Multivitamin Dilemma Solved

Hi guys,

Chris here to talk a little about multivitamins. I have friends ask me all of the time what multivitamin supplement they should use. I start by giving them the standard disclaimer about how I'm not a doctor and know almost zero about the complex bio-chemical reactions that occur in the human body, and how those reactions manifest within the framework of their unique genetic code.

With that being said, here is what I do know. Most vitamin supplements are completely worthless. I once read an article that quoted a public works employee who had worked in the sewer for over 20 years and he said that there are huge mounds of undigested One-a-day type vitamin supplement capsules accumulating down there. I can't tell you why they don't digest because, I'm not a doctor. If you really want to know I'm sure Dr. Mercola http://www.drmercola.com/ or Dr. Weil http://www.drweil.com/ will be able to tell you all you ever wanted to know if you visit their sites. What I can tell you, is that if they don't digest, then you are not getting any nutritional benefit.

In a perfect world we would all eat a balanced healthy organic diet that supplied all of the nutrients we need for optimal metabolic function. Sadly this is not the case. In most instances we need additional enzymes, vitamins, and minerals to make up for the lack of them in our standard American diet (SAD).

The next best thing to a perfectly balanced diet

The next best thing to eating a balanced diet of whole, natural, organic foods is to take a supplement that is made from whole, natural, organic foods. Enter Vitamineral Green. I have been taking Vitamineral Green for about 7 years now and it is fantastic. Two tablespoons in my morning smoothie and I'm done for the day.
This wonderful supplement is 100% real food. It is gluten free, yeast free and is not diluted in any way by junk foods or fillers. It contains a full spectrum of naturally occurring absorbable and non-toxic vitamins, minerals, all the essential amino acids for protein synthesis, antioxidants, chlorophyll, soluble and insoluble fibers, phytonutrients and more.

I have found over the years that this supplement gives me more energy and as a bonus, it enhances regularity.

The best part is, its not a drug! Vitamineral Green is made from real whole foods. If you ate the entire bottle in one sitting, the worst thing that would happen is you would spend a couple of hours on the toilet.

You can pick up a bottle at a local health foods store or any Whole Foods location. You'll be glad you did.

Smokin' Joints

Hi Guys,

Chris here to talk a little about stiff and creaky joints. And I bet you thought this was going to be a Cheech and Chong tribute post huh?

This is a super simple fix that made my joints feel 1oo% better literally overnight. Go out and pick up a Glucosamine suppliment at your nearest health food store. I like Jarrow formulas Glucosamine+Chondroitin+MSM with Manganese and Vitamin C.

Don't ask me how it works, you can get that information from Dr. Weil's site. All I know is when I open up 4 capsules into my morning or evening smoothie, my joints thank me all day long.

Try it, it works.

Building Muscle After Your Workout

Hi Guys,

Chris here to talk a little about post-workout nutrition. Immediately after a grueling weight lifting session, you have a brief window of time where your body actually accelerates its normal growth and repair cycle. According to nutrition experts this period peaks within the first 30 minutes and tapers off over the course of the next 30 minutes. In other words, you have under an hour to get some good quality protein and carbs in your system when it can be utilized most efficiently to help you build quality lean muscle.

OK so I'll just pack a sandwich in my gym bag and eat it on the way home right? Not so fast. Whole foods like Tuna, hard boiled eggs and turkey, are great sources of lean protein but they take time to digest. By the time your digestive system has had a chance to work its way through your meal, and break it down into small enough bio available particles to be useful to your muscles, this magical window of opportunity will be over.

The trick is to consume a source of protein that will digest quickly and provide your body with the building blocks of new muscle growth. Enter Whey protein powder. A good shake with Whey protein will digest quickly, is easy to prepare and to consume. A side benefit is that it tastes great. For some carbs to restore depleted muscle glycogen, you can add fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, or bananas to the mix. I also like to mix it up a bit and use almond milk or rice milk instead of water to add a little additional flavor and thickness to the smoothie. Sometimes I just eat an apple with the protein shake to make up for the carbs. Although the Apple is technically a whole food, since it is a simple sugar it is easily digestible and becomes available relatively quickly to the body for post workout recuperation.

Here's how I do it:

I have about 10 shaker bottles with lids. When I leave for the gym I put 3 scoops of Whey protein powder (about 51 grams of protein) in one shaker bottle and seal the lid. I also toss an Apple and a bottle of water into my gym bag. After my workout when I get back to my car, I pull the shaker bottle out of my gym bag, pour the remaining water from my bottle into the shaker, shake it up and enjoy it along with the apple on my way home. Or, sometimes when I'm pressed for time I will simply wait until I get home to make a smoothie in the blender.
