Meal Planning
I meet a lot of people who have a problem on there diet, they spent too much and eat much. One of the advice i gave is to have a meal planing. Meal planing is to provide balanced nutrition with consideration of the family and food budget. At first it find a time-consuming or boring. But the benefits are plenty and better health through good nutrition. Know your capacity and balance your expenses with inexpensive foods or dishes in a meal. Don’t plan a meal where all dishes are expensive. Consider foods in a season and don’t plan to baked potatoes when you’ve got no oven. Having a meal planing will help save a lot of money, time, food waste and away from obesity. There should be at least 5 hours interval between meal for digestion efficiency. A regular meal will digested in a 4 to 5 hours depending on its composition. Having at least a 5 hours in between meals it’s automatically discharges snacking. It is highly recommended that we should take our days last meal at least 3 hours before bedtime. Breakfast should be the heaviest meal and the supper the lightest. This because most of our activity are concentrated early in the day and we need more energy in the morning. This ensure we can be more restful sleep and better weight control. Also fruits are scheduled during breakfast and supper and vegetables, during lunch time. Thus the fruit we ate and vegetables will met by the end of the day.
If we could stay longer
If we could lived in 100 years old, i could say that our quality in life is good. Over the years, many companies has been developing product that promotes good health and that’s include infants, children, and adults.
Now day’s there are many range of formulas offer a complete nourishment for the benefits of ourselves and also for individual people with ailments. Today our average of life expectancy is from 40 to 70 years old. We must look some certain choices that we can make our life more healthful and stay look younger. A healthy diet and a program of regular exercise will do. There are many healthy diet we can apply in our lifestyle, but it’s needs perseverance, and slow down in everything. Cutting back on fats is one of things we can do and as well we also cut down our calories intake. Regular exercise can help lower of risk of developing hearth attacks, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. Before starting any exercise regiment program consult first your doctor. We can not change ourselves to stay young and healthy forever, but if we slowdown everything we intake it is the right choice to stay and live a longer life.

Sometimes the problem in our society is that we are not concerned about health. We blame it to the foods we eat but the real story is we ourselves are creating the problem. We take so much food that have high in calories or carbohydrates. Great body and have great skin these are the things we want not being an obese.

Recommended Calcium Intake
All of us need calcium to make the structural framework of our body-the bones and teeth-stronger and more durable to the rigors of everyday life. Pregnant and breastfeeding women often require more as they also need to supply their babies with the necessary amount of calcium needed for growth and development. Women who are in this stage usually need about 1200 mg of calcium, or an equivalent of 4 cups of milk daily. There are people who don’t like the taste of milk. Some of them even experience lactose intolerance. In cases like these, what are they to do? There are lots of sources of calcium aside from milk. An excellent example of food that will help you load up on calcium is sardines or other fish with soft, edible bones. Green leafy vegetables and tofu also provide a considerable amount of calcium. It takes 2 cups of cooked broccoli or 5 cups of raw spinach to provide the same amount of calcium as a cup of milk. If you just don’t like milk and are not lactose intolerant, you can consume other dairy products like cheese, yogurt and ice cream. Calcium-enriched foods like breakfast cereals can help you reach your recommended calcium intake. If these don’t work, your doctor may prescribe a calcium supplement for you.
Loss of interest on Food
I been observing my friend this few months, she lose weight. I asked her and share with me about the things she do. She skipping meal and dieting without proper consultation from dieticians. Diet is good, but without proper regiment it can lead complication. Lately, she complaining sleepless at night and worst of all lack of interest on food. I worried about her condition, some of her co-worker suspected that she’s on stage of anorexia nervosa. On my personal research this Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder marked by a fear of getting fat. This disorder attributed to affects of severe weight lost and mostly women are affected to it. This disorder is hard to treat and sometimes it leads to death if not recovered immediately or complications such as cardiac arrest.
These are some symptoms that a person has Anorexia Nervosa.
- Extreme weight loss
- Aversion on food (no appetite and food intake).
- Constipation, at times.
- Loss of normal body hair and nail problems.
- Irritability and irrational behavior, especially regarding food.
- Preoccupation with weighing. Anorexics tend to check their weight several times.
- Bulimia (gorging on food, then inducing vomiting or purging).
Complications.
- Severe illness because the body lack of nourishment.
- Organ damage or failure.
- Anemia or lack of vitamin and minerals.
If you think you are in this symptoms its better to consult immediately a doctor before it may get worse, or refer some dieticians. A therapy or psychologist it will help and to prevent this eat a balance diet. If you must tom loss weight, start a scientific weight-reduction program but only after consulting dieticians.
