“Slight Edge Performance Program” Injury Prevention and Athletic Performance

Today, more than 95% of all chronic disease is caused by food choice, toxic food ingredients, nutritional deficiencies and lack of physical exercise.” ~Mike Adams

Personal achievements are realized when athletes combine disciplined training, proper nutrition and daily supplements. Energy, Strength, Hydration, Recovery and Daily nutrition needs are important for athletes to get the most out of their training and to help them reach their personal goals.
In 2005 Jamaican Olympic Sprinter Asafa Powell Became the World’s Fastest man! Check out his Story HERE

Let’s look at a an example. Two high school Football All-Americans are training and preparing for their opportunity to compete and excel at the college level. Both wake up early in the morning before school and get a 45 min workout in. Then after school they do weight training with their team. Also 2 days a week they both have a personal strength and conditioning coach that teaches them speed, agility, power, flexibility and strength. Here’s where the big difference is…. PLAYER 1 takes a NSF Certified for Sport, Plant-Based multi vitamin and PLAYER 2 does not. The reason why PLAYER 1 takes a daily multivitamin is because he learned from his coach that there is a higher energy requirement for Athletes and that we often don’t consume enough of the protective phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals that help to Strengthen our physical performance, prevent sickness,injury and Quicken and Strengthen our Recovery Process.

Is your diet giving you all the vitamins and minerals you need for optimal health?

Player 1 has an Advantage and a “Slight Edge” over Player 2. Not only is Player 1 putting the Physical Effort in and eating a good diet he is also covering all nutritional gaps and giving his body the fuel it needs to perform at maximum level.

How healthy is your diet?

When the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released in 2005, the federal recommendations for fruits and vegetables increased from 5-9 servings to 5-13 servings per day for adults. Unfortunately, despite known health benefits of higher intakes of fruits and vegetables, very few Americans are consuming these recommended intake levels. Given that fruit and vegetable intakes are suboptimal for most people, it is reasonable to conclude that intake of the phytonutrients typically provided in these foods is less than optimal, too. Essentially, there is a “phytonutrient gap” among the majority of Americans.

Are you eating the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day?

“Slight Edge Performance Program”: Injury Prevention and Athletic Performance

The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.” ~Deepak Chopra

Optimal performance requires optimal nutrition. Whether on the field or in daily life, optimal performance requires optimal nutrition.

How Nutrients Work

Nutrients from food are absorbed by the body as it passes through the digestive system:

Nutrients are essential for cell growth, maintenance and repair.
Nutrients provide energy to enable your body to function efficiently.
Nutrients, along with fiber and water, are essential to your good health.
Although nutrients can work alone, each depends upon the others to be the most effective. The main nutrients are the macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats – and the micronutrients, vitamins and minerals.

What Macronutrients Do?
Macronutrients Are Essential for Good Health:

They assist in breaking down carbohydrates and fats, which provide energy to the body.
They assist in the absorption of protein, which provides the building blocks necessary for cell growth and repair.

What Micronutrients Do?

Vitamins and minerals do not in themselves provide energy, but macronutrients depend on them to regulate the release of energy from food.

Vitamins are organic substances.
They activate enzymes, which are proteins that act as catalysts to speed up biological reactions that take place in your body.
Your body produces a certain amount of vitamins D and K, but all other vitamins come from your diet or supplementation.

Minerals are inorganic substances that originate from rocks and ores and enter the food chain through the soil.

We get minerals either by eating plants grown on mineral-rich soil or by eating animals that have fed on these plants.
Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are the major constituents of bone.
Sodium and potassium control your body’s water balance.
Other minerals (chromium, iron, and magnesium) are needed for various chemical processes to take place in the body.

Omega Fatty Acids help to Support memory, learning and concentration; also helps your nerves send messages more efficiently. NUTRILITE OCEAN ESSENTIALS Balanced Health can Help you! Learn More HERE

Phytonutrients, also referred to as phytochemicals, are compounds that act as a natural defense system in plants, and that also have a beneficial effect on human health. Get 10+ servings of fruit and vegetables in just two tablets with NUTRILITE® Concentrated Fruits and Vegetable. BUY it HERE

Why do I need a supplement?
The American Medical Association recommends that all adults take one multivitamin daily. This is true even if you already eat a diet rich in fresh, whole, natural foods, because the foods you consume often don’t supply all the vitamins and minerals you need, at the recommended levels. If you’re going to supplement, why not start with the world’s best multi? NUTRILITE® DOUBLE X® Vitamin/Mineral/Phytonutrient. BUY NUTRILITE® DOUBLE X® HERE

“Slight Edge Performance Program” Injury Prevention and Athletic Performance

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” ~John F. Kennedy

Today You’ll Learn and Understand why the Nutrients from Plants can help you Prevent Injury and Sickness and Help Increase Your Athletic and Physical Performance.

