“It’s not what you eat it’s what you absorb that ‘s important”

Dietary Practice.

To maximise the benefit from good dietary practice, input needs to be well balanced and attuned to the individual persons needs, general guidelines to not work and may be detrimental.

 

Good nutritional habits benefits the health and well being of a person.

 

Vitamins, Minerals, Fats, Proteins and Carbohydrates work  in a synergetic manner within the body - some co-operate with others while some oppose each other. Be aware?

  

 

Metabolism - is a combination of chemical reactions necessary to maintain life. It is further categorized into catabolism which breaks down matter for energy harvesting and anabolism which creates proteins and nucleic acids from energy.

One aspect of metabolism TEF or “thermic effect” or “thermic effect of food” as well as “specific dynamic action” or SDA. In simple terms, TEF can describe the measurement of energy required to process food. SDA presents the concept in terms of caloric percentage. For instance, a common but variable example would be that 10% of the caloric intake is used in processing food.

The more calories you are burning, the more energy is needed. There is little ability to change our metabolism directly. However, we are able to impact the energy we use.

Exercise does not greatly affect the calories burned in food digestion, but it does burn calories directly due to the need for energy. This is due in large part to the increase in oxygen obtained when exercising.

Increase your oxygen supply, increase your energy. Increase your energy, burn calories.
