NUTRITION
Correct practice of good nutrition is the fundamental aspect behind any
successful training regime. By
practicing good nutrition, not only will you be supplying your body with the
right fuels to perform, but you will also be maintaining a healthy, fully
functioning body!
There are 6 nutrient classes which all play an important role in
the body. These classifications
are: Carbohydrate, Fat, Protein,
Vitamins, Minerals and Water.
All foods can be ultimately broken down into carbohydrate, fat
or protein. RDA of these three is:
Carbohydrate – 55-60%, Fat – 30% (less than 10% of this should be saturated
fat), and Protein – 10-15%.
Carbohydrate is the body’s primary fuel! It plays the major role in providing
sufficient energy for you to train! Incorrect levels of carbohydrate before,
during or post-exercise will result in incorrect functioning of your body, poor
quality in your training and the failure to meet your goals – whether they are
weight loos, strength build of general fitness maintenance.
Carbohydrate regulates fat and protein metabolism, so simply by
not having enough carbohydrate in your diet can result in the storage of fat in
the body and the loss of muscle to compensate!
The nervous system also relies on this supply of carbohydrate for
energy.
Did you know?
Good nutritional practice is the key to weight management. By eating small portions of food regularly
throughout the day, you will help to speed up your metabolism (the calorie
burning engine!) and generate faster calorie loss than if you were to exercise
without proper nutrition!
