What Influence Does Your Food Have On Your Body?
It is a saying as old as time itself and very popular with doctors and mothers alike, and it goes “you are what you eat”. What is meant by this is that everything goes into our stomachs will have a knock on effect, however small, on our appearance, health and even personality. You only have to spend 10 mins in front of the TV to be bombarded with messages about what is good for you, what is bad for you, and what you simply cannot live without. It is not always easy to know which advice to follow though and which is the most import, so lets examine some of the most important foods to control.
Salt. Up until relatively recently, salt was not considered to be a bad thing for us and was rife in lots of peoples diets. The Food Standards Agency in the UK state that people should have no more than 6g of salt and day and most people exceed this. If you are very active then you will need more salt in your diet as it is lost via sweating and important to muscle function but most people should cut down as high in salt intake is closely linked to high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Rather than put it in your body, salt is good at conditioning skin and is in fact an ingredient in lots of skin care products
Fats. There are types of fat that are vital to the functioning of our body, including maintain organs, skin and vision. They are generally unsaturated fats that we need and not the type that most people get far too much of, which are saturated fats (AKA trans fats). Organ failure, diabetes and joint issues are among the many conditions that result from elevated saturated fat intake, not to mentioned the risk of obesity. It won’t matter how many times you get a manicure, your appearance and health will not be great if you don’t watch your fats
Water. This is not something you eat of course, but you should not underestimate the power of the H20. Most government agencies suggest that people should consume around two litres of water per day but in 15 mg imitrex reality it will depend on lots of factors like your activity levels, size and metabolism etc. Water is used in every element of the bodies functioning but also has a large impact in appearance, so if you drink enough of the stuff you won’t need your skin firming treatments quite so often
