 Eat healthy during the holiday season to keep your body fit!

The festive season is supposed to be filled with fun and frolicking. There is no doubt that it will be so. In order to have an optimum level of enjoyment, many of us forget that there are certain limitations to the tolerance of the human body. Eating late and partying through the night may fetch some delight for some time but they are bound to have negative effects on the body in the long run. Natural News points out to some very effective yet affordable measures that can help a person stay fit during these festive times.

 

It is true that during the Christmas season it is hard to maintain the routine of exercise but Shirley Archer, a well known fitness expert opines that daily 15 minutes of routine exercise is enough to keep the body fit. Danielle Hopkins, a fitness instructor from New York states that besides proper exercise, it is important to maintain a healthy diet chart allowing a little bit of indulgence for the sake of the festive mood. To keep pace with the demands and preferences of health conscious people, nutritionists all across the United States have started to come up with low-fat, dairy-free, diabetes friendly, gluten-free and vegetable-based foods for parties in Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Natural News has always pointed out the indispensability of natural foods in the fight against GMOs. With more and more people getting inclined towards the consumption of non-GMO foods, it can be said that society is heading towards a brighter future. Now, it is high time to introduce healthy foods to the Christmas menu also. These foods are delicious and mean no harm to the body. As the festive season is a time of endless enjoyment and merrymaking, proper care should be taken to keep the body fit in order to savor the complete taste of the festival. 

 

If the sinful excess of holiday eating sends your system into butter-slathered, brandy-soaked overload, you are not alone: People who are jet-lagged, people who work graveyard shifts and plain-old late-night snackers know just how you feel.

All these activities upset the body's "food clock," a collection of interacting genes and molecules known technically as the food-entrainable oscillator, which keeps the human body on a metabolic even keel. A new study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is helping to reveal how this clock works on a molecular level.

Published this month in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the UCSF team has shown that a protein called PKC&#-12621; is critical in resetting the food clock if our eating habits change.

Half the UK population are either overweight or obese and the rates are rising. And in Europe and the US, between 20% and 40% of women gain more than the recommended weight during pregnancy. High weights are linked to complications such as pre-eclampsia, diabetes and high blood pressure as well as early delivery.

This review, funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), compared diet, exercise or a combination of the two.

Dietary advice was based on limiting calorie intake, having a balanced diet and eating foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and pulses. The researchers then examined how much weight women gained during their pregnancies and if there were complications.

While each approach reduced a woman's weight gain, diet had the greatest effect with an average reduction of nearly 4kg (8.8lbs).

Dr Janine Stockdale, research fellow at the Royal College of Midwives, said: "We should be careful to note that the researchers are not advising women to lose weight during pregnancy; this is about managing excessive weight or weight gain."
