If you are like most athletes, you want to heal naturally from your injury and do so in
record time without having to resort to drugs or surgery. Endurance and competitive
sports and intensive power training requires optimal, balanced nutrition, as they place
heavy demands on the body. Good nutritional practices should be a part of every athlete’s
normal daily routine. Nutrition is one factor that every athlete can control and maximize
to achieve the highest potential for performance.

Whatever your level of sporting achievement far–infrared therapy is going to be a great
help and comfort. Daily and nightly treatments on an infrared mattress, at home, offers
pain relief after strenuous workouts and offers athletes a safe, fast return to peak
performance.

The secret to Olympic success is higher concentrations of oxygen delivery to the cells
and until recently to do that they had to live at high altitudes and train there. That is no
longer necessary. One can now train comfortably in one’s own bedroom with EWOT
training (Exercise with Oxygen Therapy), which comes in two forms, the basic and the
simulated high-altitude training. Oxygen-rich blood is one of the most important
components for sports performance.

The Special Case of Iodine in Sports Medicine

Athletes or those participating in vigorous exercise can lose a considerable amount of
iodine in sweat, depending on environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
In areas of lower to moderate dietary iodine intake, loss in sweat can equal that in urine.
Iodine is mission critical to high levels of sports performance because “Iodine deficiency
sets a cascade of energy-depleting effects in motion,” writes Dr. William Davis.
Hallmarks of thyroid deficiency are fatigue and low stamina, not something you want to
find yourself plagued with when looking for high performance.
