Monday, December 15, 2008 Best Food News of 2008Consumers should now have greater control over their food choices.By Joanna Prisco, PARADE Magazine Americans are more interested than ever in making sure that what we're eating is healthy-for our bodies and the environment. This year, new government regulations and innovative products gave consumers greater control over their food choices. Here are some of the breakthroughs of the year. Calories go public (no more excuses!) Restaurant-goers in California may have noticed that menus feature a lot more numbers these days-and we're not talking about higher prices. This year, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law that made California the first state to require chain restaurants with more than 20 locations within its borders to post calorie content on menu items. The legislation will affect more than 17,000 establishments by the year 2011. A similar law was enacted earlier in New York City, and other cities and states around the country may soon adopt similar measures to fight the nation's obesity problem. As a result, American diners can look forward to making more-informed menu choices-once they get over the shock of seeing "450 calories" next to that favorite muffin. Wednesday, December 3, 2008 Q: How can I know which sports I might perform better in? A: Muscles are made up of motor units. Motor unit composition plays a key role in how well a person performs at any given sport. When "holistic training" is practiced, a predominance of motor unit type can be determined, and an athletes potential can be measured. This approach works for young and older athletes alike. Monday, December 1, 2008 Ever wonder why you get grouchy when dieting? Here's an interesting
bit of trivia: The brain gets 100% of its energy to function from glucose. Your liver supplies the brain with about 26 calories
of glucose per hour. The liver can store 300-400 calories of glucose and there is about another 80 calories of glucose in
your blood at any one time. This means if your liver and blood glucose supplies are full at 480 calories your brain has about
18.5 hours of energy supplies. That's if you don't use those supplies on other things.
8:36 pm pst So why doesn't the brain stop functioning if the glucose supply has run out? Your liver can convert protein into glucose. But, guess where the protein comes from. That's right, your muscles. And when the liver has to convert protein to glucose, ammonia is the waste created. Ammonia is toxic to the brain, hence, grouchiness. So if you are on a diet, especially a low carbohydrate one, make sure that you are eating at least 156 grams of carbohydrates per day. |
