A few word about nutrition:

Food and nutrition is exchange of material and energy between the environment and organisms that populate it.

Again there is a real need for balance to maintain a state of psychological well-being generally.

There are scientific evidence of the relationship between diet / nutrition and health: is preferred a more varied diet, low in animal fats, rich in fruits and vegetables, cereals and vegetables, and limit consumption of red meat and cheese of salt and simple sugars.

The attainment of metabolic fitness through energy balance, proper nutrition and physical activity reduces the risk of many diseases linked to modern lifestyle, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, some forms of cancer, obesity and cardiovascular disease, and forms an integral part of therapeutic strategy.

Nutrition and physical activity interact in a harmonious and are the two most important factors that contribute to fitness metabolic (welfare or metabolic homeostasis) and health, interacting with the genetic quality of individuals. In fact nowadays, lacks the capacity to man, to sense the correct amount of food to ingest and expcially the ability to assess the quality of ingested food.

Wheight loss

Sometimes losing weight seems very intuitive, but actually proves to be anything but. Most people are convinced that to lose weight and stay lean, just eat less and do more physical activity as possible, almost like an elementary mathematical equation. Actually it is not so simple, I'll try to summarize in a few words, as simple as possible, an operation actually very complex, eating too little, lowered metabolism and if we train too much, we fall into the trap of overtraining latent, which as a consequence, tends to stimulate the body to overproduce an hormone called cortisol, which besides having a role in anti-inflammatory, increases body fat and diminishes the muscle , the exact opposite of what we seek.

It has been shown that in some people, the overtraining do are already with just 3 workouts a week, and clearly that always depends on the state of preparation of the individual and the intensity of training. All this is evidently perceive that the person desirous of achieving a success in weight loss, is forced to turn into a professional expert in the field.

Method proposed

BIA(hand)

(-)The other well known, and convenient method is the scales or the handled devices (used at a lot of franchised gyms). These tools utilize Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), the scale sends a current through your limbs, working on the concept that lean tissue and water conduct electricity better than fat does.

Anthropometric measurements

The term anthropometric refers to comparative measurements of the body. Anthropometric measurements are used in nutritional assessments. Those that are used to assess growth and development in infants, children, and adolescents include length, height, weight, weight-for-length, and head circumference (length is used in infants and toddlers, rather than height, because they are unable to stand). Individual measurements are usually compared to reference standards on a growth chart.

Anthropometric measurements used for adults usually include height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, and percentage of body fat. These measures are then compared to reference standards to assess weight status and the risk for various diseases. Anthropometric measurements require precise measuring techniques to be valid.
