Mucho Mental Manatee Mentors--CLOSED (Pop Tarts?) (Page 31)

I've seen it at sprouts, and Kroger for sure. I would guess whole foods has it as well

Oooooooh....Just got it yesterday and hadn't opened it yet. Pg. 19 is yummy looking!  I don't have vanilla whey, though   Hmmmm....give chocolate a try?

 

CHECK THESE OUT...from same cookbook: http://www.thedailymeal.com/5-minutes-protein-truffles

I just might have the ingredients for the mocha java balls

Just discussing this on FB.

Ben Greenfield response - he agrees anti inflammatories are counter productive but still stands by ice.

Others say a transdermal magnesium something works better than ice.

I stand by do what works for YOU

Justin's Peanut Butter sachets - perfect.

oh goodness let me find his response lol...it links to his site somewhere

here's his stance on anti inflammatories

and for ice

sorry if links don't work paste into browser - i'm on work computer it's sh*t

We buy our protein and pb2 from dpsnutrition.com

I've also seen it in our grocery store.

And amazon has EVERYTHING.

Yeah, she swears it's true...... **think**

So Should You Ice After A Workout?
In the meantime, however, despite all the benefits of cold exposure, when it comes to using cold or icing post-workout, there seems to be a sudden doubting of icing’s efficacy across the internet and in several magazines.

The argument goes something like this: when an injury occurs, your body creates inflammation as a healing response. So if inflammation is the body’s natural way to heal an injury, why would you want to block this inflammatory process with ice?

Although I have a more comprehensive response to this argument against ice, forthcoming in Lava Magazine, I’ll give you 4 good reasons why, in addition to the cold thermogenesis benefits listed above, you actually should ice after a long or especially hard workout (and why I wear my tight, stretchy geeky pants post hard run or bike ride, filled with ice):

1. Ice does not completely reduce inflammation based swelling. But ice can prevent excessive swelling from occurring for a long period of time after the initial injury occurs. While some swelling certainly does important healing components such as white blood cells and other chemicals involved in the healing process to migrate into damaged tissues through increased vascular permeability, and also physically protects an injured area through decreasing it’s potential range of motion, there is no physiological reason to allow swelling to freely progress for hours or days after an injury occurs, especially if you’re smart enough to have ice around.


2. The cold temperature of ice can slow down nerve conduction velocity and shut down the activation of your muscle spindles, making it a highly effective pain reliever and muscle relaxant. If a muscle is in less pain and is more relaxed, then mobilization and movement become a reality, and a return to functional training status can occur much more quickly, which can limit muscle atrophy or loss of fitness.



3. Ice also reduces metabolic activity in the tissues that you ice, making them better able to resist the damaging effects of the impending loss of oxygen from inflammatory swelling pressure. In other words, lower tissue temperatures from icing means less oxygen is required by your muscles to sustain their integrity


4. Finally, as you learned in point 1, ice causes vasoconstriction, or shrinking of blood vessels. But unless you’re in extreme conditions where you must shuttle blood to your brain and vital organs to survive, your body will avoid tissue death by not allowing the body part you’re icing to cool excessively. Through a process called “reactive vasodilation” (also known as the Hunting reflex or Lewis reflex), your vessels, while being exposed to cold, create a negative pressure in the capillary system, which causes a pumping of inflammatory and metabolic byproducts out of an injured area, while allowing additional healing components such as macrophages and white blood cells to mobilize into the area. When combined with pressure and elevation, this “pumping” action of ice can be an extremely effective rehabilitation tool (and you can observe this in nature by simply jumping into a cold lake for about 20 minutes and watching your skin slowly turn red as reactive vasodilation occurs).
