Food for Fuel
from Limitless Level Hosted by Brendan Kearney
In this episode I am discussing the concept of fuel efficiency as it relates to food as the body's fuel source for energy. For every time we eat is a chance to either energize and nourish us or rob the body of energy and it comes down to how 'efficient' the 'fuel' is. Not all calories are created equal and when it comes to plant based vs animal food, there is often a vast difference between how well the human body can utilize and absorb one or the other. It is a common myth that we need certain nutrients from animal products especially protein but what it comes down to is the efficiency of the food and protein source for that matter. If a food source requires more energy to break down, it will break us down, making us feel heavy and lethargic. That is why it is critical to eat foods that energize and build us up. Energy equals more life force and the more nutrient dense calories we consume, the more efficient our bodies run and the better we perform. There is a vast difference between plant and animal foods and how they impact our overall health and energy levels. And if the food is higher in calories, lower in nutritional value, it will always cost us energy. So why not eat for energy in the way mother nature intended?
