“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.”

Rachel Louise Carson (1907 – 1964), American marine biologist, writer, and conservationist.

You have certainly heard many times about importance of adequate hydration with physical exercise.

Independently from liquid lost when transpiring, exercise expands body water reserves.

Hence, especially after a break, you need to replenish body water reserves, as resting goes hand in hand with dehydration.

You have certainly noticed higher meat quality of animals elevated in freedom. It is juicy and more tasty, than the one of in captivity elevated individuals.

Liquid losses can be tremendous after a few days off, but should be replenished progressively, a process which takes hours.

Muscle pain is absent if you exercise in the morning while fasting.

This is because ketone bodies substituting then the whole organism as energy source need less the lactate cycle (Cori’s).

Also, rest of 2-3 hours before absorbing first meal after sports is crucial to avoid this issue.

This is not only about aches, as accumulation of lactate crystals impedes on tissue growth and development.

If you do not respect this rule, the first sets next day attain a lower performance.

This is why professional trainers propose always a warm-up session, during which lactate is burned and eliminated from the whole body.

Hence, with training session starts production of new cells.

This continues for many hours depending on intensity of accomplished work.

Muscle, for instance, but also all collagen tissue of the skeleton, needs fatty acids, which are taken from non-used elements, like fat and liver, to constitute at first cell membranes.

If you eat immediately after a sport session, the organism is engaged in a catabolic phase, leaving no time to cells for division (Mitosis) aand multiplication.

Later, with nutrition, come proteins for instance, for bilding fibers inside the cells.

Exercise ruptures cell elements, which need rest and supplements for restoring.

These lesions promote cell division with creation of new cells.

On the contrary, excess of sugar and starches in meals triggers production of new fat cells after replenishment of old ones.

Empty cell membranes after exhaustion of content undergo destruction with reutilization of constituents.
