Unique Benefits of WalkaWeigh
D-Ribose is involved at a
cellular level in the production of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP), the
body’s main fuel source. Increasing D-Ribose has been scientifically proven to
increase the availability of ATP. Depletion of Ribose leads to fatigue
and decreased athletic performance, due to the breakdown of the energy
supply within the body.
Ribose is being used to help
to strengthen muscular activity, enhancing athletic performance,
recovery from physical activity, and to increase energy levels. D-ribose
is a simple, 5-carbon monosaccharide, or pentose sugar. All the
necessary compounds for life are made in the body through a series of
complicated biochemical metabolic pathways. Ribose is no different. In
the body, ribose is made from glucose (a simple 6-carbon sugar) through a
pathway called the Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) or Hexose
Monophosphate Shunt (HMS). Unfortunately, in heart and muscle cells
important enzymes that regulate the activity of this pathway are
lacking. As such, forming ribose in heart and muscle cells is a slow
process. As a result heart and muscle tissues are unable to replace
energy pools quickly once they have been depleted by disease or
exercise. It has also been used to restore energy levels after intense
exercise. While ribose is a naturally occurring substance throughout the
body, it is not with significant concentration in any food. Ribose must
be supplemented to have a significant effect.

- Helps
reduces the craving (Appetite) for Carbohydrates.
- Balances elevated Blood Sugar (by up to 50%).
-
Improves the health of people who regularly
subject themselves to strenuous exercise.
-
Counteracts the Acidosis (resulting from Lactic
Acid production) that often occurs as a result of strenuous exercise.
-
Prevents the breakdown of Proteins within the
Muscles during and after intensive exercise.
Glutamine
counteracts the loss of Muscle mass that often occurs after strenuous
Exercise.
l-Carnitine is responsible for transporting
fats (long chain fatty acids to be precise) into the mitochondria so
they can be burned or "oxidized” to produce energy. When there is a
deficiency of this compound, fat oxidation is impaired and energy
production slows. Effects on muscle: l-Carnitine is probably best known
for its effects on skeletal muscle. l-Carnitine sensitizes muscle to the
hormone insulin. This results in an increased uptake and utilization of
sugar from the blood. Supplementation with this compound also reduces
the build up of lactic that otherwise occurs under anaerobic conditions
and prevents the accumulation of fat in muscle tissues. These actions
translate into enhanced muscular performance, reduced fatigue and
improved recovery with a decrease in muscle pain and tenderness
following exercise. Combined with an overall boost in energy production
these positive effects on muscle may facilitate weight loss by making
those who take supplements more likely to engage in an exercise program.
Helps mop up excess oxidative stress, helping prevent
inflammation and cellular damage. Because free radicals are generated
during the process of energy production that occurs in the mitochondria,
the mitochondria are particularly susceptible to such damage. Damage to
mitochondria leads to decreased energy production and may contribute to
the development of a number of diseases as well as to aging itself.
Inositol
effectively promotes the body's production of lecithin. Lecithin helps
move fats from the liver to the cells. This
means inositol aids in
the nervous system, supports metabolism of fats and reduces cholesterol.
Magnesium is an essential element which
influences many enzymes needed to produce cellular energy and nerve and muscle message transmission. It affects
nervous, muscular and cardiovascular systems. Magnesium is the fourth
most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. In
humans it is found in bones, teeth and red blood cells, magnesium
activates many enzyme systems (such as those involved in protein
digestion and energy production). Magnesium in the amino acid chelate
form, such as Magnesium Aspartate, is twice as well absorbed as other
forms of magnesium. Additionally, chelated minerals are far more
bio-available making them the superior choice for supplement purposes.
Magnesium facilitates the conversion of endogenous Glucose
(blood sugar) into energy (due to its role in the production of
Adenosine Triphosphate). Magnesium improves Athletic Performance (via
ATP production).
The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin
polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a
powerful anti-oxidant.
Green Tea helps
stimulate the Metabolism & accelerate Weight Loss
Green tea contains powerful antioxidants called catechin
polyphenols that are responsible for many of the health benefits of
green tea. One of them in particular, epigallocatechin gallate (or EGCG
for short), has been found to stimulate the metabolism and may
accelerate weight loss. EGCG in green tea stimulates the central nervous
system and causes fat to be released into the blood stream for the body
to use as fuel. This process of fat being used for energy is called
"thermogenesis”. It provides extra energy, sheds excess water, and also
helps to burn body fat. Although caffeine alone can stimulate the
metabolism this way, it’s important to note that researchers found that
green tea was much more effective at this process than just caffeine by
itself.
Green Tea Helps You
Exercise Longer
Everyone knows how important exercise is to losing weight. It
burns calories, increases your energy, and builds muscle which in turn
boosts your metabolism even higher. The catechin polyphenols in green
tea appear to stimulate the use of fatty acids by liver and muscle
cells. This subsequently reduces the rate that carbohydrates are used
and allows for more endurance and longer exercise times.
