Desserts
Every time, I am going to share with you an experience of a kind that has changed my entire perception on life and have left me the most beautiful woman. On June 25, 2013, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, which is a debilitating autoimmune-chronic inflammatory disorder that affects both the lower digestive tract and the organs surrounding the digestive tract. As one might imagine, it causes many symptoms. Of course, this disease can affect anybody from children to adults. The way I view myself and my surroundings has been completely gone. One of those things involves desserts. When you think about desserts, you automatically think about chocolate cake, truffles and creams. To understand what a delicious dessert is without any doubt, we must talk about dessert’s history and what they are known as. Let us begin by talking about their origins. It’s said that desserts were created in Ancient Egypt when Pharaoh pharoahs used them for food enjoyment. These cakes are called halava or mocha. In addition, the word “dessert” comes from the Arabic word “disīq” that means to eat something sweet. A more recent theory suggests that the name originated due to the fact that in ancient times people ate the bones of animals and fruits from trees that were deemed edible. There are a variety of desserts and in today’s world, there are no restrictions whatsoever. You can find almost anything imaginable in the world. People just have the idea of eating dessert. However, if you don’t know where to start, let me tell you a secret: desserts are not only desserts! They are a huge part of culture whether that be through music, art and even cuisine. From popcorn to cheese curd and everything else under the sun, desserts are at the ready for all your needs. So, whether you like ice cream or chocolate cake, I am here to help you enjoy a deliciously wonderful experience that may help in improving your health or changing your perspective on life. This article will show how desserts have become such common and essential dishes among Americans that there are a number of restaurants that cater exclusively to various desserts. Regardless of their name or origin, desserts are an extremely important ingredient of a healthy diet.
What Are Different Types?
Desserts fall into several different categories. Some are quick and easy; others take some time. We need to delve into each category and learn more about the type of desserts. First, the first category is the easiest to understand – cookies and other baked goods. Cookies and cakes are known to contain high levels of dietary fiber, a compound found in plants that serves us well and may reduce the risk of heart disease. Second, the second category includes desserts made of fruit, yogurt/cheese, vegetables, nuts, seafood and milk. Third, we have bread and desserts made from grains. Fourth, we have desserts made from soy. Fifth, there is pie and pudding (although pies are not baked). Lastly, we have smoothies, soaps, yoghormas/tinctures, juice cleanses and honey. Do you remember my story? Well, each of these types of desserts has its own unique characteristics that make them quite special.
Dietary Fiber
Dietary fiber is extremely important because it slows down digestion and reduces inflammation. While it does not necessarily decrease blood pressure or cholesterol levels, it increases fiber intake for a few reasons. Most of the soluble fiber found in foods – such as hemp seeds, psyllium species plant fibers like psyllium parkinsonianum, psyllium humile, psyllium leucorrhoea, psyllium longipotenceum, psyllium uvarum, psyllium vivadlum and psyllium bilineinate in the United States – slows digestive processes. That’s why one of the biggest advocates of low-fiber diets is Dr. Robert Lustig. Lustig believes that fiber is critical for good health. In addition, he claims that fibre slows down the absorption of cholesterol and decreases risk of heart disease. He also says fiber regulates blood sugar by reducing insulin resistance. But, did you know that fibre contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids? These kinds of chemicals are known to inhibit cholesterol absorption thus lowering blood pressure. Other benefits associated with fibre include reduced risk of cancer, reduced risk of high blood sugar, reduced risk of diabetes, reduced risk of depression, increased immunity and decreased risk of obesity and chronic diseases like anxiety and mental illness as well as decreased weight gain. Research shows that low fiber intake is associated with reduced depression and improved depression, decreased appetite and improved energy levels. For all the above reasons, we recommend maintaining at least 50–60 grams of daily fibre (or roughly 1 teaspoon) per day. If you do choose to add fiber during your diet, be sure you drink enough water with it. Drinking at least 3 glasses of water along with your meals every day can increase muscle mass and lower body fat, while drinking less water and consuming excess calories will likely cause weight loss.
Males versus Females
There is much controversy regarding whether women have a greater nutritional value than males. Generally speaking, research indicates that men have a higher amount of dietary fiber, minerals and micronutrients, especially iron. While women generally have higher amounts of protein, most studies indicate that women have a higher level of vitamins B and C, copper and zinc, although a small range of dietary minerals, particularly zinc and vitamin B12. Men tend to have higher intakes of Vitamin E, Omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acid intake while women tend to have higher quantities of vitamin A, Omega 2, Vitamin C and Vitamin A. Female nutritionists are also concerned about differences in breast tissue. According to research from Virginia Tech, female breast tissue contains up to 30% more cholesterol than male breast tissue. Women tend to consume larger amounts of saturated fats, a type of fat that are mostly linked to cancer, while men consume smaller amounts. Another concern about gender and nutrition is the difference in bone density. Male data has shown that women have stronger bone density while women have an equally strong bone density. Researchers believe that females lose bone mass at a faster rate than males. Therefore, women should always consult with a doctor first before making a change to improve their health.
Diet and Weight Gain
Another issue that goes around is that of the link between diet and weight gain. Since obesity is a major threat to anyone’s health, it seems necessary to make changes in our diet. Obesity rates are increasing year after year all over the country, but they are not entirely as bad as they may seem. Experts say that more than 40% of adults in the US meet the criteria for obesity. Although more progress is being made toward encouraging more exercise and staying active, excessive caloric amounts should never overshadow the importance of having healthy habits like chewing vegetables, which helps in preventing food cravings and keeping calorie intake under control. Healthy snacks such as whole grain crackers, avocado, dates, berries, walnuts, apples, olives, cucumber, celery, parsley, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, tomatoes of all colors all season round makes for great snack options. Also keep in mind that grains aren’t just for grains – they can nourish bacteria that create beneficial microbes in your gut that help the body stay fit. Talk with your doctor or nutritionist before embarking on a fad diet. Otherwise, try incorporating these healthy snacks into your diet and see what happens. And, when it comes to weight and weight control, experts agree that all calories should add up to 100%. Keep in mind that all fat calories are not the same so it is best to stick to the guidelines set forth, which include an average BMI of 18.5–24.9. Additionally, a BMI of 24–39.9 would qualify someone who weighs 125 pounds for overweight and a BMI of 40–54.9 for obesity. By following these guidelines, you will feel healthier and have less chance of becoming obese. Remember, obesity is serious and you need to take preventative measures.

Going outside often will help you stay physically active and boost your immune system. Go for hikes. Join a local hiking group or participate in an outdoor workout class and get involved in community involvement. Exercise regularly and engage in moderate workouts such as strength training, endurance training or yoga once or twice a week. Get yourself checked for thyroid issues early on and seek medical advice if you experience symptoms. Never force yourself to lose weight either. Stay mindful of hunger cues, portion size and keep calories low. Exercise and eat healthy and avoid sugary drinks. Avoid taking alcohol in excess; it puts extra strain on joints. And avoid trans fats. Try incorporating fish oils and other natural supplements into your diet, which are very powerful in helping burn fat and promote wellness. Make sure to drink lots of water and limit caffeine consumption which is known to lead to unwanted side effects like dehydration. Finally, avoid using gluten based products, dairy proteins and refined grains. Use these ingredients in moderation. Just remember to drink plenty of water throughout your day and always check for your blood sugar as it tends to fluctuate daily. Know your body; it's definitely better than the label "healthy" tells it!
