Keeping the body in perfect shape can be a difficult job sometimes. This is most especially true as temptations including sinful food, cigarettes, and alcohol have always been there. Furthermore, it is harder to manage things when you know to yourself that part of what you are dealing with is stress.
A mitochondria making energy.
I read a little article in LifeExtension magazine about a year ago. It was on the fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance Coenzyme-10, something I had always been interested in because of its importance in the creation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, 95% of our energy comes from this molecule) through the mitochondria. It also plays a significant role in protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage caused by the creation of ATP. Less damage measures out to greater efficiency of production of ATP. Many believe that mitochondrial aging (as measured by oxidative damage and cell death) may be directly linked to biological aging as well, so anything that can help this process would have significant athletic impacts. As a runner, this has always been why I am so intrigued by our mitochondria. What I found interesting about the article were the studies they did on using shilajit in conjunction with CoQ-10. My older brother had mentioned something about the two before this, but it didn’t really stick in my mind until I read that article. Since then I have eyeballed the coenzyme section in stores on multiple occasions. Only since I started training for ultramarathons recently did I consider finally giving this experiment a little go.
Let’s face it. Our environment is quite messed up. Our technological advances are pretty amazing. I love the fact that I can communicate with you through the computer even if you’re halfway across the world. But this has come at a cost, in what we’ve done to the environment and food supply.
The start of Charles Dickens’ famous book, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” certainly fits here.
