I have found when corresponding with many gym goers and fitness enthusiasts, that there is a massive disconnect in what they say and practice depending on the day of the week 

 

These are people who train hard, eat right and do all things they’re supposed to do to the point that they’re on auto pilot, soaring towards their goal.  Then, something strange happens.  One day, usually on the weekend, all of these habits seem to walk to the back of the plane, kick open the emergency exit door, and jump out without a second thought.

 

The specific day I’m talking about is better known as their “cheat day.” 

 

Why do people do this?  

 

Because many magazine, writers, and even experts, tell us that it’s ok to have a complete snack attack one day of the week.  There is no mention of whether or not it will cause a lasting effect on the progress that you worked so hard for

 

The idea of eating a whole days worth of junk food is very attractive to many people.  Many complain about having to eat 5 or 6 healthy meals a day, but on cheat day you’d be hard-pressed to catch them without food in their mouth.

 

The reality is that cheat days, also known as stuffing your face with garbage one day of the week, is a great way to get fat.  The following will make what I’m saying very clear. 

 

Many junk foods contain a ridiculous amount of calories.  One Burger King Double Whopper with cheese has 1020cal, and Boston Pizza’s Spicy Italian Penne has 1350 calories!  For every 21 Doritos chips you’ll be receiving about 250 calories.  If you think you can get away with “healthy choices” think again, The Thai Chicken salad at Boston Pizza will only set you back an even 1000 calories. 

 

Let’s take a look at the “Activity cost” of these extra calories.

 

A 200 pound person has to run at 5.2 miles per hour for 2 straight hours to burn up 1473 calories!  Cycling at 5.5 mph would take him 4 hours to burn up 1396 calories.  Get ready for this, that same person would need 5 hours of walking at 2mph to burn those calories up.  5 hours!!  That’s like one weeks worth of walking on the treadmill for eating one of meals mentioned above!

 

If, depending on your weight, it requires 5 hours of walking to burn off an excess 1400 calories, and one of the meals above easily provides over 1000 calories, what do you think would happen if you had an entire day’s worth of eating junk food?  What would happen is you’d need to spend the next few weeks burning up the calories from your food fest just to get back to where you were before the Food Fest. 

 

If you have a cheat day every week, and some do this over the weekend, as in two days of unbridled mastication, you would never be able to burn up the excess calories.  You would start each week so far behind the ball that there wouldn’t be a snowball’s chance in hell of catching up. 

 

People in this situation eventually give up and stop training.  They say “that training stuff doesn’t work.  I did everything I was supposed to, I even tried working out everyday, and I still put on weight!”   They may even believe that it’s their genes,”it runs in the family,” or ”I’m supposed to be weak or fat. ”

 

Looking at the amount of time you need to spend exercising and you can easily see how a day filled with meals like this will totally nullify the progress you made the week before.  Knowing all of this makes it hard to believe that some so called experts recommend “taking the weekend off.”  Good advice if you’re looking to make your belt useless and would prefer suspenders.

 

Don’t let this scare you.  You can still eat the foods you love, and even eat some foods that are high in calories once in a while. 

 

The whole idea of eating some “junk food” to keep your cravings in check is another good idea gone bad.  The whole point is if junk foods were a regular part of your diet in the past, simply cutting them out wholesale can cause some to have uncontrollable cravings.  If these cravings aren’t attended to, they’ll eventually cause the person to go into a blind eating frenzy, only to come to days later with an ice cream bucket over their head and mounds of empty food packaging everywhere – or something similar.  All joking aside, there is some merit to this.  However, the point is to keep cravings under control while you gradually minimize junk from your diet

 

The good thing is if you’re trying to trim up and burn fat off your body, an occasional day that has you eating a little more calories than usual will trick your metabolism into burning faster.  It helps minimize the chance of your metabolism adapting to your lower caloric intake, which means continued fat loss.  However, let me say it again, over do it and you start to plump up.  I believe if you’re going to eat calorie dense foods like this, you should keep it to a, as in one to a max of two, cheat meals a week.

