Check with your physician before undertaking any change in diet or exercise.
Fat Metabolism and Cholesterol
To make a long story short, ingested fats are broken down in the stomach by lypolytic enzymes and emulsified by bile in the small intestin into phosophlipids, cholesterol's, and triglycerides and packed into chylomicrons then enter the bloodstream via: lymphatic system, where the liver has further oppertunity to break them down. Phospholipids are released into the blood to the cells, some are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol for energy aerobic activity. Cholesterol, mostly LDL, is taken up by muscle tissue for tissue componest repair after exercise. HDL's are a bi-product of this process, so it would stand to saneness that exercise raises HDL while lowers the LDL cholesterols. Which are also necessary for the production of hormones. Estrogen for women; Testosterone for men. To have a total cholesterol level lower 200 mg./dcl. could actually be causing more harm than good. Resistence exercise will increase the production of HDL's which eliminate LDL's. So if this is your desire, then get pumping! A truly healthy diet should consist of a total fat intake of no less than 15% of total calories.
Protein Metabolism in Exercise & Diet
Our bodies transform ingested proteins into living body tissue. Sounds good, but things can go wrong when you don't add certain nutrients! Here's how it works: Pepsin breaks down proteins and amino acids. Proteins that contain all the essential amino acids need to be ingested every 3 to 4 hours to ensure the availability of all possible combinations of amino acids for celluler intake. Since the body cannot store individual amino acids they cannot be used for cellular protein synthesis until all of the right combinations are present at once. They are useless for protein synthesis unless they are combined with the required missing amino acids. Oh no! Your liver may want to take some of your amino acids to store and build catabolic enzymes for release during stress. The liver builds proteins using amino acids so when your diet is insufficient in protein, amino acids cannabolize to produce glucose for energy with a toxic by-product of ammonia. Sounds bad. But there is hope! This amino acid deamination usually occurs during strict dieting, over exertion, or from a too high protein intake. Your amino acids need to be spared to rebuld your tissue and make structural repairs. So, ingest the proper amount of proteins to prevent the cannabolization of amino acids.in organ & muscle tissue.

Vitamins are nutrients that are essential for life itself. In fact the word vitamin comes from the Latin word 'vita' which means life. There are two types of vitamins, fat soluable and water soluable.
Zinc is a mineral, a part of more than 70 major enzyme systems of the body. Its function is synthesis of proteins and repair of the genetic controller of life itself, the DNA and RNA. The suggested RDA dosage is 15 mg a day.. Obviously it is essential.

In every form of life, from human to plant life, we are composed of atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules would not exist without enzymes, the Principle Life of Cosmic Energy, reciprocal in nature, magnetic and intangible.
Enzymes are so Dynamic they remain alive, in a state of suspended animation, dormant for hundreds if not thousands of years, within nuts and seeds, and under the right conditions, will promote catalyst-ic chemical action and regeneration in the atoms and molecules composing your body, "IF", and only if, they have not been roasted, toasted cooked, sautéed, boiled, fried, or heated in ANY way.
Even if you base your meals solely on cooked foods, with a salad once a day, you are still living in a state of decadent existence. In order to get the full benefit your meals need to be based on RAW, unheated, unprocessed, unrefined foods on a daily basis, your drinks of the day should include fresh raw vegetable and fruit juices, with plenty of water daily, and if you so desire, have a little cooked food once in a while, but never fried.

