The energy Crisis of America
An Article By: Steven P. Lamp
There is an energy crisis in America. I don't mean oil or gas. I mean physical energy. People are out of it and want/need more. It is affecting our productivity, our family lives and definitly our leisure time. This is a major problem here in the US and help is on the way.
Can you imagine if there were two of you at work? Your boss would be certainly happy as presumidly your productivity would double. Then, guess what? you would probably get paid more. What if, you even felt like going to work? Or, better yet, looked forward to it. Not possible? Yes it is. What you put in your face and your level of excercize on a daily basis is directly in control of how you feel and your energy level.
How bout your family life. Can you imagine having energy at the end of the day to play with your kids or go out for a nice night on a work night, without dragging ass the next day? It can happen, watching what you eat and excdrcizing can increase all activity levels and help you make the most out of the wonderful gifts God has given you in your family. Now thats an incentive.
Leisure time is a time to relax and recharge right? Well, yea, for most. But for people who eat right and do some excercize on a regular basis it is a time to go out and have some physical fun. Ride bikes, climb a rock, play some softball or go water skiing. The last thing a person with a healthy intake and decent excercise regimene wants to do is sit on the couch and vegitate.
Have you heard the phrase "Garbage in - Garbage out"? The first time I heard it was in computer class back in high school. Mr. Colbern was his name and he hated me. He told me all I was feeding my computer in programing was garbage, all I was going to get out of my programming was garbage.. I never knew it then, but he was soooo right in sooo many facets of my life and those words bacame words to live by for many things.
Energy, it comes from many sources and can be used for many things. Its Kinetic and potential but has to be fueled by something. For a locamotive the fuel is coal or wood to stoke the steam. The hotter the temps the better the steam the more power the engine has. Bad coal or wood and the motor will still run however lacking the power to really achieve.
The human body is no different. We require good coal. But, its a bit more complex than that. We require our coal to come in many different forms, all of it food, all of it though the mouth. The human body takes many ingredients to keep running well and with lots of energy.
Then there is excercise. We may think that we get enough at work and unless you are a long distance runner or a physical fitness instructor your not. Excercise keeps the pump (your heart) going and your blood flowing. This aids in repair, revitalization and replenishment. Yes, excercise is like rest for your body, it keeps you fresh.
There is an energy crisis in America. We treat ourselves like crap!. We love to eat junk. We are trained to eat junk from an early age. Garbage in - Garbage out. thats what you get. No energy. Everyone seems to be dragging ass and it's all of our faults. We make poor decisions on what to eat every day 2 and 3 times a day.
We have no help. Go to the grocery store and look around. The easiest thing to find is the stuff that is bad for you. Eye level all through the store, Junk... Low energy junk. It takes time and money to eat healthy two things we are all looking to save, but at what cost?
I am not sure of the stats but I bet there are billions and billions of dollars wasted each year on unproductivity in the work place. People just not doing thier jobs for one reason or another all stemmed around no energy..
