What to Eat Fresh, Frozen or Canned?

I don't know if I buy fresh, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables. What is the best choice?

Good question! We always talk about cool being the best pick, but sometimes this does not always so. Depending on the types of fruits and vegetables of purchase (e.g. tomato vs canned tomatoes), some of the nutrition might be different. The good thing about fruits and vegetables, however, is they are packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre diet, essential in the promotion of good health and reduce the risk of some diseases.

The type of fruit and vegetables you buy can have an effect on their nutritional benefits. For example, canned apples in syrup of sugar may not be the best choice of fruit - perhaps collecting unsweetened applesauce might be an alternative. What to choose? At least, choose one of them (fresh, frozen or canned) - much better than anything at all. But if the world is generally the fresh oyster is the first choice.

Fresh

In terms of nutritional value, fresh fruits and vegetables tend to be the best option in comparison with frozen or canned. When a fruit or vegetable fresh and on top of his maturity, there is no beating! Many commercial farmers picking fruits and vegetables before reaching maturity of peak (nutritional peak) to prevent deterioration, but the longest sitting in the transport, storage, the platform of supermarket or your refrigerator, the less nutrients are when they finally eat them. The best tip I can give them is to buy fruits and vegetables are in season and eat them within two to three days of the purchase. With spring finally here, start check your supermarket of berries, melon, pineapple, asparagus, snap beans and Zucchini.

Frozen

Although fresh is usually the best choice, ice cream, fruits and vegetables are a convenient place. Fruit and vegetables intended for freezing are chosen closer to its peak maturity and then frozen Flash before being packaged. This technique may compromise some nutrients, but blocks the rest for an extended period of time. And when it comes to remains of food, it is possible that you can not eat the fresh products as quickly as expected (losing them) and frozen is a great alternative to have them available when you need them.

Canned

Canned fruits and vegetables are generally his third election; (from) (syrup of sugar, salt and preservatives are normally added to extend the life.) But in terms of stability of the platform, difficult to overcome. Search for items that are low in sodium (no salt added) and usually do not contain high levels of salt or sugar. Some canned items are actually higher in fresh nutrients; canned tomatoes have higher levels of lycopene (antioxidant) than fresh. Therefore not always so bad!

Go green, eat green, green




Green is no longer just a color. Green has as many meanings as it has shades, and March marks the advent of everything green. In March, I encourage you to go green, eat green and be green! March brings us St. Patrick’s Day, a joyous celebration from the Emerald Isle, and celebrating might include a pint or two of Guinness. But before you let the party take over, think about turning your entire month into a veritable green celebration. Start by looking around you and noticing everything green – from shamrocks to sheets – and dare to take a step in a greener direction.

Go Green
“Going green” can start with simple changes. In this day and age where the idea of going green is everywhere, it may be difficult to decide where to begin. Here are a few ways:

SLEEP GREEN: This might sound crazy, but a Consumer Product Safety Commission study estimates that the average adult sleeping on a conventional mattress – meaning one that is most likely made with petroleum-based ingredients and treated with fire retardants – will be exposed to 0.802 milligrams of antimony, a heavy metal closely related to arsenic, and 0.081 milligrams of boric acid, a roach killer. While these amounts are deemed safe for those over 5-years-old, this is definitely not my idea of sleeping green. Go green with an environmentally friendly organic mattress. Choose a mattress made with non-toxic materials like wool and latex from rubber trees, which are both naturally fire-resistant. Organic mattresses may not be the cheapest, but the conventional ones make Mother Nature pay the price. If a new organic one is not in the budget, you can still be green the next time you dispose of yours by finding local mattress recycling centers in your area.

BREATHE GREEN: Houseplants are a natural way to clean (and green) your air. Grow herbs, such as basil, dill, chives, or oregano, near your windowsill for delicious, almost no calorie additions to salads and other dishes.

SERVE GREEN:
Pack your own reusable utensils for on-the-go meals. There’s no need to cut with a dull plastic knife then toss it in the garbage anymore. Try a reusable set such as The To-Go Ware set, which contains a fork, knife, spoon, and chopsticks that are made from sustainably harvested bamboo. Take your green meal a step further by participating in Preserve’s recycling program, which transforms plastic containers, including yogurt cups and takeout containers, into eco-friendly toothbrushes, razors, and other products. National Whole Foods stores have collection bins for washed #5 plastics and used Brita filters. These initiatives support Preserve’s green goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Eat Green

Eating green doesn’t just mean literally eating green colors. It also means eating responsibly by choosing foods that are healthy for you and the planet. Always read labels and pay attention to where your food is grown, because the less it has to travel, the smaller the impact it has on planet earth. I suggest starting small and working your way up the green slope by buying local products as much as possible and, if money permits, buying organic products. Such pro-green actions will help the environment and improve your personal health.

