Take Your Recovery to a Completely New Level with this Age Old Nutrient


Arnold Schwarzenegger once described "the pump,” the feeling of your muscles filling up with oxygenated blood, as an experience superior to that of orgasm. While we won’t go so far as to validate those claims, the feeling you get at the end of a workout is undeniably euphoric. Your muscles swell up with blood, every contraction or extension aches and burns due to the lactic acid accumulation. You can literally feel your body beginning to repair itself and grow stronger.
One of the most critical components to sports training for ANY athlete is recovering after a workout. While it’s difficult to take a day off to let your body repair itself, it is absolutely vital in order to replenish your oxygen and glycogen stores and avoid overtraining. The process of breaking down your muscle fibers and then allowing them to rest is the only way to make them bigger and stronger.
During exercise, your blood vessels dilate and your heart rate increases to allow more oxygen-rich blood into your muscles. After a certain point, you reach your oxygen threshold and oxygen inhaled through the lungs simply cannot be supplied to your muscles fast enough. Your body begins to pull any remaining oxygen from your muscle cells to keep up, resulting in an oxygen debt. You have now consumed too much of your body’s available supply of oxygen and must begin to pay it back.
Because of the lack of oxygen, your muscles can no longer generate fresh ATP, your muscle’s primary fuel source, and lactic acid begins to accumulate in its place. Lactic acid is what causes you to feel the burning sensation towards the end of the workout. It causes each muscle contraction to feel like a major effort.
Once you start recovery, all of these things must be brought back to their equilibrium state. As you breathe, fresh oxygen enters the bloodstream and is pumped to the muscles to begin reconstructing the fibers that were broken down. With any recovery there are four things that must take place:
  1. ATP stores must be replenished
  2. Lactic acid must be metabolized
  3. Myoglobin (oxygen binding proteins found in muscle fibers) must be replenished with oxygen
  4. Glycogen levels must be restored
Your digestive system replenishes glycogen stores by turning food into sugar and storing it in your muscles. The oxygen supply that was robbed from your myoglobin must now be paid back through steady respiration or breathing. This new oxygen reacts with the glycogen in your muscles to create ATP. Fresh oxygen also metabolizes lactic acid in the kidneys and liver and converts it back to pyruvic acid which can again be broken down to release more ATP.
All of these recovery processes hinge on your oxygen intake. In fact, oxygen consumption is highest immediately after exercise, and gradually tapers off as you recover. This is because your body is trying to replace the oxygen that was used up during training. Studies have shown your oxygen consumption remains elevated up to 38 hours after exercise to help make up your oxygen debt.
With all things considered, OXYGEN is undeniably the most important factor in the recovery process. The ambient air around us is often less than 20% oxygen. When you consume concentrated supplemental oxygen, after a tough workout your recovery is supercharged since your oxygen intake is maximized.
Effective oxygen supplementation was once prohibitively expensive and limited to elite level athletes because it required a doctor's prescription and supervision. However, industry advances have made recreational oxygen available in small portable cans that allow you to flood your body with high amounts of oxygen at any time, which can have a dramatic impact on your recovery.

