The importance of the fruit


It is recommended to take 400 grams or 5 servings of fruit a day , but consumption of these foods among the European population is still insufficient. Associating a healthy diet by eating fruits and vegetables is an axiom known by all. Now the theory is one thing and quite another to put it into practice . A report by the European Council Food Information ( EUFIC) has analyzed the factors influencing the consumption of fruit and vegetables in Europe. The study reveals that in Europe are made, on average, diariamante 220 ​​grams of vegetables (including legumes and nuts ) and 166 grams of vegetables. Even so , the intake does not exceed more than 400 grams , including both food recommended by WHO .



Among children , data is even more disturbing because it hardly eat 85 grams of vegetables and fruit 140 grams per day . It is proved that the level of consumption of fruit and vegetables in children depends on their parents teach by example is key. 400 grams or " 5 servings a day " fruit and vegetable The World Health Organization proposed as dietary goal to eat at least 400 grams daily of fruits, vegetables and greens to be indisputable source of nutrients such as vitamins , minerals and trace elements , fiber and a countless variety of phytochemicals, many with antioxidant protective effect. Is widespread in Spain , the expression "5 a day " to remember the importance of eating these foods daily. It insists that it is advisable to take two servings of vegetables and three of fruit, of which at least one should be a fruit rich in vitamin C (oranges , tangerines , strawberries , kiwi , cantaloupe, etc. . ) . However, it should not obsess if you do not get to eat the "5 pieces or servings per day " , since according to the size of the fruit or vegetable (eg, there are apples , pears and tomatoes almost a quarter of a kilo ) is reached without difficulty ingesting 400 grams of vegetables recommended by WHO .
Search the moment ? Breakfast with fruit? There has to be seen as an obligation. If you do not want to eat the fruit right up, you can stop for lunch or a snack. Fruits must pick them seasonal . Thus, in winter , they may crave more fruit compote and roasted , and facing the spring and summer when there is more variety of fruit, like to eat fresh , natural . Always juice ? Not worth always choose juice instead of fruit because its nutrients are not equivalent. The glass of juice, if natural, has twice the sugar and less fiber. This is because generally double the amount of fruit ( two orange ) is used to fill a glass of juice compared to eating a whole piece ( orange).
For those who are recognized by peeling the fruit lazy or can not find the right time to take a moment should be reserved a week to make a colorful and tasty salad with seasonal fruit . Between meals , you only need to open the fridge and serve a good bowl of assorted fresh fruit. A good resolution to eat healthy. Salad for lunch . Shared an entree salad snack leads to ' green ' in the food without making too much effort. It is also a good habit to younger will soon get used to the usual presence of fresh vegetables . Leverage Season to vary the salads is a smart way to eat : in autumn-winter more salads escarole , endive , warm salads mixed with mushrooms and fungi, more energetic with nuts ... and in spring - summer salads lighter colorful and fresh tomatoes, peppers , beets, cucumbers, carrots ... Soups and vegetable puree for dinner. People who notice a feeling of swollen tummy and heaviness after eating lettuce or salad at night instead of not taking these dishes have to change the habit . The advice is to book the salads for lunch and leave for dinner temperate dishes like vegetable soups , creams and stews .

While the reference food as a source of calcium is milk , other nuts as a higher content of this mineral.



And within this group , almonds stand above the rest , with a calcium content of 250 mg per 100 g; substantial when compared to cow's milk ( 120-125 mg/100 g).

Moreover yogurt has more advantages than the milk in absorbing vitamins. The lactic acid formed improves the assimilation of phosphorus , calcium , potassium and magnesium

fish
The fish is a "crucial" food for its nutritional and protective properties due to marine oils it contains.
Fish is important because it provides proteins. It also contains healthy fats , omega 3 fatty acids, some minerals , especially iodine , zinc, iron , phosphorus , sodium, potassium and selenium.
It also contains vitamin A, B vitamins, including vitamin B12

chocolate
Chocolate is a food whose ingestion produces feeling of well being in the body because it contains a number of components as euphoric and stimulant phenylethylamine . Besides cocoa is rich in alkaloids, such as caffeine and theobromine . These alkaloids excite the nervous system, making us more active and alert against external stimuli , increase heart rate and promote urination.
Note that the beneficial properties of pure cocoa chocolate comes from , and if this percentage is less than 80 % , the impact will be negative , since the poor quality chocolates contain saturated and trans fats and sugar, among other ingredients .

apples
Apples are a great nutritional package . An apple contains no fat, but plenty of pectin, a fiber that is unique in lowering cholesterol, and a good amount of vitamin C. But besides apples , like chocolate contain flavonoids, these substances are also found in red wine , chocolate , tea and vegetables , which protects the heart .

