on Apr 29 2014
nashuanutrition.com ProtiDiet high-protein liquid concentrates are a great way to aid your weight loss efforts as well as to help maintain or strengthen muscle mass. While these delicious drinks are ideal for body builders, anyone who wants to get into better shape can benefit by incorporating them into their diet. They not only help to build lean muscle mass, but also encourage fat loss, help you feel fuller longer and provide essential nutrients as well as improving metabolic activity. These fantastic beverages come in all sorts of flavors that are sure to tempt your taste buds, including: Cool Raspberry, Grape, Green Tea & Cranberry, Kiwi-Melon, Orange, Peach Mango, Tropical Fruits, and Wildberry. Each contain just 70 calories, zero fat and 15 grams of protein per serving – and are available in easy-to-open liquid packets that are simply poured into a glass or bottle of cold water, shaken, and enjoyed! ProtiDiet high-protein liquid concentrates make it easy to keep you on track and on your way to optimal health and fitness. By consuming one after a workout, the rich protein content helps to improve muscle strength by helping your body to repair its muscles. Consuming more protein each day, along with regular exercise has been scientifically proven to boost fat burning as compared to exercise alone. As there is about an hour window after physical activity in which the muscles are primed to respond to protein, this is the time it’s even more essential to provide your body with quality sources of this important nutrient. During your workout, muscle breaks down, requiring amino acids to help rebuild and repair them. As protein helps to increase your base metabolic rate by preserving lean muscle, you’ll naturally burn more calories each day, speeding you to your goal that much faster. What better way to get the protein you need to achieve the body you want than with your favorite flavor of Nashua Nutrition’s ProtiDiet liquid concentrates!

New Tech Partnership Along With Control Snacks Helps Diabetes Managment

on Apr 25 2014
– mydario.com Labstyle Innovations, maker of a smartphone connected glucometer known as “Dario,” is partnering with nutrition app-maker FatSecret in order to integrate healthy living and eating with proper glucose tracking for diabetics and a comprehensive international food databank for logging food intake. The company states that it has taken what existing players in the market have done, integrating glucose meters into a smartphone as a presentation of the blood glucose and for capturing information as a logbook, two steps further. LabStyle Innovations CEO Erez Raphael told MobiHealthNews that the company believes providing a smart software with pattern recognition and good user experience can help to provide a better level of personalization that allows users to define exactly what to do next and how to take care of themselves better.  This partnership allows Dario users to log food from FatSecret’s database, which is important for people with diabetes in managing their illness. While Dario has not yet been cleared for use in the United States, it is available in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, and it’s expected to be released in the U.S. in the near future. This could be an important tool for many diabetics as those with this serious health condition face a daily struggle of keeping blood glucose levels under control, which means choosing snacks that can stabilize blood sugar levels is essential. Nashua Nutrition offers a variety of products aimed to do this, such as Control Snacks which are known to safely and effectively control hunger by helping to prevent low blood sugar.  The unique combination of ingredients helps to significantly slow the release of energy from food to prevent low blood sugar while providing a continuous source of energy. Products like the Control Bar Chocolate Delight are tasty, satisfy cravings, and can even work to stabilize blood sugar levels for up to nine hours in addition to improving management of diabetes and glucose intolerance.

Protein Wealth: Get a Summer Body like a Guardian of the Galaxy

on Mar 04 2014
It’s not impossible to have a muscular physique by this summer like a Guardian from “Guardians of the Galaxy.” You just need to stick to the right exercise plan—and get enough quality protein so that your body can recover from your workouts. The thing with protein, though, is that for many people striving for that great summer body of attractive muscle development, protein is a nuisance. Either it’s the same boring chicken breast, grilled or canned fish, and egg white omelet, or it’s some gritty protein powder that tastes crummy—and you have to add fruit, juice, etc. to it to make it taste decent—and that requires a noisy blender that your coworkers won’t appreciate. These problems are eliminated all the way with Protein Wealth products. Not only is the issue of monotony put to rest, but these are protein foods that you can actually enjoy and not feel it’s something you “have to eat” in order to build muscle. The beauty here is that these products can go with you anywhere, and you don’t have to worry about anything getting stale or having to remain refrigerated, or needing special equipment to mix anything up. For example, the Cold Chocolate Drink requires only cold water, a glass and a utensil like a plastic spoon to mix it up. Voila! A delicious chocolate drink that’s high in protein—a snack that you can easily have at work or anywhere, while knowing that it’s helping you reach your summer goal of a muscular body. And if you’ve lost enthusiasm over the tripod of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry for protein beverages, Protein Wealth actually has a Pineapple Orange Fruit Smoothie. Not only do these products deliver on protein content, taste and convenience, but they are unbelievably low in calories and carbohydrates. This makes them ideal for those individuals who are also wanting to lose excess body fat while they add lean sexy muscle to their bodies. Plus, they help satisfy hunger and the urge to eat junky type foods. Building muscle for your summer body with proper nutrition no longer has to be boring, messy or inconvenient. Protein Wealth is a tasty, very easy alternative to all the nuisance! The post Protein Wealth: Get a Summer Body like a Guardian of the Galaxy appeared first on Nashua Nutrition Blog.

