Info
A balanced diet is good for energy. If you eat only carbohydrates in one meal without anything else, your energy levels will crash after about 30min.
Our bodies have their own natural fat-burning mechanisms.
One kilogram of muscle requires your body to burn up to 100 extra calories a day just to maintain it.
Many people become overweight not because of the fat in their diet, but excessive carbohydrates.
Too many carbohydrates trigger the release of insulin.
When there is too much insulin in your body it turns into a fat-storing machine.
Increase the amount of fruit and vegetables to at least 5 portions every day.
A healthy diet can help to build muscle, strengthen bones, lower blood pressure, improve the immune function, promote weight loss and so maintain optimum health.
Water helps control your appetite.
Over 65% of your body is composed of water.
While at work keep a bottle of water on your desk, or visit the office water cooler and take a water break rather than a coffee break.
Once you start exercising, drink water throughout your workout.
Do not underestimate the amount of fluids lost from perspiration.
Active exhalation during physical exercise helps the body to increase lung capacity and oxygen intake.
This results in greater cardiac efficiency, since the heart has less work to do to oxygenate the muscles.
The increased blood flow develops muscular power.