coffee
Coffee can boost mood , improve athletic performance, increase the ability to think , increase the analgesic effects of painkillers and reduce constriction , swollen blood vessels that cause headaches .
Coffee can cause insomnia and heartburn , but only if consumed in large quantities.
Caffeine was associated with pancreatic cancer and heart disease , but the truth is that there is no conclusive evidence that this is so .

tea
Like coffee, tea exerts stimulating effects in the body as that chocolate also contains muscle stimulant called theobromine.
But also reduces the risk of heart disease , cancer, and decreases blood pressure and cholesterol .
He has shown that it can prevent tooth decay.
Most active substances found in green and black tea because the leaves are produced in numerous natural antioxidants.
If you do not like your tea you can find some of these also relevant substances in the cilantro , sage and thyme and tea are nice.

Oatmeal
Oat flakes are very heart healthy because natural gums found in the oat grain . Is also one of the few complex carbohydrates as well as vegetables, which is low in starch , and , consequently, it has a very low glycemic index. This index is the one that determines the ability of a food to quickly raise blood sugar.
Most starchy carbohydrates such as rice , potatoes and white bread , elevate glucose excessively. Insulin, which responds to the rise of sugar, low levels of glucose at which transports combustion or tissues for storage as glycogen , but can also convert fat . Controlling insulin release is important to avoid increasing fat weight and health of the pancreas and metabolism.
Rolled oats are heart healthy and contain enough fiber to be considered useful in the prevention of certain cancers , including colon .

legumes
Legumes can cause the formation of intestinal gas - aerofagia -but they are loaded with fiber and are able to reduce cholesterol while protecting diabetics from the sugar rush .
The effects on cholesterol come from their gums and pectin , fibers that trap and prevents fat from being absorbed by the body .
Legumes contain the same kind of gum found in oats .
Legumes are a source of vegetable protein and carbohydrates are rich in fiber and vitamins and minerals

Developing a diet plan


Food is important to feed the body and invest in good overall health . Maybe sleep over breakfast , work through lunch , you skip meals or snacks gorge yourself with not too healthy . Stress and fatigue associated with long hours of training and planning efforts sporting activities can cause food to become a source of stress , rather than being one of the pleasures of life. Given the current culture of the rush, eat well might seem more difficult than ever.

To develop a good diet plan must take into account :
    Eat three different food at every meal . The more variety of foods eat more vitamins , minerals and other nutrients will be consuming . Try to pick thirty-five different types of food each week , instead of the same ten or fifteen foods that can get currently consuming . You can do this not only eating bran flakes with banana, but different types of cereal , adding fruits- not just a turkey sandwich for lunch , but various types of bread and filling , not only lettuce in the salad , but lots of vegetables of different colors.
    Choose foods in their natural state . Unprocessed foods and what they are minimally processed have more nutritional value and less sodium , trans fats and other unhealthy ingredients . For example , oranges instead of orange juice, wheat bread instead of white bread, boiled potatoes instead of fries.
    Act with moderation. Instead of classifying a food as good or bad for your health , be moderate and try to follow a diet that provides between 80% and 90 % of food quality and 20 % or 10 % less nutritional richness . Thus, fries , soda , pizza , take place in a healthy diet, one must balance them with healthier alternatives during the day .

Although a well balanced diet is ideal for good nutrition , a diet must avoid linear, ie , banana , banana , banana , rice , rice , rice . Eating repeatedly makes life simple, but it can lead to improper diet and chronic fatigue.
When we go to develop a diet plan , diet must make a circle , in which two thirds is occupied by fruits, vegetables and whole grains , and one-third protein and foods rich in calcium.

Dietary supplements


Dietary supplements are foods marketed as capsules, tablets, ampoules , capsules, teas , oral solutions ... whose purpose is to supplement the normal diet . They are concentrated sources of nutrients or other substances with a nutritional or physiological effect. They are designed to meet a specific need : digestion, sleep , weight loss, tone ...
These are not drugs so they do not heal . Their goal is to improve the well-being and maintain good health. Dietary supplements are not essential in sports nutrition . A varied diet can ensure complete intake of nutrients essential to good physical condition. The problem often comes from deficiencies in the quality of our food , which is often depleted or unbalanced diet. The frequency and intensity of training sessions and competitions can therefore increase the risk of disability.

Are there a risk to consume dietary supplements ?
It is recommended to take these supplements on a defined period following employment recommendations on the label length . The choice of supplements should also be based on demonstrated need . Consuming dietary supplements in excessive doses , without a healthy supply of basic or no real need is certainly not without health consequences . This is the problem of self -medication ...

