Eat before you exercise
Exercising on an empty stomach won't give you the fuel you need for a good workout. Provide your body with protein before exercise. Recommendations of experts include carbs and protein in a 3:1 ration and electrolytes for replacement during a strenous workout. Without adequate nutrition, your body will draw protein from muscles.
Blood sugar control
Yogurt with extra vitamin D may help people with diabetes control their blood sugar. Vitamin D seems to have a postive effect on individuals with type II diabetes.
Potassium and your blood pressure
Potassium is important in blood pressure control. So, it is important to eat sufficient potassium containing foods such as bananas, oranges, and plantains. This is particularly important if you taking diuretics which eliminate potassium along with excess fluids.
Colorectal cancer prevention
