How to eat healthily during the financial crisis

healthy foods

You can follow some guidelines and continue to buy healthy food, contrary to not do so because the crisis and therefore follow a diet of chips, cheese and pasta, or burgers and hot dogs.

Make your own coffee at home, buy seasonal fruit and vegetables, and occasionally meat replaced by alternative protein sources such as eggs and beans, and, although it seems an easy, cheap and very tempting, stays away from chains Fast-Food. The nice picture does not compensate for lack of nutrition.

“The times of financial crisis, such as we are experiencing at the moment, does not mean you have to feed on unhealthy ways,” says Aleitor Mendes, a renowned nutritionist São Paulo, Brazil. “By planning ahead, buying at fairs and markets and take advantage of private label products in hypermarkets can save money and at the same time providing rich and healthy food for the whole family.”

Fruit and Vegetables

“Buy fresh food is too expensive.” Incorrect. In fact, buying fruit and vegetables in season is pretty cheap. Take the opportunity to buy food in larger quantities; you can also save on the “quantity discount”

If you are not in season, you can buy canned fruit or vegetables at affordable prices. Leverage and trust white markings of healthilyhypermarkets, since the quality is assured as lower prices. These foods are canned but are very fresh, so that the nutritional quality remains virtually full.

One of the best ways to get fresh fruits and vegetables is to grow them yourself, in case you have a garden or small garden with enough space for it. In case you do not have space, you can always plant fresh herbs in a glass indoors.

Proteins

Get proteins can be tricky on a shoestring budget. Filet mignon, beef steak or fresh lobster are just a mirage for small pockets, but you can also find good pieces of meat at low prices.

First, it is preferable to buy pieces of meat “not ready”. You can spice up or stuff meat yourself, you need not be charged for that service. Save money, and you have more control it on the nutritional content and level of seasoning salt. Buy chicken bone whole cost far less, and can be easily removed to prepare a tasty chicken breasts. The less noble meat cow or pig is significantly cheaper, although often present stiffness or fats that can be quite unpleasant. When cooking

these meats, cooking time makes the meat is tender and attached to the processing time, you will get a tasty dish. And the meat isnot the only option. Opt to replace meat protein with alternatives two or three times per week. The beans, eggs or peanut butter are just examples of excellent sources of protein that help maintain good levels of nutrition in times of crisis.

Cereals

As in the case of the sources of protein, less processed product purchase is preferable. Prefer rice (integral) to mixtures often are just misleading marketing tricks that do not benefit their nutrition and health. It’s also a good idea to buy bread or pancakes when they are at more affordable prices and freeze to eat later. The nutritional value remains virtually unchanged for some time.

Beverages

An excellent solution to save more is to buy a water filter instead of buying bottled water. If you prefer juices, concentrates instead chooses chilled.

Drink your morning coffee at home. Add a few drops of milk or cream (skimmed) give the coffee a special touch, and it is much cheaper to go out every morning to eat breakfast away from home.

Snacks

The snacks (potato chips, corn crusts packaged, etc ;) are usually products of poor nutrition and unhealthy. Avoid these products,

healty

but if you can live without them, opt for family packages and do it yourself individual packages. Save about 50%.

General Tips 

- Buy private label products hypermarket.

- Buy products and family size in large containers to save money and then later at home individual packages.

- Buy discount or promotion products and freeze to eat later.

- Do not fall for the tricks of the hypermarkets. Besides paying boxes are placed several “islands” of products such as chewing gum, jellies, sweets, cakes, biscuits, among others, that entice people to buy while waiting in the checkout line. Section Focus on fresh vegetables and fruits.

- Use coupons. But only for those products that normally consumed, and not for products high in fat or sugar.

- Cook at home and avoid going out to dinner.

- But if you decide to dine out Shengli, not avergüenze in the event that on a lot of food and ask the clerk to pack the remaining food to take home.

- Replace the meat with other protein sources reduced price two or three times a week

7 simple rules to lose weight feed

7 simple rules to lose weight feed

In the wish list of the world of fantasy, would not it be great if – instead of worrying about be eating all the time, your body will use the fat you have stored?. One of the main reasons for this happening has to do with our diets.

When you consume refined starch and sugar, these foods enter the bloodstream quickly, causing an increase of sugar. Your body Scale-200x300produces the hormone insulin to move sugar from the blood into the cells. But over time, excessive levels of insulin can cause your muscle cells lose sensitivity to the hormone, resulting in type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Fat cells are another matter, since they are always sensitive to insulin. Insulin peaks fat block in said cells, so can not be used to produce energy.

How to break this cycle and get your body to function optimally again? Fortunately, you do not have to do an extreme diet. The first step is to simply reduce spikes in blood sugar that produce these sharp increases of insulin.

In the diet, the substance that is most responsible for these peaks is starch, ie anything made from potatoes, rice, flour, corn, or other grains (such as pasta, lasagna, white bread, donuts, cookies and cakes). You can eliminate these foods completely. But would not it be great if there were a way to solve the problem without completely eliminating these carbs?

Turns out there is that option. You can lessen the effects of increased blood sugar taking advantage of natural substances in foods containing carbohydrates slow digestion and slow entry into the bloodstream. With the following rules your waistline and your health will win, but first make sure you know how to lose weight properly and follow them to supplement the way to eat well.

