This weeks blog come to us from Dr. Louis Ignarro, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine.

“Obesity is becoming one of the leading health concerns globally, and it is starting with our children.

The Demopolis Times writes (http://www.demopolistimes.com/2010/12/29/obesity-a-supersized-problem/):

Childhood obesity is on the rise in the U.S., nearly tripling in the number of cases over the last 30 years. Studies indicate states with high numbers of overweight or obese youth also have high rates of childhood poverty with low scores in measurements of childhood wellbeing.

The epidemic of childhood obesity has even been described, by First Lady Michelle Obama, as a national security threat (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/oz-garcia/child-nutrition-act-childhood-obesity_b_799670.html).

The solution to this problem is simple: healthy meals with real nutrition and exercise. This new study from the journal Nutrition suggests that one answer to obesity could be wise breakfast choices.

Although the size of the participants breakfast varied, scientists discovered people would later consume the same amount of calories at lunch and dinner, even despite having had a larger portion in the morning. This led researchers to suggest wise breakfast choices could be key to reducing total daily calories and fighting obesity.”

We at bfitnow1 believe, as do Doctors across the board, that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Starting your day with a breakfast that does these 3 things will boost your metabolism by 43% and set you up to eat right for the rest of the day.

These are the 3 things your breakfast SHOULD provide you:

1. Provide your daily RDA

2. Provide you with 1/4 – 1/3 of your protein requirement for the day

3. Keep you within or under your daily caloric intake

These are 3 very difficult things to accomplish on a meal by meal basis. If you would like more information feel free to contact us at bfitnow.tracey@gmail.com or see our website www.lifesworkbook.com

Thank you for taking the time to take care of you,

See you next week!!!
