How Can you Celebrate President's Day?

-
It is important to celebrate our history and what better way than President’s Day than to have some of our presidents' favorite food? Over the last 233 years, the white house has served each president their random selection of what they considered their comfort food. Here is a rundown of some of my favorite president's food habits. George Washington According to family members and employees at the White House, our very first president loved Hoecakes drowned in honey and butter. He would eat them every morning and cherries. Turns out he is a very simplistic man. Theodore Roosevelt He was very fond of Fried Chicken with white gravy as his mom would make it best. You can never go wrong with mom’s cooking! John F. Kennedy If you like seafood, you would definitely get along with our 35th Commander-in-Chief. It was told that he had an extraordinarily little appetite and would forget to eat, but when he did, he would go for Clam chowder or potatoes. This makes sense since he was born and raised in New England. Ronald Reagan Probably was not the healthiest of habits but he would eat lots of jellybeans during his term as president. This was to help him attempt to quit using tobacco products. When he celebrated his inauguration in 1981, he treated his guests to 3 ½ tons of red, white, and blue Jellybeans! -A.

Are All Sugars Created Equal?  I think one of the most confusing nutrition topics for people is sugar. With so many conflicting stories out there, it’s difficult to separate the facts from the fiction. Not to mention, the types of sugars are endless. How do we know what’s best for our bodies? White or brown sugar? Cane or raw? Should we just go with Stevia instead? Is it even okay to consume artificial sweeteners? Should we avoid foods with high amounts of natural sugar in them? Each answer only seems to lead to another question!  Let’s start off with distinguishing the purpose of sugar in the first place. Do our bodies even need it? The short answer is yes! Sugars are carbohydrates (what we commonly call “carbs”), one of the three main macronutrients that our bodies need for fuel to function and survive. One of the major ways to categorize sugar is by separating the “natural” sugars from the “added” sugars. Natural sugars are, well, naturally found in foods. They give us the energy th

What should i eat before and after a workout? First things first…carbohydrates, proteins and fats are important for the body before  and after exercise. Exercising muscle preferentially uses carbohydrates from stored glycogen, but fats are also an important fuel source for energy production during exercise. Fats and carbohydrates are the two major fuel sources during exercise. Fats must be translocated and broken down from their storage form before they are used. Typically there is enough carbohydrate stored as muscle glycogen for exercise but as muscle glycogen stores decline, the skeletal muscle will then use some amino acids (basic components of all protein). More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress. It is also important to consume enough fluids to prevent hypohydration. Now, lets talk about pre-exercise me
