How to get stronger and more energy

Do you want to get stronger and increase your energy? If so, there are many well-known things you can do: exercise, sleep enough, and so on.

However, one key factor is often overlooked: what you eat. It may actually be the most important factor of all.

All your strength and muscles are built from what you eat (primarily protein). All the energy that fuels every cell in your body also comes from what you eat.

Therefore, all our strength and energy ultimately come from what we eat.

The problem

The current ultra-processed food environment causes people to eat far more than they need, which explains our obesity epidemic. Most people in the Western world are now overweight or obese.

Obesity affects energy in a surprising way via our cells’ energy plants, the mitochondria. These tiny cellular parts are where food is transformed into the form of energy – ATP – that our cells can use.

Having an excess of calories available correlates with having fewer and less functional mitochondria, which means less energy production.

Therefore, it seems that increasing obesity does not just make it heavier for us to move around. It may also reduce our energy.

At the same time, our ultra-processed food environment is generally low in protein, the main nutrient that builds our muscles and strength. This can make us less muscular and weaker.

The result is that most people today are weaker than they could be and lack the energy they should have. We all risk getting weak, obese, and powerless.

It’s time for change.

The solution

The solution is simple: reverse this process

Avoiding excess calories allows our cells to produce more, newer, and better mitochondria. It increases our potential to produce cellular energy.

Eating more protein allows our muscles to grow larger and stronger.

Overall, we get stronger and leaner, and our energy increases.

We know the cause of our ongoing problems, it's our new food environment. And we know the solution: eating better.

Unfortunately, eating better is still harder than it should be. Ingredient lists are long and confusing, and nutrition panels are complex and overwhelming.

Perhaps this is by design: Keep people confused, keep them consuming and eating addictive ultra-processed foods. This is super-profitable for the food industry, and the results are great for the pharmaceutical industry. They get more and more lifetime customers.

Again, it’s time for change.

That’s where Hava comes in. We're making it simple to eat better.

A simple solution

With Hava, we’re introducing two revolutionary advances. First, we take away the complexity of long ingredient lists and complex nutrition panels. We’ve created an ultra-simple scoring system. It’s just one number.

This number guides you to nutritious foods that make you want to eat the right amount. We take the complexity away, and for the first time, we make it simple to eat better.

Secondly, combining this simple system with brand-new generative AI allows us to revolutionize what a nutrition app does.

Hava is the first product making it simple to eat better. You can log a meal in seconds – you just take a picture. Then you get instant expert feedback and guidance.

In short: we guide you to the foods that make you eat less calories, while still getting more protein! The best foods for you, that will help you achieve your body composition goals, to become stronger and leaner, to become faster and get more energy.

You can eat as much or as little as you want, with foods that are familiar to you. The point is you’ll feel full sooner, and you'll voluntarily end up eating less overall - but more protein.

We make it simple for anyone to eat better.

This can potentially result in becoming stronger and more energetic for life without the need for medications. It can lead to dramatic health and wellness improvements.

You can improve your chances of living a longer and healthier life.

Hava is revolutionary.

Getting started

Here’s how to get started. Just download the Hava app. Start taking pictures of what you eat (or type it in, if you prefer). Aim for a daily average of SPC 50 or above. We’ll offer you continuous guidance on how to get there.

That’s it. You can use it no matter what food preferences you have, it can work for anyone.

Hava great day.
