How Do We Create Energy?

The Mitochondria is the part of the cell where energy is produced

Lacking in energy quite simply ruins your day and robs you of life’s enjoyment. Here, we list the nutrients that are known to support higher energy levels and some dietary tips too. 

Under What Circumstances Do You Need More Energy?

-  Lethargy 

-  Fatigue 

-  Stamina 

-  Exercise 

-  Athletic Performance 

-  Metabolism 

-  Nervous exhaustion

Energy Creating Cells: Energy creation within our cells is produced in a part of the cell known as the Mitochondria, and this production of energy is known as the Krebs Cycle. This cycle is the primary method that the body employs in releasing energy.  Energy is stored within the body as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Our stores of ATP provide energy to the muscles and brain, and is required for proper heart function and blood circulation, so we can’t exist without this production of ATP.

ATP is effectively our “store” of available energy. It is a primary source of energy for muscles and 20% of the available energy created is essential for brain neurons. Optimum ATP is required for proper heart function and blood circulation.

The following Vitamins help increase Energy

-  Vitamin B1 

-  Vitamin B2 

-  Vitamin B3 

-  Vitamin B5 

-  Vitamin B6 

-  Vitamin B12 

-  Biotin 

-  Folic Acid 

-  Vitamin K

Minerals

-  Magnesium 

-  Copper 

-  GTF Chromium 

-  Iodine 

-  Manganese 

-  Zinc

Nearly all of the above are contained in our Multi Vitamin & Mineral

Additional Nutrients associated with Energy Production: Co-enzyme Q10, Resveratrol and Essential Fatty Acids

Dispelling the sugar myth: We can mistakenly consider sugar a helpful source of energy. In brief, refined sugar is a poison and directly associated with:

-  Premature Aging of cells 

-  Adversely affecting the elasticity of Skin due to the simple sugars damaging collagen 

-  The cardiovascular system can be compromised from simple sugars due to a process known as “Cross-Linking” which produces toxic effects

The Toxic Effects of Cross Linking from consumption of Simple Sugars:

-  A reduction of both Physical and Emotional Energy

-  Premature Aging 

-  Deteriation of Eyes and Vision 

-  Reduced Immune System responses 

-  A reduction of Nervous System responses 

-  Premature aging of Skin appearance 

-  Simple sugars can create an increase in Harmful Free Radicals
