GOOD FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR ENERGY/PROTEIN BAR PROJECT
GOOD FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR ENERGY/PROTEIN BAR Good nutrition practices help to fuel physical activity, in addition to sustaining normal bodily functions and the growth, development and repair of human body tissue. For those serious about their sport or exercise it is a well-accepted concept that diet can significantly affect performance. In order to achieve the quality of your training and maximize adaptations, it is essential that you consume a diet that matches the demands placed upon the body. They are often promoted as a quick snack, a meal replacement, or a supplement for your workout. Energy bars are also an excellent method of replenishing muscle energy stores after sport. For best results eat an energy bar 30-45 minutes before a race or workout or eat small amounts during your race or ride. Energy bars are being marketed heavily and a multitude of brands are available in supermarkets, drug stores, and health food stores. Energy bars are convenient, travel well, and contains reasonable amounts of fat, saturated fat, and sodium. Many are a good source of high quality protein without the cholesterol and saturated fat of high fat animal protein sources. Energy bars are easy to bring along with you and will not melt if they are exposed to heat all day. Energy bars have been part of the outdoor scene since the Crusades in the Middle Ages-and possibly before. Crusaders tucked an energy bar called the pan forte (a mix of flour, honey, shortening, nuts, and dried fruit) into their tunics to give a lift during long marches. However nutrition experts suggest no more than two to four per day for a moderate level of activity, supplementing a diet consisting largely of whole foods, whose complex blends of vitamins and nutrients cannot be duplicated in processed foods. Energy bars: a dietary supplement? US Congress defined the term "dietary supplement" in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. A dietary supplement is a product taken by mouth that contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to supplement the diet. The "dietary ingredients" in these products may include: vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and substances such as enzymes, organ tissues, glandular, and metabolites. Dietary supplements can also be extracts or concentrates, and may be found in many forms such as tablets, capsules, soft gels, gel caps, liquids, or powders. They can also be in other forms, such as a bar, but if they are, information on their label must not represent the product as a conventional food or a sole item of a meal or diet. Whatever their form may be, DSHEA places dietary supplements in a special category under the general umbrella of "foods," not drugs, and requires that every supplement be labeled a dietary supplement. The "new dietary ingredient" in a dietary supplement? The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 defined both of the terms "dietary ingredient" and "new dietary ingredient" as components of dietary supplements. In order for an ingredient of a dietary supplement to be a "dietary ingredient," it must be one or any combination of the substances like : â— A vitamin, â— A mineral, â— A herb or other botanical, â— An amino acid, â— A dietary substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake (e.g., enzymes or tissues from organs or glands), or A concentrate, metabolite, constituent or extract..
