Many people ask me what should we eat to get a lean body. There is
lot of confusion what we should eat and what we should avoid. Let us
clear this doubt and get a healthy and an active life.
Great Protein Resources
Protein
is the building block of our body. It provides energy, builds muscles,
gives amino acids which are required by the body for various functions.
So it is essential to include 20-30 grams of protein in each meal we
eat. Protein in our meal will improve body composition, help in weight
loss and help in weight maintenance. Below are some good sources of
protein.
Whole Eggs
Whole eggs including
yolks are great sources of protein. Make sure to include yolk as it is
the healthiest part of egg and provides all the vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants. Egg yolk consists 90% of calcium, iron, zinc, B6, B12,
phosphorus, folate and panthothenic acids. It also contains all of the
fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as all of the essential
fatty acids. Make sure to choose free range organic eggs instead of
grocery store eggs. If you are forced to choose from grocery then choose
organic, free-range which are better than typical factory farmed eggs.
Wild caught Fish
Why wild caught fish?
Wild
caught fish are essentially healthier than farm fish which are fed a
grain based diet and kept in pens. Wild caught fish have significantly
higher levels of the essential fatty acid omega 3, which has powerfully
positive effects in your body. These omega-3 fatty acids help in fat
loss and build muscles. Other benefit includes healthy heart, healthier
brain and healthy joint.
Free Range chicken breasts
Why to choose free range chicken?
Most
of us know that chicken that are raised in factories are given
antibiotics and hormones to fatten up as soon as possible. Also they are
hardly free to move which is not healthy. On the other hand free range
chicken is allowed to freely move and eats natural bugs and gets proper
sun and air.
They eat more of their natural diet, including the things that keep the good fat ratios between omega 3 and omega 6.
Grass-fed meats
Choose
grass fed meats because they have more beta-carotene, vitamin E and
omega 3 fatty acids than produced using conventional cattle-feeding
strategies. Grass-fed meat has been shown to aid in fat burning and
muscle building processes.
