There
are thieves among foods, stealing your energy and harming your health.
Everything you eat has an impact on your energy levels. More
specifically, eating the wrong foods can leave you feeling tired and
unable to focus. If you do not want to drag through your work day, try
avoiding some of these foods. We unmask some of the energy thief-foods
for you.
Depleted food: This is food that
has been microwaved, worked up with chemicals or genetically altered.
Sadly, that’s the bulk of many people’s diet. These things rob food of
its life force and you end up eating what is called hungry food. Rather
than giving energy, such food actually robs you of energy. And imagine
that makes you eat even more. Every living thing, including humans,
animals and plants has an energy body. When that energy is not spoiled,
the food is nourishing and vitalising. When the energy is discharged,
the food steals your energy.
Turkey: This is probably the most
popular sleepy food out of there. The reason turkey makes you tired is
because it contains tryptophan — an amino acid that relaxes your body.
Of course, eating a turkey sandwich probably won’t put you to sleep, but
you should control how much turkey you ingest.
High sugar candy: Sugary foods and
candy can trick you into thinking they are adding energy when they are
not. That is because when you first eat them, your blood sugar levels
rise way up. However, your body then instinctually releases insulin and
the blood sugar levels drop rapidly. What is the result? You crash as
you run out of energy.
Fried foods: Because fried foods
are very fatty, it takes much more energy to break them down during
digestion. As a result, eating fried chicken or French fries is a
sure-fire way to quickly drain your body of energy.
Red meat: Red meat takes longer to
digest than almost any other food. This means your body needs to use a
lot of energy to break down red meat than it would for a slice of fish.
