How Much Food Is In Our Food?

Where do we get our energy? Under natural conditions our food is converted into a bio-available form, and transported to our cells. The mitochondria of the cell then uses that bio-ready food as fuel, and creates ATP, the energy we use for every single function of the body.

How Much Food Is In Our Food?

How do we assure that our cells can create the ATP energy we need? Every cell must be provided the appropriate fuel. This is not always an easy task. With the processed food diet that is so popular these days we are consuming many preservatives and artificial ingredients that cannot be considered “food”. We’ve been spun into discussions of how much fat, salt, sugar and other controversial ingredients are in our food. Our first question should be “how much food is in my food”. Getting an answer to that question is not easy.

Take, for example, a well known potato snack: the Baltimore Sun reported that their potato content was only 42 percent, and so they could not be considered a “potato chip”. What makes up the other 58 percent? A quote from the article states: “A can of Pringles, like a fine Cabernet Sauvignon, could be put down in your cellar, then retrieved years later to be enjoyed. I doubt that many snackers “cellared” their Pringles, but it was possible.”

There is a big difference from the long-term storage of processed foods through preservatives and the long-term qualities retained in all-natural rice that is able to sustain the enzymes within its grains.

How much food is in our foods? When we talk about quality of life isn’t it reasonable to look at the parallel of what we provide our cells as bio-available food versus the quality of energy and vitality that returns to us.

DNA helicase

“Helicases separate nucleic acid duplexes into their component strands using energy from ATP hydrolysis. The crystal structure of this DNA helicase from bacteriophage T7, reveals an hexagonal arrangement of six identical subunits. Surprisingly, the ring is not sixfold symmetric, but is slightly squished. A model for the mechanism of how the enzyme might work explains this structural asymmetry. Of the six potential ATP binding sites, two opposing ones bind ATP tightly, two are more likely to bind ADP and phosphate, and two are empty. These three states may interconvert in a coordinate fashion as ATP is hydrolyzed, creating a ripple effect that continuously runs around the ring. Because of these conformational changes, the loops that extend into the center hole of the ring—that are proposed to bind DNA—oscillate up and down, as seen in this cross section. The oscillating loops might pull a DNA strand through the central hole, thus unwinding the double helix in the process. A frontal view shows the full dynamics of this fascinating protein machine.”

Chronic Fatigue – Finding Answers

Chronic fatigue is the name given to a group of symptoms that occur together. The medical term used is “syndrome”. The name is self explanatory, with the primary symptom being unexplainable reoccurring fatigue or tiredness. There are other symptoms associated with chronic fatigue as well, such a feeling of mental fog.

What Is The Cause of Chronic Fatigue?

No one seems to know the cause of chronic fatigue, and those who have been able to muster up the energy to find a solution have tried so many approaches. Acupuncture, massage therapy, medications, meditation, and many other treatment programs have helped, to some degree, but no one seems to walk away with a lasting solution.

Where does our energy come from?

It all begins on a cellular level. Every cell has mitochondria, the tiny energy-maker of the cell. The mitochondria creates ATP, which is the energy we use for every function. This all sounds good, that every cell has what it needs to make energy, supporting the many functions of the human body.

It Takes Energy to Make Energy

Providing bio-available food to our cells bridges the gap created with our highly processed diets and the health challenges created both in our diet and our environment. Cells need fuel to make energy, it’s as simple as that.

How Can I Get More Energy?

When we’re asked what we’d like more of I don’t think there is a single person who cannot think of something. How often do we forget about that one request that we don’t seem to resolve: “How can I get more energy?”

Energy is something we cannot do without, and many of us are running ourselves ragged with our busy lives. Our bodies are strong though, and will keep giving and giving until it hurts. There is a cost associated with “living on the edge”. How much does our overworked and undernourished systems affect our mood, our ability to think, and our health in the long run?

Our energy should come in a natural form, something that is fuel for the body instead of forced energy that comes from sugar and stimulants. There is no nutritional value in sugar, no long-term benefits. In fact since your body has to spend its already diminished energy in processing those unnatural energy boosters so you actually come out with less than you when you started.

Natural energy comes from food that contains bio-available fuel for your cells. Feed the cells and they will produce energy, as they are designed to do. Natural energy isn’t a “burst”, it is a sustained, relaxed, vibrant energy. When we have energy we naturally feel better, and that translates to all aspects of our lives.

Getting The Most From Your Diet and Supplements

It’s all about energy, getting energy to your cells so that your cells can function. Where does that energy come from?  We have to go back to the beginning, before the foods we eat and the supplements we take to support better health. Are we absorbing the beneficial vitamins and minerals contained in the foods we select?

The key – glyco peptides.  Getting this tiny amino acid and sugar molecule that is absorbed quickly and easily. Using the resources we already have to produce ATP, which is the energy that is created by each cell of our body – when we have what we need to convert fuel to ATP energy.

This sounds strange, to think that this tiny glyco peptide comes from rice.  There are hundreds of varieties of rice, and the strains used to create PXP are rich in the glyco peptides that promote producing the energy you need to heal yourself.  PXP is manufactured with a proprietary process to extract the precise energy-creating part of the rice, grown under stringent conditions to assure purity.

How much time and money do we spend already to improve our diet?  What is the cost (on every level) of that tall double coffee drink that gives you an unsteady burst of “energy” each day?  What matters most to you: making it through the day, or making your day the best it could possibly be?

Dr. Jack Tips, talking about PXP Royale:

 

Dangers of Energy Drinks

Energy Drinks have become common these days. Many have questioned the ingredients of some of those energy drinks. In a report on the safety of energy drinks the commonly reported adverse effects from the caffeine included insomnia, headaches, nervousness, and tachycardia. There has also been a connection between consumption of energy drinks and seizures.

The conclusion of the report states that there is little evidence that energy drinks have any beneficial effect, and as far as the “healthy additives”, those energy drinks do not contain enough of those ingredients to have any therapeutic effect.

What is of concern is the amount of sugar and caffeine in those energy drinks, especially in a society that has a serious problem with obesity, diabetes, and other physical and mental issues.

If we put down the energy drinks, even that coffee drink, is there any way to boost our energy in more natural way?

We could look at it like a race. Energy drinks are stimulants, giving you artificially produced bursts of “energy” much like a sprint. The problem with that it is not exactly kind to your system, and it does not sustain.

Natural energy is different. When we talk about natural energy we are talking about the kind of energy that does not “rev” you up. It is the real-deal, the energy that is created in the body by the body on a cellular level.

PXP is a source of natural energy. It is bio-ready food, which means it is natural energy that the body can use as fuel for its mitochondria production of ATP, which is the energy that your body creates so you can perform every physical function from thoughts to actions.

What ATP is and How it Works

www.Leslie-Samuel.com – BioVid Episode 3. This Video talks about what ATP is and how it results in energy for the processes happening in the cell

ATP Cycle

Why is ATP so important? How is a cell supposed to function, do its job, heal itself without the energy it needs? When we look at PXP we look at tiny particles of bioready nutrients that can enter the cell and be used by the mitochondria to produce ATP.

Hey class! Today our teachers are describing how ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is dephosphorylated into ADP (adenosine diphosphate), and how ADP phosphorylates to make ATP: The ATP Cyle. When you remove a phosphate group from ATP, it is called dephosphorylation. Dephosphorylation is an exergonic reaction, meaning it is a reaction that releases energy. When ATP goes through this process, ADP is made. Differently, during phosphorylation to make ADP into ATP, a phosphate group is added on. This is an endergonic reaction, meaning this process requires energy. By Aaron Coleman, Anna Jacoby and Abigail Gavens
