Antioxidants After Training

Two questions

Is there a negative to eating antioxidant herbs and foods within a certain time frame after training like some recommend not having omega 3s for at least a couple of hours after training?

And also for health is it better not to consistently eat foods with the same antioxidants day after day as i think i saw some study or something saying it down regulates the bodys own antioxidant network?

Thanks

Yes. Mega-dosing of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, or other antioxidants lead to decreased insulin sensitivity followed after exercise. (Source: too lazy to pull up, but visit longecity.org and search. Also check Google Scholar)

And OM-3s aren’t antioxidants , they are actually pro-oxidants. Poly’s oxidize easily. Omega 3’s are good for you, but don’t over do the polyunsats. Stick to Mono and saturated.

Specifically, #9

#1… the study the other poster mentioned I believe
