Hay que Contar Calorias?

Publicado el por Adriana Rueda

Las dietas bajas en grasa pueden crear más problemas de lo que resuelven en el momento. 

Parece lógico: eliminar la grasa para reducir la grasa, pero esto está lejos de ser así. 

No tiene sentido eliminar el exceso de peso a expensas de tu salud, lo que lamentablemente ocurre con demasiada frecuencia. Las dietas bajas en grasa a menudo contribuyen a esto.

Las personas sienten que una dieta que contiene alguna grasa contribuye al aumento de peso. Y que una dieta baja en grasa o sin grasa es una dieta más saludable.

Por supuesto, si consumes muchos alimentos fritos, esto contribuirá al aumento de peso. Pero hay mucho más en este tema de lo que parece.

  • El tipo y la calidad de la grasa consumida tienen un gran impacto en cuanto a si aumentas de peso o no. 

Por ejemplo, el aceite de canola es tan poco saludable que contribuirá no solo al aumento de peso, sino también a deteriorar tu salud.

  • Lo siguiente en la lista es cómo consumes esta grasa.

How to Get Into Ketosis Fast

Publicado el por Adriana Rueda

Originally published on HVMN by  Ryan Rodal

The ketogenic diet is currently one of the most popular nutrition strategies in America. With its low-carbohydrate emphasis, and its ability to boost how the body can use fat as an energy source, many people have turned to keto when other diets failed them.

Getting into ketosis is a process that can take weeks of dieting or days of fasting. It requires dedication and strict adherence to the keto lifestyle. However, there are a few techniques that can get you into a state of ketosis faster. Let’s first explore the biological mechanisms of ketosis before diving into how to arrive there faster.

Ketogenic Diet Basics

One piece of vocabulary to highlight: ketosis simply means the body has elevated ketone levels, generally agreed upon as over 0.5mM. This can happen through two processes.

The first is through diet or fasting, in which the body produces its own ketones and is in a “ketogenic” state (called endogenous ketosis). The second is when the body receives ketones from an external source, such as a ketone drink like HVMN Ketone (called exogenous ketosis). Though the body is in a state of ketosis through exogenous means, it isn’t ketogenic because it’s not producing its own ketones.

Benefits of Avocado Oil And How to Include it in Your Diet

Publicado el por admin

Avocado oil is a nutrient-dense oil that should be in everyone’s kitchen. It’s great for cooking, skin care, and digestive health and offers more benefits than I can list. It might just be the next coconut oil… maybe.

 

So what’s so great about avocado oil?

 

Oleic acid – The same fatty acid that makes olive oil so amazing, oleic acid is good for the immune system and can withstand oxidation much better than most oils. This makes it last longer without going rancid and better at withstanding high temperatures.

Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids and it works to lower bad cholesterol and raise your good cholesterol. Avocado oil is just as effective as extra virgin olive oil.

 

Vitamin E – An essential vitamin for healthy skin, hair and nails, vitamin E helps prevent against the oxidative damage caused by free-radicals.

The oleic acid in avocado oil along with the carotenoids and vitamin E can reduce the growth of precancerous and cancer cells and even cause cell death in abnormal cells. The carotenoids also decrease the side effects of chemotherapy.

 

Digestion – Avocado oil is great for gut health for similar reasons as avocado itself. Cold pressed avocado oil is rich in enzymes and healthy fats that help stimulate your body to repair itself. The avocado oil’s vitamin E can help strengthen the skin and the immune system when you eat it.

If you experience frequent heartburn or feel an abnormally high amount of gas and bloating on a regular basis, or if you feel tired all the time, poor digestion may be the cause.

The vitamins, minerals and monounsaturated fatty acids in avocado oil all help the digestive tract to process food more efficiently. This won’t fix it overnight, of course, but you will be surprised at how quickly you will start to feel better, have more energy and may even start to lose weight as a result!

A special note: you want to make sure you always buy the unrefined, cold-pressed, extra virgin version whether you want to cook with avocado oil or use it for your skin and hair.
