Initially, I posted this in the Martial Arts section; didn't get any hits, so I was wondering if anyone had any insight or experience in this area...
---> Seems a lot of fighters these days are into this; in the recent issue of BlackBelt mag, Couture is quoted as saying:
"I'm taking some excellent new supplements and use a high alkaline diet with whole foods and a lot of grains..." Couture is known for his conditioning, and wouldn't fuck around and waste his time with garbage. At 42 years old, he just can't afford it.
A MMA school I train at has their professional fighters on a high alkaline diet. A lot of hype these days about it on other websites.
Initially, I thought it was just tree-hugger bullshit or a pure fad; after reading an article by Berardi here, I'm wondering if there's a significant benefit to it.
Anyone else have any experience with this? Heard the good, the bad? Other articles?
