Delicious Chickpea Noodle Soup

-


With it becoming colder outside that means it is becoming soup season. I don’t know about you guys, but I hate the cold and love foods that will keep me warm. In Ohio the weather is so unpredictable and unreliable, but this soup is the complete opposite. You can rely on it to get you warm and is delicious. This soup is packed with vitamins that help with eye health, the immune system, blood clotting, and inflammation. Fiber is also found in the soup which aides in cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The chickpeas in the recipe are a great source of protein and fiber. You can customize the soup and add whatever you want to meet your dietary needs such as using gluten free or vegan noodles. Enjoy this recipe as you watch your favorite football team play on a cold Sunday and hopefully pull off a win.

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

Do you struggle with pre and post exercise nutrition?

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
