Who has not dreamed of enjoying infinite energy reserves to help face the daily challenges and to live life to its fullest?

The hoped-for miracle pill, the bionic drink, the superfood that will make us uber healthy remain, all too often, our best plan for an energy-filled future.

An extensive 2010-to-2016 study of more than 150,000 individuals, on the management and optimization of human energy, conducted jointly by the Department of Medicine of Harvard University in the USA and Berlin University in Germany, came to interesting conclusions. We would like them to share with you.

Conclusion # 1: Every individual comes into this world with his or her full energy potential. The characteristic that differentiates one person from another is inscribed in the DNA of each of our cells.

Conclusion # 2: There is no miracle recipe to help us produce more energy. For example, according to this study, having more or less energy from one day to another would have nothing to do with the consumption of a special product or beverage.

Conclusion # 3: There are energy “stealers” and “supporters”. Energy “stealers” are the activities that destroy or limit the potential for our energy to be expressed at 100 per cent. For example, energy “stealers” would be poor food choices, lack of hydration, stress and negative thoughts.  By contrast, energy “supporters” would be eating fresh vegetables, taking a walk in nature, having a good night’s sleep, laughing with friends and thinking positive thoughts. The authors of this research suggest that, to reach your full energy potential, you take time each day to identify potential energy ”stealers” that you habitually do and decide to replace them with more energy ”supporters”.

To your health….and energy!
