Tips on Nutrition (Proper Nourishment for Your Body)Written by Carla Balattan
Continued from page 1
Minerals in our body should also be part of our menu for our well-balanced constitution. Aim to eat one of rich sources of iron two to three times a week. Body absorbs only 20-40% of iron available in meat sources, but only 5-20% of iron from vegetable sources and egg. If you eat a mixed diet including fruits, vegetables, meat and fish your body will absorb 15-20% of iron in food. So now, we remember GLOW foods our youth? A little tip for women: If you’re in your childbearing years, get at least 0.4 milligram (400 micrograms) of folic acid daily to reduce risk of having a child with a neural tube defect. Excellent sources of this are spinach, broccoli, chickpeas, romaine lettuce, wheat germ, and fortified breakfast cereals (25 percent of US RDA per ounce). If you’re pregnant, take a folic acid supplement. Women can be helped by diet and lifestyle changes in managing PMS like eating less refined sugar, drinking less caffeine, avoiding nicotine, avoiding alcohol, avoiding salt. If you follow a diet, which is heavy on dark colored vegetables, unprocessed whole grains and lean meats, you can’t go wrong. Eat sufficient protein, lots of vegetables & fruits and minimal processed carbohydrates. There’s absolutely no magic here, folks, just intelligent, planned & scheduled nutrient consumption.

Yet perhaps most appreciated by diabetics is fact that eating Profect is very convenient. It requires no cooking ability, nor creation of a messy – and potentially poorly configured – health “shake” that might actually add too much protein to system, and lead to adverse toxic buildup. The fact that Profect is convenient may seem like something of a marketing “benefit”, to be touted on a website or a package container, but reason for this has nothing to do with marketing appeal. People with diabetes, just like most of population, lead busy lives in which time is of essence. Finding 2 or 3 hours each day to create foods is oftentimes unrealistic. It is because of this need for a convenient and easily accessible food that Protica Research created 2.7 fluid ounce container to protect each serving. These containers are extremely strong, easy to carry and store, and are deliberately suited for busy, time-starved lifestyles. Dealing with diabetes is a reality that more than 18 million Americans face each day, and over next 2 decades rate of diabetes is expected to increase by almost 250% throughout developing world [vi]. Daily – one might say hourly – some of finest brains in science are searching for preventions and cures that will help millions of people diagnosed with diabetes to lead full, healthy lives. Aligned with this ultimate mission is Profect’s eating solution for diabetics and healthy eaters alike.