 

The idea is not to over indulge in all the crap food that is offered today, and instead to start getting used to living healthy and adopting a full time nutritional plan into your diet.

 

Just because it’s called a cheat meal, it doesn’t mean you automatically stop using your head.  You can minimize the “caloric impact” by splitting the meal up into a quarter serving of your favorite “healthy food,” and the rest of your dish made up of your favorite “cheat meal.” 

 

This also works for switching the “staples” in your diet.  You can go from a fattier and unhealthier type of hamburger, like medium ground beef, and slowly mix it with extra lean ground beef  until you’re eating only extra lean.

 

You can mix your salad dressing with healthier olive oil bit by bit until you’re only using olive oil.

 

You can also start adding vegetables to your eggs, essentially making an omelet, by adding a few pieces of whatever veggies you want, until you get the desired serving amount.  As time goes by you can slowly increase the ratio of healthy to junky, and before you know it you’ll be eating less and less junk.

 

Don’t limit yourself by thinking you need to keep eating junk foods to stay sane, it’s a load of bull.  Your taste buds will eventually adapt to the new foods and dishes you eat, and the truth is you’ll eventually start to crave the healthier foods, especially when you feel the difference they make, inside and outside the gym.

 

Also, if you currently don’t eat much junk food that’s great. You don’t have to eat junk food if you’ve never ate it or cared for it to stay on track nutrition wise.  As a matter of fact, the longer you eat a certain type of food the more and more your taste buds will become used to it, regardless of whether or not it’s junk food or health food.

 

 

 Eating Time!

 

Remember it’s “Cheat Meal”, not “Cheat Day”- Limit indulgences to once or twice per week max.

 

Slowly reduce, and preferably eliminate, processed foods

If your current diet is loaded with unhealthy foods, don’t try to eliminate them all at one time.  Gradually phase out the junk foods with healthier choices by using the mixing method mentioned above.

 

Junk foods aren’t limited to unhealthy processed foods, fried foods, candy etc. 

One of the keys to a healthy nutrition plan is balance.  Over consumption of any of the three macro nutrients results in an unbalanced meal.  Olive oil is great for you when used appropriately; using a cupful at a time, not so healthy.  Same thing goes for most “healthy” foods.  Keep to a healthy amount and eat balanced meals.

The subject of sports nutrition has become unquestionably important nowadays now that the whole concept of sports has become evolved and has been receiving immense media attention. Athletes and spectators alike are now comprehending the weight of the status that professional sportsmen now carries.

This realization has pushed lots of initiatives to produce the latest and most effective in sports nutrition and training, not excluding those for extreme sports. During the old days, athletes have relied steadily on the carefree formula of fastfood fare and energy drinks.

Now that competition is growing more and more intense each day, athletes are now acquiring the expertise of sports science experts to make sure that they can maximize their physical and mental potentials to its outmost limits.

To have a better understanding of the efficacy and significance of extreme sports nutrition, one can look at the training regimen in motorcycle sports, one of the most popular extreme sports around.

A motorcycle rider takes in a lot of punishment in his body. Because of this, a rider must consider his overall physical fitness as much as his technical skills in competitions. He needs to establish hydration and stamina in his physique in order to keep up with the rigors of the motorcycle events.

It is not really easy to survive, let alone win, in a 20-30 minute contest under the most brutal of conditions such as extreme heat. It Is one of the most difficult factors that should be overcome in any kind of sport.

If one would monitor the vital signs the athletes during these contests, one could easily see that their heart-rates are performing at the most maximum level.

Sports nutrition is a major concern for motorcycling, since this sport involves competing in adverse surroundings under very extreme temperatures. Thermoregulation and hydration naturally are vital concerns.

