“Slight Edge Performance Program” Nutrition to Increase Speed and Athleticism

“Slight Edge Performance Program” Nutrition to Increase Speed and Athleticism.

Don’t you want to give your body what it needs to have more energy to train harder, complete your work outs and run faster?

World-class Olympic sprinter and former world’s fastest man Asafa Powell is the perfect example of an elite athlete who plant based supplementation made a tremendous difference for and the reason for that is he was now provided with the nutrients he needed to operate at maximum efficiency.

World class Olympic sprinter Asafa Powell broke the world record for 100-meter sprint in June 2005, three months after adding NUTRILITE™ DOUBLE X™ to his training regimen.

In 2005, the then 22-year-old Asafa Powell broke the men’s 100-meter world record at a meet in Athens, Greece becoming the world Record holder in the 100-meter sprint — just three months after his brother introduced him to NUTRILITE DOUBLE X. Asafa’s brother Donovan, who also was a world-class sprinter, was introduced to the NUTRILITE brand by his wife’s parents. Appreciating the benefits he received from DOUBLE X, Donovan supplied the multivitamin to his younger brother when he complained of low energy levels during his training early in 2005.

“Taking DOUBLE X was the only change I made to how I had been training,” says Asafa. “After I started taking it, I felt I had more energy to train harder and run faster. I am very careful about what I consume so I appreciate the balanced vitamin and mineral content plus the rich, all-natural plant concentrates in DOUBLE X.”

The world class runner said: “When I run, I don’t think about anyone else. I don’t think about my competition, I just do what I have to do. Nutrilite is a lot like me that way, because they don’t consider the competition in what they do, they just focus on being the best in their field,” he says. “I am confident that DOUBLE X and NUTRILITE will help me power up for the competitions yet to come.”

Why and how did good nutriton Help Asafa Powell improve his training, increase his speed and become the world’s fastest man?

Your skeletal muscles contain two main classifications of muscle fibers: slow twitch and fast twitch muscles. Healthy skeletal muscles play a huge role in your day-to-day functioning — they support your posture, as well as allow for movement and locomotion.

Slow-twitch muscle fibers contract at a relatively slow rate and play an important role in muscle endurance. Fast twitch muscle fibers contract rapidly, and allow for explosive movements. The health of your fast twitch muscle fibers relies partially on the quality of your diet, and consuming specific nutrients helps to nourish these muscle fibers.

VITAMIN E
One nutrient that can benefit your fast twitch muscle fibers is vitamin E, a family of eight antioxidant vitamins. When exercising our muscles produce metabolic activity that include the numerous chemical reactions required for muscle contraction that also generate a number of harmful chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals can damage your muscle fibers, causing tissue damage called oxidative stress that can lead to the destruction of muscle fibers. Vitamin E can help suppress the breakdown of fast twitch muscle fibers in the muscles in response to oxidative stress. Eating foods rich in vitamin E and also taking plant based vitamin E supplements might help to prevent fast twitch muscle fiber breakdown due to free radical exposure. Buy NUTRILITE DOUBLE X® and give your body 500% daily value of vitamin E.

VITAMIN D
Vitamin D also might have a beneficial effect on your fast twitch muscle fibers. Maintaining proper levels of vitamin D helps your body to properly use calcium, a mineral required for proper functioning of your muscles, including fast twitch muscle fibers. Consuming vitamin D can increase the number of fast twitch muscle fibers within your muscle tissue, as well as increase the size of these fibers, according to a 2009 study published in “Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.” Overall, this translates to an increase in athletic performance. Buy NUTRILITE DOUBLE X® and give your body 100% daily value of vitamin D. Research shows that most people don’t get enough vitamin D in their diet. NUTRILITE Vitamin D3 provides the naturally occurring form of vitamin D your body produces when exposed to sunlight – in an amount that is equal to 20 glasses of milk.

While vitamins D and E might prove beneficial for maintaining healthy fast twitch muscle fibers, maintaining healthy muscles relies on a number of factors. Regular physical activity helps maintain or improve the size and numbers of fast twitch muscle fibers as well as maintains the health of your muscles as a whole. In addition, other nutritional factors, such as protein intake, help to determine the size of your muscles and muscle fibers.

PROTEIN
Your fast twitch muscle fibers — as well as your general muscle health — rely on adequate protein intake. Protein makes up a significant portion of your muscle tissue, and your muscle cells must continually generate new protein to maintain themselves. Eating foods rich in protein increases your intake of amino acids, the building blocks used to make protein within your cells. Fast twitch muscle fibers, in particular, require the amino acid beta-alanine. Beta-alanine is important to the production of carnosine, a compound associated with improved athletic performance and found in high levels in healthy fast twitch muscle fibers. Consume lean meats, eggs, dairy, soy and quinoa as sources of beta-alanine, as well as other amino acids required for healthy fast twitch muscles. Fuel your muscle-building power. The ultimate combination of flavor and performance to help fuel the building and rebuilding of lean muscle mass. 25 grams of protein and a nutritious blend of ingredients and antioxidants help muscles recover and rebuild, while boosting energy stores (or muscle energy) to ensure you are ready for your next workout. FEEL THE ENERGY. KNOW THE POWER.™BUY NUTRILITE® Whey Protein Bar – Cookies and Cream.

