Take a decission: part 2 protein

Dear Readers,

Its nice to come back to you with next topic on our series Take a decision in this part i will discuss about protein and its importance. i hope this will help you in taking a quality decision about your protein intake. i am going to cover about following topics in this article.

1. What is protein?
2. Sources of protein.
3. How much protein we need on daily basis?
4. How to identify protein deficiency and avoid it?
5. Good protein supplements.

What is protein:

Proteins are organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and folded into a globular form. Proteins are part of every cell, tissue, and organ in our bodies. These body proteins are constantly being broken down and replaced (if we are eating balanced diet).

A complete protein source is one that provides all of the essential amino acids. You may also hear these sources called high quality proteins. Animal-based foods; for example, meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs, and cheese are considered complete protein sources.

An incomplete protein source is one that is low in one or more of the essential amino acids. Complementary proteins are two or more incomplete protein sources that together provide adequate amounts of all the essential amino acids. For example, rice contains low amounts of certain essential amino acids; dry beans contain lower amounts of other essential amino acids that can be found in larger amounts in rice.

sources of protein:

Seafood is one of the best sources of protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat but it is the heart-healthy kind: omega-3 fatty acids.


White-Meat Poultry
Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark meat is higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before cooking.

Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods -- like milk, cheese, and yogurt -- excellent sources of protein but they also contain valuable calcium. Choose skim or low fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong, prevent osteoporosis, and enhance weight loss. One cup (250ml) of milk contains around 10gm of protein.

Eggs
Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day. One egg contains around 4.5gm of protein.

Beans
One-half cup of beans contains as much protein as three ounces of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours.

Pork Tenderloin
This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than 20 years ago.

Soy
Twenty five grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Combine soy protein foods like tofu with a healthy low fat diet.

Lean Beef
Lean beef has only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast. Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc, iron, and vitamin B12.

Protein on the Go
Grab a meal replacement drink, cereal bar, or energy bar. Check the label to be sure the product contains at least six grams of protein, and is low in sugar and fat.

What food contains how much protein is very important while planning our diet for more information you can look here for food chart which explains you how much protein is there in what type of food.

How much protein we need on daily basis?:
Truly speaking this is a tough questions to answer because how much protein we require on daily basis, because this depends on your gender, age and situation. If you're an exerciser, however, your protein needs may increase since resistance training and endurance workouts can rapidly break down muscle protein. In general ranges from 40-70 grams each day but this is also not a standard its all depends on your body weight, height. RDA for average body mass index is given in the following table.

Recommended Dietary Allowance for Protein
  Grams of protein
needed each day
Children ages 1 – 3 13
Children ages 4 – 8 19
Children ages 9 – 13 34
Girls ages 14 – 18 46
Boys ages 14 – 18 52
Women ages 19 – 70+ 46
Men ages 19 – 70+ 56

There is one more calculation says that 
Adult need at least 1gm of protein per 1kg of body weight 
Children need at least 1.5gm of protein per 1kg of body weight
Pregnant ladies need at least 1.75gm of protein per 1kg of body weight.

how to identify protein deficiency and avoid it:
Even with a wide variety of protein sources available, some people experience protein deficiency symptoms due to a lack of protein intake. Severely restrictive diets, lack of knowledge about nutrients, and even poverty can all contribute to protein deficiency. Here are some of the most common symptoms:

• Edema – A collection of fluid under the skin, which most commonly affects 
   the legs, feet, and ankles, but can occur anywhere on the body.
• Weight loss
• Thinning or brittle hair, hair loss
• Ridges or deep lines in finger and toe nails
• Skin becomes very light, burns easily in the sun
• Reduced pigmentation in the hair on scalp and body
• Skin rashes, dryness, flakiness
• General weakness and lethargy
• Muscle soreness and weakness, cramps
• Slowness in healing wounds, cuts, scrapes, and bruises
• Bedsores and other skin ulcers
• Difficulty sleeping
• Headache
• Nausea and stomach pain
• Fainting

Other Symptoms
Not all of the symptoms of protein deficiency are physical. Some are emotional or mental, and include:

•Crankiness, moodiness
•Severe depression
•Anxiety
•Lack of energy, no desire to do things


Keep Track of Your Food

The best way to make sure you're getting enough nutrients, including protein, is to keep track of the foods you eat on a daily basis. If you are concerned that you might be lacking in anything, check with your nutritionist for reassurance, and ideas to incorporate new foods in your diet or supplement with dietary supplements. I can understand its tough to track our food every day, but you can try doing this for 1 week to 2 weeks you can understand what you are getting to take decision.  

Good protein supplements:

Organic soy protein powder with essential amino acids (all essential amino acids)
Organic Whey protein  powder with essential amino acids (all essential amino acids)

suggestion: when you are buying any protein powder or shake you can check quality of protein you get per serving which is very important they more quality protein you get per serving is very important, as we as make sure you are buying organic protein because it contains amino acids that means protein is acidic in nature so synthetic might cause health problems.

