🥳🥳Did you know 🥳🥳

Having a healthy dinner is linked to good sleep, good choices at breakfast and lunch, lower inflammation, greater resilience to stress, better digestion, stable blood sugar and lower anxiety.

What about the importance of timing 🤔

The time you eat dinner is just as important as what you eat. Many a time people eat dinner very late and then struggle with poor quality sleep, disturbed digestion and volatile dreams. 🤐🤐

Remember that your digestion gets weaker and weaker the more you move past sunset. The closer your dinner is to sunset the lighter it is on your body. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Engage with Megashift for consultation on any nutrition topic or issue.

🥳🥳This week I want us to handle 🥳🥳

Insomnia 🤨🤨

**Did you know, that insomnia is categorized as a non communicable disease**

🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

But, what is insomnia 🤔🤔

Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which you have trouble falling and/or staying asleep.

The condition can be short-term (acute) or can last a long time (chronic). It may also come and go.

Acute insomnia lasts from 1 night to a few weeks. Insomnia is chronic when it happens at least 3 nights a week for 3 months or more.

🤓🤓🤓

Did you know

A diet high in refined carbohydrates may raise the likelihood of developing insomnia, according to a 2019 study. Often referred to as “empty” calories, refined carbs include sugars and processed grains that are stripped of nutrients. 🤔🤔

Ouuuuuuu lala 🥁🥁🥁

Please feel free to engage us for further discussion.

Hellooooo
What have you all learned this far from the Facebook series on proteins?
Anything new with regard to proteins ??
I'll start with what I have learned😁😁
Well, I definitely did not think Avocado would make the protein list..
And wait did you all take a long look at the dietary allowance calculations😅😅
Like the emoji above that allowance topic honestly makes most of us sweat😂😂
Maybe a small recap
We have looked at the definition,sources,types and dietary allowance😄😄
So if you took a small nutrition quiz to test your protein knowledge how would you score from the proteins theme 😌😌
And wait can you now educate someone else ??
Please text or email back for more information or services we could offer you at Megashift Nutrition.
Thank you!

Covid-19 and Nutrition

Tips on basic nutrition 😎

Protein 🐓🐄
So🙂🙂
-We've been mentioning some protein foods like chicken 😋but we have never really gone deeper into proteins.
Let me begin with the definition😅
-What is a protein?
A protein is a macronutrient that is essential for building muscle mass 🏋🏋
It is commonly found in animal products, though it is also present in other sources, such as nuts and legumes. 😎😎
Did you know 😅😅
-Proteins help to build a stronger immunity apart from contributing to muscle growth and development.”
Okay let's get deeper 🤓
So😃
The immune system works through the usage of certain protein molecules called antibodies.🤗
These antibodies come into action as a response to harmful foreign substances like bacteria and viruses.🙄🙄
-Cytokines, a group of proteins that are specifically secreted by the immune system, are used by the body to signal for regulation of immunity.😅
-Your gut is packed with 60-70 per cent of immune cells and these cells utilise branched-chain amino acids for fuelling themselves.
In conclusion🤐
- Dietary protein is necessary to help boost or build your immunity
Woaahhhh🎌🎌
Proteins are so essential

Wednesday 💃💃
Well so we've defined Vitamin D and we have looked at the sources 🍱🍱
Now today we must look at the types

Yap I just said types 🏌🏌
There are two major types of vitamin D;🤗🤗

Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) – which is synthesized by plants and is not produced by the human body😅

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) – which is made in large quantities in the skin when sunlight strikes bare skin. It can also be ingested from animal sources🐷

So what happens when we ingest or busk out in the sun 😏😏
Once Vitamin D is absorbed through unprotected skin or ingested then absorbed by the intestines, vitamin D is bound to the binding protein and carried to the liver via the bloodstream🌏🌏
But wait have you all heard the rumour that Vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus are all co-workers 🎌well, it is not a rumour
Did you know;
🍶🌞
Vitamin D functions by stimulating intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption🍨
Calcium , phosphorus and vitamin D work together to protect your bones. Calcium and phosphorus help build and maintain bones, while vitamin D helps your body effectively absorb them.
So even if you’re taking in enough calcium and phosphorus, it could be going to waste if you’re deficient in vitamin D.
Wheeeww . That's it for today 🚵🚵

Breakfast 💃🏿💃🏿

What is breakfast and why is it so important 🧐🧐

Let's see 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

As the name suggests, breakfast breaks the overnight fasting period. It replenishes your supply of glucose to boost your energy levels and alertness, while also providing other essential nutrients required for good health.

Ouuu did you have your breakfast today 🤔

Coming soon on Tik Tok!

🥳🥳Good day to you all 🥳🥳

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

This week I want to speak to you about the common cold

🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️

Definition please

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

🥁🥁🥁Here we go 🥁🥁🥁

The common cold is defined as an acute disease of the upper respiratory tract that is marked by inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose, throat, eyes, and eustachian tubes and by a watery then purulent discharge and is caused by any of several viruses (such as a rhinovirus or an adenovirus)

When do people mostly experience the common cold 🧐🧐

It is possible to get the cold anytime of the year with one symptom being the sore throat. Statistically adults have an average of 2 to 3 cold per year while children get it more .

Well, what is the link between diet and the common cold 😯😯

Join me tomorrow for that conversation 🤓

🥳🥳Happy new week 🥳🥳

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

This week's theme is

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Eczema

Did you know Eczema is a non communicable disease
🤨🤨

But what exactly is eczema 🤓

Eczema is a condition in which patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some types can also cause blisters

Did you know 🧐🧐
Eczema affects up to 20% of children and 3% of adults; latest global data shows increases in its prevalence. In Africa, the prevalence of eczema ranges from 4.7% to 23%.

We now know the definition but what is the link between diet and eczema 🥳

Eating certain foods may trigger a flare-up for eczema . Maintaining an eczema-friendly diet is key to overall condition management. Not everyone will have the same reactions or flare ups to the same foods.

Join me tomorrow as we discuss some of the eczema friendly foods 😊