Fruits Food bodybuilder muscle development


Many bodybuilders overlook fruit, one of the best food groups for muscle development

Many bodybuilders believe that fruits are fattening. This is however not the case if you know which to choose, when to eat and how much.
Most practitioners know they should consume simple sugars before and after their weight training sessions - and many of them use sugar in their protein mixtures as well as in other forms of supplements pre-and post -workout. Overall, these products contain glucose and dextrose are excellent sources of simple sugars for training. Often, bodybuilders avoid fructose because this form of simple sugar is more easily stored as fat than other carbohydrates. Then to abandon the fruits because of their fructose content, there is not one!
Yet what many bodybuilders do not know is that the fructose content varies markedly from one fruit to another. Many fruits are low and they are full of other important phytochemicals (beneficial for bodybuilding micronutrients) that can only be found in almost any other food source. The problem associated with the consumption of fructose is also sometimes overestimates. When you eliminate the fruits of power, it not only removes the fructose and other sugars they contain, but at the same time, beneficial nutrients that contribute to muscle development.
Here's what to know about fructose, which consume fruits, when and why to put on your plate.
FRUCTOSE: MYTH AND REALITY What is wrong fructose? If the fruits are bad news is that they contain this simple carbohydrate that our body does not degrade in the same way as other sugars of the same type.The fructose is not used directly by the muscles, as c This is the case of glucose and dextrose these two simple sugars are readily converted into muscle glycogen, the storage form of carbohydrates in the muscles. When they contain a lot of glycogen recovery and hypertrophy are facilitated and the performance has improved during the next meeting. Glycogen also gives the muscles that bodybuilders looking rebounded as appearance.
Against by, when there is input of fructose, the isomer of glucose must first pass through the liver to be converted to glycogen. The problem arises when liver glycogen stores are full: fructose is converted to fat and helps to increase the size of adipocytes. Since it is often difficult to know when the liver glycogen stores peaked, many bodybuilders are choosing to completely avoid fruit. In fact, such an extreme measure may be counterproductive because overshadow the fruit back to forego the valuable nutrients they contain.
The best time to eat fruit is in the morning upon awakening. At this time of day, the rate of liver glycogen is low because the body has used this fuel as an energy source during sleep. This also means that the body will supply energy to muscle protein degrading. When we eat fruit at sunrise, it gives the body an alternative fuel source which helps to stop muscle catabolism.
Other conducive to fruit slot: 30 to 60 minutes before the workout, especially if you do not eat carbohydrate for several hours. Fructose will fill liver glycogen, thus ensuring a supply of glucose to working muscles and sparing muscle glycogen. Another advantage is that fructose does not block fat during exercise as does glucose. The following the end of the session slot also lends itself very well to the fruit: it is still preferable to be the richest fruits in glucose fructose. Glucose is more easily set aside in the form of glycogen and it will raise insulin levels, thereby ensuring better muscle development more effectively. To find out what fruits to select these different times of the day, see the table "picking fruit."
"MORE" FRUITS Many bodybuilders pros already know the benefits of the fruit. "I preferred as the main source of simple sugars," said Mustafa Mohammad. "I eat two for breakfast, usually bananas, but sometimes orange or kiwi." They are still consumed by Mohammad fruits as sources of simple sugars before and after his weight training sessions. "I eat before and after my workouts because I am of the opinion that it is necessary to consume mainly foods to meet nutritional needs. If I use supplements like protein shakes, is for convenience or when it is more difficult for me to swallow solid food. "
Muhammad noted that consumption of fruit has other benefits. "They whet my appetite so I eat more," he says. "When I diet, it is not always easy to swallow whole chicken and rice all I need to maintain my muscle mass while trying to lose fat. I find that I can eat more chicken if I also take a fruit with the meal. It is this sweetness that helps me to improve my diet. "
Mohammad also uses fruits for more tone. "When I feel tired or lethargic, I eat one or two fruits with a protein food. As there are fibers, I do not care excessive elevation of insulin: fruits are digested slowly enough that this effect does not occur. The fibers also slow down the rate of digestion of proteins, which provides a continuous release of amino acids. "Mohammad said that when lack of energy, the liver glycogen stores may be low, in which case it should not fear that fructose is stored as fat.
IN SUMMARY As some actors, fruits are not entitled to the respect they deserve. Too many bodybuilders exclude them from their diet because they are wary wrongly fructose they contain. While we do not suggest to binge, which would only overload and liver glycogen stores may increase fat mass. On the other hand, do not eat fruit would be a mistake: their nutrients, fiber and simple sugars, good for building muscle will help you progress in your bodybuilding provided that consumption is consistent with the recommendations of FLEX.
