Glyconutrition and Sports Nutrition and Free Radicals

Glyconutrition and Sports Nutrition and Free Radicals

Well respected cardio-vascular surgeon, Dr. Robert Gamble, has been one of the foremost exponents of the revolutionary discovery glyconutrition which has been hailed by medical scientists as “…one of the top technologies which will change our world.” Dr. Gamble offers his expertise without any remuneration and as a public service so that individuals may benefit from “…glyconutrition, one of the greatest health discoveries in modern medical history.”

These are just a few of Dr. Robert Gamble’s statements concerning glyconutrition.

Glyconutrition VITAL to sports nutrition …

Studies comparing marathon runners who did and did not take glyconutritional sports nutrition supplements were undertaken. The results were reported by the Proceedings of the Fisher Institute For Medical Research ( August 2003, vol.3, no.1).

The results “demonstrated strikingly different patterns".”Antioxidant protection appeared to be powerfully enhanced against free radicals with glyconutritional supplementation. Thus, the body was protected for several days after the marathon run.

However, when glyconutritional sports nutrition was NOT used, the damaging effects of the free radical burden appeared to remain in the body for about five days. Thus, the subject “consistently excreted higher concentrations of free radical byproducts…” as compared to that of the glyconutritional subject. It should be emphasized that the subject studied WAS TAKING other antioxidants, though not glyconutrition. Despite that fact, the above cited results were obtained.

That’s another way of saying that when glyconutritional supplements were not used, the free radical burden upon the body was not lifted. Antioxidant protection does appear to be (significantly) strengthened with glyconutritional sports nutrition. Such antioxidant protection appears to be of benefit for athletes overall, including training, stress, competition and dietary issues.

The glyconutrional revolution in sports nutrition and therapy is just beginning. More studies are being done. More results are coming in concerning free radicals and the capacity of the glyconutrition to boost antioxidant affect against free radicals.

Sports nutrition is about to see a new revolution…

Performance Enhancement Tests for Sports Performance: Significant Aerobic Performance Increases

“The human body’s maximal ability to use or consume oxygen for aerobic metabolism during exercise, better known as VO2max is an important predictor of athletic performance in endurance activities. The ventilatory threshold or nonlinear increase in ventilation that coincides with the beginning of carbohydrate-based anaerobic metabolism for energy as well as the increase of circulating levels of onset of blood lactate is considered by many exercise physiologists to be even better indicators of an endurance athlete’s capacity for aerobic work.”
In a field test (entitled PEXPFD) of male athletes, a performance glyconutrition drink was regularly administered vs. a placebo administration. The results showed the following:

1) Significant differences in time (minutes) to exhaustion were found between the placebo and the PEXPFD trials for ALL athletes involved.

2) Significant differences in ventilatory threshold existed between placebo and PEXPFD for all males tested.

3) Significant increases for VO2max and time to exhaustion for all groups were found.

4) Aerobic performance was significantly enhanced as a result of the administration and ingestion of the pre-performance glyconutrition drink for all the male athletes tested. Such performance was especially indicated in the VO2max, ventilatory threshold, and time to exhaustion (minutes) measurements.

The following information explains glyconutrition as the key to the immune system.

From his article “Glyconutrition and Our Immune System: “Status Quo”- [Latin for “the Mess We’re In”]

“You see, glyconutrition only develops in the last stages of fruit or vegetable ripening. Our harvesting techniques are “green”. They harvest long before ripening occurs so that food can be transported great distances.

All of which means, the primary glyconutrition factors so necessary for life and cell function are being “harvested out” by default, so to speak.

Chronic disease (immune system malfunction) has escalated in direct proportion as the use of modern transport and preservative methods have increased in use. Both are “pandemic”.

That is status quo. And that is our problem.

So are the pandemics – let’s call them immune system pandemics - that are costing us far more in chronic disease (immune system deficiencies) than the benefits we reap (no pun intended).”

The losses due to this “green harvesting” are enormous…and tragic:

Lack of glyconutrition

Immune system response failure

Lack of glyconutrition

Underactive immune system response

Overactive immune system response

Immune system response failure

Lack of glyconutrition

From his article “The Future Isn’t What It Used To Be”

We’ve all gotten used to the idea that certain maladies will be around for a while… Maladies such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis…and many more are expected to be around, in epidemic proportions, longer than we think we will be alive…and anyone who tries to tell us otherwise is looked upon with real skepticism. In fact, when anyone tries to tell us “there’s hope” for such maladies as, say, diabetes, we are more likely to believe that the person is trying to sell us something…and usually we are right.

But, what’s even worse is the fact that the “hope” we do receive is usually something like the following:

Studies show that people at high risk for type 2 diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of the disease by losing 5 to 7 percent of their body weight. You can do it by eating healthier and getting 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week. In other words: you don't have to knock yourself out to prevent diabetes. The key is: small steps that lead to big rewards. Learn more about your risk for developing type 2 diabetes and the small steps you can take to delay or prevent the disease and live a long, healthy life.

