BALANCING YOUR DIET FOR FASTER RECOVERY
LOOK AND FEEL BETTER
Have you wondered why it’s taking you so long to recover from an illness or it’s taking longer than usual to get over the last gym workout? Or are you suffering from ongoing low energy? If you are over say 60 (or even younger) the answer could be quite simple although the process might be a bit more complicated.
Firstly it can be a real problem for older folk whose absorption percentage rate of vitamins and minerals is on the decline and this seriously needs some serious compensation with a diet totally specific to your energy needs.
Even the smallest movement or action anywhere in the body uses energy. When you sleep the body requires energy to maintain processes so in the morning you’re still alive and you can kick off the day replacing some of the lost energy by having breakfast.
So the diet for you is not your average nutritional intake and requires a considerable of amount of self research to make a useful difference. Self research being the key. Advice from well meaning soles can be taken on board but be aware of the useless stuff that does not suit you. Your diet is solely about your very specific needs and only you can keep in touch with how your body reacts to different foods and accurately access what foods are useful for energy and what is not.
Protein is an essential part of any balanced diet but it’s not just about protein because that’s only the part of the process for muscle repair and maintenance. Which is fine in one sense but muscles can’t be maintained or made bigger without exercise and this takes muscle stimulation in the form of exercise. So the start of the process is getting plenty of carbohydrates to provide energy throughout all the muscles in all of the body and at the same time have an appropriate workout program
Your new diet will be mostly about feeding your muscles, organs, and your brain with carbohydrates for energy and that in turn will certainly make it a lot easier for protein digestion and absorption of nutrients in general. Particularly Zinc which amongst a lot of other things is very important for digestion.
Note this is not about adjusting a weight problem. However, with a significant increase in energy, weight imbalances will to a degree, along with a constructive exercise program, correct themselves.
The increase in energy from your new diet is going to take a huge amount of stress off you both physically and mentally. It’s not only going to help you recover faster from workouts and health issues but the drop in stress will make you look younger and generally give you a lift.
The process of looking younger and feeling younger isn’t necessarily easy but if you think about it the satisfaction of maintaining good health surely has to put a smile on your face
