The potatos and Glycemic Index Food White-2

Potatoes And Glycemic Index

Potatoes
White potatoes ( which , incidentally, can also find red, yellow , purple , etc. . ) Many health professionals claim that potatoes are bad carbohydrates because they are believed that potatoes have a high glycemic index.

First, the glycemic index is not necessarily the most important factor in the choosing carbohydrate.
The combination of foods are important in how your body processes the carbohydrates and the associated blood sugar and the insulin response you receive.


For example if you combine carbohydrates with a high glycemic index with an extra source of fiber, healthy fats , or even certain proteins , many times the blood sugar and glycemic response will decrease considerably by the way you combine your food.


Well , returning to the point of white potatoes are  really healthy carbohydrates as long as you eat them  in the right way. with all the shell and and please do not ruin frying. Potato chips is the worst thing ever invented for your health, because they are immersed in a scorching bath of trans fats in the deep fryer with hydrogenated oils that are typically used .


Keep in mind that potatoes contain many vitamins and minerals, do not forget to eat the shell and all since you get from it a decent amount of fiber as well.I will share with you one of my favorite recipes for a slender body using potatoes:

The desired amount of baby potatoes ( white potatoes mix , red , yellow and purple )

* 1 red pepper
* 1 green pepper
* 1 yellow pepper
* 1 or 2 onions
* A couple of garlic, minced
* 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
* A little salt and pepper to taste ( I like to use sea salt instead of commercial common salt).


Cut the potatoes into small pieces and put them steam until soft . Cut peppers and onions into strips and add the chopped garlic in a pan with olive oil and cook them, then add the steamed potatoes .

Mix everything together and serve. This is a delicious and healthy recipe that goes great with chicken or red meat.

The potatos and Glycemic Index Food White-1

Potatoes And Glycemic Index

Today I want to talk about carbohydrates and in particular on the " white foods " as well as potatoes. One of the reasons why I want to talk about this issue is that many health professionals and fitness trainers speak ill of potatoes, saying that are a bad choice because they have a high glycemic index. Some even say such ridiculous things as "avoid white carbohydrates" .

Well , first I agree that white bread and refined white sugar are two of the worst things that can nourish our bodies, but otherwise definitely disagree with avoiding " white carbohydrates " completely. I know there has been talk lately of eating colorful foods and protective antioxidants that they contain. They tell you that you should focus on colorful foods and avoid whites.


White foods are not necessarily always the Enemy number one.It's true that colorful foods are great,but it's a big mistake to specifically avoid white foods ! There are plenty of white foods that have specific nutrients that are hard to find in others . Here are some examples .


Onions and Garlic
Both are soft and full of protective phytonutrients , vitamins and minerals that are not easy to find in others and in a normal diet ... such nutrients as alicin , quercetin ( an important flavonoid ) , chromium and other anti -inflammatory and nutrients.


Cauliflower
Another example of white food that 's great for you is cauliflower. Cauliflower is loaded with vitamin C , fiber , minerals, and special compounds such as glocosinolates and thiocyanates which are especially abundant in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli , cauliflower and cabbage.

And a little known fact is that some of the compounds in cruciferous vegetables is that they help combat other estrogenic compounds in our food supply and environment and can help prevent excess belly fat. So to eat cauliflower.


Mushrooms
Not many people realize this, but surprisingly , even white mushrooms have high levels of nutrients and antioxidants. White mushrooms have a couple types of antioxidants called polyphenols and ergothioneine.

Best Sleeping Position For Better Rest-2

Sleeping Positions

* When sleeping on your side can prevent or lessen respiratory difficulties that could arise in another position . The reason is because the neck does not support any pressure and therefore breathing becomes not uncomfortable, ie not forcing vertebrae to stay in an unnatural and painful position .

 Normally , this position requires that the pillow is somewhat higher than in the case of sleep upwards. If your pillow is much higher or much lower, we have the risk of developing cervical contractures or injury.


Case 3 . If you sleep on your stomach :
Although only a minority of the population sleeps in this position is the least recommended. With this posture , the spine is forced into a position contrary to its natural form.


The neck and the cervical collar are forced further. first would be better to change this habit by sleeping on your back as it usually modifies the curvature of the lumbar spine and for breathing correctly, you must keep your neck rotated over a long period of time.


If you can not avoid sleeping on your stomach , you should at least try to posture tended to be slightly turned to one side and adapt the shape of the pillow to your head.


* First causes the spine to acquire an unnatural and very unhealthy curve back due to twisting and awkward positions that occur.