How Can I Increase my Physical Energy and what Nutrients help with Energy Production? ENERGY

Thiamin also known as Vitamin (B1) is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex. Water-soluble means it can dissolve in water. We need vitamin B1 so that our body can use carbohydrates as energy – it is essential for glucose metabolism. Vitamin B1 also plays a key role in nerve, muscle and heart function. Thiamine is a co-enzyme – it helps some enzymes work properly. Vitamin B1 is found in high concentrations in the outer layers and germ of cereals, as well as in yeast, beef, pork, nuts, wholegrains, and pulses. ENERGY

What other Nutrients can help me with Energy?

Riboflavin also known as Vitamin (B2) is for Energy Production and and Healthy Nerve Function. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body’s energy supply. Vitamin B2 is crucial for breaking down food components, absorbing other nutrients, and maintaining tissue. Riboflavin helps convert carbohydrates into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The human body produces ATP from food, ATP produces energy as the body requires it. The compound ATP is vital for storing energy in muscles. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is also important for Healthy eyes, nerves, muscles and skin and Preventing the development of cataracts.

Food Sources for Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) include:Asparagus, Artichokes, Spinach, Sweet potatoes, Kale, Peas, Nuts, Energy Drinks (XS Energy), Whole-grain breads, Broccoli and more.ENERGY

Vitamins and minerals do not in themselves provide energy, but macronutrients depend on them to regulate the release of energy from food.

How Can I Get More of these Important Vitamins, Minerals and Phytonutrients in my diet?

“Slight Edge Performance Program” injury Prevention and Sports Performance Tip

Time And health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.” ~Denis Waitley

Today We Learn about the BENEFITS of the Vitamin E, the Mineral Magnesium and the Phytonutrient Chlorophyll.

Athletes need to get adequate amounts of vitamin E. Nutritional elements like vitamin E are often most found in fresh fruits and vegetables. Foods Rich in Vitamin E include: Mustard Greens, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Kale, Collard Greens, Nuts Tropical Fruits, Red Peppers, Broccoli, Oils and Wheats. The body’s own metabolism creates free radicals during excessive aerobic exercise. Vitamin E reserves make sure these free radicals don’t get out of hand and cause trouble.The majority of vitamin E’s benefits stem from its antioxidant qualities. That means it combines with oxygen and destroys free radicals. It protects polyunsaturated fats and other oxygen-sensitive compounds such as vitamin A from being destroyed by damaging oxidation reactions. Vitamin E’s antioxidant properties are also important to cell membranes. For example, vitamin E protects lung cells that are in constant contact with oxygen and white blood cells that help fight disease. As an antioxidant with a powerful punch, vitamin E helps prevent cancer, heart disease, strokes, cataracts, and possibly some of the signs of aging.
Vitamin E protects artery walls and keeps the “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from being oxidized. Oxidation of LDL cholesterol marks the beginning of clogged arteries. Vitamin E also keeps the blood thin by preventing blood platelets from clumping together. High levels of vitamin E in the body decrease the risk of a non-fatal heart attack or stroke in most people. A dynamic cancer fighter, vitamin E protects cells and DNA from damage that can turn cancerous. It reduces the growth of tumors while enhancing immune function and preventing precancerous substances from being turned into carcinogens. Vitamin E can be beneficial to people with diabetes. It enhances the action of insulin and improves blood glucose metabolism by reducing oxidative stress. The health benefits of vitamin E come from its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants remove free radicals — the unstable compounds that damage the cell structure. Immunity levels improve when vitamin E is consumed. Another important benefit of vitamin E is that it reduces cholesterol and the risk of developing cancer.

Leading health authorities tell us we need to eat from 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. But who really does eat this much? Click HERE to Learn about NUTRILITE Concentrated Fruits & Vegetables can help. It captures crucial phytonutrients from natural fruits, vegetables, and plants – enough to equal the amount found in 10+ servings – in just 2 easy-to-swallow tablets.

