Is dietary nitrate good or bad for our health? 🧐

In our recent review, we explore the paradox between dietary nitrate, health and disease. We highlight how the food source may be the single most important factor moderating nitrate metabolism (1/8)

What do athletes eat at Olympic Games? With the Paris 2024 Olympics underway, many athletes have left the foods they are used to behind. Now they rely on what the organisers of the Games provide: https://t.co/30ZlFkOfqt

Great news! dairy foods containing lactose shown to be a useful source of carbohydrate before and during exercise

[Asker Jeukendrup @Jeukendrup]

Milking it, can lactose be useful in sports nutrition? This blog describes findings from a study looking at whether lactose, a sugar exclusively found in milk, can be used for energy during exercise https://t.co/pOVPSdDkil

Milk: Nature’s Sports Drink🥛

Milk is approximately isotonic, contains high-quality protein, carbohydrates, water & sodium 👈

This makes it comparable to many commercially available sports recovery drinks🥤

Post-exercise milk ingestion has been shown to…

⬆️ muscle protein synthesis
⬆️ rehydration
⬆️ glycogen resynthesis
⬇️ muscle damage
⬇️ muscle soreness
⬇️ post-exercise energy intake

These positive effects can accumulate long-term to…

Enhanced body composition ✅
Improved training adaptations ✅
Accelerated recovery of performance ✅

Plus, it’s incredibly cheap coming in at:

£0.44 - £0.88 per Litre
or
£0.24 - £0.50 per 20g protein

Cheap, effective, natural 🐮

Do you need to load creatine? 📈

This classic study compared two creatine dosing protocols on muscle creatine content.

👉 20g/day vs 3g/day 👈

The 20g/day protocol ⬆️ total muscle creatine stores by 20% in 6-days.

The 3g/day protocol also ⬆️ total muscle creatine stores by 20% in 28-days.

If you NEED to rapidly increase creatine stores, then load⏳

If not, there is no need! ✅

Athletes, if you hesitate to enjoy cheese, think again. Despite having high levels of saturated fat and sodium, cheese in not linked to risk of heart disease, likely because of the dairy matrix. https://t.co/rdDiwwufWz

I think the message here is to critically evaluate supplements and follow #UKAD advice https://t.co/Gyb0EB8Fx7

Some of top US college running programs have moved away from body composition testing, realising it hurts more than helps performance. It's about time!
