Exercise and Nutrition

By: Dr. Kenneth S. Ross DC, JD

Altamonte Springs Chiropractor

No matter what type of exercise you do they require energy, which is defined ad the ability to do work. Energy can be in the form of active or kinetic, or stored as potential energy. Here at ChiropracticPainMedicine & WeightLossCenter in Altamonte Springs, FL, Dr. Ross is committed to your health & fitness.

 The first step in producing energy is motion. If you do nothing all day, you have potential energy or stored energy. If you get up and walk around, the stored energy becomes active or kinetic energy. In other words, you begin to use energy to accomplish a task, like walking. Once you use up your energy, there needs to be a way to replenish it. This is accomplished by the intake of food we eat. This is why exercise, nutrition are some important in the way we produce energy,  lose weight and staying fit to increase our chances of not getting any serious health problems.

 There are two types of exercise we can do. The first is aerobic, which requires the use of oxygen. These exercises are accomplished with slow regular participation, but can be fast also depending on the aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercises are designed primarily for the heart and respiratory systems.

 The other type of exercise is anaerobic, which does not require oxygen.

In general, short term high intensity exercise is classified as anaerobic, while aerobic is long term low intensity exercise. Examples of anaerobic exercise would be weight lifting or short term high intensity exercise. Anaerobic exercise is primarily used for strength training or conditioning.

 Most exercises combine both aerobic and anaerobic activities, but the longer you workout, the more aerobic the exercise becomes. Walking as an example is great exercise for people who may not be able to do weight training. Walking is the only exercise in which the rate of participation does not decline in your later years. In fact the highest percentage of walkers, (39.4%) are found in men 65 years and older.

 Studies show that when done on a regular schedule, it can improve the body's ability to consume more oxygen, lower the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and increase the efficiency of the heart and lungs. Walking burns about the same amount of calories per mile as running. This is especially important in people who cannot perform running activities. Someone in poor shape will benefit from slow speed and gradually build up to aster speeds. Walking can be done anytime, almost anywhere and can be done by anyone, and it doesn't cost anything. The benefits of regular exercise and eating right will improve your quality of life dramatically.

Nutrition for Sports and Exercise $42 Nutrition for Sports and Exercise

Nutrition and Exercise Concerns of Middle Age $119.95 Nutrition and Exercise Concerns of Middle Age

Sport and Exercise Nutrition $61.99 Now widely adopted on courses throughout the world, the prestigious Nutrition Society Textbook series provides students with the scientific basics in nutrition in the context of a systems and disease approach rather than on a nutrient by nutrient basis. In addition books provide a means to enable teachers and students to explore the core principles of nutrition and to apply these throughout their training to foster critical thinking at all times. This NS Textbook on Sport and Exercise Nutrition has been written to cover the latest information on the science and practice of sport and exercise nutrition. A key concept behind this textbook is that it aims to combine the viewpoints of world leading nutrition experts from both academia/research and a practical stand point. Plus where necessary there are additional practitioner based authors to ensure theory is translated into practice for each chapter in the form of either ‘practice tips' or ‘information sheets' at the end of relevant chapters. The textbook in essence can be divided into three distinct but integrated parts: Part 1: covers the key components of the science that supports the practice of sport and exercise nutrition including comprehensive reviews on: nutrients both in general and as exercise fuels; exercise physiology; hydration, micronutrients; and supplements. Part 2: moves into focusing on specific nutrition strategies to support different types of training including: resistance; power/sprint; middle distance/speed endurance; endurance; technical/skill, team; and specific competition nutrition needs.

