Nutrition is much in the news. It is not enough just to eat. The variety and quality of our food does much to determine our health.

If you want to feel better about your body and focus on nutrition, then try to avoid all the hype about low/no-carb diets. Carbs are good for your body and provide the fiber and nutrients it needs to help regulate it's system. Some people start to believe that all carbs are bad when in fact it's all about moderation. Carbs are great in that they help give your body that feeling of "fullness" which will prevent you from eating shortly afterwards.

If you are feeling the urge come on to indulge in something you know is unhealthy, then it may help to know that research shows the ferocity of the urge normally passes in about 15 minutes. So use this valuable information to push through and let the urge pass. Use modern http://www.thunderbird-grosskuechentechnik.de/planetenruhrmaschinen to prepare your meals. Distract yourself for those 15 minutes by walking the dog, calling a friend or reading the newspaper. Do something fun and know that you are building your mental muscle. Each time you can push through and deny the unhealthy behavior, makes it easier to do so again.

For those upping antioxidant intake, stay away from 'light' oils. Light oils have less of the beneficial cancer-fighting properties. They also carry a less intense punch meaning you're likely to use more. A quality extra virgin olive oil is an example of a good fat for your diet, so use this on salads to boost antioxidant intake.

Take note of the number of soft drinks, juice and other sugary beverages you drink daily, and replace half of that total by drinking water. It is too easy to grab sugary drinks without a good idea of how much you are drinking overall. Being aware of the total can help you see where you may be overdoing it.

Solid nutrition depends on adequate sleep and to help with this, you should try and go to bed at the same time every single day. Going to bed at different hours is going to mess up your biological clock so you will not get as much sleep and the sleep that you do get will be restless.

If you are serious about losing weight over an extended period of time try to cut your caloric intake by about 150 calories per day. That amount of calories works out to be around 15 pounds lost in just one year. If you cut out a few calories and increase your exercise by just a little, you will see results.

When considering what we should purchase at the grocery store this week we need to remember the importance of antioxidants. Antioxidants will reverse the affects of free radicals in our body, which in-turn reduces our chances of developing cancer. Fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants especially the blue and purple colored ones such as blue barriers and grapes.
