NYC Bans Trans Fats

This is a BIG WIN for us in the fitness industry who have been keeping higher consciousness around better policies regarding the use of TRANSFATS.

I was leafing through my daily eMails when I was shocked to find out that NYC is now BANNING TRANSFAT in Food Service Establishments.

I am so happy!  This is a step in the right direction.  This ban does not include pre-packed products but it stops restaurants from

serving cooked or prepared foods that are designed to eat right off the plate or out of the cup and makes them alter their recipes so they

Do not include transfat.
NEXT STEPS

• Let's get this done in NJ and in every state!
• Create Law that does not allow transfat to be used in high volume food production

READ MORE ABOUT THE BAN:
Beginning July 1, 2008:
No food containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, shortenings, or margarines with 0.5 grams or more trans fat per serving may be stored, used, or served by food service establishments.
The regulation does not apply to food served in the manufacturer's original, sealed packaging, such as a package of crackers or a bag of potato chips.

Basic Facts on Trans Fat
What is trans fat? Trans fat is a type of fat that raises the risk of heart disease. While some trans fat occurs naturally,
most is artificial. The regulation addresses only artificial trans fat, which is the main dietary source of trans fat.
What is artificial trans fat? Artificial trans fat is manufactured through a chemical process. It is found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Foods that contain artificial trans fat include margarines, shortenings, and fry oils, as well as many baked good, mixes, and packaged foods.

Why is trans fat so bad? Trans fat is the most dangerous type of dietary fat. It increases bad (LDL) cholesterol and lowers good (HDL) cholesterol. Conservative estimates suggest that trans fat is responsible for at least 500 deaths from heart disease in New York City each year. Trans fat has no known health benefits, and there is no harmless level of artificial trans fat consumption.

What oils should you use in you own cooking? Enova(soybean and canola blend), canola, olive, sunflower, safflower, grape seed, and soybean oils are light/medium duty oils that all contain 0g of trans fat. These oils can be used for salad dressings, marinades, sautéing, and stir frying. Please note all oils contain about 120 calories per tablespoon and do contain varying levels of heart healthy mono and poly unsaturated fats. All oils also contain varying levels of saturated fats. Read your labels.

How do you avoid trans fats in packaged foods? Look under Total Fats on your nutrition food label. Choose products that report 0g trans fats. Products can state 0g of trans fat if they contain less than 0.5g of trans fat per serving. To completely avoid trans fats, look under the ingredients lists. Avoid any product that lists partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated oil as one of its ingredients. For more information visit www.notransfatnyc.org

6 Reasons to Drink Water... "Think about it, try it on for just 21 days"

At tilt we are have a great time with boot camp.  Boot Camp can be very dangerous for people who do not drink enough water.

 Here are six reasons to make sure you're drinking enough water or other fluids every day:

1. Drinking Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids. Your body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.

2. Water Can Help Control Calories. For years, dieters have been drinking lots of water as a weight loss strategy. While water doesn't have any magical effect on weight loss, substituting it for higher calorie beverages can certainly help.

Food with high water content tends to look larger, its higher volume requires more chewing, and it is absorbed more slowly by the body, which helps you feel full. Water-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, oatmeal, and beans.

3. Water Helps Energize Muscles. Cells that don't maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue.

Drinking enough fluids is important when exercising. Follow the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for fluid intake before and during physical activity. These guidelines recommend that people drink about 17 ounces of fluid about two hours before exercise. During exercise, they recommend that people start drinking fluids early, and drink them at regular intervals to replace fluids lost by sweating.

4. Water Helps Your Kidneys. Body fluids transport waste products in the out of cells. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen, a water-soluble waste that is able to pass through the kidneys to be excreted in the urine.

When you're getting enough fluids, urine flows freely, is light in color and free of odor. When your body is not getting enough fluids, urine concentration, color, and odor increases because the kidneys trap extra fluid or bodily fuctions.

If you chronically drink too little, you may be at higher risk for kidney stones, especially in warm climates.

5. Water Helps Maintain Normal bowel Function. Adequate hydration keeps things flowing along your gastrointestinal tract and prevents constipation. When you don't get enough fluid, the colon pulls water from stools to maintain hydration - and the result is constipation.

 5 Tips to Help You Drink More  "Think about it, try it on for just 21 days" 

If you think you need to be drinking more, here are some tips to increase your fluid intake and reap the benefits of water:

1. Have  water  with every snack and meal.

2.  Add a drop of lemon or lime to spice it up a bit, you are more likely to drink more water if it is flavored.

3. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Their high water content will add to your hydration. About 20% of our fluid intake comes from foods.

4. Keep a bottle of water with you in your car, at your desk, or in your bag.

5. If you're watching calories, go for non-caloric water  instead of diet sodas and coffee or tea which rob your body of nutrients . 

Thank you and healthy regards,
