Food Delivery Services

-
Meal delivery services seem to be a huge trend these days, and it seems like people
keep getting busier and busier. Some days are super jam packed where it feels like
you’re moving a mile a minute. The convenience of getting food delivered right to
your door without the hassle of grocery shopping or prepping a meal is appealing to
many. There are several options to choose from, but I listed five below that are popular,
local and accommodate certain diets. 
HelloFresh: $69-$129 per week. All the food is packaged in one bag; the recipes are pretty basic
and easy to cook.
Plated: $9.95-$11.95 per meal. The portions are large so you could use for two meals.
Some of the recipes call for ingredients that aren’t included in the delivery. The recipes
were a bit complex and not really time efficient. BUT there is a large selection of meals
to choose from. 
Blue Apron: $59.94-$139.84 per week. The recipes are unique and fun. There are only
certain meals to choose from week to week, so it is limiting if you’re picky. The cost stays
lower but subbing out of season foods with something else.  
Purple Carrot: $71.94-$79.92 per week. This is primarily plant-based. The meals in the
box can be customized and there are also common allergens that are excluded in some of
the meals.
Sprinly: $109-289 per week. This is also plant based, but it is fully organic too. This is a local
Cleveland company. They also don’t require any cooking. That can be helpful for someone on
the go, but probably a con for someone who wants to cook more.

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 prev...

Child Malnutrition

New approach to childhood malnutrition may reduce relapses, deaths http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150211124024.htm               Moderate acute malnutrition is experienced by 35 million children worldwide. A new study led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has suggested that feeding children until they have met target measures of arm circumference and weight may be more important than a set 12 week feeding time. However, researchers have found that the current targets, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) may not be sufficient and raising these targets slightly could significantly reduce the risk of relapse in malnourished children; a condition that has a 37% relapse rate. The study took place in rural Malawi and was comprised of 2,349 moderately malnourished children aged 6 months to 5 years old. Children were evaluated 12 months after treatment; 1,967 rec...
