EAT FOR ENERGY: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy
吃出滿滿能量：如何戰勝疲勞、強化線粒體功能，並釋放全天的能量
內容介紹
你是否常常會覺得昨晚已經早睡了，早上再來杯咖啡，但是卻總還是覺得身體好累，注意力也無法集中呢？
美國臨床心理學博士阿里‧惠頓(Ari Whitten)和美國營養學專家亞歷克斯‧里福(Alex Leaf)指出，我們常常會感到全身疲累、頭腦不清楚，做什麼事都提不起勁，其實都跟我們體內的細胞息息相關。兩位作者在這本書中深入探討慢性疲勞、倦怠和腦霧的原因，並將提供你如何恢復認知功能、警覺性和充足能量的實用建議。
慢性疲勞、倦怠、腦霧——不管我們怎麼稱呼它，我們不斷感到精疲力竭的這種感覺會影響我們的生活、工作，以及我們所珍視的一切。
導致疲勞的真正罪魁禍首，並不在於我們對咖啡因攝入多寡或腎上腺疲勞先入為主的觀念，也不在於以耗時和不切實際的方式，徹底改變我們的生活方式。相反地，核心原因在於我們的細胞──「粒線體缺陷」(Mitochondrial Deficiency)，而我們其實可以透過簡單、直接的營養策略來解決我們身體的生物學問題。
阿里博士專注於科學研究，來證明特定營養的益處。他特別專注於我們細胞中的線粒體研究(Mitochondria)，如何持續活化這些細胞，幫助我們提高能量水平，以及如何透過特定的食物攝取來支持線粒體細胞功能。阿里博士在20多歲時患有單核細胞增多症，並且深刻了解到慢性疲勞是多麼令人衰弱。阿里博士將帶你深入了解人體的細胞能量中心，提供明確的營養方法和介紹特定的食物、補充品，使你獲得以下改善：
· 獲得更好的睡眠
· 降低血壓
· 穩定血糖
· 減掉多餘的體重
· 提高記憶力和注意力
· 增加心理健康
這本書中，兩位作者將會帶你了解人體的細胞中心如何運作，並分享怎麼透過日常習慣的改變如飲食、睡眠等方法，讓你的身體擺脫防禦模式，戰勝惱人的慢性疲勞以及腦霧症狀，進入最佳表現狀態，讓你的精力、大腦功能、情緒和健康處於巔峰狀態，充裕的面對生活的任何挑戰。
