REDONDO BEACH BOOT CAMP

I am a big fan of superfoods, as many of my clients and students already know. I read allot about anti-oxidents being good for recovery from hard workouts.

In the late 1980s and throughtout the 90s the buzz was using branch chain amino acids and, or protein drinks for recovery. Then in the 2000s, I began to here people talk about glutamine for recovery. Over the years I have tried many of the popular supplements for health, muscle gain, strength, and fat-loss. Most work to some degree but over the last 2 years, I have discovered that nothing beats eating as many superfoods as possible. Eventhough we all know this, most of us get caught up in the quick fixes and latest new miracle drinks and pills. Many work well but may not be worth the money when you can get the best results from real food.

Here is something that I have been trying for the last few weeks. I bought a mini juicer at Bed Bath and Beyond for less than $50, the Magic Bullet. What I like about it is that it is such a convient way to get fruit and vegetables. You also blend up the whole fruit or veggi so you get all the fiber and good stuff that you don’t get with regular juices. Also, do not be fooled about all the healthy juices. Many people will say that you want to avoid any of the juices that are not fresh. Some even say that juice from concentrate may not be as healthy as we are led to believe. The best way is to eat or drink a variety of fruit and vegetables from all the colors.
