L-glutamine is the most plentiful amino acid found in the human body. This important amino acid is made by the body but during times of heavy exercise of injury, your body may need more L-glutamine than it can produce. Most L-glutamine in your body is stored in the muscles and lungs, where most is made. 

 

So what does L-glutamine actually do in your body? This amino acid is an important factor in a range of things going on within your body. When it comes to removing excess ammonia in your body, L-glutamine has got you covered. It supports the function of your immune system, assists with brain function and digestion. L-glutamine makes protein for muscle tissue, fuels cells that protect our intestines, and helps detoxify the liver of foreign substances. So if you add extra L-glutamine into your diet, what are the benefits? And what does it do for your body? Let’s take a look!

 

Gastrointestinal and Immune System 

 

L-glutamine benefits your overall health by supporting both gut function and your digestive process. L-glutamine can reduce intestinal inflammation and help people recover from food sensitivities. Also, it plays a key role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiota. L-glutamine can help reduce intestinal colonization and bacterial overgrowth of pathogens which can result in widespread gut issues (i.e weight gain and constipation). 

 

Muscle Recovery

 

L-glutamine is important when it comes to maintaining muscle protein. In the supplement space, L-glutamine was first believed to be used for muscle gain and fat burning. While scientists continue to study these claims, it may help reduce muscle fatigue and exercise recovery. Studies have shown that when supplementing with L-glutamine, athletes had less muscle soreness and strength loss. 

 

Food Sources

 

As mentioned before, L-glutamine is naturally produced in the body for those who workout a lot or need the extra L-glutamine for extra immune and gut support, there are plenty of foods that offer L-glutamine. These foods include: 

 

 

Another place to get a great source of  L-glutamine is from our line of beverages. So if you are not a fan of the listed foods above, crack open a FITAID and we got you covered when it comes to getting that extra L-glutamine in your daily diet! Have a favorite LIFEAID product?

Anyone who has had a baby or has grown their family in some way or another can tell you - motherhood can be TOUGH. While we know it will have its challenges, it really is nothing like what the mom-fluencers on IG have led us to believe motherhood looks like (those sparkling white homes with kids in perfectly clean, wrinkle free outfits? Hahaha!).

There were a few tips I received early in my motherhood days that have really helped me when times were extra tough. I wanted to share them with you all, and hopefully at least one of these resonates a bit with you and your kiddos!

1. The mantra “This is important.”

I absolutely love this tip. Someone sent an Instagram post to me discussing this very idea, and I swear, reading it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. So often in motherhood, it can feel like we aren’t doing enough, or not doing the right thing. Sometimes the day will end, and I’ll wonder, what did I even accomplish today? While some days I feel like a taskmaster, there are other days that just seem to slip through my fingers.

The point of this mantra - whatever you are choosing to do with your day is important. In the examples from this particular post, she said, “Feeding the baby for the 100th time? ‘This is important.’” “Cuddling with my toddler while he watches Daniel Tiger? ‘This is important.’” “Sweeping the floor? ‘This is important.’” “Making dinner? ‘This is important.’” “Taking a quick moment to rest while my kids play on the floor? ‘This is important.’”

The little things matter just as much as the big ones do. Taking time to care for yourself, your family, and your home are all things that matter and are important.

2. If we can’t regulate our emotions, how can our toddler?

Photo courtesy of genmindful.com

While this concept is pretty obvious, it honestly kind of blew my mind the first time I thought about it. Having twins that are now in the depths of the terrible twos… my patience is tested daily. And by daily, I mean, by about 6:30am every day.

I am not proud of it, but I used to find myself getting so frustrated and then snapping at my kids. The complete meltdowns over absolutely nothing, the constant fighting, the whining…. OH THE WHINING. And then one day while chatting with a mama friend, she reminded me - how can my kids calm down when *I* am not calm? How can I expect my two year olds to regulate their emotions, when their 30-something year old mother can’t even handle that?

It was a huge wake-up call. It definitely has not changed overnight, and it certainly is still a work in progress, but I am always reminding myself that I need to be their calm in the storm. I need to model how to regulate emotions so when they are more emotionally developed and mature, they can do the same. As so many quotes say - your kids aren’t giving you a hard time, they are HAVING a hard time.

3. There is no one “right way” to do ANYTHING.

Photo courtesy of nypost.com

When entering into the incredible world of motherhood, it seems like opinions and well-intended suggestions are being thrown in your direction at any given time. What your baby/child’s sleep habits are like, whether you’re nursing or formula feeding, what your plans are for switching to solids, the best methods for potty training, etc. Sometimes, sharing your plans can be met with skepticism from others who think they know “the best way”.

Mama - YOUR way is the best way! What works for one family, may not be a match for yours. Even for moms with multiple kids, they will tell you - what worked great for one kid might not work with another. Finding what is the best match for YOU, and your family - that is the best method of raising your kids. There is no one clear answer on what is best for approaching anything, including sleep training, weaning, etc.

