pIf you are confused by the plethora of nutrition information that filters into the media, please look to the American Dietetic Association as a trusted resource for answers to your questions. Members of the ADA recently convened in Chicago to learn the latest information about food and nutrition. Here#39;s what they found:/p h4a href=http://hayesjeff.typepad.com/.a/6a00e00986beda8833011168973903970c-pi style=FLOAT: rightimg alt=Curb_app_slow class=at-xid-6a00e00986beda8833011168973903970c src=http://hayesjeff.typepad.com/.a/6a00e00986beda8833011168973903970c-120wi style=MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px //a a href=http://hayesjeff.typepad.com/.a/6a00e00986beda88330111689738c4970c-pi style=FLOAT: right/a Protein/h4 pIn all tissues and organs in your body, protein is quot;turned overquot; continually, meaning that old protein is broken down and replaced by new protein. Hence, we need to eat adequate protein on a daily basis to maintain health, particularly the health of the skin, liver, brain and heart. If you don#39;t eat enough protein (as can happen with a sub-optimal vegetarian diet, a very low calorie reducing diet, or too many meatless pasta meals), you#39;ll break down your muscles (a reservoir of protein) to protect those organs./p pThe maximal effective single dose of protein to build new muscle is ~35 grams of high quality protein (milk, egg, fish, meats) at one time. While most athletes easily eat this amount--plus more--three times a day to fulfill their daily protein requirement, elderly folks may not. Hence, they become weak and frail./p pstrongemThe bottom line: /em/strongBe sure you (and your parents and grandparents) maintain your health and vitality by enjoying protein with each meal./p h4Eggs and Eyes/h4 pCarrots have long been touted as being quot;good for your eyesquot; because carrots are a rich source of carotenoids (precursors of vitamin A, needed for optimal eye function). Less well known is egg yolks are also powerful eye-health protectors. The yolk is a rich source of two potent carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants reduce by up to 40 percent the risk of macular degeneration, the leading cause in Americans of irreversible blindness that occurs with age./p pUnfortunately, in their cholesterol-consciousness, many athletes are tossing egg yolks and eating only the whites. Stop! You can healthfully enjoy the whole egg--without elevating your blood cholesterol. Numerous studies indicate consumed eggs yolks is unlikely to alter blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart diease. (1)/p pstrongemThe bottom line:/em/strong Make that omelet with whole eggs, orange peppers and spinach./p h4Organic Foods--Are They Better? /h4 pMany athletes debate whether or not they should buy organic foods. In terms of nutritional value, studies in the U.S. suggest no significant differences, but studies in Europe report higher amounts of nutrients, including antioxidants. Eating a larger portion of conventionally grown produce can resolve any potential differences.br /br /The bigger issue relates to protecting the soil and limiting water pollution from pesticides and fertilizers that seep into the ground. For those reasons, buying organic produce is a smart choice, particularly if it is locally grown, uses less fuel to be transported, and supports local farmers. If you debate whether or not to buy organic milk, note that quot;organicquot; refers to farming practices, not to the milk itself. According to the research presented by Gary Rogers, PhD, there is no difference between organic and conventional milk in terms of nutrition, antibiotics and hormone content. Strict government guidelines ensure that both organic and conventional milk are safe and nutritious./p pstrongemThe bottom line:/em/strong Whenever possible, buy milk and produce from local farmers.br //p h4Simple Strategy for Eating Better/h4 pIf you want to improve the quality of your diet, think about one thing you could do each day to contribute to a healthier intake. Write down your goal for the day, then assess your level of confidence in achieving that goal. For example, your goal might be to eat fruit with lunch. If you are very confident you can do that, go for it. But if you are not at all confident, take a look at the barriers, and perhaps figure out another way to boost your fruit intake. Banana on cereal for breakfast?#0160; Fruit smoothie for a post-exercise recovery drink? /p pstrongemThe bottom line: /em/strongSet yourself up for success by developing sustainable eating habits. Stop making resolutions--dietary quot;shouldsquot;--that repeatedly fail./p

And plain water took the podium as the perfect sports drink? Thanks to new insights on how our bodies process fluids and other nutrients while we#39;re working up a sweat, the conventional wisdom on when and what to drink is evolving. And although the rules may have changed, the objective remains the same: improved performance and optimal health. Here#39;s a look at the old and new views on hydration. /p pstrongOld: Drink ahead of your thirst.br /New: Drink according to your thirst./strong strong/strong/p pFor years, sports nutrition experts advised athletes to drink quot;ahead of thirst,quot; that is, to drink before getting thirsty and more frequently than what thirst dictated during exercise. Experts warned that by the time you feel thirsty, you#39;ve already become dehydrated. However, recent studies show that being in this state of slight dehydration has no negative impact on performance or health. /p pquot;The idea that thirst comes too late is a marketing ploy of the sports-drink industry,quot; says Tim Noakes, M.D., a professor of sport and exercise science at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. While thirst is not a perfect indicator of hydration status, it does appear to be a good indicator