If you are what you eat and you don’t have enough energy, then your diet and lifestyle is either not providing the energy or not enabling you to release it as efficiently as you should. You therefore need to start making changes but before doing so, there is another vital factor to appreciate.
The evolution of mankind is a relatively slow thing, which means that to all intents and purposes, our bodies and more importantly our metabolisms are still pretty much the way they were 1000 years ago. Sure, there have been some changes as we have (for example) gradually become taller, but the fact is that our internal ‘workings’ have not changed a great deal.
However, our daily diet has changed by a massive amount, perhaps far more than you might ever have imagined. For example, whereas before the turn of the 20th century (in 1890), the average US citizen consumed 5 lbs of sugar a year, the figure is now 135 lbs per annum, and that is up from 26 lbs a little over 20 years ago!
Furthermore, as the diet of most citizens of developed nations has become increasingly focused on processed and convenience foods, our consumption of processed white flour, meat products of no determinable origin and the like have also skyrocketed.
The results of these dietary changes have unfortunately been overwhelmingly negative in a huge number of different ways, most of which do us no favors. And the starting point for all these negative effects is the fact that the human digestive system has not adapted quickly enough to accept these changes and still be as efficient as it should be.
What this means is that for most of us, our digestion is struggling to process the food that we feed into our system every day and whilst our digestive tract does a remarkably good job everything considered, it is unfortunately fighting a battle that it can never win.
As a result of these changes, your gut or colon has gradually built up a store of toxic and noxious substances over the years that your digestive system does not have the ability to push through. Most of these substances come from tour diet, with others contributed by the environment (from the air you breathe), medical drugs and so on.
As these materials congregate in your colon, it naturally becomes less effective which in turn means that the buildup rate of toxic substances accelerates. It’s a classic vicious circle because the more accumulated rubbish there is, the less efficient your system becomes so even more is acquired. Perhaps not surprisingly, all of this toxic material buildup inevitably slows you down and reduces your energy levels.
For instance, many millions of people in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and the like regularly suffer constipation and/or diarrhea which are both classic signs that your colon is not in tiptop condition.
