It’s no secret that nutrition can make or break your athletic performance. However, with so much information available to the public, how do you know which nutrition advice to believe?
Consume a balanced meal (protein + carb + fat) 3-4 hours pre-workout for optimal digestion. Have a carb-rich snack 30-60 mins pre-workout for fuel.
Your reaction to a food may differ from others due to variations in DNA, gut bacteria, and digestive system.
For optimal recovery post-workout, have a protein-rich shake within 30 minutes, followed by a balanced meal within 1-2 hours.
While the ideal diet consists of fresh, nutrient-dense foods, the reality for many is juggling work, school, and family alongside training sessions.
Consuming fermented foods daily is a superior way to boost the immune system. Aim for 1-3 servings of fermented foods each day.
Water is crucial, but for highly active individuals (training over 60 min/day at moderate to high intensity), it may not suffice.
Freshly ground spices, anti-inflammatory foods, and supplements are underrated in sports nutrition despite research supporting their health benefits.
