An apple a day can help you in reducing weight

When you are hungry after gym you crave for food, That's because you are low on energy and your stomach is empty. Craving for food is caused by a  hormone called ghrelin, that  turn on cravings when our stomach is empty. Hormones are the messengers that influence how we feel, and how fast our body stores fat. If you let yourself go hungry, your cravings will be too intense to resist. Trick to stay full and suppress your appetite is to eat the fruits full with fibre content, before or after your meal. 

Start your day with an apple. Apples are low in fat and calories and loaded with fibre. These fibre keep your stomach full for longer and suppress your appetite. There is a soluble fibre in apple called pectin, which reduces the amount of sugar and calories that absorbed in your bloodstream after a meal. Even the people who sank their teeth in an apple for 15 minutes before meal they consume fewer calories than those who consume apple juice or apple sauce.

There are other foods that can suppress your appetite. Here is the list

Pine- nuts, Salad, Whey protein, Beans, Avocado, Flax Seed, Green tea, Water, Oatmeal etc.

How long can you refrigerate food?

We always pick so many food item from the grocery and store it into the refrigerator for longer time. But we never thought how long do freezer food really keep? As we think that frozen food remain safe indefinitely as long as your refrigerator is plugged in. However technically,  the foods which is kept  forever, do not actually taste as earlier.

Many people think it is not safe to eat any product after the date on the label (Expiration date), and if they do they will get food poisoning. Because there is average lifespan of some common foods.But expiration dates are not as clear cut as they seems, and sometime perfectly fine food makes you ill or cause food poisoning. The problem is, expiration dates do not indicate what we think they do.

As a general rule of thumb, frozen food will keep for three months in a standard home freezer before starting to show signs of freezer burn.Freezer burn is a common problem in which food packages covers with frost and sucks the moisture out of then and when you cook this type of food they will lack  good flavour and texture.

If you are storing foods in plastic bags, be sure to follow the guideline of food and drug administration for safe storage. sometimes the flavour can be changed due to storage of  its limited time.So to avoid this type of problem, make a chart for your refrigerated item, and use your food items at the right time.
