Fakta Diet

Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan makanan seimbang?

Makanan seimbang bermaksud makanan yg mengandungi semua nutrien yg diperlukan oleh badan kita iaitu sekurang-kurangnya 40 jenis.

Kenapa?

Sebab kita mempunyai lebih kurang 90 jenis organ yg mempunyai tugas yg berlainan tetapi saling berkait rapat antara satu sama lain. Setiap organ ini memerlukan khasiat yang berlainan untuk ia berfungsi.

Contohnya :

Otak memerlukan vit. B12,

Jantung memerlukan vit. E,

Mata memerlukan vit. A (diperolehi daripada makanan yang mempunyai Beta Kerotena (pewarna asli yg biasanya terdapat pada lobak merah) iaitu sumber vit. A),

Hati memerlukan kombinasi vit. A, C, & E,

Tulang memerlukan kombinasi mineral Kalsium dan vit. D dsb.

Banyak jenis penyakit kronik yang kita ketahui skrg ni sebenarnya boleh disembuhkan dengan cara menukar tabiat pemakanan harian kita kepada pemakanan yang seimbang. Seperti kata Dr. Adele Davis, anda adalah apa yang anda makan, bermaksud anda sihat kerana makanan yang sihat dan anda tidak sihat kerana makanan yang tidak sihat. Contoh-contoh penyakit yang disebabkan pemakanan tidak sihat adalah Anemia disebabkan kurang zat Besi, Prostat disebabkan kurang zat Zink, Tiroid (Beguk) disebabkan kurang Iodin, Cox-B disebabkan kurang Selenium & vit. E dll. Kesimpulannya, kita kena makan makanan yang memberi kita kesihatan dan bukan hanya mengenyangkan sahaja. Terdapat 3 cara untuk mendapatkan khasiat seperti yang diterangkan tadi.

Cara 1 :

Setiap kali kita ke pasar kita cari lah sayur-sayuran atau buah-buahan yg mempunyai warna seperti lobak merah, bayam purple(inda tau la apa jenis bayam ni), sayuran berwarna hijau (lebih gelap warna hijaunya lagi bagus), buah-buahan seperti tembikai (sikui) warna merah & kuning, buah naga (dragon fruit) berwarna merah & putih, kepayas (papaya). Pendek kata semua sayuran atau buahan yg berwarna-warni lah. Nmpk semuanya sedap2 belaka, tetapi kita kena pilih yg tidak menggunakan baja kimia ataupun racun perosak. Kalau boleh yg organik yg hnya menggunakan baja asli tanpa kimia. Apabila kita memasak makanan seperti sayuran, jangan dimasak dengan kepanasan melebihi 25 darjah Celsius, nanti hilang semua khasiatnya. Buahan pula klu boleh jgn dikupas kulitnya kerana kandungan vit. C pada buahan terletak dibawah kulit dan di atas isi dan bukan pada jusnya seperti yg biasa kita dengar. Namun cara ini sangat mencerewetkan dan banyak wang perlu kita guna untuk mendapatkan makanan-makanan tadi.

Cara 2 :

Cara ini paling senang. Apa susah-susah mau pigi cari semua makanan tadi. Pigi saja sana farmasi, beli saja multi-vitamin atau B-complex atau suplemen yg mengandungi hampir semua (bukan semua) khasiat yang diperlukan. Tetapi persoalannya, adakah ianya SEIMBANG? Kita juga terpaksa melabur banyak wang untuk membeli suplemen-suplemen ini hanya untuk mendapatkan 40 jenis khasiat sehari.

Hidden Sugars: 7 Foods to Avoid

By: Dr Lou Ignarro

Most people don’t know that by the time they’ve eaten breakfast and had their morning coffee or espresso drink, they’ve met their sugar quota for the day. It’s not the whole food ingredients or coffee—it’s the additives: added sugars in breakfast food and coffee sweeteners like syrups and flavored creams. Then, pile on sugary soft drinks or sweets throughout the day, and it’s easy to exceed what nutrition experts recommend as part of a healthy diet.

