MIND THOUGHTS FOR TODAY WISDOM FROM THE MOUNTAIN COSMIC MIND BODY SPIRITUAL MEDICINE EXCERPTS FROM THE "META YOUR NUTRITION" BOOK BY JEROME PLOTNICK, PH.D., N.D. (C) 1995-2013 NUTRITION FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW CONTINUED: Myth #6. Fruit is a great snack to replenish energy after exercise. Fact: The best way to refuel quickly is with carbohydrate foods and beverages that are easily digested quickly and absorbed into the bloodstream (a measure of how quickly carbohydrates are absorbed into the blood stream is called the glycemic index). Scientists recommend that 2/3 of all carbohydrates come from foods that are easily digested and quickly absorbed. (I.e. high glycemic foods.) Contrary to popular belief fruits, except for bananas and raisins are low glycemic foods. Though nutritious, they are not particularly effective by themselves in replenishing energy stores as they are low in sugar. Tip: Foods with the highest glycemic index include bread, rice, potatoes, corn, cornflakes, chocolate bars, molasses and honey. Myth #7. Children involved in team sports should avoid eating during an event. Fact: Carbohydrate rich foods and beverages during high intensity sports such as soccer, ice hokey and track events are essential to prevent dehydration, replenish energy and thereby reduce fatigue and the risk of injury. Tip: Since all glycemic foods and beverages are equally effective choose those which are personally enjoyed and best tolerated such as bread, plain crackers, chocolate, raisins, bananas and sports drinks. hen possible children should eat and drink at intervals during the event at half time intervals or rest periods. Fact: Rice is as effective as pasta when it comes to rebuilding muscle energy stores. Tip: Rice with a protein and vegetables followed by a sweet dessert for a tasty meal high in carbohydrates. The best all around scientifically proven diet bar none is in my opinion the Dr. Barry Sears: 40/30/30 Zone diet. I advise organic non toxic foods comprised of: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, seeds, nuts and legumes. If your a meat eater then eat only range fed natural meats. Continued on the next post.
