HEALTH AND ENERGY

HEALTH AND ENERGY 

(Why we should not eat rice and meat together? What are the things that we are doing wrong?)

Talking about food, why is a very healthy diet essential? Imagine you have the best bike in the world and what you are doing is you are putting Diesel instead of Petrol, will it work? It will but for short term anyway it won’t work properly. And same is the case with our body and brain if we will not give it a proper food then same thing will happen. Let me talk about Steven Smith, a medical doctor he said, “Take care of your stomach for the first fifty years, and it will take care of you for next fifty years”.See here, we need energy to do great works or if we want progress in life. But want is happening is that we are doing everything wrong. We are taking wrong diet and because of which all our energy is being wasted on digestion of unhealthy diet that we consume, result we don’t have any remaining energy to do great works.

There are so many things that we are doing in daily basis and that are totally wrong:

1.     Water:

We enjoy drinking water while having food. But we should remember that we shouldn’t drink water while having meal or before and after 45 min of having meal. Drinking and Eating were not meant to go together. Adding liquids to your food dilutes the enzymes that are needed for proper digestion of foods. When we’re settling in to enjoy a meal, our stomach will start releasing the exact amount of gastric juices that are needed to digest the food you’re shovelling into your system. However, if liquid is going in as well, not only does the water dilute the digestive juices, but water is absorbed through the walls of the stomach until the contents are concentrated enough for the digestive juices to act. When this happens, the concentrated substance ends up being thicker than the food your stomach was expecting to accommodate for and you won’t have enough gastric juice to break it down. This leads to undigested food being absorbed through the stomach wall and sneaking into your system.

2.     Meat:

Different types of food require different types of digestive juices. For instance, we eat Rice and Meat together and let me explain why having food combining carbohydrate and protein is not good for our health. Let me connect Chemistry and Biology, different foods are digested differently the food like rice requires an alkaline digestive medium whereas protein food requires an acid medium i.e hydrochloric acid. Our chemistry says that acid and alkaline cannot work at the same time. They neutralize each other forming undigested food which indeed becomes the soil of bacteria that will eventually lead to cause different digestive disorder and gas.

3.     White Flour

What if I say, most of the food that we have as a lunch is not healthy at all. The Noodles, Biscuits, Burger and Pizza are the food that we should avoid on daily basis.White Flour is loaded with refined carbohydrates.Refined carbohydrates are really nothing more than simple sugars, which cause blood glucose levels to spike dramatically. Consuming excess simple carbs is strongly correlated with weight gain, metabolic disorders, diabetes and numerous other health maladies. We may remember our childhood where we tried to make glue from white flour or rice.Imagine this sticky food in your stomach. There are alternatives to enriched white flour. Try replacing enriched flour with whole wheat, oat flour, rye flour, almond meal, brown rice flour, or millet flour. 

To sum up, healthy food are very essential to get enormous energy. Knowing about food combination is essential like a meat and rice should not be eaten with the combination.