Ultimate Nutrition's Glutamine 400g $29.95 Muscle Recover Description: ? Muscle Recover ? Ultimate Nutrition Glutapure ? Helps decrease muscle soreness This new product contains 100% of the finest L-glutamine available on the market today. Because l-glutamine is essential to maintaining muscle mass and encouraging growth, athletes have praised this product for its effectiveness. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, comprising more than 60% of the free amino acid pool in skeletal muscle and greater than 20% of total circulating amino acids. Supplemental L-glutamine may help reduce muscle soreness and rebuild muscle tissue. During stressful situations (i.e. heavy resistive weight training) the body can lose a large amount of glutamine. A loss of glutamine during exercise may be a signal for protein catabolism (muscle breakdown). Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent the loss of body mass through the positive role glutamine plays in protein synthesis and its action as a potent anabolic agent. When muscle glutamine levels are restored in a positive nitrogen balance, muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate. Glutamine also produces actions on glucose metabolism and the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Glutamine converts to glucose without changes in either insulin or glucagen, the hormones that regulate blood sugar. During dieting and times of carbohydrate depletion, glutamine can exert positive effects on the amount of body fat loss as well as the retention of lean body mass. Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 5 g Servings per Container: 80 L-Glutamine 5 g **Daily value not established. Directions: As a dietary supplement, take one serving (5g, approx one level teaspoon) mixed in 150 ml (~5oz) of water or fruit juice, two to three times a day, evenly spread, or on an empty stomach. On training days, take one serving immediately after training.

Ultimate Nutrition's Creapure 1000g $39.5 MUSCLE MAXIMIZER Description: MUSCLE MAXIMIZER Ultimate Nutrition� Creatine Monohydrate Helps Improve Athletic Performance To perform optimally, muscles need energy. The body provides the energy needed in situations requiring immediate, high-intensity actions, as in exercise, in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Since the body has only a limited supply of ATP, usually lasting only a few seconds of intense exercise, ATP is continuously produced to supply energy in order for the muscles to function. The burst of energy is produced by the breakdown of ATP when one phosphate group is released and packs considerable metabolic energy. The body uses creatine phosphate to quickly replenish ATP. The more energy the muscles store, the better they can perform in events, which require intense, immediate energy, such as weightlifting, sprinting, jumping, football, hockey and soccer. Since creatine is stored in the muscle as creatine phosphate, intake of supplemental creatine can increase the production of energy that enables muscles to perform at higher intensity. While the body produces its own supply of creatine, it is not sufficient to supply the muscle with the added energy necessary for intense performance. The benefits of creatine supplementation for endurance athletes have been actively researched. This research has established that creatine can, in fact, extend endurance at a relatively high dose of 20 grams per day. Creatine increases the muscle mass and muscle girth if taken along with a sustained exercise regimen. Initially it may also increase weight due to gain in the muscle mass. This increase may slow down some people, especially swimmers. The "slowing down" may be due to the highly aerobic nature of this exercise and should be reversible after sustained exercise. The ergogenic, or performance-enhancing, effect of creatine is best achieved by creatine monohydrate. Ideally, the increase of creatine in the body is achieved by a five-to-seven-day "loading" period followed by a maintenance period. Since more stored creatine will produce more energy, it is best to optimize its uptake into the muscle during the maintenance phase by supplementing it with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates increase creatine uptake into muscle and reduce its excretion in the urine. Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 1 Teaspoon (5 g) Servings per Container: 200 Creatine Monohydrate 5 g * *Daily value not established. Other Ingredients: Creatine Monohydrate. Directions: As a dietary supplement, take one rounded teaspoon, approx. 5 grams two times a day, evenly spaced, on an empty stomach. Optional 8-week creatine monohydrate loading and maintenance cycle: - Week 1: Loading (20g/day) - Weeks 2-5: Maintenance (10g/day) - Weeks 6-8 Off (no creatine) - Repeat Cycle

