In the new year, many people try to take on too many changes and unobtainable goals. So, this is the year to keep it simple! Also consider keeping more positive additions to your nutrition plan vs subtractions. Some examples include: Striving for a balanced diet with sufficient protein and fiber, increasing antioxidants, eating regular meal schedule, increasing gentle movement but also allowing appropriate rest days, prioritizing healthy sleep habits and mental health care.

Did you know that nuts or natural nut butters can help reduce sweet cravings? By swapping high carb snacks for a handful of nuts, you can help reduce your sweet cravings, as well as fast food cravings. This simple swap also promoted increased intake of protein, including sources such as seafood and plant-based sources. In the study, it was also shown that the nuts naturally increased the levels of GLP-1s which aid in reducing cravings. Nuts also help with satiety and fullness which further decreases cravings and overall caloric intake. All in all, nuts can help reduce cravings due to their balanced nutrient profile high in fat, protein, and fiber which all help stabilize blood sugar.

The holiday season can leave you feeling guilty and searching for “healthier” swaps for their favorite dishes. It is important to know some of these swaps may just be labeled as “healthy." The holidays are filled with special foods, which are more than just about their nutrients. Holidays are about being spiritual and enjoying culture, memories, and connections. What about sugar-free holiday cookies vs. grandma's homemade recipe. This may seem like a good way to cut back on added sugar, but these cookies contain more processed undigestible nutrients and are still a low fiber food and may even cause more gas and bloating. And because people think sugar-free is better, they tend to eat more cookies than they normally would. And, what about fat-free substitutions in baking. Removing fat can create an issue for manufacturers because it strips the food of flavor and texture. This is why additives get thrown into the mix. Remeber fats are needed to absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K and to manufacture hormones. This holiday season focus on the bigger picture, enjoy treats in moderation and soak in the joy that comes with it! If you want help navigating the holidays, contact a registered dietitian at nutrifitga.com.

Tinned fish is a new trend that no one expected to come back around, but tinned fish has great health benefits so hop on the train and try it out, and even consider this as a healthy holiday gift! Not only does tinned fish have pretty packaging, but it also has great health benefits too. Tinned fish is high quality protein that supports muscle repair and regulates appetite. Most tinned fish is oily, so it is high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3’s are anti-inflammatory and support brain and heart health. The fish are packed with nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, iodine, and calcium depending on the type of fish. Sardines and mackerel may contain small bones that are edible; this provides calcium that supports heart and bone health. Another bright side about canned fish is you do not need to buy the expensive brands; the store's brands are similar in nutrients. It is convenient, nourishing, and cost effective. Add canned fish to bowls with grains and veggies is a great way to add protein and healthy fats. You can actually enhance the nutrients in tinned fish by paring it with foods rich in vitamin C. Whether you eat sardines, salmon, mackerel, tuna, or anchovies, each fish is packed with nutrient density to feel nourished. If you want ideas on how to incorporate more fish into your diet and how consult a registered dietitian at nutrifitga.com and check out some tinned fish products on our shopping instagram: nutrifood_pagelove.

How bad is late night eating? Truthfully, there is no set time to stop eating. Believe it or not, there may actually be benefits. For example, if you work out in the late afternoon or evening, a late-night snack can actually support muscle repair. Research has shown that having 20g of protein before bed supports protein synthesis overnight. Some people may eat a meal from 4-6pm and not go to bed until around 10pm. In this case, a small meal or snack can help prevent nighttime hunger. Going to sleep without eating can cause restlessness and make it harder to fall asleep. Eating late at night can help meet your energy needs, especially if you do not follow a traditional three meal a day schedule or have a low appetite. However, eating late at night can also worsen acid reflux because laying down too soon after eating can cause stomach acid to flow into the esophagus. When eating at night, make sure it is a balanced snack and try to be mindful and try to respond when it is a hunger based decision. If you struggle with late night eating for the wrong reasons, consider contacting a Nutrifit registered dietitian at nutrifitga.com.

Do you enjoy Ginger? Perhaps in fresh form with sushi or with a poke bowl. And now with gingerbread being popular this time of year, this is a time to consider consuming more of this herb to help with anti-inflammatory benefits.

However, ginger can cause heartburn and has blood-thinning effects. New studies indicate ginger can assist in managing blood sugar and boosting brain health. Ginger can also be found in teas, curry sauces, and baked goods. If you are taking blood thinners, use ginger cautiously and if you already experience heartburn, consider avoiding raw ginger.

