7 nutritional concepts that fitness people need to know

Fitness 7 nutritional tips that people need to know: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, water,

1. Adequate drinking water helps improve sports performance

Studies have proven that a 10% loss of body water can lead to a 30% decrease in exercise capacity. Don't let this happen to you!

2. Don’t rely on supplements to ensure nutrition

Nutritional supplements should only be used as a supplement to a healthy diet. If you use them as your main source of nutritional intake, on the one hand it will cost a lot of money, and on the other hand your fitness plan will be prone to mistakes.

3. Fat is not the enemy

In today’s era of “fat talk”, many people are overly worried about fat intake. In fact, you should be careful not to eat too much saturated fat, and instead consume healthy fats (omega-3s, omega-6s, flaxseed oil, etc.) every day. Of course, you need to include the calories from fat in your meal plan.

4. Carbohydrates are not the enemy either

If you're on a low-carb diet, you probably won't feel too good about it. Carbohydrates are the only energy the brain can use, and muscle movement also requires sufficient carbohydrate energy.

5. Carbohydrates are not the culprit of obesity

Despite what the ads say, carbohydrates do not make you fat, but excess calories are the root cause. If you exercise and don't overeat, you can eat a lot of carbs and not gain weight.

6. Protein is important, but not excessive

Protein superstition is another reason for low-carb diets. While protein is critical for muscle repair and growth, eating too much can interfere with digestion, tax your kidneys, and is an inefficient source of energy.

7. Multivitamins to ensure nutrition

Although nutritional supplements cannot replace a healthy diet, it is very necessary to take a multivitamin every day to ensure the various nutrients required by the body.