Riders are faced with almost no time to hydrate themselves because an typical motocycle event lasts about only 20-45 minutes. It is very important then that motorcycle riders monitor their consumption of fluids closely days before the competition, paying close attention to those days when practices are held up to the qualifying rounds during the weekend before the main event.

Days before the competition itself, riders must take fluid, especially water, consistently in order to achieve and maintain a steady hydration level prior to the main event.

Aside from water, sports drinks must come in handy and must be ready in stock all thoroughout the race weekend. Sports drinks with electrolytes like sodium and with carbohydrates are particularly recommended. Carbohydrates will aid greatly in putting off the occurence of a rider’s fatigue.

The amount of sodium present in the drinks is a very important element for the regimen. Sports drinks will high amounts of sodium can give back the sodium that will be lost with the rider’s sweat during the competition. Also, the sodium will enhance the thirst of the body in order to make the cyclist drink more water during the course of the competition.

Motorcycle riders involved in heavy competition to strive to consume 20-40 ounces of liquid every hour during his time at the racetrack and must continue drinking about 20 ounces per hour after the track session. To effectively monitor hydration levels of a rider, he can weigh himself on the scales every morning and do so again after every session.

Two percent of the total body weight, and not more than that, should be eliminated, and it muse be replaced with 150 percent of the water reduced on that day in order to achieve maximum performance for tommorow’s session.

The human body is composed of up to sixty percent with water. A slight decrease in fluids can already have an effect on an athlete’s performance, specifically on the force capability of the muscles.

When the stamina and hydration levels is very well taken-care off, one can pruduce a powerful motocross champion who can manipulate and maneuver his bike at very high levels at the most stessful of situations.

So its extremely important that people, especially athletes, should not overlook the importance of drinking water and other fluids. This is very vital when it comes to competitions. It can be the factor that can make or break a rider’s road to victory.

Athletes are busy people. They try to balance training with work, school, family and other activities. With all these responsibilities, athletes consume a lot of energy each day. Food preparation can become a challenge but it is a challenge that athletes need to face since good sports nutrition help to adequately fuel work-outs and improve performance and recovery.

Eating well should be a part of an athlete’s overall training plan. But buying well is a requirement for eating well.

Nutritious meals begin at the grocery store. If you purchase the right ingredients, it’s a cinch to whip up a nutritious and flavorful meal. Stocking up with healthy staples is critical to good sports nutrition and will give you many options when you get home from a workout. Here are some foods busy athletes must be armed with.

Freeze Health

- Frozen foods are time-savers. Many prepackaged frozen items let you use the exact amount you need thus cutting cleaning up time. Leftovers are also instant meals on a busy night.

- Freezing is an important method of preserving most nutrients. Frozen vegetables are a lot of help because they require no washing, chopping, or peeling. Serve vegetables as a side dish, or incorporate into soups, sauces, or pasta dishes.

- Frozen fruit has longer shelf-life and are easily available if supply of fresh ones is low. Frozen blueberries, mixed berries, and mangoes can be blended into a smoothie with fruit juice and milk or yogurt or used as cereal topping.

- Chicken breasts or fish fillets that are frozen in individual packing are a good protein source for your meals. Frozen meatballs provide variation and can be easily mixed with pasta.

Pantry Staples

Canned products don’t compromise nutrition. Upon being harvested fruits and vegetables are processed to keep nutrients locked in.

- Beans that are canned are nutrient dense, and will load you with the important fuel for maximum growth and sports performance.

- Canned tuna and salmon are rich in protein and omega-3 fats, which have been shown to help conditions of cancer, heart disease, arthritis and mental health. Pasta dishes, salads and sandwiches can be given another character by including these in the recipe.

Peanut Butter is a good source of calories, and for busy athletes, an easy fill. Use this as sandwich spread and top with a banana or enjoy with carrot strips. Peanut butter is packed with healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats and vitamin E.

Popular among athletes is the use of tomato sauce. Processed tomatoes are concentrated with protective compounds. One half-cup of tomato sauce, for instance, contains six times more of the antioxidant lycopene than a medium fresh tomato.

