Fitness: Foods That Infuse Your Body With Energy:
The brain knows when you are full, because the stomach sends a
signal to a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is 12
minutes “behind” the stomach. There is literally a 12 minute delay between
being full, and your body knowing you are full. When you stop eating before you
are full, you give your body a chance to recover energy.
That brings us to the next point, caffeine. I understand people
adore their coffee. I was once a coffee drinker, before I became interested in
health. Caffeine gives us energy because it opens up the capillaries in the
brain. The same effect can be had by deep breathing. The challenge comes when
the effect of caffeine wears off. The capillaries in the brain restrict causing
us to feel lethargic. Caffeine works because the body has to “speed up” to cope
with the dose of poison it’s been given.
Unfortunately, while alcohol has perceived benefits, it is pure
fermentation and decay, rotting sugar. It is absolutely toxic. Alcohol also
hinders our ability to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I highly
doubt that after a night of drinking one is motivated to grab their workout
bag and head out the door. On the contrary the body requires sleep to rid
itself of the toxins.
There are other things you also need to be aware of. White rice is
treated with
bleach. It starts out brown and is bleached to become white. What
about white flour? It’s also bleached. What about sugar or pasta? They too
have been bleached to give a false sense of purity. Would you go to your
laundry cupboard and drink bleach? That’s preposterous, yet most of us eat food
treated with bleach. Bleach has the effect of ripping the stomach lining - an
effect that is similar to the drug ecstasy. A report out of Germany states
“they’re putting fine pieces of cracked glass now in ecstasy, those pieces have
the effect of putting finite tears in the stomach lining enabling the substance
to enter the bloodstream more quickly."
Eating natural food will also return your body to a more wholesome
weight. It is bodybuilding from the inside, out.
Have you ever had the case of eating a big meal and immediately
afterwards having to go and raid the cupboard? Why is that? The brain has a
built in survival mechanism that when it senses the body is lacking nutrients,
it tells us to get hungry. That is the sense of hunger is the body telling us
it needs nutrients. If you suffer from the problem of being frequently hungry,
it’s because the hunger mechanism is literally turned on all the time, the body
is in a constant state of asking for nutrients. Due to our poor diets and low
nutrients in most of our foods now, many people find themselves living in a
case of constant hunger.
Ideally, you should invest in a “juicer”. A juicer takes all the
nutrients in food and releases it for the body to absorb readily and quickly. A glass of vegetable juice is
more filling than an entire pizza because of the concentrated amount of nutrients.
Only we can take care of our own body and it is through research
and learning information about how our body works scientifically that we will
be able to create a more vibrant and healthy lifestyle. See more...!
