The Ingredient Knowledge


Nutrition and food are always an interesting topic because they always change. Well, they don't really change a lot - meat is meat, vegetables are vegetables, fruit is fruit, and so on. 

However...

Folks continue to need assistance with the foods they eat. Understandably so. Some of the information confuses people. So, ask yourself:

1) Do you know how to read ingredients?

2) Do you consume and cook the right ingredients?

Here's a third and figurative question:

3) What ingredients do you need for your daily lifestyle?


Let's return to food:

You should know the effects or awareness of the following ingredients and content...

% fiber

Saturated fat content

Sugar grams

Protein grams

Serving size

Vitamins - because you may think an item satisfies a particular vitamin, when, in fact, it does not.

100% wheat flour/Non-enriched flour

100% juice

Questions to ask yourself:

Where does most of the sugar come from? Sometimes, other fruit ingredients.

Is it artificial flavoring? Maybe.

If the item is low in fat or no fat and low or no sugar, then what's that taste? Sweetener.

How is this food item sweet but has no sugar? It's third partner arises: cholesterol.

What are all of these chemistry class looking ingredients? Have to Google this one because there are some interesting ones.

As far as cooking is concerned, I am not Chef D; but I do dabble in mixing foods and juices from foods to make good flavors. Of course, I use my many seasonings.

As far as daily ingredients, the figurative standpoint, the good ingredients - exercise, prayer, sleep, and more - that you put into daily life can give you solid results. Bad ingredients - drugs, smoking, alcohol, unhealthy foods, and more - give you poorer results.

What ingredients do you follow closely?

Much success to you | Derek | @teemptraining | derekteempt@gmail.com
