Omega 3 fatty acids

22. October 202623. February 2021 by Viptamin

Guidance for choosing a product

Omega-3 is a collective term. ALA, EPA and DHA differ in their sources and how the body uses them. Understanding these differences helps when assessing foods and supplements.

Three important omega-3 fatty acids

ALA is found mainly in plant oils, nuts and seeds. EPA and DHA come predominantly from marine sources or algae. The body can convert ALA, but only to a limited extent.

Food first

Oily fish, certain algal products, walnuts, linseed and rapeseed oil can contribute to intake. A supplement may be useful when the diet does not reliably provide the desired amount.

How to read the label

Look for separate amounts of EPA and DHA per daily serving. A high total amount of fish oil alone says little. Transparent products also identify the raw-material source, capsule material and other ingredients.

Consider your individual circumstances

Needs and tolerance vary between individuals. Discuss supplementation with a healthcare professional if you have a medical condition or take medicines regularly.

Note on use

Food supplements do not replace a balanced diet. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicines regularly.

Eat strong: These foods will give you more power.

You really don’t need supplements to stay healthy and strong.
If you eat a balanced diet of healthy foods, you won’t need any additional resources.

Nine foods for 130 % more mental strength

You can meet your daily calorie needs through fast food, of course. Fast food provides you with carbohydrates that are quickly processed by the body, providing glucose quickly. If you ever find yourself in a “thinking slump” and need a quick energy boost for your brain, “fast” carbohydrates can help.

In the long run, however, you should treat your brain to better things, namely minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium or phosphorus. Plus vitamins B, E and C as well as secondary plant compounds and omega-3 fatty acids to keep you mentally fit.

Such a balanced diet increases – compared to fast food – your mental performance by over 130%.

The nine foods that will make you more mentally efficient are:

Carrots
Millet
Pears
Nuts
Quark
Cottage cheese
Fat fish
beetroot
Linseed oil

Twelve foods for maximum Muscle power and energy

Rice
Quinoa
Cereal
Eggs

fat and
Protein
are the be-all and end-all as an energy source for your muscles. The body absorbs the proteins and fats more slowly and thus the energy lasts longer. Refrain from further meals for the next 2 hours, otherwise your body will be too busy digesting during exercise and will not be able to perform optimally.

2 hours after exercise, you should eat foods that support the regeneration of the body and muscles. Now you can have a few carbohydrates in addition to proteins, which are quickly converted into energy. These include: Rice, quinoa, cereals, eggs.

Such a diet can increase muscle performance by up to 8%. Building muscle is an important issue for everyone at any age. Everyone needs strong muscles to get through everyday life upright. Especially for older people muscle building is an important topic. This is because muscle mass slowly decreases due to hormonal changes in the second half of life.

For muscles to grow, they need protein. Because the amino acids contained in protein are the building material that make up your muscles. The right combination of protein and carbohydrates contributes significantly to muscle growth and also increases the body’s ability to recover after exercise.

Delicious protein-carbohydrate combinations include: Wholemeal bread with cottage cheese, potatoes with egg, potatoes with cottage cheese, rice with chicken breast, salmon with rice and soy shake with fruit or other protein shakes.

Protein, age and our immune system

15. June 202623. February 2021 by Viptamin

Protein, age and our immune system

As we age, our nutritional needs change: We need a quarter fewer calories, but even more protein than when we were younger. After the age of 50, we lose an average of one to two percent of our muscle mass – every year.

In addition, since the appetite decreases, it makes sense to take a protein powder of the best quality – because you have to take much less of it than of powders of mediocre quality. Not only that: With protein and some strength training, you can build muscle again, even reset your genes to young a bit.

But protein is also indispensable for the immune system: All immunocompetent cells – i.e. those that contribute to the immune system – consist of protein. This means that when protein levels are low, immune cells are also low. An adequate amount of protein in the blood is therefore a condition for a functioning immune system. Why exactly this is so and what else we can do for our immune system, you can find out here.

