Body Talk 6/7/16

In recent times we have all got used to cutting out the carbs in our diets. We have been told that bread, and in particular white bread is very unhealthy. This has resulted in a huge drop in bread sales. To try and redress the balance there is a new carb based diet that has just entered the diet scene. It is trying to dispel the myth that carbs are bad for us.

Carbs are our main source of energy, and without them we can suffer from problems such as muscle cramps, fatigue and poor memory. We need good carbs to keep us functioning properly and those good carbs come from wholegrains and they give us plenty of magnesium and B vitamins which are vital for our overall health and wellbeing.

Have you thought about skipping as a good way of exercising? It’s a good way of burning calories and gives you a good cardio workout and you can do it indoors or out.  It’s great for co-ordination and good for the calf muscles. It also helps to improve balance. 10 minutes of skipping gives you a good workout.

How healthy is your breakfast? Are you eating too much sugar? Cut out the chocolate croissants and replace them with a boiled egg and soldiers.Make sure the bread is wholemeal though. Eating eggs for breakfast has been shown to cut down on calorie intake for the rest of the day. Not all yogurts are created equal. A natural yogurt is your best bet, try and steer clear of the ones that are low fat but loaded with sugar.  Even worse though is toast and marmalade, loaded with calories and it will give you a quick burst of energy followed by a slump. Strong black coffee is also good as it contains no calories, but obviously moderation is needed with this one.

As ever a good balanced diet with moderate exercise is guaranteed to put you on the right track.
