Nutrition program can be defined as a process of taking in
or consuming healthy and growth supporting food. With the
changing lifestyle in urban areas every other person is
surrounded with junk food or fast food temptation, but none
of those unfit food stuff works the way a balanced diet
does.
A good or balanced nutrition for healthy living is a
benefit for every age type, especially for those spending
hours in gym or other physical activities. It is a well
known fact that nutritional diet intake is full of benefits
for every category of people and supports growth in
teenagers and kids, while helping in maintaining healthy
and fit body in adults.
Before going to nutrition filled food and the important
things in a nutrition program, you need to understand that
nutrition does not only mean having lots of protein through
the day or throwing calories away from your life or to skip
a meal or to eat less. Nutrition or nutrition program is a
process where a complete combination of all the nutrients
should be present in day to day diet i.e. you can not just
skip carbohydrates or fat from your food intake.
Mostly people involved in workouts tend to suffer from
weakness and late post-workout recovery due to incomplete
nutrition intake. You may be having protein supplements,
but your body will still be lacking in nutrition for the
absence of other vital ingredients of a perfect nutrition
program. A human body needs a well balanced combination of
the three main ingredients of a nutrition program .i.e.
protein, carbohydrate and fat. Along with these three main
components, a nutrition program also consists of vitamins,
minerals and adequate amount of water intake.
A good nutrition program consist of vital steps or things
to be taken care of, as it helps to ensure that the body is
getting complete nutrition and does not lacks in any of the
key ingredient. But, there are also things not to be done
to balance and succeed in your nutritional intake. These
'not to do' things say - do not begin a nutrition program
without a physical activity like exercising or cycling or
brisk walking, do not skip your meals (breakfast or lunch
or dinner), do not depend only on supplements and
substitutes for losing weight or gaining muscle strength
and do not skip or minus any of the three main ingredients
mentioned.
Another big mistake people tend to make in the name of
nutrition intake or nutritious diet is by eating less or
staying on fast through the day (with nothing but fruits
intake). Often, eating less or nothing works towards
slowing down or destroying the metabolism of a body.
Some of the most important things in a complete nutrition
program are small but 5-6 meals per day, little bit of
everything, management of calories to a level or intake of
good fat, lost of water intake through a day, addition of
fiber rich food and inclusion of vegetables and fruits in
daily intake.
Experts believe that for a good healthy and nutritional
intake one need to eat more than 3 meals per day. These
meals should be 5 to 6 in number and less in quantity; also
these small meals should consist of a balanced ratio of all
the vital ingredients. This step of a nutrition programs
helps to put an end to extra hunger or need for food and
puts an end to starvation, also this helps to boost up the
body metabolism and supports digestion system too. Next
step comes as a balanced ratio of all the ingredients or
little bit of everything i.e. to manage your 5-6 meals with
lots of protein, required amount of carbohydrates, 20 to 25
% of fat per day and desired amount of vitamins and
minerals.
People in general are always afraid of fat intake and tend
to shift towards fat free or low fat food products, but
truth is that fat has its own vital role in a nutrition
diet. Fat is required for providing energy, stamina and oil
to the bones, muscles, tissues and cells in the body. Fat
intake to a desired level (specially the essential fat or
the good fat) is compulsory for not just those indulged in
muscle building, but is also equally important for rowing
children and ageing adults for lubrication of joints. There
are three types of fats present in food, such as saturate
fat, polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats. Out of
these three types, monounsaturated fats are the essential
and good fats required by a body for growth, strong joints
and bones, building of stamina and for maintaining a decent
level of cholesterol in the body. It also is said to have
good 'antioxidant' characteristics. Olive oil, canola oil
and fish oil are some of the sources of monounsaturated
fats; also this type of fat is present in both kinds of
products (plant and animal).
Objective of a nutritious diet is not just to provide
health and growth to a body, but to maintain its vital
function like metabolism and digestion. Adequate intake of
water in a day works towards helping the body in performing
these functions successfully. Water does not just prevent a
body from dehydrating, but also act as a cleanser for body
toxins. Water is needed in a body to support the breakdown
of valuable ingredients within the body.
Lastly, a balanced or perfect nutrition program can never
exit without the intake of right amount of valuable fiber
rich products like fruits and vegetables. To maintain a
fiber level within a body is important enough to not to be
ignored. You can always eat lots of salad or fruits between
your main meals to fill your body with vital fibers
required for performing digestive functions and to maintain
the nutrition level of the body. Some of the source for
fiber rich fruits and vegetables are: apples, pears,
oranges, grapefruits, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, carrots,
mushrooms and green beans.
Thus, a good nutritional diet program is essential to make
your body perform its vital functions with an ease.
