Foreword
In simple terms the body has two very different and complex systems
of energy producing sources. As energy is vital to the very existence of
human activity and survival the two energy style depend on each
other for support. This book shows you what foods give you the most
energy.
Body Energy Basics
Synopsis
Energy is needed for the various functions like maintenance of
growth, daily activities, exercise and many other movements or
functions that are often taken for granted. These are shared between
the two energy systems.
The Basics
The primary and first to be used energy system is the aerobic system.
This system uses oxygen for the function of the muscles and does
demand quite a lot from the general body system.
This demand usually increases the rate and depth of breathing and
blood supply mainly because of the corresponding increase of the
heart rate.
When the body requires more energy which cannot be met due to the
elevated need for more oxygen then the body system automatically
switched to the anaerobic energy system. This system is able to
produce energy without the need to use oxygen.
All this energy is generated through the suitable or correct
consumption of foods. The foods consumed dictate the types of
energy levels each individual is capable of producing.
Muscle fatigue usually occurs when all the energy sources are
exhausted which can be attributed to a variety of reasons; the most
compelling one depends very much on the types of foods consumed.
There are several categories of foods that produce various beneficial
elements for the human body system and noting the ones that create
or enhance the energy generating sources is definitely useful to know.
Therefore this knowledge should help the individual choose the right
types of foods.
The aerobic system works by breaking down the carbohydrates, fatty
acids and amino acids in the foods consumed while the anaerobic
system releases energy from the foods stored in the body, usually
during intense activity bouts
