Getting ready to head to a party and worried about what impact it may have on your progress? If so, you need to get prepared. Proper preparation before attending a party is the best way to combat the typical high-calorie intake that goes with them.

Getting ready for Memorial Day weekend? If so, you’re likely planning your celebratory menu. Many people opt to take the day ‘off’ their diet so they can just indulge in what they want. This is not the route to take. If you want to maximize your nutrition without sacrificing taste, these recipes will help you do just that. Serve them up and they’ll be a sure crowd pleaser.

If you’ve been getting involved with Crossfit at all, you have likely heard of the Paleo diet plan. This diet is catching on by many who are doing this workout variation and looking for a way to help improve their health, nutrition, and shed some excess body fat. There’s no question that the Paleo diet works and will boost your health – if you follow it correctly. Let’s take a closer peek into what the Paleo diet is and why you should hop on board. The Premise The idea behind the caveman diet is you’ll focus on eating only foods that were around back in the caveman era. This was before all the man-made foods we see lining the supermarkets were available and before obesity was common place. By reverting your eating back to this style, you can effortlessly shed the excess weight you’ve been carrying around. What You Can Eat So what can you eat when you venture onto the Paleo diet plan? You should be focusing on plenty of lean protein from animals such as lean steak, bison, poultry, along with fish and seafood. In addition to this, your diet should be fully loaded with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, adding some healthy fats in with moderation such as olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, and fatty varieties of fish. All processed, sugar food is banned from this diet plan as are dairy products, grains, and potatoes. Tips To Stay On Track To help stay on track, you’ll want to make sure you’re always prepared. When you’re out and about, it can be challenging to find paleo-friendly snacks to consume.  In addition to this, make sure you don’t take your fat intake too low. Some people make this mistake when going paleo and it leads to very low energy levels and the falling off the plan entirely. Make sure you take in at least 0.35 grams per pound of healthy fats each day and you’ll overcome this problem. So if you have not yet considered the Paleo diet, now is the time to do so!

-wsj.com Digital fitness trackers have skyrocketed in popularity recently. They’ve become a huge deal today with practically every company seemingly making its own. Leading CEOs throughout the tech industry are even wearing them with the data-obsessed executives treating their wellness the way they’d treat most business problems, analyzing and fixing the issue. These high-tech gadgets provide a constant stream of numbers that gauge the wearer’s physical activity and sometimes even the length and quality of their sleep. As they also allow users to compete against each other, some CEOs are even using them to stay current on each other’s latest data for encouragement and motivation. Having this data available seems to be helping many to prioritize well-being, including exercising more and sticking to better sleep habits. Digital fitness trackers can help all types of people lose weight and improve fitness as well as overall health, but diet is another important part of the equation. Even if you’re exercising more often and have improved your sleep habits, that doesn’t mean you can eat whenever and whatever you’d like and not experience the consequences. Combining some of Nashua Nutrition’s great weight-loss products with the use of a digital fitness tracker is bound to increase the odds for success. In our modern, busy lifestyles it can be difficult to stick to healthy eating, especially when you’re at work or running around taking care of other responsibilities.

– 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.

This plan (it shouldn’t even be called a “diet”!) encourages you to eat your favorite foods every day to safely lose weight, even if you have diabetes. Now imagine that: A “diet” in which you not only eat your favorite foods every day, but you can actually eat your most beloved foods at every meal or snack! This is the HealthSmart Foods approach. One of the reasons sticking to a “diet” and permanently losing weight is so difficult, is because most diet plans have restrictions and rules that are impossible to sustain. This includes heavy constraints on eating your favorite items. Let’s face it: Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and it’s maddeningly unfair that this pleasure must be traded in for permanent weight loss and a healthier body. Now, you no longer need to suffer through the agony of yet another “diet to try” that leaves you frequently hungry and missing your favorite foods. Welcome the HealthSmart Foods plan from Nashuanutrition.com. This approach can help anybody stick to a healthier, satisfying way of eating that will naturally lead to safe, permanent weight loss. How is this possible? By being able to eat your favorite foods and treats throughout the day instead of, for example, suffering with that once-a-week “cheat day” thing that leaves you feeling deprived the remaining six days. The smart plan provides all the foods to satisfy the biggest sweet tooth, every kind of delectable sinful type of snack and dessert item, plus breakfast meals (including cereals and pancakes), meal replacements, pasta dishes, soups, entrees…you name it, it’s there. The flavor varieties are unbelievable, such as a peanut butter and jelly protein bar, iced oatmeal raisin cookies, cinnamon hot chocolate and chocolate chip pudding! Mmmm! These foods are designed so that their carbohydrates absorb slowly into your system, so that you’re satiated without having to eat a lot; have high energy throughout the day; and have good blood sugar control for overall health. Nashua Nutrition’s food choices are also filled with all the protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber that you need. Whether you want to get healthy or your No. 1 focus is to lose a large amount of weight—safely and permanently— HealthSmart Foods is the way to go.

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.

