Antioxidants, free radicals and sports nutrition

As you know, I am a doctor. This is part of my job to keep up with what is happening in medical research / health. Can simply retire because doctors do not have a generally "extra time" to devote to scientific literature.
But I do. I love it. I'm one of those people who really love ... Hang in there ... Chemistry. When you're done here, you should be very happy, especially if you are interested in sports nutrition and antioxidants, but not necessarily in that order.

Sports Nutrition is a broad industry with a focus on maximizing performance. On one hand, I can not think of categories that involve quite a few sports nutrition:

"Sports Nutrition and nutritional supplements for athletes
"Sports nutrition and athletic performance
"Sports Nutrition and Weight,
"Sports Nutrition and endurance training,
"Sports nutrition and special diets in a variety of sports,
"Sport and nutrition, strength training,
"Sport for nutrition, running, jogging, walking, skiing, swimming
"There even sports nutrition Rockies
"... The list is endless.



So far, it is not surprising, huh? Well, here's one for you. Did you know that when intense exercise you increase the load of free radicals in the body? If you are a serious sports fans, you should know.

But ... The real news is that science is now out of the burden of these free radicals than yours. You need to pay attention here.

Suddenly, it becomes real personal chemistry.

Each and every one of us, what we might call our protective antioxidant. This usually means that our bodies use antioxidants to protect against the harmful effects of free radicals.

First, they are antioxidants? They are molecular substances that offset the free radical damage in the body. Antioxidants, "quench" free radicals (for lack of a better metaphor) neutralizing their harmful effects on the body's cells.

"Found antioxidants in foods such as cranberry, green tea, and even chocolate.

"Antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and E.

"Found antioxidants such as carotenoids beta-carotene.

"Found antioxidants in a variety of materials from the body such as glutathione.

"Found antioxidants in many herbs and enzymes.

And enhanced the effect of antioxidants by glyconutrients to offset free radicals in the body ... And, as a result of your sporting endeavors.

You must provide antioxidant capacity in your diet or sports nutrition you could be "stealing Peter to pay Paul" with your workouts. As you will see, without presence glyconutrional in your sports nutrition, and health gains made by your training will be offset by the physics of the burden of your own free radicals.

Free radicals, sports and sports nutrition

Free radicals are chemical species that contain one or more of the individual electrons, and capable of independent existence. They form in the body for various reasons and cellular activity branches or products provided to the body from the outside.

By analogy, consider the ignition and produce cellular
Vehicle emissions and the generation of free radicals. Engine produces products that can not stay inside the car without further damage. Simply must be neutralized and expelled.

Free radicals form and cause damage as a result of interaction with a variety of materials in the body. Estimated to be more than 200,000 attacks free radicals occur in our bodies every day.

When free radical damage, the body can get rid of the compounds formed by its cellular system reform. However, if the body can not deal with free radicals with antioxidants (for example), or remove the vehicles, then it can be the result of disease.

Contrary to popular belief, free radicals do not circulate in the body. Half-life of most free radicals varies in the range of a few nanoseconds for about 7 seconds. This means that they will react in the "neighborhood" (a few Angstroms or near micron increase in free radicals and signed) ... Organ tissue, connective tissue, or blood circulation and nervous bone or lymphatic material are all candidates for the attack of free radicals.

Wherever they are, they can damage surrounding areas, unless prohibited by the body ... Thus, the body does not have the luxury of filtering liquids only circulatory away to find free radicals. Must be the body's defense systems are ... Uh ... Widespread enough to neutralize the effects of free radicals. Must antioxidant protective system to be healthy.

Because they are highly reactive substances, they interact with all types of cell elements easily. But when you interact with the cells of the body, they can harm or even kill cells. Often, it can damage caused by free radicals change the structure of the cell enough to cause diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis and heart disease and a host of others.

Type of disease that occurs based on any defenses of free radicals in the body is not working properly, and where extremist attacks later.

The body has very sophisticated antioxidant defense systems. But can be overwhelmed in protecting the body antioxidant against free radicals ...

In fact, unless you use the nutrition antioxidant enhanced sports (with glyconutrients) to compensate for the increased load of free radicals, the body suffers as a result of stress intensive sports, training and competition.

VITAL to sports nutrition glyconutrients ...

Comparative studies of marathon runners who did not taken glyconutritional sports supplements.Results "showed a different definition of remarkable". Antioxidant protection seems to be promoting strongly against free radicals with supplements glyconutritional. Thus, the body was protected for several days after the marathon.

However, when he did not glyconutritional sports nutrition used, and the harmful effects of free radicals, and the burden seems to remain in the body for a period of five days. It should be noted Thus, the theme of "the elimination of higher concentrations of methodology byproducts resulting from free radicals ..." Compared with glyconutritional topic. The study took about other antioxidants, but not glyconutrition. Despite this fact, get the results mentioned above.

This is another way of saying that when he did not complete the glyconutritional used, did not load of free radicals in the body lifted. Antioxidant protection does not seem to be (a lot) enhanced sports nutrition glyconutritional. Antioxidant that appears to be beneficial for athletes in general, including the issues of training, stress, competition and dietary supplements.

Revolution Glyconutrional in sports nutrition and therapy is just the beginning. Further studies are under way. More results come with regard to the free radicals and the ability of antioxidants to promote glyconutrients affect against free radicals.
