What is Weight Maintenance?

<p>What does it mean to be in the weight maintenance phase?</p>
<p>We hear so much about weight loss and weight gain — whether it’s how to do it or when to do it, it seems like everyone is talking about it. But what about weight maintenance?</p>
<p>We’ve all had our bouts of desire to change our body in one way or another, but there’s something to be said about the idea of being content with where we are. It’s time to shine a light on the beauty of weight maintenance and why it’s a great phase to be in.</p>
<h3>What is Weight Maintenance?</h3>
<p>Surprisingly enough, there is no official definition of weight maintenance (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16302013" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1</a>). For our purposes, when we say weight maintenance, we essentially mean the act of abstaining from significant weight change — whether that be an <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/underweight-nutrition-tips-gaining-weight/">increase</a> or a decrease.</p>
<p>For some, weight maintenance is something you have been doing for your entire life. If your weight has remained consistent for as long as you can remember, this is you. On the other hand, you can also maintain your weight after having experienced substantial fluctuation.</p>
<p>Realistically, maintenance isn’t staying at the exact same number for the rest of our lives. I so often hear from clients that they’re concerned and upset after realizing they’ve gained two or even five pounds overnight.</p>
<p>While our bodies are pretty capable, they aren’t quite capable enough to create that much adipose tissue in less than a day. From our many phases of <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/internal_promo/hello-healthy-gut/">digestion</a> to our fluctuating hormone levels, our bodies are constantly shifting and changing. As these processes take place throughout the many stages of our lives, sometimes our weight will reflect them as well.</p>
<p>Say we do gain a pound here or there, does that automatically mean we’re out of the weight maintenance phase? Not quite. We’re human, and as such our weight, of course, is going to fluctuate slightly in one direction or another. The point is when we’re maintaining our weight we aren’t experiencing significant change, but a slight change is to be expected.</p>
<h4>Reaching Weight Maintenance</h4>
<p>Sometimes it’s difficult for us to stop and realize that we really are in a good place, we don’t need to make any significant change. When it comes down to it, it’s all about how you feel and how your body is serving you. Once you reach a healthy, <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/one-reason-youre-not-happy-weight/">happy weight</a> for you, you’re in the weight maintenance phase.</p>
<p>That’s definitely easier said than done for quite a few people. It’s so easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of social media and societal norms, no wonder we have trouble just being happy where we are. If this is something you think you struggle with, you can check out our article on <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/advice-healthy-body-image/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">body image</a> for some tips to consider.</p>
<h3>What is a Healthy Weight?</h3>
<p>Possibly the most common question of all, there are so many different ways to address it. I usually consider five components before answering a client — metabolism, lean body mass, weight history, BMI and body fat percentage.</p>
<p>When we look at weight purely from a medical standpoint, the ratio of lean body mass to body fat is one of the more important components of body composition. With that being said, the recommended ranges vary greatly depending on both gender and age, and sometimes an accurate body composition measurement is hard to come by.</p>
<p>Because of this, when considering body composition it’s important for you to work with your doctor and a <a href="http://nutritionstripped.com/services">registered dietitian</a> to determine what is best for you.</p>
<p>Everyone’s body is different, no one person’s “healthy weight” is applicable to another. How you feel, how you use your body and how you fuel your body all need to be considered when determining what a healthy weight is for you.</p>
<h4>The BMI Guidelines</h4>
<p>I want to preface this by saying in my opinion, the BMI system is less than perfect. Your BMI is simply a ratio of your height to your weight. Because of this, it fails to take your lean body mass, percent body fat and even genetics into account. More often than not I find myself explaining to clients that it’s not the be-all end-all indicator of health.</p>
<p>With that being said, according to the <a href="https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmi-m.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BMI</a> guidelines, anyone with a score under 18.5 is considered to be “underweight”, while anyone between 24.9 and 29.9  is considered to be “overweight”. Now does that mean everyone outside of this range should be striving to get within it? Absolutely not. The same goes for the opposing side — just because you’re within the “normal” range does not necessarily mean you are the epitome of health, there is so much more to consider.</p>
