-
Apple cider vinegar: a fermented product made by combining apple juice with live bacteria in the form of yeast. Apple cider vinegar contains beneficial enzymes and antioxidants such as acetic acid and malic acid. These balance the PH level within the body – establishing a healthy ratio of acid to alkalinity – which nourishes the liver and other organs within the digestive tract, helping cleanse the body. Athletes are prone to reduced digestive enzymes, as a result of increased cortisol in the body that shunts enzyme production. Improving digestive function means improved absorption of all the nutrients you’re eating & subsequently, improved functioning of ALL systems that promote growth and performance.
-
Cod: not only a great source of omega 3 fats to help reduce inflammation in the body (that means improved recovery), in just 4 oz of cod you’ll get over 100% of your daily needs for vitamin B12, a crucial co-factor in producing red blood cells that carry our oxygen to our working muscles.
-
After B12, the next two most abundant nutrients you’ll find in cod fish are iodine and selenium – both of which are needed to produce thyroid hormones. Your thyroid controls your body’s metabolism and growth, and because of how it’s influenced by the adrenals during high-load or stressed states, supporting it is a smart nutritional strategy.
