======================================
Patrick asks: Is there any validity to the claim that taking in natural sugars (honey, maple syrup, fruit juices) is somehow less damaging to your body that processed (HFCS) or refined (white sugar) sugars? I've heard that it has to do with what your body "recognizes as food," but haven't heard any convincing evidence that your body knows the difference.
Mer asks: I was wondering what is a good place to start with hemp proteins. I'm staring down hempseed oil, shelled hemp seeds and hemp protein powder. I've seen Jessa mix up stuff with the oil, but is that good for smoothies too? I can't buy all of them at the moment, so where would you start? Here's the recipe I mentioned to Mer, and here's a link to the LivingProtein.
1 cup cooked quinoa
½ cup shelled hempseed
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup grated carrots
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 bunch (1¾ ounces) chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed between your fingers
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or dried Aleppo pepper
⅔ cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients; toss and serve.
Brock asks: A few weeks ago I had a bit of a head cold. I was taking the product Advil Cold & Sinus to keep my symptoms minimized and noticed that when I went for a run I felt faster, lighter and like I could run forever. I thought it might be the Pseudoephedrine in the medication... so, once I was over the cold, I tried going for my LSD run about 20 minutes after taking one capsule of Advil Cold & Sinus and sure enough I got that energy boost again. My question is, I know Pseudoephedrine is a controlled medication in Canada (where I live) likely due to Meth Labs springing up and has been on-and-off the banned list for the olympics but is it safe to exercise when taking it? Is there any reason why someone shouldn't pop a couple of these before a road race, shinny game or even a marathon to get that energy boost?
Bill asks: I was wonder if you ever commented on this guy before, Lew Hollander, 80 yr old KONA Ironman finisher. What are you’re thoughts on his supplement recommendations? And is it only appropriate for older generation or can everyone benefit from his suggestions?
Kelcey asks: What is the difference between an interval workout using threshold vs. VOs Max? What is the difference between AT and VO2 max? Shawn asks: Just wondering if you are familiar with the breathing techniques described in BreathPlay and what your thoughts are?
