What is the optimal timing and dose of nitrate-containing vegetables, such as beets and spinach, for improving athletic performance?



How to Avoid Phosphate Additives

The vast majority of chicken and poultry products are injected with phosphorus preservatives, which are often not listed in the ingredients. Reducing one’s intake of meat, junk food, fast food, and processed cheese may help lower intake until labeling is mandated.
