Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK), with its suite
of food allergy and dietary restriction apps, including ContentChecked,
MigraineChecked and SugarChecked, is carrying the torch for those who strive to
eat healthy and make more informed dietary purchasing decisions, broadcasting
its message of hope through media waves in print, audio and video.
Recently, Tory Tedrow, a registered dietitian at the
company, was quoted on The Daily Meal, a website covering food and drink
founded by Jim Spanfeller, a former CEO of Forbes.com. In The Daily Meal
article, titled ‘Nutritionists Suggest Cooking With These 12 Ingredients to
Boost Energy’ (http://dtn.fm/VGi7u), Tedrow, who is a Certified Nutrition
Support Clinician (CNSC), talked about the nutritional value of lentils,
saying:
“Lentils are a protein-packed, iron-rich food. Iron is
needed to create the oxygen-transporting protein hemoglobin. When people don’t
eat enough iron, they develop iron deficiency anemia and experience symptoms
such as general fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath due to the lack of
oxygen in their body. Combine iron-rich foods, such as lentils, with foods high
in vitamin C, such as oranges, to maximize iron absorption.”
Tedrow can also be found on YouTube talking about the SugarChecked
app and the pros and cons of low-carb diets. As she pointed out, carbohydrates
are essential for the body to function normally. For example, the brain uses
carbs as its source of fuel and requires about 100 grams daily to support
cognitive function throughout the day. It cannot use fats or proteins. Grains,
rice and potatoes are often included in any discussion of a low-carb diet,
however, it must be noted that carbs can be found in dairy, legumes (beans),
vegetables and fruits. Fruits especially high in carbs include bananas,
oranges, apples, grapefruit and blueberries.
Tedrow explained that, more often than not, a low-carb diet
simply reduces water weight. Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the
muscles and liver, and roughly three to four grams of water are required for
the body to retain one molecule of glycogen. When the level of glycogen falls,
the water is shed and weight is lost. A low-carb diet will generally not affect
levels of protein and fat.
