  • Protein and Detoxification


    Our environment is filled with toxic chemicals that are constantly entering our bodies. To counter these the body must continually work to remove these toxins. If the protein needs of the body are not met the body’s detoxification systems will not work optimally. This can lead to illness, poor training effect, and fatigue.

    The main detoxification pathways in the body are in the liver, kidney, lung and intestine. There are two phases to the system each dependent on having enough protein in the body Phase one is an enzyme system called Cytochrome P450. These enzymes require the three amino acid combo called gluatathione, and another amino acid N acetylcysteine to function. Other nutrients such as B2 (riboflavin), niacin, magnesium, iron, and indoles from cruciferous vegetables, and quercitin will support phase 1.

    About six months ago, after trying many different types of therapy and various supplements, I read about MAP and decided to give it a try. I immediately noticed a difference in the shortened amount of recovery time needed after workouts and the way my body felt after taking MAP. Most importantly for me, I began to have less and less hip pain.

    I am now finally injury-and pain-free and was able to increase my training mileage and quality this past summer enough to train for and complete my first half ironman triathlon (placing 2nd in my age group (25-29)).

    Most recently I've been able to return to my favorite sport, competitive running, with a couple of road races this fall (most recently, placing first in my age group in the Acumen Solutions Jingle all the Way 10k in Washington DC.)


    Phytochemicals and Your Performance


    Athletic success depends on a healthy body. A healthy body depends on nutritious food. Those foods must include lots of organic fruits and vegetables. Included in all fruits and vegetable are phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are plant based substances that are protective and disease preventing. Scientists have discovered over 900 different varieties in common fruits and vegetables. An average serving of vegetables contains over 100 of them. Carotenoids, indoles, lycopenes, silymarin, limonene, phenols, flavonoids, saponins, and catechins are examples of various phytochemicals.


    Commercial Energy Drinks are Poisons


    Don't be brainwashed into thinking that “energy drinks” containing sugar, caffeine and a few token amino acids are healthy, natural or safe energizers when you are feeling fatigue. They cause serious disturbances in blood sugar regulation, and adrenal burnout and often, sleep problems.

    Winter Training Tips

    By Kelly Keane

    As endurance athletes, we often dread training in the cold dark winters. These cold months are often the “down time” period for many athletes, however it is still crucial for endurance athletes to maintain their fitness level and not allow deconditioning to occur. Outlined below are a few running workouts to keep you motivated and energized during the winter months.

    1. Maintain your aerobic capacity and endurance by mixing it up! Go cross country skiing or snowshoeing. This is a great way to increase strength and also tax your aerobic capacity. Going for a 90 min snowshoe or cross country ski will give you an incredible cardiovascular workout while also lessening your chance of injury.
