L- Leucine

L- Leucine

L- Leucine further developed Muscle Mass. Leucine might assist with recuperating skin and bones, increment muscle size and lift fit weight (one explanation jocks frequently take leucine for muscle development), per the University of Rochester Medical Centre.

leucine foods

There are many dietary sources for leucine and other BCAAs. Consider these healthy sources of amino acids:

1. Salmon

Get your amino acids from salmon, and you’ll also get omega-3 fatty acids. There are some health concerns about farmed salmon. Choose wild-caught or limit your servings per month.

2. Chickpeas

These nutritional superstars contain 7g of protein and 6g of fiber in just half a cup, and they are high in iron, too. Enjoy them as hummus or add them to soups, stews, curries, and salads.

3. Brown Rice

Try brown rice instead of white. You’ll get a nutty taste and a slightly chewy texture that many people enjoy.4. Eggs

Even the American Heart Association says that an egg a day is okay. You’ll get 6g of protein in that egg.

5. Soybeans

This versatile legume is available in a variety of forms, including tofu, tempeh, edamame, and roasted soybeans. Today, texturized soy protein is readily available in supermarkets. It can substitute meat in many dishes.

6. NutsAlmonds, Brazil nuts, and cashews are good sources of essential amino acids. So are peanuts, although they are technically legumes instead of nuts.

7. Beef
Beef is one of the best sources of amino acids. To reduce your intake of fats and cholesterol, choose a lean cut or try grass-fed beef.

Stomach Bloating

Stomach Bloating

Do any of you ever experience stomach bloating? It is one of the most common complaints from my clients.
For some it is just an accepted part of their day. They often wake up feeling ‘flat’ and as the day goes on they feel full and this can be accompanied by a physical distension. For others it is more problematic as it comes with pain and discomfort, sometimes resulting in food avoidance as eating generally seems to trigger the symptoms. Bloating occasionally may be of no real concern, but if it is something you are experiencing regularly, it is worth looking into it.

Bloating Symptoms

It can feel like a balloon being pumped inside of you and in fact it may be due to too much gas. We can take in air when we are eating and some foods can cause a more gassy feeling others but it is important to note that we do not, in ourselves, produce gas; it is our microbiome ( the bacteria that lives largely in our gut – I have spoken about this in previous posts). Some foods, like beans or pulses, result in a little extra gas production but it should not lead to huge discomfort.
If there is a notable level of discomfort, it indicates a possible imbalance in the microbiome in favour of groups of bacteria that do naturally produce more gas. Constipation can also cause that full, bloated feeling, as well as IBS and an imbalanced microbiome could be a contributing factor to these too.
In a consultation, we will want to go upstream of that and look at possible reasons for imbalance. I will look at the make-up of the diet, possible digestive issues and other factors, like certain medications that can impact the microbiome. In Nutritional Therapy we always want to look at why you are experiencing any issue.
Depending when and where the bloating occurs, this will tell me a bit about what is going on. There are tests available that analyse the make-up of our individual microbiome and look at digestion. This can really direct where we go to address issues such as bloating.
It is important to note that bloating can be a consequence of more serious issues.  So it is always advisable to go to your GP in the first instance to get their opinion. Once this is done, looking at dietary choices and digestive function can be way to make a difference.
Any thoughts or questions on bloating are, as always, welcome.

Vitamins

Most people know that vitamins are, as the word suggests, nutrients vital to well-being. But what’s not as well known is that no one nutrient is capable of optimally supporting health all by itself.

nutrient can only function optimally in the presence of other nutrients, such as essential minerals and other vitamins. That’s one reason nutrition authorities encourage people to consume a diet that primarily consists of whole foods, which naturally contain a wide variety of vitamins and their beneficial cofactors.

Vitamins benefits

It’s also why high-quality multivitamin/mineral supplements provide such a wide range of nutrients: This approach allows each nutrient or mineral to function optimally within the body.

1. Although technically not a B vitamin, choline is often classified as part of the B-complex because it works closely with other compounds in this class
2. A member of the B nutrient family
3. Folic acid supplementation can mask B12 deficiency; see a practitioner for appropriate testing before use

NOTE: Optimal dosages will vary from person to person; some people may need dosages higher than the Recommended Daily Allowance. Consult a practitioner who can help you formulate an individualized supplementation plan.
