How
Exercise Influences Hunger and Weight Loss
Recent
research shows that 45 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise in the
morning may reduce food cravings, both immediately afterward and
throughout the day.
Exercising
first thing in the morning, especially if done on an empty stomach, has
been shown to have a number of health benefits, including preventing
weight gain and insulin resistance
Your
choice of breakfast food may play a significant role in decreasing or
heightening sensations of hunger afterward. Carbohydrate-rich breakfast
foods can significantly increase hunger – especially if you are lean,
with healthy insulin sensitivity
Previous
research has revealed that exercise may also help control your body
weight by altering hormones released by your gut after a meal
When
exercising in a fasted state, it’s critical to eat a recovery meal
within 30 minutes post-workout. This meal should NOT be skipped in the
name of fasting. Fast-assimilating protein, such as whey, is ideal for
brain and muscle recovery

& Children
According
to a study done at the University of North Texas, having a healthy heart
and lungs may be one of the most important factors for middle school
students to excel in math and reading
The
research is pouring in that regular exercise can improve test scores, IQ
levels and task efficiency for kids and adults alike
Too
much “screen time” in front of TVs, computers and video games can
increase your child’s risk of emotional and behavioral difficulties,
regardless of time spent exercising
Be
a positive role model for your child by both limiting your family’s
screen time while encouraging activities that boost physical fitness

Know What Foods You're Eating
You
have probably been eating genetically modified foods for a decade and do
not know it. For example, Ascorbic Acid in Vitamin C is made from corn
syrup, mostly genetically modified.
As
a health practitioner and nutritionist, I support Proposition 37 on the
California Ballot which requires the labeling of genetically engineered
foods (GMOs). This is not a perfect Proposition, but it is a first step
in the right direction. If this proposition passes, you can better avoid
genetically modified foods, if you wish.
GMOs
have been banned from most of the European countries. Thus far, the
effects of GMOs on health are not really understood. These products have
already generated much controversy in US farm communities. I suggest you
watch the following movies: Food
Inc. and the Future
of Food. There
are also numerous other movies about this subject. You can Google movies
about genetically modified foods to find others.
It
is your right to have the power of choice over what you eat. A
"YES" vote gives you this power of choice
