Improve Athletic Performance and Prevent Injuries

Nutrition and mineral deficiencies have a direct impact on health, athletic performance and are a leading cause of injuries.   Deficiencies accelerate the aging process and decrease athletic performance by slowing and breaking down biological systems including bone and joints.  For example a B6 deficiency, common in female athletes, affects digestion of fatty acids, energy levels, nervous system function and gall bladder health, often resulting in weight gain and hormone imbalances.  Athletes with digestive problems typically also have immune stress because 70 percent of the immune system is in the gut.  Immune stress leads to allergies which slow an athlete down.  Correcting digestive imbalances by improving the function of the digestive system often improving immune function.

Live Well works with high performance and recreational athletes of all ages to help them achieve optimal athletic performance through nutrition and detoxification.  We identify the nutritional or detoxification nutrients needed to help you attain your  health and performance goals.  Our programs will maximize your:

• Strength

Minerals are the foundation of great health and athletic performance.  You can test and monitor your mineral balance with a simple pH urine test.  This is the first step to maximizing health and performance.

Over 95 percent of all athletes we work with are mineral deficient and have some other nutritional deficiency.  Minerals are essential for bone, muscle, joint and neurological function and an alkaline environment.  Minerals provide the electric charge to activate muscle and nerve cells.  They also provide the biochemical environment for cellular health and oxygen availability to produce  adenosine triphosphate, ATP. ATP is the cellular energy essential for attaining peak performance.

Symptoms of chronic mineral deficiencies include:

• Muscle aches
• Joint instability
• Bone loss/spurs
• Arthritis
• Fatigue
• Muscular/skeletal injuries
• Dental problems
• Cataracts
• Atherosclerosis

Minerals must be present for red blood cells to deliver oxygen to the cell for aerobic respiration to take place.  In aerobic respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose which is the energy source needed for endurance athletes like tennis players.  If oxygen is not present, the cell cannot maximize cellular energy output. This is measured by ATP output.  In anaerobic glycolysis (without oxygen) 2 ATP per glucose molecule are produced; in aerobic respiration (with oxygen) 32 ATP per glucose are produced.  Without ATP you are out of gas.

Max Minerals = Max Energy = Max Performance = Max Health
