Why Do We Lack Energy?
Do you ever wonder why you lack so much energy at certain times? If so, most likely your experiencing a sudden drop of sugar level in your blood. Here's why.
When the body absorbs too much concentrated and refined sugar, the pancreas is confronted with an unusual situation; hyperglycaemia. It must act immediately by massively secreting insuline, otherwise a high concentration of sugar in the blood would lead to diabetic coma and death.
The problem arises when the level of sugar in the blood starts dropping, the pancreas itself isn't slowing down fast enough, which now makes the level of sugar drop dramatically: hence, hyperglycaemia and all its symptoms - shaking, shivers, irritability, dizziness, fatigue, and so on...and your lack of energy.
Too often we make the error of rushing to eat something sweet, made of refined sugars. Refined sugar is a concentrated chemical product, which makes it comparable to opium, because of its addiction ingredients.
Natural, also called simple sugars, are glucose, fructose, and galactose which are found in fruits and green vegetables, and honey. Other sugars, also referred to as double sugars, are of the concentrated type and are found in sugar cains, beets, syrops, molasses, malt, and table sugar. These sugars will regulate (slow down) the liver and pancreas, so that you regain your usual energy.
The starch types are complexe and are found in cereals (wheat, rice, rye, barley, oats, birdseeds, buckwheat etc., - as well as starchy foods such as (potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas etc.
So now you clearly understand your sudden lack of energy, but instead of reaching out for chocolat, cake, or something else of the sort, just grab an apple or some other fruit to slow down your overactive pancreas. The poor thing didn't know any better and was trying to save your life. In time it would slow down by itself end allow you to regain that normal energy. But if you lack energy and don't want to wait after your pancreas to catch on, give it a nudge!
