Hey finally got around to putting up a podcast based around the raw food, barefoot running material I speak about here. I have put another site together as I think it is better to have it separate from the sport activity I also have here. I have not yet got the ITunes feed set up, but please have listen and get back to me on what you think you can find it at www.rawfoodbarefoot.com

Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery

   1. Drink water, all you care for, before during and after engaging in

   strenuous activity

   2. Eat fruit upon completion of activity to bring blood sugar back

  to normal levels and provide sugar for conversion to muscle glycogen.

   3. Consume celery and/or tomatoes to provide necessary

   sodium at least several times per week or as often as you participate

   in strenuous activity.

   4. When possible, rest after meals to foster optimum digestion.

   5. Remember, exercise does not provide energy, it requires energy.

    Sleep as much as you desire.

   6. During long duration activities, drink sports drinks of fruit blended

   with water. This works very well. For "ultra" events, add celery to the mixture.

   7. Monitor your water losses by using a scale to measure your weight before

    and after workouts.

   8. Raw foods provide the maximum nutrients for the minimal calories 

    encouraging the most rapid recovery. Gradually raise the raw percentage

    of your diet until you approach or reach 100%.

   9. Develop the habit of going to bed earlier to obtain a good night's sleep.

  10. Keep meals simple for optimum digestion, and varied to insure optimum nutrition.