Ultimate Nutrition's Whey, Prostar� (Banana) 2lb $34.95 The Protein Powerhouse Description: ? The Protein Powerhouse ? Ultimate Nutrition ? 25 Grams of Protein Per Serving ? 6 Grams of BCAAs Protein is probably the most important supplement for all athletes, but it is especially indispensable for those involved in long-term, high intensity endurance training. It is the fuel for the build-up, mass and toning of the muscle. In fact, protein is essential for growth and development. The proteins that make up the human body are not obtained directly from the diet; rather, dietary protein is broken down into its constituent parts known as amino acids, which are the basic building blocks of life. That means that it is the amino acids, and not protein per se, which are essential nutrients. Of the 20 amino acids that the body needs to make protein, eleven are designated as nonessential amino acids because they can be produced by the human body from other amino acids and do not need to be obtained from the diet. The remaining nine amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and are, therefore, called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained by degradation of the dietary protein. All of these essential amino acids must be present in the body in order for it to build and repair muscle. The manner in which the body uses protein during and after exercise is quite different from the way it utilizes carbohydrates or fat for energy. In the hours after exercise, the body begins to build the so-called structural proteins from amino acids for muscle repair and growth, and remodeling the tissues needed for performance. This is one of the reasons that athletes should pay particular heed to nutrition for fast and complete recovery and make it an integral part of their workout regimen. Exercise duration and intensity are important factors in determining which of the nutrient fuels are burned to gain energy. An exercise regimen comprising of low- to moderate intensity of long duration necessitates large quantities of fuel, oftentimes more than carbohydrates and fat reserves in the body can provide. Therefore, the body begins to utilize structural and functional proteins during long-term aerobic exercise. In contrast, high-intensity exercise of short duration mostly uses glucose, which spares the protein reservoir of the body. To meet the needs of athletes, Ultimate Nutrition has designed 100% Prostar Whey Protein to contain all the essential and nonessential amino acids to build the muscle after intense exercise of both short and long duration. It is a customized blend of all the nutrients, including immune enhancing factors from whey protein by a specialized process. Since exercise can take a toll on the immune system, 100% Prostar Whey Protein is the nutritional supplement of choice for those who lead an active lifestyle. 100% Prostar Whey Protein is not just for the athlete however. It supports the muscle maintenance, buildup and toning among individuals who are merely "weekend warriors." Ultimate Nutrit

Ultimate Nutrition's Whey, Prostar� (Banana) 5lb $69.96 The Protein Powerhouse Description: THE PROTEIN POWERHOUSE PROSTAR 100% WHEY PROTEIN ? 25 Grams of Protein Per Serving ? Available in 10 Flavors ~ 6 Grams of BCAAs Protein is probably the most important supplement for all athletes, but it is especially indispensable for those involved in long-term, high intensity endurance training. It is the fuel for the build-up, mass and toning of the muscle. In fact, protein is essential for growth and development. The proteins that make up the human body are not obtained directly from the diet; rather, dietary protein is broken down into its constituent parts known as amino acids, which are the basic building blocks of life. That means that it is the amino acids, and not protein per se, which are essential nutrients. Of the 20 amino acids that the body needs to make protein, eleven are designated as nonessential amino acids because they can be produced by the human body from other amino acids and do not need to be obtained from the diet. The remaining nine amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and are, therefore, called essential amino acids. These amino acids must be obtained by degradation of the dietary protein. All of these essential amino acids must be present in the body in order for it to build and repair muscle. The manner in which the body uses protein during and after exercise is quite different from the way it utilizes carbohydrates or fat for energy. In the hours after exercise, the body begins to build the so-called structural proteins from amino acids for muscle repair and growth, and remodeling the tissues needed for performance. This is one of the reasons that athletes should pay particular heed to nutrition for fast and complete recovery and make it an integral part of their workout regimen. Exercise duration and intensity are important factors in determining which of the nutrient fuels are burned to gain energy. An exercise regimen comprising of low- to moderate intensity of long duration necessitates large quantities of fuel, oftentimes more than carbohydrates and fat reserves in the body can provide. Therefore, the body begins to utilize structural and functional proteins during long-term aerobic exercise. In contrast, high-intensity exercise of short duration mostly uses glucose, which spares the protein reservoir of the body. To meet the needs of athletes, Ultimate Nutrition has designed 100% Prostar Whey Protein to contain all the essential and nonessential amino acids to build the muscle after intense exercise of both short and long duration. It is a customized blend of all the nutrients, including immune enhancing factors from whey protein by a specialized process. Since exercise can take a toll on the immune system, 100% Prostar Whey Protein is the nutritional supplement of choice for those who lead an active lifestyle. 100% Prostar Whey Protein is not just for the athlete however. It supports the muscle maintenance, buildup and toning among individuals who are merely "weeke

