Dr. Oz: Boost Your Energy in 7 Days !

Step 1: Eat Alkaline Foods to Boost Your Energy Through Your Kidneys
Alkaline foods, such as fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and grains flow through your system more quickly and easily than nonalkaline foods, which include processed foods, meat and dairy. The nonalkaline foods you eat promote acid in your body that the kidneys have to work hard to get rid of.
Step 2: Use Sprouts to Boost Vitamins and Minerals in Your Body
Step 3: Load Up on Energy Fats to Boost Brain Power
Fats make up the majority of our cell membranes–including our brain. You need to feed the brain cells the right fats to help keep you sharp and mentally energized, and to protect the brain from toxins.
Step 4: Eat at Least Half Your Plate Raw to Energize the Gut
This doesn’t mean you should eat raw meat, but vegetables, fruits and seeds are best eaten raw, because when cooked, they lose a lot of their enzymes that we need for healthy digestion, a process that uses a lot of energy.
Step 5: Drink Lukewarm Lemon Water at Every Meal to Wake Up Your Organs
Drink a glass of lukewarm water with lemon first thing in the morning and then again at every meal. This combination wakes up your liver and gallbladder to flush toxins out of them, and gets your whole intestinal track moving.
Step 6: Do an Energy Move to Boost Circulation
Try Elkaim's favorite move, the jump and pump to increase blood flow and circulation by pumping energy through your body. To do this move, start in a sitting position, then jump and throw your fist in the air.

Muscle Recovery. You must know

Letting muscles rest is the most important part of exercising. Overall, for most exercises, resting 48 hours should be sufficient, but always consult your instructor and pay attention to your body signals.


Excessive recovery, however, may impact directly on your performance. According to American Fitness Professionals and Associates, after 96 hours changes associated with muscle atrophy begin. Although a split session targets each area twice per week, more time and higher intensities can be used.



Other factor on muscle recovery related to nutrition: fluid and electrolyte status (hydration), muscle glycogen, reducing muscle stress and rebuilding muscle protein. 

Taking in fluids and carbohydrates both during and immediately after a workout, says Fitzgerald, is vital to a speedy recovery. You should eat a high-protein meal as soon after exercising as possible in order to ensure a rapid rebuilding of muscle tissue.



Take also in mind these facts: 

  • Larger Muscles Require More Recovery Time
  • Larger Numbers of Muscles Requires More Recovery Time
  • More Training Requires More Recovery Time
