Eating in front of TV or eating away from home the cause for weight gain.Tips to avoid unhealthy habits

In the world today the number of meals eaten away from home continues to rise.
According to recent research,this trend is most likely due to the increase in the number of two career families,who have very little time for food shopping and preparing and cooking meals at home during the week.
It may be that you frequently have to eat away from home because of your work schedule or lifestyle.

 

Being aware of the pitfalls will enable you to make healthy choices.

For example,you could choose a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a cheese tropped burger and order small portion or share larger ones.Instead of having chips,you can opt for a side salad,which is nutritions and much lower in fat.

Restaurant meals usually contain more fat and therefore more calories are often larger than those served a starter when eating out,or to eat only part of what you are served.

• Try to control the portion sizes by feeling obliged to eat everything on your plate.Stop eating when you feel full.
• Wherever possible,choose food that is grilled,poached or baked,rather than fried,as the later will be high in calories and saturated fat content.
• Order sauces and salad dressing "on the side" and choose fruit for dessert,or better skip it.

Pizza and fast food restaurants are frequent sources of food consumed away from home.When you are eating in these places,beware of "supersize" portions and "value meals" or "meal deals,for example : double cheeseburger,extra large fries and large fizzy drinks.
Deals such this are marketed together to seem like a bargain and therefore offer a financial incentive to consume more food than you would otherwise have bought or eaten.

It is well documented that the more television you watch,the more likely you are to be overweight,with all the negative implications for health that this bring with it.
Excessive television watching and computer use have been linked to the increased in numbers of overweight children and adolescents.

• A sensible recommendation to follow is that children should be limited to no more than 2 hours per day of watching television and videos and watching computers.
• To achive this try to limit the time your whole family spend watching television or using the computer and find more active ways of using leisure time.
• You may also try to be more active while you watch television.For example you can buy an exercise bike or treadmill and use it while you view.If this sound too strenuous you can do the ironing or some light cleaning or lift light weights while sitting.

Is a vegetarian diet healthier?

Not all the vegetarians follow the same dietary restrictions:lacto-vegetarians include dairy but no flesh,such as meat,chichen or fish.
Ovo-vegetarians include eggs in their diet,but avoid all other animal foods.
Lacto- and ovo-vegetarians include both dairy and/or eggs,while vegans don't eat any animal products at all.
Because of the limitations of vegetarians dietts,careful planning is needed to avoid the nutritional defeciencies that can otherwise occur.Becoming a vegetarian.however, is not difficult and there is no question that well-designed vegetarian diets are healthy for more people,including pregnant women and children.

Benefits of vegetarianism

The diets of people who eat less animal protein and more plant based protein tend also to contain less fat and cholesterol and more dietary fibre.
This may explain why vegetarians have lower total and LDL-cholesterol level and lower rates of cardiovascular disorders,such as high blood pressure and heart attack,obesity,diabetes and colon cancer than those who eat meat.
It is not clear however,wheter these health benefits are do solely to the diet or are linked to factors such as regular exercise,lack of smoke or low alcohol intake.

While vegetarian diets that include cheese and eggs will be easier to balance nutritionally than those that include all animal products ,vegetarians must still plan their diets carefully to obtain all the nutritients they need.
For example,iron,which helps red blood cells to carry oxygen to the tissues,is present in both plant and animal foods,but haem iron (which is obtain from animal products) is more readily absorbd by the body than the iron that is obtain from plants.
Vitamin B12 is found only in animals foods and fortified soya products.Because this vitamin is required for the functioning of the nervous system,vegans may require in order to avoid deficiency.

How to combine plant proteins

Plant based foods are described as incomplete sources of protein as (with the exeption of soya) they contain insufficient amounts of one or more essential amino acids.They can be combined to form good quality protein,because different amino-acids are missing from each food source.
Pulses (including soya beans products) should form the basis of your main meal.Simply add a grain and/or a seed or nut and the meal will provide good quality protein.
