subject: Fitness and Nutrition Programs For Working in Ballet Shoes and Pointe Shoes [print this page] Calcium/magnesium/phosphorus/Vitamin D is a combination showing up a lot now. It's proportioned properly for the best utilization by the body.
Liquid versions abound in the natural health food stores. Hopefully that means that the sources are natural (not made in a lab). This enables the body to recognize the product and use it. Chemical vitamins are not used by the body.
Since the body knows better than chemists do, as in balancing and using nutrients, it is best to give it a combination of vitamins and minerals that work together. If an athlete takes calcium for muscles, for example, he/she may not be able to benefit from the calcium without symbiotic minerals. Magnesium is often mixed with calcium. Magnesium prevents the "spark plugs" that electrically fire to contract a muscle, from repetitive firing, which results in muscle spasms. The muscle contracts and cannot relax. Calcium feeds the muscle, magnesium allows relaxation, and phosphorus needs to be in balance, and Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption.
Taut muscles lose tone. They need to be stretched, relaxed, and rested. Lean meats, chicken, fish, and tofu mixed with a variety of vegetables and salads, provide a broad range of proteins, vitamins and minerals. Fruits add nutrition too.
Muscles that work into knots and spasms simply need more. Firstly, proper technique and class regimens don't lead to such terrible knots and spasms - but once they are present - what to do?
A calcium supplement, balanced with magnesium, phosphorus and Vitamin D, will help relax the muscles and restore them to a workable condition. Tension melts and you can sleep better. You will get more out of your pointe classes, pre-pointe routines and repetitive grands plie (if you are a male student pushing for more thigh strength) if you follow good fitness and nutrition guidelines. Look around on the internet and in your local health food stores for quality calcium supplements, in the combination mentioned here. Life will be a lot easier in your ballet shoes and pointe shoes.