Those are three of the best tips I received as a new mom that actually helped! What are some of the best pieces of advice you have received, or what you share with others?

Anyone who has had a baby or has grown their family in some way or another can tell you – motherhood can be TOUGH. While we know it will have its challenges, it really is nothing like what the mom-fluencers on IG have led us to believe motherhood looks like (those sparkling white homes with […]

Nobody goes to the court and plays just one match of pickleball. Before you know it, you're 4 or 5 matches in or 15 games deep and you still want to keep playing. Oh, and you want to come back to the court tomorrow because you're having that much fun. Well in order to keep playing at a high level, you must take your recovery very seriously. 

Get a good night’s rest

This is the most important factor when it comes to recovering from a long day of Pickleballing. Sleep gives our bodies the time to rest and recharge for the day ahead. Ensure that you can sleep for a good eight to ten hours after playing a couple matches of Pickleball. 

Practice yoga or light stretching

After that match of Pickleball, do not just go sit down. This is the perfect time to stretch out and improve flexibility. Stretching helps your body cool down because going from exerting a lot of energy to a complete rest can shock your body and make it harder to feel loose the next day. Also, implementing yoga into your weekly activities can keep your muscles loose so you can be sure to not pull or tweak anything while playing Pickleball. So, always remember to get those stretches in to ensure your body is loose and your muscles are properly recovering. 

Maintain a healthy diet 

Your body needs a good diet to have all the right vitamins and minerals to play Pickleball at a high level. You get out what you put in and if you're putting junk in your body, your Pickleball game will be junk. Be sure to stay up on protein,  fruits, vegetables, and carbs so that you do not feel drained after a long day of Pickleball matches. 

Foam Roll 

Foam rolling any knots or trigger points can be huge to help you recover. Foam rollers are used for self-myofascial release (SMR) and can relieve any tension in minutes. By adding a foam roller to your recovery process, you can recover faster and keep your muscles feeling relaxed. 

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate 

I can not say this enough but hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Pickleball is a sport that can take a lot out of you, especially if you are playing outside, under the sun, in high temperatures. To avoid dehydration, it is important to keep your hydration levels up. Water helps to flush toxins out of your body, transport nutrients into the cells, and regulate your body temperature and pH balance. It can also help with muscle soreness and tension.

More importantly, after you have hydrated your body with water, chase that down with an ice-cold FITAID! FITAID has all the essential vitamins and ingredients to help your body fully recover and the best part, it tastes great!

The LIFEAID team sat down with Pro Pickleball player Tanner Wallace and got to know a little more about him and his love for Pickleball. 

When and why did you start playing Pickleball?

“I started playing pickleball in 2019. I was in Florida on my college spring break with my family. A guy named Adam or better known as Eddie in the pickleball community showed my family this sport at the place we were staying at. Since then I came back home to Michigan and did not pick the paddle back up for around 6 months. Then picked it back up after I finished my college soccer career as I needed to stay active. I then became hooked and traveled to tournaments around the country. This sport is great for anyone old or young, anyone can play with anyone.”

Advice for anyone who has never played pickleball?

“My advice for a new pickleball player is to have fun with it. Learn the rules and watch videos on the sport to get a better understanding. As a new player you do not need the best equipment to start off but as the addiction to pickleball begins you will want to obtain better equipment to keep up with the competition. Consistency is key for this sport as well as patience”

What makes pickleball such an exciting sport?

“I think what makes pickleball such an exciting sport is the way that anyone can pick up a paddle and keep a rally going. It is so easy to play and get better at. You have a great community of players as well, no one I have met is mean. When going to a tournament it is like a party and that is what makes it fun.”

Any advice for a young pickleball player looking to go pro?

“As someone who wants to go pro, you will need to know a few things upfront. One, there is a lot of practice and time that goes into learning the game and the correct shots to use at the right time. Another is the money. It is very expensive to become a pro as you will have to travel a lot. I believe a Pro right now spoke and said that it cost around $26,000 a year for him to play in all the tournaments. But with that being said sponsors like FitAid are coming into this sport and it may get better as more sponsors come into the sport. One thing I will recommend that I am doing myself is to start at your actual rating and move up as you win gold. I started at 3.5 and have moved up all the way to pro. Don’t Rush the process and it will help in the long run.”

Most memorable pickleball moment?

“My most memorable moment so far in my pickleball career is playing in a local tournament with my dad. We played in an advanced bracket tournament full of 4.0 and up. We got second but being able to play alongside my dad was great. Even though I have medaled at many great tournaments my favorite was still the one playing with my dad. Family is important to me and this was a memory I will cherish forever.”

Are there any pickleball players you look up to?

