  1. Importance of Nutrition for Athletes

  2. Primary Goal

  3. Living Healthy • The amount of food people usually require depends upon factors like age, height, weight, and sports activity level.  • The number of calories needed by athletes is significantly higher than for the average individual. Calories can be found in a variety of food types, including proteins, lipids, and carbs.

  4. Carbohydrates: • Carbohydrates is a crucial source of the calories your body needs. • Improve the body’s muscles and crucial molecules needed for physical activity.  • Healthy carbs for an athlete’s diet include whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, oats, and starchy foods like potatoes.

  5. Fats • Fats are essential in the diet to maintain bodily processes like hormone metabolism and neurotransmission factor.  • Fats serve many functions in the body like protecting the hormones, helping the body to absorb and manufacture some important nutrients, and energize the body. • At a lower intensity, the fats which are stored in the muscle are used as a fuel source.

  6. Proteins • Proteins are a crucial component of the nutrients needed for sporting activity.  • Proteins give the body an adequate supply of amino acids, which aid in muscle and tissue growth and repair.  • Protein, as opposed to carbohydrates or fats, effectively encourages indulgence and a sense of fullness.  • Some of the high-protein diets for athletes include soybean, nuts, eggs, and lentils.

  7. Micro-nutrients, supplements, and hydration • Athletes may make sure they are getting the necessary vitamins and minerals in their diets to improve both their overall health and athletic performance. • Athletes should stay hydrated. Given that sweat losses are a combination of fluids, and electrolytes like sodium and potassium, athletes can stay hydrated by constantly drinking water, energy drinks at times, to meet their hydration needs. • Depending on the sport they participate in, athletes have various dietary needs.
