Natural energy foods : Maca

“I’m tired”, “I’m wiped out”, so on and so on. How many times do you hear these phrases every single day. Most people in the US are constantly fatigued, cranky, and groggy. Now many of my A-alikes who are vegan/raw foodists will not usually have these sentiments because we are so engaged and focused on being in great health.
But WE KNOW MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT. Most people are guzzling coffee or taking terribly detrimental quick fixes from convenience stores like drug addicts. So if you would like to avoid all the detriments those quick energy fixes have on you, and in return receive GREAT benefits of all sorts than let me tell you about the maca plant.
Maca is a root plant that grows in the Andes mountains of Peru. Peruvians have been using this root for centuries for various reasons.An aquantaince of mine who is from Peru attested to this. I told him I was using maca and his response was, “ohh yeah maca it’s very good mayne , for everything.” Maca is a potent adaptogen which means it boosts and balances everything in the body, your endocrine system, liver etc etc. Improves vigor and significantly boosts energy and calms nerves. The first time I took a tablespoon and put it into a green smoothie I was able to do cardio work for hours afterwords. It was like I was the energizer rabbit. Another huge benefit especially for women is the hormone balance because many people are suffering in that area and maca will do the trick with ease.
So where can you find this wonderful root? Well just about every healthfood store and most of the higher quality supermarkets. If all else fails you can find it online. What I do is take a tablespoon( it comes in powder form) and add it to a fruit smoothie, however it can be used however you like I just find that in a smoothie it’s assimilated better. It can be pricey, depending on where you go it can be 10-15 dollars for an 8 oz bag for example. There is no reason to skimp on your personal health though. People who suffer from the deficiency mentality and always have to “save” are usually very sick themselves. So don’t cheat yourself . If you want sustainable energy with no jitters or aftereffects do yourself a favor and try some maca.- Sutekh