According to the USDA, Americans eat an average of 32 teaspoons of added sugars a day. Take a moment to think about eating a teaspoon of sugar one, two, three, four…32 times. That might seem a ridiculous idea, but many people eat an equivalent amount just through sweetened foods and drinks.

Yet the World Health Organization suggests that people eat a fraction of that amount—25 grams, or about 6 teaspoons daily, which is found in less than one soft drink. Those recommendations cover all added sugars, including those naturally found in honey, syrups, fruit juice and fruit concentrates.

High sugar intake increases the risk of a variety of health concerns, including heart disease. To support heart health, let’s look at some of the top sugar-filled foods to avoid. (You might also be interested in my article, “7 of the Worst Foods for Heart Health.”)

Breakfast cereals: Even if you try to avoid sugary cereals, chances are your morning bowl is made up of a good amount of added sugar. Most breakfast cereals, including those marketed as “healthy,” can contain as much as 20 grams of sugar per serving.

Alternative: Homemade steel-cut oatmeal with fruit

Cereal bars: A cereal bar might seem like a healthy breakfast, but most are loaded with sugar. Many contain anywhere from 12 to 19 grams of sugar per bar.

Alternative: Whole wheat toast with avocado

Canned or packaged fruit: Fruit is healthy, but usually not when it’s canned or packaged. Most fruit is contained in syrup that adds up to 26 grams of sugar per serving.

Alternative: Whole fruits like apple, orange or pear

Condiments: A healthy salad or sandwich can easily become unhealthy with sugary condiments. Salad dressings, ketchup, pickle relish, mayonnaise and barbeque sauce are all condiments to avoid due to high sugar content.

Alternatives: Balsamic vinegar with Italian spices for salad; mustard, pesto, salsa, hot sauce or vinegar for sandwiches

Coffee creamer: Before you pour sweetener into your coffee, think of the health consequences. Just one tablespoon of a typical sweetened coffee creamer contains around 5 grams of sugar, which is 20 percent of the recommended daily intake.

Alternative: Milk (cow or unsweetened almond, flax or hemp)

Soft drinks: Flavored soft drinks may be the worst culprit of all because of the extremely high sugar content. Just one can might have as many as 33 grams of sugar, or almost 7 teaspoons.

Alternative: Carbonated water with a squeeze of lemon, lime or orange juice
Fruit drinks: Because this drink contains the word “fruit,” it can be easy to consider it healthy. Yet some fruit drinks contain less than 3 percent juice and can have as many as 22 grams of sugar in just 16 ounces (2 cups).

Alternative: 100 percent fruit juice with no added sugar, in moderation

Most of all, check labels for sugar, saturated fat and sodium content. Opt for whole foods as much as possible, and limit your intake of processed options. Small, daily choices lead to big, lifelong health benefits.

How do you limit your sugar intake? What are your favorite foods that are naturally low in sugar?

Hartford Executive Dismissed for Comments on Herbalife

Bloomberg News

William Kelly Jr., a former vice president in the directors and officers group at insurer Hartford Financial Services Group Inc.HIG -1.07%, said he was fired last week for comments he made to MoneyBeat about the insurer’s deliberations on Herbalife Ltd.HLF -6.14% as a potential client.

Last week, Mr. Kelly told MoneyBeat that Herbalife had approached Hartford about purchasing a so-called directors-and-officers insurance policy, a type of insurance that covers legal costs when board members and senior executives get sued. Mr. Kelly said Hartford had ultimately decided not to provide Herbalife with that insurance.

Mr. Kelly made these comments on the sidelines of a presentation that short seller Bill Ackman gave about Herbalife. Mr. Ackman was attempting to cast further doubts on the company’s business model.

Mr. Kelly said that Hartford terminated him two days after he made these statements. He said the company said the information he provided to MoneyBeat was in violation of Hartford’s media policy.

