Courtesy of Paulo Ordoveza Living a natural and clean lifestyle is important to anyone looking to keep their body in top condition. Fitness enthusiasts all know the great blessings that superfoods give to our bodies. Superfood is a name given to a natural food that contains multiple benefits toward our health. Eating a good amount of superfoods is a much more natural choice than taking numerous amounts of supplements everyday. There are a wide variety of superfoods that all have great nutritional value. Out of all of those out in the markets, there is one food that has not received its much deserved attention, it may even be one of the healthiest foods someone can eathemp. Many people only know hemps relation to marijuana. However, hemp is actually the non-psychoactive breed of the cannabissativa plant, meaning hemp does not contain the ingredients that can produce a high. There are many ways the hemp plant can be used, but by just eating it, it can easily make your diet that much healthier. Unfortunately, based on its relationship to marijuana, hemps nutritional value has not made it to popular media. The value of hemp is becoming increasingly popular, though. There are many vegans, vegetarians and people just looking to eat smart that already know the benefits of including hemp in your diet. Hemp can be eaten as seeds, oil or as the fiber of the plant. All contain rich nutritional value and can be enjoyed with endless recipes. Hemp seeds alone can outmatch many supplements and other foods on the market in nutritional gain. According to 3FatChicks.com, a diet support website, and Care2.com, a healthy living website, hemp seeds are one of the few Omega-3 sources found in plants, which helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, can lower blood pressure and can even diminish Alzheimers disease. Diabetics can appreciate hemp seeds as they help control blood sugar levels. The seeds also contain essential amino acids that improve muscle control, mental function and normal body maintenance of cells, muscles, tissues and organs. If youre looking to prevent cravings throughout the day, eating hemp seeds for breakfast will keep you full. Eating hemp fiber proves to be even more beneficial to the body and is a greater source if you are looking to consume more protein. The protein and fiber in hemp slows digestion which prevents spikes in blood sugar and therefore sustains your bodys energy. Like its seeds, the fiber in hemp keeps your body full longer, resulting in less snacking. The Omega-6 fatty acids found in hemp fiber stimulate hair and skin growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism and can also helps the brain function. Hemp provides all this as well as containing B vitamins, vitamins A, D and E, calcium, sodium and iron. Similarly to other foods, hemp can be consumed in different ways through a variety of products. Hemp can be bought at markets as protein powders, milk, oil and the seeds themselves. Nutiva, a producer of organic superfoods, is an example of one of the few hemp food providers you can find in markets. Nutiva has hemp seeds, oil, shakes and powders as a selection of gluten-free and non-GMO products. Hemp foods are widely and commonly sold as organic which favors a vegans diet. For someone not looking to sacrifice taste, hemp products can be found usually flavored with chocolate or vanilla, resulting in a delicious and nutrient dense product. Switching or just deciding to add hemp products to your diet can greatly help your bodys performance. Athletes, students or just the average person can all gain and appreciate the perks given by hemp.

Healthy Diet Plans For Women & Men|free Dest Diet Meal Plans: 2 Simple Tips For The Most Effective Abs Diet Plan
Now we know to have a flat sexy stomach or a washboard abs your diet is the most important factor in achieving this look. So if want to get to low levels of body fat then here a few simple tips that can take away some of the guesswork and give you a very effective abs diet plan. Tip 1 - Eat 1 Ingredient Food This is a tip that I have mentioned before that is really simple yet I think people just don't follow it as much as they think they do. If you just eat real food that has 1 ingredient such as meats, fish, vegetables, and fruits you will have a very clean diet and with the right portion control will have a very effective diet for fat loss. It really does not get any easier or simpler than that. To make it even more effective don't go crazy on the animal products and get the majority of you calories from plants foods (these are more preferable to get super lean) and fruits. Now this doesn't mean meals should be one ingredient just that your plate should be made up of one ingredient food types. By following this plan you will also find that your hunger is better satisfied with less cravings due to the nutrient density of these foods but you will be eating fewer calories. However your plates will be full and it will feel like you are still eating a lot of food so the diet doesn't feel as restrictive. Look at any diet program on the market and they all will promote this type of food selection. Tip 2 - Don't Eat Too Much Hey yet again a really simple bit of advice but it is one area that so many people fall down. Just because you are following what is considered a healthy clean diet doesn't mean you don't have to watch how much you are eating. This is especially true when trying to get your abs to pop out. As a general rule of thumb take your weight in pounds and multiply by 10. What ever this figure is I would reduce it by 10% and use that as your daily calorie allowance. If you're not losing weight at this amount first look at your quality of your diet and improve if possible. If this doesn't work and your exercising regularly then reduce this by another 10% and keep doing this till you find the right amount of calories for your body to burn fat. Add intermittent fasting if you want to make this easier. If your reading this and thinking I will never be able to stick with this or I don't like vegetables etc then I would consider what I practice which is intermittent fasting. This is basically for 2 days a week I skip breakfast and lunch and have a healthy1 ingredient food type meal for dinner. On the other days I eat relatively healthy without counting calories plus I have the odd treat meal here and there. Now I am simplifying this slightly and actually use a program called Eat Stop Eat, which explains the whole strategy and science behind this diet plan. Personally I have found this very easy to follow and the results have been impressive. Whatever path you decide to choose remember the two basic ingredients for any successful abs diet plan is real whole foods and eat less than you need. Who said losing weight wasn't easy? I am Howard Standring a Personal Trainer who lives in Southern Spain. I coach and advice men and women of all ages to help them achieve a lean attractive body that lasts for life.
