The food we eat is packed
with energy, but the sad part is that most of it is wasted due to the
eating habits we develop growing up. Here are six ways to increase
energy with the food you already eat. No fancy diets, just a
different mentality for developing eating habits.
Chew More
I heard a story once about
US prisoners in a German prison camp during WWII. As you may expect,
they weren't getting a whole lot of food each day, so prisoners would
make it a habit to chew every single bite at least 100 times. It
didn't matter how small the bite was – even water – they would
slowly chew it that many times.
Digestion starts with
chewing – your saliva breaks down the proteins in food, which makes
it more available for absorption when your stomach acid goes to work
on the second phase of diestion. Most people inhale their food these
days – two or three bites then down the hatch. This negates the
effect of saliva, and results in more food passing through your
system unabsorbed, which means the loss of valuable nutrients.
For the next week, try to
chew each bite 50 times before swallowing, and then see how you feel.
I guarantee you'll have more energy than ever before.