Ultimate Nutrition's Crea Max 144Caps $24.95 Builds, hydrates, and helps muscle recovery Description: ? Muscle First Aid Kit ? Ultimate Nutrition Creamax ? Builds, hydrates, and helps muscle recovery The major challenge for athletes and physical fitness buffs is to keep the muscles and brain energized. This is especially the case for endurance athletes who also need to recover their muscle power quickly after an intense workout and exercise. Muscle contraction and relaxation are driven by energy in the cells provided by the compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Muscles, however, have only a limited supply of ATP, and their levels are rapidly used up during exercise, particularly in short, intense bursts of anaerobic activity. Many athletes need immediate replenishment of energy in the muscle during demanding regimens, such as sprinting and weightlifting. In these situations, the body produces ATP, the energy currency in the cells, which powers muscle movement and control. How much and how efficiently ATP is produced depends upon the amounts of creatine phosphate stored in the cell. Creatine is the biomolecule which produces ATP. Creatine is indigenous to the human body and is produced by the liver and stored in the brain, skeletal and heart muscles where it serves as a ready pool to produce ATP. Creatine is the key substance that helps speed up the ATP refueling of the muscle. More creatine in the muscle yields greater energy production that allows muscle to work longer and at higher intensity. How does creatine help the muscle perform at higher efficiency and recover faster? Creatine saturates the muscle to convert it into ATP. This conversion takes place in the absence of oxygen and is, therefore, used as an anaerobic pathway for energy. Creatine is, however, more than just an ergogenic nutrient. It has a voluminizing effect on the muscle. Cell voluminizing, or cellular hydration, involves binding of water to the muscle fiber. This binding, in turn, gives rise to the "pumped" look. Since water is bound inside the muscle, athletes using creatine do not have the "puffy" appearance. In other words, the muscle looks larger but, more importantly, has improved strength and has high energy and intensity, allowing the athlete to recover faster and have more energy for each training session. Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 6 Capsules Servings per Container: 24 Creatine Monohydrate 2000 mg * L-Glutamine 2000 mg * L-Taurine 2000 mg * *Daily value not established.

Ultimate Nutrition's Amino Gold 325Tabs $53.95 Amino Gold Protein Description: Amino Gold continues to gain praise throughout the supplement field. For people interested in optimal health and performance, this product offers protein critical for rebuilding damaged muscles to accelerate recovery. All life depends on proteins. Proteins carry out all biological functions in living organisms including humans. Proteins are made of amino acids, which are their basic building blocks. Essentially, amino acids are strung like beads in long chains in proteins. In the body, proteins are made from individual amino acids. Therefore, nutritional supplementation with amino acids ensures that all cells, tissues, and organs in the body have a ready supply of amino acids. Ultimate Nutrition's Amino Gold contains all of the most important amino acids and branched chain amino acids for optimal nutritional support. These amino acids, of course, provide the body with the support to produce proteins. Amino acids, however, carry out other important functions. Nutritional supplementation keeps the amino acid supply in the bloodstream within healthy range. Under some circumstances, such as stress whether due to high-intensity exercise or other reasons, amino acids in the blood can be depleted so that important substances in the body cannot be produced in the right amount at the right time and in the right place. Branched chain amino acids (BCAA), valine, isoleucine and leucine, greatly aid detoxification and liver function. Hence, supplementation with amino acids is critical for restoration of appropriate amounts of amino acids and helps foster better health. Ultimate Nutrition's Amino Gold also contains sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine. These amino acids have been shown to help prolong life span. Typically, as people age, the amounts of these tow amino acids decrease considerably. Since dietary supplementation with cysteine prolonged the life span of guinea pigs, a report in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested that maintaining optimal levels of methionine and cysteine could potentially promote longevity in humans. In summary, Ultimate Nutrition's Amino Gold is a full-spectrum amino acid nutritional aid to help maintain optimal levels of amino acids in the bloodstream and promote good health at any stage of life.

