a"a"-Food treats us right and gives us energy

The amount of food a person eats during a day is mainly responsible for the amount of energy that person has available for the daily actions.

For a regular person with a regular job, a normal and not very exhausting activity span, a healthy diet is something very recommendable. Such a diet usually contains a combination of approximated 40% fibers, 30% proteins, 10% water and natural juice or substitutes and only 20% carbohydrates.

What happens when a person has a job that requires a high amount of energy consumption?

The world is full of people that seem to go from one day to another permanently exhausted and without energy. Most of the time we hear about this people that they justa don't get enough sleepa. The sleep deprivation is a common cause for the permanent fatigue and also for a constant nervous disposition.

Can sleep be the only responsible for the increased number of tired people that we see all around us daily? Usually under a huge amount of stress people tend to gain weight and the cause for this is not only an unhealthy diet.

When the work piles up and a 24 hr day seems to be insufficient to get the work done we tend to eat a lot of junk food and drink as many energy drinks as we can get our hands on in order to be able to stand and finish the tasks we are given.

The result is of a short term and comes with the side effect of addiction along with the weight gain everyone dreads.

Soasince we all need to get the energy somehow but in the mean time we need to keep out body amachinea functioning properly, let's analyze which are the most energizing foods and drinks that can help us on our way to be the best we can be, and also live a healthy and productive life.

1. Green vegetables

These little wonders of nature hide under their vivid green skin, the entire complex of B vitamins as well as magnesium and iron. These vitamins and minerals can be found in all green vegetables, the leaders being broccoli, asparagus and spinach.

Broccoli is an excellent resource of Q10 coenzyme the most important regenerative factor for the cellular activity. The lettuce and cabbage are rich in vitamin C and the carotenes responsible for maintaining the quality of our vision as we grow old.

The most advertised means of a energizing breakfast, the whole cereals are responsible for an energetic start of the day. The carbohydrates and sugar in them is released gradually during digestion and that is how these smart drops from the nature's energy boost can help a person stay sharp and still be responsible with their diet.

The cereals are also an important source of B vitamins and are responsible for a good functioning of the spleen, the body's energy battery.

3. Green parsley

These magical green leaves that seem so benign, when considering the nutrition factor, are a vitamin C bomb. The green parsley leaves have more vitamin C than the citrus fruit. As unbelievable as it may seem introducing them in a person's diet boosts up the level of cell regeneration and helps the body get more energy.

4. Fruits

It is common knowledge that fruits are a food group that guarantees an energy intake due to the fructose level and the vitamins they all carry. The most energizing fruit are grapes, peaches and citrus fruit dew to their high fructose content.

The most fruits have a large content of vitamins, predominant C and through it a large energetic potential. Of course the fruits can be replaced by fruit juice under the condition this is home made not bought from the supermarket. Of course the bottled juice gives energy but because of the sugar addition, after the sugar rush it produces, the energy disappears very fast.

5. Seeds

Most of the seeds such as sunflower and pumpkin are very rich in proteins and minerals and their presence in a person's nutrition is an important source of energy. These little seeds are also a source of magnesium and iron.

The polyunsaturated fats they contain are benefit for the cardiovascular system and help the blood flow to the heart and brain.

6. Nuts

All nuts from peanuts to pistachio are an excellent source of minerals with a high nutrition factor. They contain vitamins A, B and E, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. They fight against anemia and bring the body durable energy.

7. Fruit smoothies and shakes

The smart combination of fruit juice and milk is always a source of energy. The combination of vitamins and calcium increases the body's energetic potential and it is also a very refreshing helping hand when you get extra tired while working.

8. Green tea

The ancient source of energy that comes from the Asian countries has conquered the occidental shores creating a rave of fashion. This green elixir is a source of antioxidants and an important resource of energy for the entire body.

During the last years it became quite a trend and has been made popular all over the web and media. Apart from this trendy movement the green tea remains one of the top nutrition elements in providing energy.

9. Honey

The asweetness of the worlda- honey maybe the most popular food ever since the concept of ahealthya became an issue in the nutritionist's conversation. The best energetic content in a food item is the one provided by honey.

Used as a sweetener for tea and coffee or other hot drinks, or simply consumed as it is, it becomes an energy pill that helps the body regenerate and be more alert. Recently, the honey was introduced in packed cereals, in power bars and in a large variety of energy drinks.

10. Coffee

It is only natural that the brain's aalarm clocka should be on top of the nutrition energy providers. Coffee is known to boost up the attention, increase the brain activity, and improve the disposition. It's pretty much our own adrenalin shot available in a hot steaming cup.

