There used to be a TV commercial where the spokesperson would always end with, “An educated consumer is our best customer.” I wholeheartedly believe such an approach is key to helping a client reach his/her fitness goals. After all, the average client works with me between 2 and 4 hours per week. That leaves about 164 hours where it is up to the client to do the right thing. An important part of that education lies in recognizing how carbohydrates affect the human body.

We have been taught that it is dangerous to be overweight. Now some experts claim that fear is overblown. It is not fatness but fitness that counts. If you are 5 feet 6 and weigh 155 pounds, many doctors would consider you ten to fifteen pounds over your ideal weight. There are some who might say you are thirty pounds over and at risk for numerous health problems. These opinions have more to do with culture and society than health itself.

I earned a Masters degree in Pharmacology at the University of Arizona in 1974. During my academic endeavors I was privileged to work with a Doctoral candidate, Mr. Hugh Laird. Dr. Laird and I participated in a grant awarded to the Univ. of AZ (Tucson) from the Indian Health Institute. Our task was to determine the antidotal treatment for Isoniazid poisoning. Isoniazid is a tuberculostatic drug, and while effective against Tuberculosis (TB) now has to be combined with other drugs because of the resistant strains of TB. In short, a part of the antidotal treatment for Isoniazid poisoning is administering pyridoxine, vitamin B6. This began my research on nutrient depletion from chronic exposure to drugs. However this summary report is designed to focus on vitamin B6, and its ability to protect our organs. [Research for same compiled in July 2009 publication by the Life Extension Foundation.]

Athletes need to be extremely aware of their diet. After all, playing sports requires that a person have speed, flexibility, strength, and agility as well as stamina. Athletes generally focus on building up their stamina and their strength but forget the benefits of nutrition and flexibility.
