The Metabolic Code Diet consists primarily of organic protein sources, organic vegetables including lettuces and greens, organic nuts, beans, legumes, fruits and healthy organic fats. Grain and starch servings should be limited and your individual dietitian will determine how many daily servings are recommended. Because food allergies and intolerances are involved in so many health conditions, the diet also eliminates the intake of wheat (and/or gluten depending on the health condition) as well as cow’s milk dairy as much as possible.

Mood lifters

As far as mood nutrients, there are several making the headlines, including:
5-HTP—This nutrient is a serotonin supporter.† Serotonin is a major player in neurotransmitters, which are responsible for communicating the various needs of the body between brain cells and peripheral cells of the nervous system. In short, serotonin is a “feel good” chemical that keeps your focus sharp and your concentration keen, enabling you to get a good night’s sleep and to awake happy and energized.†
Vinpocetine and gingko biloba—These nutrients have a history of supporting memory, optimizing function, improving mood, and focus.†
Folate, vitamin B12, thiamine, and iron—These nutrients can be key for positive effects in mood balance.†
Choline—This essential nutrient readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is said to support a positive mood.†
Omega-3s—Omega-3 deficiency can have an adverse effect on the mood. The body inefficiently synthesizes DHA, so we need dietary DHA from sources like oily fish. It offers a rich source of omega-3s—especially preformed EPA and DHA, the most neurologically active forms of omega-3s. Awareness of omega-3 benefits is growing; there was a 5 percent increase in awareness of the importance of omega-3s in brain health (from 17 percent to 22 percent) between 2006 and 2007. Omega 3s have been shown to improve the mood of menopausal and perimenopausal women, too, according to a February 2009 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.†
Probiotics—Even probiotics are on the scene when it comes to a positive mood. Probiotics may give added support for gastrointestinal health during these stressful times.†

Four Simple Energy Rules for Athletes

Please understand that energy and stamina doesn't come from sugar. Taking in simple carbs like sugar, corn syrup, pasta, or bread before an event will tend to cause a quick spike in your blood sugar followed by a corresponding fall, making you feel more exhausted than before. More than anything, simple carbs and excess complex carbs will make you sluggish and hamper your performance.
If you want to create energy naturally, here are five simple rules to follow:

Just before a game or hard workout, eat a little bit of fruit, such as an apple, plum, pear, citrus fruit (not juice) or berries. They're great right before a game or workout, as they give you a small spike without the massive plummet.

Two to three hours before a game or hard workout, complex carbs, fats and a small amount of protein will do the trick. Sweet potatoes, brown rice, olive oil, almond butter, flax oil, walnuts, almonds and eggs are all easy to digest and can give you more sustained energy for the day.

Post exercise, your body is nitrogen-poor and your muscles have been broken down. That's why you need amino acids from animal proteins like chicken, beef and eggs, as well as vegetable carbohydrates.

Although many experts have advised athletes to load up on carbs before a long-distance event, fact is, burning sugar is not what happens over long distances. After a short period of time, particularly at slower paces, your body is burning fats. Therefore, rather than loading up on carbs, more long distance runners are loading up on fats and small amounts of proteins prior to racing, with no more carbs than the body can easily store anyway.

What About Sports Drinks?

The ONLY time you should resort to these drinks is after vigorous exercise, such as cardiovascular aerobic activity, for a minimum of 45 minutes to an hour, and you’re sweating profusely as a result of that activity. Anything less than 45 minutes will simply not result in a large enough fluid loss to justify using these high-sodium, high-sugar drinks.

Just trying to get it out of my head

Posting on this site is supposed to be a way to keep my sanity - and decrease the number of notes i write to myself just taking up space by the computer and on the table.
