The Perfect Gift for a Young Girl
Many young girls are fascinated by the image of the UNICORN.
What does the Unicorn represent?
The Unicorn is a MYTHICAL CREATURE that has been described since antiquity as a HORSE-like animal with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. (Later believed to just be mountain goats. 😎)
It represents FEMININITY and UNIQUENESS.
And according to Wiki, it also has the Power to cleanse and Heal sickness.
Wikipedia Similar Creatures: Re'em, Qilin, Karkadann, Shadhavar, Camahueto, Indrik.
So the Perfect Gift for that young lady (or really any lady!) in your life (daughter, sister, niece, mom, or sweetie!) might just be:
A Unicorn Necklace!

What is Lactic Acid Soreness?

Actually, none of the above statements is
true. Recent research has demonstrated that lactic acid is not what we
once though it was, in almost every way. Read on, and learn the truth
behind the lies you’ve been told.
Six Lies You Were Taught About Lactic Acid

Lie #1: Muscles Produce Lactic Acid During Exercise
The muscles do not produce lactic acid during exercise. They produce a very similar compound called lactate. Whatever you call it, this substance is not produced as a waste product of anaerobic metabolism, as once believed. It’s actually an intermediate link between anaerobic and aerobic metabolism.Read more at http://running.competitor.com/2014/01/training/six-lies-you-were-taught-about-lactic-acid_29432/2#hUFPoRIxvIlYbWCR.99
Lie #2: Lactic Acid Causes Muscle Fatigue
Most athletes believe that lactate (as we’ll call it from now on) causes muscle fatigue by making the muscles too acidic to contract effectively. This is not true. While the muscles do become more acidic during exercise, lactate is not the cause. In any case, far from hastening fatigue, lactate accumulation in the muscles actually delays fatigue by mitigating the effects of a phenomenon known as depolarization. During intense exercise, your muscles lose power in the same way a battery does: by becoming depolarized. The accumulation of lactate in muscle tissue during intense exercise partly counteracts the effect of depolarization.Read more at http://running.competitor.com/2014/01/training/six-lies-you-were-taught-about-lactic-acid_29432/3#WeQ4pZiLmQUABBTO.99
Lie #3: Lactic Acid Causes Soreness
Lactate does not cause post-exercise muscle soreness. The simplest proof of this is the fact that very little lactate is produced during highly prolonged, low-intensity exercise, and yet it is this very type of exercise that leaves the muscles sorest in the following days. Post-exercise muscle soreness is actually caused by simple mechanical damage to muscle fibers, free radical damage, and inflammation.Read more at http://running.competitor.com/2014/01/training/six-lies-you-were-taught-about-lactic-acid_29432/4#fr1xbtcrWtOctSg3.99
Lie #4: Lactic Acid Does Not Contribute To Exercise Performance
Without lactate, you would not get fitter in response to training to the same degree you do with it. Lactate production during intense exercise stimulates a phenomenon called mitochondrial biogenesis after exercise. The mitochondria are little factories inside the muscle cells where aerobic metabolism occurs—that is, where oxygen is used to break down fats and glucose to yield energy. An increase in the concentration of mitochondria inside muscle cells is one of the major adaptations to training that improve endurance performance. And lactate makes it happen. This is one of the reasons high-intensity interval training is such a potent performance booster.Read more at http://running.competitor.com/2014/01/training/six-lies-you-were-taught-about-lactic-acid_29432/5#CzF0CAf6B5mFrDUy.99
Lie #5: Muscles Do Not Use Lactic Acid For Fuel
Some athletes are aware that lactate produced during exercise can be “recycled” into glucose and used as fuel by the muscles, heart, and brain. But few are aware that lactate is also metabolized aerobically in the mitochondria as a direct fuel for muscle contractions. In fact, it has been estimated that roughly 75 percent of the lactate produced inside the muscle cells is used in this way, and only 25 percent leaks out into the bloodstream, where it can be measured through blood lactate testing.Read more at http://running.competitor.com/2014/01/training/six-lies-you-were-taught-about-lactic-acid_29432/6#Sd5OzULJIAh2pdGP.99
Lie #6: Better Athletes Produce Less Lactic Acid
Some of the world’s best endurance athletes, such as Michael Phelps, appear to produce significantly less lactate during intense exercise than lesser athletes. This makes sense if you believe that lactate is a toxic waste product that causes fatigue and does not help exercise performance in any way. But it doesn’t makes sense in the light of current knowledge about the effects of lactic acid. And it’s also very unlikely to be true.In all likelihood, the reason there is less lactate in the blood of the likes of Meb Keflezighi and Michael Phelps during intense exercise is not that their muscles produce less, but rather that they use more. If, in the average endurance athlete, 75 percent of lactate is burned in the mitochondria and only 25 percent escapes into the bloodstream, in come very special athletes, perhaps 85 percent of lactate is burned and only 15 percent escapes.
