Muscle & Fat - a delicate balance
From a nutritional perspective, muscle tissue is high in protein, which is an essential nutrient that the body needs for growth, repair & maintenance.
Protein also helps to regulate blood sugar levels & is important for the production of hormones, enzymes & other important substances in the body.
Muscle tissue also contains glycogen, which is a stored form of glucose that the body uses for energy.

Wonder Why Intermittent Fasting Isn’t Sustainable?
⬆️ ⬇️ Blood Sugar: it can lead to blood sugar imbalances, particularly for people with diabetes or other blood sugar-related disorders. Fasting can cause blood sugar levels to drop too low, which can result in dizziness, headaches and other symptoms.
⬆️ Risk Of Binge Eating: Restricting food intake for extended periods can lead to binge eating, which can contribute to weight gain and other health problems.
⬇️ Metabolism: IF can negatively affect metabolism in some people, particularly women. Some studies suggest that prolonged fasting can lead to a decrease in metabolic rate, which can make it harder to lose weight.
⬇️ Mental Health: IF may have negative effects on mental health, particularly for people who are prone to anxiety or depression. Fasting can trigger feelings of anxiety or irritability, which can lead to a decline in mental well-being.
⛔️ Disordered Eating: IF can trigger disordered eating behaviors in some people, particularly those with a history of eating disorders. Fasting may lead to obsessive thoughts about food, which can spiral into an eating disorder.

An Apple A Day?
Tip: remember to reach for older varieties of apples as the newer hybrids don’t contain even half the amount their “wiser counterparts” do!
Apple polyphenols are natural plant compounds found mostly in the skins. They offer various benefits to human health, including:
🍎Antioxidant properties: Apple polyphenols act as powerful antioxidants that can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, DNA, and other important molecules which can lead to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.
🍎Anti-inflammatory effects: Apple polyphenols have anti-inflammatory properties, which means they can help reduce inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is linked to many diseases, including arthritis, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
🍎Blood sugar regulation: Some research suggests that apple polyphenols may help regulate blood sugar levels. This is particularly beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes or those at risk of developing it.
🍎Cardiovascular health: Apple polyphenols have been shown to have a positive effect on cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and improving blood lipid profiles.
🍎Immune system support: Apple polyphenols may help support the immune system by enhancing the activity of immune cells and reducing oxidative stress.
🍎Skin health: Apple polyphenols may help protect the skin from damage caused by UV radiation, which can cause premature aging and skin cancer.
🍎Neuroprotective effects: Some studies suggest that apple polyphenols may have neuroprotective effects and could potentially help prevent or treat neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Your brain is able to recognize artificial sweeteners through a complex process that involves the nervous system & sense of taste. When an artificial sweetener is consumed, it activates the taste receptors on the tongue, which send signals to the brain about the presence of a sweet taste.
However, unlike natural sugars, artificial sweeteners are not broken down into glucose, which is the body's primary source of energy. Instead, they pass through the digestive system largely unchanged, which means that they do not provide any calories to the body. The brain is able to distinguish between natural sugars & artificial sweeteners based on these differences in chemical composition. It has been shown that the brain responds differently to the taste of artificial sweeteners compared to natural sugars. This response is linked to the body's metabolic processes. For example, when the brain detects the presence of natural sugar, it releases hormones like insulin to help the body metabolize the sugar & use it for energy. In contrast, when the brain detects the presence of an artificial sweetener, it does not release insulin because the sweetener does not provide any calories to the body.
Overall, the brain is able to recognize artificial sweeteners based on their taste and their unique metabolic properties, which helps to regulate the body's energy balance and maintain overall health. #artificialsweeteners #nutritionfacts #keepitreal #realfood #cleaneating #nutritionist #registerednutritionist #stouffvillenutritionist #weightloss #fatloss #eattobefit
Benefits of water on an empty stomach:
Rehydrates The Body: After a long night's sleep, the body is typically dehydrated. Drinking water on an empty stomach helps to rehydrate the body and replenish fluids lost during sleep.
Boosts Metabolism: Drinking water on an empty stomach can help to increase metabolism, which is the rate at which the body burns calories. This can help with weight loss efforts.
Flushes Toxins: Drinking water on an empty stomach can help to flush out toxins from the body, which can improve overall health and wellbeing.
Improves Digestion: Drinking water on an empty stomach can help to improve digestion by stimulating the digestive system and helping food to move through the digestive tract more easily.
Improves Skin Health: Drinking water on an empty stomach can also help to improve skin health by flushing out toxins and improving circulation, which can lead to a clearer, more radiant complexion!

Protein also helps to regulate blood sugar levels & is important for the production of hormones, enzymes & other important substances in the body. Muscle tissue also contains glycogen, which is a stored form of glucose that the body uses for energy.
In contrast, fat tissue is primarily made up of triglycerides, which are a type of lipid or fat molecule that the body uses for energy storage. Fat tissue also contains some essential fatty acids, which are important for maintaining healthy skin & hair & for supporting the immune system.
In terms of appearance, muscle tissue tends to be denser & more compact than fat tissue. This means that people with a higher percentage of muscle tissue often appear leaner & more toned than those with a higher percentage of body fat. Additionally, muscle tissue helps to support the body`s frame & create a more aesthetically pleasing shape.
On the other hand, people with a higher percentage of body fat may appear softer & less defined. Excess body fat can also contribute to health problems such as obesity, heart disease, & diabetes.
Losing weight isn’t just about pounds on a scale. It’s about the balance of what should exist in muscle mass vs fat mass especially for sustaining results for years to come.

Healthy benefits of cast iron cookware
Using cast iron cookware can provide various health benefits, including:
1. Boosting iron intake: Cooking with cast iron can help increase the amount of iron in your diet. When cooking with cast iron, a small amount of iron is transferred from the cookware to the food, which can be especially beneficial for people with iron deficiency or anemia.
2. Reducing the risk of iron deficiency: Using cast iron cookware can help reduce the risk of iron deficiency anemia, a common condition that occurs when the body doesn`t have enough iron to produce hemoglobin.
3. No harmful coatings: Unlike some non-stick cookware, cast iron doesn`t contain any harmful chemicals or coatings that can be released into your food.
4. Non-toxic cooking: Cast iron cookware doesn`t release any toxic fumes when heated, unlike some other types of cookware.
5. Better heat distribution: Cast iron cookware heats evenly & retains heat well, which can help prevent hot spots & reduce the risk of burning your food.
6. Versatile cooking: Cast iron cookware can be used for a variety of cooking tasks, from searing meat to baking bread, which can help you avoid the need for multiple types of cookware.
7. Cost-effective: Cast iron cookware is relatively affordable & can last for generations with proper care, making it a cost-effective investment in your health & your kitchen.
Overall, using cast iron cookware can be a healthy choice for your cooking and your health. #castiron #castironcooking #castironbenefits #iron #nutritionist #cookingwithcastiron
