GREGORY CHANDLER ON HARVARD HYPERTENSION STUDY

More than 50% of individuals over the age of 40 are at risk for hypertension. Blueberries and strawberries may help prevent hypertension.

In a recent Harvard University study, people who consumed the most anthocyanins had a 12% lower risk of developing hypertension than those who consumed the least amount of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are found in high amounts in blueberries and strawberries.

Gregory Chandler - Beet Root Juice

A new study suggests that beet root juice can improve athletic performance. Researchers had cyclists take part in two separate 4K time trials. Before one 4K time trial the cyclists consumed beet juice. The other time trials were without beet juice consumption.

The results were that the cyclists completed the trials an average of 48 seconds, or 2.7% faster, after drinking beet juice.

The study concludes that the beet juice provides nitrates that boost athletic performance.

GREGORY CHANDLER - HUPERZINE

Huperzine extract is sourced from club moss. Huperzine has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Many opine that huperzine prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine in the brain. This process is thought to keep one's mind focused and memory strong.

The limited research on huperzine shows mixed results. Until more research is conducted,
it will not be known if huperzine is of any substantial benefit.

Gregory Chandler - Caffeine

According to research, caffeine can boost one's workout performance. This is the finding in a study published in the January 2011 issue of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

On two laboratory visits, 13 moderately trained male subjects performed bench press repetitions to failure at 60 percent of their one-rep maximum. On one visit, they ingested caffeine, and on the other visit they took a placebo. Researchers found that subjects completed significantly greater weight when using caffeine. The caffeine group also had higher "mood state scores" for "vigor" and lower scores for "fatigue."

Gregory Chandler - Olive Oil

Many individuals do not realize that olive oil--a fat--is also a fat burner. Olive oil helps burn fat, optimize the body's metabolism, and may lessen oxidative stress on the heart. These findings are published in the October 2010 issue of Nutrition Journal. The researches opine that olive oil's phenolic compounds, specifically oleuropein and caffeic acid, may be responsible for these benefits.
