A balanced diet plays a crucial role in the performance and success of athletes. Whether professional athlete, fitness enthusiast or casual athlete – the right nutrition supports physical performance, regeneration and helps prevent injuries. Athletes have an increased need for nutrients to optimally support increased energy consumption and muscle mass development.
On this page, we will look at the basic principles of a sport-specific diet. In doing so, we will address the importance of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as the importance of micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
In addition, we will talk about the importance of adequate hydration and how it helps athletes maintain their performance. In addition, you’ll find recipes directly for sports, as well as everyday recipes suitable for families and geared towards children.
Have fun reading and trying them out.
