Diet to have more energy

On April 27, 2021 by margheviviani

All our life is turned around the food. Is not only a joy, but the force. For me, food alway was something to nourish my body and mind, and only after is a joy. But sometime we seek a joy only and realise that food digestion takes a lot of energy. And in this post I would like to talk about a diet to have more energy.

Check also post about Ayurveda.

So what is a diet to have more energy?

During my journey I tried plenty of diets and tips. And here what sticked to me the most:

1. Once a week – fasting. On that day, or I don’t eat at all, or drink juices or eat only fruits and veggies. Important to drink enough on this days.

2. Don’t mess with food, something must be eaten separate from other. Melon and watermelon only alone. Bananas and yogurt or milk doesn’t come together. I know is strange but together they create kind of toxins in the body.

3. Animal protein separately from carbos. If you are not a vegetarian, is better to eat separate. If it’s rice or bread then with fat, and animal protein alone or with vegetables. But grains together with beans open complete protein.

4. Fruits and salads as the first dish and only after the main dish.

5. Vegan detox once a year, for one month We are good to be vegetarian, but in the summer we clean a bit by following a vegan diet.

6. Last meal at least two hours before sleeping. But I prefer to do dinner 4-5 hours before sleeping.

7. Eating slowly, with only calm meditative music of some jazz. To really concentrane on the food. Also we never talk about heavy topics on the table.

8. Put less in the plate and enjoy small mount, concentrated only on taste and feeling of fulfillment.

9. Leave you stomach one third empty. You must leave the table with a pleasure not with the heaviness.

10. Eat only when feeling hungry. Here in Italy people follow the time of meal very strict. But I let myself sometimes to skip one meal, or to eat much less and light if I don’t feel hungry enough.

11. Try to eat less gluten meals or substitute your favourite pasta or bread with gluten-free solution.

12. Try to eat 3 kg of fresh fruit and vegetables daily. So that your body take enough vitamins.

13. Different meals and ingredients every day. Your diet must be diverse.

Plus to all this no extra weight and a clean stomach.

More over many years human population doesn’t suffer from hunger, but from the opposite. We can find any kind of products in every place of the planet. We are eating too much. The worst is that in some places exist people who has no food on their table. They even had no table, what’s to say. And we are still throwing tones of food in the garbage?!
