Greetings!,
We
are having a beautiful spring in Florida. Maybe the
nicest in years! For those who haven't seen it I am
rerunning the article on radiation and what you can do
with nutrition to protect yourself. This week I want to
officially welcome a new member of the BodyHealth Team.
Her name is Marisa Asplund.
To get to know her,
see below. She is an amazingly gifted athlete and we are
proud she is a member of our team. Have a great
week.

 Welcome
to our Team!
Professional
triathlete Marisa Asplund has set herself a new
challenge: switching from professional cycling to
Ironman 70.3 triathlons. The former middle school
teacher is based in Durango, Colorado and now focuses
on making an impact in Ironman 70.3. Asplund's
triathlon coach, Cliff English, is one of the world's
top triathlon coaches and has worked with the best
athletes in the sport since 1999. "There are many
factors that are essential for success for elite
triathletes. Body type, genetics, discipline, mental
toughness to name a few. These components don't
guarantee success but having them is essential. Marisa
has all these as an athlete," English said of
Asplund. "I expect her to have a very successful
career in triathlon and feel she will have an impact
and will 'break out' over the next 1-3 years."

 Here
is what MAP, coupled with some hard work, allows you
to do:
Foot march 20 miles on Saturday with a
75-pound pack at a 13:20/mile pace, and come back
strong on Monday with a relaxed 8-mile run, feeling
strong the whole way.
As our training for this
year's Best Ranger competition continues, the mileage
and intensity have increased week after week. The
harder we push our bodies to prepare for the
competition, the more MAP responds and delivers.
On
3 MAR, we pushed ourselves for 18 hours straight,
covering 30 miles with a 65-pound pack, completing two
20-minute (+) work capacity sessions, multiple
military skill events, and medical training. While our
bodies are conditioned to withstand punishment like
this, MAP helps us recover quickly and start focusing
on our next training session.

Train-Low,
Race-High: Part 2 by Ben Greenfield
|
|
|
|
 In
Part I of this "Train Low, Compete High"
carbohydrate restriction series from Ben Greenfield ,
you learned 4 reasons to think twice about eating
carbohydrates before a workout, and that current
research supports the idea that performing some of
your endurance training with low carbohydrate stores
and/or with low carbohydrate intake can actually
promote the formation of multiple factors responsible
for muscle repair, recovery and aerobic performance
adaptations.
So
how is it that reducing carbohydrate availability
during exercise might actually increase the
effectiveness of the exercise session? Without delving
too deeply into the nitty-gritty science, it all comes
down to the fact that the repair and recovery of
skeletal muscle tissue is dependent on the
"transcription" of certain components of
your RNA. And a bout of endurance exercise combined
with low muscle carbohydrate stores can result in
greater activation of this transcription, as well as
the activation of enzymes involved in carbohydrate
metabolism. In other words, by training in a
low-carbohydrate state, you may train your body to
recover faster and use carbohydrates more efficiently.

What
should you do about the coming radiation?
|
|
|
|
 Radiation
is hard on a body. It shuts down the energy systems,
produces apathy, mindlessness, and a feeling of no
future. For a man or woman, that is the entrance to
death's doorway.
While
we hope that the nuclear accident that is occurring in
Japan will be over soon, with no more danger to
anyone, being prepared is important. Here's what I
suggest:

Mental
Toughness and a Positive Attitude
|
|
|
|
Most
athletes fall under the category of "type A"
personality. More is better... Pain is your friend...
and no matter what the race results are, everyone is
sure after the race that they could have done better.
What causes this anomaly and why is it that these
talented athletes can train so well and yet only some
of them go on to actually race at the level that they
train at?
In
the age group athletes that I see with amazing
abilities, it is only a select few of these folks that
go on to actually compete at the level they are
capable of. It is these folks that have a very
positive attitude and positive self talk. There are
people that are 'energy givers' and there are those
who are 'energy sappers'. We all know who they are.
The energy givers are the ones that you want to be
around. They are always positive and upbeat. On a
windy day they are the ones saying "what wind"?
While the energy sappers are the ones saying "This
wind is terrible". Just think about the mental
images that those two sayings create - one positive
and the other negative. Think about the emotions that
each one of those sayings creates within you.