<p>If you find yourself on the higher or lower end of the BMI guidelines, there are a couple of things to think about before jumping to conclusions. What I mean is, if for example your whole life you have been exceptionally active and had a clean bill of health, yet you are consistently trending on the slightly higher end of the BMI scale, chances are it’s perfectly fine — it’s normal for you.</p>
<p>This is where weight history comes into play. If your weight has <em>always</em> been on the slightly higher or lower end of the BMI scale, the fact that you are outside of the “normal” range wouldn’t be cause for concern. You can always use your BMI charts from your PCP to take a look and see where you’ve been trending. Moral of the story, it’s just a guideline.</p>

<h3>Maintaining Your Weight</h3>
<p>Now that we’ve discussed what weight maintenance is, let’s discuss how to do it. When you’re steadily losing or gaining weight and finally find your sweet spot — what do you do once you get there? Everyone’s journey to weight maintenance is completely different. The important part is understanding your journey and knowing what it took to get you where you ended up.</p>
<h4>Stress and Maintenance</h4>
<p>Stress plays such a big role in all of our daily actions and choices. While we need stress for many reasons (check out our article on <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/how-to-manage-stress/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">stress management</a> to learn more about this), excessive, chronic stress tends to do much more harm than good. This kind of stress leads to the release of a little too much cortisol, which can actually start to mess with our hunger cues.</p>
<p>Not exactly ideal for weight maintenance, right? Essentially, I’m telling you all of this to explain just how important it is to keep stress under control when trying to maintain your weight. Stress management isn’t a frivolous, vain activity, it’s completely necessary for your health and wellbeing.</p>
<p><a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/stress-relief/">Stress</a> management can be anything you want it to be — from journaling to marathon running, whatever does it for you! If you haven’t already done so, take some time to find a hobby or activity that takes your mind off of your major stressors.</p>
<h4>Habits, Motivation, and Maintenance</h4>
<p>The habits you formed to get you to your healthy weight are the same habits that will keep you there. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a new client come to me having reached their healthy weight only to see it slip away soon after. If you started to add more vegetables and fiber into your diet, keep it up! If you started spinning on Monday mornings and taking Pilates on Wednesdays, don’t stop now!</p>
<p>Once you’ve reached your healthy weight, it’s so easy to lose focus or motivation. Once your goal is attained, what’s going to keep you motivated? This is the point where you really have to stop and think. Think about the why, the how — all the hard work you put in. What made you pursue this goal in the first place? The why is what you used to get there and it’s what you’ll use to stay there.</p>
<h4>Relationship with Food</h4>
<p>As our lives change and evolve, many times our relationship with food does the same. When we’re excited and feeling great, unhappy and down in the dumps, more often than not food is tied in there somehow. Knowing yourself and your relationship with food can be the key you need to stay right where you want to.</p>
<p>Take the time to get to know yourself and your relationship with food. Does your mood impact your eating habits? Do you ever look to food for comfort? Knowing how your mind and emotions contribute to your eating habits can help you to navigate your diet when life throws you for a loop.</p>
<h3>Takeaway Point</h3>
<p>Your experience with weight maintenance is completely individual to you. Whether you’re an old pro or new to the game, the weight maintenance phase is a beautiful place to be. Not only is it freeing to fully accept yourself and realize that you’re at a perfectly healthy weight for you, but it can sometimes show that all of your hard work thus far has truly paid off.</p>

12 Mistakes to Avoid After Finishing a Colon Cleanse

<p>You just finished a cleanse and have taken an essential step toward becoming a healthier version of yourself, so congratulations! And, now, the only thing you’re planning post-cleanse is how you’ll indulge, right?</p>
<h2><strong>Whoa, not so fast!</strong></h2>
<p>You won’t keep your post-detox glow by returning to your old ways and jumping back into a diet filled with dense, fried, gluten-rich fatty foods. “Breaking a cleanse correctly is almost as important as the cleanse itself,” says <a href="https://www.gaiam.com/blogs/discover/post-detox-dilemma-breaking-the-cleanse">holistic chef Adina Niemerow</a>.</p>
<p>She goes on to explain that it’s important to end your detox gradually, slowly incorporating healthy foods back into your diet: “It might sound like the cleanse after the cleanse, but it’s important if you want to maintain those detox benefits,” she says.</p>
<p>Just as you carefully prepared for your cleanse and successfully completed it, finishing a <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/fiber-cleanse-capsules-natural.html">natural colon cleanse</a> and embracing the new, healthier, stronger, more vibrant version of you requires even more work. You have an excellent opportunity to not slip back into any bad habits. Here you will learn what to avoid after your cleanse.</p>
