Feeling tired and sluggish? It might be time to take a closer look at your diet.
The food we eat plays a huge role in our overall health and well-being, and our current food system isn't always doing us any favors.
If you're interested in figuring out if you have any food sensitivities or intolerances, try the elimination diet. Here's how to get started:
- Cut out processed and unhealthy foods and focus on whole, unprocessed options like eggs, coffee, steak, and water.
- Slowly reintroduce other foods and pay attention to how they make you feel.
As you eliminate unhealthy foods from your diet, you'll start to notice a difference in how you feel. And as you add back in other foods, you'll be more attuned to how they affect you.
Trust me, you'll feel it when you eat bad stuff. But you'll also be increasingly drawn to healthier choices.
In addition to the elimination diet, it's important to make sure you're getting enough protein and water. Here's why:
[Icon] Protein is essential for maintaining good health and keeping our bodies functioning properly.
- It builds and repairs tissues, produces enzymes and hormones, and regulates vital bodily processes. It's also a major component of neurotransmitters, which are crucial for normal brain function, especially as we age.
- If you're doing moderate exercise, aim for 0.41-0.55 grams per pound of body weight per day. If you're doing more intense activities, like running or lifting weights, you'll need more - 0.55-0.77 grams per pound per day.
[Icon] Hydration is also key for maintaining good health.
- Water regulates temperature, keeps the lungs moist, lubricates joints, transports nutrients and oxygen to cells, removes waste and toxins, and even improves brain function.
- Proper hydration is especially important for proper brain function - after all, the brain is made up of about 73% water. As a general guideline, the 8x8 rule recommends that adults drink at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water per day.
By identifying and eliminating any potential food sensitivities or intolerances, you can feel your best and perform at your best.
Along with the elimination diet, make sure to consume enough protein and water to support your body and brain's needs. By taking these steps, you can elevate your work life and overall well-being.
