Fact Friday! NADH for Athletes!

Today's fact Friday is all about you athletes out there. We did a post earlier in the week about Olympian Shevon Stoddart, she takes Co-E1 Mojo for energy and muscle recovery. Did you know that NADH is essential for giving athletes their clean energy and a natural push. 

NADH is a co-enzyme, which simply means it helps other enzymes carry out biological functions. It is considered by many researchers and scientists to be the most important co-enzyme in humans. We have mentioned here on the blog numerous ways that NADH supplementation can improve function in humans, but for this weeks fact Friday we will highlight its effects on athletic performance. 

NADH and Cognitive Ability (Being athletically smart).

Cognitive function and athletic performance’s relationship is extremely underestimated. One third of all the energy produced in our body is used up by our brain. An energy deficiency is first realized in the brain with symptoms such as lack of concentration and alertness, or mental fog. 

How does NADH provide the brain with more energy? 

The energy within our bodies is produced when hydrogen and oxygen react to form water and energy. NADH is the biological form of hydrogen present in our cells and oxygen comes from the air we breathe. The energy produced from this reaction is stored as a chemical compound, ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

If you had a deficiency in oxygen there would be major problems, well NADH is the other side of that equation: No oxygen- no ATP. No hydrogen- no ATP. No ATP- no energy. Pretty simple right! 

NADH and Athletic Performance 

Researchers have been looking at NADH's  applications for athletic performance. Physiologic functions boosted by NADH could have beneficial effects for athletes. Research conducted by Birkmayer and colleagues (Birkmayer, International Journal of Sports Medicine 1996) on competitive athletes does indicate that NADH enhances work capacity. Researchers measured reaction times, physical performance and performance quality in 17 competitive cyclists and long-distance runners. Physical performance was measured on a bicycle ergometer. Performance quality was determined by measurements of continuous attention.

Athletes underwent these tests both before and after taking 5 mg of NADH before breakfast each morning for four weeks. During the test period, subjects kept constant the frequency and intensity of their training and exercise program as well as lifestyle factors. After four weeks of NADH supplementation, the athletes experienced significantly less scattering of reaction times-it dropped by 10 percent in five athletes, 10 to 20 percent in eight athletes, and more than 20 percent in three athletes. Reaction time overall improved considerably in 16 out of the 17 subjects.

. For two athletes, the maximum work performance (work at max per kg/body weight) increased by more than 10 percent, with another seven showing increases of up to 10 percent. Similar improvements were made in maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max/kg).

Researchers hypothesized that improved reaction times may have resulted from prior NADH deficiency in some athletes or an increase in dopamine production that led to increased alertness and vigilance. The latter explanation is further supported by studies wherein NADH supplementation increased dopamine production in rats. The researchers went on to say that stimulation of cellular ATP production by NADH may have enhanced, athletic performance- more NADH a cell has available, the more energy it can produce. Conversely, an NADH deficiency results in reduced strength, power and performance. 

In addition to improving athletic performance via ATP production NAHD has also been shown to increase L-Dopa production and Nitric Oxide production.

Why do care if NADH increases L-Dopa production? 

Numerous reasons- but in this conversation it is specifically utilized to stimulate Growth Hormone release from the pituitary gland. 

NADH triggers the activation of tyrosine-hydroxylase. Tyrosine hydroxylase or tyrosine 3-monooxygenase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the amino acid L-Tyrosine (an ingredient in Cabergolean) to L-Dopa. L-Dopa has been shown in numerous studies to be an effective compound for the stimulation of GH release by the pituitary gland. Growth Hormone has been shown in numerous studies to (among other functions) stimulate IGF production, which in turn creates new muscle cells through differentiation and proliferation.

Athletes know that Nitric Oxide is a valuable part of their success because it’s responsible for blood flow, oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, muscle velocity, power output, and muscle growth.

Increasing Nitric Oxide levels can deliver continuous muscle benefits such as:

· Faster gains in lean mass

· Greater strength

· Providing better muscle recovery

· Increasing endurance

Secretly Healthy!

With so many snacks in the world today it is hard to have the will power to always go with the healthy options. Don't be discouraged, it happens to everyone, but you can still win by modifying your recipes. Here are some tips on how to still eat what you love, but with a healthy twist that will secretly make them better for you and your family! 

1.Guac-KALE-mole! 

You might have seen this popping up in whole foods stores and recipes online and we love it! All you need to do is take your favorite guacamole recipe and cut it in half so you don't have as big of a portion size. Then you take kale leaves, with stems removed, and finely chop about 3 leaves and add it into the guacamole, you wont even taste the difference and it is now packed with the amazing health benefits kale provides. 

