Fruits and Vegetables that Provide Energy and Stamina

Everyone must admit that there are some days when you feel like you can't get out of bed or you feel like you can't make it up those last flight of stairs. Apparently the good news is that you are not alone, it has been estimated that millions of people suffer from low energy or stamina. Some may suggest that it's the weather or some may argue that they are not getting enough nutrients in their diet.

A healthy breakfast gives you the start you need to feel energized throughout the day. Include foods like whole grain cereals, pitas or bagels, egg whites, turkey bacon, lean ham, peanut butter and low fat cheeses in your breakfast meals. Whole grains provide plant sources of protein, as well as contain other essential vitamins and minerals. Foods made with whole grains contain amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Breads and pastas made from whole wheat and other whole grains metabolize more slowly than those made with refined white flour providing the body with more long-lasting energy. Whole grains are also nutritional sources of zinc; a mineral the body needs to create protein.

eafy green vegetables and fruits contain substantial amounts of vitamins A, K, D, E, folate and calcium. According to Medical News Today, vegetables and fruits also contain phytonutrients, which are organic plant components that promote good health and overall stamina levels. Energy boosters such as iron, glucose and fructose are also found in these food sources that promote physical endurance. Examples of leafy green vegetables include spinach, mustard greens, collard greens, turnips, romaine lettuce, cabbage, Swiss chard, broccoli, arugula, kale and dandelion greens. Apples, grapes, oranges, papaya, watermelon and cantaloupe are beneficial sources of fruits.

Low Fat Ice Cream and Six Pack Abs

When you keep your sugar intake low you force your body to NOT over produce insulin. Insulin is known as the fat storage hormone. So, if you keep your sugar to 15g max per day, then you keep your body from producing too much insulin, and you keep your body from storing fat or belly fat. Pretty simple right? :-)

One of the best ways to keep your daily sugar intake very low is to swap out your favorite sugar filled foods with a “good” alternative that does not contain sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Please don’t be fooled by those ice creams that say “no sugar added”. If you look at the nutrition label on those they usually still have several grams of sugar per serving. If you are like me and try to keep your sugar intake to 15g maximum per day you don’t want to be fooled by some clever marketing chatter like “no sugar added”.

Please watch out for the ice creams that are sweetened with Splenda or other artificial sweeteners as well. I personally don’t like to eat artificial sweeteners because I read how they aren’t that good for us, so I would recommend staying away from artificial sweeteners as well.

Remember, the importance of nutrition is critical in whether you have great abs or no abs! Diet accounts for 80% in achieving that coveted six pack stomach. Divide your meals into 6 per day ensuring protein is in each and every meal. Typically you need 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

With regard to carbohydrates aim for 1g per pound of bodyweight on training days and 0.5g on non-weight training days. This carb rotation has proven to be the most effective method in gaining and preserving muscle whilst cutting for great abs.
