Good Food To Eat

Good food to eat is on everybody's mind. This article on How To Eat Good, Nutritious Food recently submitted by Marina Dimova is useful and informative.
March is Nutrition Month in Canada, when Dietitians of Canada promote
good food to eat to Canadians countrywide. Dietitians, in addition to encouraging Canadians to eat locally produced foods, are also looking for ways to help people overcome barriers to preparing good food to eat at home.
The two main problems to the issue are economics and information, however, economics are the most difficult having the broadest impact, including exacerbating the informational aspect.
A small budget manifests in food insecurity i. e. availability and access to a secure source of food. Low income manifests itself in several ways, such as, making purchase of necessities difficult, an issue also compounded by geography. Generally, finances dictate where a person lives, and inaccessibility by foot of reasonably priced grocery stores, means transportation becomes an issue, making the use of money-saving strategies like bulk buying impossible, considering the difficulty of having to transport the good food to eat.
Since, poverty has a generational cycle; the second and third generation will have no experience of cooking a variety of good food to eat which have not been available, including less access to online information or something as simple as a beginner cookbook.
Dietitians of Canada offer some tips for addressing some of the barriers to healthy eating.
1. Reduce impulse buying by sticking to your list.
2. Plan your menus around or stock your freezer with weekly specials to be found in flyers.
3. Use discount coupons only for products you will actually use.
4. Buy meat and bread on sale, freezing them for later use. Separate large packages of meat into meal-sized portions, dating them before putting them in the freezer.
5. Stock up on staples like canned beans or fish when on sale.
6. Buy in-season vegetables and fruits when most affordable, preserving or freezing them for later use.
7. Budget by reading flyers for foods on sale.
8. Cook more good food to eat than you need, using the extra for another meal within the next couple of days. 



The good food to eat before you exercise and the timing of your meals or snacks really does matter. If you eat a large meal just before you exercise, you may experience nausea, feel sluggish or end up with muscle cramps. This happens because your body needs energy to digest the foods you eat so blood flow increases to your digestive system, leaving less energy-providing blood for muscles.
Exercising on an empty stomach isn't good either. Skipping meals before exercising can cause low blood sugar, which can make you to feel weak and light-headed. Eating a light meal before exercise may actually increase your fat-burning potential.

 

 

Eating Before Exercise

If you eat a large, protein, fiber and fat filled meal, wait about four hours to exercise. If you eat a light meal, you only have to wait about two hours to work out. Your body prefers to use carbohydrates as fuel, so your pre-workout meal should include plenty of carbohydrates from bread, pasta, fruits and vegetables. You don't need to avoid protein and fat, however don't overdo either of these nutrients if you will be exercising in an hour or two. If you feel hungry when it is time to exercise, good food to eat would be to pick a small snack like piece of fruit, a sports beverage or some fruit juice.

Eating After Exercise

Eating after exercise is important as well. Your muscles need the raw materials to recuperate after your work out. A light meal or snack within 2 hours after exercise is perfect. This post-work out good food to eat should contain some protein, some complex carbohydrates and some healthy fats too. A Balance Bar or a lean turkey sandwich on whole grain bread would make a nice after workout snack.

What About Water?

Hydration is important for your health and exercise will cause a depletion of water when you sweat. Drink a glass of water an hour or so before your workout and again after your workout. You can also sip water throughout your workout if you'd like.
We live on a planet that is dominated by water. More than 70% of the Earth's surface is covered with this simple molecule. Scientists estimate that the hydrosphere contains about 1.36 billion cubic kilometers of this substance mostly in the form of  water that occupies topographic depressions on the Earth. The second most common form of the water  on our planet is ice. If all our planet's ice melted, sea-level would rise by about 70 meters.  Water is the major constituent of almost all life forms. Most animals and plants contain more than 60% water by volume. Without water life would probably never have developed on our planet.
