Today I wanna talk about food. More specific how to combine food to gain more energy without putting on fat. This way you will feel energetic all day long, you won’t feel sleepy and maybe you will lose some fat.
Lets face it, a main problem nowadays is obesity. There are several reasons why people are getting so fat. One of them is the huge amount of junk food that is eaten daily. Lets take a look back into the past and lets see why our grandparents were so healthy. First of all, in today’s market there are huge varieties of foods. But this doesn’t mean we have to eat them all together at once, as we tend to do.
What I am going to write about next is just one method of combining food. To begin with, I will explain a basic principal. We often get sleepy after eating a big meal. Why is that? The answer is simple and logic. We eat too much and we eat a lot of different food, so the stomach needs more blood flow to process the food. This is why after eating a huge meal you get sleepy and you feel useless for 2-3 hours. This is not healthy. Food should give us energy not take it away.
So how can we solve this problem? Well, there are some sorts of food that can’t be combined or it is better if you don’t combine them. I’m going to divide those kind of foods in to two lists. First there are foods that contain starch, foods like cereals, bread, potatoes etc and then there are foods that contain proteins, foods like meat, milk, cheese etc.
Those two big kinds of food should not be combined. Why is that? Because starch needs an alcalin digestive environment to be digested, such environment can be found in the mouth given by saliva and proteins needs a acid environment. So combining proteins with starch will give a though time to your body processing the food. This is why eating milk and cereals won’t give you that needed energy every commercial ad promises you or eating fried potatoes with cheese on them won’t be healthy to your stomach.
Last thing, but an important thing you should note is that you should try eating as many fruits and vegetables as possible. You should try to eat them raw because that is when they have a biggest amount of water, vitamins and minerals in them. Take a look at animals. Why do carnivores die sooner then the vegetarians? Because they have less live food in their bodies. Yes, vegetables and fruits are organic food, meat is not organic. So you will get many benefits from having a vegetables/fruits based meal.
I will write in the future more precise things about how to combine food, until then try changing a bit of your diet every day and in short time you will feel good changes.