In addition to breathe we are forced to turn the neck for too long time, running the risk that may occur contractures or neck injuries, this is due to torsion and excessive tension that support the vertebrae in this position, also may cause choking.


In this case the use of a pillow is strongly discouraged , as well as having turned to one side the neck, is obliged to keep it back.Also if you go to bed after dinner ready, to be on our abdomen, we compress the stomach , and that for those who suffer from reflux is bad.


* It is recommended to get rid of this habit and try to change position gradually to get used to another more appropriate posture, ideally is try to sleep on side.


Case 4 . If you are sure from the best sleeping position :
 Experts advise a pillow with a high degree of flexibility, ie enough spongy to suit  various positions.

 
The three basic functions of  pillow is to keep the spine straight, relax your neck and prevent muscle strains. Regarding these three premises, in our choice of pillow, other factors also influence such as the shape of the same pillow and  the manufacturing material.

Best Sleeping Position For Better Rest-1

Sleeping Position

Best Sleeping Position,this is the theme for this article that we will talking about the different positions  to rest in good conditions since this activity is a fundamental key for living healthy and at the same time is part of our lives.

Case 1 . If you sleep on your back :
The pillow must be relatively thin . If it is excessively thick , the neck will be excessively flexed forward, but the absence of pillow cause just the opposite ,hyperextension of the neck. Both positions , prolonged over time can develop into cervical contractures.

The goal that arises, therefore , is to make the pillow ensure that the angle formed between the cervical spine and spinal column , is the same when the individual is standing and lying .


* Many experts agree that this is the best sleeping position . Lie upward allowing to stand the entire column on the mattress and head well supported in the pillow is ideal for proper rest. For people who tend to sleep in this position , it is advisable to place a small pillow under knees so that they are slightly bent. This position allows the whole lumbar completely rests on the mattress , while avoiding contractures risk due to relaxation which occurs .


* Regarding the pillow should be comfortable , it should not be very high, so avoid having cervical contractures having neck excessively  flexed forward. Furthermore sleep without a pillow cause neck tension overnight.


* In conclusion  the proper height will be that, which allows the cervical spine form the same angle as when you stand upright.

 
Case 2 . If you sleep on your side :
The perfect pillow should be thick as it is advisable to keep the neck on the shaft which marks the dorsal column, so it does not drop or rotate.


The side positions , with the legs and hips flexed and neck into the shaft of the rest of the column, is also known as the fetal position and is the most recommended for people with lumbar pain.It is a neutral spine position for preventing weight-bearing on this. If the side you choose is right, it should flex the hip and left knee, independently of the other knee keeps or straight and turn your shoulders.



* Then we should adapt the pillow to neck adopting a similar curvature to that way when we are standing, the ideal height is the second distance  from the neck to the shoulder , keeping the neck relaxed  but aligned with the spine .

It is necessary evaluate properly the omega -3 source consumed. There are basically 3 types of Omega -3 fatty acids.

1- EPA, also known as Eicosapentaenoic Acid

2- ALA, known as Alpha Linolenic Acid

3- DHA, also called Docosahexaenoic Acid

Each one of these three types of Omega -3 fatty acids is obsorbed by body in different form and in unique way.

These fatty acids are from a variety of food and other supplements . For example , ALA is derived from flaxseed and dark green leafy vegetables . DHA and EPA , on the other hand , are mainly found in cold water fish like salmon, tuna , herring and mackerel.


The Omega -3 from plant sources do not contain fatty acids EPA, so it is important to make sure we eat Omega -3 with a wide variety of sources.


Flaxseed vs . Fish : Omega -3 the difference
The flaxseed and fatty cold water fish are generally cited as the most important sources of Omega -3 acids . However, the health benefits of these two sources differ significantly.


Flaxseed has six times more Omega -3 fish oils , where 55% is ALA . ALA is converted by body into EPA and DHA , however, the body does not do a very good conversion  job as might expect.

In fact, only converts 10% of ALA to EPA and DHA digested. This is significant, since the health benefits between ALA and other oils are very different.

The appearance of these symptoms may mean that the disease is in advanced stage of its evolution. Is there unusual eye pain in chronic glaucoma, but is common in acute glaucoma ( angle-closure glaucoma ), which can cause severe symptoms from its beginning.


One of the main factors that may influence the glaucoma onset is high intraocular pressure, although there is no exact correlation between glaucoma and intraocular pressure, as some people may develop the disease with figures of intraocular pressure considered normal and yet in other cases there are high numbers without any ocular impact occurs.
