Nutrition and Fitness...no doubt go hand in hand.
Food are fuel for your metabolism, and it will depend on how you would want to fire them up really. Many individuals go hours leaving their body without food...and that also leaves your metabolism to slow down! What happens when your metabolism slows down? tell me...would you want it to happen to you?
Let us imagine a car filled with petrol (your body fueled with food).. you take a drive across the state which happens when your body is constantly working... now your car will be less efficient as the petrol runs low and a signal will be shown for you to refuel your car with petrol. Same goes to your body,when it runs low in fuel (food), your metabolic rate slows down. Unfortunately, we don't get the signal to refuel ourselves with food. When you refuel your car with petrol once again, it gets efficient and runs at it's optimum performance.
And now, refuel your body with food.. to pump up the metabolic system once again for your body to function at it's optimum performance. Does it makes sense to you?
Start it off with a well balanced breakfast..
- 2-3hrs later snack on almonds or 1 serving of fruit..
- then comes lunch..
- 2-3hrs later snack on yoghurt with berries..
- dinner (aim for lean protein and fibrous carbohydrates)
Keeping up with your body allowing it to function efficiently by feeding it well and frequently will go a long way for you to achieve your personal health and fitness objectives. So what's stopping you from keeping the fire burning?
