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.

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...
