Food for proper metabolism

Mushrooms and loquat reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics, cherry and leek facilitate excretion of waste, and in wheat grains - ideal balance of nutrients required for energy production. About products that promote proper metabolism, we are talking about today.

Broadly speaking all the products involved in metabolism since, being eaten, they are involved in the chemical processes of the body. However, the products described in this article, are involved in metabolic processes more than others.

underweight

About losing weight many articles: There are about diet, and about exercises. We have already given detailed instructions weight gainAnd today's focus on nutrition.

1. It should provide enough calories in the form of carbohydrates. This will allow the body to digest dietary proteins to synthesize new ones. If the diet does not contain sufficient calories, proteins body uses for energy rather than to construct tissues.
2. It should provide an adequate supply of B vitamins, which are necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates and convert them into energy.
3. It must maintain the correct ratio of three nutrient sources that provide the body with energy: carbohydrates (60%), fats (30%) and proteins (10%).

Diet

Products recommended to patients with gout, must comply with two conditions:
