Alertness, awakeness and energy
What’s the best way to lead an active life, in terms of what you put into your body? There are more schools of thought in this discussion than I could list here in a month of Sundays, but I think there are a couple of excellent front runners. One of them of course, and I think it is my favourite, is to drink a sensible amount of really good coffee. Most people who lead an on-the-go lifestyle need a bit of a caffeine fix during the day, and the benefits of drinking caffeine are well known: it is a mild stimulant, meaning that drinking a normal amount – say 2 or 3 cups a day – will be likely to increase your intellectual concentration and focus on a task. It can’t make you more intelligent, but it can help you do whatever it is that you do best! A recent survey came up with the figure that over 80% of the world’s population are regular caffeine drinkers. Although I can’t say how reliable this figure is – or indeed how on earth they calculated it! – it doesn’t strike me as a surprising one. And so many people can’t be wrong, can they?
A second option to drinking the great drink of coffee is one aimed at those with a more physically active lifestyle: drinking protein shakes. These are energy drinks which are high in protein (did you guess??) which are designed to replenish the nutrients lost by active people during physical recreation.
Of course we haven’t even started on health foods like goji berries and wild seeds, but two main contenders for keeping up your energy levels in the 21st century are drinking coffee, and drinking protein shakes.
