Texas Spring/Summer Training: Staying Safe!

Looked at the thermometer lately?  It's HOT, not just in Texas but all over the U.S.  We are breaking records on our smoothie sales at PureBody Nutrition, which tells me it's record breaking temperatures outside.  So here are some supplements that can help keep you from falling into the danger zone of heat exhaustion of worse.


Water
We do not mess around about the truthfulness of supplements and frankly if you aren't getting enough water, all the supplements in the world will not save you from dehydration.  Yes the other stuff is important but this is number one.  If you do any training outside this is number one and you should drink at least a gallon a day.


AfterGlow
Typically we recommend this for post-workout, but lately we have had a large amount of long distance runners, golfers, triathlon runners, tennis competitors, and every other outdoor sport enthusiast  flocking to the store for this to take before or during training and it is a GREAT choice.  
Here is why:

During any given training session, our bodies pull on stored glycogen as fuel for muscle contraction, strength and endurance. Amino acids, vitamin and nutrient levels are all significantly depleted in a typical 45 minute session. Creatine and ATP serum counts are now at their lowest points. And to make things worse, cortisol levels (muscle eating hormone) are at their highest. Your body is about to use muscle as an energy source!  Your favorite protein drink, or your mom, can’t save you now…

AfterGlow™  is the cure all for the post workout catabolic blues. Contrary to popular belief, high levels of protein directly after a training session will not properly replenish vital nutrients and save depleted and torn muscle fibers. In fact, several non-biased research studies prove excessive protein intake after a workout provides no physiological advantage whatsoever! 
Related research suggests skipping this meal is a one way ticket to catabolism. This means if you plan on skipping your post workout meal, do yourself a favor and just skip the workout.

KreAlkalyn

This product is in AfterGlow, but it does deserve its own description.  Krealkalyn specifically helps to keep water in the muscle tissue to prevent cramping and dehydration.  Now if you are not drinking enough water Krealkalyn can actually cause dehydration, but if you are hydrated, it can actually help your body hold water in the muscle tissue and prevent it.  

"Kre Alkalyn appears to have overcome these problems [of dehydration] by adjusting the PH levels to around about PH9. "1
