The Power of Antioxidants
According to a study in The Journal of Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, people who took multivitamins with antioxidants for three weeks were able to pedal at the same pace with less effort than those who took a placebo. Antioxidants protect muscle proteins from free-radical damage that can lead to fatigue. Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods and supplements which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our cells use oxygen, they produce free radicals which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical fighters" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.

ReplyDeleteLauren! I tried to register a customer profile, but when I clicked on the link all I got was a white screen. Is the site active yet? Just let me know! Mallory
ReplyDeleteThanks Virginia! I thought it was pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteHey Mal! I'm not sure what happened when you tried to register, but the site is active. To find the Login button, you can click on "Lauren G's shop" in the instructions on how to create an account or simply visit: shop.funfitandfabulous.com then click on login on the very top of the page! Let me know if that doesn't work! Thanks for letting me know about the weird link.
Alright, starting to feel like this has to be user error! I still get nothing when I try to go to your "shop page." It's just a white screen! Any ideas?! I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteHmm that is so strange! I've tried it on three different computers and it's worked for me. I don't think it's user error maybe it's just your computers error.
ReplyDeleteMallory- I got it to work for me. Try going from a product to checkout. when you get to the checkout screen you have an option to register. This was wayy easier than trying to register first!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your help! I finally got it to work today :)