<h2><strong>Mistakes to Avoid</strong></h2>
<p><strong><em>Coming off the cleanse too quickly<br /></em></strong>As a rule of thumb, you should try to <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-9863/doing-a-cleanse-dont-forget-these-10-essential-tips.html">take twice as many days to come out of the cleanse</a> as you were on the cleanse. This will ensure that you don’t hurt your new, highly absorbable, digestive system.</p>
<p><strong><em>Not hydrating enough</em></strong><br />
By <a href="https://www.byrdie.com/what-to-do-after-a-cleanse">drinking 16 ounces of lemon water each morning</a>, you have an easy and effective detoxification strategy to incorporate into your daily routine. For starters, your body needs water for proper hydration. When you add lemon, you boost water’s detoxifying properties. Lemons are a natural detoxifier, and they help stimulate your liver’s natural enzymes, helping your body flush out toxins.</p>
<p><strong><em>Not taking digestive enzymes or a probiotic</em></strong><br />
It’s essential that the beneficial bacteria in our gut are allowed to function to provide optimal digestive health. Through the use of antibiotics, consumption of toxic-laden foods, not to mention chronic overeating, we essentially destroy the friendly bacteria in our gut. It’s recommended that you take a high-count probiotic supplement to restore the proper internal balance. Digestive <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/professional-strength-probiotics.html">supplements from the Hallelujah Diet®</a> promote complete digestive health. These should be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.</p>
<p><img alt="colorful selection of produce" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32406" height="323" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/colorful-selection-of-produce.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/colorful-selection-of-produce.jpg 500w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/colorful-selection-of-produce-300x194.jpg 300w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/colorful-selection-of-produce-125x81.jpg 125w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/colorful-selection-of-produce-75x48.jpg 75w" width="500" /></p>
<p><strong><em>Not seeking out fruits and vegetables<br /></em></strong><a href="https://www.livestrong.com/article/247378-the-best-fruits-vegetables-for-cleansing/">Many fruits and vegetables are beneficial</a> for cleansing your digestive system. The most effective vegetables are those from the cruciferous family—big, leafy greens. These include broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, bok choy, cauliflower, collard greens, horseradish, and watercress. Brightly colored fruits tend to have high amounts of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, while others are high in fiber and micronutrients.</p>
<p><strong><em>Not eating the best foods with which to break your cleanse<br /></em></strong><a href="https://www.gaiam.com/blogs/discover/post-detox-dilemma-breaking-the-cleanse">Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman says</a>, “I always find it helpful to break a cleanse with easy-to-digest foods.” These can include steamed or puréed vegetables or lightly sautéed greens, as well as proteins such as nuts, legumes, tofu, or seeds. It is best to eat in this manner for the three days following your last day of juice cleansing.</p>
<p><strong><em>Going back to the Standard American Diet (SAD)<br /></em></strong>Meat, in particular, is <a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/health-news/why-do-i-feel-awful-when-i-stop-eating-meat">loaded with toxic substances</a>: antibiotics, growth hormones, accumulated poisons imbedded in artery-clogging fat, and more. If you plan to re-introduce meat into your diet, holistic chef Adina Niemerow recommends doing so slowly. Start with organic poultry rather than beef or fish, which can contain mercury. Or don’t add it back at all.</p>
<p><strong><em>Too rapidly increasing meal sizes</em></strong><br />
The most effective way to <a href="https://www.byrdie.com/what-to-do-after-a-cleanse">prevent bingeing after a cleanse</a> is to ensure that you eat or drink every three hours. Snacks and meals should include both a protein and a healthy fat; both of which will help keep you satiated for longer periods.</p>
<p><strong><em>Too quickly going back to consuming alcohol and coffee</em></strong><br />
While <a href="https://www.livestrong.com/article/314687-how-does-wine-affect-a-detox-diet/">alcohol is considered toxic</a> and removed from your body during a cleanse, organic coffee has numerous health benefits and can <a href="https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/blogs/news/cut-back-on-coffee-cleanse">gradually be reintroduced into your diet</a>.</p>
<p><strong><em>Not exercising</em></strong><br />
It is not easy to ignore the <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-benefits-of-exercise">many benefits of exercising</a>. Gentle walks or yoga are especially beneficial for the low energy days that might follow your cleanse.</p>
<p><strong><em>Not going for a massage</em></strong><br />