Social media can be harmful to mental health, and it could be subconscious. It has been shown that when social media usage is limited for 1 week, it can decrease negative mental health thoughts and behaviors. This study shows around 300 young adults did a social media “detox” for 1 week, they reported a decrease in depression symptoms, anxiety, and insomnia but not loneliness. Overuse of social media can increase severity in these symptoms. Since there was no effect on loneliness, this may mean that interacting with others on social media can provide a sense of connection. After the study, the participating young adults were asked if they wanted to go another week and 295 agreed to this. During this time the mean screen time on social media dropped to 30 min a day.

With more than 8% of US children suffering from at least one food allergy, there are rising concerns about the quality of a child's diet. A research study done among children and adoloscents at Mt. Sinai Hospital found that although dietary quality was sufficient in those suffering from a food allergy, the dietary variety was called into question. Allergies/avoidances lead to a restricted diet which in turn leads to a lack of diet diversity. The mission for the future is to "safely expand dietary variety" in children with food allergies. Through clinical food exposure to similar families of foods, children are being medically treated to be able to tolerate allergens plus expand food choices; for example to address some nut allergies, children are exposed to pears for hazelnut allergy, turnips for walnut allergy, and apple for cashew allergy. Consider consulting a registered dietitian at nutrifitga.com to learn more allergy safe diets and check out our shopping instagram where we just posted an allergy friendly nut free bar by 88 Acres at nutrifood_pagelove and read more here https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diets-food-allergic-kids-adequate-could-use-more-variety-2025a1000x06?form=fpf

As we head into the holiday season, The American Heart Association offers some advice on how to keep Thanksgiving day healthy and balanced. Their first recommendation is not to skip breakfast, even in anticipation of a big meal later on. Another piece of advice is to plan ahead, seeing what will be offered and balancing your plate in advance. The AHA recommends fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates with fiber because fiber will make you feel satisifed faster. Also work on mindfulness such as eating slowly to notice your fullness and being able to stop when you are full. Enjoy your holiday favorites with moderation. Finally, AHA advises the inclusion of physical activity in your holiday plans. This can be as casual as an evening walk with friends and family right after the big meal. Check out a new holiday convenience side dish we have just posted on instagram at pagelove_nutrifood, a sweet potato, wild rice hash bowl and

Have you ever heard that bananas help prevent muscle cramps? Let's talk about it! Muscle cramps are very uncomfortable whether in your side, in your legs or anywhere, they are just painful. Cramps can seem sudden and out of the blue. They can last from seconds to minutes. It is really a waiting game till the cramp goes away, and in severe cases your muscle may feel sore afterwards. It has been stated that electrolytes, especially potassium, can prevent muscle cramps. Potassium is a mineral that deals with the functions of muscles. This is why bananas are claimed to help prevent muscle cramps, because they are high in potassium. Bananas are a common pre- and post-workout snack as they are easy to eat, portable and have carbohydrates for energy. Cramps come from the hyperactivity of motor neurons, which tells our muscles to contract. Potassium and sodium are electrolytes that give off electrical charge, and this charge can trigger you to move or motor neurons to fire. If that is disrupted, it can cause cramping. Most cramps are caused by overuse of muscles or dehydration. If electrolytes are not low, a banana will not fix the problem. Potassium is not just used for muscle cramps; it is good for blood pressure and heart health. If you are looking to optimize your health and use more minerals in your diet, consider contacting a registered dietitian at nutrifitga.com.

Do you experience food cravings? So what causes them? They often occur as a consequence of food restriction, when trying to lose weight or experimenting with an elimination diet. We should try to work WITH our cravings instead of against them. For example, when craving a waffle for breakfast, add healthy toppings vs avoiding. Adding protein and fiber dense toppings slow digestion, keep blood glucose level normal, and help you meet your macronutrient and micronutrient needs. The take home message here is to increase the variety in your diet by adding in more foods and food groups instead of eliminating them. Consider consulting with one of our registered dietitian or joining our weekly free virtual eating disorder support group, where we discuss these principles, contact us at nutrifitga.com for more info and read more here: https://www.today.com/health/diet-fitness/dietitian-tip-3-word-strategy-less-restriction-diet-rcna242606
