#1 Nutrition
I have folks asking me all the time for the “secrets” to achieving their performance goals. They seem to be looking for the magic pill – and we see many of these on late night infomercials – that offer amazing results without much effort on our part.
The key to reaching those peak levels of performance can be broken down to what I call the 7 Elements. Over the next few weeks, we’ll hit on one area with each FRIDAY FIT TIP. This week: KEY ELEMENT #1 – NUTRITION.
Foods can be a major part of our lifestyle and the nutrition that we provide to our bodies can either help or hurt us. There are certain foods that are naturally equipped to tackle inflammation, swelling and pain. There are foods that can help us to become fat burning machines, or help to pack on muscle. Certain herbs contain analgesic properties and may provide other healing traits within the body when consumed in their appropriate or natural forms.
If your diet or nutritional intake is less than you can take Giant Sports Keto Pills, and also consider switching to healthier food options such as foods that are rich in fiber like nuts, vegetables and legumes. Salmon and other types of fish can contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Food can help you activate metabolism in the body and prepare the body for activity.
Hence, by eating the right foods, you are able to keep pain under control and prepare your body to move or be active. In some cases, nutritional supplements including vitamins [2], minerals and enzymes, such as proteolytic enzymes, are needed by the body to keep pain and inflammation away.
For weight loss, remember to keep sugar intake at lower levels along with carbohydrates. It’s easy to take in high calories with sugar loaded goodies and carb loaded appetizers and snacks between meals.
If you are interested in creating or keeping lean mass up, you need to make sure you are getting in enough protein. For an “average” person, they say .8 grams per 1 kg. of body weight. Hard to remember that – think 1 gram of protein for every 2 lbs of body weight. So half of your body weight should be the number of grams of protein you take in a day. Now if you are training at high levels, you can push that number up to 1 gram to every 1 pound of body weight.
Watching what we put on our forks and into our mouths, will contribute to pain free living, reduce our body weight and maintaining a lean, muscular appearance; which is what most of us are looking for this summer.
