so recently I was doing some research on certain adaptogens those are herbs that help you adapt to stress and I did a thorough Deep dive on ashanda which is an amazing herb but there’s another herb that’s equally interesting especially for a certain effect that it can create that I really didn’t understand until I really Dove head first into it and this herb is called riola so riola is an adaptogen it has this really interesting effect that I was just questioning and is this it can help significantly reduce perceived effort after exercise so basically does it trick your mind into thinking that you’re not tired so you can go longer and if you kept going would you actually get worse physically so this just didn’t make sense to me so I’m going to show you what I found about it which is going to be very interesting now just so you know rode Ola being an adaptogen it’s antistress it has an anti- coughing effect it can help you if you cough it’s anti fatigue anti- depression especially if that depression is more Ley but it can really improve one’s endurance with exercise so let me just first show you this one graph right here this is part of the study and I will put a link down below they’re comparing riola to a placebo and what you’re looking at right here is just a numbered scaled on perceived effort how much effort a person felt when they were exercising and so right here was after they were comparing the riola to the placebo after just taking it not exercising and there was some improvement but look what happened after exercise people had more energy less fatigue than the placebo and this was very significant and that got my attention because I’m like why would it do that take a look at this we have the flight or fight mechanism and then we have the recovery mechanism the names for this uh if we’re looking at the the auton nervous system that system that works on automatic that kind of regulates all the body functions including your heart and glands and everything is made up of the sympathetic nervous system it’s like your adaptation to stress okay and then once you go through the stress and then you have to recovery and so both of these things can be measured on a device that I’m going to be releasing more information about that soon but I just wanted to let you know that it is possible to measure what’s going on this would be like the gas pedal and this is like the brake pad but the problem is sometimes when we’re stressed or we have body problems we don’t really know do I have too much gas pedal do I have too much stress or is it just I don’t have enough recovery well this device allows you to look at each one to measure it because even right here if you’re recovery is weak and this is sleep cycles right we go through these four sleep cycles right here from a deep sleep to a light sleep deep sleep light sleep the lighter sleep is called the REM sleep and that is where you dream and you remember your dreams but the wavelengths are similar to being awake okay but you’re actually asleep so that’s the r and you can see the REM gets longer towards the second half of sleep and that’s controlled mainly by the sympathetic nervous system but the deeper sleep is controlled by the parasympathetic and so that’s way more important in rejuvenating your body okay because it allows you to recover the physical damage that was created from the exercise or whatever you’re doing and one quick way to know that you have a good parasympathetic is how fast can you go to sleep can you go to sleep really fast do you can you just go right into this deep sleep or does it take a while to get to sleep because this uh recovery thing is pushing you down into the deeper sleep and the reason I’m talking about this is riola has a really uh positive effect on your sleep it helps you sleep especially this nonr sleep in fact one St I found was that your body required less sleep to get rejuvenated and that was even more interesting now I did find three research papers that showed taking riola can improve something called heart rate variability which is basically the technology of measuring the autonomic nervous system and so now it’s starting to make sense okay so that’s why someone can go longer because you’re improving the ability to adapt and recover of course you’re G to have more endurance so it’s happening it’s not that your body is just reducing the perception of effort it’s making things more efficient because I found other research that shows that riola increases glycogen reserves that’s like stored fuel especially for intense exercise and even an increase in ATP which is the energy currency of the body now I’m going to put this research down below but there’s some fascinating data showing how riola is a prominent anti- altitude sickness remedy okay what does that mean this means that can help someone that is climbing m mountains that then get sick because of this high altitude situation because the oxygen at the high altitudes is less and people basically can get sick from that if they can’t adapt to that but apparently this is a well-known remedy for people who do uh mountain climbing which is very interesting so how does that work I mean how does riola help that and this is what they found it decreases oxygen consumption as well as increasing oxygen transportation that doesn’t mean it shuts down oxygen it basically makes oxygen more efficient to help make ATP that energy currency of the body as well as its ability or capacity to carry oxygen to certain things and it can decrease tissue in organ damage from hypoxia all right what’s hypoxia well that’s basically a lack of oxygen think about what happens when you do these massive climbs right there’s lack of oxygen so you’re going to develop all sorts of hypoxic symp symptoms like altitude sickness Etc so it puts a tremendous stress on the body so riola counters the damage from hypoxia and it just allows oxygen to work better in your body which makes a lot of sense because what stops you from doing a longer exercise well eventually just you could run out of oxygen and your muscles cramp up so riola is not just tricking your brain to perceive less effort it’s actually giving more Endurance by making the machine the recovery machine the energy machine the oxygen machine just to work more efficiently it’s like giving you more gas in the tank more uh recovery Reserve in the tank which makes a lot of sense because now we don’t have the severity of damage from this hypoxia that we had if you didn’t take it even students uh take it to have more cognitive function yet at the same time be calm so it’s really interesting about these adaptogens because they help you adapt if you have too much stress or not enough recovery so it you don’t necessarily have to use them for one situation I mean riola is uh considered like folk medicine right and it’s been around for a thousand years the Russian army would use it for their soldiers when they got fatig and the other two papers that I was looking at uh both improved the heart rate variability score which is a very important thing as well as improving angina pains now what is angina that’s when you’re heart cramps right why because of lack of oxygen so apparently riola somehow improves the oxygen in the muscle and then the last study showed Improvement in the heart muscle after exercise so when you exercise and you damage the heart muscle Rola can help counter some of the damage from the hypoxia that’s generated so anyway I wanted to put this on your radar so you’re aware of it so you have another tool to use to improve your exercise performance also if you want to download onepage summary of the 25 natural ways to lower cortisol uh I’ll put that link down below
