Beetroot Juice By Charlotte Meschede - Nutritionist
The use of nutritional supplements and specialised diet programs is common practice amongst many athletes, both amateurs and professionals. Whatever the desired outcome, I have always preferred using food and whole food supplements. Many athletes do not focus on diet to improve performance, but almost exclusively look to supplements, combinations in isolation, to give them the boost they desire. But it is important to ensure that the diet is corrected before adding any additional supplements in order to achieve the optimal effect.
What is the difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise?
In simple terms, the body relies primarily on oxygen to produce energy during aerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise does not use oxygen to burn fuel for energy. What starts off as aerobic exercise and becomes anaerobic exercise then 4

is dependent on two things, the intensity of the exercise and the duration of the exercise. Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging or cycling at a steady pace for an extended period of time. Short bouts of intense exercise such as sprinting, jumping, skipping and weight lifting will then depend on anaerobic metabolism. Both forms of exercise will be beneficial. Anaerobic exercise generally enhances muscle strength, power and size as well as overall speed. Aerobic exercise typically builds endurance and improves muscle efficiency as improving cardiovascular health. DNA testing may be of benefit to an individual in determining which type of exercise suits your genotype. Many people opt for exercise routines that are current trends rather than what suits them as an individual. I have often had patients who found their natural skills through DNA testing and this had a major impact not only on their overall performance but also on their weight management. For further information on this subject, it would be better to consult a practitioner who specialises in these tests.
