“My general philosophy regarding endurance contains four key points: 1. Build a great aerobic base. This essential physical and metabolic foundation helps accomplish several important tasks: it prevents injury and maintains a balanced physical body; it increases fat burning for improved stamina, weight loss, and sustained energy; and it improves overall health in the immune and hormonal systems, the intestines and liver, and throughout the body. 2. Eat well. Specific foods influence the developing aerobic system, especially the foods consumed in the course of a typical day. Overall, diet can significantly influence your body’s physical, chemical, and mental state of fitness and health. 3. Reduce stress. Training and competition, combined with other lifestyle factors, can be stressful and adversely affect performance, cause injuries, and even lead to poor nutrition because they can disrupt the normal digestion and absorption of nutrients. 4. Improve brain function. The brain and entire nervous system control virtually all athletic activity, and a healthier brain produces a better athlete. Improved brain function occurs from eating well, controlling stress, and through sensory stimulation, which includes proper training and optimal breathing.”
Philip Maffetone, The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing

“Reducing excess body fat is best accomplished by avoiding junk food and eating healthy foods.”
Philip Maffetone, The Overfat Pandemic: Exposing the Problem and Its Simple Solution for Everyone Who Needs to Eliminate Excess Body Fat

“Sulforaphane, lipoic acid, and alpha-tocotrienol are powerful phytonutrients that can block the damage from free radicals. •   Glutathione, the body’s most potent antioxidant, can block the actions of nitrogen compounds. •   Flavanoids, gingerol, curcumin, sesamin and other nutrients in fresh, organic fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods can block the process of inflammation. •   Tangeretin, limonine, and tocotrienols can block other areas of cancer progression. You may not have heard of these nutrients, but they’re all readily available in a healthy diet that includes vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts, especially in their raw state.”
Philip Maffetone, The Big Book of Health and Fitness: A Practical Guide to Diet, Exercise, Healthy Aging, Illness Prevention, and Sexual Well-Being
