Vitamin K is an essential compound that plays a main role in blood clotting and bone metabolization (bone building). Shots of vitamin K are often given to newborn infants because they lack sufficient amounts of this vitamin. Without this shot, these infants can become vulnerable to excessive bleeding. A lack of vitamin K in adults can result in the same issue. Vitamin K is split into two major forms: K1 (mostly responsible for blood clotting) and K2 (mostly responsible for bone metabolization). K1 is often found in leafy greens like kale and spinach, whereas K2 is often found in foods like egg yolk and ground beef. Although it is very possible to be deficient in this compound, most people get enough of it from their diet.

- We hope you found Week 2's topic on vitamins informative. Come back on Monday for the start of Week 3!!!

Vitamin E is an important, fat-soluble nutrient that works as an antioxidant in the body. One major role vitamin E plays is protecting your body's cells from free radicals (harmful molecules in the environment). Many studies are being done on this vitamin to see how it supports our skin, vision, and brain health. Vitamin E is found in many foods such as spinach, almonds, avocado, tofu and broccoli. Those who lack healthy amounts of this vitamin in their diet may benefit from taking well-sourced supplements.

The average person in the U.S. consumes an appropriate amount of vitamin B12 through their diet. People who follow vegetarian or vegan diets may lack amounts of vitamin B12 due to the foods that their diets consist of. This vitamin can be found in foods like beef and crab. Vitamin B12 has many roles in bodily functions such as aiding in blood cell formation, food metabolization, and nerve function.

A sufficient amount of vitamin D is necessary to support growth of bones and teeth. Healthy vitamin D intake can also help prevent disease associated with bones and bone health.

Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is an essential vitamin in our diets. One of the biggest functions of vitamin C is to help your body absorb iron. It can be found in many foods including citrus fruits, and vegetables (such as bell peppers and broccoli). The average person gets a sufficient amount of vitamin C in their body because it is naturally abundant in many foods. However, Vitamin C is water-soluble and not much of it stays in the body after being consumed. This is one of the reasons why it is so difficult to have too much of it. Eat your fruits and veggies to reap the benefits of this vitamin!

More often than not, you cannot expect to lose significant weight or see major results over night. Weight loss is a process that usually takes several weeks or months to see decent results. This process requires a lot of patience, discipline and consistency. You should discipline yourself by not giving up or giving in to your cravings. In addition to disciplining yourself, you need to stay consistent in regard to your healthy eating habits and workout routine. By consistently following an appropriate eating and exercise plan, you will get closer and closer to reaching your goals. Constantly remind yourself of why you started and what you wanted to achieve. Trust the process and be optimistic to keep yourself motivated throughout your weight loss journey.

This wraps up the end of Week 1 on weight loss. Come back for Week 2's topic starting on Monday, Oct.24!!!

Exercise can be one of the most important parts of your weight loss journey. Not only does it help burn calories, but exercise can also help raise energy levels and even make you feel happier. Types of exercise include running, walking, climbing, dancing, and more. Forms of weight loss that don't include exercise can be impractical and unsustainable in the long run. Whether you are trying to lose weight, get stronger, or simply be healthier, exercise should be a part of your routine. Don't miss our last post of Week 1 tomorrow!

A calorie deficit diet is an efficient, sustainable addition to your weight loss routine. While on a calorie deficit diet, one should consume low calorie foods that are packed with necessary nutrients. Like previously mentioned in the last post, you should avoid foods that are heavily processed and foods that are high in added sugars. The main idea in a well-managed calorie deficit diet is to burn more calories than you consume. This can be done a variety of ways with a major one being exercise. Stay tuned for our next post about exercise!

What we put into our bodies can either make or break our weight loss goals. Constantly consuming heavily processed foods or junk foods is counterproductive when tyring to shed some weight. These foods may satisfy your cravings, however, they may not satisfy your appetite causing you to consume a surplus of empty and innutritious calories. When aiming for weight loss results, you should typically consume low calorie, nutrient-dense foods. Learn more about calorie intake in our next post!

Protein is an essential macronutrient when it comes to building muscle mass. It is important to eat foods high in protein to promote muscle mass and also keep cravings and appetite in check. Weight loss is much more achievable when the right amounts of protein are consumed. Protein supplements like powders and shakes may be beneficial to those lacking sufficient amounts of protein in their diets.