Similarly, certain berries from South American rain forests that are touted as antioxidant powerhouses might eventually, in fact, negatively impact the native communities and their meager food sources if over picked. This is just another reason to change things up. Indulging in exotic berries has its place but also choose what’s in your back yard! Berries are packed with water and fiber, which will help you feel full and may contribute to weight loss. Buy local berries in season, which usually means late spring and summer for blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries that are grown in the U.S. Buying them fresh at farmer’s markets is best, so find out what’s in season in your area.

Now, how can you eat green literally? Great green foods include leafy greens, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, green beans, green onions, kale, avocado … and the list goes on and on. Most green vegetables contain beta-carotene, folate, and lutein that keep your eyes, heart and muscles healthy. Dark, leafy greens are loaded with vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants that help fight free radical damage in your cells. And greens are not just for salads. Stir kale, Swiss chard, or spinach into soups just before serving, add to stir fry dishes, or saute with garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes for a quick pasta sauce. All types of green vegetables have high water contents, which is why they are great “diet” foods. They fill you up with very few calories.

Also, you can use green foods to make topical cleansers such as the Go Green Face Scrub from my book, The O2 Diet. Just blend cup avocado, 1 teaspoon parsley and 2 tablespoons kosher salt in a food processor for 20 seconds. You’ll have a homemade, green scrub full of vitamin C and collagen-enhancing avocado oil for your skin with no wasteful product containers or packaging.

Be Green

As you embrace the month of March and its push to help you go green and eat green, you naturally take all the right steps to be green! Not every single green tip is right for everyone. By choosing to take March on in all its green glory, you are taking a step in a greener direction. Go ahead and sip some green tea as you celebrate this month by being a greener you.

Burn fat, feed the muscle

At present, however, experts have shifted their beliefs for more intensive exercises, such as heavy for the best results when trying to lose weight. Resistance workouts get body fat burning is fast and even faster. Exercises that involve the whole body, such as dead lifts, squats or lunges to make your entire substantive work.

Not only do you lose weight on these core workouts, you'll also build muscles on top. All exercises are accompanied by the diet on weight loss plan. If you are trying to build muscle, you would include much more protein in your diet than you normally would have. Proteins, such as egg whites in the morning and chicken in the rest of your day is healthy and low in fat. You can also take protein supplement cocktails that are loaded with useful protein for muscle when you recover from intense workout.

If the muscle is not part of your objective, you can stick a cardiovascular workout. Cardio and nutrition will more than working for a healthy weight. It is important to note that if you go the route you have cardio is not simply jog to the continuous pace but do interval type, running in different intensity levels for the most effective weight loss.

And finally as I emphasized in most of the articles on this blog, you must set realistic goals for yourself and find out where you want to be. Weight loss and health is not something that short period of time, you must keep some type of diet and exercise to maintain the weight that you lose, a. is discouraged in your normal weight loss as well.

Most of the weight, you have to lose a week-only 2 pounds. The body must be able to adapt to do you loose weight and it takes time for compensation. In addition many uneducated weight loss hopefuls eventually starving yourself because they end up cutting, more calories than they should. These "hunger" diets work initially, but when they return to their old habits, "dieters" quickly shoot back to their old weight and often, they exceed the weight, they were in before they started to diet. Reducing calories that much and make a habit of it can also lead to certain eating disorders such as anorexia.

The best way to lose 2 pounds per week, effectively and cool, in an attempt to reduce your calorie intake by 1000 calories per day.

Jogging and weight loss

He is widely known that exercise is necessary for a healthy weight. Implementation does not necessarily mean either lifting weights. There are many ways to get the cardiovascular system, you need to walk, run, running, swimming, or even your favorite sport. Today I plan to cover, running, because there are certain ways that jogging can help you, but if done incorrectly, can be damaging to your work.

Jogging, like most people, it is actually bad for losing fat. The reason is that when you jog, she begins to eat away at your muscles for energy, instead of your fat. This is a common problem for most long-distance runners. In addition when you break down muscle, as it actually can slow your metabolic rates, and you can really get the weight at the end.

The best way to do it at intervals. Example of normal work at high intensity for about 10-15 seconds, which will raise your heart rate. Then you slow down for a walk or slow jog around 20-30 seconds. I repeat that about 20 minutes and you'll be burning fat and maintain and are more likely to get muscles. If possible try to avoid running for long periods of time-not more than 20 minutes.

Remember, any activity you are doing is going to be useful to you in one way or another. Just go out and try to have fun with your work, or maybe even combine your favorite recreational sports leagues, if normal jogging, as it does not work for you.

What are your belly fat questions?