Deficiencies in vitamins D, A and B12 can result in serious problems, which is why supplementation can result in many health benefits. Are you getting enough vitamins D, A and B12? You never outgrow the need to get adequate amounts of these very important nutrients, which can be taken in supplement form. The Western diet is hardly loaded with all the vitamins that you need for optimal body and brain function. SAD—the standard American diet—is steeped in heavy processing, which strips food of its naturally occurring nutrients. To help overcome the nutritional deficiencies of processed, manufactured food, you should take supplements. Even if you make sincere efforts to “eat well,” it’s still very difficult to get all the vitamins you need daily through only food. The Many Benefits of Vitamin D Many people don’t get the recommended daily amount of this antioxidant. Vitamin D deficiencies can lead to an assortment of major problems (e.g., increased risk of cancer, heart disease, type II diabetes, infectious disease), but let’s look at what adequate amounts can do for you. Boosts immune function that leads to lower risk of many conditions including cancer, autoimmune disease and cardiovascular disease. Improves muscle efficiency. Vitamin D supplementation is linked with improved mitochondrial functioning. Mitochondria are a cell’s “powerhouses” and are adversely affected by vitamin D deficiency. This is why muscle fatigue is common among those with such a deficiency. Stronger preschoolers. The aforementioned link between vitamin D and muscle efficiency applies to pregnant women. A study showed that four-year-old children, whose mothers had higher levels of vitamin D during pregnancy with these preschoolers, had stronger grip strength than children whose mothers had lower levels of D during pregnancy. There’s also been found a direct relationship between higher D levels and higher muscle mass in the young children. Other benefits include a lower risk of multiple sclerosis, lower fall risk in the elderly and lower risk of getting the flu. Vitamin A: Not just Good for the Eyes Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant, and a deficiency can result in night blindness and a compromised immune system, plus skin problems, to name just a few negative effects of deficiency. The benefits are: Immune system efficiency Bone and teeth growth and maintenance Keeps the skin and mucus membranes in top mode (moistness) for repelling invaders Maintains good night vision as well as a protective effect against macular degeneration Fights free radicals, which are unstable atoms that can ravage DNA and lead to ailments such as cancer and heart disease Can slow down growth in established cancers Helps maintain healthy skin Stronger resistance to colds Vitamin B12: Especially Important to non-Meat Eaters Vegetarians and especially vegans may not be getting enough B12, as this nutrient is found naturally only in animal-derived foods. Vegans and even vegetarians should consider a B12 supplement. A deficiency in B12 can cause neurological problems including permanent damage to the brain. Deficiencies can cause fatigue, anemia, depression, constipation, loss of appetite, memory problems, asthma, issues with vision and even low sperm count. B12’s main benefits are proper functioning of the nervous system and optimal red blood cell production. Other benefits: Contributes to proper glucose metabolism Fights against brain shrinkage from age Improves cholesterol profile Aids in skin integrity Helps protect against cancers such as colon, lung, breast and prostate Don’t assume that living in a modern world and/or overeating automatically means you get adequate amounts of vitamins D, A and B12. Supplementation should be a part of your overall health program. The post Vitamins D, A and B12: Why They’re so Important appeared first on Nashua Nutrition Blog.

One common reason for snacking is an overload of stress. Many people are considered “stress snackers” as the habit is an attempt to soothe the pressures of work, school, family, relationships, finances and other difficulties. No matter what type of stress, it can cause the body’s level of cortisol to rise which ultimately increases appetite. Reducing stress is an important part of battling the bulge and achieving weight loss goals. These stress-relieving techniques can help you to combat it. Regular exercise Daily physical activity is a great way to help cope with stress as it helps increase levels of endorphins, which are often referred to as “happy hormones.” Meditation or deep-breathing Practicing meditation or deep-breathing techniques daily is highly effective in decreasing stress levels. It provides a better sense of well-being as well as overall health which can help you feel stronger and better able to resist unhealthy foods.  Research has found that it can even help one to overcome binge eating. Healthy snacking When you get the urge to snack, remember that junk food can make matters worse by temporarily spiking blood sugar. One of the best things you can do is to remove foods like chips and candy from your home and office and instead satisfy those sweet or salty cravings with Snackergy snacks. Snackergy snacks offer a line of tasty, satisfying treats that are also rich in nutrition and an excellent alternative to those vending machine products and most foods found on shelves at the convenience store. With lots of protein, they also help keep you feeling fuller longer than those traditional snacks. Craving chocolate? Snackergy Chocolatey Protein offers that crunchy, chocolatey taste you want without the guilt. Each one of these fabulous Snackergy snacks delivers 10 grams of protein to help prevent you from overeating when the stress gets to be too much.  Snackergy Zippers are great when you want something salty and come in a variety of flavors like Chipolte BBQ and Sour Cream & Onion.

