Doctors have studied for a very long time to be able to gain a comprehensive knowledge of health and the human body. However, sometimes we forget that no matter how accomplished they may be, we still have the responsibility to make sure we are asking them questions that will enable them to help us in the best way possible.
1. Understand the plan first. You will be eating three small meals throughout the day and beginning and ending your day with a protein shake for a total of five meal during the day. This amounts to 35 meals per week or (subtracting the protein shakes), 21 prepared meals.
Free Health Check-Up If you want to know if your cholesterol is up or if you have low blood pressure, then giving blood can be a quick and cheap way to find out. You basically get a free checkup where they make sure that there is nothing wrong with your blood. The tests are extensive enough to make sure that everything is alright with your blood, so you can leave knowing much more about your body than you did before you got there.
People don't usually keep things from their doctor consciously, but it can easy to simply forget certain symptoms you may have experienced when you're in the doctor's office. A good way to combat this is to keep a record of any sensations or feelings you may experience. That way, you can quickly look over them before you go to the doctor's office.
Lowers Heart Disease Risk When you give blood it lowers the levels of iron in the blood which decreases the amount of oxidative damage. This is the reason that women are less likely to have heart attacks than men, especially when they experience bleeding with their periods.
5. Cook your meals. I prefer to cook out all 21 meals once a week on the weekend. By the time the week is up I am ready for something else. If you want more diversity in your meals then cook smaller amounts more often.
6. When you cook the food make sure to place it in the Tupperware upside down. For example if you wanted the chicken, Hawaiian haystack put the soup on bottom then chunks of chicken and vegetables followed by rice on top. This way you can flip the container onto a plate and throw it in the microwave. The portions sizes are really up to you. I make sure to have a good amount of vegetables and meal in the meals and not too much rice.
Lose Weight For each time that you donate, you can lose up to 650calories. This can add up when you give blood consistently. Another thing to think about is the fact that when you give blood your body needs to replenish your blood supply and this can bring good new blood around the body.
Communicate Above all else, simply remember that your doctor is a person, just like you. So get in the habit of talking.
9. Enjoy your meals and your make the most of your workout. While this style of meal planning may not be for everyone I really enjoyed it. There are great benefits like only having to cook once a week and always having a good meal on hand if you are hungry (avoids binge eating crap). You can also save money this way by avoiding eating out and most importantly make the most of your workout by giving your body the nutrients and energy it needs to create muscle and eliminate fat. I realize the meal plan is more of an outline but this allows you to make adjustments if you like and find out meals you enjoy. Experiment to find out what you like and make sure to be consistent in your eating habits. A great part of exercise and meal planning is that a lot of health insurance companies will lower your premiums if you report consistent exercise and take health tests each year. So not only are you able to stay in shape but you get affordable health insurance as well.
