Energy and Metabolism: How is Your Energy Level?
Dr. Minshew
The World Health Organization (WHO) states, "Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It is the ability to lead a socially and economically productive life."
Does that describe you? Or, like many people in North America, are you just too tired to think about being “socially and economically productive”?
If you feel too tired to do much more than read this article, don’t feel alone. Up to 85% of the people that visit a doctor for any reason also complain of being chronically tired. It seems that we are in the middle of an energy crisis that has nothing to do with petroleum production!When we talk about energy we need to distinguish the difference between the ability to survive and the feeling of being energetic. We must admit that even the sickest person is converting nutrients to energy in order to survive. Yet, we want to do more than survive – we want to feel energetic. We want to have the energy to dream and then have the energy to live those dreams. We want to feel our best every day. Is that possible?
Eating for energy: fats, protein, and carbohydrates
As I mentioned, energy comes from the way our bodies burn nutrients such as fats, protein, and carbohydrates. These nutrients must be metabolized. The word metabolism is from a Greek word that describes the process of creating energy from food. This description gives us the first hint as to how we can create and sustain an energetic feeling − by balancing our diet every day.
A balanced diet must include:
7 to 9 servings of fruit and vegetables (for adults)
30+ grams of high quality protein
20 to 35 grams of fiber daily
Sugars from the foods we eat provide us with ready energy, but it doesn’t last very long. Proteins are converted to energy at a much slower pace and provide us with a more stable supply of energy – five times as much energy per gram as sugar.However, when it comes to providing energy, fat is the undisputed champion. Fat provides us with stamina. It burns slowly and steadily up to 8 times longer than sugar. So for stamina that lasts all day and into the evening hours, select foods high in “good” fats.
Many experts say that we should get as much as 30% of our total calories per day from fat. This may mean more than 70 grams of fat for a 2,200 calorie per day diet. That’s a lot of fat! But don’t reach for the French fries just yet. You see, all foods contain fat. Fat is as important for plants as it is for humans. So, select fats from foods that are known for high energy, such as vegetables, seeds, nuts, legumes, and certain types of fish.
Take Control of Your Health
When frustration drains your energy: immediately drink 2 glasses of water.
When anxiety and tension prevent you from enjoying the moment: 10 minutes of deep breathing will cut your stress in half!When fatigue seems insurmountable: a brisk walk in the open air will revive you.
When mental fog descends and clouds your thinking: a cup of green or ginseng tea will cut through the fog and brighten your mind.

Description:
Prepare yourself for an active and fun spring!
Are you longing to take a walk through a park or to bicycle along a tree-lined path? As the weather brightens, we're reminded that spring is just around the corner and it's time for some warm-weather fun!
After a long winter lay-off, how can you prepare for spring-time activities? One way is to make sure your diet is packed with natural and healthy carbohydrates.Choose carbohydrates wisely
Carbohydrates are converted into sugars when they're digested, raising our blood sugar and giving us a ready form of energy. There are a wide variety of foods that have natural carbohydrates - but which ones are best for you and your energy level?
Oatmeal, black beans, fresh apples, and doughnuts are examples of foods that have carbohydrates. But there is a difference - the doughnut is not a healthy food source and it doesn't work as efficiently as the others in creating energy.
Sugary foods make your blood sugar rise and fall so quickly that your energy level falls lower than before you've eaten. These types of foods are high on the Glycemic
Index (GI) and won't sustain lasting energy.
The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises your blood sugar. Healthy food choices have a low GI, (55 or less) raising your blood sugar gradually to give you the lasting energy you need for an active and fun spring.
An average doughnut has a GI of 76, which is high; while a medium apple is 38 and a serving of black beans is 30. If you want to create natural energy that lasts a long time, choose the apple instead of a doughnut for your mid-morning snack. Plus, you'll benefit from the antioxidants in a fresh apple.
Here are some suggestions for foods that help you get and keep healthy, lasting energy for spring activities:
Whole Grains
The edible grains are wheat, rice, corn, barley, oats, and rye. A whole grain has an outer layer of bran, a carbohydrate-rich middle layer, and an inner germ layer. Refining grains removes the fiber-rich layer of the grain, making it less nutritious and giving it a higher GI reading. White bread makes your blood sugar rise faster than whole grain bread.
According to the Oregon State University's Linus Pauling Institute, diets that include whole grains are linked with reduced risks of cardiovascular disease and Type II Diabetes.
Whole grains land in the middle of the glycemic index, (56 - 70). Limit them to three or four servings per day.
One serving of whole grain:
Slice of whole grain bread
½ whole grain English muffin or bagel
½ cup of oatmeal, brown rice, or cooked whole wheat pasta
One ounce whole grain breakfast cereal
5 - 6 whole grain crackers.
Legumes
Legumes are plants with seeds that grow into pods. Edible legumes include beans, lentils, peanuts, and peas.
They are a great source of low fat carbohydrates, as long as they are prepared without animal fats. Legumes are also cholesterol-free, fiber rich, and a good source of plant protein.
The American Heart Association says that legumes are a heart-healthy food. They should be included in your balanced diet at least three times weekly.
Healthy Legumes with low GIs:
Black beans
Butter beans
Garbanzo beans
Kidney beans
Lentils
Peas
Pinto beans
Eat foods with low GI (Glycemic Index) readings to help you maintain a healthy weight and activity level this spring!
Vegetables
Vegetables are a wonderful source of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. It's surprising to find that many are also a healthy source of carbohydrates.
Starchy and sweet vegetables have a higher GI. Beets have a GI of 65 and are better in regulating energy than a baked, red potato (GI = 93) or a serving of French fries (75).
Parsnips have a high GI, 97; yams are much lower at 57. Limit your consumption of parsnips in favor of yams, beets, or carrots (47) if you want lasting energy.
Nutritionists advise eating 4 - 7 servings of vegetables a day.
Fruits
Antioxidant-rich fruits have been used by athletes to provide quick energy. Many tennis players and marathoners will eat a banana (GI = 56) to fuel athletic performance.
Apples, peaches, grapes, oranges, grapefruit, and plums have low GIs and are great additions to your diet. In the medium range, you'll find cantaloupes, apricots, pineapple, watermelon, and bananas.
Dates and raisins have high GIs, as well as any dried fruit. If you're interested in balancing your blood sugar, avoid dried fruits.
For a balanced diet, experts suggest 2 - 5 servings of fruits daily.
Enjoy an active spring!
In recent years, carbohydrates were considered villains. They were accused of causing weight gain and belly fat. Fast-burning, high GI carbohydrates are major contributors to obesity. Avoid these foods to help reduce excess weight.
Slow-burning, low GI carbohydrates contribute to our wellness by generating balanced and lasting energy levels. Eat foods with low GI readings to help you maintain a healthy weight and activity level this spring!French Montreville
