Sport Nutrition: Eat your Way to the Top of your Sport

Filed under: nutrition — Tags: , , — admin @ 9:00 am

There are many factors that affect your performance, but one of the keys is having your body in top condition and provided with the best nutrition. While most people understand that nutrition is a major factor in keeping our bodies healthy, sport nutrition requires eating healthy to an even higher level. A wise athlete recognizes that sport nutrition is very important and is something to be taken seriously if they want to maintain good health.

While most experienced endurance athletes know the importance of eating and drinking enough calories, some do not consume enough nutrition for their sport. When establishing a proper nutrition plan for endurance athletes, you still need to factor in exactly which sport they are training for competition. While most people eat to satisfy their hunger and remain healthy, sport nutrition is designed to make your body perform its best.

When establishing a diet for an athlete, it is best to consult a professional sport nutrition expert. A good place to start planning meals and menus as an athlete is with a sport nutritionist if you do not know how to do so yourself. Another good (more…)

Blood Type Nutrition

Filed under: nutrition — Tags: , , — admin @ 1:45 am

The blood type nutrition is still a controversy for people in the medical field and according to experts it hasn’t proven medical research.  The theory is that blood type affects how your body breaks down and deals with the various foods.  By following blood type nutrition it is claimed that you’ll feel healthier, lower your risk of certain diseases and lose weight.  Until this day, you’ll be surprised that some people don’t even know there own blood type or the possible relationship it may have to nutrition, exercise, our personality, and vulnerability to diseases.  There is still skepticism among the medical field of experts stating that there is no correlation between blood type and nutrition or how it can prevent illnesses such as heart disease.  My purpose of this article is to bring awareness and information to the readers.  Observe and see what type of changes or affects it may benefit you if you plan to try it out. 

In 1950, William C. Boyd published a book called “Genetics and the races of man: An introduction to modern physical anthropology”.  His background is an immunochemist and blood type anthropologist. He explained how the genetic analysis of blood groups and divided the (more…)

Finding Good Nutrition Advice

Filed under: nutrition — Tags: , , — admin @ 7:59 am

There is certainly a huge amount of information in circulation these days; on the web, in magazines, on the television. Trying to separate out fact from fiction can be quite the daunting task. Let me just give you a few pointers to help you at least figure out who can legitimately call themselves an expert on nutrition information, which may help you decide which articles you can trust.

First of all, you should know that ANYONE could call himself or herself a nutritionist. There are no laws or guidelines determining who can give out nutrition advice. I will never forget when I was visiting my parents one weekend while going to graduate school. While at the swimming pool at our local Jewish Community Center, a friend of theirs wanted to know what I was studying at college. “Nutrition science” I replied. And I?ll never forget what this woman said: ?oh, my daughter has read so many books on nutrition that I?m sure she can call herself a nutritionist just like you.? I was astounded! Surely my parents would have loved finding out all their hard earned oney on my college education could have been spent (more…)

The Worldwide Effects Of Sports Nutrition Products

Filed under: nutrition — Tags: , , — admin @ 7:03 am

It is very obvious in the current market that sports nutrition products come from various different places worldwide. The interest in these products can be seen from all over the world. Many people assume that it is only in demand from people who live in first world countries.

Now though being interested in sports nutrition does not automatically mean that the person concerned has to participate in sports. Many people see it as way of having a positive attitude towards their health in general. With the current ad campaigns going on around the world, more and more people are looking for ways of improving their health and see nutrition as a part of that.

Sports nutrition is most definitely a worldwide concept now. With more people becoming interested in it from around the world. Before many people were not overly conscious with what they were eating and the nutrients that the food provided. Now though, nutrition labels can be seen on nearly all food products so that nutrients that the food provides can be seen by people who have a keen interest in providing their body with the correct types of food.

The incorporation of nutrition programs in several fitness centers and sports (more…)

Antioxidants, Free Radicals, and Sports Nutrition

Filed under: nutrition — Tags: , , — admin @ 12:59 pm

As you know, I am a physician. It’s part of my profession to keep abreast of what’s happening in medical /health research. Being retired helps, because doctors simply do not generally have the “extra time” to devote to the scientific literature.

But I do. And I love it. I am one of those individuals who really enjoys …brace yourself…chemistry. When I’m done here, you should be excited too, especially if you are interested in sports nutrition and antioxidants, though not necessarily in that order.

Sports nutrition is a vast industry with emphasis on optimizing PERFORMANCE. Off hand, I can think of quite a few categories involving sports nutrition:

* sports nutrition and supplements for athletes,

* sports nutrition and athletic performance,

* sports nutrition and body building,

* sports nutrition and endurance training,

* sports nutrition and special diets in a variety of sports,

* sports nutrition and strength training,

* sports nutrition for running, jogging, walking, skiing, swimming

* There’s even Rocky Mountain sports nutrition

* …the list is endless.

So far, no surprises, huh? Well, here’s one for you. Did you know that when you exercise (more…)

Smoking Cigarettes (tobacco) and Nutrition

Filed under: nutrition — Tags: , , — admin @ 11:15 am

This article is about nutrition in relation for smokers, the one who asked it me asked a good question, asking for nutrition instead of food. Please do read till the end!

Maybe for some people food is nutrition and vise versa however there’s a huge difference, medically seen, between food and nutrition. Simply said what we take in our mouth to eat (no candy or so but really eating) is food, if this food is nutritious depends on the food and on the way you and your body convert the food into nutrition.

You and your body, this seems to be odd but is an important factor. The audience I’m writing for are people from welfare countries and in our western world eating is often an “in-between-case”. You’re working and while working you eat quickly this happens much for example in a car too, you need to catch a meeting and eat quickly in your car. In such cases that you eat quickly I call that you food processing, you put food in your mouth and a lot of the food you swallow without chewing first, that’s bad and more bad for smokers. In this case (more…)
