Tart Cherry - Go with the Pro Athletes Recovery Drink

With so many of us active for longer in life than any other generation previously, it becomes critical to guard from potential injuries. But as more injuries occur at an earlier age, this can be a challenge.

Being proactive for injury and inflammation are critical to professional athletes and their trainers. It affects their ability to play longer (i.e. ability to earn money). Having watched professional trainers for the Dallas Cowboys, Stars and Mavericks at many juice bars in town, Gatorade has lost out to tart cherry juice for increasing performance during workouts and games by athletes and their trainers.

New Study - Omega 3's Improve Athletic Performance

A new study from University of Toronto concluded after 21 days of Omega 3 (N-3) acids, exercise performance in male athletes was improved. 

While it's known that N-3 fatty acids are necessary for optimum health, no study had investigated whether it improved athletic performance previous to this study. The combination that was administered to male athletes were 5 ml seal oil, 375 mg EPA, 230 mg DPA, 510 mg DHA. .

This confirms what many of us knew was great for one thing but turns out to be great for another whether performance, longevity or all health.

Create your own 21 day study and see what you notice has improved..

Protein Boost - Sprouted nuts

Looking for more sources of protein? Raw, soaked nuts are a great snack anytime but especially before and after physical activity. Also great for a heavy "brain" activity like tests or creating new ideas.Nuts have "protein inhibitors" that do what the words suggest, keep your body from absorbing the protein. If you've ever eaten nuts or seeds and couldn't tell the difference in your energy, you discovered this phenomenon. But as I discovered, when they're soaked and dried, you'll get that "protein boost" that you can feel. They also taste better as well.

HPP Juicing - What's the Big Deal?

There's a great deal said about the nature of juicing.  It's effective... it's not. It's good for you.... it's not.  Opinions are biased, sliced and diluted to suit whoever is publishing and what master they serve.  Find out for yourself about HPP (or high pressure pascalization). Especially when your body is under attack, anything bigger than liquid could be seen as foreign invader and ejected out the other end.
