 What are the Chicago Blackhawks doing that you should also start
doing?
 
Happy Tuesday morning after the long weekend...
I was reading the article that you see below and thought it was
definitely worth sharing.
 
**Take home point: Look into taking a D3 supplement
 
You have to practice what you preach! ...I take a delicious gummy
vitamin D3 everyday so next time you are in the office you can ask
me about it.

TheChicago Blackhawks are the First Vitamin D Team in Modern
Professional Sports History

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The
Chicago Blackhawk team physicians began diagnosing and treating
vitamin D deficiency in all Blackhawk players about 18 months ago.
Apparently, most players are on 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day. To
confirm this assertion, simply ask the Blackhawk organization.

After many losing seasons, last year the Blackhawks came out of
nowhere to get to the Western conference finals. This year the
Blackhawks are playing even better.

According to my sources, improved athletic performance is only one
of the benefits for the Blackhawk players. The other is a reduction
in the number and severity of lower respiratory tract infections
and a reduction in the number and severity of repetitive use
injuries.

Six months ago, Runner's World published a story on vitamin D and
athletic performance.

Asp K. Running on D: The "sun vitamin" may boost performance, but
you probably aren't getting enough.Runners World, December 2009.

A year ago, the flagship journal of the American College of Sports
Medicine published the evidence that vitamin D would improve
athletic performance, including evidence vitamin D played a role in
the USSR and East Germany domination of the Olympics in the 1960s,
70s, and early 80s.

Cannell JJ, Hollis BW, Sorenson MB, Taft TN, Anderson JJ. Athletic
performance and vitamin D. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2009
May;41(5):1102-10.

Recently, researchers in England found a direct and strong
relationship between muscle power and vitamin D levels in teenage
girls.

Ward KA, et al. Vitamin D status and muscle function in
post-menarchal adolescent girls. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2009
Feb;94(2):559-63.

However, readers of the Vitamin D Council's newsletter first
learned about vitamin D and athletic performance in 2007:

Cannell, JJ. Peak Athletic Performance and Vitamin D. Vitamin D
Council Newsletter, March 2007.

If the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup this year, other teams, from
high school to professional, may start paying attention to the
vitamin D status of their players. That would be a big boost to the
Vitamin D Council's goal of educating the world about the
importance of vitamin D.