Of course, this is good advice. No denying it. As a medical doctor, I had to dispense advice like this for years, for diabetes and other conditions. Funny, as good as it is, I NEVER saw anyone become ecstatic, do cartwheels or celebrate because they had just received such counsel. Why? BECAUSE WHAT WE REALLY WANT FROM THE MEDICAL WORLD IS A CURE!

And why not? It just doesn’t seem fair that the only real answer to conditions like diabetes or obesity is the “hope” that we stop eating almost everything we enjoy, sweat till we drop, “pop” prescription pills ‘till we’re bloated, and think positive …forever.

From his article “Bird Flu and Your Immune System: Don’t leave home without it.

Let that one sink in too: bird flu is not killing those birds so readily which have strong immune systems. Hum…bird flu and immune systems…Could be we have something here.

But, what if the bird flu (H5N1) makes the jump to human pandemic potential? Is there a solution? Yes. There is one. Glyconutrition. If that sounds too good to be true, then consider this testimony:

“In instances of unusual, epidemic, or virulent infectious agent exposure, glyconutrient supplementation has been found effective for enhancing general immune functions and defense. When supplied at higher levels than available in nature, sugars needed for cellular synthesis can take innate defense systems to a MUCH HIGHER LEVEL THAT ARE EFFECTIVE AGAINST INFECTIOUS AGENTS.”

From his article “Antioxidants, Free Radicals and Sports Nutrition”

Sports nutrition is a vast industry with emphasis on optimizing PERFORMANCE. Off hand, I can think of quite a few categories involving sports nutrition:

So far, no surprises!

Well, here’s one for you. Did you know when you exercise intensively you INCREASE the free radical burden in your body? If you’re a serious sports enthusiast, you should know that.

But…the real news is what science is now finding out about that free radical burden of yours. You should pay close attention here.

Everyone of us has, what may be called, our antioxidant protective capacity. That means our bodies normally utilize antioxidants to protect us against the harmful impact of free radicals.

Doctor Gamble speaks of Free Radicals and the necessity of Glyconutrition in Sports Nutrition

Take a minute with Dr. Robert Gamble in the above audio link. Doctor Gamble is retired from a very successful medical/surgical career spanning three decades. He is active in researching medical issues such as glyconutrition… and offers his insights for public benefit.

The impact of antioxidants is boosted by glyconutrients to offset free radicals in your body…and, as a result of your athletic exertions.

Antioxidant capacity must be provided in your sports nutrition regimen or you could be “robbing Peter to pay Paul” with your workouts. As you will see, without a glyconutrional presence in your sports nutrition, the healthful gains made by your physical workouts will be offset by your own free radical burden.

Free radicals, sports and sports nutrition

Free radicals are those chemical species which contain one or more unpaired electrons, capable of independent existence. They form in the body due to a variety of reasons as offshoots of cellular activity or as products introduced to the body from the outside.

As an analogy, think of running a car engine as the cellular production
and the car emissions a the free radical production. The engine produces products which cannot stay inside the car without further damage. They simply must be neutralized and expelled.

Free radicals form and cause damage by reacting with many substances in your body. It is estimated that upwards of 200,000 free radical attacks occur in our bodies daily.

When free radical damage is done, the body can remove the compounds formed by its cellular repair system. However, if the body cannot handle the free radicals (with antioxidants for example), nor remove the compounds, then disease can be the result.

Contrary to popular opinion, free radicals do not circulate throughout the body. The half-life of most free radicals varies in a range of a few nanoseconds to about 7 seconds duration. That means they will react within the “neighborhood” (a few Angstroms or microns near where the increase in free radicals occurred) …organs, connective tissue, circulatory or nerve tissue, bone or lymphatic material are all candidates for free radical attack.

Wherever free radicals form, they will damage the surrounding areas, unless prevented by the body…So the body does NOT have the luxury of just filtering away any circulatory fluids to find the free radicals. The body’s defense systems must be…well…fairly omnipresent to neutralize the effects of free radicals. The antioxidant protective system must be healthy.

Since they are highly reactive substances, they react with all sorts of cell elements readily. But, when they do react with your body cells, they can damage the cells and even kill them. Often, the damage from free radicals can CHANGE the cellular structure enough to cause DISEASE such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and a host of others.

The type of disease that occurs is dependent upon which of the free radical defenses in the body weren’t functioning properly and where the free radical attacks occur.

The body has pretty sophisticated antioxidant defense systems. But, the body CAN get overwhelmed in its antioxidant protections against such free radicals…

Indeed, unless antioxidant enhanced sports nutrition (with glyconutrients) are used to offset the increased free radical burden, the BODY will suffer as a result of intensive sports training, stress, and competition.

Sports nutrition is about to see a new revolution…

Better still. I believe that it is quite probable that, with glyconutrition, sports PERFORMANCE is about to see a revolution in all fields.
