We require a constant intake of food to fuel our heart function, breathing, heat regulation, blood circulation and brainpower. The kind of food that does these is the energy-giving food.
How does food become energy? During digestion, foods are broken down into glucose which is then transported into the bloodstream then carried to the liver for filtration and storage. A gland in the brain called pituitary gland directs hormonal releases from the pancreas and adrenal glands which stimulate the liver to release the glucose back into the bloodstream to be transported to organs and muscles that require the energy. The process of keeping the organs supplied with energy is known as blood-sugar management.
High Protien Diet
We need to include foods in our diet that can boost our metabolism and sustain energy levels. Carbohydrates, protein and fat are all vital to obtain energy. Foods that have low glycemic value will maintain blood sugar levels while protein and fiber sustain consistent energy levels throughout the day. Maintaining blood glucose level at an even level is essential for concentration and alertness.
Carbohydrate is the easiest form of food that gets converted into glucose, and turns into immediate energy while excess are stored in the liver and muscles.
Protein should be included in the diet to be mixed with carbohydrate, however you should be careful with your protein intake as eating too much protein stimulates the body into an acid state and results the body to release calcium from the bones to increase the body's alkalinity. This will later cause osteoporosis. Try decreasing protein a little and increasing carbohydrate and vice versa until your energy levels are higher and constant.
Some essential energy foods are those rich in Vitamin B complex group which comprises vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 (folic acid), B12, and biotin. Sources of these vitamins are wholegrains of rye, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, corn, barley and in fresh green vegetables.
Start your day with these important nutrients and vitamins. They will keep us alert, moving and keep our mood stable.
