Gordon Ramsay is forced to withdraw from Ironman triathlon in Hawaii
Gordon Ramsay was pushed to his limit when he was forced to withdraw from the Ironman World Championships triathlon in Hawaii, which included a 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bike leg and marathon run, after suffering severe dehydration on Saturday. The 48-year-old TV chef was physically sick during the bike ride section of the gruelling race and revealed he could not go any further in the challenge when he was forced to seek medical attention. Gordon completed the race, which is deemed ‘the world’s toughest’ of its kind, in 2013 in an incredible time of 14 hours. Despite being in tip-top shape, the top chef could not manage this particular branch of the famous race, where he was raising money for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, as dehydration caused his body to ‘shut down’. The ailing competitor, who was a footballer before his food career, was seen throwing up and later took to his Facebook page to explain to his 4.6 million followers what had happened to make him withdraw. During my bike ride I threw up several times and wasn’t able to keep anything down, making me dehydrated. I thought I’d be able to push through the marathon, but my body just shut down. Thank you to the IRONMAN medical staff who assisted me as well as to the Hawai’i Police Department. I will be BACK !!!! Gx’. During Saturday’s triathlon Gordon kept his fans posted via his Facebook page as he filmed videos at various intervals – to much encouragement from his fans. Gordon has previously raced in 15 marathons, three ultra-marathons, three half-Ironmans and his previous Hawaiian triathlon.

Flintstones Chewable Vitamins were the first vitamins I remember taking. You won’t have to deviate from your normal routine to stop by a Vitamin Shoppe, GNC or any vitamin store, and, get this, you don’t even have to buy or take any vitamins. You just need to know what each vitamin does and what foods they’re in. Vitamin A helps keep our vision clear and healthy by helping us see at night or in dark and dim lit situations. The B vitamin group contains eight types which help us metabolize our food into energy when we need it and helps generate and distribute red blood cells that oxygenize our bodies and allow them to function properly. At the grocery store look for whole grains like wheat and oats, seafood, fish, poultry and meat, eggs, milk, yogurt, beans, peas and leafy green vegetables to help you load up on B vitamins. Most of us know Vitamin C helps prevent infection by strengthening our immune systems but it also helps keep our body tissue strong and healthy and aids in the healing process when we have an open wound. Vitamin C is most commonly found in oranges and other citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, kiwi fruit, sweet red peppers and cantaloupe.
