HOW TO GET ENERGY FAST

There are few people who at some time of the day would like to have an injection of energy to keep going. No matter if the need arises in the workplace given the urgency of delivering a major project (always important), at home because the young children claiming an extra attention, the football game with friends who will start in a couple of hours, or because the computer crashes and patience (and thus energy) fades away, as if a virtual vampire sucking the life force. And beyond these more specific times, there are stages in life when it seems to be more exhausted, as if the physical and mental strength to refuse to follow the tax rate of the day.

Be more specific or chronic incorporating each person will feel their little strategies for tracing the downturn. Some take their dose of coffee, others prefer to enjoy tea, some argue that when you have to drive long distances by car for several hours, to prevent drowsiness rather go drinking cola, energy drinks or other directly choose to take vitamin supplements , some with ginseng, because they ensure that endure and go forward as well. Or now that eating algae becomes popular, some have begun to incorporate into their daily diet because it ensures that spirulina is a natural alternative to traditional multivitamin supplements.

What do the experts say about it? What products give you energy? Are they safe? Antonio Villarino, president of the Spanish Society of Dietetics and Food Sciences, Professor of Biochemistry and Professor of Nutrition at the Complutense University of Madrid, explains that with a balanced diet and a less stressful pace of life, it would be necessary to take additional measures . But it is an ideal not so easy to win, so people will go through moments of exhaustion and are no any outrageous supplement energy needs, sometimes with vitamin complexes. Nor is outrageous coffee at the end of meals to feel more clear. Some also favors establishing strategies and from good morning to be revitalized and decides to start the day doing some exercises, such as tai chi, and then take a hearty breakfast to feel revitalized.

Everyone looks for the best way to stay awake and focused, wanting to make cosas.Isabel Beltran, doctor, nutritionist, master’s degree in mental health and consumer science, remember that life is carried usual take some stimulants like coffee or seek additional food sources. Another thing is that these complementary sources become a habit. It is true that in periods of special fatigue, is not the first time someone goes to the pharmacy asking for a product that gives him extra energy. “The problem is if you abuse them instead of other changes in the lifestyle,” said Beltran. After states that if you force the body, “eventually it may be worse because you can take its toll. As concretely and in what situations it is important to take vitamin complex to get by, but just to get by. At the end of the day, it is not the same fruits that make taking vitamins. A fruit is much more complex and complete, and the body will feel better. ”

Jorge Pérez-Calvo Soler, diet therapy specialist physician, professor at the Universitat Ramon Llull and the FBG and author, among other books, Energy Medicine and Health (Ed. Grijalbo), the key is to look after digestion . Otherwise, the metabolic system consumes much energy it can produce a feeling of tiredness and decreased mental performance, “If we eat properly without excess toxins from the environment, our digestive system will be able to function nutrition of different cells, tissues and organs of our body, which in turn may effectively perform our functions. A strong and healthy digestive system will allow all that, but this will depend in turn on the food that we offer to be compatible with the proper functioning of our digestive system, so it’s a vicious circle. A good digestion and assimilation, therefore, allow us to do our function better in general, to think better, to react better, best perceive what surrounds us and what happens to us, and we feel better, in short, that our mental and emotional states are more positive and creative. ”

When the activity, whether physical or mental, is carried to the limit, there is a risk of causing a great loss of vital energy that interferes with debugging functions of the body, increases the toxemia and that’s when we start to show symptoms of disease. So you better get to work and change the rhythms before claiming the body  break or what is the same, you need a change of attitude. Although coffee at noon on a terrace also feel great. As also said Isabel Beltran, good bread with tomato, oil and ham is an excellent reactivation. At least for some. And taking the illusion too. It is an illusion, albeit not as easy to measure.