OTHER IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS
In addition, minerals like sodium, calcium and potassium help your nerves communicate with fast twitch muscle fibers, allowing for controlled muscle contraction and movement. To best nourish your fast twitch muscles, follow a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, fresh produce, whole grains, legumes and healthy fats. If you’re interested in increasing your fast twitch muscle fiber number or size, talk to a registered dietitian or sports scientist to recommend a diet and exercise program to help reach your goals.

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.

NO BANNED SUBSTANCES!!! HOW TO KNOW YOUR SUPPLEMENTS ARE SAFE???

NSF Certification Addresses Athletes’ Fear of Unknowingly Testing Positive for Banned Substances.

NSF International’s Certified for Sport® program reduces the risk that a dietary or sports supplement contains banned substances. Recognized by Major League Baseball (MLB) and the MLB Players Association, National Football League (NFL), Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and the PGA, the NSF Certification program responds to the growing demands by athletes, coaches, team owners and others concerned about finding banned substances in sports nutrition products.

“Slight Edge Performance” Sport Nutrition Tip (Phytonutrients & Why supplementation?)

Urgent! “Slight Edge Performance” Sport nutrition Tip of the Day! Why do I need a supplement?
The American Medical Association recommends that all adults take one multivitamin because the foods you consume often don’t supply all the vitamins and minerals you need, at the recommended levels. Phytonutrients are naturally occurring chemicals in plants that help resist disease, promote healthy growth, and enhance organ function. Antioxidants are your natural defenses against free radicals. Free radicals oxidize compounds in your cells starting a chain reaction of instability and damage.We often don’t consume enough of these protective phytonutrients through diet alone, which is why it’s important to take plant based, NSF Certified for Sport supplements. In my opinion If you’re going to supplement, why not start with the world’s best multi? NUTRILITE® DOUBLE X® Vitamin/Mineral/Phytonutrient. You get the reassurance of Nutrilite’s cutting-edge research; plant concentrates from natural sources, grown to the highest standards; and the nutritional insurance offered by a great multi. Remember! When it comes to your health don’t just play the game, learn and understand how the game is played!

How Effective is Your Multi-Vitamin Supplement?

Why do I need a Multi-Vitamin? I mean I eat pretty good. Why do I need to take extra Vitamin C and what the heck is Riboflavin? If you’ve found Yourself asking similar questions raise your hand! I have been competing as an athlete all my life. I remember my First game playing on my middle school association football team where I ran a kickoff Return back for a Touchdown on the opening kickoff! I even set a record at my old high school by having the most punt returns for touchdowns in a Single Game with two! What an Incredible feeling! I received a scholarship to go play NCAA football at Virginia State University in 2004! Throughout all my experience playing sports and all the great coaches I encountered I missed out on one major thing and that was Sport nutrition education. I don’t remember any of my coaches ever teaching me about the importance of sport nutrition and the impact it may have on my athletic and academic performance. This is why we created the Slight Edge Performance Program to do just that! Coaches can teach their athletes about the physical aspect of their sport but many athletes lack the education of sport nutrition that will help them perform at the highest level and reach their full potential!

So back to the Question! Why should I take a multivitamin as an student-athlete? Student-Athletes have a higher energy requirement than non-athletes! Your Food is literally your Fuel! From now on look at your body as a Vehicle and Eat to Fuel your body! That Fuel will give your body the energy it needs to Go, Do and Perform! Most athletes don’t get the Dailey recommended Nutrition intake they should that’s why it’s so crucial to take a High Quality, Sport Certified, Plant-Based Food Supplement. I personally use Nutrilite Double X to fill any nutritional gaps I may have. You get what you pay for so you really have to ask yourself “how much is your health worth to you?” I started using Nutrilite Double X multivitamin/ multi mineral while playing NCAA football. I noticed my energy was incredible and lasted all day! My focus, endurance, stamina and strength all increased! As a fitness instructor and physical development consultant now I personally recommend that everyone invest in a high quality, plant based food supplement to bridge any nutritional gaps they may have. And if you’re going to be fueling your body to perform then you better put the best type of Fuel in your body and Nutrilite Double X is the very best! In fact Nutrilite is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to develop safe and effective supplements made from whole plant concentrates. I want you to do your research! Here is a link to a website that will give ratings and info about the most effective and non-effective vitamins on the market! You may be surprised!
