Macronutrients
Macronutrients are the three major food groups that we consume. They provide energy for the body and help maintain healthy bodily functions, structures, and hormonal balance. A zoned-in diet focuses on individual macronutrients, aiming to either increase or reduce their intake to achieve various health goals, including weight loss, weight maintenance, muscle gain, and more.
Importance Of
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates often get a bad rap, however the right kind have a proper place in our diet. Carbs are important in order to provide fuel during exercise as well as for our brain. They are also an important source of fiber-rich fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Fiber is essential for optimal gut health. Evidence shows that eating plenty of these which are low on the glycemic index, in proper balance with protein and fat, can help you control your weight.
Importance Of
Proteins
Protein is important as it is the foundation for building, repairing and maintaining muscle mass. Protein is satiating, which will make you feel fuller longer. It also has a high thermic effect as it takes 30% of the calories eaten to digest it! Protein is also the major source of eight essential amino acids the body doesn’t produce on it’s own. There are a wide variety of sources like chicken, beef, and wild-caught fish to eggs, dairy, and legumes.
Importance Of Fats
A robust body of research has revealed the wide-ranging benefits of including healthy fats in the diet. These include lowering the risk of developing heart disease, improving cholesterol levels, helping with blood sugar control and reducing inflammation. Healthful fats have a beneficial effect on blood pressure, brain function, skin and hair growth, and metabolism. The best sources of Omega 3s are olive oils, nuts, seeds, avocado, and wild caught fatty fish such as salmon.
