  8. NO MAGIC!! REMEMBER • There will always be a cost. • There are no magic pills and no free lunches. • Don’t pollute your body. • Tendency toward muscle mass is largely genetic • Magazine have ulterior motives for printing material. • Ergogenic aids industry takes in 1 billion dollars a year in sales.

  9. Energy Bars • Are They Really Worth It? • Cost $1.50-$2.00 each. • Contain 100-300 calories, mostly from carbohydrates. • Sports Nutritionist, Nancy Clark states that “people who exercise at an intensity that can be maintained for 30 minutes may benefit from consuming 400 calories plus 8-16 ounces of water before or during such exercise.” • She also points out that the same result can be maintained by eating normal foods such as bananas, raisins, and bagels.

  10. Sports Drinks • Americans spend up to 1 billion dollars a year on sports drinks like Gatorade, Power-aid, and Exceed. • Environment, extreme levels of activity, and prolonged strenuous activities may warrant the use of the sport drinks to replace low levels of electrolytes lost in activity. • Cool water can be used to meet the needs of most people who exercise in moderate climates.

  11. Sports Drinks Cont… • Consumer Report states: • For most people, sports drinks are no better than water. • Sugar in the drinks are supposed to maintain high levels of blood sugar to prevent fatigue; however, it takes 1 ½ hours of strenuous exercise to deplete energy sources. • Deliberate replacement of lost electrolytes (primary sodium) is not necessary for moderate exercise if a person has a normal diet. In very hot weather a pinch of salt added to meals for a few days will adequately provide for body needs. • These drinks may taste good, but cause more to be ingested that needed. • People running marathons or involved in intense exercise for hours may benefit from the sports drinks to bolster sugar levels and replace electrolytes.