Ultimate Nutrition's Vanadyl Sulfate 75Tabs $11.95 Fatigue Fighter Description: FATIGUE FIGHTER ULTIMATE NUTRTION� VANADYL SULFATE Get a Better Pump and Larger Muscles One of the most important aspects of muscle recovery after intense exercise is proper replenishment with micronutrients. "Micronutrients" is an umbrella term that includes vitamin and trace minerals. Minerals are inorganic nutrients; that is, nutrients that are not derived from living matter. Trace minerals, such as vanadium, are minerals that are present in foodstuffs at very low levels, and the human body requires them for its proper function in minuscule amounts. Vanadium fits this profile perfectly. The role of vanadium in human health and disease began to be taken seriously only in the late 1970s. The interest in vanadium was piqued in early 1980s when research showed that it helps to maintain sugar levels within the normal range in the blood. It is known that essential trace elements correct disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism. When people eat large amounts of carbohydrates, it can cause the sugar levels in the blood to increase. The large amounts of sugars are not cleared efficiently and promptly. This can, and does, happen with advancing years when sugar is not properly and efficiently metabolized. Increased sugar levels in the blood can chemically change the proteins in the blood so that they cannot carry out their functions. These modified proteins become "hot spots" for free radicals. Equally important, vanadium supplementation also helps athletes to maintain the levels of this essential trace mineral necessary for quick muscle recovery after high intensity workout. Ultimate Nutrition's Vanadyl Sulfate is the nutritional supplement manufactured with an eye on the unique health needs of both power athletes and the aging baby boomer. Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 1 Tablet Servings per Container: 75 Vanadyl Sulfate 10 mg * *Daily value not established.

Ultimate Nutrition's Vanadyl Sulfate 150Tabs $19.95 Help Get Larger Muscles Description: Get a Better Pump and Larger Muscles by Adding Vanadyl Sulfate to a Well Balanced Diet.One of the most important aspects of muscle recovery after intense exercise is proper replenishment with micronutrients. "Micronutrients" is an umbrella term that includes vitamins and trace minerals. Minerals are inorganic nutrients; that is, nutrients that are not derived from living matter. Trace minerals, such as vanadium, are minerals that are present in foodstuffs at very low levels, and the human body requires them for its proper function in minuscule amounts.

When people eat large amounts of carbohydrates, it can cause the sugar levels in the blood to increase. The large amounts of sugars are not cleared efficiently and promptly.

Increased sugar levels in the blood can chemically change the proteins in the blood so that they can not carry out their functions. These modified proteins become "hot spots" for free radicals. Therefore, it is necessary to keep sugar levels within the healthy range. Vanadium mimics insulin. That is, it controls the sugar levels in the blood. By regulating the sugar levels, the use of vanadium as a nutritional supplement not only helps one win the battle of the bulge but also keep adult-onset diabetes under control. Weight gain and age-related diabetes are quite common in the aging population.