2. Portobello Burgers

If you are a fan of mushrooms your are gonna love this one. If you have heard of or wanted to participate in the meatless Monday movement this is a great one! You put the same seasonings as you would a hamburger patty, and you grill it up just the same. The mushroom gets charred and juicy and delicious! Pile it high with veggies and goat cheese and you wont even notice there is no meat! 

3. No Mayo Tuna Salad

Tuna is a great lunch but it can also be a great snack. Next time you are wanting some dip or a tuna fish sandwich ditch the mayo. There are almost one hundred calories in ONE tablespoon of mayonnaise and most use a lot more than a tablespoon. Cut the calories by instead using mustard, balsamic vinegar, or plain Greek yogurt. Add pickles, chilies, tomatoes, onions and whatever else you like! Substitute the bread for rice or nut crackers and you have a protein packed, low calorie snack or lunch!   

4. Carrot Fries

These are great! You thinly slice carrots and season them just like you would a potato. Bake them at 425F for 10 min on each side. They come out crunchy and delicious just like fries, just serve with your favorite sauce.

5. Zucchini and Chocolate

Did you know that zucchini and chocolate go together! Next time you are making chocolate cake or cupcakes add in about 3 cups of shredded zucchini. When you add zucchini to chocolate cake you can't even taste it, and it makes it so moist and dense! You can also substitute your oils and butters with apple sauce or avocado!

6. Make it Mini

 If you are going to make a dessert, like a cheese cake for example. Use low fat options and make them mini! Its all about portion control here, you can trick people into not eating as much as they would if they just had a slice. 

Eating with an Olympian!

To keep on with the theme of March being National Nutrition Month, we interviewed Olympian Shevon Stoddart to find out what she eats, how she stays fit, and what keeps her going. Not only does Shevon have a great athletic body, she is a multi-talented woman, she is an outstanding 400-meter hurdler as well as a singer and songwriter. She was born in Kingston, Jamaica. At the early age of 5, she moved to Uniondale, New York. Her track career started in middle school, which by 9th grade, Shevon Stoddart was ranked #3 in the state of New York in the 400meters. The 400 intermediate hurdles was introduced to Shevon in the 10th grade were she became a 2-time State Championship. She went on to make her first Olympic team in 2004 as a junior in College and made her first World Champion team in 2005. She is preparing for the 2016 Olympic Games, which will be held in Rio, Brazil.

We here at Co-E1 are so excited about your success and to hear about how your training is going for the upcoming Olympics. You are obviously in great shape and with this month being national nutrition moth we thought we could ask you about your eating habits.

 I'm sure many people would like to know your daily eating routine. What do you generally like to eat for your meals and snacks through out the day?

For breakfast I generally eat oatmeal, cereal, or 2 waffles (low calorie) and fruit.

I always pack my lunch so that I have something to eat right after training. This would consist of an sandwich (typically tuna or turkey), fruit, a small serving of potato chips and bottled water. I don't drink fizzy drinks or juice, they have too much sugar. I try to get all my sugars from fruit. 

Snacks would be something like a protein shake, granola bar, or a peanut butter and jam sandwich. 

I prepare dinner around 6pm which would be chicken, fish or a Turkey dish with lots of veggies on the side. I rarely eat red meat.

Health Tip! You can see that she has protein with every meal. Protein gives energy and helps to repair and build tissues, muscles, skin, bones, cartilage and blood. Plus, for those of us who would like to improve the look of our nails and hair, we must consider our protein intake since both hair and nails are basically made from protein.

What is your Motivation to stay in shape?

Winning Gold

Where do you get your talents from?

For running, my dad, Zoeth Stoddart. He ran the 400m and 800m and ran 1:46 for 800m. My dad could also sing a little bit but I always just had a love for singing and entertaining.

I always wanted to do talent shows and sing at weddings. I started singing in my mum’s kitchen. She is a hair stylist and the kitchen is where she used to do her clients’ hair.

Have you ever been heavy/overweight? And what are your struggles in your healthy lifestyle?

I have never been over weight, I have always been petite and because I have small body frame and I burn fat quickly, I have to make sure I'm actually eating enough food so that I have fat to burn and not  burn into muscle. My workouts are pretty intense, so I have to prepare my body to endure. 

In what ways has Co-E1 ENADA products helped you?

I use co-e1 everyday before,during and after training. I love it because it's natural it has improved my reaction time and it gives me a clean boost before my workouts. It is help my muscles recover and keeps my energy levels sustained throughout my workouts. It has other health benefits as well that I like. 

What are your thoughts on fad diets?