Shannon Lapierre, a spokesperson for Hartford, declined to comment, noting that Hartford does not comment on personnel matters.

“The Hartford takes very seriously its obligations to protect The Hartford’s business information including that related to its customers and potential customers. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that address the protection of company information,” the company said in a statement.

Herbalife is a current client of Hartford for other types of insurances, a person familiar with Herbalife said.

Statement from Herbalife in Response to Bill Ackman's Three-Hour Presentation on Nutrition Clubs

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) today issued the following statement in response to Bill Ackman's three-hour presentation on the Company's nutrition clubs:

Herbalife is a 34-year old nutrition company with 7,400 employees worldwide and millions of members. Today, Mr. Ackman highlighted many of the reasons we are proud of our company, our record and the value we bring to members, consumers and communities around the world. His presentation reaffirmed that:

• Herbalife is first and foremost a company with great products that people want.
• There are hundreds of thousands of members and millions more consumers who choose Herbalife for our products and community-based approach to health and wellness.
• There is a comprehensive training system for members who aspire to open their own nutrition club so that they are fully informed of the time, commitment and skills required to do so.

Once again, Bill Ackman has over-promised and under-delivered on his $1 billion bet against our company. After spending $50 million, two years and tens of thousands of man-hours, Bill Ackman further demonstrated today that the facts are on our side.

We will continue to focus on our mission of bringing good nutrition and economic opportunities to communities across the globe. We recognize that he is running out of time to make good on his bad bet against Herbalife, with the equivalent of 25.7 million shares in put options that expire on January 17, 2015. Today is evidence that Bill Ackman will not succeed.

To clarify, a couple of points:

• We are proud that our members are required to participate in training before deciding to open a nutrition club. Our training approach - sometimes referred to as a "university" - is similar to the training model that has been deployed by numerous consumer-facing companies.
• Club 100 was a program that contained many of the best elements of nutrition clubs, including education, mentoring and fiscal responsibility. These elements are the cornerstone of our clubs today. Herbalife is proud of our members who use nutrition clubs as an important tool of social support to achieve good nutrition and a healthy active lifestyle.
• Mr. Ackman's claim about the earnings of Herbalife nutrition clubs is completely false and fabricated. In fact, according to a recent study commission by the Company, 87.5% of nutrition club operators feel good about the money they earn and 92% want to continue with their club.

In a separate release, Herbalife today released the findings from research and analysis conducted by Walter H. A. Vandaele, Ph.D. of Navigant Economics, LLC regarding Herbalife's U.S. business operations. Dr. Vandaele, engaged by the Company to conduct this economic analysis, assessed whether Herbalife's operations appropriately are classified as a beneficial, legitimate Multi-Level Marketing ("MLM") firm.

Dr. Vandaele is an economic expert with significant experience in, among other areas, the regulation and operations of firms in the consumer goods industry. Among his many professional accomplishments, he has previously served as Economic Advisor to the Director, Bureau of Competition and as Assistant Director for Regulatory Evaluation, Bureau of Consumer Protection at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC").

Among his numerous determinations, Dr. Vandaele concluded that, "Herbalife's U.S. business operations are consistent with the socially beneficial MLM model and inconsistent with the socially harmful pyramid scheme model."

Protein: How Much Do You Need?

What is protein? How much protein do we need? Is it possible to eat too much protein? These are important questions for people following a low-carb way of eating, who usually are replacing part of their carbohydrate intake with protein.

What is protein?

Protein is one of the basic building blocks of the human body, making up about 16 percent of our total body weight. Muscle, hair, skin, and connective tissue are mainly made up of protein. However, protein plays a major role in all of the cells and most of the fluids in our bodies. In addition, many of our bodies' important chemicals -- enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and even our DNA -- are at least partially made up of protein. Although our bodies are good at “recycling” protein, we use up protein constantly, so it is important to continually replace it.

Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids. Our bodies can manufacture most of the needed amino acids, but nine of them must be gotten from our diets. Animal proteins such as meat, eggs, and dairy products have all the amino acids, and many plants have some of them.

