NUTRITION TIMING - Sports people and their coaches have spent much of their time focusing on two aspects of sports nutrition - quantity (how much food the athlete is consuming and quality (the type of nutrient, such as carbohydrate, protein or fat). Now, researchers have confirmed what bodybuilders and strength athletes have known for years - the fact that nutrient timing also makes a big difference to gains in performance.

We're seeing a gradual erosion of the nutritional value of food, in everything from the vitamin C content of oranges through to the zinc and copper levels in corns and other grains." See a comparison of nutrients here.

"Science shows that proper nutrition at the cellular level is at least as important to both health and athletic performance as strength training, cardiovascular training, and recovery time. In fact, it’s the foundation for everything else. When you’ve trained as hard as you can, supplementing your diet with nutrients designed specifically to boost muscle growth, recovery, circulation, energy efficiency, and resilience of muscle fibers and connective tissue make all the difference."

You've trained and you now need to repair the muscle fibres with protein.  Adequate, high quality protein assists muscle cells in repairing themselves. 30 -120 mins after exercise. Drink Formula 1 mixed in a protein-rich beverage (cow’s milk, soy milk or yogurt). So you have both a plant based protein and milk based protein source. Or eat a Protein Bar. For added protein for muscle build, add the Formula 3 Protein Supplement Powder to a Formula 1 shake.  Are you getting the right protein intake? See example of usage depending on the type of exercise.

Sports nutrition-recovery RECOVERY SUPPLEMENTS

So you you breathe in more oxygen than the average person and therefore you generate more free radicals. Increase your intake of fresh seasonal foods and include a powerful antioxidant supplement such as Herbalife 24 Hydrate on a daily basis which provides antioxidant protection to help protect the body against free radical damage and boost immunity during and after physical exercise. Antioxidants  help to reduce muscle cell damage by removing lactic acid from muscles more quickly and neutralising free radicals. The benefits are reduced recovery times (average person takes 48-72 hrs to recover from exercise!!), and an increased immune system. Excessive free radical activity prematurely ages the body, so as an athlete ensure that you are get enough antioxidants in your diet.  For more info on the impact of  free radicals click here.  And see specialist products, such as the Herbal Aloe drink for runners tummy, and Xtra Cal for striong healthy bones.
