This is from NHS is this guide perfect not all but it is a good guide. Showing the best way to keep your energy levels to follow a balance and healthy diet. This is more about showing that sometimes we look for fancy solutions when all we have to do is going back to basics. Sometimes this is the best way that why in the book I show some basics things because that what work. Of course, along with diet getting enough sleep.
The main recommendations are to:
- eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day
- base a meal on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates
- have some dairy
- eat some beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other protein – including 2 portions of fish every week, 1 of which should be oily
- choose unsaturated oils and spreads, and eat them in small amounts
- drink 6 to 8 glasses of fluid a day
They did recommend soya as alternative to dairy for men my recommend is not to eat a lot of soya maybe the occasional soy sauce because soy contains phytoestrogens that effect male hormone testosterone. So, beware.
As for some dairy part. For most part dairy is just another form of protein and fat. However, for people who need lot of calcium in their life is very good source. Of course, there other food rich in calcium such as bread and anything made with fortified flour, green leafy vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, fish where you eat the bones, such as sardines.
I know carbohydrates are not fashionable but they help to give the body energy Of course, like anything too much of anything is never good. There reason runner’s carbo load for race to give themselves energy.