SUGAR BLOCKER # 1: EATING A SNACK FAT 10 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE MEALS

The reason: You’re under full longer.

At the end of your stomach is a muscular ring, the pyloric valve. This regulates the rate at which food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. This valve is all that stands between the carbohydrates in the stomach and increased blood glucose. But you can send your message pyloric valve speed reduction.

Fat triggers a reflection that causes the valve to contract and delay digestion. Just one teaspoon of fat – easily provided by a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese – will do the trick as long as you eat it before the meal.

SUGAR BLOCKER # 2: START YOUR MEAL WITH A SALAD

The reason: It absorbs the starch and sugar.

Soluble fiber cellulose from plants such as beans, carrots, apples and oranges, it swells like a sponge in your intestines and claims the starch and sugar in the spaces between the molecules. Soluble means that can dissolve – and, indeed, soluble fiber dissolves gradually releasing glucose. However, that takes time.

Glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream and filtered slowly, so your body needs less insulin to handle the situation. A good way to make sure you get enough soluble fiber is to eat a salad, preferably before, not after, you eat a starch.

SUGAR BLOCKER # 3: PUT A LITTLE VINEGAR

The reason: It slows the breakdown of starch into sugar.

The high content of acetic acid in vinegar deactivates amylase, the enzyme that converts starch into sugar. (No matter what kind of vinegar you use). Because it acts only on the starch, has no effect on the absorption of refined sugar. In other words, it helps if you eat bread, but not sweet. But there is one advantage: the vinegar also increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

You should consume vinegar at the beginning of the meal. Put it in salad dressings or a couple of tablespoons in meat or vegetables. Vinegar enhances the flavor of foods, as for salt.

SUGAR BLOCKER # 4: INCLUDES FOOD PROTEIN IN YOUR

The reason: No more insulin.

Here is a paradox: if you want to mitigate the insulin spikes, to do that you need to start to secrete insulin as soon as possible. It’s the same as a fire department responds to a fire. The faster the alarm, but fire will be needed to extinguish the fire.

Although proteins do not contain glucose, these trigger a “first phase insulin response” that occurs very quickly, which maintains the increased blood sugar and as high as can reduce the total amount of insulin need to food processing. This will also produce the meatballs with spaghetti.

SUGAR BLOCKER # 5: EAT LIGHTLY COOKED VEGETABLES

The reason: They are digested more slowly.

Both fruits and vegetables contain soluble fiber. However, as a general rule, vegetables are best blocking sugar, because they have more fiber and less sugar.

But do not cook vegetables pureed. Boil the vegetables until soft and saturated dissolved soluble fiber, filling it with water and thus can not absorb sugar and starch you want. In addition, fresh vegetables are thicker when they reach your stomach, and larger food particles take longer to be digested, which makes you feel full longer.

Another tip: the roasted vegetables like cauliflower can often serve as substitutes for starch appetizing.carbs-vs-obesity

SUGAR BLOCKER # 6: MAKING A GLASS OF WINE WITH DINNER

The reason: The liver does not produce much glucose.

Alcohol has its own blocking properties of sugar. The liver normally converts part of the fat and protein in blood glucose, which in addition to glucose which consume carbohydrates. But alcohol consumed meals pauses glucose production in a liver. A portion of any type of alcohol – beer, red or white wine, or a shot of hard liquor – reduce the burden of blood sugar, as well as a portion of starch, by approximately 25%.

That does not mean you should take a lot of liquor (especially if you have diabetes, because drinking can cause hypoglycemia). Not only alcohol contains calories, but it also delays satiety, so if you get used to drinking excessively accumulates calories. Be especially conscious about avoiding cocktails made with sweet mixtures or any other source of sugar.

SUGAR BLOCKER # 7: EAT AS SWEET DESSERT ONLY REASON: ALL OF THE ABOVE.

If you eat sweets on an empty stomach, there is nothing to prevent the sugar directly into the bloodstream – fat free, soluble fiber, no protein, no vinegar. But if you leave sweets for the end of the meal, you’ll have all the protection that following these tips you can give. If you want to keep your blood sugar at a stable level, avoid sweets between meals at all costs – and when you want to enjoy some, do not eat more than what you fit in the palm of your hand.

But sweet snacks after dinner, have little effect on blood sugar and insulin – and can be very satisfying.

The great white shark.

shark

According to recent studies by a group of scientists, the great White shark can dive down to 3,937 ft. or 1,200 meters deep. This study was conducted on a4.8 m.Male shark the group called “Cabana”, this shark holds the record with a depth of 3,937 ft or 1,200 meters.

The NIWA tagged this shark to track and study all their movements, so they could try and understand its migration patterns. The previous record was 3,291 ft. The great white shark is protected in New Zealand waters since 2007, but there is little known about its habitat and interaction with other sharks. When this study started 5 years ago, it was thought that they only frequented cold waters, but now they have been recorded visiting moretropical places. Sharks have been recorded to migrate over 2,051 miles.

Great white sharks like “Cabana” have been tagged with electronic cards, for the last 5 years, these tags register location, depth and temperature, after a period of 6 to 9 months it is self-released. This tag floats to the ocean surface and begins transmitting the data via satellite. A total of 6 electronic tags have been recovered by the team since the study begun.
