Optimal Performance for Athletes
Butch Hamilton
Do you play golf,softball,volleyball, baseball, hockey, soccer.....for that matter.....any sport or daily activity which requires muscle exertion.?
Did you know that muscle exertion causes our bodies to release damaging proteins?
I'll show you some natural ingredients that will help improve your physical stamina.
The first natural ingredient is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme that reduces the proteins that are released when a muscle or joint is overextended. These proteins are what lead to inflammation and pain. Studies have shown that Bromelain can also reduce bruising, pain and healing time, and can even help as a therapeutic aid in treating inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis and even sinusitis.
Another natural ingredient for optimal agility is cetyl myristoleate. Cetyl Myristoleate has been reported to act as a lubricant for the joints and muscles, help in the building of cartilage, and helps your body reduce inflammation. It is an expensive, rare ingredient but one that has shown in studies to have impressive results in protecting the joints and lowering the possibility for future damage. There is mounting evidence that Cetyl Myristoleate can be effective in the joint discomfort reliever of many forms of arthritis. While it is true that the evidence from these studies can not be considered conclusive, it is a beginning. It should challenge you to think out side the box and consider that just because it did not come from a drug company does not mean that it will not work.
Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Production of glucosamine slows with age. Since the body's natural glucosamine is used to make and repair joint cartilage, taking glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is thought to help repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body's supply of glucosamine.
There is promising evidence that glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. For example, a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine examined people with osteoarthritis over three years. Researchers assessed pain and structural improvements seen on x-ray. They gave 202 people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate a day or a placebo.
At the end of the study, researchers found that glucosamine slowed the progression of knee osteoarthritis compared to the placebo. People in the glucosamine group had a significant reduction in pain and stiffness. On x-ray, there was no average change or narrowing of joint spaces in the knees (a sign of deterioration) of the glucosamine group. In contrast, joint spaces of participants taking the placebo narrowed over the three years.
Reduce the Effects of Wear and Tear
Just like our body, our joints require hydration in order to stay flexible, strong and pliable. The cartilage in our joints stretches every time we move-when a joint is properly hydrated, it will stretch without tearing.
