Which Habits Are

Draining Your Energy?

Which Give You a Boost?

The Energy Boosting Test

What energizing/draining habits do you have? Highlighting some small changes in your lifestyle can make a big difference to how you feel day to day.

Rate yourself to see how good your lifestyle is...

1. You didn’t get a great night’s rest...how to do fuel up in the morning to make it until noon?

A gigantic frappe, with an extra shot of caramel and 2 shots of espresso ought to do the trick.

You grab a six pack of diet sodas and a muffin on your way out the door.

A regular cup of coffee, an orange juice, some buttered toast and a banana, a few light stretches and you’re out the door.

A big glass of water, a small coffee or a large green tea, a big fruit Smoothie, with avocado and banana, and cranking up the volume with your favourite music playing.
2. It’s 10 am, you feel a little slump coming on, what do you do to refresh yourself?

Grab yet another latte, frappe, cappuccino or another favourite type of coffee treat. Yum!

Get up and walk around a little, perhaps for a chat at the water cooler or call a friend for a little invigorating chat and grab a muffin or cookie before getting back to work.

Do a few stretches and have a tea.

Drink a big glass of lemon water, take a brisk walk to get the blood flowing, then maybe have a cup of green tea.
3. You are craving a snack, but you only have a vending machine at your disposal. What do you buy?

The biggest chocolate or candy bar available...it is the best value!

A pack of gum. Not very exciting, but at least it’s fat-free.

A diet soda. A little boost of energy from the caffeine will hit the spot!

A small pack of raw almonds! Delicious, nutritious, and will provide you with some great energy.
4. Choose one for maximum energy throughout the day:

Fruit juice

Fresh fruit pieces

Fruit flavoured candies
5. Choose one for maximum energy throughout the day:

Coffee!

Sipping lemon water throughout the day

Sipping green tea, or unsweetened iced tea, throughout the day.

Bottled pomegranate juice
6. You are preparing yourself to have a great night’s rest, but you’re a little hungry. What do you do?

Eat some leftover steak and potatoes to really fill you up and lull you to sleep.

Have a glass of water to fill your stomach a little bit, otherwise just wait until the morning...you don’t want to be digesting all night long!

Have half an avocado if you know that your grumbling stomach will be keeping you up at night.
7. A tomato sandwich on rye is a perfectly balanced snack.

True

False
8. A ham and cheese sandwich is hard for your body to process, because it is two types of concentrated proteins at once, so it is not a good choice for a quick “pick me up”.

True. These require my stomach to produce different types of digestive secretions, so they will not be able to be digested at once.

False. Protein will revitalize you and give your body the boost it needs to make it until dinner time!
9. Only people who are suffering from specific ailments, such as poor digestion, lower energy levels or joint pain, benefit from an alkaline diet.

True. Their bodies must be highly acidic, and need to be balanced

Somewhat true, because their diet is most likely what caused them to have these ailments in the first place.

False, these may be the long-term affects of an acidic diet, but everybody benefits from alkalizing their diet.
10. A big glass of milk is a quick and easy way to alkalize the body’s PH score.

True. The calcium in milk, as well as the soothing texture, has a way of settling a stomach plagued by acid reflux.

False. Milk is not properly digested in the stomach of a human adult.
11. When you eat a heavy lunch and feel bloated and exhausted, this is partially caused by fermentation in your stomach.

True. You probably did not combine the right foods, and your body is not able to efficiently digest.

False. You simply ate too much, and digestion is slow and painful because there’s so much of it.
12. Diet soda is a good replacement for water when you are feeling drained.

True

False
13. Eating melon on an empty stomach is great, refreshing snack.

True. Melons are digested very quickly and are also hydrating!

False. Melons are basically just water so you should eat them combined with other foods.
14. People who are not watching their weight will get a great amount of energy by combining a fat with a protein.

True. Lots of calories and protein to keep the body moving!

False. As the body will first digest the protein, the fats will remain undigested for some time, promoting indigestion and bloating.
15. Salad following a “surf and turf” meal will make you feel sluggish because...

You had one too many glasses of wine while enjoying it!

The energy it took to eat the whole meal was a little overwhelming.

The combination of food from the land and food from the sea is not natural.

The salad will rot and ferment because it will be digested only after the proteins...which could take days!
16. Which will give you more energy?

An avocado with balsamic vinegar.

A coffee.

A slice of pizza.

A glass of water.
17. Yogurt is acidic, and should therefore be avoided.

True. Yogurt will wreak havoc on your digestive tract.

False. Although it is acidic, it can be consumed in moderation.
18. Water will not “wake you up”.

True. With no calories, caffeine, or much of anything, water cannot give a person an extra boost of energy.

False. Water helps your body function properly...including your brain!
19. A good alternative sweetener is...

Aspartame.

Corn Syrup

Good ol’ unrefined cane sugar

Stevia
20. Fruits and vegetables should be consumed in moderation.

True. Vegetables and fruit contain sugars and carbohydrates and should not consist of the bulk of a healthy diet.

False. Vegetables and fruits are just about the only thing that a person can eat without too much trouble.

False. Vegetables and fruits should be the bulk of a person’s diet, and knowing how to combine them will maximize their benefit.

Your result is: Regularly Losing Steam

Based on your results, you are probably struggling to keep up your energy during the day. What’s more, you probably often feel sluggish, uncomfortably full, bloated and ready to just lie down and sleep off every big meal of the day.

The reason for the daily lethargy is that your diet is too acidic. When certain foods, even otherwise “healthy” foods are combined, you are creating an acidic mixture that will wreak havoc on your immune system, and cause all kinds of common symptoms you thought you just had to “live with” (gas, bloating, weight that you never seem to be able to shed, indigestion, fatigue...sound familiar?).

Fortunately, it’s easy enough to remedy this problem, when you know which foods are alkaline. Avoiding as many highly acidic foods as you can, and complimenting your diet with more alkaline-rich foods, such as avocado, banana, figs, nuts and seeds as well as lemon water is a great place to start. Learning which foods to eat together is also beneficial to your digestion, which in turn affects your entire body.

Based on your results, you probably have certain days when you mysteriously have no energy. You thought you were eating well...you even went to the gym! So why do you just feel like crawling under your desk and having a nap?

The reason for the energy lull is that your diet is too acidic. When certain foods, even otherwise “healthy” foods are combined, you are creating an acidic mixture that will wreak havoc on your immune system, and cause all kinds of common symptoms you thought you just had to “live with” (gas, bloating, diets that never seem to work, indigestion, fatigue...sound familiar?).
