optimum topics

Here are some topics where there is some dispute amongst scholars:

• Optimum healthy fats ratios (bad vs good)
• Optimum macronutrient ratios (pro:cho:fat)
• Optimum weight loss/gain method (body recomposition)
• Optimum nutrition
• Optimum exercise

nkl research aims to analyze these topics.

Optimum healthy fats ratios (bad vs good)

There is uncertainty on how different fats affect the human physiology and how the proper ratios between these fats need to be set up in a diet to achieve optimum health.

Optimum macronutrient ratios (pro:cho:fat)

Advice on the optimum macronutrient ratio need to be revised to accomodate different needs, to promote optimum health.

Optimum weight loss/gain method (body recomposition)

There is a plethora of diets to choose for weigh loss, or less common, weight gain, to achieve a body recomposition. The aim is to find optimal methods to achieve these goals, while maintaining optimum health.

Optimum nutrition

Advice on healthy food choices need to be revised. Nutrient quality, toxicity, anti-nutrients and other health related factors need to be taken in consideration to avoid unhealthy food choices. Optimum nutrition also take into consideration the optimum preparation and cooking of meals, digestion, absorbtion, and subsequent use of the ingested nutrients.

Optimum exercise

Advice on how to exercise properly to optmize results needs to be revised.
