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.
Take a walk right after a
meal
It's incredible what a long
walk can do for your digestion. The act of walking massages the
stomach and sort of tumbles the food around inside there, exposing
more surfaces to your digestive stomach acids.
It works like an alka
seltzer. Try a little experiment: Drop one whole alka seltzer into a
glass of water. In a second glass of water, crush up the pill and
drop the powder in. The powder dissolves much faster because it has
more exposed surface area touching the water.
A lot of Americans wonder
how Europeans are so thin, even though, surprisingly, they don't
actually eat much differently than us. One reason is that their
culture incorporates walking into much of the daily routine, and that
single activity can do a hell of a lot of good for your body.
For a week, try walking for
15 minutes after each meal and see how you feel. Enjoy the fresh air.
