Count-down the calorie chart and live longer. It is said, calorie restriction slows ageing. Researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research centre reveals the report saying, restriction in calorie by non obese person translates into less oxidative damage in muscle cells and may help them live longer. Calorie restricted diet provides nutrients for a healthy life but than it also minimizes the supply of energy.
It needs to be determined to count the calorie chart as well as the energy supplements to balance the live longer as well as energetic living.
I think the calorie intake depends upon the height, weight and gender of a person as well as age too. Food is always great to eat but that’s not the only reason why we eat. The body extracts all the nutrients that it requires as we eat and this make us survive as we develop our growth and maintain our health. The energy we require is supplied by the food we eat. And this energy value of food is measured in the units we call ‘calories.’ In normal course, piece of chocolate can have many more calories than lettuce.
Diet means taking in less calories to lose weight. However, fad dieting leads to rebounded weight. I have noticed, in many diet freaks, diets that are excessively low in calories are considered dangerous and do not result in healthful weight loss. A more desirable method of weight reduction is one that is moderate in calories and that encourages routine exercise.
Hence, a well balanced diet, nutritious and healthy eating is a way to living. Choose fresh fruits for desserts rather than cookies, cakes or fondues. It’s wise to cut on salts esp. in the evenings and well, too much of anything, leads to every disorderly eating. A better way of living is a healthy way of living – no matter how long we live.
Btw, here is an Activity chart to burn calories. It sure would be a lot helpful to check those extra cals and burn them out with the right kind of exercise. Enjoy!
