Eating, Drinking and Getting a Six Pack

A Guide to Getting the Best Abs and Six Pack.

Did you know that there are a variety of foods and drinks that you can consume that on the surface you may think are bad for you (but can actually aid muscle growth and definition).

For example: Did you know that:

Red Wine drunk in moderation (maximum 1-2 glasses a day) can have a beneficial effect on the gut. This is actually based on a research study based on a study of people who drank this amount. The study by American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2012 found that people who had been drinking Red Wine had large amounts of good bacteria in their gut and lower amounts of bad bacteria in their gut.

By drinking safe amounts of Red Wine people can also get a positive response in relation to slowing down and moderating the blood sugar levels produced after a meal. By doing this the body's insulin levels are controlled, the appetite is reduced and it enables the body to stay lean and healthy.

What other foods can help you to get a six pack? There is growing evidence to suggest that not only do people eat too much but we need to return to the diet that are paleolithic ancestors enjoyed i.e. eating and enjoying natural food that were found in their environment, such as.


Fruits
Vegetables
Wild Fish (such as Salmon).
Eggs
Nuts
Seeds
Potatoes (yes this is a Carbohydrate - but some carbs can be good for a six pack).



Considering that our ancestors ate this diet for thousands of years research now suggests that this is a diet that we are programmed to eat (and should still be eating). This is called the Paleo diet (now a popular diet used to get lean). The only problem that we currently find with this diet is that food manufacturers and growers tend to modify the food i.e. genetically change the sweetness, appearance, the speed they grow and other key characteristics. For example did you know that wild blueberries have been found to have double the amount of antioxidants than cultivated blueberries.

So with this in mind it's important to take notice of what you eat as much as how much exercise you do. If you don't have a healthy diet then you are very unlikely to ever get a six pack and the kind of body that you ultimately want.
