Lets Dip Into It

-

I don’t know about all of you, but I love the fall because football is on, there are sports parties with amazing food, and there are so many fun fall activities! I love watching football in the fall, especially cheering on our Buckeyes! But when it comes to watching the games, you can’t just sit there and watch them without anything to eat. My favorite dip to make for the weekend is buffalo chicken dip! I mean how can you go wrong with buffalo chicken dip? Not only does it taste amazing, but the chicken in the dip offers many benefits that some may overlook. Chicken is an easy way to get protein, offering vitamins and minerals that can help with bone growth, muscle growth and maintenance, and brain function.  If you have not tried the dip or want to try a new recipe, find one below!

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...
