Maintain aHigh Energy Level Always

A lot of my
colleagues ask me how I maintain such a high level of energy all the time. It’s
really pretty simple. Here’s what I do: I try to eat more energy-gaining and
less energy-draining foods … along with a short nap of 30-45 minutes each day
in the afternoon.
The
energy-draining foods are any foods that are white. For example: processed
white sugary foods and processed white flour foods. I try to keep in mind a
little rhyme: If it’s white, it’s not right! Most of the good is gone from
those types of foods. But don’t they taste good? I used to eat because of taste
and tradition and did it in haste and forgot nutrition. Now I’m all about
nutrition.
So, now what I
try to do is eat a lot of fruit and foods with natural starches, which are the
energy-gaining foods!
And as I’m
eating fruit, I always eat it on an empty stomach and avoid eating the sweet
ones and the sour ones at the same time.
A few benefits
of eating fruit: it’s easy … just crack it open and eat; it’s usually very
cheap, especially when it’s in season; it’s so portable, you can take it
anywhere … it’s truly “nature’s fast food!”
The natural
starches are: ALL potatoes, brown rice, whole grain breads and pastas. Refer to
www.TheMangoManDiet.com! Something I try
to remember to keep me on track when I eat bread is another short rhyme: “The
whiter the bread, the wider the spread, the sooner I’m dead!” Have some color
in the bread!
Enjoy these
energy gaining foods and try to get that nap in the day sometime when it’s
convenient and watch your energy soar.
I encouraging
you to eat good stuff and you’ll always be tough … you owe it to yourself!
All the very best
