Sports Good for health

Tea is good for you, researchers say. Still, they continue to study the tasty leaves and such components as tannin, polyphenols and various other antioxidants. Research is going forward on separate but related tracks, art institutes and colleges world-wide, to discover and catalogue the use of tea against cancer and high blood pressure, and as a help in weight loss. There are other benefits beyond these disease-fighting properties, including the fact that good teas taste good. It is not as if there is any risk involved with picking a "wrong" tea, but picking just the right one (or two, or more) might help you get the most possible health benefits from the drink and its various ingredients. Reading tea leaves When choosing the right tea for your life and your health, there are a few factors to consider. Most teas have some positive and helpful components, but they may also have certain substances that may not be appropriate for specific individuals. Watch out for caffein...

Proper Hydration and Cramping Maybe you're not an athlete and you think that needs to be hydrated doesn't apply to you. But, here's a startling fact: If you are only 2% dehydrated you are subject to a reduction in your cognitive function, your short-term memory decreases, and your visual-motor function is also impaired. So you may want to read on. In order to be properly hydrated you need AT LEAST ½ half your body weight in ounces of water. For example, if you weigh 200lbs you need to drink about 100 ounces of H2O. That's if you're NOT an athlete, if you are training, working out, or competing, you need to increase that amount. You should start your day with a big glass of water. When we wake up we are dehydrated. While we sleep our body uses water to function and water is lost in water vapour as we breathe. Personally, I have a hard time with cold water first thing in the morning so the night before I fill up a 16oz glass and leave it on the counter for the ...

Sports nutrition can be defined as simply as the specific nutritional intake before during and after an athletic event or exercise session. My definition of an organic athlete is an athlete which seeks to achieve Xtreme Health(TM), maximum performance levels, and joyful living, by consuming primarily vegetarian, mostly raw, organic foods. A vegetarian can be a full vegan who consumes no meats, fish, poultry, or dairy products. Or you can be a semi-vegetarian and occasionally eat organic eggs, wild fish, and or poultry, but not meat. What I would like to do in this article is to share an enormous amount of knowledge for those who are seeking an organic lifestyle, in particular, a vegan lifestyle, while simultaneously competing in endurance events. I have gone to many resources on the internet to find information for endurance athletes which are vegetarians. They are very few if any which not only focus on endurance athletes and vegetarians but also then take it to the next level and...

To enhance performance, sports nutritionists and exercise physiologists recommend that tri-athletes maintain their ideal weight through a strict and well-planned nutrient-dense isoenergetic diet that is high in carbohydrates. This must be coupled with a daily intake of low-dose multivitamins. Women tri-athletes need to increase their iron intake. Before competitions, tri-athletes need to taper intensity training and their carb load. Half an hour to an hour prior to exercising, a pre-practice or pre-workout protein and carbohydrate snack should be consumed. Take lots of fluids while exercising to prevent heat-related illnesses and dehydration. Half an hour after the exercise or training, eat a protein and carbohydrate snack. When training during the morning, eat a snack before going to bed. In addition, one can further enhance the performance of tri-athletes with the aid of sports supplements. These man-made ergogenic (energy-producing) supplements can be potentially effective i...