Magnesium is a mineral that’s crucial to the body’s function. Foods Rich in Magnesium Include: Peanut butter, rice, Wheat, oat Bran, Squash, dried herbs, almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds and cocoa powder. A deficiency in magnesium can lead to muscle spasms, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety disorders, migraines, osteoporosis, and cerebral infarction. Major Benefits include stronger bones and Muscle Function. Magnesium is also a major cofactor in Energy Metabolism and aids in regulating a Healthy Heartbeat. Magnesium helps keep blood pressure normal, bones strong, and the heart rhythm steady. Experts say that many people in the U.S. aren’t eating enough foods with magnesium. This mild magnesium deficiency could put them at risk for a number of diseases. According to a 1999-2000 NHANES study (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey), 68% of Americans consumed less than the U.S. recommended daily allowance for magnesium. Studies showed that 45% consumed less than 75% of the recommended amount, and 19% consumed less than 50%. Adults who consumed less than the recommended amount of magnesium were about 1.5 times more likely to have elevated inflammation markers than adults who consumed the recommended amount. Magnesium is an essential mineral for staying healthy and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Multiple health benefits of magnesium include transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth. Health specialists have always emphasized the importance of including adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in our daily diet. Zinc, calcium, and magnesium are three of the most important minerals essential for good health. Magnesium aids in the absorption of calcium by the body, while zinc actively supports the body’s immune system.

Chlorophyll is a major Phytonutrient found in mostly green foods. benefits in our body heals, cleanses, and destroys many harmful pathogenic bacteria, fungus, and cancer cells. Foods Rich in Chlorophyll are Broccoli, Alfalfa, Tomato, Apples, Carrot, Spinach, Bananas, Garlic and Green Tea Leaves. Chlorophyll is as important as sunlight, without it life would not be possible. Hemoglobin is the iron-containing substance that provides red blood cells their red pigment and transports oxygen to the body tissues. In fact, we may not realize that our blood is composed of 75% of hemoglobin. As we digest green food, the magnesium helps in rebuilding and replenishing the red blood cells which is responsible for boosting our energy. Refined, low fiber and and animal fats contribute to major diseases start in the colon. Gastrointestinal problems can be best treated by improving the digestion and assimilation. Among those natural nutrients that heal the intestinal track, green vegetables high in chlorophyll content aid in loosening and cleansing the colon. This is to clarify that chlorophyll is not considered as essential nutrient. Nevertheless, people are lacking of green foods in their daily diet are lacking of enough chlorophyll, and therefore advised to add chlorophyll in their diet. We get our food from plants and the chlorophyll benefits within the plant. Even if you eat animals, most of the animals some people eat get their food from plants. But were to plants get their food?
The 2 key components plants get their food from are Healthy Soil and Sunlight.

Phytonutrients literally means plant (phyto) substance needed for good health (nutrients). Phytonutrients are the natural nutrients found in plants, such as lycopene from tomatoes, resveratrol from grapes, and Lutein from spinach leaves. We often don’t consume enough of these protective phytonutrients through diet alone, which is why it’s important to take supplements, such as DoubleX to fill in the gaps!

“Slight Edge Performance Program” Vitamin D Health Benefits

Mainstream medicine would be way different if they focused on prevention even half as much as they focused on intervention…” ~Anonymous

Vitamin D deficiency is common in athletes. Correcting the deficiency by taking a Vitamin D supplement can produce significant musculoskeletal sports health benefits. Here are Vitamin D Effects on sports health & athletic performance. Vitamin D affects:
muscle protein synthesis, muscle strength, muscle size, reaction time, balance, coordination, endurance
inflammation; and immunity. Vitamin D deficiency produces: muscle fiber atrophy, slow peak muscle contraction, prolonged time to muscle relaxation, and increased risk of chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Type II, fast-twitch muscles fibers, extremely important in many of the burst activities necessary for peak athletic performance and fall avoidance, are particularly sensitive to the effects of Vitamin D deficiency. There is no known threshold for optimal sports health benefits of vitamin D, but studies show many elite athletes are vitamin D deficient, with incidences of vitamin D deficiency in:
basketball players (up to 94%)
gymnasts (83%)
football players (81%)
Because seasonal variations are expected (athletes have higher levels in the summer, when they are getting vitamin D from exposure to the sun), so current recommendations are for testing athletes in early autumn.

Vitamin D is found in many food sources, such as fish, eggs, fortified milk, and cod liver oil. The sun also contributes significantly to the daily production of vitamin D. The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. It is used, alone or in combination with calcium, to increase bone mineral density and decrease fractures. Recently, research also suggests that vitamin D may provide protection from osteoporosis, hypertension (high blood pressure), cancer, and several autoimmune diseases. It helps the intestine absorb nutrients, including calcium and phosphorus. This ensures strong bones and a strong immune system. Vitamin D provides calcium balance in the body that prevents osteoporosis or arthritis. Vitamin D regulates blood pressure, reduces stress and tension, relieves body aches and pains by reducing muscle spasms, reduces respiratory infections, helps in differentiation of the cells, aids in insulin secretion, helps fight depression, improves overall skin health by reducing wrinkles, makes skin soft, strong, and smooth, and improves cardiovascular strength by providing a protective lining for the blood vessels.

