      Introduction

      The Nutrition Now book covers two unique diet plans with the Quinoa Cookbook and the Metabolism Diet. You can easily plan your menus for a couple of weeks without ever repeating a recipe. Each recipe in this book calls for healthy choices in foods. Make positive changes to your lifestyle by starting with nutrition and these diets. If you cook and eat the recipes in this book, you will be off to a good start.

      The quinoa cookbook has recipes that feature quinoa of course. Quinoa is a super food and is thus named because of the nutrition it contains. The thought is by eating super foods your body's immune system will strengthen and you will be healthier because you can fight off infections easier. Many of the recipes in both sections of this book contains other super foods that are packed with nutrition. The body uses the nutrition which comes in the form of vitamins and minerals. In particular foods high in anti oxidants help the body to fight off free radicals. Free radicals cause detrimental illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and other debilitating conditions.

      All the recipes in this book are healthy and nutritious. You can easily pick from both sections if you are aiming for a more nutritious lifestyle. If you are wanting to just eat healthier you can read through and pick your favorites and mix and match. If you wish to lose weight, you are in luck because both diet plans will help towards that end as well. You may wish to start with the metabolism if weight loss is your main goal because by boosting your metabolism you will have the energy to exercise and this will help you to lose the weight faster. Quinoa is a good metabolism boosting food too so the recipes in that section will work for weight loss as well.

      There are many excellent health benefits to boosting the metabolism. The energy levels in the body are increased as the metabolism is raised. When the metabolism is raised the body can burn off more calories and melt off the fat easier. A raised metabolism will help the body to rest better at night. Getting a good night's sleep is also an energy booster. The wonderful thing about raising the metabolism is that the body will continue to burn off excessive calories even while it is at rest.

      A person with a higher metabolism is better able to lose weight. When you get to going on the metabolism diet your body will actually need more food to burn, which means you can eat more and still lose weight or maintain your weight loss. If you skimp on your meals, the body will slow the metabolism to hang onto the food in your body and help to fatten the body. It sounds like irony, but if the metabolism is boosted, it needs fuel to keep it going. Food is energy. Well, the right types of food are energy. Junk food just turns into fat.

      If you have this extra energy you have to do something as an outlet to expend it. That's the big benefit to raising the metabolism, is you will have the energy to get up and exercise. The lack of exercise hurts so many people. Being sedentary is not healthy. The body is built to move and it functions so much better if there is good movement. Exercise will help you to lose weight faster and it will help you to be healthier. Exercising helps the body to release endorphins, which will add an extra umph to those good feelings you get when you have a good workout. Endorphins are natural substances the body releases when it has experienced some good physical activity. It is a natural high, helping to stop depression and bringing on a good feeling mentally and emotionally as well as physically. Boosting the metabolism helps this to happen.

      Exercise only needs to be done every other day for about a half an hour to be effective. This is the least amount you need to do. You can do more if you want, by increasing it to an hour workout or doing it daily. The important thing is that you commit to at least half an hour every other day in order to expend the energy your body has stored from the metabolism boosting diet.

      When exercising, it is important to do it in a way that benefits the body. It will do more harm than good if you jump in and do 30 minutes of a strenuous exercise without first prepping the body. Do a 10 minute warm up first by stretching all the muscles. Then afterward do a cool down and again stretch the muscles. This helps to make the muscles more pliable so they will give you a better workout and it also helps to stop them from being too sore after the workout.

      When doing workouts you need to make sure you have drunk plenty of water before hand and continue to drink plenty of water afterwards. In fact is it wise to make drinking water all throughout the day a habit. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep the body hydrated and it works with the body to pull the nutrients from the nutritious foods. Water helps to keep the body cleansed too. Skip the sugared drinks and focus on water only.

      Before you embark on any change in lifestyle through dieting and exercise always seek the counsel of your health care provider. It is important to make sure you are healthy. Have a physical and make sure there is nothing lurking, like high cholesterol or high blood pressure. The good news is that most of these health issues can be treated with dieting alone. Discuss your goals with them and make sure you can exercise and diet with the recipes within this book. Stick with the plan and once you start, keep your focus on your health.

      Section 1: Quinoa Cookbook

      Foreword

      Health or wealth? Often we feel pushed into a corner by asking ourselves to opt for luxury or a life without physical discomfort. This book will lead us just how old knowledge of the Incas helps modern life, to draw fresh energy from the newly discovered quinoa. Simple tasty food with high nutritional content builds the bridge connecting our lifestyle with the health of our youth. 2013 has been declared as the year of quinoa. This book sheds light on the reasons.

      Introduction: Do we grow old too fast?

      Modern life gives us many conveniences and facilities that our forefathers could not enjoy. At the same time we feel pressure, caused by the high speed, our life proceeds in front of our eyes with. Often as we slither unnoticed in this cycle we wonder its effects, and eventually the mirror and the doctor give us with a wagging finger bids of limitations and to waive restrictions on what sweetens our daily lives. Is that really fair?

      We are just looking for a little compensation from the ubiquitous stress, and fast food, a small bar of chocolate here and there just are the price we have to pay for a high level lifestyle. But are we in fact forced to acquire an unhealthy lifestyle, just to enjoy more luxury? Or is there not the possibility to connect it all together and be happy and satisfied? Many profound questions, but the solution may be easier than most people believe.

      If we reach a point where we notice that the button does not reach the buttonhole and more and our clothes no longer fit, we admit our radiant youth seems to disappear too quickly. No one turns their head around for us which often causes a frustrating feeling. We feel our advancing age, and we would give anything to be able to reset the clock again. The good news is that this is quite possible in certain limits. All we need is to adopt a new way of life.

      Our food takes on the central role. Without healthy food, nothing will work. But who is longing for agonizing long diets with continuous hunger that keeps us from our work? It seems that we are in a cycle from which we cannot escape. Far from it! We are actually able to build a better life than we could ever enjoy before.

      To combine the comfort of adulthood with the advantages of youth, this is the solution envisaged by anyone, and that is exactly what we want to achieve with this description. Our new lifestyle is characterized by the idea of absence of compulsion and urge and we just want to get more out of our lives. And the more we deal with casual diet, the more often we stumble over quinoa. Quinoa is touted as a miracle food worldwide and receives praise for taste and health effects by all nutrition specialists. Maybe we look at what quinoa is and why it deserves our full attention. So what is quinoa?

      What is quinoa?

      In most dishes, we find that quinoa replaces grain of any kind. But technically it is not a grain, but seeds like peas or lentils. Cereals are also seeds, but they all grow on grassy plants from wheat to corn. Quinoa (also spelled quinoa) is so new that we do not even know to refer to quinoa as her or it, but it is clear that it is a plant from the Amaranths family that is related to the orach, a native weed.

      The plant grows vigorously upright with diamond-shaped leaves that get smaller towards the top. Some varieties reach a height of nearly 2m, while others are only knee-high, some varieties develop a strong red-brown color with very dark seeds, others are green or bluish green with beige, off-white seeds. The inflorescence is somewhat reminiscent of millet and is interspersed with a few leaves. In his homeland, quinoa climbs in the Andes to dizzying heights, proving its endurance and robustness. The seeds look like small white or brown-red lenses.

      If we look at these small, about 2mm granules, involuntarily the question arises how they can improve our life style. The big difference in comparison to grain lies, of course, in the nutrients. The table with the percentage analysis might give us an answer to our question, but we will find that the quinoa is far superior to grain of any kind and is considered a complete protein provider. Many other good features make quinoa more than just a saturating food.
