It has been recently shown that cod protein can modulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. We therefore postulated that it may regulate muscle regeneration and promote muscle mass recovery. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary cod protein on skeletal muscle ...
You have the calorie "budget" to fit in lots of vitamins, protein, fiber, and other useful nutrients. Every pound of muscle you gain will burn an extra 10 or so calories at rest each day—so if you gain 10 pounds of muscle over the course of a few years’ strength training, you’...
building muscle requires the consumption of dietary protein. Knowing this, it’s long been believed that animal-based proteins including meat and dairy are the best for building quads of steel because they supply a superior amino acid profile and have higher digestibility.But new...
heavily influence which muscle fibers we have more of. The ACTN3 gene helps create a protein that is found in fast-twitch muscle fibers, for example, while a genotype known as 577XX can occur across both genes, reducing fast-twitch muscle fibers and increasing slow-twitch fibers. On...
understand that it is merely a tool to help you reach an optimal protein count for the day, and without an overall diet that gives your body more energy than it expands (puts you above maintenance), it will not be very useful if you are using it with the goal of putting on muscle. ...
Nutrition: Make sure you get enough nutrients to feed your tired muscles and replenish your energy stores. A good balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates is important. In general, protein helps with muscle repair, and carbohydrates help replenish energy stores afteraerobic exercise. Be sure to...
At a loss, I decided to take a test for nutrient deficiencies and found out that I was depleted of thiamine. A few days after starting a thiamine supplement, my energy levels began to bounce back, and I felt great! Could thiamine be the missing link to your thyroid fatigue?
I have a 12 week online program called Hashimoto’s Self-Management Program, that covers all of the strategies that I go through with my one-on-one clients, in a self-paced format, so that participants have access to all of the things I’ve learned about Hashimoto’s without having to ...
Bro #1: “Yeah bro, can’t you tell I lost weight? I put on like 10 pounds of muscle too.” Bro #2: “Crazy how I weigh less, but I definitely put on some muscle.” I could keep going, but you get the point. Lose fat, gain muscle – at the same time. How many supplements...
Working out too hard for too long can causerhabdomyolysis, a condition in which damaged muscle tissue breaks down very fast. This dumps substances into your blood that can hurt your kidneys and make them fail. Don’t overdo it. Build up your workouts gradually – don’t suddenly make them ...