“When I first started playing pickleball Kyle Yates was the GUY! He was my Idol and it was cool to meet him as well at a tournament I went to in Punta Gorda Florida. I think that even though Kyle is no longer at the top I still think he is my favorite as I have tried to resemble my game to his just with a few more Ernie shots in my portfolio.”

Would you rather play inside or outside?

“I prefer to play outside at local parks and the reason for this is because I want to practice for tournaments. Most tournaments are outside but living in Michigan it is hard to play outside year-round.”

What is your go-to recovery after every Pickleball match?

“My favorite recovery drink is LifeAid. Now, why is that? It is because it is the best thing for you after a long day on the court. This drink not only helps my body feel better but also tastes great. My favorite flavor so far is strawberry lemonade. I make sure to have this in my bag after every pickleball match. Before this drink, I always felt tired the next day and not being able to perform at my best. Trust me at tournaments in pickleball you want to feel your best as you have a long 3 days ahead of you. Without LifeAid I don’t think that I could be at my best after my first day at the tournament.”

Do you know what the fastest growing sport in America is? Have you not heard of Pickleball? Well good thing we can educate you on all things Pickleball. So…what is Pickleball?

Have you played tennis, badminton, or table tennis? If you have, then you have basically already played Pickleball. Pickleball is a hybrid sport that combines aspects of all three sports. This game can be played on a tennis court, gymnasium floor or in your neighborhood's cul de sac on good ole concrete. In other words, this game can virtually be played anywhere you can lay some lines down and design a court. The game of Pickleball uses paddles, not racquets, to hit a plastic wiffleball over a net. The court is 20 feet wide and 44 feet long, almost a ⅓ of a regulation size tennis court. 

The Court

Like mentioned before, the Pickleball court is 20 feet wide and 44 feet long. The court consists of two service squares and a non-volley zone known as the “kitchen.” Players are not allowed to volleyball the ball while standing in the kitchen as this is what separates Pickleball from tennis, badminton and table tennis. This allows for a safe space for the ball to land allowing people of all ages to compete together. 

The Pickle “Ball” 

The actual ball used to play Pickleball is none other than your standard wiffle ball. However, it depends on the surface in which you are playing. If you are playing outside on a hard surface, you should use a firmer wiffle ball. If playing indoors on a softer surface, there is a pickleball with less holes drilled into and not as firm. 

Gameplay

The gameplay of pickleball is pretty straightforward. This game, similar to tennis, can be played as either singles (1v1) or doubles (2v2). Games are played to 11, win by two, and a Pickleball match is played best 2 out of 3 games. To start a Pickleball game, one player serves the ball from behind the baseline into the diagonal service square on the other side of the net. When that ball is returned, the ball must bounce once before it can be played. From there, the game goes on like tennis. Points are earned when the ball is hit out of bounds, into the net, or bouncing twice. 

So grab some friends, grab a pickleball, some paddles, and head to your nearest pickleball court (I guarantee you there is one closer than you think!). And don’t forget to grab your FITAID to recover after a couple Pickleball matches! Are you in a Pickleball league? Tag us on Instagram with your favorite Pickleball stories! @FITAID

Santa Cruz, Calif., April, 1st, 2022 - LIFEAID, The Performance Beverage Company continues to disrupt the market with ground breaking products. Hot off the heels of a record setting ecomm performance of FOCUSAID Watermelon Mint in February; LIFEAID went back into the lab (or to the Pickleball courts) and fermented a recovery beverage for Pickleballing pickle people. PICKLEAID Prickly Pickle has been pickled in our warehouse and is ready to hit the shelves. To those traditionalists still stuck on boring tennis and complaining about tennis courts being crowded with Pickleball players, it’s only going to get worse! 

 

“Being that we are the #1 recovery beverage on the market, it was only right we added a pickle flavor to our portfolio. I mean who doesn’t enjoy a crisp, salty pickle at any time of the day. Pickle juice by itself is great for rehydration, especially after a Pickleball game. Take pickle juice, our proven and tested recovery blend, and BOOM! You single handedly have the best tasting recovery beverage on the market.” Says, LIFEAID Sports Division Marketing Coordinator, Brice McAllister. 

 

PICKLEAID Prickly Pickle includes all of the same great ingredients of the original FITAID blend including BCAAs, Turmeric, and is sweetened with raw organic blue agave with no artificial sweeteners. However, LIFEAID has put a spin on this mix for those pickle lovers out there. PICKLEAID Prickly Pickle is loaded with organic dill to give the beverage that authentic pickle flavor. Cloves of fresh garlic have been pressed and turned into liquid. LIFEAID usually does not add sodium to their beverages but artisanal vinegar and the finest of himalayan sea salts have been added to give it the perfect zesty blend . Cracking open an ice cold PICKLEAID is basically like biting into a rich and juicy pickle. Only difference is that you can shotgun a PICKLEAID. 

 

PICKLEAID was specifically designed for those athletes that protect their kitchen, have perfected the dink shot, and call the Pickledome their home.