200-year-old shipwreck found in Gulf of Mexico


An oil company exploration crew's chance discovery of a 200-year-old shipwreck in a little-charted stretch of the Gulf of Mexico is yielding a trove of new information to scientists who say it's one of the most well-preserved old wrecks ever found in the Gulf.
"When we saw it we were all just astonished because it was beautifully preserved, and by that I mean for a 200-year-old shipwreck," said Jack Irion, maritime archaeologist with the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in New Orleans.
Video shows muskets and gin bottles littering the Gulf bottom, along with sea life mingling in the wreck.
Scientists say the ship is about 200 miles off the northern Gulf coast and about 4,000 feet deep. The depth has kept it largely undisturbed during two centuries of storms and hurricanes. And although most of the ship's wood dissolved long ago, the copper hull and its contents remain in place.
"The wood is deteriorated. It's largely been eaten away by marine organisms, but what is left is a copper shell which would have been the lower part of the hull which was sheathed in copper to protect it," Irion said.
'Very few shipwrecks have been found that still have the stove intact.'
- Jack Irion, maritime archaeologist
Among the wreckage were "a rather astonishing number of bottles," particularly square gin bottles known as case bottles, as well as wine bottles, Irion said.
There were many ceramic cups, plates and bowls that didn't appear to be cargo. Some were green shell-edged pearl ware, a British import popular in the United States between 1800 and 1830.
The ship's kitchen stove was found intact.
"Very few shipwrecks have been found that still have the stove intact," Irion said. "You can very clearly see the features of the stove. It's in rather good shape."
Also discovered were an anchor, cannons and muskets. Irion said researchers have not yet determined whether it was a merchant, military or pirate ship.
There was plenty of pirate and military activity in the Gulf at the time, surrounding the War of 1812, the Texas revolution and the Mexican-American War. The buccaneer Jean Lafitte and other pirates sailed the Gulf to smuggle goods into New Orleans, Galveston, Texas, and elsewhere.
"It was actually a fairly hazardous place to be if you were a merchant ship, so it was not unlikely that you would be carrying a cannon on board to protect yourself," Irion said.
Researchers believe the ship likely sank during a storm.
"We haven't seen any evidence of burning, or explosions or cannon shot. That's obvious, so we strongly suspect that it was likely a hurricane or another strong storm and it simply foundered at sea and vanished without a trace and was never reported missing," Irion said.
The shipwreck site was noticed as an "unknown sonar contact" during an oil and gas survey last year by Shell Oil Co. Shell reported it to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which teamed with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to survey the site.
The federal agencies used robots and high-definition cameras during a 56-day expedition by the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer that ended April 29.
The underwater video was transmitted live via satellite to maritime archaeologists, scientists and resource managers from Texas to Rhode Island.
BOEM is protecting and preserving the site until it's determined what country the vessel is from.
So far, none of the wreckage or cargo has been brought up -- and it might never be. The authorities want to explore as much as they can before making that decision.
Frank Cantelas, a maritime archaeologist for NOAA, said the site was one of four explored in the Gulf last month. He said the agency also intends to study the sea life at the site, because deep sea shipwrecks often serve as habitats for marine life.
Researchers wouldn't disclose the precise location of the wreck, citing concerns over possible plundering or disturbing the site.
"One thing that we want to stress is ships have a monetary value, but they also have to us a historical value that goes way beyond that," Irion said. "What this can tell us is a very interesting story about our past, about the history of the Gulf of Mexico, about how important the Gulf of Mexico was to the beginnings of the United States."
The wreckage can also give insight to the lives of the crew, where they had been, where they were going and their role in the economy and world history.
"It's as if we get a glimpse into what their lives were like, like a time capsule," Irion said.

