The easy way to improve your sport’s performance.

November 24th, 2007 by admin

I have researched some tips on how to easily improve your overall performance in sports with various products. I’ve listed the products, what they are, how they can improve your overall sport’s performance, and if I have personally tried the product.

Aloe Vera Freedom – Aloe Vera Freedom is an aloe based drink and helps to maintain healthy joint function, and minimizes wear and tear. Aloe Vera contains over 200 nutrients and naturally increases/improves the body’s energy and the body’s natural metabolic processes, resulting in enhance performance and vitality. Freedom contains 85% aloe vera, glucosamine, MSM and Chondroitin.

Glucosamine- the body makes a sufficient amount of glucosamine to handle normal repair needs. However, if there is an injury to the body combined with a degenerative process, e.g. damage to the invertabral discs, and/or knee ligaments from jogging, then the normal production of glucosamine may be insufficient to allow complete healing. Many of these chronic injuries may never heal without nutritional help.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – Can help prevent osteoarthritis and post-athletic fatigue syndrome, which generally follows intense athletic activity.

Chondroitin - Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of the cartilage. Along with glucosamine, chondroitin is being widely used as a dietary supplement for treatment of osteoarthritis – although there is conflicting research about the benefits of chondroitin.

RESULTS

Fantastic stuff. Freedom has been the nutritional supplement that has enabled me to recommence sporting activities after I damaged my knees.

Bee Pollen Tablets – is the perfect food. It helps to provides stamina and energy for training, and is very convenient when eating meals is not possible, e.g. – prior to competitions.

RESULTS

I didn’t notice any change in stamina or energy levels.

Vitamins A & C – helps your body to use oxygen and to detoxify the by-products of producing energy, which reduces the stress of endurance sports.

RESULTS

I’m very unlikely to enlist in endurance sports, but it may help with overall performance, so I’ll try the supplements.

Fish oil – there are many benefits to taking fish oils and there has been a lot of research on fish oil. One of the benefits of taking fish oil is an improvement in your joint health.

RESULTS

I’ve taken fish oil supplements in the past for a couple of reasons – improve my skin as I suffer from acne (when will my body realise I’m 40 and not 14!) and to reduce the likelihood of having a high blood pressure and high cholesterol level, which runs in my family. Whether it helps my joints, I’m not sure as I take Freedom.

Water – Muscles are 75% water and a loss of only 3% water causes a drop in strength and 8% loss of speed. If you’re thirsty, it’s the body warning sign that you’re dehydrated.

RESULTS

What a refreshing drink – love it. I have noticed if I don’t have some water before I go do any sporting activities, I struggle to run as well. I need to purchase one of those water bottles that can be slipped over the hand, so I can sip on it during a run to keep my hydration levels up and thus enhance my endurance levels.

Aloe Heat Lotion – Rub into legs before and after running to help reduce legs feeling stiff after training. Aloe Heat Lotion is Ph balanced and is quickly absorbed into the skin. The heat producing formula increases blood flow to the area where the lotion is applied

RESULTS

I haven’t tried it yet, but I will do. I like the sound of something that can reduce the stiffness in my legs after exercise.

MSM Gel – MSM gel can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and restore mobility.

RESULTS

Fab stuff. Whenever I’ve overdone it in sports and my knees ache, MSM gel relieves the aches and pains.
