What is energy?
Our bodies create energy from the interaction of oxygen and glucose. Your supply of energy depends on the patterns of your breathing and the foods you eat.
Energy is dependant on
- Breathing
- Foods we eat
- What and when we eat
- How much sleep we get
- Our level of fitness
Health is all about energy management. The most important factors in increasing and sustaining energy are the two things we take for granted - eating and breathing.
We can’t create more time in our day, but we can create more energy.
At Real we help you manage energy, when you learn how to manage your energy you immediately feel better, look fitter, lose fat, and increase the quality of your whole life.
Let’s use one of our clients as an example.

1 Kilo fat is 8000 calories of stored energy.
While energy is stored in fat cells on our body it doesn’t contribute to the vital energy we feel or have on a daily basis. In fact if we carry too much fat we actually feel less energetic and our quality of life is decreased.
Food is our fuel
Food contains energy in the form of nutrients.
- Carbohydrates
- Proteins
- Fats
- Vitamins
- Minerals
Energy in food is measured in calories or kilojoules. How much energy we store as fat depends on how much energy we burn in a day and how many calories we eat.
However how many calories we burn in a day or how energetic we feel depends on the type of foods we eat, the times we eat them and the quantity . Nutrients are the key.
At Real we make it easy for you, and help put a complete plan in place.