This is a wonderful way of <a href="https://www.urbanmassage.com/editorial/how-can-you-detox-with-a-massage/">speeding up the disposal of toxins out of your body</a>. Not only does it feel great, but it will help you sleep better, too.</p>
<p><strong><em>Not going out into the sun</em></strong><br />
<a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/health-news/two-types-of-vitamin-d-that-you-need-to-know-about/">Direct sunlight on our bodies provides many benefits</a>, and vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, boosts our immune system and helps prevent cancer. Try to get at least 15 minutes of sunshine a day without sunscreen.</p>
<p><strong><em>Not getting enough sleep</em></strong><br />
<a href="https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/sleep-deprivation-and-deficiency">Getting enough quality sleep</a> at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, and quality of life.</p>
<p><img alt="grandparents eating meal with family" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32405" height="334" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/grandparents-eating-meal-with-family.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/grandparents-eating-meal-with-family.jpg 500w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/grandparents-eating-meal-with-family-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/grandparents-eating-meal-with-family-125x84.jpg 125w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/grandparents-eating-meal-with-family-75x50.jpg 75w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/grandparents-eating-meal-with-family-272x182.jpg 272w" width="500" /></p>
<h2><strong>But Isn’t a Cleanse Only About Digestion?</strong></h2>
<p>Some of these mistakes do not seem to affect your digestive system directly, right? Well, the hidden truth of all they do might astound you! Your digestive system is very delicate after a cleanse, having digested a very different diet for days. It feels as if your body has been entirely focused on pushing out those toxins and healing. This means that if you choose to binge on high-fat, high-sugar, hard-to-digest foods, you will not only feel the physical repercussions—think stomach cramps, headaches, bloating—but you will hamper the progress you have made while cleansing.</p>
<p>Everyone knows the gut is responsible for digesting food, but did you know it also performs other essential functions? Your gut also holds something referred to as “The Second Brain,” which comprises <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201110/your-backup-brain">microbiomes and the enteric nervous system</a>. This “Backup Brain,” which runs through your gut, regulates your mood (it supplies over 95% of the mood-boosting serotonin!).</p>
<h2><strong>The Takeaway</strong></h2>
<p>As you will discover, the functioning of your digestive system affects every process in your body, which means that the side effects of poor gut health can show up anywhere. Post-cleanse, don’t simply dive right back into your old ways of making poor food choices. Instead, take this as an opportunity to start anew, <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/">focusing your diet on plant-based, vegetable-rich meals</a>. Enjoy your new healthier, stronger more glowing version of you!</p>

<h2><strong>Can I Take Fiber Supplements Long Term?</strong></h2>
<p>Certain Hallelujah Diet fiber cleanse supplements aren’t recommended for long-term use. When you first begin the Bible-based Hallelujah Diet, <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/fiber-cleanse-powder-natural-colon-cleanse-original-16-oz.html">you’ll use fiber cleanse supplements</a> during the first 2-3 months. After that, you’ll switch to taking ground flaxseeds, which are fiber-rich foods that you can eat long term.</p>
<p>In fact, taking fiber supplements regularly can help you achieve or maintain a healthy weight, lower your cholesterol and blood sugar, improve digestive health, and prevent constipation during your senior years. You’ll be surprised at how much better you’ll feel just by making this simple lifestyle change.</p>
<h2><strong>What Are the Ingredients in a Fiber Cleanse?</strong></h2>
<p>Hallelujah Diet fiber cleanse supplements include the following ingredients:</p>
<ul>
<li>Psyllium husk</li>
<li>Flaxseed</li>
<li>Black walnut hulls</li>
<li>Pumpkin seeds</li>
<li>Herbs</li>
</ul>
<p>All ingredients are made of foods and herbs from plant sources, to provide you with the most natural fiber sources available.</p>
<h2><strong>Should I Try a Colon Cleanse?</strong></h2>
<p>You can benefit from a colon cleanse regardless of your age, even when you’re a senior! You might try a cleanse several days each month, but always make sure to read the directions thoroughly before taking colon cleansing supplements, to make sure doing so is safe for you—especially if you have a medical condition or take medications.</p>
<p>After your colon cleanse, <a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/what-is-the-hallelujah-diet-and-why-does-it-work/">continue on with the heart-healthy Hallelujah Diet</a> long term so you can look younger, feel better, and maximize your health and quality of life! The diet is entirely plant-based to help your body fight illness and diseases naturally the way God intended.</p>

What Is the Impossible Burger and Is It Healthy?

