Eating for Energy?

This Little-Known Hack Will Help Boost Energy Levels in Less Than a Week

Hectic lifestyles have forced many people into irregular meal schedules and less than optimal food choices. Unfortunately, these habits can have a negative impact on physical health and drain your energy levels while increasing your risk for long-term health problems.

Of course, poor food choices will negatively impact health and energy levels no matter what time of day you eat. But eating healthier foods that are naturally lighter and easier to digest, coupled with learning how to eat according to your natural digestive cycle can increase your metabolism, energy and have a profound impact on how you feel emotionally.

Our bodies have numerous functions that work in cycles, or rhythms. Certain genes help regulate circadian rhythms as they respond to external factors like light. Some rhythms and cycles include hormonal, sleep, body temperature and digestion.

The allopathic or Western medical community has not yet embraced this idea, but at least studies are heading in that direction as they show that hormones created in the gut not only affect mood but also affect our eating cycle, as described above.

Many in the medical world promote the idea that digestive function is available 24 hours a day. And while the medical community tells us that digestion still works overnight, that’s not necessarily accurate.`

The Nature of the Digestive System

Consuming a heavy meal before bed can interfere with these processes. In other words, digestion needs a “rest” so the system can perform other functions.

In the holistic world, it is ideal to consume lighter meals in the morning, a large salad around lunchtime when digestion is peaking, and then a lighter meal in the evening. Consuming cooked veggies in the evening is ideal because they are easier to digest than raw.

Snacking on fresh fruit or proteins like soaked nuts between meals can help you feel satiated throughout the day while contributing to energy and suppressing the urge to overeat at dinnertime. The timing of all meals should be enough that your body has time to digest and rest just a bit before you eat again.

Eating according to this natural rhythm allows your body to fully digest each meal and utilize the nutrients more efficiently.

Once digestion is complete, your body can move on to other functions such as dissolving or repairing unhealthy cells and tissues, and rebuilding new healthy cells and tissue that will function more efficiently.

If a meal is not fully digested due to overeating or consuming too much protein or fat, the above processes are interrupted. When digestion is overburdened, it can lead to side effects like fatigue, foggy mind, and irritability or an inability to concentrate. None of these are conducive to feeling your best and living your best life.

If you decide to embark on any type of health program or diet update, focus on the timing of your meals as well as the content. This may be the key to helping you more easily reach your goals and feel great during your healthy transition.
