| 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.
- Common causes are food fermenting in the mouth
(in the tonsilar crypts or between the teeth)
- 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.
