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!
