Energy Unlimited: Building Energy Amidst Stress & Anxiety
Just
thinking of being in an environment where stress, anxiety and panic
attacks often occur is distressing enough. Most of the time, you just
can’t do anything about it since it follows you wherever you go. But at
other times, you give in to all kinds of temptations at home and in the
workplace – anger, resistance, denial, doubt, withdrawal and other
kinds of emotions. And sometimes, when all of these happen, you lose
all energy and just sink and wallow in depression. So what can you do
about it? How do you overcome all of this? Is there still hope when
stress and anxiety attack?
Of course there is! This book answers
these questions and more as it unravels how to embattle these negative
thoughts and feelings you have and all the stress in the workplace by
just building up your energy.
True, allowing the energy that you
have left amidst all the stress in the environment keeps you on your
toes, and gives you a physical workout that takes your mind off all of
these negative thoughts – without even going to the gym.
This
book doesn't just offer different relaxation techniques and how to
build energy – it will give you a new perspective on how to deal with
unexpected circumstances in your life. So, read on.
Food and Eating Habits - The Go, Grow and Glow Foods
Okay,
let’s face it. Children, especially, love to drink sodas, they love to
eat candies and chocolates (and in some cases, almost every day), and
love to eat the same kind of food every day despite the insistence of
parents to try out another type of food.
But the insistence goes
beyond that. And in this first chapter, it introduces the basic food
groups not only children, but adults as well, should find healthy and
stimulating to liven up their bodies.
Ever since we were in
elementary or even preschool, we have all heard about the energy foods
to keep us growing. Remember the go, glow and grow foods? These are all
considered energy foods.
Let us study them one by one and let us
see if they give enough energy to sustain us throughout the day. If
not, let us see how. The go foods are considered as the energy-giving
foods. The go foods are basically the carbohydrates and the fats, which
are essentially the chief sources of energy. Examples of this food
group are the root crops, bread and bakery products, pasta, cooking
oil, butter, rice, corn, margarine, and other fats and sugars. Some of
these foods are actually rich in Vitamin A, such as root vegetables.
Others are fortified with Iron or Iodine. In general, the go foods help
children, and even adults, run, jump and play all day long, a much
needed boost to their energy.
Meanwhile, the grow foods are
thought of as the body-building foods. These foods are rich in minerals
and protein which are needed for growth and repair of body tissues and
also take part in giving energy to the body. Examples of the grow foods
are poultry, eggs, meat, fish, milk and milk products, organ meats,
dried beans and nuts. These foods are also fortified with Vitamin A and
iron which can easily be absorbed by the body. Aside from giving
energy, the grow foods are important to maintain the physical
appearance: it gives you shiny hair and sparkling eyes.
The grow
foods, also called the regulating foods, are important for growth, for
healthy eyes, for high resistance to infection and for strong bones and
teeth. Grow foods are rich in fiber (which is important for intestinal
regularity), vitamins and minerals. Foods belonging to this group are
the following: squash and, green leafy vegetables and other
vegetables and foods which are rich in Vitamin C such as mango, guava
and orange. For children, the grow foods can help you become strong and
make you grow.
These basic food groups are often represented as
a pyramid. At the bottom of the chart are the go foods. In the middle
of the chart are the grow foods and at the top of the chart are the
glow foods.
These foods basically work together to give the body
much-needed energy and help us function as individuals in our daily
lives. But of course, when you eat too much of any of these foods, then
there is a bit of a problem. I am not just talking about the physical
aspect of eating too much of everything. There is more at stake than
that because once the physical aspects get affected, so will the
emotional and mental factors. In short, it affects every part of the
body, mind and even the soul. Energy slows down and there is no more
room for excitement and exhilaration in your body. All that is left are
the symptoms – dangerous symptoms that might leave you breathless, and
even lead to illness.
Staying Healthy
It
has been said over and over again that the key to having a healthy body
is eating healthy foods and regular exercise. According to statistics,
the leading contributors to physical death are an inadequate diet and
physical inactivity.
Statistics from to the US Department of
Health and Human Services show that the leading contributors to a
premature death, are a faulty diet and physical inactivity, with
310,000-580,000 dying yearly.
These figures even show that these
factors are 13 times more deadly than guns and 20 times more deadly
than drugs. So, when faced with such scary numbers, what can you do?
Simple. Just follow this advice – if you make sure you have a balanced
diet and practice some kind of physical exercise, you will find a new
burst of energy. In this way, you can more easily handle your problems,
and focus more easily on the things that matter to you the most.
As
mentioned earlier, eating a well-balanced diet contributes greatly to
having a physically fit body. A well-balanced diet means having a taste
of everything, and not just focusing on one food group. In this way,
you can easily counterattack the diseases that might come your way –
whether you are obese or skinny.
Along with having a
well-balanced diet, exercise is also very important in giving your
energy a boost. There have been studies that link exercise with having
a fit mind, and being able to focus more on the things that you need to
do in your career and in your personal relations. When you exercise, it
doesn’t necessarily mean going to the gym. Walking and running around
the neighborhood are already good forms of exercise. When you exercise
regularly, you revive the energy that’s building up inside of you and
you will be able to achieve the things that you want to do for each day.
