real value to our health

Are you addicted to junk food?

Is fast food affecting your health?

Why do certain foods make us feel fuller for longer?

Satiety – the state of feeling full, the state of being satisfied

Can the satiety of food lead to weight gain?

Addiction to junk food

Are you aware food addiction is a real

condition?

Do you have a food addiction?

Have you ever been full but couldn’t stop eating?

Do you eat when you are not hungry?

Do you ever feel ashamed or guilty about what you have eaten?

Are you constantly thinking about food and your weight?

Do you eat alone or would you eat differently in front of someone?

Have you ever binged then purged through vomiting, laxative abuse or exercise?

Do you eat to escape feelings like sadness or depression?

Do you obsessively calculate calories

Constantly crash diet to lose weight?

Why are we addicted to Junk foods?

WHY?

Stress

Effect of stress on our body

Stressful situation

The role of insulin in weight storage

The big problem of the modern day life: stress = increasing fat cells

Insulin at work

1. Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas

2. It tells the cells to take up sugar to be turned into energy

3. Insulin tells the body to store any excess blood sugar as glycogen and fat

4. Insulin also tells your cells to stop burning fat

5. Blood sugar levels drop in response to insulin

Low blood sugar and its effect on the body

Increases cravings for sugar, chocolate & fat

Increases Appetite

Low immune system

Feeling tired

Headache

Depression

Digestive disorders

Reproductive problems

Blood sugar swings

Can’t switch off stress?

Lets Look at our food intake?

Effects of meals on blood sugar and insulin levels

Look at our food intake?

Macronutrient Breakdown

Finding the balance?

Lets look at portion size

Eating the wrong carbohydrates?

Slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates?

Refining and processing procedures

Foods that are more textures, chewy, fibrous and crunchy generally take longer to digest and release glucose into the blood stream more slowly than refined and processed foods

The amount and type of fibre is also a major factor; Soluble fibre, slows down the digestion of starches

along with the absorption of glucose into the blood stream

The ripeness of food can also affect the absorption rate (the riper a banana the greater GI)

Acidic foods help to slow the digestion of starches

Summary

Any excess weight is detrimental to health

Balancing carbohydrates and portion sizes is

vital for good health

Obesity and overweight are preventable

Rewards and Benefits

Diet related illnesses are leading contributors to death Don’t underestimate how complex the topic of obesity is- a basic

introduction is crucial Vital to be aware that dietary advice NEEDs to be tailored to individuals “one size” DOESN’T fit all

Is learning about nutrition important? You tell me?

Lack of knowledge can impact: Personal health- prevent cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and life-

debilitating conditions Hold you back professionally- unable to provide clients with up to date

nutrition information Possibility of providing dangerous, unethical advice if not fully educated!
