Top Supplements For Training/Exercise
Episode description
My background is I have a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine.
So nutrition stuff, particularly supplements is my jam.
Here are my top training supplements:
Protein – NOT the protein powder but protein intake food and as a nutritionist in nutritional medicine. FOOD is medicine. Actual real food sources having enough protein is number one for training.
L Carnitine - is an amino acid that freely runs in our body as it is. Most commonly, it is known as a natural fat burner. What it actually does is it helps thermogenesis in your body, which is where you heat up a bit faster to burn more energy and calories.
Amino Acid B CAA S - supplement with added electrolytes. Electrolytes are what our body needs to stay hydrated and keep us from cramping and having other issues going on.
They help us to function. They're the chemicals that conduct electricity when dissolved in water, they regulate nerve and muscle function, hydrate the body, balance blood acidity and pressure and help to rebuild damaged tissue.
Creatine - associated with bodybuilding and getting jacked in bulk and particularly as females but that can be used for all genders. It has fantastic supplement and helpful when it comes to creating muscle energy.
It allows muscles to work harder and longer before fatigue sets in.
EPA and DHA in Fish Oils - which is the different types of fats that you've got going on help to boost athletic performance. They also have so many great mental health benefits as well.
Help to improve your mental performance and energy as well, which in turn will help with athletic performance.
Probiotics - contain good bacteria that we put in our gut. Fantastic supplements for our gut health so the body can absorb the nutrients. Probiotics contain good bacteria that we put in our gut.
Glutamine/L Glutamine - another amino acid and it's most commonly known for muscle gain and fat burn, necessary to maintain muscle protein. Studies have shown that the when increasing intramuscular glutamine levels, that there's a direct link to influencing muscle cell volume, which enhances the protein synthesis and then increases the muscle size. Helps to reduce fatigue and improve exercise recovery.
Everybody has its own genetics and its own cellular functions and the way of working.
While something might be really effective for one person, it may not be effective for another person or as your body changes as you age or maybe you going through a different hormonal change or even for a female during your times of the month, you'll find that what might work at one phase won't work for another or won't be as effective or you won't enjoy as much.
It's always worth looking into what you're ingesting and putting into your body and who you're supporting because you never actually really know until you definitely know.
We will have a new segment "Could ask the nutritionist or Nutritionist Hotline". I'm doing a call out if you would like any nutrition questions answered.
YOU CAN ASK any NUTRITION and WELLNESS QUESTIONS
We would love to answer them for you and have you on and help everyone else out there because I think this is the right thing.
So if you're brave enough to put it out there, it's completely anonymous. It may not just help you and give you that nutritionist knowledge for free, and help others with the same questions or issues.
