Nutrition and Energy
We Recommend:
Essential 7
twice a day for the first month
and then one scoop a day there after.
Lots of factors, including many of the popular diets,
undermine us of the precious energy we need. Often, we are
attracted by advertising and social folklore to try to pick
ourselves up by taking multi-vitamins and other isolated
supplements or even by consuming large amounts of caffeine.
These efforts are useless and sometimes are even
counter-productive.
To live a life full of energy. We must feed our bodies with only
the best types of fuel. What we like to call God's
Greatest Hits
Here are some nutritional
guidelines:
Do not employ fad-diets that distort
natural nutritional balance. Most diets
skimping on fruits, veggies, carbohydrates, and proteins lead to
energy depleting deficiencies. When choosing a diet plan
for weight loss always include a whole-food supplement that is
going to replenish the nutrients you need without the calories.
We, of course, recommend Essential 7.
Making complex carbohydrates
a main part of your meal will supply you with the good calories
you need. These are the starchy foods, such as peas,
whole-grains, cereals, Whole-grain pasta, beans, and
whole-food breads. Stay away from the three whites: White
Sugar, White Bread, White Flour.
The best carbohydrates are
un-refined un- processed food; some examples are,
brown-rice, whole-wheat bread, and baked potatoes with the skin.
The body's preferred fuel is carbohydrates. Without
carbohydrates the body will burn proteins and fats - including
your organs and muscles. Fatigue inducing
toxic chemicals and other rampant free-radicals make low energy
victims get even worse.
If you must have them, always combine simple carbohydrates w/ a protein. Simple sugars carbs include
syrup, honey, sodas a many jucies, sweet snacks, plus more ,
more and more. Sugar provides a false
and short boost and almost always, in about an hour,
crashing you down lower than you were before.
Proteins and fibers will help pro-long the sugars in your bloodstream,
they are essential in
maintaining a healthy glucose level. Whole-food proteins
sources include nuts, dairy, meats, and beans.
Consume large amounts of fruits and vegetables,
preferably fresh ones. These foods are rich sources of essential
whole-food vitamins and minerals. Each serving of
Essential 7 is equal to the nutritional value of over 42
servings of veggies.
Fat is essential. Essential Fatty
Acids (oils) are a vital part of a
healthy diet plan. Healthy Fats should be twenty five to
thirty percent of your average consumption of
calories. It's vital to remember that fats help
coat our organs and keep our cells doing their jobs.
However, fats in high quantities such as those in fast foods and
dense desserts will make you drag. Chose home made foods
and desserts,
which always contain healthier better for you fats.
Get enough, but not too much protein.
The average meat eating individual consumes two or three X's the
recommended daily protein requirement. Most people need protein to be
about fifteen percent of the
daily calorie consumption. To much protein can result in a colon
waste build up
of toxins that will put stress on the kidneys. This will
shock the energy right out of you.
Do not rely on supplements alone for energy. While deficiencies of some
nutrients and minerals, specifically iron, folic acid, and
vitamin B-12, can cause
fatigue, supplements made of isolated ingredients provide no energy boost. Vitamins
from a pill do not provide
energy. Whole-food nutrition from a balanced diet and
supplements like Essential 7 do.
Give your body its' needs for essential nutrients from
wholefoods,
not multi-vitamins. There is almost always uncertainty whether
or not your daily
requirements are being met, Essential 7 once or twice a
day will meet any shortage the average person might have.
Red meats are the best food sources of iron.
Egg yolks, spinach and other green vegetables, dried fruits, beans, peas
and enriched whole-grain cereals are also good sources of iron.
Plant source iron is absorbed much better if consumed with a
wholefood rich in
vitamin C. Citrus fruits, juices, tomatoes or peppers.
Sources of folic acid are organs
(liver), green leafy
veggies, wheat and rice germ & bran, and dried beans.
Vitamin B-12 is mostly found in animal products: meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, yeast. However concentrated rice
bran is an excelent source. Vegans should
really consider a supplement. Essential 7
Protein
is a wake-up food that should be a large part of breakfast combined with
complex carbohydrates. It is better to eating several
small meals through out the day is better than 1 or 2 large ones,
which may cause a fast drop in energy.
Do not skip meals or go on fasts except
for cleansing. A lack of food causes blood
glucose
levels to dive, and the likely result is a feeling of
irritability and fatigue. Like-wise, the quick in - quick
out cycle of
bulimia is very energy depleting and
dangerous.
Pay
attention to the outcome alcohol has and use it in moderation.
Alcohol is a depressant and can cause sudden sleepiness.
Don't Drink and Drive.
Do not rely on caffeine for a boost. Caffeine is addictive
and a dependant is way more likely to feel tired
between its consumption. A regular sleeping pattern is a much better
alternative.
Physical exercise has a direct effect
on the amount of energy one has. Try to
get some in regularly. Regular moderate exercise is not only
important to the processing of food, it is very energy enhancing.
Often used muscles need less energy to accomplish an individual task,
thus, you do not become as tired.
Exercise has a calming effect that counteracts the
stress that so often robs us of our energy. Exercising in the morning
increases day-time
energy also reduces stress. Exercising in the evening is
calms and betters the restful R.E.M. sleep. Exercise does not take time, it
makes it.
Energy, it seems, like time can be found
by doing the right things. We hope for you a better, more
energy full life!
