There is much talk about the fibers, almost became fashionable.
Nutrition as a science was developed mainly during the second half of this century and despite its constant evolution there is still confusion about what constitutes a healthy diet. The concept of including fiber in our diets actually took importance over the past twenty-five years. Before she was considered an inert element lacking in relevance, but experimental and epidemiological observations drastically changed this view. It is now accepted each day with greater emphasis than is possible to design diets that help prevent disease. Fiber is the part of plant foods that pass through the intestinal tract without being digested.
Why fibers are not digested in the intestinal tract of man?
Because the molecular structures of various fibers (hemicellulose, cellulose, pectins, mucilages, etc.) are unique and can not be digested by our digestive enzymes. The enzymes produced by salivary glands, pancreas and intestine have unfolded molecules as a function of protein, carbohydrates and fats and have specificity to act on certain structures. This fact that was never awarded importance was the subject of studies in the seventies in which fiber intake linked to cancer and cardiovascular disease and who achieved a great discovery to test the hypothesis that fiber plays a role very important in preventing cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. It has been shown that wheat bran is important for its function and laxative agent in preventing colon and breast cancers. While oat bran and psyllium prevent cardiovascular disease.

What are the types of dietary fiber?
There are two types of fiber: soluble fiber, which is viscous and forms a gel in water. It includes components such as pectins and mucilages found in beans, some fruits, oats, rye, etc.. The other is the insoluble fiber is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Foods containing wheat bran and whole grains are good sources of this type of fiber. The two types have different functions, so it is important to make sure to include both in our diet.

What is the mechanism by which the insoluble fibers have the effect of accelerating and intestinal transit benefit?
Insoluble fibers have great capacity to absorb water so that they act like sponges. This increases the volume of stool, accelerates intestinal transit stimulating peristalsis, ie the coordinates of the musculature of the intestine and requires less pressure on the walls of the colon for expulsion.

Are there epidemiological observations confirm that populations with high fiber in their diets have lower incidence of constipation?
Certainly there is ample evidence of this. In Japan, where it handles the concept of functional foods, the Ministry of Health officially endorsed the promotion and dissemination of the laxative effect of bran based on scientific reports. It also clarifies that not all fibers have a good laxative effect. Examples are pectin or some synthetic fibers extracted from algae or bacteria. As is known so far, wheat bran is the most concentrated source of fiber and greater laxative effect.

There are common errors that prevent us from losing the weight you want or shape your body when exercising. Read on to know what …

Exercise has many benefits, not only good for toning the body as we get, we increased our defense but we got more energy and feel more positive. But sometimes we fail our goals despite exercising regularly.

1. Distraction
A friend of mine tells me every day that goes at least half an hour with several companions, but do not lose weight. The reason is that not going very fast but slow to speak calmly. This is a simple walk, a moment of pleasure, no doubt pleasing but do not let burn the calories needed to lose weight.

2. Not vary exercises
We have already discussed the importance of finding an exercise that we like, a sport that excites us so as not to give up physical activities. But it is important to vary our workouts, the intensity for several minutes, so that our body is not accustomed.

I like to do Pilates, it relaxes me, allows me to sculpt the body and watch my back. But combined with spinning for a change, aerobics or now that the weather is good progress.

The body responds very well to the challenges, varies from time to time the days you exercise, the intensity or modality you practice.

3. Do not take a lot of energy drinks or snacks
Some people have a habit of sipping energy drinks while jogging. Without realizing it we are taking lots of calories with the drink. If we take energy bars, so do we add more calories instead of subtracting what you were looking for. Opt for drinking water and take simple snacks like pieces of fruit or a handful of unsalted roasted nuts.

If you make these common mistakes to get exercise burn more calories and achieve a more toned body, you’ll look better, you look better and clothes certainly will do you better. Good luck.

Need to understand that muscle is to lose weight is difficult to accept. People usually turn to drastic diets or methods miracles found in magazines whose sole purpose is to sell:

“Lose 10 kg in 2 weeks before the summer without any effort.”

Certain (e) s are on a diet several times during the year and victims of the yo-yo effect. Indeed, the body adapts and reduces basal metabolism when it is facing a famine that drags. It is then forced to adapt and to spend less energy.

