Sports Nutrition And The Importance Of Routines

February 28, 2010 Posted by admin

Sports nutrition can be devised as a routine. Meals during that are day designed with specific purposes. The type of food whether a complex carbohydrate, simple carbohydrate, protein or fat can all be properly structured into a sports nutrition routine. A basic plan will include breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, pre workout, and post workout recovery. The more advanced use of sports nutrition plans will exactly match an athlete’s weight, caloric intake and caloric expenditure. Details of a routine can be so specifically tailored that even the time of year is taken into account.

The major benefit of sports nutrition is giving the body the fuel that it needs to perform at its highest level. The time factor to see such results can be instantaneous in some cases. But in most cases time is needed to allow the body to adapt and repair itself. Once the benefits of the nutrition are noticed, many athletes will discontinue eating properly. Thus the athlete will return to previous levels. And then wonder what has happened to cause a decrease in performance.

A basic year round sports nutrition routine that I recommend to every athlete would consist of 4 basic parts. Each day take a multi vitamin. Drink 64oz of water in addition to sports drinks. Consume whey protein combined with liquid carbohydrates after workouts. Eat fruit and vegetables with every meal.

The biggest problem most athletes encounter is consuming enough essential vitamins and minerals. Training day after day week after week month after month makes it very difficult to do so. Eating a perfect diet will still leave the body in some form of deficiency. Taking a multi vitamin that is geared toward the extra needs of a hard training athlete is essential. Look for labels that use performance in the description.

Enough has been written about the benefits of drinking water. Still many under estimate another great value of water. Drinking at least 64oz of water will help the body rid toxins and waste products produced when exercising and digesting food. Have you ever noticed after a hard workout, that with proper rehydration that your urine will still be dark in color? The body is removing waste products when urinating. By keeping the body properly hydrated you will not only perform better. The additional water will also help you recover faster.

After finishing a workout that last 60 minutes, I recommend a combination of whey protein and liquid carbohydrates. Combine 20g of whey protein with 50g of liquid carbohydrate. A 20oz or 32oz sports drink combined with whey protein powder works great. Drink immediately after your workout. You can also use this recovery method after competitions that are shorter in duration.

Eating fruits and vegetables with every meal is one of the most effective ways to boost nutrition and performance. The body is designed to work its best on this type of food. No other processed food can compare with the nutritional value of unprocessed fruits and vegetables.

By following this sports nutrition routine throughout the year you will notice significant changes. Your body will look and perform better. You will feel better and age more gracefully.

Find a Natural Colon Cleanse That Works

February 28, 2010 Posted by admin

Colon health difficulties are much more widespread in the developed world than you might think. One reason is that we tend to shy away from topics like constipation and health in our everyday conversations. But even if are not willing to talk about it, the healthy functioning of your colon is crucial to your overall health and well-being. If you’re suffering from chronic pain, constipation and lack of energy, these could be symptoms that indicate you need a natural colon cleanse.

You may be wondering why your doctor has never discussed the need for a colon cleanse. The reality is that most doctors receive very little training in nutrition and natural health procedures. This often means that maintaining your overall well-being and good natural health is up to you.

Finding and using a natural colon cleanse that works should be one of your highest priorities. Our intestinal tract and waste elimination systems were designed to work quite well with a natural diet and regular physical activity. But today we are much less active and much more likely to be eating processed and engineered food. Not only are chemicals added to your food, but beneficial nutrients are often removed in the process. These unnatural foods create toxins in your body. Not only is your colon health affected, but it places an extra load on other toxin-removing organs in your body as well.

A natural colon cleanse accomplishes more than simply cleansing unwanted matter and built-up waste from our colon. It also helps to disinfect your colon, kills unwanted bacteria and regulates and balances your intestinal flora. Intestinal flora are natural microorganisms that live in your digestive tract. Although it’s possible to live without them, they play an important role in improving our overall health and protecting us from harmful microorganisms.

