I don't know what field you're in, but - LISTEN TO HIM!!!
In regards to the surgery I would require, there are far more negative results than positive. Some people have even experienced worse symptoms than before. Trust me, I know I need to get it fixed.
Listen, and I hope this comes across the right way.
My wife is a nurse and one of the things she said last night was to be careful beet juice can lower your blood pressure.
No, you listen, I have a deep respect for you and your opinion. I know it’s all coming from a good place. I have seen 4 different doctors for this issue, each one telling me something different. Aside from the time and money wasted, I get frustrated with the lack of caring. I know I just haven’t found the right one, and I will continue my search because you are getting a little too serious. I just came in here trying to search for a way to tape up my toes.
Beet Juice: How Much and When?
I think I'm supposed to laugh at this. Especially that last line.
I thought the same thing earlier today.
—Dietary supplementation with beetroot juice (BR), containing approximately 5– 8 mmol inorganic nitrate (NO3 ), increases plasma nitrite concentration ([NO2 ]), reduces blood pressure, and may positively influence the physiological responses to exercise.Beet Juice: How Much and When?
I should be getting my shots today. Gonna take 1-2 before my 10-miler on Saturday, and I'll probably try it again before my workout next Wednesday. Will report back.
ETA: Just in case any of you is smart enough to read the actual study...
Was just itching to run fast today. Well a fast for a 240 lb overweight old dude. Shouldn't have done this, but knocked 2:05 off that number above for a 24:40. Again this was treadmill so I wouldn't sniff that outside.
I forgot to answer this. After the race is fine with me.The Iguana said:
BTW, this is the same mechanism as ED drugs. So you could take a Viagra and probably get the same benefits to race.tri-man 47 said:—Dietary supplementation with beetroot juice (BR), containing approximately 5– 8 mmol inorganic nitrate (NO3 ), increases plasma nitrite concentration ([NO2 ]), reduces blood pressure, and may positively influence the physiological responses to exercise.
To summarize before y'all fall asleep: This s###'s the real deal for exercise.
However, the dose-response relationship between the volume of BR ingested and the physiological effects invoked has not been investigated.
More of this beetroot-s### is better than less, but we're not exactly sure why that is yet. Yeah, more research for us!
In a balanced crossover design, 10 healthy men ingested 70, 140, or 280 ml concentrated BR (containing 4.2, 8.4, and 16.8 mmol NO3 , respectively) or no supplement to establish the effects of BR on resting plasma [NO3 ] and [NO2 ] over 24 h.
We talked 10 healthy dudes into drinking this s### to see what would happen.
Subsequently, on six separate occasions, 10 subjects completed moderate-intensity and severe-intensity cycle exercise tests, 2.5 h postingestion of 70, 140, and 280 ml BR or NO3 -depleted BR as placebo (PL).
So they drank it, then worked out. BMF's, we're telling ya ...BMFs!
Following acute BR ingestion, plasma [NO2 ] increased in a dose-dependent manner, with the peak changes occurring at approximately 2–3 h. Compared with PL, 70 ml BR did not alter the physiological responses to exercise.
After hoisting a few, good stuff in their blood increased (after two or three hours; had to sit and listen to them talk and brag during that time ...ugh). The guys that took the fake stuff didn't show improvement ...just red piss. Ha!
However, 140 and 280 ml BR reduced the steady-state oxygen (O2) uptake during moderate intensity exercise by 1.7% (P 0.06) and 3.0% (P 0.05), whereas time-to-task failure was extended by 14% and 12% (both P 0.05), respectively, compared with PL.
The more beetroot s###, the better they performed!
The results indicate that whereas plasma [NO2 ] and the O2 cost of moderate-intensity exercise are altered dose dependently with NO3 -rich BR, there is no additional improvement in exercise tolerance after ingesting BR containing 16.8 compared with 8.4 mmol NO3 .
At some point, drinking more didn't mean jack.
These findings have important implications for the use of BR to enhance cardiovascular health and exercise performance in young adults
This ain't some stupid academic study. We really learned something here! You're welcome in advance.
Thanks for checking in. I’ve got the flu and trying to recover. Took Tuesday as a scheduled (healthy) rest day so I could knock out my Wednesday MP run. Woke up at 2 am Wednesday to vomiting and 104 degree temp.pbm107 said:
That sucks but it is better news than being injured. You'll bounce back quickly from this.
Wife is out buying beet juice as we speak. And I'm going to load up on caffeine beforehand too!
Here it is....Well the 10k I have been targeting for a year is this Saturday. I had hoped to be in slightly better condition but all in all I think about as good as I could have done. Have been very lucky not to get sick nor have any major ailments to slow down training. My lower back started bothering me last week after my 8 mile run so I had to change my plan this week but you do what you can. Seeing all of your efforts listed both here and on strava help with motivation. A whole lot of mornings I did not want to get up at 4:00 and go for a run but made myself do it. I can’t even imagine running in the conditions so many of you do. Keep up the awesome work everyone
I've got the double going on over here! Hamstring still not right and after being sick for a month (off and on) with cold/sinus stuff it turned in to walking pneumonia.
weekend pushing 50 maybe.