Super Powerful Oxygen4Energy


Oxygen4Energy
It seems that every stimulant to help you gain energy and performance in your workout has drawbacks, either extra sugars which turn into fat or caffeine which leaves you out of energy faster once you’ve peaked. However, there is one source that runners, the bodybuilder and even those in search of hangover relief can turn to for an instant energy boost with no downsides. Oxygen4Energy uses pure oxygen to help increase your overall energy without any sugars, calories, side effects or crashing that is common with all other forms of stimulants.
Consider that oxygen4Energy introduces pure oxygen into your system that combines with glucose to create the primary source of energy for your muscles, ATP. The more ATP you have, the more powerful and explosive you will be which is great for workouts, jogging or other forms of physical exercise when your muscles need an added boost with no side effects to get the best results. Oxygen4Energy is the simple, easy to use substance that will help get you the results you need.
Breathing oxygen is natural and what we all do several times a minute every day of our lives. But our breathing oxygen is also combined with nitrogen and other elements in the air that reduce the effectiveness of getting the much needed oxygen into our bloodstream. Now consider a product that remedies that effect by proving a more pure form of oxygen that can be absorbed quickly and give us the boost we need when working out or providing the hangover relief after much needed exercise.
Oxygen4Energy helps supplement your muscles to what they need most, especially when working out. When you consider that if your muscles do not get enough oxygen, they start producing lactic acid which generates the feelings of fatigue. When you increase the oxygen content to your muscles the lactic acid slows down in production so you will experience less muscle fatigue. For the bodybuilder, runners, cross trainers and others who are engaged in an exercise routine, this means you can extend your workout longer and get even more out of it.
Not only does Oxygen4Energy help you during your workout, it also assists your muscles after you have finished by helping your liver to metabolize the lactic acid that was generated. Now your muscles can recover more quickly and you feel less fatigue after completing a grueling workout routine. No wonder so many top athletes use oxygen to help get the most out of their workouts. From swimmers to weightlifters to runners, Oxygen4Energy is the one, true boost to your workout that has zero side effects and helps you improve your overall performance and reduce the fatigue and muscle failure that commonly occurs.
You can find more information about Oxygen4Energy and the powerful effects it has at http://www.oxygen4energy.com/homepage3 and at http://oxygen2wealth.com/ Which show you just how oxygen is the choice of top level athletes as well as those just wanting to get into shape. Why wait? Relief from muscle fatigue and the pure performance boost is only a mouse click away

Oxygen4Energy: The Company.........




Oxygen4Energy: The Company
Oxygen4Energy is a new company so you won’t here a lot of success stories. The product however, is endorsed by some of the top athletes including Hall of Fame Bodybuilder Shawn Ray and the 2010 Masters National Champion 200m Sprinter David Jones. You will also find testimonials on the company website from pro athletes, sports and fitness lovers and everyday people. The company claims that portable oxygen in a can is destined to be the next bottled water. Furthermore, they claim that this is destined to be the next dominant product in the health supplement industry and if you get involved with the company now, you will be in position to capitalize on this growth.
Oxygen4Energy: The Product
The Oxygen4Energy product is tru02 oxygen enriched air and comes in a convenient sized lightweight can. They claim this could help athletes by allowing them to flood their body with supplemental oxygen anytime they need to and also have a dramatic impact on their performance. They also claim that seniors could benefit also by helping improve their lives by giving them the oxygen their bodies are craving. Their website clearly states that this product is “Not for Medical Use” and is not intended to treat, cure or prevent diseases. The product is currently shipped in the Continental U.S. by UPS Ground only because by law, tru02 cannot be shipped by air.
Oxygen4Energy: The Founder
After selling oxygen products for two years strictly through e-commerce, Oxygen4Energy founder Craig Inaba decided to join forces with the premiere oxygen in a can manufacturer in the U.S. owned and operated by Jeffrey L. Perlmutter. In case you were wondering, this is the guy that created a $500 million industry by pioneering the sport of Paintball. They decided that creating a New Network Marketing Platform would be the most effective way to get the product out to the consumer. By creating a multi-level business opportunity, they would have their members promoting the product as well.
Oxygen4Energy: The Compensation Plan
Oxygen4Energy offers a business opportunity for people to generate income by sharing the product with others. If you become an independent distributor you will receive these benefits. You can purchase the product for up to 49% off MSRP for resell or personal use. You will be able to earn profits from retail sells. You can earn 20% commission on any referred sales from your personal company website. You can also refer other distributors, build a team and earn commission on the sales generated by your entire team through unlimited levels. Does this company have what it takes for long-term industry success? In my opinion, the product is good and the potential is there, but as the old saying goes, only time will tell.
Oxygen4Energy: The Conclusion
Will you have success with the Oxygen4Energy opportunity? As I said before they do offer a personalized company website to help you promote the product. However, the company training is almost non-existent. You will need to know how to market  your new business. The health supplement industry is very saturated. If you can generate a steady flow of high quality leads and teach these leads duplication, success is possible. You will have to build a huge organization, and I do mean huge, in order to max-out the compensation plan. Building a business takes a lot of hard work, but if you stay focused, success is possible. So if Oxygen4Energy gets you excited, then by all means, go out and build yourself a legacy
