Antiaging Wellness Blog

I came across this very good video by triathlete Ben Greenfield on the nutritional requirements for athletes training for the Iron Man. As most of you would know, the Iron Man is the elite fitness event in the triathlon circuit. Whilst most of you will not be training for such an event, you are very likely to be preparing for a hiking holiday, skiing holiday, or other event requiring endurance. Quite frankly, even looking after children during the holidays can be an endurance test to some!!

During preparation for such an event, the body must be correctly nourished to build muscle, not fat, and to ensure that it receives sufficient antioxidants and anti-inflammatories to aid muscle building and damage to joints and muscles - all characteristics we try to achieve with an antiaging nutrition and fitness program.

I urge you to take a look – you can download a powerpoint slide deck to follow along – as the slides in the video are not easy to see, but Ben makes a great job of talking to each point.
