G'day Beereezrts I'm very much into Sports Nutrition & have a very good understanding on the issue.
People take me for a dummy when I wrap there brains "I just wanna see how smart they are with there knowledge"
as there are some really smart people out there, and yet some that think they are smart on Nutrition but are not!
I very interested on what other people have to say on Baking Soda as I'm interested on your opinion, I'm learning to.
The Real-Life Diet of Laird Hamilton, Surf Icon and Nutrition Nerd, drinks this for breakfast "baking soda purges," which is not as industrial-severe as it sounds, but rather starting the day off drinking dissolved baking soda in water. (There's research to suggest that baking soda can prevent the build-up of lactic acid in muscles).

Baking soda is great for nutrition it really gives crack that extra pop and sizzle
Nothing like a fresh hit of some good local organic single origin crack
Tried it, shut through the the eye of a needleIt raises the alkalinity in the blood stream. Beetroot does the same thing without the nasty side effects. Personally I reckon supplements are a crock of ****. Funny on the Goldy their are more sup stores than macccas. It's pretty ****** simple eat a well balanced diet and stay away from crap food. Their has been never ending dribble about this diet and that diet, One minute fats good, next not, carb loading good then bad. Eat like a cave man ect ect. Read a storey once of a bloke who only ate peanut butter sandwiches, lived to a ripe old age
Eskimos only eat meat and live long healthy lives.
He is wrong about limiting his fruit intake.
Fruit is broken down to glucose.
You need glucose, the simplest form of carbohydrates, to provide energy to every cell in your body. Because glucose is your body's main energy source, most of your calories need to come from carbohydrates
If he is doing long sustained amounts of exercise why would you want to limit the amount of sugar intake
On the baking soda idea I have read that track athletes like 200/400m/800m get onto this to try eliminate the lactic acid build up while competing.
I'll try find where I read it on the net was some time ago now
It's just like balancing the ph in your poolmany acidic foods are converted to alkaline by your body.i went to a seminar once where the guy was saying cancer can't survive in an alkaline body, don't know weather that is true but a pretty smart dude once said let food be thy medicine. My daughter is total vegan and she's pretty healthy. I eat heaps of veggies and have lots of spices and herbs in my meals. Another really smart dude said herbs and spices are very hardy plants, make sense they would be good to eat. If you want to test weather you ate to acidic or alkaline a cheap way is to buy the simple pool test strips, or pay 30 bucks for the ones at the chemist. Thing is like plants some thrive in alkaline soils some in more acidic soils, same with us I would say. I think everything else being equal, diet is the number One factor in health, or performance. Blows my mind when I see KFC and macccas drive through chock full every night, feed your kids that crap on a regular basis and you are slowly killing them.
Actually nearing the end of an early childhood degree, there are three elements to health and nutrition and Andy R is onto something with the bananas. Children need no extra nutrition supplements or powdered formulas except the milk from their mother. Your health is based on your ancestary, health and also your environment. If you lived on a pacific island and removed yourself from sickness and diseases your health would increase substantially. Why because you limit your exposure to the herd.
Your food also used to be considered a constant factor but with globalisation things are changing.
read a good book natural born heroes , about stories from the war where people showed miraculous feats of endurance on very poor diets. Apparently they made good use of the bodies fascial network to conserve energy , been reading a bit about it lately although most of it is over my head. It is basically using the bodies fascia as a rebound or spring mechanism , much like kangaroos do and many other animals. A lot of normal training works the fascia obviously but a lot doesn't. Its also an interesting adjunct to nutrition. Ive been doing a lot of body weight and ballistic type training for a few months and I'm doing stuff now I could only do in my twenties. Where really moving forward with training ideas , expecially strength training. Their is gym strength and real world strength.If any one else is trying different fitness approaches Id like to hear your experiences.
I feel its all about a balanced diet ...banana have great potassium ,capsicum great VC.meat and eggs our protein .
but we need Calcium to be able to use all these nutrient s ...it is a trucker of all minerals and vitamins. Through the body .And helps the body use them
same as all plants .
calcium is found in nuts ,cheese milk ..etc...for those who don't know .
If you only eat one thing your body with crave for others (still feel hungry)and you wont get the nutrition out of one thing with out the other .
If you eat to much of anything like fruit it will go straight through you because it can't process it ,with out the other Nutrients Or minerals.
Doctor Karl on JJJ is against or doesn't recommend blending because it goes through you to fast and your digestive system can't get the vitimans and minerals out of your food in time .And he said its a waste .chew ..
yes cancer cells don't live in a high alkaline body it destroys them ...if you are high in acid you will have problems...feel sheet...and no energy .
exercise and eat right ..Not to much beer
Teatrea have you read the "China study" or has your daughter? Most vegans have or no about it.
Really really good read.