Many people find that the needle on the scale is headed in the wrong direction after the holidays. If you’re one of the thousands who hope to lose those extra pounds following the holiday season, one of the best ways to do that is by incorporating protein packed meals into your diet. Why is getting enough protein so important? It can be essential in order to achieve weight loss goals as without enough protein, the body begins to burn muscle rather than fat. Losing muscle means that the metabolism will begin to slow and you’ll burn fewer calories.  The amino acids in protein serve as the building blocks for your muscles, increasing strength, giving you a leaner appearance and helping to keep the fires of the metabolism burning at its max. Foods that are rich in protein will make you feel more satisfied and keep you feeling fuller longer, decreasing the risk of giving into temptation when unhealthy snacks are around. As more energy is required to digest protein than carbs, you’ll also be burning more calories. Nashua Nutrition’s line of protein packed meals are not only delicious, but they’re good for you too as they contain the nutrition your body needs, without the extra calories and fat.  Rich tasting and convenient, HealthSmart Dinners like Creamy Chicken Pasta are loaded with essential nutrients and contain 15 grams of protein that will help you feeling full for hours. You can even choose from Italian classics like the HealthSmart entrée Spaghetti & Meatballs. This fabulous dish doesn’t even have to be refrigerated as its shelf stable, making it easy to stick to your diet while on the road. It contains 13 grams of protein to help you stay on track without having to battle pangs – one of the biggest reasons that diets often fail. This year, don’t lose the battle to stubborn holiday pounds – fight back by convenient, nutritious, protein packed meals.

Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin as it is produced by the body as a response to sunlight. With the latest statistics revealing that as many as 85 percent of Americans aren’t getting enough of the vitamin, this is a big health concern. Taking a supplement like Celebrate vitamins can be important to decrease the chances of developing a number of health problems. A few of the reasons people develop a vitamin D deficiency include: Avoiding the sun. As the body makes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight, those who live in northern latitudes, stay indoors all of the time or cover their skin while outside may have a deficiency. Not consuming enough foods with vitamin D. Those who follow a strict vegetarian diet are also subject to a deficiency because the majority of natural food sources are animal-based such as egg yolks, fortified milk, cheese and beef liver. Being obese. As the vitamin is extracted by the blood from fat cells with its release altered into the circulation, those with a body mass index of 30 or greater frequently have low blood levels of vitamin D. Darker skin. Those who have darker skin may have a reduced ability to make vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure. A vitamin D deficiency has been linked to numerous health conditions such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, autism and more. Some studies have also found that those lacking in the vitamin may develop heart disease, increased blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney disorders and obesity in addition to a host of other problems. How do you know if Celebrate Vitamins may be essential for you to meet your nutritional requirements? Symptoms of a deficiency can include bone pain and muscle weakness, but for many, the symptoms are so subtle a problem may not be noticed. Celebrate Vitamins 5,000 IU quick-melt is a great way to meet your body’s needs for vitamin D and to decrease the chance of developing any of the potential deficiency problems. They are mild and easy to take with a tasty orange flavor, making it a no-brainer option for helping to ensure optimal health.

There is about an hour window after exercising when the muscles are primed to respond to protein. During this time, it’s essential to provide your body with quality sources of protein that can help kick-start the repair and building process that results in muscle growth. During a workout, muscle is broken down, requiring important amino acids that serve to repair and rebuild. While some people make the mistake of skipping their post workout protein with the thought that they can burn fat faster, virtually the opposite is true. This is the time when your metabolism is running at its peak. Consuming protein after working out can help you lose weight and burn fat. Studies have shown that increasing daily protein intake combined with regular exercise results in greater fat loss when compared to working out alone. As protein helps to increase muscle protein synthesis following exercise, this means that it can also help boost muscle strength. During a workout, the muscles experience microscopic trauma; ensuring that your body get its protein during that hour window following the activity will help it to repair those muscles and improve strength. One delicious recipe that will not only help you get your post workout protein, but lots of potent antioxidants as well is this Pumpkin Cinnamon Protein Pancake recipe. It’s easy to make and vegetarian friendly too. Ingredients: ½ cup pumpkin ½ teaspoon cinnamon or ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice + ¼ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon baking powder 2 egg whites ½ cup oats ½ cup + 2 tablespoons water 1 scoop protein powder ½ cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans 3 to 5 packets of Stevia or ½ to 1 tablespoon of desired sweetener Instructions: Preheat a nonstick griddle coated with cooking spray to medium heat. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Spoon about ¼ cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Flip pancakes when the batter is covered in bubbles and the edges are browned. These pancakes are an especially tasty way to get your post workout protein.

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez was recently suspended for 211 games, the harshest penalty handed out to 13 players recently who were caught using and possessing a number of forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances over the course of a number of years. Of course, Rodriguez is under a lot of pressure to perform, from the team as well as the fans. He had an incredible run earlier in his career, becoming an All-Star by the age of 20 and appearing ready to break the all-time home run record. Unfortunately for the aging player, as of late, his enormous pay check coupled by failures in the playoffs have made him the butt of many jokes. With all of that pressure placed on MLB players to live up to expectations, some take the steroids route while others take the higher road by ensuring their diets are impeccable in addition to putting in the hard work required to be their best. Athlete diets are a key factor for achieving success and avoiding the dark path that using steroids can bring. The right diet often makes the difference in accomplishing just about any athletic or fitness goal.  A diet that includes high quality sports nutrition supplements can play a significant part in allowing the athlete to reach success without the risk of harming their health and their career.
