Seeking Justice

It’s really unfortunate that the vast majority of the population turns to stimulants rather of looking to whole foods for a boost of invigorating energy. I guess part of the problem is that humans are generally lazy and would rather take the “magic pill” to fix all their problems .

But when it comes to having more energy the irony is that the stimulating foods such coffee, sugar, and energy drinks actually fatigue your body in the long run. Sure they give you a quick jolt of energy but then their real effects are felt as they wear down your adrenal glands, disrupt your blood sugar, and create a huge crash after the initial high. Unfortunately these types of foods are drugs and do not give us natural energy

Ok, then, what are some natural foods that will give you long-lasting energy?
I just want to be clear that no single food will give you more energy than your overall diet . Sure you could add in some of the energy foods I describe below, but if your diet is horrific to begin with, then you will not see the sustained level of energy that you want.

Your ultimate goal should be to eat a diet that consists of foods that have high energy nutrients instead of looking for the one miracle food . This means eating more raw living foods. When a food has not been cooked, it maintains its natural energy properties (not to mention all of its other nutrients). Thus, when you eat raw food diets, you’re giving your body direct energy from the ultimate source – the sun – as most of these foods will be plant-based, and the sun is where they get their energy.

The closer you eat to the bottom of the food chain, the more nutrition and energy will you acquire . Think about it – it takes more of your energy to digest animal meat than it does to digest a green vegetable, right? Plus, this green veggie will have the maximum amount of living energy versus a dead animal carcass.
You need to follow a high energy dier to have more energy . After that, you can start to knit pick and see which specific foods give you more energy, if at all.

To help you get started, here is a list of some my favorite energizing foods:

- Wheat grass – if you haven’t tried wheat grass then you’re missing out on some big time energy and nutrition. Growing it and juicing yourself can be a bit of a pain but you can easily get a “shot” at most health food stores or juice bars. 1 oz of wheat grass juice packs more nutrition than 2.5 lbs of green leafy veggies!

- Raw cacao (nibs or powder) – unbelievable source of magnesium, antioxidants, and life force. These give me a natural high that can last for hours without the subsequent like you would get from coffee and caffeinated beverages.

- Goji berries – another incredible source of antioxidants and polysaccharides that ameliorate cell-to-cell communication. I actually combine these with my raw cacao nibs and complementary tastes work really well together.
Just remember that instead of grabbing that coffee or other quick fixes, look for foods to provide incredible nutrition to get that extra bit of energy . The key still remains to follow a raw foods diet, as much as possible, that will provide you with tons of life force, alkalinity, and nutrients to help your body thrive.
