Energy

Caracteristics Symptoms Comments Medical References
Energy has three principal characteristics
  • It is measured in kilojoules or kilocalories (a calorie is equivalent to 4,185 joules);
  • It may change into different forms of energy: chemical energy, stored in molecules like lipids and sugars, that can be transformed in the presence of oxygen;
  •  It is preserved: like the proverb: “Nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transforming,” it is the same with regard to energy present in the body, it remains constant.
Energy contribution comes from the food which is consumed. However, energy from food cannot be used directly to provide for the body’s functions. Cells and tissues consume the greatest quantity of absorbed or stored energy, in order to carry out their functions.

When energy contribution and energy spent are balanced, the body mass remains stable. However, if the balance of absorbed and stored energy is not stable, two situations will occur:

  • Weight gain: Obesity results from excessive storage of triglycerides. Obesity is a disease that affects more and more people everyday. It is a result of regulation and food contribution imbalance;
  • Weight loss: If consumption exceeds contribution, the body will use all of its energy resources and affect certain functions. If this situation is of acute duration, compensatory mechanisms will kick in and start prioritizing vital functions. The affected person will feel weak, become tired, depressed and without energy.
Let us take for example, a person who needs to carryout work that requires an intense amount of intellectual effort. The nervous system will require a large consumption of glucose and will mobilize the muscular system for sources of energy (fat). So additionally, an important physical response occurs at the same time as the intellectual, depleting storage. If the situation persists, the person will lose weight, the nervous and the muscular system would be used up, and the person will feel a great deal of fatigue.

Energy and Vitality
Balance between contribution and consumption of energy and its ability to change form is thus very important. We tend to regard energy as the equivalent of vitality. Life is not easy! Who hasn’t felt tired, miserable, and lazy? Some say, we would like to stay in bed as the thought of doing any sort of daily routine was a drudge. However, this lack of energy, strength, and fatigue are an alarm telling us that our body does not want to do any more work.

To take nonprescription stimulants would only deteriorate our health and our immune system, putting the body in a vulnerable state for disease and other pathological problems.

The consequence of the lack of energy are: gastritis, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, irritability, tiredness, depression, reduced concentration, short-term memory loss, headaches or muscular pains, sleep disturbances, etc.

Implied Factors
We do not necessarily need more sleep to be rested. Six to eight hours of sleep per night would be sufficient. Too much sleep may give the impression of tiredness and lethargy. Energy generates energy. We sleep to renew it. The more our sleep is calm and peaceful, the more energy we would have in the morning.

Certain positive factors may help to preserve energy level: a complete and balanced nutrition, good emotions, quality water, exercise, music, optimistic thoughts etc.

Conclusion
In balancing hormonal systems, one observes durable energy pushes, unlike the short boosts of energy that one receives from stimulants such as caffeine. Unfortunately, caffeine and stimulants tend to have undesired side effects.

The body needs and receives pure energy from oligoelements and nutrients, in order to balance hormones and the nervous system. Blitz increases quality of life as the general health of people who consume it.
There are several symptoms which are grouped under different headings:

Physical fatigue:

  • Decreased physical resistance
  • Exhaustion
  • Inability to do any physical effort
  • Heavy limbs

Intellectual fatigue:

  • Labile attention
  • Decreased lucidity
  • Decreased productivity
  • Difficulty of concentration


COMMENTS

o        Exercise helps to increase energy levels

Many individuals believe that exercising increases tiredness, on the contrary, it increases energy and stimulates metabolism. Exercise carried out each morning, in a routine way, could increase energy levels significantly. Aerobics, walking, running or even a 10 minute training session can make all the difference. Exercising regularly can only be beneficial.

o        Drink enough water

The body needs water to function well. It enters the body and allows for the transport of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the blood system and the cells. Water helps with waste disposal. It intervenes in the phenomena of thermal regulation by the means of perspiration. Dehydration can low down the operations of the body. It is necessary to drink before being thirsty it is a necessity for the human body.

o        Eat Well

It is one of our principal concerns to preserve good health. Healthy and balanced foods depend on the choices and quantity of the food. Balanced foods are those which the positive substances override the negative ones. It is thus necessary to increase in our diets, fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates and proteins, while reducing fats.