The basic metabolism or basal, depends on several factors such as age, sex, muscle mass and fat but for some it also depends on genetics, we are not equal before the plate, some will eat a lot without taking and not others is unfair.

The energy in calories of this type of scheme is generally low but the protein problem, especially if it becomes nearly non-existent. The body will then draw directly into the muscles that are storehouses of amino acids and energy to compensate for this lack. Muscles is less than the decline in metabolism.

These deprivations can not last forever, they eventually crack and resume normal diet before and then dropped on the worst food. They regrossir even more than before, even by eating light because their metabolism and decreased body made reservations in case of a new famine!

These plans also deprive the person of vitamins and minerals with adverse consequences for health (eg calcium). In addition to their social life is affected because people in the long are constantly tired and aggressive and is the spouse or child support. For there to be loss of fat is that the energy expenditure exceeds caloric intake, therefore the solution to dry is to reduce caloric intake through diet and increase energy expenditure.

You know why it is important to exercise in a weight management program?

It is proved that the combination of reducing calories and balancing the components of the diet and exercise in a weight control plan, a greater loss of body fat than the person who can only reduce the excesses in your meals . It increases muscle mass, gradually shaping the body and improve the body figure. This will allow us to have a stronger body with better-defined forms, which we will undoubtedly see and feel much better.

Remember that reducing the percentage of body fat is equally or more important than losing weight.

An additional benefit for many people with obesity is that the exercise helps control the appetite, which promotes weight loss.

Exercise also prevents loss of calcium from the bones protecting mainly women, the dreaded osteoporosis greatly favors the functional capacity of the heart, which, coupled with its favorable effect on cholesterol levels and blood pressure, contributes to reduce the risk of suffering cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

Furthermore, the exercise serves to prevent and control diabetes, not only through the weight loss, but to improve the ability of cells to use sugar from the blood.

In general, exercise significantly enhances the quality of life, which is sometimes reflected in things as simple as just being able to move from one place to another without getting tired, sleep well, release stress, be able to load our children without greater efforts and more easily carry the bags to grocery shopping.

When an activity becomes exercise?

When physical activity is sustained over time and carried out with the intention of obtaining the benefits of exercise talk. In this way, we can say that jumping rope, go for a walk, ride a stationary bike, playing with children, doing a session of aerobics or weight lifting in a gym are some types of exercise.

Finally, it is worth noting that many recent studies confirm that people who exercise for longer maintain the weight loss that people who lose weight after remaining inactive.

Although the process is slower and requires more patience, you can also lose weight by walking, with no need for strenuous exercise. In this note, the keys to start your own routine.
Are you looking to lose some weight, but it haunts the whole idea of returning to the hard trot, run, sit-ups and other exercises that you indicated in the past?

If so, you should know that there is another form which, while much slower, so it is effective, simple to perform, and much better for the body: walking.

To start, just think with determination “the desire to lose more kilos, which I promise to start eating healthy and maintaining a routine of walking.” Then get some good running shoes, which provide comfort to your feet, leave home, and begin.

Starting the routine of walking
Be sure to concentrate on walking with a large step with your back straight, head high, arms pivoting freely back and forth, and supporting the foot fully on the ground from toe to heel the last part .

First, you need to get your body ready for training hikes, preheater. This walk can also be achieved, ie starting with a slower pace, gradually increasing it to go up to a strong and sustained. Then, you can return to the slower pace to recover air.

Might think that walking will not bring great results, but remember to keep this promise, patience, and you can see how your body begins to change.

But walk with a comfortable way: not to hold a press too fast, especially in the beginning, and increases to the highest level that can, slowly and without pressure.

Make a habit of walking daily, or at least three to five times per week, depending on their schedules.

At first, the frequency and not the distance or speed that will give you greater benefits, so you should start slowly, perhaps giving a return block the first two weeks, two laps during the second, and so on.

After walking for a week, consider increasing the distance and take a step faster than longer distances. When you accelerate the frequency, reach an optimal ability to walk and burn fat.

Go to a place outdoors where you can keep an energetic 30 minutes per day, and in the medium term will see the results.

Alternatively, you could do ten minutes of gentle walking, ten minutes walking very fast and then ten minutes of slow walking again.

Find a routine that works for you in line, keep your own hours of walk, and follow it every week, while leading a healthy diet and fat-free, begin to lose those unwanted kilos over.

