Today I discovered Blk. Water at my local store. The product already has tons of celebrity endorsers. I am betting we will be seeing lots of this water in the future.
According to their site it is pronounced "blk.(bee • el • kay) n." and "blk is the first ever fulvic-enhanced all-natural mineral water. blk is what happens when fulvic trace minerals are added to pure water. blk is powerful electrolytes and a high pH. blk is serious hydration. blk is a delicious beverage without any sugar, carbs or calories."
Blk claims that their product contains fulvic minerals. What are fulvic minerals? "Organic minerals within the structures of prehistoric plants were deposited onto the surface of the earth, where they were combined with fulvic acids. This continued for millions of years, gradually forming rare Fulvic Mineral deposits"
In addition to the minerals it is also Ph balanced for your body and we all know how important that is in water and for the body. I give this product a 5 star Train It Right Rating and will definitely be drinking lots of it.
The Truth On Health website was launched by non other than Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics. According to the sites information Pierce founded The Truth Fund in 2002 to provide educational and life-enriching opportunities for under-served youth. Pierce launched The Truth on Health Campaign to help empower and encourage young people to lead healthier lifestyles. The Truth on Health includes an awareness campaign and sustainable programming for young people to live healthy lifestyles – incorporating physical fitness and healthy eating, and encouraging a commitment/pledge of 60 minutes per day dedicated to physical activity.
Its always great to see athletes such as pierce giving back to the community in a positive way like promoting health and fitness. We've got to give our props to Paul because he is definitely "Training It Right!"
Most are confuse when it comes to protein shakes and supplementing. Are they for weight loss? Toning? Bulking up? Are they safe? The answer is they are safe and you can use shakes for anything you want. The outcome is determined by your exercise regime and what you are putting in your shakes to make them low or high in calories.
If you are looking to tone or lose weight you can supplement shakes in addition to a good clean diet that is full of lean meats and vegetables. For this goal you should also be lifting weights to create lean muscle three to five times a week with high reps. You should also be doing cardio intervals five to six times a week. The shakes should be kept low in calories so find a good tasting clean protein and mix with just water, soy, milk, or almond milk.
If you are looking to add more mass to your body you should be lifting a heavier weight and keep the reps low. Add more calories to your shakes if you want to bulk up and mix it in fruits and veggies. You can use gainer instead to further increase the calories to bulk or for those of you needing more calories throughout the day if you are athletic.
I recommend Rivalus products. They are a Canadian based company, taste great, clean and scientifically tested. It is important to make sure the protein that you are taking is clean and safe. Not all products are tested so be careful with which ones you choose.