How much protein do we need?

Our protein needs depend on our age, size, and activity level. The standard method used by nutritionists to estimate our minimum daily protein requirement is to multiply the body weight in kilograms by .8, or weight in pounds by .37. This is the number of grams of protein that should be the daily minimum. According to this method, a person weighing 150 lbs. should eat 55 grams of protein per day, a 200-pound person should get 74 grams, and a 250-pound person should eat 92 grams. (The top calculator on this pagecan compute a range of the recommended dietary protein for you. The lower number in the range is the minimum.)

Another way to compute protein needs has to do with lean body mass, rather than total body weight (based on the idea that our fat tissue needs less protein to support it). This method is discussed in the Zone Diet and Protein Power books. The second calculator on this page can help you compute this number. To do this, you will also need to know your body fat percentage. (Body Fat Calculator here)

Do athletes need more protein?

Yes. People engaging in endurance exercise (such as long distance running) or heavy resistive exercise (such as body building) can benefit from additional protein in their diets. The current recommendation is for these athletes to consume 1.2 to 1.7 grams of protein per day for each kilogram of body weight.

Do pregnant women need more protein?

Yes. The Institute of Medicine recommends that the minimum protein consumption for pregnant women be about 10 grams per day more than usual, though this is not as crucial in the first half of the pregnancy.

But shouldn’t protein intake be a percentage of total calories?

Quite a few programs and nutritionists quote percentage of calories, usually in the range of 10 percent to 20 percent, as a way to figure out how much protein a person needs to consume daily. This is a rough estimate of a person's minimum protein needs. It works because typically, larger and more active people need more calories, so the more calories they need, the more protein they will get.

Where this falls down is when people are eating diets that are lower in calories for any reason, conscious or not. People who are ill or losing weight, for example, do not need less protein just because they are eating fewer calories -- so anyone on a weight loss diet shouldnot go by the "percent of calories method" for calculating protein needs.

What happens if we don’t eat enough protein?

Unlike fat and glucose, our body has little capacity to store protein. If we were to stop eating protein, our body would start to break down muscle for its needs within a day or so.

Is it OK to eat a lot more protein than the minimum recommendations?

This is an important question for people on diets that are higher in protein than usual, as low-carb diets tend to be. In a review of the research, the National Academy of Sciences reported that the only known danger from high-protein diets is for individuals with kidney disease. After careful study, they recommend that 10 percent to 35 percent of daily calories come from protein. They point out that increased protein could be helpful in treating obesity. There is also accumulating evidence that extra protein may help prevent osteoporosis.

Extra protein can be broken down into glucose in a process called gluconeogenesis. On low-carb diets, this happens continually. One benefit of obtaining glucose from protein is that it is absorbed into the bloodstream very slowly, so it doesn’t cause a rapid blood sugar increase. However, some diabetics do find that too much protein causes an excessive blood sugar rise, and low-carbers sometimes find that as time goes on they do better with a moderate protein intake right than eating large amounts of protein.

Can Too Much Protein Cause Bad Breath?

Yes, actually, it can. If this is happening suddenly after a dietary change, excess protein could be the cause of bad breath.

What foods have the most protein?

Meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts all have substantial amounts of protein. This information can help:

Before Herbalife I had no direction in my nutrition even though I was a personal trainer. It was mainly my mindset which had no growth. I found Herbalife and I loved the energy and the taste of the products. I put on a total of 24 lbs while losing body fat and competing in my first physique competition. I love this company, I love my nutrition program and it has truly changed my life! Thank You

Consumers who use Formula 1 twice per day as part of a healthy lifestyle can generally expect to lose around 0.5 to 1 pound per week. Participants in a 12-week single-blind study used Formula 1 twice per day (once as a meal and once as a snack) with a reduced calorie diet and a goal of 30 minutes of exercise per day. Participants followed either a high protein diet or a standard protein diet. Participants in both groups lost about 8.5 pounds