Tomato sauce is usually cooked with pasta which is a staple of many athletes’ sports nutrition diet. If available, use the whole grain variety because refined pasta has been stripped off of its vitamins, fiber and other nutrients. Frozen bell peppers and tuna can boost protein content of meals with tomato sauce.

A wide variety of whole grains must be explored, examples of which are brown rice and red rice. Whole grains take a little longer to cook so cook in medium batches just enough to have leftovers for the next day.

In the Fridge

Fridge wonders include prewashed and ready-to-eat salad greens and carrots, cheese, eggs, milk, and yogurt.

Soup: A range of quick-fix ingredients

Soups combine the textures and flavors of the different ingredients mentioned previously. Soups are not only satisfying but can contain the wide range of nutrients available in its ingredients. Soups are easy to concoct and make great leftovers.

Nutritious soups do not need endless chopping or toiling over a hot oven. Canned or frozen vegetables can make up your soup and they can be fixed on a microwave or stove top.To make minestrone in minutes, combine canned crushed tomatoes with chicken or vegetables broth, canned beans, and frozen vegetables. Let simmer and enjoy.

To make gazpacho, in a blender or food processor, mix vegetable juice, canned tomatoes, minced garlic, red onion, cucumber chunks, bell pepper chunks, splash of red wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Vitamin C and other important nutrients load this combination. Gazpacho can even help decrease inflammation and oxidative stress.

Exercising and proper nutrition go hand in hand for good health. If you do all kinds of workouts, 7 days a week, but feeding your million dollars body with junks, don’t expect it to give you a good return on your exercise investment.

When exercising, there are three major nutrients that your body needs: Carbohydrates to power your workout, fat for recovery, and protein to build muscles. All three need to be in proper ratio to maximize your fitness. When it comes to increasing your nutritional intake for optimal performance, start with the basics: macronutrients like carbohydrates, protein and fats, plus micronutrients related to optimal use of those macronutrients, such as the B vitamins and chromium. The more strenuous you exercise, the more you need additional antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium. This group of nutrients will help speed recovery from exercise.

As you stress your body with harder exercise, you may want to add nutrients that support the immune system and promote muscle repair and growth. These include vitamins C and E, protein, and carbohydrates, as well as fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6.

Carbohydrates are the power food for working out. Your muscles would rather use carbs than anything else because it burns carbs the quickest and most efficiently, and give you the energy you need with the least metabolic effort. When is the best time to eat carbohydrates? There are two special times: 30 to 60 minutes before any strenuous workout lasting 45 minutes or longer and in the 30 to 60 minutes after any strenuous workout. Carbohydrates are also good for keeping the immune system strong, so don’t overlook this important time for refueling.

Protein is essential for muscle growth and maintenance. The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance)suggests that your daily caloric intake should be about 10-15% protein. This amount is good enough to support your day to day activities and prevent disease, but it’s not enough to support muscle growth. To increase muscle mass with exercising, it is recommended that you get 20-35% of your daily calories from lean, high-quality protein sources. (Check with your doctor if you have kidney problem). The best source of proteins are complete proteins, containing all essential amino acids, and incomplete proteins. Supplemental protein products, particularly protein drinks, bars, and protein powders that combine hydrolyzed whey protein and isolated soy protein can be very beneficial in meeting your complete protein needs. You may find adding a scoop of protein powder to soups or smoothies a good whey to boost protein, especially between meals.

Not all fats are bad fat. Good fats are the mono-unsaturated fats and the omega3s and omega-6s (both polyunsaturated). Mono-unsaturated fats are less oxidative to healthy cells, inhibit the inflammatory response, allow blood vessels to dilate, and may even help suppress or control appetite. Olive oil, almond oil, high-oleic safflower oil, avocados, and certain nuts and seeds are good sources of mono-unsaturated fat. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish appear to reduce inflammation and support heart, brain, and neurological functions. They are especially important as your body recovers from strenuous exercise. As damaged cell walls are repaired, they use the available fatty acids in the process, replacing saturated fats, and cells work better with omega-3 in the cell-wall structure. Omega-6s are important for they help with stimulating necessary inflammation responses and with blood clotting and they are found in safflower, sunflower, soybean, corn, and wheat germ oils.