Those who’ve experienced a colon cleanse report relief from an incredible array of health conditions, including constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches and allergies. As you might have guessed, a natural colon cleanse is an excellent way to lose weight and many dieters report that weight loss is much easier once their digestive system is operating at peak efficiency. Optimal functioning of our colon also means that we will be assimilating vitamins and minerals from our food much more easily.

Since a colon cleanse reduces waste and toxins in our bodies, you should also expect greater overall vitality, higher alertness and possibly even some relief from depression.

There are several basic ways to accomplish a natural colon cleanse. Most of these solutions can be found at your local health food store or on the Internet. If you choose to purchase from the Internet, do your research well and don’t fall for a product with outlandish claims and an unbeatable price.

An oxygen-based colon cleanse is preferred by many alternative health practitioners because it’s able to effectively remove unwanted bacteria while leaving the good bacteria in place to continue working. An oxygen-based natural colon cleanse cleans and refreshes your entire intestinal tract, not just the lower intestine.

Another way to accomplish a natural colon cleanse is through the use of colonics or colon hydrotherapy. Colon hydrotherapy is often used in connection with an oxygen-based colon cleanse. Also known as colonic irrigation, colon hydrotherapy is quite similar in many ways to an enema, but uses purified water that often infused with beneficial minerals or other natural substances.

You also have the option of performing a natural colon cleanse by using herbal-based products. Herbal-based products normally contain natural fiber, which is designed to loosen and remove built-up materials from your colon, and parasite-fighting herbs, which naturally kill any intestinal worms or other parasites you may be harboring in your colon.

Some purists maintain that the only truly natural colon cleanse involves changing your diet to eliminate processed foods. A diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables, juices and high fiber foods is optimal for good colon health. And you will certainly want to begin adjusting your diet to avoid colon health problems in the future. But it’s a good idea to start the colon cleanse process with high quality herbal products that can help you get off to a good start.

http://www.rosecole.com – How to Soak Almonds for Maximum Energy and Nutrition and How Long to Soak Almonds For

Soaking RAW almonds is widely practiced by natural health enthusiasts. The key benefit is this; it removes enzyme inhibitors, making the nuts more digestible. In nature the enzyme inhibitors help to keep the nut intact, until it’s ready to sprout into a tree. Once the nut is soaked the enzyme inhibitors are reduced, allowing the nut to sprout.

What causes an inability to eat or drink?

February 28, 2010 Posted by admin

I am painfully full after eating just 1/2 bowl of soup. I am only able to eat once a day, and it feels like my stomach is tearing. Yet, I feel hungry. Also, I am only able to drink one glass of any type of liquid a day. I do not drink soda and, I rarely drink coffee or tea. I have been like this for a week and I’m starting to pass out, probably from lack of proper nutrition. Any ideas?

How do I make my guinea pig gain weight?

February 26, 2010 Posted by admin

My guniea pig is underweight b/c of malocclusions. He has seen the vet many times and he is now on a soft food/ liquid diet. I am trying olive oil, hemp protein powder, fruits, mashed up pellets, etc.. I am studying nutrition so I am pretty familiar w/ food and health, but I want to make sure I’m doing all I can do. Also, is it okay to give him the extra virgin olive oil?

Has the vet had any further suggestions for you, or has he recommended feeding him the Oxbow Critical Care? Is he eating what you are feeding him? There’s a recipe online somewhere for a mush instead of the Critical Care, but it’s pretty much what you’re doing, soaked and mushed up pellets. Unfortunately, I don’t remember where I found the link… probably on a guinea pig list on Yahell.

