Gregory Chandler - Brown Seaweed Extract as a fat fighter

Seaweed is a great food for health. An extract of brown seaweed, known as fucoxanthin, helps reduce body fat. It works by making adult fat, known as white fat, act more like brown fat. Brown fat is found predominantly in infants. Brown fat's primary job is to heat the body, a function it achieves by burning other forms of fat.

Gregory Chandler - BLACK RICE: GET IN THE BLACK

In our finances, we seek to get in the black. Now is the time to get in the black with your rice.

Black rice is a great source of fiber. Black rice has traditionally been called the "forbidden rice"
in China because only the emperors of China were allowed to eat it.

Black rice is loaded with an amount of antioxidants that rivals that found in blueberries.

When eating rice, get away from the white rice. When eating rice, get in the black.

Gregory Chandler - Take Flaxseed and Beat Prostate Cancer

Flaxseed is on the verge of becoming the next "power food" in health and bodybuilding circles, according to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center researchers. The researchers found that flaxseed may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Cancer cells migrate by attaching onto other cells. The omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed keep cells from binding together and attaching to blood vessels.

To reap the health benefits of flaxseed, you can take a flaxseed supplement or sprinkle a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds or flaxseed oil into your protein shake, yogurt or oatmeal.

I often take flaxseed in capsule form right before bed along with some casein protein.

Gregory Chandler - Glutamine for Fatigue Relief

Hard training creates a buildup in lactic acid. This acidic environment leads to muscle fatigue. A study conducted at Louisiana State University School of Medicine suggests that glutamine may help you overcome lactic acid accumulation.

The scientists at Louisiana State University discovered that subjects who consumed 2 grams of glutamine had higher blood levels of bicarbonate 90 minutes after intake. (Bicarbonate is a chemical buffer that keeps the pH of the blood from becoming too acidic.) In practice then, gultamine supplementation may lessen the "burn" incurred by higher levels of lactic acid accumulation, helping power you up that mountain or pound out more reps per set to stimulate muscle growth. It is also important to note that protein breakdown is accelerated under acidic conditions, so dampening acidity impedes muscle loss. The same study also reported higher circulating levels of growth hormones induced by glutamine supplementation, another bodybuilding bonus.

Further proving that glutamine may keep your engines revved longer, a 2008 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reported that soccer players who were given glutamine reduced their accumulation of blood ammonia during prolonged, strenuous exercise. Ammonia is an acidic compound produced when amino acids are used to generate energy, and its buildup can provoke exercise fatigue. Whether heading to the field or the gym, glutamine is a good supplement to use to combat fatigue.

Gregory Chandler - Stinging Nettle Root

Stinging nettle root, or Urtica dioica, is a type of nettle that grows mainly in South America.
It works to boost testosterone levels through a few different mechanisms. One way it works is by keeping testosterone free from sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Stinging nettle root also helps to prevent the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Preventing this conversion means you have more testosterone available.

It is recommended that one take 100 to 500 mg of stinging nettle root extract two or three times per day on an empty stomach. There is no need to cycle this supplement.