Although vitamin D supplements are not as effective as synthesizing vitamin D naturally by the body, they are still effective in treating several medical conditions. Vitamin D fortified food products and fortified milk can also provide this essential nutrient to our body.

“Slight Edge Performance Program” Injury Prevention and Sports Performance Tips

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins. ~Jim Rohn

Today We are going to Learn about the Health Benefits of VITAMIN A, the MINERAL MOLYBDENUM and the PHYTONUTRIENT RESVERATROL.

VITAMIN A is one of the required VITAMIN antioxidants your body needs on a daily basis to function properly. Vitamin A works with numerous natural herbs to fight off disease and keep your immune system strong. The Vitamin A benefits help in numerous bodily functions from keeping your skin healthy to fighting off infection & disease (including cancer). Vitamin A helps maintain healthy eyes, skin, teeth, and bones. It’s also essential for cell division, meaning renewal and it plays a key role in keeping your immune system strong.

Molybdenum is an essential mineral required for many signficant chemical processes in the body. The element is available from many foods, including beans, beef liver, cereal grains, dark green leafy vegetables, legumes and peas. Molybdenum, along with copper, controls the movement and release of iron in the body. The role of iron utilization is important because iron provides oxygen to the body’s organ systems, which is essential for life. Without molybdenum, all body functions would be impaired because they would not receive the oxygen necessary for metabolism. This Phytonutrient is key in Protecting your cells from free radical damage, Inhibiting the spread of cancer, especially prostate cancer, Lowering your blood pressure, Keeping your heart healthy and improving elasticity in your blood vessels, Normalizing your anti-inflammatory response and Helping to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Why do I need a supplement?
The American Medical Association recommends that all adults take one multivitamin daily. This is true even if you already eat a diet rich in fresh, whole, natural foods, because the foods you consume often don’t supply all the vitamins and minerals you need, at the recommended levels. If you’re going to supplement, why not start with the world’s best multi? NUTRILITE® DOUBLE X® Vitamin/Mineral/Phytonutrient. BUY DOUBLE X HERE

“Slight Edge Performance Program” Sports Performance and Injury Prevention Tips

How much money will it cost you if you get sick or injured? How much is your Health Really Worth to you? As a Former Student-Athlete and now a Sports Performance Nutrition and Wellness Specialist I see a huge need for proper education and implementation of Preventative Health and Wellness solutions especially when it comes to Athletes Protecting their Own Health and Future.

Today you will learn about a vitamin, a mineral and a phytonutrient that are all vital to you performing at your maximum potential and staying healthy.

NIACIN is a VITAMIN also known as vitamin B3. NIACIN assists the Body’s conversion of FOOD into ENERGY. NIACIN works in the body to help proper functioning of the NERVOUS SYSTEM and METABOLISM PROCESS of Proteins and Fats. When You Think of the Vitamin NIACIN think ENERGY! NIACIN is found in Foods including eggs, milk, meat, cereal and green vegetables.

ZINC is an ESSENTIAL MINERAL that is needed along with other Enzymes to REPAIR wounds and maintain Fertility in adults and Growth in Children. ZINC also works to Synthesize Protein, Help Healthy Cells Reproduce, Preserve Vision, Boost IMMUNE SYSTEM STRENGTH and Protect against Free Radicals that Attack the Body. ZINC helps SUPPORT Healthy JOINTS and TISSUES Which is all very Important for ATHLETES. ZINC is Vital because it helps ATHLETES Speed up RECOVERY between Workouts.

LYCOPENE is a RED pigment found in RED Fruits and Vegetables like Tomatoes, Cherries, Apples, Cranberries, Red Peppers and GrapeFruit among many others. LYCOPENE is an Important PHYTONUTRIENT and ANTIOXIDANT that Supports CELL, PROSTATE, VASCULAR, IMMUNE and DNA HEALTH. Studies have shown that LYCOPENE has powerful BENEFITS that help REDUCE RISK of CANCER and CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. LYCOPENE is a VERY important ANTIOXIDANT that helps PREVENT OXIDATIVE STRESS By Free Radicals which is CRUCIAL for Serious Athletes.

MOST people DO NOT CONSUME enough of these PROTECTIVE VITAMINS, MINERALS and PHYTONUTRIENTS through diet alone, Which is WHY it is VERY IMPORTANT to Take PLANT BASED, HIGH QUALITY, and ORGANIC SUPPLEMENTS that are CERTIFIED and Have EVIDENCE Based Research to ensure Effectiveness and Safety.
