Here at Healthy Energy Specialist we aim to introduce you to ways of maintaining a Healthy Energy level through what you eat, drink and breath.

Food Energy

Food has it’s own energy and when it is processed or modified then the energy will also change. Our bodies have genectically adapted to the food available and will continue to do so, however understandably could have difficulty with the rapid change in food over the last 50 years. If you don’t believe that food effects how you feel then try eating whole foods for 4 days and see the difference. eg Meat/chicken/fish with vegetables, fruit and nuts and seeds. Avoid anything tinned or cooked and packaged, including bread and see how you feel. Or try a few days of eating only packaged and takeaway foods, with no fruit and vegetables and see how you feel. If you don’t feel any different on the 2nd option then that is a very bad sign that your Healthy Energy level is very low.

As a child I was lucky enough to have parents that feed me healthy food. So if I went out to a party and ate lots of cakes and biscuits and chocolates, I felt terrible. So from a young age I realised that what you eat can make a big difference to how you feel. Unfortunately many people have not experienced feeling really good for long periods of time and don’t realise the effects of what you eat on how you feel. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as a Nutritionist on your goals of having a healthy energy level.

Water and Air

Clean water and air will reduce the toxic load on our bodies and make it easier for them to function. This then gives us a better energy level. The less toxins your body takes in the better as it gives you a chance to expel more then you take in and result in a net loss of toxins from the body. We need approx 2 L of water a day and 13L of air a day. That is a lot for the body to process.

Sleep

We all know how we feel if we have insomnia or have done shift work or anything that has given us less sleep. It has been proven that our motor skills decrease with lack of sleep. A study found that being awake for 17-19 hours resulted in worse driving skills then those with a blood alcohol of .05%. The legal limit for drink driving in most westernised countries. It suggests that 16-60 percent of accidents involve sleep deprivation. So to maintain a healthy enerfgy level sleep is vital.
