Let's see what energy producing foods our monthly contributor, Carolyn Akens, has to share with us....
Energy Producing Foods
Hot Foods: Cayenne, garlic, ginger, radishes, other hot peppers, etc. are great for digestion, circulation, inflammation, blood movers, etc. Fresh is best!
All raw nuts & seeds: High in essential fatty acids. 3-4 Brazil nuts per day, they prevent muscle loss, and help build muscle. Sunflower seeds are very high in B vitamins; they easily convert glycogen (stored energy) into glucose when needed.
Flax Seeds/Oil: Incredible Essential fat. Crucial for everyone, especially athletes.
Avocado: Extremely nutritious fat, aids in building muscle. Eat at least 3 per week.
Sea Salt: Not all sea salts are the same. A high quality one provides loads of trace and electrolyte minerals. Especially the minerals lost in sweat. A high quality sea salt starts digesting anything it touches and brings fluid balance inside the body. My favorites are Celtic Sea Salt and Pink Himalayan Pins Sea Salt.
