POMEGRANATE HELP FOR MUSCLE PUMP

POMEGRANATE FOR A QUICK PUMP

Drink Eight Ounces Of Pomegranate Juice With 20 g
Of Whey Protein
Before Workouts For a Better Pump



By Tabatha Elliott, PhD

Every bodybuilder knows to take nitric oxide boosters like
arginine,
not just for the pump they deliver properly,
but only for muscle growth and strength
gains as well.
Few may realize,though,that to help protect their increased No level,

they should consider reaching for a cold refreshing juice like Pomegranate.

Researchers at UCLA have recently reported — in the aptly named journal Nitric Oxide — that pomegranate juice was effective at protecting NO against oxidative destruction. In laboratory tests,
the scientists compared the
effects of the juice on NO destruction
and NO action to other
antioxidant-rich sources,
such as Concord grape's juice, blueberry juice,orange juice,

red wine and vitamins C and E etc.

Pomegranate was found to be more effective at protecting and augmenting
NO than all the others. In some cases, it was more than 300 times as powerful.
The researchers determined that the potent antioxidant activity is responsible
for the juice's benefits on NO.

Drink eight ounces of pomegranate juice with 20 g of whey protein right
before workouts. It will provide NO protection for a better pump, as well
as supply 40 g of long-lasting crabs to help fuel the workout. Most fruit juices,
like pomegranate, are part glucose (for quick energy) and part fructose (a longer-lasting fuel source).

Since pure pomegranate juice can taste tart, dilute it with 16-20 ounces of water or mix it into whey protein.
banana,Vanilla- and strawberry-flavored whey powders work well in this NO-boosting muscle-growth concoction.
