TIPS TO PREVENT HEAT ILLNESS

A heat related illness occurs when the body is not able to regulate, or control, its temperature. If left untreated, a heat illness can lead to serious complications, even death. If detected and treated early, however, most serious problems can be avoided.

The American College of Sports Medicine's 1996 Position Stand, "Exercise and Fluid Replacement" and the Gatorade Sport Science Institute (1997) generally recommend the following:
• Drink at least 32 oz. two hours before exercise
• Drink 16 oz. 15 minutes before exercise
• Drink 4-8 oz. every 15 minutes during exercise to replace sweat
• Drink 24 oz. for every 1 pound of body weight deficit post-activity
• Overall, an individual should drink 10-12 cups (80-96 oz.) daily

Be Aware of Supplements
• Research has shown supplements use can raise blood pressure, speed heart rate and contribute to dehydration.
• Products containing ephedrine contribute to fatal heart rhythm difficulties, heat related illnesses, stroke, and seizures.
• Ephedrine raises the body's heat production and body temperatures and increases the risk of developing heat illnesses.
• Supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As a result, nutritional labels may be inconsistent.
• Creatine may be linked to muscle cramping if working out in the heat of the day.

Keep Cool
• Use ice towels
• Use cold tub
• Wear light-weight clothing

Notify Medical Professional if experiencing any signs of dehydration and heat illness.

Brain-Pad has 5 Benefits other mouthguards lack

It's not a real complicated story we have to tell. There are all the other mouthguards out there from a $1 piece to a $200 custom made Dental piece. Most of them are Upper Only. Simply put the Brain-Pad has 5 Important Advantages over them all:

1) Secures and Cushions the Lower Jaw

Repositions and secures the jaw, creating a safety space at the base of brain and TMJ. Preventing the lower jaw from slamming the base of the skull and TMJ area. This with a shock absorbent inner core reduces the risk of injury to the Brain and TMJ.

Jaw .

2) Improves Airflow

Opens Airways and allows breathing through mouth even while clenching. By positioning the jaw down and slightly forward it opens your airways in a similar manner as taught in CPR.

3) Only mouthpiece ever to be tested

The Brain-Pad has been laboratory tested and even when tested with a new generation helmet it has proved to reduce lower jaw impact forces to the TMJ & base of the skull as much as 40%.

4) All models fit over Braces

Most braces models are designed to protect the braces not the athlete. Why shouldn't athletes wearing braces have the same superior protection?

5) Protects the Upper and Lower Teeth

In addition Brain-Pad aligns the jaw to maximize strength allowing your muscles to work at 100%. Also known as the M.O.R.A. effect.

Why choose anything else?
