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.
The uncertainty in and of itself shows faith and a true expression of love. There are so many things that they can do with your blood to help save and take care of others. If you think of the needs of newborn babies who may need blood or even individuals who may be suffering from some horrible accident, you will have a better idea about why giving blood is so important.
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.
3. Sit down and write out some possible meals. Meals that I have made for each Tupperware container have included: *Fried stew steak (small chunks of steak that sell for cheap) marinated for a few hours in lemon and spices. Fried rice with vegetables and potatoes. Mix all the items together to create a cheap stir-fry. Eat an apple or banana with two of the meals. *Chicken stew with large chunks of grilled chicken (home-cooked) on rice. Pour the stew on top of chicken and rice to make a Hawaiian haystack type of meal. Stew should have vegetables in it. Grab a pear. *Tuna mixed with large macaroni noodle pasta with sliced chestnuts and diced celery for texture. If you are home some frozen grapes (they last forever and are a personal favorite) or if away from home bring an orange or blueberries.
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.
This lowers their iron levels and decreases oxidative damage. While iron plays an essential role in the body, when there is too much, there can be some serious damage. There are also requirements of those wishing to give blood which gives you another reason to maintain good health.
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.
8. When the day starts drink a protein shake before leaving the house and make sure to grab two meals from the fridge before you head off to work. Around 11 am you will eat your first meal (I eat mine while at my desk) and then another at around 2 pm. When you get off work eat your last meal around 5-6 pm. Wait and hour or so and hit the gym while you still have a lot of energy but not when your stomach is full. After returning from your work out wait half hour and then finish off the night with another glass of protein shake. Side note: A lot of protein shakes and supplements are garbage in a container. It is extremely easy to start your own shake company and many mixes are relatively the same with varying price points. Some of them actually have more heavy metals than you should be consuming as well as other questionable ingredients. Do your research before you purchase and don't just buy the cheap sugary mess from Wal-Mart.
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.
