Nutrition for sport and fitness – give yourself a competitive edge
Being a triathlete and regular gym-goer I know how difficult it is to get the right nutrition, especially as most sports drinks and foods contain many unnatural flavourings and colours.
Marketing is very much geared towards sugar loaded snacks and drinks, and although these offer some energy, they are detrimental to our overall health.
Many people who exercise regularly have terrible diets as they falsely believe that because they exercise and can because they work the extra calories off it doesn’t matter.
I believe that if you exercise and give your body what it REALLY needs you are then able to achieve your goals much easier.
Your needs are unique.
You need:
- To ensure you get the right carbohydrates for energy
- Good quality protein for recovery
- Proper hydration
- Snacks which provide essential nutrients
Consultations will provide you with:
- Ideas on alternative natural sports drinks and snacks
- Natural sports supplements
- Best sources of protein for recovery
- Natural carbohydrates for energy
- Food choices for before, during and after training
- Hydration tips
If you take your sport and training seriously, it’s time to get serious with your diet too.
