BMR

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure per a unit time at rest. It can be expressed in units ranging from watts, milliliters of oxygen consumption per minute, or joule per hour per kilogram of body mass. The amount of oxygen an individual takes in and utilizes at rest is equal to 3.5 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute or one Metabolic equivalent to oxygen consumption referred to as one MET. METs estimate the intensity of aerobic activities based on oxygen consumption during and compared to a resting state. Proper measurement of BMR may be met by assigning specific criteria. BMR may also be expressed as calories needed to maintain normal basic physiological function. This is the minimal number of calories necessary for normal function not including any activity. BMR can be calculated by using several equations. The Harris-Benedict is one of the most popular equations for calculating BMR. BMR may also be referred to as resting metabolic rate (RMR). RMR and activity are obviously very important to successful nutrition programs. Muscle or lean body mass is a very metabolically active tissue. Increasing muscle helps boost BMR. More muscle equates to a greater caloric expenditure long term. Basal metabolic rate is an excellent tool for healthy nutrition programs. The daily caloric intake must be adequate to keep the body healthy. Therefore, drastically depleting daily caloric intake or nutrients could have a profound detrimental impact on resting metabolic rate if continued for an extended time period. Sometimes the affect may be reversed, but if followed too long may cause permanent impairment. We encourage everyone to consume adequate calories and nutrients to promote healthy body functions and metabolism. Eat smart and please view tpnbodyperfect.com

Foods for mental health

The foods we consume can have a  profoun d   impact  on  mental health. A diet can be created that benefits brain development, cognitive function, and slowing the aging process to decrease the risk of conditions like Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The remainder of this document will discuss foods that  will   have  a positive effect on mental processes, diseases, and health.   This is a review of some foods that have  a  positive  effect on mental health and cognitive processes. Popeye may have been much smarter than most of us realize. Spinach is believed to slow cognitive decrements associated with the aging process and risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Eggs are considered a super food. The egg white is rich in protein and the yolk contains choline which is a  water - soluble  nutrient that improves memory, focus,  and  cognitive  performance. Red meat is very often higher in saturated fat than  other  protein sources. Although this is true, red meat is an e

Diets

The word diet is where some problems begin. Normal metabolisms can make healthy nutrition programs reasonably easy to calculate. One problem with the word diet is that it insinuates that the client will be deprived of calories or nutrients. Although changes must be made, individuals have converted meals   from two to four per day and never felt severely deprived, shaky, sick, or like they have the flu while reaching body fat or weight goals. Another problem with the word diet is that ninety percent of known diet programs are not particularly successful after a one-year time frame. Nine out of eleven top listed diets are not proven successful after one year according to market research. The reason for this is generally because of severe deprivation of calories or specific macronutrients that may benefit metabolism very short term, but not long term and may detrimental. The keys to healthy nutrition programs are appropriate daily caloric intake, percentages of macronutrients, and   foo

TPN questions 2

What makes this program better than the rest? Everyone can reach a goal weight or body fat and maintain it.  TPN is tailored.   The categories designed make programs tailored to very specific needs of the client. TPN is precise.   It allows the clients to achieve a very targeted body weight or fat percentage. Many programs are far from tailored and far from healthy.  Many systems are nothing more than a lesson in portion control. A retired former professional football player should not be selecting from the same meals and eating the same number as his female counterpart.  He lost 32 pounds, but still looks quite round.  Did he lose muscle or fat? I know these two people should not be using the same caloric breakdown.  "The meals show up at the door and I eat them “Sounds awful.  Who wants to eat like that?    TPN provides numerous meal plans. We believe in eating fresh, less processed food as possible. We wish to empower people to a lifetime of nutrition management.  The goal
