Listener Q&A:
====================================== [contact-form 3 "AskBen"] ======================================
chunkybearcub asks via twitter @bengreenfield: what do u think of citruaid citrulline amino acid supplement?
Helen asks: Please can I ask about my friend who has had a medical with the following areas of concern; Blood count MCHC 31.8g/dL, Gamma Gtp 167 IU/L and LDL Cholesterol 4.6/total chol 6.7. He is keen to know what these figures mean and what he can do to treat naturally/lifestyle changes.
Nick asks: I've read that kombucha should not be taken by pregnant women.. why is that?
Chuck asks: I'd like to listen to some audio books while I drive and I know you often recommend some good ones. What are your picks for health and life balance/prioritization/efficiency?
In my response to Chuck, I recommend he visit my personal blog at http://bengreenfieldtri.blogspot.com/, and I also recommend Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.
Steve asks: I am an avid follower of your training and nutritional advice, successful ultra-marathon runner and a neurological physical therapist in the UK. My younger brother is soon to return to the UK. He is morbidly obese, has acquired type 2 diabetes while living abroad, and suffers from associated health problems. I would love to get him on the right path to good health and longevity, but frankly the diabetes issues confuses me. Please could you advise of good training and eating strategies, or some good resources to refer to.
In my response to Steve, I recommend he look into low-carbohydrate diabetes diet books written by Dr. Richard Bernstein.
Patrick asks: I'm getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out of my head on Thursday, and the dental hygienist has told me some terrifying "facts" about my future nutritional practices. She said I should expect to eat semi-solids like mashed potatoes and applesauce for a couple days. She went on to say that because of the craters (for lack of a better word) that will be left after surgery, I'm forbidden from hard foods for 6 months, including all nuts and seeds! What is your take on this? What are some food suggestions you have that can support 70.3 and IM triathlon training, but won't be as damaging to my dental health?
I encourage Patrick to read the SuperHealth diet book by KC Craichy and look into LivingProtein and LivingFuel (read the label), along with this Vitamix/green smoothie video, and the BenGreenfieldFitness Inner Circle.
Layla asks: I know CoQ and ubiquinol supplements are recommended for older people for energy and antioxidant benefits, but since these molecules work in the electron transport chain in mitochondria, will they also increase metabolism? I also have a second question. I live somewhere really cold so I'm interested in shifting my metabolism toward heat production. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any ways for adults to convert white fat to the more metabolically active brown fat. Are there proton uncoupling supplements that act like thermogenin (ucp1)?
Craig asks: Whenever I drink from the aero bottle on the bike I get a burning sensation in the back of my throat that feels somewhat like GERD. I know it's not the water source, it's the same one I've been putting in bottles for a decade. What gives? How can I stop it? BTW, great tip using the flexible refrigerator tubing in the aero bottle.
