Drawing on the inspiration of loaves, fish, and wine, a doctor from
Florida has published a self-help manual called What would Jesus Eat?.
After the launch of this unique book, Jesus officially joined the US fight
against fat. Eating is a lifestyle; a day-to-day routine that should
sustain a healthy emotional and mental attitude and pump us with
continuous energy. Ok, enough talk, are you ready for my secrets.
What would Jesus Eat?
Jesus ate a Mediterranean style cooking that hasn't changed much in the
past 2000 years. We know that Jesus ate a lot of fruit, a lot of fish, a
lot of whole grains, and that he liked vegetables and olive oil. And lets
not forget, every healthy Mediterranean meal is topped off with a wine of
your choice. Wine is a valuable part of a healthy diet.
Whole-grains are the best form of carbohydrates and pack a powerful
energy booster. Next time your at the grocery, look for pasta, pancakes,
and bread that are made up of whole grains.
Feeling sluggish during the day?
Are eating habits make a large contribution to our energy levels. A
balanced combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fat eaten at regular
intervals will help keep your energy level high. On the other hand, not
drinking enough liquids will cause you to feel fatigued and fried and
fatty foods can make you feel sluggish. Cookies, candy bars, sodas, and
fruit drinks will all deplete your energy levels. Because these foods are
loaded with simple sugars, they cause a quick energy boost followed by a
prompt decline that will often leave you more drained than before.
Caffeine also has this same effect.
Foods that make you drowsy
Carbohydrates leave you feeling calm and relaxed. Ever noticed that
right after lunch always seems to be the perfect time for a nap. Do avoid
this drowsiness effect, pack some protein into your diet, but remember,
everything in moderation.
Foods that energize
Get plenty of iron. Many women lack energy because they lack iron in
their diet. This can usually be fixed with an iron supplement.
Boost your metabolism by eating once every three to four hours. Have
some fruit or carrot sticks handy when you're on the run. Our bodies
increase their metabolism each time we eat. We can boost are metabolism
with healthy snacks throughout the day.
Go all natural. Eating only whole, natural foods helps to maximize
energy levels. Try to limit processed foods as much as possible.
Exercise. This is the number one metabolism booster. If you can do a
quick walk during your lunchtime, this is sure to keep you running on high
for the afternoon.