Remember one tips when you are taking any protein that acidic in nature so you need to take more water to neutralize your body from acidic nature, if you are not doing this it will increase the risk of cancer. If you are taking plant based protein naturally it has antioxidants in it (because of plan concentrates) which can decrease the acidic nature.


Feel free to write your comments or feed back in comments section. You take a decision about your health and diet. want to prevent deficiency or not? its your choice.

Cancer & How to avoid it

Dear Readers,

I am sure most of you are enjoying the articles in this blog; this information is useful for you. In this article i would like to present you about how cancer will get developed, how we can prevent/avoid this. If you observe cancer is one of the problems which is growing very fast in this world along with heart attack and diabetes. We will discuss about heart attack in coming up article, but this discuss i will be limit to cancer if you have any questions feel free to join the discuss in comments section.


Topics i am going to present in this discussion are

How the cancer susceptibility will increase?
How we can we prevent? Remember one thing prevention is better than cure.

To understand clearly please watch the following video which demonstrates about how the cells in our body will be attacked by free radicals.






not about to view the above video click here

Lot of times we hear about tumor which is nothing but formed because of this kind of chain reaction. We we think about all these things lot of people think that one apple a day will take care of all these things and give us enough about of antioxidants, but that thumb rule is not always correct, if you just apply common sense... just think about the toxic nature of environment (you can say pollution & chemicals) if you they are increasing day by day... in the environment especially experts are saying that in house air is more polluted than out door.... that's true we use more chemical base cleaners to clean our home that also causes too much toxic inside our home, That a different story i will discuss about that later. 

Latest research reports says we need to take at least 5 apples (organic) for day along with other fruits which gives us antioxidants such as blue berry, pomegranate ect... are we taking that much..? you think about it we are not keeping up with better diet to fight against free-radical attack. Now a days leading health & nutrition authorities recommend us at least 10 serving of fruits and vegetables for adults & for kids at least 5 to 7 serving along with good antioxidants. if we are not able to take complete diet through normal food its a good idea to supplement always. when you are selecting your supplements try to pick the supplements with highest amount of plant concentrates and organic in nature.

Prevention is better than cure, you may be thinking that my insurance will cover if you go for treatment so i don't need to take supplements to prevent it why to spend on money them. i am sure that will have -ve impact on your health as well as you will end up spending more money for your insurance premium also.

Its time to take decision what do you want to for your family? Best or average supplements which might not give your right benefits...? remember one thing low price and quality will not come at the same time.

About Taurine

Dear Friends,

Its a  great feeling to come back to you with one more interesting article, which can help us in many ways. Recently i was talking to one of my prospective client(Indian back ground) about energy drinks. I was talking to him about on of our brand XS Energy drink, he is excited about 0 sugar, 0 cards; Caffeine free blend, he tasted it and liked a lot. But he told me that most of the energy drinks contains Taurine which can cause impotency, he said his doctor told him (but truth is he got this partial information from his friend), he said that i can search about this online also. Then i searched online about this topic. I was wondered with the results. 
In this article i would like to share some information about Taurine and the results i came across. What i understood is that its good for health. Let look into the results how it can help in health. 

Despite being present in many energy foods, taurine has not been proven to be energy-giving. A study of mice hereditary unable to transport taurine suggests that it is needed for proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles In addition, it has been shown to be effective in removing fatty liver deposits in rats, preventing liver disease, and reducing cirrhosis in tested animals. There is also evidence that taurine is beneficial for adult human blood pressure and possibly, the alleviation of other cardiovascular ailments (in humans suffering essential hypertension, taurine supplementation resulted in measurable decreases in blood pressure) Taurine is regularly used as an ingredient in energy drinks, with many containing 1000 mg per serving and some as much as 2000 mg
A 2003 study by the European Food Safety Authority found no adverse effects for up to 1,000 mg of taurine per kilogram of body weight per day. However this was in regard to taurine alone; they did not compare the effects of taurine when combined with the other ingredients in energy drinks. A review published in 2008 found no documented reports of negative or positive health effects associated with the amount of taurine used in energy drinks.

Some benefits of Taurine:

In Japan, taurine is used to treat ischemic heart disease as well as certain heart arrhythmias. People who suffer from congestive heart failure are reported to have benefited from taurine therapy - in the amount of 3 to 5 grams per day - and taurine may also be helpful in the treatment of both hypertension and high cholesterol.

Taurine and hepatitis:
In a double-blind, randomized study (3), acute hepatitis patients were given taurine in the amount of 4 grams 3 times a day after meals. The participants in the taurine study experienced significant decreases in bilirubin, and total bile acids.

Taurine and alcoholism:
Taurine has been shown to be useful in treating people with alcohol dependency. In people undergoing alcohol withdrawal, taurine given at 1 gram 3 times per day for 7 days resulted in significantly fewer psychotic episodes when compared to people who were taking a placebo (4).

Yet another study (5) involving over 3,000 alcohol dependent people with who were given taurine at similar doses showed that taurine is more effective than placebo at preventing alcohol relapse. The effectiveness of this taurine supplement appeared to be dependent on the dose given.

