How to end that 2pm lull for good
Hi John
You know how sometimes you hear about some study that's been done that
proves something new, exciting and totally unexpected?
And when you hear or read about it, you think, "Wow! Who
knew? Good thing they did that study!"
Well, this is not one of those times.
This is one of those times where you instead think to yourself, "And
how many millions did they waste on THAT?"
Here's what I'm talking about.
"Diet Linked With Daytime
Sleepiness"
A study recently conducted suggests that your level of sleepiness or alertness
during the day may be related to the type of food that you eat.
Specifically, the results showed that higher fat consumption was associated
with increased daytime sleepiness, while higher carbohydrate intake was linked
to increased alertness.
In addition, there was no relationship noted between protein consumption and
sleepiness or alertness.
My reaction? No kidding. Please tell me something I DON'T
know.
And by the way, there are a lot of holes here that most people won't
pick up on, but they're glaringly obvious to me.
Here's what you SHOULD know about the connection between your diet and
daytime fatigue that is not spelled out in this study:
A fat by any other name
The authors of the study I quoted above did not spell out specifically what
KINDS of fats and carbohydrates were eaten by the subjects in the study.
Unfortunately, that can make a HUGE difference.
First of all, fats are typically harder for the body to digest than
other foods. And since digestion requires a massive amount of energy,
it's no surprise that someone eating a lot of fat may feel wiped out
afterwards.
However, fats are also crucial to brain and nervous system health
(especially Omega-3 essential fatty acids)...and studies have also shown that
they are necessary for mental alertness and sharpness!
The real danger with fats is when you are eating TRANS-FATS, my
friend.
Not only are these lab creations not found anywhere in Nature, but
they're next to impossible for your body to break down...so your energy
gets obliterated as your body desperately struggles to digest these
"Franken-fats."
Plus they clog your arteries, light fires of inflammation and cause a
cascade of free radical damage.
If you are eating margarine, processed foods (including snack chips) or any
fried fast food, you are most assuredly taking in trans-fats by the truckload.
Oh, and probably suffering daytime fatigue as a result.
All carbs are not created
equal either
Most carbohydrates are broken down pretty easily by your body, but the type
of carbs you eat can also make a difference in your energy level.
Simple carbs (like sugar) and refined carbs (like cake, pie, candy,
doughnuts, cookies, white rice, etc.) and are broken down VERY quickly by your
body and absorbed into your bloodstream, creating a tidal wave of glucose
flooding your veins.
And a "perky" feeling in you...at least initially.
On the other hand, complex carbs (like whole grains, vegetables and legumes)
take a bit longer to digest, so they provide a slower, steady, more even supply
of glucose to your bloodstream.
And a more consistent energy supply to YOU.
Now, the problem arises when you eat mainly simple and refined carbs, and
flood your bloodstream with glucose day in and day out.
You see, when glucose enters your bloodstream, your body sends an alert to
your pancreas to release insulin. The insulin tells your cells to
"take in" the glucose, thereby bringing your blood glucose level back
to where it should be.
But when your bloodstream is repeatedly flooded with glucose, your
pancreas is taunted over and over, and it can begin to overreact and
start releasing too MUCH insulin.
This causes your blood sugar level to plummet through the floor and
voila--you have a mid-afternoon "crash."
Sound familiar?
The BIG glaring omission
The biggest, glaring omission in this study is the fact that the kind of
foods you eat TOGETHER has the single biggest impact on your energy
throughout the day (or lack thereof).
You see, most people eat meals made up of every kind of food known to
man--protein, starch, carbs, dairy, etc.
Complex meals like this are extremely hard for your body to break
down--in fact, studies have shown the digestive process can go on for 8-10 hours
or more!
When your body is using up boatloads of energy trying to digest your
foods for all those hours, guess what--there is none left for YOU. That's
why you get sleepy after lunch and need coffee or soda to stay awake at your
desk!
And if you still doubt what I'm saying, then just think of how you felt
after last Thanksgiving dinner.
Enough said.
But the good news is when you eat combinations of foods that CAN be broken
down easily by your stomach and intestines, your system doesn't NEED to use up
all your energy for digestion.
That leaves LOTS more energy for whatever you want to do!
The guidelines in the Great Taste No Pain
- http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
and Great Taste No Gluten
- http://www.greattastenogluten.com/great.asp
health systems will help keep you energized and alert all day long because
both programs show you exactly what combinations of foods to eat for easy,
breezy digestion and LOTS more energy for YOU.
You can see a difference in your level of alertness as quickly as your very
first meal!
And don't worry--it's easy to do and I spell everything out for you.
Another diet-related cause
of daytime fatigue
Here's another diet-related cause of daytime drowsiness:
Being low in Vitamin B12.
You see, vitamin B12 is an important catalyst in your metabolism that
generates your body's energy from the (hopefully good!) fats and carbs you eat.
So when you're low in B12, (and estimates show that as many as 1 out of
every 4 adults in the US is), your body most assuredly isn't producing
energy as efficiently as it should...
And you can end up needing toothpicks to keep your eyelids up in the
afternoon as a result!
Eating more dietary sources of B12 (like meats, fish and yogurt) can help,
but since B12 isn't always easily absorbed in the digestive tract, you may not
be getting as much as you'd like.
That's why one of the best ways to help address and reverse B12 deficiency
is through supplementation.
And for a high-quality, easily absorbed supplement, Hydroxaden 2.5 is your ticket.
- http://www.bluerockholistics.com/product/hydroxaden.asp
Hydroxaden 2.5 is a quick, easy vitamin B12
spray that gives you 2.5 mg of hydroxocobalamin (a well-proven, effective form
of B12). Just five sprays under your tongue each day is all it takes.
Studies show that B12 taken sublingually like this can be quickly and
efficiently absorbed right into your bloodstream from the mucus membranes in
your mouth.
The bottom line
The bottom line is, it is true that your diet DOES have a tremendous
impact on your level of alertness during the day.
Now you know ALL the reasons why that is true, as well as what to do to help
keep YOU alert and energized all day long.
And if your boss notices the difference in you and gives you a raise, be
sure to let me know! :-)
To your health,
Sherry Brescia

PPS: Colleen has tons
of energy and is off Prilosec!
Hi Sherry,
I started your Great Taste No Pain plan
almost 2 weeks ago and have been telling everyone at work about it.
I cannot believe how many people are suffering
with digestive issues. It's crazy. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and my
colon was perforated. I had no choice by to have the surgery. It was an
excruciating experience.
Since starting your plan I feel fantastic. I was taking Prilosec every
day and still having acid indigestion. I no longer even need to take it.
I have lost weight and have tons of
energy!
Also, I used to get headaches daily and have
not had one since starting the plan.
This has saved my life.
I will not stop until I can get my loved ones to listen to me about your plan!
Thank you,
Colleen
