Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3349658, member: 2524"] Nutrition is very important, but (a) there are currently insufficient good blood tests to thoroughly understand nutritional status -- what can be tested may be able to distinguish a bad diet from a good diet, but cannot identity most of the missing nutrients, because most nutrients do not reside in blood or their blood levels are closely regulated regardless of nutritional status; (b) with good diet and supplementation, nutritional deficiencies can be remedied in a few months at most. It does take years to build elite strength and conditioning, so in that sense the full response to good nutrition could easily take at least 18 months to become apparent. I felt that the high rate of injuries during the Ollie era was probably due in part to inadequate nutrition, and I hope you are right that the Alosi team has been addressing diet and nutrition. It's an important angle on athletic excellence. [/QUOTE]
