For all levels of active people, Herbalife Products can be used to fuel, refuel, repair and help with recovery. Winning Sports Nutrition Checklist 1 - Your body works a lot like a car; it needs fuel to function effectively. Your muscle cells function like a fuel tank, stored carbohydrates serve as a rapid source of fuel. Eat carbohydrate-rich foods prior to your workout to reduce the drain on your body's stored energy. 2- The most effective way to fuel up your body is with energy-rich nutrients. Eat a large meal four to six hours before you work out. Eat a lighter meal two to three hours before physical activity. Grab a snack 30 minutes prior to exercise. If you are an athlete, 50 to 60 percent of your diet should be made up of carbohydrates. 3 - Recharge your battery. Refuel during workouts that are more than 30 minutes in duration. Drink fluids that have simple carbohydrates. 4 - Tap into your reserve fuel tank for extended bouts of physical activity. Your body begins to burn fat as fuel ("in the flame of carbohydrates") after about 18 to 20 minutes of aerobic exercise (long to moderate distance). 5 - Hydrate, hydrate and re-hydrate. It is imperative to replenish the liquids you lose when working out. While exercising, be sure to drink fluids every 10 minutes - don't wait until you are actually thirsty. 6 - Protein is key to muscle maintenance and growth. Your body must receive adequate amounts of protein to function properly and to repair damaged tissue. Be sure that your body receives the recommended daily protein requirements: 1.0 to 2.0 grams per kilogram body weight (1.0 to 1,5 grams per kilogram for "ball" sports such as tennis, golf, soccer and baseball and 1.5 to 2.0 grams per kilogram for the more extreme sports such as marathon running and body building). 7 - Protein vs Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are instant food for muscles. Protein assists in recovery and repair, helping damaged muscles maintain muscle mass and increase girth. 8 - Maximising your fuelling and refuelling efforts. Be sure to eat a carbohydrate-rich food within 30 minutes of completing your exercise regimen. Take in easily digestable carbohydrates, which are converted into glucose and stored in muscles as glycogin (quick fuel). 9 - Reducing recovery time. Adequate protein. Antioxidant nutrients. Adequate fluid. 10 - Use supplementation to your advantage. Vitamins and minerals help assist the body's chemical reactions and regulatory processes. Antioxidant nutrients can help you reduce your recovery time. Supplements are especially beneficial for athletes susceptible to decreased immune systems.
