To get all these benefits, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">diet should be healthy to have the necessary energy and nutriments to make your body work softly<\/span>, without any excesses. Here are 10 nutritional tips for sportspeople to make the most of their training:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1)<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> Complex carbohydrates<\/span> to keep high glucose levels in your blood and prevent you from having hypoglycaemia. If you want a good resistance without getting tired, the key is in getting good glycogen provisions and making a good use of them.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cooked <a href=\"https:\/\/shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/cereals-properties-benefits-and-recipes-2\/\">whole cereals and pulses.<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Cereals<\/span> will help your muscles not to be weak, so you don\u2019t lose strength, and not very hard, so ligaments don\u2019t break.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/healthy-recipe-millet-vegetarian-burger\/\">Millet in burgers<\/a>, brown rice in paella, wheat in spaghettis, oat flakes for breakfast\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3) The quantity of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">iron<\/span> that sportspeople need, is superior to anybody else\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><em>Whole cereals, seeds, pulses, algae, green leaves, fish. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Protein<\/span> needs of sportspeople are bigger than the ones of a sedentary person, that\u2019s why it is important to include lysine and methionine amino acids in the diet.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pulses, fishes, cereals.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5) I nevertheless recommend having <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a diet low in proteins<\/span> so the metabolic products\u2019 load will be reduced at the maximum and will be eliminated by the kidneys, which will result in less water loss.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6) Body has to be well hydrated before and after practising sport. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Food has to be rich in water<\/span>. If the exercise has been long, you have to recover water and electrolytes. The more efficient way to do it is having 3-years-old tea, as bancha or kukicha with umeboshi plum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>7) It is better to practice sport <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2 or 3 hours after eating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Practicing sport after breakfast: oat flakes, whole rice or millet porridge with some almond milk, some sesame or pumpkin seeds; perfect to get all the energy you need.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Practicing sport after lunch: whole pasta as first course and fish with lightly cooked vegetables as a second course.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If sport will take some hours I recommend a continuous glucose intake. For instance, mochi tablets or onigiri balls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>8) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Avoid eating carbohydrates of high glycaemic level <\/span>as sugar, honey, potatoes, fruits juices, white bread and pastries among other things\u2026<\/p>\n<p>These foods suddenly increase insulin concentration, making that the great part of glucose is stocked as fat and do not permit to use it well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>9) To practice sport, muscles don\u2019t have to be too weak or strong. For that, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">salt, eggs, red meat, alcohol, sugar, tropical juices or too many fruits can\u2019t be included in the diet<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>10) It is important to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">avoid water excess,<\/span> that could get your kidneys tired, and that will make you sweat more. Avoid dehydrated food as dried fruits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope these tips will be useful and that you can benefit even more of your training!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you practice sport or moderated exercise, you will get great benefits: activation of lymphatic and blood circulation, lungs\u2019 oxygenation, increase of energy, improvement of the immune system, better liquid elimination and endorphins\u2019 generation.