The “bad fats” that you should avoid at all time are saturated and hydrogenated fats. They increase the bad cholesterol, stimulate the inflammation process, increase stickiness and blood clotting, and increase oxidative damage to cells. Saturated fats are found in meats (especially red and dark meats), cheese, butter, cream, whole milk, and chocolate. Hydrogenated fats are found in processed foods like cakes, cookies, and crackers.

Regular exercise alone is not enough. Eating right and the proper supplementation are equally important for a healthy lifestyle. Eating the right foods at the right time can have positive effects on body composition and overall health, which means more muscle and less body fat,stronger immune system.

How is your nutrition affected when your loved one has cancer? Firstly, you may find that your routine is changed. Extra demands on your time may affect your ability to eat regular nutritious meals. Coupled to that, it may be that you sometimes simply don’t feel like eating. This is related to the stress that you feel from the situation.

When your body is under stress it may require more nutrients as certain key vitamins and minerals are used up more rapidly. In addition the body becomes less able to absorb nutrients as increased adrenaline in the body (the fight-or-flight response) is designed to divert blood away from the digestive system in readiness for action. Thus nutrients can become depleted when you are under stress for any length of time. Results from this lowered nutrition can include:

Lowered immune system resulting in a tendency to ‘go down with’ minor ailments, poor skin etc.

Less energy and poor focus / concentration

Feeling down / depressed and less able to cope.

For this reason your ability to offer strength and support to those around you can be lessened at a time when this may be very important to you. It may even cause difficulty keeping up with your work and consequently your ability to earn may become threatened.

In addition to all of the above, there is the issue of your general well being. You deserve to feel well. This is not any less true because someone you care about is unwell. You will not help anyone by becoming ill yourself.

So what can you do to ensure that your levels of nutrition are sufficient at this time of your life? The advice is the same as it is for everyone who is in a time of challenge. First is to ensure that as far as possible you stick to a balanced diet and wherever possible eat wholesome, natural food that is processed as little as possible. Include a plentiful amount of fresh fruit and vegetables, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein.

If it is difficult to keep up with cooking healthy meals for yourself at certain times, consider whether there is someone who would be prepared to help. A homemade casserole that someone has frozen for you to eat at your own convenience may be better for you than grabbing a take-away on the run.

If you do not already include them, this may be a good time to add some supportive supplements. We live in a chemical age and since the 1950’s thousands of chemicals have been introduced into our environment. These come in the form of industrial pollution, vast amounts of plastics which all produce residues into our environment and diet, pesticides, herbicides. Add to that a generally more indoor lifestyle with central heating, cars, computers and so on. This produces a chemical attack on our bodies in the form of free radicals which are can damage the body at a cellular level, causing anything from general tiredness and lethargy to cancerous changes in the cells.

The body is able to defend itself against such chemical attack, but it requires sufficient nutrients in the form of vitamins, minerals and flavenoids which act both as anti-oxidants the neutralise the free radicals and as critical components of the immune system. Getting sufficient vitamins and minerals to support the body can be difficult from a normal diet especially where time, money and appetite / ability to absorb nutrients may be an issue.

This is where supplements can play a key role in health. Certain foods naturally contain high levels of nutrients (so called “super-foods”); these are more readily absorbed than synthetic supplements and can be seen as a way of increasing the amounts of certain key nutrients in a healthy way to help support your system. I personally take an inner leaf Aloe Vera drink, which is like a vegetable juice but contains a high concentration of over 75 different nutrients, and a Bee Pollen supplement (pollen harvested from flowers by bees and then collected from the hives) which contains a high level of B vitamins, amino acids and minerals. I would highly recommend them as my general level of health has improved greatly since taking these products, and I feel full of energy. 

