The key behind your being active and ready to function as to carry out all your daily physical activities without feeling fatigue, is the amount of energy your body possessed. Therefore body energy remains fundamental if you must carry out your day-to-day activities. Hence, the amount of work you can do, activities you can participate on and your daily physical achievements, all rely on the amount of body energy you possessed. You find out that so many people may be healthy, but at the same time possessed very little or no body energy, which on the other hand affects their daily input and output. For this reason, I want to take a little time to explore you through the topic of today's content:TEN SIMPLE FOOD ITEMS THAT CAN BOOST YOUR BODY ENERGY:
Consequent to today's content, we have certain key points we shall be considering, for a perfect understand of this great topic. Thus, we shall be splitting this topic as to help us attend to the following questions;
1. What is body energy?
2. What categories of body energy do we have?
3. What are the major sources of body energy?
4. How is body energy produced or generated?
5. What are the importance of body energy?
6. What are the ten simple food items that can boost your body energy?
By the time we are done answering the above questions, I believe you must have gotten the perfect understanding of the importance of today's blog content.
To this end, let's get started with;
WHAT IS BODY ENERGY?
As every other machines and mechanically driven equipment needs some amount of energy to function and carry out their own tasks, so also the human body. Hence energy is not only synonymous with human being, because anything that must do work or carry out one task or the other must possess a given amount of energy that is good enough to be able to carry out the particular function. Hence body energy can be defined as the ability and capability of the human body to function, move and carry out various kind of activities without the feeling of fatigue. Thus, body energy has become the driven force that enables the human body to function, from very common cellular activities to the complex or even the more complex ones. It therefore becomes important that the human body must possess enough energy, becomes man is surrounded with works and activities, within and without. It is also worthy of note that the type of activity you can partake in, is dependent on the type or category of energy you possessed. At this point therefore, we shall enter the second aspect of the question;
WHAT CATEGORIES OF BODY ENERGY DO WE HAVE?
Majorly, body energy is categorized into two different types. That is;
1. Kinetic energy.
2. Potential energy.
We shall be looking at these two relative to our body, this is because even machines possessed the above two categories of energy. But within the scope of this content, we shall be limiting our discussion as regard to human being, since we are talking about human health here. Therefore in regard to human being;
What is kinetic energy?
This is the energy that the body needs to carry out its daily activities, like; walking, running, sports, lifting, working and every other physical activities that involves motion or change of position. It therefore means that when the body possess low kinetic energy, it becomes very difficult for the man to carry out some of these physical activities. When you are too weak that you cannot walk, run, or do any work, it is evident that you possessed little or no kinetic energy. Thus, man cannot exist on planet earth without the possession of enough kinetic energy, because the earth is full of activities.
What is potential energy?
This is the energy that the body stores from the food we eat, which can be transformed to kinetic energy when we want to do any form of physical activity. This energy is stored right in the muscles or in the fat cells. It is the type of food you eat that can determine the amount of potential energy your body can store, thus determining the amount of kinetic energy you will produce when you are ready to do work. It is because of this category of energy that makes it to become paramount for you to take cognizance of the kind of food you eat. This is because so many food items may not be a good source of potential body energy. Hence, this takes us to the next question of this content;
WHAT ARE THE MAJOR SOURCES OF BODY ENERGY?
Talking about the major sources of body energy is a clear proof that not everything we may consume as food or drinks can supply energy which the body needs to carry out its activities. Hence the major sources of body energy may be classified into three types as listed below;
1. Adenosine triphosphate(ATP): This is the molecule that stores energy in the body in the form of phosphate bond which is broken during hydrolysis to released the adenosine diphosphate(ADP) which helps to power the cellular processes of the body. This is a great source of body potential energy, which when released, the body can be able to do works. The second energy source is;
2. The Food we eat: This is the primary energy source as far as the body is concerned. Food substances like; carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and fats, are very rich sources of body energy. The class the food substance you consume belongs to, determines the amount of energy that will be stored in your body for daily activities. The last but not the least source of body energy is;
3. The nutrients: Nutrients talks about the chemical composition in the food you eat. It has been tested and proved that foods rich in vitamins and fats are very good sources of the body energy. Such food nutrients supplies a large amount of energy to the body. You can get vitamins majorly from fruits and fats from foods like; butter, meat, fish, cheese, etc.
All the above, play crucial roles in supplying the body with a large quantity of energy. We now move to the next question;
HOW IS BODY ENERGY PRODUCED OR GENERATED?
When we talk about the idea of producing or generating body energy, it can be divided into the following two ways;
1. Through cellular respiration: This is the process in which glucose in the body is converted to energy with a release of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When this ATP is thus converted to ADP, energy is released for the body to carry out its activities. Thus, cellular respiration plays a crucial role in the generation of energy in the body.
2 Through the process of metabolism: By metabolism, we meant the breaking down or synthesis of the body's organic molecules, which also leads to a release of energy which the body can use to function. Thus, through the breaking down of these organic molecules, a huge amount of energy is generated in the body to be used by the body.
We shall move to the next question, right now;
WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BODY ENERGY?
As I have stated earlier at the beginning of this content and from what you have seen so far, you can now come to the knowledge that body energy is not just important but very useful in the life of every man. Not minding, I shall also explore through the indubitable importance of body energy especially to man. The importance of this, is summarized under the following sub-headings:
1. For physical activities: It is totally and completely obvious that no man can be able to carry out, partake or function in any physical activity, without enough body energy. Without body energy, activities like; walking, running, exercising and even working, can never be possible. Hence, it takes body energy to take part on any daily physical activity.
2. Contraction of the muscle: It is the expansion and contraction of the human muscles that brings about movement, and without enough body energy, the contraction of the muscle cannot take place. Which means that movement cannot also take place.
3. Cellular functions: For the human body cells to function regularly, properly and effectively, a suitable amount of energy is required. It is this cellular functions that brings about growth, repair and maintenance of the body cells and tissues.
4. Metabolic activities: The processes of metabolism, which is a very important process in human body system, cannot occur without enough body energy. This means that without body energy, the breaking down and synthesis of food nutrients cannot take place in the human body, and this can result to a serious health issue.
5. Functioning of the nervous systems: The nerve impulses that allows us to think, move and respond to different environmental stimuli, cannot take place without enough body energy.
6. Regulation of the body hormones: The production and regulation of the important body hormones like; growth hormones, insulin, testosterone, prolactin, estrogen, and so on, which helps in controlling different body functions, is brought about by body energy.
7. Functioning of the immune system: The body immune system, which protects the body from so many dangerous diseases, cannot function properly without body energy.
All these have justified the fact that our body needs enough energy for us to exist and enjoy our existence on the planet earth. To this end, we shall be considering the last section of today's content, which formed the crux of this content.
