Lactic Acid: The victim of villinous short sighted science?

[Cathe Frederic]

Dawn Morningstar Got a runner's question, Cathe ;) How do you curb, or clear lactic acid buildup during distances without compression wear or pills

    Sandra Snider These words come to my mind: one way is matter into energy another way is energy into matter is built in. I choose to make no effort to define these words. Not sure they are mine

    Cathe Frederic I missed this question Dawn. I will answer it in one of my blogs. If you don't see it in two weeks remind me please! I am only able to blog on Sundays during the summer farming time.

    Cathe Frederic wow! My first impression, befor the blood tests was that his body was some how processing that lactate. However, lactate has other uses and I would think, one of them would be that of a safety valve. There are people born who can not experience pain either. They have to go through their lives being very cautious because they do not know when they hurt themselves. Let me review the current info on lactate.

    Popeye was right: Spinach really boosts muscles

    Just about anyone who harks back a few decades is familiar with the famed cartoon character Popeye the Sailor Man, who downed a can of spinach to produce bulging muscles whenever he needed to get out of trouble. Now researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden found have discovered that Popeye...

    Cathe Frederic also Dawn in the above article it states that Spinach boots nitric oxide levels and that is responsible for improved muscle function. In theory then taking the amino acid L-Arginine prior to a run would allow for more efficient lactic acid burn as it increases nitric oxide in the blood stream and muscles. However! If anyone has a problem with Herpies virus they would want to avoid all sugars so their immune system is not compromised as the Herpies virus appears to thrive in an environment high in Arginine.

    Cathe Frederic and if it were me I would make sure that my meals contained adequate protein to make certain I got a balance of other amino acids as well. And to take the L-Arginine only while training
