7 raisons d’éliminer les aliments transformés de votre alimentation | Fitness & nutrition. Lorsque vous commencez un régime dans le but de perdre du poids, vous prenez la ferme résolution d’éviter les rayons sucreries et pâtisseries des supermarchés. Mais s’il est un rayon dont on ne se méfie pas assez c’est celui des produits pour régimes. Et pourtant ce sont les plus vicieux qui soient en matière de perte de poids.

Si l’on regarde bien, on ne retrouve quasiment que des produits qui conviennent aux palais sucrés : crèmes, barres, biscuits, etc., tout est fait pour attirer les pauvres régimeurs (euses) en jouant sur leurs frustrations. C’est vrai que cela a un côté rassurant et déculpabilisateur de se dire qu’un produit et estampillé « régime », « faible en sucre » ou autre, mais il faut être honnête c’est tout de même une belle arnaque. Prenons l’exemple de ce produit qui, je cite, « convient aux régimes en vogue » (ça commence bien). Traduction : du sucre, du sucre, encore du sucre et des édulcorants et des produits chimiques à volonté. 2) L’effet thermique des aliments.

What are your 4 pounds made of? People generally eat between 3 and 5 pounds of food each day. If we prioritize natural, whole foods, the 4 pounds we choose will fill us up while boosting health and lowering body fat. If we choose “junk food”… I don’t know what you had for lunch today, but I had 18 apples. What do you think of that? You probably think I’m a glutton and have the GI tract of a gorilla. But check this – a typical fast food value meal has the same amount of calories as 18 apples. 18!

Not pretty. Yet I’ve had buddies knock back 2 value meals while watching Monday Night Football. What does this tell me?

Protéines : table des protéines - Bioweight. List Of Foods That Can Make A Person Calm & Sleepy. Tryptophan is the amino acid your body uses to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that influences many brain functions, including sleep. High carbohydrate foods stimulate the release of insulin, which helps clear the bloodstream of the amino acids that may compete with tryptophan. This process allows more tryptophan to enter the brain where serotonin is manufactured. Many protein-rich foods contain tryptophan. Meals that combine healthy, non-sugary carbohydrates with proteins containing tryptophan enable this calming amino acid to reach the brain and produce the serotonin that relaxes you and helps you sleep. Foods such as crackers, bread and bagels are high in complex carbohydrates and can have a sleep-enhancing effect because these carbohydrates increase serotonin, according to Holistic Online.

Note: You might see multiple bubbles for certain supplements. These is because some supps affect a range of conditions, but the evidence quality varies from condition to condition. For example, there’s strong evidence that garlic can lower blood pressure. But studies on whether it can prevent colds have produced inconclusive results. In these cases, we give a supp another bubble. This visualisation generates itself from this Google Doc.

10 gross ingredients you didn't know were in your food. Since the horsemeat scandal, more of us than ever before are holding a microscope up to what we eat. But no matter how many labels you read, you could still be consuming things you'd rather put on your "do not eat" list. From human hair in our bread to fish bladder in our beer, there are a lot of additives and food processing techniques that employ ingredients and chemicals few would classify as "appetising". It's a reminder, frankly, that non-processed foods are your best bet.

Arsenic Traces of arsenic in food are nothing new. The potent human carcinogen arsenic has been known to turn up in everything from rice to cereal to juice, and most recently German researchers found traces of it in beer, noting some levels found were more than twice than what is allowed in drinking water. Traces of arsenic can actually be found in both beers and wine that are clearer in colour.