<p>The Impossible Burger is often touted as the only plant-based burger that bleeds.</p>
<p>With its meat-like taste, texture, and appearance, the Impossible Burger is a popular new ingredient that has begun generating quite a bit of buzz within the food industry. In fact, it has quickly secured a slot on the menus of restaurants around the country as an easy and effortless vegetarian option. Now being served up everywhere from steakhouses to fast food restaurants, the Impossible Burger has started gaining widespread popularity among veteran vegans and <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/plant-based-important-nutrients/">plant-based beginners</a> alike.</p>
<p>But what is the Impossible Burger? And is it actually good for you or are you better off going for the real deal instead? Here’s what you need to know.</p>
<h2>What Is the Impossible Burger?</h2>
<p>The Impossible Burger is a type of veggie burger that’s notable for its unique taste and appearance. Even though it’s totally meatless, it has a flavor that’s remarkably close to a regular hamburger. Interestingly enough, the similarities are so strong that the burger even “bleeds” when you cut it, just like real meat.</p>
<p>The product was developed by a company called Impossible Foods, which is a startup based in Silicon Valley, California. CEO Patrick Brown is a medical doctor and researcher who founded the company with a mission to promote environmental sustainability by reducing animal agriculture. For several years, his teams conducted extensive research to evaluate the unique properties of meat at a molecular level.</p>
<p>Through this research, scientists discovered a compound called soy leghemoglobin. Although it’s totally plant-based, soy leghemoblobin contains an iron-containing compound called heme, which allows it to take on a taste that’s surprisingly similar to meat. Along with soy leghemoglobin, the Impossible Burger also contains ingredients like soy protein concentration, potato protein, coconut oil, and sunflower oil (<a href="https://faq.impossiblefoods.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018937494-What-are-the-ingredients-" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1</a>).</p>
<p><a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837.jpg"><img alt="16 Foods That Aren't Really Healthy | Nutrition Stripped" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49627" height="1500" sizes="(max-width: 1229px) 100vw, 1229px" src="https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837.jpg" srcset="https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837.jpg 1229w, https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837-246x300.jpg 246w, https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837-768x937.jpg 768w, https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837-839x1024.jpg 839w, https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837-762x930.jpg 762w, https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837-606x740.jpg 606w, https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837-246x300@2x.jpg 492w, https://nutritionstripped.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/NS_BeetrootBurgers.8837-606x740@2x.jpg 1212w" width="1229" /></a></p>
<h3>Is the Impossible Burger Healthy?</h3>
<p>There’s no doubt about the environmental benefits of the Impossible Burger. On their website, Impossible Foods claims that it takes 96% less land and 87% less water to produce one Impossible Burger compared to a regular hamburger. Plus, it generates 89% fewer emissions, which can have a huge, long-lasting impact on the health of the environment (<a href="https://impossiblefoods.com/mission/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2</a>).</p>
<p>It also boasts a similar nutrient profile as regular burgers. A single four-ounce patty contains about 240 calories, 19 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and plenty of B-vitamins, iron, calcium, zinc, and phosphorus (<a href="https://impossiblefoods.com/food/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">3</a>).</p>
<p>However, the biggest concern that many consumers have with the Impossible Burger is with its star ingredient: soy leghemoglobin. According to the FDA, soy leghemoglobin has achieved GRAS status, which means that it’s generally recognized as safe (<a href="https://www.fda.gov/media/116243/download" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">4</a>). Studies conducted by researchers have reached a similar conclusion, with one review noting that it’s unlikely to present a risk of toxicity to consumers (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28921896" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5</a>). Still, these studies are focused on the short-term effects of the ingredient; more research is needed to understand whether soy leghemoglobin may have any serious effects on health in the long-run.</p>