Maintaining your own health is very important at this time of stress.  Taking care of your level of nutrition can do much to help.

Pregnancy is a time when your body begins to undergo sudden and rapid changes. There was a time when mothers to be were advised to eat enough for two. Today, this advice is way off the mark because new research finds that in terms of quantity, pregnant mothers need take in an extra 300 calories only. So, pregnant mothers who habitually eat enough for two may find themselves developing undesirable health conditions. Therefore, it is important for pregnant mothers to understand what kind of food is best for them and their baby.

Even if you have been eating a healthy diet prior to your pregnancy, you have to pay extra attention to what you eat when you are pregnant. A healthy diet is vital to a successful pregnancy because it ensures correct fetal growth and reduces complications.

Given below are a few guidelines regarding nutrition for pregnant women:

Avoid empty calories. Choose whole grain foods and substitute high calorie foods with foods that have higher nutritive value.

Pregnant women need approximately 1,500 mg of calcium everyday. This supplies enough calcium to the fetus for bone growth and prevents the mother from losing her bone density. In this regard, it is important to remember that most women do not get enough calcium even when they are not pregnant. So, extra effort has to be made to get the right amounts of calcium throughout pregnancy. Calcium rich foods include tofu, salmon, green leafy vegetables and dairy products.

Another important aspect of nutrition for pregnant women is regarding the need to stock up on food rich in iron. These include fish, poultry, eggs, enriched grains and green leafy vegetables. However, since iron absorption from food takes place at a very slow pace, many doctors advise the intake of iron supplements. Iron supplements often lead to constipation, though it may help if you take your supplements with food. To improve iron absorption, include food that is rich in vitamin C.

Folic acid is important to proper fetal growth. Taking in 400 mg of folic acid everyday can prevent more than 70% of birth defects commonly found in newborn babies. Natural foods like dark green vegetables, oranges, grains, beans, lean meat and liver are rich in folic acid. You also get folic acid supplements, and doctors often recommend the intake of prenatal vitamins that contain folic acid.

Pregnant mothers must not follow a restrictive diet. Do not skip meals. Eat enough to gain weight at the recommended rate. Include a variety of foods since this ensures that you are getting all the minerals and vitamins that your body needs. Eat at regular intervals so that your blood sugar levels do not peak and dip.

Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Avoid alcohol and quit smoking.

These days, it is common for pregnant women to take in large doses of supplements. Although some amount of fortified foods is helpful, large doses can cause health problems. So always discuss with your healthcare provider before you start taking supplements of any sort.

Pregnant women should avoid undercooked food, swordfish, mackerel and tilefish since these may contain high levels of Mercury.

By following these tenets of good nutrition, a pregnant mother can ensure the health and proper development of her baby. At the same time, she can also prevent unnecessary weight gain that may lead to health complications later on.

These days I am experimenting with new muscle growth products named Anadraulic state, bsn nitrix, bsn syntha 6, these are good to look like a model.

And I found it at the cheapest online store for muscle growth products www.usnutritionbazaar.com.

Increased muscle mass is achieved through various factors which stand out, an effective and routine exercise, balanced nutrition and well-designed, and the use of supplements in a proper manner.

Increased muscle mass is attributed to all these factors, and nutritional intake coincide with the consumption of food, since we can not attribute nutritional gains to a single nutrient.

Mainly, our diet consists of three key elements that are carbohydrates, proteins and fats. These make up the energy that our body uses to survive. It is therefore very important to include this in our daily diet.

It is said that proteins are the building blocks of muscles because they contain amino acids that make up the muscle tissues of our body.

Although carbohydrates, proteins and fats are all sources of energy, they are different in the amount of energy they provide and in how the body builds up as a result of ingesting these materials.

