Why are we tired By Dr. Ziv Meir
Do you feel tired after lunch?
Do you drink several cups of coffee to keep vigilance?
Have you almost fell asleep while driving?
Do you wake up in the morning tired? If the answer to one of the questions above is yes, it's often a diet-related problem.
Why? Out body is a very smart biological machine, seeking to signal us that something in our lifestyle is wrong and something is missing. Usually it is the deficiencies in nutrition, vitamins and minerals and different amino acids.
Until a century ago, most of our diet such as: food and bread were fresh and natural, whole-wheat bread was growing without "additives" chemical, the meat was visiting grazing pasture, the poultry yard grew naturally without hormones injected in them like today.
Their living conditions were not in imprisoned density which is not allowing them to exercise = health. Vegetables were growing organically, without pesticides and toxic, the fish were wild fish, while the sea was clean and not contaminated by mercury and different Funnels.
Our body received his diet naturally. All vitamins and minerals have received particular naturallity without "addons".
Our diet is now broken. We eat chicken and beef grown economically, feed by unnatural food and hormones to grow rapidly to maximum fat. Most fish grow in industry conditions, so they lack the natural food such as seaweed and essential fatty acids, when we eat sea fish, mercury pollution enters our body.
Various world health agencies, now don't recommend eating fish over a certain amount per week, (ie not only it is not healthy but even dangerous) remember the messages in the media every time it finds high pollution in different sea fish.
Today we eat white bread or brown colored, made of wheat without it's shell which holds most of the vitamins and minerals, this bread was left nothing but calories. Fruits and vegetables are full of hormones and various chemicals to give them a beautiful shape and color, and to grow them faster, some grown in greenhouses and they are picked early while they were always immature.
As studies show we lose between 50 and 70 percent of the vitamin group C and B from the time of harvest until the time of eating. In light of these facts, what wonder that we suffer from fatigue? After all, we are suffering from malnutrition-related of vitamins and minerals responsible for the proper functioning of the body, than how can we will not be tired?
Nutrition = energy. Poor nutrition = poor energy.
So what can be done with the daily diet? Eat your food organic and whole-wheat bread (check the contents that it contains whole wheat flour and not colored). Eat as fresh fruits and vegetables as possible and preferably organic.
Add to our diet supplements containing vitamins and minerals that the body does not receive by our daily diet in a controlled manner, in consultation with a professional naturopath, (making the change without consulting may also be harmful.) Add dietary fiber according to the need.
Wish you a good and healthy appetite. Israeli Nutrition studies in Barak College
