Is jet lag a typical human phenomenon due to our technical progress that is first of all characterized by an increasing speed of what ever we do? That humans in the 21st century struggle with the speed of events in time seems obvious. Jet lag is only one of the many symptoms related to this acceleration that is so overwhelming, and it is one that quite some research is done on.
Obviously, the human being is not really made for fast travelling bridging several time zones within hours. Nevertheless, so many of us have this tremendous inborn curiosity in them to see the world's remotest places. Others have to travel because their job demands it, so they have little choices.
In many sports traveling is part and parcel of the job, so it is in triathlon. Not only professionals travel around the world also many age groupers do so. Therefore I thought it may be interesting to have a closer look at this phenomenon that is definitely bothering all of us who love travelling.
Soon we shall have Kona race week, Vegas race week is already in full swing. I am sure many of you are having their very own way of successful tapering regimen. Let us know your way, and we shall send you Biestmilch in return. Biestmilch is a very helpful tool to support you during tapering.
Among all participants we are going to draw 15 that receive 3 Biest Boosters, a Biestmilch T-shirt and 2 chewy tablets to put to test.
This survey is closed.
Since several weeks the gastrointestinal infection with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is unsettling Germany and other European countries. I don't want to add more of the same to the pulp of words and breaking news on air every day. Opinions and propositions from experts of various kinds use this microorganism to follow their agendas, and irritate us, the so-called public. Currents of medical, epidemiological, microbiological, demographic, political etc. discourses coalesce and turned into a dirty flood overwhelming us.
Auch Athleten leiden am "Leaky gut Syndrom"
Magen-Darmprobleme treten bei Hochleistungssportlern und speziell Ausdauerathleten generell sehr häufig auf. Aus diesem Grund ist die kürzlich von einer englischen Arbeitsgruppe publizierte Studie für uns besonders interessant. Sie unterstreicht eindrucksvoll das protektive Potenzial von Colostrum/Biestmilch auf die Magen- und Darmschleimhaut und die Bedeutung eines "Leaky gut Syndroms" für die Entstehung der Magen-Darm-Symptome bei Athleten. Die Studienergebnisse stimmen mich sehr zufrieden und zuversichtlich, denn ich habe diese Wirkung der Biestmilch, die aus Bereichen der Medizin bereits bekannt war, bei Athleten oft hervorgehoben, bin jedoch auf wenig Resonanz gestoßen. Vielleicht ändert sich dies ja jetzt.Stomach and gut issues are common among high-end performance athletes and endurance athletes in general. A few weeks ago a very interesting study has been published* that underscores the properties of biestmilch as a substance stabilizing the mucosal lining of the stomach and the gut. This makes me very happy, as I have been stressing the respective effects to athletes many times.
The gastro-intestinal tract's role is not only digestion, its mucosal lining also acts as a selective communicator between the external and internal micro-environments. In endurance performance you are walking the line between absorbing nutrients and keeping compounds on the outside that may jeopardizing your body's balance.