The unit of heat used is Kilocalories. Carbohydrates and proteins provide for 4 calories per gram and fat renders 9 calories obtained per gram of fat.

To obtain substantial increases in muscle mass, we need a planned diet that consists of a high caloric intake, which is the primary intake of protein.That is why it requires an exercise program to burn these calories, because otherwise, the only thing achieved is gaining weight, especially fat.

The normal diet consists of 60% carbohydrates, 25% protein and 15% fat. However, many people and specialists trying to achieve these patterns change plans, and vary especially in the percentage of fat they take in on a daily basis.

To calculate your daily calorie intake or nutritional requirements, you can get an approximate number by multiplying your weight by 40. That is, 40 calories per kilogram of weight. Depending on your physical activity and structure of your body, this amount may increase.

If you weigh 80kgs, your body requires approximately 3200 calories or so. If a normal diet for sedentary people require at least 25% protein, multiply 3200 x 25% and you get 800 calories of protein a day. If we said that the protein provides 4 calories per gram, divide 800 / 4 = 200 grams of protein daily.

Athletes and athletic people must consume higher amounts of protein to ensure an intake of amino acids, which are the raw material to generate muscle tissue. That is why it is recommended to take 4.5gramos of protein per kilogram of body weight. This means that a person of 80kgs, should consume 360 grams of protein daily to increase muscle mass.

The advantage of genetic supplements is that you can get it in drink form and thus you can get a high concentration of protein that can be swallowed easily.

Furthermore, the benefits of food supplements are:

High protein content Proteins of the highest quality and concentration Animal sources like milk, and vegetables can be obtained in consolidated form

Now we must plan the diet and food supplements properly to analyze where you can get this energy source.

The advantage of genetic supplements is that you can get it in drink form and thus you can get a high concentration of protein that can be swallowed easily.

Health, energy, and nutrition have become the primary focus in today’s society.  Everywhere you look there are ads for nutritious foods, energy drinks, buys for the health-conscious shopper.  But unfortunately, today’s fast paced world leaves very little time for you to devote to yourself, even enough time to exercise.  Day to day routines can be so hectic and exhausting; you’re too tired even to think about being active after a hard day of working.  Energy drinks are highly popular right now, and the temptation is to pop open a can of energy so you can do more, be even more on the go, get that much more done in a single day.  But…energy drinks aren’t really healthy or very good for your nutrition.  They are notoriously filled with sugar and caffeine, both things that you body doesn’t need.  So where does that leave you?

“Energy drinks are different from sports drinks. Most energy drinks simply provide lots of sugar or caffeine. Sports drinks are intended to replenish electrolytes, sugars, water and other nutrients and are usually isotonic (containing the same proportions as found in the human body).”-       Wikipedia, Energy Drink, May 2009

 

As more and more consumers are becoming health-conscious, the market is slowly beginning to change.  We do not have to consume sugary, high-caffeine energy drinks any longer.  Zsenso iced green tea and Zsenso iced peach green tea, made of rare Chinese green tea leaves, may be your healthy alternative to standard energy drinks.  After trying these delicious iced green teas, you may never go back to sugary energy drinks again.”Tea has played a significant role in Asian culture for centuries as a staple beverage, a curative and a symbol of status. It is not surprising its discovery is ascribed to religious or royal origins. Even the earliest texts discuss the health benefits of tea.” -Wikipedia, Green Tea, May 2009

 

Discovered in China, tea has swept the world and become a staple of many cultures around the globe.  China, the world’s leader of tea, still produces more varieties of tea than any other country. For five thousand years, claims have been made that green tea is beneficial to your health.  Recently, more and more studies are being done of green tea and scientists are discovering that these claims are not wholly false.

 

“An article in New Scientist magazine (20 March 2004) mentions that numerous studies suggest that green tea protects against a range of cancers, including lung, prostate and breast cancer.”- Wikipedia, Green Tea, May 2006
