mind-blowing. At he beginning I did wonder how meat was going to tie into global warming, but it's absolutely appalling to find out that livestock produces more pollution than transport around the world. This video is one of many on youtube, and it shows us how we are all the ones to blame for global warming as well. Our demands for meat have lead to immediate production of "synthesized" meat that may taste juicier to us, but is actually really bad for our health. The decisions we make for our diet affect our health and the environment, so always think twice.

Should I Take A Protein Supplement Before Working Out? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

supplement working before after healthy protein training

shared by Wasif H on 06 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Photo Credit Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images Active people involved in resistance training regularly take protein supplements to promote muscle strength, enhance muscle recovery and gain muscle size, as acknowledged in an article by Robert R Wolfe in the August 2000 issue of the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition."
  • An effective protein supplement used before or after working out should contain the nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in the body. The optimum combination of amino acids renders them "complete proteins." These are protein supplements derived from animal or dairy sources.
  • Writing in Bodybuilding.com, bodybuilder Hugo Rivera categorizes five types of protein used in supplements according to their bio-availability value--ability of the body to assimilate and use protein.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The five are: whey protein, egg protein, milk protein also known as calcium cassienate or micellar protein, beef protein in the form of liver tablets, and soy protein.
  • Weight gainers are a blend of protein, carbohydrates and fats, with a high calorie content designed to help you gain weight. They are particularly useful if you are a hard-gainer with low body-fat and a high metabolic rate. Meal replacement powders are a blend of protein and carbs, but lower in calories than weight gainers. Protein powders typically contain no more than 5 percent carbohydrates. Protein bars contain proteins and sugars. Ready to drink protein shakes, contain low carbs and essential fatty acids. Beef liver tablets, a protein supplement that dates back to the 1960s.
  • Take a weight-gainer protein supplement or meal replacement supplement within an hour of finishing your work out. These contain simple carbohydrates to replenish muscle stores of glycogen used as energy during your work out, and a blend of quickly assimilated whey protein and sustained release milk protein to accelerate muscle recovery and enhance growth. Hoffman believes the insulin response generated by simple carbs helps the body's uptake of amino acids.
  • Muscle breakdown occurs during resistance exercise and depletes the muscles stock of the branch chain amino acids, leucine, iso-leucine and valine. Take a quick digesting protein supplement like whey protein before your work out. An article by Jay R Hoffman PHD. in the December 2007 edition of the "National Strength and Conditioning Journal," suggests taking a protein supplement immediately before your workout enhances muscle growth.

Exercise Addiction

shared by Aninder S on 09 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Exercise addiction may not necessarily sound like a bad thing to everyone. After all, numerous studies have demonstrated the physical and emotional health benefits of regular exercise -- it is essential to our well-being
  • exercise addiction is maladaptive, so instead of improving the person’s life, it is causes more problems.
  • Exercise addiction can threaten health, causing injuries, physical damage due to inadequate rest, and in some instances (particularly when co-occurring with an eating disorder), malnutrition and other problems.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Secondly, it is persistent, so an exercise addict exercises too much and for too long without giving the body a chance to recover
  • exercise addicts exercise for hours every day, regardless of fatigue or illness
  • Exercise addiction is probably the most contradictory of all the addictions
  • Exercise is even promoted as part of a complete program of recovery from other addictions
  • exercise addiction is a controversial idea. Many experts balk at the idea that excessive exercise can constitute an addiction, believing that there has to be a psychoactive substance that produces symptoms -- such as withdrawal -- for an activity to be a true addiction
  • exercise releases endorphins (opioids produced within the body), and excessive exercise causes tolerance to the hormones and neurotransmitters released, these physiological processes are often not considered comparable to other substance addictions.
  • Exercise addiction is not currently included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), the gold standard for psychological diagnoses, although several authors have suggested diagnostic criteria

    There are good protein bars for you and bad protein bars. To distinguish the difference, good protein bars would contain things like less sugar and have high carbohyrdrates and proteins. But something that is even better than protein bars, is protein shakes because shakes are digested faster by your body than solid food. Also you have more control over the protein shake than a bar, due to the fact, you can make your protein shake from scratch and know what's being put into it. Only good thing about protein bars is that they are convienent when you don't have time to whip up a protein shake. Another way is you don't need to have protein bars nor shakes, you can simply take natural alternatives like nuts, which are high in protein, healthy and convienent too.

      This website shows how even healthy foods have many calories but are way better to eat than foods that are high in calories. One main example is the difference between the amount of calories in nuts and seeds vs. junk food. For example, macadamia buts have 718 calories. Yet they are full of vitamns, minerals and healthy fibers and fats. On the other hand, junk food is very high in calories but are also very unhealthy.
