Athletes should reconsider your attitude about taking vitamin complexes. Scientists from
Norway
argue that the regular intake of athletes
vitamins C
and
E
the result may worsen athletic performance, which demonstrates the athlete.
Scientists described the results of a study that proves that the vitamins reduce endurance. In an experiment that proves this theory involved 54 healthy volunteers both sexes. Behind them were followed for eleven weeks. Part of the study participants took for each day 235 mg Vitamin E and 1000 mg vitamin C Still part of the volunteers received placebo.
At the same time all the people involved in endurance sports training. Every week 3-4 they ran long distances or perform other endurance exercise. The researchers analyzed the state of the muscle tissue of volunteers before the experiment and after its completion.
It was found that people who received only placebo, increased the number of markers that point to the emergence of new mitochondria in muscle cells. This figure shows that muscle endurance increased. The volunteers who took vitamins, such an increase was not observed.
During physical exertion muscles increases the oxygen content, so that they become stronger. Scientists believe that antioxidants inhibit oxidation in the muscle that stops the development of muscle endurance athlete. A vitamin C and E It is just antioxidants, which improve the level of the body's defenses and resist attacks by viruses and bacteria. Large amounts of vitamin E is found in nuts, herbs, vegetable oil. A lot of vitamin C shows in potatoes . Citrus and etc.
It is not useful for the human body and synthetic antioxidant supplements . According to scientists, these drugs, as opposed to the natural vitamins, can accelerate the development of tumors in cancer patients. Studies that scientists conducted on laboratory mice have confirmed this theory. According to some experts, the vitamins in the body should fall exclusively from natural foods, not from artificial food additives.
