Use Food Focus Gain Tons Energy Summer Nutrition
   
While there are many effective ways to get more energy and build your productivity,
I've found it very important to pay attention to the seasons.
"But wait a minute," you say. "Aren't I supposed to be eating great food all of the
time "
Yes, you are! And after you understand what foods work best for your body, you
should then adjust to fit the seasons. Over the past few years, I've found this to be
the best way to get healthy, build my productivity, and increase my energy, for five (3 food and then 2 focus) reasons:
1. Melons
Excellent hydration food
An energized breakfast boost
Best eaten on their own for digestion (which also always means energy) purposes
Excellent calcium source
High on the list of anticarcinogenic foods
2. Cucumber
Contains 90% water
Relieves edema
Effective diuretic
Cleanses and purifies the blood
Helps break down protein (again, better digestion!)
3. Alfalfa Sprouts
Lowers cholesterol
Augments the urinary system
Excellent source of chlorophyll
High Food Mineral Source (calcium, iron, potassium more!)
30% protein by dry weight
Stay Focused on the REAL You for Summer
If we grew up in the United States we most likely grew up with associating summer
with getting out of school SUMMER VACATION! As adults we tend to want to give
ourselves the summer off as well, but we need to renegotiate what that means.
Taking a "break" doesn't need to mean eating EnergyPoor Foods, but
instead can be about tuning in and listening to our individual body and what it
needs. Here a couple of ways to do that:
1. Look Local -
Don't think of summer as all about looking for local summer activities, but also
about what is being grown near you. What is the natural message that is being given
to you about what to eat this time of year (we are so spoiled by our grocery stores!)
Spend some time searching out Farmer's Markets, Co-ops, or just poking around
your grocery store and checking out the produce labels as a clue to where the food
has come from. Summer is definitely the time of year to stay away from frozen and
canned food it really isn't necessary!
2. Take a Break Everyday -
What do you want for yourself and your body for the summer and always Use
some of the extra daylight energy to connect inward not just outward. Think
about ways that you can take a daily or weekly "vacation" for just a few minutes or
hours. The more you give yourself some space and time on a regular basis, the less
you will need to take a vacation through your food.

Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Disease
Cholesterol is an essential building block of every cell in the body, required for all metabolic processes. It is particularly important in the production of nerve tissue, bile and certain hormones. On average, our body produces about half of a gram to one gram of cholesterol per day, depending on how much of it the body needs at the time. By and large, our body is able to produce 400 times more cholesterol per day than what we would obtain from eating 3,5 ounces (100 grams) of butter. The main cholesterol producers are the liver and the small intestine, in that order. Normally, they are able to release cholesterol directly into the blood stream, where it is instantly tied to blood proteins. These proteins, which are called lipoproteins, are in charge of transporting the cholesterol to its numerous destinations. There are three main types of lipoproteins in charge of transporting cholesterol: Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL).
