👉 We are often assertive on our needs and rights being different from men, then why not acknowledge the same when it comes to our health?
The male human body is designed to be CATABOLIC in nature. There is constant breakdown of nutrient and tissues to support the process of Spermatogenesis.
👉 Spermatogenesis is the process of s***m production that happens when FSH Is released. Semen consists of carbohydrates, free form amino acids, certain enzymes, prostaglandins and minerals like potassium and zinc.
👉 Women on the other hand are ANABOLIC Body types. This is because we require the nourishment and nutrients to build the corpus luteum in anticipation of a pregnancy that sheds in our menstrual cycle if no fertilization occurs. This way the need for fats, Vitamin D, E and iron rich foods is higher to support this biological process.
👉 These are fundamental processes of our existence that we tend to pass on. These are one of the few reasons why nutritive requirements are different
For men and women.
So how do we manage this difference in our busy lives and batch meal prepping?
✨Know your individual nutritional needs
✨Focus on the getting your most important minerals unique to your needs. The other can be consumed through common meal choices.
✨ Prep Ingredients instead of the entire meals. This allows for more flexibility and meeting your unique needs becomes easy.
✨ Focus on sustaining instead of panicking. You may not get everything everyday but if you can manage it over a few days or even through out the week like getting enough fat, vitamin D or even squeezing in exercise, the long term goal is to do it regularly rather than focus on the smaller details.
These are a few ways in which you can focus on achieving sustainable habits for your health and wellbeing.
