OK, all of you “Jocks”, this is what you’ve been looking for!
Good solid factual information on products that will really enhance your training, whether it’s at the gym or some other active sport.
Let’s start with something basic that every person who participates in an active aerobic or anaerobic activity needs. What are you asking? A good quality protein supplement.
What follows is a list of some really great products that I have found amazing.
By the way, now that I’ve mentioned myself, let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Bob and my wife Linda and I are very active. We exercise, we play tennis and we love to ski in the snow; That is why it is very important for us to have an excellent diet and excellent supplements to keep us fit and healthy.
So let’s get down to business. Here are some products we swear by and we think you will too. Here’s what to look for in supplements for your active life.
1) A high-grade scientific blend of enzymatically predigested whey protein that really tastes good. Why do you need supplemental protein? Simple. When you actively exercise your body, you are breaking down muscle protein, so you need additional protein to combat this catabolic breakdown of muscle and promote the opposite, which is anabolic muscle growth and development. Why predigested whey protein? Because it is the best and easiest thing to quickly absorb into your system for the best results.
2) Ciwujia: This funny sounding Chinese herb is our best friend and will be yours too, once you taste it. Recent studies published in “Nutrition Science News” scientifically demonstrated that Ciwujia actually causes your body to preferentially burn fat for energy over carbohydrates (sugars) with the result that your body produces much less lactic acid when you exercise, which makes you have much less muscle fatigue, cramps, pain, and stiffness. You will be amazed at its increased performance, endurance and endurance. When we first tried it, it was when we were skiing and we were amazed at the difference it made to our legs. We were able to ski from the top of the mountain to the bottom without stopping once.
3) Creatine Monohydrate – This is particularly good for those who want to build their skeletal muscles, but is healthy even for those who just want to keep their muscles healthy and toned. Along with this, it’s good to supplement with high-quality amino acids (which are the building blocks of protein … for those of you who didn’t know) like L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine.
4) Omega 3: Almost everyone knows how good Omega 3 is for you, but it is especially good for the athlete. Why? Because it promotes joint health, it is a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps reduce pain after exercise, is healthy for the heart, reduces the incidence of fatal heart attacks and cardiac arrhythmias, and helps lower blood pressure and promotes the health of blood vessels by favoring good cholesterol (HDL) over bad cholesterol (LDL).
5) CoQ10 – This important body enzyme is essential to provide your body with the main source of energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). A recent study in Australia showed that elite athletes who took a CoQ10 supplement performed at a higher level, had less fatigue and less discomfort after exercise. The study was conducted using the newly formulated new Ubiquinol CoQ10 in place of the older, less effective Ubiquinone. On a personal level, we love these last two products and we drink them every day, together. The reason for this is that CoQ10 is lipid soluble and is more effectively absorbed when fat is present. Omega 3 is a fatty acid, so taking them at the same time increases the effectiveness of both.
6) Amino Acids: Also, having a good source and supply of specific high-grade amino acids is a good thing for anyone who is physically active and wants to protect and enhance their body.
7) Antioxidants: Lastly, don’t forget a good source of antioxidants like vitamin E, bee pollen, and our friend CoQ10 which has excellent antioxidant properties.
So now that you know what supplements you should take to keep your body healthy while exercising … what are you waiting for? Get in the car and go to your favorite health food store and stock up!
