Do you want quick energy without the crash 3o minutes later? Then I suggest you listen up. I'm not talking about some sugar infused drink or some bran muffin or bagel. I'm talking about short and medium chain fatty acids (mainly saturated fats). Yes, saturated fats, don't get your under armour compression shorts in a bunch! I'll explain in a different post why saturated fats are good for you and not the cause of heart disease. For now we're talking energy for performance.
Unlike longer chain fatty acids, short and medium chain fatty acids DON'T needed to be acted on by bile salts to be broken down. This means that they are directly absorbed for quick energy much like glucose but without the blood sugar fluctuations.
What are our best sources for these short and medium chain fatty acids?
-Organic butter from cows and goats
-Coconut Oil
Unlike sugars which are an immune system suppressant, these fats are an immune system enhancer. They have many antimicrobial properties that protect us from viruses, yeasts and pathogenic bacteria in the gut.
Use these two sources to cook with or simply have a serving with a snack or meal at any time you're seeking some energy.
