Continued from Part I

As we saw in part one of this series, once athletes get to a certain level in their training, the strength of their bio-electrical current is what makes the difference for explosive strength and power. But how does this current, created through electron transfer and donation, travel through the body? One of the key answers is through the nervous system: using a form of electrical current (called action potential) the brain communicates via the spinal cord to the muscles, and vice versa. This provides the second key to building maximum strength and power for athletes: a strong, healthy central and autonomic nervous system is vital for optimal athletic performance. Why? There are two main reasons.

First, virtually all physical exercise relies on a stabilization of the spinal cord area (the spinal cord, along with the brain, makes up the Central Nervous System). If your spine is sublexated or compressed, you’re going to have a weakness or an imbalance in the physical structure, which will then deplete and interfere with your expression of strength and explosive capacity. Chiropractors have long known that misaligned spines lead to poor conduction of current flow to the rest of the body. The nodes on the spinal cord (the nodes of Ranvier) function like local electrical substations, and need to be unimpeded to distribute current properly. The stronger the spinal area, the more current can move through the body, resulting in more strength and explosive power.

The second reason has to do with the mental aspect of sports. The brain is what directs the body, and in order to achieve quicker reaction times, the brain has to be able move information faster through spine and the autonomous nervous system to reach the muscles. When an athlete’s brain is inundated by electrical depletions, it becomes distracted by these imbalances as it attempts to bring itself back towards homeostasis, or a balanced state. Athletes have to be extremely focused on their sport, and mental imbalances can interfere with performance. Greater electrical power and explosiveness depend on a strong brain with an open flow through the spinal cord.

So how can we cultivate a strong brain, spinal cord and autonomous nervous system?

As we’ve seen, the brain, spinal cord, and the entire nervous system work and communicate through current. To strengthen these areas, we need to increase and balance the current flow. Life Health Secrets has developed Maxodin specifically to balance the autonomous and central nervous system. Maxodin strengthens spinal current, thus enhancing current throughout the entire nervous system and allowing for neurological energy to freely cycle back and forth between the brain and muscles, increasing reaction speed. Current also allows for circulation, which in turn enables the brain to metabolize and absorb its functional nutrients properly, leading to increased brain power – enhanced focus, concentration, and attention. For the dedicated athlete, the overall effect is a noticeable enhancement in explosive power and strength, especially when combined with the respiration enhancing GSH-Ignite.
