Want to Improve Your Athletic Endurance?

Do you get tired after playing a set of tennis or jogging around the block? Find it hard to bike as far and as fast as you used to? If so, don't despair. It happens to everyone.

As we age, our bodies experience a general decline in muscle strength and flexibility. Bones lose calcium, which can cause them to weaken, thereby increasing the risk for fractures and osteoporosis. Motor nerves begin to deteriorate, thus slowing reaction time, and our metabolic rate slows down, making it more difficult to keep off excess weight.

If these declines are a natural fact of life, you may wonder how professional athletes in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond still manage to win races and competitions, beating out contestants half their age. It is simple really. They follow their trainers' advice to live a healthy lifestyle. They watch what they eat, drink plenty of water and stay active.  

Want to feel refreshed and energized every day like they do? You should do the same.

* Get active
More than 50 percent of American men and women do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. For adults, 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week is recommended. But that doesn't mean you have to work out at the gym. There are a lot more fun ways to stay in shape and feel good. Bicycle riding, dancing, gardening, swimming, walking and jogging all fit the bill.

* Drink enough water
Ever notice how lifeless a house plant looks when you forget to water it? Just a little water and it seems to perk back up. Water is just as essential for our bodies because it is in every cell, tissue and organ in your body. As a good rule of thumb, you should drink half your weight  in ounces per day. So If you weigh 150 pounds, strive to drink 75 ounces or 9 cups a day.

* Increase your antioxidant intake
You know the phrase, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away?" Well, there's more truth to this saying than you may think. The antioxidants in apples and other fruits make a huge difference when it comes to overall health. They give us energy, help produce blood cells and aid the body in getting rid of cell-destroying free radicals.

Unfortunately, however, it is impossible to get all the antioxidants we need through foods alone. That's where supplemental drinks like FRS (Free Radical Scavenger) come in.

The healthy, natural energy drink contains a blend of Quercetin, a natural antioxidant found in the skins of apples, blueberries and onions that allows the body to work more efficiently, and green tea extracts, which contain powerful antioxidants called catechin, which are more powerful than Vitamin C. The drink also contains Vitamins C and E, B Complex and Taurine, which helps support healthy muscle function and could aid the body in detoxifying harmful substances.

FRS is available in ready-to-drink cans, as a powder or concentrate liquid you mix on your own and as soft chews. It works best when taken regularly, twice a day, and 30 minutes before exercise.

Whether it's getting enough sleep, relaxing after a stressful day or enjoying a hobby, it's important to take time to be good to yourself. Take steps to balance work, home, and play. Pay attention to your health, and make healthy living a part of your life.
