When we say facts about nutrition, it does fall into a lot of
categories like what is more nutritionally better, or what are the
guidelines that are to be followed to get the best nutrition but in the
blog we will focus on facts that we are not supposed to ignore about
proper nutrition in our or our loved one’s life:
Fact 1:
Never ignore vitamin D deficiency
We all know how we get vitamin d from the sun but most of the times
when we walk out we walk out with SPF creams and lotions which ends up
blocking the vitamin d to our body and mostly people like to stay in
shadows unless it’s crazy cold but when it’s crazy cold our skin does
not get in contact with the sun, but do we know what would happen if we
fall under low vitamin D deficiency category? You may feel weak,
lethargic and even demotivated to move a finger because eventually your
body will not have the right amount of energy to do anything,
irrespective of what you eat or how much caffeine you jug deep down you
will feel weakened. And to avoid all of that, you must keep you
vitamin-d in check. Vitamin D is a crucial hormone in the body and many
people are deficient in it. Reversing a deficiency can have powerful
health benefits.
Fact 2:
The artificial trans fats, are actually very bad
Trans fats are basically formed as a side product, where when
vegetable oils are hydrogenated. Yeah it’s that vegetable oil packet in
your WAIWAI that you pour for taste.
The food producers regularly use hydrogenation to harden vegetable
oils for use in products such as margarine and since trans fats have
been linked with poor health, margarine free of trans fats is becoming
increasingly common. Avoiding trans fats, is important for you if you
want to live a healthy lifestyle and want to avoid diseases.
Fact 3:
Whether it is added preservatives or sugar, it is a warning for you to not consume it at all
The only reason that we find such things in our foods today is
because the taste buds, want it all. Right? Would you drink a cup of
coffee or tea without sugar if you have been fed with the same with
sugar in it? No you would not because the taste buds just like it so
much that we forget about our health and just try to keep up with our
moods. But no, actually added sugars can be toxic and no we are not
talking about a relationship which you can get out of.
To improve the taste of processed foods, producers often add sugar to
them. This type of sugar is known as added sugar and the most common
types of added sugar include table sugar (sucrose) and syrups, such as
high-fructose corn syrup. So next time when you read the label of your
favourite drink etc, make sure you give it a ready and avoid the one
with these.
