5. Balanced Macronutrient Intake (Protein, Fats, and Carbs) The single most influential factor on our natural energy levels is the foods we eat and drink. The process of self improvement begins with the foods and liquids we choose to put into our body. Without proper nutrition, it is impossible to reach our full potential, no matter how determined and driven we may be. While eating right is a lifestyle change, this is not a "diet" by any means. If you want to start living a healthier lifestyle but don't know where to start, pick up a copy of William Wolcott and Trish Fahey's book The Metabolic Typing Diet. This book contains some of the best information on eating right, maintaining a healthy body weight, and boosting natural energy. The Metabolic Typing Diet illustrates that for hereditary reasons, our metabolism is unique. Cutting-edge research shows that no single diet works well for everyone - the very same foods that keep your best friend slim may keep you overweight and feeling unhealthy and fatigued. This revolutionary program allows us to identify our "metabolic type" and create a diet that suits our individual nutritional needs. It may be a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet filled with pasta and grains, or a high-fat, high-protein diet focused on meat and seafood, or anything in between. By detailing exactly which foods and food combinations are right for you, The Metabolic Typing Diet illustrates how you can shed unwanted pounds and achieve optimum vitality with lasting results.
6. Digestive Enzymes Digestive enzymes break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber making it possible to benefit from the nutrients found in those foods. Enzymes turn the food we eat into energy and unlock this natural energy for use in the body. Did you ever notice that children can eat a big meal and then go play, but adults who eat a big meal usually need a nap. By the time you hit forty you have lost most of your body's natural ability to manufacture enzymes. You get tired because it takes a lot of energy to digest that meal. Where do we get enzymes from? There are two basic sources: The raw food we eat contains enzymes to help break down that particular piece of food. Our body also produces some enzymes. The two glands providing the majority of digestive chemicals utilized by the gastrointestinal tract are the liver and the pancreas. The more cooking and processing of food destroys all or most of the enzymes. The more diet consists of raw foods like salads, the more natural energy you will have. Since most of the foods we eat are cooked or heavily processed in some way and the raw foods we do eat contain only enough enzymes to process that particular food, our bodies must produce the majority of the digestive enzymes we require. Again, we also lose the ability to produce these enzymes after we reach forty. For these reasons it is recommended that we supplement our diet with enzymes. Other than functioning as a natural energy booster, many enzymes have also been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect which is a bonus.
