FIGHT DEPRESSION WITH FISH OIL Did you know that the high metabolic activity of the brain makes it susceptible to oxidative ⁣stress and neuronal damage?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🤔 That's right, chronic psychological stress and depression promote ⁣increases in oxidative stress throughout the body, including the brain---which may lead to a ⁣snowball effect---making depressive symptoms even worse. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ The omega3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are ⁣considered essential because we must get them from the diet. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🐠 Fish oil contains high levels of EPA and DHA and provides serious protection against oxidative stress; this, combined with data that Omega-3 fatty acids are found in high abundance in the brain, has sparked interest the relationship between Omega-3 fatty acids and depressive disorders. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🧬 A recent #study published in The Journal of Nutrition tested the blood levels of DHA and EPA ⁣(omega-3 index) and biomarkers of oxidative #stress in a population of #men and #women who ⁣were susceptible to #depression. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🧪 It was concluded that subjects who had high levels of oxidative stress, had an inverse relationship between omega-3 index and depressive symptoms. Simply put, subjects that consumed the most omega-3 fatty acids, were the least depressed. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🤗THE DOC’s TAKE: If you train hard, follow a restricted diet, and are subjected to mental stress, ⁣you may want to consider taking a high-quality omega-3 fatty acid supplement like @atp_labs OMEGA -3 Triglyceride. Shoot to get 1-3 grams of combined EPA and DHA in up to 3x per day with food. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 📖 Reference: ⁣⁣⁣Bigornia SJ, Harris WS, Falcón LM, Ordovás JM, Lai CQ, Tucker KL. The Omega-3 Index Is ⁣Inversely Associated with Depressive Symptoms among Individuals with Elevated Oxidative ⁣Stress Biomarkers.

Reposting @strengthsenseilegacy: ... "Essential fatty acids are essential to life. They can be divided into two broad categories, omega 3 and 6, although there are more in the same family (such as omega 7 &9). If both omega 3 and 6 are necessary, an excess of omega 6 tends to be pro-inflammatory and will ultimately cause health issues. Modern diet provides with a notoriously ample supply of omega 6 and little to no amount of omega 3. It has been estimated that our ancestors thrived on a 1:1 or 4:1 ratio of omega 3 to 6 (depending on which region of the world is considered 🌏). Nowadays the balance typically hovers around 1:20! When you remember that inflammation co-exists with virtually every disease known to man… it makes you wonder. So, let’s look at those anti-inflammatory omega 3. These guys come in 3 different flavors: ALA, EPA and DHA. DHA btw makes up 60% of brain fatty acids. ALA is plant based 🌿, EPA and DHA animal based 🐟and are the more relevant to human health. One of the worst ways to supplement omega 3 is using flax seeds. Why so? In order to transform ALA into EPA or DHA you need the intervention of enzymes named fatty acid desaturases and other enzymes called elongases. These enzymes are not very effective since only between 8 and 20 per cent of ALA is converted to EPA, and only up to 9% of ALA is converted to DHA. Another issue is competition between these enzymes, when omega 6 are present in greater amounts than omega 3, they monopolize the enzymatic activity and diminish even further the conversion rates. Of course some genetic predispositions place individuals at varying points on the ability spectrum - but overall the rate of conversion of ALA to the longer chains EPA and DHA is poor at best. And to add insult to injury flax seeds are not supportive to thyroid health AND are mildly estrogenic - double whammy! 😵 When it comes to fish oils there are a few other pitfalls to consider. The end product quality can suffer due to extraction methods and processing. The three main concerns are:  #1 Presence of solvants ⚗ #2 presence of heavy metals ☠  #3 Rancidity. Before you ask: our go to brands are NutriDyn, DFH, and ATPLab." (at Carrizal, Miranda, Venezuela) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YmjH-HpBnLB-GU2CjBBacHBYFGdbUb00u3jM0/?igshid=nqeon3h432l3

FIBER? FIBRE? No matter how you spell it, here are some numbers to shoot for: 25 to 38! ⁣⁣ 🌱 This is the number of grams of fiber that you should be taking in daily. ⁣ ⁣ 🌱 It has been known for years that adequate fiber intake decreases hunger, normalizes blood glucose levels, regulates blood lipids, and contributes to overall health. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌱 Remarkably, on average, we only take in about 50% of what we should. Furthermore, studies show that obese individuals consistently report the lowest fiber intakes. Furthermore, it’s well known that fermentable fiber and oligosaccharides, like inulin provide nutrients for the microbiota and probiotic supplements.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌱 I recommend that you make a conscious effort to increase your fiber content in each meal using whole foods. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌱 One of the best ways to do this is by increasing the amount of green vegetables in your diet---doing so will not only increase fiber, but also increase the nutrient density of your meals.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌱If you are like most people and have problems getting in enough fiber or have gut health issues, I suggest using the newest prebiotic from @atp_labs PreBioFib. Take 1-2 scoops daily before meals with water to ensure you are loaded with healthy fiber and probiotics!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #prebiotic #atplab #atp_labs #fiber #fibre #health #science #realscience #guthealth #weightloss (at London, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxGCPIARQz/?igshid=1ikch7p8yni3h

