FITNESSMEMBER.COM SEPTEMBER 9, 2011 0

Regular high doses of vitamins C and E after sports training block beneficial effects of exercise, the team found Dr. Michael Ristov University of Jena, quoted by the BBC and “Daily Telegraph”.

Some doctors believe that antioxidants like vitamins C and E protect the body from harmful chemicals that are formed in the body after strenuous exercise.

German expert, however, argue that “free radicals” are actually good for the body and even prevent diabetes. Their withdrawal with antioxidants may be more harmful than helpful.

After study of two groups of 20 men, Dr. Ristov and his colleagues discovered that free radicals, which cause so “Oxidative stress” can have a positive effect on the body, increasing its sensitivity to insulin.

It is known that in patients with type 2 diabetes reduces the sensitivity.

Rather than take vitamin supplements researchers recommend that people consume a healthy and varied diet. It will provide the necessary nutrients and not to impose acceptance of additional vitamins.
