Diet for Peak Performance

“Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!”  - Ecclesiastes 10:16

Many eat like they are having a feast in the morning hours. This does not only affect their health but also affect their productivity. The scripture above says it is a curse to feed that way and expect to live long. The rulers would die at young age while lads would be forced to assume rulership.  Food is meant to preserve us and help live longer while at peak performance at what we do.

The human body carries out three specific functions on a daily basis to keep the body balanced for health and also peak performance. Each of these functions has an 8-hour window for their peak performance.

During the morning hours (4:00am – 12:00noon), the body’s peak activity is what is known as detoxification. During this period, the body is at its peak to get rid of metabolic wastes, end-products of other functions within the body from cell to cell.

Toxicity is a major cause of several disease conditions, a situation that arises when the toxic materials are retained within the cells, tissues, organs or systems of the human body.  This is the reason the need to empty the bowels comes in the morning as the body naturally tries to exit end-products of foods, metabolic wastes, etc. from the body.

This leads to the theory about how to eat during the detoxification window for the body to be at its best in removing wastes from the body. Some rules will help anyone who wants to live healthy or trying to recover from any disease process.

Firstly, it is important to note that raw foods should be taken rather than cooked meals. Raw food will include juices, smoothies, vegetables, salads, etc. Another good example of what to take will be whole wheat toast with peanut butter, home-made plant based milk taken with whole grain cereals, etc. Natural sweeteners like date, organic honey, raisins, and stevia can be used in place of refined sugar.

Raw foods help digestion while cooked meals exerts undue pressure on your digestive functions. Raw food will enable the body minimize distraction due to digestion and help the body focus on its core activity for the window which is detoxification.

Secondly, breakfast should be simple as this will not place additional task on the body while trying to clean up the wastes from the previous day. Polished foods, grains, cereals, processed foods, sugars, etc should be avoided while replacing them with examples stated above.

The sweat pores on the skin are also exit point for toxin removal and this can be aided thru physical exercise.  Aerobics during the morning hours is a plus at this stage. To have breakfast as recommended above requires a plan and the will to follow thru.

Always remember that where is chaos and disorderliness, it is a curse. We are no longer under such curses as blessed people of God. Our lives should reflect order and progress which are evident signs of the blessing of God over our lives.

Confession: I am blessed. My affairs are ordered and influenced by the blessings from the Lord.

PARENTS ALERT: FOOD & DIET AFFECTS YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOR AND LEARNING

By
This topic is a response to several demands and enquiry as regards the role food plays in behaviors, moods, addictions, etc. Special attention will be given to what parents should watch out for especially as children are returning to school. Our food has changed so drastically in the last few decades it is no wonder that food-related behavior and learning problems in children are increasing. What is clear is that children not only behave better but concentrate better, follow instructions better, and remember more when they eat healthier food. It should be noted that concentration, following instructions, and memory are fundamental building blocks of the learning process and vital for success at school. Moms and Dads certainly intend to do the best for their children, and part of this can mean feeding them “regular food” that won’t set their children apart from their friends. But in doing so, our children are being sabotaged in ways that make it difficult for them to ...

Silver is effective at both preventing and combating bacterial illnesses and infections because it does not corrode making it an effective choice of cookware though expensive. Ancient Greeks realised th...
