Glycemic Index. It is actually all about proportion. There is a good rule to follow. This rule is to balance what your body needs and is called the 3:2:1 ratio. The three is the proportion for carbs. You will have to put carbs on half of the plate. The two is for fats; 2/6 of the plate. Fats come in three types; Mono un-Saturated fats, Poly un-saturated fats, and saturated fats.
Saturated fats are the ones that you want to stay away from, mainly because they are high on the Glycemic Index. Mono unsaturated fats are mainly oils and aren’t the best for you, but it helps your body with vitamins and minerals. Poly un-saturated fats are mainly legumes. They are filled with vitamins and minerals that your body craves. A list of all the minerals you need to survive is a good thing to consider. Vitamins; A,D,E and K are fat soluble and more needed. C and B complex are water soluble, so not as great. Minerals; Calcium (for bones), Iron (helps oxygen and digestion), Magnesium (for body production and growth), Zinc (for immune system and break down carbs), Selenium (kills bad cells), Potassium (regulates fluid levels; electrolytes).
The one is for proteins; 1/6 of the plate. Protein is another thing you have to go in deeper to have it healthy. You have to look to see if it is Lean or Non-lean. You can tell by what you are eating. Vegetables can never go wrong. Meat can come in Lean, so always go for Lean meat when you buy. Fruit is commonly Lean, but they are filled with sugar (high on the Glycemic Index, so consider the first step before eating). Dairy is also Lean. So with these proportions, you can make your plate. But one last thing to consider is your animals; the less legs the better. Cows are good, but chickens are better. Chickens are good but fish are better. Sea food is always a great piece to have (but remember to cook).
I have never taken what I ate seriously. Once I learned about all of this, I took it seriously and watched what I ate. I actually lost some weight and felt skinny for the first time. If you take this seriously, you’ll be skinnier and most likely live longer.
A lot of those who would stick around to read this are likely overweight. A good thing to consider is to exercise daily along with the good meals. But, there is also a right way to exercise easily so that you could work into the harder stuff. These workouts are to fit into everyday life so that the tasks you do are simpler. The first thing you should practice is a squat. It will help you for later movements and help your back later in life. To do a squat, you have to have a squat stance. Every movement is based on its structure. And like any structure, it needs a good base.
This stance starts with your feet under your shoulders. It is a bit larger than an athletic stance which is received by jumping three times or by putting the feet directly under your hips. Once you have the feet in place, you’re going to want to point them slightly out, about ten degrees. This improves the base and the next step. It isn’t something you do to set up, but it is something you will do actively during the squat. You will have to keep your weight on your heels at all time. This will keep you from falling over during the squat.