Ultimate Nutrition's DHEA 50mg 100Caps $23.95 Helps Increase Muscle and Decrease Fat Description: INCREASE MUSCLE DECREASE FAT Ultimate Nutrition DHEA Helps Improve muscle mass, strength, increase energy, feelings of well-being, insulin sensitivity, and cognitive ability For many years DHEA or dehydroepiandosterone, was considered a "junk" hormone since researchers could not attribute to it any specific function. In the past few years, DHEA's image has been totally refurbished. It is the most abundant hormone in humans and other mammals and it plays a critical role in many different bodily functions. In fact, decrease in DHEA levels is being increasingly used as an indicator of reduced immune response, loss of libido and lack of a sense of general well being. Clinical studies over the past ten years suggest that DHEA may be the most critical single chemical in predicting someone's health. The body produces DHEA in the adrenal gland using cholesterol as the starting material. It is metabolized in androstenedione which is converted directly into testosterone. Like testosterone (estrogen in women) and other critical hormones, DHEA levels peak in the second or third decade of life, after which decline begins. Roughly one-half of DHEA is lost in men by age 40. Reduced levels of DHEA signify reduced amounts of androstenedione, testosterone and other steroid hormone metabolites. DHEA directly affects glucose metabolism. High blood glucose inhibits growth hormone (GH), and low blood glucose stimulates growth hormone. Stimulation of growth hormone is beneficial to DHEA because it suppresses insulin. By the same token, fasting increases both GH and DHEA. Thus, the importance of DHEA in intense exercise and endurance training can hardly be overemphasized. Clinical results show that oral supplementation with DHEA can have numerous beneficial effects: ? Feelings of both energy and well being ? Improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance ? Reduced risk of coronary artery diseases ? Lower obesity/waist-to-hip ratio ? Enhanced libido ? Reduced depression and increased cognitive ability Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 1 Capsule Servings per Container: 100 Dehydroepiandrosterone 50 mg Other Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, gelatin, cellulose, and magnesium stearate. Directions: One capsule daily with a meal or as recommended by a health care professional. Warnings: Not recommended for pregnant, nursing women or any person who is under 35 years of age.

Ultimate Nutrition's Arginine Ornithine Lysine 100Caps $21.95 Natural Hormone Increase Description: ? Natural Hormone Increase ? Ultimate Nutrition Arginine / Ornithine / Lysine ? Increase growth hormone to help maintain good health Hormones are central to human health and vitality. Hormonal balance in the body is essential to vibrancy, optimism and, indeed, the quality of life. In the hormonal network, no hormone plays a more critical role than human growth hormone. Growth hormone, as the name suggests, is necessary for growth in the formative years of puberty and teen years. After the human body has attained its adult size, its levels of growth hormone begin to dwindle ever so gradually. By the seventh decade of human life, the amount of growth hormone is reduced considerably. The benefits of growth hormone are not only for the elderly whose ability to produce it naturally reduces with age. Growth hormone is essential for people of all age groups, but especially for the athlete and those who exercise regularly. Stimulation of the body to produce growth hormone naturally can have immense health benefits both to maintain good health but also to fend against the aging process. Thus, induction of growth hormone could potentially help delay the onset of age-related frailties. For certain, there are no magic bullets to help the body produce growth hormone. The human body, however, is pliable enough to be primed to produce and secrete growth hormone in requisite amounts. Even though there is no substitute for regular exercise, which helps produce growth hormone, Ultimate Nutrition's Arginine Ornithine Lysine is designed to help produce growth hormone to ensure all its health benefits. These amino acids are known to induce growth hormone production. These amino acids function in a synchronized manner to block the growth hormone inhibitor, somatostatin. Whereas both arginine and lysine have been shown in clinical studies to induce growth hormone, their effect is potentiated in the presence of ornithine. Even though the body can produce ornithine from dietary arginine, which cannot be produced by the body. clinical studies have demonstrated that ornithine in combination with arginine and lysine works best in younger individuals, especially those on an active exercise regimen. This "stacking" of amino acids has many health benefits for people in all age groups. The importance of growth hormone can hardly be overemphasized. In its commitment to provide high-quality products to its customers, Ultimate Nutrition now has this amino acid cocktail to induce the secretion of growth hormone naturally. Arginine Ornithine Lysine is an obvious choice to promote health and wellbeing at all stages of adult life.
