Why do we have the concept of God if we know how to live the perfect life?

according to doctors, there are 6 needs of the human. Meet all of these needs, and you live the perfect life (the utopia):
1. Physical (nutrition, avoiding harmful substances, sleep, exercise, health care)

2. Social (friends, family, co-workers, pets)

3. Emotional (self care, laughter, hobbies)

4. Spiritual (altruism, Higher Power, volunteering)

5. Intellectual (university, learning something new)

6. Vocational (meaningful work)

If humans can finally design a utopia to live in that meets all of these needs, should humans still need the concept of “heaven”?

Aside question: I know #4 is a need for a higher power, but how much emphasis you put on #4 is your choice, not the higher power’s choice. Does this not defeat the purpose of higher power? A power whose decision has higher priority than your own?

What are the Most Important Things in a Nutrition Program?

Copyright (c) 2008 Jason Szova

Nutrition program can be defined as a process of taking in or consuming healthy and growth supporting food. With the changing lifestyle in urban areas every other person is surrounded with junk food or fast food temptation, but none of those unfit food stuff works the way a balanced diet does.

A good or balanced nutrition for healthy living is a benefit for every age type, especially for those spending hours in gym or other physical activities. It is a well known fact that nutritional diet intake is full of benefits for every category of people and supports growth in teenagers and kids, while helping in maintaining healthy and fit body in adults.

Before going to nutrition filled food and the important things in a nutrition program, you need to understand that nutrition does not only mean having lots of protein through the day or throwing calories away from your life or to skip a meal or to eat less. Nutrition or nutrition program is a process where a complete combination of all the nutrients should be present in day to day diet i.e. you can not just skip carbohydrates or fat from your food intake.

Mostly people involved in workouts tend to suffer from weakness and late post-workout recovery due to incomplete nutrition intake. You may be having protein supplements, but your body will still be lacking in nutrition for the absence of other vital ingredients of a perfect nutrition program. A human body needs a well balanced combination of the three main ingredients of a nutrition program .i.e. protein, carbohydrate and fat. Along with these three main components, a nutrition program also consists of vitamins, minerals and adequate amount of water intake.

A good nutrition program consist of vital steps or things to be taken care of, as it helps to ensure that the body is getting complete nutrition and does not lacks in any of the key ingredient. But, there are also things not to be done to balance and succeed in your nutritional intake. These ‘not to do’ things say – do not begin a nutrition program without a physical activity like exercising or cycling or brisk walking, do not skip your meals (breakfast or lunch or dinner), do not depend only on supplements and substitutes for losing weight or gaining Muscle Strength and do not skip or minus any of the three main ingredients mentioned.

Another big mistake people tend to make in the name of nutrition intake or nutritious diet is by eating less or staying on fast through the day (with nothing but fruits intake). Often, eating less or nothing works towards slowing down or destroying the metabolism of a body.

Some of the most important things in a complete nutrition program are small but 5-6 meals per day, little bit of everything, management of calories to a level or intake of good fat, lost of water intake through a day, addition of fiber rich food and inclusion of vegetables and fruits in daily intake.

Experts believe that for a good healthy and nutritional intake one need to eat more than 3 meals per day. These meals should be 5 to 6 in number and less in quantity; also these small meals should consist of a balanced ratio of all the vital ingredients. This step of a nutrition programs helps to put an end to extra hunger or need for food and puts an end to starvation, also this helps to boost up the body metabolism and supports digestion system too. Next step comes as a balanced ratio of all the ingredients or little bit of everything i.e. to manage your 5-6 meals with lots of protein, required amount of carbohydrates, 20 to 25 % of fat per day and desired amount of vitamins and minerals.

