The body gets energy (which is essential for life) from food.-
Not all carbohydrates raise blood sugar in the same way. Refined carbohydrates (*High Glycemic Index GI foods) are digested relatively quickly, causing blood glucose to rise quickly. This rapid rise triggers the pancreas to release excessive amounts of insulin, the hormone which regulates blood sugar. This in turn causes your blood glucose level to drop to a very low level. As a result, you will feel sluggish and tired, as well as hungry, not long after eating.
*High GI foods include: white bread, glucose, sugary foods & white potatoes
Similarly, what meal strategies do you suggest for staying charged all day? (ie. eating breakfast, snacks, lunch advice, dinner, late night snacking, no eating after a certain time…). Eating high fiber foods, whole grains and low GI foods as well as eating regular meals and snacks will all ensure that your blood glucose levels remain stable allowing you to sustain your energy level throughout the day.
Dieting can decrease energy stores if you are not meeting your caloric requirements. To prevent this, eat nutrient dense foods and choose low GI foods. Additionally, decreasing portion sizes can help reduce calories without depriving your body of key nutrients.
For optimum health, all the energy we expend during exercise must be balanced by energy we obtain from food. Furthermore, to maximize your workouts proper pre and post nutrition is essential!