There is overwhelming evidence that eating up to a pound of diverse fruits and vegetables can markedly reduce the risks of common forms of cancer and other diseases."
Cancer and other diseases are substantially lower in countries where diets high in a variety of vegetables, fruits and whole grains are the norm
Vegetables and fruits have nutrients and phytochemicals whose compounds exert beneficial effects on our bodies to prevent disease.
Spinach, avocado and other yellow or leafy green vegetables contain lutein.reduces the risk for cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading preventable cause of blindness in America slows prostate cancer cell growth
For many years, scientists have studied dietary habits in several countries where more fiber and less fat is consumed than in the United States. People in those countries have a lower incidence of heart disease and certain cancers, such as colorectal cancer, than Americans do.
Dietary fiber together with the nutrients from vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals work together to lower the risk of cancer.
Whole grains, an important source of dietary fiber, may also reduce the risk of stroke.
Only plant foods fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds can provide the fiber essential to good health.
Eat between 20 and 35 grams of fiber each day.
A diet of five servings of fruits and vegetables a day is what the American Institute for Cancer Research and the National Cancer Institute says will prevent cancer.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps fight harmful free radicals, acts as a free-radical scavenger to increase the immune system which prevents colds and fights illnesses and disease.
Vitality and beauty are gifts of Nature to those who apply the laws and bounties of Mother Nature to your diet.
Every single cell in your entire body depends upon vitamins, and or minerals to function at peak levels. A single deficiency in any single micronutrient is, in my opinion, the cause of 80% of all degenerative diseases.
The greatest law of the human biology is replenishment. By supplying our body each day with the elements of which it's composed, we can attain complete health providing due attention is given to our mind and spirit.
Health is the indisputable foundation for the indemnification of life. Our bodies are made up of many atomic elements. The principle ones are:
Oxygen Calcium Sodium Chlorine
Carbon Phosphorus Magnesium Fluorine
Hydrogen Potassium Iron Silicone
Nitrogen Sulphur Iodine Manganese
If your bloodstream, organs, glands, tissues, cells, and the rest of the human biology do not contain these elements in their proper proportion, you are living in a state of decadent existence. We not only die prematurely, we suffer along the way.
When the long rang retribution of the laws of Mother Nature catches up to us for the infraction of Her Laws, an infinite number of ailments come as a warning to us.
Once you have discovered the bliss which results from the application of a little study, and a lot of mental fortitude, you will never go back to the way you were living.
Every part comprising the human biology is composed of microscopic cells containing the various elements mentioned above. These cells are continuously being used up in the course of human existence and must constantly be replenished to be rebuilt.
A diet consisting, exhaustively, of cooked devitalized foods, inevitably results in the demise of these cells, creating disease.
In 1936 we received our official warning, and here it is, written in Freaken 1936. US Senate Document #264 published by The Second Session of the 74th Congress stated:
"Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which can not be remedied until the depleted soil from which our foods come are brought into proper mineral balance?"
"The alarming fact is that foods fruits and vegetables and grains, now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us no matter how much of them we eat."
"Laboratory tests prove that the fruits and vegetables, grains, eggs and even the milk and meats of today are not what they were a few generations ago."
"No man could eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his stomach with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health, because his stomach isn't big enough."
"It is bad news to learn from our leading authorities that 99% of the American public are deficient these minerals, and that a marked deficiency in any one of the more important minerals actually results in disease."
"Any upset of the balance, any considerable lack of one or another element, however microscopic the body requirement might be, and we sicken, suffer, and shorten our lives".
The mineral content of the earth's soil continues to deteriorate at an ever accelerating pace as a result of world over population, and mass farming.
This means that if you depend totally on a so called "balanced diet" for the required minerals of which the human biology is composed of, you will not obtain health unless you SUPPLIMENT!
Food grown on our depleted soil just doesn't do it for us any more. Supplementation in this highly processed day and age is an absolute must, especially for the fitness oriented individuals like you and I.
In fact, exercise without supplementation is straight suicide. Athletes sweat out more minerals in 5 years than a sedimentary individual does in 75 years.
Our human genetic potential includes a life free of disease with a longevity potential of 120 to 140 years. To do such would require all 90 nutrients, which includes 60 essential minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 essential amino acids and 3 essential fatty acids.
Degenerative, chronic diseases are totally preventable with supplementation of the aforementioned. There are five third world countries presently living out this genetic potential. They consistently consume high levels of 60 to 72 minerals with each meal.
Due to the lack of attention to the basics of the human biology we Americans fall short of our genetic potential. Do not consider it an expense for the purchase of vitamin and mineral supplementation, but rather consider it an investment in your bank of health.
After all, what good would all the money in the world do for you, if you do not possess your health? You will save many of thousands of dollars from unnecessary operations, besides the perpetual impairment to your health, as well as save you from premature old age and an untimely death.
Here you have it in order of importance:
1.) vitamins and minerals;
2.) essential fatty acids;
3.) antioxidants;
4.) glucosamine and chondroiten;
5.) amino acids and creatine for exercise, body-building and athletes.
I suggest getting you minerals in the "plant derived (organic) colloidal form". You have to be sure they are "organic". Anyone can claim "colloidal". Colloidal refers to the size of the particle. It is 700 times smaller than a red blood cell. Metallic minerals can be broken down to a colloidal size but are still metallic.
Metallic minerals have a toxicity level, organic minerals do not. Organic minerals are negatively charged while the stomach lining is positively charged, which causes them to act as a magnet with a 98% bio-availability. Metallic minerals do not possess this
capability.
