This tip applies to virtually all types of sports
It makes no sense to be applied within the sport you are dedicated to, i.e. the concept of nutrition is important in the search for positive results in terms of weight loss. At the same time, many people have doubts when it comes to eating before playing sports. In this sense, see below what is worth eating before physical activity.
Guidelines for eating safely hours before physical activity
“Don’t run away from what is simple. Strategies are specific and change according to methods and times. In general, the diet must be complete, contain macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids). We mention carbohydrates because they provide energy quickly and, like all nutrients, they cannot be overlooked,” said Michelle Ferro, professor of the CEUB (Centro Universitário de Brasília) Nutrition course in an exclusive interview for Sport Life.
The CEUB teacher launches an alert for those experiencing high-performance training, i.e. those professionals who have made their sport their profession with a long period of work. The recommendation is for the professional athlete on how to ingest carbohydrates.
“Carbohydrates should be consumed one to four hours before activity. Never let it eat close to training. Then there is time to digest and provide energy. Leave at least one hour before exercise. Closer (all ‘workout) is the amount should be less and when it’s two, three or four hours then you can ‘fine-tune’ the amount of carbohydrates,” explains Ferro.
More help
Michelle still admits in touch with the Sport Life report that supplements are alternatives depending on the situation. Another addition that the teacher cited as important is that you don’t train hungry and eat in large quantities, which makes digestion difficult and diverts blood flow to the skeletal muscles.
“It turns out you don’t train that well because your body is too damaged to digest both in the next workout and when you have that ‘heavy’ meal. Practical options are fruit smoothies, cheese and salad sandwiches, and fruit with milk in dust,” Michelle clarifies.
percentage
The IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) showed in November 2020 that 30.1% of Brazilians engage in physical activity in their free time. This institute also found that 13% of people aged 18 and older ate the ideal amount of fruits and vegetables. This data has changed from 9% in the Northeast and 16% in the Southeast.
Who is she?
Michele Ferro also holds a degree and a master’s degree in Nutrition from UFAL (Federal University of Alagoas). Another title in his curriculum is the specialist degree in sports nutrition and integration from Unimogi (Faculdade Mogiana do Estado de São Paulo).
