Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Dear Bee- I have a question (and it may relate to nitric oxide production; as read on your website.) I find exercising in cold weather causes me to 'mouth breath' more rapidly, and lose power earlier than warmer weather exercise. Do you have any recommendations for exercise limits and snacks to have along the way for extra energy? (I'm thinking 20 mile bicycle trips in 30 degree weather.) BTW, I always carry coconut oil, to stay on schedule, but am carrying no extra body fat for insulation. In the meantime, I'll try humming. Best, michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want, or need, to exercise in cold weather? Why do you think nitric oxide production has anything to do with losing power earlier in cold weather? I do not recommend doing strenous exercise when your body needs all of its energy to heal, because: 1) Stenuous exercise mobilizes toxins which creates more detoxifying/healing reactions which are unnecessary; it is better to allow time for the body to detoxify itself in its own time and way rather than pushing it. 2) Strenuous exercise depletes the body of energy required for healing. That's why I recommend mild exercise such as dry skin brushing (or rebounding on a mini trampoline), walking, and others like Tha Chi, or mild yoga. Even massages and deep breathing act as mild forms of exercise. +++The best energy source is " good " fats, along with protein. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Dear Bee-I am a 'touring' cyclist not a racing cyclist, and have been riding/enjoying the scenery, since the age of four. I do find that cold weather riding, especially now, tires me more than it used to.I do believe it's part of a nitric oxide/ mouth breathing/ runny nose cycle, aside from the fact that I can't push myself the way I used to because of candida. Just trying to keep up with the hubby and our weekend hobby. Perhaps it's too much right now, but in October and warmer weather, it was fine. Here's a link as well as your own excellent articles.Best, Michele http://www.breathing.com/articles/nose-breathing.htm http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath2.php > > > > Dear Bee- I have a question (and it may relate to nitric oxide > > production; as read on your website.)
