    Winner at Clearwater Halfathon - Beth Wonicker-Cook


    Now that I'm a Masters (over 40) triathlete I keep waiting to peak, but my performance keeps getting better. I believe the MAP product has helped me continue to improve this past year by decreasing recovery time and allowing me to increase my training schedule and intensity.

    I also believe MAP has helped me recover more quickly from minor overuse injuries. Case in point: I've raced in countless running races and triathlons over the past twenty years, but never had the honor of breaking the tape as the overall female winner until last month at the Clearwater 5 Miler.

    I couldn't stop smiling for about an hour and my family was so proud of me.

    Thank you!
    Beth Wonicker-Cook


    Have you had your blood pressure checked lately?


    Being an athlete does not necessarily protect one from having an elevated blood pressure. And since high blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease, one should be on the lookout to make sure its normal. High blood pressure can be a silent disease that can go on for a long time before there are any symptoms present.


    Does your running or kissing partner have bad breath?


    Want to help?


    Here are some things to know about it.

    1. Common causes are food fermenting in the mouth (in the tonsilar crypts or between the teeth)
    2. Stomach gases regurgitating into the back of the throat often from lack of sufficient hydrochloric acid in the stomach and with subsequent contamination with a bacteria called H Pylori


    What does scuba diving have in common with other athletic activities?


    Athletic activity of any kind produces free radicals. Free radicals damage cells and enzymes. Aging and injury are the result of this process.

    In a recent study in the Journal of Physiology, scientists found that when the antioxidant vitamins C and E were given to scuba divers, the damage done to the inner lining of their blood vessels was prevented. This is the same thing that can happen when one does any other kind of athletic activity.

    Can one get away with too little protein each day?

    With hard training-or even with the normal stresses of life-proteins can become damaged by the physical trauma of exercise and from free radical attack by chemicals, pollutants, pesticides and heavy metals in the environment. If these micro injuries to body proteins are not repaired, then illness or breakdown or immune deficiency will occur. This is the mechanism of pulled muscles, or lack of training improvement, or long lasting flu-like symptoms, or even cancer.

    The body can only fix the damaged proteins when it has enough quality protein in the diet to do so. Scientists are able to measure this effect in looking at whole body protein turnover. This is a measure of how quickly a body protein is repaired when it becomes injured. If the body does not have the amino acids to repair on hand when the injury occurs, then the repair is delayed. Persistent muscle soreness after a hard workout means the repair is lagging. Ideally the repair should be complete within 24 hours, and it can be IF there is sufficient nutrients to get the job done. These nutrients are proteins, vitamins, minerals and essential fats. If there are not enough of these nutrients, then the protein turnover will be slowed and healing does not occur.
