People involved in bodybuilding often need to approach nutrition from a different point of view then the rest of us. While most people need to be concerned about limiting the amount of calories they consume per day, bodybuilders must ensure that they take in enough calories to compensate for those that they burn off during their workouts.

Because of this, many bodybuilders find that eating 5-6 meals spread out over the day works better for them then 3 larger meals. But how much should be eaten during each meal? Contrary to popular belief just because bodybuilders need more calories daily doesn t mean that they don t have to count too!

The key to establishing a beneficial diet to advance bodybuilding goals is simply to eat in moderation at every meal. One of the best ways to do this is with the Mediterranean diet.

A new diet on the anti-aging scene is the Perricone Prescription. It is not just a weight loss diet, but a way of eating that is supposed to soften wrinkles, firm the skin, reduce inflammation in the body, and increase energy. Dr. Perricone claims that in just three days, people will see the anti-aging effects of this diet.

The staples of the diet are anti-inflammatory foods such as salmon and blueberries. Perricone says foods such as sugar, pasta, bread, bananas and other starches contribute to inflammation in the body and speed up the aging process.

Whether you follow the Perricone Prescription or another healthy way of eating, you owe it to yourself to treat your body right. It will thank you with many years of feeling good, in addition to improving your overall health and well-being.