More protein record

Only a century ago, electricity from the socket and the spread of cars were not a matter of course. Therefore, the average person at that time consumed 4000-6000 calories. Proteins were involuntarily consumed in the amount of food in greater quantities than today. Meanwhile, the need for calories has been reduced to less than half, so that, as a rule, less protein is supplied. This problem can be solved by eating fewer carbohydrate-rich side dishes and choosing more protein-containing foods instead. Unlike carbohydrates, proteins are essential for life. Easier than getting the protein you need through food is to supplement protein.
Many people use protein shakes to lose weight, but they can also help the immune system.

What else can you do for your immune system?

In addition, it is necessary to “ventilate” immunocompetent cells, which is achieved with mild endurance exercise, which significantly increases the immune response. As I’m sure you know, that’s not the only way endurance exercise is good for you – so put on your running shoes or hop on your bike.

It is also important that the amount of the stress hormone cortisol is not increased. Excessive stress hinders immune processes. This is also evident in the fact that organ transplant patients have to take cortisone preparations in order to suppress rejection reactions by the immune system against the foreign organ. If the organ comes from an identical twin, however, this is not necessary. In all other cases it is necessary to lower the immune system with medication. Cortisol is the most potent catabolic hormone, so its amount should be limited. This can be achieved with meditation, relaxation exercises and mild endurance sports.

It should also not be neglected that the immune system is closely associated with the intestine or a healthy intestinal flora. There are more bacteria in the intestine than cells in the entire body. A disturbed intestinal flora often leads to food intolerances, allergies, the so-called leaky gut syndrome, neurodermatitis and other problems. In orthodox medicine, however, the physiological intestinal flora is hardly considered. Although colonoscopies are performed, these do not allow the intestinal flora to be viewed or analyzed.

Moderate endurance sports and a healthy serenity in everyday life help the immune system a lot. If you want to do even more, a good protein powder is a fantastic idea – because our immune system is made of protein. Only when the amount of protein in the body is sufficient, your immune system can function.

Build up immune system

15. June 202623. February 2021 by Viptamin

Build up immune system

Our immune system is the most important factor when it comes to staying healthy.

How well your immune system functions determines whether the invasion of viruses, bacteria and other foreign bodies into your body leads to an infection, or whether you remain healthy. In addition, the immune system has many other functions – but that would go beyond the scope of this article.
In this post, you’ll learn why the immune system is so important, roughly how it works, and what you can do to build your immune system efficiently and sustainably.

The best defense we have

So taking care of a good immune system is always a good idea. Of course, a well-built immune system is particularly useful and helpful during the flu season or when the common cold is making its rounds again – because with a good immune system you protect yourself and your environment. But how exactly does it work?

A highly complex system - easy to grasp

Immune system is a gigantic term – for a system whose functioning is so sophisticated and complex that we still have not fully understood it. We do know quite a bit about the structure, though:

Certain parts of the body function the way they do to keep foreign bodies out from the start. If this does not succeed, there are many different cells that can become active in our body in order to render the intruder harmless in the most diverse ways – and even the things that we understand as “being ill” are ultimately often only reactions triggered by our immune system.

In depth, it’s quite elaborate. What we can do to get the immune system up to speed, however, is ultimately very simple because of one important fact:

1.5 kilos of protein as an engine, vitamins as fuel

The part of the immune system that we can influence – namely the functioning of all these cells that are involved in the smooth running of an immune response – have something in common. In very simplified terms, it is 1.5 kilograms of protein flowing through our bloodstream. How well or poorly we supply the body with protein determines the extent to which granulocytes, macrophages, helper cells and all the other cells that are part of the immune system are present in sufficient quantities.

But that’s not all. These cells need vitamins, minerals (e.g. zinc) and trace elements (e.g. selenium) to function. These vitamins in turn need other vitamins and excipients to function properly.

So our goal is to provide our bodies with enough protein and vitamins to give the immune system the strength it needs.
This works through nutrition – and thus provides for the basic needs of most people. If you prefer to play it safe, we have a better idea: our immune package ensures normal functioning of the immune system.
