Eat Better food for diet

Though making time for food and preparing meals may sound like a big and dull chore, it can be one of the most important keys to the success of everyone’s health goals. If cooking at home seems overwhelming, don’t worry. The more frequently you’re able to use the following tricks, the less overall time meal planning will take down the road. Before you know it, healthy lifestyle choices will become your daily habits. For everyone racing through life at enormous speed, these tips can help you to make the most of your time in the kitchen.

  1.    Keep it simple

Instead of following some complex diet with lots of rules, try to keep your healthy eating routine simple. Eat real food that’s mostly plants with lots of color and variety. Try to balance every meal with high-quality proteins like lean meat, fish, tofu or beans and carbs like brown rice, potatoes, quinoa, and healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds and olive oil. Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables to meet your daily fiber needs while keeping calories in check.
  1.    Don’t bring junk food into the house

If you’re easily swayed to nosh on chips, cookies and ice cream, keep the processed snacks out of the house. This simple trick makes healthy eating a lot easy. It’s true, out of sight, out of mind.
  1.    Eat more fat

People who snack on healthy fats like a handful of almonds eat fewer calories during the day because they feel more satisfied. So don’t skimp on fat; it keeps you fuller for longer so you will, in turn, eat less. Instead, try high-fat foods that are good for you.
  1. Make lunch the night before

It’s high time to stop telling yourself you’ll have time to pack a lunch on your way out the door in the morning. While you’re cleaning up from dinner, put together your lunch for the next day.Whether it’s leftovers from dinner or a simple salad, planning ahead makes it easy to walk out the door with a healthy lunch.
  1. Use Pinterest with a purpose

Make a board of “Must-Make Meals” filled with weeknight go-tos so that when you’re planning and prepping your meals you know where to turn to. Take it a step further and organize recipes by category like “chicken,” “fish,” “vegetarian,” to get more variety in your diet.
  1. Carry a water bottle

Hydration is a vital part of being healthy so make it a priority to carry a water bottle around with you and refill it throughout the day. The Institute of Medicine recommends men that drink 120 ounces and women 90 ounces of fluid per day. If you’re active, you will need to replace what you lost through sweat as well.

  1. Plan for leftovers

If you are preparing a large meal, double the batch. Prepare one to serve and the other to put in the freezer or fridge. This way you have double the food but half the mess! You can also prepare extra chicken or steak to cut up and add to a salad to make for a filling lunch the next day.


Clear the junk food out of your cabinets.  Take the candy jar off your desk.  Remove the temptation, and do your best to pick one habit or two to remove from your diet.  Start making changes. The more drastic the change, the higher the possibility for drastic results, but the higher likelihood that you’ll fail as soon as you hit a bump in the road…so balance these changes with your personality.  You might stumble a few times before you find your stride or you find a method that works for you.

Genetic Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (GSID)

Image
Sucrose or table sugar is a disaccharide that is made up of two simple sugars linked together by glycosidic bonds. The two simple sugars are glucose and fructose. Maltose is also another disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules. Human beings cannot absorb sucrose or maltose directly from the small intestines to the blood stream. Therefore, two enzyme known as Sucrase and Isomaltase are needed to cleave sucrose and maltose into glucose and fructose which are simple sugars (monosaccharide) that can be absorbed from the digestive track to the blood stream. If there is absence or low levels of sucrose and isomaltase, then a person is unable to break down sucrose or starch. What is GSID? Genetic Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (GSID) is a rare genetic disorder that affects one’s ability to digest sucroseor maltose due to low levels or absence of two digestive enzymes, Isomaltase and Sucrase. Sucrase and Isomaltase are two enzymes that are associated with digestion of starch and ...