<p>The heme found in the Impossible Burger is also derived from genetically modified sources. Whether <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/are-gmos-unhealthy/">genetically modified organisms</a> (GMOs) are unhealthy or not is up for debate, but many people choose to avoid or limit GMO exposure due to concerns about allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, and even cancer (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3791249/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">6</a>). Plus, with a lack of research on the long-term effects of GMO consumption, it remains a subject of heated controversy within the scientific community.</p>
<p>Furthermore, unlike other veggie burgers on the market, the Impossible Burger is pumped full of processed ingredients and vegetable oils. Even a quick scan of the back of the package can leave you wondering whether you’re reading an ingredients label or a science textbook.</p>
<p>Selecting a healthy, whole food-based veggie burger instead may be a better option in many cases, as it can supply a range of important nutrients your body needs, including fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Alternatively, try making your own at home! Check out my recipes for <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/chickpea-burgers/">Chickpea Burgers</a> or <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/blissed-out-black-bean-burger/">Blissed Out Black Bean Burger</a> if you’re looking for an easy way to get started.</p>
<h3>NS Recommends</h3>
<p>The Impossible Burger is a quick, tasty, and convenient product that can help ease the transition into plant-based eating. It’s also a good alternative to burgers and can provide a similar set of nutrients, with a fraction of the environmental impact.</p>
<p>However, it’s full of processed ingredients and preservatives, including GMOs that could potentially come with some scary health consequences in the long-run. And with plenty of other options out there for healthy, whole food-based burgers, there are tons of ways you can cut back on meat consumption while still getting the nutrients you need–along with less of the junk that you don’t.</p>
<p>Therefore, while it’s okay to enjoy the Impossible Burger from time to time, it’s best to balance it with other <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/10-plant-based-proteins-eating/">plant-based proteins</a>, including tofu, tempeh, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds.</p>

Essential Health Supplements for Women

<p>The secret to long-term health lies in meeting your body’s nutritional needs through the years. While a healthy diet may well supply a host of vital nutrients on a daily basis, aging and lifestyle factors may warrant the need for an extra layer of support. <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/supplements/luminology.html">Essential health supplements for women</a> offer an easy and effective means to ensure your body has everything it needs to maintain good health. Here’s some information on the types of supplements a woman’s body most needs at different stages of life.</p>
<h2><strong>Why Take Supplements at All?</strong></h2>
<p>While your daily diet offers the very best way to supply the body with the nutrients it needs, this isn’t always possible. Pregnancy, a plant based diet, a Standard American diet, a Paleo diet, a keto diet, and nearly any other kind of diet, as well as food allergies and the hormonal changes that come with age are all <a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/health-news/must-read-the-most-important-nutrients-for-womens-health/">circumstances where your daily diet may be lacking in essential nutrients it needs to thrive</a>. And, for some individuals, eating five to nine or ten to eighteen servings (if you’re on the Hallelujah Diet) of fruits and vegetables every day just doesn’t happen. Dietary supplements for women can help fill these nutritional gaps. Here are a handful of essential supplements for women to consider, along with a few that specifically address the hormonal irregularities that come with the change of life:</p>
<h2><strong>Essential Supplements for Women’s Health</strong></h2>
<h3><strong><em>Vitamin B12</em></strong></h3>
<p>Whether you follow a plant-based diet, are pregnant, or are 50 years old or older, <a href="https://www.womenshealth.gov/healthy-eating/how-eat-health/vitamins-and-minerals-women">vitamin B12 may well be sorely lacking in your diet</a>. Although B12 is produced by bacteria in the gut, many times this is not adequate as lifestyle factors impeded the production of optimal levels. The body uses this essential vitamin to make red blood cells and support the brain and central nervous system, so it’s a must-have nutrient for good health. Supplementation may be necessary to insure optimal B12 status.</p>
<h3><strong><em>Calcium</em></strong></h3>
<p>The body needs calcium at all stages of life. This is especially true for women approaching menopause, due to the substantial decline in estrogen levels. Your body stores calcium in the bones and keeps them strong. This means the food you eat must meet the needs for the rest of the body, which are many. The body uses calcium to maintain healthy muscle function, promote blood clotting, maintain healthy vessels, and also promote healthy enzyme activity. When calcium supplies run low, the body must leach calcium from the bones. This leaching process increases your risk of developing osteoporosis. While many people turn to calcium supplements, this practice has been linked to <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.d2040">a higher risk of cardiovascular disease</a>. It is much wiser to optimize vitamin D3 and K2 levels. Bones are actually <a href="http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/102/6/1416">strengthened by vitamin C</a> and magnesium along with calcium-rich plant foods.</p>
