Wir haben uns gefragt: Gesund essen, was heißt das eigentlich? ⚕️
Denn bei diesem Thema scheiden sich die Geister.
Daher haben wir die Grundsätze einer vollwertigen #Ernährung zusammengefasst.🍎🥦 https://t.co/DHQgvBcRsu
Want to make healthier choices at the store? Watch for foods low in salt, sugar & saturated fat. 👀
Two products may look similar but contain very different amounts of nutrients. Remember to check the #NutritionLabel & compare between products for the healthier choice. 💪

We at ZINTINUS are extremely excited to back @LykonDX on its journey to give consumers access to advanced nutrition analytics and insights in order to enhance individual diets.
A great opportunity to improve #health, #wellbeing and #performance.
Much success!
One reason people don’t start exercising is because they think they have to beat themselves up and spend hours in the gym to get results.
That’s not true!
Even just once or twice a week in the gym for 20-30 minutes at a time is a great place to start plus walking more.

In the EU, all pre-packaged foods must display #nutritioninformation. 🔍🇪🇺
Nutrition labels allow us to compare one food with another and understanding how to read them can help us make healthier food choices. 🥫✅
All grains start their life as whole grains! 🌾
When still in the field, #wholegrains are the entire seed of a plant (or kernel) made up of 3⃣ edible parts – bran, germ & endosperm – protected by an inedible husk. 😋 But #DYK the difference between whole grains & other grains?
Dietary #fibre is a group of carbohydrate compounds in plants that can’t be fully digested in our gut, yet it’s vital for our health!
Fibre-rich foods such as fruit & veg, pulses & whole grains help us keep bowel movements regular & reduce the risks of some chronic diseases. 📉
It's time to learn Friday:
1) Your body can ABSORB lots of protein! (20-30g is NOT a limit)
2) Your body only has a LIMITED capacity to STORE/USE protein
3) The major use of protein is NOT for muscle (at best it's about 25%)
4) ALL protein-containing tissues turnover protein*
Yesterday: "Meat-eating extends human life expectancy worldwide"
Today: "Low-meat and meat-free diets associated with lower overall cancer risk"
Same outlet. Same PICTURE. Both studies are useless, for the same reason - hopeless confounding
Argh.

A meta-analysis by Saeidifard et al. found that resistance training is associated with a 21% decrease in all-cause mortality, while resistance training plus aerobic training is associated with a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality.
High in fibre, protein, healthy fats, vitamins & minerals, #nuts are both a perfect healthy snack and tasty ingredients for your #plantbased meals. 🥜
⚠️ However, due to their high content in fats, avoid exceeding the recommended amount of a serving and opt for unsalted options.
🌱 Apart from being environmentally friendly and making us more creative in the kitchen, adding more whole #plantbased foods to our diet has many health benefits, including a reduced risk of:
🟢 heart diseases
🟢 certain cancers
🟢 type 2 diabetes
But there are more benefits! ⤵️
If you think #plantbased diets fall short on proteins, you might get surprised at the variety of plant sources you can get them from! 💪
From pulses & whole grains to meat substitutes, ensuring daily variety will help you meet your protein needs and try new delicious dishes! 😋
🔬📊 Food & health information online often claims to be "#evidencebased" or "backed by science".
The truth is that the certainty & reliability of scientific sources can vary too! Understanding what can be concluded from a study and what cannot due to its limitations is key. 👇
When food is unpacked or not pre-portioned, it might be tricky to decide how much to eat. 🤷♀️
A convenient way to measure #foodportions may be using your hands. 🤚👍🤏 Sometimes you might need less or more portions per meal, but this can get you started ⤵️
The sun is our main source of vitamin D. ☀️
However, with winter approaching & the consequent low sun exposure, ensuring adequate levels of #vitaminD starts with a good intake of foods rich in this #micronutrient and supplementation when advised. 👇
Provided you consume adequate daily protein from high-quality sources (at least 1.6 g/kg/d), there's little if any reason to concern yourself whether the protein is fast vs slow acting from a muscle-building standpoint
#Micronutrient deficiencies can affect anyone, but certain groups are at a greater risk than others. 👦👵🤰