Yoga has been for centuries a practice of relaxation which has been transformed to the present day with new techniques. Originally, yoga achieve the mental and spiritual solace through meditation. Currently the goal of yoga is not only heal your mind, but also your body.

A skill that yoga has become more important has been the reduction of excess weight and lead people to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Yoga can not only improve your flexibility, but in the long run, keep your weight to that reduces or even a few pounds, say researchers from the Cancer Research Center Fred Hutchinson in Seattle.

This is the first study of its kind and the results surprised the researchers, people who regularly practiced yoga lost about 5 pounds in 10 years. On the other hand, people who had normal weight and practiced yoga increased 3 pounds less than those not practicing yoga. In general, yoga helps you lose a few pounds, but is most effective if practiced regularly and is included as part of a healthy lifestyle and active.

Relaxation techniques, such as postures, breathing and meditation are used in yoga seems to help regulate hormonal changes, emotional and metabolism.

Metabolism is controlled by hormones. The thyroid is involved in producing various kinds of hormones that help burn calories. Yoga, in turn, is helping the thyroid to become more efficient and achieving an increase in our metabolism. Its benefits extend even further to improve your circulation and rid the body of toxic substances.

As the researchers, the postures in yoga are very important to help increase your caloric expenditure and decrease stress, anxiety and concerns, which are caused by increased food consumption. The practice of meditation that promotes yoga is useful to overcome negative emotions.

Dr. Kristal concluded indirectly that yoga is beneficial for weight loss by promoting healthy lifestyles by encouraging physical discipline and promote a general state of well being.

Dr. Janine Blackman, the center of medicine of the University of Maryland, believes that yoga produces decrease in stress hormones, which will benefit by reducing the resistance to insulin action that is the cause of abdominal obesity .

Both researchers agree that further research is required to remove some loose ends as the people who participated in the study did not report the type of yoga practiced and that the data provided may not be as accurate as this depends heavily on the honesty and the memory of people.

The advantage of yoga in older people is that motivates them to perform light exercise, as it is known that many older people fail to do so because it is painful, so Dr. Kristal recommends yoga not so intense that is attractive for those who do not like exercise.

Most often we exercise to lose weight, right? But many times we complain because we do not get the results you expect and even disappointed. Some people even say they gain weight when they start an exercise program. Why is that?
When we want to lose body fat, we must create a calorie  deficit, which means you must burn more calories that you eat. However, increasing physical activity usually opens the appetite. If we satisfy our appetite and eat more when we
start to exercise, we will cancel the effect that it has to burn
calories.

As for men, when they begin to exercise are more likely to lose weight than women. This is because the bodies of men
have a natural tendency to be lean and efficient. Remember that its purpose was to be hunters. On the other hand, women tend to store more fat, useful for the rearing of children.

According to an article published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine in 1989, we studied a group of sedentary men and women of normal weight while training for a marathon during a period of 18 months. Eventually, the men lost about 5 pounds or a little over 2 kilos of fat and almost no women had lost weight.

We must also bear in mind that even if we increase the weight we might be losing body fat. Muscle weighs
more than fat and takes up less space. Pay attention to how you left your clothes. Weigh possibly more, but the clothes will be better. Definitely this is a sign that you’re on track.

You can measure yourself. Use a tape measure to take any action on your chest, waist, hips, arms and thighs. Again to measure approximately every four weeks to see progress. If you’re losing inches, it is obvious that you are doing well.

However, if you gain weight and have not reduced in size, it’s time to carefully analyze your diet. You probably think you’re eating fewer calories, but the only way to know for sure is doing a diary of what you eat each day. Then analízalo to see what you can eliminate as juices, soft drinks, alcohol and snacks.

In fact, if after several weeks of exercise and eating healthy are not losing weight, do not be frustrated or give up (a). Rather, concentrate on the immediate benefits of exercise. How do you feel when you exercise? Perhaps you feel full (a) energy and more alert. Also, you’re probably sleeping better, your body is stronger and feel less stress and more confidence. Those benefits of exercise go beyond weight loss and appearance!

Losing weight takes time, patience and perseverance. When you feel you do not want to continue, remember that what you do (or not) now will affect your quality of life. Make exercise can improve your life today as they age!
