Healthy foods

Chicken Health Benefits

Carbohydrates, Calories and Fat
Chicken is a carbohydrate-free food. According to NutritionData, skinless chicken breast provides the least amount of calories and fat, about 143 calories, 3g total fat and 1g saturated fat for half of a large boneless, skinless breast, or a 95g serving. Dark meat is higher in fat. About 86g of dark meat without skin provides 165 calories and 8g total fat, 2g of which are saturated. This nutrition information is for chicken that has been stewed without added fat.
Vitamins
Chicken is a rich source of two B vitamins: niacin or vitamin B3 and vitamin B6. A 4-ounce portion meets 40 and 16 percent respectively of the recommended daily value, or DV. The most important function of niacin is in helping to release energy from carbohydrates. It also aids in the formation of red blood cells. The best food source of vitamin B6 is poultry. This nutrient performs the same functions as niacin but is also important for protein metabolism, is necessary for proper immune system function and helps produce certain neurotransmitters, or brain chemicals.
Minerals
A 4-ounce portion of chicken is also rich in two minerals, phosphorus and selenium, meeting 16 and 30 percent of the DV for each, respectively. Phosphorus is essential for healthy, strong bones and teeth and is a part of all cell membranes in the human body. This mineral also helps activate the B vitamins. Selenium is important for immune system function and aids in regulating the thyroid hormone.


Chicken is an excellent source of protein and low carb food.( Thus why fitness freaks and bodybuilders eat it heavily) Chicken along with fish and kangaroo are some of the only foods with high protein and low carbs. There's also not a lot of calories. Also very easy to cook and make if you have a George Foreman grill. It's something that I eat everyday.

The best Running Shoe

When it comes to running shoes there's so many of them in this over saturated market that it becomes over whelming with the amount of advertisement promoting different shoe companies. I've bought a lot of shoes in my time from Nike, ADIDAS, Reebok, Asics, Puma etc. and I must say Puma are by far my favorite shoes! They are best value for sure! I've had my puma's for almost 3 years and still wear them no ware and no tear! I got them for 50$ on sale, very light weight and comfortable. They are also stylish, the ones I bought came in red and lime green, you can't get that color anywhere else unless you customize them at a site like Nike ID which can be very costly. I think Puma's go under the radar as well because everyone think's Nike is the best! Nike's are good for about a year then you have to get a new pair they are cheaply made and not worth the money. People buy them because of the popularity factor. The Puma company even gives you a full money back if you're not satisfied with their product! You honestly can't beat that. The only downside is mine got dirty because they were kind of bright red, but it wasn't anything a washer couldn't resolve. Definitely check them out and see if Puma is a shoe you might like! Very high quality and best value as far as running shoes go!

Motivational quote of the day

 It matters not when you run, only that you run- Bruce lee

motivation

Be optimistic about what's happening around you and in your life. Though things may not go your way, Try to see them from other perspectives instead of just your own. Don't be selfish, think of what the problem is, is there a solution to the problem and act out to fix the problem. If the problem is of your hands and control then let it go. You can't have everything. The problem will only slow you down and lessen your progress.
