Serious \u2013 low energy is probably responsible for a huge proportion of our problems! It\u2019s low energy that makes it hard to wake up in the morning, it\u2019s low energy that makes us not really want to exercise and it\u2019s low energy that prevents us from performing our best or really enjoying life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem is that it takes energy to start changing your lifestyle and to do things like exercise more or sleep better to improve your energy\u2026 so where do you begin? The answer is simple: you begin with your diet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are tons of ways that you can improve your energy levels through your diet, here are just a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way you can add more energy using your diet is just to consume more glucose. This won\u2019t give you long-term energy but will instead help you to improve your energy in the short term and give you a small kick when you\u2019re struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And interestingly, one of the best ways to get that hit of glucose is to \u2018cheat\u2019 and have glucose from man-made, processed sources. A glucose tablet is one option, another is to eat Wine Gums!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using glucose on a regular basis is not a recommended way to keep your energy levels up though. Instead, it\u2019s better to use MCT oil, which comes from coconuts and other natural sources. This type of oil doesn\u2019t get absorbed by the body in the same way as other fats and it encourages the body to produce ketons \u2013 a type of energy that has a lot of particular uses for the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want an example of someone with high energy levels, then look no further than the Tarahumara tribe! This group of indigenous people are able to run hundreds of miles in a single go and they accomplish this at least in part thanks to chia seeds \u2013 seeds that are capable of absorbing several times their weight in water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iron is used to create the red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body. More iron = more oxygen where you need it \u2013 meaning in turn that you\u2019ll have more energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another way to get more oxygen around your body when you need it is to cause vasodilation and widen the blood cells. This can be done with any food containing nitrates \u2013 including garlic. But vinpocetine is a natural ingredient that goes one step further by ensuing the vasodilation occurs mainly in the most important regions of the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, anything that can increase mitochondrial energy metabolism will greatly enhance energy levels \u2013 CoQ10, PQQ and creatine all being very good examples (and all being found in organ meats).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