Dr Whiting on Full Spectrum Nutrition and Mulit-Vitamins

February 25, 2010 Posted by admin

Full Spectrum nutrition is the concept of providing the body with all the essential nutrients it needs in the right potency, ratio and absorption factors to ensure maximum benefit. By using a liquid delivery system, we can increase absorption of nutrients many times since liquids supplements, with the proper pH, have two opportunities for absorption, the stomach and small intestine. Also liquid supplements afford us the opportunity to adjust ratios of one nutrient to another, matching the natural presence of these nutrients in the human body. We have developed a liquid dietary supplement, which is now being offered by Phoenix Nutritionals, Inc., and it provides mega doses of over 130 nutrients including fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients and antioxidants. This is the identical formula we use on our clients and patients at our Centers around the world. Full Spectrum Nutrition, providing all the essential nutrients known to be involved in human health and longevity such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients and antioxidants, and for the first time in a liquid dietary supplement, even the essential fatty acids, can rebalance the body chemistry, increasing energy and the sense of well-being. Now Full Spectrum is finally available in one convenient bottle! This formula contains a wider range of vital antioxidant nutrients such as lycopene, bilberry, milk thistle, lutein for the eyes, and alpha lipoic acid, one of the most powerful anti-aging antioxidants presently known to science. When you consider everything contained The Full Spectrum concept, the vitamins, 75+ minerals, essential fatty acids, phytonutrients from plants, heavy hitting antioxidants such as lycopene, lutein, alpha lipoic acid, bilberry, and milk thistle, as well as the full range of amino acids, you just can’t find a more complete formula. By combining all these nutrients into one bottle, the cost to the end user is but a fraction of purchasing this range of nutrients in individual products. You can obtain the exact same formula that we use with all of our clients and patients at our Centers around the world by contacting Phoenix Nutritionals at 1-800-440-2390 or from their website at www.phoenixnutritionals.com. There are several forms that vitamin and mineral supplements to choose from. The most common and often least expensive are in tablet form. Tablets offer higher potencies in smaller spaces due to the tight compression of the material. Tablets have the convenience of being able to take fewer pills but the breakdown and absorption of many tablet formulas is very poor. You may have heard of the stories about the thousands of vitamin pills found in sewers and septic tanks that have passed through the body undigested. Sadly, these stories are true. Those at the greatest risk for absorption problems are those over the age of 50. As we age our ability to digest and break down hard tablets decreases. This is why it is important to consider the delivery system for those of that age group. The better supplements are found in capsule form. Capsules can be either from animal or vegetarian sources. Encapsulated multi-vitamin/mineral products tend to break down in the stomach very rapidly, usually less than 3 minutes. This allows the natural stomach acids to begin to prepare the nutrients for absorption. This is further enhanced if you take your multi-vitamin/mineral supplement with a meal. The food in the stomach will also increase the rate at which your system will absorb the nutrients. The last delivery system for a good Full Spectrum Supplement would be in a liquid suspension. Liquid supplements are far superior to either tablets or even capsules since we can easily adjust the pH of the fluid in which the nutrients are suspended. Keep in mind that most nutrients absorb at the cellular level in an acidic pH. By acidifying the liquid base, we add another layer of increased absorption potential. Another area of discussion when it comes to multi-vitamin supplements is that of additives or fillers. Fillers are most often used as binder in hard tablets, but can also be used in some capsule formulas as well. Some fillers are harmless and actually enhance absorption by preventing moisture and caking of the nutrients. Other fillers in supplements are there simply to fill out the tablets or capsules by increasing the volume of the material contained within. To conclude our discussion of Multi-vitamin and mineral formulas, there are several essential points that a consumer should consider. The first factor is of course, potency. A formula must provide adequate amounts of each of the known essential nutrients in order to meet the bodys daily requirement. The minimum dosage is rarely enough as we all absorb nutrients at different levels of efficiency. Next we must consider absorption. It has been said that you are what you eat, but we know that really you are what your body is able to absorb and assimilate.

What’s the deal with lemon juice, maple syrup & cayenne?

February 25, 2010 Posted by admin

I’m thinking of doing that cleanse diet thing, where you drink water mixed with lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Just wondering what the deal is with that combination of ingredients. Isn’t the point really a liquid diet with just a bit of nutrition? Or is there something chemical there that makes it work best?
I’m not trying to lose weight, thanks. I’m just interested in a bit of a detox before I make a more complete switch to organic.

my mom did that diet, and she literally dropped the weight.