Taurine and type 1 diabetes:
Studies (1) have demonstrated that taurine acts as a potent antioxidant and improves drug-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus in laboratory rats, by combating the destructive effect oxygen free radicals have on the pancreas. Moreover, the second mechanism by which taurine improves insulin resistance is through an increase in the excretion of cholesterol via conversion to bile acid.

Because type 1 diabetes is so devastating if not treated properly, taurine in the amount of 500 mg 1 to 3 times a day is generally a good idea in these cases.

Studies (2) have shown that even in infants, taurine insufficiency results in reduced bile acid secretion, reduced fat absorption and reduce liver function, all of which can be reversed by supplementing the diet with taurine.

These studies also support the theory that taurine is essential for proper development and growth. Consequently, taurine has been added to most commercially-available infant formulas.


I took lot of information form different websites, so i thank all the publishers for providing such a useful information.

i hope this information is useful for lot of you, i would like to urge ever one of you that please do a minimum search about the any ingredient before giving statements in public what ever the words once they come out we can't take them back.

Tips for Staying Positive Every Day

Dear Friends,
 
It was nice to come back to you with a nice article about Staying Positive Every Day, this may be seems to be a simple topic but its very use full for all of us in day to day life. Learning to turn negative thoughts into positive ones is always going to take time, even if the process if self is simple and effective. Just make sure that you try to proactive every day by following these top tips:
 
Stay Healthy: Keeping a healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to stay positive without any psychological work. Try to exercise at least there times a week for around half an hour. Exercise is medically proven to affect your mood and to help reduce stress. The more you do it, the longer lasting the effect will be. A healthy diet is also completely essential - a healthy mind is definitely linked to a healthy body.
 
Check That You Are Staying Positive: Most of our thoughts just happen, we don't constantly check every single one. However, on your journey to become more positive it will be helpful to check yourself a few times throughout the day. Are you slipping back into your old habits of negative thinking? Try to put a positive spin on what's going on around you. Start looking at positive things in each and every thing happening around you.
 
Smile: Allowing yourself to be open to humor and letting yourself smile or laugh is one of the best ways to staying positive! Smiling is even physically proven to make you more happy. Try it right now.
 
Use Positive Self Talk: Many of us use negative self-talk without even realizing it. That means the little voice in your head that tells you things are bound to go wrong, to to avoid situations. You can actively control your thoughts, however just try to make sure you say only nice things to yourself. Try to encourage yourself, and remember that negative thoughts are rarely true. Read Positive Metal Attitude books, One of my favorite books is The Magic Of Thinking Big. What ever our subconscious mind listen it believe that, so program your subconscious mind with positive words.
 
Talk to Positive People: This a a great tip, as positivity really is contagious. If you surround yourself with people who love and support you then it will rub off on you. Not to mention the fact that they will assure you your negative self-talk simply isn't true. This is power of association, even most of time we tell our children "Be careful with whom you hang around", just because association is very powerful, so all ways be with the people how can look for positive in other, uplift people and encourage you that make a lot of impact on your thoughts.
 
We are happy to hear back from you feedback about article and blog so please post your comments in the comments section.

Take a decission part 1

Dear Readers,

Our main intention behind this series of articles is to give you the information which can help you in taking the decision about supplementation, Lot of time we are not sure what kind of supplementation we need ? and do we really need supplementation or not ? we are going to provide you the information about each and every vitamin & mineral, how much do we need on daily basis? and how much we are getting from food (What food contains how much)? what is the effect of deficiency and how we can avoid, what is the good supplementation for it. We prefer you take all the necessary diet from natural food source, but if you are not able to take that on daily basis we recommended you to take supplementation to avoid deficiency.

I would like to share a small story which might help you in taking quality decision. Let us consider that we have a pot which can hold 100 letter of water, and there is a hole to that pot which can leak one letter of water a day, Now initially we filled the pot 100 letter of water. Our target is to keep the pot always full so that we will not fall deficiency (lack) of water there is a saying that full pot will be stronger than empty pot. To meet our target we need to fill pot with at least one letter of water a day, but if we are not doing that what's going to happen? may be we are adding less than 1 letter water...? after some days the pot will be empty.

Same way our body also works, every day for the normal daily activity out body need different Vitamins, minerals and Other Dietary nutrients ( we can say in the process of metabolism, generation of new cells and energy consumption in human body along with many more ). Scientist came up with theory to calculate the metabolism rate depending on lot of factors, in general 2000 Calories of food per day is not suitable for every one its a ideal calculation, No of calories out body consumes on daily basis depends on our activity level and life style & habits. same with the vitamins, mineral and phytonutrites.

Moral of the story is that, to avoid the deficiency we need to fill gap as per the consumption. If we are not taking Optimal nutrition as per the requirements (which is minimum RDA) , its sure that we will fall deficiency of nutrition, Its good idea to add little extra nutrition to our body to make sure we get balanced nutrition. Lets look into what are the vitamins and mineral we required on daily basis along with some other nutrition. There is one more option you will have get a deficiency and take higher dosage of same nutrition (which is called drug) or supplement it when we are not deficient to not to follow deficiency.