of the optimal drinking rate during exercise, according to Noakes. quot;The answer is just drink as your thirst dictates.quot; /p pstrong pOld: Aim to completely prevent dehydration.br /New: Aim to slow dehydration. /p/strong/p pYou#39;ve probably been told to drink enough fluid during exercise to completely make up for what you lose through sweat. In other words, the goal is to weigh the same before and after your workout. But the latest research has revealed#0160;problems with this advice. /p pThe recommendation to drink enough fluid to prevent weight-loss is based on the false assumption that all the weight lost is from body fluid evaporating as sweat. However, recent studies show that a significant amount (as much as 60 percent) is actually due to the loss of water stored with fat and carbohydrate molecules, which is released from the muscles when these stores are converted to energy.#0160;So,#0160;instead of drinking to completely replace the fluid you sweat out during exercise, aim for keeping thirst at bay. Respond to your thirst right away with small amounts of sports drink, but don#39;t allow your thirst to build to the point that you#39;re forced to guzzle down a full bottle at one time. Taking a few sips about every 10 to 12 minutes will help you stay hydrated and avoid stomach upset. /p pstrongOld: Use either a sports drink or water for hydration.br /New: Use a sports drink instead of water./strong /p pPrior to 2003, USA Track amp; Field#39;s hydration guidelines#0160;suggested that water and sports drinks were equally good choices for hydration during intense physical activity. But, based on new research concerning the risks of blood sodium dilution, the USATF revised its hydration guidelines stating, quot;A sports drink with sodium and other electrolytes is preferred.quot; Athletes in other sports are now following these guidelines as well. /p pIn short, sports drinks simply hydrate better than water does. Your body absorbs fluids through the gut and into the bloodstream faster when their osmolality, the concentration of dissolved particles in a fluid, more closely matches the osmolality of body fluids such as blood. Because a sports drink contains dissolved minerals (key electrolytes such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphate) and carbohydrates, it#39;s absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly than water, which has fewer or no dissolved particles. /p pWater is fine for short (less than an hour) workouts of easy to moderate intensity in which you don#39;t sweat a lot. But in any workout where sweat losses are substantial, and especially in warm weather, use a sports drink. /p pstrong p/p/strong#0160;/p pstrongOld: Caffeine exacerbates dehydration.br /New: Caffeine does not affect dehydration. /strong/p br / pCaffeine is a known diuretic, which means it increases urine production and has a dehydrating effect. But research has also shown that during exercise, the body is able to circumvent the diuretic influence of caffeine, which can boost athletic performance by stimulating the nervous system and reducing perceived effort. /p pA new study conducted at the University of Birmingham in England found that caffeine increases the rate at which supplemental carbohydrates (those consumed during the workout as opposed to those already stored in the body) are burned during exercise. In the study, cyclists received either a 6 percent glucose solution or a six percent glucose solution plus caffeine during a two-hour indoor cycling test.#0160;The rate at which the supplemental carbs were burned was 26 percent higher in the cyclists receiving carbs with caffeine, concluding that the caffeine may have increased the rate of glucose absorption in the intestine. By providing fuel to working muscles at an accelerated rate, caffeine helps athletes work harder for longer periods of time. /p pBut don#39;t overuse it. Reserve caffeine consumption for races and occasional high-intensity workouts. quot;The best use of caffeine as an ergogenic aid [energy booster] is prior to competition,quot; says Jose Antonio, Ph.D, author of emSupplements for Endurance Athletes/em. quot;The beneficial effects of caffeine on athletic performance are reduced with habituation, so the more often you rely on it, the less it will do for you.quot; /p pAlthough no major sports drink brand contains caffeine, some flavors of sports gels do, such as Gu Chocolate Outrage, Strawberry Clif Shot, and Chocolate Accel Gel. /p pstrong pThe Cardinal Rule /p/strong/p pOne principle of proper hydration hasn#39;t changed: Practice makes perfect. Experiment with various hydration strategies to learn what works best for you. Try different sports drinks in varying amounts, and hydrate at different times during your workout to discover the optimal mix. /p pem pSo, thoughts on this new#0160;hydration research anyone? What do you#0160;drink during your#0160;workouts and why?#0160;/p/em/p

Dr. Sears says it all here.../p pstrongemquot;There is no guilt in the Zone. If you have a bad meal, just make sure that your next meal is squarely in the Zone. No one is perfect, nor should anyone ever become obsessive regarding the preparation of Zone meals. Even if you are perfect (with your meals), I strongly recommend eating a large carbohydrate meal (pasta, Mexican food, etc.) at least once a month, just so you can feel miserable the next day. You will be bloated, fatigued, mentally foggy...what you are suffering from is an insulin hangover. The reason why I recommend such torture once a month is to reinforce how powerful food can be, and that only one hormonally incorrect meal can send you directly to carbohydrate hell. It#39;s okay because your next meal will take you back into the Zone. Some of us just need some powerful reinforcement from time to time to reaffirm how we want to spend the rest of our lives.quot;/em/strong /p