WORKOUT HARDER WITH BEETROOT⁣ ⁣ 🌱 Beetroot is a naturally concentrated source of dietary nitrate (NO3−) and, through a few simple biochemical steps, it becomes nitric oxide (NO). ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🧪 Past studies show that beetroot supplements, acting as a precursor to nitric oxide (NO) production, promote increased blood flow to working muscle during aerobic type exercise. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📖 Other studies show that beetroot extract taken prior to endurance style training enhances muscle contractile efficiency, allowing you to push more weight with less energy cost. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🤔 Up to recently, however, there have been very few studies investigating the benefits of beetroot supplementation on intermittent, high intensity, exercise....⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📖 A recent review, published in the JISSN, did just that! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 👌🏻After screening 738 research studies on beetroot juice, the authors found 9 studies that met their eligibility criteria (human subjects, direct effects of beetroot determined, high-intensity intermittent ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ exercise). ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 💥After comprehensive analysis, the researchers made the following conclusions:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 1) Supplementation with beetroot reduces muscular fatigue experienced during high-intensity exercise.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 2) Beetroot can help recover phosphocreatine reserves when resting between sets (during resistance training and/or sprint intervals), this provides more high energy phosphate for ATP (energy) production. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 3) Beetroot decreases buildup of metabolites, such as ADP, which are known to contribute to muscular fatigue. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 4) Beetroot boosts calcium handling, improving muscle efficiency and power.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 📖 Reference: J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2018 Jan 5;15:2. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣🙌WANT THE BEST BEETROOT BASED SUPPLEMENT MONEY CAN BUY?

💀 CONTAMINATION IN YOUR SUPPLEMENTS?⁣ ⁣⁣ 🤨Colours are added to foods and supplements only to make them more attractive to the consumer and to compensate for color variations that exist naturally in many foods. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 😳This is because colour alters our perception of food quality. Since artificial food colouring provides no health or nutritional benefit, and there is a large body of evidence for carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, this neurotoxicity and hypersensitivity among artificial colouring agents, we feel that all of the currently used dyes have no place in food and supplements. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🧪Unfortunately, despite a ⁣large body of evidence illustrating several health issues associated with common #foodcoloring agents, many companies continue to pump potentially toxic compounds into supplements to make them look more appealing—all at the cost of consumer health.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👏In all ATP Lab formulations, we carefully consider how your health and the efficacy of our products are impacted by non-medicinal ingredients like sweeteners, artificial flavours, and artificial colours. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 😳The #research indicates that many of these #chemical compounds are #unhealthy ⁣and limit the efficacy of the active #medicinal ingredients. Using such products not only wastes money, but it also contradicts the fundamental purpose of #exercising and using supplements, to promote #health, #performance, and vitality, across the lifespan. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🧐This is why we avoid chemical ⁣artificial #sweeteners (like ACE-K, #Aspartame, and #sucralose ), only use natural flavors, and avoid using #artificial colours whatsoever. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ♥️In fact, @atp_labs we never add colour to our products----so you can be ⁣confident that the #colouring in any of our products occurs organically and reflects the #natural colour(s) of our premium #formulations! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #atplab #healthy #fitfam #clean #pure #atplab #foodcolor #poison (at London, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuoFn64gG0W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tpxjeuvn3idr

KEY SUPPLEMENTS FOR MUSCLE GROWTH. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🧬Research illustrates that stacking some of the top muscle building supplements can synergistically drive anabolism and increase #fat loss better than taking them alone! ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 😁This is great news, since many of today’s best selling pre-/post-workout supplements are formulated with well-established muscle building ingredients. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 👌🏻One fact that cannot be disputed--- resistance training combined with high quality whey protein supplementation boosts anabolism. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 📚 A recent meta-analysis, published in #Sports #Medicine, aimed to quantify the #strength and #muscle building effects of taking whey protein alone and/or in combination with other supplements. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🧪Data from 9 randomized control trials (192 subjects), which included supplementation and weight training for at least 6 weeks, were analyzed. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🧬The researchers reported that whey protein #supplementation alone or #stacked with multi-ingredient supplements results in greater gains in muscle mass and overall strength compared to isocaloric supplementation of #carbohydrate or non-whey forms of protein. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 💪🏻Most notably, the #muscle building effects of whey #protein supplementation are greatest when taken with multi-ingredient #supplements that contain #creatine.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ☝🏻So, head on over to your local supplement retailer or @atp_labs and grab a bottle of our NEW ZEALAND WHEY and a can of our MYOPRIME. Mix 1 scoop of MYOPRIME in 250-500 ml of water and drink 30-60 min preworkout. Mix 1 scoop of whey protein in 250ml of milk or water and drink immediately after training! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 📖 Reference: Sports Med. 2016 Jan;46(1):125-37. doi: 10.1007/s40279-015-0403-y⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #atp_labs #atplab #science #realscience #scienceneversleeps #y3t #bodybuilding #muscular. #fitover40 #fitover45 #healthy #supplements (at London, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBAIDogHDc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=620q2e1jymul
