    Vitamins and supplements

  •                         Vitamins and supplements


    Vitamins and supplements may do more harm than good in some cases, according to a new report by Consumer Reports. 
    The report surveys 10 unknown hazards associated with the intake of vitamins, minerals, herbs and nutritional supplements. In the US, more than half of the population take supplements, and the industry has grown to 27,000 million. 
    But supplements are not necessarily risk free, according to the doctor José Mosquera, medical adviser to Consumer Reports, although patients may believe that supplements are safe because they are natural, not really all are.
    Between 2007 and mid-April 2012, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, for its acronym in English) received more than 6,300 reported cases of adverse reactions associated with dietary supplements, including vitamins and herbs, according to Consumer Reports . The reports included 115 deaths and more than 2,100 hospitalizations.
    Supplements should only be taken when there is a true deficiency, Mosquera said, and people should talk to their doctor before you start taking a supplement.
    "Supplements and vitamins should never be a substitute for a healthy lifestyle with a nutritional plan," he says. Adds that it is better to get vitamins from a healthy food than from supplements.
    The Council for Responsible Nutrition USA (NRC, for its acronym in English), an association representing dietary supplement manufacturers, opposes. "There is strong scientific evidence supporting the benefits of nutritional supplements and these products have a very strong safety profile."
    But Consumer Reports finds that some assumptions are modified natural products with the same active ingredients of prescription drugs, and people often experience unwanted side effects while taking them.
    Supplements for bodybuilding, sexual enhancement and weight loss are the most likely to be modified, says Mosquera. "Protect yourself trying to avoid these types of supplements, and talk to your doctor about changes in lifestyle," he advises.
    High doses of vitamin and mineral supplements present in some other hazard. People taking more than 100% of the recommended dose of a nutrient may have adverse reactions.
    The report also warns that the FDA does not require supplements have warning labels unless they contain iron. For example, some products with St. John's wort are not aware that it is known to reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills and blood thinners.
    It has not been shown that any supplements cure a major disease, the report says. New evidence shows that even Omega-3 pills, believed to reduce the risk of heart disease, it may not be as effective as once thought. Click here for more details.

    Intermittent Fasting

  • Monday 18 November 2013
  • How Does Intermittent Fasting ?



    With intermittent fasting , your body works differently when this " powered " compared to when in " fasting " . When you eat a meal, your body works a couple of hours to process food , so you can burn what you just consume. Because you have all this amount of food available , it's easy to burn energy stored in your blood stream ( through the food you ate ) , your body chooses to use it as energy instead of stored fat. This is especially true when you consume carbs / sugars, since your body prefers to burn sugar for energy before any other source.

    During the " fasting state " , your body has no stored food to use for energy , so it's more likely to use the fat stored in your body instead of glucose in the bloodstream or the glycogen stored in the muscles / liver.

    Objective accomplished = Fat Burning

    The same applies to the exercise in a state of " fasting " . Without a supply of glucose and glycogen for use as energy ( which has already been exhausted during the time of fasting , and still not replenished with food before training ) , the body is forced to adapt and use the unique energy source that provides: the fat stored in your cells.

    Why does this work? Your body reacts to energy consumption ( food consumption) with insulin production . In essence, the body more sensitive to insulin , the more likely you are to efficiently use the food you eat , which can help lead to weight loss and muscle development . Coupled with this, the body is more sensitive to insulin after a period of fasting.

    The glycogen ( a starch stored in the muscles and liver that your body can burn as fuel when necessary ) is depleted during sleep (fasting ) , and further depleted during training , that could further increase the sensitivity to insulin. This means that when you eat immediately after your workout will be stored more efficiently : mostly in the form of muscle glycogen reserves , used for energy immediately to help with the recovery process , with minimal amounts of stored fat.

    Compare this to a normal day (no intermittent fasting ) . With insulin sensitivity in normal levels , carbohydrates and food consumed cause glycogen storage, enough glucose in the bloodstream , and therefore is more likely to be stored as fat . Not only that, but growth hormone is increased during fasting (either during sleep or after a period of fasting ) . Combine this secretion of growth hormone increased and decreased insulin production (and thus increases insulin sensitivity ) , with this you are preparing your body for muscle growth and fat loss intermittent fasting .
