Calorie Counting - The body effects

I'm going to keep this short and simple:

If you eat a lot of food, and a lot of it you don't need, your body has to do something with it and it stores it as fat for energy consumption later on.

If you don't eat a lot of food and miss out what your body needs, your body breaks down essential areas of the body - muscle, energy stores and more to keep you alive.

Both are very dangerous and can lead to many health problems, some of which are:

• High blood pressure

• High cholesterol

• Osteoarthritis caused by wearing down of cartilage and bone

• High trigyceride levels

• Type 2 diabetes

• Sleep apnea

• Respiratory problems

• Coronary heart disease

• Gallbladder disease

• Stroke

• Increased risk of endometrial, breast and colon cancer

These are just a few, there are more.

Vice versa, if you do not eat enough these are some of the things you can develop:

• Heart erosion

• Poor circulation

• Irregular heartbeat

• Infertility

• Irregular menstruation

• Risk of bone fracture

• Osteoporosis

• Slowing of digestion

• Dry hair and skin

• Restlessness

To name a few.

In summary, keep everything in a good balance, eat a good portion of protein, carbs and some fats - if you need any advice on how these hsould be split up, please get in touch!
