Nutritional Facts

Hi All,

Well I just finished a pretty good Monday.  I was busy doing massage and energy work today.  It was mostly a surprise too.  Very Nice...happy to be able to help.

On Thursday evenings at 5pm, I lead a Holistic Weight Management group.  The components include, nutritional information, group support, and each week I do a group hypnosis session.  I also provide a hypno CD that folks can take home an listen to on their own in between....all for $15 per week - no sign ups or membership - just come if you are having issues with your weight.

If you're ready to make some changes around food - this is the way to do it (In my humble opinion).


Today I'd like to share a little nutritional info I've come across recently.
This is pretty alarming information about sugar...


Refined Sugar - High Fructose Corn Syrup

 - Recommended no more than 1 pound per month
            1 tsp sugar = 4.2 gram
            453 gm = 1 lb
            1 12 oz soda = 10 tsb of sugar
            1 - 2 liter soda = 1/2 lb of sugar
US govt estimates each person averages 741 lbs of Sugar intake per year.



Almonds...I eat these pretty regularly.


- high in Omega 3 fatty acids
- High in Vitamin E
- concentrated source of oxalates - good source of calcium
- Promote Healthy Heart, Weight, Digestive Syst, and Gallbladder
- Keep refrigerated



A little info about Vitamin D


- Needed for strong bones - helps the body absorb Calcium
Good Sources
- Fatty Fish -- Wild Salmon, Tuna, Mackerel are best
- Mushrooms, Egg Yolks, Cheese
- Milk, Yogurt, Cereal - it's added in them
- Sunlight




and...Flaxseed.  I do have some ground flaxseed.  Good stuff!


- Great source of fiber
- most concentrated plant source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids
  -- the heart healthy nutrients that also have snit-inflammatory properties
- contain phytoestrogens - estrogen precursors found in plants known as lignans.  they help to balance estrogen levels in the body and also have antioxidant properties.





So each week I find a few little nutritional nuggets that can be incorporated into your diet a little at a time.  Moderation is key.

Have a great week folks.  Lets make it a good one.  Do something nice for someone.

Peace,

Tom
