When it comes to fitness, nutrition is as important as your training regime, if not more. Here are some superfoods to consider
SPORTS SCIENCE is the study of performance and all the variables that contribute to the marginal gains that improve an athlete’s performance. Whenever someone asks me about these variables, the subject inadvertently veers towards supplementation, and whether or not we can trust the source of these supplements.
Having worked with professional athletes for close to two decades, I am amazed at how many athletes question the source of their supplements but are completely ignorant when questioned about the source of the food they ingest.
Most professional athletes train twice a day and eat between five to seven meals in a day, yet they have not deduced that the quality of their food impacts their healing, recovery, performance, psychological and emotional well-being.
This realisation sent me down a path that made me question not only the source of the food we eat, but also the most adequate preparation method that helps unlock the true potential of superfoods.
I have also worked closely with the nutrition experts at Herbalife, which creates some of the world’s leading science based nutrition products, to help decipher how natural and botanical ingredients can help you get the nutrition you need.
