Multivitamin/mineral and Protein supplements: As your diet may be lacking in the essential vitamins and minerals, it is a good idea to get a time-released multivitamin. Get something a little better than Centrum. Most gym and health food stores offer a variety of good and effective vitamin formulas. A power/shake mix is another useful aid in your quest for a faster, more efficient metabolism. It is an easy way to get in a quick meal replacement, but don’t make these the bulk of your diet.
Try to limit yourself to around two liquid meals daily with the other 2-4 meals being solid meals. The shakes contain high quality protein; some even contain carbohydrates, so pick one you like and use it in conjunction with your food. Supplement shakes are a quick alternative to eating a meal. A shake can be blended up on the run, quickly and efficiently. Meal Frequency: Meals need to be eaten more frequently and in smaller portions, three to four hours apart. Frequent meals are important in helping to speed up your metabolism.
Speeding up your metabolism is the only way to permanently lose body fat and obtain lean muscle mass. When you begin eating your meals more frequently your body will begin to burn energy at a faster rate. A faster metabolism will result in more calories being burned during the day, as well as giving you higher levels of energy. Eat 4-6 small meals each day!
The Cooler Plan: Avoid eating out at all cost! This may be extremely hard for some and easier for others. Restaurant food simply is not going to be low in fat. If a restaurant does serve some lean dishes, you are probably not going to be lucky enough to have ordered it. The bottom line is you don’t always know what you are getting. It is amazing how it always taste better at the restaurant.
The final principle of nutrition you need to know is physiological dynamics. Unlike drugs, nutrients do not have rapid effects. No quick fix. The business of nutrition is to build a better body. That has to wait on Nature to turn over body cells. A blood cell lasts 60-120 days. In 3-4 months your whole blood supple is completely replaced. In 6 months almost all the proteins in your body die and are replaced, even the DNA of your genes. In a year all your bones and even the enamel of your teeth is replaced, constructed entirely out of the nutrients you eat. This time course is well illustrated by the course of deficiency diseases.
Accordingly, nutrition interventions of the Department of Health are integrated with other health activities including immunization, disease control, environmental sanitation, maternal and child health, school health and health education. Besides, the Ministry of Health, in striving for the improvement of the nutritional status of people, collaborate closely with other related ministries, especially with those responsible for food production and distribution including the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Mines.

The integrity of food is in crisis. While nutrient intake continues to be very bio-available from food – it is getting more and more difficult to find anyone looking to it for health. What we turn to, instead, is pills. In every mall and on every other street corner, there is a someone trying to sell us into the multi-billion dollar supplement industry, and we are buying it. Health expos across the country are charging consumers admission to walk through rows of supplement booths wanting to sell us “the” cutting edge products that guarantee health (or your money back). Homeowners are becoming business entrepreneurs by selling the top multi-level marketing (MLM) products from the biggest vitamin manufacturers.