I do not diet. I don't believe in diets. I believe that people should just learn to eat healthy and control portion size. I get hungry every 3 hours so I tend to eat 5-6 smaller meals a day.

Health Tip! As long as you choose the right foods and watch portion size, eating smaller meals through out the day can help you lose weight and keep you energized. But it is not for everyone, especially if you have trouble controlling the amount you eat, or if you don't have time to plan and prepare your healthy snacks and meals

Your favorite healthy treat?

I love Sweets, so my healthy treat would be some yogurt and fruits. 

Are you most of your friends into healthy eating/living? We feel like it’s often easier to succeed when your friends are healthy too.

Yes, most of my friends eat healthy and workout to keep a healthy lifestyle.  I surround myself with positive people and they always come to me if they ever need advice on works and diet.

Health Tip! If you have a real and tangible like-minded social group, you are much less likely to be affected by the artificial ones created by advertisers, marketers, and technology. If you want to get healthy, hang around other healthy people and others striving to be healthy.

Quick, easy healthy recipe?

I love to cook, but one of the easiest and healthy meals to prepare is spaghetti with meat sauce and side salad.

What is your cheat meal, how often do you indulge?

I love Pizza. I may have pizza twice a month.  

What is your Weekly workout schedule?

I workout 6 days a week and I lift weights 2-3 times a week. I'm on the track for 2 and half hours and Weight room for 1 hour. I also do ab crunches, at least 500 every night before bed. It's important for me to keep my core strong.

Testimonial Tuesday: Wake up and Live!

Today's testimonial is phenomenal! It comes to us from Henderson NV, by Ardis Nehlich. We know how stories like these cases sound extreme and too good to be true, but these are real people who our products are really helping.

"To give you a background on my health problems I was diagnosed with lymes disease, CMV, epstein barr, cox sackie viruse, fybromyalgia and various other things.I was sleeping 22 out of the 24hr a day, I spent a year and a half in bed. I was depressed and I could not care for my young children. I had no muscle strength, I could barely walk.  I had a very poor memory I would forget simple things like where I had parked, or how to do math. 

I had some relief from homeopathic remedies, using many vitamins, changing my diet, B-12 shots, acupuncture and more. I have spent my families life saving trying to find an answer to what could keep me out of bed. Through all my trials nothing gave me the energy to be out of bed for more than a few hours a day. It got to the point where I could be up for about 3 hours without resting, my motor skills had improved some and my mind was a bit better and at this point my doctors had told me that is what I was to expect for the rest of my life. 

This is why I am so excited about NADH. I feel like I have my life back. It is like coming into the sun after being in a dark tunnel. 

I started taking the supplements very slow at first, I started with the 5mgs every couple of days. I am very sensitive to many products, so i wanted to be careful of any bad reactions I might have. 

I AM SO EXCITED! At tablet 16 I felt some "pinging" in my brain, I felt alert and awake. I was able to remember pleasant things from my childhood that I hadn't thought about for years. I felt clear-minded. The feeling of hopelessness was gone. No more depression, it was like I had an interest in life again. 

I noticed that I can type again. I am not reversing and confusing my words, and it is easier to work with numbers. I can remember my social security number, my telephone number. I have had no panic attacks since I stated the NADH.

I am so thankful that I found Enada NADH, I pray that it keeps working for me, and that it can help others like me."

-Ardis Nehlich

7 Ways Laughter Really IS the best Medicine.

Laugh Your Way Healthy

NADH, a naturally occurring coenzyme found in all living cells, is necessary for cellular development and energy production. NADH also helps Enhance mood and emotional balance 

NADH enhances mood due to its important role in the development of dopamine and serotonin. Healthy levels of serotonin and dopamine support balanced mood levels.

Supplementing the diet with NADH may reduce the amounts of L-tryptophan used by the body for NADH production, thereby leaving more L-tryptophan for making serotonin. More balanced levels of serotonin promote mood enhancement, and an increased sense of well-being.

When your mood is enhanced it make laughing easier. Humor is infectious. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.

1. Laughing lowers blood pressure

Lowering your blood pressure, even those who start at normal levels, will reduce risk of strokes and heart attacks. 

2. Laughter dissolves distressing emotions

You can't feel anxious, angry or sad when you are laughing. It reduces stress and increases energy, enabling you to stay focused and accomplish more.

3. Fun ab workout

One of the benefits of laughter is that it can help you with your abs. When you are laughing, the muscles in your stomach expand and contract, similar to when you intentionally exercise your abs. Meanwhile, the muscles you are not using to laugh are getting an opportunity to relax. Add laughter to your ab routine and make getting a toned tummy more enjoyable.