Whether we are young or old, we all need a drop of energy to take us through a difficult or a busy day. The way we watch over our diet can become an important step in providing our body the energy it needs.

  34. QUESTION:
    Energy Drinks - Is it all in the mind?
    I've been drinking Red Bull and Monster for 2 years now (not so frequently) and feel like I experience effects of ginseng and caffeine (increased heart rate, restlessness, alertness).
    Do the ingredients of energy drinks really have this sort of influence on the body, or is it all mental?

    • ANSWER:
      The chemicals used in energy drinks (- which are really bad for the body) do stimulate increased heart rate and blood flow. They allow the capilleries and veins to open more, allowing increased circulation. This in turn allows the body to be fed quckly with the high levels of sugars in the drinks. As for energy drinks giving mind stimulation - that is untrue, the statement is going on the theory of higher cirulation - increased brain activity, but there has never been anything to prove this.

  35. QUESTION:

  36. QUESTION:
    can the ingredient guarana in energy drinks cause anal leakage?
    My girlfriend said she heard a rumor that the ingredient guarana (sp?) can cause anal leakage is this true?
    What I mean by girlfriend for all you immature people out there is my friend that is a girl!

    • ANSWER:
      That is a good and interesting question...Here is what I found for you.

      Safety
      Guarana should not be used by people who are sensitive to caffeine or xanthines.

      People with heart conditions, diabetes, high blood pressure, epilepsy, overactive thyroid, anxiety, insomnia, and kidney disease should only use guarana under the supervision of their doctor.

      The safety of guarana in pregnant or nursing women has not been established. Since many doctors recommend limiting caffeine during pregnancy and nursing, guarana should be avoided because caffeine content differs from product to product and it isn't possible for consumers to accurately estimate how much caffeine they are consuming through guarana.

      Guarana should not be taken with any products containing ephedra. Serious adverse effects have been reported with this combination. It may increase the risk of stroke, hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, and sudden death and has been associated with increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and potentially harmful changes in glucose and potassium levels.

      A report published in the Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy described the case of a heart rhythm abnormality called premature ventricular contraction associated with two herbal supplements that both contained large doses of guarana.

      Initial symptoms of guarana overdose include difficulty urinating, vomiting, and abdominal cramps and spasms. If you suspect a guarana overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

  37. QUESTION:
    Energy drinks............?
    Ok,
    i just had my first ROCKSTAR (energy drink)
    but it's not my first energy drink... i have had red bull and monster and some other kinds...
    but today i had it and it made my stomach hurt really bad and gave me (forgive me for saying this) bad gas on both ends....

    then i went to the bathroom and went #2 for at least 20 minutes.... not kidding... i have never went that much in my life....

    but i was wondering if Sugar- Free Rockstar has any laxitives in it...(the ingredients are listed below)

    so if you know, please tell me.....

    Thank you!!
    INGREDIENTS:

    Carbonated water, citric acid, taurine, sodium citrate, natural and artificial flavors, caffine, caramel color, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, L-carnitine, inositol, niacinamide, calcium pantothenate, milk thistle extract, ginko bilboa leaf extract, acesulfame potassium, sucralose, guarana seed extract, panax ginseng root extract, ribo-flavin, pyridoxine, pydrochloride, cyanocobalamin

    • ANSWER:
      They do not have a laxitive in it. Howeer that does not mean that one of the ingredients in it will cause you to get like that. We are all different and unique and though certain items will normally do this or that for most people that is not the case for every person. Some people can't function without a good bid of caffeine and others get real hyper with just the smallest amount.

      I would suggest staying away from Rockstar. If you get this with other products then keep track of those ingredients and you might be able to narrow it down to a specific thing. Asking your doctor to do allergy tests on the ingredients in Rockstar may or may not help. This does not sound like normal allergic reactions.

      Of course there is always a possibility that this is just a coincedence too. You could have been coming down with something. If so it is possible that the drink may have triggered it or made it worse at the time. But not necessarily either.

    • ANSWER:
      Caffeine is used in the treatment of migraines.

      That is why the only difference between Excedrin and Excedrin Migraine is the packaging containers. That is a fact you can read on the packages or on their website. Read the contents list, they are identical.

      If you go to the grocery store and look in the section where Kool-aid is sold, you will see boxes of powered drink mix. I have seen some for energizing drinks. They probably don't taste like what you are used to, but if you want to make it more flavorful add the power to fruit juice or clear sodas.