Athlete Diets: How Athletes Stay on Top of their Game

on Jun 13 2013
Over the next couple of weeks, some of the world’s greatest athletes head off as the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs enter into the NBA Finals. Besides dedication and training, athletes require proper hydration and nutrition to perform at their best. Without balanced meals, adequate hydration, and eating the right types of energy-boosting foods, athletes can become sluggish, suffer from poor concentration, and may become tired very quickly – all of which can and will affect their game. Athlete Diets: The Importance of Hydration When you’re dehydrated, your blood volume shrinks, which makes it difficult to regulate your body temperature and get blood to vital organs and muscles. To compensate, your heart starts racing, causing exhaustion and a significant drop in athletic performance. Additionally, dehydration can cause muscle cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. It’s not enough for athletes to drink water and sports drinks while they’re playing or exercising. In order to maintain hydration, athletes must prepare for dehydration by consuming 17 to 20 ounces of water or sports drinks several hours before a competition. During the game, they must continue to hydrate as the body loses vital moisture through sweating and physical exertion. Athlete Diets: Balanced Meals for Energy Without proper nutrition, athletes can suffer from poor performance, longer recovery times after injuries and intense training sessions, weight gain and weight loss, and an impaired immune system. Eating a balanced, healthy diet complete with energy-enhancing foods customized to support their particular activity is extremely important for athletes who want to perform at peak level. All in all, athletes’ performance is as affected by what they put into their bodies as it is by training and practice. Without the basics – hydration and nutrition – all the practice and training in the world would not help athletes reach their full potential.

One of the best times to drink one of these shakes is right before a workout.  When you have chosen the best protein shake for your needs, you will find that it can give your body more energy to help you achieve a more powerful and more effective exercise.  Ingesting one of these shakes before exercise can also help ensure that your body breaks down fat for energy instead of muscle tissue.  You will also find that these shakes can be a great way to restore the body immediately following your workout. Depending on your dietary goals, you might find that a protein shake can make a fantastic meal replacement.  For people working to replace one meal a day, using one of these shakes in place of breakfast can keep your energy levels up throughout the day.  Avoid using a shake to replace your afternoon meal, however, as this is when your body’s nutrient and caloric needs are the highest and when you should be focused on providing your body with a healthy and varied meal that will give your body everything you need.  The best protein bars or shakes should be used instead as a breakfast or dinner replacement. One of the best pieces of advice for any dieter is to choose the best protein shake for your needs and for the time that you intend to drink it.  A shake can be a great way to help restore the body while you sleep, for example, but you would want to avoid shakes containing excessive calories.  Calories might be a good idea, however, just before a major workout, in order to ensure that you have the sugar needed to help you get the most benefit from your exercise.  As with any supplement, it comes down to determining your specific needs and then choosing the best product to help you meet them.

Are Meal Replacements Healthy?

on Jan 31 2012
For people seeking to lose weight, the question of whether or not meal replacements are healthy is not at all uncommon.  Shakes and other supplements designed to provide nutrition in place of meals are an important part of the diet and bariatric nutrition industries, but consumers have also become increasingly conscious of product additives and overall safety where foods and beverages are concerned.  Thankfully, when you are choosing the right shakes and supplements, you will find that they are more than just healthy, they are actually better for you than many so-called healthy meal choices. With meal replacement shakes, you are able to take in a significant portion of your daily recommended nutrients in a liquid form.  This provides the added benefit of allowing the nutrients to be easily and readily absorbed into the body.  While solid foods require being broken down by stomach acids in order to provide nutrient content, the same is not true for meals ingested in liquid form.  For people seeking to get better nutrition without taking in large quantities of high calorie foods in order to achieve this, these supplements are absolutely a better option. One thing that consumers should certainly know about meal replacements is that they are usually a better source of nutrients than a daily multivitamin.  While it is very important to ensure that the supplements and meals you take in each day provide all of your recommended nutrients, the increased absorption rate means that your body will make use of many more nutrients than it would be able to pull out of a traditional vitamin pill.  This is certainly something that many dieters should consider when determining if replacements are a good part of their diet and exercise regimen. The bottom line is that if you are looking for a better way to ensure that your body receives adequate nutrition without starving or skipping meals, it is well worth your time and energy to look into high quality meal replacement shakes.  With a bit of research, you can easily find shakes that will help you meet your caloric and nutrient goals without unnecessary or potentially unhealthy additives.  The quest to lose weight in a safe and effective manner does not have to be overly difficult or overwhelming.  With the right supplements and replacements, you can even find that achieving your dietary goals can be as delicious and rewarding as it is beneficial!