4. Improves cardiac health

Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow. It gets your heart pumping and burns a similar amount of calories per hour as walking at a slow to moderate pace. So, laugh your heart into health.

5. Boosts Immune system

When you laugh, you activate T cells that immediately begin to help you fight off sickness. Next time you feel a cold coming on, add chuckling to your illness prevention plan.T cells are specialized immune system cells just waiting in your body for activation.

6. Triggers the release of endorphins

Endorphins are the body’s natural pain killers and feel good hormone. By laughing, you can release endorphins, which can help ease chronic pain and make you feel good all over.

7. Produces a general sense of well-being

Laughter shifts perspective allowing people to see situations more realistic. can increase your overall sense of well-being. Doctors have found that people who have a positive outlook on life tend to fight diseases better than people who tend to be more negative. So smile, laugh and live longer!

Hello National Pistachio Day!

Happy National Pistachio Day

February 26th 2014 

Today is the a day for all to celebrate National Pistachio Day. With your Co-E1 energy supplements and these little guys you will have the energy to Crack them open and eat them up all day! Pistachios are more than just a little nut they pack a lot of flavor and health benefits! 

Pistachios are an excellent source of vitamin B6, copper and manganese and a good source of protein, fiber, thiamin, and phosphorus.  In July 2003, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first qualified health claim specific to nuts lowering the risk of heart disease: 

Heart Health

Pistachios have been shown to reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol and increase the good HDL cholesterol after only a short period of regular consumption. High in antioxidants such as vitamins A and E, they fight inflammation, protecting blood vessels and reducing risk of heart disease.  

Diabetes Help

Eating pistachios may help to prevent Type 2 diabetes. 60 percent of the recommended daily value of the mineral phosphorous is contained in just one cup of pistachios. As well as breaking down proteins into amino acids, phosphorous aids glucose tolerance.

Skin Health

Pistachios are a great source of vitamin E, a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant, essential for maintaining the integrity of cell membranes and often recommended for healthy and beautiful skin. Vitamin E does an excellent job protecting the skin from UV damage, providing daily defense against premature aging and skin cancer.

Weight management

The fiber content of the nuts may make them more filling, helping people to eat fewer calories later on in the day.  A study published in the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" in June 2010 found that participants who consumed 240 calories worth of pistachios for 12 weeks lowered their body mass indexes and triglyceride levels more than those who consumed 220 calories worth of pretzels.

Nutrition

Pistachios contain fewer calories and more potassium and vitamin K per serving than other nuts. A 1-ounce serving of dry-roasted pistachios contains 160 calories, 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 15 grams of fat, including only 2 grams of saturated fat. It also provides you with 25 percent of the daily value for vitamin B-6, 15 percent of the daily value for thiamine and phosphorus and 10 percent of the daily value for magnesium.

There are so many different recipes using pistachios, find one that you love; here is one of our favorite easy green drinks using Pistachios! 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 Cup Kale leaves 
• 2 Bananas (frozen makes it creamier)
• 1/2 cup pistachios
• 3 Tbsp Honey 
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1/2 tsp Ginger
• pinch of salt
• 2 Cups ice (Less if using frozen banana)

Testimonial Tuesday, Natural Energy!

Today's testimonial is all about the one thing everyone strives for! MORE ENERGY! Sage Rishi is from New York, New York and has been using our products for some time now. He wrote in to give thanks and to spread the word about Enada NADH products. We would like to say as a disclaimer that no one is paid to provide a testimonial, we are simply sharing our customers heartfelt opinions and stories that they share with us. Sage here is really passionate. 

"I am writing you to express my appreciation for your wonderful product "ENADA." As a a longtime "caffeine junkie," I though I was doomed to what seemed to me as a lifetime of jitters, grumpiness, acid stomach, and afternoon energy slumps. Well, no more! In the almost 30 days that I've been taking this product, my entire world has changed. I've been able to do what for me was all but unthinkable. My first morning taking ENADA, I decided to forgo my daily coffee regimen. What a surprise! i not only did not need the morning stimulation that I depended on from coffee, I felt no withdrawal symptoms at all. I sleep better, wake up in a better mood and with far more energy than I remember having in years. Completely unlike coffee and other stimulants, your product provides no "hard energy peak" with a subsequent decay and crash. ENADA provides me with a high level of energy that lasts from the time I take the supplements int he morning continuously until I fall asleep at night. I am able to sustain the level of peak performance throughout the day without having to drink even one cup of coffee! 

The effect of ENADA has been so profound for me that I've been sharing it with all my friends and family ever since. Thank you for this incredible product and helping me to make such a tremendous difference in my life."

-Sage Rishi