People in general are always afraid of fat intake and tend to shift towards fat free or low fat food products, but truth is that fat has its own vital role in a nutrition diet. Fat is required for providing energy, stamina and oil to the bones, muscles, tissues and cells in the body. Fat intake to a desired level (specially the essential fat or the good fat) is compulsory for not just those indulged in muscle building, but is also equally important for rowing children and ageing adults for lubrication of joints. There are three types of fats present in food, such as saturate fat, polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats. Out of these three types, monounsaturated fats are the essential and good fats required by a body for growth, strong joints and bones, building of stamina and for maintaining a decent level of cholesterol in the body. It also is said to have good ‘antioxidant’ characteristics. Olive oil, canola oil and fish oil are some of the sources of monounsaturated fats; also this type of fat is present in both kinds of products (plant and animal).

Objective of a nutritious diet is not just to provide health and growth to a body, but to maintain its vital function like metabolism and digestion. Adequate intake of water in a day works towards helping the body in performing these functions successfully. Water does not just prevent a body from dehydrating, but also act as a cleanser for body toxins. Water is needed in a body to support the breakdown of valuable ingredients within the body.

Lastly, a balanced or perfect nutrition program can never exit without the intake of right amount of valuable fiber rich products like fruits and vegetables. To maintain a fiber level within a body is important enough to not to be ignored. You can always eat lots of salad or fruits between your main meals to fill your body with vital fibers required for performing digestive functions and to maintain the nutrition level of the body. Some of the source for fiber rich fruits and vegetables are: apples, pears, oranges, grapefruits, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, carrots, mushrooms and green beans.

Thus, a good nutritional diet program is essential to make your body perform its vital functions with an ease.

How to Make a Southern Comfort Food Meal: Pecan Catfish, Red Potato Wedges, and Vanilla Pound Cake With Fresh Berries

How about an old fashion Southern Catfish meal?  For something really tasty, make these Southern Pecan Catfish.  You know if it’s southern, it has to have butter and cream.  This catfish is fried in butter and served with a creamy sauce.  Invite your catfish lovin’ friends to share this meal with you.  You will really impress them!  Red Potato Wedges make a great side dish.  And finish off your meal with another Southern staple, Vanilla Pound Cake with fresh berries. 

SOUTHERN PECAN CATFISH

1 cup finely chopped pecans, divided

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 tsp salt, divided

1 tsp pepper, divided

4 catfish fillets (about 6-oz each)

1/2 cup butter, divided

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp minced fresh parsley

In a shallow bow, combine the following ingredients: 1/2 cup of the pecans, cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.  Coat the fish fillets with this mixture. 

In a large heavy skillet, melt 1/4 cup of the butter over a medium-high heat.  Fry the fish in the skillet until it flakes with a fork.  This should take about 6 to 7 minutes of cooking on each side.  Remove from skillet but keep warm.

Melt the remaining butter over medium heat in the same skillet used to cook the fish.  Add the remaining pecans and cook and stir for about a minute.  Add the cream, lemon juice and remaining salt and pepper.  Cook mixture, stirring constantly, for about another minute.  Stir in the fresh parsley and spoon sauce over the fish before serving.

RED POTATO WEDGES

4 medium red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tsp minced fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried, crushed rosemary)

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Place potato wedges in a large bowl.  Sprinkle with remaining ingredients and toss to coat.  Place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Cover and bake 20 minutes.  Turn potatoes and continue baking another 20 minutes or until browned.

NOTE:  As a diabetic you should not eat potatoes by themselves.  These are good with burgers, steaks, chicken, fish, etc. which are high in protein.

VANILLA POUND CAKE

2 1/2 cups reduced-fat baking mix (Bisquick)

1 1/2 cups Equal Sugar Lite

2 tbsp cornstarch

1 cup light vanilla flavored nonfat yogurt

6 tbsp stick butter or margarine, melted

1/4 cup 2% milk

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp almond extract

Combine baking mix, Equal Sugar Lite and cornstarch in a mixing bowl.  Mix in yogurt, melted butter, milk, eggs and flavorings until well blended.

Spoon mixture into well greased Bundt pan.  Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Let cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Carefully remove cake from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Serve with fresh berries.

 

Enjoy!
