I’m gonna talk about what to do if you

get sick when you exercise now some

people they get sick if they over train

or if they’re doing some type of an

endurance type exercise like a triathlon

they actually get the flu or they get a

cold now there’s quite a bit of research

on this I put some links below but it

has to do with the deficiency of

l-glutamine it’s the most abundant free

amino acid and it’s needed by the white

blood cell the leukocytes at very high

levels it’s also needed to support the

gut immune mucosal layer which is

basically the barrier to your immune

system so if you don’t have enough

l-glutamine and you’re overtraining or

you’re exercising too much your immune

system will be suppressed and you’ll

have less ability to fight infections

and this can also occur if you’re very

very deficient and you just do a little

mild exercise I’ve seen that happen to

where as soon as you start working out

you start getting like the flu symptoms

you just need to take some l-glutamine

and I would recommend take between five

to ten grams per day and it’s not just

the exercise that can exaggerate the

need for glutamine it could also be a

systemic inflammatory condition or a

chronic infection which a lot of people

have this and they don’t know even have

this or a post surgery or some type of

trauma from a burn or an accident so

just realize that there’s a connection

between your stress and immune system

and this is the food that feeds the

immune system to keep up with this