<h3><strong><em>Probiotics</em></strong></h3>
<p>Your gut health determines the health of the body as a whole. The gut not only delivers needed nutrients from food to the body but also plays a major role in immune system health. Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5646295/">the aging process takes a toll on your gut’s ability to do its job, which opens the door for chronic diseases, such as hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes to develop</a>. Probiotic supplements supply your gut with the good bacteria it needs to function at its best and to produce B12 more efficiently. These benefits not only help your gut absorb nutrients from food but also nutrients from any other types of supplements you may take.</p>
<h3><strong><em>Omega-3 Fatty Acids</em></strong></h3>
<p><img alt="omega 3 icon illustration" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-32415" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/omega-3-icon-illustration-300x300.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/omega-3-icon-illustration-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/omega-3-icon-illustration-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/omega-3-icon-illustration-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/omega-3-icon-illustration-75x75.jpg 75w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/omega-3-icon-illustration.jpg 500w" width="300" />Omega-3 fatty acids offer a host of health benefits that become increasingly important as the body ages:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reduce the type of inflammation that gives rise to cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease</li>
<li>Support the systems that contribute to stable blood sugar levels</li>
<li>Reduce plaque buildup in the arteries</li>
<li>Support heart health in general</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Essential Hormonal Supplements for Women</strong></h2>
<h3><strong><em>Perimenopause Support</em></strong></h3>
<p>For women in their late thirties to mid-forties, mood swings, irregular menses, hot flashes, and sleep deprivation may well be symptoms of perimenopause. During this time, shifting hormone levels throw off the body’s systems in drastic ways. Perimenopause supplements can help promote hormonal balance while also normalizing menstrual periods.</p>
<h3><strong><em>Menopause Support</em></strong></h3>
<p>For women in their late 40s to early 50s, the menopause transition is in full swing. Bladder problems, vaginal dryness, night sweats, and insomnia are the most common symptoms experienced. Supporting your body as it transitions through this life change can reduce much of the discomfort that comes with menopause. Our menopause support supplement, <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/luminology-breeze-menopause.html">Luminology Breeze contains a mix of herbs, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants</a> and supports the body in the areas most impacted by hormonal imbalance. Luminology Breeze benefits include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Eliminates excess estrogen</li>
<li>Helps stabilize hormone levels</li>
<li>Strengthens the immune system</li>
<li>Reduces stress levels</li>
<li>Promotes progesterone production</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong><em>Post-Menopause Support</em></strong></h3>
<p><img alt="marking calendar for menopause" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-32414" height="182" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/marking-calendar-for-menopause-300x182.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/marking-calendar-for-menopause-300x182.jpg 300w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/marking-calendar-for-menopause-125x76.jpg 125w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/marking-calendar-for-menopause-75x45.jpg 75w, https://www.myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/marking-calendar-for-menopause.jpg 500w" width="300" />Depending on how early perimenopause starts, a woman can experience post-menopause systems anywhere between her later 40s to early 60s. Once menses have stopped altogether, problems experienced during menopause can get even worse. Considering how aging, in and of itself, compromises the body’s ability to rebuild and maintain healthy cells and tissues, post-menopause supplements can help in two ways: strengthening the body’s systems while helping hormone levels reach a stable balance.</p>
<p>When essential nutrients are missing from your diet, the body suffers in telltale ways. Women, in particular, often require added nutritional supports to help the body age gracefully. Ultimately, essential health supplements for women fill those nutritional gaps while providing you with the supports and protections needed to experience optimal health for the years to come.</p>
