This is part Three of a three part series on, Are You Tired of Being Tired?
by Sean Mullowney, Holistic Personal Trainer. Sean shares thoughts on how food influences our Energy.
FOOD
The top reason for visits to the family doctor last year was cited as a lack of energy. We have looked at the role of water/hyradtion, sleep and today we will talk about Food.
The third factor that is usually neglected is the quality of the food.
Most people give little thought to what they ingest but will spend hours researching the latest computer, TV or car. The average person typically purchases food like house supplies and tries to get the best deal regardless of quality.
Did you know that we replace 2 million cells a second in our bodies and these cells come from the food we eat? If we eat dead food that can sit in our cupboards for months and years without going bad then we are the by-product of that choice.
Questions or Food for Thought!
1. If you were given only one car for your lifetime and it was a high performance car wouldn’t you take care of it?
2. Wouldn’t you give it quality gasoline to make it run efficiently, enable it to last longer so you could enjoy it more?
What's your answer?
Organic food on average has about 50% more nutrients than commercial foods plus no pesticides , fungicides and herbicides. Whenever you are in doubt if a food is up to par then ask yourself if the food has been around for 10,000 years and and if you can pronounce all the words on the label and you’ll get your answer.
These three suggestions seem quite obvious when first looked at but remember that it is just information if not put into use but becomes knowledge when applied.
So if You are Tired of Being Tired...assess your
1. Hydration level
2. Sleep
3. Quality Food
Make the adjustment and watch your energy soar!
Please share with family and friends...they will have more energy and thank you for it.

Part Two Sleep .....Are You Tired of Being Tired?.......... Life Coaching Activities.

Sleep Sleep Sleep
The second recommendation for increasing mother nature’s horsepower is to get enough sleep.
This may seem obvious to most but the majority of people don’t get enough sleep.
Prior to 1900 and the advent of the light bulb people were getting between 11-13 hours a night. Now, most tend to stay up late watching TV or surfing the net and then eventually wake unrested the next morning and thus need stimulants like coffee or sugar to make it through the day.
This can have a cyclical response because those foods can interfere with proper sleep/cortisol rhythms thus creating a need for those foods again the following day.
Sleep plays a vital role in our healing.
During waking hours we are primarily in a catabolic (breaking down) state and when we sleep we are in a restorative or anabolic state. The way the body responds is that we achieve our physical repair between 10pm and 2am and then our physic or nervous system repair between 2am and 6am. This is why those who elect to stay up late can still go to work the next day and focus, but their body feels less than ideal.
Some of my clients who have had joint and musculoskeletal issues for years have gotten better just by getting to bed earlier.
Be conscious that if you are falling to sleep in less than 5 minutes once in bed then you are probably sleep deprived.
Take your sleep seriously.
As Sean says......"this is just information if not put into use, but becomes knowledge when applied."
So if You are Tired of Being Tired...try Sleeping.
Later this week.....Part Three...Food.
Please share with family and friends...they will have more energy and thank you for it.
